Chapter 4 Double-Cornered

In the next few days, Xu Yifan didn't bother to visit Li Hongzhang. Now is not the time to argue with this uncle. He just pulled Yang Shixiang, who was the head of the official residence, and hurriedly did his own business.

The yamen of the trial training office was set up in the house left by the original maritime affairs yamen of the East Bureau. There is a ceremony to put on the gate to open the defense, but Xiao Gui Cao followed. The whole Beiyang officialdom knows the origin of this military training yamen, and there are few people celebrating, all waiting to see when this place will be turned off and closed.

The road, anyway, came out on its own.

Xu Yifan comforted himself like this.

Some of the Beiyang talents he wanted to play had come up with a list. It's pitiful to say, he now bears such a big name, and he doesn't have the power to play a single title. It was only reported to Li Hongzhang, and Li Hongzhang decided to play it.

But he also knows how much in his heart, people, Li Hongzhang will give it. What he wants is not a Beiyang minister. The more people give, the faster the possible surname of his joke here will come.

As for the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy, he was going to go there in person. There, maybe that's where his real lineage lies in the future!

As for Jiang Junshi, a group of dozens of people surrounded Du Qilin and returned to the mouth, ready to pack up the foundation. The family background of the Qilin Village that he took from Du Juan's hand, Xu Yifan said that it took a lot to dredge the door. But he gave them ten thousand taels of silver. And agreed to contact them once every three months to receive their food. As for the cuckoo, he still stayed with him.

Du Qilin really couldn't bear to let his daughter follow him and take that risk. In addition to her, there are also twenty or thirty Qilin Village people and horses, who chose to stay. If you are tired of the life of a horse thief, you may be able to use it with confidence......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next to Tianjin Wei's artillery bureau, the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy is like a pot today. In the morning, with the German foreign instructor after the morning sleep. The lectures on the class have become duck ponds as if they were. The only 200 or so students in the Qing Dynasty who had received the most complete and up-to-date military training at that time sat on the lecture hall, but their minds did not know where they had flown to.

Yang Shixiang sat precariously on it and told them the thirteen chapters of the Chinese Martial Arts Classic. It is quoting scriptures and classics to the fullest extent. I just pretended not to see the students below.

He is not only the first person in Zhili, Li Hongzhang's confidant and think tank, but also teaches Chinese martial arts lessons to the Wubei School.

He also knew in his heart that everyone's minds were not on this today. Speaking of which, it has been some years since the Martial Arts Academy was opened. At that time, the plan was to train the young Benmu in the Huai Army, and some of them joined the scholars. Give the old Huai Army officers a new blood. It's a pity that over the years, the Huai Army has long become a system of nepotism, and the generals at the head of the battalion would rather use their own personal than these students. The Martial Arts Academy has already trained two batches of students, but unfortunately they are all idle and have no place to use them. A small number continued their studies and were sent to stay abroad, and after they came back, they were also taught and practiced in what camp. It's not much use.

Most of the others changed careers, some went to the telegraph office, some went to the mines, and some went to study and take the test. You know, these students have undergone a well-established German-style officer education! For example, just the mathematics used for military surveying is to learn the level of calculus!

In this day and age, it is definitely the elite of the elite.

Now that such a news suddenly comes out, it is likely to be a way out of their ambitions, can they not be excited?

In the time and space where Xu Yifan came, the students studying in the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy were in the Gengzi Incident seven years later. spontaneously formed the student army, which was the most powerful Qing Dynasty political axe army in the entire war, except for Nie Shicheng's armed guard army. Angry, the first thing the Eight-Nation Coalition did after taking control of Tianjin Wei was to burn down the Beiyang Military Academy.

These students really need to be used, and after the First Sino-Japanese War, it is time for Yuan Shikai to start a new stove and train the new army in a small station.

These talents, Xu Yifan didn't plan to keep them for Yuan Shikai.

looked at Yang Shixiang with one eye open and one eye closed. The students at the bottom are talking louder.

"Praetorian Guard...... This is training the new army! I heard that Lord Xu gave the Zhongtang a strip to the middle hall to have twelve battalion leaders for the infantry team, three battalion leaders for the artillery team, and one battalion leader for the horse team...... How many preparations do I need to fill up? There's no one in his pocket, and if we go, we should make a fuss! ”

"I'm just afraid of it...... What about the equipment used to train the new army? What about salary? What about the place? Don't let us go, in the end it still doesn't end up! ”

"If you don't train the new army, how will you fight in the future? When the Hunan army is old, it must train the Huai army, and when the Huai army is old, it must not train the new army? I look at this matter, Zhongtang and Xu have a tacit understanding...... Well, I think there's always a way to fix it. Xu Observation is specially going out of Beijing, can there be no way? ”

"Have you read Xu's observation of the Ou Youxin video? I've been watching the lights and boiling oil for the past two days. I understand that foreigners are strong and we are weak, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big! How many small countries have died like that, it's really tragic. Poland was divided, and I heard that the people could only walk in the middle of the road, and not walk next to each other, saying that they were afraid that the inferior people would steal things...... In my opinion, if we don't train a strong army, we will have to die sooner or later! ”

"Praetorian Guard, Praetorian Guard...... I said, if we really go over and do it, will the flag man come to grab this right? ”

"Shhhh Silence! ”

On the two desks in the back, there were two young officers, both wearing Huaijun's five-cloud coats, and their big hats were placed on the desk upright. One has bright eyebrows, tall and thin. Listening to the boiling discussion around him, he couldn't help but twist his eyebrows. He looked like he was smiling but not smiling. Sometimes I listen to it with a puff, and I quickly lower my head to cover it.

Next to his table was a handsome and upright young man with a serious expression. The eyebrows are thick and black as lacquer, and the sharpness in the eyes is like a cone in the sac, as if it is reminding others at any time that the owner of these eyes is sharp.

He sat upright, his hands on his knees, according to the rules of the church. The discussion of the people around him didn't seem to reach his ears at all.

The tall and thin young man secretly touched him and whispered, "Yunzong, did you hear that?" Together, the official fan. I want to be an official. A guy who wrote a book can train a strong army and strengthen the country? I think, in our Great Qing Kingdom, such a person has not yet been born......"

His voice was lowered, and the person almost stuck to the officer named Yun Zong: "Those guys who eat hardcore crops have been riding on our heads for a day, and everything we do is a blind man lighting a lamp in vain." Let's think about reading this school, it's really ...... According to Shanghainese, it is called hot dusk! ”

Sure enough, his tone also has a bit of a southern accent.

The officer called Yun Zong didn't raise his eyebrows. He didn't move, as if he hadn't heard him.

The actions of the tall and thin young officer were not even visible to Yang Shixiang, who didn't want to take care of them. He stopped what he had not been listening to, and coughed: "Chu Wanli! Look at you like this, are you still the bearing of a military attache of the imperial court? What do the rules say, I'm not a foreign instructor, so I can't control you. But for the sake of me, I'm the first person in Zhili, the red top of the second grade, you have to respect me a little, don't you? ”

Yang Hanlin smiled and spoke, this young officer named Chu Wanli quickly sat up straight, and smiled at Yang Shixiang: "Lord Yang, the martial arts you told us, I am secretly complimenting Li Yunzong." If it is in the same year of Xian, Lord Yang is not a famous minister of Zhongxing, and he will also be an uncle? When will Lord Yang tell us about Jinshi calligraphy? ”

Looking at Chu Wanli's lazy appearance, Yang Shixiang smiled bitterly. To be honest, he had no interest in this martial arts lecture hall and part-time classes. It's Chu Wanli's suave energy, and he has a bit of an appetite for him. As for Li Yunzong, who looked like a model martial artist next to Chu Wanli, it was not pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it.

He took out the Pan Huang in his arms and twisted the gold pocket watch, and looked at the time: "I know that you don't have any thoughts today, waiting for Xu Guanguan, a member of the Praetorian Guard Trial Committee, to come to proofread, and want to make a solid future...... Don't be like this duck pond now! ”

cough, these students are hot, and when they come to Xu Yifan's hands, according to Zhongtang's thoughts, I'm afraid that it will be empty again!

The school's messenger rang the bell on the field at this time.

The sound of the tick-tock assembly horn also sounded, and the German password of the German instructor came from outside.

The students below were scratching for a while, it seemed that this Xu observation was on time!

Yang Shixiang looked at their eyes, sighed and waved his hand: "Go!" ”

There was a coaxing from below, and one by one, these student officers put their big hats neatly on their heads, put on their five cloud coats, and dusted off their riding boots. One by one, they poured out. Chu Wanli pulled Li Zongyun beside him: "Don't you want to leave?" Look at the freshness! White and white are not bad......"

Li Zongyun stood up straight and glanced at this brother who was leaning on his arms. He walked out with his head held high. Chu Wanli chased after him and laughed at him: "If you say one more word, you will die, right?" ”

The two of them were about to go out one after the other, and Yang Shixiang called Chu Wanli slowly: "...... Your surname is Chu, isn't it? I heard that he was born in Xiucai? Nanyang Academy's current policy is the first time you take the exam, others think you want to take the book to be famous, but you voted for the martial arts academy? ”

Chu Wanli still had a hippie smile: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, my Yun Zong brother is the real talent of the Nanyang Academy, won't he also come with me to be this big soldier?" ”

Yang Shixiang smiled and shook his head: "Qu Cai, Qu Cai, a national servant, has its own way...... Brother Chu, do you have any interest in coming to my scene? ”

Chu Wanli was stunned, looked at Li Yunzong with an expressionless face, and the horn sound of the assembly outside was ticking tighter. He smiled and gave a military salute with a raised hand and flat chest of Huaijun: "My lord carries love, I still want to go home and be my eldest young master...... It seems that the two brothers and us are confused about where we are going, and we have no way out...... We can't lift it up. ”

The two turned around and left, Yang Shixiang sat there dangerously, not embarrassed by the rejection of these two nobodies, just frowned and touched his beard: "The way out?" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More than 200 student officers lined up in several long columns in the camp. The German foreign officer, holding the command knife, walked to the front of the team with a bumpy goose step. A command knife: "Augenberichtigen!" ”

There was a loud bang in the procession, and everyone looked to the right. Only the flag bearer at the head of the platoon stood straight, holding the Black Flying Tiger Flag of the Martial Arts Academy.

Yang Shixiang took two or three servants in Tsing Yi and hats, and swayed to the door, ready to welcome Xu Yifan's carriage and horses. According to his identity as the first one, there is no need to be so polite to greet Xu Yifan, the alternate deputy member of the Daoist platform. But what Li Zhongtang meant was that the money was not given, and the equipment was as perfunctory as possible. Although with the intention of wanting him to fall. But on the face, you must be polite to these two poles.

Today, I went to the Beiyang Academy to review and select students, which is also in accordance with this purpose, giving enough face.

Chu Wanli, who was in the team, did not move his neck, looked at the back of Li Yunzong's head beside him, and whispered: "Let's bet, whether this Xu Observation comes by car or sedan chair." Is it fat or skinny...... Is the face blue from smoking a big cigarette, or is the scoop green from the scoop? Choose the same, five oceans, bet on annihilation and slippery bets......"

His idle mouth is also to relieve his boredom by talking to himself. I didn't expect Li Yunzong to answer this cold person. Unexpectedly, Li Yunzong replied softly and coldly: "I'm not as boring as you!" ”

The sun shone on the small field of the martial arts academy, and the students' breathing was connected. All are looking at the door. Everyone was waiting with their own thoughts.

The guard at the door suddenly saluted with a gun, and the double-barreled Mauser in his hand was raised straight. The sound of horses' hooves came, and Chu Wanli, who felt that he was tired of standing, suddenly widened his eyes!

Not only him, but even Yang Shixiang was stunned at the door. All the students took a cool breath.

I saw a handsome young man about the same age as them, riding on a great ocean horse. Walked through the door with two heavily armed guards.

He did not wear the court uniform of the platform, but wore a neat and well-fitting gray tweed military uniform, a large-brimmed military hat, and carried Sam. Brownian armed belts. The riding boots are knee-high, and the spurs are shiny. With a grim expression, he galloped into the field proudly!
