Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 159
The sun is shining brightly in the sky, and the sea breeze is very uncomfortable.

Wu Dong received the envoy of the Black Banner Army sent by Liu Yongfu at the Khmer base.

"Is Liu Tongzhi okay?"

After greeting each other and dividing the guests and hosts into seats, he asked directly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I miss you so much!"

"Thank you, Brother Wu, for your concern, everything will be fine under control!"

The envoy of the Black Banner Army replied respectfully, and then changed the topic: "However, at this time, brothers Tong Zhi and the Black Banner Army brothers are in trouble and need Brother Wu's help!"

When I said this, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Back then, Wu Dong stood like a minion. If he hadn't been approved by Huang Feihong and participated in the establishment of the Foshan militia, he might still be running around for a living.

It's not like now, occupying Khmer and becoming a hero.With more than ten thousand men under his command, the area he controls may be as large as a whole family.

The key point is that Wu Dong's management and governance capabilities are extremely strong, and the machinery factories run by foreigners in the area under his jurisdiction are actually able to produce weapons such as rifles, bullets, and grenades.

Coupled with a dozen gunboats and torpedo boats obtained from nowhere, it has become a force that cannot be ignored in Nanyang.

Now, the existence that needed the help of the Black Banner Army to make a fortune at the beginning has become a big boss that the Black Banner Army looks up to, which shows the wonder of the world.

"What kind of support does the Black Banner Army need, just speak up!"

Wu Dong didn't know what the envoy was thinking, and he was not in the mood to chat nonsense with him, so he asked directly.

It has been more than half a year since he returned to the Khmer base.

For such a long time, it is natural to be able to firmly control the Khmer base.

It has to be said that the rotation decision made back then was extremely correct.

All brothers who have outstanding performance in Khmer will be rotated in Wu Dongna for half a year.

The main thing is to cultivate their abilities, and the secondary aspect is to reduce the appearance of big hills.

The effect is quite obvious. The Khmer base is full of talents. Although there are a few handsome talents, they are not giving in to each other. Coupled with the system and supervision constraints, Khmer is still under Wu Dong's control.

Of course not only that, Wu Dong's vigorous development of education before also helped him basically eliminate the possibility of one person dominating among his brothers.

After all, in the past ten years of education and training, not to mention all of them have outstanding abilities, but they have all opened up the wisdom of the people, and they will not be easily bewitched to follow blindly.

The problem is not that there is no problem. Khmer has a lot of contacts with various forces in Nanyang, and there are also many great powers who have exchanges. Don’t have too many messy ideas.

In addition, no matter whether it is the immigrants from Jiao'ao or Guangdong Province, there are obvious signs of huddling together for warmth. During the period, some restless guys were tossing around, and the internal harmony was not harmonious.

What's more, the influence of many years of traditional feudal thought has spread, and many newly built villages and towns show signs of moving towards a patriarchal society.

In addition, some family forces that have already made a fortune in Nanyang, as well as some commercial forces in Guangdong Province extended their hands over, and while activating the economy, they also began to spoil the atmosphere here.

In short, the trouble is not big but it cannot be ignored, and it takes a lot of time to deal with it slowly.

After easily controlling the situation here in Khmer, he continued to invest a lot of energy in education and medical care. Based on the 5000-year history of China, he vigorously advocated the political and economic system of the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and created a concept that the world's great unity is the highest ideal. Unity of thought.

In addition, it is to vigorously develop the five small industries, and at the same time use the relationship to buy cable telegraphs and establish a telegraph network that can connect settlements in various places in time.

During this period, he used some crude equipment and also made wireless telegraphy, but the signal was not very stable, and he did not want to be used by the big powers early. He just established a wireless telegraph receiving and sending station at the core of the Khmer base and the old nest of Jiaoao.

At the same time, it is to build railways to connect the main settlements, so that the transportation within the base will be more closely linked.

There are also a series of development strategies and plans. In short, it is to develop productivity, use a higher level of technology and productivity, and break the traditional patriarchal social order.

Under his command, the entire Khmer base is fully operational.

The territory is rapidly expanding inland, whether it is agricultural and forestry products or primary industrial products, there is a steady stream of output, providing strong support for subsequent development.

When he was busy, Wu Dong did not forget to inquire about the outside world.

In Guangdong Province, the story of Huang Feihong's second part has just ended.

In other words, the real Jiugong, the core member of the White Lotus Sect who had met once in Ludi, was beaten to death by Huang Feihong.

As far as he knew, that person was indeed the unlucky guy from the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, who was sent to Guangdong Province to create a situation, and then got rid of it.

Huang Feihong is handsome, but he hasn't married Thirteenth Aunt yet, and he doesn't know how long it will take?
When it really came to the time when the Lion King was fighting for hegemony, Aunt Thirteen was a proper old girl.

It's just a pity that Wu Dong's status is a bit embarrassing, so it's not easy to invite Huang Feihong and Aunt Thirteen to Khmer as guests, and it's not easy to meet them.

It's just that I don't know what's going on. Whether it's the Foshan militia, or the fleet and bodyguards built on the basis of the militia, the development in recent years has not been very smooth.

That is to say, the fleet managed by Zhurourong, because of its close relationship with Khmer, has opened up the situation in Nanyang, but the scale expansion is not very fast.

I heard that the situation on the side of the militia is not very good. It needs continuous blood transfusion support from the fleet and escort agencies. It is not clear what the situation is.

Before, Zhurou Rong came to visit twice, and didn't say much about the militia, it was just a pure business exchange.

It can be clearly felt that Zhurong, who has not seen him for so many years and who is not very close, has a slightly rusty and indifferent attitude.

Wu Dong didn't care much, and didn't bother to guess what this fellow was thinking, so let it be.

Based on his understanding of Huang Feihong, he reckoned that the control of the Foshan militia might fall into the hands of someone with a heart.

As for why, the militias got mixed up to the point where they needed blood from the fleet and bodyguards, so he wasn't very clear about it.

When he left, Po Chi Lam's pharmaceutical workshop business was booming.

Back then, she had deliberately entrusted the affairs of the pharmaceutical workshop to Thirteenth Aunt.

I just don't know if Thirteenth Aunt has completed the steam upgrade that he planned at the beginning?
However, the Khmer base uses a large amount of cooling oil and essential oil, as well as some Chinese patent medicines commonly used in tropical areas, all of which are independently produced by the base.

What happens elsewhere is not very clear.

Put aside the matter of Huang Feihong, the other matter is about the Black Banner Army.

The small days were really ambitious. During the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], not only did they attack the Beiyang navy, but they also did not stop here in the south, directly sending troops to attack Treasure Island.

Nima, why are there such nasty guys everywhere?

Although my Qing court is corrupt.However, a timely defensive deployment was made, that is, the black flag army was dispatched to the island for defense.

But at this time, the Black Banner Army was manipulated by my Qing court. At this time, there are less than [-] generals. How could it be possible to withstand the landing of the Xiaotian army?
No, in desperation, Liu Yongfu sent an envoy to ask for help.

Wu Dong didn't turn his back on anyone, even if the Black Banner Army didn't take the initiative to come to ask for help, he would send troops and torpedo boats to take the initiative to make trouble for Xiaozi.

Now that I spent a lot of time in Jiao'ao, it would be a good choice to come back to Baodao again.

"Rifles, the Black Banner Army needs a lot of rifles and bullets!"

Seeing Wu Dong's clear attitude, the envoy of the Black Banner Army was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "If there are other weapons, I hope Brother Wu can support a batch!"

"Do you want grenades? Do you want small homemade cannons with a range of about one mile? Do you want swords, bows and crossbows?"

Every time Wu Dong said something, the envoy of the Black Banner Army would nod his head hastily, and say 'yes, yes', and his face would blush when he reacted.

"Has the Black Banner Army reached this level of difficulty?"

Wu Dong was a little puzzled, and asked curiously: "It seems that the court's disarmament is indeed a bit too harsh, but the allocation of armaments has always been more timely?"

The envoy of the Black Banner Army shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said depressedly: "Since the Black Banner Army has less than a thousand troops, the government has not been so generous in distributing ordnance!"

Tsk, isn't this a clear way to kill the donkey?

That is to say, Liu Yongfu can bear it. If it was changed, he would have quit.

"In addition, the frequency of the brothers' drills is not low, which leads to a lot of vacancies for firearms. There is really no way!"

The envoy of the Black Banner Army said distressedly: "I can't, tell the brothers to fight with the little days' army with bare hands, right?"

Hearing this, Wu Dong was very satisfied.

It wasn't that he was gloating, but he was really satisfied. Obviously, Liu Yongfu had listened to his previous advice, and it wasn't that he had done nothing.

At the beginning, when he went to Ludi, he reminded Liu Yongfu.

Since Liu Yongfu does not want to confront the imperial court, and has no direct resistance to the court's repeated disarmament, he should train the remaining brothers well.

It is best to train them as officers. Once the imperial court needs the Black Banner Army to go out, relying on these well-trained officers can immediately pull up a combat-capable army, so that they will not be helpless because of too few people.

In normal history, the Black Banner Army had almost no performance in Baodao, because the number was too small to be effective.

But if Liu Yongfu had listened to Wu Dong's suggestion, then the hundreds of troops of the Black Banner Army at this time would be a team of all officers.

As long as there are enough officers and they are elite enough, even if it is just a temporary team, the combat effectiveness will not be too bad.

"I'll give you five hundred rifles and the bullets they are equipped with!"

Wu Dong was also unambiguous, and directly began to give the support list: "In addition, there are [-] grenades, [-] pairs of swords, bows and crossbows, and enough trauma medicine!"

Without waiting for the envoy of the Black Banner Army to thank him, he continued to give more intense support: "Tell Liu Tongzhi, after a while here in Khmer, he will directly send elite troops to fight on the island..."
