Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

The Wubei Academy is located on the east bank of the Haihe River, and on the other side of the river is the Hai Avenue and the Zizhulin Wharf of the concession. It covers an area of more than 1,000 acres, surrounded by tall and thick earthen walls, like a small city. The head of the city imitates the style of the outer city and has a battlement, and there are two other forts. The Dajin Dragon Banner fluttered in the wind on the top of the city, as if it was announcing to the foreign tenants in the concession that this was Dajin land, and you should not be presumptuous!

Like the outer city, Tucheng also has a city gate, four soldiers carrying rifles there, seeing Yin Sheng, quickly knelt down to salute, Yin Sheng ignored them but urged the horse into the doorway, beckoned Zhao Guanhou and said:

"This school was originally the same as the yamen, it was open on weekdays, only during the Chinese New Year, and there was a one-month holiday. However, a few Thai-Western religions who practiced Buddhism had to go to worship every seven days, so they had to rest even on that day. You can go home that day, but remember that you have to be back by o'clock the next day. If you miss the hour, you will eat the military stick. The school is strictly controlled, even if it is sick leave, you have to pay a fine of money, and you have to affect the assessment, so you can't be careless. I heard that you have just gotten married, and you have received your clothes today, so you can go back to settle down with your family first, and make things clear, you can go back once every seven days, which is much better than most people. I will introduce you to another person, so that he will take care of you, so that you will not suffer. ”

Yin Sheng said, while leading Zhao Guanhou to find the room, not long after, he saw a short and fat civil official in his early thirties, with the soldier in, after meeting, he was busy giving Yin Sheng a salute, and Yin Sheng hurriedly got up and hugged him. "Xiao Na, you still come with me to do this, and deliberately give me an ugly look in front of outsiders, right? Guanhou come over, introduce you to the introduction, this is my helper, that adult Xihou, Xihou, this is the Zhao Guanhou I mentioned to you, the person recommended by the tenth master, but you have to be good at it, if you make the tenth master unhappy, you know his temper, and you can do it when you come to the door to smash the pot. ”

Yin Sheng said to Zhao Guanhou again: "Although I am the organizer here, on weekdays, I am at the small station, helping Rong An to train the army, and the affairs of the school are mainly watched by Xihou." In the future, you will have to count on him to take care of you in the school. Xiao Na is a good friend like his brother, and he has a wide hand, and he is obedient under him, and he will not treat you badly. ”

In front of Zhao Guanhou, Yin Sheng called Na Xihou Xiao Na, which was very disrespectful, but Na Xihou was very useful, and even treated Zhao Guanhou very politely

"To be honest, our subject has already been full, and the classes have been in place for three months, so it is not easy to arrange individuals to come in. But with the face of the tenth master and the orders of Lord Yin, even if you squeeze it, you have to squeeze out a seat. There is a section, the captain and the deputy of the team, and the large and small platoon leaders have already decided on the candidates, and they can't arrange it for you. But it doesn't matter, depending on when they violate military law, I'll change people and let you be on top. ”

Zhao Guanhou hurriedly thanked him, but he felt in his heart that Na Xihou was so loud that he might not really be able to do things, so he could not be counted on. After saying a few polite words, Na Xihou ordered someone to take Zhao Guanhou to go through the formalities, get the clothes, and said to Yin Sheng: "My lord, come here, let's use it in the school for dinner, I will tell the small kitchen, there is a new Shengfang crab here, let them make a ...... for the adults."

Here in the Martial Arts Academy, the students' accommodation, and clothing are all provided by the imperial court, and they don't have to pay for themselves. If the exam results are excellent, the imperial court will also give allowances and rewards, which is indeed a way out for the children of poor families to seek a career.

But when it comes to the actual operation, there are many powerful families who insert their children into it to seek a future for the future, and even in the school, the same is true. Even though Zhao Guanhou had the face of Na Xihou and Yin Sheng, he still handed over ten taels of silver before he received a brand new outfit.

A straw hat with a gold-plated brass badge, a yellow khaki military uniform, imitation of the Tessie system, a thick armed belt with brass buckles nailed to it, a pair of high-waisted fast boots, a yellow leather backpack, and a yellow leather cartridge box. The quartermaster, who had received his money, was also very kind, and spoke to him

"The teaching here is the most important military appearance, the military uniform is required to be spotless, the boots are required to be clean, and the copper buckle must always see the light. If the clothes are dirty and torn, and the brass buckles fall off, they will be punished. If there is any damage to the uniform, just look for me, and I will replace it with you. Those who don't talk about friendship, I'll give him this old goods, and when the time comes, let the teacher come to kill the powerful stick first, and he will know that it is powerful. ”

On this day, because it was not officially reported, Zhao Guanhou could go home, and when he came back wearing this military uniform, several households in the alley all gathered around to watch. I heard that he entered the martial arts academy and may be an officer in the future, and several elderly women praised him for being a young hero, and talked about how he took care of him when he was a teenager, as if they had brought up Zhao Guanhou.

After dealing with them for a few words, Zhao Guanhou went to the Su family first, and sure enough, Su Hanzhi was guarding his father there, and Su was still the same blind man, his spirit was sluggish, and if he had a sudden attack, he would shout. The room was stinky, and Rao is Su Hanzhi was diligent with his hands and feet, and he couldn't prevent the madman from smearing leakage everywhere, so he was helpless. Seeing him come back, Su Hanzhi forgot his sorrow and showed joy on his face

"Guanhou, have you really entered the Martial Arts Academy?"

"That's natural, with the sponsorship of ten grids, how can you not get in. When I got inside, I found that these people have many ways to collect money, and if they refuse to give money, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch. ”

"Then give. Our family's money is all earned by you, and you use it, and I approve of it. It's the Congregational Newspaper, but I don't know what to do, if the manuscript is broken, the male editor-in-chief comes to the door, but how can it be good. ”

"It's okay, I can come back one day a week, and when the time comes, write more, and you can take it to him slowly. After all, there is no need to worry about sales. As for the silver, I took a few hundred taels, and I thought it was enough. The father-in-law still has to use money here, but it always doesn't work like this, he should invite Langzhong, or he still has to invite Langzhong. ”

Su Hanzhi didn't answer, just went outside to prepare dinner for Zhao Guanhou, and when he finished eating, Hou Xing came over to replace him, and Zhao Guanhou said to him, "I am now in the army, and I really can't take care of the affairs of the pot guy." The owner of this small shoe shop will be handed over to you to sit on. If you have any trouble, come back to me and I'll help you out. ”

Hou Xing hurriedly shook his head, "This is not good, this pattern was brought down by the eldest brother, how can I come to sit on this village master, isn't it a white wolf with empty gloves?" This matter must not be done, if the eldest brother is too busy, I will first use the identity of the military advisor to take charge of this pot guy, but the position of the owner of the village is still the eldest brother's, and others do not want to take it. ”

Zhao Guanhou said it a few times, but Hou Xing didn't accept it, and he had no choice. Hou Xing was an intellectual, knowing that he was going to the school tomorrow, so he took over the messenger who served Su Blind early, and left this night for the husband and wife. Su Hanzhi also fought hard to socialize, let her husband go crazy on herself, and before dawn the next day, she woke up Zhao Guanhou early and sent him out to answer the problem.

Washing his face and combing his hair, just like his sister took care of that naughty brother when she was a child, these procedures were all handled by Su Hanzhi for Zhao Guanhou. When he was sent out of the alley, he comforted, "Don't worry about the family, I can do it myself, not to mention that there is a Fengzhi sister to take care of me, you just have to go to school with peace of mind, and you will have a certain background in the future."

When Zhao Guanhou came to the gate of the Wubei Academy, the sky had just dawned, and he had just settled the rickshaw fare, and a person rushed out from the side of the road, and said as he walked: "Guanhou, don't rush in first, we have something to say here." ”

Zhao Guanhou saw that the person who came was Cao Zhongkun, and his face was very solemn, and it was important to estimate that it was a matter of importance, and as he came to the side of the road, he touched a pack of cigarettes from his arms and handed it to him, "Third brother, you are here so early, what time did you come?" ”

"I happened to come to the school yesterday to hand over some business, and I stayed here at night and didn't leave, what I was afraid of was that you would break in recklessly. In the former, Li Xiushan and I told you about this, but you didn't respond, I thought you didn't want to be a soldier, or you wanted to be a soldier, and you also went to the barracks to eat imperial food. Who knew that you had such a great ability, and you actually entered the armed forces, but there is an enemy of you here. ”

"Enemy...... The third brother is talking about Pang Ershao, right? I've heard people say that the Pang family has a son in the school, most of them here? ”

Cao Zhongkun nodded, "That's right, he is not only studying here, but also has a very good popularity." When I was in the barracks, I often heard people praise him, saying that he was bold and careful, capable, and a good seedling. Originally, after two years of study, he worked for the army to supervise Shi Jizhi's protection and let him study for another year. said that he wanted him to hone and hone again, but in fact, there was no good position for him in the army at that time, and he was afraid that he would be too small to be promoted. Now he is a teaching assistant in this school, and he is friendly with Shi Jizhi and Zhou Dianchen, I am afraid that you will enter recklessly, and he will find you a little problem, and you will clean up half to death. ”

So that's the case? Zhao Guanhou didn't expect that the road was narrow, and the second young man of the Pang family was serving as an assistant teacher here. The county official is not as good as the current management, if he is embarrassed by himself, it will indeed be very troublesome, it seems that he has to find a way to find an Olympic aid.

Without waiting for him to ask, Cao Zhongkun had already taken the initiative to say: "I came to think of a way for you, in this school, although Yin Wulou can do it, but he is often in the barracks, and it is difficult to help with things here." Na Xihou is a little mediocre, and he is not valued in the school, even if he cares, it is difficult to keep you safe. Shi Jiyun and Zhou Dianchen are both overseers, and they have a lot of authority in the school, and they are the only ones who teach and practice, so it is difficult for Xihou to help you. If you really want to find a competent backer, you still have to find a foreigner. ”

Since the beginning of the Jiangning Treaty, it has become the norm to be afraid of foreigners, and the former minister of Beiyang, Zhang Tong, is bent on foreign affairs, and specially hires foreign teachers from Prussia to teach Western military drills with a large amount of money. These foreigners are to the academy what the concession is to Dajin, they are all countries on the country and people on the people.

is not only a salary, it is several times higher than the general office's salary, and in the school, it is also like the status of the emperor. If they are befriended, it will not be easy for Shi Jiyun and the others to do anything hacking.

However, the way of foreigners is not easy to follow, with tens of thousands of people in Dajin country and more than 10,000 officials, there are only a dozen people who can handle foreign affairs well and deal well with foreigners. Cao Zhongkun is not good enough, and there is no means to make friends with foreigners, but he has always studied in the martial arts academy, and he has a little understanding of several teachings, so he introduced to Zhao Guanhou:

"Among the four foreign teachings, Schmidt is good at wine, Qi Kaifen is good at antiques, and the others are not clear. But they're all Prussians, and if you make friends with one, you'll be able to make friends with the other three. Didn't the tenth master give you a set of tableware? You transfer them to Qi Kaifen, and allow him to accept your affection and serve as your backer. ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the third brother, I have written this down, but if I go back like this now, I will inevitably be laughed at by Pang Er. I'll go first to see the situation, if he really wants to trouble me, it's not too late to go to a foreigner for help. ”

Cao Zhongkun instructed him again, and then said that he also took care of a few people for him and begged them for help, but he didn't have much to do in the school.

There was something in his barracks, so he couldn't stay here too much, so after telling these words, he went to the station to buy a ticket, and Zhao Guanhou went directly into the city gate and went to the playground to report.

According to the rules of the armed forces academy, after blowing the trumpet every morning, the students of each class gather in the playground to practice marching formations. In the afternoon, they went back to learn knowledge according to their respective courses. Zhao Guanhou was wearing a uniform, naturally no one stopped him, and when he entered the city gate and came all the way to the vicinity of the playground, he could hear the neat drumbeat, and when he got closer, he heard a man shouting in Prussian, "Ready!" …… Aim! …… Left! "It seems to be training the troops, but I don't know why there is only a preparatory aim, but there is no shooting.

He first found a soldier and asked him to go to Na Xihou, and then Na Xihou led him to the playground to report. Na Xihou said as he walked: "You came early today, I don't have to go out to exercise, you have to stay until the afternoon." That is, you can hide today, and after today, even if you want to take a break, it is extremely difficult. Fortunately, Lord Yin is very familiar with these Prussians, and if you mention Lord Yin in the future, these teachings will look at you differently. ”

He led Zhao Guanhou all the way into the playground, only to see hundreds of students lined up in several phalanxes, each phalanx has a flag-bearer holding high the Yellow Dragon flag, a military musician hanging the drum on his chest, beating the drum with both hands, and the troops marching forward in the rhythm of the drum.

When Zhao Guanhou came in, he was very eye-catching, the foreign instructors on the platform no longer issued orders, and the students below could only stop.

A man in his fifties, wearing a fourth-grade official uniform, picked up the hem of these kimono clothes and got down from the platform, and greeted Na Xihou, "That adult, what's going on?" I'm training foot drill now, and maybe I'll be practicing marksmanship later, so what if you're not careful, what can you do? ”

This person has a thin body, a face like coals, long eyebrows and thin eyes, a pair of glasses stuck on his nose, and a very unkind look. Na Xihou hurriedly smiled, "Brother Ji, this is our new student Zhao Guanhou, I have already said it to you yesterday." He received his coat and hat yesterday, and he came to report today, and I brought him here so that he could know which team he belonged to. ”

"You...... Is it Zhao Guanhou? The man spoke with a very strong southern accent, and as he spoke, he carefully looked at Zhao Guanhou for a while, and finally his eyes fell on the severed finger of his left hand.

"The people in this section are already full, but they have to squeeze one person in, Yin Huiban is really inconsiderate of those of us who do things, how hard it is. If you want to go to school, how can you also be coarse and well-written, healthy, a crippled, how to enter the school, even if you enter the school, how to serve the country? ”

He snorted, "Zhao Guanhou, this official is Shi Jizhi, the superintendent of this school, and I did this overseer, and I was personally ordered by Zhang Zhongtang back then." His old man once said that the military academy is a place for the training of pillars of the imperial court, not a place for people to be promoted and make a fortune. I don't care whose path you followed, whose relationship you dredged, or how much backer you have. I only know how to do things for the court and be loyal to Long Live I. If you can't pass the assessment, I won't let you go to school, even if you take it, it's useless. Someone's coming. ”

He first took Zhao Guanhou to the playground, and then ordered, and after a while, someone came over with a revolver. Shi Jizhi handed the gun in front of Zhao Guanhou

"If you want to learn martial arts, you have to go into battle to kill the enemy, and if you can't use foreign guns, your time will be in vain. Will this gun make it? I'll put five jars here, and if you can hit three out of five, I'll let you read to the class. If you can't get in, I won't let you run in vain, there is a shortage of helpers in the kitchen, so you can go to the kitchen first, and then follow everyone to practice, when to practice your skills, it's not too late to enter school. ”
