William had heard of Pastor Julian, but he had little to do with the church.

Wilhelm was actually just a junior officer in the German army, and the army was unwilling to be thrown into China. In recent years, Zhang Zhidong has a cold attitude towards Germany, but he is very enthusiastic about Japan, and a large number of young people go to Japan to study. William was also not taken seriously in the new army and was arranged in Cao Wu's training camp to serve as a façade.

From the day he arrived in Cao Wu, William had never seen a student who could train formally.

Zhang Chun was the first, and the other was not a soldier, but a girl who was almost twelve years old. This kind of individual difference is so great that William has to say that China is a magical country.

As for why Zhang Chun is so familiar with the German drill code, Zhang Chun's explanation is that his brother-in-law Wu Sicheng once served as a pipe in the new army and gave them a set of drill codes.

Unexpectedly, William had met Wu Sicheng, but at that time he did not look up to the Chinese official with a literati atmosphere. Although Wilhelm was not successful in Germany, he had the pride that was characteristic of the Germans.

What if Zhang Chun is powerful, the army of the Qing Empire has decayed, and it is not something that a local garrison like Zhang Chun can support. Unlike Huang Heyuan, William thought that Zhang Chun was a good soldier from the beginning of Zhang Chun's twenty laps, but unfortunately there were too few such soldiers.

Huang Heyuan was in Zhang Chun twice a day in the morning and evening, and after seven consecutive days, he had to pull out the soldiers stationed in the barracks to train with Zhang Chun.

Huang Heyuan was able to insist on being in the training camp in such a harsh environment, and did not let his soldiers go out to fool around, and there was always some persistence in his heart.

No matter how embarrassing it is, Zhang Chun is only a fifteen-year-old and less than sixteen-year-old boy after all, not to mention a twelve-year-old girl. This kind of gap is not acceptable to a slightly bloody soldier. After all, these soldiers in the training camp are the best soldiers who jumped out of the army.

The training camp is still dilapidated, but the training of more than thirty soldiers has finally made it a little popular.

Zhang Chun won't stay here for long, because he just came here to receive the most basic learning and become an officer of a local garrison.

This made Huang Heyuan very uncomfortable, the blood in his heart was provoked, and in the end he had to be lonely, this feeling of not being up or down made Huang Heyuan go crazy. So he decided to let the soldiers eradicate all the weeds in the training ground, and a group of men fought against the weeds shirtless in the cold wind, which was no longer training, but a kind of unwillingness.

Zhang Chun and Lizhi did not join them, and his life training was very regular and would not be disturbed. Every morning and evening, he would run twenty laps with Liz, and then go to the classroom to listen to William lecture on logistics and warfare.

But Zhang Chun could feel the manic mood of these most ordinary soldiers on the training ground, they were just ordinary soldiers guarding the training ground, not cadets, and they didn't even have the opportunity to become officers. They weren't even qualified to listen to Instructor William's lessons. If they go to the battlefield, they are cannon fodder at the forefront. They need recognition, they need to make their blood flow a little bit.

But who can deny that they are the soul of China? When the country is in peril, it is these people who shed blood and sacrificed.

"Instructor William, today's teaching is on the training ground, a soldier's future is not in the classroom, but on the training ground and on the battlefield."

This is Zhang Chun's proposal.

From the tenth day onwards, no matter what was outside, whether it was strong winds, freezing rain, or even a light snowfall, William would give Zhang Chun a lecture on the training ground.

All the soldiers knew why. Many of them did not know how to read, and it was difficult for them to understand William's very non-standard Chinese, nor could they understand what Campaign Studies and Logistics were talking about. But they know that this opportunity is not something they can get, and they are trying to absorb what they can understand.

Compared with William's orthodoxy, Zhang Chun's lectures may be more appealing, because Zhang Chun talks about topography and maps. That is, to teach these soldiers how to read maps. Teach these soldiers what terrain is suitable for ambushes, what terrain is suitable for blocking, what types of troops are conducive to what terrain, and if they encounter this kind of troop disposition in this kind of terrain, if they do not respond in time, they will be sent to death.

The soldiers understood because they were in such an environment. This is life-saving knowledge. Although Zhang Chun is a student, the student is also many levels higher than them, because the student is a team officer when he comes out, and even directly the head of Qianhe.

Li Junle's case has finally been clarified, but it is very absurd. He lived in Cao Wu with his privately adopted concubine, the night of the incident. He actually ran out loudly to show off his official authority and drink to stop the disturbance. As a result, I don't know if it was the group that gave a shot. It was too late for the guards to come up and protect.

If you're an ordinary person, or even if you're just a local official, that's understandable. But you're an officer, you're a soldier. This is a standard example of not dying without dying.

After Li Junle's death, the trouble continued, that concubine was not an ordinary person, it is said that she leaned on another officer and snatched all of Li Junle's property in Cao Wu. Li Junle's wife and brother naturally did not do it, and used various connections to fight a lawsuit. In the end, Liu Guan, who had never appeared in Hankou, mediated, and the concubine made a lot of money.

Li Junle's matter is over, and it is naturally the turn of the chief officer of the Cao Wu training camp to arrange, because Huang Heyuan is also the president of Qian, and since Zhang Chun came, Huang Heyuan has been training with soldiers is not bad. William also recommended it, so Huang Heyuan became the head of the training camp, although he was still a thousand presidents.

And that was already a month later.

Another reason why Liu Guandao appointed Huang Heyuan was because of Li Wengui and Xin Baojiu.

Originally, the two lines of civil and military officials did not have much connection with each other. There is also no mutual trust in each other. But Xin Baojiu is good at drilling camps, and he has been promoted to the county magistrate, and he is only waiting for Li Wengui to leave after his term. In order to control his own foundation, Xin Baojiu had a lot of relationships with Liu Guandai and promised a lot of benefits, but it was just food, and if he did, he would make it.

Xin Baojiu also spent a lot of thought for his old superior, Liu Wengui, wanting Li Wengui not to really return to his hometown, and he was missing someone who could speak. Therefore, the Cao Wu training camp has become one of Li Wengui's political achievements.

Things finally changed a month later. Cao Wu's training camp has earned the title of a model training camp, and a new group of students has arrived, this time a group of young people who have studied military science mainly in Germany and Japan.

This month, under the efforts of Huang Heyuan, the training camp began to conduct live-fire training. However, the training has nothing to do with Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun's training was only a month to be exact, and it was already over. But Huang Heyuan asked Zhang Chun to stay and give cultural lessons to the students, and insisted on the arrival of new cultural instructors. You must know that the Spring Festival is approaching at this time, and even if a cultural teacher is appointed above, he can only come after the Spring Festival. Li Wengui made a special trip for this, and Zhang Chun couldn't erase this face no matter what.

Li Wengui still hides his true intentions in the, but he appreciates the changes that Zhang Chun has brought to the training camp. Li Wengui looked down on the big-headed soldiers, but he was very polite to the students, these people were all scholars in his eyes, and they were still foreign scholars.

It's just that these foreign scholars have brought Zhang Chun a lot of trouble.

The students who have stayed abroad are divided into two groups, one is Oriental and the other is Western.

Those who study in the West look down on those who study in the East, and those who study in the East are naturally not convinced.

Zhang Chun doesn't have much affection for either the East or the West. It's just that this group of people is very disgusted by the discussion of the Russo-Japanese War that took place in China and the dispute between Germany and Japan in China. It is very strange that these people, without exception, do not think that the invasion of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Coalition is a national disgrace, and many people think that it helped the status of the Han people, the foreigners came to uphold justice, and the Germans and Japanese gave the Han people great help. Many people do not think that it was the Germans and the Japanese who started it, but in fact it was a war of aggression against China.

Zhang Chun doesn't think so. He believes that between countries, this is aggression, and the Manchu and Han problems are his own family's problems.
