Seeing that Guiren Qin was cold to him, Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Go down.--./--./." He knew that Guiren Qin must have felt that he was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she would let her do whatever she thought.

Although Ye Zhao felt that Qin Guiren was whipped, he did not stop it. In fact, in the imperial law, there was also a whip to punish certain criminal acts. Ye Zhao did not think that corporal punishment for prisoners was a manifestation of barbarism. It was imported from Western thought. In fact, ** freedom of injury and imprisonment were essentially punishment for prisoners. The empire had a large population and had just entered a civilized society. It had its own continuation process. Moreover, for some prisoners, perhaps direct physical pain, he could be punished more. Of course, whip was the punishment after court trial, and prisoners during the interrogation must enjoy civil rights.

I heard that Guiren Qin was beaten to death while being beaten, but after a few days of raising her, she gritted her teeth and went to the laundry room. I really don’t know whether she is tough or confused, but I think she hates herself more and more.

Looking at the pretty back of Concubine Qin, Ye Zhao shook his head. At this time, Baozhu hurried in and reported that Baoshuai had arrived.

Zhao Sanbao is now the second deputy commander of the Military Commission and the number one figure in the military. Because of his close relationship with Ye Zhao, the close servants around Ye Zhao affectionately called him "Bao Shuai" or "Bao Shuai Ye".

Zhao Sanbao is not old, just in his early fifties, but his temples are gray. He can be regarded as learning until he is old. There are hundreds of books on Eastern and Western tactical thoughts in his study. He has read almost all of them. He has also participated in correspondence classes at some courses at Imperial University. Compared with Sanbao, who led the army to fight in Xichuan, he is no longer the same as Wuxia Ameng in the past.

After Zhao Sanbao came, Ye Zhao waved his hand to order Yan Fu and other civil servants to retreat, and reached out to take a stack of letters presented by Zhao Sanbao to read.

In the written letter, the list of ships purchased by the Empire's navy in recent years and detailed performance. In recent years, the Imperial Navy's military expenditure has increased significantly. This year's naval military budget is 430 million yuan, and the British Navy's military expenditure in the same year was 16 million pounds. The two are almost the same, and these are public figures approved by the House of Representatives of the two countries. In fact, the Empire still has special subsidies to the Navy and is not included.

The letter also lists the comparison of China and the British naval strength.

To date, the total tonnage of 359 British Navy combined armored ships and non-armored ships has a total of 1.07 million tons, and the total tonnage of 413 Imperial Navy combined armored ships and non-armored ships has a total of more than 860,000 tons. Because the Imperial coastline is long, there are more offshore surveillance ships with smaller tonnages.

The newly built ships, from 1870 to the present ten years, have built 17 warships, 65 cruisers, 28 gunboats, 76 destroyers, and 10 torpedo ships.

In the last five years of the empire, the total tonnage of warships was in an explosion. Overall, the growth rate of naval gross tonnage in the ten years was slightly higher than that of the British. It was full of momentum. A large number of orders flocked to major shipyards.

During the past decade, the total tonnage of the British Navy has always been greater than or equivalent to the sum of the tonnage of any two European countries or even the three countries. However, this advantage is now severely challenged from the East.

During this period, many new technologies of the world's navy, such as armor protection, torpedoes, destroyers, etc. were not the firsts of Britain, but the British navy was able to actively absorb and quickly make it reach a practical level to form combat effectiveness. Of course, for the future high-end and advanced technologies, these are basic naval technologies. If a country appears, it will be easy for other countries to learn from and develop. Not only the navy, but also the army rifle technology, etc., often after other countries invent it, imitations will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and even become famous.

Ye Zhao looked through Wen Han and nodded slightly. Although the total tonnage of the Imperial Navy was less than that of the British, if the war started now, the new warships that determined the situation in the past ten years must be the new warships. In terms of the quality of this type of ship, the British may still lose a little.

Moreover, Ye Zhao put down the letter of writing and asked, "How is the Zhenhai number?"

The Old Zhenhai has long been retired and has become a junior coaching ship in the Naval Academy. The New Zhenhai, which was just completed earlier this month, is the latest warship of the Empire and the first type of warship with a complete radio system when designed. This also solves the problem of the fleet's contact with the command organization very well, allowing the senior naval leaders to command and dispatch thousands of miles away.

The application of radio in fleets is almost of epoch-making significance for naval warfare. Zhao Sanbao also knows this very well. Today, the technical transformation of ships with the Imperial cruiser level or above can be installed in radio systems has long been completed.

"It's still under test." Zhao Sanbao is also very excited about the Zhenhai.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, thought for a while and said, "Afghanistan should fight quickly and beware of the British."

"Yes." Zhao Sanbao lowered his hands to take the order.

...

The muddy roads are full of yellow sand mounds of all sizes. If it weren't for the rain just now, I'd be afraid that the wind would bring the dust all over the sky.

Lu Dezhong and his team had more than 30 people walking through this barren land.

Lu Dezhong was Zhang Xun's subordinate, and Zhang Xun's troops were incorporated into the Royal Army's Pamir Border Defense Third Division after the outbreak of the Sino-Arab War. After the Third Division entered Afghanistan, the main task of the Third Division was to maintain the stability of the big cities, eliminate enemy chiefs, protect the unobstructed supply lines, and help the Afghan king rebuild local governments and public security forces.

Zhang Xun's troops are stationed in Bagland. In fact, except for Kabul and Kandahar, the Afghanistan State has more than a dozen so-called big cities, with a population of only tens of thousands. Bagland has only more than tens of thousands of people, which is not as good as the third-rate towns in the Central Plains.

Now the Emperor's team has occupied all the "big cities" in the north of Kandahar, and each town has a small number of troops, such as Bagland, stationed Zhang Xun's infantry battalion.

Lu Dezhong was the second row of Zhang Xun's reconnaissance post. He was in his early twenties and had just graduated from the Imperial Lanzhou Military Academy. Now there are dozens of military academies of various types in the Imperial Empire. Graduates from primary military academies can only serve as chiefs of one row, which is no longer the same as when the Empire was just established.

Half an hour ago, Zhang Xun received a secret report from Afghans that the British were hiding in a village in southern Bagland. He was the arrested fish who escaped after the Battle of Bagland. It is said that his official position is quite large and a military adviser to the Afghan Islamic National Army.

After hearing this, Zhang Xun immediately felt that the goods were very resident, so he sent his capable reconnaissance company to search for people. According to the Afghan informant, a tribal chief in the southern part of Bagland, Abdul, the current deputy governor of Bagland Province, the British were wandering south. The place where they hid was uncertain. Lu Dezhong and others acted separately and searched for villages that the British might be hiding in rows.

Lu Dezhong knew the significance of this operation and had always known that the British might be helping the coups train the Afghan Islamic Army. But he never heard that the British military advisers were directly involved in the Sino-Arab War. If the British could be caught, it would give the empire the advantage in the diplomatic confrontation with Britain.

"Platform leader. There is an Afghan, who claims to be Bagland Vice Governor Abu, or something..." Xiao Mao, who ran back from the yellow sand dune in front, was panting. After saying that, he laughed and said, "But doesn't look like a governor? The Afghan bearded interpreter insisted on saying yes, isn't he lying to us?"

Lu Dezhong glared at Xiaomao and said, "Please respect! People don't understand what we say, but they can see our contempt. Go quickly and invite him..." He paused and said, "I'll go there." He had seen this Mr. Abdul, and also knew that the resources under the governor of Afghanistan were not as good as those of the county magistrate of the Central Plains, let alone just a tribal chief who was a nominal vice governor. Moreover, if the local custom of this chief was in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, he naturally felt that he was wearing tattered clothes without any concealment.

Xiaomao stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say anything. She followed Lu Dezhong and scratched her head, but she really felt that the governor of Fanbian was too cold.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the yellow sand seemed to be able to see the foggy water vapor, which was extremely hot.

Under a dead tree beside a yellow sand mound, Abdul, wearing an Arab robe and long legs and his followers were looking at the direction where Lu Dezhong came, next to him was the translator of Lu Dezhong's belt, and there was also a scout under Lu Dezhong. Although he did not point his gun at these Afghans, he also watched their every move with caution.

Seeing Lu Dezhong's figure, Abdul quickly came up and shook hands with Lu Dezhong intimately. Obviously, he learned the etiquette of the Central Plains. He smiled and said a few words. The translation was translated: "Captain Lu, Allah's blessing, I am very happy to see you."

Lu Dezhong smiled and said, "Vice Governor Abu, I am also very happy to see you. You have always been a friend of our Chinese. Please forgive my subordinates for their unreasonableness. You know, the rebels often disguised as civilians to launch attacks on us, so there is such a misunderstanding." Headed by Zhang Xun, they all call Abdul Governor Abu. As for how to translate the translation, I don't know. Anyway, it seems that Abdul likes the new name Chinese people call him very much.

"I have good news to tell Chief Lu that in Mojiti Village, my people caught that British man." Abdul smiled happily. He had always been incompatible with the rebel tribes that supported the coup, and had long been in contact with the Chinese in the Pamir Mountains. Now that the Chinese are coming and the king is restored, his tribe will definitely take the opportunity to grow and grow, the premise is that he must concentrate on doing things for the Chinese and win the favor of the Chinese.

Abdul said again, "They are on the other side of the mountain." He pointed to a hill like a bottle at the south side, and said, "I will ask people to inform them and bring them."

Lu Dezhong nodded slightly and said, "Thank you so much for Governor Abu. Please come with me to Bagland. Guerrillas often say that they miss you very much."

Abdul listened to the translation and smiled even more, and he bowed slightly when he stroked his chest.

After Abdul's men left, Lu Dezhong's reconnaissance lined up behind various nearby loess mounds, and there were scouts going forward to pick him up. It seemed casual, but in fact he was ready for battle. Although this Governor Abu was an Afghan friend, his heart was separated from his belly. Who said that he would not become a person? He must always be prepared to deal with emergencies.

Lu Dezhong looked at the pocket watch. One hour and fourteen minutes later, a group of people came in front of him. The scouts had already come back to deliver the letter, and a white man with blue eyes was indeed tied up.

After the group approached, scouts came forward and took the hooked-nosed middle-aged European from the Afghans and pushed it to Lu Dezhong.

"Are you a military adviser to the Afghan rebels? What's your name?" Lu Dezhong looked at the rebellious white man in front of him and suddenly asked in English that he had to learn a foreign language when he was in a military academy, mainly English, German and French. Lu Dezhong chose English. Although his stuttering tone was very strange, it was obvious that the other party understood it.

The rebellious white man was looking at these Chinese people. When he heard Lu Dezhong's question, he said in surprise: "Are you Chinese?" From his appearance, he could still tell the difference between Chinese and Afghans.

Lu Dezhong nodded slightly and said, "Yes." After making a gesture, some soldiers loosened the white man.

The arrogance on the white man's face gradually disappeared. He rubbed his numb arms and said, "You are indeed Chinese, Chinese soldiers." When he said this, his face twitched. On that rainy night, the Chinese team's overwhelming offensive was so terrible. The sound of charge horns almost deafened his ears and destroyed his spirit. Looking back later, if the Chinese army was not Afghans, if it were the British regular army he served, the trembling red regiment that made Europe tremble, could the Chinese people resist the charge that seemed to be endless?

He couldn't think of the answer, or he didn't want to know the answer. He only knew that the Chinese Army was the most terrifying enemy he had encountered in his life.

How could he be arrogant in front of such an army? He stretched out his hand to Lu Dezhong and said, "Brown, Terry Brown."

Lu Dezhong shook hands with him and said, "Royal Chinese Army. Lu Dezhong."

Brown looked at Lu Dezhong's shiny military rank on his green uniform and epaulette. He served as the general counsel of the Afghan Islamic National Army for many years. He naturally had a certain understanding of the China National Team. The Central Officer in front of him had the lowest rank among the military officers, and should be the platoon leader or deputy platoon leader in the Chinese army system.

"Sir, what will you do with me?" Brown was calm now. He fell into the hands of the Chinese, and at least he would not execute him or abuse him.

Lu Dezhong smiled and said, "Mr. Brown, you should be an advisor to the Afghan rebels. I won't ask what position you have. You won't talk about it even if you ask. As for how to deal with you, it's not something I can decide, but according to the imperial laws and laws of war, as well as the relevant international conventions signed and the Southeast Convention, you will naturally be treated fairly."

Brown hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't hide it anyway, and said, "I am the general counsel of the Afghan Islamic National Army." His heart hangs again. Although he will not be abused by the Chinese, if this country that competes with the British is sentenced to a long-term imprisonment, he is afraid that neither the imperial government nor his friends will help him.

He sighed deeply in his heart, looked at the Chinese soldiers beside him, and stared at the abominable and despicable indigenous people. He couldn't blame them even though he thought about it. Britain was thousands of miles away, and its neighbors were so powerful that it was self-evident which side it was on.

(The following nagging words were added later, not counting the word count)

I will accompany my wife to do B-ultrasound tomorrow. After that, there will be a classmate who will be involved in the compensation for the incident. It will probably be a day off.

I also saw a post today and thought I should talk to you. The post is a cliché, which means that the second half is boring, and I often don’t see the protagonist, and the heroines are also making soy sauce.

I believe many friends will feel this way, just like the friends who posted it probably think that joining the army is pretentious and starting to play serious literature.

Actually, this is wrong. I have always said that online literature can write something that I want to write, but in essence it still makes people feel comfortable. Online literature is a kind of casual literature. The problem now is where the pleasure is. In fact, the later part of this book is about the rise of the empire, the growth, system, thought, diplomacy, military, the impact on the world, etc. In addition to the rebirth and the protagonist was a new star in the chemical industry before he was reborn, and tried his best to make real deductions. I think it would be a lot of fun if he could substitute the era described in the book. However, if he still looked at the protagonist from the perspective of urban literature, he might feel boring, just like the heroines, in the deep palace, since there will be no palace fighting and fighting for the throne, and the transcendent identity of the protagonist emperor, they can only show their faces occasionally. How can they find the sense of accomplishment of polygamy in the city? It is boring to write it in every day?

The excitement behind this book is actually all aspects of the empire. By the way, this post also said that I have listed too much historical information. In fact, I really tried to write less information. Because I didn’t like to write information, it has caused dissatisfaction among many comrades, but some necessary explanations should be obtained, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be even more impossible to let people stay in this era?

I said this just to hope that the dull comrades who feel that they can calm down and enter this era to read the article. It may be better to save more to read. If you really feel that it is not your own food, you don’t have to post that my level has dropped after ascending the throne or leaving the palace. It’s over immediately. It’s not interesting to post such posts in the book review area.

Finally, let’s talk about the end of the book. The book ends after the war that happened immediately. However, there is another chapter that describes the ten-year-old old monster Ye Zhao wandering around the world, just like a city. In fact, it is just an introduction to the changes in the empire and the world that entered the 20th century. In this way, I think it is a perfect curtain call.

By the way, there will be a little matchmaker after reincarnation in the outer chapter, Xiao Jinfeng. Of course, it will not be written as a fantasy. It is said that reincarnation is reincarnation, and that it is a newcomer can also be regarded as a newcomer. When talking about the concept of the outer chapter with Xiao, Xiao said that it was a cliché, haha, just vulgar. I said that Jinfeng has the following text. If you think that comrade Xuan can also skip the outer chapter.

Finally, I asked for the next monthly ticket list. I looked at the monthly ticket list. It was tenth in history. If I was not careful, I would make the list. I think the comrades who still look forward to the next part should vote for monthly tickets...
Chapter completed!
