Super Dictator

These Germans followed Wei Jichen obediently one by one. However, Wei Jichen knew that Old Hanks was actually right. He had not systematically studied Western-style drills and tactics. If he were allowed to train these soldiers, it would be really difficult. Can't train.

The original old-fashioned military training methods are undoubtedly outdated for the new army.

Therefore, after returning to Liaodong, the top priority was to recruit people in the army who knew Western-style drills, such as Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen and others to work with German coaches to compile an effective drill book.

In this way, the military training of the Ding Liao Army can be regarded as having rules and regulations to follow, and falling into a normal pace.

Ruan Zhongshu, the general manager of the Ordnance Bureau, saw that Wei Jichen had subdued the German coach in just a few moments, and he couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart. Ruan Zhongshu was originally Li Hongzhang's staff. After coming to Wei Jichen, he would naturally compare Wei Jichen with Li Hongzhang.

In the end, it was discovered that Wei Jichen and Li Hongzhang were two people with completely different personalities.

Li Hongzhang is good at forbearing and following rules, as if there is an invisible rope that has been binding him, and he will show hesitation in certain things, which is a taboo for people who do great things.

And Wei Jichen may be because he is young and full of energy, and he is very open-minded in doing things. Sometimes he acts simply unscrupulously and has no worries. He does not worry about gains and losses. Once he decides to do something, he no longer thinks about the consequences, but If you go all out, this kind of person can often do some earth-shattering things.

Old Hanks asked the other German coaches to follow Duan Qirui to familiarize themselves with the situation in the army, while he himself followed Wei Jichen towards the arsenal.

"If your country purchases more firearms and ammunition from my country, the relationship between our two countries will definitely improve." Old Hanks said with a smile when he learned that the Dingliao Army would use German firearms.

"The emperor of your country may have different ideas than you." Wei Jichen said with a hint.

William II had already asked the Qing government to get him a concession in Tianjin based on his meritorious service in returning to Liao. The next step was to get a port.

Old Hanks obviously didn't know much about politics, and he was confused and didn't reply.

Soon, Wei Jichen and others entered the arsenal and saw boxes of firearms stacked neatly.

Wei Jichen asked two soldiers to open a box, which contained brand-new Type 92 Mauser rifles.

I randomly picked one up and tried it, and there was no big problem.

He held it in his hand without saying a word for a long time.

Although Wei Jichen didn't ask about the price of this gun, he thought it wouldn't be cheap. It would be great if he could make it himself. Wei Jichen sighed.

"It's actually a very simple thing to make it yourself."

A small tinkling sound suddenly came from Wei Jichen's mind.

"It's a simple thing." Wei Jichen was delighted.

"Of course, Song Jiang allows you to activate the territory system, Bai Qi allows you to have a benevolent heart, and Mozi will activate the design and manufacturing system in the system. As long as you become a disciple of Mozi, you can purchase and produce various products from the system. It is no longer a dream to build a factory to produce such weapons with the equipment and process drawings. "

Wei Jichen was overjoyed that becoming a disciple of Mozi had such an effect, but he couldn't rush the matter. He could only consider it after it stabilized.

Ruan Zhongshu saw Wei Jichen's face change from joy to gloom, and then to joy again. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "My lord, are you dissatisfied with this batch of guns?"

"How can we be dissatisfied? With these guns, the combat effectiveness of our Dingliao army will be greatly increased." Wei Jichen felt relieved as he settled a major issue in his mind.

"Urge the training department for the second batch of ordnance. After we return to Liaodong, we will immediately replace the shotguns with cannons and practice with new ordnance." Wei Jichen ordered again.

Ruan Zhongshu had a headache because of Wei Jichen's vigorous and resolute character. Chinese people always procrastinate in doing things, and it seemed that he had his own work to do. Ruan Zhongshu glanced at Wei Jichen with infinite resentment.

When Wei Jichen returned to his temporary residence, it was already dark at night. He took a few soldiers with him and from a distance saw a beautiful woman with double buns and a light green skirt leaning against the door of the yard.

Wei Jichen looked carefully. Isn't this Su Zhiniang?

It seems that Wang Huaiqing took her over. Wei Jichen will engage in rebellion in the future, so naturally he will not leave Su Zhiniang in Tianjin.

Wei Jichen took a few steps and stepped forward to take Su Zhiniang's red hand.

Steeply.

"Amitabha, General, you are back." An old monk wearing cassocks and a shiny head flashed out from behind.

It was the old monk with long eyebrows and white beard who asked Wei Jichen to give him alms,

"Why are you here?" Wei Jichen stopped abruptly, kept his hand in the air, and asked with a look of astonishment on his face.

The old monk put his hands together and saluted and said, "Buddha said, don't say it."

Su Zhiniang saw that Wei Jichen's face was not good, so she said playfully: "This master said he is an old acquaintance of yours, and you invited him here."

"Old monk, monks don't tell lies, so why did you lie to my wife? Why did I ever invite you here?" Wei Jichen stepped forward and asked aggressively.

The old monk said Samadhi, and replied unhappily: "The general and I have met each other once, and they are old acquaintances. The general asked me to remove the evil spirit from you. I can only follow the general and advise him to stop killing and be cruel. The anger will naturally dissipate.”

Wei Jichen was naturally unable to explain these profound issues to a monk.

"Old monk, if you don't eat fast and chant Buddha's name in the temple, why are you living in this mortal world?" Wei Jichen asked.

"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand! My Buddha is merciful. I will not go to hell. Whoever goes to hell will have a great calamity. I hope all living beings will be spared from killing and death. The general is the one who should be punished. I should be by the general's side. Please advise the general to stop killing people." The old monk's words became more and more outrageous.

Wei Jichen narrowed his eyes, flashed a cold light, and asked aloud: "Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to me?"

"The body is a Bodhi tree, and the mind is a mirror stand." The old monk replied calmly.

Damn it, Wei Jichen was so dizzy from what he said.

"Come here, throw this old monk out." Wei Jichen turned to the soldiers and said.

Su Zhiniang advised with some worry: "Master, you'd better leave by yourself. If you don't leave, my husband-in-law will be annoyed."

"That's it, that's all. All dharmas originate from conditions. The Tathagata says this is the cause. I once adopted a disciple. He had wisdom but no wise heart. He had no name and no surname. I called him the young monk. Later, I gave up my Buddhist sect and called myself Monk Xiao. General, do you know? Do you want to be my disciple?" The old monk looked straight at Wei Jichen with eyes as calm as an ancient well.

"Monk Xiao!" Wei Jichen's body shook slightly and he took half a step back.

"He has died in the battle. Master, are you here to find his body? You will find out when you follow me into Liaodong." Wei Jichen said in a low voice.

The old monk shook his head and said: "He is a stinky person, but he has eliminated his karmic obstacles and achieved supreme enlightenment."
