"According to the rules of the imperial court, no matter what, if someone plays, someone will always be sent to investigate. Lord Yuan, do you know who to send? ”

Xu Shichang is commensurate with Yuan Shikai's brothers most of the time in private, and when there are people, he still has to pay attention to etiquette.

"It's Lord Rong Lurong, the secretary of the military department." Yuan Shikai replied.

"That's great, if you come to a civil official, it's a lot of trouble."

Yuan Shikai looked at Xu Shichang, and thought in his heart that he was really his brother in life and death, and the hero saw the same thing.

"But, no matter what, we're going to have to be seriously prepared." Xu Shichang swept the people in the room.

So they began to consult together. There is a lot of power in many people, there are many ideas in many people, and soon a complete response plan will come out.

When Rong Lu brought people to the barracks, he already knew about it.

It was the time of drill, and all branches of the army were drilling, but it was much more neat and majestic than every day.

Rong Lu took people to Yuan Shikai's camp, but Yuan Shikai was not there.

The guards said that this was the training time, and our Lord Yuan would not be in the camp at this time. There are no special circumstances, he is the first to go to the training ground every day.

The guards were articulate and particularly shrewd, "My lords, I'm going to inform us Lord Yuan now." However, I would like to ask the adults to wait a little longer, the training ground is so big, we Lord Yuan go around every day, I don't know where he is now. ”

The guards were just about to leave, but Rong Lu shouted: "No need, take us directly to the playground." ”

Yuan Shikai has been training the new army here for half a year, and he has not yet been here as the secretary of the military department, so Rong Lu wants to see the drill first.

To go to the training ground, there is still a long way to go, Rong Lu casually asked the guards: "Do you owe pay here?" ”

"My lord, to be honest, we sometimes owe money here."

"Why are you owed?" Rong Lu's face was not good-looking.

"Your Excellency! Why do I owe pay, how do I know if I am a soldier? You have to ask us Lord Yuan. I don't know anything else, I just know that at this time, our Lord Yuan is the most anxious, and his mouth is full of foam. Running around all day, kowtowing everywhere and begging for help. There were several times when the money was not enough, and our Lord Yuan even took out his salary and put it on first. ”

Rong Lu lowered his voice: "Young man, do you know how much military salary you pay every month?" ”

"My lord, why don't you know? We all know here, and there is nothing we don't know. The soldier replied.

"Young man, are you enough?"

Rong Lu looked left and right, and his voice was lowered.

"My lord, there won't be one child less. Who dares in this place? Our Lord Yuan is staring at it! Who would dare to deduct it? Don't want to die? ”

Rong Lu was relaxed for a while. After taking this errand, he has been very entangled and apprehensive. Who in the court doesn't know? He strongly advocated that Yuan Shikai train the new army, and he did not say much about it.

The imperial court has invested so much money to build this new army of 7,000 people, what if something happens to Yuan Shikai? Where to put your face is still a trivial matter, the companion is like a tiger, if you don't do it well, you can't be implicated!

It is very common to withhold military salaries, and it is also a big deal to be caught.

It seems that there is no need for this guard to make up nonsense. You can't hold the fire in the paper, don't you know if you ask a few more soldiers? Yu Shi Hu Jinggui participated in the impeachment of Yuan Shikai and looked at it carefully, except for deducting military salaries, there is a lot of room for other things, the so-called can be big or small.

Speaking from the heart, he really didn't want Yuan Shikai to have an accident, besides, the relationship between the two was not bad.

Before they could reach the training ground, several people were stunned.

Is this in China? Does China have such an army? Yuan Shikai's small station training is half a year, can he create such a miracle? Not to mention Rong Lu, an insider, this secretary of the military department, the eyes of the few civilian officials who came with Rong Lu are not enough.

These people have patronized and watched the excitement, and they have forgotten what they are doing here.

The guard's eyes were quick, and he said to Rong Lu: "My lord, is our Lord Yuan in the artillery team?" Look, right there. ”

The guards don't know what kind of official Rong Lu is? But he can see that Ronglu is the biggest official here, and he has the final say here.

Yuan Shikai also saw the people here, and was running over here.

"Lord Rong,...... Ladies and gentlemen,...... I don't know ...... you guys Come on! …… How can you get ...... Pick up at the gate. ”

Yuan Shikai ran in a hurry, out of breath. As he spoke, he turned to the guard: "Yuan San, you ...... You...... How can you do it, why don't you come to me quickly. ”

"No, Lord Yuan, no." Yuan San looked at Rong Lu.

"Lord Yuan, don't blame him, I didn't let him call you." Rong Lu hurriedly came out to play a round.

"This time, for the sake of Lord Rong speaking for you, I won't pursue you."

Yuan Shikai reprimanded Yuan San angrily, but Yuan San admitted his mistake vigorously, both of them can be actors, and their acting skills are good.

When Yuan Shikai's breathing became more even, Rong Lu called Yuan Shikai aside and told him about his intention to bring these people.

Yuan Shikai hurriedly waved his hand: "Lord Rong, this can't be helped, the lower officials are to be avoided, who are you adults looking for, I will send someone to find it immediately." ”

Rong Lu said nonchalantly: "Lord Yuan, what are you talking about?" I'd like to hear what you have to say first. ”

Yuan Shikai was very moved, "Lord Rong can give Xia Guan the opportunity to defend, and Xia Guan is really grateful." ”

"Lord Yuan, what is the relationship between us? Don't be too polite. ”

Rong Lu patted Yuan Shikai on the shoulder, and his voice was very small.

"Lord Rong, then I'll take everyone back to the camp?" Yuan Shikai was still honestly afraid.

"Don't worry, should we all take a look at the training first? Let Lord Yuan explain to us, how are you adults? Rong Lu turned to the few people who had come with him and raised his voice.

Of course, several people agreed, which Yuan Shikai had long expected.

Without Yuan Shikai's explanation, several people watched it lively. Listening to Yuan Shikai's explanation, that is the gatekeeper.

A few people have opened their eyes and gained knowledge. waited until they returned to Yuan Shikai's tent, and everyone seemed to remember what they were doing.

Rong Lu and his entourage stayed at the small station for three days, and Yuan Shikai waited for him every day.

The results of the investigation are: Hu Jinggui's participation in the impeachment of Yuan Shikai is basically a blow to the wind, and some things are not for nothing, but the plot is not as mentioned by the impeachment.

When a few people went back, Rong Lu confessed to Chen Bianlong, an accompanying staff, saying that Yuan Shikai "This person must be preserved in order to have a future effect."

When Chen Changlong wrote the recital, because Yuan Shikai had indeed killed the people selling vegetables outside the camp gate, Hu Jinggui's performance was not all untrue, and proposed that the case should be dealt with in the lower part.

Rong Lu resolutely opposed: "Once the ministry has discussed, the lightest should be withdrawn." This army has been established, and it is difficult to get started, so it is better to beg Engu to follow the leniency, and still strictly and seriously practice to encourage the future. ”

The final result ended with a repetition of "no evidence" and a request for the imperial court to "have no arguments".

Not only that, Rong Lu gave a special lecture on the achievements of Yuan Shikai and the small station training at every opportunity.

In the end, Yuan Shikai's small station was turned into a scenic spot, and it almost became the honor guard of the imperial court. If you think of it, you will go and visit it.

Emperor Guangxu went several times and praised him every time he came back.

This one also said, that one also boasted, and said that Lafayette's heart was alive, and she asked Rong Lu to accompany her to the small station to have a look.

repeatedly told Rong Lu that she couldn't say hello in advance, she must make a surprise attack and see the real situation.

Rong Lu didn't care how he assured him, but Yuan Shikai still made preparations in advance.

The result is a great joy for the dragon. Yuan Shikai was once again blessed by misfortune. In 1897, Yuan Shikai was promoted to the rank of direct subordinate and procurator because of his meritorious service in military training, and he was still in charge of training troops at small stations, but the officers were much larger.

All the things here, including the conversation between Rong Lu and his entourage about Yuan Shikai's impeachment, somehow happened, all reached Yuan Shikai's ears in their original form. Yuan Shikai also became more and more grateful to Rong Lu and more attached to Rong Lu. The relationship between the two people is also on a higher level.

Ruan Zhongshu, who hooked up Yuan Shikai and Li Lianying, yes, is the friend that Yuan Shikai met by chance on the trip, and now he is also under Yuan Shikai's command. It is the copywriter of the Military Affairs Department, that is, the secretary who is often called, and it is a civilian official.

Because of the needs of work, and because of the special relationship with Yuan Shikai, he often went in and out of Yuan Shikai's camp. Talking to Yuan Shikai is also very casual, and both sides seem to be very used to this.

Although Ruan Zhongshu is a scholar, he is romantic, and in a brothel in Tianjin, he took a fancy to a prostitute named Xiaoyu. The two had a relationship, and Ruan Zhongshu wanted to buy Xiaoyu as a concubine.

On this day, he came to Yuan Shikai to tell him about it, on the one hand, he had to tell his friends about good things. On the other hand, the money on hand is still poor, so I have to borrow some from Yuan Shikai.

When Ruan Zhongshu entered Yuan Shikai's tent, Yuan Shikai was talking with several people. Knowing that what they were talking about was not a matter of importance, and that their own affairs were not unsightly, Ruan Zhongshu interrupted them and said his own business.

Who knew that Ruan Zhongshu had just finished talking about Xiaoyu, and before he could say anything about borrowing money from Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai was already furious and reprimanded Ruan Zhongshu in front of those people.
