The Ninth Field Brigade did not move, and the commander was replaced by Bagyalu. The Third Cavalry Brigade was transferred to the central Jinhua Mansion, and Wei Wuji personally took charge of it.

Ma Weiren, the commander of the Ninth Field Brigade, went to take over the No.18 Field Brigade and stationed in Hanyang Prefecture.

When you want to go one step further, the government has launched a three-level qualification certification. These people must be able to speak well and be able to count and write. These people are generally veterans or businessmen's buddies, old officials in the government, or have been famous for a long time Some of them are directly recruited by the government and given to a clerk. These clerks spend more than half of their time working in the government, and they are called the low-level clerks of the government.

They have no possibility of being promoted to government servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, even put forward some good suggestions, and develop good things. The government will sell their suggestions and research and development at a high price. This is the government's achievements. The civil servants above have to rely on them if they want to be promoted to higher-level section officials.

The fourth level is usually those who have read books and have profound attainments in the industry. They also have the heart of being an official. Members can be promoted to official positions, and can be promoted to positions such as clerks, document offices, book books, etc., which are equivalent to the assistants of township heads and town heads.

You Haibo’s Department of Officials, Zhang Huangyan’s Department of Household Affairs, Li Guangdi’s Department of Education and Administration, Xiao Dazhuang’s Department of Punishment, Qian Bingdeng’s Ministry of Rites, Zhang Mingzhen’s Ministry of Agriculture, Zhu Panpan’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Li Guo’s Ministry of War, Wan Siyuan’s Ministry of Industry, Zhang Liang’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of People’s Affairs Huang Tao, Wei Wuji of the Ministry of National Defense, Du Ge of the Supervision Department, and Milin of the Military Intelligence Department, all the departments are fully equipped.

Another: Director of Recruit Training, Tian Xian, Vice Minister of Military Intelligence Tian Bin

Members from all parties, Zhang Mingzhen from Zhejiang Province, Li Guangxiong from Fujian Province, Jinsheng from Guangxi Prefecture, Mi Chun from Jiangxi Prefecture, Tang Dianfeng from Huguangzhou Province, Gu Yuesheng from Hubei Province, Fang Yizhi from Henan Province, Qian Bingdeng from Yunnan and Guizhou Prefecture, Lin Chengcheng from Anhui Prefecture , Liu Liangzuo, Yunnan Prefecture, and Zhu Dayou, Governor of Baodao.

These people who can read books and study skills in various industries will eventually become deputy township heads, deputy mayors, or research officials. More senior officials can take the imperial examination and then enter a higher research institution.

This is Zhang Qiang cultivating talents for the few smart scientists in his hands.

We can’t always let Sebastian and Francois do research, they need helpers, and it’s too slow to rely on them to train some apprentices, which is not good for the technological development of the Huaxia Army, so Zhang Qiang has to find those folk talents from Huaxia Come out and send them to their research institute, let them learn while helping and inspiring the two of them, so as to speed up their development.

The new carriage was made under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.

At the same time, under the advice and promotion of a businessman or a treasurer-born researcher, he quickly entered the army and civilians of the Huaxia Army, and gained commercial and national interests.

Let the society promote its own development. Zhang Qiang is only a bystander and a guide. Otherwise, with his knowledge structure, insight, and historical knowledge, he will not be able to reach the level of other traversers in 100 years. years of development.

The first thousand and 160 chapters of the second construction camp

Due to the low ground of the wharf and dock, the water had just been pumped, and the whole body of the ship was buried in the dock, with only one mast exposed. There was a small courtyard of soldiers stationed at the dock next to it, and the mounds piled up by excavating the dock around it. The French did not see the dock. However, they saw the barracks on the flat ground clearly, and because the number of patrols was too small, they stayed there for half an hour, even if two cavalrymen of the patrol team galloped past them under the cliff, They were not found either.

So the whole camp didn't know they were being spied on.

Since a reinforced city wall was to be built and two fortresses were to be built to defend and guard against unknown enemies in the woods and the western plain, Li Ya took the team trained today to help, so the guards in the camp less.

Sa Lei was busy in the camp repair shop derusting and repainting the cannons that had been floating on the sea for several months, and also discussed with the sailors how to repair the steam engine. What he had in mind was to repair a charcoal distillation kiln. Use charcoal instead of coal to power the steam engine.

Wu Kejing was busy in the dock, leading people to continue pumping water, deepening the dock, and cleaning up the silt in the dock.

Another Russian who was singled out was an administrator and managed the logistics of the camp. He is now surveying the field with everyone. There is a small team of 75 people guarding the field. The prisoners are digging the field and leveling the land. , They have to reclaim enough land before summer, and then take advantage of spring to plant some crops.

The distribution of troops is that one team is responsible for guarding the camp, and at the same time is responsible for the overall defense of the camp, and one team is on vacation to rest. When the enemy comes, they are the main force, and they will work together with the camp's defensive team to resist the enemy's attack.

A training team, the training team is the same as the guard team, the defensive rest team, usually two days a round, and there is also a sailor team made up of two ships, about 60 people, of the 60 people, 20 people are dock guards, and 20 people rest , 20 people take turns guarding the ships and digging the dock, building the dock, and they also have some prisoners here to help them work, and their main responsibility is to guard.

There are also ten people who are Sarai's guards. Five people serve every day. Two people follow Sarai, one person follows Sarai all the time, and the other two serve as guards on the periphery. Five people will not leave Sarai's side for 30 meters , usually three people follow the daytime, and two people stand guard at night. The person who has been with him for a long time is the officer, the adjutant, and the third officer.

In this way, five people rest, and five people are protected for [-] hours, and they come in rotation.

This group of people here aimlessly builds, develops, and builds their own residences, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

The French found the island before the British, and then managed it. Later, the British occupied most of the area, and the French were forced to retreat to the southeast. Not far away, there was a town repaired by the French about dozens of miles away. There is also a well-built port. The French have been here for more than 100 years, and the British have been here for decades.

It's just that Li Ya and the others don't know.

In addition to three combat squads, a sailor squad, the mercenary regiment also has an artillery squad of up to 80 people, which is the gunner on the ship, and a squad of officers from the original Chinese Empire with up to 30 people, and up to 41 people. A lieutenant from the original picket team, a squadron leader from the public security team, a second lieutenant from the garrison, and a militia leader during the Huaxia Army period. Although the militia leader at that time may be a second lieutenant, But after all, he participated in the battle and was reorganized into the garrison. In the field army of the Huaxia Army, he was promoted to a major and participated in many battles. He is now over 50 years old. He is responsible for the defense and garrison of the camp. , his rank may reach the height of a colonel.

He is the only old military officer who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Ya in terms of military rank, but he has retired for many years, served as a member of the county council, and served as the militia captain of the county armed forces department. He rebelled and was thrown into a hard labor camp, but later he was forced to emigrate to Mongolia and raised horses for many years. After being released, he participated in railway construction, served as the cooking squad leader of the people, and organized a militia in Siberia. At that time, his position was promoted to The temporary lieutenant colonel of the militia regiment, married and had children shortly after returning from meritorious service, but he couldn't control his mouth and showed dissatisfaction with the Chinese Empire from time to time, so he was sent to Central Beria again, exiled for several years, and when he was cleaned up Because of his ideological record, the Ministry of Military Intelligence directly arrested him and sent him to the mercenary regiment.

One disadvantage of the Huaxia Empire is that it pays great attention to ideology. Even if you have been a bandit or a pirate, as long as you are a Han, as long as you are sincerely naturalized in China, then you will be treated as a Huaxia Han, but once you The Chinese Empire has always treated these people severely with ideological records.

Except for this old officer who is equivalent to the rank of colonel, the other officers are all captain officers who have made meritorious service or have been promoted through qualifications, and some are major officers. This is the officer of the two mercenary regiments. Surrenders from another mercenary regiment of 70 people included many officers. On the battlefield, officers have a higher awareness of escape than soldiers, and their preparations are better than soldiers. After all, many officers came from veterans. Soldiers in the Huaxia Empire generally depend on their abilities, and those who can rise steadily are not stupid, so there are more officers alive than soldiers, and more veterans alive than recruits.

And these officers are not only infantry, artillery, cavalry, sailors, and those who maintain law and order, the militia, the garrison, and the garrison. Some are even mechanics or sailors who have worked in naval shipyards. , Some senior talents who have attended military academies and Taixue.

In addition, there is also a cavalry squad of 30 people, 400 horses that survived the long sea journey, but it is impossible for the cavalry to have only such a small number of people, more than 30 combatants, except for some old, weak and disabled Soldiers, at least everyone can ride a horse. As long as the cavalry unit has horses, it may expand to more at any time. There are more than [-] wounded and sick.

In addition, there are some attached pirates and other captured personnel, about 100 people. It is impossible for these people to have normal treatment. They usually appear as supervisors of various logistics teams and guard teams. They are responsible for managing prisoners and doing odd jobs. , has a lot of constraints, and can't easily get close to important places, and is responsible for delivering some unimportant news, running errands, guarding some work sheds, and collecting things.

In other words, this mercenary regiment has more than 400 combatants, more than 100 servants, and more than 800 slave captives.

The first thousand and 160 four chapters always have to face

The night was like water, the sea was ebb and flow, suddenly a few black shadows rose and fell in the quiet camp, and the ups and downs were close to each other, and then there was a sound of cicadas, and several people disappeared in a corner.

Under the dim light, several people approached each other, and then sat down again, some stood, some looked at the window, and whispered to each other.

"How about it, haven't you determined where we are?" A voice asked eagerly.

Another voice that sounded familiar said: "I can't be sure, but I can guess that we must be in the West, but not necessarily in Europe, maybe in North America. This is my judgment."

"When can we go back, or when you decide to send someone back to report." A thick, short, stocky man asked in a rough voice.

"Old Liang, please keep your voice down, let the patrol team hear that we are all finished. I wonder if Li Tou dislikes betrayal the most? Although we are doing things for the Chinese Empire, you also know why the mercenary group is so miserable. It's not because of the Huaxia Empire. In order to complete the mission, many of our people died for no reason. We are lucky to be able to gather now. Others don't know if they can survive or not, whether they are with other exiled people The same, became the target of being wiped out."

"Yes, I felt it too. All the intelligence personnel sent to the mercenary army seem to be like insignificant people. There are some people who are not valued very much. Maybe this is my illusion, but that's how I am. Thinking about it." A lurking military intelligence agent from another mercenary group said.

"Maybe it's not aimed at us, it's aimed at those foreign monkeys and bears. I know that many Russian bears have also joined the Ministry of Military Intelligence. Maybe it needs to clean up some people of foreign nationalities who are mixed with fish and dragons." An intelligence officer of the garrison squatted with his head down. on the ground.

"No matter what, we have all been affected, or we have all been purged. I don't think it's fair. We should find a way to contact the higher authorities as soon as possible. It's best to send someone by boat to tell the country the route and location here. Let's see the domestic reaction." The short man said aggrievedly.

The man on the lookout whispered: "The patrol team is here, let's disperse quickly. If there are more than five people, if they are not organized privately, they will be considered to be out of order. We have seven more people now."

The familiar voice said: "That's it, we'll contact you when we have time, you two hurry back to the barracks through the back door, the three of you stay here first, the two of us go first, you follow up later. As for the report, Let’s wait for a while, one ship can’t start now, maybe we can wait until we defeat the French, and then send two people back to Turkey to make contact.”

After he finished speaking, he waited for a while, the back door opened with a creak, and the two figures disappeared into the alleyway behind. They could not walk more than ten meters. In the camp, where the sentry shouted, a few words came, and then the two disappeared into the camp guarding the prisoners.

I took a look at the patrol team. A patrol team of 12 people, carrying a gun and leading a snow wolf, walked on the stiff ground that was still ice slag and weeds. The two came out from the front door of the house and met each other. The patrol team called out a password, and the two answered the password skillfully, and then the officer of the patrol team said: "My lord,"

"Well, continue to patrol and stay vigilant. There may be enemies coming to attack recently, so we can't let the enemies get in." A familiar voice sounded.

"Yes, my lord," after answering, the patrol team walked towards the guard camp in neat steps. There were still more than ten meters away from the guard camp. The two sides answered each other's passwords, and then exchanged some information. go.

The three people in the house looked around, the short burly man looked outside, then stepped out through the back door, the remaining two cleaned up, and then left the house.

In the corner of the room sat a man smoking a cigarette.

Although it's almost summer, the cold spring air still makes people shiver. If you don't pay attention when you go out, you can hear violent sneezing.

Thirty miles away from the camp, in a harbor blocked by cliffs, promontories, and a reef in the sea, a small town appeared in the eyes of the scout cavalry. There were many residents in the town in the telescope, and the small town was built in French style. Town, wooden houses, but there is still a castle-like building standing on a hill not far from the port, with the French flag flying on the top of the castle.

The pier is a stone trestle and a stone embankment, and there is an extended wooden trestle in the distance. There are many small boats and small-tonnage ships moored there. On the pier, there are huge warships and sail warships moored on the stone trestle. From seven to eight hundred tons to more than 3000 tons, there are also two ironclad warships. The tonnage seems to be only about [-] tons. The round chimney is now emitting a trace of green smoke. It seems that the boiler has not started, at least it is only maintaining the firepower. If the boiler is started, at least there will be straight or puffs of black smoke.

"The port is very quiet. There seems to be no military action. The soldiers are patrolling casually, not looking like they are preparing for war."
