Huang Xing did not let go of this opportunity, and immediately released the news that Liaodong Foreign Trade Company wanted to recruit a large number of talents. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, in less than two days, the news that Liaodong Foreign Trade Company spent a lot of money to recruit talents reached the ears of everyone in Hanyang.

Compared to other provinces in China, Hubei does have a much more enlightened atmosphere of Western learning.

However, in many official institutions, especially in the officialdom, even if Zhang Zhidong repeatedly supported it, the old faction still did not see any shadow of Western scholars in the officialdom, where the old faction occupied the absolute main force.

Many talents who study Western studies with the idea of serving the country, under the exclusion and suppression of these officials, can only be at the bottom of the officialdom and do the most things, which can be said to have no way to serve the country.

Mo Wenchang, who studied in Europe for three years, came back and was introduced by his family to work in the government.

I thought that with my own talent, it wouldn't take long for me to get promoted.

However, two years later, he was still engaged in a yamen in the Governor's Palace. As for the reason, Mo Wenchang already knew it from several colleagues who also studied Western studies and failed to pass the imperial examination.

His direct boss took the imperial examination for more than ten years before he was promoted, and he did not pass the imperial examination, and he was young, so he was always pressed by this boss, and he had no chance of promotion.

Besides, in officialdom, even if you have a backstage, you have the opportunity to be promoted. Because he studied Western studies and did not pass the imperial examination, even if he was talented, he could not be reused by the imperial court.

In the past two years, Mo Wenchang has been disappointed or disappointed in this rotten court and government.

If it weren't for earning money to support his family, Mo Wenchang would have wanted to leave this officialdom that was neither angry nor had a future.

As usual, Karen Mok had just dragged her tired body home, ready to squint for a while.

The two friends were very surprised to come and visit together.

After they told each other about their various encounters in Yamen, a friend suddenly reminded: "You have all heard of Liaodong Foreign Trade Company......

"Haven't you heard of it? The opening ceremony was given a rifle as a return gift, and this is the first time I've heard of such a thing. After the news reached the yamen, everyone talked about the company's big spending......" another friend said.

Mo Wenchang also became interested and said: "I heard that this company was established by the Liaodong Army, and the things sold in the company were all captured by the Liaodong Army on the battlefield. I don't know if it's true. If it is true, this Liaodong Army is too powerful, and it can win battles against the two major powers of Japan and Russia, which is much stronger than the imperial army......"

"It's all true. I also went to see it today, and it was full of military supplies, rifles, pistols, and command knives equipped by the Japanese army. Military canned ...... There is everything, and the price is not expensive......" The friend who was the first to mention Liaodong Foreign Trade Company replied with an affirmative face.

"Then did you buy anything...... Mo Wenchang subconsciously asked.

"I bought a pistol and 10 rounds of ammunition that is said to be only equipped by the squadron leader of the Japanese army, and used it for self-defense ......"

As he spoke, a small revolver was pulled out and placed in front of the three men.

Mo Wenwei, the only one who had ever been abroad and stayed in the foreign army, looked at it and affirmed: "This is a pistol that only officers can equip with, it seems that the Liaodong Army often defeats the Japanese in Liaodong, otherwise they would never have captured this kind of pistol......"

After putting away the pistol with a satisfied face, my friend continued: "I went to the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company to buy a pistol, and I also met Mr. Huang, director of the Political Department of the Liaodong Army. I heard that I studied Western studies. This Director Huang took the initiative to come out to see me, do you know what this Director Huang talked to me about? ”

What is the director of the political department, they are not clear.

However, they knew one fact, Huang Xing was a high-ranking member of the Liaodong Army, otherwise Huang Xing would never have thought that he would be able to see the governor Zhang Zhidong.

Therefore, as soon as the friend finished speaking, Mo Wenchang looked at the other party and waited for the following.

"This Director Huang wants to recruit me and let me go to Liaodong. Do things for the Liaodong Army......" my friend said with a mysterious face.

"Director Huang said that when I arrived in Liaodong, the monthly salary that the Liaodong Army gave me was definitely twice as much as it is now......

"When the time comes. If you want to join the army, you can join the army, and if you want to do things in the local government, you can go to the local government to do things. For a person like me who was born in the West, when he arrives in Liaodong, he is at least a deputy county magistrate......"

"Do you know the deputy county magistrate, it is the deputy county magistrate, who assists the county magistrate in managing a county. Very big ...... rights"

"If you join the army, after a few months of training, you will at least be a battalion instructor."

"You don't know the battalion instructor, that is a military position that only the Liaodong Army has, and it is on a par with the battalion commander, and he is in charge of six or seven hundred officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army. The battalion commander is in charge of fighting and training the troops, and the instructor is responsible for ideological work and logistical ......"

"Anyway, there's a lot of talking, and there's a lot of things I don't understand...... However, I specifically asked about it, a talent like Brother Mo who has studied abroad, when he arrives in Liaodong, as long as he passes the assessment of the deputy county magistrate for three months, the minimum will be the county magistrate at that time......"

"Brother Mo, don't you always want to work in the Yamen, you can consider going to Liaodong. The people there sue again, and give you a platform. Not to mention anything else, more than twice as much as the money can at least make my sister-in-law live a little better. In the past two years, my sister-in-law has followed you from Shanghai to come here, but she has suffered a lot......"

As a person who loves to ask questions, Mo Wenchang still has a good impression of the Liaodong Army, which dares to fight the two major powers of Japan and Russia.

Therefore, after his friend finished speaking, Mo Wenchang, who didn't want to stay here for a long time, was moved.

For the sake of caution, he still asked his friend, "Then why don't you go......"

"Who said I wouldn't go......" my friend replied with a look of disobedience.

"I'm single, and I'm not alive anywhere...... In a word, heroes come out of troubled times, I feel that only when I go to Liaodong and join the Liaodong Army can I live a different ......"

Therefore, I agreed to Director Huang's solicitation on the spot. Half a month later, follow him to Liaodong ......"

"You don't know, this Liaodong Army is very different. After confirming that I would follow them to Liaodong, they directly gave me a settlement fee of fifty taels of silver, and I was not worried at all about running away with the silver......

"I'm a reader, and I still have the backbone I should have. If nothing else, with this trust, I will also go to Liaodong......"

"If I take the silver, I will be a member of the Liaodong Army. Director Huang asked me to see if I could find more people who studied Western studies to go to Liaodong, and I thought of you, how about it, whether you can go or not, if you don't believe me, you can go to the foreign trade company in person tomorrow. “

After listening to his friend's answer, Mo Wenchang was directly stunned.

Fifty taels of silver relied on a promise, and it was given when it was given, which also proved that the Liaodong Army was different.

Thinking of this, Mo Wenchang immediately made a decision, even if he couldn't go to Liaodong in the end, he would go to the foreign trade company to meet Huang Xing.

The next day, when he saw Huang Xing, he knew that Huang Xing, like himself, had also stayed in school. Mo Wenchang immediately decided to take his family to Liaodong to create his own glory.

Because Huang Xing's first shot was too loud, he knocked out the reputation of Liaodong Foreign Trade Company.

In addition, Huang Xing used a special solicitation method to pull people through people. In less than ten days, Huang Xing has recruited nearly 200 talents to study Western studies, and this number is still increasing. (To be continued.) )
