"The title of the militia will be announced within a few days. I will send a group of young and strong people here at that time." Yang Yuanzhao said solemnly.

"Then I'm relieved. With these weapons, at most 3 months, I will bring you a qualified soldier with the target!"

"Beiyang Army Standard?" Yang Yuanzhao asked.

"How is that possible!" Wang Jinming said with a hint of laughter and crying: "Beiyang Army, that was trained for decades. I can train a qualified soldier, but I can't train an officer. If you can find an officer for me, it can be similar to Beiyang, and even with the support of weapons, it will be stronger than Beiyang Army!"

"Officer!" Yang Yuanzhao was puzzled. There is no military academy in China now. There is an officer training team in Beiyang. Other military academies have not been established. The famous Baoding Military Academy is still unknown. Speaking of this, Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help but think of the famous general who established the Baoding Military Academy. It seemed that he was in Germany now. If Habi pays attention to it in Germany, maybe he can bring him over.

"Brother Jin Ming, I'll leave the military affairs to you. Please put them on the shelf!"

Baotou is so big now, with one project to make money one after another. After the cotton textile factory was launched and put into production, many things could not be hidden. This place is not Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but Baotou, which is closer to the capital, is closer to the capital. God knows that there will be some ghosts and monsters, and they will have thought about it. In the past, there was no chance, but relying on the four great masters, the eight great masters and the Shanxi merchants can be escorted. Now, if you have the opportunity to join the regular army and have enough arms as a backing, how can you not develop? With the army, there is a cornerstone of stability.

It was November 1908 soon. Yang Yuanzhao knew very well what would happen in November 1908. He had been trying to catch up with time. Even if Wang Jinming didn't lead the team, he would strive to obtain the guidance of an armed force during this period. Wang Jinming came. With such 800 veterans as seeds, his plan to expand the army would be even bigger.

The Qing Dynasty was about to perish. A powerful figure with the most influential power in the late Qing Dynasty was about to die. On November 14, Emperor Guangxu passed away. One day later, Empress Dowager Cixi passed away, one day after another. Later generations speculated that there would be many stories among them. Yang Yuanzhao didn't care about them. Within one month, the two emperors and empresses both passed away, and the most chaotic moment of the Qing Dynasty was about to come. The last emperor, who was only a few years old, was about to take office, and the power fell into the hands of his father, Regent Zaifeng.

Zaifeng and Yuan Shikai have always been incompatible. After taking power, they quickly let Yuan Shikai break up. Yuan Shikai, who is powerful all over the world, was beaten back to his hometown in Xiangcheng, forming a huge power vacuum in the capital. The Beiyang Army's gaze could no longer be placed in the whole country. Even the revolutionaries put a large number of tentacles into the new army at this time. This is a huge opportunity. Baotou has armed forces and will not attract the attention of anyone.

Whether it was the Qing court or the central government, it would usher in a period of chaos. The Beiyang Army wanted Yuan Shikai to come back, and the Qing nobles always wanted to re-control the government affairs in the hands of the Han people. The contradictions between the two were irreconcilable. In the middle, in 1909, many chaos and even inconsistent orders would arise. When the strongest military organization Beiyang retreated, all kinds of political forces were active on this stage. Even a so-called democratic advisory bureau appeared in China. It was already a year later when everything stabilized.

This is probably the most rare and precious year. As long as you seize such a year, Baotou's development will be completely different from now. With Baotou's strength, the support of all-in-one aircraft, and 800 elite troops, Baotou's military strength will be expanded to a level that is unlikely to fight against Beiyang. Relying on logistics and Baotou's industrial system, if you fight a defensive battle, even if Beiyang puts all his strength into it, it may not be able to fight. This is Yang Yuanzhao's confidence and the foundation for the establishment of an industrial zone in the future.

After coming out of the military camp, the things are handed over to Wang Jinming. The suitable things are always arranged and managed by the suitable people. This is the way to manage. You have to get everything in a mess. This is not shrewd, but commanding randomly. Instead of spending effort, it is better to do the most critical things well.

After leaving the military camp, Yang Yuanzhao went to find Liu Shu. No matter what, there were a few days before the 14th and 15th. Even if Cixi and Guangxu passed away and the news reached Baotou, it was probably a few days later. This was the best time to obtain the qualification of the militia. It was not eye-catching, but also arranged for Wang Jinming and the others.

The affairs of the militia have always been given to Liu Shu by TOEFL. The previous project of growing wheat and synthesizing ammonia attracted most of Yang Yuanzhao's energy, so he did not pay attention to the militia. But now, Wang Jinming has arrived. Sometimes, it is common for a large landlord to raise hundreds of servants, but this time there are too many people, 800 people, who are fully armed elite soldiers. Without a militia as a name, it is difficult for people to doubt it.

"I heard that a group of soldiers are coming!" Liu Shu asked proactively when he saw Yang Yuanzhao. As the actual manager of Baoken Company, his news was still as informed as ever.

Yang Yuanzhao nodded. These soldiers did not intend to hide them from Liu Shu. Except for the officials of the Qing court, all shareholders and friends, he did not intend to hide them from them. It was also a promotion of cooperation. A person who had no strength but had wealth was a child holding gold nuggets in the downtown area. He had to let the child grow up. There was always something that was not useful about background or something.

"Yes!"

Liu Shu glanced at Yang Yuanzhao and asked, "Yuan Zhao was asking about the militia like me. It was done a few days ago, but I didn't give it to Yuanzhao because there was a chance. I was hesitating whether to tell you!"

"What opportunity? Is it related to militia?"

"It's not related to the militia, it's the Yellow River Patrol Battalion."

When Yang Yuanzhao was shocked, the patrol battalion was an old military system and belonged to the old army. The river patrol patrol was very autonomous and more important. The river affairs of the Yellow River were not as good as the Yangtze River. Because of the discontinuation of the downstream, it was cancelled a few years ago. Some people have been calling for establishment, but it has not been successful. The key is that the government has no money and cannot provide funds for the Huanghe patrol battalion, so it has been empty.

"Can you really get it?" Yang Yuanzhao said excitedly. He didn't expect that such a good thing would fall on his head.

"The military expenses can be raised by themselves, but they can be charged on the Yellow River." Liu Shu frowned and said. Huanghe Patrol Battalion is a good thing, and it is also a big addition to the caravans of the Yang family and others. The key is that the military expenses can be raised by themselves, so that he can consider it.

"It's okay, take it down and raise it yourself. I don't plan to ask the central government to allocate funds anyway." Yang Yuanzhao said excitedly. The drawings I got from Shanghai were not good, and it was too troublesome to build them. Small boats that cost thousands, tens of thousands, dozens of tons, and more than one hundred tons could be made casually. No matter how small the boat was, it was also a ship. It had a gunboat with a 75-105mm gun. On the Yellow River, it was simply a gate. Anyone who wanted to cross this gate would pay a huge price.

"It's not easy to get this off. What do I need to do?"

"I have to thank Hou Jinsheng for this. If he hadn't been connected with the Hou family, we would have been stuck in General Suiyuan. Fortunately, we don't have to pay the salary and funds for the General's Mansion, and pay 100,000 yuan a year." Liu Shu said: "Of course, this money is to be distributed to the entire General Suiyuan Mansion and to upward management points. However, if the patrol battalion can be established, the annual checkpoint income should be between 80,000 and 120,000 yuan!"

The level income of 80,000 to 120,000 is equivalent to taking an intermediate number. It cannot be said too much. Generally, the income is slightly tilted, or diligent, and it is normal to have two or three percent more. In this way, the income is between 20,000 and 30,000, which is a good job.

Yang Yuanzhao doesn't care whether it makes money or not, and even charges it. It is extremely difficult for others to hand over 100,000 taels a year. For Yang Yuanzhao, it is simply a slaughter. Any of the various factories in Baotou will receive a lot of goods. The cement factory has a production of 9,000 barrels a day, and two yuan per day is close to 20,000 yuan, and the gross profit margin is at least 40%, or even 50%. Because lime clay and even iron ore powder are rarely bought, they are all mined by ready-made resources, and all the costs are paid, machines, etc. The discount is included in the cost, and the profit is also amazing.

The flour mill is also a big money-making business in Baotou. It has turned all the wheat around Baotou into white flour, not to mention the more profitable cotton textile mill. These gave Yang Yuanzhao enough foundation, not to mention the business of Germany, the United States and tungsten, which is a foreign currency that can be converted into gold.

"Isn't it just one hundred thousand? I'll issue a bill of exchange and hand it over to General Suiyuan's mansion!"

"It's true that he is worthy of being Brother Yuan Zhao. He is so refreshing, so I'll go to Suiyuan today!"

"Can you do it today?" Yang Yuanzhao was delighted and asked afterwards.

"Of course, I was about to ask you before. If you agree, I will go to Suiyuan. Now that you have agreed, I can get you a letter of appointment from the patrol battalion!"

"Okay, go and do it, the money is not a problem."

A militia, a patrol battalion, a local armed force, and an official identity. Even if it is the old military system, it is considered a personnel within the system. With this foundation, when the new army in Shanxi is built, a little push will be taken down in one position. This is definitely a surprise. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the standard of 1,000 militia and 700 patrol battalion. This is the military strength of 1,700 people. A weaker standard is just so many.

Liu Shu was pushed out by the anxious Yang Yuanzhao. He shook his head with a wry smile, but without saying anything, he ran to the Weijia Piao No. 100,000 silver bill, and then took a carriage to Suiyuan. Now the cement road from Suiyuan to Baotou has been roughly connected. There is only a short section of road from Baotou to Suiyuan. You can't drive quickly. You can reach it in half a day at most.
