Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Xu Zhijing told Kang Youwei not to be impatient, and then he replied slowly: "The emperor said that he has handed over the reform memorial you wrote to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager has no opinion."

The madman Kang Youwei immediately said pleasantly: "It seems that the time is ripe, and the time for success is not far away. Brother Zijing, I have something to add fuel to the fire and promote the emperor's reform."

Xu Zhijing opened his eyes wide, and asked curiously: "What can have such an effect?"

Kang Youwei gritted his teeth and said, "I received a message that not long ago, some French soldiers in the Tianjin Concession wandered into a temple of the Confucian saint. Two big holes were poked in the eyes, and one of the saint's arms was broken. This is simply an insult to us saints by foreigners, and it is even an insult to us saints' children. Why do foreigners dare to destroy my holy religion? Xiao, if we don’t stand up again, Confucianism will perish and the country will perish, and only the reform can make China stronger, so that we will no longer be bullied by Western powers.”

Xu Zhijing was furious when he heard the words: "Foreigners are simply deceiving people too much. I will definitely ask the emperor to call the British envoy to question the British court tomorrow. If the British don't give an apology, don't think we will let it go."

Kang Youwei agreed: "Nowadays there are many Juren in the capital who are waiting for the next year's examination. I will spread the news tomorrow to attract their attention, gather everyone's strength, and make the matter big enough to reach the higher authorities. Let the emperor understand that the current situation cannot be changed."

In the next day, Kang Youwei wrote an article on the matter and distributed it among the juren who came to Beijing. The news spread, and there was a bus jam in front of the imperial court's Metropolitan Procuratorate. Within a few days, many juren wrote to the imperial court, demanding The court compromised on the matter.At the same time, many officials also submitted memorials, asking Guangxu to carry out reforms and reforms, and the momentum for reforms and reforms became huge all of a sudden. Those who play with birds and walk dogs have a little more talk.

Of course, although Ye Zhikui in Tianjin heard the news, he had no time to take care of the excitement in the capital, because he was really angry now, and the consequences would be serious!

Originally, I was in a good mood today, and it was the Chinese New Year. Of course, Ye Zhikui wanted to happily spend his first year after coming to the Qing Dynasty, but this mood only lasted until the afternoon.The general office of the Law Enforcement and Battalion Office Bao BuTong unexpectedly sent news that more than a dozen soldiers fought on the streets of Tianjin and were seriously injured and brought back.

Ye Zhikui was very angry and had to rush back to the barracks.As soon as he entered the medical office, the grunting soldiers lying on the bed were struggling to get up and salute. Ye Zhikui's face was gloomy, he restrained him with his hands, and asked slightly angrily, "Whose soldiers are you all? Why? It will be like this!"

The soldiers all bowed their heads in shame, and one of the veterans replied: "Back to Ye Shao, the younger ones are all soldiers under Wu Dashan and Wu Tong's command, because today they fought with soldiers from the Dingwu Army on the streets of Tianjin." The quarrel eventually turned into this."

Ye Zhikui was furious, and cursed: "You are all idiots, are you all soft-footed crabs? You violated the military regulations and were beaten like this. Are we Wu Yijun all trash like you?"

At this moment, Wu Dashan had already received the news and led a group of battalion and team officers to rush over. Just in time to hear Ye Zhikui scolding trash, he rushed forward with his face flushed and slapped the slightly injured soldiers.

Ye Zhikui scolded softly: "Enough, Dashan, you are also an old man with me for a long time, and I, Ye Zhikui, will not be safe if I take a vacation, so you bastards are full of food, and you violated the military regulations. What should I do?"

Wu Dashan knelt down, and all the officials who came in with him were also frightened by Ye Zhikui. Wu Dashan said seriously: "This subordinate is not strict with his subordinates, and he is willing to be punished. These soldiers are all veterans of the Huyong Army. , I also hope that Ye Shaokan will give them a lighter punishment for their injuries."

Ye Zhikui's eyes turned cold, and he said: "You should be punished for making mistakes, but before you Wu Dashan is punished, you have to think about what to do. We Wu Yijun have only bullied others, and have never been bullied by others. Wu Dashan Do you want me to teach you how to do it?"

Wu Dashan stood up suddenly, and said murderously: "This subordinate knows how to do it! Do it right away."

Ye Zhikui waved his hand and said with a blank expression: "Okay, you go down first, if you embarrass Wu Yijun again, don't come back to see me. Also, don't talk about Huyongjun in the future, everyone is Wu Yijun now, you know !"

Wu Dashan withdrew in response. Ye Zhikui was very troubled by the vaguely formed Huyong faction, Nie Shicheng faction, and Armed Forces Academy faction in the army. It seemed that in the future, more social activities should be held to deepen exchanges, and the army should not be allowed to go on like this. .

After Wu Dashan returned to the camp, he angrily summoned all the soldiers who stayed in the camp. Without saying a word, each of them took a wooden stick and went straight to the small station where Yuan Shikai's Dingwu army was stationed.

Chapter 53 How Arrogance Is Made

At the small station in Tianjin, Yuan Shikai also gave his soldiers a few days off because of the New Year’s Day. The German instructor who had just entered the Dingwu Army did not understand the Chinese way of time, so he asked Yuan Shikai, "Yuan, is a day a day?"

Yuan Shikai replied: "Yes, a day is a day."

Yuan Shikai threw a big banquet in order to win people's hearts, and invited a large group of subordinates, such as Xu Shichang, Jiang Guiti, Ren Yongqing, Zhang Xun, Liu Yongqing, Wu Changchun, Wu Fengling, Jiang Chaozong, etc., and Yuan Shikai just bought it not far from the small station barracks. Drinking and having fun in the mansion.

It's a pity that the weather is not good, and Xiao Yuan is doomed to be a tragedy today. When everyone was drinking happily, Wang Tongyu, the leader of the barracks who stayed behind, ran in in a panic.

Yuan Shikai was also a little drunk, and when he saw Wang Tongyu, he smiled and said, "It's Tongyu, it's just in time, come here, take a seat, and drink!"

Wang Tongyu knelt down first, and quickly said: "Yuan Shuai, something is wrong, Ye Zhikui's men have come to kill you."

Yuan Shikai was shocked, half sober from the wine, and asked: "What's the matter?" Everyone who was drinking and guessing the game also stopped making noise, and looked at Wang Tongyu with their eyes.

Wang Tongyu wiped off his sweat, and replied pantingly: "The details are not known yet, but it is a fact that a group of Wu Yi soldiers rushed into our barracks with long sticks and big sticks."

Xu Shichang frowned, and interjected beside him: "Weiting, we'd better hurry over and see the situation clearly."

Yuan Shikai had exactly the same intention, so a large group of drunks rode their horses towards the barracks after a while.

Dingwu army barracks at the small station, Wu Yijun led Wu Dashan and more than 500 veterans, riding tall horses, roaring, the momentum was extremely loud, and the sound of thunderous hooves could be heard from a long distance. , and stopped still with a beep, it can be said that he is proficient in bowing and horses. When the order was prohibited, Wu Dashan pulled the rein and stepped forward and shouted at the soldiers guarding the gate: "Where is the camp of your Dingwu Army cavalry?" He was injured by the cavalry of the Dingwu Army, that's why Wu Dashan asked.

Xiao Bing had just joined the army and ate this bowl of rice not long ago. He had never seen such a situation before. He pointed tremblingly at the tent not far away, and stammered, "If... if you want to return to the adults, it's... over there!" One day the soldier cried and wanted to go home.

Wu Dashan didn't bother to embarrass the little soldiers. He gave an order, and 500 troops rushed into the gate of the camp in an instant. There were still many soldiers in the Dingwu army barracks. Hearing such a sound, they all ran out of the barracks to watch the excitement. When they went out to have a look, Seeing the sergeants of Wu Yi Army neatly and murderously fixed on the playground outside the barracks, they were all frightened and did not dare to move a little bit, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. These rookies who have just joined the army, where can they see blood like they have been on the battlefield? Compared with the old soldiers, he lost a lot in terms of momentum alone.

Wu Dashan rode straight to the gate of the largest barracks of the Dingwu Army cavalry, picked up the sledgehammer he was carrying, and hammered a few times at the big pillars at the door. He only heard the sound of creaking, and the barracks showed signs of collapsing. The people inside heard the sound, and the soldiers who didn't know the situation ran out in a panic.

Wu Dashan saw that the people came out about the same, and there were probably four hundred or so people standing under him with uncertain expressions, but no one dared to step forward to ask, so he shouted loudly: "You group of bird people, today is the time for you!" Who the hell? Wounded my Wu Yijun brother in Tianjin, if you stand up and admit your mistake, you can be punished lightly."

The soldiers of the cavalry looked at each other left and right, silently yelling in their hearts: Who the hell has provoked such a evil star that even our tents will be demolished.Seeing that he was almost the biggest official here, the first sentry officer had no choice but to stand up and respond: "My lord, please calm down, we can discuss things, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea to relieve your anger, and then we will investigate slowly. how?"

Wu Dashan opened his eyes, and said angrily: "Fuck your mother, I didn't run so far to drink tea and wine with you! Stop talking nonsense, or hurry up and hand over someone, or..." Wu Dashan twitched He turned around and asked the soldiers behind him loudly: "Brothers, what do you think should be done?"

The Wu Yi soldiers behind him roared in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Wu Dashan raised his hand, stopped shouting, glared at the sentry officer, and said, "Have you heard the voices of our brothers?"

The sentry officer secretly wiped off his sweat, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, please wait a moment, the young general will hand you over immediately." Then he stood in front and said angrily: "Whoever of you offended Wu Yijun's brother today, stand up and complain to him immediately." This lord kowtows to admit his mistake, otherwise the crime will be aggravated in the future, hurry up, who is it!"

Among the cavalry, there were more than forty soldiers who fought with Wu Yijun today. There is a dead heart.Seeing the sentry officer's questioning, he looked ahead at the murderous Wu Yijun again. Can this situation be solved by kowtow and pleading guilty?Frankly sitting in prison, resisting strictness to go home for the New Year, there are still many people who still have the courage to stand up, but there are many people who shrink back and hide quietly.

Seeing that he had called for a long time but no one answered, the sentry officer couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and when he turned around and saw Wu Dashan staring straight at him with tiger eyes, he couldn't help being heartbroken, and said in a panic and fear: "My lord, what is this?" ..., this has nothing to do with the last general." After the sentry officer finished speaking, he ran to the side at the speed of a Boeing 747.

Wu Dashan got impatient for a long time. Seeing this situation, he waved his hand and shouted: "Since no one dares to stand up, brothers, let me do it, and let them see how powerful our Wu Yi army is. The birds are comparable, come on, just give them their last breath."

After finishing speaking, Wu Dashan rushed towards the cavalry soldiers of the Dingwu Army at the head of the horse. Only then did the soldiers come to their senses. Seeing Wu Yijun fighting like tigers out of the cage, they screamed in fright. There are those who pour urine and feces, there are also those who are timid and wretched and run around, and there are also those who bravely stepped forward to stand up and resist.It’s just that how can these recruits compare with the Wu Dashan tribe who broke through from the sea of ​​corpses and blood? After a while, the people in the cavalry of the Dingwu Army were all beaten up with bruised noses and swollen faces, crying ghosts and wolves, or lying on the ground whimpering. Or just kneel down and beg for mercy one by one.But the soldiers of other battalions in the Dingwu Army were pointing and pointing from a long distance away, and some were even talking and laughing loudly, showing no signs of stepping forward to help.

This is what Xiao Yuan saw when he led a group of generals into the camp, and he couldn't help saying angrily: "Stop this general! Who gave you the courage to come here to act wildly!"

When the soldiers in other barracks saw Xiao Yuan leading his superiors back to the camp, they all snorted into the tent and disappeared into the vast crowd to avoid getting burned. Only the cavalry soldiers lying on the ground and Wu Dashan's arrogant team were left.

Wu Dashan had already heard Yuan Shikai's shouts, but he pretended not to hear them. He commanded the soldiers to drill the soldiers of the Dingwu Army again, and then slowly gathered the troops, and suddenly rushed towards Yuan Shikai and others.

Yuan Shikai's complexion couldn't help changing drastically. What do these people want to do? Do they want to rebel?While hastily ordering several generals to return to the camp to gather troops, he couldn't help but secretly be on guard, ready to flee at any time.

Wu Yi's soldiers and horses were like thunder, and they went straight not far from Yuan Shikai and others. After he could clearly see the panic in their eyes, Wu Dashan gave an order and suddenly stopped the soldiers and horses.This move was extremely beautiful, only to scare all the generals and officials sober up more than half of their wine.

Before the ashen-faced Yuan Shikai could ask a question, Wu Dashan yelled loudly, preemptively saying: "Who are you, dare to prevent me from arresting the criminals who attacked our Wu Yi army soldiers."

After Yuan Shikai heard this, his nose was almost crooked. He looked at the soldiers lying on the ground, and thought to himself, do you look like you are arresting criminals?However, he hadn't fully figured out the reason, so he could only say: "I am Yuan Shikai, the commander of the Dingwu Army. If you have no way to rule, break into the barracks privately and fight with weapons in vain, aren't you afraid that the court will blame you and punish you!"

Wu Dashan yelled: "I'm not scared by Wu Yijun, don't say anything here and there, I only know that your soldiers injured my soldiers, so you decide what to do!"

When Yuan Shikai heard this, the villain would file a complaint first, and if he could bear it, he would explode.

The Huai Army veteran Ren Yong, who was leading the cavalry next to him, learned the ins and outs of the matter from the sentry officer early in the morning. He first ordered the people from the Military Medical Bureau to come forward for treatment, and then stepped forward and said, "Weiting, let's calm down first and make the big thing smaller. Now that Ye Zhikui is powerful, and this matter seems to be our fault, if it becomes a big deal, neither you nor Ye Zhikui will benefit. Moreover, such a shameful thing should not be publicized."

Xu Shichang also stepped forward to persuade him: "Weiting, how can you be brave enough to do big things, the person opposite is just a fool at first glance, why bother to be as knowledgeable as him, it will make me very angry."

Yuan Shikai had no choice but to swallow his anger, and said with an angry face: "My soldiers beat your soldiers, and now your soldiers are also fighting my soldiers, so let's stop today's business and don't owe each other!"

Wu Dashan pouted, hummed and said, "You're still sensible, like a human being, otherwise I'd even beat you up, forget it, I got into a bad fight today, and I feel a lot more comfortable, brothers, let's go !" The 500 people roared away arrogantly, before leaving, Wu Dashan didn't know whether it was on purpose or not, he threw a hammer on the pillar of the tent, the tent finally couldn't bear it and collapsed.

Yuan Shikai heard what Wu Dashan said when he left, and looked at the collapsed tent, his lungs were so angry that he was about to explode, and his face flickered. Fortunately, he was quite deep in the city, and finally heaved a long sigh, and sent orders to deal with the follow-up matters .

However, after hearing the report from his subordinates, Yuan Shikai was so angry that he learned that there were two or three thousand people in the camp standing aside to watch the excitement, and broke two or three teacups.
