Chapter 15 Training the Three Masters

"It's safe to talk here, right?" Guangxu looked around.

"Young Master, please rest assured. This is a small place to discuss important matters, and no one else can eavesdrop. Zhou Qin looked around.

"Sit down, everybody. Please remember that what is said today is top secret and must not be leaked. Whoever violates the capital will be decided. Guangxu looked decisive.

"Obey." Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Qin knelt down and said, until Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, and Feng Guozhang didn't react at once, Ouyang Zhenhua pulled Feng Guozhang's shirt on the side, and then reacted and quickly knelt down.

"It's all exempt from courtesy, and in the future, it is appropriate to use military etiquette in the barracks. I will issue an edict on this point after the military academy is officially established. All sit down and talk. Zi'an, you can talk to the three of them first. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ouyang Zhenhua said in a low voice: "The emperor said that he would only recruit the children of the Eight Banners, which is also a helpless move. If this is not the case, the ministers of the DPRK and China will certainly oppose it. In this way, there is even less hope. The emperor has scheduled to personally teach the children of the Eight Banners in the tenth day, and we will all go with the emperor at that time. How many people do you think the children of Eight Banners can pass the assessment? In this way, the emperor has a reason to act cheaply, and it is not easy to attract a handle. The emperor has worked hard, you have to understand. ”

"I'll blame the emperor for my mistakes, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, and Feng Guozhang knelt down together.

Guangxu smiled: "If these few words can move you all, I don't believe it." Get up. Zi'an still hasn't said anything. Indeed, as a courtier, there are some things that you still can't say. Then I said. ”

Guangxu paused: "China has been the world's first-class power since history, but since the Ming Dynasty, especially since the Qing Dynasty, all countries in the world have long left China far behind, whether economically, military, or science and technology. Why? There are many reasons for this, and everyone thinks differently. Never mind. From now on. Let's try to catch up, I, the Chinese, are not stupider than foreigners. I believe that one day we can surpass them again. ”

"Thirty years of foreign affairs seems to be prosperous. In my eyes, it's just the moon in the glasses of the water. Not even the foundation was laid. As far as the military is concerned. At present, the most elite of the country is Li Hongzhang's Huai army. It's okay to fight at home, but which country can you win if you can take it out and fight? Feng Guozhang: You are serving in the Huai Army, tell me how strong the Huai Army is now? ”

Face Sacred Pairs. Feng Guozhang was a little nervous, and opened his mouth a few times without speaking.

Guangxu smiled faintly: "What are you nervous about?" Soldiers should have the courage to 'know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains'. Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, you can also talk about it. Today's speaker is not guilty. ”

None of the three spoke. After a while, Wang Shizhen only said one sentence: "Shang Ke fights." ”

"Yes, it's still a fight. It's okay to fight, but it's hard to say if you don't fight. It's okay, then build an army that is not afraid of death. ”

"Some people say that when you enter the new army, you are the emperor's personal soldier and the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven. The future is great. But what I want to say is that because I am the emperor's own soldier, I can't lose my face. My own soldiers are not left behind in the Beijing Division, but to go to the most necessary battlefield to really fight a majestic battle. ”

"The reason why I set up a military academy is that I hope to build an army for the country that can truly defend the country. But it is not enough to have a strong army. That's why I also set up a new school, so that everyone in the world can understand the world. ”

"I want to revitalize the country, but there are too many people who are content with the status quo in the current situation. And I am the emperor, the lord of a country, but I have no real power. And now the country is like a serious illness, and it can only be allowed to recuperate, not to attack violently. Otherwise, the disease will not be cured, and the person will die first. ”

"So I came up with this method, to build a military academy and run a new school. Even if I can't make it, I will plant the seeds of hope for this country, and one day in the future, when these individuals will grow into towering trees. can hold up a new sky for this land and this country. ”

"Today's China is undergoing major changes unseen in 3,000 years, surrounded by great powers, and China has been weak for a long time. Every powerful country wants a piece of the pie in China. Even the close proximity of the book is sharpening his knife. You won't believe it, but I can hear the sound of my knife sharpening in my sleep at night. Who can I cut when I sharpen my knife? United Kingdom? Russia? No, it can only be me. ”

"Two years later, I believe that in two years, as soon as the preparations are completed, they will fire their first shot at the outside world. Therefore, I ask you to be the enemy from now on, and to be ready for everything possible. Do you understand? ”

"Your Ministers understand."

"Okay, I have a few ideas to discuss with you. Come on. Guangxu waved his hand, and Qi Yide took out a stack of papers with drawings on them, and then spread them on the table one by one.

When everyone saw it, everyone couldn't help but show puzzled expressions, which could be said to have never been seen before. Guangxu didn't pay so much attention, just explained one by one: "This is four small pillars, with barbed wire on top, requiring people to climb over from below." It's a single-plank bridge. This is a low wall, so you have to jump over it quickly. This is a large net to be erected and to be climbed with bare hands. This is ...... "Guangxu did not serve as a soldier in his previous life, which is all seen from TV." Anyway, if someone will use it in the future generations, he will bring it now. Piracy, that's what he relied on.

"Don't ask if it's useful, do as I want. In addition, this thing does not need to be installed in advance, and when the new students arrive, I mean that they will make it and install it by themselves. I thought, this way to give these training equipment a direct understanding, and you can also debug it at the same time. Let's take a look first, I can only say that I know a little about military affairs, you are all experts, if you have other opinions, you can also put them forward and discuss them together. ”

When everyone was pondering, Duan Qirui suddenly said: "The emperor is really a god. The reason why the German Army is said to be the first in Europe, I think, is because of the training method. The Germans often simulated battlefield situations to train their soldiers. When I was in Germany, I also watched the German team train, but it was far from that. Look at this barbed wire, it's safest to crawl on the battlefield. There must be many obstacles on the battlefield, and once you want to pass quickly, these can be used. And these. It's all on the battlefield to save your life. As long as you can train according to this, you will definitely be a strong army in the future. I think the emperor is the one who understands military affairs here. ”

"This ...... I'm also foolish. Guangxu smiled embarrassedly: "Anyway, that's what it means, it's up to you to do it." ”

After Guangxu and they talked for a while, when it came to the exam in ten days: "In the examination after ten days, there are only three things I want to teach. The first is perseverance, which requires me to stand in an upright position in the sun for half an hour at noon, without any movement in the process. The second is physical strength, 20 push-ups, frog jumps, and sit-ups. The third is endurance, hiking five kilometers off-road. These three items will be used as part of the test for admissions to military schools. Those who fail to pass will not be allowed to enter the school. ”

Ouyang Zhenhua asked carefully in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is it too long to stand in the sun for half an hour in a standing posture?" If it is an external recruitment, it may be difficult for ordinary people to pass. As for push-ups, frog jumps, and sit-ups, how do you do this? ”

"I was negligent." Guangxu thought for a while: "Let's halve the time for standing up, and I'll demonstrate the rest." ”

Push-ups, frog jumps, and sit-ups each came down ten, and Guangxu was already out of breath: "These three require arm strength, abdominal strength, and leg strength." No, it looks like I'm going to have to work harder. ”

Guangxu gasped for a while and said loudly: "Where are Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, and Feng Guozhang?" ”

"Yes." The three replied in unison.

"Ten days later, three people are the benchmark. It is necessary to intensify the practice here. ”

"Yes."

"By the way, why didn't you see Yun Jie, Shaochuan?"

"The two of them entered the palace early in the morning to face the saint, and now there is something wrong with the cost, and the emperor hasn't seen the two of them?" Zhou Qin replied.

"That's it." Guangxu thought about coming out for a long time, and he didn't say hello to other people before he came out, and the two of them waited in the palace and haven't come back yet. Then he asked briefly about the situation: "Then I went back first." Accompany me to the door. ”

The gate of the military academy has been built, simple and solemn. Guangxu stood in front of the door and looked at the busy campus: "Look, this is my place of hope." I hope that the Chinese dragon can start to take off from here. Guangxu pointed to the door and said: "'Promoted to become rich, please go elsewhere; Greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door' These two sentences are engraved on the door. Let people know that when you enter this gate, you will face brutal training and death on the battlefield. May all those who enter this door be truly 'dear and sincere'. That's enough. After speaking, Guangxu left without looking back. In fact, Guangxu was snickering in his heart, which he had thought about in advance. On piracy, on copycats, who can be better than brother.

When Guangxu walked away, "That's right, I haven't asked the emperor to leave Mobao yet." Zhou Qin said with pity.

And the conversation at the door has been heard by those who care.
