After the tenth day of the first month of the Spring Festival, Yuan Keding and Yuan Kewen and other students studying in the Xia Empire arrived in Beijing and led them to the military camp of the second town of Nanyuan, where Yuan Keding let them eat and live with the officers and soldiers in the barracks, and each of them served as a platoon commander to conduct comprehensive training in the second town, including artillery, cavalry, and baggage soldiers.

Yuan Kewen couldn't stay for 2 days, and returned to the Forbidden City in Beijing from the barracks, leaving Yuan Keding to lead a group of students to toss in the barracks.

Since the instructors in the second town were all Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers sent by the Xia Empire, the training subjects were similar to the training items received by Yuan Keding and others, and the difference was the training intensity.

The first is target shooting, Yuan Keding and others first performed a performance, a fixed target at a distance of 100 meters, 5 bullets, everyone was above 45 rings, and immediately shocked the officers and soldiers of the 2nd town; Then, Yuan Keding announced that the army would conduct live-fire training twice a day, and each person must shoot 20 rounds of ammunition in the morning and afternoon.

This makes the logistics officer of the army do not know how to deal with it, 40 rounds of ammunition per person per day, and close to 500,000 rounds of ammunition a day, within a few days, the stock of bullets in the second town will be emptied, you know, now in the Chinese Empire, even if you have money, it is not easy to buy bullets, if they use these bullets for targeting, if there is an emergency, I really don't know how to deal with it, this crown prince really doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

According to the daily management model of the Praetorian Guard of the Xia Empire, the troops had to carry out 3 kilometers of weight-bearing cross-country every day, 10-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country once a week, and 30-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country once a month.

Yuan Keding and others followed the management model of the Xia Empire, but they just went off-road, and they made the army miserable, even the grassroots officers couldn't stand it.

At noon, before shooting the target, they also practiced physical fitness subjects such as standing in a military posture, crawling forward, jumping on the spot, and squatting on a horse pile; in the afternoon, there were skill training subjects such as fighting bayonets; in the evening, there were cultural classes such as explaining how to avoid shells and bullets and how to dig trenches; and later there were also items such as emergency gatherings at night.

Every day, the soldiers are trained like bears, and they want to die.

The ruler of the 2nd town ran to Yuan Shikai to complain, hoping to make Yuan Keding stop this kind of training method to torment people, Yuan Shikai felt that his son's training method should be the essence of the Xia Empire's training of officers and soldiers, not only did not stop Yuan Keding's action, but asked the officers of the 3rd town and the 4th town to go to the 2nd town to observe and study.

Just watched for 2 days, and all the people regarded Yuan Keding and others as devils, and they had to walk around when they met, for fear of being caught by Yuan Keding as a typical example.

Looking at the officers and soldiers who are tired like grandsons every day, the rule of the distressed 2nd town is about to think of the rebellion, this is training, this is simply taking people's lives without life.

After Yuan Kewen returned home, he gathered more than 10 younger brothers and sisters of appropriate age to conduct cultural classes, physical fitness classes and self-reliance assessments, and reviewed the ideological and moral character of each child, preparing to take a few younger brothers and sisters to study abroad when he returned to the Xia Empire this time.

Yuan Kewen is with his younger brothers and sisters every day, and has won unanimous praise from all the aunts, and they all praise Yuan Kewen for being sensible in front of Yuan Shikai, knowing that he has taken care of his younger brothers and sisters, which makes Yuan Shikai very satisfied.

In contrast to Yuan Kewen's unanimous praise from his aunts, Yuan Keding was constantly complained by officers at all levels.

Yuan Shikai felt very incomprehensible that Yuan Keding had received so many complaints, so he called Yuan Kewen to his study for questioning.

After Yuan Shikai explained the situation, Yuan Kewen said: "Dad, I already knew that there would be such consequences, so I only stayed in the barracks for 2 days and came back." Since Dad wants to know why, then I'll talk about it in detail. ”

"Okay, the more detailed the better!" Yuan Shikai said.

Yuan Kewen sorted out his thoughts and began to explain: "Dad, I'll first talk about the treatment of the Xia Empire's Praetorian Guard, now the soldiers at the bottom of the Xia Empire's Praetorian Guard have a monthly allowance of 20 yuan, that is, a salary of 20 taels of silver per month, which is something that the Chinese Empire can't do, and these 20 taels of silver are the actual amount, and they will not be deducted from any military uniforms, meals and other expenses." “

Yuan Shikai said: "This is understandable, the Xia Empire has a small population, and it is necessary to have high salaries to ensure the number and combat effectiveness of the troops. “

Yuan Kewen didn't pay attention to what Yuan Shikai thought, but continued: "In addition to these treatments, the Xia Empire is also responsible for finding a partner for each officer and soldier, and after finding the object, 20 acres of good land will be allocated, and if there is a child in the future, each child will also have 20 acres of land; The state arranges for the local government to build a courtyard house with 5 main houses, and will also pay 3 months' salary, that is, 60 taels of silver, as a settlement fee, and last year, if there were children, it was a reward of 70 taels of silver per household; If there is a war merit, it will also be divided into titles, and different titles have different political treatment and land and other wealth. None of this can be compared with the Chinese Empire. “

Yuan Shikai had no choice but to say: "The Xia Empire is indeed wealthy, and it is not comparable to our Chinese Empire. “

Yuan Kewen continued: "The army has one month's salary as a reward at the end of each year, and the family members also have benefits such as fish, meat, grain, salt, and cotton cloth at the end of each year. “

Yuan Shikai also sighed: "This Xia Empire is really rich for his mother!" “

Yuan Kewen continued: "Dad, what would happen if the soldiers of the Chinese Empire had this treatment? “

"Then you don't need to ask, when you train, you will train with your life, and when you fight, you will not be afraid of death!"

Yuan Kewen continued to explain: "Dad, their slogan is to sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime, of course, this is not important, the important thing is that their diet is really good. Even the free breakfast and lunch that their elementary school students eat is better than the small canteen that our officers eat; We are there, if we don't train hard, we will definitely be fat like fat pigs in less than 2 months; In the morning, there are milk, eggs, bread, sausages, large meat buns, fried rice porridge, etc., all of which are eaten casually, and there is no limit to the quantity, and there must be meat, vegetables, soy products, etc., rice, steamed buns, fruits, etc. There are canned luncheon meat, canned fruits, chocolates and other supplies for going out to fight; Look at what our soldiers of the Chinese Empire eat? They can't even see a little bit of meat, eat green vegetables and pickles, eat coarse grains, and sometimes they can't eat enough, how strong do they have to train? The physical strength can't keep up, if you train according to the training mode of the Xia Empire, it will be an overdraft of life, and it will be harmful, so I didn't continue to stay in the barracks, I really can't stand it. “

When Yuan Shikai heard this, he fell into deep thought, the reason why the instructors of the Xia Empire did not train the Beiyang Army well was because of these, compared with the treatment of the Xia Imperial Army, the treatment of the Chinese Imperial Army was not as good as that of Huazi, and it was no wonder that Wang Yingkai's 10 mixed associations were unwilling to stay in the battle sequence of the Chinese Empire, and all returned to the Peninsula Special Administrative Region, and the immediate interests were not allowed to be given up by anyone.

Yuan Kewen saw that Yuan Shikai didn't speak, so he continued: "Dad, the height of the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard of the Xia Empire is generally above 180, and the height of the officers and soldiers of our Chinese Empire is generally around 165, and the physical fitness gap is huge, how can you train them with the same training intensity?" It will definitely leave them with a lasting wound. “

Yuan Shikai felt that his second son had indeed learned a lot in the Xia Empire, it seems that what Vice Premier Zhou said was right, the Xia Empire was sincere in helping to cultivate successors, rather than taking them hostage, for fear that they would not be safe on the way back, and sent 2 destroyers to escort them back, and repeatedly told them that the two could not take the same destroyer, just for fear of accidents, they were too thoughtful, it seems that they still underestimated the Xia Empire, they did not regard the Chinese Empire as an enemy at all, maybe, The Chinese Empire did not even qualify to be an enemy of the Xia Empire.

So, Yuan Shikai had the intention of testing Yuan Kewen, so he said: "Wen'er, now that the Minister of War Feng Guozhang is training troops in Jiangnan and has newly established 8 towns, he already feels a little stiff, and he actually deducts the taxes and silver handed over to the central government by the southern provinces, what do you say should be done?" ”

Yuan Kewen thought about it for a while and said: "The separation of military and political affairs and the prohibition of military interference in politics are a fatal red line, otherwise there will be warlord secession, which will lead to endless civil wars in the empire, and it is absolutely forbidden for similar things to happen; If he does not dare to come back, it proves that he has already rebelled, and he should be transferred to Beijing as Minister of the Army, and ask him to immediately eradicate Uncle Feng and eliminate him before he has yet to develop, so that the damage caused will be minimal and the social impact will be minimal. ”

"Then what should I do with your Uncle Wang Yingkai? You can't let him stay in the Peninsula all the time! Yuan Shikai continued to ask.

Yuan Kewen knew that this was his father's test of himself, so after careful consideration, he replied: "If Uncle Feng rebels and transfers Uncle Duan to the post of Minister of the Army, in order to maintain stability in the frontier, the Frontier Special Zone cannot be removed for the time being, and it is better to order Uncle Wang to serve as the general of the Frontier Special Zone, and then send an administrator of the Frontier Zone, it is better to implement the separation of military and political affairs." “

"There are still some old armies in the empire who refuse to cut their braids, how to deal with them?"

Yuan Kewen said: "Dad, those are all small things, which shows that their hearts are forward, and they have to clean them up one by one; At present, it is important to deal with Uncle Feng's affairs first, Jiangnan is a tax-paying land, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible. “

Yuan Shikai felt that this method was good, it was similar to what he thought, it seemed that Wen'er had really grown up.

After receiving Yuan Shikai's order, General Staff Officer Wang Shizhen sent a telegram to Feng Guozhang in the name of the General Staff Headquarters on the 22nd of the first month, asking him to return to Beijing within five days to report on his work.

Feng Guozhang felt that he had indeed made a mistake, and it was not the best opportunity to rebel at present, so he had to return to Beijing obediently.

After Feng Guozhang returned to Beijing, the General Staff issued a circular dismissing Feng Guozhang from all his posts and admonishing military and political dignitaries across the country that no one should violate the national policy of separating military and political affairs, and that it was the red line of the empire that military personnel did not interfere in politics; At the same time, Duan Qirui was transferred to Beijing urgently to serve as Minister of the Army; Wang Yingkai served as the general of the Frontier Special Zone; Tang Shaoyi acted as the administrator of the Frontier Special Administrative Region.

Even the Minister of War said that he would withdraw, and this really had the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, and all the army forces did not dare to interfere in local government affairs after that, and even put an end to the occurrence of such incidents as burning, killing, and looting, but the life of the officers and men of the army was even more difficult.
