With the assistance of Zhang Jingyun and the others, Chen Xuan formulated the training outline, rewards and punishments, as well as the management regulations for the escort of the merchant group.

The guards of the merchant group got up at half past six in the morning, and then warmed up with a 5,000-meter run, then had breakfast, and began basic training at eight o'clock, with a military posture for half an hour, and then began to train and stop the transfer method and martial arts training, as well as running and stepping, etc., the military salute also plagiarized the military salute of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, in Chen Xuan's view, the PLA is the most handsome army in the world, so naturally it will not let go of imitation.

Ten squads adopt a point system, Chen Xuan divides the training into countless details, how many points are marked in each detail, and the three squads at the bottom of the points ranking every day have to be punished, and the punishment methods are strange, such as being responsible for the next day's cooking, cleaning the barracks and toilets, and even helping the top three wash stinky socks, and the top three people also have corresponding rewards, such as extra meals, etc., the people in the escort group are all young men, and everyone has a competitive spirit, naturally no one wants to do these things that fall in the face, So the morale was invisibly boosted.

In the afternoon, it was cultural education, which was responsible for Zhang Jingyun, Bai Xunjian, and Li Luqing, Du Xin and Lu Xiaoyu also came to help, and the captains of each team also learned some words during this time, so they asked them to assist, and the literacy rate was also included in the assessment content, and the proportion was not small.

Ten squad leaders are not fixed, Chen Xuan promised, once a month, if someone's training performance exceeds the squad leader, then the squad leader will be automatically demoted, and the team leader's salary is 8 oceans, almost twice as much as the team members, so it also encourages the team members' self-motivation, and the team leader's sense of crisis also follows.

Chen Xuan's various construction concepts for the army made Zhang Jingyun and the three of them greatly admired, and strange ideas emerged one after another, a group of loose peasants who had just put down their hoes for a long time, and within a few days, they actually made Chen Xuan's training department look like an army, and they all thought that Chen Xuan had learned great skills in France, and Chen Xuan did not explain.

On this day, Steward Zhao sent someone to Dujia Village to tell Chen Xuan that two foreign devils came to Chen's house several times, saying that they were Chen Xuan's classmates, and Chen Qimei also came back from other places and had been looking for Chen Xuan, who seemed to be very dissatisfied with Chen Xuan.

Back at home, Chen Xuan went to see his second mother first.

"Xiao Xuan, is something wrong with you?"

"How come, Erniang, don't you think I'm good?"

"You're still lying to me, you haven't been home for half a month, and I also heard the sixth aunt say that something happened to your company, and several people died, and you yourself were injured, Xiaoxuan, do you still not treat Erniang as your own family? If you have anything to do, how will I explain it to your father and your mother in the future? ”

Aunt Du's eyes were red.

"Brother, in the days when you are not at home, there are a few people who are always hanging around our house, and they keep inquiring about your whereabouts!"

Eight or nine-year-old Xiao Chen Yu also said that Chen Xuan knew that he couldn't hide it, and it would really hurt his aunt's heart if he hid it any longer, so he gave Chen Yu a big ocean and asked him to take his sister Chen Xiaoyu out to play, and pick out something that could be said about what happened these days to tell his aunt, although he tried to say something slight, he still scared her so much.

"Then what can I do, Xiao Xuan, or we won't open this company, the factory will burn down, let's go back to the countryside and go to Chuansha, where is there a business and put your life into it?"

"Erniang, you don't have to worry about me, I already have a solution, I am also about to discuss some things with you, now you have seen the chaos in Shanghai, this world, not we can choose, now Xiao Yu is getting older, it is a good time to study, I want to send you and Xiao Yu to the United States, so that Xiao Yu and his sister can receive a good education, and they will be able to get ahead in the future, you can rest assured, my good friend Gu Weijun, you know, he is in the United States, you will take care of you in the past, And it's much safer in the U.S. than at home. ”

"Isn't it too early to go abroad? When your father was alive, he also said that he would send Xiao Yu and them abroad, but Xiao Yu and they are still young, should they wait until they grow up? ”

"Erniang, I have also contacted some people of insight in Shanghai, I am afraid that within three or two years, the country will be in chaos, and then there will be chaos, and it will be troublesome to go abroad, and although Xiao Yu is not very old, he has been studying at St. John's, and foreign languages are also okay, and now he will not fall too far behind when he goes out to study."

"But how can the family have any money now?"

Chen Xuan was a little ashamed, there was too little communication with his family, and the family didn't know what he was doing.

"Don't worry, Erniang, money is not a problem, I have made some money recently, this is 3,000 oceans, you collect it first, and when you get there, I will send you some more."

"Okay, then."

Du Shi knew that if he stayed in Shanghai, not only could he not give Chen Xuan any help, but might drag Chen Xuan down, even if he was a little unwilling, he agreed.

After having lunch with his family and bringing the Browning pistol brought back from Europe, Chen Xuan took Xiao Er and Xiao Qi out to take a carriage to the French Concession, and inquired in front of the consulate, Andre was really there, and the guards at the door saw that Chen Xuan spoke fluent French and was looking for his own head, so he naturally did not dare to make trouble.

"Hey, my friend, where have you been lately, I've been looking for you several times?"

Andre hugged a bear and grinned again, and the wound almost cracked.

"Stop, stop! I said big bear, but the little master was injured, and I can't stand your efforts like this. ”

"Hurt? You weren't injured in the army? Where have you been to the war, haven't you heard that China is at war recently? ”

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's go, find a place to drink."

"Wait, little Todd is here too, let's call him along!"

"Little Todd, that German, why did he come to China?"

Chen Xuan then remembered that Steward Zhao sent someone to say that there were two foreign devils looking for him, one was Andre, and the other should be Xiao Todd, who studied together in Saint-Cyr.

"Yes, it's that scoundrel, his family has a trading house in Asia, he is escorting a batch of goods to Shanghai this time, thanks to you coming, otherwise he will go back in two days."

"Okay, then call him, let's have a drink today!"

"And the Chinese food you mentioned!"

"Yours are indispensable."

The two went to the German Drew foreign company to find Xiao Todd, and when the three of them met, they were naturally happy again, and they went to find a distinctive Chinese restaurant together.

"Chen, I heard that you were injured, what's going on?"

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Todd asked, and Chen Xuan also told him about his recent experience.

"What?"

The two asked in unison.

"You were almost beaten to death by a group of hooligans, we Saint-Cyr don't train students like this!"

"Companion reading, companion reading! I'm a companion! ”

"Hell companion, the results of the graduation exam you took last time have come down, the third place in the school, higher than the ranking of me and Little Todd, so it's still a companion, how many people in Saint-Cyr are embarrassed to graduate, the decision of the Senate has come down, make an exception to graduate you, I brought your certificate, and I will go to the consulate to get it!"

"Ahh

Chen Xuanleng, this is really an unexpected joy, the things that never reported hope are now happy from the sky, and in the future, you can generously say that you are a student of Saint-Cyr's graduation.

"What's the matter, do you need me to help you, I've heard that the biggest hooligan leader in Shanghai is called Huang, he is also the chief inspector of our French Concession, and he gave me more than a dozen gold bars a few days ago, what I said, he didn't dare not listen!"

"No, I can solve it myself, I was just careless last time and was attacked by someone else."

"As a soldier, you actually have the face to say that you were attacked? And it was attacked by hooligans! ”

Little Todd laughed, and Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel hot, it was really embarrassing that an outstanding officer from the dignified Saint Cyr would be attacked by hooligans.

"Don't make fun of me, my old friend, I was guarded by more than a dozen factories, surrounded and beaten by four or five hundred hooligans, and now it is God blessed to be able to stand here."

"Is that all?"

Andre seemed to feel that Chen Xuan, an officer like Chen Xuan, was very dissatisfied with the way the ruffians bowed their heads.

"How can it be just like that, I have already recruited a company of troops, wait for me to train for a few more days, if I don't destroy these bastards, how can I get this evil breath of mine! It's just that I've been trying to find a gun lately, by the way, do you have any way? ”

"What? Are you looking for a gun? ”

Little Todd screamed.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Xuan asked suspiciously.

"Whew! God, I am saved, Amen! ”

It turned out that Xiao Todd heard that the Qing State was training a new army, so he raised some money to buy some weapons in the arsenal and went to China, wanting to earn some extra money while he had not yet gone to the army.

"How many cargoes do you have?"

"500 **** rifles, 100 Mauser pistols, 5 Makqin and the corresponding bullets, two Grusen 37 anti-aircraft guns and a bullet production line, all brand new, I spent 15,000 oceans worth marks to get these equipment, if I can't sell it, I'm going bankrupt! Chen, if you want it, I'll give it all to you at cost price. ”
