After the lights out and bedtime horn sounded, the atmosphere of the Huadi camp suddenly became tense, not only did the camp arrange a large number of open posts and secret posts, but also increased the patrol soldiers to patrol back and forth, and the camp was also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the various barracks were separated from each other, and the whole camp was slaughtered inside and outside.

None of the officers and men knew what was going on, and the officers who wanted to go out to inquire about the news were all blocked by the heavily armed sentry posts, and they were given an order with only two simple words -- "Stand by!" ”

After two years of uninterrupted intensive training, abiding by military orders has penetrated into the marrow of all officers and men, although all the officers have a thought that a great change is imminent, they do not dare to act rashly, after all, they do not know what is happening.

Soon, there were heralds rushing to the various camps to give orders, and all the squad platoon company and battalion level officers from the ranks of the soldiers received orders to go to the conference room meeting, and with the prestige of the Yuanqi regiment training, more and more soldiers from Rong entered the Huadi battalion, and now there are more than 340 people, and there are officers at all levels of the squad platoon, company and battalion.

On the playground outside the conference room, the officers of each battalion lined up in a neat queue with the battalion as a unit, and after the whole team reported, the battalion-level officers were summoned into the brightly lit conference room. ”

After everyone sat down, Feng Renxuan said slowly: "After receiving the order of the big treasurer, the Huadi battalion is about to send troops to Annan to forcibly occupy the Hongji Coal Mine. ”

A group of young battalion-level officers here are all talented, naturally know that Annan is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and also know that the extremely sought-after high-quality anthracite coal in Guangzhou is from the Hongji Coal Mine in Annan. ”

Feng Renxuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said, "What I said very clearly is the order of the big treasurer. ”

Zhou Shili, deputy of the third battalion, said loudly: "This is chaos!" We can't do what we want! ”

"Presumptuous!" Chang Kunning, deputy of the regiment, scolded: "This is Yuanqi group training, not the Eight Banners Green Battalion, and it is not a building. If you are in chaos, how can you say that you are in chaos? ”

Zhou Shili was not afraid at all, and said loudly: "Without the order of the imperial court, blatantly sending troops to vassal countries is to put the king in disloyalty and the court in injustice, such an unfaithful and unrighteous life, isn't it a chaotic life?" ”

Feng Renxuan raised his right hand, stopped Chang Kunning, who was about to open his mouth to argue, glanced at Zhou Shili expressionlessly, and slowly swept his gaze over the faces of the battalion officers present, and said in an indifferent tone: "I summoned you here tonight to discuss this matter, and everyone here is from a scholar's background, so you can speak freely." ”

"Guys, I'll say a word." Tang Bingcan, the commander of the second battalion, said in a deep voice: "The formation of regimental training in local places has always been temporary during the war, and it was abolished immediately after the war. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen." Yan Qingshu, deputy of the Eighth Battalion, said: "In the battle with England, the Eight Banners Green Battalion did not taste a victory, but the Yuanqi group practice was a succession of battles and victories, and did not taste a defeat. If you have this distraction, when the war is over, you should take the initiative to leave, instead of continuing to stay in the camp and practice day and night. ”

Zhou Shili said coldly, "Of course, we don't want Yuanqi Tuanlian to be abolished, but we also don't want Yuanqituan Lian to make chaos and bring disaster to the court!" ”

"It's just sending troops to Annan, how can it be a disaster for the court?"

"Sending troops to vassal states without authorization, ruining the reputation of the imperial court, and provoking wars, isn't this called a disaster for the imperial court?"

Lu Canwen interjected: "The imperial court did not mean to abolish the Yuanqi group training, and actually authorized the big treasurer to be the governor of Nanyang, and the Yuanqi group training was stationed in the four trade ports, which clearly showed that there was an intention to incorporate the Yuanqi group training into the imperial court economic system. ”

This is agreed by many people, they put pen to paper from Rong into the Yuanqi regimental training, although there is a fight against the Yingyi, the enthusiasm to defend the place, but there is no lack of the idea of winning military exploits with the help of the Yuanqi regimental practice, and advancing to the official career, the first battle in the south of the Yangtze River, there have been many people who have obtained the official body, the Yuanqi regiment training is stationed in the four treaty ports, and the imperial court should also reward the official body, who wants to make extraneous branches at this time.

"That's right, the imperial court does have the intention of incorporating Yuanqi group training into the economic system." Tang Bingcan said slowly: "But everyone should know that the Yuanqi group practice is incompatible with the Eight Banners Green Camp, and the silver spent in a year is beyond the reach of the Eight Banners Green Camp.

Who is the big treasurer? On vision, insight, courage, and means, who of us here can compare with the big shopkeeper? Besides, you don't know what Yuan Qi did, do you believe that the big shopkeeper will bring disaster to the court? ”

This is not unreasonable, in the war with Yingli, Yuan Qi sent troops and money and made suggestions, actively assisted the imperial court to fight against Yingyi, the war ended, and he also borrowed 20 million yuan to the imperial court to solve the urgent needs of the imperial court, how to look at it, Yuan Qi does not seem to be in trouble for the imperial court!

For a while, a group of officers in the conference room exchanged heads and ears, and there were many discussions, Feng Renxuan did not intervene, quietly listened to everyone's discussions, about a quarter of an hour later, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and then coughed lightly, and when it was quiet, he said: "Let's express the situation, obey the orders of the big shopkeeper, raise your hand!" ”

Brushing and brushing, a support hand was raised, and Chang Kunning, who had been prepared, immediately used a pencil under the table to tick the names of the officers who raised their hands, a total of ten officers, Feng Renxuan said expressionlessly: "If you don't want to obey orders, raise your hand!" ”

Zhou Shili took the lead in raising his hand, and then Lu Canwen also raised his hand, and then, a few hands hesitantly raised, a total of six people, the Huadi battalion has been expanded to twelve battalions, twenty-four battalion-level officers, and eight have not expressed their position.

Glancing at everyone, Feng Renxuan said coldly: "Someone is coming." ”

The two teams of guards entered in response, and when they saw this situation, all the officers in the conference room were all in the same line, which one was this singing? Without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, Feng Renxuan said expressionlessly: "Lu Canwen, Zhou Shili, Xie Yawen........ Take! ”

Lu Can Wenteng stood up suddenly, glared at Feng Renxuan angrily, and said, "We are all famous, how can we say that we can take it?" ”

The guards didn't pay attention to it at all, and rushed forward like a wolf, subduing Lu Canwen, Zhou Shili and other six people with neat movements, Feng Renxuan was waiting to be ordered to escort the six people down, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Yi Zhishu walking in, and hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "Big shopkeeper!" ”

Seeing this, the officers hurriedly got up, turned around and saluted, Yi Zhishu glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Let go of them." As he spoke, he strode to the throne and said in a deep voice, "What is the duty of a soldier?" ”

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!" A group of officers hurriedly stood up and said in unison, and several battalion officers who neither obeyed the order nor resisted the order were scared out of a cold sweat for a moment.

When the matter came to an end, Zhou Shili was not afraid, and looked at Yi Zhicontent with his eyes: "The big shopkeeper, sending troops to Annan without authorization is a chaotic life!" Subordinates dare not obey orders! ”

Yi Zhishu came out of the Wu Family Garden, and rushed straight over, just when Feng Renxuan summoned a group of battalion officers into the conference room, he didn't say a word, just stood outside to listen, this is a rare opportunity to understand the thoughts of these talented battalion officers, and he also wants to see if Feng Renxuan is worth reusing.

Hearing Zhou Shili's words, he glanced at him coldly and said, "The officers and soldiers under his command disobey the order and disrespect, according to the military law regulations, what is the punishment?" ”

"Go back to the treasurer." Feng Renxuan hurriedly said aloud: "According to Article 16 of the Military Law Regulations, disobedience is disrespectful, depending on the severity of the circumstances and the size of the impact, the heavier one will be shot, followed by thirty military sticks, and he will be confined for half a month again. After a slight pause, he said: "Today's situation is special, and it is the subordinates who ordered them to discuss and vote ...... ”

Yi Zhishu didn't say a word, groaned slightly, and then said: "The British army is a world-class strong army, Yuanqi regimental training can defeat the British army, can't it defeat the Annan army?" Sending troops to Annam, how can it be a disaster for the imperial court? Could it be that the Huadi camp does not even have the confidence to defeat Annan?

How much silver does it cost for Yuan Qi to form a group training, and how much silver does it cost to fight against the English invasion, is all this silver blown by the wind? You are holding more than three times the salary of the Eight Banners Green Camp, enjoying Yuan Qi's body, so at ease? How much have you paid for Yuanqi? How much wealth has it created for Yuanqi?

Open the court, close the court, what have you done for the court? Now that the imperial court has an empty treasury and is in urgent need of silver, can you share the worries of the monarch? Can you solve problems for the imperial court? ”

Yi Zhi's voice was not high, but the irrepressible anger was felt by everyone, and all the battalion officials were pestled like wooden stakes, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, Lu Canwen, Zhou Shili, Xie Yawen and other six people felt that their backs were cold.

"Sending troops to Annam is to share the worries of the imperial court!" Speaking of this, Yi Zhixiang's tone slowed down slightly, "How much do you know about what Yuan Qi has done over the years?" borrowed 30 million taels of silver from the imperial court at low interest! Henan disaster relief, relief of Shanghai victims, huge donations to the war, millions of profits and taxes every year, all add up, in recent years, Yuan Qi has contributed tens of millions of silver to the imperial court. The more powerful Yuan Qi is, the more silver he will provide to the imperial court, and the greater the benefit he will give to the imperial court!

I am now the Admiral of Nanyang, and I want to build a navy for the imperial court, which requires hundreds of millions of silver, where does the silver come from? The domestic market is so big, and the amount of silver that can be earned every year is limited! We can only look beyond the borders of the Qing Dynasty and plunder from those vassal states in name only!

I can tell you very clearly, if we don't plunder, Western powers will also plunder, within 20 years, England, Russia, France, the United States and other Western powers will carry out a new round of aggression against the Qing Dynasty and the vassal states of the Qing Dynasty after the completion of the industrial revolution, we have no time to develop calmly, we can only plunder abroad!

At present, the Qing Dynasty has the ability to plunder abroad, and only Yuanqi group practice! We will not only plunder Annam, but also all the neighboring vassal states, and the Japanese kingdoms that are not vassal states will also plunder! Only in this way can the Qing Dynasty quickly become stronger! ”

Everyone was stunned, no one thought that sending troops to Annan was actually just the beginning, and Yuanqi Tuanlian was actually going to plunder everywhere! Lu Canwen and Zhou Shili were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect Yi Zhishu to be so open and honest about plundering the vassal states around the Qing Dynasty, and under the guise of preparing a navy for the imperial court, it seems that Yuan Qi sent troops to Annan, and the imperial court not only would not condemn the crime, but I was afraid that it would secretly rejoice, thinking of this, several people regretted it in their hearts.

"All of you here, it took a lot of sweat and hard work to be promoted to a battalion-level officer." Yi Zhishu said and slowly glanced at everyone, "But you disappointed me, as a senior officer of Yuanqi's regimental training, you don't focus on Yuanqi's interests, but only for your own interests, what does Yuanqi want you to do?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Chang Kunning.

Chang Kunning hurriedly handed over the list in his hand, Yi Zhishu glanced at the list, and said: "As a battalion officer, I disobey orders and disrespect, I think of your first offense, and there are extenuating circumstances, Lu Canwen, Zhou Shili, Xie Yawen...... The six of them were relieved of their positions, confined for half a month, deprived of Yuan Qi's body shares, and expelled from Yuan Qi's group training! ”

All the battalion officers were stunned when they heard it, no one expected that the disposal would be so heavy, depriving Yuan Qi of his body and expelling Yuan Qi from group training, this is a loss of fame and fortune, with Yuan Qi's current reputation and power, these six people will not have a face in Guangdong in the future!

Zhou Shili said with a pale face: "The big shopkeeper, his subordinates are not convinced!" ”

"Take it down." Yi Zhizu commanded without raising his eyelids, then looked at the list again, and said, "Shi Mingrui, Hu Changpo..... Eight people, as battalion-level officers, could not lead by example, and they failed to set an example, so they were demoted by three ranks. ”

Shi Mingrui, Hu Changpo and other eight people had a bitter look on their faces, and they were demoted three levels, if they were dropped from the battalion commander to the deputy company, but they still stayed in the Yuanqi regiment to practice, and they still had the opportunity to rise up again in the future, but this lesson was too profound. ”

Yi Zhixiang looked at Tang Bingcan and Yan Qingshu, and before he could speak, Feng Renxuan introduced: "Tang Bingcan, the commander of the second battalion, and Yan Qingshu, the deputy of the eighth battalion. ”

The two hurriedly saluted, Yi Zhifen nodded and said: "The Huadi Battalion has twelve battalions, with a strength of 6,000, and has been officially upgraded to the second brigade, with four regiments under its jurisdiction, Feng Renxuan is the brigade commander, Chang Kunning is the brigade deputy and the head of the first regiment, Tang Bingcan and Yan Qingshu are the heads of the second and third regiments, the commanders of the fourth regiment are appointed by Feng Renxuan, and the officers of each regiment are selected by the regiment commanders. ”

All the officers were stunned, although they had expected that the Huadi battalion would also build a brigade, but they didn't expect that it would be at this time, Tang Bingcan and Yan Qingshu didn't expect that in order to be promoted to the regiment commander, the officers of the 12th battalion fought openly and secretly, and they didn't think that it would be effortless, which was appointed by the big shopkeeper himself.
