"Hey, hey, hey......"

The construction site of the new military academy is full of busy figures, Guangxu is dressed in civilian clothes every time he comes here, and he only brings Qi Yide and Xiao Kouzi to watch from afar, watching the school building build up little by little, and watching the hope pile up little by little. And each time, the flame of hope in his heart rose higher. Because he knows that both he and the country will start here. But he didn't let anyone else know. Just a man watching from afar. No one was alarmed. Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Qin were only summoned in the Heart Cultivation Hall or the Imperial Study. This time, Guangxu decided to go in and have a look, listen to what the people here had to say, and most importantly, meet the few people he specially transferred.

The campus construction site is a busy scene, with buildings rising one after another, and thousands of craftsmen of all kinds are busy in an orderly manner. Guangxu made a bloody investment this time, not only the military academy, but also the new school required all the projects to be completed within two months, so all the millions of taels of silver that Guangxu obtained from his family were invested. In order to recruit enough workers, the wages were increased by 50%, including two meals, and they were paid every day, and there were additional rewards every three or five days. Naturally, the workers worked extremely hard.

"See the Emperor." Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Qin greeted them from afar, this was the first time the emperor had visited the construction site of the military academy in more than a month, to be honest, they didn't expect the emperor to come to this dusty place: "The emperor is quite dusty here, please move to the gatehouse." ”

"No, let's take a look when you come." Guangxu walked along, although he had seen the planning of the military academy countless times, he still asked, where is the dormitory area, where is the teaching building, where is the camp, where is the canteen, where is the shooting range, and so on. asked all of them, and asked Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Qin to tell him one by one in detail. The more Guangxu looked at it, the more excited he became, and asked, "Look at how many hours it will take, it will be completed." ”

"Back to the emperor, the main structure has been completed, and it only needs to be slightly whitewashed and equipment installed. It can be completed in 20 days at most. Zhou Qin replied.

"In this way, I decided to take the Eight Banners Disciples in ten days. In addition, have the syllabus and training subjects been decided? ”

"It has been drawn up, and it will be finally confirmed after the emperor sees it." Ouyang Zhenhua replied.

"What about the three people I gave you?"

"The three of them are all people with real talents and learning, and they are indeed rare talents who are steady and meticulous." Ouyang Zhenhua said happily: "After they came to the military academy, Weichen also had a deep conversation with them, the emperor is really as wise as a torch, if you add time, these three people will be able to stand alone in the future." ”

When is it added? Can you stand alone? Guangxu smiled, others don't know, he knows. The civil strife stirred up by the Beiyang warlords in China's modern history in later generations has nothing to do with these three people.

"Where are the three now?"

Zhou Qin raised his head and looked at the sun: "The emperor is already lunch time at this time, and the three of them should be in the cafeteria." ”

"It's time to eat so soon, so let's go to the cafeteria to see if you're cutting corners on your diet. By the way, I can tell you that in the future, don't call the emperor outside, let people hear it badly. It's called ......" Guangxu was in a good mood today, and only thought about it slightly: "Just call it the young master." En, Li Ming, Young Master Li. That's good. ”

"Yes, young master." They answered.

"You? What is it for? Line up at the back to go. Guangxu wanted to get closer to see how the dishes were going, but he hadn't reached the edge yet. A chubby chef-like man held a big spoon and pointed at Guangxu and shouted.

"Yes, yes, queue up." Guangxu replied with an apologetic smile on his face. He glanced back at Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Qin, and then walked to the back of the line. Honestly line up.

Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Qin were panicked when they saw it, when would the emperor still line up, and he was lined up with a group of migrant workers who had just finished their work on the construction site. The two of them hadn't spoken yet. The cook, who was in charge of the spoon, said to them with a smile on his face, "The two chiefs have come to check again." Rest assured, we definitely eat better than other places, and we will definitely be full. Or is it the old rule to have two copies? Before he finished speaking, two meals had already been prepared and delivered to them.

"As a commander, you should lead by example, and you should work for the upper and lower levels. Everyone thinks so. Guangxu said loudly, thinking that the people around him would make a fuss. Unexpectedly, the others looked at him with surprised eyes like monsters, and then walked away like a plague god. Got in line with the other teams. When it came to Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Qin, they were embarrassed for a while.

"Two chiefs, this guy must have come back from Liuyang, and he doesn't understand the rules. Don't be surprised. The two commanders sat beside each other and watched me teach him a lesson. After speaking, the cook pointed at Guangxu with a big spoon: "You kid, come here." ”

The emperor is in a good mood today and is a private visit to Weifu, you ask him to line up and be in a good mood, don't worry about you. Now he calls him "boy", but once Long Yan is furious, the consequences are unimaginable. Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Qin were so frightened that they almost knelt on the ground. I saw that Guangxu gave them a "go away" look, so they had to walk to the side and sit down.

Yes, an emperor was trained twice in a row. However, there is no need to queue up, there are only three people in this team, Guangxu, Qi Yide and Kou Liancai. Guangxu ranked first. When it came to Kou Liancai, he looked nervous. Seeing this situation, Guangxu had no choice but to go forward.

"You kid just came back from abroad. Remember, this is a place where the Qing Dynasty is not a foreigner. It's rare for people and officials to come here and eat this thing. You haven't eaten it when you're a human being or something. Don't take the foreigner's set to make it. The cook prepared a meal and handed it to Guangxu: "Take it, go and say goodbye to the two chiefs, these two chiefs are good people, you can say it well, people won't talk about you." ”

"Yes, yes, the master taught me. Listening to the words of the master, it seems that he is quite familiar with the rules of foreigners? Guangxu took the meal and asked.

"That's right, the old man was also a cook on the English warship, of course he knows a thing or two."

"Yes, I really don't know Taishan, I don't see it. The master's surname is noble. I was born late and wanted to hear your story back then. ”

"The old man's surname is Liu, and everyone calls me Lao Liu. Stop it. Hurry up and go to the two chiefs to say goodbye. If you want to know, come to the old man again. Remember to come. As soon as Lao Liu heard that someone wanted to know what happened to him back then, his excitement immediately showed on his face.

Lao Li sat down directly after watching Guangxu walk over, and thought to himself: This kid doesn't understand the rules too much.

"I didn't expect that a good thing would happen to a meal. You know, the old willow who trained me just now was a cook on an English warship. This man is to keep a place that will be useful in the future. Don't bother anyone. Guangxu took a bite and said, "The meal is not bad." ”

"Listen to what Lao Liu said, you often come here to eat. It's all the old rules, and that's good. Guangxu nodded: "Up and down, as a commander, you have to lead by example." This article should be written in the regulations of the military academy. ”

Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, and Feng Guozhang were eating listlessly. After graduating from the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy, Wang Shizhen returned to Shanhaiguan to teach in the artillery team. Duan Qirui had just returned from studying at the Krupp Gun Factory and was working in the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau. Feng Guozhang served in the Huai Army. Although the three of them didn't know why the imperial court suddenly summoned them to join the military academy, their positions were low, and when they received the will of the imperial court, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly packed up, and rushed to the capital to report to the military academy. After coming to the military academy, they were received by Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Qin, two military principals, and they talked about it. Hearing that the emperor wanted to build a new army, he specially transferred three people to participate in the construction of the military academy and serve as officers of the new army in the future. I was very excited. This is the new army under the command of the emperor himself, so the three of them are the emperor's personal guards. Military regulations, security regulations, training manuals, etc., as long as the emperor wants to write, the three of them are full of suffocation and racking their brains. If the emperor takes a fancy to it, the future is limitless. Who knew that it was only half a month, and I heard that the emperor only recruited children of the Eight Banners. Suddenly discouraged, I was bored with nothing. The three have already submitted their resignations together a few times. But maybe, Duan Qirui even made trouble with Ouyang Zhenhua, but was pushed back by a sentence: "The three of you are all people ordered by the emperor, if you really want to go to the emperor, I don't have the guts." The three of them could only live in peace, and the relationship between the three became closer, and they called them brothers.

The three of them came to the cafeteria to eat together. Before he thought about it, he sat down, and Ouyang Zhenhua called the three of them over.

"Hello sir." All three saluted at the same time.

"Okay, sit down." Ouyang Zhenhua nodded.

"There is no heart to serve the country, but there is no door to serve the country. It's a pity. Before he sat down, Duan Qirui was scratching. Wang Shizhen stabbed with his hand on the side and whispered, "Don't say it, there are still others." ”

"Oh, how do you think that. Zi'an, let me introduce you. Guangxu said with a smile.

Ouyang Zhenhua was annoyed in his heart at this time, the emperor was only trained twice by a cook, and the three people personally ordered by the emperor were still talking nonsense here, Long Yan was furious, what should I do. But he couldn't get angry, so he could only point to the three of them and whisper: "These three people are Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, and Feng Guozhang." Young people will inevitably act recklessly, and ask the young master to forgive their sins. ”

"It's okay, I'm still young. Zi'an, didn't you tell them? Guangxu asked.

"The young master said that this matter should be kept secret, and I didn't mention it to them." Ouyang Zhenhua replied cautiously. In his opinion, the emperor must be holding his breath in his heart today.

Guangxu looked at the three of them: "I know, you are dissatisfied because the new army only recruits the children of the Eight Banners, and if you don't want to be, you can't be the commander of this group of Eight Banners who keep claiming to be the master, right?" It's okay, I'll tell you after dinner, okay? ”
