Chapter 7: Finding the Seeds of Hope

The current situation is still stable for the time being, that is, the Qing Dynasty is temporarily satisfied, the appetite of the great powers, but this will not last long, the current Guangxu has a lot of things to do, he did not go to class after the court, in fact, the current Guangxu has nothing to learn in the old-fashioned classroom, those old men have not taught much for so many years, even Cixi also said that Guangxu is a good young man who is serious and studious, since there is nothing to learn, then he will not go. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There will be a war soon, there are soldiers in the war, Guangxu now wants to see what his soldiers are like now, so he summoned the guards in the palace after the next court.

Think about the model of the Praetorian Guard of the Qing Dynasty as the Eight Banners in charge of the palace and the guards of the capital,

First of all, the biggest is. Leading the Minister of the Guards and the Guards of the Army, this is the Upper Three Banners Guards guarding the Imperial Palace.

Then there is the Five Banners Protector under the leadership of the Imperial Minister, who is responsible for guarding the imperial city, and the emperor's camp and guards the Old Summer Palace, as well as the royal mausoleum and so on.

In the end, the most bullish is the imperial guard, the Qianqingmen guard, at every turn is a first-class guard with a knife, it is a group of people with a fork, in the emperor's side, it is the emperor's most trusted group of people, Guangxu is this group of people gathered today.

Looking at the more than 300 people gathered in front of him, he is very tall, but he is a lot fat, and the most elite team is not like this, no wonder the emperor of Xianfeng wants to take his wife and children to Fengtian and hand over his safety to these guys, which is a very unreliable thing!

There is no way, China's current new-style army has not yet started training, don't wait, no matter how bad the foundation is, you must start training, otherwise Guangxu can't afford to lose!

These are all led by a man named Ma Wu, who also looks like a man in his 30s, and looks like Ali is very burly, Guangxu called him over and asked Are you in charge of the drills of the guards?

Ma Wu replied yes!

The most royal guard is a very honorable, important thing, the safety of the Queen Mother Lafayette can not have any mistakes, today I will review your skills, come! Come! Let's start with the easiest test to see how strong you are.

Run! Run! Run for me!

The training started from this moment, Guangxu shouted loudly! Now start running back and forth between the Concord Gate and the Xihe Gate, I don't say stop, I don't stop!

The silver reward for running in first place is 50 taels!

Let's run!

I saw that this group of Praetorian Guards who were running slowly were also drunk, but there were Ma Wu who organized this group of old soldiers, and some of them were kicked back by him, and they still looked a little bit.

It wasn't good enough for long, and after the third lap, these guys couldn't keep in formation, one by one, and some actually squatted on the ground and retched!

Seeing this, Guangxu suddenly thought of one thing, "**" This hateful thing, at this time, the smoke houses of the Qing Dynasty are lined up, and the people have been deeply poisoned by **, these guards are really "less things and more money, close to home" There is nothing to do, in this era, it is a very normal thing!

It seems that the smoking ban can't be delayed!

In fact, from a modern point of view, detoxification is actually physiologically speaking, it is not a very difficult thing, but the difficult thing is to relapse, because these drug addicts live in that kind of environment, others are re-smoking, you don't smoke is different, the current Qing Dynasty down to the peddlers and pawns, up to the dignitaries and dignitaries are already mostly addicts, want to ban it all at once, it is already difficult, can not be attacked, this is like curing the disease and saving people, to be like a thread, this matter can not be rushed.

Looking at this group of uncompetitive subordinates, Ma Wu was very anxious, the guys in his hands took turns, fighting, scolding the guards to keep up with the team, and in the midst of the chaos, he peeked at Guangxu, hoping that Guangxu could give an order to stop taking a break!

But Guangxu looked at these people coldly, and he didn't mean to stop them at all.

Looking at this group of people, Guangxu called Ma Wu over!

Ma Wu thought he could stop

How did I think Guangxu said: "Guards, the pace is slow, maybe the clothes on your body are too heavy, let the guards, take off your thick armor and travel lightly!"

This is a human life, the emperor ordered, let's start, so the three hundred Janissaries took off their coats and began their life's running career, and by the tenth lap there were less than fifty people still running on the field, but they were gradually exhausted.

Guangxu ordered these fifty people to be gathered, looking at this group of panting guards, Guangxu still has hope, these people are hope, Guangxu motioned for them to sit down around him, now Guangxu can be sure that Ma Wu and these guards must not be smokers, not big smokers.

Began his first speech in this world

Guangxu said: "You are all the children of the three banners, think about the ancestors of the golden iron horse laid down this great river and mountain, the emperor Wanli, what a great feat, I sometimes hate myself, why can't I be born in that era, think about being able to follow the ancestors to open up the territory, set up that immortal feat, admired by all generations, how fast, the husband should be like this!"

But now, I want to think of the emperor's grandfather (that is, Emperor Xianfeng), who was forced by the British and French troops to go to Mukden to 'hunt in the north', every time I think of this, my heart is like a knife to sting, I am sorry for the ancestors and ancestors! ”

"Guangxu told Ma Wu that tomorrow the guards will be organized, and they will practice running every day, if they don't have any physical strength, what else will they say to protect the Queen Mother and protect the Qing Dynasty."

Call the guard who ran to the front today, what's his name?

Ma Wu returned: His name is Ma De!

looked at Mader, who was still panting on his knees in front of him.

Guangxu said: "Okay, very good, you didn't smoke a lot, right?" ”

Ma De returned: "Back to the emperor, the slave has never smoked **"

Okay, very good, that thing can't be touched, it's harmful to the body, it's harmful to the family, it's harmful to the country, it's not good to touch it.

Well, be blessed, and reward Ma Wuwen with 50 taels of silver

Okay, let's stop here today, go back and have a good rest, tomorrow is still this time, this place to meet.

After speaking, Guangxu led Defu back, leaving behind a group of guards who did not know what to do.

The news quickly spread widely!

In the Leshou Palace, Li Lianying was reporting this matter to Cixi!

After hearing this, Cixi was also carefully reflecting on this matter, no matter from that point of view, it was beneficial to the royal family, and the guards should also be disciplined well, but is the emperor's method good?

Just let him give it a try, even if it doesn't get better, it won't be bad.

The same thing happened in the two largest factions of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and the conservatives of the Qing Dynasty interpreted that the emperor wanted to learn from the ancestors at this time, and the continuation of the martial spirit.

The ministers of the Westernization faction interpret that the emperor wants the guards to run and train, and at this time they want to train the rhythm of the new army, and it is the general trend to train the new army later, if the emperor can see this, it is really a blessing for the country!

In fact, the most uncomfortable thing now is Ma Wu, he has not seen this kind of thing for many years, his family is a hundred years of prosperity - Fucha family, this family in the Qing Dynasty is the world's grace, that big man has a lot of people, the first five heroes of the founding of the Qing Dynasty have their family ancestors, and he is the commander of the guard is hereditary, can produce so many people, on the one hand, the family has a foundation. Another aspect is more important, that is, the family's sense of crisis, the discipline of the younger generation is very strict, so achievements and their own efforts are inseparable, the Ma De who ran in front today is also from their family, this kid is very hardworking, you may think that his family must be very poor.

In fact, it's really not, his family is definitely very rich, his father's name is Ma Tianxing, he has not been in good health since he was a child, his legs are lame, he can't enter the palace as a guard, and he doesn't have that genetic, but he doesn't have that family tradition, so he took another path, that is, to do business, I didn't expect it, he was in his 30s, and he was a big businessman who passed through the north and south.

If you have money, you still have a wish, it is the responsibility of the family, enter the palace as a guard, Lao Tzu can't, but I have a son, so Ma Tianxing began to spend a lot of effort to train his son, and his son is also angry, at the age of 16, he is the head of the horse step bow, and he is proficient in riding and shooting knives and guns, and he entered the palace as a guard very smoothly.

The family has money, and it is really useful to work your own!

Today is this Ma De is showing his face!

But Ma Wu looked back and looked at more acquaintances, these are also the children of nobles, and they have been almost half an hour, and some people are tired and haven't gotten up!

More people are already addicted to smoking, just waiting for Guangxu to go!

Tomorrow will continue, how can this be!
