In the first year of Xuantong, on the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raised its head and the wind was gentle and the sun was beautiful.

In the imperial guard's school ground, flags were fluttering, and everyone was waiting in full formation.

Early in the morning, the senior generals of the Imperial Guard came to the Prince's Mansion one after another to welcome the new commander Aisin Gioro Shouyuan.

Shouyuan just realized today why nobles value power more than anything else. It feels really good! Think about it, you just got up early in the morning and opened the bedroom door, and you saw a senior man with many stars hanging on his shoulders.

The general is waiting for you at the door. I am afraid that Liu Bang would say: "This is what a real man should do!"

No wonder some people say that men cannot live without power for a day, and no wonder that countless people degenerate when they have power. If power is not put in a cage, things that endanger the country and the people will happen sooner or later.

Surrounded by everyone, Shouyuan rode his horse to the school field. As soon as he stepped onto the reviewing stand, the soldiers on the field shouted in unison:

"Hello, Your Majesty!"

Shouyuan looked at the Imperial Guards on the field, and the information he had asked for from Evergreen came to mind. The Imperial Guards were established in 1907, which was the 33rd year of Guangxu's reign. The officers and soldiers were all born in the Eight Banners, with a quota of 12,512 people, composed of infantry and horsemen.

, artillery, engineering, baggage and other arms are composed of commanders and leaders. The towns are divided into association, standard, battalion, team, platoon and shed. The divisions are led by association commander, standard commander, pipe leader, team officer, platoon leader and chief and deputy commander.

.

Its treatment in all aspects is much higher than that of the new armies across the country. This army is apprenticed to Germany from head to toe. The Qing government hopes that this army can cultivate the military strength of the Manchus and control it through this army.

Other armies, apparently this army is the best army in the Qing Dynasty. If nothing else happens, this army will gradually become the cradle of the backbone generals of the national army.

However, if there is no accident, there will be an accident. Now, there is not much time left for the Qing Dynasty.

Shouyuan did not speak, but went to find a soldier and asked him to hand over the gun. Shouyuan took the gun. Yes, the rifles used elsewhere were imitations of the German 1888-type Commission rifles, commonly known as Hanyang, while the Imperial Guards used

Imported original goods, German Type 1898, which is the prototype of the famous 98k, is also equipped with dozens of Maxim machine guns, with enough ammunition tubes, not to mention the most advanced artillery in Asia at the time, equipped with 18 150mm field combat guns

gun.

To tell a joke, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, they found that the weapons in the Qing army's arsenal were better than those of the Allied forces. They even found telegraph machines. Many weapons that the Allied forces had not popularized were equipped by the Qing army, but when they went to the battlefield,

There is no need to see the enemy. As long as they hear the sound of foreign artillery, the Qing army will disperse, but the Boxers who are being exploited will live and die in vain.

Shouyuan pulled the bolt of the gun. Well, the rifling was brand new and there was no wear at all. Shouyuan touched it with his gloves again. Yes, there was no oil stain on the gloves! It was great!

Shouyuan once again asked a junior platoon leader to take off his walking boots. Everyone was extremely confused, what kind of hobby is this?

The platoon leader hesitated, and Shouyuan suddenly shouted: "Hurry up! Take it off!"

The platoon leader took off his military boots. Shouyuan looked at the soles. They were good. They took up a lot of dust. He looked at the edges. They were good. They were new and not much worn. So he gave them back to the platoon leader and asked, "How about these boots?"

How long?"

The platoon leader smiled and said: "It was issued last year."

Shouyuan smiled and nodded, praising again and again: "Not bad! My colleagues have led very good soldiers! Shouldn't this be a good reward?"

The officers on the stage laughed, and Shouyuan walked back to the reviewing stand with a smile.

Haha, cough, hahahaha!

Shouyuan turned around and faced all the soldiers, his face suddenly changed: "You still have the nerve to laugh!"

Shouyuan continued: "It's been a year. These military boots have been issued for a year. Look, they are still as good as new! The rifling of the gun is not worn at all! I think the court should really give you an arms protection award?"

"

Yi Xietong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, your words are serious, this is what it should be!"

Shouyuan stared at the speaker and asked, "How many days do our Imperial Guards practice?"

Liangbi, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, came out and gave a standard military salute and said: "Go back to the commander-in-chief and practice every three days!"

Shouyuan couldn't help but take a high look at Liang Bi, who was the most military-like politician present. Then he asked, "What kind of training are you doing?"

Liangbi replied: "Queue, shooting, horse fighting, formation."

Shouyuan said sarcastically: "I've learned so many subjects and you just practiced a queue, right?"

The place was completely silent for a moment, and now everyone could see that this new boss was going to set things off.

Shouyuan quickly selected ten soldiers at random and asked these soldiers to practice target.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After several gunshots, Shouyuan shouted: "Report the target!"

"Ring 0!" "Ring 0!" "Ring 0!" "Ring 0!" "Ring 0!" "Ring 0!" "Ring 0!" "Ring 0!" "Ring 0!" "Ring 0!"

Shouyuan laughed again, and then directly pointed at the senior generals: "How many shots did you shoot with the pistol?"

A general with a big beer belly said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the German's gun is very good, but it is not suitable for the Qing Dynasty. Besides, it is too cold today, so it is difficult to aim."

Shouyuan roared directly: "The foreigners are coming. You told the foreigners that it is too cold today and we will fight another day? Are you trying to be a master?"

"Fight! If you don't fight, don't blame me for being unkind!"

All the commanders and commanders fired their guns one after another, and the results after reporting the target were as follows:

0 rings, 0 rings, 0 rings, 0 rings, 0 rings, 0 rings, 0 rings, 0 rings, 0 rings, 6 rings.

When the last six rings were heard, the soldiers actually burst into cheers!

Shouyuan's face turned livid: "Who got the 6th ring?"

Liangbi came out and said: "I am reporting to the capital, and my subordinates fought."

At this time, a fat Xiongtong spoke: "Dutong, you can also take a shot!"

Other Xie Tong and Biao Tong started to boo, and then the Imperial Guards on the field also started to boo, but Liang Bi remained silent.

Okay, this is a show of strength for me, not bad!

Shouyuan pulled out his pistol and fired three shots into the sky: "What's the fuss about? Do you look like an army?"

The imperial guards were silent, and Shouyuan asked the co-tender: "What is your name?"

"Hahan Zhang!"

Shouyuan nodded, took the soldier's gun, stood on the platform and fired five shots in a row.

"Target report!"

"Ten rings! Ten rings! Ten rings! Ten rings! Ten rings~!"

After seeing the results, all the senior generals fell silent. Shouyuan ignored the insects standing on the stage and said to the soldiers in the audience: "I was lucky enough to study in the Japanese Military Academy for two years, because Ama was seriously ill.

, had no choice but to drop out of school, but fortunately the regent trusted me and all the imperial guards were unified. I only have three things to do here!"

After scanning the soldiers in the audience from front to back, he continued:

"That is, win the war! Win the war! Or fucking win the war!"

"From today on, all actions have only one purpose, and that is to win the war! If the army cannot win the war, why does the court support you? Why do the people support you? Ah! I heard about the glorious deeds of the Imperial Guard during my period of mourning.

!”

"We Imperial Guards are all great men! We can use two guns! One musket and one pipe! The Yang family generals are not as good as you!"

Some soldiers in the audience laughed out loud, and Shouyuan felt even more angry: "Still laughing? Is it funny? Do you know what a soldier is? Normally, soldiers are just the railings on the ship, and the common people cannot feel it, but when

When the people need it, we can play an important role! In wartime, soldiers are like the city wall, using their body as a wall to block the flames of war where the people cannot see it!"

At this time, most of the Imperial Guards in the audience didn't care. It was terrible! Everyone was here to make a fortune.

Desperate? Doesn’t exist!

Honor? What is that?

Can I exchange money?
