At 1 a.m., the carriage finally swayed to its destination. It was July 1st. The lunar calendar was the seventh day of the fifth lunar month. The moon was already half circle. Just by the vague moonlight, Yang Rui saw a Western-style castle, which was probably their manor. On the west side of the castle, several rows of houses were built on the grassland and surrounded by squares, but this square was a gap. It only had three sides. Two sides had been built, and the other side seemed to be still tiling. These houses were not Western-style flat roofs, but with large roofs in southern China. Looking along the playground, there seemed to be some training equipment on the side that was not built, such as horizontal bars, low walls, etc.

The lights were lit one after another, and then the houses in the west were lit one after another. Yang Rui still didn't learn geography well. He thought that this place was the hottest in summer and the coldest winter. Who knew that July in the southern hemisphere was the lowest temperature and the coldest at night, only more than ten degrees. According to the teacher's order, the students only brought summer clothes, so it was cold enough. Everyone squeezed in the carriage and didn't feel it. After getting off the carriage, they kept making noises. Yang Rui scolded himself for being stupid, and he didn't know why he didn't ask. Hey, it was too natural. Fortunately, the manor was well prepared, the beds were already laid, and everyone had hot water to take a bath. Yang Rui asked Lao Liu to cook some ginger soup immediately. The journey was exhausted and now he caught a cold. In addition, the weather was not suitable for the environment, and the chance of getting sick was too high. Lao Liu dared not be negligent, and knew that he was careless and went there hurriedly.

The owner of the manor also appeared. He was a short and chubby beard wearing pajamas. He was not as serious as Leo. He smiled gentlemanly and greeted him in German with an accent. He said that his name was Christian and welcomed Yang Rui and others very much. Yang Rui called several student team leaders and announced the arrangements for tomorrow, that is, getting up at 10 o'clock, lunch at 12 o'clock, and having a meeting at 1:00 p.m. Then he took advantage of the students' bath to discuss tomorrow's arrangements with Leo. Students eight

There were six rooms in total. Yang Rui did not accept Christian's invitation to sleep in the manor. His explanation was that he wanted to be with the students. They would feel very uneasy when they came and they had to accompany him. So he made a high and low bed and slept next to the students. The quilt was made of new cotton, which was very warm and the bed was soft. Although it was already on the land, Yang Rui still felt the bed shaking, and he fell asleep in this virtual shaking.

After sleeping all night, it was almost ten o'clock when they woke up again. Yang Rui hurriedly got up and went out, but the students were all getting up. Leo and Christian were distributing clothes to the students lined up. Yang Rui looked carefully but looked like the British army's red uniform. Christian said proudly: "This is what we seized. Those stupid Saxon bastards can't fight at all. In Nicholson, I beat them around and run away." It seemed as if I had returned to the time of victory. His beard was shaking and his face was blushing. He patted a student's thin shoulders vigorously and said: "Study hard and kill those Saxon bastards."

After a month of German learning on the boat, students could basically guess the meaning of his previous sentence through a few familiar words. They stood up straight with a less standard and shouted loudly: "Jawohl!"

Christian was very happy and said to Yang Rui: "Your students are excellent, which is different from the rumors I have heard. And they don't have pig tails behind their heads."

The student asked was named Wang Menghui. His family was from Wuxi, Jiangsu. Like other students, he reduced his braids when he refused Russia. When he returned from the Dragon Boat Festival, he was very frightened by the elders. His father locked him in the attic and no longer allowed him to go back to Shanghai to mingle with the rioters. In the end, he jumped out with the help of his servants. Although he injured his feet, he still rushed to Shanghai before driving. He crossed the ocean and arrived at this Kunlun slave land. He was disappointed when he saw the simple and dilapidated military academy. During the day, Yang Rui found that the house he lived in last night was not a tiled house, but a thatched hut, and the walls were also earthen walls.

.It is probably time is tight, and Leo had no choice but to use local natives to build houses to build dormitories and classrooms. After that, the military academy was called Lorenzo Maguis Military Academy in writing, but in the army it was commonly known as the hut military academy. However, when he saw these seized British military uniforms and some other military supplies, he was full of respect for the military academy. The Boer War had little impact in China, and the students did not know that this war that caused the British Empire to decline from prosperity. They only knew that among the great powers, Britain was the world's largest power, and they could learn the military tactics of defeating the world's largest power. In the future, China's prosperity was expected and they were full of energy.

Yang Rui didn't know what Wang Menghui was thinking, so he just nodded to him in praise and let him go down. Then he came to the manor with them. The manor was European-style, and the conference hall on the side of the hall was full of people. These people were instructors of the military academy in the future. Leo introduced these people to Yang Rui one by one. From a professional perspective, these people could form an army, infantry, artillery, cavalry, engineers, surveying, baggage, military supplies, and military doctors. They all graduated from regular military academy and retired from active troops and responded to the call of the German Emperor to help the Boers, but were eventually the German Emperor.

Betrayal, after the war, they did not return to Germany, nor went to the German West African colony, but just stayed in Lorenzo Maguis. Christian was a quarres-in-arms. He used the gold he got from the war to buy the manor from an old Portuguese rich man and continued to expand it, expanding the pasture to the border of Swaziland. Mozambique has always been a colony of Portugal, but its management is very slack. Lorenzo Maguis has only been paid attention to by colonists in recent years. The manor is an independent kingdom, and you can do anything in it, as long as you remember to pay taxes.

One year after the war, everyone's war trauma had almost recovered. Just as they were about to do something, they were just living their lives quietly on the farm, Leo's telegram made everyone busy. Although everyone hated political wars, all the soldiers were very interested in the war itself. Schroeder, a cavalry officer, was still writing a cavalry textbook. The proposal of this military academy was praised by everyone, not to mention that someone paid for the school.

Yang Rui didn't say much, and then discussed the course setting for the study with everyone. Like Leo, everyone thought that the eight-month study period would not be qualified. They agreed that at least three years of study would be required to make the students basically qualified. Yang Rui could not directly object to their opinions. He said: "Gentlemen, I admire your rigorous and pragmatic style and fully agree with your views on the students' study time. But I have a better proposal. Why do we arrange the students like this? They learn basic military skills for eight months, and then return to China for an internship in the war for about one year, and then come back here to continue their studies. I think that those who cannot produce excellent generals in school can only become famous generals on the battlefield."

Yang Rui's words calmed down the noisy room. He continued: "If time goes back decades ago, in the German War of Unification, you are a cadet in a military academy. In the shortage of front-line officers, can you study with peace of mind in the military academy? Soldiers are destined to sacrifice for their country, even if they are not ready. Now, next year, in Northeast China, Russia and Saxon thugs Japan, the Russian and Saxon thugs, will have a large-scale war to seize their respective interests in the Northeast. As a soldier, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to this, and it is impossible to study with peace of mind in the military academy. Joining the war is inevitable, sacrifice is the right thing to do, and living is a gift from God..."

It was soon lunch time, and after lunch in the school building, Renn came over while preparing for the afternoon meeting. He said, "Yang, you convinced everyone that this was something I could not do before, but everyone has to spend time recreating the lesson plan, which will take about several days. The students also need to strengthen their German learning, otherwise class will be a big trouble."

Yang Rui was not happy to convince these old-fashioned Germans. He was very worried about the students' German. Although everyone now has hundreds of words and can have simple conversations, language is still a big problem when it comes to class. If it really doesn't work, you have to fully translate the textbooks of each subject. During the afternoon meeting, Yang Rui kept emphasizing the urgency of time and the importance of language. In order to let the students better understand, he asked someone to set up a countdown card in front of the classroom. The deadline for the time was February 29, 1904, and the timing card started from 243 days.

Yang Rui's eagerness quickly made the students crazy. Even the rigorous Germans accelerated the preparation of lesson plans and prepared the opening ceremony on July 5. The formal class will start on Monday, July 6. Compared with the students, Yang Rui's busiest part is completely left to Christian's wife to manage. Yang Rui's main job is to teach students German, and translate Chinese lesson plans for various courses to explain some vocabulary they don't understand. Although German has become very smooth after so long communication with Leo, it still makes him a headache to deal with German with various accents and uncommon military German. Every day he struggles in these unfamiliar German-speaking worlds.

But soon, a telegram from Wang Jitong led him out of this struggle - something big happened in Shanghai!

The telegram was too short, and it only said: the case happened, Zhang Zou and others were detained, the school was sealed, Cai Wu, Huang and Chen were detained, and they were afraid of extradition, so what. In just a dozen words, Yang Rui immediately jumped up and wandered around the house. What case did you see Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong being detained, probably it was the last book "Revolutionary Army". Now he remembered that when he was studying history, the two most famous revolutionary books, "Revolutionary Army" and "Look Back", he only remembered the works of "Revolutionary Army"

The author is Chen Tianhua, but I don’t remember that it was Zou Rong! He seems to be only eighteen years old. They were arrested, so he probably was wanted. Thinking of the advertisement Zhang Taiyan made for the Fuxing Club in the preface, the Fuxing Club is now famous all over the world. After Yang Rui was happy, he was worried again, thinking that Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong were in prison, and the Qing court was trying to extradite him. Once extraditioned, he would definitely die without a burial place. He wanted to do something.

Calm down, Yang Rui thought deeply that the extradition of the Qing court must be allowed by the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Works will be guided by mainstream rhetoric such as English newspapers. Europe and the United States claim to be civilized people, and reporting on the barbarity of the Qing court can make these civilized people make civilized decisions, and then they can only find ways through Rutte. As for the school society being sealed, the society may not be settled. Those students who are willing to revolution come here, and those who are unwilling to revolution will be arranged to teach in instrument halls and factories, or study in Germany. Rutte promised to apply for scholarships for international students. Yang Rui quickly drafted two telegrams, one for Wang Jitong and the other from Wang Jitong to Rutte. After the drafting was completed, Leo immediately asked someone to go to the Lorenzo Maguis Telegraph Office to shoot and send these two.

On July 7, the anxious Wang Jitong finally waited for Yang Rui's call. After receiving it, he immediately discussed the specific methods with Zhong Guanguang. After reading the telegram, Zhong Guanguang said: "Jingcheng gave three strategies in the telegram, one was to mobilize newspaper public opinion, and the other was to internal public relations. This was done. The third was to hire a foreign lawyer, but he asked Uncle Mei and Wei Dan and others to cooperate with lawyers. I know the last two, how to mobilize the public opinion of the newspaper in front?"

Wang Jitong didn't understand this, so he thought for a while and said, "It's better to discuss it with everyone in the evening. But you shouldn't come forward. You are related to the factory behind it. Once the factory is confiscated, there is no money to talk about the revolution. The Qing court must be closely monitoring us, and I guess we want to catch all of them in one go. As for those students, let's live in the physics and chemistry school in the instrument hall first, don't go to the factory first."

Zhong Guanguang knew that Wang Jitong had always been careful, and the chlor-alkali factory had just tried production and was very busy, so he agreed with his opinion. After the incident, the school society was blocked and the school society had no leader. Cai Yuanpei had been angry because the school society and the Education Association split in June. He went to Qingdao and prepared to study abroad. By chance, he escaped this disaster. Wu Jingheng was not arrested. After staying in Shanghai for a few days, he went to Hong Kong. Only Jiang Weiqiao and Ye Han were left in the education association, but they had little influence on the students. Wang Jitong had spoken to the students and wanted to take in students, but he was not motivated. Some of the students left were mainly some of them going to Zhendan University in Ma Xiangbo, and some with Huang Zongyang, newspaper owner Chen Fan and others. Finally, Wang Jitong played Yang Rui's sign, and then took in the remaining students and arranged them all in the student dormitory of the Instrument Museum first.

In the evening, Wang Jitong, Jiang Weiqiao, Ye Han, Zhang Ji, Zhang Shizhao, Chen Youji, Jin Tianhong, Wu Junsui and others gathered together with the instrument hall to discuss rescue. Zhang Ji, Chen Youji was expelled and returned by the Qing ambassador to Japan, and Zhang Shizhao was the editor-in-chief of Suzhou Daily. Jin Tianhong and Wu Junsui were both literati and friends of Zhang Taiyan. Wang Jitong was not good at taking out the telegram and said: "There are three strategies that may be able to save everyone. One is to ask a foreign lawyer to respond, the other is to support the lawsuit, and the third is to create public opinion and refuse the extradition of the Qing court. The first two strategies have been handled, but how to create public opinion should be done, and you still have to discuss it."

Jiang Weiqiao agreed with Wang Jitong's countermeasures and said: "I think this creates public opinion and must be familiar with the editors and reporters of major newspapers. Although major newspapers do not agree with extradition now, they are afraid that the newspaper's remarks will disappear over time."

"I think we can find some examples of the Qing court's trials being disregarded by human life, and then find foreign reporters to report it. This will make public opinion a big uproar, and newspapers also like to increase sales." Ye Han said that he is older than Jiang Weiqiao. Although he is a scholar, he also knows some human relationships and worldly ways.

Zhang Shizhao also knew that the key to saving people was to not be extradited by the Qing court. As long as it was extraditioned, everything would be over. "But we didn't know so many editors for a while, reporters. What should we do?"
