Shi Shaohuan waited for a long time and didn't see King Han read his name, so he hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask Your Highness, how many grades are we military commanders and division commanders." ”

Li Yunzhong reassured: "All division commanders are awarded official positions of the sixth rank or above, and the military marshals are awarded the official positions of the fifth rank or above, and as for the inspection, command, and supervision of the army, they are all ranked above the fourth grade, and tomorrow they will be arranged by the military department and the general staff, but some of you will be transferred to other places to listen to the use." ”

Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang and others could only sigh secretly when they saw that the wood had been completed and the raw rice was cooked, hoping that the King of Han would keep his promise and let them go back to Sichuan a year later.

Li Yunzhong, Lin Daji, Zhang Suimou, Zuo Zongtang, Li Xiucheng and others walked on the main road of the military academy and saw that many colorful flags were erected on both sides of the road, on which slogans were written: courage, honor, responsibility, will, self-confidence, tolerance and modesty...... Seeing this, Li Yunzhong nodded, and the military school became more and more like a school in later generations.

From a distance, I saw a lot of people gathered in front of me, and it turned out that Jack led many foreigners to greet him under the office building.

Jack stepped forward and reported: "The foreign gun team and all the students have gathered in the school field, waiting for His Highness to review. ”

"Don't worry, these foreigners are all school instructors, right?" Li Yunzhong smiled and looked at the foreigners who stood straight.

Jack patted his forehead and laughed at himself: "I actually forgot, Your Highness, please allow me to introduce you, these gentlemen only arrived in Nanjing last night, this is Lieutenant Colonel John, he and I are classmates, and his grades are always the first in the class, but his personality is a little ...... Grumpy and untreated by his superiors. ”

Li Yunzhong frowned when he saw John's sloppy beard and the smell of wine, and when he heard that his professional level was very high, he smiled happily and said in English: "Welcome, Colonel John." ”

John burped, shook his head, and said, "Your Highness, you are wrong, I am a lieutenant colonel, not a colonel. ”

Jack patted his old friend on the shoulder and teased: "I believe in Your Excellency King Han, you are already a colonel, look at me, one level higher than you, Brigadier General!" Oh, God! Thirty-year-old brigadier general! ”

John looked at Jack in disbelief and exclaimed, "Brigadier General? Jack, don't be kidding! You'll only lose battles, and if you can get to brigadier general, unless those old men at the War Department go crazy en masse! ”

Jack retorted loudly, "Remember! Man, I've only been defeated three times! ”

"But you've only fought three battles since you graduated."

……

Seeing that they were arguing more and more, Li Yunzhong explained: "Don't quarrel, all the officers who serve in our Han Kingdom will be promoted to one rank, and the captain will be promoted to major, and the lieutenant colonel will be promoted to colonel...... So Mr. John, you are already a colonel, and you can get three times the salary of a British colonel! ”

John pulled out a small bottle of wine from there, poured it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "This is really exciting news, I won't have to worry about not having money to drink in the future." ”

Jack once introduced the remaining 20 or so foreign instructors to Li Yunzhong, and all of them were officers who graduated from regular military academies, Li Yunzhong was overjoyed, and looked at Jack with praise instead of looking back.

"Your Highness, I heard that you are going to attack Zhejiang Province in the south, right?" Jack plucked up the courage to ask.

"How did you know the Dao? This is a military secret, and officials below the fourth rank don't know what to do, who told you? It's just a child's play with militaristic affairs! Li Yunzhong looked at Jack sternly, and planned to punish him severely, no matter who it was.

Jack shook his hand in denial, pointed at John with the other, and shouted loudly: "It was John, the drunkard, who told me, Your Highness, don't misunderstand, I have never inquired into your military secrets." ”

John took a sip of wine and sneered: "These are military secrets to you, but the ministers of several countries have long judged from a series of military movements in Shanghai and Suzhou, and I think the Great Qing Kingdom has long known about it." ”

Before he sent troops, he heard this ominous news, and Li Yunzhong began to be a little pessimistic, doubting whether the decision to concentrate the country's troops and financial resources to attack Zhejiang was correct, these damned foreigners.

John didn't seem to see Li Yunzhong's face, and continued to strike: "When I came, I saw many ships going to Hangzhou, and I heard that the generals of the Qing State were willing to buy all the military supplies three times, and they were traded in cash. ”

Zhang Guoliang, a bastard, spent all my money, even if I capture Hangzhou, I won't get anything but an empty city, these hateful foreign devils, only for profit! Li Yunzhong clenched his fists tightly, as if he was choosing someone to devour.

John said: "Your Royal Highness, I advise you to cancel this military operation, there is no need to fight with the Qing State at all, with a reckless military force like Hangzhou, it will collapse in less than two years." ”

Li Yunzhong sneered, as if he had changed as a person, and his domineering spirit doubled, "Our Han army crisscrossed several provinces, and fought hundreds of battles in large and small battles, which time did the Qing army not be defeated, Changsha, Wuchang, Nanjing...... No city has been held out for a day under the offensive of our army, and I don't believe that the small city of Hangzhou will not be able to take down the tens of thousands of elites of our Han Dynasty! ”

Jack said excitedly: "Please allow me to lead all the cadets of the military academy to participate in the battle, so that they can learn the necessary knowledge in the field." ”

Li Yunzhong remembered that the Whampoa Military Academy did the same in his previous life, and immediately nodded: "Okay!" It's a good way to let the cadets serve as grassroots officers and have a good workout. ”

In an inn on the side of Nanjing Road in Shanghai, Feng Zicai once again asked the man who was eating and drinking next to him, "Will this short-haired pseudo-Han King Li Yunzhong really take this road?" ”

This man looked quite obscene, with a sharp mouth and monkey gills, swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied: "I have inquired clearly, short-haired is to take this road, but the adults give them too much settlement fee, a full 300 taels of silver per person!" I want to do it. ”

Feng Zicai looked at the assassins who were lying in ambush on both sides of the road, and had deep expectations, "If you can spend 10,000 taels of silver to take Li Yunzhong's life, it's too worth it!" ”

"I heard that Lord Zhang made a fortune in Hangzhou, and most of the squires were extorted by him with half of their net worth, which is a few million taels, no wonder he can make such a big investment."

Feng Zicai scolded in a low voice: "Close your beak, Zhang Junmen can't help himself, if Zhejiang loses, the saint blames it, we can't eat and walk around!" Hurry up and eat, let's get out of here, we won't be able to leave if we want to. ”

Nervously fiddling with the heavy camera in his hand, Joseph complained to Veriali, "Man, you shouldn't have taken this job, I heard that those generals are barbarians, and if we find out that we are secretly filming him, he will kill us!" ”

Williali helped him adjust his camera and motioned for Joseph to look to the left, "That's Jenny, the reporter of the Times, and we are the first newspaper in the Far East, and we must not lose to the Times." ”

Li Yunzhong, escorted by a team of 100 foreign guns, was about to arrive at the Shanghai Annex, and he heard that it was a small Western-style building, and while walking on Nanjing Road, Chen Yucheng carefully looked at the people standing on both sides of the road to observe whether there were any suspicious people.

"Bang" A white light flashed.

"There are assassins! Protect His Royal Highness" Chen Yucheng and Tan Shaoguang vigilantly surrounded Li Yunzhong on the left and right.

The Lancers surrounded the three of them in the middle, pointed their guns at the crowd, and waited for the Assassins.

"Kill...... Li Thief is a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone will be punished! As if this was a code, the assassins on both sides of the road tore off their disguises, drew their weapons, and put down their killings towards Li Yunzhong.

"Bang Bang"

……

Chen Yucheng calmly commanded, "The first squad and the second squad continue to shoot, and the third squad will take bayonets!" More than a dozen guards stopped firing and quickly drew their waist bayonets and loaded them on the tip of their guns.

Tan Shaoguang swept off the battlefield and quickly reported to Li Yunzhong: "There are about 30 assassins, and the weapons are all Qing army-style broadswords, with braids on their heads, they should have been sent by the Qing army. ”

Since he knew who sent it, there was no need to capture him alive, Li Yunzhong's face was slightly cold, and he ordered: "Kill or kill, don't leave a living mouth!" ”
