Chapter 99: Half a Year Later! The new army has been formed! Fateful moments
The mutiny of the new army spread throughout the entire Zhili and the Beijing Division.
Everyone was waiting for the emperor's will.
If it makes such a big fuss, how will it be handled?
Su Yu was demoted? All those who participated in the mutiny, all put to death?
However, after ten days, the emperor still did not have any will.
Half a month later, the emperor still had no will.
After 19 days, the cholera in the New Army camp had largely subsided.
The Emperor's will has come.
"Fengtian carried the emperor to summon and said, Boyan Nemohu completed the recruitment of troops as scheduled, I was very relieved, promoted to a first-class guard, and returned to Beijing on the same day, Qin this!"
Boyan was stunned, his eyes showed a trace of pain, and then bowed down and said: "Slave Xie Master Longen, long live, long live, long live!" ”
After all, the emperor transferred him away.
"Su Yu takes the order!"
Su Yu stepped forward and knelt down and saluted.
"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and ordered Su Yu to take full charge of the new army, add the four grades of Tianjin Dao, and a few days later, he will supplement the military expenses of 200,000 taels, Qin this!"
"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live, long live, long live!"
Suddenly, the cheers of the new army were heard behind him.
"Wing Marshal Mighty!"
"Winged handsome victory!"
"Long live the emperor!"
The arrival of these two decrees represents the official end of the infighting of the new army.
Su Yu won a complete victory, Bo Yan was defeated, and the new army soldiers he recruited also made wedding dresses for Su Yu.
This struggle, which lasted for months, is finally over.
More than 400 people died in the New Army, and more than 100 people died in the Tianjin Green Battalion.
The defeat of a prince's son, the tragic death of a second-class master.
The most important thing is about the disposition of mutinous soldiers, which is not mentioned in the holy decree.
Don't kill a single person.
Do not dispose of a single person.
Even Lin Li, who took the lead in the mutiny, was not dealt with in any way.
Su Yu sighed in his heart, he knew in his heart that at least at this moment, his holy family had run out.
Moreover, it is not that this mutiny is over, absolutely not.
The emperor did not say that he would dispose of it, but he also did not say that he would not dispose of it.
That is, shelved!
The sword of Damos always hangs overhead, ready to fall at any moment.
After the training of the new army, if great results are obtained, then the mutiny will be revealed.
And if the new army is trained, the result will be like that, it will not be a strong army at all, but no different from other armies.
After actually going to the battlefield, he didn't make a big contribution.
So...... Counting the old accounts together, it is not as simple as executing all the mutinous soldiers.
The emperor will feel that he has been cheated and that all his efforts have been fed to the dogs.
Roughly refer to Yuan Chonghuan's five-year Pingliao.
………………………………………………
Su Yu and Boyan said goodbye and set up a simple wine.
"You won......" Boyan raised his glass towards Su Yu.
Su Yu shook his head, then raised his glass to drink.
The result of the infighting was too tragic.
Su Yu couldn't help but say: "Boyan, your means of seizing power shouldn't be so drastic. If you were more relaxed, you wouldn't have to go this far. ”
Boyan said: "I'm fierce, isn't it intense?" ”
"Su Yu, I did stumble on you from the very beginning, but this is extremely common in the army and officialdom." Boyan said: "Everyone has to swallow their anger, endure it and it will pass, who is like you, who directly pulls out a knife to kill people?" ”
That's true.
In the officialdom, there are many cases of stumbling each other, what is the little anger that Su Yao received on the first day of entering the barracks?
As a result, Su Yu killed the butler of the governor of Zhili with a knife.
Suddenly, everything intensified in an instant.
The struggle changed directly from feminine to extremely fierce, and in the end hundreds of people died, and a second-grade master died as the end.
Su Yu said: "Boyan, of course I know that my slash will directly intensify the conflict, but won't I cut it with that slash?" Can you train this new army without cutting it? If you don't cut it, is there any difference between this new army and other armies? ”
Some things can be endured, and some things can't.
Su Yu said: "The personal conflict between Zhang Yuzhao and me is so intense, I endured it and did not retaliate." It wasn't until he snatched my guns and guns that I killed him. ”
"So, I can tolerate personal conflicts, but I can't bear official affairs!"
"Time is running out, and I don't have the energy to waste time on this pointless fight."
Boyan said: "You have used the holy family all of a sudden, is it worth it?" ”
Su Yu didn't speak again, of course it was worth it.
He is not for promotion and wealth, everything he does is to seek power and usurp the throne and change his life for the country.
Time is already running out.
In a few months, the Jiangbei camp will be broken.
In a few months, the Tianjing Incident will break out.
At the end of the year, the Second Opium War was about to begin.
One link is one ring, and every node is extremely important to Su Yao.
The impact of missing a single step is enormous.
So, where does Su Yao have time to waste, and he is still here to fight with you openly and secretly?
It's just that where does the other party know this, and the words are not speculative.
When the saints run out, they can earn more.
Boyan said: "Do you know why the emperor is desperate to support you completely? ”
This time, the emperor was indeed an all-or-nothing gamble.
Transfer Boyan and let Su Yu take charge of the new army alone. For mutinous soldiers, put it on hold for the time being.
Make up 200,000 taels of silver.
This is by no means purely a saint, the emperor at this time is more like a gambler.
I have already paid so much before, and the sunk cost is too high, so I must win, so I can only pay more, and any interference factors that affect winning must all be moved.
The Emperor must have thought about it for a long, long time before finally making this decision.
Boyan said: "So, you can't afford to lose. ”
Not only Su Yu can't afford to lose, but the emperor can't afford to lose.
The next day, Boyan left the new army with his few men and returned to the capital.
At this point, there was only one leader in the entire New Army.
…………………………………………
Zhaobu knelt in front of Su Yu, motionless.
"Yishuai, my father used all his courage at the last moment, as well as his life, to preserve the last glimmer of hope for our family."
"Father and we have all cut off the road on the side of the Eight Banners, and I can only follow you."
"Yishuai, I'm still in time with you, is it too late? Do you still want to take me? ”
Su Yu stretched out his hand towards Zhaobu and said, "Collect!" ”
Zhaobu kowtowed and said: "From now on, Zhaobu will look forward to the winged handsome horse." ”
Su Yu said: "Then in the future, see you in the matter!" ”
Zhaobu got up and said, "The humble post is out." ”
After Zhaobu left, Su Yu stood in place, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to brew.
When he opened his eyes, Li Qi handed over the military hat.
Su Yu put it on, and then pushed the door out!
Outside, 1,900 new troops stood in order.
The original 2,300 or so new troops were beheaded for violating military law, and 200 were killed in cholera.
Now, that's one thousand nine.
However, it was all worth it.
These 1,900 people, no longer divided between Manchu and Han, are united as one, and their hearts are full of flames.
When Su Yu appeared, all eyes looked at him.
Infinite awe, infinite love and admiration.
The law of marching, so that all the new army in awe. A cholera made Su Yao gain everyone's love.
"In the last few months, a lot has happened and a lot of people have died."
"In this mutiny, the emperor has not disposed of anyone for the time being."
"Boyan, the eldest son of Prince Horqin, has been transferred."
"Zhaolin, the co-director of the New Army, committed suicide."
"This is a great kindness, but it is also a great pressure!"
"We're standing on top of a cliff!"
"In front of you is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and behind you is an abyss."
"Eight Banners are watching us, the Green Camp is watching us, and the emperor is watching us!"
"We have no way out, half a step back, we are broken."
"Only forward, forward, forward!"
"Only strong, strong, strong!"
"In a few months, we'll be officially in the army."
"At that time, if we are not as strong as we think, then we will also die without a place to bury."
"Die!"
"Win or win!"
"Gentlemen, it's time to fight hard!"
…………………………………………
It's time to fight hard!
These are the only words in the minds of all the people of the New Army.
The army of this world has no faith.
And Su Yu's army already has a preliminary belief.
Win!
This word is their current faith.
Win or die!
There is a flame hidden in everyone's body.
Every day is desperate.
Training that borders on madness.
The training intensity, which was already very high, is still improving.
Practice marksmanship, practice artillery, practice equestrianism, practice sapper skills.
Each has his or her own role.
Training during the day and literacy at night.
Everybody is spinning.
The Western officer corps was also completely shocked by this scene.
This army is brewing a flame.
A powerful force is brewing.
Just waiting for the day when it explodes violently and is officially a blockbuster.
This amount of training has exceeded that of any army in the Qing court.
Even, it has surpassed the armies of the West.
And every day's food, without any deduction, a massive supply.
Bullets, and not stingy.
Every elite soldier is fed with bullets.
Money is spent.
Sir Henry's transport, coming and going, carrying batch after shipment of ammunition.
He exclaimed as he made his fortune.
Are you crazy? Are you making a fortune by selling arms?
Otherwise, why is there such a high consumption?
On the emperor's side, another sum of money was allocated.
Su Yu looked at the silver that was spent, and his whole body was shocked.
Although the emperor has allocated a lot of silver, ...... It doesn't seem to be enough.
You can't ask the emperor for money anymore, he definitely won't give it.
And so, Sir Henry's side smiled like a devil.
"Need a loan?"
"The interest rate is very low, not high at all."
"HSBC, is that okay?"
"In the name of your Su Yu."
So, Su Yu signed his name and borrowed the first money from HSBC, which was equivalent to 200,000 taels of pounds.
As soon as the money arrived, it immediately turned into ammunition and guns.
It turned into a lot of eggs, pork, and a small amount of beef.
Originally, there was no food of this level, although the food of the new army was far superior to that of other armies.
But under this terrible amount of training, the original food is still not enough, and the physical strength cannot support it.
When a modern military is training at high intensity, it is easy to urinate blood.
And Su Yao's new army, in a certain period of time, the proportion of urine and blood was unprecedentedly high.
When the recruits ate such food, many of them cried on the spot.
When I was at home, I had never eaten such a good thing, and I couldn't even eat it during the New Year's holidays.
Not only them, even if they are landlords in this era, it is difficult to eat meat in ordinary times.
……………………………………
Colonel William ate beef and drank red wine.
"Sir Su Yu, you are desperate, I suspect that one day, the British Empire will regret supporting you."
Su Yu said: "In front of the empire on which the sun never sets, I am so weak and vulnerable. A strong army is not only trained but also needs to be tested by blood and fire. ”
Then, Su Yu said: "Colonel William, what are your plans when the contract expires?" ”
Colonel William said, "Will you give me a higher salary?" ”
Su Yu said: "Of course, the salary is much higher. ”
Colonel William said, "Then I will consider it very seriously and continue to serve you." ”
"Sir Su Yu, I'm really curious about what your new army will be like after training."
"Is it stunning the world, or is it ......"
………………………………………………
Crazy training day in and day out.
Time passed day by day.
Winter is over, spring is coming!
Su Yu's new army soldiers did not look stout, but became thinner one by one.
Everybody is dark.
Only two eyes, shining!
Spring has begun!
The Wenju test begins, and the martial arts test begins!
Wang Shiqing followed Guiliang to Shandong and Henan to suppress the twist, and made great military exploits, famous in the north.
He returned to Beijing only three days before the martial arts examination.
Just as Su Yu said, he completely broke through himself.
In the entire martial arts examination, it was completely his one-man performance.
Almost all of the results surpassed Su Yu's Wuju Township Test at that time.
Then, in the martial arts hall test.
He has gone one step further and achieved better and stronger results than in history.
He is known as the first martial champion in the past century.
His bravery can even match that of the crown prince Yang Yuchun.
In Jingshi, he replaced Su Yu and became the new martial arts star.
After winning the martial champion, the emperor rewarded him greatly.
He had already accumulated military exploits before, and with the addition of the champion of Zhongwu, the emperor directly carried him into the Eight Banners Han Army and was named a second-class guard.
At this time, Su Yu recommended Wang Shiqing to become the deputy marshal of the new army.
A few days later!
The emperor decreed that Wang Shiqing, a second-class guard, became the deputy marshal of the new army.
At this point, the deputy marshal, who has been vacant for several months, finally has a candidate.
After Wang Shiqing entered the New Army, he was very low-key.
Everything is obedient to Su Yu, never interferes in the affairs of the army, and just buries himself in studying.
And he must also attend every class of Su Yao.
He didn't seem to think of himself as a deputy commander, although he had already made great achievements in the first battle.
But when he came to the new army, he was like a recruit, retraining.
Even, hungry to learn new things.
…………………………
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Wang Shiqing and Su Yu rode wildly, raised their horse guns, and aimed at the seagulls in the sky.
He was strong in his bow and arrows, and he was quick at his pistol.
In other words, he practiced everything very quickly.
Cavalry formations, saber tactics, rifle tactics, etc.
Almost in the shortest possible time, he became the strongest cavalry in the new army.
Su Yu said: "Brother Shiqing, you, the deputy marshal of the new army, don't have any substantive position, so how about wronging you to be the commander of this cavalry?" ”
Wang Shiqing immediately rolled off the horse, knelt down and said, "Thank you for the promotion." ”
Su Yu said: "If you are in the Eight Banners, or the Green Battalion, I am afraid that you are only in command of one or two thousand cavalry, where is it like me, where can you only command a few hundred horse teams?" ”
Wang Shiqing said: "Commanding a team of hundreds of horses on the side of the wing commander is far more than the two thousand cavalry commanded in other places. ”
Su Yu said: "Brother Shiqing, when I was trying in Wuju Township that day, I took a fancy to you, and now I finally got what I wanted." ”
Wang Shiqing said: "When I was in Wuju Township that day, I didn't look down on Yishuai. But at this time, it was like a meal. ”
Su Yu stretched out his hand and said, "You and I are brothers, and their profits are golden." ”
Wang Shiqing first stretched out his hand to shake it, and then bowed down again and said: "Shiqing is only handsome and handsome." ”
……………………………………
History has changed here.
A very important node that Su Yu was waiting for did not come.
Originally, in history, the Jiangbei camp should have been broken by the Taiping army.
This was an incomparably huge blow to the Qing court.
But more than half a month has passed, and this incident still hasn't happened.
April 25th!
Concubine Yi gave birth to a prince, and the emperor was overjoyed.
This is also two days earlier than in history.
The emperor's eldest son was born, and the whole world celebrated.
The emperor canonized Concubine Yi as Concubine Yi.
At this time, the new army had been training for about seven months.
In the past few months, the emperor did not summon Su Yu.
Su Yu still had a performance for three days, and most of them did not reply.
Reply occasionally, I already know!
But his support has not decreased, and half a month ago, he sent another sum of silver.
The meaning is very clear, gossip less, and show real skills.
Use your new army to prove yourself to me.
………………………………
A few days later!
A major event occurred in Beijing, and there was a mutiny in the Eight Banners camp.
Hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers burned the camp tent, chased after the main general, and beat and killed seven of the main general's own soldiers.
Then, all eyes were on the emperor.
What do you do with it this time?
The last time there was a mutiny in the new army of Su Yu, kidnapping the deputy marshal Boyan and killing six of his own soldiers.
As a result, the emperor did not punish him, not only added a Tianjin Taoist rank to Su Yao, but also transferred Boyan away, and he did not kill him when he participated in the mutiny.
Now there has also been a mutiny in the Eight Banners.
If you don't deal with it, I don't know how much chaos it will have.
But if the Eight Banners are dealt with, will the soldiers who mutinied in the Su New Army also have to be dealt with?
The Emperor suddenly felt a tremendous pressure.
I hesitated for three days!
The emperor decreed that he should be severely punished!
As a result, the hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers who participated in the mutiny, led by more than a dozen people, were all beheaded.
There are a few hundred people left, all of whom are out of the flag!
As soon as this punishment came out, the entire capital was in an uproar.
The entire Eight Banners were in an uproar.
Countless flag people, boiling against the sky.
There is no such bad abuse, there is a mutiny in the new army of Su Yao, you don't punish it.
Our Eight Banners Barracks made a mutiny, but instead went on a killing spree, directly expelling hundreds of people from the flag.
How can this convince the public?
Your Majesty, our Eight Banners are your foundation.
Is this new army so expensive?
What kind of ecstasy soup did this Su Yu pour into the emperor?
…………………………………………
Nourishing Heart Palace, Sanxi Hall!
"Your Majesty, now the armies of the Eight Banners are boiling with emotion, and I am afraid that it will cause drastic changes again."
"More than 100,000 people in the Eight Banners in Beijing are all uneven."
"In order to appease the anger of the public, we should treat everyone equally, and issue an order to deal with the dozens of people who led the mutiny of the new army."
Ruilin said: "The emperor can't, the reason why the Tianjin New Army mutiny is because of life and death, which is excusable." ”
"A mutiny is a mutiny, and there is no extenuating circumstance. If we can't treat everyone equally, won't it chill the hearts of the armies in the world? ”
"Isn't the emperor serious enough for Su Yu? For his mere 2,000 new troops, millions of taels of silver were spent. ”
"The new army is infighting, Prince Korqin's eldest son, how honorable? The emperor still ordered Boyan to be transferred out and let Su Yu be in charge of the military alone. ”
"What kind of new army deserves to be treated like this by the emperor? In comparison, our Eighth Banner Army is like a mustard. ”
"The Eight Banners are the foundation of my Qing Dynasty, if the heart of the Eight Banners is cold, the world will be unstable, Your Majesty."
Not only the battalions of the Eight Banners, but even the court is surging.
In fact, the last time Boyan was transferred back, there was already a trouble.
This time, the Eight Banners mutiny was killed, and it was another trouble.
It's just that this time it's even more troublesome.
The emperor summoned Wang Shiqing.
"Wang Shiqing, do you think the group of people who mutinied in the New Army should be killed?"
Wang Shiqing kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the mutiny of the new army at that time was completely different from that of other armies, and this group of mutinous people was the most elite group of people in the new army and the most loyal to the emperor. ”
"The emperor didn't deal with them, every time they talked about it, they were grateful to the emperor and couldn't cry."
The emperor said: "Then in your opinion, is this new army an elite?" Is it really as Su Yu said? ”
Wang Shiqing said: "The minister has not been in the new army for a short time, but he has never seen such a desperate army, nor has he seen such a loyal army. Everyone was training desperately, and almost every soldier had urinated blood. ”
"Your Majesty, because you haven't really fought a war, you're not sure if the new army is a strong army in the world. Danchen firmly believes that in time, this new army will definitely not disappoint the emperor. ”
"Your Majesty, the scholar dies for his confidant. Since the emperor showed favor to the new army, it was like showing grace to the end. ”
The emperor fell silent.
For this new army, why is he not desperate?
It's too much, too much.
So, too, there are huge expectations.
Originally, the emperor had a certain amount of patience, waiting for the one-year period to expire, the new army was completed, and then went into battle.
But now, the Eight Banners are almost overwhelmed.
If the anger of the Eight Banners Jingying is not appeased, the consequences will be unimaginable.
As a new army with high hopes, shouldn't I come out at this time to help me share the burden?
………………………………
The next day, above the court.
Again, it was discussed how to deal with the mutiny of the Forces nouvelles.
Wen Qing, the foreman of the military aircraft, said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a way. ”
The emperor said, "You say." ”
Wen Qingdao: "Su Yu kept saying that he wanted to train the strongest army in the world, and he kept saying that he wanted to train an army that had never been seen in a hundred years of history. ”
"Then let him prove to everyone what kind of army deserves to be treated differently? What kind of army deserves such indulgence? ”
"If the performance is really amazing, it is indeed as Su Yu said, then everyone is naturally convinced, then who dares to make trouble in the Eight Banners Jingying? You can't compare to others, and you still have the face to make trouble? ”
"But if it turns out that the new army is not as powerful as Su Yu said, then Su Yu is a waste of national funds, and he should be punished more severely."
Ruilin said: "Lord Wenqing, the emperor and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty agreed to give Su Yu a year to train the army, and now it is less than eight months. ”
Wen Qingdao: "Is there much difference between eight months and one year?" ”
Ruilin said: "Of course there is a difference, there are still four months left." ”
Wen Qingdao: "Then how can you suppress the current situation?" Su Liu's new army was less than 2,000 people, while the Eight Banners Beijing Battalion had more than 100,000 people. ”
The emperor said, "Wenqing, tell me what you think." ”
Wen Qing said: "The emperor's eldest son was born, the whole world celebrated, and the emperor ordered the military parade and military ceremony, so that the elite of the Eight Banners Beijing Battalion were selected to participate, and the new army of Su Yu participated." ”
"If the new army is really as Su Yu said, it will definitely amaze the audience, win the first place, and let the Eight Banners Jingying be convinced, and be brave after being ashamed."
"If the new army is not as strong as Su Yu said, but not as elite as the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, then the emperor will order severe punishment and calm the anger of the Eight Banners Beijing Battalion."
"That way, you get the best of both worlds."
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded their heads, thinking that this was indeed an excellent solution.
The emperor thought for a while and said, "See! ”
Next!
The emperor issued an order to conduct a military parade and military exercise.
Let the armies in the capital select the elite to participate, and let the Tianjin New Army participate.
Suddenly, the restlessness of the various armies in the capital subsided.
Then I started picking the elite and started training hard.
At that time, let the emperor and the world take a good look.
What new army, what army that has not been seen in a century?
It's all bragging.
We have more than 100,000 people, can't we pick out a few thousand elites, and we can't overwhelm your less than 2,000 new troops?
It will completely overwhelm the limelight of your new army and make you disgraced.
How long have you been practicing? It's been less than eight months.
You have most of the soldiers, and you used to be mud-legged and peasants.
And how many years have we been practicing? Training has been started since childhood.
That is, the emperor was fooled by you, and he would believe that you would train a strong army in the world.
This time, you'll be able to show the prototype.
Just puncture your diorama.
And the people of the capital were suddenly full of infinite expectations.
It's lively again.
Su dragged the new army, making a lot of noise, and now it is a mule and a horse, pulling it out for a walk.
……………………………………
Camp for the New Army!
The eunuchs in the palace have come again.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and orders the new army led by Su Yu to enter Beijing to participate in the military parade and military exercises, and I admire this!"
"Thanksgiving, long live, long live, long live!"
………………………………
Note: The new book monthly ticket list has fallen out of the top three, panic, brothers, can you help me?
Really please.
Ask for 200 monthly passes, okay?
