Chapter Ninety-Three: Very Depressed
Half an hour later, the Beiyang Grand Review, which had not been seen for several years, finally ended, but the originally scheduled shooting competition between Hannagan and Qin Chuan was not held as scheduled, because after Hannagen checked Qin Chuan's shooting results and checked Qin Chuan's target paper, he saw that Qin Chuan not only hit fifty rings with five shots, but the bullet holes of the five bullets actually circled a uniform pentagonal plum blossom in the center of the target paper.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to the competition with Hannagan, Qin Chuan, what he cared about was the performance of his salt group in the school parade, and he wanted to give Li Hongzhang, the head of Beiyang, an unforgettable deep impression. So when Hannagan said that he would give up the game, Qin Chuan just laughed it off.
The salt regiment really lived up to Qin Chuan's expectations, and then the general office of the Armed Forces Academy announced the school ranking, Qin Chuan's salt regiment won the first place in the queue, drawing, and maneuvering, the shooting score was the fifth collective, and the shooting of the ten-person group was the last. Because of the outstanding shooting performance of the Martial Arts Academy, in the end, the salt regiment and the students of the Armed Forces Academy tied for the first place.
It's just that Qin Chuan was a little surprised that in the shooting project, in addition to the Wubei Academy and Nie Shicheng's Wu Yi Army, Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui's troops were also among the best in the 100-person shooting, and the quality of the troops was obviously higher than that of other troops.
In Qin Chuan's memory, whether it was Ye Zhichao or Wei Rugui, fighting against the Japanese army in the First Sino-Japanese War was unfavorable, and the textbooks of later generations also criticized the two of them.
Qin Chuan not only secretly thought in his heart, could it be that these two people were not good at fighting in the First Sino-Japanese War, and there was another hidden reason?
What made Qin Chuan even more surprised was that the shooting results of the ten-person group ranked first, the first in the Martial Arts Academy, the second in Nie Shicheng's Wu Yijun, the third place turned out to be the Shanhaiguan Defense Army commanded by Ye Zhichao, and the fourth was Wei Rugui's Sheng Army.
And what surprised Qin Chuan the most and even shocked him was the names of the top five best results of the various Huai Army units reported, one by one, the names that were thunderous in later generations burst out of Yin Jiang's mouth one by one, although Yin Jiang's voice was not very high, but it still shook Qin Chuan's brain.
Among these people, Qin Chuan's familiar names are: Lei Zhenchun, Chen Guangyuan, and Tanaka Yu, the school leaders of the Wubei Academy; Tian Zhongyu, Wang Shizhen, Bao Guiqing, and Lu Yongxiang in the Shanhaiguan Defense Army; Nie Shicheng is Li Chun in Wu Yi's army; Wang Zhanyuan, Cao Kun, and Zhang Huaizhi in Song Qingyi's army.
Lei Zhenchun's name is Chaoyan, a native of Anhui, and in the future, he served as the general office of the Beiyang General Ben School and the prime minister of the Beiyang provinces. After the Republic of China, he became the governor of Beiyang Jiangbei and the envoy of Henan. It is worth mentioning that when Lei Zhenchun was the general manager of the Beiyang General Ben School, Feng Guozhang was the superintendent of the school.
Chen Guangyuan served as the overseer of Jiangxi after the Republic of China, and was later dismissed by Cao Kun when he was president.
Tanaka Yu served as the deputy minister of the War Department of the Beiyang Government and the governor of Shandong Province.
Li Chunzi Xiushan, who served as a superintendent of Jiangsu during the Republic of China.
Wang Shizhen's word is very famous, and the dragon in the Beiyang Sanjie Dragon and Tiger Dog refers to this Wang Shizhen, known as Wang Long, Duan Hu, and Feng Gou. Deeply trusted by Yuan Shikai, he successively served as the Minister of the Beiyang Army, the Chief of the General Staff, the Prime Minister of the Beiyang Government and other important military and political positions.
Bao Guiqing, who served as the overseer of Heilongjiang and Jilin, and the chief of the army.
Wang Zhanyuan, the word Dexian, the official to Hubei to supervise the army.
Lu Yongxiang served as the overseer of Zhejiang.
Cao Kun, like Feng Guozhang, also served as the president of the Beiyang government.
Zhang Huaizhi has served as chief of staff, and the official is a general.
Among the top five personal bests, Qin Chuan ranked first, and the second and fifth places were all from Nie Shicheng and Wu Yijun, namely Yu Guangxi, Zhou Xianxian, Li Guohua, and Xin Delin. Although Qin Chuan had no impression of these people, he had to admire Nie Shicheng's very good means of managing the army.
With so many people who were amazed in later generations, now standing alive in front of them, how could Qin Chuan not be shocked.
Qin Chuan, who was in a mess of brains, didn't think much about Yin Yi's announcement that Li Hongzhang should personally award awards and commendations to the winning teams and individuals on the spot, but instead reissued them afterwards.
After Yin Jiang announced the results of the school review, Li Hongzhang and a group of Beiyang civil and military officials and foreign ministers got off the school review platform and pedaled away, and the teams of each department were also required to withdraw in order, and it was not until then that Qin Chuan woke up and couldn't help but feel annoyed. Fortunately, Nie Shicheng and Feng Guozhang brought Li Chun, Yu Guangxi, Zhou Xianxian, Li Guohua, and Xin Delin to greet him, and even Jia Qisheng, the commander of the Sheng Army, who had always been cold-faced, also came to congratulate him, and Qin Chuan was in a slightly better mood.
In order to prevent accidental injuries from stray bullets, the onlookers were stopped 300 meters away from the shooting range by the student army of the Armed Forces Academy, but when the troops from all walks of life who were still participating in the parade left the field, the onlookers on both sides of the shooting range gathered on both sides of the road leading to East Street at the shooting range early, just to see the demeanor of the salt group.
As soon as he got out of the shooting range, Qin Chuan ordered the salt group following behind him to run forward, and he himself trotted in front of the team for a while, even though the excited people shouted wildly and did not stop, until he ran until the entrance of Dongjie to hold the team.
Outside the entrance of Dongjie, Zheng Jiuzao took the general Tianjin County Ya to guard the street entrance, preventing the people who were chasing after him from pouring into the street after shouting and screaming all the way. Seeing Qin Chuan running on a horse, Zheng Jiu, who was thin and agile, had already trotted to Qin Chuan's horse with a smile on his face and bowed his hand.
"Lord Qin's scenery today is infinite, and he will rise all the way in the coming day, Zheng Jiu congratulates Lord Qin first."
For a shrewd and capable snake like Zheng Jiu, Qin Chuan had already had the heart to solicit, and when he saw Zheng Jiu coming to congratulate him, he had to relax his tense face along the way and said with a smile.
"Thank you Zheng Bantou, you are thoughtful today, and you will have time to sit with me another day."
Listening to Qin Chuan's initiative to invite, how did Zheng Jiu, who was smart and sophisticated, not understand Qin Chuan's thoughts, the smile on his face couldn't help but be even bigger, and he nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Qin Chuan was about to ride his horse into the street, Zheng Jiu hurriedly said in a low voice: "Lord Qin, there are still a few adults waiting for you there." ”
After Zheng Jiu finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away, and went over to command the officials to catch and drive away a large group of young people who wanted to follow up on Dongjie to see the demeanor of Yantuan and Qin Chuan.
Someone is waiting for themselves, who will this be?
Qin Chuan thought as he shook the reins and rode his horse into the East Street.
How do you know that as soon as Qin Chuan and his salt group entered the street, suddenly a deafening firecracker sound suddenly exploded, and then looked at the street, both sides were full of dense and excited East Street people, and when they saw Qin Chuan and Yan Tuan enter the street, they immediately thundered with joy.
Qin Chuan, who thought he could take a breath and return to the dyeing factory safely, couldn't help but sigh secretly.
However, after all, these people are all neighbors, and they welcome themselves and Yantuan to triumph, Qin Chuan is not too cold, so he has to raise his right hand with a smile on his face, and salute the people of Dongjie on the horse.
It's just that at this moment, there were suddenly two bright white flashes on the side of the street, which frightened the big black horse that Qin Chuan was sitting down and hissed. This sudden flash made Qin Chuan not taken aback again, and when he looked closely, he saw Ai Xiaomei smiling at him in the crowd, beside Ai Xiaomei, there was a camera covered with a thick black cloth, and a person was standing with an old-fashioned magnesium lamp, and the flash was from the magnesium lamp just now.
Ai Xiaomei's appearance made Qin Chuan feel excited. Although his "Oriental Times" has been open for more than a month, it is basically still mainly reprinting current political news, anecdotes and commercial advertisements, because of the lack of manpower, the news interviewed by his own reporters is almost gone, and now Ai Xiaomei appears here with people, which shows that the "Oriental Times" should be on the right track.
Ai Xiaomei's face was ruddy, his face was clean, and his spirit was excellent, he just nodded at Qin Chuan, and began to busily direct the photographer to take pictures of the salt group team following Qin Chuan.
Seeing that the people of Dongjie welcomed them, and there were foreign gadgets called cameras that Tianjin Weixin had recently created, which could be much clearer than the pictures drawn, these young men of the salt group suddenly became interested again, and under Shi Feng's command, their bodies were straight and their steps were more neat.
The performance of the salt ball immediately aroused the cheers of the onlookers on East Street one after another.
Finally came to the gate of the dyeing factory, only to see that in front of the gate of the dyeing factory, Xu Xifang stood there with a smile on his face to greet Qin Chuan, and then there were two heavily armed Yantuan gates, there was no one in front of the gate who was deserted, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and was about to ask, Xu Xifang walked a few steps to Qin Chuan's horse, and said in a low voice while reaching out to help Qin Chuan, who jumped off the horse.
"Lord Zhou and Master Zhang are here, and they are waiting for you inside."
"Zhou Fu and Zhang Shiheng are here? Why didn't they accompany Li Hongzhang? It stands to reason that now Li Hongzhang should be holding a banquet to entertain those Huai army generals from afar, at this time, what did Zhou Fu, the No. 2 person in Zhili, do in his dyeing factory? ”
With a stomach full of questions, Qin Chuan threw the reins of the horse to Chu Yunfei behind him and stepped into the courtyard.
