Ye Zhikui's robbery in Seoul shocked China and Japan. Japanese Minister to North Korea Keisuke Oshima then issued a statement accusing that Ye Zhikui, the general of Taiyuan Town of the Qing Dynasty, ignored the tendency of peace talks between the two countries and deliberately provoked the Japanese troops stationed in Korea, conspiring to cause disputes between the two countries and triggered war again, requiring the Qing government to severely punish Ye Zhikui and return the robbed property. Of course, Japan did not specify the number of property robbed, because this batch of property was also obtained through unknown sources.

Because Ye Zhikui handed over a batch of property, Ye Zhichao made a lot of money, and the Qing government made no effort to protect Ye Zhikui. Li Hongzhang responded that although China and Japan had a tendency to negotiate, they had not signed any armistice agreements until now. Therefore, it was reasonable for Ye Zhikui to attack Seoul and there was no mistake. He just scolded him for sending troops to rob and rob. He could not tell me when he made a fortune in the future? I also wanted to make a fortune!

At that time, a British reporter in Pyongyang interviewed Ye Zhikui and asked Ye Zhikui about his opinion on this matter. Ye Zhikui said calmly: "If there is any dissatisfaction in the Japanese side, you can come to Pyongyang to rob me." Everyone was silent, and the Japanese had nothing to say.

Ye Zhikui, who was at the center of the storm, ignored these things and trained his brave tiger army in order according to the new military military scriptures. Everything else in Ye Zhikui's mind was a cloud of clouds, and only military power was the king.

……………………

"This is your new teacher! Wang Shizhen, Wang Pinqing." Ye Zhikui led Wang Shizhen to introduce to the soldiers of the artillery whistle in the Tiger Warrior Army.

Wang Shizhen was helpless and speechless. Ye Zhikui did not ask for artillery shells that day, but instead asked him to come. Originally, Wang Shizhen was a little reluctant to be transferred to the Tiger Warrior Army by Ye Zhikui, but when Ye Zhikui discussed some of the ballistics he learned in Germany and later generations, he used basic disciplines such as geometry and arithmetic to show the application of artillery technology in front of Wang Shizhen, which made Wang Shizhen deeply impressed.

Wang Shizhen graduated from the artillery department of Tianjin Martial Arts School. The instructor was a German officer, while Ye Zhikui directly studied in Germany. The two of them were of course "like-smelling". Wang Shizhen saw that Ye Zhikui attached great importance to the artillery team in the army and concentrated it into a sentry. Finally, he willingly agreed to Ye Zhikui come to the artillery post of the Tiger Brave Army as a teacher.

Ye Zhikui's appointment was just over, and everyone was not convinced. They all discussed that the artillery of the Tiger Brave Army had a sense of arrogance. During the Sino-Japanese War, they made great contributions among the Qing army. They considered themselves the most powerful artillery team in the Qing army. They still admired this teacher who was not as outstanding as himself in the Korean battlefield.

The wardrobe Zhao Ergou said bluntly: "Sir, this Wang Zhi has no meat all over his body. Can he be the teacher of our artillery whistle? The artillery whistle of our Tiger Brave Army requires real talent and knowledge, and it is not other sentries that can scramble to scramble."

Ye Zhikui didn't reply, and went to the side and handed the problem to Wang Shizhen to solve it. He wanted to see how Wang Shizhen, who was called the Beiyang Dragon, dealt with it.

Wang Shizhen was straightforward and said nothing else. He walked to the cannons produced by Rupp Steel Factory, and explained the various structural components and functions of the cannon one by one in front of everyone, and then pointed out some of the minor problems of some of the cannons, and corrected them one by one.

Seeing that everyone was listening with relish and slowly being impressed by others, Zhao Ergou couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "It's just a nerd. The ultimate goal of the cannon is to hit the target. What's the use of knowing these structural components?"

Wang Shizhen smiled slightly, and did not refute the short black artillery whistleman, but said, "Since that's the case, whistleman Zhao dares to compete with me. We choose a target and try three shots in a row to see who hits the target more and closer in the end."

Zhao Ergou agreed, and Ye Zhikui was happy to see him. After ordering to find two cannons that were almost the same, Zhao Ergou came first. He squinted his eyes and glanced for a while, and ordered the artillery to fire three cannons as he asked. After three shots, one of them hit the target, and the other two shots were not very far from the target. Obviously, this result was quite good. Zhao Ergou looked at Wang Shizhen proudly.

Wang Shizhen ignored him, estimated the distance of the target, lowered his head, and straightened the ground. After a while, he looked up and ordered the artillery to adjust the angle according to his requirements. Zhao Ergou stood aside and didn't care. He wanted to hit the target after writing and drawing for a few strokes. It was not that easy to dream.

Wang Shizhen hit the target with three guns, and two guns hit the target, and the other gun was very close to the target. Wang Shizhen's move immediately shocked many officers and soldiers at the artillery whistle. Zhao Ergou was still dissatisfied and shouted that it was luck.

Ye Zhikui glared at him fiercely, walked up to him and said, "Now you guys know that there are mountains outside the mountain and there are people outside. Don't think that I am the best in the world just because I killed a few Japanese. I will study hard for me in the future. Master Wang graduated from Tianjin Martial Arts School and is very capable, especially you, Zhao Ergou. Don't be dissatisfied. When will you learn Master Wang's trick come to see me again."

Wang Shizhen gradually won the respect of artillery sergeants with his real talent and knowledge, and Ye Zhikui was even more courteous to him. Later, in order to repay Ye Zhikui's favor fortifications, Wang Shizhen wrote a letter to suggest that Ye Zhikui set up an engineering battalion in the brave army. The main task was to implement engineering reconnaissance, build important fortifications, build, set up and remove obstacles, carry out destruction operations, build roads, build bridges, open ferry sites, set up various mines, drought mines, and trampling mines, etc. He also proposed to cultivate soldiers' absolute obedience and loyalty consciousness, so that they believed that Ye Zhikui was their parents of food and clothing. Only by obeying him can they be promoted and made money. After seeing it, Ye Zhikui adopted them one by one and regarded him as his right-hand man.

As time entered early October, Japan lost consecutive battles on the Korean battlefield and limited national strength, the huge consumption brought by the war increased the burden on ordinary Japanese people, resulting in peasant riots in many parts of Japan and social unrest. Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito clearly put forward a request for peace talks to the Qing government on October 10, and the Qing Dynasty also appointed Li Hongzhang as the plenipotentiary representative. The two sides agreed to hold peace talks in Pyongyang, North Korea.

Li Hongzhang is about to enter North Korea soon. North Korean President Ye Zhichao ordered all troops to prepare and assist the Zhongtang Lord. Ye Zhikui was promoted by Li Hongzhang as a person in his own peace talks because of his military achievements and participated in the peace talks.

Before Li Hongzhang entered the court, after Ye Zhikui received a peasant uprising in Japan, he secretly ordered Mitoshi Shigo to select more than 30 surrendered Japanese troops and several Thirteen Eagles, carrying a large amount of property and taking merchant ships to Japan to guide the Japanese peasant uprising. Ye Zhikui did not seek success, but only wanted to give Japan some eye drops.

Before leaving, the Japanese surrendered soldiers had already written letters of surrender against insulting and cursing the emperor. Once they returned to Japan and wanted to repent, Ye Zhikui would make these letters public and say that they carried huge amounts of property. I believe that even if the Japanese government did not give up for face and only for the treasures in the hands of these people, they would not let them go. Therefore, Ye Zhikui believed in their "loyalty".

On the other hand, Ye Zhikui asked Minari Ren Shigo to select a few clever guys to buy a batch of medicinal materials in North Korea and go to Japan in the name of drug dealers to open a pharmacy to prepare for future drug trafficking. Hai Luo was used as a powerful painkiller because it was invented.

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, openly launch a drug production company, and then sell these drugs openly in the form of drugs all over the world. Of course, Japan is the best place to choose.

Although Queen Min didn't know why Ye Zhikui attached importance to such a "small business", it did not hinder her support for Ye Zhikui. With the collusion between officials and businessmen, the pharmaceutical factory's preliminary preparations were carried out very quickly and smoothly. The problems of location selection, building houses, and staff were quickly solved. Ye Zhikui certainly would not wait for the arrival of the machine. He also sold the sheep's head and ordered the factory to produce some common medicines first.
