Ronglu visited the new army for several days and found that Ye Zhikui was eating with soldiers in the military canteen, and he couldn't help but nod.

On the last day before leaving, he investigated Ye Zhikui's search for fun in his army. After learning the whole story, Ronglu had a headache about Ye Zhikui's dissatisfaction with playing cards, even if he understood the facts, even if he could not understand Ye Zhikui's pity and love for the soldiers, he would not have turned black and white against Ye Zhikui's slandering the military discipline and indulging indulgence.

That night, Ronglu asked his aide Yang, "How do you think the new army is compared to the old army?"

Yang thought for a while and replied: "I have no idea about the army, but from the perspective of the military appearance and morale of the soldiers, the old army is far behind the new army, and there are many tactics in the new army, which are unique."

When Ronglu heard Yang say this, he agreed: "Your words are extremely true. Ye Zhikui must be safeguarded to make the future."

Soon, after Ronglu returned to Beijing, he submitted a memorial and stated: "Ye Zhikui is a man who loves soldiers and does not have any destruction of military discipline. The new army has a strong military strength, which is the key to China's reform and self-improvement. Ye Zhikui is a rare talent."

Ronglu turned around and went to the Summer Palace and said to Cixi: "I think Ye Zhikui is loyal to me, the Qing Dynasty, and you are even more respectful to you, Lord Laifu, and you should be vigorously promoted. Now the emperor wants to reform and strive for strength, but the emperor is still young and has no experience at all. He still needs your secret support. Moreover, the emperor believes in Kang Youwei. When the servant sees Kang Youwei, he has no practical experience and just talks about scholars all over the place, what can I do?"

Cixi was speechless after hearing this for a while. Ronglu didn't understand her thoughts for a while, so she had to leave. Cixi was actually very entangled. On the one hand, she hated foreigners and hoped to become stronger through reforms and catch up with Western countries. On the other hand, she did not want Guangxu to gain power through reforms, making herself without real power.

The biggest mistake Kang Youwei made at this time was like the Japanese said, "I can't tell the difference between the top and bottom." I don't know who is the real master of the Qing Dynasty. I'm extremely naive in politics and don't know what compromise is."

Of course, what happened in the capital has nothing to do with Ye Zhikui for the time being. After Ronglu left, he just needs to live his own life. Of course, when he is fine, he still has to bully Yuan Shikai. It’s not that Ye Zhikui and Yuan Shikai have any irreconcilable grudges. In fact, Ye Zhikui has never let go of it. There is no way. Who said that Yuan Shikai is so famous in later generations? Ye Zhikui was afraid that he would lose it to Xiao Yuan by accident. Therefore, he attached so much importance to Yuan Shikai and suppressed Yuan Shikai in every possible way. He poached his people and robbed his soldiers. There was only one purpose, that is, he could not let Xiao Yuan get up. Ye Zhikui shouted in his heart: Because I am the protagonist.

Ye Zhikui took Yuan Shikai's hidden arrow this time. Although he didn't see any losses for the time being, he couldn't just let it go. Yuan Shikai must understand that some people are something he can't and cannot afford to offend.

"What? Wu Yi's army needs to marching and train. What's the use of this?" Wang Wenshao started to have a headache when he saw Ye Zhikui. Ye Zhikui was increasingly treating the Governor's Mansion as his own. Whenever he had any strange ideas, he would definitely go here to discuss with him. He said it was a discussion. In fact, it was none of the discussion. Anyone who knows Ye Zhikui knows that he is actually a scoundrel. No matter what he proposes, you have to agree. If he doesn't agree, he will definitely end up you agreeing.

Ye Zhikui cleared his throat and said, "Governor General, this is the case. The so-called training is to let the army leave the garrison and organize training during the marching. This move is to strengthen the physical fitness and combat effectiveness of the subordinate officers and sergeants, which can hone the will of the sergeants and make the entire army more united."

Wang Wenshao couldn't help but nodded, thinking that Ye Zhikui was right, but he said angrily: "This is a good thing. You, the admiral of Zhili, just make a decision, why are you still coming to find me?"

Ye Zhikui rolled his eyes and replied, "Governor General, let's practice. No matter how much you save, you still need money and food. It is difficult for officials to ask the Ministry of War for some minor matters, so they have to find the Governor General Office of Zhili to solve the problem."

Wang Wenshao was so angry that his beard was raised up, and rushed Ye Zhikui out and cursed: "Okay, Ye Zhikui, you robbed me and hit me. I don't want money here, but I'm going to have one to die."

Ye Zhikui walked out of the Governor's Mansion awkwardly and went back to Lutai to discuss the marching and training with the generals. The reason why Ye Zhikui came to report to Wang Wenshao was not that he was really short of money, but that no matter what happened, you had to say it to the superior, otherwise who would know whether the superior would secretly hate him because of your own actions!

Ye Zhikui stood in front, pointed to the generals of the Wuyi Army below, pointing to a map of Tianjin and said, "You guys, this time, our Wuyi Army will conduct marching training in five echelons, each echelon of 3,000 people. Only after returning to the camp in the first echelon can the next echelon start from the camp. The place for the marching training is from Lutai to the gate of the Dingwu Army camp in Xiaozhan, and then camp at the small station for one night. The next day, each person will be limited to bringing military rations for one day. If it is not enough, you must solve it yourself. I don't care whether you are helping the people do good deeds and let the people reward you with a bite of food or other methods. In short, one is not allowed to steal, two is not allowed to rob, and three is not allowed to disturb the people. Have you heard it clearly?"

The generals replied in unison: "I understand!" Because they were not allowed to ride horses, there was a two-day distance from Lutai to Xiaozhan, and they only brought one day military rations. There was still one day the soldiers had to find a way.

Zhou Dingchen, the former leader, did not understand why Ye Zhikui set the destination of training as a small station, so he asked the right-wing Changjiang Zikang: "Fuqing, the final purpose of this marching is a small station. Does Mr. Ye have any profound meaning?"

Jiang Zikang shook his head and replied, "Don't ask me, I can't see Young Master Ye clearly since I attacked North Korea." Then he pointed to Shigo, and said, "This person knows Young Master Ye's thoughts best!"

The two old guys surrounded Shigou, who knew the intention of the visit, and he put his hands behind him, shook his hair and said coquettishly: "This is not simple. Why did you camp in the small station for one night? Did you know that Wu Dashan and Wu Tong led people into the Dingwu military camp?" Then, Shigou looked around, lowered his head, and said softly: "The following is the rumor, which has not been confirmed yet. I heard that the Minister of War Ronglu came to our Wuyi army to inspect this time. That was because Yuan Shikai was doing it behind the scenes. Do you think we, Mr. Ye, can swallow this? This is going to the Dingwu army to demonstrate. It is best to think of some ways to disgust Yuan Shika when you are stationed at the small station, so that Mr. Ye will be happier."

The two old guys suddenly realized and quickly thanked him. When I saw Ren, I stretched out my hand and said, "No need to thank you, I have to pay my respects, two cents of silver." Zhou Dingchen and Jiang Zikang were stunned!

At the small station in the Dingwu Army camp, Yuan Shikai finally felt a little relieved after several days of panic. When he saw dinner, he was about to go for a meal when a soldier suddenly came to report.

"Not good, no good, Yuan Shuai! Wu Yijun blocked our door." The soldier said gasping for breath.

Yuan Shikai was not sure why, why did Ye Zhikui's Wu Yi army come here? Soon, Xu Shichang also received information and walked to the gate of Yingpan with Yuan Shikai.

The gate was filled with soldiers watching the fun. When the soldiers saw Yuan Shikai coming, they all made way to form a passage. Yuan Shikai and Xu Shichang walked out of the gate of Yingpan. They saw that the soldiers of the Wuyi Army stood in front without saying a word and blocked the way. The soldiers of the Dingwu Army wanted to pass unless they stepped on the heads of the Wuyi Army soldiers.

Yuan Shikai was angry and stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter with your Wu Yi army surrounding our door?"

A familiar voice sounded. Yuan Shikai looked carefully and found that it was the leader who rushed into the camp last time. The leader said, "Our Wuyi Army is just to ask for food. Lord Yuan is not so stingy, right?"

Begging for food? Does Wu Yijun still need to beg for food? Yuan Shikai looked at Wu Dashan's rough face and really wanted to rush up and punch him twice. Unfortunately, it was just thinking about it.

Xu Shichang was silent for a while and said to Yuan Shikai: "Weiting, do what they want first! See what tricks they have."

Yuan Shikai had no choice but to ask the chef to prepare more food and deliver it. As soon as the food was delivered, the soldiers of Wu Yi's army began to swallow their saliva. Wu Dashan waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, it's time to eat it. Whoever grabs it first will eat it first. If you don't grab it, you'll be hungry tonight."

Wu Dashan made a big stride and rushed towards the rice bucket. The other soldiers did not react slowly, and followed them and rushed forward with wolves howling. Yuan Shikai was squeezed to the ground before he could retreat. When he got up again, he had already been stepped on several steps. Looking at Wu Yi's army's tide of food grabbing, he couldn't even make it come out. He looked at Xu Shichang and said in his heart: This, they are really here to beg for food.

After eating and drinking, the soldiers of the Wuyi Army began to disperse one after another. Yuan Shikai looked from a distance and saw that the Wuyi Army had set up a temporary tent not far from his military camp. He couldn't figure out the situation and saw that the matter had been resolved, so he went back.

I thought that shortly after Yuan Shikai left, the soldiers of the Wuyi Army began to gather together in groups of three or three. When they met the soldiers of the Dingwu Army going out, they stood in front, and did not move or let them go. If any soldiers of the Dingwu Army asked what they were going to do, the Wuyi Army's answer would be "begging for food"!

The smart Dingwu Army soldiers had to find the money on their bodies and seek peace. Unexpectedly, this trick was effective. As long as the soldiers who spent the money were rarely harassed by Wuyi Army soldiers. The incident, called "beggar" but actually "blackbill" spread in the Dingwu Army in Xiaozhan.

The soldiers of the Dingwu Army were also helpless. The Qing Dynasty had no choice but to commit robbery, but not to beg for food. They could not afford to be injured. Most of the soldiers who went out of the camp spent money to do it.

Starting from the first echelon, for more than ten days, every other day, a team of Wu Yi Army soldiers came to beg for food, which made Yuan Shikai extremely depressed and wanted to curse. Fortunately, after more than ten days, Wu Yi Army finally calmed down. Yuan Shikai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart that Ye Zhikui really couldn't mess with him in the future.
