Chapter 1338 Test Cannon

According to records, in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a young man named Song Qing in a rice shop in the capital. Although this man was a young man, he was different from an ordinary person. He was taller than an ordinary man, and he was even more powerful. He could beat two or three good men because he was famous for his distance. According to historical records, how high was Song Qing? After becoming a general, he met the Empress Dowager Cixi for the first time with others. Cixi looked at him and pointed at him and said to the eunuch next to him: "Who is that? He didn't kneel when he saw me. He was so brave!"

The eunuch next to him hurriedly said, "That's General Song Qing, he's kneeling,"

Cixi was surprised and said, "It's so high that she kneels. She's so heroic. She's a handsome man. Just ask him to stand up and take a look!"

Song Qing's fortune is also quite legendary: by chance, Song Qing was discovered by a high-ranking official in the capital. It is said that this official is proficient in physique. When he saw Song Qing's physique, he couldn't help but be surprised and said to him: "From your appearance, you will definitely be precious in the future. How can you stay in the market for a long time and be inferior to others?"

Song Qing was not a fool either. He came very quickly and immediately fell to the ground and said, "I'm asking for advice on the way out!"

The high-ranking official pondered for a while and said, "The court is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. A talent like you should serve in the army, and can also be used as an advancement." At that moment, he was sent to the army.

Not long after, the official was released to Anhui as the leader and took Song Qing there. At that time, the Nian Army was in Anhui for a generation of turmoil. In order to resist the Nian Army, local landlords and gentry all contributed funds to form local armed forces, namely, regiment training. Song Qing was appointed as the regiment training commander and took on the important task of leading the regiment training force to defend the Nian Army.

All opportunities are favored by those who are prepared, but in addition to being prepared, one must also be strong in one's own abilities, especially to stand out in troubled times. It is impossible to have no extraordinary ability. Song Qing was also very wise and brave, and made many military achievements. Song Qing quickly became famous and eventually became a famous general in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he was awarded the title of "Yiyong Batulu" by the Qing court (meaning of a warrior).

Speaking of Anhui, we must mention Li Hongzhang, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty. He was from Anhui and also focused on promoting his fellow villagers. A typical example was Duan Qirui, one of the three heroes of Beiyang warlords, who was just a down-and-out boy back then. Because he was his little fellow villager, he repeatedly promoted him to the Martial Arts School and sent him to study in the German Artillery School, and eventually became a generation of sensational figures.

Song Qing became famous from Anhui. The army he led was one of the Huai Army founded by Li Hongzhang. Because of the title of "Yiyong Batulu" he received, his army was also called Yijun. At that time, it was also a very famous army that could conquer and fight.

Now, the army that Zhao Xiuniang recommends Guo Xiaohai to vote.

In order to avoid hunting, Guo Xiaohai ran all the way, hiking out at night, and traveling in a hurry, especially in the first few days, and traveled nearly 200 miles on his birthday. Such a high intensity could be sustained. One was to rely on the foundation of his body, and the other was the strong belief in his heart. He couldn't find Saemon and Haruko, and he couldn't go back. In a daze, Guo Xiaohai could only think about how to make a name for himself and become stronger as soon as possible. This has almost become a paranoid idea for him. It seems that only in this way can he have the possibility of going back in the future.

Half a month later, in western Liaoning, a certain unit of the Yi army was in the field for a large camp.

A small school with distinctive clothes and armor took Zhao Xiuniang's letter and brought the dusty Guo Xiaohai into the gate. After several twists and turns, he came to a high platform in the playground.

Sun Lianyue, deputy general of the Yi Army, was anxious. On the open ground in the playground, a Krupp cannon that had been purchased from Germany was standing there, with its cannon body in a secluded manner and staring at the target in the distance.

On the platform, the canopy is raised high, and there is a mahogany carved grand master chair in it, majestic and solemn. Today is an important day. Lord Song, the commander of the Yi Army, will come here in person to watch the latest Krupp cannons in the artillery battalion. This is not only a consideration of the strength of his troops, but also an investigation of the Krupp cannons. If you are satisfied, you will ask the court to purchase and expand your military strength.

Everything is ready for the performance activities. The commander is about to arrive, but at this critical moment, something went wrong.

Originally, several magic gunners were selected and studied with engineers sent by the Krupp factory for more than half a month. However, at this critical moment, the main gunner who was responsible for the distance measurement was frightened and was thrown off and seriously injured.

The other few are assisted deputy gunners. They are not very proficient in new cannons, and no one dares to take on important responsibilities. This is really a frustration for Sun Lianyue.

At this moment, the school brought Guo Xiaohai with a letter. Thanks to Zhao Xiuniang's letter, Guo Xiaohai wouldn't even be able to enter this camp.

When Sun Lianyue heard that "someone asked for a meeting", she was so annoyed that she didn't even listen. She waved her hand and said, "See you!"

The school was pretty good, so he added: "He said it was introduced by Zhao Xiuniang from Haizhou, and there is a letter here!"

When he heard Zhao Xiuniang in Haizhou City, Sun Lianyue's expression moved and turned around. The person Zhao Xiuniang introduced was inevitable, because Zhao Xiuniang's husband was his Sun Lianyue's boss back then, and he was kind to support him and to kill the enemy side by side.

Only then did Guo Xiaohai see clearly the man's appearance, with long face, single eyelids, and short beards. Although he was sophisticated, his appearance was full of the roughness and wind and frost of a soldier.

Sun Lianyue was also looking at the young man in front of him, carrying a small bag, and was covered in dust. His clothes were no longer visible. Although he was black and thin, he was tall and strong, with a heroic spirit. Especially his eyes and demeanor seemed to have the character of a soldier.

Sun Lianyue took the letter and looked at Guo Xiaohai again, and asked, "Has he been a soldier?"

Of course I have been in it, of course, in the later world, the secret troops of the National Security Bureau, or the school level.

Guo Xiaohai immediately followed the style of the school, clasped his fists and said aloud: "Sir, I've been!"

This spirit makes people feel happy first. "You came from Haizhou and came here for more than a thousand miles, right?"

"Yes, sir, my subordinates hiked all the way, and walked for nearly half a month." Guo Xiaohai.

"Oh?" Sun Lianyue couldn't help but be slightly surprised and looked at him again. At this time, a school official came hurriedly with a military doctor and reported: "Sir, the doctor has already seen it. The gunner's legs are broken and his ribs are broken, so he really can't stand..."

"Yeah! The commander will arrive soon, what should I do?" Sun Lianyue sighed and slapped the cannon barrel with his palm.

Guo Xiaohai had already understood his troubles. He had been looking at the Krupp artillery next to him for a long time. First, he was curious and attracted by the might of the artillery; second, when he was in the National Security Bureau, he received the most comprehensive special training, which was even more awesome than those international hunter schools. He naturally had all kinds of artillery, including principles, historical evolution, etc., and ranging is a must-have skill when sniping.

For those who are prepared, this is the opportunity to make a comeback, while for those who are lazy, who are usually confused and do not know how to make progress, there is no opportunity at this time.

"Sir, can you let me try?" Guo Xiaohai pondered for a moment and said loudly.

"You?" Sun Lianyue turned around, looked at him, then looked at the letter in his hand, and said, "Zhao Xiuniang said in the letter, you are good at calculating accounts, isn't it..."

Guo Xiaohai made a fuss and said, "Sir, my subordinates have been exposed to artillery, and they are not unfamiliar with it. This is the Krupp artillery, with a minimum range of three kilometers, and the distance can reach about ten kilometers. The door bolt is crossed, and the chamber is ignited..."
