Chapter 52 Yuan Shikai is really depressed

In the capital, Xu Shichang's mansion came to the gate, Yuan Shikai ran all the way, and even shouted in his heart: Damn, after being a supporting role for so long, it was finally my turn to take the stage today.

Xu Shichang happened to be practicing calligraphy at home. Before he saw him, he heard Yuan Shikai's loud voice, "Brother, you're so happy! You're so happy!" The voice did not hide the excitement inside.

Xu Shichang smiled and watched Yuan Shikai step into the door quickly. He felt something in his heart, and said, "Weiting, but is there any explanation for the training of troops?"

Yuan Shikai stepped forward and grabbed Xu Shichang's hands, smiled and said, "Brother is indeed a magical idea. After using my two strategies, it finally worked today. The Military Affairs Office has issued a document and asked me to go to Tianjin Station to replace Lord Hu to train the Dingwu Army."

Xu Shichang was also happy for him and said, "Weiting's wishes for the ten dynasties will finally get what we want today, and we will not be drunk tonight."

Yuan Shikai smiled and invited, "Weiting will go to Tianjin soon. I don't know that my elder brother can create the foundation with Weiting to contribute to the new army of the Qing Dynasty. My younger brother is really the chief executive of the Army's Central Camp Affairs Office."

Xu Shichang raised his hand and agreed without hesitation: "I have been a seventh-rank Xiaojing official for my brother for a long time, so what if I follow Weiting to join the army?" Yuan Shikai was overjoyed, and the two of them got drunk that night.

On the other hand, Xu Shichang went to the court to change his post and followed Yuan Shikai. Before leaving Beijing, Yuan Shikai thought that his team was not strong, so he looked around, hoping to find one or two horses of thousands of miles.

At Yinchang Mansion, Yuan Shikai walked out with anger. Xu Shichang stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Lord Yin should have some talent recommendations."

Yuan Shikai couldn't help but swear, and replied: "Ye Zhikui is really hateful. It's okay if there is no one in the middle hall. I didn't expect that he could even dig out all the students in the unprepared school and didn't leave one for me. It's really annoying."

There was no choice but Yuan Shikai had to use his old uncle's relationship with his relationship in North Korea. He finally gathered his staff and led them and more than a dozen military generals to Tianjin.

At Tianjin Station, after Yuan Shikai and Hu Yifan handed over, he thought that he would have a soldier in his hand in the future, and could not suppress his excitement. He immediately ordered the whole army to gather. However, when he saw the soldiers standing on the playground with no discipline, Yuan Shikai was angry again. What kind of soldiers are these? Even the soldiers he trained in North Korea were stronger than these. In fact, we can't blame these soldiers. First, they were indeed newly recruited, second, Hu Yifan was a bureaucrat after all, and he was not familiar with military affairs. Third, the elite soldiers at the Station had been plundered by Ye Zhikui, and even the German instructors inside had been plundered.

After understanding the situation, Yuan Shikai was very sad and angry. He cursed Ye Zhikui for nineteen or eight times in his heart. He had no choice but to submit a request to recruit another soldiers to reach a 7,000 ranks. The court agreed.

In the capital, Kang Youwei hurriedly entered Xu Zhijing's mansion again. Kang Youwei, who had just passed the Jinshi in the 1895 year, was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Works, such a sixth-rank small official, who was too small, would not be summoned by the emperor unless it was a special case. Therefore, he even submitted memorials in the name of Xu Zhijing, a scholar. Therefore, he went to Xu's mansion to inquire about the situation repeatedly.

As soon as Kang Youwei entered the room, he couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Zijing, the emperor has something to say."

Xu Zhijing asked Kang Youwei to rest as he was a little restless, and then replied slowly: "The emperor said that he had handed the memorial of reform and reform to the empress dowager to read, and the empress dowager had no right opinions."

The madman Kang Youwei immediately said surprise: "It seems that the time is ripe, and the success period is not far away. Brother Zijing, I have something that can add fuel to the fire and promote the emperor's reform and reform."

Xu Zhijing opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "Why can it have such an effect?"

Kang Youwei gritted his teeth and said, "I received a news that there were a few French soldiers in the Tianjin Concession not long ago. One day, I wandered into a temple of Confucius. These French soldiers actually destroyed the statue of the saint. The saint's eyes were poked two big holes, and one of the saints' arm was also broken. This is simply an insult to the foreigners' saints, and even more an insult to us saints' children. Why do foreigners dare to destroy our saints? Our national strength is too small. If we don't stand up, the Confucianism will perish and the country will perish. Only reform can make China stronger and prevent us from being bullied by Western powers."

Xu Zhijing was furious when he heard the words: "Foreigners are simply too bullying. I will definitely submit a memorial tomorrow to ask the emperor to summon the envoy to blame Yingting. The British will not apologize, so we can't let it go."

Kang Youwei agreed: "Now there are many juren in the capital waiting for the next year's examination. I will spread this news tomorrow to attract their attention, gather the strength of everyone, and make things big enough to make the emperor listen and let the emperor understand that the current situation is not OK."

On the morning of the day, Kang Youwei wrote this matter into an article, spreading it everywhere among the juren who came to Beijing. The news spread. There was a phenomenon of bus blockage in front of the imperial court. Within a few days, many juren wrote to the court, asking the court to compromise and deal with the matter. At the same time, many officials also submitted memorials, requiring Guangxu to carry out reforms and strengthen their efforts. The momentum of demanding reform and reform was huge. It seemed that the capital would spend this New Year holiday in this lively, and those who were funny and walking their dogs had more topics of discussion.

Of course, although Ye Zhikui, who is in Tianjin, heard the news, he had no time to care about the fun in the capital, because he was really angry now and the consequences were very serious!

Originally, I was in a good mood today, and it was about to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Of course, Ye Zhikui had to spend his first year happily after coming to the Qing Dynasty, but this mood only lasted until the afternoon. The general office of the Law Enforcement Camp Office was different. There were news that more than ten soldiers fought on the streets of Tianjin and were seriously injured and carried back.

Unexpectedly, he kindly gave the army a small vacation and would have to rush back to the barracks. As soon as he entered the military medical bureau, the soldiers who were humming and haggard on the bed were about to struggle to salute. Ye Zhikui's face was gloomy, he controlled it with his hands, and then asked slightly angrily: "Who are you soldiers under? Why did it happen like this!"

The soldiers all lowered their heads in shame, and one of the veterans replied: "Back to Mr. Ye, the youngest people are all soldiers led by Wu Dashan and Wu Tong. It was just because they had a quarrel with the soldiers of the Dingwu Army on the streets of Tianjin today, and it eventually turned out like this."

Ye Zhikui was furious and cursed: "Are you all the food buckets, are you all soft-legged crabs? You have violated the military rules and were beaten like this. Are our Wuyi Army the waste like you?"

At this time, Wu Dashan had already received the news and led a group of battalions. The team officials rushed over and heard Ye Zhikui scolding the waste. He blushed and rushed forward and slapped the mildly injured soldiers several times.

Ye Zhikui rebuked and said, "Enough, Dashan, you are also an old man who has been with me for a long time. I, Ye Zhikui, will not be at ease when I take a vacation. So you bastards are all full. What do you think you will do if you violate the military rules?"

Wu Dashan knelt down, and the officials of all sizes and big and small who came with him were also scared by Ye Zhikui and knelt down. Wu Dashan said seriously: "The subordinates are not strict in their control and are willing to be punished. These soldiers are veterans of the Tiger Warrior Army. I hope Mr. Ye will be relieved of their injuries because of their injuries."

Ye Zhikui's eyes turned cold and said, "It is necessary to be punished if you make a mistake. But before you, Wu Dashan, you have to think about what to do. Our Wu Yi Army has never bullied others and has not been bullied by others. Wu Dashan, do you still want me to teach you how to do it?"

Wu Dashan stood up and said murderously: "I know how to do it! Let's do it right away."

Ye Zhikui waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Okay, you go down first. If you embarrass me, don't come back to see me. Also, don't keep talking about the Tiger Warrior Army in the future. Now everyone is Wuyi Army, do you know!"

Wu Dashan retreated in response, and Ye Zhikui had a headache about the Tiger Warrior Sect, Nie Shicheng Sect, and Wubei Academy Sect that formed vaguely in the army. It seems that more friendship activities should be carried out in the future to deepen exchanges, and the army cannot continue to form a mountain like this.
