Rebirth of the Northern Giants

"Approximately how many Qing troops are there?" Xiao Chuan stopped the horse and the army, and asked cautiously.

"Returning to Your Excellency, based on my guess, there are about 1000 people in the Qing army." The subordinates are not very sure.

When Xiaochuan heard that there were more than 1000 people, he lost his courage and did not dare to pursue it by himself. He said: "The situation between the enemy and ourselves is unknown, so let's make a decision after Your Excellency the Commander arrives."

It wasn't until the next day, after Xiao Chuan and Shan County joined forces, that the two soldiers dared to pursue them together, and at this time Ye Zhikui had already gone away.The two pursued to the border of Pyongyang Road, but they flinched and did not dare to go any further. After a few days, Fang Xin withdrew his troops unwillingly. He heard that a friend from Shanxian had a serious illness and was bedridden for half a month after returning.

The first volume of North Korea, Chapter 32, another big talent fell into the hands

In Pyongyang, Ye Zhikui was summoned by Ye Zhichao the next day after he returned to the camp.

In Ye Zhichao's camp, the two uncles and nephews were seated. Ye Zhichao's compulsory drug rehabilitation has been very successful recently, and the war went smoothly, his complexion has changed greatly.

Ye Zhichao took a sip of tea and said, "Congyun, yesterday you fought against the Japanese again, what happened?"

Ye Zhikui knew that the matter was serious and he couldn't hide it. He couldn't have swallowed the five hundred tons of gold all by himself, so he smiled generously and said, "Uncle, it's just that my nephew accidentally robbed a lot of property from the Japanese."

"Stealing Japanese property? That amount should be huge, otherwise the Japanese reaction wouldn't be so violent!" Ye Zhichao asked curiously.

"It's not a lot." Ye Zhikui curled his lips and said embarrassedly: "It's only over 200 tons of gold, and only those Japanese who have never seen the world think it's a lot."

"More than 200 tons of gold?" Ye Zhichao's eyes widened, he took a breath, and stood up from the chair regardless of his posture. Seeing Ye Zhikui's calm look, he sat down embarrassedly. Said: "There are so many! It's no wonder that Youpeng from Shanxian came here personally."

Ye Zhikui didn't think so. Two hundred tons is too much for you. If you know it's five hundred tons, you don't know what to do.

"Congyun, you prepare this batch of gold..." Ye Zhichao said carefully.

"Don't worry, uncle. My nephew decided to hand it over to the court. I'm very worried about keeping it with me." Ye Zhikui replied without waiting for Ye Zhichao to finish.

Ye Zhichao pondered for a moment, and said: "The amount is huge, and the court has to hand it in, otherwise it won't spread well, so you just hand in a hundred tons, and you can figure out the rest. After all, these are your lives. I worked hard." Ye Zhichao still took good care of this nephew, and said for him.

What more could Ye Zhikui say!I can only thank this uncle.

After a while, Ye Zhikui said again: "Uncle, the shells in our army are almost used up again, see if you can get some of them from your army first."

Ye Zhichao's head started to hurt again when he heard Ye Zhikui's words. This is the first time Ye Zhikui has picked up all the shells in his army, so he could only blame him: "Ah, Congyun, It’s not that uncle is talking about you, I heard that you use live ammunition in your military training! You should know that once the cannon is fired, it’s worth ten thousand taels of gold, no matter how much ammunition we have in our army, it won’t be able to withstand your consumption like this.”

Ye Zhikui didn't think so. Seeing that the war was coming to an end, if he didn't need live ammunition to train the soldiers, he might have to spend his own money to buy shells for training in the future.

Ye Zhikui didn't care about other things, just looked at Ye Zhichao pitifully with his two eyes, this kid started to pretend to be tender again, this kind of eyes made Ye Zhichao feel very burdened.

Ye Zhichao had no choice but to say: "Well, you go to my artillery team to ask for it yourself. Whether you can get it depends on your own ability."

Ye Zhikui was overjoyed when he heard that Ye Zhichao had something that Ye Zhikui couldn't get in Ye Zhichao's battalion. Seeing that Ye Zhikui was no longer pestering him, Ye Zhichao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. , if you can get the ammunition without the old man's warrant, then you are a ghost.

Ye Zhikui, who didn't know the situation, hurriedly led a few soldiers to the station of Ye Zhichao's artillery team. After knocking on the door and entering, he saw that the officers and instructors of the artillery team were there.Then he shouted: "Who is in charge here?"

The team officer naturally knew Ye Zhikui, and had already been tricked by Ye Zhikui several times, so he could only reply with a bitter face: "This is a lower official's decision, I don't know why Young Marshal Ye condescends."

Seeing that the team officer was so easy to talk to, Ye Zhikui said directly: "Someone is here to receive the flower shells."

"This," the team officer replied reluctantly: "I don't have much left here, I'm afraid I will disappoint Young Master Ye."

Ye Zhikui saw that the team officer was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open. He had investigated before he came, how could there be no such thing, so he said roguely, "I will stay here if I can't get anything today."

The team officer was helpless, looking at the sitting instructor.

The instructor had a thin face, a weak body, and a serious expression, serious and unsmiling, he was really ugly, Ye Zhikui didn't know why the team officer looked at him.

Seeing the team officer begging for help, the instructor had no choice but to stand up, walked up to Ye Zhikui, and said: "People say that Ye Shao governs the army very strictly and does not seek personal gain, and seeing him today is nothing more than that."

Ye Zhikui's soldiers glared at him one after another, and the instructor was not in a hurry, nor frightened, and then said, "Excuse me, Young Master Ye, do you have a warrant from Marshal Ye."

Ye Zhikui shook his head and said no, the teacher then asked: "Is there a formal letter?"

Ye Zhikui had no choice but to shake his head again.The instructor stared at Ye Zhikui, and said: "Neither this, nor that, since this is the case, why did Young Master Ye withdraw the shells from our army? Could it be that he wanted to use his power to suppress people?"

Ye Zhikui was left speechless by the question, and pretended to be angry and said: "You little teacher, how dare you stop my matter with Ye, are you afraid that someone will punish you?"

The instructor did not change his face, and replied: "In the army, orders are the first priority. First, I will not corrupt the law, and second, I will not violate the law. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Ye Zhikui admired in his heart, what an upright teacher.I had no choice but to cup my hands, and said: "I am wrong today, Mr. Ye, so I will go back to the camp and ask Ye Shuai for a document before I come." After saying that, he took people away.

Seeing Ye Zhikui leaving, the team officer seemed angry, so he said to the teacher with a worried face: "Pin Qing, you have offended Young Master Ye this time, what should I do!"

The teacher named Pinqing smiled casually, and said indifferently: "If Young Master Ye is so small, he wouldn't have such achievements today. Besides, the world is so big, how can it not accommodate a mere scholar like me."

The team officer shook his head helplessly, and said earnestly: "Pin Qing, I'm not talking about you. With your talent, if you change your temperament, you will be able to achieve success."

To teach silence, some things cannot be lost.

When Ye Zhikui walked into Ye Zhichao's room again with a bitter face, Ye Zhichao was practicing calligraphy. When he saw Ye Zhikui, he guessed what was going on, and couldn't help chuckling twice. Said: "Congyun, did you come back from a meal today?"

Ye Zhikui smiled awkwardly: "It's not uncle, you lied to the cloud, you didn't even give the warrant, by the way, uncle, who is the artillery instructor in your army, he is just and fair."

Ye Zhichao glanced at him, and said with a big smile, "You mean Pinqing, I didn't expect that my nephew would be defeated by him today. Pinqing has been with me since he was 15 years old. He was an orderly for me at first, but after seeing that he is clever, He was recommended to enter the Tianjin Armed Forces Academy, where he studied in the Artillery Department for three years, and was promoted by the old man to be an instructor of the Artillery Team. He is very clear about the old man, and he is the most upright."

Employment?Could it be Wang Shizhen!Ye Zhikui couldn't help being a little excited, and asked softly, "Could it be that Pinqing's name is Wang Shizhen! I've heard of him before."

Ye Zhichao glanced at him, thinking that he had a heart for talents, and joked: "Yes, it is him, why are you interested in him, isn't my nephew usually dismissing my subordinates?"

Ye Zhikui smiled awkwardly, Wang Shizhen, that's Wang Shizhen, unexpectedly Wang Shizhen is now under Ye Zhichao's hands, if Ye Zhikui doesn't dig him over, he won't forgive himself until he dies.

Wang Shizhen, who has the title of "Dragon of the Three Heroes of Beiyang", is the most respected Beiyang soldier by Ye Zhikui. One is that Wang Shizhen has the talent for governing the country and is promoted as the "Crown of the Three Heroes". Dabbling in China and foreign countries, he is the number one military talent in Beiyang; second, Wang Shizhen is loyal to his superiors. Competing for power and profit, touching people with kindness and respect for others.May I ask such a modest gentleman with both morality and learning, can Ye Zhikui not be moved?

Ye Zhikui thought for a moment, and said: "Uncle, my Huyong Army is short of a good instructor. Uncle must help Congyun and hand over Pinqing to my nephew!"

Ye Zhichao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Congyun, Congyun, you are really a robber. I'm afraid that if I don't agree with you, you will come to the old man's camp every day to bother the old man. Anyway, it's okay for the minister to dispatch you, but from now on I won't let you go." Don’t bother the old man to ask for ammunition anymore, it needs to be distributed according to the military system.”

Ye Zhikui was afraid that Ye Zhichao would regret it, so he agreed without hesitation, and Ye Zhikui, who had just been hired by Ye Zhichao for the first time, also learned how to be good, insisting that Ye Zhichao write down the transfer order on the spot.

Ye Zhikui, who had received the order, walked out of the room and couldn't hold back his surprise any longer. He laughed three times and said, "The Dragon of Beiyang finally entered my hands and ears."

In the artillery camp, Wang Shizhen, who did not know that she had been betrayed, felt that her left eyelid kept twitching.

The first volume of Korean situation Chapter 33 Those things after the war

Ye Zhikui’s robbery in Seoul shocked China and Japan. Japanese Minister Keisuke Oshima later issued a statement accusing him of saying: Ye Zhikui, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan Town in the Qing Dynasty, ignored the tendency of the two countries to negotiate peace, deliberately provoked the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea, and conspired to cause trouble between the two countries. The dispute triggered a war again, demanding that the Qing government severely punish Ye Zhikui and return the looted property.Of course, in the statement, Japan did not specify the amount of looted property, because they also obtained this batch of property through unknown sources.

Because Ye Zhikui handed over a batch of property, the Qing government made a fortune without any effort, and Ye Zhichao managed it up and down. The Qing government tried its best to protect Ye Zhikui. No truce agreement was signed, so Ye Zhikui's attack on Seoul was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it. He just scolded him for sending troops to plunder privately. I would like to let the old man know if he can make a fortune in the future Make a fortune!

At that time, a British reporter in Pyongyang interviewed Ye Zhikui and asked Ye Zhikui's views on this matter. Ye Zhikui said indifferently: "If the Japanese side has any dissatisfaction, they can come to Pyongyang and rob me." Everyone was silent, and the Japanese had no words can be said.

Ye Zhikui, who was in the center of the storm, didn't care about these things, and trained his brave tiger army step by step according to the New Army Art of War. In Ye Zhikui's mind, everything else was just a cloud, and only military power was king.

………………

"This is your new instructor! Wang Shizhen, Wang Pinqing." Ye Zhikui led Wang Shizhen to introduce to the soldiers at the artillery post of the Huyong Army.
