Rebirth of the Qing Empire

Since the Blue Demon Team began normal patrols, the bandits in the surrounding areas of Ningwu County have disappeared. As the Blue Demon Team's actions gradually gained popularity among the people, more and more people voluntarily signed up to join the Blue Demon Team. Soon,

The Blue Demon Team has expanded to more than 600 people, exceeding the size of a battalion.

This scale greatly exceeds the initial quota of 200 given by the general army of Datong Town. Moreover, when recruiting soldiers, Kang Fan gives priority to those who have military experience and a certain cultural background. The quality requirements are relatively high, and their combat effectiveness is definitely higher than that of Datong Town.

Above ordinary officers and soldiers. Furthermore, Kang Fan established cavalry, and the cost of purchasing horses alone was not a small amount.

After Kang Fan took office as the garrison of the Central Army of Ningwu Prefecture, he took all the Blue Demon Team under his own account. The name of the Blue Demon Team was also abandoned. It was directly transferred from a private training team to the Ningwu Prefecture Garrison, and transformed into a regular Qing Empire.

Officers and soldiers. After the Blue Demon Team merged with the local garrison, the number reached more than 3,000. After screening, all unqualified officers and soldiers were returned to Datong Town. The rest were elites who could meet Kang Fan's requirements, a total of 2,000

There are many people, a real cavalry regiment size.

The 200 Blue Demon team members who initially followed Kang Fan all served as officers of various levels in this expansion. After more than half a year of training by Kang Fan, these team members' personal qualities have been greatly improved, and they will be led by them.

Soldiers, Kang Fan can still rest assured. Besides, with his own supervision, there shouldn't be much problem in making these more than 2,000 people achieve the combat quality expected by Kang Fan.

After the new batch of 3,000 Mosin-Nagant m1891 rifles, 10 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns and 6 75mm field guns purchased by Donovan arrived, the regiment was fully equipped. Kang Fan

The British Vickers Company, the manufacturer of the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun, was commissioned to change all 15 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns it purchased into firing 7.62 mm high-power bullets used in the Mosin-Nagant m1891 rifle.

ammunition specifications.

Another measure was to order a batch of sabers from the United States and uniformly equip the officers and soldiers of the cavalry regiment. The uniforms of the cavalry regiment were changed back to the unified Qing army cavalry uniforms, but they were still black leather riding boots. Then there was the equipment for the cavalry regiment.

A certain number of new horse-drawn carriages were purchased for towing artillery or transporting them.

Kang Fan was allocated a house in the county military camp. It was an independent courtyard located to the north of the military camp. It had 3 main rooms and 4 side rooms. There were many tall and strong trees in the courtyard. I don’t know which predecessor planted them. In the forest

There is a path paved with bluestones that winds through and leads directly to the main hall.

When Kang Fan moved here, it was close to the Spring Festival of that year. Looking around, the courtyard had green bricks and gray tiles, towering trees, fallen leaves everywhere, and snow everywhere, making it look very quiet. In this way, Adolf and Red Rabbit lived here with him.

There was one person, one horse and one dog, so it was quite lively. Every time Kang Fan went to the county town, it was a bit far to walk, so he had to ride a red rabbit, which was convenient, while Adolf stayed behind to guard the house.

The military camp is located in a long and narrow mountain valley north of the county seat. It covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 acres. It is absolutely no problem to garrison 5,000 troops. It is already very large. Although the living and training facilities in the military camp are complete, they are old and unqualified.

. Now that it is no longer suitable for construction, Kang Fan plans to carry out large-scale renovation and expansion here next spring, build a modern multi-functional military camp that meets his own requirements, train officers and recruits, and prepare for the creation of his own new army in the future.

The small military camp originally used by the Blue Demon Team was requisitioned by the next industrial development plan and will be converted into a factory to continue to play a role.

After all the cavalry regiments are stationed in this military camp, they can rely on this place to train and patrol at the same time. The patrol range of small-scale patrol units ranging from a dozen to dozens of officers and soldiers can cover the surrounding areas of the four counties under the jurisdiction of Ningwu Prefecture.

However, due to the limited scale, the Blue Demon Team could only cover the surrounding areas of Ningwu County.

In this way, coupled with the cooperation of the patrol officers in each county, the entire Ningwu Prefecture area is under the control of the government at all times. The people in the area finally enjoy the long-lost peace and tranquility, which is what happened after Kang Fan.

The industrial development plan provides a suitable social environment.

At this time, the development of the Mafang Township Industrial Park was changing with each passing day. A large number of cheap and high-quality medicines, daily chemical products, etc. were supplied to the rapidly growing consumer market, and profits followed. Yu Hao also got his own fortune.

The most generous annual tax income and the most peaceful Spring Festival since I came here. I also received very touching words of praise from my uncle, which made me feel extremely happy.

"People say that beauties come out of Suzhou and Hangzhou, so I brought two girls from the south of the Yangtze River to my virtuous brother, and sent them to my virtuous brother as maids, so that I could help him take care of his daily life. The life of my virtuous brother is really impressive.

I can’t bear to look at you." Yu Hao said to Kang Fan.

Kang Fan really needed someone to clean up the house. Although he usually ate in the barracks kitchen with the officers and soldiers, how could he let his men, such as his men, do the work of cleaning up the house? He did not refuse at that moment.

Before Kang Fan could bring these two fair-skinned Jiangnan women back to the military camp, he was intercepted by Mei Xiang on the way.

"Kang Fan, are you so prosperous? You just became a fifth-rank official with a bigger sesame size and you dare to have a mistress?!" Mei Xiang was furious.

There were many pedestrians on the street, and Kang Fan was immediately confused by her. He couldn't figure out how she knew about this. He blushed and explained for a long time, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

Mei Xiang pulled him off the horse angrily, her willow eyebrows stood up, her almond-shaped eyes widened: "You can give them to Yu Hao and send them back now. If you don't agree, I will die for you right now!" After saying that, she ran into the hospital to get them.

She took out a gleaming scalpel and pointed it at her white and tender neck. Judging from her expression, it seemed like she was going to do it for real!

Kang Fan was so frightened that he stretched out his hand to grab the knife. Mei Xiang suddenly took a few steps back, trying to cut her off. Kang Fan quickly stopped and stood there hurriedly waving his hands, "Okay, okay, aunt, I'll send it back right now.

Send it back now!" After saying that, he shouted to the driver: "Send it back quickly, send it back quickly!"

The coachman was stunned for a moment, then he understood immediately and drove the carriage back in a hurry. The two Jiangnan women sitting in the car now poked their heads out of the car window to see what was going on, and their youthful faces flashed past.

"Okay, aunt, is this okay?" Kang Fan was almost crying.

Mei Xiang turned around and smiled, "You are a stupid soldier, I don't dare not agree to it even if I ask you!"

The people watching around burst into laughter. Kang Fan just wiped the sweat from his forehead, his heart still beating wildly. But Mei Xiang turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Kang Fan suddenly felt very aggrieved and shouted behind her: "Auntie, I don't even have a wife yet, how can I be accused of 'raising a mistress'?!"

The next day, this farce spread in the county town, and Mr. Kang's reputation for being afraid of his wife spread like wildfire. And Yu Hao told Kang Fan that the person who leaked the secret was his wife.

"My lady, you are really quick with your mouth and legs!" Kang Fan said helplessly.

Yu Hao was also scolded by Mei Xiang for finding a maid for Kang Fan. He was humiliated and complained endlessly. At this time, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, "Please consider your own affairs. As a brother, I really can't help you."

!”

Mei Xiang didn't ignore Kang Fan. In the last few days of the twelfth lunar month, she brought several female classmates to the military camp almost every day, helped Kang Fan clean up his house, cooked a lot of delicious food for him, posted couplets, and

I put new paper-cut window grilles and hung lanterns, and the yard suddenly had a New Year atmosphere.

After the Spring Festival came, everyone happily spent the first year in the industrial park. They stayed up late together to cook New Year's Eve dinner and ate it happily. On the first day of the new year, they were invited by the He family to eat.

After staying for a day, and then staying at Yu Hao's house for another day, everyone parted ways on the third day of the Lunar New Year. After Donovan said goodbye to everyone with his three companions, he went to Europe and the United States to prepare for the next step of industrial development.

The plan was gone. Mei Xiang did not return to the hospital, but followed Kang Fan back to the military camp.

"Spy on me?" Kang Fan asked with a smile.

Mei Xiang smiled and said: "How can I spy on you when you have legs? It depends on how conscious you are."

"If you can clean up my house every day, I will definitely not look for a maid again." Kang Fan said.

Mei Xiang sneered, "Humph, I am a beauty and a top student in a medical university. How can I cook, wash and clean the house for others? You think so!"

Kang Fan lied: "You said it yourself. Cooking, laundry, and housekeeping are all three things. I won't ask you for more."

"Who said you have to do these things?" Mei Xiang said stubbornly.

Kang Fan ignored her and just rode the red rabbit forward.

Mei Xiang shouted from behind: "Kang Fan, why don't I promise you? Are you leaving me here to feed the wolves?"

Kang Fan turned back with a smirk on his face, and leaned over the horse to look at Mei Xiang, "That's right, if such a delicate, juicy and good girl like you is really eaten by a wolf, the wolf that eats you will also be eaten by a wolf.

You will attain enlightenment and become an immortal."

Mei Xiang narrowed her eyes and smiled innocently, "Then you, a stupid soldier, don't want to become an immortal?"

Kang Fan smiled noncommittally, stretched out his hand to pull Meixiang onto Chitu, let her sit in front of him, hugged her tightly with one hand and patted Chitu's buttocks with the other. Chitu trotted slowly for a while with his head held high and understanding.

, and then slowly began to accelerate, and after a while, she spread her hooves and walked as fast as flying. Mei Xiang screamed repeatedly, turned around and hugged Kang Fan's neck tightly, closing her eyes tightly in fear.

Returning to the military camp, the officer responsible for guarding the camp gate tonight was once a member of the Blue Demon team and knew Mei Xiang. He hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to salute: "My subordinates, please give your regards to Mrs. Kang."

Mei Xiang turned to look at Kang Fan. Kang Fan deliberately turned his head away. Mei Xiang punched Kang Fan angrily. Kang Fan screamed in pain.

"Let you pretend not to hear!" Mei Xiang said bitterly.

All the officers and soldiers in front of the camp gate covered their mouths and snickered.

When he returned to his residence, some officers and soldiers had already burned the brazier in the hall. The bright red charcoal in the brazier made people feel warm when they saw it. Kang Fan put the luggage that Mei Xiang had brought on the table. Mei Xiang came over, opened it, and put it away. Kang Fan

Fan took a look and saw that they were all Mei Xiang's personal belongings, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: It seemed that she was planning to stay here permanently.

Mei Xiang glanced at Kang Fan and said angrily: "In order for you to be a good person, I have no choice but to wrong myself."

Kang Fan muttered softly: "I don't know who is wronged!"

When Mei Xiang heard this, she immediately got a fierce look on her face. Kang Fan hurriedly ran away and took the basin to wash up.

After that, Mei Xiang and Kang Fan lived the innocent brother and sister life they had when they first went to He Shui Chang's house, eating and living together. The meals and clothes made by Mei Xiang were as exquisite and memorable as her people.

, Kang Fan really liked it. After the annual leave, in order to make it easier for Mei Xiang to commute to work, Kang Fan specially prepared a carriage for Mei Xiang, and the officers and soldiers of the cavalry regiment were responsible for picking her up. In this way, Mei Xiang went to work in the county hospital every day and returned home to the military camp after work.

It's faster and more comfortable.
