Chapter 116: Martial Arts Academy
In the Anhui Wubei School, dozens of students are running around the playground.
In the classrooms of the five subjects of infantry, horse, artillery, engineering, and baggage, hundreds of students are also carrying out their own courses.
"Manager Li, how is it, are you still satisfied..."Outside the classroom window, after smiling and glancing at the students who were in class inside, a teacher from the school smiled and said to Li Liang.
After listening attentively, Li Liang nodded with satisfaction. "Sure enough, the name is well deserved," he said, turning his head to the 10 people standing behind him. You must not live up to the expectations of the boss, you must work hard..."When he said the word "hard work", he also specially accentuated his tone.
Although he noticed the difference between these two words, he didn't care about the teaching, and just thought that Li Liang asked them to study hard in the school. After hearing Li Liang's words, the 10 people's eyes lit up and they replied with full confidence. "Yes!"
"Hmm..."Bowing slightly, Li Liang turned his head back to teaching. Then I'll entrust all 10 guys to you...", he took out a check from his pocket and gently placed it in the teacher's hand.
After glancing at the amount on the check, the teacher narrowed his eyes with joy. "Manager Li, don't worry, it won't be long before we will turn them all into real officers, and we will definitely not disappoint you and Boss Yan..."
Nodding, after saying a few words to the 10 people, Li Liang said to the teaching. "Then I'll take my leave first, and I'll leave everything to you..."
"Walk slowly..."
After sending Li Liang out of the school with a smile on his face, the face of the teacher finally became the same as usual. "Manager Li applied for Buke for you. Later, I will take you to the classroom of Buke, you must work hard, don't let Manager Li and Boss Yan down..."
Probably not so long ago. Li Liang, the manager of Yushi Group, suddenly found the general office of the Wubei Academy, hoping to send 10 transfer students to study. The reason is also very simple, after getting Chengxun's permission, the original patrol team of Yushi Group has been expanded to more than 800 people.
It's just that there are more people, but the combat effectiveness is still scum, and it is basically the same level as the militia.
You must know that this era of Ludao is not a peaceful era, even in the vicinity of cities like Wuhu, there are bandits and bandits. In the case that the government is unreliable. If you don't have a little bit of force in your hand, it's almost impossible to run a business with peace of mind, not to mention anything else, just the harassment that comes to your door every day is enough to make people collapse.
So after the expansion of the patrol team. Yan Shao also 'thought' of a way, that is, to send some people to the military academy to receive some military training in the real sense. In this way, after these people have completed their studies, they can return to the patrol team to serve as officers, or even instructors, to teach other patrol members military knowledgeโโโโโโ and the Anhui Military Training Academy in history. It was trained by the graduates of the Martial Arts Academy. And the two schools are located in the same site, but in the autumn of 05, that is, some time ago, the military training academy was suddenly suspended, which is also the reason why Yan Shaohui sent people to the martial arts academy.
In the face of Yan Shao's reasons, neither the general office nor several other supervisors and teachers had any doubts.
About two or three months ago, Chengxun bought a few 1904 6.8mm Mauser rifles from Shanghai at his own expense, some of which he kept for himself, and the other part was sent to the military academy.
After getting these rifles, it's the same as everyone else. The general office of the Armament Academy and several instructors spoke highly of this rifle, and even the patrol team that was said to be fully equipped with this rifle was also a little curious.
It was only after they sent someone to investigate. The results are somewhat...
To put it simply, there is only one line, that is, these people are 'not worthy of these good guns'...
From this line of words, it can be seen that the people of the Armed Forces Academy are disdainful of the patrol team.
And the governor's yamen's evaluation of the patrol team was 'militia', which also relieved Seongxun, who was originally a little worried.
It was precisely because of knowing these things that the general office of the Wubei Academy and several other teachers would understand the reason why Yan Shao sent someone over.
Of course, understanding is understanding, and some rules and regulations still have to be followed, after all, the registration time has passed at this time.
But...
In the face of the large amount of silver dollars handed over by Li Liang later, the general office and a few teachers felt that the rules and regulations seemed to be flexible, and the teacher in front of him was a resolute supporter of this view.
In order to send these 10 people to the Martial Arts Academy, Li Liang spent a total of more than 1,000 silver dollars, which is equivalent to more than 100 yuan per person. Although this is not a lot of money for ordinary officials, for those teachers who have no oil and water to fish, this more than 1,000 oceans is a lot of money, even if there will be at least 10 to divide it afterwards...
After arriving at the classroom of Buke, many of the students inside saw these 10 people, and they felt a little curious in their eyes.
During this period, the martial arts academy generally only recruited 90 to 300 people, in other words, there were not many people in the entire academy. This means that even if you don't know what everyone's name is, at least you will feel familiar when you see it. However, the 10 people outside the door felt exactly like strangers to the students in the classroom.
These 10 people are the candidates carefully selected by Yan Shao.
Eight of them were selected by Fu Xiuming, and after being sent to Yan Shao, after some observation, Yan Shao personally came out to solicit them. Later, it turned out that Fu Xiuming's vision was indeed good, although after learning that Yan Shao finally wanted to rebel (revolution), there were some people who seemed a little hesitant, but in the end everyone joined this organization.
Fortunately, at this time, it was already the end of the Qing Dynasty, except for some people of the older generation, such as the gentry and celebrities of the constitutionalists, who still had some hopes for the Qing court, and the younger generation was almost completely disappointed in the Qing court.
It is important to know that at that time, except for Shanghai, Guangdong and Guangxi, which were dominated by the people's army and merchant groups, almost all the remaining provinces were uprisings of the new army.
The young people Yan Shao found might have some misgivings about the word rebellion, but they didn't have a good impression of the Qing government, so after a little hesitation, they all agreed to join in.
And their first task after joining in is to infiltrate the military academy, break into the new army, and win the support of some officers as much as possible before the time comes.
Yan Shao was not worried about whether these people would betray themselves. Although he has not had a showdown with the people under him until now, almost all of these people under his hands have been following him for a year, and some have even reached the point of more than a year, plus these people have almost no good feelings towards the Qing government, and there is almost no possibility that they will betray Yan Shao.
And what can they get by betraying Yan Shao?
Power? Or money?
The former, the people selected by Yan Shao may not have the kind of anti-heaven level, but they can also be called middle-class products in all aspects, and none of them are short-sighted people, so it is natural to see what the future of the Qing government is.
As for the latter, money or something, I'm afraid no one in the whole of China can give more than Yan Shao.
However, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Yan Shao still sent two old men who came back from the United States with him in, on the one hand, to facilitate contact and pay attention to the movements of the remaining 8 people, and on the other hand, when it came to wooing those students in the school, it always cost some money...
"Transfer student...", a young man in his 20s chuckled quietly as he poked his finger on the back of the person in front of him.
The same grin, the man in front quipped. "Maybe it's a transfer student..."
In the classroom, looking at the 10 newcomers, almost everyone started to talk, after all, it was the first time that a transfer student had appeared in the martial arts academy for so many years.
On the other hand, in the face of this unique way of greeting, the 10 people were not annoyed, but showed a smile.
These 10 people came here not only to receive military training, but also to break into the new army, so they are the best choice in terms of character and courage.
Before coming, Yan Shao had already told them the purpose of letting them come, and after having the mission goal, it was naturally impossible for them to easily make enemies here and do things that might damage the mission, and it was this smile that made many people have a little good impression of them...
The instructors on the podium had already known that they were coming, because he was also one of the teachers who participated in the sharing of the fee, so after a moment of silence, he arranged seats for the 10 people. When the 10 people were seated, the instructor motioned for them to open their textbooks and resume today's lesson...
After sitting down, one of the 10 people said to his companion helplessly. "It's been so long since I've been out of the school, but I didn't expect it to be time to come back..."
"Yes, when I graduated from the academy, I was still thinking that I was finally out of the sea of suffering, but I didn't expect that I would have to suffer again now, I just hope that this academy will be more interesting than the original one..."
Although everyone in this group hates reading, they are also well aware of their responsibilities, so no one dares to relax and careless...
And after class, in the curiosity of the students, they are also trying to find a way to build a good relationship with them... (To be continued......)
