super god warlord

Liu Yuanxun, who was camping in a small village in the Turpan area, sat at a table intently and looked at the map drawn by Zhao Shouhong.After graduating from the Armed Forces Academy, he led the factory protection team to defeat the foreign army and made great contributions. He was quickly promoted by Zhao Shouhong to the position of battalion commander of the engineer battalion. He was directly in command of this dispatch.Due to the strong wind outside, the soldiers who marched for most of the day had to stay in the village to recover their strength. During this time, Liu Yuanxun was finalizing his destination.

Since studying culture, Zhao Shouhong personally wrote the three major disciplines and eight attention formulas, and used them as military discipline. The soldiers knew who they should fight for, and they also knew their responsibility to love the people. Therefore, the soldiers of the entire independent regiment They began to consciously help the people near the station, and the free time now naturally became the time for them to help the people fetch water and sweep the yard.

The people in the village have never seen such kind soldiers. In just half a day, they have changed from fear to love. Put a few dates in your arms, or serve a bowl of boiling water.

In the process of soldiers loving the common people and the common people supporting the soldiers, the soldiers all realized the benefits of strict military discipline, and they began to observe discipline more consciously to help the common people.Liu Yuanxun was no exception. He had just helped the homeowner fill a tank of clean water, and only studied the route map to Suilai County in his spare time.

At this moment, Liu Yuanxun suddenly felt his feet shaking, and the dust on the walls and roof shook off, and the room was filled with smog and choked people coughing, Liu Yuanxun was almost blinded by it.

"What happened?" The soldiers suddenly became nervous, and several officers immediately went to Liu Yuanxun to inquire about the situation.

Liu Yuanxun was also stunned for a moment, then he slapped his thigh and said: "Master Daotai is really a god, he can predict the earthquake in advance. It seems that we can't continue to rest, we must leave for the disaster area as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, he immediately Order the trumpeter to blow the emergency assembly number of the whole army.

Soon the urgent sound of the horn sounded in the village, and all the soldiers of the engineering battalion immediately put down everything in their hands, put on all their equipment and gathered towards the open space in the center of the village. They arrived in just 5 minutes.

Liu Yuanxun stood in front of the village and shouted: "Brothers, there was an earthquake not far away. We must rush there for rescue as soon as possible. The quartermaster immediately settled the housing and food expenses with the people. Everyone is ready for everything. We We must go to the earthquake area for rescue at the speed of marching. Remember that you are the people's army, and you must truly love the people. Now there are many people in the earthquake area waiting for us to rescue. Every minute is precious, so we must use the most Arrive there quickly. Everyone took all precautions according to the regulations, beware of aftershocks, and set off at a rapid marching speed in half an hour."

Liu Yuanxun assigned a task, and soon set off with the brigade.Hearing that the soldiers were going to rescue the disaster area, the common people were very surprised. Some young people even volunteered to lead them on the way. Soon this team of more than 500 people set foot on the road to Suilai County.

It has been a whole day since the earthquake, and it is getting late at this time, but Suilai County is still full of mourners, not only here, but all the places within twenty miles around are like this, even Dihua Mansion has been severely affected. small loss.

Chapter 66 Disaster Relief

The sun has gradually set, but the land of Turpan is silent. The victims who lost their houses and lack of food are waiting for food. Many people are still buried under the adobe houses and have not been rescued.Some young people who still have strength are digging around the ruins with their hands, hoping to rescue their surviving relatives. At this time, it is impossible for the court to provide any rescue, and they can only rely on themselves.

Just as the groaning victims fell asleep, a long fire dragon lit up in the distance.The fire dragon was hundreds of meters long, and it moved rapidly, approaching Suilai County.The fire dragon gradually approached, and the victims were surprised to find that the fire dragon turned out to be a group of people holding torches.

Approaching the edge of the county seat, the soldiers finally saw clearly the completely collapsed city wall and the lifeless victims leaning against the mound.Liu Yuanxun gave an order, and all the soldiers rushed into the city immediately.This is the center of the earthquake and the most severe disaster area, and the arrival of these soldiers has rekindled the hope in the hearts of the victims.

"Which army are you from?" Seeing that the other party was wearing the military uniform of the Houjin Yongying, several middle-aged disaster victims approached curiously and asked.

A military officer greeted him with a smile and said, "My fellow, we are Lian Yong under Master Zhao's command in Ankang Daotai, Zhongchuan Province. We happened to encounter an earthquake while performing missions nearby, so we came to rescue." The officer looked around. The victims said: "Do you have anyone in charge here? We need your help. These victims need to gather as soon as possible to distribute food to bandage their wounds, and those who are buried need to be rescued as soon as possible."

"Yes, there is someone in charge, and that is Lord Magistrate." The middle-aged man pointed to the old man next to the mound and said.Hearing that the other party was coming for rescue, Zhixian rushed to join him.After learning about the situation, he immediately organized the young and strong to help transfer the old and the young, and the medical team following the engineer battalion began to treat the injured people. Some soldiers were responsible for distributing food, and the victims finally got a little angry.

More soldiers were not idle. They took off their engineering shovels and dug towards those mounds.Since most of the houses here are made of adobe, as long as the people are not hit by wooden beams, most of them will not be fatally injured. The only way for them to die is to be suffocated.

Soldiers knew that time is life, so they endured the fatigue after the hasty march, gritted their teeth and dug among the ruins, and rescued the victims one by one from the dangerous situation.The actions of the soldiers quickly infected the young and strong, and the victims also consciously came to help. They used all the tools they could find, and even relied on their hands to dig with the soldiers.The entire city of Suilai came back to life, and everyone who could move started a self-rescue operation.

The first company of the engineering battalion quickly set up a large number of tents in the open space outside the city, and settled the old, weak and wounded in them.They put torches on the ground for lighting, and then raised their arms to carry out excavation work. The whole county seemed to be a large construction site.

Facing the danger of constant aftershocks, the soldiers worked hard to dig, and the rescue work was going on all the time. Those soldiers who were extremely tired just lay down on the ground for a while, ate a few mouthfuls of food or drank a few mouthfuls of water, and then joined the rescue work. During excavation work.

With the expansion of the rescue work, more and more people were rescued, and the tents used for medical treatment were quickly filled with the wounded and sick. Those medical workers also worked all night to perform operations and bandage the wounds of the wounded.Many doctors are so tired that they just lean against the operating table to rest for a while, or drink a bag of glucose to replenish their strength and continue working.Since Zhao Shouhong asked them to bring a large amount of medicine produced by the space hospital in advance, all the wounded were properly placed.

The excavation work continued for three days, and on the last day, volunteers from the surrounding areas also joined the excavation ranks, which greatly accelerated the work speed, and soon the entire county was completely excavated. Then the engineer battalion began to search the surrounding villages and towns to help the local victims with rescue work.

Liu Yuanxun led the team to work for a whole week. During this week, he slept no more than ten hours. At this time, his eyes were red and tired, but the results of the disaster relief were huge.It was the first time for those victims and volunteers to see an army that loved the people so much. The engineer battalion even killed more than a dozen officers and soldiers because of continuous work. Such a huge sacrifice moved everyone.

The medical team was also not idle. They relied on superb surgical skills and sufficient medicines to survive countless people, and with the help of the follow-up medical team, they controlled the emergence of the post-disaster epidemic. Later, the local people called these doctors living bodhisattvas.

Soon the name of Zhao Shouhong and his engineer battalion of the Yonglian Independent Regiment spread throughout the surrounding areas. Since the earthquake-stricken area is very close to Dihua Mansion, with this central city in northern Xinjiang, these news spread quickly. Spread throughout northern Xinjiang.A good official who loves the people like a son, and a well-disciplined army who loves the people, this reputation has given Zhao Shouhong great benefits, and because of this, he has taken advantage of a lot in the battles in northern Xinjiang.

Little did he know that a temporary action of his had caused such a big repercussions. At this time, Zhao Shouhong had already boarded the train bound for Beijing.In order to prepare gifts, Zhao Shouhong spent a long time in Zhongchuan. With a large amount of gifts, he took a horse-drawn carriage from Shudu to Chongshan City, and then went down the river until Hanxia landed. It took him almost a month.The road ahead will be easier. Zhao Shouhong will arrive at the Imperial City in a few days along the newly opened Emperor-Han Railway.

Along the way, Zhao Shouhong sat in a specially chartered train carriage, but his heart was not quiet. This railway was the first long-distance railway in Hualan Kingdom. There were [-] bridges with a span of more than [-] meters, and most of the rails were made of steel. It is a product of Xiakou Iron Works.

However, because the Belgians cut corners and materials, the types of bridges were complex and the load levels were different. For example, the Honghe Bridge with a total length of [-] kilometers, because the foundation piles were not deep enough, the bridge foundation was unstable, and a large number of stones had to be thrown to reinforce the bridge piers every flood season.Even so, when the train passes the bridge, it can only travel slowly at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

This stop-and-go really annoys Zhao Shouhong, but even so, the tofu railway project is still the fastest means of transportation in the world today, so Zhao Shouhong also started to think about trains.Zhongchuan is mountainous, and transportation has always been a heart problem for Zhao Shouhong, even if a cement road is built, so most of the products produced by the various factories on Ankang Road are digested internally.

Chapter 67 Invitation by Zhang Xiaoda

With the inability to transport to the outside world, and how to develop the industry, solving the transportation problem is already a top priority, and the railway is the most reliable solution at the moment.The idea of ​​the Sichuan-Han Railway began to come up in his mind. In addition, he decided to go to Beijing this time to recruit talents, build more railways in his jurisdiction, and use the Yangtze River Shipping.

"My lord, someone is looking for you." Wang Lingji, who was the commander of the security company on his trip to Beijing this time, came over and said.

"What?" Zhao Shouhong, whose train of thought was interrupted, raised his head in a daze, looked at Wang Lingji and said, "Who is it?"

"I don't know. It is said that it is a big man, and it is only his attendant who came to contact him. This big man has already arrived outside the carriage and wants to see you." Wang Lingji shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

"Please come in quickly." Now that he is just a small Taoist priest, Zhao Shouhong doesn't have any capital for arrogance, and any big person who has trouble with him may bring him bad luck.

Soon the carriage door opened, and a few guards with waist knives came in first, and a figure flashed, followed by a thin old man in a mandarin jacket and long gown into the carriage.He looked around with piercing eyes, and soon locked his target on Zhao Shouhong, the only one who was not wearing a military uniform.

Seeing this old man, Zhao Shouhong was shocked all over his body, and immediately stepped forward to salute: "Unexpectedly, it is Mr. Xiangshuai, please sit inside." Although he has never seen this old man, Zhao Shouhong has seen it in history books In his photo, Zhang Xiaoda, the famous governor of Huguang, is him.

Zhang Xiaoda, nicknamed Xiangtao, was called "handsome" because he served as the governor of Guangdong, Guangxi and Huguang, so everyone called him "Zhang Xiangshuai".A famous official in the late Jin Dynasty and a representative of the Westernization School in the late Jin Dynasty.Born in Xingyi Prefecture, Guizhou, his ancestral home is Nanpi, Cangzhou, Zhili Province, so many people also call him Zhang Nanpi.

Zhang Xiaoda was born in the second year of Xianxing. He was 16 years old in Zhongshun Tianfu Jieyuan, and in the second year of Guning. Governor, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Governor of Liangyuan, Acting Governor of Liangjiang, Minister of Military Aircraft, etc., from official to Tirenge University Bachelor.

As a famous official in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xiaoda banned smoking, fought against the French army, set up foreign affairs and established the Xiakou Iron Works and Arsenal. At the same time, he strongly supported the reform and promoted the constitutional movement with Yuan Wei.This old man's upright and patriotic style also made Zhao Shouhong respect him a lot.

Seeing Zhao Shouhong's enthusiasm, Zhang Xiaoda said with a smile: "Your grandfather and I are close friends, so you don't have to be so polite, it's better to talk about family background."

Zhao Shouhong couldn't help but smile, it's really unlucky for him to take over this role, the officials he met were two generations older than him, this is great, he has another great uncle.

"Yes, Lord Shizuzu, please come in." Zhao Shouhong naturally obeyed.

Zhang Xiaoda shook his head with a smile and said: "The nephew and grandson are really simple, and they only use ordinary train carriages to travel such a long distance. I think it's better to go to my place. The carriage that you chartered is connected to my float."

"It's better to be respectful than obedient." Zhao Shouhong had long been hurt by the wooden chairs on the train without any shock absorption, so he naturally wanted to find a comfortable place to sit.

The float was connected to this carriage, Zhao Shouhong didn't even bring any guards, and followed Zhang Xiaoda directly into the float.This carriage belongs to Zhang Xiaoda's special train, although it looks the same as an ordinary carriage on the outside, there is a universe inside.

There are many decorations hanging on the luxurious wooden walls, the beautiful gauze curtains are covered with lace, the crystal chandeliers on the top are bright and bright, and the floor is covered with thick cashmere carpets, which are extremely soft to step on. Zhang Xiaoda’s floats are not luxurious .Walking into it, the soft leather seats and the mahogany table case show a luxurious but not vulgar side.

Zhang Xiaoda smiled and waved his hands and said, "Please sit down, nephew and grandson. Speaking of you, it's the first time I've met you, but I feel quite congenial with you."

"Thank you for your love, Uncle Shi. I also feel that Uncle Shi is very kind when I see him. I would also like to thank Uncle Shi for selling me the batch of weapons, which solved my urgent need." Zhao Shouhong replied with a smile.

"It's not worth mentioning. Don't you also pay in cash? It's quite rare for my arsenal to receive such a large business. You also helped me solve the financial problem." Zhang Xiaoda stroked his bushy beard with a smile and said.

"Do you know the Zhangde Autumn Exercise a few months ago?" Zhang Xiaoda suddenly changed the subject.

"Of course I know. I heard that it is the self-strengthening army of the great uncle, who conducted exercises with Master Yuan's Northern New Army, and the result was a tie." Zhao Shouhong deliberately said that the Northern New Army's slight advantage was a tie, lest Zhang Xiaoda Awkward.

However, Zhang Xiaoda shook his head and said, "Otherwise, Yuan Kai actually saved me face. The autumn exercise was supposed to last for ten days, but it ended in three days. If it really lasts for ten days, I think my self-improvement army will collapse Unexpectedly, Yuan Wei's new Northern Territory Army is so powerful, and Li Yuanhong, the most elite of our self-improvement army, is not an opponent."

"Your Excellency is too self-effacing. As far as I can see, the two sides are very unequal in terms of weapons. It is impossible to count who wins and loses." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand.

"Oh? I heard that you wiped out [-] Saar army with a hundred men. It can be said that you know how to fight. I don't know how you think about this autumn exercise?" Zhang Xiaoda became energetic after hearing this.Zhao Shouhong shook his head secretly. No wonder the old man was looking for him so enthusiastically. It turned out that Qiu Cao lost face and wanted to find out the reason.It just so happened that his deeds of beating the Saar had just been revealed, so he naturally wanted to ask for advice.

Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "As far as I know, the number of artillery and machine guns of the New Army in the Northern Territory is more than that of the Self-improvement Army, and the rifles alone are very unequal."

"I would like to hear the details." Zhang Xiaoda said with a smile.

Zhao Shouhong said: "Master Yuan Kai's new army uses a new Austrian Mannlicher rifle. This gun uses a straight-pull bolt action. The whole gun has a simple structure, light weight, and is easy to use. It is the first-class rifle in all countries. Firearms. The rifles used by Master Shizuzu’s self-improvement army are self-made Xiakou rifles. This kind of gun is a patchwork of several gun factories in the Teutonic country. It is an emergency product. The Liang Teuton merchants sold it to Hualan under the name of Mauser, but it was not produced by Mauser. This kind of gun is easy to explode when the chamber pressure is too high, and the neck of the cartridge case is easy to break when the shell is extracted. The power of the rifle is also small, and the most important defect is that its barrel is only 400 mm, so the bullets of this rifle have no power at [-] meters. On the contrary, the barrel of the Mannlicher rifle is as long as [-] mm, and the bullets can reach a distance of [-] meters. It's still destructive."
