Princess Shouxi was very happy when she heard that the fourth sister was looking for her today, so she hurried over.

And she is very favored, because she has the most beautiful appearance and is the pearl of the entire royal family.

Xianfeng also loves this sister very much, which makes her a little naughty.

When I came to Princess Shou'an's mansion, I didn't report it, so I rushed to the room directly.

And then...... I saw this scene in front of me.

Su Yu's hand was placed on her sister Shou'an's chest.

This...... This...... How can this be?

The fourth sister is already married.

Moreover, this Su ...... Does it seem like it could be my future forehead?

As a result, the two of them were together like this?

This, isn't this a mess?

Therefore, all of a sudden, Princess Shouxi was stunned.

And Su Yu and Princess Shou'an were also stunned.

Su Yu hurriedly retracted his hand.

Princess Shou'an said: "Eighth sister, things are not what you imagined. ”

Princess Shouxi reacted at this time and exclaimed, "How can you do this? ”

Then, she ran away as fast as she could.

Su Yu said: "Do you want me to chase her back?" ”

Princess Shou'an said: "No, she is very smart and won't talk nonsense, she will come back to me in a while." ”

Then, she glanced at Su Yu with disgust and said, "You are really, do you just hold the silver ticket, why do you want to push it around?" Okay now, let her misunderstand, what else can I do with this matchmaker? ”

"Okay, you go back first, I'll talk to her in a while."

Su Yu was also very embarrassed, took the silver ticket, and then walked outside.

Sure enough, Princess Shouxi did not run away, but stood behind the rockery, and after seeing Su Yu come out, her exquisite face was angry and glared at Su Yu fiercely.

Shameless bad man!

She had actually seen Su Yu once, that is, the time when the Queen Mother summoned her.

………………………………………………

Next!

Su Yu once again entered the palace to face the saint.

"Su Yu, let me introduce you, this is Yixuan, the commissioner I sent to assist you." The Emperor said with great interest.

Su Yu stepped forward and arched his hand: "Meet Bei Ziye." ”

Yi Liang said: "Don't dare, don't dare!" Master Su, you are a superior, and I am a subordinate. ”

The one in front of him is also a big celebrity in the future, Yuan Shikai's backer, who has been in charge of the Prime Minister's Yamen for many years.

And in the future, it will be this one who inherits the throne of King Qing.

"This is Rong Lu, Yixuan's deputy, he works in the Ministry of Engineering, and this time the construction of your new army barracks will be handed over to him to be responsible." The Emperor continued.

Okay?

Another big celebrity.

Moreover, for the former traverser, Rong Lu is also an old acquaintance.

To some extent, he is still half of Su Yu's rival.

Rong Lu stepped forward and bowed and said, "Rong Lu greets your lord." ”

The emperor said: "Su Yu, the special funds from the household department will be allocated soon, and Yilu will soon receive it, and he and Rong Lu will go to Tianjin first, while building a new barracks, and at the same time contacting the Zhili Governor's Mansion and the Tianjin General Army." ”

"Your general recruitment office, I am still selecting for you, and he will be your deputy in the future, I have to choose well."

"According to your military register, half of the new army is drawn from the various armies, and this errand is left to the general recruitment office. The other half are recruited from the civilian sector. After Waitab and Tingren are done in Beijing, they can go to Tianjin first to put up a recruitment sign, and recruit a group of people, waiting for you to go over and choose. ”

Su Yu said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Now there is another important thing, which is to buy foreign guns and foreign cannons." The emperor said, "What do you think?" ”

Su Yu said: "This matter, the minister will do it personally, go to Shanghai to find the chief tax secretary Wei Tuma, and ask him to match up and buy foreign guns and cannons." ”

After the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing court lost control of the Shanghai customs and entrusted it to the British.

He became the head of the Shanghai Customs' Department of Revenue, but a few months earlier, another Englishman, Li Tai, had taken his place.

Of course, a few years later, Li Taitai's successor is the real famous, that is, Hurd, who has been in charge of the Qing Dynasty customs for 48 years.

This Englishman became a member of the Qing court, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Prince Taibao.

Of course, what is even more ironic is that after the British took charge of the customs, they paid more tariffs to the Qing court, and they were much more, even more and more every year.

The emperor said: "It is inconvenient for you to go all the way to Shanghai to bring money, and this batch of money for the purchase of arms will go directly from the Customs and Excise Department, and I will give you a will." ”

Su Yu said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

For Su Yu, the top priority is to buy arms and recruit foreign instructors.

Of course, Su Yu's ability is enough to train the army, but he is the commander, and he can't personally lead the soldiers to practice.

The best way to hire a foreign instructor is to do it, and preferably a Prussian instructor.

Li Hongzhang in the back, and Yuan Shikai in the back, all directly hired German instructors.

And even better, Su Yao's military literacy should surpass these instructors in an all-round way, and be more able to subdue them and completely suppress them.

In the current Qing court system, it takes at least two years for Su Yu to train qualified instructors.

Hiring foreign instructors and opening schools in military camps while training troops can train a large number of military personnel in the shortest possible time.

Both of these things are crucial and need to be done by him personally.

The emperor said, "Then when do you plan to go south to Shanghai?" ”

Su Yu said: "Set off as soon as possible, the minister wants to go to Tianjin in a few days, and then take a boat to Shanghai." ”

The emperor said: "Then I immediately asked the Military Aircraft Department to draw up a holy decree, and after I use the seal, you will take it to Shanghai." ”

…………………………………………

In the following time, Su Yu, Waitabu, and Tingren were all very busy.

A new army from scratch and not knowing how much to do.

At this time, Yixuan was also full of energy at this time, with the emperor's dictation, and soaked in the household every day.

Because of the emperor's will, the household department did not dare to delay, and in just a few days, the first military expenditure came.

a full 300,000 taels of silver.

As soon as the money came, Waittab immediately began to do things, and began to gather merchants from all walks of life to conduct various military bidding and procurement.

And Tingren, on his side, also began to select talents on a large scale as a teaching for teaching the new army to read and write.

Now the entire preparatory department of the new army has been roughly set up.

It is just one of the most important general offices of recruitment, the second-in-command of the future new army.

The entire capital is almost crazy about this position.

According to Su Yu's suggestion, this person must have experience in commanding troops, and he must be young enough.

On the surface, Fu Qi seems to be a better candidate.

But he is actually not suitable, because his level is higher than Su Yao.

Secondly, in Su Yao's planning, Fu Qi is not suitable for this position.

Moreover, for this position, Su Yu can't say too much, because the emperor is already very interesting, three core positions, let Su Yu arrange two of his own people.

This deputy of the new army, the emperor will definitely arrange his own people.

Although in the emperor's eyes, Su Yu is also his own person, and he is absolutely his own person.

But the emperor needed the chief and deputy of this new army to be in competition so that the emperor could have the right to decide.

From Su Yu's point of view, he hoped that Wang Shiqing would be his deputy.

But this is absolutely impossible, Wang Shiqing is not qualified.

Whether it is family background, qualifications, etc., it is not enough.

Don't look at him as the future martial champion, but the foundation is too shallow.

According to Su Yu's judgment, this deputy of his new army should be a powerful person.

Just look at Yixuan, dignified Beizi, come and make a money bag for Su Yao.

It's just that the emperor's vision is not good, this Yilu is not a good candidate to manage money, but Rong Lu is a smart person.

Of course, this kind of personnel arrangement is the most powerful for Su Yao.

The beauty of this will be known later.

…………………………………………

Night!

Rong Lu came to visit secretly.

"Your Excellency." Rong Lu went up and back and knelt down on one knee directly.

Su Yu stepped forward and helped him up: "Zhonghua, you and I have been friends for many years, there is no need to be like this. ”

can't talk about friends, it's still half a rival, but they do know each other.

Rong Lu said: "Back then, my father was the chief soldier, and Brother Su Yao's family was embarrassed, and I still had a lot of domineering, which is really ridiculous when I think about it now." ”

This is a smart person who exposes his shortcomings and pulls in relationships.

Su Yu said: "You are very familiar with Yixuan? ”

Rong Lu said: "I know each other very well, since my father and uncle are gone, I have no connections in the court." Yixuan went a lot of ways, and finally got this position, and I was slightly led by him. ”

Su Yu said: "I see. ”

The two of them met for the first time, so they stopped at a superficial level.

Su Yu said: "For my deputy, have you heard any rumors?" ”

Rong Lu said: "Xia Guan has no connections in the court, but Yixuan Beizi has deep connections, so I probably heard a thing or two." ”

Su Yu said: "Who is it?" ”

Rong Lu said: "Second-class guard, Bo Yan Nemohu!" ”

Sure enough, it's a top magnate.

Next, the two talked a few words, and Rong Lu said goodbye and left.

…………………………………………

In the next few days, the wind gradually became clearer.

The general recruitment office and the second-in-command candidate of the new army gradually became clear.

It's the emperor's henchman, the second-class guard, Bo Yan Nemohu!

Of course, he has another identity, that is, the son of the prince monk Grinqin.

can be regarded as one of the top magnates of the dynasty.

Although he had not yet made his intentions clear, he had already begun to do things, and began to select candidates from various military camps to be incorporated into the new army.

The emperor's will, he was in charge of half of the new army's troops, drawn from various armies.

And Su Yu is responsible for the other half of the soldiers, recruiting from the people.

It is said that the eldest son of the prince should take the initiative to visit Su Yu, the chief, but obviously he is very arrogant, and he goes to recruit troops on his own, without the slightest intention of visiting.

And Yixuan is very sensible.

In just two days, he came to the house three times.

As Beizi, he was very humble, and he was very eager to invite Su Yu to a secret dinner, and he wanted to entertain him well.

…………………………………………

"My lord, something is wrong with this Nemohu, obviously you are the chief official, and he will not come to visit." Waita sermon.

Ting Ren said: "In the past few days, he has been walking around various armies, selecting elite soldiers, and he is very active. ”

Li Qi said: "Master, he wants to fight for power with you." ”

Su Yu said: "It's okay, this prince's son doesn't know what the new army is, and he doesn't understand what system we will be in the future, and what he does will only make us a wedding dress in the end." ”

The new army system can only be understood by Su Yu, so for competitors, it is definitely a dimensionality reduction blow.

Waita said: "After we finish our errand here, we must also hurry to Tianjin, put up the recruitment sign, and quickly recruit the other half of the soldiers." ”

"When the adults come back from Shanghai, we will probably have recruited almost all the people, and we are waiting for your final selection."

……………………

Bai Feifei was talking to her husband Su Quan.

"The second brother is going to Shanghai to do business, one is to recruit instructors, and the other is to buy arms."

"I'm familiar with things on the sea, and I'm familiar with that side."

Su Quandao: "Then you can go with the second brother." ”

Bai Feifei said: "However, I am his sister-in-law after all. ”

Su Quandao: "State affairs are important, not informal. And I can't trust you? ”

Then, Su Quan said: "The second brother is doing big things, although I don't have much ability, I can't hold him back." ”

Bai Feifei said: "I'm still worried that he doesn't have enough silver, and I want to take some silver from home." And there are a group of people prepared at home, which can also be brought together to help the second brother do things. ”

Su Quandao: "Well, you can go with confidence, don't have any worries." ”

Bai Feifei looked at her husband with a lot of emotion in her heart.

………………………

Two days later.

Su Yu once again entered the palace to face the saint.

The Emperor's decree to him was ready.

"Su Yu, come quickly, this is the deputy I prepared for you, Nemohu come and meet your chief officer." The Emperor said.

The son of the monk king, the second-class guard, and the second-in-command of the new army, Nemohu, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Meet your lordship." ”

The son of this prince is tall and mighty, his face is like frost, and he does not smile.

Su Yu bent down and saluted, "I've seen Taiji." ”

Nemohu said: "My lord, I have recruited 1,300 people, and I will bring them to Tianjin in the near future, and I will ask you to review them at that time." ”

Su Yu frowned slightly, this Nemohu was too arrogant.

Although it is your duty to recruit soldiers, you should also come and ask for advice on who to pick and who not to pick.

But there is also a little benefit to letting him recruit troops.

That is, he has a high status and a wide range of connections, and he can indeed choose the best physical fitness from the various armies.

Su Yu doesn't have this face, and the armies won't pay attention to him.

Then, Nemohu said: "Your Majesty, the slave continues to run errands." ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go." ”

In the Sanxi Hall, there were only two left, Su Yu and the emperor.

"Su Yu, how about this deputy I picked for you?" The Emperor laughed.

Su Yu said: "The emperor's eyes are like a torch, and the saints are unparalleled. ”

"Hahaha......" The emperor said: "Although this Nemohu is a little arrogant, he has the ability, and he took the lead in the battle to destroy Lin Fengxiang, and his achievements were impressive." On the contrary, it was the monk king, in order to avoid suspicion, he kept pressing him. ”

"From now on, you will have to eat in a pot, and I hope that you will unite and train the new army together."

Su Yu said: "The minister remembers the emperor's teachings. ”

The emperor said: "You go to Shanghai this time, go early and return early, the construction of the new army is in full swing." Half of the soldiers have been transferred for years, and they are waiting for you to return to Tianjin to receive them. ”

Su Yu said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

………………………………………………

Next!

With the holy decree, Su Yu said goodbye to his family and went to Tianjin.

Bai Feifei took the first step and waited for him at the Tianjin wharf, and after the two met, they took a boat to Shanghai.

"My lord will go early and return early, and when you come back, more than 2,000 recruits are waiting for you to review."

Waitabu and Tingren came to see each other off.

Su Yu took six elite retinues, one person and two horses, left the capital and headed east.

Next!

Su Yu appeared on the dock with the black bow and six others, waiting to get on the boat.

This is a medium-sized steamer, which should have been bought from the Western Ocean.

It is a busy route from Tianjin to Shanghai, which is why there are such more advanced steamers.

Su Yu and his entourage booked four cabins.

Bai Feifei was already the first to get on board.

After Su Yu and the others got on the boat, he didn't feel anything, but Hei Gong and the others were stunned.

Didn't expect there to be such an advanced ship? Even the restaurant is available.

It's just that soon Hei Gong and the others didn't have time to marvel and sigh, because after the boat, they only felt that the world was spinning.

They were always on horseback, and they couldn't resist the ravages of seasickness.

After Su Yu and Bai Feifei met, she went back to her cabin to rest, and the meals were also delivered to the cabin.

In fact, between Su Yu and Bai Feifei at home, they have gotten along more naturally.

At this time, the two went out, but they were more polite than at home.

Su Yu went to the small restaurant of the fire wheel to eat.

In the restaurant, there are six foreigners.

In addition, there are two unexpected people in Su Yuzhao, who turned out to be Zhang Yuzhao and Shen Baoer?

These two people even went south by boat?

Su Yu stepped forward and said, "Brother Yuzhao." ”

Zhang Yuzhao arched his hand and said, "Master Su." ”

Su Yu said: "Are you going to Shanghai, or are you going to Wuchang?" ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "Shanghai." ”

Su Yu said: "Brother Yuzhao doesn't stay in the capital, is he ready for next year's exam?" ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "This will be tested, whether you participate or not, it doesn't matter." ”

Originally, he planned to participate in the general examination and the palace examination, obtain a high ranking, and then go to the south to serve as an official to better serve the Hunan army.

But in the prophecy of the Battle of Jiujiang, he lost to Su Yu and vowed not to participate in the imperial examination again.

Later, the emperor issued an order and let him participate in the township test. If he can win the first place, it will be reasonable.

As a result, he only finished second, which of course is nothing, it is still very honorable.

But he lost to Su Yu and stayed in the capital, which only increased the laughing stock.

Therefore, he gave up next year's examination and wanted to return to the Hunan army and continue to be Zeng Guofan's staff.

Su Yu was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Yuzhao, do you remember what I said?" ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "Which sentence?" ”

Su Yu said: "We are not enemies. ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "It's still fresh in my memory. ”

Su Yu said: "Brother Yuzhao's return to the Hunan army this time is like a dragon entering the sea, and he can show his ambitions. ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "Master Su's training of the new army is the real golden scales in the wind and rain!" ”

Su Yu said: "Then I have a simple and profound sentence, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

Zhang Yuzhao said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Su Yu said: "In the future, when Brother Yuzhao feels that the road ahead is not good, I will have a place for you by my side." ”

Zhang Yuzhao couldn't help but be stunned for a while, he didn't expect Su Yu to invite him at all?

Is this a joke?

Although you have to train a new army, whether you can train it or not is another matter.

And even if you practice, what can you do? It's just 2,000 people.

And under the constraints of all parties, how easy is it to develop and grow?

Even if you want to take control of the army alone, it is impossible.

Although the Hunan army is only tens of thousands at present, it has the financial resources of one or two provinces, and it may have 100,000 or even more in the future.

So on the stage of the Hunan army, isn't it much bigger, and you still want to recruit me?

The capital belongs to the emperor, but in the future, the south may not belong to the emperor completely.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuzhao said: "Master Su laughed. ”

Su Yu arched his hand and returned to his place.

From beginning to end, Shen Bao'er didn't say a word, nor did she glance at Su Yu.

Even if she used to be Su Yu's fiancée, she was once pregnant with a young girl.

…………………………………………………………

Night!

The steamer travels south at a fast speed on the sea.

This speed is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage, and you can reach Shanghai in three days.

It's just that the sound of this hot wheel is so noisy that people can't sleep.

Sister-in-law Bai Feifei is in the cabin next door.

Su Yu and Bai Feifei were both fine, there was no seasickness.

And Hei Gong and a dozen or so people suffered, and after getting on the boat, they kept vomiting and vomiting, and the seasickness reaction was extremely violent.

As soon as you open your eyes, the world is spinning, and you vomit softly.

What a great sin.

Su Yu couldn't sleep, so he came to the window of the cabin and looked out.

As a result, it was found that Bai Feifei was not sleeping either, and poked his head outside.

Slightly embarrassed, Bai Feifei asked, "Xiao Yu, which thing is more important when you go to Shanghai this time?" ”

Su Yu said: "It is more urgent to hire instructors, buy arms, find the tax department to match, and go through the normal process." ”

In this era, the arms trade was very prosperous.

I don't know how many brokers and how many foreign firms are engaged in this business.

"My sister-in-law is in Shanghai, do you have any acquaintances?" Su Yu asked.

Bai Feifei said: "Yes, we have business in Shanghai, and we also have partners......

This partner is obviously unusual, and he is engaged in smuggling, or fighting and killing.

"Now Shanghai and Hong Kong are adventure parks for many wandering officers, and there are many elite mercenaries and regular officers who come to the East to make money." Bai Feifei said: "It's just that some of them are really elite officers, and some of them are good looks, can you tell them?" ”

Of course!

Su Yu is probably the most elite modern soldier in the world.

Bai Feifei said: "The reason why I have to come with me is because I have connections and industries in Shanghai, whether it is to buy arms or hire instructors, I can help complete it in the shortest possible time." ”

"I've also heard recently that your new army is a bit complicated, and you need to return to Tianjin as soon as possible to preside over the situation."

Su Yu said: "I want to go back quickly, but I don't delay, when I return to Tianjin from Shanghai, my new army has probably been recruited, waiting for my reception and selection." ”

Su Yu is still full of expectations for that moment.

An army of his own, in rapid forming.

Of course, for the trip to Shanghai, Su Yu is also full of expectations.

He was going to select the most elite and outstanding career officers.

"Alright, let's sleep!" Bai Fei said, then she closed the window and returned to the cabin.

"Hmm!"

Su Yu also closed the window, returned to the cabin, and lay down on the bed.

………………………………………………………

It's the middle of the night!

Su Yao was sleeping soundly, and suddenly woke up suddenly.

Open your eyes immediately.

Suddenly he saw several barrels, all aimed at him.

And in the next cabin, there was a sound of crashing and fighting.

Moments later!

Su Yao's hatch was opened.

Bai Feifei was escorted in by several people, and several gun barrels were also aimed at Bai Feifei's head.

"Go in and sit on the bed!"

Bai Feifei raised his hands, came to Su Yu's bed, and sat down.

In the narrow cabin, there were suddenly more than a dozen people.

Su Yu and Bai Feifei were targeted by eight guns.

Then, a hot and sexy woman slowly walked in. She wears a tight-fitting suit, specially prepared for swimming.

Su Yu really hasn't seen such a hot figure and such a strong curve.

"Brother Su Yu, don't come unharmed."

"You may not know me, but I know you when you turn to ashes." The woman's voice is also very sexy, but she is full of infinite hatred for Su Yu.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Hong Renli, which is what you call the rebellious princess."

Su Yu said: "That's really a long-term friendship between gods." ”

Hong Renli said slowly: "The assassination of the Dog Emperor that day, if it weren't for you and me, we might have succeeded, and we would have avenged countless dead brothers." ”

"And it doesn't matter if you saved Princess Shou'an, you killed dozens of our brothers."

"You said that this blood feud, how should I avenge it?" Hong Renli gritted his teeth.

Su Yu said: "How do you want to take revenge?" ”

Hong Ren said: "Aren't you the first with a bow and arrow?" Aren't you the first in Wenju and martial arts? Then I will tell you, your Tartar cavalry is outdated, no matter how fast your bow and arrow are, can you be faster than a foreign spear? ”

"Su Yao, your sister-in-law should be the person you value the most, what price are you willing to pay for her?"

With that, Hong Renli raised his gun and aimed directly at Bai Feifei.

"Do you want your sister-in-law to die at my gunpoint?" Hong Renli asked slowly.

Su Yu said: "Of course I don't want to." ”

"If you don't want to, cut off your right hand in front of me." Hong Renli said: "Tonight, I will torture you well and make you regret that you have been reincarnated as a Tartar." ”

Suddenly, a knife was thrown directly over, and Su Yu caught it.

"You are the ones who pounced on the emperor and saved his life. You are the one who pulled out the strong bow with both hands and surpassed Wang Shiqing to win the first place in martial arts. Hong Renli said: "Then cut off your hand, I will spare your sister-in-law's life, I Hong Renli will do what he says." ”

Su Yu glanced at his sister-in-law Bai Feifei.

Bai Feifei also glanced at him.

The two looked at each other.

Then, Su Yu raised the knife with his left hand and put his right hand on the bed board.

"I'll count down to three, and if you don't cut off your right hand, I'll shoot your sister-in-law."

"Three!"

Su Yu raised the knife high in his left hand and began to gasp for breath.

"Two!"

"One!"

The knife in Su Yu's hand was aimed at his right hand and slashed down.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, and the knife slashed at the bed.

At the same time, Bai Feifei was flying fast and slammed into Su Yu's body, trying to use his body to block the bullet for him.

Su Yao's knife attracted everyone's attention.

But what caught him off guard was that Bai Feifei actually pounced on him to block the bullet.

Su Yu's right hand quickly drew his handcuff and shot directly at Hong Renli.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two gunshots, almost at the same time.

Su Yu's shot directly hit Hong Renli.

But Hong Renli didn't hit Bai Feifei with this shot.

It's not that she misses, it's that at the last moment, she gives up and raises the muzzle. But he didn't expect that he was hit by Su Yu.

Hong Renli lowered his head and watched as blood poured out of the wound on his chest in an instant.

………………………………………………

Note: The first update is sent, this one has been conceived for a long time, and it has been an all-night code word again.

The plot in Shanghai will be very fast, and it will be done immediately.

Engong, the monthly pass is really a little weak, can you help me? I have kowtowed to you.

(End of chapter)
