Chapter Eighty-Five: The Alternative Jia Wins

From Zhang Shiheng's mouth, Qin Chuan learned that these main generals of the Beiyang departments and the main generals of the high grade all went to Li Hongzhang's Zhili Governor and Minister of Beiyang Trade Yamen Station in the morning, and now the generals here are all subordinates of the deputy generals of the various departments, except for one exception, that is, the general of Wei Rugui's Sheng Army, who stood on the side of the Yan Tuan, not far from Qinchuan, stood straight and looked serious, he was Jia Qisheng, the commander of the Sheng Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info According to their names, Jia Qisheng and Wei Rugui are equal in the Sheng Army, and the two should jointly belong to the Sheng Army and be jointly responsible for Li Hongzhang, and he should also go to Li Hongzhang.

But according to Zhang Shiheng, this Jia Qisheng is a rigorous person, and he is also very good at leading troops, and he has won the hearts of the military, but because he is more rigorous, and Wei Rugui has less restraint on the troops, so the officers of the Sheng army are reluctant to contact him. Therefore, although Jia Qisheng has a reputation for being a division in the Sheng Army, he basically doesn't take care of things himself, and he didn't even go to the station today.

There is also a matter of generals that aroused Qin Chuan's interest, that is, Zhang Wenxuan, the commander of the Liugong Island Protector Army, who was already standing with Li Hongzhang, because Zhang Shiheng told Qin Chuan that this Zhang Wenxuan turned out to be Zhang Shiheng's younger brother, that is to say, these two are Li Hongzhang's nephews.

Qin Chuan really didn't expect that Li Hongzhang would also have nepotism here.

"Knock knock" three horns suddenly exploded, interrupting Zhang Shiheng's words, who was still introducing the origins of the Huai Army to Qin Chuan.

As soon as the cannon fell, a prolonged shout was heard in the distance: "Lord Zhongtang has arrived." The voices were getting closer and louder.

As soon as the cannon sounded, the generals and colonels of all walks of life who were originally sitting on the Mazar had already jumped up, and some people quickly took the Maza away, and then these generals and colonels began to jump and shout loudly to restrain the troops, and the school field suddenly became chaotic.

Zhang Shiheng turned around to look at the salt group that was still neatly lined up, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "Ming Hong, I really can't imagine that you, a business wizard, are also a good hand at running a group training. ”

Qin Chuan didn't say anything, just looked at the entrance of the school, he was very much looking forward to seeing the dignity of Li Hongzhang, an important minister of the late Qing Dynasty who had a mixed reputation in later generations.

About five minutes later, I saw a long green tweed official sedan chair and dozens of military generals on horseback walking into the school grounds. Under the guidance of the two columns of Goshha in front, an eight-person sedan chair carrying green tweed was the first to enter the school field and stopped next to the viewing platform.

The sedan chair landed, someone had already opened the sedan curtain, and walked out of the sedan chair a middle-sized man with a slightly fat body, an old man wearing a first-class civil official court uniform with two eyes and a flower feather, no need to ask, this is Li Hongzhang, there is no second person in Zhili who has a first-grade grade. After Li Hongzhang got off the sedan chair, he did not immediately walk on the school review platform, but scanned the various teams on the school field with his eyes, and then accompanied by Na Jin, the general office of the Wubei Academy, walked steadily onto the school review platform.

Although it was far away, Qin Chuan could still feel the aura of murder in Li Hongzhang's gaze, and he could clearly feel the warmth in Li Hongzhang's gaze that was covered by the cold and solemn aura, and he could still feel what kind of mood Li Hongzhang would feel when he saw these Huai Army, which can be called the strongest in the country with a deep Li character imprint.

According to Zhang Shiheng's introduction, Wei Guigui, Ye Zhichao, Nie Shicheng, and Beiyang Naval Division are definitely Li Hongzhang's most trusted henchmen, and Song Qing's troops are a little farther away, and as for his salt regiment, I am afraid that it is not in Li Hongzhang's sight now.

As Li Hongzhang sat down, the civil and military generals and foreign ministers who followed him all sat on several rows of seats lined up with goose wings on either side of Li Hongzhang, and a short and fat middle-aged man dressed like a Tang Dynasty costume was obviously Min Sungjun, the general office of the North Korean Internal Affairs Office, as Zhang Shiheng said. Qin Chuan's eyes were sharp, and he saw that among these people was not only Li Jingfang who was sitting behind Li Hongzhang, but also Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai, and what surprised Qin Chuan the most was that Wu Tiaoqing, a comprador dressed in a four-grade civil official costume, was also among them.

After quietly asking Zhang Shiheng, I learned that Wu Tiaoqing has now been recommended by Li Hongzhang as the supervisor of the Guannai Railway.

Wu Tiaoqing is the supervisor of the railway in the Guannai, which is to make the best use of his talents, with Wu Tiaoqing's shrewdness, and the relationship with HSBC, this railway was handed over to Wu Tiaoqing, until he saw that Li Hongzhang was eclectic in employing people, and he was still thinking about Li Hongzhang's high nepotism, which was a little lighter.

Because the time has not yet arrived, the review did not start immediately because of Li Hongzhang's arrival, a group of civil officials and military generals were still talking to each other in a low voice, and gradually turned their eyes to the side of the salt group, Li Hongzhang since he sat down, his majestic gaze has been patrolling back and forth between the various troops under review, and his eyes fell on the salt group and Qin Chuan.

I think these people are interested in the military uniforms, flags, and **** of the salt regiment.

At the beginning, Qin Chuan was still a little proud, and said in his heart, now most of these people are just curious about themselves and this salt group, most of them will really make it difficult for him and his salt group to take it seriously, and after a while, I will start proofreading, and Lao Tzu will let you open your eyes well.

It was just a moment of effort, Qin Chuan slowly felt that it was not a taste, and Li Hongzhang's two awl-like gazes kept sweeping around the salt ball and himself, making Qin Chuan a little nervous. Zhang Shiheng didn't care when he arrived, and he kept introducing the generals on the school review platform to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but lower his voice and said to Zhang Shiheng: "Brother Chu Bao, Zhongtang has been staring at us. ”
