When the New Year of the 19th year of Guangxu passed, the northern trade army was in Tianjin Weili, which was a prosperous and lively time.

It is different from the solemn and leisurely silence at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Yanjing City. Tianjin's market atmosphere and liveliness are far surpassing.

The streets are full of steaming fritter pots, and the aroma of Tianjin Wei's famous one-foot-long fritters fills everywhere. The guys at the bun shop shouted at the door with their voices open. The car carrying the wine ran over the street in a daze.

In addition to the ordinary people on the street, there are also officers wearing five-cloud coats and training military uniforms, and the officers with Huaidi accents are going around and around, opening their mouths wide to watch the excitement. Tianjin Wei is a well-known gangster who eats miscellaneous land, with big braids coiled on his shoulders, and magnolia flowers planted in bottles at every section, swaggering sideways on the street.

There are far more foreigners here than in the capital. A well-dressed English gentleman sits in a carriage and swaggers through the city. Their Chinese coachmen all wore foreigner top hats and tuxedos. How weird and weird it is. Americans in hunting costumes, carrying a camera with a tripod. Wherever it is propped up, the common people will be avoided.

"The machine objects of foreigners' souls, take a picture and lose their souls once!"

There are also merchants in kimonos, squinting their little eyes as they walk through the streets. In the eyes of the people of Tianjin, these goods such as raw silk, electrical materials, and foreign lamps are not as good as Western goods. There is no share of them in the downtown area.

The children also clapped their hands behind and teased: "Short Dongyang, Luo Huan legs." Spinning top, whip it, spin it around......"

What is even more surprising than the capital is that there are many Chinese dressed in foreign clothes. Most of them are Chinese compradors employed by Jinmen Foreign Company. The braid was tucked into the top hat without being cut. Everywhere they went, the people looked at them like monkeys. At this time, the senior white-collar workers working in these multinational companies were far less beautiful than those of later generations.

A group of carriages and horses entered the west gate outside the guard, and this team of carriages and horses attracted the attention of many people. The team of people and horses are all fierce and light men, and many of them still have knife wounds and gunshot wounds on their faces, which are not inferior from their eyes. The carriage they were guarding was surrounded by a green tweed official car, but the entrance of the carriage was not painted with official titles.

Inside the car, from time to time, a girl's head poked out, looking at everything around her with sparkling eyes.

This girl, beautiful and beautiful with a wild spirit, is the daughter of the horse thief leader, Miss Du Juan.

That's right, this is Xu Yifan's team when he took office. And the cuckoo, just with her in a car.

The matter of training the Praetorian Guards turned into a farce of thunder and rain. The characters who were enthusiastic at the beginning are now faceless. Only Xu Yifan, a mad stunned platform, was left to top the cylinder.

Just after the New Year's Festival, Xu Yifan asked Xun to go south, and his face was still normal. Guangxu summoned him again. This time, he didn't say much, and he kowtowed and retreated. Since he is a deputy commissioner, he must play the attaché. Where is there still half a flag person who is willing to follow Xu Yifan to the troubled waters of Tianjin Wei!

He asked the guards of the training department to report a name, and the military department approved a name. Who cares how he put together this team. As a result, Xu Daotai's guards were all former horse thieves in Qilin Village. Even Jiang Junshi hurriedly donated a garrison official title and became a military general of the imperial court. With this guard. As for the other members of the master's secretary's office, Tan Sitong recommended several scholars, all of whom were included in Xu Yifan's scene. He originally wanted to find a few people from his friends to join the guard, but it turned out that those dart masters were all unable to leave their homeland, and only a few executioners were willing to eat this salary.

The start-up fee issued by Beijing is enough for these people to chew for a month at most. After that, Xu Yifan had to discuss with Li Hongzhang, the minister of Beiyang and the governor of Zhili. The military aircraft bosses may not be thinking about this training office trying to run a yamen, and they will close the office one day earlier and worry about it one day earlier.

It's all messed with Lafayette, is this thing okay?

The more than 100 men in Qilin Village who have lived for more than 10,000 miles are headed by Jiang Junshi. all silently accepted the changes to the subordinates of Lord Xu. As for Xu Yifan pulling Du Juan and him in a carriage, everyone didn't say anything. Qilin Ye has planted enough heels this time, and it is already great to have such a way out. Lord Xu has become the new aunt of Qilin Village, even if the two families are one family. If Xu Yifan had any orders, they listened, but they all watched with their eyes open one by one, when will they bring the Qilin Lord over?

Looking at Du Juan's excited appearance, Xu Yifan just smiled. Chen Luoshi stayed in Yanjing, waiting to see off his relatives. The cuckoo followed, which can be regarded as a mortgage to collect the more than 100 men in Qilin Village.

There was a little girl with me, and it was a lot easier along the way.

Du Juan put down the curtain: "Why do Tianjin people talk much harder than Yanjing people?" ”

Xu Yifan said with a smile: "There are not so many Anhui people who have changed the Tianjin dialect to the current taste?" ”

"Huai Jun?" The cuckoo reacted quickly, and when he was a horse thief, he inevitably dealt with the officials and soldiers. The white-haired veteran Song Qing led the Yi Army inside and outside Changzhenkou and Rehe, and there were many Huai Army officers in them. Speaking of which, he is also an acquaintance with Qilin Village.

The little girl's face sank for a moment, probably remembering the tragic situation of that night in Qilin Village again. She looked at Xu Yifan: "We heard here that we are going to train the army, are we training to fight the Huai army?" ”

Xu Yifan just smiled and shook his head, his mind didn't know a single word with this big word. The beautiful girl with stubborn breasts can't explain clearly. She should still be a mortgage for her as a hundred and ten men in Qilin Village. The usefulness of Qilin Village is not sent here in Beiyang.

Listening to the more and more lively around, Xu Yifan stepped on the car board. The official car stopped suddenly, and it was the executioner of the meeting friend, the four tigers who followed Xu Yifan to Tianjin. He strangled his chew neatly. The four sturdy mules stopped suddenly.

Before Xu Yifan lifted the curtain, Zhang Yu's face poked in: "My lord, what's the matter?" ”

Han Lao shopkeeper wrote a letter, and Zhang Yu suddenly changed from a person in Da Shengkui to a real Xu Yifan's manager. Running before and after running, it is extremely powerful.

Xu Yifan waved his hand: "The head is posted in front of the Governor Yamen, we don't stay, we directly visit that Li Zhongtang!" ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, to be exact, should be in the Baoding Daimyo's Mansion. With the trade of five mouths. The Governor of Zhili inevitably has the title of Minister of Beiyang Commerce. After a lot of foreign affairs, plus it is necessary to take care of the affairs of the Korean vassals. The Governor of Zhili was stationed in Tianjin. Until the winter trade off-season, he stepped back to the real governor's yamen of the Baoding Daimyo's Mansion.

Until now, the Earl of the Qing Dynasty, the last important minister of Xiantong Zhongxing. The world's first governor. Admiral Zhili Provincial Military Rations, Management of River Affairs, Governor's Affairs, Concurrently Leader of the Minister of Beiyang Commerce, and Co-organizer of University Scholar Li Hongzhang Li Zhongtang. It is also based in Tianjin, so that the yamen in Baoding has become a decoration.

Beiyang has become synonymous with a kind of power. It has the largest number of modern armies and the most mining machinery bureaus in the Qing Empire. A modern fleet of considerable scale has the Beiyang Armed Forces Academy for training army officers and the Tianjin Naval Academy for training naval officers. The forces covered the three provinces of Zhilu and Henan, all over the Guanwai, and there were six battalions of Qingjun garrisoned in the vassal state of Korea. This Beiyang also performs some of the country's diplomatic functions. The considerable income of the Tianjin Customs is also controlled by Beiyang himself.

There are many talents, and the scene is broad. At one time, it was the center and hope of China's self-improvement and Westernization movement. It is a small window for the Qing political axe to face the world and slowly carry out its own changes. Coupled with Li Hongzhang's personal sitting, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the power of the world. The First Sino-Japanese War can be regarded as a war between the Beiyang forces alone and the Ben!

The name Beiyang, in the history where Xu Yifan came, has influenced the entire country for 50 years. And now, it is the living behemoth in front of Xu Yifan's eyes.

When he changed into his Taoist outfit, he held his notebook and stood at the door of the governor's office. looked at Li Hongzhang, who had a bulging chest and belly, when he supervised the soldiers and took his films and reported them inward one after another. I feel the majesty of this place even more.

In front of the wall, he was the only one standing there with a notebook. At the entrance of the Governor's Palace, except for the tiger head card and the halberd. It is the brigade of the brigade that stands straight and the pro-soldiers, all carrying foreign guns and guarding the guard without squinting. He came to say, not in the future. The surroundings were quiet and solemn, and there was really a bit of the majesty of the First Governor's Yamen!

The sound of the transmission spread farther and farther, and then slowly came back: "Raise the cannon, Li Zhongtang and the second door will welcome you!" ”
