In the Office of the Deputy Minister, which has begun to take shape, but is far from being completed. A group of bannermen dressed in civilian clothes and with shiny braids were sitting on top of the maza, looking around curiously.

These are all genuine clan disciples, either yellow or red. Quite a few people also have the title of Bezibel. When the Qing season reached the time when the qi was about to decline, when it came to treatment, except for some princes who had red messengers in their hands, the other clans were also very bleak. For example, there are many children of the Jueluo family with the titles of General Zhenguo and General of the Auxiliary State, and there are many people who serve as horsemen and porters. Beizi Baylor, a lot of Lu rice in hand, in a blink of an eye, and then he went to be a broken household, relying on the identity of a nobleman to slander people. Speaking of which, it is also very pitiful. This time, Lafayette and the emperor were gracious and found them another job in North Korea, I don't know how many people were used as bedding to get into such an attaché dispatch status!

But when it comes to appearance, none of them have a shabby appearance, Uncle Qiren, this face is very important!

Every one of these masters sitting in front of Xu Yifan is brightly dressed, and the belt is tied with dripping gadgets, and they are generally the old four. Betel nut purse, snuff box, Hanyu head, plus a gold-encrusted ink crystal glasses case. The weather is getting hotter, and many people still have flat gold fans in their hands, shaking them so much. Behind each of them were people waiting, dressed in long green cloth clothes, and stood behind with a bow. As soon as the uncle on Mazha came to say hello, he was busy pretending to be snuff and handing paper to blow. More than 50 banner men brought a hundred and dozens of waiters!

With the two officers, Xu Yifan, who had changed into a Qincha court uniform today, silently watched their behavior with his hands behind his back, and his heart was full of joy. Don't look at them with so many subordinates, many of them still have stomachs.

The so-called belly is that these flag men have this identity to drill the camp messenger, but they have no money in their hands. went to pull the deficit, and others borrowed money to return the capital. Just come over with the uncles as a family. On the bright side, he is the master's subordinate, and he makes money secretly, and everyone shares it equally according to the shares, which could not be fairer.

If he can't get an errand in this place, many masters will be beaten by others!

Seeing that the flag men refused to speak first with their identities, Xu Yifan coughed and said with a smile: "You have worked hard from afar, and my brother has given you a ...... of fatigue."

Tang Shaoyi stood behind him, with a serious face and a funny heart. This Lord Xu, with such a polite face, is holding back and hurting people again!

Seeing that the minister was so polite, the bannermen couldn't help but appreciate their faces, and they all raised their butts and owed their bodies: "Your Excellency is polite!" We can't talk about hard work, so please send an envoy as soon as possible. The matter of the Praetorian Guard is the matter of our banner people, and if we put it on our bodies earlier, we will also make a contribution as soon as possible......"

Xu Yifan drove away dozens of Qing Army officers in Pyongyang, which is really the heart of the attaché of the Great Kuai Banner People! Even Rong Lu could only pinch his nose and say good things for Xu Yifan, ignoring Yuan Shikai being angry next to him.

“…… The officer is still loyal, does not avoid resentment, does not hesitate to open the Huai system, and places a flag guard for our Praetorian Guard. If you act in a hurry, I hope that the court will be considerate and exculpator......" He Rong Old Man dared to say half a word of nonsense. These banner men can talk to the Red Prince, and his Ronglu's position can't be protected first!

The flag attachés discussed one after another, although the officers were a little hard, but they were not necessarily without growth. If there are soldiers, there will be salary, and if there is salary, it will be deducted by my grandfather. Start with a little income, and then move slowly. Can a living person suffocate urine? It only took half a month to rush all the way. Although it was seven or eight days slower than the sparse Qingjun army coming to Pyongyang, it was already a rare loyalty and diligence for these masters.

Xu Yifan smiled: "It's easy to say that this is not for the sake of the messenger, can you please endure hardships here?" Originally, I wanted to arrange for you to go down to lead the troops, and the banner people to lead the Praetorian Guards, rightfully so! But what about ......"

As soon as it is said, these clans with a thorough path are gone.

"What is it? The surname is Xu, what do you mean by that? ”

"Do you dare to let us take the Praetorian Guard? It's against you! Our banner people, do you want you to be assigned by a Han Chinese? ”

"Liaring the master to come here, it's not good, the master demolished your bird stall!"

Xu Yifan waved his hand again and again, unspeakably polite.

"Why don't you let you lead the troops? You are all in the right position, the battalion officers and the sentinel officers have them, and the official certificates have been filled in, so why should you be slow to treat you? ”

One sentence made the clan quiet down and listened to him quietly.

“…… But everyone knows that the salary of the imperial court has not yet been paid. The DPRK officials in Pyongyang have put a lot of constraints on us. Look, we haven't entered Pyongyang yet! You are all the treasures of the dynasty and the clan, how can I bear to let you suffer this suffering? I'm tired of everyone, how can this Praetorian Guard still practice? Now I would like to invite you to bring your escorts to Pyongyang, the local government office of the DPRK, and we should accept them! Even if they don't accept it, they should supply us! My brother is Han, so it's hard to say this. You are the clan, I will give you the certificate of the guard, the minister of the Qincha, the name is right, go and urge the supply of the army! With salaries and food, let's train our troops well! What do you think? ”

His eyes flickered, and he changed his expression again: "If you think you want to go down to the camp to lead the troops, you can have a little hard time for the time being." Neither did the brothers hinder. There was no pay and no food, so everyone endured it. After entering the camp, let's talk half a word of nonsense...... When Xu someone can't kill someone? In the realm of foreign devils, Lao Tzu slaughtered thousands of Indonesian natives in one go, and the foreign devils were on the side, did Lao Tzu move a single hair? Well? ”

The last "um" was cold and fierce. Frightened, the previous few clans all shrank back, as if they only understood at this time that this guy in front of them. It is the famous two hundred and five ...... of the Qing Dynasty The tops were all red with blood. Look at the wolf-like Goshha behind him......

In this way, it is to go to Pyongyang Province, and even all over Pyongan Province. Take this Qincha's guard, and the guards to do the power and blessing? Squeeze local North Korean officials and extract supplies...... Sounds good......

But these clans, after all, are all oil-soaked monkeys. One by one, they were still confused and confused, and they were worried about this responsibility. However, when they really went down to the camp to lead the troops, most people dispelled this thought.

Xu Yifan's fierce face relaxed, and he changed his smile again. Said slowly: "If we get the supply, we can train the army." The emperor and Lafayette are both happy, besides, we are borrowing it temporarily. As soon as the court salary comes, we will pay it back! Everyone is just a messenger who is waiting for a temporary loan...... Of course, the brother also knew that this was a difficult task. There is no reason to let everyone's hard work be in vain. Brother is here to send a word, no matter how much salary or food is urged, as long as it is handed over to the Tang Lord behind the brother. Just raise 20% as your office expenses! The Office of the Deputy Minister of Justice will issue a receipt to everyone, and the responsibilities are all here in the Office of the Deputy Minister! ”

A profit of 200% can make the vast majority of people take risks, not to mention this business?

Under the temptation, the field was quiet for a while. Suddenly, countless roars rang out: "My lord, my subordinates are willing to serve my lord!" Please send an envoy to your subordinates, where will you sit and urge...... No, sit on the borrowed salary? ”

Looking at this group of passionate scenes, Xu Yifan smiled.

The next thing is to send envoys, and the two prefectures and nine counties of Ping'an Province have all sent deputy envoys to borrow money. At the same time, these bannermen also hung the official titles of each standard, battalion and team of the Praetorian Guard, and they were all official photos of the official defense standard. When the time comes, I will send a point to Lord Ronglu for the record.

It is a time to send messengers to these new subordinates and to encourage them. Tang Shaoyi seized the time and asked, "My lord, where do these lord's guards come from?" ”

Xu Yifan turned around and said in a low voice: "Go to Chu Wanli, the Qing army will train for a few days, and the bastards and ruffians in the battalion and the old and weak have all been picked out, and the little three hundred people will be assigned to them!" Take a foreign gun and make trouble with the North Koreans! ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled sullenly, held back again, and saluted respectfully: "My lord, you are really ...... Talented. ”

Xu Yifan smiled coldly: "I know." ”

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

Not all flag people are willing to be comfortable as ambassadors and make money.

Xu Yifan sat behind the desk, twisted his eyebrows, and looked at a stubborn young man with a flag man, sitting on a horse, trying his best to stand up, staring at himself.

This young man is really not an outsider. It is Xu Yifan who has a whip with him, and the fourth master of Pu Yangpu.

Xu Yifan remembered that he once swore that he had to repay the humiliation of this whip. Among the flagmen who came this time, he also noticed this kid. At that time, he smiled coldly, but he couldn't help it.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

The people around were all sending official photos to the flagmen and uncles who were scrambling to be the first, dividing the messengers, and transferring the guards, and there were laughter and cheers everywhere. Xu Yifan turned around and didn't look at them, and was about to quietly avoid this scene. But I heard this Pu Yang's voice: "My lord, I am willing to enter the camp and lead the troops!" ”

Xu Yifan's body shook and slowly turned around. The flagmen not far away also quieted down and looked at Pu Yang blankly.

Pu Yang twisted his eyebrows and looked at Xu Yifan's gaze indifferently.

The chatter of the surrounding flag people gradually floated: "Pu Laosi, you are stupid!" "Fourth master, this is not a joke!" "Fourth, what kind of plague do you have? What do you do with the arrangement of adults? ”

Pu Yang grinned: "I'm willing to endure hardships, I'm willing to lead troops, can you manage it?" ”

The surrounding flag people all sneered, and they all felt that Pu Laosi was phlegm. Xu Yifan took a breath, this Pu Yang, did he forget their grievances, or did he have an addiction to find bad luck under his hands?

Did you fulfill him?

Or, behind him, is there an arrangement of a person of insight who really wants to contain his hands and feet? Is it Ronglu, or who?

He turned his head again to see that there was only one person here in Pu Yang, and all the other flag people were making noise around Tang Shaoyi.

Even if the banner people have any insight, in the case of overall decay, they are no longer able to return to the sky!

He took a breath and beckoned to Pu Yang: "You come with me." There was still a little smile on his face. Two Goshkha followed: "Your Excellency......"

Xu Yifan smiled: "It's okay, I'll talk to Lord Pu." With that, he walked away with his hands behind his back. Pu Yang stroked his braids and followed him away nonchalantly.

This walk, it was a long time, until I could hear the neat footsteps of the former Qingjun who were taking the class. The Goshkhas followed from a distance, watching them walk away with Pu Yang and stand still.

"Do you know who I am?" Xu Yifan suddenly asked without looking back.

"I know, it's ...... I whipped the guy...... No, my lord! Pu Yang replied that he still didn't care.

Xu Yifan turned around abruptly and stared at him fiercely: "You know? Go down to the camp to train the soldiers, the military order is like a mountain, Lao Tzu has 10,000 ways to kill you, and your yellow belt can't be kept! Who made you have such an idea to train in the army? ”

Pu Yang was stunned, his body shrank slightly, and he had a hippie smile: "People die and birds face the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years." The subordinates love to lead the soldiers, and the adults can do whatever they like, they just want me to be a rabbit, and the subordinates also serve. Is there anything else you have to ask? ”

Xu Yifan looked up at the green mountains and clear waters in the distance, and was not excited or angry at all by Pu Yang's words. Gently and coldly, he said, "Kneel." ”

Pu Yang was stunned, and his face was blue for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth and knelt down with a thud.

Xu Yifan raised a foot, and the official boots kicked heavily on his face, and Pu leaned back, and his nose bleeded for a long time.

"My lord, is it enough? Can you lead troops? In the blink of an eye, Pu Yang knelt straight again, and his nose bleeds.

This kid, the gangster's unstingy energy is really not small.

"I don't have a lot of energy, when I am training, you kid had better not commit it to me. Big husband, you can't even be happy with enmity, what kind of soldiers do you bring? Tighten the skin on me, boy! ”

Xu Yifan finished lightly ordering with his back hand, turned his head and left, leaving Pu Yang kneeling there. Xu Yifan's face was cold, but he was pondering in his heart.

"This kid, what is the immortal behind it?"

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

For the officials in northern Korea, the new assistant minister, the Praetorian Guards he had trained, and their brief period of peace and quiet, were finally broken in anxiety.

One by one, they borrowed the ambassador's deputy envoy, the deputy committee member, and the committee member...... And so on and so on and so on hung on the Qing Dynasty officials, each team carried dozens of guards with foreign guns and raised eyebrows. swaggered to various official offices, looked at the roof with his nose turned to the sky, and casually arched his hand and left a list.

There is nothing else but food and pay. Everyone's appetite is not small, and a county will never be able to pass away without tens of thousands of taels of silver, tens of thousands of stones, and hundreds of people.

North Korean officials argue with their arguments. Although Korea is a vassal state, it has no obligation to supply the Praetorian Guard! The center of North Korea has never given them such instructions!

But I didn't expect that the tempers of these masters were all artillery battles, just a little bit.

Some pointed to the red and yellow belts around their waists: "Do you know who the master is?" The Belle Shell of the Great Qing Dynasty! Talking to you is to look up to you, and dare to push back like this with the master, do you want to be brittle? Come on, hang up! ”

Some people speak well: "We are borrowing, who doesn't have three disasters and six tribulations?" Let's temporarily make trouble here for the time being, the Qing Dynasty has been a Korean clan for more than 200 years, borrow something, and we will succumb to you? Let's make an IOU, and it's not that we don't pay it back! If we don't pay it back, you can still talk to the court! The master is a flag man, can he still wronged you? If you want to be an adult, think about it, come on, and protect the adult. Save the army from making trouble and scare, and protect the families of adults! Master, I'll go and see the family of the adults first......"

Some people are extraordinarily simple, and they definitely belong to the cadres among the banner people. After a list of IOUs, I saw that the North Korean officials looked embarrassed. Without saying a word of nonsense, his subordinates shot into the air, scaring most of the officials of the North Korean government away. Then send troops to seal the warehouse, seal the yamen, and take over the various power agencies. The North Korean officials have half a nonsense, and they will be put in prison first. At the same time, he also put down cruel words.

"Master is here, are you fighting? Now the lord has a soldier, and he bullied you for official business, and he is not a hero. Wait for the master to unload the envoy and return to the capital, waiting for you to come to the door! Ye lives in Xianwang Hutong, Lao Cheng's mansion! When the time comes, one-on-one, the master will let you have one hand! ”

The team composed of the bannermen and the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty swept the Korean local political axes on both sides of the Datong River like locusts. From the envoys of the superintendent to the county Cao, there is no one who does not protect them. Some reluctantly cooperated with these grandfathers to start collecting food and wages, some Feizhang went to the center of North Korea to complain, and some were quite strong. Under the oppression of Manchu imperialism, it showed nothing but high national integrity...... But in the end, within a few days, truckloads of food and military salaries, driven by local Korean people, were sent to Yamen, the assistant minister of the Praetorian Guard, on the outskirts of Pyongyang.

Some of his subordinates also advised those banner men: "Isn't it okay for us to stay all of this?" Why did you give it to that person surnamed Xu? It's only twenty percent, what about sending it to Hanako? ”

The flag men often turn around and slap them: "You know a fart!" This is a vassal state. If something happens, without his receipt, can we carry it? It's cool under the big tree! Amitabha, I hope this master can hold on a little longer, and we can also make a little more, the deficit in the capital is all counting on this time! ”

In the middle of the 19th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, on both sides of the Datong River in Korea, under the deliberate arrangement of Xu Yifan, the Korean people fell into the cruel oppression and looting of the Manchu imperialists, although they only suffered floods and droughts last year. However, the North Korean people were still forced to provide a large amount of food and materials in a short period of time, and a large number of people participated in the construction of foreign affairs under the Xu Yifan system in Pyongyang. The effect was immediate, and the extremely expensive material supply carried out by land and water suddenly began to reduce in scale. Because of the participation of local Korean residents, the speed of various construction has been greatly accelerated. New water transport wharves have appeared on the banks of the Datong River.

Sometimes, the rise of a nation is often based on the suffering of many nations.

Of course Xu Yifan knows, but I'm sorry, he knows which nationality he belongs to.

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

June 10 of the 19th year of Guangxu.

"My lord, here we are!"

Chu Wanli rushed into Xu Yifan's tent and shouted loudly. Xu Yifan was approving official business, shirtless. On a hot day, he just finished running in the morning, and he couldn't take care of his image when he was hot and tired.

Even the freshly baked captain Goshha beside him, the four Beizi of the Qing Dynasty, and Pu Yang, the commander of the capital, were so tired that he looked like a dead dog. You have to straighten up and serve him.

"What's coming?" Xu Yifan asked without raising his head.

"Yunzong, the recruits recruited by Yunzong are here!"

Xu Yifan stood up as soon as he stood up, and rushed out of the stuffy tent in a big stride, Pu Yang followed behind, holding his official uniform and chasing after him: "My lord, my lord, get dressed!" ”

Xu Yifan rushed to the riverside with the guards, looking up while putting on his clothes.

The people of the brigade have already flocked to the riverside wharf in a noisy. The officers in straight uniforms also lost their dignity as officers, and rushed to the river. The Koreans gathered in the distance, cowering and looking in the same direction.

There was a lot of buzz everywhere, and there were cheers everywhere.

The boats that can pass on the river, with white sails, seem to appear from the sky. The sails like clouds, reflected in the turquoise water, are a beautiful picture.

On the bow of the boat, it was full of surging human heads, and these simple young people with pigtails looked at this strange place ignorantly, all looking healthy and well-nourished.

On the bow of the first boat, there is also a small figure, and if you distinguish it carefully, you can also see that it is Li Yunzong. He stood straight with his legs crossed in the bow of the boat. From a distance, he seemed to see Xu Yifan's eager eyes.

Li Yunzong just stood slightly side by side, flattening his chest and giving a military salute.

Chu Wanli was already excited: "It's Yunzong, it's Yunzong!" ”

Xu Yifan grabbed his shoulder, so excited that he couldn't speak.

Lao Tzu's new army!

(To be continued)
