Chapter 12 Leave ()

"In this way, the guy has made up his mind to leave?"

Mr. Fang looked at Li Han who was sorting out his equipment with some disappointment, and his regret was undoubtedly revealed. "Well, I have long seen that the guy is a person like a dragon and phoenix. Letting you stay in our Zhifang Town has delayed your future, alas..."

"Haha, old man, don't say that, don't say that. I'll see that all the servants brought by the eldest son of the Lu family are trained and are three points stronger than the patrol of ordinary state prefectures. Especially, his full equipment is equipped with the Russian water-continuous bead rifle (1891 Mosin-Nagan rifle). In addition to the slight lack of practical experience, his quality is not comparable to that of the horse thieves in the Yizhuang Village. With him on the scene, I believe that this Yizhuang Village will be much more restrained in the future!"

Of course, Li Han didn't say all the words, that is, the servants who had never seen blood were not on the same level as the horse thief who killed people. Even if they were better equipped, they would really have to start a head-on conflict. Not to mention the horse thief boarding the horse and charging forward. What kind of servants in Lujiazhuang who only had two light machine guns can be matched? To be honest, it depends on Lu Junhao's command ability!

"If you have never drunk foreign ink or graduated from the Army Academy in this era, it is almost impossible! I think Lu Junhao's command ability should not be very poor!"

He was a little uncertain, but, in his mind, the arrogant young master of the Lu family should have some skills, so he had already made up his mind to leave!

He held five newly seized Russian Mosin-Nagan rifles in his hand and checked them one by one, and then placed hundreds of bullets neatly in his bag. Among all the seized guys, he only had these five Mosin-Nagan rifles and the Browning m1911 pistol for backup. There were still many bullets left to the villagers. In this way, even if there were horse thieves attacking, as long as there were not dozens of nearly a hundred people, the villagers would have the ability to protect themselves! This was also the reason why he was worried that the Lu family's servants were still ready to leave.

After doing this, Li Han looked up and saw that the trace of sorrow on Mr. Fang's face had not disappeared. After frowned and thought for a while, he understood what the old man who had made the arrogant Lu Junhao look a little calm and cautious. Seeing that they seemed to be very familiar with each other's conversation, he could not have no idea about the other party's personality. So he said it over. It was because he knew the other party's temperament too much that he was afraid that Lu Junhao would fall into Kui Sheng's trick. If Lujiazhuang loses him again, he would undoubtedly become an uncrowned king on this Jiangxia realm. At that time, he would definitely be inseparable from a small village like their Lou Village that protected the Lu family.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fang, Li is not a dishonest person. I will go to his charity village to inquire later. Even if their Lujiazhuang doesn't go against Kuisheng, I will touch him in the dark and defeat him. I may not be as capable as the Lu family in dealing with the horse team with more than 100 people, but in the dark and in the chaos, I believe no one is better at killing a few people than me! My pistol technique is not in vain, and I have the means to make myself not affected by shooting in the dark!"

A trace of confidence flashed across his face, and Li Han said to the old man in a high voice that he and this Lou Village are destined to be destined to be the first village he came to travel through time, so he didn't want his memories to be destroyed by a group of horse thieves.

The old man was indeed influenced by him. He listened to his confident words, and had seen his marksmanship, nodded, and a smile flashed across his face.

"Forget it, my brother, do what he can! I almost forgot that after I got to work, I will go back to my hometown in Chongqing. I have a deep friendship with Duan Zongxiu, the current magistrate of Ba County, in my early years. In addition, he and the current magistrate of Chongqing Prefecture are friends for eight years. You can bring my personal letter to him. At this time, the court is the season for people to use. I have already helped you to protect the position of Chongqing patrol and supervisor in the letter. Even if I can't do it with you, I will be allowed to have a job! There are two calligraphy and paintings that I have treasured for many years. The Chongqing Prefecture Tai Niu Boyuan is a gentleman, and he is a classical painting of landscapes and famous copybooks. If you bring them with you, you will surely guarantee you to achieve success!"

Sighing deeply, Mr. Fang lifted a wooden board from a hidden place in the corner of the wall, took out two soft-scented brocade calligraphy and paintings wrapped in a cave under the board, and stuffed them into his hand. Seeing Li Han was stunned, he seemed to want to refuse, the old man hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, you have seen it too. I am a terrible old man now, so what's the use of these things? Not to mention that you saved my miserable grandson, even if you only look at your chivalrous courage, I will also protect your future. Take it... Take it, that Niu Boyuan and I have never had before.

I have met, so I can't talk about any friendship. Besides, he and Lord Zhao are not in the same relationship. Without these two calligraphy and paintings, it will be difficult to open up his path. Even if my friends and friends walk with you, they can only find a rare path, but it will delay your future in vain. So, take it and take it... Remember not to contradict the two adults, and your braids are also a difficult task. I have a fake braid here that I just asked for from the village master. If you enter the city, be sure to put on a fake braid, otherwise it will cause the two of you to dislike... Go... Go..."

It can be seen that the old man is indeed for his own good. All the things inside are clearly understood with him. The appreciation and regret in his words are fully expressed, and he obviously attaches great importance to him!

"...Li Li appreciated the good intentions of the old man, but although Li Han was going to return to his hometown in Chongqing, he didn't plan to become an official, but he still wanted to thank the old man for his good intentions..."

He was really moved in his heart. Li Han did not expect that the old man remembered his kindness just by making a small effort and kept thinking about repaying him. However, he could only appreciate this kindness. The Qing Dynasty was about to fall, and what was the use of asking him to be the Qing court? However, Li Han did not lie. His ancestral home was Chongqing, Sichuan. When he was studying, when his teacher told the modern history of the country and the world that year, he also asked his major father who worked in a certain army academy to help him develop a set of internal references to the modern history of Sichuan, and his modern Sichuan development, especially the military and power before and after the Xinhai Revolution.

After more than half an hour of memories, he finally determined the way he was going, that is, if he wanted to accomplish something, he would take Sichuan. After searching all the memories of the period of the late Qing Dynasty Revolution in his mind, he found that there were only two provinces that were most likely to allow a person with weak foundation to successfully master before and after the Xinhai Revolution - Xinjiang and Sichuan. Other places were either the traditional sphere of influence of the imperial court and Beiyang, or the provinces where the southern revolutionaries were mixed together.

Look at the great hero of the Wuchang Uprising like Xiong Bingkun. During the uprising, he became a general who led the army alone. However, after the war, he was just given the title of commander of the Fifth Association. After half a year, he became a major general brigade commander of the Fifth Brigade. However, he was completely excluded from the Wuhan military government. On the contrary, the surrender elements such as Li Yuanhong completely controlled the power of Hubei, and were even worse than some so-called revolutionary heroes of the other Tongmenghui who had not done much.

If he is still like this, let alone he won a province in the upcoming revolutionary wave that swept across the country to form a force that will seize the country in the future, even if he gets it, he will have to face the counterattack of the old nobles of the Qing Dynasty in the province and the constraints of the southern revolutionaries. He also needs to face the hostility and covetness of the surrounding forces. He will not only be exhausted, but also be constrained by various forces. If he is not careful, he may not only lose his life, but also lose the hope of the province and the rise of the new China that he has finally won. Therefore, he needs to be careful!

After thinking about it, only Xinjiang and Sichuan are the requirements of his rapid occupation and transforming it into a base! Let’s talk about Xinjiang first. Xinjiang is located on the national border. Not only does it seem to have mineral resources, but it also has a vast area. However, because it is too far from the Central Plains, whether it is the Beiyang, which is about to conspire to replace the Qing court, or the Southern Society, the strength here is obviously insufficient. In addition, although Xinjiang is almost one-fifth of the total area of ​​the country, the new army has only 35th association. If the Dihua uprising in history was not due to the traitors in the revolutionary party, some progressive officers in the new army who were inclined to revolution were captured in advance by the then Xinjiang governor Yuan Dahua, perhaps the provisional government members formed in Nanjing in early 1912 would have had another province!

However, although Xinjiang has obvious advantages over Sichuan he chose, it also has many shortcomings. For example, the vast land, sparse population, and the labor force is seriously insufficient, and the ethnic component is mostly eyeing it. In addition, it is easy to win, but it is difficult to truly build it into an industrial base. Without a strong military industrial base, it will be difficult for him to try his best to end the separatist and chaos before World War I according to his plan, and strive to seek a piece of cake from the huge profits of up to 30-35 billion US dollars generated by that World War I as much as possible. Only by truly taking advantage of the east wind of the World War can the country be initially completed and become one of the world's industrial countries.

Compared with Xinjiang, although Sichuan is not as easy as Xinjiang, it is also his best choice. First, he was a Sichuan native before traveling through time, and now he can vaguely remember the Sichuan forces before and after the Xinhai Revolution. Second, Sichuan did not have military strength at this time. When the Qing Dynasty was training the new army in the late Qing Dynasty, Sichuan obtained the quota of three towns in 16.17.18, but it went to the court.

When it was destroyed, the new army was only the 17th town, and it was stationed in Kangding and Lhasa all year round because the British coveted Tibet. It can be said that the province had almost no troops except for the large number of patrol battalions and patrol battalions (old Qing army camps, Eight Banners Green Camp) that had almost no troops. This is why, in the historical September road protection movement, the Qing court had to transfer troops from Hubei, Shaanxi and Gansu in the neighboring provinces to Sichuan to suppress patriotic revolutionaries.

What's more, although Sichuan's industrial strength was inferior to the southeast coast at this time, the Zhao Erfeng brothers who left a lot of infamous in history and the previous governors worked hard for many years, which could be considered as laying some weak industrial foundations. They could barely be among the top ten industrial provinces in the country. Eastern Sichuan has convenient railways and water transportation advantages, and the foundation of northern Sichuan railways is also very good. Especially its abundant human resources, as the largest population province in the late Qing Dynasty, nearly 50 million Sichuan labor force and the unique geographical location of Sichuan Tianfu Country are enough for him to complete the industrial transformation within two or three years!

However, Sichuan's disadvantages are also very obvious. The terrain in the province is mostly steep, the ethnic composition is complex, and almost 70% of the people are involved in the power of Pao Ge. Although once he has mastered Sichuan, it will be great benefits, but these disadvantages will inevitably become a constraint on development in a few years. However, he will eventually return to Sichuan, but in what capacity he has to go back and how to go back, he already vaguely had some ideas in his mind. What is left is preparation... He didn't pick up the old man's brocade box at all. Old Master Fang originally wanted to see his mouth, but when he saw his expression firm, his eyes unconsciously swept over his hair on his head, and his face darkened and stopped talking!

He said goodbye to him and did not disturb the eldest son of the Lu family who was asking about the situation at the village chief's house. After Li Han brought his things into the car, he quietly drove out of the village without disturbing his granddaughter in the reluctant eyes of Mr. Fang and his granddaughter... The target was the southeast direction of Zhifang Town!
