Volume Two, Chapter 34, Starting Today

Part 2 Chapter 34 Starting from today

What happened in the summer of 1895 was full of a political scent of intrigue. This was very uncomfortable for Chen Congyun, but he had to face it. Relying on his foresight to history, Chen Congyun finally spent this uncomfortable time without any danger.

Fifty students from Tianjin Martial Arts School, when they lined up on the deck in an orderly line, Chen Congyun, who had been standing on the high ground, silently watching these young people who might become their own family in the future.

"I finally escaped." Looking at the vast sky, Chen Congyun sighed.

With a long sound of enlightenment, the ship slowly left Dagukou, sailed towards the sea, and headed south. In a corner of the dock, Princess Yuxiu watched the ship leave, and bit the handkerchief tightly in the corner of her mouth.

"If Chen Congyun could listen to the court's greetings peacefully, there would be no room for negotiation. But now, it's better not to meet. I want to see what this kid can do in Vietnam." This is the reply that Yu Xiu received several times when he entered the palace and begged for hard work.

Chen Congyun slowly walked to the deck, and the students all settled in their own cabins. Looking at the dirty front deck, Chen Congyun couldn't help but frowned.

A heavy rain in the morning made the road muddy, and the students were covered in muddy shoes, making the deck mess.

"Go and let the students gather in an emergency." Chen Congyun said sternly without looking back, and Li Yaozu smiled and said, "Yes! Sir."

Chen Congyun looked at Li Yaozu with a loose attitude, not at all as a regular army, and his brows were even more powerful. It was not easy to train a new army. Now it was just a plan on paper. There were also brothers such as Li Yaozu who worked hard in Vietnam, as well as fifty students and three thousand militiamen.

In fact, the more than 3,000 soldiers stationed in Vietnam and Cao Yi and others were to be precise, a group of farmers holding guns, and they were polite to say that they were militiamen. Chen Congyun still remembered the painful lesson of less than half of the losses in the Hanoi blockade battle.

If you want to develop a strong army, you must start from now and arrest these future officers.

The instructors at Tianjin Martial Arts School were basically hired foreign instructors, and they taught the Western style. After Chen Congyun's emergency assembly order, the students' reaction was very fast. In less than five minutes, fifty students had already completed the queue on the deck.

"Everyone, I've just called you here for a few words. Starting today, you have officially been incorporated into the ranks of the No. 1 New Army Town. In my army, soldiers must practice every day, even on the boat, every day of training must be carried out. Look at the deck under your feet, what is dirty? This is the playground on the boat. Do you know what to do?" Chen Congyun took advantage of his face and looked at the group of young men with tender beards and tender beards, a group of passionate young men.

"I know!" Fifty people answered neatly!

Chen Congyun showed an undetectable smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Very good, I'll give you half an hour. In half an hour, I will see a clean deck, a neat queue, and a group of energetic soldiers. Now start the timing!"

Chen Congyun took out a pocket watch and looked at the time. This was the gift Sheng Xuanhuai gave to Chen Congyun last night.

Huh, the fifty students quickly dispersed and started busy. After only 25 minutes, fifty students who were clean on the clean deck stood neatly in front of Shen Congyun. Needless to say, these students were not in vain at Tianjin Martial Arts School.

"Very good, they are all good. When you go back, you will choose the temporary captain of the boss and the deputy captain, and the captains will be responsible for commanding the daily training and march on the road. Daily training is the first discipline I have set, and everyone must obey. Today is the first day, and now we will start to select the captain."

The ship gradually sailed to the depths of the sea, and the waves on the sea gradually showed power. Shen Congyun was not motion sick, nor did he feel sick, which means he was not seasick. The seemingly calm sea always had waves rising and falling. Shen Congyun, who was riding on the cargo ship of this era for the first time, couldn't resist it soon, so he quickly led Sheng Xiaoqi back to his cabin. Shen Congyun held the prepared spittoon and vomited a mess. Sheng Xiaoqi was not seasick, and he kept patting Shen Congyun on the back.

All day, Chen Congyun just drank some water. At the beginning, he tried to eat something, but he vomited as much as he ate. Then he knew that he had given up eating food before getting used to seasickness.

Early the next morning, Shen Congyun, who was hungry and pale, still appeared on the side of the ship outside the cockpit, with a pale face, quietly watching the team of students and guards on the front deck training.

Li Yaozu and his friends had not received formal training. After this training, they soon became black sheep. The new captain Aftershock and deputy captain Zhao Xinglong discussed it, and Zhao Xinglong led Li Yaozu and others to receive queue training alone, while others had aftershocks to lead them to practice every day.

Li Yaozu and the others were considered to have suffered this time. In the school, the instructor in the queue training was a retired German soldier. He was completely troubled by the German army. He was standing in a marching position, and stood for half an hour. Zhao Xinglong also set an example and stood in a marching position, and Li Yaozu and the others had to follow him.

In the evening, Li Yaozu touched Chen Congyun and complained, but cursed Chen Congyun, and finally said, "If you don't want to do it, get out."

Li Yaozu went back in shame. When Shen Congyun appeared in front of the high boat's side in the morning the next morning, there were still slogans below, one, two, three, and four.

The ship walked on the sea for ten days and finally arrived in Guangzhou. Chen Congyun didn't vomit much since the third day, and basically adapted to the sailing on the sea, which shows that his physical fitness is still acceptable.

Ten days left Chen Congyun missed the plane very much. It only took more than two hours from Tianjin to Guangzhou. Even if there was a railway, it would take three or four days to take the train and it would be a place.

"Railway! It really needs a railway!" When Chen Congyun walked off the ship, his wish became stronger and stronger.

When he slowly walked out of the dock, he heard someone shouting from afar: "Is it Mr. Chen Congyun Shen?" Chen Congyun looked at him in his voice. A man in his thirties, carrying a civilization stick in his hand, wearing a long gown and jacket, a small melon-shaped hat, led his two followers to come calmly.

Civilized sticks are something that Westerners like to use. This thin Chinese man dressed in Chinese but he just held a civilized stick. No matter how he looked, he felt a little inappropriate. However, judging from this person's expression, he felt good and did not think that there was anything wrong with this. He was a self-doubt.

"It's right! Who are you?" Chen Congyun's eyelids kept pounding, and he always felt that this guy was not a simple character, so he was naturally very polite in his words and expressions.

"Gu Hongming is here! He is now the former aide of Governor Zhang and his former staff, and has met Lord Shen!"

Another history

A famous figure! Who is Gu Hongming? He was born in Southeast Asia, studied in the West, married in the East, and served in the Beiyang. He was proficient in nine languages ​​including English, French, German, Latin, and Greece. He got 13 doctorate degrees. He read English newspapers upside down and mocked the British, saying that Americans were not educated. He was the first to translate "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" into English and German and spread it to the West. He exchanged letters with Leo and Tolstoy, taught Confucianism classes to the Japanese Prime Minister, and was "the most noble Chinese" by the "Mahatma" Gandhi of India.

Gu Hongming is well-versed in Chinese and Western learning, but he is a conservative. He likes to scold Westerners and criticizes them all in his ideas. Many Westerners believe that Gu Hongming's knowledge and wisdom are obsessed with it. Such a super perverted boos stood in front of Shen Congyun, and Chen Congyun was really ashamed of the imperial envoy.

"It turns out it's Mr. Gu, I'm polite." Chen Congyun Yi finished the etiquette of the backwards and bowed politely.

"Haha, be polite. People in the world say that Shen Zigui is a crazy man, and there is also a nickname for a madman. I don't think so. It can be seen that the message is spreading rumors, which is not worth trusting." Gu Hongming was very satisfied with Chen Congyun's attitude. He smiled and was very rude and was treated with Chen Congyun's younger generation. The people around him were shocked to look at Gu Hongming with respect. In fact, Sheng Xiaoqi and Li Yaozu, how did they know which immortal Gu Hongming was? It was just that Chen Congyun was so respectful, so they naturally followed him.

Chen Congyun smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Even if I am crazy, I must have the capital to be crazy in front of you. You have 13 doctoral degrees on your head. I am just a bachelor's degree, and the test failed."

"Shame, Congyun has been reckless in his past."
