Chapter 9: The Two Heavens of Ice and Fire

On the colonel field of the new army, more than 500 people stood as straight as a flag gun. The eyes of the infantry bayonets were dizzy, the horses of the horse artillery battalion were spewing hot air from their noses, their hooves were restlessly digging the dirt under their feet, the one-pound Grusen guns and the twelve-pound Krupp cannons were lined up, and the bodies of the guns that had just been wiped off the sludge glowed with a faint blue light.

The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty started from the Wuwei Army back then, and it was 110,000 when it came to fighting, but if you want to say that the army is neat and beautiful, even the foreigners are not as good as our Qing Dynasty. When the officers of Western countries visited the Wuwei Army, they all thought that this was a rare elite soldier in the world, but as a result, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army showed its cowardice as soon as it came.

"Boss Kuang, isn't the situation right? The bullets of the brothers just now were confiscated! You can't do anything today with your bare hands! In the crowd, Gu Mazi gently touched Kuang Haishan with his shoulder, and glanced at Nunu in the distance.

Kuang Haishan followed Gu Mazi's gaze and looked into the distance, on the battlements outside the colonel, there was a faint figure shaking, and there were flashes of bayonets in the sun. In the robe of the horse artillery battalion on the side, those few Saidian fast guns and Green fast guns that were regarded as treasures were gone! And in the team, several henchmen and cronies who led He Zudao were also gone!

Kuang Haishan, who has always been unsmiling, his face tightened: "Inform the brothers, don't act rashly, especially Lu Kai, a bastard!" ”

Gu Mazi glanced at a soldier beside him, then turned his left hand down, curled up his big finger, and made a strange gesture.

The gesture gradually came through the crowd, and many people had a look of regret on their faces.

Not far from him, Lu Kai was wearing a well-fitting German-style military uniform, with a calfskin armed belt that killed the waist thinly, showing a toned inverted triangle, and standing with the handle of a foreign knife in his hand, looking heroic.

Kuang Haishan frowned, Lu Kai's military uniform pocket was bulging, didn't this guy bring the bomb? This guy doesn't talk for four or six in normal times, and he seems to be a lazy and scoundrel, but once he makes up his mind, he is a strong breed that ten cows can't pull back!

Gu Mazi moved quietly in the crowd, and was unexpectedly whipped by someone: "What are you messing with?" Don't talk to each other! Adults are coming soon! ”

Gu Mazi gasped, the whip was strong, and a swollen mark immediately appeared on his shoulder. He glanced at Lu Kai, who was not far away. Lu Kai's face was light and light, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

The guards at the gate suddenly raised their guns over their heads, and the officers raised them to their chests and gave a new military salute. The new army, which was a little lazy in the sun, gasped at the same time.

Surrounded by He Guandao and a group of pro-soldiers, a handsome young man of about the same age as them, dressed in military uniform, rode a Western-headed high-headed horse like a whirlwind across the gate and rushed directly into the school field.

The smoke and dust rolled up by more than a dozen fast horses made the warm autumn sun a little more solemn!

In an instant, Chai Dongliang and the others had already arrived near the rostrum of the university field, and a sentry officer was kicking the upside down with a foreign knife in his hand, and when he got closer, he raised the knife to his chest with one hand, and the back of the knife was pressed against the bridge of his nose and said loudly: "The infantry battalion and horse artillery battalion of the Anhui New Army have been assembled!" Adult, please review it! ”

Chai Dongliang led his group around the school field twice, and the sound of horses' hooves billowed with smoke and dust, which made these new soldiers feel frightened, and they didn't know what kind of demon moth this adult wearing a new military uniform and shiny riding boots was going to produce! And He Guandao also did not speak for the first time, but just galloped with Chai Dongliang, you must know that every time the imperial court sent someone to review the new army, He Zudao had to sing the official rank with the male duck in his voice. And to the surprise of the new officers and soldiers, there were only a few personal soldiers Goshha around this lord, but he did not play the official rank card.

You must know that even if the state and county officials travel, they must play a slip of official title cards such as "Jinshi and the first in a certain year" and "Liupin Huangtang".

Two laps later, Chai Dongliang held the reins, his heart was secretly refreshed, this was the first time in his life to ride this kind of high-headed horse, he had also ridden a horse in Inner Mongolia before, but the Mongolian horse was low and slow, and he always felt that it was not enjoyable!

Chai Da was addicted, but Kuang Haishan and other new officers and soldiers who were preparing to start an incident felt cold sweat.

One by one, the soldiers of the new army stood more straight, for fear of being picked out, and they peeked at the little white-faced adult, and could not figure out who this holy person was. Chai Dongliang was very satisfied with everything in front of him, and the Wang Baqi that he deliberately exuded obviously played a certain role... It's just that the collar of this military uniform is too aggrieved, and he feels that his breathing is restricted.

"Disband, eat!"

These new soldiers are even more dumbfounded, this adult doesn't give speeches, doesn't give rewards, and doesn't review performances, but he actually opens his mouth to eat!

The new army had only a quarter of an hour to eat, and everyone was silent, except for the sound of chewing and the crunch of chopsticks hitting porcelain bowls.

Chai Dongliang and He Zudao also ate with them, eating the same brown rice and dried radish, he didn't speak, it seemed that the food was very sweet, but it was bitter He Guandao and others, these guys are used to eating good food, eating meat is like bones, eating fish is like thorns in the mouth, why have you ever eaten this kind of food? Especially this brown rice, I don't know how long it has been in the warehouse, and I can smell a moldy smell from afar.

The new soldiers finished their meal restlessly, and when they saw that there was no intention of gathering, they were idle in the center of the big school field to eat, Chai Dongliang and the others did not speak, and after half an hour, Chai Dongliang waved his hand.

"Chirp..."

The new army hurriedly stood in line and waited for the lecture of the lord, who had not spoken a word since he entered the gate.

"All of them, run five laps around the school grounds!"

Chai Dongliang gave the order calmly.

Five or six hundred people were stunned at first, and then lined up in five columns, running in circles around the big school field. Chai Dongliang estimated that there is about one kilometer in one lap of this school field, and it is five kilometers after five laps.

"One-two-one!" The officer shouted with a foreign sword in his hand.

After two laps, there were people who couldn't keep up with the team, first of all, He Zudao's cousin He Laosan, his blue-black face was sickly flushed, and his eyelids rolled and he fainted. A few sheds and platoon commanders who had a good relationship with him wanted to help him, but they saw He Guandao with a blue face.

He Guan took a whip and whipped it to the platoon commander who was about to pick up He Laosan, and said in a fierce voice: "Don't care about him!" ”

The platoon commander covered his hands and ran, and after five laps, more than 200 of the more than 500 people were left behind!

These people rolled and crawled forward in the school yard with the bold, and the bold ones directly turned their backs to the sky and pretended to be dead dogs, and let the whip of the officer rain like rain, but they just couldn't get up.

"This dog officer!" Lu Kai ran for five kilometers, not breathing, looking at Chai Dongliang with the corner of his eye, and scolded in his heart.

More than 300 new troops who followed the team smoothly lined up in a line out of breath.

Chai Dongliang waved his hand, and several Goshha unloaded a huge camphor wood box from the cart.

"Open!"

The box was opened, Chai Dongliang jumped off the horse, his cold and critical eyes swept from the head of the team to the opposite end, every time he saw a person, this new army soldier would subconsciously stand up straight!

The huge school yard was silent, only the heavy breathing of the soldiers and the sound of dragon flags fluttering.

After a long time, Chai Dongliang smiled and bent over, and picked up a letter from the box that was wrapped in oil paper!

Let's go!

With a muffled sound, the paper seal was broken, and Long Yang Liu poured down and hit the foreign money in the box, making a pleasant sound.

"Brothers of the New Army, you have worked hard! Anyone who completes these five laps will be rewarded with 20 yuan for the officer and 10 yuan for the soldier! ”

"Thank you, Lord for your reward!"

The sound of gratitude resounded in the sky, and every soldier of the new army was beaming with joy on his face, ten pieces of dragon ocean was enough to marry a daughter-in-law in the countryside! You must know that the soldiers of the new army only have a monthly salary of three or four dollars and five dollars, deducting military uniforms, uniforms, salt and vegetables, and the rest is just a little silver slag!

"Now, I will personally name the name, and if I get the name, I will come forward to receive the reward!" Chai Dongliang shouted with his hand on the roster.

The new army is a happy color again, and the rewards of the imperial court in Pingyu are all sent to He Guan, and then issued by officers at all levels, generally the reward will not exceed three yuan, and in the hands of the soldiers, it is good to have a silver horn left!

How have these Qiu Ba ever seen the officials sent by the imperial court personally handing out money to these sweaty soldiers?

"Those who lie down halfway will each go to the Judge Advocate General's Office to receive ten military sticks!" He Guandai looked at his cousin's dead dog appearance and gritted his teeth.

Those who don't finish five laps are like ashes!

For a time, the big school field is two days of ice and fire!

"Call me soon! It's going to be me right away! Lu Kai's palms were sweating, and his eyes were staring at Chai Dongliang, who was paying military salaries!
