Section 104 Recruitment

"Brother Yang, you can always play this kind of scary thing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When Yuan Shikai saw Yang Chao, he seemed very happy.

The reason for his rejoicing was simple, it was enough for him to equip two towns with weapons and equipment.

What's more, as soon as the Germans made trouble, Zaifeng immediately became stupid, and during this period of time, because of Yuan Shikai's criticism of secretly recruiting troops, it was over.

Yang Chao hurriedly pleaded: "Lord Yuan can save the lives of the little people." ”

Yang Chao lost his official body and immediately became a small citizen.

Yuan Shikai said: "The British just want the railway, they won't want your life, as for the Japanese, you can ignore it, they win this time to count, if they can't win, I don't have to be afraid of them in the future." ”

When Yang Chao saw Yuan Shikai so calm and calm, he knew that Yuan Shikai had already settled everything.

But Yang Chao really couldn't promise to give the railway to the British: "The railway must not be handed over to the British." ”

Yuan Shikai sighed: "Why are you so troubled." ”

Yang Chao smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to make a living for the country." I just don't know what the emperor's idea is? ”

Yuan Shikai said: "Don't worry, brother, the emperor is reluctant to kill you, a large group of nobles from the Eight Banners have been saying good things to you recently, is your subordinate very effective." ”

Ma Tengfei is really very effective, in fact, Ma Tengfei has been active in Beijing for a long time, and he is very familiar with those Eight Banners children.

The silver tickets of millions of taels of silver in Ma Tengfei's hand were all found by Yang Chao from Cixi, Guangxu and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who accompanied the gang, and they were all silver tickets with the ticket number of the Jin merchants.

I have to say that those Jin merchants are still very powerful, although these old Westerners were robbed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, but when they dug out the silver cellars under their respective trees, the ticket number was immediately reopened, and under the influence of the robbery of the Eight-Nation Alliance, no one in Beijing dared to put money at home.

Many nobles who were robbed at home and only had silver tickets on them relied on taking money from the ticket number to get by, so all the money they made afterwards was also deposited into the ticket number. Of course, a wealthy man like Yixuan is directly deposited with HSBC.

Always the ticket number not only survived, but also developed slightly, so Yang Chao's batch of silver tickets has also been settled, which is very suitable for gifts.

After Ma Tengfei represented Yang Chao in the capital, a large group of Eight Banners had a good impression of Yang Chao, and Yang ** had become the second generation of foreign affairs masters after Li Hongzhang.

Such a foreign expert, and was recognized by the children of the Eight Banners as a loyal figure to the Qing Dynasty, Zaifeng was really reluctant to kill. But the notes of the British and the Japanese did put him under a lot of pressure, and the Germans made a fuss again, claiming that they would garrison troops in Weixian, even if they had a good impression of Yang Chao, he did not dare to let Yang Chao compete with the foreigners.

"You said that this Yang Chao is indeed an expert in foreign affairs, why do you like to compete with foreigners?"

Jae-jin complained in front of the emperor.

"Hmph, didn't Yang Chao compete with the Germans and build the Yanji Railway. Competing with the French, didn't you also take down the Zhengtai Railway? Isn't it because the foreigners are making trouble with him because he has taken back the national power for our Great Qing Kingdom, and isn't it because he is a loyal minister. ”

Zai Tao glared at Zai Zhen with an indignant face.

Zaizhen is the son of Yixi, the old fox is still very capable, when Cixi was there, he befriended Cixi, sent his concubine to play mahjong with Cixi when he was fine, and lost a lot of money to Cixi. At that time, Zaifeng's group of young people hated to kill Yixuan, and they all regarded Yixuan, who sold his official beard, as the scum of the Great Qing Dynasty, and he was going to ruin the country of the bannermen.

But after Zaifeng became the emperor, he soon reused Yiqiao, the traitor has no ability, what kind of rape do you take, Yixuan is a way to make Zaifeng like him, as for what method he used, it is still a mystery.

But Zaifeng began to like Yixuan, and his younger brothers didn't like it, so they often targeted Zai Zhen.

"Okay, don't fight. Yang Chao is naturally loyal and can also do foreign affairs, but he is young and does not know how to measure inches. ”

Zaifeng immediately ended the quarrel of several Eight Banner nobles.

Zai Ze said: "The emperor is sage." Yang Chao took back the right of way, if my Great Qing Kingdom handed him over to foreigners, wouldn't it be shameful. ”

Ma Tengfei really won the support of Zaitao and Zai Ze, the two emperors' younger brothers.

But Zai Zhen said: "If you don't hand over Yang Chao, how can foreigners be willing to give up." ”

Zaifeng said: "Calling Yang Chao into Beijing, I just want to hear his opinion, if he can solve it best, if he can't solve it, he can only be wronged in the end." ”

Every time Yang Chao caused an incident, it could always be solved smoothly in the end, and it could also make the Qing Dynasty cheaper, and when the Yanji Railway was built, the Germans were not happy, and in the end he solved it; The Cantonese-Hankou Railway, where the Americans are also he said; On the Zhengding Railway, Sheng Xuanhuai said that the French would have opinions, and in the end the French did not speak.

Zaifeng really hopes to see Yang Chao solve the problem this time, although every time it is frightening, but this feeling of pain and happiness is actually quite likable and exciting.

"Your Majesty, Yang Chao is here."

"Come in."

The next day, Yang Chao arrived in Beijing.

"The minister has three strategies, you can retreat the German soldiers, and you can eliminate the heroic spirit!"

As soon as he saw Zaifeng, Zaifeng first reprimanded Yang Chao, and then asked Yang Chao how to solve the current problem.

"Say!"

Zaifeng said busily.

Yang Chao said: "First, the Germans pretended to have someone sabotage the railway and wanted to garrison troops in Weixian. Xiaomin asked the imperial court to train Shandong road guards to cut off the excuse of the Germans. The British accuse the small people of breaking public international law, which is a crime to be added, and it is nothing more than an attempt to conspire with our Shandong Railway. Don't give in. If the British pretend to use the Shandong Railway to Henan, then half of our country will fall into the hands of the British. The Germans could never see that the British monopolized the north, and they would inevitably fight each other. ”

Zaifeng frowned, if the British and Germans are fighting for China, this is another situation of an eight-nation alliance, and the Qing Dynasty will be divided.

Zaifeng didn't wait for Yang Chao to finish speaking, and said, "How do you want to control the British?" ”

Yang Chao said: "United Germany makes the British." Let Germany intervene with Britain. The British tried to transport troops to the Russians, but they only wanted to transport troops to the Russians, and the transportation of troops to the Russians was only related to Japan. As long as the weather drags on for a month or two, wait for Russia and Japan to decide the winner. If the Russians win, the Japanese side will not have to pay attention, and Britain will have no excuse to win over Russia. ”

Taking advantage of international events to fool Feng, Zaifeng also felt that it made sense, the Japanese would have no temper if they lost, and at that time, the Qing Kingdom would not have to explain to the Japanese, and the British were now just talking about things through the Japanese, and Japan ignored them, and the British were naturally not interesting.

And the Russians won, the British really need to look at the eyes of the Russians, Yang Chao can transport troops to the Russians, it seems that he has a lot to do with the Russians, and the Russians will definitely come forward to protect Yang Chao.

In other words, as long as the Russo-Japanese War is dragged out, the Russians will come forward at that time, and the Germans will need to take the lead in dragging Britain first.

According to Yang Chao, if you want the Germans to come out, you only need to train a road guard?

Zaifeng felt that what Yang Chao said was very unreasonable: "How to make the Germans come out?" ”

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The Germans don't want to see the British take over Shandong's railways more than I do. They will definitely come forward, and the Germans will have no problem talking to the British for two or three months. The Germans are now going to garrison Weixian, mainly for the British. But if I don't give an explanation to the Germans, they will really have to garrison troops under the pretense of being real. ”

Zaifeng understood, it turned out that the training was to give the Germans a step, and the Germans said to protect the railway, and the Qing Dynasty immediately organized and trained road guards, and this face was given, and there would be no trouble.

It's just that the relationship is complicated, involving Japan, Russia, Britain and Germany and other countries, and it really involves the whole body, Zaifeng feels that ordinary people really can't play this thing, that is, Li Hongzhang, and now Yang Chao, the more I look at it, the more I feel that Yang Chao has the ability.

"Then who do you think can train this road guard?"

Zaifeng said again.

Yang Chao said: "Xiaomin-"

As soon as he said this, Zaifeng shouted: "You don't want to be a small people, no one treats you as a small people, although you have wiped your official, but you are still my courtier of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Yang Chao hurriedly said: "The minister lost his words! The minister thought that the Shandong governor Zhou Fu had been very effective in training recruits, and he could compete with Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army. If Lord Zhou Fu comes forward and trains tens of thousands of road guards, he will definitely be able to become an elite soldier! ”

"Yes, I see."

Zaifeng's face immediately looked a little unpleasant.

Yang Chao knew in his heart that it was okay not to mention Yuan Shikai, but when Yuan Shikai was mentioned as a headache, and Zhou Fu was training soldiers, he would definitely not rest assured, everyone knew that Zhou Fu and Yuan Shikai were one party, and the relationship was irreversible, Zhou Fu's soldiers were equivalent to Yuan Shikai's soldiers.

The new army in the town where Zhou Fu was trained in Shandong was an officer sent by Yuan Shikai from top to bottom, and the commander was Feng Guozhang, a general under Yuan Shikai.

However, Yang Chao should have organized and trained a new army in a town, but he never took action, and like other provinces, although he received an order, there were really few people who really ran the new army.

"Stand down."

Zaifeng had a headache and began to think about this training candidate, and he must not let Zhou Fu have a reason to train an army.

In other words, Yuan Shikai can no longer be allowed to control an army.

After Yang Chao left, Zaifeng immediately discussed with Zaitao, Zaitao is still the minister of military training, and theoretically speaking, he should be responsible for the national training of recruits.

Zaitao thinks: "The minister thinks that Yang Chao is suitable." ”

Zaifeng said: "But at this juncture, how can you enable him?" ”

The removal of Yang Chao is an explanation to the British and Japanese, so they are still very worried about using Yang Chao.

"Yang Chao is now white, and the road guard army is not my Qing Dynasty official army, why not let the railway company do it, as a group exercise."

Zaifeng nodded, feeling that this method is very good, in this way, Yang Chao can not be an official, and he can train again.

"Decree—"

Zaifeng was about to draft a decree immediately.

Zaitao said: "The emperor is slow, it's better not to draft an order." Weichen can inform Yang Chao. This is not an official matter! ”

Zaitao emphatically emphasized the three words of non-governmental, and Zaifeng immediately became enlightened, and this matter really can't be done by the purpose.

When he was an hour, Zaitao met Yang Chao, and the two met for the first time, but they soon talked happily.

At the time of parting, Yang Chao had a big silver ticket, which was already in Zaitao's arms.

"Go put up a notice, we're recruiting!"

Yang Chao's telegram was soon sent to Shandong.
