In this era, except for Li Mu, no one else has realized the value of the sports industry. Even if the National Auto Rally and Professional Football League have begun to show strong money-making ability, many people will not regard sports as a career.

Li Mu must know the value of the sports industry, or the value of the cultural and entertainment industry. Compared with the hard work of engaging in manufacturing, the money for cultural and entertainment is simply too easy to make. Look at the current scale of Chuntian Company, you will know how fast cultural and entertainment make money.

Of course, this money is not easy to make. Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang used to be poor in San Francisco. With Li Mu's protection, this would be a big move. Without Li Mu's support, Chuntian Company would not be able to defend even if it could open up the situation, and there would be no waste left to be swallowed by Rockefeller and others.

As the scale of the National Auto Rally and Professional Football League becomes larger and larger, Li Mu also needs someone to focus on this. In the past, the National Auto Rally and Professional Football League implemented a professional manager system. This system is not bad, but it is not caring enough. Li Mu wants to see if Mason can develop in the direction of management. If possible, it is best. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. It’s just an attempt.

Jimmy and the others were still very fast. When they first entered the Qing Dynasty, Jimmy and the others were careful and treated the Qing border defense force as an equal opponent.

Soon Jimmy and the others found that there was no need for this. To be honest, although mercenaries could not get on the table, in terms of personal technical and tactical abilities, even the regular American army was not as skillful as mercenaries, and the border guards of the Qing Dynasty were even less difficult. According to Jimmy, even the colonial army formed by the French in Annan was not as good as those of them.

This should be considered a retaliation by the Pacific Company, so Jimmy and the others started to clear out one by one from the outskirts that launched an attack on the immigration team. In just twenty days, Jimmy and the others broke through seven outs, most of which was spent on the road, and there was not even five hours in the real battle.

"The soldiers in the Qing Dynasty were very poor in training and their fighting will was not good. When we launched an attack, only a small number of people dared to resist. Most of them scattered, or surrendered on the spot. Their weapons and equipment were also very poor. Only a small number of people were equipped with single-shot rifles. Most of them were extremely backward. We even found some spears in their warehouses. As far as I saw, I suspected that they were not regular troops. If the regular troops of the Qing Dynasty were also at this level, then I would be confident that I would break the capital of the Qing Dynasty in one breath." Jimmy was very disdainful of the Qing army. Based on the situation he saw, Jimmy was very suspicious of how his father was defeated by the Qing army.

Strictly speaking, Jimmy is considered the second generation of Chinese. His father participated in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement thirty years ago. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement failed, Jimmy's father was sold to South America as a "piglet". Jimmy was born in South America.

Although he had never been to the Qing Dynasty, Jimmy heard his father mention the Qing army. Although the Qing army troops mentioned by his father were not very powerful, it was obvious that he had not yet fallen to the level that Jimmy saw.

This is born from distress and died from peace. In another time and space, the Qing Empire was compared with Japan. The arms race almost broke the Japanese government. Don’t worry about how powerful the Qing army’s combat effectiveness was. At least when the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing army’s equipment level was still very good. At that time, Japan used single-shot rifles. The Qing army had already equipped continuous rifles, and even Maxim. However, although the Qing army was in the predominant position, the Qing army was still retreating step by step on the battlefield, so equipment was never a problem.

At least not the main problem.

"This is just the Qing Dynasty's green camp troops, that is, the Chinese troops formed by the Qing government. Of course, their equipment cannot be very good, because the Qing government's rulers were worried that these troops would be used. The reason why they had no will to resist was because they were all foreign troops. Although they also had the obligation to fight for the country, they did not realize this." Li Mu knew what the reason for the Qing army's combat effectiveness was. This was a good thing. The weaker the combat effectiveness, the better.

At present, the most powerful troops in the Qing Dynasty were the Beiyang Fleet formed by Master Zhongtang. The Hunan Army, which was famous in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, had rapidly corrupted with the destruction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the speed of corruption was much faster than that of Master Zhongtang imagined. Perhaps the Qing government still had some troops with stronger combat effectiveness, but the Qing government would definitely not be willing to send those troops to the frontier. For the Qing rulers, protecting the capital was more important than guarding the frontier.

As for obligations, well, it is difficult to make the Qing green camp troops understand this. If a country without opening up the wisdom of the people, the most common behavior of the people is blind obedience. Li Mu has seen this a lot in this era.

Not only the Qing Dynasty, but the popularity of education in the United States is not high. So many people envy, jealous and hate the educational resources owned by Junma Affiliated School and Springfield Institute of Technology. This is why.

The situation in the Qing Dynasty and the United States is different. The popularity of education in the United States is not high because the United States is currently in a period of rapid expansion. Even if the U.S. government wants to popularize education, it will not be able to do so. This will change rapidly in the future. With the development of the United States' economy, it will not take long to see the U.S. education in the United States will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The Qing Dynasty was willing to degenerate, and even the Qing government deliberately suppressed the development of education in Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty has not yet suffered a large-scale war. If the Qing government was willing, it would probably be impossible to popularize education, but it is absolutely possible to expand the current education scale. Li Mu did not spend much money, so he built the Junma Affiliated School and the Springfield Institute of Technology. Lord Lafayette took out the money for the Yuanzi to invest in education. It would not take many years, and the education level of the Qing Dynasty could also undergo earth-shaking changes.

It’s just a fantasy. Will Lao Fu use the money from Xiu Yuanzi to invest in education?

Won't!

Therefore, the Qing government must be overthrown.

A very simple argumentation process.

"Compared with equipment and fighting will, the Qing army's organizational ability is not good. Their troops lack the vigilance they deserve. We attacked seven outposts in a row in twenty days, and all outposts were unprepared. It was understandable that they were not prepared when attacking the first outpost, but until we attacked the seventh outpost, they still had no defense. For an army, it was almost unimaginable." Jimmy paid great attention to the collection of information. Jimmy had been training mercenaries before and knew what Li Mu would do next.

Although the Qing government had no choice but to open the border ban to the Han people, the current Longxing land is still vast and sparsely populated. The border of Vladivostok is deserted within dozens of kilometers. The communication between the Qing outposts brought the greatest difficulties. The Qing army did not have the ability to equip every outpost with radio stations, and wired telegraphs are still rare now.

Of course, this also has something to do with Jimmy and his team's powerful combat. They raided seven outposts, and Jimmy and his team fought all the annihilation battles. In addition to killing the first outpost, the mercenaries did not even have the interest in killing people in the subsequent battles.

Of course, robbery still needs to be robbed. All the property of the seven outposts was looted. According to Li Mu's understanding of the Qing army, even the chief officers of the outposts would not report to the top at all. Of course, they should not attack immigration again in the future. The lesson this time has been very profound.

"Don't treat them as a real army. Except for a few elite troops, the Qing Dynasty's green camp was the farmers living in the barracks, and they were not used to fight themselves." This is not a belittlement. If the Qing Dynasty had not been defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing Dynasty would not have established a new army. Because of Li Mu, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it would have been a vicious cycle.

As the saying goes, "Getting one's mistakes will lead to wisdom." If the chasm is always before wisdom, if the Qing government does not suffer any losses, they will not change, and Li Mu will not give them the opportunity to change at all.

"Let's rest for a while, and there will be big actions in the spring." Li Mu did not intend to expand the war in Vladivostok. As Li Mu said, it was just a warning. As long as the Qing government did not interfere with Li Mu's immigration, Li Mu could allow the Qing government to survive for a while.

Since it was just a warning, it was enough to do this level. This time, the Zongli Yamen responded quickly and protested to the US Embassy in Qing Dynasty as quickly as possible, demanding that the US minister explain the attack in Vladivostok.

Look, the government that is so harsh and weak is already attacking, and it is just an explanation.

The response of the US minister is also very simple. It is OK to explain it, but it will be discussed after the US government investigates it.

This is a shirk. Vladivostok is thousands of miles away from Washington. The American minister must report to Washington first, and then Washington sent someone to investigate. After finding the results, he notified the American minister that he would probably circle the earth several times in this circle. It would be great if there would be a result next spring.

Li Mu was not in the mood to see the US government and the Qing government argued, nor did he stay in Vladivostok to watch the long-distance race. After Christmas, Li Mu went to Ryukyu and prepared to return to the United States.

"Don't you wait until you break through the capital of the Qing Dynasty before leaving?" Yan Shun thought Li Mu would wait until everything was settled before returning to the United States.

"It's meaningless. I have to avoid suspicion now. Chester sent me a telegram to explain the attack on the Qing Dynasty. Some of the calls were not clear in the telegram. So just go back to the United States to chat in person. This time you also know the combat effectiveness of the Qing army. There should be no problem. Just maintain the relationship with the local governor." Li Mu had nothing to worry about. The most combative troops of the Qing Dynasty had been transferred to Jiangnan. If the mercenaries could not even defeat the Green Battalions and the Eight Banners, they would not mention overthrowing the Qing government. Go back to the United States as soon as possible and be Henry's successor.
