Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Wang Shizhen was helpless and speechless, Ye Zhikui didn't go to ask for shells that day, but asked for him instead.Originally, Wang Shizhen was a little reluctant to be forced into the Tiger Army by Ye Zhikui, but when Ye Zhikui discussed with him some ballistics he had learned in Germany and later known to later generations, he also used basic subjects such as geometry and arithmetic to improve artillery skills. Wang Shizhen was deeply impressed by the application of the application in front of Wang Shizhen.

Wang Shizhen himself graduated from the Artillery Department of the Tianjin Armed Forces Academy. The instructor was a German officer, while Ye Zhikui studied in Germany directly. , gathered them into one post, and finally willingly agreed to Ye Zhikui to come to the Huyong Army Artillery Post as an instructor.

Ye Zhikui's appointment had just been made, and everyone was not very convinced. They talked one after another. The artillerymen of the Tiger Warrior Army had a certain arrogance. The powerful artillery team, there is still a teacher who is not as good as he is on the Korean battlefield.

The sentry officer Zhao Ergou said bluntly: "My lord, this Wang Jiaoxi has little meat all over his body. Can he be the instructor of our artillery post? The artillery post of our Tiger Army requires real talents, doesn't it?" The other guards can mess around."

Ye Zhikui didn't answer, stepped aside, and handed over the problem to Wang Shizhen. He wanted to see how Wang Shizhen, known as the Dragon of Beiyang, would deal with it.

Wang Shizhen went straight to the point without saying anything else. He walked up to the cannon produced by the Rupp Steel Works, and in front of everyone, first explained the various structural components and functions of the cannon, and then pointed out some of the minor problems of some of the cannon. Give corrections one by one.

Seeing that everyone listened with gusto, Zhao Ergou was gradually convinced by the others. He snorted coldly and said, "I'm just a nerd. The ultimate purpose of a cannon is to hit the target. What's the use of knowing these structural parts?"

Wang Shizhen smiled slightly, and did not refute the short and black artillery sentry officer, but said: "In this case, Zhao sentry officer dares to compete with me. Let's choose a target and try three shots in a row to see who wins in the end." Hit more targets closer."

Zhao Ergou agreed naturally, and Ye Zhikui was also happy to see the result. After ordering to find two cannons that were almost the same, Zhao Ergou came first, and he squinted his eyes for a while based on the experience he had learned on the battlefield. He ordered the artillerymen to fire three shots at his request.After three shots, one shot hit the target, and the other two shots were not far away from the target. Obviously, this result is considered very good. Zhao Ergou looked at Wang Shizhen triumphantly.

Wang Shizhen ignored him, estimated the distance to the target, lowered his head, and scratched directly on the ground. After a while, he raised his head and ordered the artillery to adjust the angle according to his requirements. Zhao Ergou stood aside and wrote If you want to hit the target after just two strokes, it is not so easy to dream.

Wang Shizhen blasted three cannons down, two of which hit the target, and the other was also very close to the target.Wang Shizhen's hand immediately shocked many officers and soldiers at the artillery post, Zhao Ergou was still unconvinced, and shouted that it was luck.

Ye Zhikui gave him a hard look, stepped forward and said: "Now you bastards know that there are mountains beyond mountains, and there are people beyond people, don't you think that I am number one in the world just because you killed a few devils?" In the future, study hard for me. Wang Jiaoxi graduated from Tianjin Wubei Academy and is very capable, especially you, Zhao Ergou, don’t be convinced. When you learn Wang Jiaoxi’s tricks, come see me again.”

Wang Shizhen gradually won the respect of the artillery sentry sergeants with his real talents and knowledge, and Ye Zhikui treated him with more courtesy. Later, Wang Shizhen wrote a letter suggesting that Ye Zhikui set up an engineering battalion in the Huyong Army. The main task is to implement the project. Reconnaissance, construction of important fortifications, construction, installation and removal of obstacles, implementation of sabotage operations, construction of roads, erection of bridges, opening of crossings, installation of various mines, mines, mines, etc.He also proposed to cultivate the soldiers' sense of absolute obedience and loyalty, and let them believe that Ye Zhikui is their food and clothing, and only by obeying his orders can they be promoted and make money.After Ye Zhikui read it, he adopted it one by one, and regarded it as his right-hand man.

In the first ten days of October, Japan suffered successive defeats in the Korean battlefield and its national strength was limited. The huge consumption brought about by the war increased the burden on ordinary Japanese people, which led to peasant riots breaking out in many places in Japan, and social unrest.As a last resort, Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito made a clear request for peace talks to the Qing government on October [-]. The Qing government also appointed Li Hongzhang as its plenipotentiary representative. The two sides agreed to start peace talks in Pyongyang, North Korea.

Li Hongzhang is about to enter the DPRK in a few days. Ye Zhichao, the leader of the North Korean President, ordered all the troops to prepare to assist Mr. Zhongtang.

Before Li Hongzhang entered the court, after Ye Zhikui received the peasant uprising broke out in Japan, he secretly ordered Jianren Shiwu to select more than 30 surrendered Japanese soldiers and several thirteen eagles, carry a large amount of property, and take a merchant ship to Japan to lead the Japanese peasant uprising.Ye Zhikui did not seek success, but only wanted to provide some eye medicine for Japan.

Before these surrendering Japanese soldiers left, they had written surrender letters against insulting and cursing the emperor. Once they returned to Japan and wanted to repent, Ye Zhikui would make these letters public and stated that they carried huge amounts of property. For the treasure in these people's hands, he will not let them go, so Ye Zhikui believes in their "loyalty".

On the other hand, Ye Zhikui asked Jianren Shiwu to choose a few clever guys to buy a batch of medicinal materials in North Korea to go to Japan in the name of a drug dealer and open a pharmacy to prepare for drug trafficking in the future.Heroin has been invented for use as a powerful pain reliever.

Ye Zhikui contacted his former German friends through the German ambassador to North Korea and spent a lot of money to introduce a production line in North Korea, start a drug production company, and then sell these drugs to all over the world in the form of drugs openly. Of course, the best place is the first choice. It is Japan.

Although Concubine Min doesn't know why Ye Zhikui attaches great importance to this "small business", it does not hinder her support for Ye Zhikui. Under the collusion between government and businessmen, the preliminary preparations of the pharmaceutical factory are carried out extremely quickly and smoothly, and issues such as site selection, building, and staff are quickly resolved. After being solved, of course Ye Zhikui would not wait for the arrival of the machine. He pretended to be a trick and ordered the factory to produce some common medicines first.

After finishing all this work, Ye Zhikui became the hands-off shopkeeper, and handed over some cumbersome matters to Jianren Shiwu, an expert, to manage. What Ye Zhikui wanted was the result.

The first volume of North Korea, Chapter 34, Li Hongzhang is here

Before the start of the peace talks between China and Japan, Muruhito appointed Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mutsu Munemitsu as peace ministers and plenipotentiaries. Shan County, commander of the First Army, met with friends and was about to go to Pyongyang for negotiations.

Japan's negotiating entourage included more than 30 people, including Naval Commander Kawayama Sukiki, First Army Commander Yamagata Aritomo, Minister to North Korea Keisuke Oshima, Field Administrator Komura Kotaro, and First Army Nozu Michiru.

When Ito Hirobumi and Yamagata Aritomo met in Seoul, he asked Yamagata Aritomo about the reasons for the failure of the battle in detail and expressed incomprehension that the empire had lost many middle- and lower-level officers in only a few battles.

Upon hearing Ito Hirobumi's question, Youpeng Shanxian replied with a little sadness: "Ito-kun, after many days of investigation by our army, I just realized that the important reason for the heavy losses of the emperor is that Ye Zhikui formed a brand-new special type of army. The team, Ye Zhikui called it the Thirteen Iron-Blooded Eagles."

"Special Forces! What kind of army is that?" Ito Hirobumi asked, frowning, obviously hearing this name for the first time.

Yamagata Youtomo thought for a while, tried to make Ito understand, and explained: "This is somewhat similar to the ninjas in our country, but they are different. In short, their tasks are varied, such as assassinating enemies, spying on intelligence, protecting generals, and even directly Participate in battle on the battlefield. However, please rest assured, Yijun, my first army has already started to form a big Japanese special operations team based on the example of Ye Zhikui's special operations team. I believe that if Ye Zhikui wants to succeed again in the next battle, he will not So easy."

Ito Hirobumi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, it's hard work for Mr. Shan County."

...............................

As for the Qing court, Li Hongzhang organized a delegation and led his group of Beiyang warriors to North Korea. The entourage included: Li Jingfang (son of Li Hongzhang), who was a minister in Japan and married a Japanese woman, and who was familiar with foreign affairs. Wu Tingfang, Ma Jianzhong, etc., as well as an American consultant and former US Secretary of State Costa, landed from the Datong River Estuary in North Korea on a merchant ship and will arrive in Pyongyang soon.

In Pyongyang, in Ye Zhikui's camp, Ye Zhikui is patrolling the camps.

Because when Li Hongzhang came, he would definitely inspect the ministries, so Ye Zhichao ordered the ministries to be ready, and said that if anyone displeases me during the inspection, I will make him dissatisfied from now on.Ye Zhikui could only secretly say that there are always face projects in any age.

Ye Zhikui took Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, Wen Baishan and others to inspect the battalions first. Because his usual requirements were very strict, he didn't find any problems, so he prepared to go back to the main tent. But when he passed the training ground, he saw a familiar man. The figure couldn't help but walk forward, while the others were hesitant to move forward.

It turned out that he saw Xiao Linglong lying on the ground, aiming at the target and seriously practicing with the gun. As the butcher's daughter and her unclear relationship with Ye Zhikui, no one dared to stop her.

Ye Zhikui stepped forward, frowned and blamed displeasedly: "Little Linglong, what are you doing? Are guns fun? What if you accidentally accidentally fire yourself?"

Seeing that it was Ye Zhikui, Xiao Linglong quickly got up, blushing and pulled the hem of her clothes without speaking, and seeing Ye Zhikui scolding her, she kept silent even more.Since Xiao Linglong secretly kissed Ye Zhikui at the gate of the city last time, every time she saw Ye Zhikui, she seemed at a loss, her face was flushed, and she was not like a witch in front of other people. Tian is lively and lively, and likes to make small jokes and play tricks on people everywhere. The soldiers of the Tiger Warrior Army saw that this little lady was cute and lively, and she had no airs. Although they were teased from time to time, they all liked her very much.Just secretly gave her the title of "Little Witch".

Although Ye Zhikui understood her thoughts after that incident, but time is running out recently, and Xiao Linglong is still young, so if he has any thoughts of making love, he will leave her alone.

The little girl knew Ye Zhikui's thoughts, but secretly regretted it, for fear that Ye Zhikui didn't like her, and she didn't dare to ask Ye Zhikui directly, so even if Ye Zhikui didn't like her, she wanted to be an indispensable person around Ye Zhikui, so Just like my father, that's why I practiced my gun so hard, I hope that I can help Ye Zhikui and stay by his side when the time comes.

Ye Zhikui really didn't understand the thoughts of these daughters who had turned around several times. Seeing that there was some dirt on Xiao Linglong's forehead, he couldn't bear to blame her anymore, so he stepped forward and gently wiped it off with his hand, and continued: "Look, you are so careless, you have made mud all over your body, go back quickly!"

Little Linglong blushed, and hummed softly. The shyness of her daughter's house and the burst of girlish fragrance made Ye Zhikui lose his mind for a moment, and when he woke up, Little Linglong had already gone far.

After shaking his head to let the charm in his heart disappear, Ye Zhikui waved his hand, and the instructor from the training ground who was far away quickly ran over.

"How long has Xiao Linglong been training here?" Ye Zhikui looked at the instructor and asked.

As for Xiao Linglong, the instructor was very clear about it, so she immediately replied: "Returning to Young Master Ye, Miss Linglong has been here for nearly half a month, and each time she has been training for a long time before leaving."

"Really?" Ye Zhikui pondered for a moment, at first he thought that Xiao Linglong came here for fun, but now it seems that she really likes to play with guns.In this case, it is not easy to stop yourself. "In this case, you don't have to stop her every time she comes again, but you must check the guns and ammunition in advance to make sure there is nothing wrong, you know?"

"The subordinate understands!" The teacher responded.

..............................

On October [-]th, when Li Hongzhang and others entered Pyongyang, Ye Zhichao led the North Korean generals to greet him outside the city gate. Ye Zhikui finally met this Lord Zhongtang who had different evaluations in history. He is already very big, with a gray beard, wearing three-eyed feathers, and a yellow mandarin jacket, but he still walks like a dragon and a tiger when he walks, his eyes are piercing, and when he sees Ye Zhikui, his eyes stop for a while, with a little encouragement, Ye Zhikui is in the city. Although it was a short glance at the door, he was deeply impressed.

After Li Hongzhang had a rest in his residence, the concubine of the Korean king held a grand banquet in Anhe Palace to entertain Li Hongzhang and others to clean up the dust for him. Li Hongzhang was very gentle with others about some things that happened in the army. When his subordinates spoke, he listened with a smile, and interjected a few words at the right time, which made the generals feel like a spring breeze.

On Shuri, Li Hongzhang proposed to inspect the various ministries of North Korea. Regardless of his old age, he inspected the camps one by one.He couldn't help saying to the people accompanying him: "The Huyong Army is really the master of Tiger Ben."

Before he had traveled far, he came to the first battalion again, and saw the battalion officer with a fat head, big ears, and a short body. He couldn't help frowning, and asked Ye Zhikui, "Who is this in your battalion? The old man saw that he didn't look like a soldier at all." , why are you in a high position?"

Ye Zhikui looked embarrassed, and was about to reply, when I saw Ye Zhikui being criticized by his superiors because of himself, I said in secret, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said excitedly, "Oh! This, this is Mr. Zhongtang, no wonder the little one Seeing the purple air coming from the east, and the magpies on the branches, it turned out that it was Master Zhongtang who came here. I hope for the stars and the moon, and I finally look forward to the Lord Zhongtang whom General Ye talks about all day long. I am so honored, supremely honored, the villain is originally from Dongying, and it is precisely because of his admiration for the Qing Dynasty and Lord Zhongtang, that he turned his back on the dark and turned to the light, and joined General Ye's family to serve you and General Ye."

After the guy finished speaking, he still looked at Li Hongzhang affectionately with his pair of hot little eyes.It seemed that as long as Li Zhongtang said a word, he could die for it.

Ye Zhikui secretly gave him an appreciative look, and said at the right time: "This man was originally a military officer of the Japanese, and later he took refuge in me, and he was more established, so his subordinates promoted him to be the first battalion officer of North Korea."

Li Hongzhang saw Ren Shiwu's seemingly honest and honest face, and connected with what he said just now, he couldn't help stroking his beard, smiled slightly, and said, "He is a wonderful person." Ye Zhikui breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

After Li Hongzhang inspected and played all the ministries, he went back to Pyongyang to rest. Officials from all parties in North Korea stepped through the threshold of Li Zhongtang in a short time.

Volume 35 Korean Situation Chapter [-] Signing of the Pyongyang Treaty

Ito Hirobumi and his party arrived in Pyongyang on October [-]th and stationed in the post. China and Japan began peace talks, which immediately attracted the attention of all countries in the world. Envoys, reporters, spies, assassins and other figures of the three religions and nine schools of thought moved here one after another. , Turning the second largest city in North Korea into an exhibition hall of ethnic groups of all nations overnight, the citizens of Pyongyang have never seen as many foreigners in their lifetime as in recent days. The influx of so many people also tested Li Hongzhang's dispatching skills.
