After this head-to-head confrontation with the French Army, the old men of the Qing Army were ashamed of themselves. I couldn't beat foreigners before, and I always said that the guy in my hand was bad. Now the guy in his hand is finally equal to the French, but the coordinated operation and individual combat are not the opponents of the French.

These problems exposed on the battlefield are not something that can be solved in peacetime training, nor can they be taught by inviting a few German army instructors back to teach. Therefore, Guan Xuqing decided to send several generals who performed outstanding in this battle to Germany for further study, with a semester of three years.

Wang Feng, the wrong name Wang Maniac. The kind of special forces traits that were shown in the final fortress attack were deeply imprinted in Guan Xuqing's mind, and he heard that he had gone to the enemy position alone to grab a gun before. Regardless of the purpose for the time being, the quality shown in the battle is worthy of recognition, where can such a talent be spared?

was sent to Germany by Guan Xuqing to study special operations, and he also became the originator of special forces in the Qing Dynasty. One of his special forces swept through the invincible opponents in Asia, but of course that's a story for later.

Feng Xianghua, the second son of the old general Feng Zicai, was also personally selected by Guan Xuqing, how could this kind of handsome talent with a strong will to fight and not be chaotic in the face of danger be only a battalion commander? Zuo Zongtang has long commented that he is a fierce general who has been rare in the Qing Dynasty for decades. But he just lacks some knowledge of military theory, fortunately, he is not very old. Sent to Germany for further study for three years, and when he comes back, he can take Zuo Zongtang's class. Guan Xuqing said, "Only soldiers who are not afraid of death deserve to live." "Regarded as a classic. So I also particularly appreciate Feng Xianghua.

The rest of the generals, such as Fang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, Cao Kun, Lu Rongting, Xu Shichang, Duan Zhigui, and other famous generals in history, are also in the recommended list of generals of various departments. At this time, they were still some enthusiastic young generals with the ideal of serving the country. Guan Xuqing couldn't help but sigh that time and power can change many things.

It's just that Guan Xuqing has always wondered, where did the notorious Yuan Shikai in history go? Why hasn't it popped up yet?

There is only one person Guan Xuqing who has been summoned separately, and that is Zhao Bingjun. Guan Xuqing, the founder of China's modern police system, has always wanted to spread an accurate and covert intelligence network at home and even abroad, and it seems that he is the only one.

"Zhao Bingjun, I removed you from the roster of going to Germany to learn the new army."

Zhao Bingjun seemed to have expected it when he heard this, and he didn't react at all. Guan Xuqing couldn't help but wonder: "Don't you want to know the reason?" ”

Zhao Bingjun still said with a calm face: "The emperor summoned the villain alone, he has a deep meaning, how dare the villain speculate." ”

Guan Xuqing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, he now somewhat understood why Yuan Shikai was suspicious of everyone all his life, but he trusted Zhao Bingjun. Looking at Zhao Bingjun's youthful appearance, Fang Huai suddenly changed his mind, maybe the person in front of him could compete with stronger opponents in the future.

"Zhao Bingjun, I have changed my mind now, you still go to Germany, but you are different from what they learned, you study hard. Three years later, I have something important to hand over to you. Zhao Bingjun still didn't ask the reason, and nodded.

In the end, Guan Xuqing still decided to send Zhao Bingjun to Germany to study scouts, and the famous "Great Qing Demon Fox" began his first step.

sent away this group of young generals of the Qing Dynasty who went to Germany to study, and these military backbones in the decades after the Qing Dynasty, the national Dong Liang and Guan Xuqing, finally fell into their hearts.

The next thing to do is to reorganize the army and the question of Vietnam's territorial ownership.

"Wang Shang, go and call Prince Gong, Li Hongzhang, Prince Alcohol, Zuo Zongtang, Peng Yulin, Zhang Zhidong, Li Zhen, and Weng Tongsu to me."

"Wow." Wang Shang withdrew and withdrew.

After a while, all these people from the Military Aircraft Department arrived. At the time of the Sino-French war, they were all busy with their own affairs. Every time I discuss things, I either lack this or lack that, and now I don't pull all of them.

"The ministers knock on the emperor." The people fell to the ground and worshipped.

"Let's all be flat." Guan Xuqing said.

"Your Majesty." The crowd stood up and stood with their hands down.

Guan Xuqing looked at everyone, waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk, Wang Shang will show you the seats." ”

After everyone was seated, Guan Xuqing continued: "Now that Vietnam has been recovered, all the ministers, what should be done with this fertile land?" ”

Li Hongzhang stood up first and said: "It should be returned to the king of Vietnam and continue to serve as a barrier to the southern gate of my Qing Dynasty." Pay tribute every year, and come to the court every year. ”

Guan Xuqing didn't answer, motioned for him to sit down, and continued to ask, "Teacher Weng, tell me." ”

Weng Tongsu hurriedly stood up and said, "Vietnam is a subtropical region, which is famous for its agriculture. The local rice can be cooked three times a year, if it can be used by my Qing Dynasty. Then the problem of food and clothing for the 40,000,000 people of the Qing Dynasty can be basically solved. ”

Guan Xuqing stared at Weng Tongsu with a smile and said, "However, my Qing Dynasty sent troops to Vietnam this time under the banner of aiding Vietnam to resist France. It seems a little unreasonable to beat the French army back, but he didn't leave. ”

Weng Tongsu hurriedly said: "The emperor is the holy king of the heavenly pilgrimage, so naturally he will not cut the thousands of miles of wasteland. However, if the King of Chao Xian takes the initiative to offer the land, if I don't accept it, I will lose the bearing of a great power in my Celestial Empire. ”

Guan Xuqing couldn't imagine that this literati who was studying hard could actually say that forcible seizure was reluctant to accept it. At the moment, he asked, "So, when will the king of Vietnam take the initiative to give up his land?" ”

Weng Tongsu replied: "This matter will be handled by Prince Alcohol, and within three days, the King of Vietnam will be able to present the land with both hands." ”

After the Sino-French war, the Vietnamese king had long since fled to Beijing. Under the protection of Prince Alcohol, Gou Yan still does not dare to show up. It wasn't until France signed a contract with the Qing Dynasty that it dared to swagger through the market recently.

"Leave it to me at this time, the minister will be able to do it properly." Prince Alcohol said.

"Well, so be it." Guan Xuqing turned to Zuo Zongtang and said, "How is the recruitment and reorganization of the army going?" ”

"Back to the emperor, now the enthusiasm of the whole country to join the army is high. There are also many generals who have graduated from Lu University, and the reorganization of the army has been very smooth. It's just ......" Zuo Zongtang wanted to speak and stopped.

"But what? Let's just say it. Guan Xuqing said impatiently.

Zuo Zongtang frowned and said, "It's just that let the Black Flag Army guard Vietnam." The ministers are really not at ease, these rebels have been living in Vietnam all year round. Now let them be stationed in Vietnam, I'm afraid it will be ......"

"I'm afraid of what? I incorporated them, and they were treated the same as my Qing Army, giving them new recruits, sending political commissars, and supervising the army. I don't believe that Liu Yongfu can come up with any tricks for me, so I will let them guard Vietnam in the future. Guan Xuqing ordered.

"But they're rebels after all. I'm afraid that Vietnam has just come out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again. The Black Flag Army is difficult to protect ......," Zuo Zongtang said worriedly. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Guan Xuqing, "There is nothing difficult to protect, I don't doubt it, I don't need to use suspicious people." So it was decided. ”

"Wow."

Guan Xuqing stared at Zuo Zongtang, who lowered his head, and swept everyone present and said, "The Black Flag Army can defend Vietnam for me, and I will provide them with good food and drink." If it is really as Zong Tang said, I can kill him at any time with a million lions. ”

Everyone heard Guan Xuqing's words, only to feel the cold wind behind them, but they were in a cold sweat. hurriedly replied: "The emperor is sage." ”
