After Nie Shicheng left, Ye Zhikui returned to the Lutai military camp soon. Looking at the simple barracks, he thought that Nie Shicheng trained the famous Wuyi Army here. The Wuyi Army was later changed to the front army of the Wuwei Army. During the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, he fought to the death as the only main force that the Qing Dynasty could rely on. In the end, even the commander of the first army, Nie Shicheng, sacrificed his life for the country. The Wuyi Army, which was accumulated entirely by Nie Shicheng's personality charm, collapsed and was dismissed. The political end was dirty.

On the contrary, it was not that Ye Zhikui looked down on the new army that Yuan Shikai practiced at the small station at that time, but that the new army he practiced was really not qualified compared to the Wuyi army. Whether it was weapons, equipment, military strength, combat power, and inheritance, they were not as good as the Wuyi army. Therefore, the Wuyi army was changed to the Wuwei Front Army, and Yuan Shikai's new army was changed to the Wuwei Right Army. Unfortunately, the front, rear, left and central army troops trained in the Qing Dynasty after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 were all resisting the Eight Kingdoms.

The team was defeated, and only Yuan Shikai hid in Shandong and refused to go to Beijing to resist foreigners, which made no tiger in the mountains behind the Xin Chou Treaty, and monkeys dominated the king. Let me ask, the Beiyang New Army trained by Yuan Shikai had resisted the invasion of outsiders several times, but they just rushed around their own homes and eventually consumed it in the civil war. Compared to Nie Shicheng, who bravely resisted and died heroically, Yuan Shikai was not considered a single Mao in Ye Zhikui's heart.

Ye Zhikui was so excited when he thought that he was about to become the commander of this army. He secretly vowed that he would not let Wu Yi's army in the future. In this life, he would lead this army to make great achievements and his reputation became even greater than before.

After returning to the camp, Ye Zhikui ordered his personal soldiers to summon the generals to discuss the training.

When the generals received the news, they arrived soon after. Ye Zhikui sat in the upper head. At a glance, they saw that there were many talents below, and the old and new were alternating. Among them, there were those who were left for Ye Zhikui to follow Nie Shicheng: such as Zhou Dingchen, Hu Dianjia, Yang Mushi, Yao Liangcai, Feng Yihe, Xing Changchun and others. According to the original history, a considerable number of these people died in battle when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China.

There are old men under Ye Zhikui, the Yuanhu brave army: Ru Bao Bian, Song Pinglan, Wu Dashan, Jiang Zikang, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, Wen Baishan, Minori Shiwu, Butcher, etc.

There are newly recruited graduates from the Martial Arts School: such as Duan Qirui, Li Chun, Wang Yingkai, Chen Guangyuan, Bao Guiqing, He Zonglian, etc. The most are.

There are talents recommended by Li Hongzhang and others: such as Ruan Zhongshu, Wang Huaiqing, Yan Dunyuan, etc.

There were also several German foreign instructors such as Cook.

As the admiral of Zhili, Ye Zhikui not only trained the new army, but also trained the various armies of Zhili Huai. On the one hand, he had already ordered the selection of elite soldiers from the Huai army to come to Lutai. On the other hand, he continued to recruit a group of new soldiers from Dagu and other places, and finally merged with the Tiger and Brave Army. It is expected that a total of 30 battalions of troops would be collected, and the officers and soldiers were about 17,000, and the eldest husband was about 4,000, and a total of about 20,000 people would be compiled into the Wuyi Army.

Ye Zhikui stood in front, looking at the crowds below, and couldn't help but feel full of his ambitions and said passionately: "Everyone, we all come from all over the world. Among you are my old subordinates, Ye Zhikui, and some new members of our army. But now we stand here, there is only one name, that is, Wuyi Army; for one purpose: that is, to use our essence and blood to build the elite of the Qing Dynasty, set a precedent in history, and create a army that can be compared with foreigners.

A new army comparable to that. Everyone! We are all pioneers, we have no experience to borrow. Foreigners outside laughed at him and said that China would never be able to train a new army. But I, Ye Zhikui, do not believe in evil. Even if the road ahead is vague and the middle is bumpy, as Chinese children, we should be determined to break through the thorns and move forward bravely, and never give up. We will train an elite army for today's China! We can compete with the great powers!"

All the generals were infected by Ye Zhikui's words. No matter what their purpose was for coming here before, they were now empathetic and empathetic as Chinese people. Thinking that China has been invaded and oppressed by the great powers since the Opium War, they were excited and full of energy, and full of hope for their ability to enter this army.

Ye Zhikui paused, took out the official documents, and continued: "This time, our Wuyi Army was equipped with the latest German infantry division, including the headquarters, infantry, artillery team, horse team, engineering team. The headquarters was under the headquarters, the Battalion Affairs Office, the Teaching Office (with the attached camp, artillery, horse school), the Food and Pay Bureau, the Ordnance Bureau, the Military Medical Bureau, the Transport Bureau, and the Detective Bureau."

Everyone lowered their breath and knew that the following was about their appointment, so they were not careless.

Ye Zhikui continued to recite: "The team was divided into four wings (brigades), including Zhou Dingchen, Hu Dianjia, Yang Mushi, and Jiang Zikang as the wing chief." The four old guys nodded with laughter when they heard this and continued to listen.

"There are two-point unit (regiment) per wing, and two battalions of each wing (the battalion here is different from the previous article. Each battalion is divided into four teams (companies), each team has three posts (rows), each team has six sheds (squads), and about one thousand one hundred people); the artillery, horse team, and engineering team have one-point unit, and the artillery team is all led by Feng Guozhang, the horse team is all led by Xing Changchun, and the engineering team is all led by Wang Shizhen. I will post other lists to each person later. I hope you will work hard with me and disband at this moment."

After Ye Zhikui said that, Shiwu left with him. After Ye Zhikui left, everyone began to discuss and guessed that he had taken any position. In a short while, everyone was appointed. Duan Qirui was appointed as the left wing of the infantry team, and many other martial arts graduates served as team officials, whistle officials or teaching positions. Because the talents recommended by Li Hongzhang were all civil officials, most of them worked at the headquarters. Ye Zhikui's original direct line was mostly battalion officials and commanders, which was considered to be a high position and powerful position. For a moment, everyone was full of smiles and congratulated each other happily.

Ye Zhikui led Shigou to his tent and asked, "Is there no news about Cao Kun?" Ye Zhikui also valued Cao Kun. Historically, this man was a little greedy, but he was loyal. In the end, he was considered a big fame and would rather drink porridge than be a traitor. He used people to embrace all rivers and other people's strengths, so Ye Zhikui ordered Shigoui to include him on the list of key searches.

Deepin Shige said with a bitter face: "Young Master Ye, this villain Cao Kun only found out that he had entered North Korea for a sentry officer for the Yi army. After Yi army returned to China, some of the troops were dismissed, and Cao Kun was among them, and then his whereabouts were unknown."

Ye Zhikui could only sigh when he heard this.

At this time, Cao Kun, who Ye Zhikui was reluctant to ask for, returned to his hometown, Dagu, Tianjin, and took out the carrots he bought from Miyan Shigo as Korean ginseng and sold them everywhere, but was recognized by the drug dealer. Cao Kun found out that he was deceived and wanted to cry without tears. Fortunately, his wife was gentle and considerate and listened to him telling the reason for the matter. He also heard that he met Ye Zhikui when he was in North Korea, and he advised: "The head of the family is not the reason for doing business. If I ask me to tell you, you should go and join Lord Ye. Lord Ye is now practicing a new army in Lutai, and it is time for urgent needs of manpower. After all, others still appreciate you very much when they are in North Korea."

Cao Kun stammered and blew his head a little, and said in his heart: I know Mr. Ye, but I don’t know if Mr. Ye still recognizes me. Then he thought, no matter how much he cares about him, it’s still a way, and he will go tomorrow.

After discussing with his wife, the wife agreed happily, and thought for a while and said, "There are two old hens in the family. You will catch them tomorrow and send them to Lord Ye. You have to give gifts to ask for help." Cao Kun thought that he had just returned home and went out again, so he couldn't help but hug his wife. The couple hummed all night. The next day, Cao Kun held his two old hens with his eyes, twisted the two old hens and headed straight to Lutai.

Ye Zhikui was talking to Shigou here, and a soldier came to report that at the gate of Dayan Camp, a former acquaintance of the Korean army came to surrender. Ye Zhikui thought to himself: When the old acquaintance of the Korean army, he would have to meet him, so he ordered the soldiers to lead him in.

Before he could enter the door, he heard the hens clamoring from a distance. Soon he saw a man in his thirties twisting two old hens and walking in. Ye Zhikui had to hold back his smile.

When Shigo looked familiar, he suddenly remembered this person. He quickly looked around and pretended not to know him. Ye Zhikui had no impression. How could he see clearly through the fire that day? Cao Kun threw the old hen on the ground and said, "Young Master Ye, can you still know your subordinates?"

Ye Zhikui stood up and asked, "What are you?"

Cao Kun replied: "On the day, Mr. Ye praised his subordinates in North Korea, and dared not forget each other. He came to like each other today."

Ye Zhikui said oh and replied in surprise: "It's you, what do you call that!" Ye Zhikui had long forgotten about this, but he was afraid that everyone would be embarrassed, so he had to pretend to remember.

Cao Kun replied: "Cao Kun's name is Zhongshan. On the eve of the Battle of Bailong Valley that day, he was a sergeant of Yi Army and had to meet Ye Shao."

After Cao Kun said this, Ye Zhikui really remembered it. Wait, what is his name? Ye Zhikui asked excitedly: "Are you Cao Kun?"

Cao Kun replied seriously: "I am the one who is right, I'm just going to change it!"
