Feng Guozhang's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Since you set foot in this barracks, you are a soldier of the new army, and you have to obey military law, what else is there to say!" What is the use of military law if it is not enforced? Don't blame me, for the sake of the discipline of the whole army, you can only consider yourself unlucky. As he spoke, he drew the bayonet from the sheriff and stabbed the recruit in the heart.

Feng Guozhang pulled out the bayonet, and blood spurted out along the bayonet, splashing Feng Guozhang's body and face. The soldier then collapsed like a mess of mud.

The soldiers were shocked, all of them were frightened, and they quickly closed their eyes, not daring to look at this bloody scene again.

At dawn the next day, the trumpet sounded, the recruits quickly got up, folded the quilts, and then ran out of the barracks, and the officers began to roll call, and then it was the running exercise, and after the exercise, the recruits were already sweating profusely, and then it was the team exercise. The team drills were all German, and the recruits had no strength in their legs, and when they lifted them, they wanted to put them down quickly. In order to correct these movements, the German instructors asked the recruits to lift their legs, but they were not allowed to let them go, and then corrected the movements one by one, until the recruits were so tired that they were dead and miserable. The German instructors didn't care about this, and tossed these New Army soldiers to death.

After breakfast, and then the real guns were issued, the officer first talked about the essentials of shooting, what is a line at three points, what ballistics, what wind direction, and the explanation is very detailed and standardized. The soldiers then practiced aiming, shooting empty guns, practicing aiming and shooting for an hour, and then practicing stabbing and fighting. Before practicing, the German instructor explained and demonstrated first, and then corrected one action at a time. In the afternoon, the main thing is to practice offensive and defense, when attacking, mainly to practice offensive formations and various tactics, and when defending, mainly to build various fortifications and how to avoid enemy artillery fire when defending.

At dinner, Gongren called Wang Dayan and several backbones together. Gong Ren looked at Wang Dayan who was so tired that he didn't have a little energy, and asked with a smile: "How is it, can you still eat?" ”

Wang Dayan scolded: "This is what people suffer, if I knew this, I wouldn't come!" Li Si was also full of complaints: "I really can't stand it, take a chance, and smear oil under your feet as soon as possible - let's slip away!" Zhang San scolded: "I can't stand it for a day, it's better to exchange with Xing Tiangui, let me watch the house at home, and let him suffer this foreign crime." ”

Gong Ren comforted everyone and said, "Everyone should bear with it, so that we can train elite soldiers." It turns out that we are all toads in the well, I haven't seen much of the sky, but when I see it today, I have indeed seen the world, if Yuan Shikai is so trained, the trained soldiers are indeed extraordinary. Now, let's not forget our mission? ”

Wang Dayan said: "Don't you say that I forgot, isn't it just that everyone makes two or three friends." Li Si and Zhang San all nodded.

When I lay down in bed at night, the recruits were so tired that they didn't want to move.

Some of the recruits wanted to escape, but the sentries had already been arranged at the entrance of the barracks, waiting for the fleeing soldiers. On the first day, two deserters were shot, and on the second day, no one dared to run away.

After a few days of military training, Gong Ren was called to the office by Feng Guozhang to rewrite various training drills. Gong Ren looked at the "Provisional Rules for the Playground", "Rules for Drills", "Shooting Method", "General Supervision and Exercise", as well as the regulations for examinations, attendance, performance appraisals, rewards, punishments, and proofreading, and then looked at the "Daily Class Schedule" in winter, spring, summer and autumn. After some thought, Gong Ren made some revisions to the inappropriate places, and then handed them to Feng Guozhang for his approval.

The recruits went through a period of training, and after two months, Feng Guozhang thought that the training was almost done, so he incorporated the recruits into the ranks of veterans. Wang Dayan, Li Si and Zhang San were still appointed as the head of the shed, with 14 people in each shed.

When it came to the day of the salary, this was another test of public tenacity, because Yuan Shikai was afraid that the grain and salary officials would deduct military salaries or the officers would embezzle military salaries, so Yuan Shikai had to be present in person to supervise the payment of salaries.

There were rows of soldiers standing below, some officers were standing in front, and Yuan Shikai was fully armed, carrying a foreign knife and a pistol on his belt, monitoring the progress of the payout. When the first time he was paid, when he read the name of the public soldier, Yuan Shikai was slightly stunned, feeling that this name was the same as a name of his own army, and he couldn't help but feel funny, but he wanted to have a good look at this soldier called the public soldier. Coincidentally, at this time, a junior officer came to him to report to work, and the matter was rushed. When the second time the salary was paid, Gong Ren walked in front of Yuan Shikai with his head down, although he was wearing the same military uniform, with the same black face, the appearance of the soldier and the soldier was almost the same, but Yuan Shikai still felt that this person was a little familiar, and wanted to call him to ask about the situation, so he shouted: "This, come here, Ben Shuai will have a word with you." ”

Gong Ren also knew that Yuan Shikai was calling him, and what he was most worried about had happened, but at this moment, Gong Ren could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, keep his head down or continue to walk. Yuan Shikai thought that Gongren didn't hear it, and shouted again: "I called you, didn't you listen?" ”

Gong Ren thought badly, the hotter he was, the more cotton he was, the more thirsty he was, the more he ate salt, at this moment, he really didn't know what to do......

But at this moment, a soldier who had received a salary suddenly shouted loudly: "Report to the sir, this silver dollar is fake." ”

As soon as the soldier shouted, all the soldiers were a little commotion, and Yuan Shikai was also taken aback, and said to the soldier: "Who is making a noise, come and talk." ”

The soldier walked over, and Yuan Shikai asked, "What's your name?" ”

The soldier brought the five fingers of his right hand together, placed the middle finger of his index finger on the right side of his hat, raised his palm forward, raised his elbows to his eyebrows, kept the upper part of his body upright, and saluted with his eyes. He gave Yuan Shikai a standard military salute and said, "Report to Lord Yuan, my name is Ni Yingdian." ”

Yuan Shikai also returned a military salute and said, "Present the fake silver dollar you received." ”

Ni Yingdian presented a fake silver dollar. Yuan Shikai looked at the silver dollar, checked it in his hand, felt that the amount was wrong, and then put it in his teeth and bit it, this bite, he bit off the layer of silver skin, it turned out to be iron, and a layer of yellow and white skin was plated on the outside. Yuan Shikai smiled and asked Ni Yingdian: "Others don't necessarily know that it's fake, others didn't shout, why are you shouting?" ”

Ni Yingdian said: "I know that Lord Yuan hates corruption the most, and the most important reason why the Eight Banners Green Battalion was dismissed is corruption. We soldiers have such a silver dollar per month, and we all count on it to support our families and honor the elderly. ”

Yuan Shikai asked again: "Aren't you afraid that you will not pass through the chief, make random discussions, and ask you for your crimes?" ”

Ni Yingdian said: "I am exposing corruption, even if the chief gives me a punishment, I think it is also worth it." ”

Yuan Shikai shouted: "Well said! Then he asked the team officer next to him, "What is his current position?" The officer said, "It's just an ordinary soldier." Yuan Shikai said: "Immediately promoted to the head of the shed." ”

At this time, the commissariat knew that he had caused a big disaster, and he was so frightened that he trembled, but the human and material evidence was there, and he could only resign himself to fate.

Yuan Shikai called the law enforcement officer and asked: "I don't know what crime to be guilty of passing off fake as real and deducting military salary?" ”

The magistrate said: "Although the 18th beheader did not convict this crime, but he was derelict in his duty and committed a serious crime, according to law enforcement regulations, at least he was removed from his post and investigated and handed over to the law enforcement department for trial." How to investigate and deal with it is still up to the adults to decide. ”

Yuan Shikai said to the food officer: "Who else is involved, hurry up and recruit from the truth." ”

The grain officer bit out two more people, and all three of them stood in front of Yuan Shikai, waiting for punishment.

Yuan Shikai laughed coldly and said, "If the three of you can't do this little thing, what's the use of keeping it, if you don't kill you, how can the soldiers obey." Someone came, dragged out and beheaded. ”

The sheriff led a few law enforcement soldiers over and dragged the three officers away.

The commissariat was so frightened that he exclaimed loudly: "Please show mercy to your subordinates, please show mercy to your subordinates, we will definitely make up for our merits, we will definitely make up for our merits." ”

But Yuan Shikai didn't listen at all and waved his hand. After a while, the law enforcement soldiers raised their knives and fell, and the heads of the three officers fell to the ground.

Some of the soldiers were shocked, some were relieved.

Feng Guozhang lost no time in shouting: "Whose food are we eating?" The soldiers replied in unison: "Let's eat Yuan Gongbao (the Qing court named Yuan Shikai as the crown prince Shaobao, so it is called "Gongbao")! ”

Feng Guozhang shouted again: "Who should we contribute to? The soldiers replied in unison: "Let's help Yuan Gongbao!" ”

Yuan Shikai waved his hand and said to everyone: "Don't say that, don't say that, don't say that, we are eating the food of the court and contributing to the court." ”

After the paycheck, the team disbanded and rested. Yuan Shikai called Feng Guozhang to ask: "I have read all these drill codes you have modified, and the revisions are good!" ”

Feng Guozhang said: "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, I have really been too busy recently, so I found someone to change it on my behalf." ”

Yuan Shikai said: "Whoever changed it, also call over to see it." ”

Feng Guozhang said: "This person is called a public soldier, and he is a talent I have only recently discovered, and he is very good at military research. ”

Yuan Shikai said "hmm": "He's called a public soldier!" After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "It's this soldier, and I have a little imagination with a person I knew before, you call him over quickly, and I'll have a good talk with him." ”

Feng Guozhang agreed, and hurriedly called his officers to call the soldiers, but after looking for a while, he didn't find the soldiers. At this time, Yuan Shikai's staff officer came to Yuan Shikai and reported that there was something new. When Yuan Shikai was leaving, he said to Feng Guozhang: "The next time I come, I must meet this soldier." ”

In fact, Gong Ren was watching not far away, he saw Yuan Shikai and Feng Guozhang talking so intimately, and vaguely heard his name, where did he dare to show his face, he had already hidden. It wasn't until Yuan Shikai left that he breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking of a way to crack it.

After eating in the evening, with a little free time, Gong Ren found Ni Yingdian. The two of them usually meet often, although they don't talk much, but they are always a little familiar, at this time, Gong Ren took the initiative to go up to say hello: "Ni Pengchang, hello!" Hello! Today's salary, I really admire your courage to dare to shout what we all want to say, let Lord Yuan kill those three corrupt officials. ”

Ni Yingdian also arched his hand to Gong Ren and said, "Public staff officer, hello! Hello! Who doesn't know that General Manager Feng has a public staff officer under him, who can revise all kinds of drill codes. Now in our new army, these drill codes are all formulated by Lord Yuan and General Manager Feng's office, and there are a few people who can revise the drill code! It can be seen that the level is not below them, but only above them. In the future, Brother Taiwan will be able to make a big show, and when the time comes, don't forget your brother! ”

Although there was inevitably a bit of compliment in the words of the two, they also said the real reason why heroes cherish heroes. The two sat on the green lawn hand in hand, the more they pulled, the more speculative they became, the more speculative they were, and they even had some feelings of hating each other. After talking for a while, Gong Ren felt that Ni Yingdian was a straightforward person with excellent eloquence, and he could see from that eye that he had something to say, and there was no hypocrisy or contrived performance. Gong Ren thought, if we pull people like Ni Yingdian into the revolutionary ranks, wouldn't we have another chance of success?

Gong Ren said tentatively: "Chief Ni Peng, I don't know what you think of the current situation? ”

Ni Yingdian sighed and said: "I think that today's government, from the Westernization Movement to the First Sino-Japanese War, from the land reparation to the worship of foreign countries, is really corrupt and incompetent, difficult at home and abroad, there are no good officials, and there are no unscrupulous generals, and it is rotten to the end." Today's scholars have gone from reading on the bus to changing the law, which has caused a strong shock. The people are also thieves swarming, and the people are not able to make a living, either revolting here or making trouble there, demanding government reform, and the wave of rebellion against the government is rising wave after wave. Although Yuan Shikai has made some achievements in training troops at the small station, whether he can save the Qing Dynasty government, I think it is a drop in the bucket and useless. In my opinion, China cannot move forward without being reborn, and it cannot save the people from fire and water without overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, and there will be a major change in the next few decades. ”

Gong Ren asked tentatively: "May I ask Chief Ni Peng, in this great change, are you on the side of the government and hindering this great change, or are you on the side of the people and make China reborn and move forward?" ”

Ni Yingdian glanced at Gong Ren's eyes and said, "Public staff, to be honest, I don't want to be martyred for the Qing government." ”

When Gong Ren heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he scolded Ni Yingdian sharply: "Chief Ni Peng, why did you say such a rebellious thing, we are wearing the military uniform of the imperial court and eating the food of the imperial court, we should be loyal to the imperial court, how can we be ape and arrogant to the imperial court?" If that's the case, if I go to General Feng's office, you won't be on the ground. ”

Ni Yingdian was also furious, and scolded Gong Ren: "It turns out that I admire you a lot, thinking that you are decent and capable, I must have seen extraordinary things, but I didn't expect that you were also a stooge of the Qing court who was speculative and drilled." Sue it! Sue it! Sue to General Feng's office, my big deal is death, in order to overthrow this Manchurian government, there are more people who die, so what's the matter if I have one more! Twenty years later, I'm a good man again. ”

Gong Ren's face softened, and he suddenly grabbed Ni Yingdian's hand tightly and said: "Chief Ni Peng, I was joking with you just now, and now the personnel in the new army are complicated and the thinking is complicated, so I have no choice but to test Chief Ni Peng's position." Well, now, I have found a bosom friend again, you and I think, it's really the same as the hero! ”

Ni Yingdian was also shocked by Gongren in a cold sweat just now, and when he heard Gongren say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I observe you, let's be honest, it's not a day or two, I found that you have a city in your heart, and what you think in your heart is different from what you say in your mouth." Are you a revolutionary? ”

Gongren knew through other people's mouths that his original performance was also full of flaws, and he was indeed not an actor's material, and said: "It seems that it is really not easy to be an actor!" I didn't expect it to be seen through by you. Gong Ren thought that since this layer of window paper had been pierced, he would simply say it directly, and Gong Ren revealed his identity and said: "I am really accurate by you, I am really a revolutionary party." ”

This sub-turn Ni Yingdian was excited, he held Gong Ren's hand tightly and said: "I have long had this idea, I want to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish a new society, but I can't find the organization of the revolutionary party, now it's okay, I really found a like-minded friend." ”

When they were about to break up, Gong Ren said to Ni Yingdian: "There is something you want to ask for?" ”

Ni Yingdian said: "You and I are friends, if there is anything, you can just say it?" ”

Gong Ren said: "It turns out that I know Yuan Shikai, I really don't want him to recognize me, I want to ask Brother Ni for a favor?" ”

Ni Yingdian frowned and said, "I don't know how to help this favor?" ”

Gong Ren said: "Actually, it's very easy, that is, if Ni Peng is here, just like today, just disturb Yuan Shikai's audio-visual, so that he can't take care of me." ”

Ni Yingdian said: "I understand, but if I'm not there, it's hard to say." ”

The two also set a time to meet in the future and develop party affairs.

But it didn't take long for a live military exercise to mess everything up.
