Chapter 83: That's it! The power of the army is in hand! Su Yu is an official!

Half an hour later!

A tube of blood was injected into Princess Shou'an's body.

The emperor couldn't help but look at Princess Shou'an with anticipation.

However, it took a quarter of an hour to wait.

A miracle did not happen.

Princess Shou'an still hasn't woken up, and the high fever hasn't gone away.

Of course, it is not that fast, and for the body that has not used penicillin, although the effect of the drug will be faster, it will take at least an hour or two.

But for the emperor, he was still disappointed in his heart after all.

A deep sigh.

"Your Majesty......" Wang Chenggui shouted softly.

Because it has passed the time of the early dynasty, the civil and military officials have been waiting for a long time.

The emperor glanced at Su Yu, then left, heading towards the Qianqing Palace.

…………………………………………

Above the court.

In the hands of the emperor, in the hands of the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, in the hands of all the important members of the Ministry of War, and in the hands of all the important members of the Ministry of Households, there is a book.

"New Army Strategy".

This is a military book written by Su Yu, about 30,000 words.

It is based on Yuan Shikai's military book and has been improved many times.

Yuan Shikai was compiled according to the military system and training system of the German Army.

In this world, this is actually the highest level of military writing.

The content is very detailed, including the allocation of troops, various disciplines, detailed training banners, and so on.

At least Su Yu himself couldn't write it, it was the negative eighth sister and the red flag planted all over the world and others, perfected it over and over again, consulted a special military academy, looked up the relevant materials of the German army in the 19th century, and finally compiled it.

In terms of level, it is absolutely unique in the world.

However, in the eyes of everyone, this military book was written by Su Yu himself.

But...... In this court, it is actually a pearl secretly cast.

This group of people can't read and can't understand it.

Because this is too different from the traditional Chinese military book.

It's even too disruptive.

From the officer system, to the military uniform, to the military song, to the composition of the troops, all are different.

It has been three full days since the Military Aircraft Department, the Military Department, and the Household Department got this military book.

It was discussed over and over again.

Finally a conclusion was reached.

Whimsical, whimsical, wishful thinking.

At today's court meeting, there is only one thing to discuss.

Su Yu's new army, whether to train or not.

"Chuan Su Xuan."

A moment later, Su Yu went up to the temple.

The emperor said: "What we want to discuss today is a big event, and everyone knows it, Su Yu wants to train the new army, so do you want to train it?" ”

Suddenly, the household department was listed.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are against it!"

"According to this book of soldiers, a regular soldier is paid three taels of silver a month, the leader is five taels, the sentry officer is twenty taels, the leader is one hundred taels, and the commander is three hundred taels."

"A county only has a lot of money a month, less than four taels. An eight-banner infantryman only has a lot of silver a month, just one or two or five cents! ”

"Brother Su Yu, the salary of a regular soldier in your new army is the same as that of the Zhixian, twice as much as the Eight Banners infantry, what do you want to do?"

"According to this algorithm, you have trained two thousand new troops, do you know how much it costs to pay a year? Nearly 200,000 taels! ”

"Plus food, weapons, armaments, and so on!"

"Your new army needs to invest at least a million taels."

Many of the officials present had not read Su Yu's military book, but they were completely stunned when they heard what Hubu Shangshu said.

A million taels?

Train an army of two thousand people?

Crazy?

Of course, he is not crazy, in fact, in Su Yu's book of soldiers, the salaries of regular soldiers and officers are already lower than Yuan Shikai's small station training.

But it still shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

But what is the most important thing about the army?

Money and food!

Let's talk about these two things first, and then we talk about discipline, will, mind, and so on.

Without these two things, everything is empty.

Su Yu also thought about using his sister-in-law's belongings to train the army before, but later found out that he was too naΓ―ve.

The two or three hundred thousand taels of silver in the family looks like a lot, but it is really a drop in the bucket when used for military training.

How much did Zeng Guofan's Hunan army spend from beginning to end? Tens of millions of taels.

Moreover, Su Yu and Zeng Guofan are different.

He is in the capital, if you use your own money to train soldiers, what do you want to do? Rebellion?

The military department is still listed.

"Su Yu, in your military book, the entire organizational establishment has also been subverted."

"You have a total of two thousand men, two battalions of infantry on one wing, and six hundred men in each battalion."

"Two artillery posts, twelve heavy guns, 300 soldiers, 20 fast guns, 300 soldiers."

"A battalion of horses, four hundred and eighty men."

"The rest of the sappers, doctors, copywriters, etc., two hundred."

"An army of 2,500 people in total, and so many types of troops, do you sprinkle pepper noodles?"

"In addition, this is the military uniform you designed, isn't this a Western military uniform? Do you think my Qing military uniform is so eye-catching? ”

The military department Shangshu held up a painting, on which was the new military uniform drawn by Su Xuan.

From soldiers to officers of all ranks, the style is different.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were even more unacceptable for a while.

I've been wearing the previous military uniform for hundreds of years, and I haven't seen anything wrong.

The yellow flags all said: "The armor and the like are not worn?" So how do you block a bow and arrow? β€œ

Su Yu said: "Your Majesty, I have already made a tailor-made military uniform, please wear it to the ministers, and give it to the emperor!" ”

"Accurate!"

Su dragged out and came to the side hall.

Changed into a brand-new military uniform that has been customized a long time ago, and it is still a senior general uniform of the German Army!

When he wore a new military uniform and a military cap, he appeared in the court.

Everyone's eyes were a little straight.

Because...... It's really very powerful.

It's really very good-looking.

Su Yu was already very tall and handsome, and under the backdrop of this straight military uniform, he looked even more heroic.

Compared to the old military uniform, I don't know where it is better to see.

Anyone who has a little bit of aesthetics must admit that this military uniform is very good-looking.

And a good-looking military uniform can definitely inspire a sense of honor among soldiers and officers, and the military appearance is more majestic and neat.

The old Manchu military uniform, loose and saggy, what is it?

But it was still that sentence, which was too subversive, and it made the Manchu civil and military full of unease.

"Su Yu, you are admiring the foreign, admiring the foreign."

"The military uniform handed down by my ancestors in the Qing Dynasty makes you so unaccustomed to it?"

Rui Chang said: "Don't you know that Westerners are eyeing us? That war more than ten years ago, forgot? Westerners don't die and forget? ”

Su Yu said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you say that the military salary I set is too high. Don't you hear a saying, if the salary is thin, everyone has their own selfishness, and there are many evils. If the salary is thick, people have no thoughts, and they will do their best to follow the public. ”

"You keep saying that the salary of a regular soldier in the new army is more than that of Qipinzhi County. That's right, a county's annual income is forty-five taels, but ask yourself, what is the real income of a county in a year? Four thousand taels? Ten thousand taels? ”

"Thousands of miles to be an official, just for money! When an official only thinks about making money, there is nothing. But what will be the consequences of a soldier who doesn't feed him and makes him want to make money? Don't you know better than I am? ”

"Lord Ruichang, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, you say that I worship the foreign and flattering, and that the Westerners are eyeing us."

"Yes, absolutely! Westerners do not die in the heart of me. ”

"But the battle more than ten years ago, didn't everyone count it in their hearts? How big is the gap between the combat effectiveness of our army and the British army? ”

"Know that others are strong, then understand them and surpass them, instead of hiding at home and watching the sky"

Hubu Shangshu said: "Su Yu, in your military book, you also have to buy new foreign guns and new foreign cannons from the West, do you know how much it costs?" ”

Su Yu said: "Does Lord Ministries really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?" The reason why the Hunan army was able to fight was because they were all buying new Western weapons, and now even the rebels are buying foreign guns and cannons on a large scale. ”

Rui Chang said angrily: "Su Yu, you are presumptuous, you are presumptuous!" My Qing Dynasty relied on archery to seize the world, and you dared to degrade the ancestral techniques to uselessness? ”

Su Yu said angrily: "If you want to talk about bows and arrows, who can compare to me in the Manchu Dynasty?" Who can compare to me in the entire Eight Banners? ”

"Who? Stand out! ”

"You keep admiring the law of your ancestors, but what about your riding skills? What about your archery? Mess! ”

"It's a big joke, people who can't ride horses and can't shoot arrows shout every day that their ancestors ride and shoot."

"When it comes to advocating the law of our ancestors, who can compare to me?"

"In the imperial examination, I am the first, who can compare to me?"

"In the martial arts examination, I am also the first, who can compare to me?"

"These are the laws of the ancestors, who can compare to me?"

"I, the first person with bows and arrows, and the first in riding and archery, don't use bows and arrows anymore, and they all say that they want to use foreign guns."

"You keep talking about the ancestral techniques, then I want to ask, when the anti-thief Hong Renli assassinated the emperor, why did he use foreign guns instead of bows and arrows?"

"But what are we going to do when the whole world is using foreign guns?"

The commander of the Shenji Battalion said coldly: "Brother Su Yu, you keep talking about foreign guns and foreign guns, I am the ancestor of playing foreign guns, we also have advanced muskets in the West, and I don't know how good your foreign gun shooting skills are?" Just blowing the air here? Do you play with foreign guns and foreign guns? After you buy these things, will you use them? ”

Su Yu said: "Shenji Battalion General, let me ask you how my bow and arrow archery skills are?" ”

The commander of the Shenji Battalion said: "The general is asking about foreign gun archery, not bow and arrow archery. ”

Su Yu said: "I have bow and arrow archery skills, and the Eight Banners are invincible." And my marksmanship is invincible in the world! ”

"Not to mention your entire Shenji Battalion, even in the whole world, I can't find a few people who can match me, why don't you try? In your Shenji Battalion, if you can find half of your marksmanship that is comparable to mine, I will immediately go to the ancestral tomb to guard the tomb, instead of blowing nonsense with you here. ”

"Whether it is a foreign gun or a foreign cannon, there are few people in the entire Qing Dynasty who can surpass me! If you can find out, you will go to the school tomorrow to compete, not to mention winning me, even if you can win me in ten games, I will go to guard the tomb of my ancestors, and then I will not be a leader! ”

was scolded by Su Yu in front of the hall, and the face of the commander of the Shenji Battalion was blue and white for a while.

But, I really don't dare to bet with Su Yu.

Zhenghuang Qi said coldly: "Su Yu, aren't you capable of it?" Why even ask for Prussian instructors? Didn't you lure the wolf into the house? ”

Su Yu said: "That's because my level in any aspect is better than these Prussian instructors, and I can suppress them." ”

"I need to teach them what I can do and then spread it. It comes down to learning what I teach, and those instructors are just tools, and only they can comprehend what I teach. I also want to find instructors in the Qing Dynasty, but I will train them for at least two years, and time is running out! ”

Zhenghuang Qi said: "Su Yu, you say that you are so strong, then in the southern battlefield, why are you repeatedly defeated and escaped in battle?" ”

Su Yu said: "Lord Dutong, your Zhenghuang Banner Army should be the strongest in the Eight Banners, right?" ”

Zhenghuang Qi said: "That's nature." ”

Su Yu said: "There is no evidence, it doesn't take a year, the new army I trained, 1,000 people beat you 10,000 people, and you can still be defeated, how about it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Su Yu, you are too arrogant.

The Jingying Zhenghuang Banner is the strongest army of the Eight Banners.

Do you dare to say that you are one against ten?

Su Yu said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to make a military order, within a year, the minister will train the new army, if you can't defeat any battalion of the Eight Banners with one enemy and ten, the minister will take off all the crowns and no longer be officials." ”

Hubu Shangshu said: "Your military order is fluttering, you are completely on paper, if the new army trained is not worthy of a battle, even if you take off your crown, even if you are exiled to Ningguta, what can you do?" Can the spent treasury be returned? ”

Su Yu said: "Then add one more, if the new army I have trained cannot become the strongest army in Beijing, then I will be confiscated, the property I have copied, and the military expenses will be paid." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone shook their heads.

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, but you are an official but you want to make yourself bankrupt?

That's pretty weird.

At this point, the Manchu and Korean debates were over.

It's time to take a formal stand.

"The minister is against!"

"The minister is against!"

"The minister is against!"

Except for the Minister of Military Aircraft, except for Ruilin, all came out to oppose it.

The eight banners are all unified, and all of them are opposed.

The officials of the six departments were all against it, except for Ruilin.

Jiuqing, except for Tian Yugong, was all opposed.

Guanglu Temple Qing Wuren thought for a while, and also said: "The minister thinks that Su Yu should be of great use, but the minister opposes the formation of the new army!" ”

He is a conservative, and he likes Su Yu very much.

But for the new army proposed by Su Yu, he instinctively rejected.

Prince Hui Mianyu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The minister is against it." ”

This statement is more fatal.

Because in everyone's eyes, Su Yu's backers are Chongen and Ruilin, and these two people are considered Prince Hui's party.

So it seems that Prince Hui is Su Yao's biggest backer.

But at this time, even he objected.

Then, all eyes were on the Emperor, waiting for his final verdict.

The emperor's gaze at Su Yu was full of guilt, and he was about to speak.

And at this time, the eunuch Zenglu rushed in.

"The emperor is overjoyed, the emperor is overjoyed, Princess Shou'an has woken up, and the fever has subsided!"

When the emperor heard this, he could hardly believe it.

Then, he left the dragon chair directly and headed in the direction of the harem.

……………………………………

After Su Liu's blood transfusion, more than an hour later, the effect of the medicine had already started.

Her fever had subsided.

Two hours later, she woke up.

All the imperial doctors present were shocked, they were really pulled back from the ghost gate?

Su Yu's blood, is it so magical?

Could it really be auspicious?

Zenglu wanted to go to the emperor to give good news, but at that time, the court debate was in full swing, so he did not interrupt Su Yu's play.

When the emperor was about to speak, Zenglu felt that it was not good, and hurriedly reported the good news to the emperor.

The emperor entered.

Sure enough, when I saw Princess Shou'an wake up, I couldn't believe it at all.

Several imperial doctors knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, what a miracle!" ”

"Soon after Brother Su Yu's auspicious blood entered the princess's body, her fever subsided, and the ministers were still not sure."

"Now the minister is sure that Princess Shou'an's life is not in danger for the time being."

"Such a miracle has never been seen or heard of!"

The emperor was ecstatic in his heart, and his dearest people finally survived.

Suddenly, the emperor said: "Regarding the blood of Su Yu Xiangrui, it is not allowed to be spread outside, and the offender will be beheaded!" ”

Everyone prostrates: "Yes." ”

Princess Shou'an only felt wonderful, at this time, there was Su Yu's blood flowing in her body.

Moreover, his blood actually pulled her back from the ghost gate.

The first time, it was Su Yu who saved her.

The second time, it was Su Yu who saved her.

This...... What kind of fate?

So, although weak, Princess Shou'an was in a stirring mood.

She looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what Su Yu wants to do, but he definitely wants to do great things." I'm a woman and don't understand anything. But I only know one thing, he is a clan, his own brother. ”

"Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers."

"As long as it's not too costly, why not let him give it a try? What if it happens? ”

The emperor was stunned.

That's right!

What's wrong with giving it a try?

It's just a million taels of silver.

Although this number is large, the annual treasury income of the Qing Dynasty is tens of millions of taels, and this million taels is not impossible to come up.

If it fails, the big deal is the loss of one million taels.

But what if it happens?

What about the harvest?

Jiangnan Daying, Jiangbei Daying, how many tens of millions have been consumed over the years?

However, this matter is too subversive.

There is too much opposition.

And Su Yu has never really been in charge of the army, all of this is really just on paper.

If it fails, it loses more than just a million silver.

And reputation.

Seeing Princess Shou'an's expectant gaze, the emperor nodded and said, "Fourth sister, don't worry, I will consider it." ”

Then, after saying a few words to Princess Shou'an, the emperor continued to return to the Qianqing Palace.

Because everyone awaits his decision.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer, and there must be a resolution today.

……………………………………

When I return to the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor found that the atmosphere was not right, because there was one more person in the court.

A messenger.

The atmosphere was depressing.

That familiar feeling came again, almost becoming a psychological shadow for him.

The emperor said, "What...... What's wrong? ”

The messenger said: "The governor of Huguang has reported in an urgent manner that Hu Linyi, the former state of the domain, failed to attack Wuchang and suffered heavy casualties. ”

Lost, lost again!

Emperor Xianfeng stood in place and closed his eyes in pain.

Su Yu's words couldn't help but sound in his head.

From now on, the minister only wants the emperor to hear the good news, and never hear the report of defeat again.

Get your feet wet?

Why don't you give it a try?

In the emperor's mind, there was an extremely fierce struggle.

All the reason on the left told him that Su Yu was talking on paper.

He had been defeated many times in the south before, and he fled from the battle.

Zhao Kuo talked about the army on paper, and the defeat of Ma Tan Street Pavilion is vivid.

The strong emotional impulse on the right told him, give it a try, give it a try.

Su Yu's auspicious blood has just saved the fourth sister.

Su Yu Wenju Township Test first place, Wuju Township Test first place.

Just let him give it a try?

He's a clan, a true man of his own.

Even if it fails, it's just a million taels of silver.

What if it succeeds? What if it succeeds?

The audience was silent, and everyone stared at the emperor.

Zenglu was about to cry.

At this time, the most supportive of Su Yao in the audience was him.

Because he is a eunuch and very pure, he wants to see a big hero, he doesn't think as much as civil and military officials, and weigh so many pros and cons.

He will never forget the scene of the Wuju Township test that day.

As a companion, Zenglu knows the emperor best, and at this time it is almost a little bit.

Just a little bit.

At this time, a doctor from the Tai Hospital waved his hand at him.

Zenglu glanced inquiringly.

The other man nodded vigorously.

Zenglu rushed in again.

"The emperor is happy, the emperor is happy."

"Tai Hospital has just diagnosed the pulse, and Concubine Li is already pregnant with the dragon species."

When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed again.

Today there is very bad news, the defeat of the South.

Two good news, Princess Shou'an has come back to life, and Concubine Li is pregnant with a dragon species.

Does this mean anything?

This is not very good news, but for a balance that is already in balance, a little weight can change direction.

Step by step, the emperor walked back to the dragon chair.

It seems that with every step I take, I have strengthened my thoughts.

After a long while, the emperor said: "Su Yu wants to train a new army, I ...... Decided, give it a try! ”

As soon as these words came out.

Many courtiers came out one after another.

"The emperor thinks twice!"

"Su Yu is talking on paper, please think twice."

"If the new army is poorly trained, it will not only lose national funds, but will become the laughing stock of the world."

"It's very inappropriate to subvert the law of the ancestors like this!"

The Emperor raised his hand and stopped everyone's voices.

"If the new army is successful, how many million will it gain?"

"If the new army does not succeed, then at least it will have crossed this path."

"Proposed decree, canonize Su Yu as the supervisor of the new army, as well as the imperial guard, and the military department Langzhong!"

Suddenly, countless envious and jealous eyes looked towards Su Yu.

Three official positions, spanning civil and military?

Isn't this holy favor too strong?

Su Yu stepped forward and saluted: "Minister, thank you, Lord Longen." ”

…………………………

Note: The first shift will be delivered, and the next shift will still be around 7 p.m. I urgently need a monthly pass, can I be given it by my father-in-law? Thank you.
