Rebirth of the Northern Giants

There were more than 150 members of the personal army, and only about [-] people survived. Ye Zhikui saw the corpses neatly arranged in the mourning hall, and the familiar faces flashed by one by one. His face turned livid and his eyes were red. They are all loyal to Ye Zhikui, the closest generation, and he can name any one of them, and tell his hometown.

In this era, personal soldiers are like brothers and sisters. How many generals have come from the main general's personal team, and how many confidantes have served as the general's personal guards. It can be said that any one of them is an elite and can stand alone. Everyone has the possibility of becoming a general, but now, but here is the loss, Ye Zhikui's heart is pierced.

"Go, bring up the sneak attacking German army." Ye Zhikui ordered, suppressing his voice as much as possible.

But Wang Yingkai still saw from Ye Zhikui's calm voice that the storm was coming, he didn't dare to stay for a while, and immediately ordered someone to bring out Federet and others.

Federer and other German troops were soon escorted by sergeants. He looked shrunken and depressed, and lowered his head. When he saw Ye Zhikui and the soldiers of the Wuyi Army on the mourning hall, he seemed to understand something.

"Ye, long time no see!" Federe greeted Ye Zhikui in German without any anger in his voice.

Ye Zhikui's pupils shrank, and he said in a low voice, "It's you, Federer, you shouldn't have come to China."

Federer chuckled lightly and said, "A soldier's bounden duty is to obey orders. From the moment I was in China, I was ready to sacrifice. I don't regret it. I just blame my bad luck for not killing you."

Ye Zhikui sighed softly, and said: "China has its own rules. Since ancient times, killing people pays for their lives, and blood debts are paid with blood. Do you have any last words?"

Federer shook his head and said with a smile: "Ye, you and I are friends, and I don't feel humiliated to die by your hands!"

"So, I'm sorry, friend!" Ye Zhikui took a big knife.

The sergeant escorting Federe tried his best to make him kneel down, but Federer stiffened his knees and stared at Ye Zhikui, but refused to kneel.

Ye Zhikui stopped the sergeant and said slowly, "Let him die standing up, he is a real soldier."

The surrounding sergeants stopped exerting their strength, Federer closed his eyes serenely, his heart was calm, Ye Zhikui took a step forward, with a swing of the sword, Federer's head was sliced ​​off, and his bones rolled on the ground, blood sprayed high.

After Ye Zhikui killed Federe, he knelt down in the mourning hall, and the soldiers around him also knelt down.

Ye Zhikui picked up a jar of strong wine, took a sip, then fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face, and said softly, "Brothers, I, Ye Zhikui, have avenged you today."

Then he shouted loudly: "Spray tears to sacrifice to the heroes, raise eyebrows and draw swords out of their sheaths; the fertile soil of the Central Plains, the soul dances in Jiugai; the heroic spirits are in the world, beating the drums that shake the demons. Brothers, rest in peace!"

Xiao Chong is not strong today!Brothers and sisters, let's see how strong you are!

Chapter 87: The Battle for Fame and Fortune

After paying homage to the soldiers of the Wu Yi Army who died in battle, Nie Shicheng, Ye Zhikui and other troops pressed forward, planning to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the German army in Qingdao, hoping to end this anti-aggression war as soon as possible.

The news of the annihilation of the German army led by Federer was sent back to the German headquarters in Qingdao. The commander-in-chief of the German invasion of China, Dietrich, ordered Captain An Meng to guard against death and prepare for a decisive battle. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the country, hoping that the Kaiser If you can make preparations for peace talks, once the war is unfavorable, you can try to maintain your interests in China through diplomatic channels.

The Kaiser read the telegram and remained silent for a long time. Could it be that the sleeping lions in the East have begun to wake up, and the days when Western countries can conquer cities and conquer territories with one or two cannons in China are gone forever?

Wu Yi's army and the Shandong defenders captured Fushan, annihilated more than 100 German troops, and captured more than [-] German troops. The record was sent back to the imperial court, which caused a sensation in the court. Qing officials rushed to tell each other. Instead of fighting with each other, they turned to celebrate this victory. Before the war was over, they began to fight for credit for themselves.

These paunchy princes and ministers all praised and smeared themselves. If he and others hadn't been behind him for their full support and dedication, would he, Ye Zhikui, have made such a great contribution?If it weren't for him stabilizing the situation in the rear, Ye Zhikui might be short of clothes and ammunition, and he would be beaten up by the German army!Therefore, it is true that Wu Yi's army was able to win battles and defeat the German army. Yes, Ye Zhikui had a little credit, but the main credit is still here, right?

Heroes came out one by one, and they gathered around the merits, like around a cake, you eat a piece, I take a bite, those soldiers who died bravely in battle have long been forgotten by them, who remembers you, soldiers Well, didn't they just die in war.

Ye Zhikui was "confidant", "leader", "represented", "by the royal party", "by the queen's party", and the "'been' era" of the Qing court came in full swing.

As the governor of Zhili, Rong Lu's tone became louder in his speech. Look, this governor has discerning talents. It was under the wise leadership of this governor that our Qing Dynasty was able to win this battle.The leadership is good, which is a great credit.

Who is the German army?The recognized No. [-] army in the world is now a scum in the hands of our recruits. He directly ignores the casualties of the Wu Yi army and the Qing army, as if after this battle, the new army is invincible.

Rong Lu began to be in high spirits. In the eyes of the central government of the Qing Dynasty, he was in the limelight for a while. He surpassed Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan's generation.

When Rong Lu was happy, he became more courageous, and his slogan became louder. A memorial went up, which roughly meant something like this: Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the recruits are good, the recruits are good, the recruits are top-notch, we should step up training recruits and expand the establishment , once the whole country's new army is trained, our Qing Dynasty will be as strong as gold, and it will last forever.

Cixi looked at it in the high-end bathing pool of the Summer Palace, and nodded, yes, it makes sense, and no one will disturb Aijia's birthday banquet every year after that, Zhuzou!

When Guangxu saw this memorial at the top of the Forbidden City, it was as if Bole had discovered the Chollima, and homosexuals had seen their gay friends, and they were so excited that the armies of the great powers seemed to fall under the guns of the new army in an instant. He suddenly realized , Not bad for the reform and reform, military training should be the top priority in the world, and the others will stand aside for the time being, waiting to line up and play!

Kang Youwei received the news at the bookstore, and put it aside, minding my business, I want to continue my great cause of writing a book.

1895 was a year of shocking and weeping ghosts and gods. The craze for the Reform Reform had not receded. The Qing government established the Prime Minister’s Military Training Office in the capital, and appointed Prince Qing Yikuang and Beiyang Governor Rong Lu as prime ministers, and Li Hongzhang and Ye Zhikui as councilors. The chancellor, Tie Liang and other Manchu warriors who were brave and skilled as the assistant ministers, carried out vigorous national military training activities. Suddenly, the sun and the moon dimmed, the sky and the earth changed color, and the old camp cried bitterly for it. Most of the military training policies of the Communist Party of China were positive and negative, while Ye Zhikui, Yuan Shikai and other recruits and generals actively supported them, forming a sharp contrast.

After Ye Zhikui received the news that he was "will be handled", he ordered Wang Shizhen, Wen Baishan, Bao Butong and other staff to present to Rong Lu the two books "Records of the New Army's Soldier Strategy" and "Detailed Illustrations of Training and Operation Methods" jointly compiled by generals of the Wu Yi Army. In order to make the training of the new army have rules to follow, and military discipline can be guaranteed.

Rong Lu was overjoyed to see that when he fell asleep, someone would send him a pillow. In addition, Ye Zhikui's military training was very effective. Wu Yi's army had been proved to be a coquettish army, so he recruited a large number of soldiers from Wu Yi's army to train the new army. Ye Zhikui took the opportunity to assign his cronies to important positions, and used them to control the training of new troops in the northern armies, thereby controlling the recruits.

The Shandong Yongying was renamed the Shandong New Army Vanguard, and it was still led by Nie Shicheng. Because it was fighting, these reorganizations, cuts and mergers will of course be discussed later, so as not to cause restlessness among the frontline soldiers.

Nie Shicheng, the governor of Shandong, and Ye Zhikui, the admiral of Zhili, went up again and said: "The people in all parts of Shandong are very enthusiastic about fighting against the foreign powers, and they have established various township regiments to help the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreigners. People from all over the world, so as not to change, suggest that the imperial court should come forward to change the boxing and bravery into a militia group, focusing on appeasement."

Because of Ye Zhikui's secret support and control, the Boxers are no longer as unorganized, undisciplined, and scattered as they used to be in history, but develop with goals and directions. All relationships are destroyed and then quickly.

The Thirteen Eagles hidden in the Boxers followed the instructions from above to Prince Dun Zailian, Duanjun Wang Zaiyi, Fu Guogong Zailan, Zhuang Prince Zaixun, Gang Yi and a group of ministers who helped the Boxers, Zhao Shuqiao, Yuxian, Dong Fuxiang and other die-hards glanced secretly and turned around to seek refuge.

Regarding the Zhezi jointly signed by Nie Shicheng and Ye Zhikui, the imperial court sent Cixi's edict not long after, to suppress and support at the same time, focusing on comfort.In view of the weak military strength in Shandong, Cixi ordered Yuan Shikai's new army to enter Shandong to carry out the extermination.

Ye Zhikui was lying on the hospital bed listening to the report of [-], the head of the Shandong Branch Thirteen Eagles, when he heard that Yuan Shikai's new army had entered Shandong.Ye Zhikui waved his hand, signaling [-] to stop.

Ye Zhikui pondered for a while, and ordered: "Yuan Xiangcheng is good at drilling camps. This person is following Cixi's order to destroy the Boxer Regiment. He will definitely take the opportunity to gain credit and be relentless. After you go back this time, order some of them to obey the Thirteen Eagles and be loyal to me." Waiting for the Boxers to slowly develop into the Zhili area. For those Boxers who behaved pervertedly and refused to obey discipline, let them go head-to-head with Yuan Shikai's new army. .”

[-] bent slightly and said: "This subordinate takes orders." Then he said worriedly: "Ye Shuai, the thirteen eagles around Ye Shuai suffered a lot of damage in this German sneak attack, do you want your subordinates to send some people?" protect you?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhikui's face darkened when he thought of the dead soldiers, and he said, "Don't worry about this, Uncle Tu has dispatched elite thirteen eagles from the headquarters and will come to Shandong from time to time. , once the matter is exposed, not only will the great cause not be accomplished, but it will be difficult for us to find such a good opportunity."

[-] asked again: "I don't know anything about my subordinates, why did we seek refuge with those diehards in the DPRK?"

Ye Zhikui smiled slightly and said: "The secrets of the sky must not be leaked. When the time comes, you will naturally know it. Now it is important for you to do the things in front of you well. You have to accumulate a lot of money to wait for the right time. You go down first."

"Yes, Shuai Ye!" [-] took the order and retreated slowly.

Chapter 88: When a Reporter Falls in Love with a General

"Morning, General Ye!"

"Morning, Miss Bai!"

In the early morning, Ye Zhikui leaned on crutches and walked slowly along a small stream not far from Yangjia Village. He, who came from later generations, of course understands that proper exercise is indispensable in order to recover from his injuries as soon as possible.

In addition, he was even more happy when he got the news that Wang Xiaosheng had woken up last night. He got up early this morning and walked around. Of course, there were a few soldiers following him not far away.

Bai Weiwei was wearing a loose coat, carrying a basin of clothes, and walked towards the creek, intentionally or unintentionally, it just so happened that she ran into Ye Zhikui on the way, and Bai Weiwei greeted Ye Zhikui aloud.

Ye Zhikui took a closer look at the coat Bai Weiwei was wearing, and it turned out to be his own.

Sensing Ye Zhikui's gaze, Bai Weiwei smiled slightly, and said embarrassedly: "General Ye, my clothes are dirty, so I have to borrow your clothes temporarily, but I can return them to you this afternoon."

Out of that narrow space, the relationship between Bai Weiwei and Ye Zhikui seemed to return to the past overnight, invisible who opened the distance first, and there seemed to be an invisible wall between them blocking them.

Ye Zhikui replied with a smile: "It's okay, I don't mind if you borrow it for a few more days." She doesn't care, so what else does he care about?

Bai Weiwei lowered her head, feeling a little sad for some reason, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to report back to the agency this afternoon."
