Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Salt Regiment Is Not the Huai Army

The salt group's queue drill was a great success, which was expected by Qin Chuan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The procession of the salt regiment, all the patterns are Qin Chuan's comparison of the National Day military parade that shocked the whole world in later generations, if this can't make these people a hundred years ago feel a strong spiritual shock, then it is a strange thing.

Although the procession of the salt regiment was a strong shock to all, the foreign ministers, especially the German minister Klinder, were the most obvious, and almost all of them showed almost undisguised excitement. It's just that the excited expressions of these foreigners are very different from the expressions of the other people on the viewing platform, and among the generals of the Beiyang Naval Division, the generals of various departments of the Huai Army, and dozens of civilian officials on the viewing platform, except for Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhou Fu, and Nie Shicheng, including Li Hongzhang, almost none of them showed obvious expressions of appreciation. Some of these people had disdainful faces, some were expressionless, and some were contemplative. Although these people have different demeanors, they have one thing in common, that is, they all don't say a word.

The expressions of the officers of the various armies leading the team under the stage were similar to those of the people above, only Jia Qisheng couldn't help but look back and forth at the team of the salt regiment with a calm face. However, the soldiers of those various departments were different from these officers and generals, and they all looked at them unabashedly, and whispered with envy.

Qin Chuan didn't care about any of this, and calmly greeted all kinds of strange eyes. Because he can understand that no matter how eye-catching his salt regiment is, in the final analysis, his salt regiment is not the Huai Army, that is to say, the better his salt regiment behaves, the more he is slapping the Huai Army in the face, how can this make these Huai Army commanders and generals willing, I am afraid that even Li Hongzhang will be very shameless.

Qin Chuan thought to himself, grandma's, who let Lao Tzu's salt group not be the Huai Army.

Soon, the shooting project parade began, in the open space in the middle of the two columns of troops facing the review platform, only about 30 meters from the right side of the salt regiment that was at the end.

The order of shooting was the same as the queue drill, and it was Zhang Wenxuan's Liu Gongdao Protector who started first, and the Martial Arts Academy and the Salt Regiment lined up behind. The posture of shooting and shooting targets is all in a standing position, 30 people in each round are lined up, under the supervision of a teacher in the Armament Academy, five free shots are carried out within 20 breaths, and after each round of shooting is completed, the target students of the Armament Academy will take down the target paper of each target and send it to the school review desk, where there are people sent by the Armament Academy to make statistics.

Qin Chuan watched Zhang Wenxuan's troops shoot for a while, and sure enough, as Zhang Shiheng said, many people were very rusty in shooting, and most of the postures of raising guns and aiming were not standardized.

For some reason, Qin Chuan didn't have a trace of joy in his eyes when he saw such a situation, on the contrary, his mood became very heavy. Qin Chuan sighed, and in the sound of "ping pong" gunshots, he followed a herald from the military academy to the right side of the school review platform.

The drawing assessment was being carried out at the same time as the shooting assessment on the dozen or so tables lined up there, and Qin Chuan was the last to come over to compete.

What surprised Qin Chuan was that it was Feng Guozhang who presided over the drawing test.

Seeing Qin Chuan coming to compete, Feng Guozhang hurriedly trotted all the way to Qin Chuan to salute, and accompanied Xiao to personally lead Qin Chuan to the seat and sit down, there were already several pieces of rice paper and a sharpened pencil on the table.

The drawing project is very simple, far less complicated than Qin Chuan imagined, just some mountains, rivers and a city that Feng Guozhang piled up with stones and sand on the ground in front of the dozen or so tables, and according to Feng Guozhang's explanation, that city is actually Seoul in North Korea. Feng Guozhang explained the task of the contestants in a series of diagrams, which was to ask all the contestants to draw a simple map of the topography of Seoul and mark the location of the defender's defensive positions in the time of a pillar of incense.

Such a simple drawing is really a piece of cake for Qin Chuan, after lighting the incense, Qin Chuan looked at the simple terrain around Seoul set up by Feng Guozhang for a while, picked up a pencil and drew it, and the first to draw it was completed when the pillar of incense on Qin Chuan's desk was only lit for a third of the time, Qin Chuan got up and motioned to Feng Guozhang to draw a map, and a student from the Martial Arts Academy ran over to take the map drawn by Qin Chuan and gave it to Feng Guozhang who was talking with a military attache with a second-grade coral top and wearing a brocade official mansion.

When Qin Chuan got up, he noticed this second-grade military attaché, when Li Hongzhang led these generals to the colonel's stage, Zhang Shiheng had already introduced him one by one, and this person was Nie Shicheng.

Seeing Qin Chuan get up, Nie Shicheng nodded at Qin Chuan with a smile, although Qin Chuan wanted to go back earlier to see the shooting situation of other troops, but Nie Shicheng was like this, he had no choice but to go over and salute Nie Shicheng. Nie Shicheng nodded, and was about to speak, but Feng Guozhang, who didn't want to be on the side, let out a surprised "huh", which caused Nie Shicheng to turn his head away.

Seeing that Feng Guozhang was stunned with the drawing handed in by Qin Chuan, Nie Shicheng thought that there was something wrong with the drawing drawn by Qin Chuan, and while poking his head to look at it, he smiled and played a round for Qin Chuan.

"Huafu, although Lord Qin is very good at business and military affairs, he can't be proficient in everything, and some flaws are inevitable。。。。。。

Nie Shicheng couldn't help but pause halfway through his words, but he saw that Qin Chuan's drawing paper was not only neat, but also the terrain of Seoul was vivid, and the defensive positions were also set up extremely rigorously, so he really couldn't find anything wrong.

Nie Shicheng set up a martial arts academy in Kaiping, where he was stationed in the Wuyi Army, and he himself attached great importance to this school, and Nie Shicheng was no stranger to these map-based homework, which was far from being comparable to his students. The only thing that Nie Shicheng couldn't understand was that on this map of Qin Chuan, there were also circles of irregular circles drawn on the mountains around Seoul.

Feng Guozhang's demeanor was already expected by Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan asked with a smile: "What, Huafu, is there anything wrong with my picture?" ”

Feng Guozhang found that he was out of shape, and he was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Where, Lord Qin's homework on this map is not only achieved overnight, but also very fine, and it is absolutely not to this level if you are not studying in a Western-style military academy, Guozhang admires it very much." ”

Nie Shicheng was also surprised by Qin Chuan's work on this map, and sighed: "What Hua Fu said is good, I don't know where Lord Qin has studied in a Western-style military academy?" ”

Qin Chuan smiled bitterly and explained briefly, which surprised Nie Shicheng and Feng Guozhang even more.

Listening to the gunshots, Qin Chuan thought about the shooting competition for a while, and if he wanted to sue Nie Shicheng for a crime, he hurried back, and was about to speak, Feng Guozhang asked inquiringly.
