The master of the shaving master couldn't understand what this wealthy family was trying to do, but even if they became monks together, it had nothing to do with him. It was serious to do the job in his hands and take money and leave.

The Qing Dynasty braids were money rat tails, which meant that a piece of hair the size of a cup of tea left behind the head, dragging a braid like a rat tail. Because the remaining hair was not large in size, it was naturally much faster to shave. After one stick of incense, a bald head in the yard.

The new military uniforms taken out of the palace were also ready. After shaving their heads, the soldiers began to try them on. Unfortunately, the small sizes of these fifty sets of clothes were small. The soldiers of the Black Flag Army were generally thin and mostly not fit. Liu Shaoqing thought about it. The new military uniforms designed by the emperor were not much different from those he brought from Tonkin. He simply asked some tailors to change the military uniforms from Tonkin according to the way the emperor gave them, and it was all right.

The military uniforms worn by Liu Shaoqing's personal soldiers were changed to the size of the French army. The basic style of the clothing was not much different from the Prussian military uniforms referenced by Emperor Guangxu. Moreover, Guangxu did not copy the Prussian military uniforms, but also the new military uniform styles set by referring to the French and British military uniforms, so there are not many places to be changed. However, the military uniforms of the Black Flag Army are dark green, and now they have to be changed to blue-gray, and they have to be dyed again.

Then Liu Shaoqing also picked two pieces of similar size and took them into the house to Wen Dusu and Muller. "The large number of new military uniforms will take two days to finish. They will be fully dressed in the training camp, and the military academy will also arrange dressing changes. Before that, the two brothers stayed at my younger brother for two days, and I happened to talk about this new military ceremonies and other things."

The two said, "Okay, we're welcome."

In the next few days, everyone will practice in the Tang Mansion, waiting for the new military uniform to arrive.

Three days later, the tailor also sent a small military uniform with a changed color. The thirty-six soldiers in the Tang Mansion immediately changed into new military uniforms.

Because they are all tailor-made, everyone is very energetic when wearing new military uniforms and performing queue exercises is another style. The clean and neat formation is simply pleasing to the eye. Everyone's spirit is immediately raised to a new height. The most important thing is that if such military uniforms cooperate with queue movements, they will not need to fight, and the fierce aura of a soldier will be swelling more and more.

Liu Shaoqing knew that this military morale had solidified.

Two more days later, the eight hundred new military uniforms that the Office of the Internal Affairs was finally completed, and then, according to Liu Shaoqing's order, they were sent directly to Nanyuan Camp.

In the non-commissioned officer school, Liu Shaoqing, Liu Shaoqing, Wen Dusu and Muller, who had been hiding for five days, appeared in the principal's office together. In addition to the principal Ronglu, there were also executive vice president Yinchang. Outside the door, Yang Yong stood with twelve personal soldiers. Huang Chengyong took some people to arrange the dressing change of the training camp.

Liu Shaoqing was explaining to Ronglu that after all, Ronglu was the nominal principal. The three of them disappeared for a few days and suddenly they were shaved to baldness. They had to give people an explanation.

"That's how it is. The emperor's intention is to start with the military academy first. This is the newly compiled army's military appearance, military discipline and queue rules." As he said that, he placed two brochures of varying thickness in his hand on Ronglu's desk.

Ronglu looked at the two manuals in front of him, then looked at Liu Shaoqing and the other two in a new outfit, but didn't say anything. Liu Shaoqing didn't speak, and the atmosphere became dull for a moment. After two or three minutes of stalemate, Ronglu looked up and asked, "What do you need to do for me?"

Liu Shaoqing saluted a military salute, "It only needs to implement new military regulations in daily management. In addition, the low-level position requires convening all students to announce this news."

Ronglu nodded and said, "Okay, I will cooperate with you with all my strength."

Liu Shaoqing saluted a military salute: "Thank you for your support, and leave with me."

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

Buzz ~~

A sharp alarm suddenly sounded on campus. This whistle represents an emergency gathering. Once the whistle sounds, no matter what you are doing, you must install it in the playground to gather at the specified time. The time is specified for three minutes during the day and five minutes at night.

As the whistle sounded, the students who were in class in the classroom quickly packed up their things and rushed to the playground.

Liu Shaoqing stood on the podium on the playground, Wen Dusu and Muller lined up, watching the rapid formation of students on the playground. More than 100 people stood in a twelve column. After more than three months of preliminary training, the young masters who could not adapt to the life of the army had long been eliminated. Most of the remaining people had the foundation of the army, so they had already achieved results. At least the speed of the whole team gathering had reached the prescribed requirements, but the order of formation was still a little worse.

The playground gradually became quiet, and soon there was no sound.

Liu Shaoqing looked at the Western pocket watch in his hand. It was just right. Then he whispered: "Listen to my command and stand attentive!"

Swish~, the students stood up immediately.

"Yang Yong!"

As Liu Shaoqing said, there was a sound of neat footsteps outside the playground. A group of soldiers in new military uniforms ran neatly into the playground and stood in front of all the students.

"Take off your hat!"

With a command, the twelve soldiers took off their hats neatly and held them in their left hand. Six of them turned backwards, revealing their shiny back of their heads.

The students who were originally gathered were already very interested in the costumes of Liu Shaoqing and the other three on the stage. Now a team of soldiers stood in front of them at close range. The shiny leather boots, bright collars, straight heroic posture, and strong momentum. Especially the fact that this group of people dared to cut off their braids, it immediately shocked the audience.

At first, students whispered, and even the students behind them stretched their necks to watch. However, as Liu Shaoqing expected, if everyone was not interested, the show would not be able to be sung.

"discipline!"

Liu Shaoqing shouted, and the playground immediately became quiet. As the sound on the playground disappeared, an inexplicable sense of oppression slowly rose.

Liu Shaoqing deliberately stopped talking and waited for the depressing atmosphere to brew for a while.

Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Shaoqing said loudly: "Dear students, this supervisory representative to the emperor, announce to everyone that what you see is the latest military uniform that will be adopted in our Qing Dynasty. Once all students pass the assessment, they will have the opportunity to wear this new military uniform and become a glorious commander of the new army of the Qing Empire!"

Speaking of this, Liu Shaoqing deliberately paused.

"You may have seen that the new military uniform uses a bright yellow that represents the dignity of the royal family. Yes, this is the honor given by the emperor's special order! Wearing this military uniform, you will no longer be yourself, but represent the emperor, the court, and the entire empire. Therefore, no one will do anything that will damage this military uniform, damage the title of a soldier, or damage this honor in the future! Remember, it is anyone!"

After changing his voice, Liu Shaoqing continued: "However, as you have seen, if you want to join the new army to be established, you need to cut off your braids to show your absolute obedience and loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, this official does not force this. Even if the cadets of the military academy do not enter the new army, they can still serve in the Banner Army, the garrisoned Banner and the Green Camp. However, it is necessary to remind everyone that the new army will adopt a military rank system that is completely different from the current official system in the future. How to choose is required for each student to judge."

Liu Shaoqing's words are like throwing a huge rock into the calm lake. It arouses not only water splashes, but also birds on the lake and fish swimming in the water. More than a hundred students in front of him come from various regions of the Qing Dynasty, including bannermen and Han people. There are both radical and conservative. Some people have long been jealous of foreign instructors' outfits and want to have the same military uniform; some are considering what opportunities or challenges this choice may bring to themselves; but more people are scolding because they have to cut off their braids.

These manifestations were all within Liu Shaoqing's expectations. The rice raises hundreds of people, and everyone will have their own ideas. The old saying goes, "A forced melon is not sweet." The emperor did not intend to force everyone to cut their braids. Giving everyone a chance to choose is the first screening of the new army.

About one-third of the people did not speak out the rebellious insults of their ancestors, which made Liu Shaoqing very satisfied. Moreover, he guessed that the choices of Muller and Wen Dusu must have affected many people.

One is the son of the general of Fuzhou, a serious Manchu; the other is the second son of the Mongolian prince, the descendant of **** Senggelinqin. Even these two people chose to cut off their braids. It seems that the temptation of the new army is much richer than most people think.

‘Bang!’

A gunshot brought the students on the playground back to reality. Liu Shaoqing raised the Colt in his hand and whispered: "Discipline! I'll emphasize it again, discipline! Don't forget that you are soldiers!"

The lower part suddenly became quiet. Liu Shaoqing deliberately let the students below make noise for a while, but this was in a military academy after all, and discipline still needs to be emphasized.

After the scene calmed down again, Liu Shaoqing said: "I have said just now that cutting off the braids is to show absolute obedience and loyalty to the emperor. Let me ask, when the emperor gave the order, you can't even leave a braid, so how can you stain the battlefield for the emperor? But the emperor also said that it is not forced to join the new army. Everyone can have their own choices, so I can give everyone five days to consider. After the Qingming Festival, I will see everyone's answers. Now, disband!"

In the office not far away, Ronglu looked through the window at everything that happened on the playground.

Although the emperor asked himself to be the principal, today's things were conveyed to him through another person, which fully demonstrated the emperor's distrust of himself. Ronglu knew clearly what it meant if his subjects could not gain the trust of the emperor in a dynasty.
