Guangzhou General Bao Nian is a Manchurian Zheng Huang Banner born, the family is prominent, he has been guarding Liangguang for many years, he has already reached the transfer period, but he has not left office, but he can still sit in the position of the general and resolutely do not move.

Li Yi bought a fake braid the day before yesterday, and felt uncomfortable wearing it on his head, so after trying it for a long time, he finally threw it in the hotel and wore a brand new military uniform to the general's mansion. As soon as Li Yi arrived at the General's Mansion, he was invited into the guest hall by Bao Nian's adjutant.

Li Yi entered the guest hall and saw Bao Nian sitting on the main seat, Li Yi knew in his heart that he wanted to salute, but he pretended to forget to kneel, and only gave Bao Nian a military salute, Bao Nian's face was a little angry, and he knew at a glance that he had just been angry, in fact, Li Yi also understood why he was angry, he was not angry because of the frequent movement of the French army.

Bao Nian hid a new army, and all the expenses of the new army were funded by Lei Gong of the Lei Gang, and now that Lei Gong is dead, the Lei Gang has also been disbanded, and Bao Nian has no source of funds and is not angry, so it's strange. However, Bao Nian can't worry for long, he has already informed Roy to continue to let Ghost Peak fund Bao Nian, and I believe that his good mood will come soon.

"Now the atmosphere between the Qing and the French is tense, and the imperial court has issued a document to form a new army, but you also know that it takes a lot of money to form a new army. I think you are not only a foreigner but also loyal to the country, why don't you go to the new army to take office? Although Bao Nian was asking Li Yi, his tone had already been decided.

"Of course, you are a national hero, and you are also recommended by General Feng, if you are not satisfied, you can say it, I will replace it for you." Bao Nian frowned slightly and said.

Li Yi also saw Bao Nian's slightly frowning brows, and knew that he was a little dissatisfied with himself, so he hurriedly said: "I am willing to go!" ”

"The imperial court requires the new army to learn from foreigners, you just happened to be lacking, according to your qualifications, you are at most an assistant commander, but you came by chance, I can make an exception and promote you to the capital!" Bao Nian was very satisfied with Li Yi's attitude, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But I can only allocate 50,000 military expenses to you now, and you have to figure out the rest yourself." ”

Li Yi was ecstatic in his heart, he really wanted to sleep and came to the pillow, and secretly said in his heart that he was willing even if you didn't give me a penny. Li Yi pondered quietly on the surface, and said after a while: "General, I don't know the weapons of the 10,000 people of the new army?" ”

"Don't worry about weapons, I will give you 10,000 firearms." Bao Nian replied.

The corners of Li Yi's mouth twitched, and he secretly said that Nyima's firecracker, now the old army is no longer needed, you let me use the new army.

"You also know that military spending is tight, and the cost of advanced guns and artillery is huge, and I don't have the ability to solve it for you now, or you can find a way to get a batch of new Mauser rifles, and you can pay the money first, and then I will ask the army yamen to give you an IOU." Bao Nian said with a straight face.

"It's better not to trouble the general, let's think of a way." Li Yi knew in his heart that this IOU could not be beaten, so it was better to refuse it happily.

Bao Nian nodded with a smile, and said with an appreciative expression: "You are young and promising, I am optimistic about you." But you must do a good job of the new army for me, and then the military aircraft department will send someone to make an unannounced visit, if something goes wrong, I will" Bao Nian sneered a few times.

"Humble duty understands!" Li Yi hurriedly said.

"That's good, you will go to the northern suburbs camp tomorrow to report, the northern suburbs camp is still a co-ordination system, you temporarily serve as the co-commander, and when the recruits are trained, I will promote you, but I can give you the personnel and allow you to recruit freely." Bao Nian drew a big pie against Li Yi again.

Li Yi secretly scolded in his heart that in the end, he was still an assistant commander, although he was promoted to three levels, Li Yi was still very dissatisfied, your mother, don't you know that Lao Tzu is not afraid of spending money. "I don't know the number of free recruits," Li Yi said hesitantly.

"You will form a new army according to 10,000 people, that is, I will arrange soldiers for you, if it is really not enough, you can recruit a group of people from the society, of course, you have the ability to recruit more people, I will not object, look at this situation, it is inevitable that there will be a war between the Qing and the law, and the imperial court is also more tolerant of the army, especially in our two Guangzhou, Yunnan, and Guizhou regions." After Bao Nian finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea, Li Yi knew in his heart that this was going to be a send-off, and Li Yi said goodbye to Bao Nian and left the general's mansion.

The establishment of 10,000 people is not the scale of a cooperative, this is the scale of a town, and if you mix some water, even if it increases to 20,000 people, no one will care, as long as you don't ask for more military salaries, the current army is not enough to have a lot of personnel, so that officers at all levels are also greedy for some military salaries, and there are really no people who take the initiative to increase soldiers, even if Li Yi does this, no one will say about him, even if he says it, he estimates that he will treat him as a fool and post money himself.

To be honest, Li Yi really didn't pay attention to the 50,000 yuan of military spending promised by Bao Nian, even if he had such a little money to support the personnel of an association, let alone to form an army of 10,000 people, this Bao Nian was clearly perfunctory, and he was promoted to three levels on the surface, so that the old general Feng Zicai could see it. If you can't stay, you can find a relationship and transfer away, then you still have this co-leader, and you won't lose your official rank, and you don't plan to let yourself stay in the company for a long time.

Li Yi thought that the conditions given to him by Bao Nian were really too lenient, he formed a new army by himself, and the personnel could be recruited by himself, except for the lack of money, the other conditions were too beneficial to himself, and it was estimated that Bao Nian would not think about it, not only would he not leave, but he would stay and develop well.

"In front of you is the army yamen." Duan Haitao pointed to a somewhat dilapidated building in front of him and said.

"Remember not to miss our identity in the future, you are my scholar since childhood, and you have studied abroad with me for three years in the German ** school, and I just returned to China some time ago." Li Yi told Li Zhong again.

The army yamen is at the end of a street in the eastern suburbs, which is relatively remote and close to the sea. The dark red gate and pink and white walls are also mottled and moldy in many places, but there are four big brand new gold characters "Army Yamen" hanging on the door beams

The guard looked at Li Yi and the tall strong man carrying the suitcase behind him and walked to the door and said, "Army Yamen, idlers are not allowed to enter!" ”

"Brother, I came to report from the army yamen." Li Yi took out the cigarettes he brought with him, and each gave a box of them.

The guard hurriedly loaded the cigarettes when he saw that they were foreign brands, and said, "Brother, do you still want to shave your head in Liuyang?" ”

"It's flat, it's not bald, right?" Li Yi touched his short hair and said with a smile.

"Huh! Anyway, thank you, brother, the cigarettes are good. The guard smiled respectfully and said, "You will be an adult soon, I hope you can help us a little in the future, enter the door and turn left to check in." ”
