Chapter 15: Wrongful

"Raise your feet! Stand up straight! Don't shake it randomly!"

Li Yunzong was walking around in front of the recruits with his hands behind his back, with the sun shining brightly. The recruits were wearing training uniforms. He was wearing a tight military uniform. The big-brimmed hat was pressed low on the middle of his eyebrows, and the cold eyes appeared under the brim of the hat made every recruit dare not move, and he tried his best to lift his butt and stretch out his foot.

After a while, someone started to sway left and right.

These new recruits were recruited by Li Yunzong. The quality was very good by the standards at that time. The tradition of the Qing Dynasty was that good iron would not be used as a soldier, and good men would not be used as soldiers. However, it was the end of the world, and Zhili had two years of drought. Look at the countless military men who started their business with military merits in recent decades and became popular. These Youyan children flocked to the recruitment sites opened by Li Yunzong in various prefectures in Zhili.

Each of them was strong in body, and in the Hebei area, the atmosphere of folk education was extremely strong. According to statistics at that time, before 1949, the average literacy rate of the people in Hebei was far higher than the national average. Many of these new recruits had simple cultures. Moreover, the people in Zhili had a strong martial style. For example, there were sayings that they would not call Cangzhou. The folk martial arts organizations such as the Shaolin Association and the village head valley were everywhere.

The quality of this group of new recruits was already outstanding among the Qing army at that time. The most important thing is that this new army was completely new without the old-fashioned relationships of the armies of various systems. Naturally, it had a vibrant feeling.

Eight thousand new recruits were completely organized into sixteen new recruit battalions. The Beiyang School officials are now the battalion commanders of the new recruit battalion, while the Nanyang alternate school officials are still training themselves, while they are internship positions such as deputy sentry commanders and deputy captains. The veterans of the Qing army can be created and act as backbone soldiers like Zhengmu and Deputy Sub-me.

In Xu Yifan's budget, two months of recruit training will be completed. The Imperial Guard can officially form an army and conduct military skills training. In addition to special forces such as artillery and cavalry, each infantry battalion will be a fully usable combat force in six months. The sixteen new recruit battalions can form the 12th Battalion of the left and right association of the Imperial Guard's first town.

The vision is beautiful, but the previous training was twice as hard. This is a new force in the Qing Dynasty. From officials to soldiers, all of them were pieced together by Xu Yifan. Thank you for your hard work, and these officers who voluntarily joined Xu Yifan's command were even more hard!

Including Li Yunzong and Chu Wanli, the two left and right assistants who were booked, all arrived in the army in person. They participated in the training of the recruits. They also had to do what the recruits asked to do, and they had to do better! In the face of discipline, they treated everyone equally. Some people could not complete the training or violated the discipline, and they were knocking the stars in front of them with a military stick, crying and fighting twice.

Li Yunzong in front of this team of new recruits was a fierce god in front of people. When receiving new recruits, Li Yunzong escorted all the way, asking about his well-being. Although he didn't talk much and didn't laugh loudly, he was so kind. Unexpectedly, this kind Lord Li seemed to be from hell when he arrived at the training ground!

Li Xing stood at the front of the team, and was sweating. He was soft and hard, and finally temporarily left Zhan Tianyou's construction committee and started the quick training of the candidate officers. Now he is also a deputy commander in the First Battalion of the recruits. Even though he was from Nanyang, wearing a thick tweed military uniform under the sun, he was still dizzy in front of him. Sweat made his whole body soaked. There was a pool of water stains under his feet, but he didn't dare to move.

Li Yunzong was staring at it! The two veterans behind him were holding military sticks with red and black in their hands!

The training location of the First Battalion of the New Recruitment was far away from the edge of the playground, leaving the shade at the foot of the mountain. In the largest part of the sun, many civilians who participated in the construction passed by from time to time. They pointed and marveled.

The soldiers were very good at eating, and the villagers saw the dazzling white cotton training uniforms on their bodies were quite enviable. But the hardships of training were really amazing!

Feeling the envious eyes of the men with braids, the recruits all wanted to work hard to support their feet that were already numb and unable to feel when they went out. Unfortunately, they were still shaking harder and harder.

Li Yunzong's eyes became more and more gloomy.

The onlookers suddenly had a commotion, and the chaos changed their sight again. Then they saw a team coming from the edge of the playground, from the direction of the military training office, calling and behind them. The old mother was the maid holding all kinds of things. The one in the middle was a tall and beautiful girl wearing a dress with a foreign flower umbrella. As long as they saw the chestnut hair reflecting the seductive luster in the sun, who else could there be besides Li Xuan?

She was so angry that she had been accused of Xu Yifan for several days, and seeing that Xu Yifan didn't come to provoke her to apologize and apologize. Li Xuan also felt a little bored. The weather was getting hot again, so she took the brigade of servants back to the vicinity of Pyongyang. After being bored for a long time, she wanted to play with her brother. Unexpectedly, she couldn't find Li Xing for a few days, those Nanyang candidates who were training desperately. In the past, no one was around Li Xuan's skirt? Now Miss Li is here in person, and she dare not take a look at her, let alone show her attentiveness.

The first is because I know that Miss Li is already Mrs. Junxian, and the second is that these scholars are now coming from Southeast Asia and living such a disciplined collective life. They also enlighten Xu Yifan on his thoughts of saving the country and the people all day long. It was his thoughtful preparation and dedication. When he demanded himself by the Puritan standards, Miss Li's charm was naturally greatly reduced.

But when I came here like this, in the eyes of the civil servants, this girl with all her hair, skin, eyes and demeanor was so strange that she almost rushed up.

"How does this skin grow as white as milk?"

"Aren't we Chinese?"

"Silence it! I heard it is Mrs. Xian of Lord Xu!"

"The eyes are blue!"

When the recruits heard these voices, although they dared not move their heads, they tried their best to squeeze towards the corner of their eyes, and wanted to see the strange ones. Li Xing was standing dizzy. When he heard the comments around him, he knew that he was going to be bad. His sister was here!

I took a peek at Li Yunzong. Under the big-brimmed hat, there was only a pair of angry eyes that were getting more and more overflowing. The muscles next to the cheeks were getting tighter and tighter.

Li Xuan didn't know what Li Xing was thinking. She just came to see her brother. After leaving her hometown for a long time, the freshness faded. At this time, she was thinking about relatives. Xu Yifan announced his misfortune in front of her, a big yellow girl. She hadn't told her brother about this grievance!

Under the flower umbrella, her bright eyes looked around, but she just rolled around the neat square arrays surrounding the playground. After a while, Li Xuan opened her mouth wide and almost cheered!

Finally, he found his brother! Li Xing was much thinner than when he left Nanyang. The eldest young master's appearance was almost polished. He already had a little pig iron temperament. He stood there straight and didn't dare to move. The sweat beads on his face rolled down and hung on his chin. His clothes were completely wet. Occasionally, mosquitoes and flies flies flew by and crawled on his face, and Li Xing didn't even blink his eyes.

How did Xu Yifan treat her brother? How did he make him suffer? Li Xuan froze and felt heartbroken. The maid next to her was holding her iced sour plum soup food box. Li Xuan turned her head and ordered: "Hurry, send it to Brother Xing!"

The maid looked at Li Yunzong in front of the team with a straight figure. Although the young officer didn't look at this side, the little maid still felt a sudden sensation and was froze there and did not dare to move. Li Xuan looked at the side of her and saw that the maid was frightened there. She suddenly pouted in anger: "I won't listen to my words? Give it to me!"

The little maid handed the food box to Li Xuan, and Li Xuan threw down the umbrella. He held the food box and walked towards Li Xing with a smile. He had been away for a long time and was really intimate: "Brother! You'll drink some sour plum soup! It's so hot! Brother, I'm A Xuan!"

After walking a few steps, Li Yunzong turned his head coldly, and his cold-powered gaze pierced Li Xuan. Li Xuan had seen him. When he was in Nanyang, the seriously injured Li Yunzong was bandaged like a rice dumpling. Seeing her being very polite and performed a subordinate's tribute, his eyes were so cold at this time!

"Don't come here!"

The recruits forgot that their feet were sore, and they stared at the beautiful and light girl in front of them, as well as the pig iron-like Li Yunzong.

Li Xuan was stunned: "Why can't I come here? Let's look at my brother, why are you yelling?"

Li Xing stood there, unable to say anything about his pain, and his heart was in a mess, and his kicked foot fell down with a slap. Once someone fell down, the feet of the recruits also fell down, and suddenly the small field was in chaos.

Li Yun's face turned pale, and he didn't even look at Li Xuan's turn, and said coldly: "Who is it?"

Li Xing closed his eyes and raised his hand: "Report, it's a mark!"

Li Yunzong waved his head: "Are you still an officer? For a moment, whoever can't hold on to the first will get the military stick. Even if he faints, his foot will be held up to the sky! What else do you have to say?"

"No!"

The two horsemen held the military stick and went up. Without saying a word, Li Xing took off his hat and lay down. These Nanyang scholars had no braids and their bare back of their heads were very eye-catching.

Li Xuan was already angry and tears were circling in her eyes, and she was so shiny that she couldn't say anything wronged. She carried her skirt and ran over: "Who dares to hit my brother?"

Such a beautiful girl rushed into the team, and the recruits immediately became chaotic. Li Yunzong roared, as if even the shaking smoke and dust were shocked: "Who dares to disrupt our army? Fight out!"

Li Xing lay there and shook his body, but he didn't dare to look up. The recruits were so scared that they dared not move around. The two horsemen came over with military sticks subconsciously. Li Xuan was so angry that her feet jumped around. Even Xu Yifan was angry and even said that he showed up: "I am your Lord Xu's wife! Who dares to hit me?"

The two horsemen froze, and the old maids watched the lady's danger and rushed over in chaos, shouting in a row. Li Yunzong stood with his hands behind his back, looking as ironic: "Get out!"

The horseman no longer dared to hesitate, and subconsciously waved the military sticks. Although he still paid attention to avoiding Li Xuan, the maids and mothers were beaten a lot. Li Xuan also hung up two or three times, and suddenly cried and ran away in the field.

Li Xuan's tears were falling down, and she felt so aggrieved that the pear blossoms were in the rain. While she was pulling the maid away, she tried her best to wipe her tears. But the more she wiped her more and more, and finally she cried: "I sued Xu Yifan! It's so bullying! I want to go home!"

Until Li Xuan was pulled away, Li Xing lay there and didn't dare to move.

He voluntarily wanted to join this army, so when he was in it, he had to maintain the discipline of this army! This is what Xu Yifan repeatedly told them to the officers. Only discipline, only discipline, can become an army!

The horsemen beat the military sticks down, and Li Yunzong's roar also shook the new recruits' ears: "It is a perfect move to train troops, and I will get out of here! I will not recognize any Mrs. Xian! Follow the command and follow the command, and kick it straight!"

None of the new recruits dared to move around. With a bang, they kicked out in a neat stance. After getting the military stick, Li Xing got up and stood up straight and kicked out in a straight stance.

Even the civilians next to them were shocked silently at this time.

No one looked at the square formations of various training camps around him, only short and neat slogans. Chu Wanli took the recruit camp whom he was personally trained, glanced at Li Yunzong with his eyes slanted, and smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.

Today's appearance is more effective than hitting these recruits with one hundred military sticks...

At this time, Xu Yifan naturally didn't know Miss Li's grievances.

He was taking Zhan Tianyou and Tang Shaoyi to discuss things one by one. He was so busy at the beginning of all industries. I guess he would have to think about it for a long time if someone asked him who Li Xuan was.

What he circulated in his mind was the flow of funds, the number of troops entering the battalion, the progress of construction, the appointment of officers, the equipment in place... These cold things.

Like the wonderful enjoyment of walking on the moon for a hundred miles that night, flying in the hot springs with two days, I guess it is quite far away from him for the time being.

"Sir, this is the number of equipment arrivals. The latest foreign guns of Mauser Type 88 are equipped with 1,000 rounds of ammunition per gun. Each bullet costs 104 taels of silver for a bullet, and the total freight is 920,000 taels to be developed for Lihe Foreign Company... Will you pay now?"

"Notify Nanyang and pay as you wish."

"Sir, will you come here in person if you will be improved tomorrow's test shot of Maxim's continuous shooting gun?"

"Of course, once the test shot is successful, order 200 Maxim machine guns that fire smokeless gunpowder immediately! What's the repair shop now? Do you understand the structure? I don't want you to build it now, but at least you have to know how to repair it now! Order it immediately if you lack any machine, and whatever technician you lack, regardless of the local and foreign ones, hire it immediately!"

"Sir, we, the ambassadors of Ping'an Road, have sent a lot of food. We ask Lord Tang to go there quickly, apply for receipts for them, and give them commissions..."

"Shaochuan, you go first!"

After discussing a lot of things in a daze, he approved a lot of official documents. Tang Shaochuan left in a hurry, and a member of Zhan Tianyou sent a pack of things over. Zhan Tianyou took it and took a look, and hurriedly handed it to Ke Xu Yifan.

Xu Yifan was sitting behind his desk, and the assistant ministers' office was still in the tent, while Pu Yang and Goshha were guarding the tent in uniform. In the sultry weather, Xu Yifan was covered in sweat, and an iron kettle was placed on the table, with Nanyang coffee inside. After drinking one cup of cups, he sweated more. He sat there, and had obviously lost a lot of weight, but he was still energetic. If his relatives and friends from that time and space looked at him, they would have felt that they had changed into another person.

In the past, he was a little easy-going and lazy, and a little a little depressed with an angry young man. Although his smile is still there, people always feel that there is something deep behind this smile. The anger young man's depression is gone at all, and it is a kind of stern and self-constraint that bears the responsibilities of countless people. It turns out that the white-collar workers in the office have weak belly, and they have become thin and strong, with unlimited energy.

He now looks like a leader.

Zhan Tianyou's thing was handed over, and Xu Yifan looked up at him. Zhan Tianyou was much darker and thinner. Xu Yifan's eyes flashed and he didn't say anything. When he opened the pack of things, he immediately slapped the table happily.

"Okay, it's not badly cast! Compared with those horse money, stellar money, and Yingyang, the quality is not bad! Daren, your casting technology is not bad!"

That pack of things was a pile of shining foreign money. There were two Chinese characters on the front, seventy-two. There was a circle of foreign words on the back, which was written by Xu Yifan. Zhan Tianyou, who was studying in the United States, could not recognize them.

This is the foreign coins minted by Xu Yifan from China and abroad in North Korea! Since the Qing Dynasty, the money method has been chaotic. The main things that are common are silver and copper coins. The silver circulated, and they are cut and cut, and finally become a pile of silver slag. The copper coins are heavy and inconvenient. There is also a disadvantage of using copper coins to cast copper for profit. Moreover, silver alone has many kinds of quality, such as Guanping, Songjiang, Changping, Taizhouping, etc., which are extremely inconvenient. When the country's doors opened, foreign silver coins poured in, and this kind of currency with fixed quality and fixed currency value suddenly became popular. But the interest rate of money flowed out continuously.

The Qing officials, who could not see the benefits of foreign money? Many people were thinking about drum casting. For example, the governor of Huguang, Zhang Nanpi, had already planned to start casting in Hubei this year. He had filed documents with the Ministry of Revenue again and again, and the court was afraid that all the profits and rights would be held locally, and it would be even more difficult to restrain them in the future.

Xu Yifan is so good. He has not passed the official documents and started to cast the ocean privately near Pyongyang! His eyes are bright and he stared at the interest income of the money. The foreign money is made of the seventh 2. The foreign language behind is the Chinese pinyin of the three characters Xu Datou! It is not the Roman Chinese pinyin that is popular now. In this regard, we have to admit that he is still a bit of a bad taste.

This kind of privately cast ocean, unless someone can catch his private casting factory in Pyongyang, he will not admit it if he is beaten to death. It is just regarded as another new foreign currency flowing in from abroad. The foreign currency can be paid immediately as military pay, and the soldiers can send it back to the Zhan family. Or the old shopkeeper Han transports supplies, the soldiers can purchase them on the spot, and Xu Yifan can also use these oceans to pay for some domestic military funds. In several aspects, the ocean will be circulated. As long as the more casting is, the wider the circulation range will be. The wider the circulation range will be, the more interest income will be!

Only Xu Yifan, a brave guy, dares to do such a deal! Thanks to his lack of reach in Pyongyang, the court was beyond his reach, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Seeing that foreign money was finally cast out, Xu Yifan stood up so happy that he patted Zhan Tianyou's shoulder: "Daren, Daren, you did a great job! This foreign money has been circulated. We will mint silver coins in the future. If we can make money, we will never let it go! This is a great achievement, a great achievement! Think more about a solution, and we have any other ways to make money, don't let it go!"

Seeing Xu Yifan's ugly appearance, Zhan Tianyou smiled bitterly. He had already boarded Xu Yifan's pirate ship and had done so many things that were unscrupulous. He didn't want to do anything. Then, don't kill everyone in the whole family.

For this Lord Xu, not for the dream of comprehensive industrialization in his mind.

But this goal is still far away.

Xu Yifan was excited for a while, and saw that Zhan Tianyou looked a little depressed. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. What else was there in his heart?

"Daren, what are you thinking about?"

Zhan Tianyou pondered for a while, then smiled reluctantly and said, "It's nothing. It's just that I'm happy for the adults. I'll earn more money. My soldiers have already been trained for some time...... It's just that my subordinates are thinking. My adults are all on the risk of their troops..."

He took a breath, as if he had to plucked up his courage. He looked up at Xu Yifan seriously: "Sir, there are many ways to make money. According to the capital of his, why don't we open some factories? For example, a textile factory. Opening a large textile factory can also make money. Also, it can also build railways and railway operations. Isn't it also income? Seeing that adults are always concerned about arms, machinery and equipment construction, and foreign money... Isn't it a pity for me to waste this kind of learning..."

Xu Yifan was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhan Tianyou, and slowly started to laugh.
To be continued...
