On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raised its head. The Qing court, which had been on a month-long holiday, officially opened its office. Early in the morning, there were gongs and drums and firecrackers. Emperor Guangxu Zai Tian came to the Eight Banners Training Base in Nanyuan, the capital, and cordially visited the vast number of officers and soldiers who insisted on the training task during the Spring Festival. The base leader Liu Shaoqing and others told the emperor that they would resolutely complete the training task, one was not afraid of hardship, two was not afraid of fatigue, and three was not afraid of sacrifice, and contributed their own strength to build the dream of a strong army of the Qing Dynasty. Afterwards, Emperor Guangxu reviewed the training results of the training camp and expressed satisfaction with the spirit of the army, encouraging everyone to continue their efforts and create more glory!

...

Haha, okay, the news above was fabricated by later generations, but on the day Long raised his head, Zai Tian really visited the Nanyuan training camp. On the one hand, he had said before that he would personally review Liu Shaoqing's training results, so he would not make any jokes; on the other hand, just treat it as relaxing.

During this period, Zai Tian was overwhelmed by the diplomatic incident between Britain and the United States. The angry Zai Tian urgently needed an opportunity to relieve his body and mind. At the same time, he really hoped that Liu Shaoqing's training plan would bring him some confidence. Otherwise, if he was bullied like this forever by foreigners, what's the point of treating him as an emperor?

Outside the suburbs of Yanjing, flags were waving. Inside the schoolyard, there were tigers and tigers. More than 700 soldiers in training camp were wearing neat jackets, holding bayonets and standing on the playground without saying a word. I don’t know how long I have been standing, like a group of sculptures. Even the green mountains in the distance and the green trees around me seemed to have quieted down, accompanying them forever...

Looking horizontally, it is a line, looking vertically, it is also a line, looking diagonally, it is still a line. Four brigades and sixty squads formed a neat formation, waiting for the review of the supreme leader of this old empire.

Before the square formation, there was a square platform made of wood. At this time, it was surrounded by bushes of silk and a golden piece of silk. Below the stage was a circle of imperial guards who were wearing yellow jackets and carrying waist knives, responsible for the safety of the emperor. Zai Tian, ​​surrounded by Prince Chun Yihuan, Prince Li Shiduo, Minister of War Wula Xichonga and Peng Yushen, and several Eight Banners of Manchu, slowly climbed to the platform with Liu Shaoqing.

After the emperor sat down in the center of the platform, Liu Shaoqing strode to the front of the platform and shouted, "Salute!"

‘Wow!’

Accompanied by a neat sound, more than 700 officers and soldiers quickly carried their guns, holding their guns with their right hands in front and their left hands in back, and the bayonet pointed diagonally forty-five degrees in front.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The cold light shines like the scorching sun; the sound shines like the world, and the thunder is like thunder!

In front of the emperor, except for Yihuan and Shiduo, the other ministers had seats, standing with their hands on both sides. They were so scared by the loud roar that they fought. One of them even had weak legs and feet, and they actually sat on the ground.

The team of more than 700 people shouted loudly, and the momentum was like seven thousand or seventy thousand. It was like a thunderbolt and was cold and unpredictable in everyone's ears, so why didn't people be afraid?

The bright bayonet pointed to the platform obliquely. Even if it was more than ten meters away, the evil spirit soared into the sky was still impressing. The old saying goes, "Spring beats six or nine heads." In the second month of the lunar calendar, there was no longer the cold wind of winter, but at this moment, the people on and off the platform seemed to fall into the ice cellar of the severe winter, and only felt the biting chill all over their bodies.

How could this kind of solemnity be imagined three months ago?

The guards in front of the imperial guards in the audience had seen such a formation. They had already been panicked, and they all drew their swords in their hands, shouting in a mess: "Protect the car! Protect the car!"

The panic of the guards further affected the stage. Some timid turned around and were about to run away, and some loyal guardians stopped the emperor in front of the emperor. As for the eunuchs beside Zai Tian, ​​they wanted to carry the emperor and run away.

Seeing that one good review was about to be messed up, I heard a voice that changed tone and shouted again: "The ceremony was over!"

‘Wow!’

Another neat sound, and in an instant, the biting chill that made people fall into an ice cave disappeared instantly. More than 700 rifles from the stage were re-adhered to the soldiers' sides. More than 700 officers and soldiers were still standing still on the school ground. Except for the undispersed heroic spirit on the soldiers' heads, it seemed that the scene just now had never appeared.

The crowd on and off the stage, who were already in a panic, then remembered where they were and what they were doing. They looked at each other for a moment.

"Ha ha……"

A long laugh broke the tranquility of death. Zai Tian clapped his hands and stood up and walked slowly to the front of the stage. "No, good, our army is mighty, I feel very comforted!"

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, the crowd who had been panicked before secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood back to their original position. At this time, there was no foolish enough to stand up to participate in the crime of "disturbing the Holy Deportation". I told you that today is here for the military parade, and you are still scared like this and have the face to participate in others. Isn't it embarrassing enough?

In fact, Liu Shaoqing was also worried. The sudden change just now made him almost kneel down. It was just a shout of long live. As for how scared he was so scared? Fortunately, he stopped it in time, otherwise the guards would really let the emperor take it away, can the military parade continue?

He looked carefully at Zai Tian's face. Seeing the emperor's encouraging eyes, Liu Shaoqing then stepped forward and bowed: "Please review the emperor!"

Zai Tian nodded, "Okay, let's start."

After saying this, the little emperor turned his back and returned to the dragon throne.

In fact, he was shocked just now, but at least he was still strong inside and did not get into the table at the first time. Otherwise, it would be reported that the emperor of a country was scared by his own army. Can the Qing Dynasty still be confused? As for the ugly behavior shown by the guards and officials just now, Zai Tian chose to ignore it. He knew the quality of his ministers. He might not succeed, but he would definitely be more likely to fail. Although he intended to train Liu Shaoqing to become a "lone minister", if these high-ranking officials and nobles really hated this little man to death, even if he was the emperor, he would probably not be able to protect him.

Therefore, Zai Tian not only could not show anger at the panic just now, but instead would like to praise and reward the "loyalty" of the guards and ministers, even if someone ran away faster than the emperor.

Because Liu Shaoqing's first reputation was a big shot, whether it was Zai Tian or the princes and ministers, he didn't care about the subsequent military parade performances. The training camp has shown their strength with facts. No matter how good they performed later, they are just powerful.

Several Manchu governors on the stage communicated silently with their eyes. The flying eyes contained fear, reluctance, hatred and envy. In the final analysis, they were still conveying a message, that is, should they still make the previous plan?

There are not many people in the capital, but there are quite a few officials. Let’s talk about the Eight Banners. In addition to the eight generals in the Dutong Yamen, there are eight generals in the Guards, the Cavs, the Forwards, the Infantry Camp, the Shenji Camp, the Jianrui Camp, the Firearm, the Hu Gun Camp, and the ‘Langwei’ Eight Battalions’ each have eight Manchurian generals, corresponding to the Eight Banners. If they are all gathered, they probably won’t be able to stand at the stage. Today, the few people who are ordered to accompany Nanyuan are actually carrying another task on their backs and carrying the entrustment of dozens of other Eight Banners.

They planned to suddenly attack when the emperor was inspecting the training camp, and to give Liu Shaoqing a cruel thing, kill this little Nan barbarian who dared to provoke the majesty of the Eight Banners and then step on ten thousand feet, so that he would never turn over.

However, Liu Shaoqing's predecessor made several representatives hesitate. The training camp seemed to be really strong. Can the previous plan of his waiter be realized smoothly? Don't pretend to be yourself again, but instead, it will once again achieve the reputation of this little man.

However, if this matter was arranged by a few of them, maybe it would be possible to give up at this time, but dozens of people discussed this matter together. If they can let them say no, they will stop doing it?

With the rapid transmission of eyes, the few people finally made up their minds. The ZLQ Manchu governor Gui Xiang came out and said, "If you start the report to the emperor, you will have something to say."

Zai Tian looked at Gui Xiang and guessed what he was going to say in his heart, but he wouldn't stop him, "Your dear, but it's okay to say it."

Gui Xiang said: "The training camp is in a neat and has a high morale. It can be seen that Mr. Liu can train a majestic and powerful army in just three months. However, I think that the power of the army should be in the battle formation and fight on the battlefield, rather than as a guard of etiquette. Just looking at it like this may not necessarily show Mr. Liu's real talent and knowledge. Therefore, I think that it is better to follow the old examples a few months ago and have another competition, so that Mr. Liu can fully demonstrate the achievements of the past three months."

After hearing Gui Xiang's words, Zai Tian smiled in his heart and thought to himself that, sure enough, these people could not sit still. Gui Xiang's words meant that the soldiers Liu Shaoqing trained were nothing more than that, but they did not have the real material to kill the enemy. They belonged to the "silver-like gun tip" and could only be used as a ceremonial guard. Even these looks were specially trained for the emperor to see.

"I think this shouldn't be possible. Just now, my dear friends should have seen it. These soldiers are quite well organized in the exercises of the separate confrontation."

Gui Xiang was a little stunned. Why, did you have a confrontation drill just now?

In fact, Liu Shaoqing had long considered that the emperor might not recognize his training results just by relying on the military cleansing team that he saw on the surface. Therefore, after the queue display, he also specially arranged assassination fighting drills and bare-hand fighting drills. However, Gui Xiang and others were immersed in their own world, only focusing on communicating their eyes, and not looking carefully.

In fact, if they carefully looked at the assassination and barehand fighting drills in the training camp, even if they explained the trouble after going back, they would never jump out and cause trouble at this time, but, no, but.

Gongsang Nolbu is the Manchurian governor of the White Banner of the Knights. At this time, he hurried forward to support Gui Xiang and said, "Your Majesty, although this performance is good, it is better to have real swords and guns. As for the slaves, instead of letting the training camp arrange to capture the opponents and fight, it is better to draw soldiers from the battalions in the capital to compete. This will not only train the team, but also allow other battalions to see the gaps and lay a solid foundation for the training camp in the future. I wonder if it is possible?"

"this……"
