"Report!"

In the office, Rong Lu, who was writing a desk, didn't raise his head, and responded casually: "Come in."

Since the New Army began to train equipment on a large scale, and Yinchang was transferred to the Northeast, Ronglu's workload has become increasingly large. In the past six months, because Liu Shaoqing was secretly ordered to go to Tibet, the workload has increased exponentially. However, Ronglu is happy. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's determination and intention of the army and the army. This is definitely a way to achieve success in the future. As long as the New Army is grasped, it is a foregone conclusion that the more you become, Ronglu is happier. So the busier Ronglu is.

The one who pushed the door in response to the sound was the backbone of the new army's non-commissioned officers. Since the Guards were officially formed in the 13th year of the Guangxu period, there have been more than 30,000 people and fifteen regiments. In these three years, a group of young people with excellent character and academic qualifications emerged from the students of the original non-commissioned officers' schools, and these young people have become middle-level officers of the Guards.

The organization of the Guards is different from the original Eight Banners, Green Camp, and Brave Battalion. It adopts the Western Army organization method. Currently, it has six-level brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads. Each regiment has three infantry battalions and one support support battalion, each battalion has three infantry companies plus one support support company, each company has three infantry platoons plus one machine gun platoon, each platoon has four infantry squads, and each squad has twelve people.

With the renewal of the army organization, the corresponding personnel organization and organization have also changed. According to different positions, soldiers are divided into three levels: Private, Second Class, and Senior Class, and then non-commissioned officers, which are divided into corporals, sergeants and sergeants.

Normally, new recruits join the army are privateers, four seasonal exams a year, and those who pass the scores are promoted to privateers in the second year, and so on, the third year is privateers, followed by corporals, sergeants, and sergeants. In an infantry squad, there are chiefs and one deputy squad leader each. Generally, the squad leader is a sergeant and the deputy squad leader is a corporal.

Whether it is a soldier of a class or a non-commissioned officer, they are all first-class soldiers. If you want to become an officer, you need to receive the study of a non-commissioned officer school and only those who pass the grades can become an officer.

According to the Western military system, officers are currently divided into generals, school officials and lieutenants. Because the Guards have not been established for a long time and the first-class officers of the brigade are just a false air, so there are currently no generals in the Guards, and only two colonels are considered the highest military rank. One is Rong Lu, the principal of the non-commissioned officer school, and the other is naturally Liu Shaoqing, the supervisor appreciated by the emperor.

It is said that the cavalry brigades of the New Army and Manchuria and Mongolian in the Northeast are also well trained. At the latest next year, Yinchang, Muller and Wendusu should be promoted to colonels.

Ronglu quickly finished writing the last few strokes and blew the ink traces drying. Then he looked up at the five proud disciples who were carrying the rank of majors who came in.

With Ronglu's eyes over, the few people saluted neatly: "Report, Lian Zhan, Wang Zhanyuan, Zhang Huaizhi, Jiang Chaozong, and Lei Zhenchun were ordered to come and report!"

Although these people were deputy major regiments, this was only because of the special circumstances caused by the initial construction of the Guards. The major of the new army was equivalent to the fourth-rank left leader of the old military officer, Dusi. The officials of the Qing Dynasty were third-rank and fourth-ranks, which were a watershed. There were many officers below the third-rank and fifth-ranks, but there were fewer officers to reach the third-rank. After all, these people were still young. If the level was too high, they might attract more rebounds, which was not conducive to the reorganization of local armed forces and the development of the new army in the future.

Ronglu replied to them with a military salute, then waved his hand: "Okay, sit down, I have something to say to you."

"yes!"

Several people walked to the living room and sat down left and right. Ronglu sat in the upper head seat, folded the paper in his hand and kept it at his hand. Then he said: "It has been three years since the court established the new army. Now the new army has begun to take shape. Recently, the imperial court issued an order to select several parts of the Zhili Guards to send Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hubei, Shaanxi and other places to assist local governors to reorganize soldiers and bravely battalions. At the same time, clear the local area, eliminate bandits, and further expand the guards. They discovered that they would cultivate new military talents. After comprehensive review by the Ministry of War and the school, they reported to the emperor for their imperial examinations, and finally decided on you. Now I order!"

The five people stood up with a 'huh' sound, waiting for the order.

Ronglu also stood up: "Lien Zhan!"

"Come!" Lien Zhan stepped forward and stood attentive.

"I ordered you to lead your troops to Nanning, Guangxi to cooperate with the Admiral Liu Yongfu, and be responsible for the reorganization of the Sanguang Army, Yong and the New Army!"

"Yes!" Lien Zhan shouted loudly, then retreated back to the line.

"Zhang Huaizhi!"

"arrive!"

"I ordered you to lead your troops to Kunming to cooperate with Governor Cen Yuying, and be responsible for the reorganization of Yunnan-Guizhou soldiers, brave and new troops!"

"yes!"

"Jiang Chaozong!"

...

With Ronglu's orders, Jiang Chaozong, Wang Zhanyuan and Lei Zhenchun were also sent to Hubei, Shaanxi and Sichuan respectively.

After issuing the order, Ronglu picked up the documents he had just written on the table and handed them to several people, saying, "This is your official credential. There is a seal from the Ministry of War and the emperor's imperial seal. If you go to the local area, you will naturally receive and assist the local yamen. Everyone..."

Ronglu said solemnly: "You all came up with the new army. You know the emperor's investment in the new army best. This time I entered the palace, the emperor gave special instructions."

Speaking of this, the few people immediately stood at attention and stood up straight and listened to the decree.

"The new army is a heavy weapon of national defense, representing the face of the entire court, and shouldering the honor of soldiers. You are required to maintain a modest and cautious style after being released from the outside; you must maintain a style of being cautious in arrogance and impetuosity, keep in mind the military rules and regulations, and always put the honor of soldiers first. Based on actual combat, strengthen training, and set an example for local troops!"

Several people replied loudly: "Please rest assured and ensure that the task is completed!"

"Okay! I hope you can remember today's oath! Disband now, go back and prepare, and set off separately in three days!"

"yes!"

In the summer of the 15th year of the Guangxu period, the court issued two decrees in succession. One was that the Guangxi Admiral Feng Zicai was old and sick, so he agreed to his honor and support. Guangnan Admiral Liu Yongfu led the military power of Guangnan, Guangxi and Guangdong provinces. At the same time, the Guangxi Army Non-commissioned Officer School was established, with Liu Yongfu as the principal.

Another decree is to send it to five places in Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Shandong at the same time. It is said that the imperial court sent a unit of the guards to the place to assist the local supervisor, reorganize the troops, bravely recruit new troops and clear the local areas, and ask local governments to provide assistance!

Thousands of miles away, Tibet Ren entered the post, and the Minister of the Assistant to Tibet Shengtai was talking to Liu Shaoqing, the "Qinzheng Local Inspection Officer".

Sheng Taizheng said: "A few days ago, he was ordered to negotiate with the British. British and Indian official Jurande first asked to trade in Gymze, but then asked to trade in Parker. The brothers dared not agree, but only asked the British side to withdraw troops from Longtushan first. However, the British said that they must draw a clear line before they can withdraw troops. Lord Liu represents the emperor, so what do you think."

Shengtai kicked Liu Shaoqing with a ball, which was obviously because Liu Shaoqing was young and inexperienced, so he wanted him to take the blame.

Fortunately, the emperor had an explanation before coming. Liu Shaoqing thought, and then said, "The British are greedy. If they get Long, they will definitely look for Shu. Lord Shengtai must not relax. As for the British occupying Longtu Mountain, aren't there still Tibetans competing with them? Xiaguan is also going to the front line to see this time, and I hope Lord Shengtai will have a convenient way."

Shengtai hesitated: "This..."

Liu Shaoqing said: "This is also what the emperor means."

Shengtai hurriedly said, "This is easy to say. My official's original intention is to ask my brothers to rest here first, and then go."

Liu Shaoqing said: "Thank you for your kindness, but because of the unacceptable environment and the difficult road to travel, it has been delayed a lot of time. If you delay any further, I am afraid that the emperor will blame you for going back to Beijing in the future, so please make arrangements as soon as possible."

Shengtai hurriedly said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Then he said: "Minister Zhemeng Xiong (King of Sikkim) has several relatives in Ren's post. They are about to return tomorrow. Why not be with you brothers?"

Liu Shaoqing didn't know it was a plan and nodded in agreement.

After seeing off Liu Shaoqing, Shengtai hurried to the people of Zhemeng Xiong and said, "As for what you said, as usual, the matter of being affiliated with our dynasty, I am only a border minister, and I am not a general manager, and I am eager to make a decision. There is a royal imperial envoy from the capital. Although he is young, he is the important member of the emperor. Tomorrow he will go to the front line of Longtushan to inspect. I will arrange for you to return with him. If you have any questions, you can ask him for instructions directly."

When the people of Zhemeng Xiong heard that Shengtai was going to negotiate with the British, they hurriedly sent their king's mother and several relatives to visit one after another, saying that they were unwilling to surrender to the British and hoped that they would still surrender to the Qing Dynasty. However, now the British have occupied Zhemeng Xiong and hope that the court can protect them and drive the British away.

In such a thing, Shengtai dared to make decisions. Liu Shaoqing came and threw it to Liu Shaoqing, the raw melon seed.

How could the people of Zhemeng Xiong know about Shengtai’s beauty? When they heard that they were the important ministers around the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, they thought that Shengtai really helped them with their hearts, and thanked them all over the place.

On the second day, Liu Shaoqing set out, and there were more than a dozen envoys of Zhe Mengxiong and his group of more than a dozen people. When Zhe Mengxiong saw that Liu Shaoqing's army was neat and well-equipped, he was immediately relieved. There were about 1,6700 troops in this army. At least on the surface, the Qing court's army was much more elite than Tibetan soldiers, and even compared with the British, it was even better. If he fought with the British, he would not be at a disadvantage. Thinking of this, he was even more grateful to Shengtai. He hurriedly asked someone to inform him and came to visit Liu Shaoqing.

Liu Shaoqing came to Tibet this time. On the one hand, Guangxu arranged to see the specific situation of the British in Tibet. At the same time, he also conducted long-range training for the troops and honed the troops. By the way, if there was a chance, the troops would also experience the actual combat. So this time, Liu Shaoqing specially selected a battalion - if there were too many people, it would easily expose the target, which would attract the attention of the British, and it would be troublesome.

With the announcement of the messenger, Liu Shaoqing met with the envoy Zhe Mengxiong during the march. After the other party explained his purpose, Liu Shaoqing realized that he was being promoted to another sentence by Shengtai.

"I know what the envoy said. First of all, the king and subjects of your country are in a favorable mood to the Celestial Empire, which is worthy of recognition and praise. However, at present, the Qing Dynasty and the British had a conflict over the incident of Longtushan. It is really not suitable for trouble at this time. However, when the nobles are bullied by the British, I will report to the court after returning to Beijing to let the emperor know. At that time, the court will negotiate with the British. But now we need to aggrieved the nobles for a period of time, and I hope the nobles will understand."

Of course, Zhe Mengxiong did not expect Liu Shaoqing to listen to their words, so he took these thousand or hundreds of people to fight the British to the death. No one was stupid. Now with Liu Shaoqing's words, there was a guarantee. As for how long this "wrongedness" will take place, it would be left to fate.

The roads on the border between Tibet were difficult to move, and Liu Shaoqing followed the army with his military supplies, so he walked out of Ren and walked for more than ten days before he arrived at the Narezang Army camp.
