At this moment, Wang Ermazi knelt on the ground and couldn't even raise his head. Those people left one by one, but he still didn't stand up. His head could not be raised, and he could never stand up again. My mother was sick and needed money to get medicine and had to eat enough to maintain her body. My mother was old and could no longer work as hard as before and needed a rest. My mother was so hard that she worked hard all her life and couldn't even eat a bun.

But I am useless, I can't even choose a soldier, and I can't be deceived. Not only that, I also owed someone a dump of money! How can I pay it back?

Do you still have the face to live?

"May I have your name?"

A hoarse voice mixed with sharp voice sounded in his ears, and someone asked around him.

Wang Ermazi subconsciously raised his head and saw a dark and thin face. Then, what caught his eye was a half-old boy and a few guards behind him.

Wang Ermazi didn't know anything about Ting Dai and Buzi, but judging from the young man's posture, I also knew that it was not the Daguaner and the Daguaner's son. So he subconsciously replied: "I don't have a name, because I have a Daguaner on my face, so people call me Wang Ermazi."

Liu Shaoqing smiled, "He really looks like a macaque."

Although the noble young man was laughing, Wang Ermazi did not see the kind of contempt and contempt he usually saw in his clear eyes, but was really just laughing simply.

For some reason, at this moment, Wang Ermazi knew that he had met a noble person and was blessed.

Liu Shaoqing looked at the ugly man in front of him and nodded, "Men don't cry easily, but they are not sad. You are willing to give up the gold under your knees and kneel down, and you still cry. It seems that there is really a problem. I will give you a chance."

He said that, waved his hand, and immediately, someone brought a large basin of food behind him.

Liu Shaoqing pointed to the meal and said, "It's just a little cold, don't dislike it. Have a full meal first."

With the instructions of the young master, the Qing soldiers behind him immediately handed over a large basin of food. Seeing that Wang Ermazi was still stunned, they simply stuffed it directly into his hand.

Wang Ermazi held the rice bowl and looked at the white rice inside, tears fell down without any effort.

Liu Shaoqing frowned and said, "Okay, don't stop endlessly. A big man. We have suffered hardships before, and may not be much better than you." As he said, he pointed to one of them, "He was starved to death."

"A man must have backbone, have hands and feet, and have the strength to do it. Where can I go in the world? It's worth paying off the golden beans. Let me tell you first, this meal is not in vain. After you finish it, you will double the amount of training you will be trained by those people. If you can't finish it, I'll drive you out!"

After saying that, Liu Shaoqing seemed a little impatient, waved his hand and turned around and left, but Wang Ermazi was still stunned.

At this time, a man with a gun came over and kicked him, "What are you looking at? Why don't you eat soon? You still need to train after you finish eating. You didn't hear the young master say that your amount will be doubled. I guess you have practiced today."

Wang Ermazi stretched his neck and swallowed, "What does this mean, this official?"

The soldier rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean? Our young master was moved by you and you were admitted. But the ugly thing is that before, if you can't complete the training today, no one can help you."

Wang Ermazi suddenly felt that the whole sky was clear and grinned, "Hey! Master, don't worry, we can't embarrass you!"

After saying that, he started eating with a big mouthful of rice bowl. After a few bites, he suddenly thought of something: "Official, if I stay here, what... training, what will my mother do?"

The soldier frowned, "You have no one else at home? You have no relatives or friends? How old is your mother? Can't take care of herself?"

Wang Ermazi said: "Our family escaped from famine and has no relatives here. The family is poor and can't afford to eat. My mother is sick again and no one takes care of her..." As she said that, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry again.

The gun-carrying man was disbelief and quickly interrupted him: "Okay, okay, I will report your situation to the superiors. Please tell me the address, and the young master will arrange someone to take care of your mother."

When Wang Ermazi heard that he was willing to take care of his wine, he immediately put the rice bowl aside, got up and kowtowed three times at the soldier, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Master Guan!"

The soldier was so scared that he hurriedly avoided, "Don't thank me, I'm just a message, our young master has the final say!"

Wang Ermazi immediately turned around and kowtowed three times in the direction where Liu Shaoqing left just now, "Thank you, Mr. Mr.! Thank you, Mr. Mr.! You are the benefactor of our whole family! As long as you can take good care of my mother, my Wang Ermazi's life will be sold to you."

The soldier next to him curled his lips and muttered softly: "He is a filial son."

The Beijing camp training officially started, and Liu Shaoqing also needed to go to the palace to report to Emperor Guangxu on the first day.

"I already know the general situation. I heard that there are only more than 800 people?" Guangxu's information source must not only depend on Liu Shaoqing, but at least that Eunuch Gui had reported the situation of the training camp as soon as possible.

Liu Shaoqing paused and said, "Return to the emperor, there are 837 people. This is the list."

Guangxu waved his hand and said that a young eunuch had come forward to take the roster from Liu Shaoqing and then handed it over to Guangxu.

Zai Tian took it and took a look at it roughly, then handed it to the eunuch around him, "If you continue to explain, from now on, except for these more than 800 people, all other people in Shenji Camp will be suspended from paying their salaries until the next training selection."

“How…”

Then he turned to Liu Shaoqing, "When will these first batch of soldiers trained well?"

Liu Shaoqing said: "It will take at least three months to initially possess the basic qualities of soldiers. It will take half a year to meet the requirements of a soldier. This is a judgment made by me through the German infantry exercises given by the emperor and combined with the current situation of soldiers we have seen."

Zai Tian nodded, "Then, in three months, I will test your training results."

Liu Shaoqing hurriedly said, "I obey the order!"

"Okay," after saying this, Zai Tian changed the topic, "I asked you to come this time, not for the training of the Beijing camp." As he said, Zai Tian pointed to the other people in the hall.

"Ronglu, Yinchang and Zhou Chuanxiu. You should have seen the three of them, right?"

Ronglu, Liu Shaoqing and others immediately said: "Yes, I am already familiar with it."

Zai Tian nodded and said, "That's good. You will work together in the future and have a good relationship. In addition, the martial arts school is about to start. How have I asked you to prepare before?"

Ronglu stepped forward and walked forward: "After returning to the emperor, according to the emperor's request, after discussing, the curriculum of the martial arts school was planned to be divided into two subjects. The subjects mainly teach classics, history, astronomy, geography, and new studies of surveying, mapping, mathematics, chemistry, etc., and the Imperial College professor plus some talents who have returned from overseas were taught, with a total of nine people. Academic affairs supervisor was appointed, and Cui Fu, the Imperial College supervisor was appointed. The art department taught horses, archers, artillery team exercises, guns and cannon skills and camp engineering, etc.; it was mainly taught by German instructors, and there was also a supervisor, and Liu Shaoqing and Lord Liu."

Zai Tian asked again: "Have the German instructors been in place?"

"Return to the emperor, the German instructors have come to Beijing a few days ago. The main instructors are Simit, Ed, Chicafen, Frank and others."

Zai Tian asked again: "Are they satisfied with food, clothing, housing, transportation and salary?"

The answer to Zhou Chuanjing at this meeting was "Reply to the emperor, foreign teachers will eat and live in the school in the future. As for the salary, no one of the four foreign teachers will be 300 to 350 taels per month. In addition, Lord Rong's monthly salary is 120 taels, Lord Yin's monthly salary is 100 taels, Lord Liu, Lord Cui and Weichen's monthly salary is 80 taels, and other teachers' monthly salary ranges from 40 to 60 taels per person."

Zai Tian nodded and said, "We can't save this money. Also, although the salary we give to foreigners is higher now, there is no way to do it. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Our Qing Dynasty has never done this before, so we can only find some foreigners first. When we master this knowledge ourselves and understand it thoroughly, we can naturally get rid of them."

After saying this, he said to Liu Shaoqing: "This is why I will show you the German infantry sect in advance."

Liu Shaoqing hurriedly said, "I understand. I have written some experiences in the past few days and specially presented them to the emperor for reading." As he said that, he took out a thick copy from his arms and presented them with both hands.

Immediately, the eunuch came forward and took it to Zai Tian. Zai Tian took it in his hand and took a brief look, and said casually: "Tell me briefly first, and then take a closer look after the details."

"Waaa." Liu Shaoqing then sorted out his thoughts and said: "My ministers are not very familiar with the cavalry and have not made any adjustments; in terms of artillery and engineering, our Qing Dynasty is almost blank, so it is better to strictly implement the requirements of the Germans, and it is better to study. Only the bachelors, but the ministers have added some things."

"On the one hand, for basic training of soldiers, I have asked Huang Shihai and other in-house martial arts teachers to design a set of bayonet fighting skills, and at the same time designed a single-handed fighting move. My Chinese martial arts are profound and profound, which is incomparable to the West. Therefore, I hope to add this aspect to the training."

After hearing this, Zai Tian thought for a while and said, "You are the academic affairs supervisor of the art department. Since you said you should add it, then add it. I will arrange for Huang Shihai and others to report to you later. Just go back and make arrangements for them according to the monthly salary of the teaching staff."

Liu Shaoqing and Zhou Chuanjing nodded quickly and said that.

"In addition, there are two more major adjustments. One is the infantry defense formation. I feel that what the German army said in the calligraphy of the German army is too simple. I divided infantry defense into three different environments: wilderness, jungle, and town, and formulated different tactical methods. The other is attack. Now, whether Germany or France, they use array infantry attack methods - of course, the same is the defense. I think this may be a common combat method for the Thais. However, in the process of fighting with the French, I found that this combat method is very high, especially for an army like the Qing Dynasty, which is not good at using firearms and has weaker equipment levels than those of the powerful. Therefore, I changed the combat method to a scattered line attack, and designed some tactics according to different environments."

Zai Tian didn't know much about this. After all, he was too far from the real battlefield. So he asked: "As far as I know, the infantry ritual you see now was modified and improved after defeating the French. The Germans could use this to completely defeat France, so that what was written in this ritual is effective and can train elite soldiers. You have made major changes now, are you sure?"

Zai Tian had to worry. He didn't want to invest his energy, time and a lot of money, and what he learned in the end were some wine bags that were about to collapse.

In Liu Shaoqing's opinion, this is not just the emperor's protection for himself.

Chinese people do things, especially in courts like the Qing court, "do more mistakes, do less mistakes, do less mistakes, do not do well" is definitely a famous saying. If Liu Shaoqing teaches the German infantry practice step by step according to the German army's infantry practice scriptures, even if something goes wrong in the future, it can be said that the foreign devils did the tricks and did not teach us the real thing. But if they act according to the modified version of Liu Shaoqing, if something goes wrong in the future, no matter what the problem is, the final blame will be Liu Shaoqing.

Liu Shaoqing pondered for a while before he said firmly: "Emperor, some of the tactics compiled by Weichen were actually used in Tonkin and had a very good effect. Therefore, Weichen is confident that as long as our training and equipment can keep up, Weichen can guarantee that there will be no unbeaten enemies on this land that I, the Qing Dynasty, will be!"

"good!"

On land, there is no unbeaten enemy of the Qing Dynasty! It’s just what? This is the most powerful army in the world!

Guangxu Longyan was very happy and pointed at Liu Shaoqing and said, "The reason why I promoted you was extraordinary is that I saw the spirit in you. How can I not have any spirit when I was in a war? You are very good, and I am not afraid of taking responsibility, and I feel very comforted."

Then he said to several others: "The same is true for you, don't be afraid of taking responsibility. Only when you are not afraid of taking responsibility can I dare to give you more responsibilities."
