Zai Tian smiled when he saw this sister, put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "Have you made an appointment with Liu Shaoqing?"

Jianning pouted and said, "Brother Emperor said, if it weren't for the sake of the Emperor's face, this princess wouldn't have let that brat go today."

Don’t you know what his sister’s temper is? Zai Tian continued to ask while bringing out a plate of osmanthus cake, "Okay, okay, I know you have been wronged, but for the sake of our ancestors' foundation, I just treat it as a favor for my brother. Tell me quickly, how did I make an appointment?"

Jianning smiled sly and said, "I made an appointment with the little man today. On the ninth day of the ninth month, I will open the competition in western Beijing, and win two games in three games. If he wants to lose, he will kowtow to apologize and learn to bark. If I want to lose, the revenge will be eliminated. How about it?"

"Oh, it's scheduled for the ninth day of the ninth month, it's a good day. Then what are you comparing?"

This question made Jianning lower his head and said, "It's not decided yet."

"Hmm? Why haven't you decided yet?"

Jianning said: "It was the little man who said that the time and place were all set by me, so he had to book the competition items, and I agreed. As a result, the little man said that he would go to the Ministry of War for the exam, and he still didn't tell me what the competition was."

Zai Tian thought, isn’t this silly sister at a disadvantage? At least half a day of preparation time is missing. That’s right, you can’t turn your elbows out of your brother’s elbows. So Zai Tian said, “It’s okay, I’ll ask for you.”

As he said that, he called a eunuch on duty, "Go to Tang Jingsong Mansion and find Liu Shaoqing, and ask him to report the content of the competition with the princess in a few days. At that time, I will be the referee myself."

"Zhe!" The little eunuch went to receive the order. Zai Tian took this time to quickly settle the admissions of the Martial Arts School.

In this exam, the third place was Muller. This kid's strategy was about the role of the generals playing in the war. Although Zai Tian felt that this thing was not very reliable, after all, he always felt that the victory or defeat of a battle was completely entrusted to the general's shoulders. But at least it was a bit novel, so he took the third place. But first and second, the little emperor began to sway again.

One strategy theory was written by artillery by Liu Shaoqing, and another one was written by Wen Dusu about the use of cavalry in modern warfare.

Needless to say, what Liu Shaoqing wrote is naturally good. But what Wen Su wrote is a little difficult for the little emperor to grasp.

Zai Tian didn't know much about military affairs, but he could also see that Wen Dusu's strategy was good. In this strategy, the cavalry's combat form changed from the traditional group charge method of the Eight Banners to a linear offensive method, plus tactics such as flanking advancement, roundabout encirclement, and long-distance raids, which combined Liu Shaoqing's movement to himself yesterday to divide and surround the enemy, concentrate superior forces to annihilate, and surround the enemy into the cavalry war, and it was faster, more flexible and more ruthless.

In fact, Zai Tian didn't know that as early as six hundred years ago, the Mongols had already used this tactic of cavalry in war, and through this tactic, they dominated the entire Eurasian continent for nearly a hundred years. Wen Dusu was moved by his grandfather's defeat at Baliqiao and studied military books carefully, so he reorganized this cavalry tactic.

Good tactics are all similar. Liu Shaoqing's tactics in Tonkin, our party's guerrilla warfare in parallel worlds, and Germany's blitzkrieg in World War II are ultimately the product of this idea. That is, when there is no absolute advantage in confrontation, use the familiarity of the terrain environment or the maneuverability of maneuvering, and through large-scale interlude and detour maneuvering, find the enemy's weak links to conduct strong attacks, break through a little bit and expand the results, and ultimately drive the overall situation.

The tactics that the Mongols used to dominate the Eurasian continent were actually the essence of these. The tactical elements were surprise, fast, accurate and ruthless.

Zai Tian read Wen Dusu's strategy again, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give this strategy a first name.

After taking the third grade, Guangxu took out the really ordinary test papers he wrote, and reluctantly enclosed more than a dozen, which was an explanation for the Manchu nobles.

Two hundred years after the Qing army entered the pass, the Eight Banners' children had no ambitions and fighting spirits back then. If you let him fight cocks and crickets, you can't help but fight military tactics. But Zai Tian now has to rely on these princes and nobles to check and balance the ministers of the Han nationality and use the dispute between Manchu and Han to consolidate his power.

This is also impossible. First, I am still young, have a short time to rule, and have insufficient prestige; most importantly, I do not have a reliable army in my hands.

Without a gun in his hand, he is not tough in speaking. Thinking of this, Zai Tian became more and more looking forward to the new military reform.

After reviewing the memorial, he talked to Jianning for a while and sent the eunuch to Liu Shaoqing's house to talk back and forth.

Three competitions, the first competition is about endurance and physical strength, the second competition is about martial arts fighting, and the third competition is about foreign guns.

To put it more specifically, the first game was to require each person participating in the competition to carry 20 kilograms of weight and run forty miles within one hour; the second game was martial arts, just like the method in the palace yesterday. Each person fired a wooden stick wrapped in white gray at the front, and whoever was hit would be considered a failure; the third game was simpler than shooting a foreign gun, with each person five bullets to see who could hit it accurately.

According to the previous agreement, each team has thirty people, and the final decision depends on who has the higher score, even if that team wins.

After listening to it, Jianning was only interested in the second game. In her opinion, the second game was the most lively. Guangxu thought about these three competitions carefully. It should be said that the three competitions set by Liu Shaoqing were quite fair. In Zai Tian's opinion, the second competition selected from the royal palace and the palace must have been won. The first game should not be a big problem, but the number of forty miles looks quite scary.

As for the third game, the Shenji Camp has been practicing for more than a year, and it should be enough to shoot foreign guns. Just ask Yihuan to choose a few good shooting skills and add them.

Guangxu, a soldier from Shenji Camp, was not very brave enough. After all, only one foreign gun was occupied. These soldiers from Shenji Camp had a better advantage in the first and third competitions. So let's be more secure.

If the little emperor is still looking for his own sister, he will be considered as a gathering of the capital and the elites of the Han army will compete with Liu Shaoqing.

After this design, Zai Tian issued an order and started the competition at the Xiyuan Shenji Camp school ground at the ninth hour of the ninth month. Then he asked the prince to select ten soldiers with the best shooting skills from the Shenji Camp, and then selected ten guards from the palace and handed them over to Jianning. With the guards of the royal palace, he gathered thirty people.

The next morning, Guangxu handed over the list of the military sects to the Ministry of War and the military aircraft and asked them to publish the list. However, who is on the list is not there, and those relatives and noble ministers have already learned from their own channels. The list is actually not very meaningful.

On the third day, it was time for Liu Shaoqing to hand over his homework. Zai Tian had already sent a young eunuch to the Tang Mansion to bring people over. When he saw Liu Shaoqing, the first thing he said was naturally to ask if the Borneo strategy he had asked him to do was ready.

Liu Shaoqing was prepared and took out the memorial from his arms and submitted it: "It's done, please check it out."

The eunuch came forward to take it and handed it to Zai Tian. However, the little emperor took it over and did not open it. Instead, he put it aside and said to Liu Shaoqing: "Get up, you can tell me a brief story."

Liu Shaoqing kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He then stood up and said, "The main content is three. First, arrange elite soldiers to go to Borneo secretly, contact local Chinese, train armed forces, counterattack the Dutch puppet regime, and regain the rule; second, immigrate to the local area in an organized manner and consolidate the rule; third, send naval warships to the local area from time to time to deter opposition forces."

Zai Tian nodded, "How to arrange the soldiers?"

"Soldiers went in two batches, the first batch of 200 infantry plus 100 artillery soldiers, a total of three teams, took naval ships and entered the waters near Borneo under the name of naval visits, and then distributed a ship to secretly send the soldiers to the local docks at night. The role of this group of soldiers is mainly to build confidence for the overseas Chinese in Borneo and show them the attitude of the court. Mainly stick to the existing cities, if conditions permit, local counterattacks can be arranged appropriately."

Then he continued: "The second batch will be operated the same in a month. This batch no longer carries artillery and excess guns, but the number will be doubled. Their function is to use the foundation laid by the first batch of soldiers to find fighter jets to launch a counterattack on the Dutch. Because the number of people or weapons transported each time is not large, so only two small boats of three or five hundred tons can be transported at each time, and the Dutch should not be caught by the handle."

Zai Tian calculated in his mind that it is feasible to transport soldiers and equipment by ship.

"Okay, this is how you do it. There is no hurry to immigrate. I will arrange the matter of visiting the navy. You can arrange the matter of sending troops. You can take this piece of Huang Ling, and you can use it when writing a letter to Liu Yongfu at that time."

As he said that, Zai Tian picked up a bright yellow cloth from the table and handed it to Liu Shaoqing.

Liu Shaoqing naturally understood that using this was to imply that Liu Yongfu was assigned by the emperor. At the same time, he also told Liu Shaoqing that if this matter was exposed, your kid would be blamed for it, at least it would be a crime of "over-order".

Then, Zai Tian clapped his hands and quickly walked into a guard from outside. Zai Tian pointed to the guard who had just come in and said, "I have arranged a spy to go to Nanyang to contact him. This person knows how to contact Nanyang. After you go back, you arrange for someone around you to go back to Tokichi to meet Liu Yongfu. I will not interfere in the military organization and future combat matters, and this person will be responsible for communication and coordination in other aspects."

After Emperor Guangxu introduced the guard, perhaps he had received the emperor's will, and came forward to greet him: "Little man Li Qiang, I have met the young master."

Liu Shaoqing quickly returned the greeting: "You are polite, I hope you can help more in the future."

The two of them met now, and then Zai Tian waved his hand and said, "Then let it go, you guys should make arrangements quickly. I am worried that Nanyang will not last long."

"Oh~" Liu Shaoqing and the others kowtowed and left.

When he returned to the Tang Mansion, Liu Shaoqing did not dare to delay and immediately entered the study room and picked up a pen to write a secret letter to Liu Yongfu in front of the guard.

"My father's teaching: I have been in Beijing for several days, and I have been thinking about it. It is really not worth it. Today, the matter of enrolling in the martial arts school is concluded. It is expected that the school will start within the month. My father doesn't have to worry about my studies. My son has been in Beijing for a few days and was greatly grateful to the emperor and twice. My son feels deeply grateful to the emperor and cannot repay him. He will do his best to repay his kindness with all his heart and courage to repay his kindness in case."

"There is another thing. I was in the capital. I heard that there were Borneo overseas. There were many overseas Chinese, farming and merchants, and the islanders were willing to pay tribute to the court every year. However, there was a Western country called the Netherlands, who were greedy and rude, secretly supported local people and traitors, and planned to usurp the power of the "Lanfang Grand Rule" to benefit their own private positions. My son thought that the key points of the South China Sea were crucial to the court and must not fall into the hands of outsiders. Now that foreigners are coveted, they should share their worries with the imperial court. I hope my father can send a capable general to lead a battalion to help the local overseas Chinese. However, this matter involves foreigners. My father must be careful and do not affect the court due to personal desires. Otherwise, my son will not be able to redeem his sins even if he dies, he will be honest!"

After writing a letter, Liu Shaoqing called a servant who had been able to write to him and ordered: "You will send this letter to Guangnan quickly and present it to the old man. In addition, this guard is going south too, so you can go together."

After a few simple instructions, he handed the letter to the servant and introduced it to Li Qiang at the same time. Then the two went down to prepare together. Because the emperor was urging him to hurry, the two took the secret letter and quickly prepared the horse silver. They immediately got up and left, and went to Guangnan overnight without mentioning it.

As for the matter after arriving in Guangnan or even Nanyang, the guards were dispatched from it. It was a long journey. Even if Liu Shaoqing wanted to worry about it, he simply stopped thinking about it.
