Red Alert 1895 Chapter 8

Time soon entered February of 1895, and now Wang Guorui has stopped recruiting troops, because it is actually impossible to recruit troops now. The Taiwan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army currently has more than 1,200 people, which is already a reinforced battalion. And there are about 800 natural persons, which is already the maximum number that Hsinchu County can afford. It is impossible for a county in Hsinchu County to provide too many soldiers, so Wang Guorui is also a headache. Now Wang Guorui has two headaches, the first is an important military assistant, because he has no suitable person who can serve as a senior officer, so he is very worried about this matter. The management ability of that three-star elite soldier has reached its limit, and there is a possibility of chaos in the army at any time. If you don't find a suitable person to be an officer as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome.

As for the second question, that is, the question of soldiers. Now there are no suitable people in Hsinchu County who can continue to be recruited into the army. If they continue to be recruited, it may affect production, and the people will not be able to support them. Therefore, under the pressure of these two problems at the same time, Wang Guorui has stopped recruiting soldiers. But next, these two issues are very important issues. If they are not resolved, the anti-Japanese cause will not be completed.

"Commander, we caught a man who broke into our barracks without permission. We came here to ask you what we should do!" said the three-star clone soldier.

Wang Guorui immediately asked: "What are you doing to eat, that someone ran in? Didn't I tell you to be vigilant and prevent people from coming in? And when they got close, they had to fire a warning shot and tell them to leave quickly, but how did he Can you still come in?"

"Commander, he didn't come from our side of the road, but climbed out of the forest. He directly entered our camp in the forest, and we fired warning shots, but he didn't continue to come in, but he also Did not leave. In this situation, we came to ask the commander for instructions, what should we do?"

Wang Guorui almost vomited blood, these soldiers are too rigid! Wang Guorui said before that if they approached, they should fire a warning shot and tell them to leave. If they keep pushing, shoot them. But the intruder actually ran out from the forest, and the clones did not deploy guards in the direction of the forest. After all, they thought there could be no one there. In this way, the defense force on the side of the mountain forest was obviously insufficient, allowing the intruder to break in directly. Of course, the red alarm system also issued a warning to the clone troopers, indicating that they had been invaded.

But it was too late at that time, and the intruder went directly to the place where the army was training. At this time, according to Wang Guorui, a warning shot must be fired first. Wang Guorui's order was to fire a warning shot first, so this gang of red police soldiers fired a warning shot first, and they would only shoot if they continued to move forward.

And the intruder didn't know what was going on, he heard the warning shot and stopped entering, but he didn't retreat either. This time, he really happened to be stuck under Wang Guorui's order. It wasn't like asking those red police soldiers to let him go, or shooting him to death. So they all came to ask Wang Guorui for instructions.

"Hey, these guys don't have the ability to adapt at all. They really aren't the material to be a senior officer! They are so rigid, and being a senior officer will kill people!" Wang Guorui complained inwardly.

Wang Guorui came to the barracks and saw the intruder. The intruder neither advanced nor retreated, so he happened to be in the blind spot of Wang Guorui's orders to the red police soldiers, so he could come down. And this person looks twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he looks relatively young. And this man was wearing the clothes of a Qing military officer, obviously a Qing military officer. And Wang Guorui was even more troubled, because if he was just an ordinary person, then Wang Guorui could detain him in order to keep his secrets, and he was not afraid of any problems. But this guy happened to be an officer of the Qing Dynasty, so if he disappeared, he might be suspected.

"Who are you? Do you know where this is?" Wang Guorui asked.

But that person didn't say much, just asked: "Where do these foreign guns and cannons come from? And the army here is very elite. I'm afraid that there are not such elite soldiers in the whole Qing Dynasty. What do you want to do?" what?"

Wang Guorui immediately asked, "Tell me, who are you?"

"My name is Hu Wei. I'm the son of Hu Chuan, the governor of Taitung Zhili Prefecture, and I'm temporarily acting as the general manager of the battalion." Hu Wei said.

Wang Guorui immediately asked, "Are you Hu Shi's brother?"

"You know Shedi, he's only four years old!" Hu Wei asked in surprise.

Wang Guorui smiled, because he happened to know that the father of Hu Shi, a famous scholar in the Republic of China, happened to be working in Taiwan now. Now Hu Shi's father is called Hu Chuan. He is the magistrate of Zhili Prefecture in Taitung, Taiwan. However, the combat effectiveness of these armies is worth studying.

And Hu Chuan has five sons, and Hu Shi is the youngest. Hu Shi's mother was Hu Shi's father's fill-in house, that is, the one married by his father Xu Xian. And Hu Shi has four older brothers, and this Hu Wei may be one of them. However, Wang Guorui did not expect that he would meet Hu Shi's elder brother here, who seemed to be an officer of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This time, there are really some troubles. If it is not handled well, there will really be problems.

"Aha, Brother Hu, I'm the magistrate of Hsinchu County. This army is the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army I formed, and it's training now!" Wang Guorui said.

But Hu Wei said: "Since you are the magistrate of the imperial court, where did your weapons come from?"

"Hehe, cats have cat ways, I have my own way?" Wang Guorui said casually.

Hu Wei continued to ask: "Then what do you want to do?"

"Need to say? I want to fight against Japan! Now that the Japanese pirates have defeated the navy of our imperial court, they can land in Taiwan at any time. Of course I want to form an army to defend Taiwan. And the governor Tang Jingsong also ordered that we can form troops everywhere. Will the Volunteer Army come to defend Taiwan?" Wang Guorui said lightly.

"But..." Hu Wei wanted to say something else.

"Brother Hu, you don't need to say more! I formed the army to prevent the Japanese army from invading Taiwan. I have no other ideas. I can assure you that if our Qing Dynasty can properly resolve the war with the Japanese pirates, then these troops will also The land was disbanded, and all the weapons were handed over to the imperial court," Wang Guorui said.

When Wang Guorui said this, he actually wanted to stabilize Hu Wei so that he would not be too concerned. But Wang Guorui knew that the Japanese would never let Taiwan go, even they still wanted Liaodong. But later the three countries intervened and returned Liaodong, so Liaodong was preserved. As for Taiwan, it can be said that they absolutely want to occupy it. So Wang Guorui didn't worry about his army being disbanded at all, anyway, he just said this kind of nonsense.

"Well, it's more like this!" Hu Wei said.

After hearing what Hu Wei said, Wang Guorui was really relieved, because Hu Wei seemed to have been temporarily appeased. As for the future, Wang Guorui also wanted to keep him here, but he had to be fooled.

"Brother Hu, do you think you can help me manage this army? I have to deal with government affairs on the one hand, and I don't have much time to manage these troops on the other. So since you are also a general manager, you might as well manage it for me. Alright!" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui also had no other choice, because Wang Guorui did not have suitable talents to help him manage the army, and since Hu Wei was an officer of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was still Chief Qian, with at least 500 to 1,000 people under his command. Coupled with his young age, he may still be a general. The more important thing is that Wang Guorui has no talents, so he can only give it a try. The selection of generals among the dwarves is what he said. Moreover, this guy is an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so it is not wrong to kill him or let him go, so Wang Guorui is the most troublesome. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"This..." Hu Wei was also a little moved.

Because the army with such powerful weapons is also a very tempting Hu Wei. Any general hopes to lead an army with good weapons and enough training, and this is obviously in line with his own ideas.

"Hu Xiongtai, I am sincere. I really don't know much about military affairs, and I don't have any dissent. I can let Hu Xiongtai, a man I just met, manage the army instead of me. This means that I have no dissent. , is a loyal minister!" Wang Guorui said.

Hu Wei was completely relieved, thinking that Wang Guorui had no bad thoughts. After all, Wang Guorui's ability to take a colleague who had never met in the army showed that Wang Guorui had no dissent and was a loyal minister. So Hu Wei was not worried that Wang Guorui would have bad ideas.

But Wang Guorui thought in his heart: "Hmph, if you can take my army away, it is impossible at all. The squad leaders in this army are all clones of my Red Police. If you can take the army away Let's go, then I'll take your last name!"

"In this case, I will write a letter to my father, explaining that I will stay with you temporarily. After all, we are officials in the same dynasty, and my father should be able to trust you." Hu Wei said.

Wang Guorui smiled. This Hu Wei has already fallen for the trick, and he is willing to stay and manage the army for him for the time being. Anyway, Wang Guorui is not worried that he can take the army away, so Wang Guorui can hand it over to him with confidence. As for Hu Wei who is willing to cooperate after defeating the Japanese army, Wang Guorui doesn't mind giving him prosperity and wealth after ruling China in the future. But if he doesn't cooperate, then don't blame Wang Guorui for crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.
