Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Rong Lu took it and took a closer look. Sure enough, the sergeant on the pod started to throw explosives down. When the explosives fell to the ground, they exploded violently, blowing up the scarecrows placed on the open space. Of course, some bombs were blown crookedly. Some of them exploded before hitting the ground, but the overall effect looks pretty good.

Rong Lu couldn't help but said happily: "The heavenly soldiers from Congyun are really powerful, but it's a pity that there are fewer in number."

Ye Zhikui took the opportunity to say: "The Heavenly Soldiers belong to the Thunder and Lightning Team of our army's engineering team. Unfortunately, they have not been familiar with the soldiers for a long time. In addition, the Heavenly Soldiers have spent too much money. The money that the court has drawn is far from enough, so we There are only two hydrogen balloons in the army."

Rong Lu nodded, and said in one breath: "I see that this heavenly soldier is very powerful. Cong Yun should pay more attention to it. As for the cost, I will ask the imperial court for a special fund."

Ye Zhikui was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Master Rong really has a unique vision. It is really a blessing for the imperial court to have such a person as an adult sitting in the court. I am so worried that the new army will not be able to train, but I invite you to watch the performances of other detachments of my thunder team. Not bad either!"

Rong Lu smiled slightly, and looked forward again. Wang Shizhen practiced the mines, dry mines, stepping mines and various weapons set up by the engineering team one by one. The armies of Western countries are comparable.

After Ronglu watched the performance of the engineering team, it was the turn of the infantry, cavalry, and artillery teams to perform exercises. The infantry team walked neatly and shouted loud slogans. As soon as the herald gave an order, the soldiers ordered them to stop and stop advancing, and the herald issued another loud order: "Salute to Lord Rong!"

The entire infantry phalanx swiped in a neat movement, and gave a German military salute in the direction of Rong Lu, and even shouted loudly: "Master Rong is good! Master Rong has worked hard."

The neat and clear voice made Rong Lu's ears buzzing. Rong Lu stood up from his seat, his face full of excitement, seeing the eager eyes looking at him, his heart was so excited that he opened his mouth to think. After saying something but not knowing what to say, Ye Zhikui reminded from the side: "Master Rong, you can say that the soldiers have worked hard."

Rong Lu waved his big hand upwards, saluted back, and said loudly, "Hello, soldiers! Thank you, soldiers!" Ye Zhikui secretly covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.

After the infantry and cavalry passed by, Rong Lu hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and Ye Zhikui had to remind him again: "Master Rong, the artillery team of our army is going to pass next, the artillery team of the new army Different from those in the old army, the artillery teams of the old army were scattered in various battalions, while the artillery teams of the new army formed a separate army completely in accordance with the latest establishment of the German army, so that they could concentrate their firepower and destroy the enemy in an instant .”

Rong Lu came to his senses, probably today was the day he was most distracted, thought for a while and said: "This kind of organization is good, but unfortunately it consumes a lot of ammunition, I'm afraid the court can't afford it."

Ye Zhikui also sighed: "If the court can manufacture new cannon shells by itself, our army will have no worries about the follow-up."

Rong Lu remained silent, and after the inspection of the three armies, he began to inspect other places in the barracks. Rong Lu's first impression of Wu Yi's barracks was that it was clean and tidy, and his second feeling was that there were slogans everywhere. See: Sweat more on weekdays, bleed less in war; use me in the first battle, use me to win.

When I came to the cafeteria, I saw again: one porridge, one grain, should be thought of as hard-won;Unable to be secretly curious, he asked Ye Zhikui, "What's the use of these?"

Ye Zhikui replied: "These can remind the soldiers to remind themselves and reflect on themselves all the time, and they will obey them silently!"

Rong Lu was a little disbelieving, and asked, "Is this method really effective?"

Ye Zhikui answered four words very briefly: "Very effective!" Rong Lu couldn't help thinking about implementing it in the entire army.

A group of people went to the Military Medical Bureau again. The head of the Military Medical Bureau turned out to be the old military doctor from North Korea. When the old military doctor saw someone coming in, he stood up tremblingly, staring at Rong Lu and stood still. Rong Lu felt Inexplicably, fortunately Ye Zhikui whispered next to him: "This old gentleman has excellent medical skills and knows how to look, smell, ask, and cut. Now the old gentleman is using 'look'!"

Rong Lu also stood still, the old military doctor looked at it for a while, and then said: "It's strange, it's strange! My lord, you are suffering from kidney deficiency. You only need to replenish your body, and you don't need to go to the old man. It’s such a hassle to come to the doctor’s clinic, but since it’s here, the little old man can also be treated, so please wait a moment.”

He dared to treat Rong Lu as a patient, Rong Lu was dumbfounded, but after the old military doctor took the medicine, he sneaked up and said, "Mr., please take a double dose of the medicine." Ye Zhikui turned around Turn your face away and act as if you didn't hear.

Chapter 61 Wu Yijun Comes to Beg for Food

Rong Lu inspected the new army for several days, and found that Ye Zhikui always ate with soldiers in the army cafeteria, so he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

On the last day before leaving, he investigated Ye Zhikui's fun in the army. After learning the ins and outs of the incident, although Rong Lu felt a little troubled by Ye Zhikui's unreasonable playing of cards, he couldn't understand Ye Zhikui's pity and love for the soldiers after he understood the facts. It is not enough to turn black and white and slander Ye Zhikui for corrupting military discipline and indulge in sensuality.

That night, Rong Lu asked his staff member Yang, "How do you think the new army compares to the old army?"

Yang thought for a while, and replied: "I don't know anything about soldiers, but judging from the appearance and morale of the soldiers, the old army is far behind the new army. Moreover, the new army has various tactics emerging in an endless stream, which is unique."

Hearing what Yang said, Rong Lu agreed, "Your words are very true, Ye Zhikui must be preserved for future effect."

A few days later, after Ronglu returned to Beijing, the memorial stated: "Ye Zhikui is a man who loves soldiers and has never done anything to corrupt military discipline. The new army is powerful and is the key to self-improvement during China's reform. Ye Zhikui is a rare talent."

Rong Lu turned around and went into the Summer Palace again and said to Cixi: "The slave Guan Ye Zhikui is loyal to my Qing Dynasty, and you have more respect for Lafayette. You should be promoted vigorously. Now the emperor wants to reform and become stronger, but the emperor is still young. I have no experience at all, and I still need your secret support, Lafayette, and the emperor listens to Kang Youwei, and my servant sees that Kang Youwei is a big talker, has no practical experience, and is just a scholar, what can I do!"

Cixi was silent for a while, and Ronglu didn't understand her thoughts for a while, so he had to leave.Cixi is actually very entangled. On the one hand, she is more hostile to foreigners, hoping to become stronger through reforms and catch up with Western countries; on the other hand, she does not want Guangxu to gain power through reforms, making herself without real power.

The biggest mistake Kang Youwei made at this time was just like Guizi Liu said, he couldn't tell who was the real master of the Qing Dynasty, he was extremely naive in politics, and he didn't know what compromise was.

Of course, what happened in the capital has nothing to do with Ye Zhikui for the time being. After Rong Lu left, he only needs to live a good life now. Of course, he still has to bully and bully Yuan Shikai when he is free. In fact, Ye Zhikui couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart. There was no other way. Because Yuan Shikai's reputation in later generations was so great, Ye Zhikui was afraid that if he was not careful, it would be lost in Xiao Yuan's hands. To suppress Yuan Shikai in every possible way, poach his people and rob him of his soldiers, there is only one purpose, that is not to make Xiao Yuan strong, Ye Zhikui shouted in his heart: because I am the protagonist.

Ye Zhikui took Yuan Shikai's backstab this time. Although he didn't see any loss for the time being, he couldn't let it go. He had to let Yuan Shikai understand that there were some people he couldn't and couldn't afford.

"What? Wu Yi's army is going to march and train. What's the use of this?" Wang Wenshao started to have a headache when he saw Ye Zhikui. Ye Zhikui increasingly regarded the Governor's Mansion as his home. Whenever he had any weird ideas, he would come here to discuss with himself. He said it was a discussion, but in fact there was a discussion. Anyone who knows Ye Zhikui knows that he is actually a rascal. No matter what he brings up, you have to agree. If you don’t agree, he will definitely grind you until you agree. until.

Ye Zhikui cleared his throat and said, "My lord, it's like this. The so-called training is to let the troops leave the station and organize training during the march. This is a kind of training to strengthen the physical fitness and combat effectiveness of junior officers and sergeants. Train the sergeant's will to make the whole army more united."

Wang Wenshao nodded involuntarily, thinking that what Ye Zhikui said was reasonable, but then he said angrily, "This is a good thing. You, the admiral of Zhili, can make the decision. Why do you still come to me?"

Ye Zhikui rolled his eyes and replied: "Master Governor, let's do some training. No matter how economical you are, you still need money and food. It's not easy to ask the Ministry of War for minor matters, so I have to find your Excellency's Zhili Governor's Mansion to solve it."

Wang Wenshao was so angry that his beard cocked up, and he drove Ye Zhikui out, cursing: "Well, you Ye Zhikui, you have robbed me. I want money here, and I will die."

Ye Zhikui walked out of the governor's mansion awkwardly, and went back to Lutai to discuss with the generals about the march and training. The reason why Ye Zhikui came to report to Wang Wenshao was not that he was really short of money, but that no matter what happened, you had to tell your superiors Otherwise, who would know if the higher-ups would secretly hate you because of your self-assertion!

Ye Zhikui stood in front, pointed to a map of Tianjin and said to the generals of the Wu Yi Army below, "Masters, this time my Wu Yi Army will be divided into five echelons for marching and training in sequence. Each echelon has 3000 people. After the echelon returns to the camp, the next echelon can start from the camp. The place for marching and training is from Lutai to the gate of the Dingwu Army barracks at the small station, and then camp at the small station for one night, and return to the camp the next day. Each person is limited to one day If you don’t have enough military rations, you have to solve it yourself. I don’t care if you do good deeds for the common people and let the common people reward you with a bite of food, or other methods. In a word, first, don’t steal, second, don’t rob, and third, don’t disturb the people. Listen Are you clear?"

All the generals replied in unison: "Understood!" Because horse riding is not allowed, there is a two-day distance from Lutai to Xiaozhan, and only one day's rations are taken, and the soldiers have to figure out their own way for another day.

Zhou Dingchen, the commander of the front wing, didn't understand why Ye Zhikui chose the training destination as a small station, so he asked the right wing Jiang Zikang, "Fu Qing, the final purpose of this march is a small station. Does Young Master Ye have any deep meaning?"

Jiang Zikang shook his head and replied: "Don't ask me, I can't see Ye Shao clearly since I fought in North Korea." Then he pointed to Jianren Shiwu and said: "This person knows Ye Shao's mind best!"

The two old guys gathered around Jianren Shiwu, and when Jianren Shiwu heard what he was coming for, he put his hands behind his back, tossed his hair, and said coquettishly: "It's not easy, why did you camp at the small station for one night, knowing Wu Did Dashan Wu Tong lead people into the Dingwu barracks?" Then, when I saw Ren, I looked around, lowered my head, and said softly: "The following is a gossip, and it has not been confirmed. Our Wu Yi Army patrolled because of Yuan Shikai's behind-the-scenes tricks. Do you think Ye Shao can swallow this breath? This is going to the Dingwu Army to demonstrate. When you are stationed at the small station, you'd better find a way to make you sick Give Yuan Shikai a look, and Young Master Ye will be happier."

The two old guys suddenly realized, and quickly thanked them. When I saw benevolence, I stretched out my hand and said, "You're welcome, thank you for your patronage, two coins." Zhou Dingchen and Jiang Zikang were stunned!

In the barracks of the Dingwu army at the small station, after several days of panic, Yuan Shikai finally made up his mind. When he saw dinner, he was about to go to eat, when suddenly a soldier came to report.

"It's not good, it's not good, Yuan Shuai! Wu Yi's army has blocked our gate." The soldier said out of breath.

Yuan Shikai didn't know why, why did Ye Zhikui's Wu Yi army come here?Not long after, Xu Shichang also received the information, and went to the gate of the camp together with Yuan Shikai.

I saw that the gate was crowded with soldiers watching the excitement. Seeing Yuan Shikai approaching, the soldiers stepped aside to form a passage. On the way out, the sergeant of the Dingwu Army wanted to pass unless he stepped on the head of the sergeant of the Wuyi Army.

Yuan Shikai was annoyed, and stepped forward to question, "Why are you Wu Yi's troops surrounding our gate?"

A familiar voice sounded, Yuan Shikai took a closer look, it was the commander who rushed into the camp arrogantly last time, and saw the commander said: "Our Wu Yi army is just here to ask for food, Mr. Yuan You won't be so stingy, will you?"

Begging?Does Wu Yijun still need to come to beg?Yuan Shikai looked at Wu Dashan's rough face, and really wanted to rush up and punch him twice.It's a pity that it's just a thought.

Xu Shichang was silent for a while, and said to Yuan Shikai: "Weiting, first do what they want! Let's see what other tricks they have."

Yuan Shikai had no choice but to ask the cook to prepare more food and bring it over. As soon as the food was delivered, the sergeants of Wu Yi's army began to swallow their saliva. Eat, if you don't grab it, you will be hungry tonight."

Wu Dashan took a big step and rushed towards the rice bucket frantically.The other sergeants were not slow to react, and rushed forward with howling wolves.Yuan Shikai had no time to retreat, so he was squeezed to the ground. When he got up again, he was stepped on several times. Seeing Wu Yijun's tide of grabbing food, he couldn't get angry. Said: Well, they really came to beg for food.

After eating and drinking enough, the sergeants of Wu Yi's army began to disperse one after another. Yuan Shikai looked from a distance and saw that Wu Yi's army had set up a temporary tent not far from his barracks.Confused about the situation, he saw that the matter had been resolved, so he went back.

I thought that not long after Yuan Shikai left, the soldiers of the Wuyi Army began to gather together in twos and threes. Whenever a sergeant of the Dingwu Army came out, he would stand in front of him and would not move. If a sergeant of the Dingwu Army asked what he was doing , Wu Yijun's answer is always "begging"!

The clever Dingwu army sergeant had no choice but to take out the silver on his body, trying to be quiet, but unexpectedly this trick was really effective, as long as the sergeant spent the silver, there were very few soldiers from the Wuyi army to come forward to harass him.The incident called "begging for food" but actually "extortion" spread among the small station Dingwu army.
