"Caomin studied in the West in his early years, and he knows the truth that a rich country must first strengthen the army, and I have always been very envious of those heroes who serve on the battlefield and kill the enemy for the country, but it is a pity that I have repeatedly applied for either being blocked by my father or the army suspects that I have no military education, or I am unwilling to accept me, today Caomin bravely put forward the hope that the emperor can let me join the Qing Army and become an ordinary soldier, I am satisfied," Sun Yingjie said sincerely

"Presumptuous" Sun Shixiong immediately scolded, but immediately realized what he turned to Guan Xuqing and said softly: "Your Majesty, the dog is young and ignorant, and he doesn't know how to apply what he has learned.

After Sun Yingjie heard this, although he did not refute it out loud, but his dissatisfaction was undoubtedly expressed in his face, Guan Xuqing looked at Sun Yingjie, who was young and frivolous, but had a sincere patriotic heart, and praised him in his heart

"What have you studied in the past three years in the West?" Guan Xuqing ignored Sun Shixiong and asked Sun Yingjie, who was still on his knees

"It's all useless mechanical principles and aerodynamics, these techniques I have mastered since I bought German equipment, not to mention, I have no interest in them, my father forced me to learn, and I can't comprehend the essence of them," Sun Yingjie pouted

Guan Xuqing couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to form a force in secret, the nature of which is not clear to you for the time being, but it is necessary for someone who is proficient in machinery to make a future, you want to become the eagle of my Qing Dynasty, spreading your wings and flying high in the air."

The father and son of the Sun family froze in place after hearing this, and they couldn't understand what the emperor was talking about, but Sun Yingjie had already agreed to join the army when he heard the emperor's meaning, and hurriedly replied as if he was afraid that Guan Xuqing would regret it: "Thank you Emperor Longen"

"Get up, hurry up and pack up, and tomorrow I will send someone to escort you to the capital," Guan Xuqing said happily

"Your Majesty, the dog has not received a military school education, I'm afraid it will ......," Sun Shixiong said worriedly

Before he could finish speaking, Guan Xuqing interrupted: "What does it matter? Before the Sino-French War, how many people in my army had a military academy education? Didn't you just beat the French devils away? Besides, the formation of this unit is not a day or two, go to the capital to understand the situation first, and then you can go to the Heilongjiang Military Academy to study for a while."

"Chirp" Sun Shixiong had no objections

At this time, Sun Yingjie no longer looked like a nineteen-year-old boy, like a three-year-old naughty boy clapping his hands happily, and even began to imagine what he would look like after wearing a real military uniform

"Emperor Xie, long live Emperor Xie...... Long live the emperor......" Sun Yingjie danced with his hands

Sun Shixiong, who wanted to prevent his son from joining the army again, also gave up completely at this time, although he was not at ease with his son in his heart, but seeing that he was so happy now, he also laughed

Yes, the parents of their own children are happy and satisfied, the child's road has to be walked by himself in the period of rapid social development at that time, the generation gap between the two generations began to gradually arise, this is the development of society, of course, the development of society is so high, the Qing Dynasty can quickly become strong

Although the Wright brothers' aircraft development work in Xinjiang had just begun, and there was no talk of forming the Qing Air Force, Guan Xuqing was already working on accommodating and observing talented pilots at this time

Fortunately, the plane has not yet been developed, and there is still time for this child who has just returned from abroad to receive some military education, to put it simply, that is, to brainwash this guy, those who hold military power in their hands must ensure that they are 100% loyal to themselves, only in this way will the power not be sidelined by the great ** in history, as the great ** in history has said, power comes out of the barrel of a gun

However, in the ancient city of Hanzhong Mansion in Shaanxi Province, thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, Jiang Chaozong, the commander of the 16th Division of the Northwest Group Army stationed in Hanzhong Town, is just 35 years old this year, and this day is his 35th birthday. Later, he repeatedly made military exploits in the counterattack against Russia, and was promoted to major general and division commander during the reform of the military system

But these days, he has never broken a word of sorrow on his face, and his brows are deeply locked, which makes him, who is not very burly, look a little sluggish, not at all like a young general

On his birthday today, he couldn't be happy no matter what, and sitting on the table sat as if Zhang Yuenian, who had been transferred to Shaanxi a few years ago, Li Yourong, Shaanxi's envoy, and the 28th and 39th divisions stationed in Xi'an, Tongchuan, Yuncheng, Ankang, Baoji, and other places, and officers at or above the brigade level

"Master Jiang, your young ambition and future are limitless, come on, come on, the old man will give you a drink"

Speaking is last year's transfer of Shaanxi political envoy Zhang Yuenian, this person flattery can be described as a must, before Guangxu ascended the throne, was Cixi's confidant minister, once had been honored as the governor of Yunnan, but after the fall of Cixi, Guan Xuqing began to prepare for a war with the French in Vietnam, and replaced the governor of Yunnan, but Zhang Yuenian has always thought that he is Cixi's person, the emperor's ruthless thunderous means he has seen, so he hurriedly played on the grounds of his grandmother's death, went home, Ding You and others saw the situation in the court, and through the relationship of Prince Alcohol, was able to pay to serve as Henan Yandao, and only last year was transferred to Shaanxi as a political envoy

"Alas, Yangxian County, under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhang's Hanzhong Mansion, is now suffering from a great drought that has not been encountered in a century, most of the seedlings are dead, and the whole county is almost no harvest, so you have to report the disaster to the imperial court quickly, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, I am afraid that there will be chaos," Jiang Chaozong said anxiously

"Hehe, this is the reason why I came here Now that the emperor is patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that reporting the disaster to the imperial court will disturb the emperor, sweeping his old man's Yaxing, I am waiting for a capital crime" Zhang Yuenian said calmly

At this time, Li Yourong said: "Lord Zhang is worthy of the old ministers seeking the country, and in my opinion, the most important thing now is to send troops to prevent the people from rebelling, in addition, the disaster must be covered up, and the emperor will report to the court after returning to Beijing."

"No, when will the emperor return to Beijing? DID YOU KNOW? If the emperor doesn't return for a day, will I wait for a day and won't report it? In this way, the people of this county will be finished," Jiang Chaozong jumped

At this time, the magistrate of Yangxian County stood up and said: "Lord Jiang's words are wrong, at this time, the drought will not cause a large number of people to starve to death, it is just a difficult point in life, as long as no one dies, we can delay it for a day, and when the emperor returns to Beijing, we can report to the imperial court, in this way, you and I are all a great achievement."

Seeing that the victims of the disaster had gathered willingly, they did not know how to evacuate but came here to ask Commander Jiang to transfer troops and ammunition to suppress them, and to arrest them with a cane and be imprisoned

"I kind of understand, you came today to ask me about the military power?" Jiang Chaozong understood at this time

"Haha, is the unit your commander Jiang? Presumptuous is the court's, the emperor's emperor can take back your troops with a word, am I equivalent to serving the court, who is loyal to the emperor, who will receive whom's military power? Zhang Yuenian said with a straight face

"What if I don't pay it?" Jiang Chaozong finally understood at this time, they were just using the pretext of suppressing the chaotic people to grab their military power, were they really not afraid of death? Now that the emperor has implemented benevolent government, the world is peaceful, and the army is prosperous, not to mention a few divisions in their hands, even if the British come to fight, they may not be able to defeat the millions of lions and hundreds of thousands of tons of giant ships in the Qing Dynasty

"Hehe, you are not the only division in Shaanxi," Ni Cong, the commander of Ren's 39th Division, said with a strong anger

"General Ni, don't be angry, I'll persuade Division Commander Jiang again" Zhang Yuenian came to be a good person, "Division Commander Jiang, when is it difficult for us to discuss with the court as officials, I might as well tell you frankly, now Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi and other provinces are already in our hands, as long as our master orders the northwest half of the Qing Dynasty can be passed on."

"Master Zhang, what do you want to do if it's peaceful today?" Jiang Chaozong threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground, and said angrily, although he vaguely felt that there had been some inexplicable personnel and military transfers under his jurisdiction in the past year, several of his cronies and brigade commanders had been inexplicably transferred, and even the reserve soldiers had been changed several times

"Hmph, look at our emperor, the entire southeast region is well fed, and our northwest is well dressed? There is famine everywhere, people are displaced, we are petitioning for the people, you know? Master Jiang, you have to toast and don't eat and drink" Ni Cong is also a person who has survived a hundred battles, and his temper is very hot

"This ......" Jiang Chaozong was speechless for a while
