When the sun first appeared, He Tianci walked along the city wall to a high place, so faint and clear mist, so moist and wet smell of earth, kept plopping on his face and burrowing into his nose. He stood on the wall of Liujiabao and looked down at the surroundings, the thousand rings here are his own territory, looking at the unique mountain environment here, He Tianci is still very satisfied, he knows that as long as the defense is good, Liujiabao is definitely an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and now he has the foundation of his career.

He has confidence in the future, he believes that he will definitely play a sunny day, try to consume the strength of the double engine in the Russo-Russian War, reduce the threat of Russia to the Northeast, and seize the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, at this time, as long as he holds Yuguan (Shanhaiguan), he can control the situation in the Northeast, take Fengtian City, take Fengtian as the starting point, strive to obtain the maximum benefits between Yuan Shikai and Sun Mengwen (Note 1), sit on the throne of the Northeast King, and then let the Chinese nation rise, and spread the power of the country in all directions.

He Tianci stood on the city wall not far away and watched everyone train, this time he was also idle, no longer to teach everyone to walk in line in person like last time, looking at the veterans, the recruits of Liujiabao were also training hard, and they were relieved to learn to ride horses.

On the training ground, in the scorching afternoon, a large furnace hung high in the sky of the world. The red light shot up to the ground like a rocket, and the ground seemed to be on fire, reflecting the boiling flames like oil. Transpiration, suffocation, fierceness, and stuffiness make people's bottom cells and fibers burst by trembling. He Tianci rode a horse ruthlessly past the training ground, watching the sentry lines line up in front of him and walk neatly.

After a few days of rigorous training, the veterans of the third battalion did not have much of a problem, and the recruits at least did not have that kind of miserable scene, and they began to gradually have some shapes.

After some discussion between He Tianci and Hu Wenyong, he made a new and more "modern" plan for the entire Liujiabao, setting up a military training area, a barracks area, a warehouse area, a prison area, an office office, a family residential area, six large areas, the largest barracks area, canteen, dormitory area, school field, bathhouse, etc., the military training area is used as a tactical training and shooting training site alone, this area is more than ten acres of open space behind Liujiabao, He Tianci asked He Wenyong to take the absentee brothers and absenteeism to go into battle together, A simulated battlefield was temporarily transformed into a simulated battlefield in these mountainous areas, with trenches and a large number of bunkers built for tactical simulation training.

Simulating tactical training for oneself is not this kind of military exercise of the Red Army and Blue Army of later generations, but all simulated battlefields with real swords, real guns, and real styles.

Special attention was paid to the departure of the canteen, and the women of Liujiabao and some peasant women were hired to help them, who were responsible for cooking for the soldiers to form a logistics "cooking class".

He Tianci attaches great importance to the diet of his soldiers, because of the hard training every day, the diet of the soldiers is very demanding, so on the basis of the usual diet, add more oil and salt supply, hoping that how much meat is supplied per person can not be satisfied for the time being. But Ho plans to set up farms and pastures in each camp, raise some poultry and livestock, and grow grain and vegetables around it.

After formulating these plans, he called Hu Wenyong and asked him to look for a good horse in Liujiabao, and then went to the warehouse himself, first, to select jewelry for Mrs. Zhang's own stepmother and Miss Zhang Qi, and second, to select some antiques for Zhang Xiluan. ”

He Tianci arrived at the warehouse, and he didn't know what this Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang Qi liked, but his father-in-law Zhang Xiluan liked BMW and antique calligraphy and painting, which he knew, He Tianci took into account that Mrs. Zhang was a noble lady with status, so he would send gold, and Miss Zhang Qi was a beautiful girl, a Jiangnan woman, it is estimated that it was also small and exquisite, slim and elegant, and Baoyu with beauty.

After thinking about this, He Tianci searched carefully in the warehouse, and finally picked out a pure gold necklace, a pair of mutton fat white jade bracelets, and a Song Dynasty calligraphy and painting.

In the evening, Hu Wenyong sent the horse he was looking for again, it was a batch of Mongolian war horses, and he saw that the horse was red all over, like a raging flame, without half a stray hair, and there was a touch of white on the head. It can really be regarded as a BMW, and Lu Bu is the person described in the Three Kingdoms. The red rabbit BMW in the horse is really the same, is this red rabbit BMW reborn in the Qing Dynasty? Stepfather Zhang Xiluan loves horses like life, and it is estimated that he will definitely like this horse.

A few days later, it was time to meet Zhang Xiluan and Lord Zhang, leaving Li Yuanfang and Wu Xiaolin and other sentries in Liujiabao, He Tianci led the five battalions of horses and horses to Jinzhou Mansion, after these days of training, these soldiers all raised their chests and raised their heads, full of spirit, and attracted a lot of admiration and praise along the way.

After two days of travel, I rested overnight in Montenegro, Zhen'an County, and arrived at Jinzhou Mansion at noon the next day.

In the afternoon, He Tianci accompanied his father-in-law Zhang Xiluan Zhang General Office, Mrs. Zhang, Miss Zhang, and a group of four people to the training ground, and the family inspected He Tianci's five battalion officers and soldiers.

Zhang Xiluan sat on the stage, Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang Qi sat separately, on both sides of Zhang Xiluan, He Tianci stood in front of Zhang Xiluan, and asked politely: "Lord General Office, has the review started?" ”

Zhang Xiluan stroked his beard and nodded, indicating affirmation.

Under the inspection stage, nearly 2,500 officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion were lined up in five neat formations under the leadership of Na Zhiwu, Li Enyi, Wang Zhankui, Liu Dazi, and Zhao Dahu, holding guns in their hands, shining silver in the golden sunlight, particularly dazzling, and the soldiers were majestic. He Tianci waved a small red flag at the review stand and shouted: "The review begins." ”

I saw the officers and men of the fifth battalion "clacking" in a neat performance queue, and then performed military subjects such as stabbing and shooting.

Zhang Xiluan looked at the audience, smiling, stroking his beard and nodding, Miss Zhang Qi on the side was also impressed by the neat military exercise, showing a watery smile on the side, at this time He Tianci put away the red flag in his hand, and the soldiers of the five battalions all gathered together, all standing upright under the stage with guns, the drill was completed, I saw He Tianci come forward to Zhang Xiluan and knock the riding boots with a "snap", and said: "Report to the general office, after the drill is completed, please give a lecture to the general office." ”

Zhang Xiluan got up and walked to the front of the stage, Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang Qi followed, Zhang Xiluan pulled a long voice, and said in an official tone: "Zhang Guan led the army strictly, led the troops in a good way, as the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and recently recovered the steppe wolf and exterminated Emperor Liu Er, the official on behalf of the Shengjing General Zengqi announced that He Tianci's department was expanded into the five battalions of Mabu, and He Tianci was appointed as the commander of the five battalions of Mabu (equivalent to the commander of the regiment). ”

Then he showed Zengqi's letter of appointment. He Tianci turned out the letter of appointment, and his heart blossomed, this commander is equivalent to a brigade commander, and Zhang Zuolin at this time has been thrown away by himself I don't know how far. Then he said respectfully: "Thank you for the grace of the imperial court, thank you for the cultivation of General Sheng Jing, and thank you for the love of the general office, He Tianci will definitely live up to the expectations of the people, serve the court wholeheartedly, and have no complaints." ”

Zhang Xiluan said: "Okay! ”

At night, when the lamp was in charge, Zhang Xiluan asked He Tianci to talk in the house, He Tianci entered Zhang Xiluan's house, and said respectfully: "The child has met his father-in-law, his mother-in-law, and Miss Zhang." ”

Zhang Xiluan said with a smile: "Huchen is here, look at the seat." ”

He Tianci sat on the chair with half of his buttocks and half of his buttocks hanging, looking respectful, all of them were seen by Miss Zhang Qi on the side, and couldn't help laughing, and then quickly covered his mouth, blushing like a ripe apple.

He Tianci unconsciously moved his gaze to Miss Zhang Qi, Miss Zhang Qi raised her head timidly, in the afternoon He Tianci was busy with drills, her face did not see clearly, so He Tianci just felt in his heart that this woman was slender and graceful, which was a rare beauty in the world, but she couldn't see her eyebrows clearly. He Tianci was taken aback.
