Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor!
Chu Tianyun was secretly shocked. Yuan Shikai still went against the wishes of all classes and abolished the presidential system.
(Regarding the matter of Yuan Shikai claiming to be emperor, I specially checked it out. I feel that history can't just listen to history books... Yuan Shikai claiming to be emperor isn't necessarily a bad thing. There are many historical reasons...)
However, a moment later, it regained its calm. The news of Yuan Shikai declaring himself emperor had been spreading for a while, so it was only natural for everyone to hear it.
However, the future situation of Zhejiang Province was uncertain. Lu Yongxiang and Chu Yonglong controlled the eastern and northern parts of Zhejiang Province, while the other controlled the western and southern parts. In terms of military strength, Lu Yongxiang had three infantry divisions with nearly 17000 people, while Chu Yonglong had 9000 people. After all, Chu Yonglong's army was the Beiyang Army. Their equipment and combat strength far exceeded Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang Army. Once the two sides fought, it was still unknown who would win.
"Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and those warlords in the south are going to form some revolutionary army. Moreover, Yuan Datou's reign as emperor will definitely not last long!”
After all, Chu Tianyun had transmigrated. History would not lie. At most, it would be delayed or brought forward.
The Northern Army, which was originally able to unify China, did not expect Yuan Shikai to step down so early. After that, the Northern Army collapsed overnight.
"The Northern Warlords and the other warlords have nothing to do with us. No matter how fast the flames of war burn, Quzhou and Jinhua are not the center of the impact!”
"Today, I'm here to open my brothers 'eyes. With this big guy, dealing with the bandits of Dragon Snake Mountain and Earth Turtle Mountain will be as easy as chopping vegetables!”
Everyone's curiosity was piqued. What was hidden under the black cloth? It really made people curious.
Chu Tianyun walked closer and lifted the black cloth. Two wheels appeared in front of their eyes. They should be made of iron. Then, a hideous black cannon barrel suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Battalion Commander, this is a f * cking 75mm Italian mountain cannon!!”
Liu Yan's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the mountain cannon at a glance. As everyone knew, in China today, 75mm mountain cannons were extremely rare. In the army of some European countries, 105mm cannons were classified as heavy artillery. Therefore, when these people saw a mountain cannon, their eyes seemed to pop out. Their eyes were filled with greed.
"Damn it, our three infantry battalions actually have a mountain cannon, this is simply too extravagant!”
"To deal with those bandits, the entire mountain will probably shake three times with this cannon. Haha! Battalion Commander, this thing must cost a lot of money!”
"Battalion Commander, leave this Mountain Cannon to our 1st Battalion. We will definitely complete this mission!”
"Bullsh * t, Song Feijian. No matter what, you have to give this mountain cannon to my 2nd Battalion. My 2nd Battalion has just been established, so we need a mountain cannon to intimidate them!”
Chu Tianyun looked at the quarrels of the people below and could not help but feel gloomy. This was China, and this was the current national situation. Even a mountain cannon was extremely rare.
All of this strengthened Chu Tianyun's confidence. In the future, he would definitely produce 100mm, 120mm, and 150mm heavy artillery.
"This mountain cannon doesn't belong to anyone. Even if I were to give it to you, would anyone in the 1st and 2nd Battalions know how to use it? Every shot of this cannonball burned money. If it was not used at the critical moment, wouldn't it be a waste of money?”
Chu Tianyun's words made Song Feijian and Zhu Zhiwen stop arguing. That's right, even if they moved to their own camp, no one would use this big thing.
"Li Xiao Bai, listen up! From now on, you are appointed as the commander of the artillery company of the Shuiping Weir Guard Regiment. From now on, you will train the artillery and lay the foundation for the formation of the artillery battalion in the future!”
Artillery Battalion!
This was the deployment of a division of the Northern Army. If they could really gather three artillery battalions, it would be a huge help to Chu Tianyun's guards.
Li Xiao Bai, the captain of the artillery company chosen by Chu Tianyun, seemed to have a talent for firing cannons, especially when it came to adjusting the shooting elements, which surprised Chu Tianyun even more.
"Yes, regiment commander. I guarantee that I will complete the training mission!”
"Guards, listen up. Starting from 3 am tomorrow, the 2nd Battalion will transfer 150 people to the 1st Battalion to form a reinforced battalion of 500 people. At the same time, set up a simple defensive line in the eastern and southern areas of the weir!”
"Communication Company Commander Hu Xiangjun, listen up. From tomorrow onwards, report the news of Dragon Snake Mountain and Earth Turtle Mountain 24 hours a day. Once the bandits move, the reinforcement battalion will immediately move out!”
At this moment, the new commander of the 3rd Battalion, Liu Yan, was a little anxious. The 1st and 2nd Battalion both had missions, but the regiment commander did not assign any to the 3rd Battalion!
"Regiment commander, you have forgotten about the 3rd Battalion. Although it is a recruit camp, we are definitely not inferior to anyone in terms of the defensive work of the horizontal weir!”
Liu Yan enunciated each word clearly, his words unquestionable.
"Regiment commander, let the 3rd Battalion join the battle!”
"Liu Yan, in this war, the 3rd Battalion is only training. I don't want my soldiers to die in vain!”
"Guild Leader!"
"There's no need to think about it. The main task of the 3rd Battalion is to train. This is more important than killing a hundred bandits.”
Chu Tianyun immediately interrupted the 3rd Battalion's request to join the battle. Of course, the 3rd Battalion had only been established less than ten days ago. Those farmers might have just learned how to shoot, so how could they join the battle?
Furthermore, Chu Tianyun's reinforced battalion would not be able to deal with 1500 bandits.
"Everyone, pay attention. The next battle will be the first step for our guards to walk out of the horizontal weir. Only by letting the 11th division and the Zhejiang troops know our combat strength will they not dare to underestimate us.”
