The courtyard of Zhu Dahu in Yanqing County is the most lively time.

One after another big dishes were constantly served, plus a group of dishes, which filled several large tables in the shed. There is nothing to eat in the countryside, and there are not as many tricks as the famous masters in the county. The elder brothers were a little reserved at first, and a few of them declared at the beginning that they were fasting cards today, but now, they have also thrown off their cheeks and munched. Even the senior sister who is absolutely fasting and practicing red lantern lighting, some people have seen her quietly stuffing a few pieces of rock sugar pig's trotters.

Ma Liuye was circling around, with two fists here and two rounds of wine there. It seems that the purpose of inviting everyone here is to improve the food. Some senior brothers are not completely stupid, although Ma Liuye laughs like a flower, and he runs around like a butterfly wearing flowers, but every time he drinks, a few apprentices who have been following behind him rush up to replace him, and it is useless for Ma Liuye to stomp his feet and scold his mother for getting angry, this wine, he Liuye just can't drink it in his mouth. This style always makes everyone feel a little hairy in their hearts. Simply eat more and drink less. Pay more attention to your mouth when you speak.

Yuan Shikai was on the table in the corner of the shed, he and Ge Qitai were very restrained, and Senior Brother Liu originally wanted to learn from them. As a result, he was stabbed by Yuan Shikai, and Liu Dazi knew that he was a signboard and had to be conscious. Simply lay down a heart, the wine is dry, and the meat is down. When the sky fell, there was a short man like Boss Xiang holding ............ When Ma Liuye came to toast, he was very bold and wanted to change the big bowl. Ma Liuye praised his arrogance very much, but the sixth master's wine was still an apprentice's generation, and after the three bowls, Senior Brother Liu was already shaking, a little drunk. Seeing the boldness of his table, Ma Liuye looked at him several times, and he didn't know what he signaled, and the apprentices who had been waiting around their table gradually decreased by more than half, and turned to the table where there was less drinking.

Yuan Shikai just sneered slightly in his heart.

I don't know how long it has been going on, but the sun has deflected from the right anyway. Ma Liuye took a break to confess and went back to the house from the courtyard. When he came out again, there were already seven or eight more strong men around him. The casual clothes on his body were also changed to short clothes. A wide red belt is tucked around the waist. In his left hand, he holds a yellow scroll diagonally.

The big guy was still drinking and having fun, and few noticed that he had changed his outfit. Until he stood still on the steps and shouted in his voice: "There is Venerable Yan's Dharma Thread!" ”

The voices in the courtyard were suddenly reduced by more than half a bit. Ma Liu snorted, unfolded the yellow scroll in the ocean, cleared his throat, and read aloud: "............ The demon star is in the world, and the old mother is born. Oriental and Western devils are called, and all kinds of hairy people are making trouble. Let's protect the Qing Dynasty! Thousands of righteous and fists, plus red lights, all pick the soldiers ............"

There was a long list, and the more I read it, the more silent the courtyard became. The news of the pick-up that everyone was waiting for came like this? Venerable Yan said innocently, in the first batch, first select the soldiers of 22 counties, 300 people into a camp, 1,000 people into the standard, and 3,000 people are the red-topped members! The white money and the black and heavy foreign guns are all ready-made. Everyone is no longer mixed in the jar and relies on fine incense to get by, when the time comes, there will be a top, a salary, and a foreign gun! said that it was the soldiers of the imperial court, and when the time came, those churches whose doors were closed tightly, didn't they say that they would be opened when they were opened? Foreign goods, foreign money, foreign clothing. Foreign devils are hateful, these things with foreign words are not bad!

Of course, there are also senior brothers who are not for this thing, and they bully the people of the sect so hard that they rush to join the incense sect. To rush is to take revenge. A few days ago, the imperial court still had Liu Kun's troops pressing, and they were not allowed to start the teaching case. Now that the big guys are also officers and soldiers, who will be able to control who at that time? The hatred of seizing land, the grievance of losing a lawsuit, and the hatred of fighting the dead with nowhere to redress their grievances, just look at it! Besides, after being a senior brother for so many years, no matter what a big family is, you have to be polite when you meet. Go in and out, hug each other. It's not a bad feeling! Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, and everyone wants to be superior, in this situation, who doesn't want to go further?

At the moment, everyone began to calculate, how many young men can be made under their hands, and how many people can be picked? was a little more sober-minded, but suddenly thought that Ma Liuye had detained everyone, and set up a big table with good wine and meat. It's coming, what does it mean to come out like this at the end?

The crowd was quiet, and immediately there was a louder buzz, and some people had already brushed to their feet. I was so anxious that I couldn't sit still here, and if I wanted to say a few words to the sixth master, I had to go back to cook immediately!

Seeing this chaos, Ma Liuye turned out behind a strong young man with horizontal eyebrows and eyes, holding a four-petal fire shotgun in his hand, the fire rope had already been burned, and he leaned towards the top of the medicine pool, and the sound of the canopy hit the sky, and the iron sand hit the branches of the big trees in the yard, rustling!

This sound, I don't know how frightened a few people fell back to their seats, even if they were not afraid, they were stunned for a moment, and stood there still.

"Don't fucking move! The Sixth Master passed on the Venerable Fati, befriending you, what kind of mess! Listen to the sixth master! ”

Ma Liu turned around and glared at him fakely: "What are you rubbing fire!" Here are all the big brothers and sisters of the various jars, and I'll see how I clean you up later! ”

Turning his head again, he had already put on a smile: "Ranks! Everyone burns a furnace of incense, what can't be discussed? Sit down for a while, and the Venerable Dharma has been passed on, so we have to have a discussion! There are twenty-two counties in Yanjing City, we don't expect Yanqing to be the first to pick on, and we can't make a shame in front of His Holiness, right? ”

At this time, who still doesn't understand that Ma Liu is holding a Hongmen banquet this time? The timid one was already trembling in the seat, and the bold one was silent for a while, coldly watching what ivory could be spit out of Ma Liu's mouth.

“………… Speaking of digging out the heart, all the brothers in the family know it. There are only three or four hundred brothers in the hands of the top one, and if you pick and choose, there are no more than a hundred left. One battalion can't reach it, only one commander. Brother, here, I can barely climb a standard or something. But what about the elder brothers? One by one, they have to be assigned to other battalions, and the credit and benefits in the future will be someone else's, and the hardships and burdens will be their own. My Ma Liu will come out again, and I won't be able to endure it in my heart! It's all from a county, can I watch everyone go down the black road? ”

Ma Liu's face was red as he spoke, and he walked up and down the steps: "............ In other counties, such as Fangshan, the big guys have already burned Senior Brother Chen's incense, and everyone is working together. How can you get together 3,000 people to come out, just enough for an association, this is the scenery of leading an army alone! Jinghai was miserable, without discussion, Senior Brother Xie's incense burner also collapsed, what a mess! When the time comes, it is estimated that not a single battalion will be formed, and the big guys will continue to nest at home, looking at the scenery of others............ Why is this all the trouble?

………… The brothers discussed it together, and the reeds were all hard. Eight passes and four townships in Yanqing County, it is not easy for so many senior brothers to get together. Let's praise me Ma Liu! When the time comes, how can we make a co-ordination in Yanqing County! As for how to divide the officers of the standard battalion in it, the big guys can discuss it, even if it is a senior sister who does not pick soldiers, she will also give you a minimum salary for the officers in the battalion! The big guy said something, yes, then let's burn incense in front of the old mother seat together, if it doesn't work, that's the saying that it won't work! ”

As his voice fell, there was silence in the courtyard. No one was silent for a while. Yuan Shikai sat there without a doubt, and he didn't care that Liu Dazi was almost shaking around him. Look into the distance leisurely. There is also a courtyard not far away, and there seems to be a reflection of glass on the big trees in the yard.

The people who served next to each table also lost their attentiveness just now. Regardless of whether there was a guy in his waist or not, he put his hand in his arms, and just looked coldly at the senior brothers and sisters on the table.

At the table next to Yuan Shikai, suddenly a man rose up angrily: "Ma Liu! You speak better than you sing! Who doesn't know your bottom line? It turned out that he followed Zhu Ye to mix around in the mule and horse market, and because he always talked big and made small money, he couldn't get ahead. Who of us used your eyelids to clip you back then! Now that you are shaking with the help of the old mother and the Venerable, everyone is open to the altar, why do you want to be a head above us? Lao Tzu won't burn a stove of incense with you today, how many soldiers to pick, each with their own ability, if you can't pick one, we don't have it in our lives! If you have any tricks, you will use them at Lao Tzu! ”

The rough man roared out, and his table also stood up, and it seemed that they were all apprentices who came with him. He has a full table, and it seems that his power is not small. It's no wonder I have to eat Ma Liu's set. Listening to his tone, it seems that the great tycoons of the rivers and lakes have transferred to the incense sect.

His men also looked like they were not stingy, and they began to scream. The people around their table tried to come and hold them down, but the first one was instantly cut off by the back, kicked on the butt and flew out. Some people took out the iron ruler from their arms, and their fists had already sealed their eyes, and they fell to the ground as soon as it was dark.

The rough man didn't care about the situation around him, he pulled his placket and strode forward: "Ma Liu, if you have any tricks, use them against Lao Tzu!" The four-petal firebird gun, hitting the body is not a piece of pockmarks, Lao Tzu has not been beaten! Let's talk closer! "He has no clothes under his leather jacket, it is open, and his body is really full of pitted scars! The people arranged by Ma Liu in the banquet slipped straight to the side, and the senior brothers on the table around them looked at it cheaply and followed suit.

"That is, why are you the co-ordinator, and we are the mud under your feet?"

"That's a nice thing to say, don't do other positions, when the time comes, you have a top and a name, from the standard to the bottom, and Mao won't leave us a wow!"

"Today is the Great Scattering of the Scroll Hall, do you know Venerable Yan? When the time comes, let's go to the Venerable Dharma and reason! ”

Ma Liu just sneered at the chaos in front of him, and watched the big man stride over with a few of his subordinates, he just smiled: "Senior Brother Chen, you come, you come!" ”

As he spoke, a few men with long dicks flashed out of the room behind him. The big guys thought it was a shotgun, and they all lowered their heads and closed their eyes, wanting to rush over in one go. In the countryside, everyone has seen a four-petal fire shotgun, and it takes three or two shots to shoot a rabbit. Just a few steps away from Ma Liu, fighting to hang some color, he can also put him down!

The last thing that rang out was not the fluffy sound of a shotgun, but a few crackling sounds. The smoke coming out of the muzzle of the gun was not black powder, it was much lighter than that. Senior Brother Chen had already opened two blood holes in his body, and he didn't want to stand still, and he wanted to move according to the wound, but he fell headlong.

"Emperor, the big gun of Kaiji Tetsusaka!"

"And the Pole Nine Mauser!"

I don't know who was scared and shouted twice, and everyone in the courtyard stayed on the spot. Ma Liu's laughing voice became sharp: "That's right! It's all poisonous warheads, and it's a big hole in a bowl when you go in! People don't want foreign money, one rod or two strips in exchange! Who still wants to talk to me Ma Liu now? ”

Inside the courtyard, there was a deathly silence. All I heard was the sound of Ma Liu's crazy laughter. A senior sister closed her eyes tightly, trembling and muttering there, listening carefully, it turned out to be a spell to avoid fire and sand. But at this time, no one will laugh at her!

Ma Liu shouted twice, but everyone seemed to be stupid, and no one said anything for a while. Ma Liu rolled his eyes, and was about to come hard. I saw a short, fat, round-faced guy stand up and say loudly, "What else to say!" Our Xiaogezhuang Senior Brother Liu's incense altar has merged with Ma Liuye's big altar! Sixth Master Ma, let's kowtow to you, drink Qixin wine, and in the future, the sixth master will not frown in the water and fire! ”

This person Ma Liu recognized that he was one of the subordinates brought by Senior Brother Liu from the outside road! Or a layman who is well-informed, has a lively heart, and knows that his eyes are black and foreign money is white!

The Humpty Dumpty man and the big man beside him set up Senior Brother Liu, whose face had changed, and they were about to come over and kowtow to Ma Liu. Ma Liu also turned his face, laughed, and descended to greet him. Looking at the scared guy surnamed Liu, it is estimated that it is really soft, but fortunately, I haven't forgotten to follow the trend! The two men with big guns next to him followed him without pulling a step, and there were people pouring out of the room behind him, all with bright knives and axes in their hands. In such a situation, no one can turn the sky upside down. The head of this surnamed Liu knocked down, and now the overall situation is decided. These guys are detained here, and the message is brought over, the senior brothers have merged the big altar here, and the others don't follow me? In the first episode of the strong man in Yanqing County, it was nothing more than spending a few days to raise delicious food, and when the time came, what kind of scene would he Ma Liu have?

Yuan Shikai and Ge Qitai came over with Liu Dazi on the left and on the right. Walked up to Ma Liu, let go of him, and both of them made a gesture of kneeling. As soon as Ma Liu's eyes flickered, Yuan Shikai had already pulled out two six-wheeled pistols from his arms, one was pointing at Ma Liu's head, and the other was aimed at the two guys holding big guns. He saw that these two dirt buns, after a ring, the single Tiehan Kaiji gun was not filled with new bullets, and there were ready-made bullets in the tubular magazine of the Nine Mauser, but this guy didn't even have a chamber!

Do you really think the big picture is decided?

Everyone was frightened by his move, Ge Qitai had already held back his strength, roared, and had already grasped the muzzle of the two big guns, one in one hand, and rolled his wrist, the strength was everywhere, the opponent could no longer hold it, and the two big guns had already reached his hands. One person seemed to want to move, but Ge Qitai turned the butt of the gun and knocked on the side of his head like an ash pole, and there was a muffled thud, and the guy fell on the spot without snorting.

"Who dares to move! Move it, and Ma Liu's head will open! ”

Yuan Shikai just looked at Ma Liu and smiled: "Sixth Master, how is it?" ”

Everyone was stunned, only Liu Dazi woke up and crawled off the ground!

"Brother............ What are you doing? Look at how many people are behind me, how many of you are there? Even if you have two guns now, you can get out of Yanqing City? If there is something to discuss, why bother? ”

Ma Liu has also run on the rivers and lakes, and he can still hold on to it at this time. I barely held back my legs from shivering, tried my best to calm down, and persuaded the short and fat man in front of him, who was not amazing. The cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at his forehead, and he knew his own affairs. If it's so hanging, you have to pee out!

Yuan Shikai grinned and didn't answer. When he entered Yanqing, he had already made arrangements, his henchmen, Ge Qitai's Shaolin brothers who could be relied on, and the one hundred and ten people had already entered Yanqing City half a day in advance, and there were all dressed up, a team of twenty or thirty people, and the brothers who came out of the Praetorian Guard each brought a team. When Ma Liu's post came over, and then I heard Ge Qitai say that Ma Liuping was a person, can you guess the mind of this kind of character? Even if he Ma Liu is not arranging a Hongmen banquet, he is ready to turn this place into a Hongmen banquet!

But the one who sings the leading role, from beginning to end, is not just him.

In the courtyard not far away, his subordinates had been observing it with binoculars. Now, it's time to see them.

The scorching sound of foreign guns sounded over Yanqing County. In the courtyard, everyone was shaking.

In the alley outside Zhu Dahu's house, the voices of people suddenly soared, and after waiting for the senior brothers, Ma Liu had already transferred most of the manpower back to the house. The chickens are all in the cage, are the big guys still drinking wind outside?

Now the sound of chaotic footsteps outside sounds, and I don't know how many people are rushing here! Ma Liu's face had turned to ashes. His subordinates were originally ordinary people, and they were born as gangsters, when had they ever seen such a big scene? Take a moment to figure out that at this time, it might as well be a fucking shop for Bo and snatch Ma Liu back, but where is this time for them to wake up from the shock!

The foreign guns were shining at the big guy, and Senior Brother Chen was still lying there with the corpses of the two bloody holes, and no one wanted to be like him!

A series of roars sounded outside: "Ma Liu detained Let's get Brother Tai!" Punch in and snatch Brother Tai out! ”

"The people in the city pass are bullying our Xiaogezhuang too much!"

"Wow in it!"

The sound of the bang immediately followed to the gate, and standing in the courtyard you could hear the sound of rushing to the door, and the occasional sound of foreign guns. There were not many men at the door, and the screams and screams of the men who fled in all directions could be heard clearly. Ma Liu only had two words in his heart, it's over. I didn't think of resisting at all.

This time it's completely over, and I paid out of my own pocket to accompany the feast in such a big yard!

rushed to the courtyard from the gate, but in the blink of an eye, a group of men rushed in one after another, and the stunned people on the table also regained their vitality, jumped up and rushed to the pile of people behind Ma Liu, kicking and beating. Those subordinates threw themselves to the ground and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. I didn't dare to squeak a word.

Yuan Shikai just held the gun at Ma Liu steadily, and the scenery outside his body was ignored as if he had not seen it. The people who rushed in rushed over one after another, some pulled Ge Qitai and asked, and Ge Qitai was also a little trance-like, and he didn't seem to have come back to his senses. Several brothers from the Praetorian Guard also came to Yuan Shikai's side: "Yuan Da............ Boss Xiang, are you okay? ”

Yuan Shikai smiled and shook his head: "It's far worse than Anzhou............ I didn't sweat a whole ............."

Those senior brothers and sisters all felt that they had won their lives at this time, and they reacted after two blows to vent their anger, in the land of right and wrong, it is better to leave early! Yanqing County, gambling curses and swearing. The countryside is not without white face! One by one, they shouted at Yuan Shikai and Ge Tai.

"Xiao Gezhuang Xiangtan is a good man!"

"Today, we have received the love of Senior Brother Ge, see you in the future! The small altar of Xiaogezhuang has become a big altar, and the future is immeasurable! ”

Before he could say a word about the New Year, Yuan Shikai had already turned his face, and the foreign gun in his other hand was also aimed at them intentionally or unintentionally, with a round face and a bright smile: "............ I haven't drunk the wine yet, so let's go? Although Ma Liuye is a bastard, there is a saying that is true, if it does not become a big altar, how can we have face in Yanqing County?

His original plan was just to take away the big altar of Yanqing County, and now Ma Liudu has done things to this point, he doesn't laugh at the achievements of the sixth master, how can he be worthy of Ma Liu?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tangshan Praetorian Guard Non-commissioned Officer Training Team was actually established as a military academy for the entire army in the future. As the representative of the original Beiyang Naval Division, a modern naval force of China, in the Janissake, the future national defense force. He also once reported to the General Staff Headquarters, requesting that a training team of non-commissioned officers of the Janissaries be established in the same way. Therefore, the formation of the sailor non-commissioned officer training team has also joined the huge construction plan of the Tangshan base, of course, this will be a slightly slower thing.

After a few months of construction, the foundation has been leveled, the foundation has been laid, the steam roller is still roaring outside during the day, and the young people in the big tent in this courtyard have already started to go to class. Most of the instructors in German Prussia were transferred from the original advisory group, and they not only had experience in building and educating the armies of modern industrial countries, but also lived and fought with this Janissary for more than a year or two, and they also knew the inside of this Praetorian Guard quite well. Rather than blindly hiring new military instructors, this brand new army is more suitable.

Many highly educated officers have also been drawn from the troops, and they have also taken classes with the trainees of the non-commissioned officer training corps as teachers for future military academies. The German Prussian soldiers will always have to go, and by that time, their own talents will have to go up!

Kong Ci once climbed thousands of miles to the height of Tangshan with Li Yun and looked at this huge piece of land that had been leveled out, and he was infinitely emotional. Compared with the most modern military educational institutions in the Qing Dynasty, such as the Beiyang Military Academy, which only occupies more than a dozen acres of land next to the Tianjin Artillery Bureau and has a large courtyard, it is unimaginably large, and all kinds of new construction machinery are being constructed day and night, and the tents where the troops, trainees, and small workers live almost cover this land with ............"............ What you Xu Dashuai arranged is a century-old foundation! ”

Of course, this century-old foundation still only exists in the minds of many people. Xu Yifan rushed here overnight, also because this is a more confidential and safer place than the Jiangning Governor's Office. Although the intelligence level of the Qing court, whether it is the level of strategic intelligence or tactical intelligence collection, he is almost certainly a scum. But whatever is it, it is better to look at the other party, he can be sure that the tentacles of the northern court will definitely not be able to reach into the depths of this Tang Mountain, and the armed force of the Praetorian Guard that he has built single-handedly!

The lights-out horn had been sounded, and it was already silent in the tent group of the non-commissioned officer training team. However, in the innermost ordinary tent, there were still two kerosene lanterns on. More than a dozen young men in military uniforms stood there straight, the jawbs of their military hats tightly cuffed their chins, and everyone had an excited look on their faces.

Because Xu Yifan stood in front of them with his hands in his hands, behind him on the left, it was Chu Wanli, and on the right was Sheng Xuanhuai, who had also changed into civilian clothes, but he didn't know these carefully selected young soldiers.

It was Xu Yifan who personally gave them the task, and this was enough.

It would be strange if Xu Yifan didn't stuff the personality cult of these cadets into the cultivation of these cadets. Unlike civilian society, the absolute belief in the commander of the army is certainly indispensable. It is better for the army to be simpler, and it is the same in any era.

He Xu Yifan single-handedly created the Praetorian Guard, he really risked his life to follow these children he raised to fight in the north and south, fighting bloodily. The prestige is already extremely high, and he can still put some education on his personality cult into the system? These selected young men of the Praetorian Guards really trembled slightly when they stood in front of him.

Xu Yifan had already glanced at them several times, walked to their side and looked at them one by one, and finally paced to the middle with his hands in his hands, turned around and stood upright, his legs apart, and ordered in a low voice: "Lizheng!" ”

With a snap, these young military elites almost subconsciously knocked their heels hard!

“………… From now on, you will have no status as a Praetorian Guard, no commander of the commander, no robes to rely on in life and death, and no care from me. You have to plunge into the most violent whirlpool, scouting, surviving, fighting, this feeling of helplessness, until you see my dragon banner fluttering in the head of Yanjing City! You guys...... Ready to get started? ”

"I am willing to die for the handsome!"

This voice burst out from these young hearts without reservation.

"Take a break............ Xu Yifan's eyes were also slightly emotional: "............ Your task is very clear, some of them follow the grand people, undertake the task of intermediary liaison and transit, keep in touch, ensure that the news of the north can reach my desk as soon as possible, and ensure that I have a clear understanding of the situation............ You've all lived there for a while, and you know how important intelligence is to my decision-making! The other part, you will obey the dispatch of the Chief of Staff of Chu, this time he voluntarily led you to the north, and I Xu Yifan's heavy weapons were all taken out! Your task is to sneak around Zhili, take advantage of the convenience of you all from the North, hide, grab a little strength as much as possible, and wait to meet the great changes that are coming! What exactly should you do, Lord Chu will give you orders when the time comes............ Got it? ”

"Understood!" The voice of the answer was still crisp and clean.

Xu Yifan smiled slightly bitterly and shook his head slowly: "............ You don't understand, and I'm most ashamed of you, that I don't have time to train you enough............ Even if I had to train, I didn't know where to start! ”

It turned out that the tactical intelligence system he initially established in North Korea was still something in the military category, and all the courses and training could be covered by one person from the Prussian General Staff, the old man of Koontz. However, this mission involves subversion, liaison, rebellion, infiltration, incitement, and so on. In his time and space, these things were all germinated in the First World War, developed in the Second World War, and gradually perfected during the Cold War. He Xu Yifan is a traveler, he can barely be regarded as a lover of military history, but he is not an expert in intelligence technology!

And this task is extremely demanding. Specifically, it is divided into two lines, and the first line belongs to the Sheng Xuanhuai system. It is nothing more than Sheng Xuanhuai as the host, using his deep connections and huge resources in the north to spread rumors, bribe, incite, and even assassination. The information he collected from the officialdom should also be sent to Jiangning in a steady stream for him to analyze and judge. The forward base for the intelligence work in charge of the Northland was set up in Lushun, and there was no problem in the liaison between Lushun and Jiangning. However, the communication between Yanjing City and Lushun requires a large number of reliable personnel to communicate in the middle! These things can be understood when you think about them.

The other front-line task is heavier, what is the internal situation of the Xiangjiao Rebellion, and how to grasp this possible huge turmoil in the palm of your hand. Not only to guide this chaos to develop in the direction that is as beneficial as possible for themselves, but also to accurately control the timing, when this chaos tends to get out of control, quickly extinguish it, no one lurks in it, and even captures a part of the power, how can it be done? In the first town of the core backbone of the Praetorian Guard, many of the family members of the soldiers are in the north, and at least half of them are in the heart of Zhili Youyan, no matter from which point of view, they must also be arranged in advance to protect their families as much as possible!

This work is even more arduous than the front line presided over by Sheng Xuanhuai. Yuan Shikai has infiltrated Zhili, although there is no news yet. For a while, the person who presided over this work was very difficult, if Sheng Xuanhuai was allowed to pick it up, Lao Sheng's power would be too great, this is not the way to use people. Second, he can't pick it up. This time he presided over the part of Sheng Xuanhuai, which can be regarded as an exception, and he still has to return to the matter of colonization and industrial development, and he can't interfere with the Praetorian Guard.

Fortunately, Chu Wanli volunteered, according to his words. The work done by the General Staff Headquarters of the Praetorian Guard is actually a long-term plan for the construction of the army, and Li Yunzong can do it alone to train the Praetorian Guards of the Six Towns for the Northern Expedition. And he is definitely stronger than he Chu Wanli. In fact, intelligence work also falls under the jurisdiction of the General Staff Headquarters, and it is appropriate for him to preside over it.

This kid volunteered, and Xu Yifan let go of half of his heart. Although Chu Wanli was lazier than him, he talked about his plan and policy the most behind his back, and his mouth was so stinky that it was sad. Some things have their own ideas. But this guy is so smart that he is almost a demon-like existence, if he Xu Yifan's IQ is one hundred and four, this kid will almost have one hundred and eighteen upwards! But this kid has a benefit, no matter what he thinks about in his head, but one thing, if he doesn't agree, he can let it go and leave it to him, and it will be better than expected. Sometimes Xu Yifan couldn't help but think jealously, in this world, there are still geniuses............ The task is so heavy, the time is so tight, and the concept of action is so new. He didn't even know how to train them to a certain extent, so he could only draw as many officers and soldiers as good as possible from the Northland. There were more than 200 people, and those standing in front of him today were only representatives of them. Under these circumstances, how could he not worry about throwing these most loyal men into the raging and chaotic Northlands? These tiger ben who have come all the way with him are henchmen, descendants, and seeds of the future, and if he sacrifices one more, he will be so distressed that his heart trembles! Is it easy for him to save up this little money?

Not a single one standing in front of him said a word.

“………… But I don't have time............ There is also no time left in this country! At the time of the Ding Revolution, everything changed so drastically, no matter how much you judged, no matter how much you prepared in advance, you couldn't catch up with the changes in the times............ At this time, I can only rely on you, on your loyalty, on your minds, on your abilities, and even on your lives! I never doubted that the tiger ben I had raised would be able to accomplish the most difficult tasks! ………… A little skeptical, a little hesitant about this task, he took a step back and turned back to his barracks. This is not weakness, because what I ask of you is almost impossible, and it may be sacrificed in vain! ”

As he spoke, there was silence in the tent, but no one had exited. In fact, Xu Yifan also knows, how can anyone quit? The eyes of each young man standing in front of him radiated a warm and sharp gaze, as if his last few words were an insult to them!

He smiled faintly, stepped forward, and personally helped them take off the dragon collar badges on their collars one by one and put them in their hands.

“………… Come back alive and take it in my hand. If you can't come back, these collar badges, after this school is built, there will be their place on the wall facing you! Someone will know, in order to tear apart this heavy darkness, Lao Tzu's Praetorian Guards did something! ”

"Let's go!"

I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't do anything wrong............ Although it is still the same enthusiastic and agitating language, Xu Yifan's heart is not as frank and unrestrained as standing at the front of the attacking team in North Korea's strong defense line against the Yue army.

However, it is an illusion to change the fate of this country without bloodshed............ Collapse sooner! This is the glorious Qing Dynasty that already exudes the smell of rotting corpses............ Dark clouds have been hanging over this nation, this civilization for more than 200 years, you don't want to affect the history of the next few decades, tolerate you for a day, it's a crime! No matter what kind of means I used in the meantime!

Xu Yifan had already left in a carriage, and the team of more than 200 people gathered silently in the dark. Chu Wanli and Sheng Xuanhuai, the two team leaders, did not mean to greet each other. Sheng Xuanhuai was avoiding suspicion, while Chu Wanli didn't know what he was thinking. After the team is assembled, they will rush to the dock and take a boat straight to Lushun. Relying on Zhang Xuzhou's southern Liaoning, it infiltrated into Zhili.

They also have their own send-offs.

Li Yunzong basically lived in the Tangshan tent during this time, except for the necessary going to Jiangning City to discuss matters or fighting with Tang Shaoyi to ask for things, he did not leave the army at all. Xu Yifan was about to speak, but he did not participate. At this time, he found Chu Wanli.

Two young people who have been studying together since Shanghai were relatively speechless at this time. In the end, it was Li Yunzong, who had always been silent and cold, who took the lead in breaking the silence.

“…… You volunteered this time and did the right thing. ”

Chu Wanli smiled and didn't speak.

“……… I think the first thing to do is to contact Yuan Shikai first, one is that this person has some ability, maybe he has already found out something, and if you arrange it, you can also prescribe the right medicine............ The second is that he is ambitious, you suppress him, don't let him take your place. ”

Li Yunzong said this kind of thing to people, which is rarer than the sun hitting the west! He gives the impression of being like a straight sword, when will he say such a struggle for power and profit, aimed at the hearts of the people?

He himself was a little unaccustomed and twisted his head in other directions.

Chu Wanli laughed: "I don't care. ”

Li Yunzong's sharp gaze turned over: "Suspicious of the handsome?" Your spirit is so clean? ”

Chu Wanli smiled and waved his hand: "............ When did I suspect Dashuai? It's just that I'm really afraid that the big marshal will take the last battle on the road............ I've done all I can, and I'm probably exhausted of my diligence......... You know my temper, now the handsome can tolerate me, and everyone can tolerate me. When the whole country returns, how many people want to step on me to get on the throne when the dragons are surging? There are some things that I really don't like by nature............ In the next few decades, I want to take my daughter-in-law and children around the world to see what the world will become and what direction we should strive for............ The usurpation of this Qing Dynasty is the beginning............ Yunzong, in the future, I will have decades to slowly think about whether what I have done in these years of turbulence and change is really worthy of admiration! ”

He stood there, still sliding three corners as usual, but his eyes were still clear.

Li Yunzong snorted: "Deserter............"

He suddenly reacted: "Daughter-in-law? ”

Chu Wanli laughed: "My hands and feet are one step faster than you!" Now that there's a door, you have to hurry! Rest assured, you will be called when you drink the wedding wine! ”

Li Yunzong laughed slightly, since following behind Xu Yifan and becoming the sharpest long sword in his hand. He had only laughed twice, once in southern Liaoning, before preparing to launch a suicidal assault on the reorganized front of the Yue Army. At that time, the smile was full of sharpness. The smile at this time is warm.

"Take care."

"So are you."

On the other end, it was Zhang Peilun who came specially to see off Sheng Xuanhuai. Both of them are old men in the Beiyang system, so they are naturally close. Zhang Peilun saw Sheng Xuanhuai, who was in a long-distance running horse coat, standing in the middle of the Praetorian Guard's tiger ben and looked a little out of place, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Xingsun, you can just change into a military uniform!"

Sheng Xuanhuai smiled bitterly and followed Zhang Peilun a little farther: "I'm not stupid, why am I wearing a military uniform?" Provoke the handsome man to have an idea in his heart? Anyway, the brothers are also chasing ducks to the shelves, and when the time comes, it will have nothing to do with these tiger skins. ”

Zhang Peilun stood still and smiled: "I originally wanted to persuade you not to be too hot-hearted, know a little bit of proportion, but now it seems that you don't need to." You've always been a human being............ The opportunity is not easy to come by, this time, Xingsun, you will stand firm, and you can take care of my Beiyang remnants a little more............"

Sheng Xuanhuai also smiled: "Youqiao, are you really planning to dress in white to the end?" ”

Zhang Peilun laughed: "Look at my beard!" It's all white, and you still don't avoid it? Since Ma Jiang, he has lived a lot in the past few decades, and he has traveled from Xu Yifan, because he has been thinking about it for so many decades, and he really can't find a way out in the Qing Dynasty. I can't be sorry for so many brothers who died in front of my eyes in Majiang! I ran away at the beginning, but this time I ...... There is no escape. Xu Dashuai said well, since the First Sino-Japanese War, the court begged for peace, and he shouted the deafening word "not falling", this luck is naturally there for him! Again, I am deeply favored by Zhongtang, how can I find a way out for Beiyang, now that you are on top, what am I still doing in love? After the envoy explained by the marshal this time, he can almost swim freely in the name of the second minister behind his back, waiting for old age to die............ This time, it's really the last battle. ”

"The last battle ............" Sheng Xuanhuai chewed on Zhang Peilun's words. In the end, it was just a long sigh of emotion: "...... I was still a little apprehensive before, did I get on the wrong boat? It is only today, looking at the glow in the eyes of these young people, that I no longer doubt it. What's going on with the general trend, what's going on with the trend, what's going on with luck! This general trend and luck are actually hidden around us, but we are still looking for it. Da Shuai, as his name suggests, is nothing more than finding the source of this luck! ”

"Heaven is good, China has a reason to do it............"

"Heaven is good, China has a reason to do it............"

The two of them unanimously said this sentence. The tacit understanding corresponded, just looking at each other and smiling.

"Take care."

"Take care."

The carriage, escorted by Goshha, galloped towards Jiangning City. In the night, the gas lamps hanging in front of the carriage flickered.

Xu Yifan leaned against the wall of the car, speechless for a long time.

All I saw in front of me was a thick color of blood.

More or less, this blood color also has his part in triggering.

But I am not wrong, I am not wrong............ ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
