Chapter 10

"Buckle the belt straight!"

"Don't be crooked on the back strap!"

"Leggings re-......"

Such shouts echoed in the cabins and corridors, and even checked each other to make sure that the military hats were not worn crookedly, and everyone even looked a little nervous - according to Lord Tang, they were "the majesty of the Celestial Empire", and they must not fall into the majesty of the kingdom and the majesty of the heavenly officials.

On the way to North Korea, he was holding the door and cabin to learn the "new army grooming model", how to wear military hats, how to wear military uniforms, how to pass the leggings, and how to buckle the strap in the shape of "Ya".

Now when it was time to get off the ship, he seemed a little nervous, for fear that he would fall into the prestige of the kingdom, and then be reprimanded by the commander, who reprimanded him for a small matter, and a big matter if he missed the future in the future.

"Braids should be in the collar!"

They......

Almost when Tang Haoran's entourage appeared at the bow of the ship, Hidematsu Tsunoda and the others were not dumbfounded looking at the officers and soldiers wearing Western-style military uniforms.

When did the Qing army wear Western military uniforms?

If I remember correctly, because the ministers kept the etiquette system, the Qing Navy would rather wear inconvenient uniforms than Western military uniforms, as for the army's uniforms, they are not as good as the navy, but now Tang Ziran's guards are dressed in Western clothes and don't seem to have braids.

Not to mention that Tsunoda Xiusong was shocked, even Liu Buyun and others were also shocked.

"This Tang Ziran is really ......"

"It's so bold!"

Wu Yingke, who was on the side of the board, muttered on his lips, looking at the guards wearing Western-style military uniforms, he was a little jealous in his heart, as a naval officer, he didn't know how inconvenient it was for the navy to fight on the ship. Moreover, when worn on the body, the heroism of the soldiers is not shown, and the chest is firm, and the uniforms are loose and loose on the body, and there is no trace of the heroism of the soldiers.

"Be bold, if we were Lord Ding, and we were as bold as him, we might have put on a new military uniform a long time ago!"

Xu Zhenpeng, who was on the side, complained softly, and whenever he wore a navy uniform to meet with naval officers of other countries, he always felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart - ninety percent of the taste was because of the braid and military uniform.

"But I don't know what trouble he will cause, can those people in the court let him go?"

"Hey...... This Tang Ziran! ”

Ding Ruchang shook his head and sighed, fortunately, from the telescope, he could see that those people's braids were tied in the collar, otherwise, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

Over the years, no one has mentioned changing into a new military uniform, or the Beiyang Navy has also been mentioned every year, but the DPRK and China have guarded what ancestral etiquette, and even talk about folk customs, in a word, it is impossible to change into a Western military uniform, but now this Tang Ziran has made a start, and I don't know......

"My lord, let's take a look first, if the court doesn't say anything, we'll hand over a fold when we turn around!"

Liu Buyun, who studied in the UK, knew that the uniform was not suitable for the navy, and looked at Tang Ziran at the beginning, and while he was bold, his heart was also moved.

"Well, let's wait for him to pass this level!"

If it had been left a few years ago, perhaps Ding Ruchang, who was the admiral of the navy, would have been furious with Liu Buyun's words, but after serving in the Beiyang Naval Division for so many years, he was already familiar with the navy, and he didn't know that the uniform was not suitable for the navy, but how could the imperial court allow the navy to wear Western-style military uniforms, after all, the DPRK and the central government had their own clothing system sitting there.

It is Tang Haoran's whole thing today, although it is in North Korea, but the news will still spread to the country, and it may cause any uproar in the DPRK.

"Obediently, is this a soldier of our Great Qing Kingdom?"

The officers on the warships of the two countries were amazed, and Feng Zisen, Xiong Tingguang, Zhu Guanguan, Yi Baojing, and everyone on the dock who greeted the new minister in this port all looked at the officers and men dressed as foreigners who got off the ship in surprise.

"No, it looks a bit like a foreign soldier!"

When talking about foreign soldiers, Feng Zisen looked at the Japanese warships in the harbor, and the Oriental soldiers on the ships were not also dressed in Western clothes.

"Although he looks like a foreigner, he looks really more powerful than the defense army!"

"But no, look at the "click" ...... this way"

In the surprise and words of the crowd, the officers and soldiers began to disembark, but it is a pity that there is no military band in this team, although so, when these officers and soldiers dressed in Western clothes get off the ship and assemble on the dock, the cheering sound accompanied by the sound of "da, da" boots only shocked the people who greeted them, and all of them were slightly shocked in their hearts.

In the crowd, there were also some Japanese in suits who came from the Japanese concession, looking at the Qing soldiers in new military uniforms, and the faces of several of them looked extremely ugly.

"Is this really a soldier who has only been training for less than two months?"

Ryuichi Yamaguchi muttered to himself in his heart, he is the leader of the guard squadron of the legation in Korea, and the reason why he came to Seoul is to assess the combat strength of the new minister's guard, after all, according to the Sino-Korean treaty signed five years ago, neither country is allowed to garrison Korea, as for Yuan Shikai, he only brought a battalion of guards when he made the mission, and the legation only kept a squadron of guards.

Now that Yuan Shikai is gone, there is also a battalion of Huai troops who left, and Yamaguchi naturally wants to know about the guards in the hands of the future minister in Korea at the first time, and he was startled by these people as soon as possible.

Not because of the new military uniforms on their bodies, and the British magazine rifles, but because these soldiers looked extremely strong, not to mention, together with the military discipline they displayed, they were also completely different from the Qing army in the past, which was generally disheveled, and this guard did not need to be reprimanded by the commander at all from disembarkation to formation, it was all natural.

This is by no means a newly trained unit!

Ryuichi Yamaguchi arbitrarily decided in his heart that this army was the real "elite" of the Huai Army, but there were bursts of reports on the dock.

The officers and men with stern expressions in the sound of the number of announcements quickly lined up, and the brass cleats on the soles of their boots and the backs of the horseshoe "tapped" sounded, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the officers and men even deliberately increased their pace.

"A row of assembles to complete the ......"

"Second Row Collection ......"

In half an hour, nearly 1,300 officers and men of the guard completely got off the wharf and lined up on the wharf to wait for the march.

Although this was the first time they had put on the new uniforms, they still realized the difference between the new uniforms and the old uniforms, and the new uniforms showed the heroism of the soldiers, as if witnessing some kind of history, and some North Koreans on the dock, when looking at this thousand-strong army, even involuntarily showed a little fear.

As for the Chinese in the port, after a moment of surprise, they quickly accepted this majestic official army, and in the past at Incheon Port, they did not rarely see the upright spirit of Western soldiers and Oriental soldiers wearing Western-style military uniforms, and the soft clothes of the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were not as upright and spirited as any of them.

This will see, these officers and soldiers wearing Western-style military uniforms and only looking a hundred times more energetic, although they are not adaptable, they still can't help but cheer for these officers and soldiers, which is a kind of pride from the bottom of my bones.

"This dress is really good, if it is a whole ......"

Looking at the officers and soldiers wearing foreign military uniforms who looked full of energy, Sun Yiren thought like this in his heart, and just when he had some longing in his heart, he listened to someone next to him.

"Your Excellency is here!"

Looking up again, it was not that, on the side of the ship, an adult in an official robe was slowly walking out of the cabin, and at the moment when he was about to step on the gangplank, the young adult who did not speak was stunned, as if he was hesitating about something.

"This is North Korea!"

At the moment when he was about to get off the boat, looking at Incheon, which was not large in scale but was only equivalent to a small town, Tang Haoran's heart suddenly became full of emotion, just standing on the side of the gangway, looking around Incheon, although his vision was blocked by the mountains, but in his heart he couldn't calm down for a while.

Is this North Korea?

Yes, this is North Korea, North Korea in 1890, and now North Korea is not yet an independent country, at least nominally it is still a vassal state of China, and he, the Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs stationed in North Korea, is about to set foot in this country, set foot on these 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains, and become the "Emperor Taishang" of this country.

What will North Korea look like in the future?

Will it be built as a general base for the overthrow of the Manchus, as it has been in history, or, as in history, be "independent" five years later at the request of the Japanese, and will it be a stranger to China?

At the moment when he was about to set foot on this land, Tang Haoran couldn't help but hesitate, full of ambition will face reality after today, but what kind of future awaits him?

When Tang Haoran was hesitant to set foot on Korean soil, in the crowd at the dock, Maktun, a foreign missionary, took this picture with his camera, and at the moment when he pressed the pneumatic shutter, in the inverted patch of the camera, Makdun saw the Qingguo lord turn his head and say something to the officer next to him.

"Alright, we're finally here!"

Turning his head to Shang Dequan, who was standing on the side of the board and saluting, Tang Haoran's expression was extremely strict.

"What's the matter, do you want to live with Tang for three thousand miles!"
