Just when Yang Feng began to silently expand the army in Fujian, Cixi in Beijing also began the construction of a new army, and she is now more and more worried about these chaotic ministers and thieves outside, not to mention that Yang Feng's wolf ambition is obvious, even Li Hongzhang began to reorganize his main force in the name of Gongwei Jinggi. Liu Mingchuan, who withdrew from North Korea to Tianjin, with his support, directly reorganized the original Asan Army into a town according to the Western military system, after eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, with a strength of 12,000 people, and personally served as the commander, Nie Shicheng and Zhang Gaoyuan each led an association, in addition to Ye Zhichao, who reinforced the northeast, also returned to Lushun and began the same reorganization.

This is actually Li Er's devil demonstrating to her, how many years this old thing is the first time that he is so bold, he was damaged by Yang Feng, when she thinks of this, Cixi can't hate to have an impulse to frustrate Yang Feng's bones, of course, now she can only endure it, what caused this situation is still Manchurian himself is not angry, she really no longer has any hope for the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, when she thinks that Yang Feng in Langfang did not fire a shot to scatter the 5,000 troops of the Tongzhou battalion like a duck, she felt a chill in her back.

Therefore, while appeasing Li Hongzhang, giving him an official and a knight, and all the generals under him also being promoted to a knighthood, he transferred her most trusted Rong Lu and the only one among the Manchus who also saved some face for her to Beijing, and then announced that the new army of the six towns would be formed in Beijing according to the ancient standard of the six armies of the Son of Heaven, and the six towns were all Manchurian nobles, and the soldiers were recruited from the Manchurians in the northeast, and all the equipment was the latest, just like what Bofors fast guns, mortars, and Makqin machine guns were all used.

To be honest, Cixi is not short of money, although there is a drag from those garbage, and the court's use has always been very tight, but she took advantage of the Beijing incident a while ago to raid a lot of noble homes, and really made a profit, plus gritted her teeth and took out some from the inner library. The first two towns were formed.

This news can make Zhang Zhidong happy, except for the fast artillery, all those who have to be purchased from him, including the Li Enfield rapid-fire rifle, this old guy can't help but be careful, from the current situation, it is obviously very problematic, it is impossible to be unarmed in his hands, so he also announced that he responded to the call of the imperial court to form a new army in Wuhan, which is also two towns.

In this case, Liu Kunyi can't lag behind, although he doesn't have as much money as these people. But it's still very easy to play a town, and all the elites of the old Hunan army are reorganized, and Commander Wei Guangtao is also reorganized into a town.

However, just when all parties were anxiously busy expanding the army, the culprit who provoked this chaos was working on a new project at this time, he wanted to run a school, and this was unanimously supported by Xue Fucheng and others, and even Yuan Shikai thought that this was the wisest decision made by Lord Yang.

"First of all, we must build a comprehensive university, of course, with science and engineering as the mainstay. Medicine is second, literature and art are second, and this university must admit female students, and the location is located in Hangzhou. I don't need official funding for running the school, I am responsible for it, and I can also accept the participation of private capital. Yang Feng said.

No one cares about anything else, since Boss Yang pays for it himself. He has the final say on what he teaches, but this recruiting girls is a bit too appalling.

"It's better to have a women's college, because it's easy to get criticized if the co-ed classes are mixed. And I'm afraid no one dares to let their daughter go to school, especially if this is a university, then the students are not children, and it would be bad if there was an accident. Xue Fucheng kindly persuaded him.

Yang Feng thought about it, now the schools in Europe are basically male and female, only a few mixed classes, and even the vast majority of old countries such as the United Kingdom are divided into schools, and in an uneducated country like the United States, a group of feminists have bewitched a large number of co-educational schools, so there is no need to be too advanced.

"Then there will be a women's college, but on the same campus!" The man then said that no one objected to this.

As for the subjects of the university, this is very easy to do, what physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, medicine, law are indispensable, in addition to history must be paid attention to, such as the history of China's ancient civilization and the history of colonial plunder in the West, this must be carefully taught, and to invite big-name celebrities to speak, as for ideology and philosophy or something, you can stand aside, these things have no use except for making people grow grass in their hearts, it is the age of boiling blood, don't be bewitched by those fallacies, In order for all students to cultivate hatred for the Western world and their desire to expand the territory in the glory of the Tang Dynasty, they must be firm in their belief that the rise of a strong country must be built on the bones of the people of other countries.

"In addition to these, it is necessary to establish a vocational and technical college to teach practical skills such as electric welding, gas welding, machining, and even carpentry construction, and to elevate this college to the same status as other colleges.

To build a real university town in Hangzhou, to build a Chinese Oxford, Cambridge!" This creature whipped his fists and howled excitedly like a mustache, of course, his real purpose was to be Principal Yang, just think about the bald guy to know how tempting such a title is.

As for how to run this school, this is very simple for him, let Yuan Shikai be responsible for the infrastructure construction, buy a piece of land outside Hangzhou, and then hire designers from Europe, anyway, Taiwan's cement plant has been put into operation, and the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant can also produce steel bars, so that there is no need to import building materials from abroad, and the rest is nothing more than construction. Call the employees of Hong Kong JY Company and Shanghai Bofors & Co., and O'Connor is responsible for cooperating with Yuan Shikai, and the main part must be completed within a year, as for the school, this can be set up first, it just so happens that hundreds of soldiers died in the Japanese battle, plus other subordinates are almost more than a thousand, go and get all their children, rent a garden in Hangzhou, and recruit a group of teachers from abroad, so that it is basically the same.

The affairs of the university are like this, and the rest of the specific affairs do not need to be worried about Boss Yang, he has hundreds of employees in Hong Kong and Shanghai, plus the help of Yuan Shikai and his governor Yamen, he can't even handle this little thing, so he just rolls up and rolls back to the slums of England.

"In addition, it is necessary to build a military school, an army school, plus a naval school." Yang Feng said.

"The Navy doesn't need it, the Harbour Master has its own school, and most of the instructors are foreigners." Xue Fucheng said.

"The scale is too small, just one hundred and ten students are divided into several classes, which is not of much use at all, and the level of those foreign instructors is too poor, there are few decent ones, the scale must be expanded, no matter how you say it, you have to teach thousands of people at a time, you can't let our fleet always use foreigners, right?" Yang Feng waved his hand and said.

This school is very important, the size of his current fleet is always expanding, but the proportion of Chinese crew is decreasing, which is also helpless, even if you recruit those ordinary sailors, you always have to have a little experience, but at this time China has ocean-going sailing experience can be said to be rare, even if he repeatedly lowers the standard is almost impossible to recruit, it is not easy to maintain the current fleet size, and when the six new ships built by Sweden arrive, the personnel gap is bound to expand, It is absolutely impossible not to build your own naval school.

You must know that there are four destroyers and two 5,000-ton armored cruisers, and the crew number is at least 1,500 people, and now they are all foreign employees, and there is no problem in letting them bully the Japanese with them, but if they are allowed to compete with themselves for the interests of the European powers in the future, I am afraid that these people will not be able to do it.

In two years, the Americans should attack the Philippines, and at that time they will definitely have to take advantage of the fire, although the Spaniards are not very popular in Europe, but after all, they are also a white country, and they may have to face this kind of problem at that time, and there is also the Greco-Turkish War next year, as the princes of the Ottoman Empire, they have to go over to express that the European countries have one-sided support for Greece in this war, so from now on we must dilute the whites in the fleet as quickly as possible.

As for the location of this school, it is best to place it in Zhoushan, just like the Japanese set up the military academy on Jiangtian Island, find a small island outside the Dinghai Naval Port, and then circle a group of young people to it, this can be attached to the construction of Dinghai, and a series of batteries need to be built there, and it will be directly built into a real fortress when the time comes.

As for before it was built, it was better to make do with the Ship Master School, anyway, there were a lot of excellent naval officers trained here before, and now it is nothing more than to expand the scale, recruit more students and invite more teachers!

In addition, an army school must be built, including non-commissioned officers and officers to be trained, this school can be built in Fuzhou, although this place is not only the mountains and the sea, but who calls themselves too small now! Go back and grab more places and change them again!

This is not a small investment, it is estimated that they have earned in Japan this time, all have to be smashed in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, you must encourage the economy, your own territory must be self-sufficient, although Fujian is poor and bad, but you don't have Zhejiang in your hands! Turning around and unleashing the two big killers of Wenzhou and Yiwu, and killing those Europeans, of course, this is something that needs to be considered in the future. (To be continued......)
