Although the establishment of the "Military Aircraft Department" was sniped, the expansion of the new army was not affected in the slightest, and it was still carried out in an orderly manner, and the first change was to start with the Fengtai battalion -- the original 15,000 old troops were all dispersed, and all guerrilla generals and above were transferred out of the Fengtai battalion and dealt with separately according to age and knowledge. Of course, all those who are close to the fourth, eighth, and fourteenth masters, regardless of their ability and position, will be sent to the local area and will be put up in trouble with a spare post, and all the soldiers of the old army will be integrated into the new army and undergo a three-month emergency training to adapt to the strategy and tactics of the new army.

As soon as the reform of the new army was launched, the various departments of the court were busy opening, the military department was busy making registers and selecting generals at all levels, the Ministry of Industry was busy with the transportation of munitions, and the household department had to be responsible for the supply of logistics and baggage, and the Ministry of Rites was also busy with the groundbreaking ceremony of the newly established infantry command academy. There are quite a few writers for this reason, some in favor and some against it, and the fierce debate between the two sides has attracted the attention of countless people in the government and the opposition, and as a result, the focus of attention between the government and the opposition has unwittingly shifted from the case of the "Military Aircraft Department" to the matter of the expansion of the new army in full swing.

For others, the case of the "Military Aircraft Department" may be regarded as a thing of the past, but for Emperor Chengde, he is still lingering, but before he failed to win Songzhu and the old fourteenth, Emperor Chengde did not dare to mention this matter easily, but he did not urge Hongqing to hurry up and do it secretly, and he almost issued an edict to let Hongqing deal with the old fourteenth.

Can you eat hot tofu in a hurry? The answer is obviously no, in fact, there is no need for Emperor Chengde to urge, Hongqing also wanted to drive the old fourteen to guard the tomb, no side, in the past half a month, the military department seems to be very cooperative, but secretly it is playing the trick of entrainment of private goods, every time Hongqing reports the transfer list, there will always be some uninteresting names from the military department, and a few candidates are stuffed inside, and the generals of the various forces who were originally scheduled to be eliminated to the local office can always be transformed into a certain critical pass or the guard of the big city, It really made Hongqing extremely annoyed, but the matter of selecting the general was in charge of the military department, although Hongqing is a prince at the moment, but he is not in charge of the government like before the old man died, and he has no power in his hands, and he really can't help the gang of soldiers and ruffians, in this sense, Hongqing actually wants to drive Songzhu and the old fourteenth out of the court more than anyone else, but this matter is not trivial, even if there is already a holy will, then it has to be carefully arranged at a suitable time, otherwise, once the matter fails, several masters join forces to make a fuss, It's really not that easy to do.

Of course, the time has to wait, but it is impossible to wait, no, most of the month has passed, the turmoil of the "Military Aircraft Department" has stopped, and it will not be reminiscent of the old 14 being demoted and the "military aircraft case" has anything to do with it, so that the time to start is almost ripe, after Hongqing made some arrangements, he personally went to the old 14's house, and sincerely invited him to go to the infantry command college in preparation to inspect, and said: Please ask the old 14 to tell the newly enrolled students about the war on the Western Front. It is also good that the newly admitted generals at all levels have a general idea of war.

Since he was transferred back to Beijing for the funeral, the fourteenth master has completely lost his mission, and several other masters can still get the name of the minister of the study, and from time to time enter the palace with Emperor Chengde or have fun or wrench his wrist, but the fourteenth master has become a forgotten master, although there are many places to go on weekdays, every day is either to the fourth master's mansion, or to the eighth master to drink, aiming at the opportunity can also instruct the old department of the military department to trick Hongqing and the old thirteen, but in the end, it is not a serious matter, this Hongqing warmly invited, I was really moved, and happily went to the infantry command academy under construction with Hongqing.

The infantry command college is backed by Xiangshan, it is expanded on the basis of the original artillery command college, although the new school building is still under construction, the number of students in the new phase is only less than half, but the students of the original artillery command college are still quite a lot, there are nearly 1,500 people, under the warm welcome of the teachers and students, the old 14 is very refreshing to return to the limelight, to the teachers and students to brag about the battle of the Western Front, and at the end, was politely invited into the principal's office for tea.

"Brother Qing'er, is this academy doing well, but it's a pity, if Huang Ama had been willing to expand the new army earlier, the Western Front would not have fallen into such a rotten situation as it is now, alas."

The old fourteen has rarely had such a big opportunity to be in the limelight recently, and now he is too addicted, and there are more words, no, the guards serving tea have just retreated, and he has already changed his head and sighed.

Early expansion of the new army? Isn't that a good usurper for your old fourteenth, what are you kidding!

Listening to the old fourteen sighing indiscriminately there, Hongqing secretly laughed in his heart, but he was too lazy to pick out the matter and say it, so he just responded lightly: "Uncle Fourteen has said it, Huang Ma Fa does not do it, and he has his own reasons for not doing it, the reason for this is really not something that we and other juniors can discuss, and Uncle Fourteen is still cautious." ”

"Heh, as far as your kid is capable, yes, after so many years of being busy, I finally helped the third master of your family to the throne, why didn't I see him give you the position of the prince, hey, don't say that others can't look at it, Uncle Fourteen can't stand it, tsk, there are such ungrateful people all over the world, it has been rare since ancient times!"

The reason why the old fourteen agreed to inspect the infantry command academy with Hongqing today is that in addition to being quiet and thinking, there is also the intention of exploring Hongqing's hypocrisy.

"Uncle Fourteen laughed, not to establish a prince is a charter set by the Holy Ancestor and his old man, and the emperor Ama just implements it, but there is something strange to say, as for the little nephew, Pu Liu's quality ear, I really don't dare to hope indiscriminately, this matter does not need to be mentioned, and the little nephew does not want to hear it."

Although he was already going to do something to the old fourteen today, Hongqing didn't want to have any words in his hands, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart when he heard the old fourteen's provocative words, but he didn't want to be perfunctory, but his face was upright, and he responded extremely seriously.

"Yes, if you don't mention it, don't mention it, just let the master kindly feed the donkey's liver and lungs, hey, when your kid is crying, it's okay, don't talk about this, the master should see it today, and the thing that shouldn't be pulled is also pulled, and then if you kid don't have any arrangements, you can't say it, but you're leaving."

This instigation didn't work, and the fourteenth master didn't care much, after so many years of dealing with him, the fourteenth knew that Hongqing was not so easy to deal with, and he didn't expect to be able to impress Hongqing with a single word, so he snorted, and then spied on Hongqing in the name of resignation.

"Uncle Fourteen, don't worry, the little nephew will invite Uncle Fourteen to come today, there is indeed one more thing to do, just a few words, and please sit down for a while."

Hongqing not only tricked the old fourteen out, but how could he just let him go, the reason why he didn't rush to do it was just because Hongqing was still waiting for the news outside, so he smiled and explained vaguely.

"Oh? What else? Let's hear about it. ”

Hearing that Hongqing had no other arrangements, the old fourteen couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Hongqing suspiciously, and hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, drink tea first, and it's not too late to talk later."

Hongqing smiled and picked up the tea bowl and put on a posture of selling off.

"You kid has a lot of things, yes, don't make it clear, you really want to go back!"

Seeing Hongqing's behavior like this, the old fourteen's brows wrinkled, and he vaguely felt that something was not good, so he put down the tea bowl in his hand, and planned to get up and leave.

"Lord Wang, the matter has been done."

Just when the old fourteenth general was about to get up, he saw Ding Song striding in from outside, and hurriedly grabbed in front of Hongqing, bowed, and hurriedly reported a word.

"Hmm."

Although Ding Song didn't say what was done, Hongqing knew what it meant as soon as he heard it, this was saying that the old fourteen's entourage had been taken down, and the tense heartstrings were immediately loosened, but he was not in a hurry to break through the roots, but waved his hand, whispered quietly, and signaled Ding Song to step aside first.

"Brother Qing, what the hell is your kid doing, I don't have time to mess around with you, so I quit!"

The fourteenth master is a clever man, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that things are not good, and he refuses to stay longer, so he gets up, drops a sentence, and plans to go outside.

"Uncle Fourteen, wait a minute, Your Majesty has a will here, and it is not too late to ask Uncle Fourteen to take the will and leave."

Before the old fourteen raised his feet, Hongqing had already stood up, shook his hand, took out an edict from his wide sleeve, and held it high above his head.

"Hmmm......"

Seeing Hongqing take out the edict, the ominous premonition in the heart of the old fourteen immediately became a little stronger, although he had the intention to leave quickly, but at the end he still did not dare to openly resist and disobey the order, and in desperation, he could only breathe out of his breath with great displeasure, and knelt on the ground unwillingly.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The first emperor dragon returned to the sea, lonely Zunhua, my heart is really uneasy, and I read the fourteenth brother Yunyu because of the failure to do more filial piety in front of the emperor's spirit, specially sent to Zunhua, for my soul, admire!"

Hongqing ignored the gaze of the old fourteen fire-breathing eyes, shook his hand and unfolded the edict, and announced it one by one, which immediately made the old fourteen's face change miserably......
