Chapter 218: Loyalty
"Loyalty!" Ren Chao smiled and said, "What I want is their loyalty, and it is absolute loyalty to me, not to the Qing Dynasty, but to me, do you understand?" "Now there are only a few guards of Zhao Bin and Ren Chao, these people are all system warriors, and they are absolutely loyal to Ren Chao, if there are outsiders present, Ren Chao will naturally not say such words with obvious rebellious thoughts.
"Humble duty understands! In accordance with the commander's previous instructions, we have always strengthened the ideological education of the recruits, and now we have achieved certain results, although we cannot guarantee their 100% loyalty to the commander, but the vast majority of them are loyal to the commander! Moreover, so far, the main officers are still served by us system soldiers, so even if a few people are not loyal to the commander, they will not be able to stir up any waves. Zhao Bin hurriedly said.
"Good!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, but for some trustworthy people, you still have to rest assured that you should be boldly promoted, so that you can further win people's hearts, do you understand?" β
"Humble duty understands!" Zhao Bin responded respectfully.
"Yes!" Ren Chao nodded slightly, looked into the distance, sighed and said, "I've been very busy recently, and I've transferred two battalions, so I won't go to the other two battalions." So be it! You give me an account, when will these recruits go to war? β
"Well~!" Zhao Bin frowned and thought for a while and said, "It will probably take at least a month, but even if they can go to the battlefield after a month, the combat effectiveness of these recruits is very doubtful, after all, they have not been tested on the battlefield, and they can't train an elite soldier just by relying on the training on the training ground." β
"I know this, a month? It seems to be a bit long, but it doesn't matter, the little devils shouldn't surrender so easily, and there will be a chance for them to go to the battlefield to hone their skills when they go back. But so. Don't relax, you still have to hurry up in training. Ren Chao nodded and said.
"Please rest assured, the humble position will definitely create an elite division for the commander, and it is an elite division that is only loyal to the commander." Zhao Bin patted his chest and reassured.
"Yes! I'm quite relieved that you're doing things. Okay, the delay of a few days is not short, I'll go back first, do you want to go back to your general army yamen with me, or stay here first? Ren Chao said casually.
"There are still some military affairs to deal with here, so I won't accompany the marshal back. Humble and handsome! Zhao Bin said respectfully.
Ren Chao waved his hand and walked directly to the outside of the camp with a few personal guards. After returning to the Yamen of the General Army, Ren Chao called Niu Kaixuan over, at this time Niu Kaixuan had changed his outfit, with two box cannons hanging on his body, if he was not wearing a military uniform, he would have the appearance of a mountain carving.
"I said, why was I blind in the first place, and I chose such a gangster as you as my guard commander?" Ren Chao couldn't help but complain when he looked at Niu Kaixuan's current appearance.
"Hey, hey! My old cow was born like this, and I can't help it? Niu Kaixuan said with a smile and an innocent face.
"Alright. Come on! Let's get down to business! Ren Chao waved his hand helplessly and said, "Did the North Korean side reply?" How so? β
"Reply!" Niu Kaixuan said with a smile, "The North Korean royal family has long been looking forward to driving out all the little devils, so naturally there is no opinion." As for Nie Shicheng? He himself seems to want to send troops to recover Pyongyang, but he never agrees, and it seems that there is something unspeakable. β
"The unspeakable hidden bullshit, isn't it that Li Hongzhang, the old guy, who won't let him send troops?" Ren Chao couldn't help but scold. "Li Hongzhang, this old guy is old and confused, he is bent on making peace with the little devil, and he doesn't dare to make another incident at this time? But what if he Nie Shicheng doesn't agree? In North Korea, he did not have a single soldier. He didn't count. β
"But because Nie Shicheng never agreed, this made the Korean royal family also waver, they should have guessed this relationship, they didn't dare to offend the Qing court." Niu Kaixuan sighed helplessly and said.
"Shit! Dayuanjun is afraid of him Li Hongzhang! At the beginning, Li Hongzhang put him under house arrest for several years, can this old thing not be afraid of Li Hongzhang? Sue sΓΉ Zhou Tai, let him go and ask Dayuanjun, are you afraid of offending Li Hongzhang, aren't you afraid of offending me Ren Chao? Troops must be sent to regain Pyongyang immediately, and I don't limit how long they can regain Pyongyang, but this battle must be fought, and the sooner the better! Ren Chao said angrily. I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, how long has Lao Tzu just left North Korea, these Goryeo sticks dare to be disobedient, it seems that they were too polite to them before.
There are less than 10,000 Tiger Army left in North Korea, and the Tiger Army alone is far from enough to regain such an arduous task as Pyongyang. What's more, Ren Chao would not joke with his brother's life. The main force attacking Pyongyang this time is the North Korean army, and in order to train the North Korean army, Ren Chao has invested a lot, and now it is time to collect the reward. Ren Chao is not a bodhisattva who saves suffering, why did he spend so much effort to train the North Korean army? Aren't they used as cannon fodder at critical moments? Anyway, no matter how many people die in North Korea, Ren Chao will not feel distressed.
"Yes! I'm going to send a telegram to Zhou Tai, and ask him to knock on the old immortal of the courtyard! Niu Kaixuan said with a smile.
"Don't hope that this old thing will die, Lao Tzu will still be useful to him in the future!" Ren Chao said casually.
"Yes, yes!" Niu Kaixuan smiled, turned around and strode out.
As soon as Niu Kaixuan went out, an officer of the Tiger Ben Army hurriedly ran in, "Marshal Qiqi, the court is in a hurry!" β
"Oh! Take it! Ren Chao raised his eyebrows and said casually.
The officer hurriedly handed over the telegram, and finally made a special explanation, "It's an edict." β
Ren Chao didn't care who sent the telegram, he took it and read it casually, and then threw it on the table. The telegram naturally said that he should send the Jiaolong Fleet to join the Beiyang Naval Division to send troops to Japan.
Ren Chao knew that Li Hongzhang would not send his Beiyang Naval Division to Japan, even if Emperor Guangxu issued an order, as long as Li Hongzhang was unwilling, no one could force him Li Hongzhang. As early as when he was in Beijing, Ren Chao once mentioned to Li Hongzhang that the Beiyang Naval Division and the Jiaolong Fleet would jointly send troops to Japan, encircle and annihilate the Japanese Combined Fleet, blockade Japanese ports, and force Japan to surrender. However, Li Hongzhang categorically rejected Ren Chao's suggestion, and the Beiyang Naval Division suffered heavy losses in the First Battle of the Yellow Sea, and Li Hongzhang was already afraid, for fear that his lifeline would be damaged again, so he did not dare to have a decisive battle with the Japanese Combined Fleet. At this time, Li Hongzhang is bent on calling off the war and negotiating peace, and he will not agree to it. (To be continued......)
