Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Ma Ming, Duncheng, Bai Min, and Guan Lu, the four imperial guards, were already completely dumbfounded. They did not expect that while training in the morning, Prime Minister Xiao would actually bring a group of civil and military officials to visit them.

"Ma Ming, Duncheng, Bai Min, Guan Lu … Take a step forward! " Zhao Yidao's shoulder was bitten by the bullet, but it did not stop him from tormenting this group of recruits. Under his roar, the four guards stepped forward, and with a pa sound, their military boot s crashed into each other, producing a loud and clear sound.

Xiao Letian walked in front of them, staring at the four of them with his bright eyes, his gaze sweeping across their bodies.

"Un, not bad. You look a bit like soldiers now. There is a huge difference between your slumbering appearance from before and now …" Hehe, I know that you guys are not convinced, and I know that you are all experts in martial arts that are not inferior to the Dragon Lord, but in my eyes, all of you were just soft crawling worms! "

"No need to glare at me, and no need to be unconvinced. Think about it, no matter how hard your martial arts are, you have a selfish heart and a soul that only knows how to retreat. What's the use of your martial arts?"

Xiao Letian paced back and forth in front of them. "I won't say much about what the four of you were like before, but you did well yesterday, I really didn't expect that when the order to charge forward was given, the four of you would actually rush to the very front.

"Why don't you have some silver taels? Why didn't you think you didn't have any weapons? Your actions in the Beijing, is it only typical for your brain to be flooded with water? "Hahaha …"

Xiao Letian's words infuriated the four guards, as they forgot about the military rule. Ma Ming yelled in a loud voice, "Prime Minister, I refuse to accept this … Why are you looking down on us so much? We are also seven feet tall men, and we also have our own dignity. The enemy is right in front of us, so why don't we dare to fight? "You're looking down on people too much …"

Looking at the furious eyes of the four guards, Xiao Letian did not get angry at all. He shook his head: "Am I looking down on you? Wrong, it's all because of your past actions that I despised. Just look at your past performances on the battlefield: Charge, silver, Order Soldier, I won't fight against so many enemies, then run away … … "How about one piece after another for me to see?"

"Of course, the four of you will definitely not be convinced. But, to put it harshly, the bravery and loyalty you all have, must your goal be pure? "I was just thinking of doing well in front of a noble and then changing my wife, Yingzi, to raise my status …"

"Think about it, if it is not beneficial, would you guys sacrifice your lives recklessly? "You don't need to give me an answer. Go torture your own hearts. Actually, I understand the Manchu more than you do, and the customs and habits of the Eight Banners …"

The Fourth Guard was unable to respond to Xiao Letian's words. Thinking about the lazy atmosphere around Beijing, and thinking about the beautiful mouths of those extremely selfish playboys, the Fourth Guard lowered his head.

"But …" Xiao Letian changed the topic: "But you guys did very well yesterday, and did indeed display the qualities a good soldier should have. Hearing the order, I have no doubt that you guys forgot your little ego when you guys charged into the fray, and you guys actually integrated yourselves into the group.

"Men, spear!" With Xiao Letian's order, four ceremonial soldier walked over carrying four trays covered in red silk. Xiao Letian lifted the red silk cloth, revealing four exquisite Colt revolver and a bunch of shiny yellow copper bullets.

Ma Ming and the other two were so excited that their eyes were going red, this was the's Ruler Gun, which was worth a thousand taels of silver. It could shoot out six bullets in an instant, and even the Old Ancestor would have difficulty dodging these bullets.

The fact that the Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea bestowed the spear in front of all the new troops was enough for the four of them to boast about their dignity for the rest of their lives. When they returned to the Beijing in the future, with the Gun s bestowed by the Prime Minister at their waists, they would walk up to the other side without giving them a second glance.

Weren't all men of the martial arts world looking for face all their lives? Not to mention that the young emperor was still standing behind the Prime Minister, picking on Big Brother Chu, while the eunuchs in the corner were still tearing up.

Ma Ming and the others stood with their chests puffed up, allowing ceremonial soldier to tie their arms around their bodies. Finally, Xiao Letian personally put his gun into his holster.

"From now on, the four of you can train with guns. This is the privilege I'm giving you …" Always remember the moment you risked your lives to charge, never forget the spirit in your hearts … That is the soul of a soldier! "

"If you want to bring out a new army, you have to change everyone's mind. Don't go back on your ways!"

Hearing the prime minister's earnest and earnest instructions, the four guards looked around at the solemn ceremony, and could not help but feel a pang in their noses.

When all the pistols had been inserted into the holsters, Xiao Letian took a step back and shouted loudly, "There is a total of all of them... Salute! " Hundreds of new recruits and dozens of military officers present, including Xiao Letian himself and the Emperor of Tongzhi had all stood at attention and performed a new type of military salute. Even Mr. Noble who was watching the ceremony from the back of the queue took off his hat to show his respect.

This time, the four guards couldn't control themselves and tears started rolling down their cheeks. They could be considered experienced people and experienced great things. They could enter and leave the Forbidden City as they wished, but today, they were moved by this small spear gift ceremony.

In the Beijing, they were just servants, but they were merely eagles and dogs. No matter how many nobles and officials they were rewarded, they would be looked at with disdain. It was only at this moment that they suddenly felt that they were decent people, Xiao Letian felt as if he had stabbed a few steel nails into their spines.

As long as he stood up straight, it would be difficult for him to bend in the future!

The spear bestowing ceremony was quickly over. Under the envious gazes of countless people, the four guards returned to the team and began to undergo super intense training. Zai Chun felt extremely gratified when he saw how the four guards were putting in their utmost effort.

"Training soldiers, training soldiers, continue training soldiers, the Fourth Guard will become the Fourth Company Commander, and they will also become the Fourth Battalion Commander, Fourth Division Commander … …" "One day, I will be like my master. I believe that I will be able to create a powerful army that will even make the foreigners retreat. I firmly believe that …"

The little emperor was still in a daze, when Taro Shimadzu's voice suddenly sounded beside his ear: "Ba ga! The ceremony was over. Why didn't they return? Go back to the team immediately and start your training. Otherwise, you're not allowed to eat lunch today … Go! and another 20 pushups, right now, right now... "

"Yes!" Instructor... Twenty push-ups, right now, right now! " The little emperor ran to the edge of the field and sat down in a very formal manner.

Xiao Letian, who had walked to the entrance of the training camp, looked at the little emperor and the four guards from the corner of her eyes.

"Maybe only by living together like this can we wipe away the narrow nationalist complex in Manchu! Zai Chun, you must remember today's life. There are Han, Japanese, Glazed sphere aboriginals and even youths from Southern Ocean around you, including your enemy, the Heaven Country's orphan … "

"You guys live together, train together, eat and sleep together, talk and brag …" I hope you can remember their looks and understand this point. Only when you, Manchu, learn to integrate with all races equally will you have any hope of getting back to work … "

"It is a heavy task and a long way to go. Fortunately, you are still young!"

After leaving the training camp, Xiao Letian immediately held a secret meeting at the highest level in the military. The higher ups of the new army gathered together to analyze the situation in Japan.

"Everyone, since France has started to send ammunition to Japan, then it can only prove that Tsurukawa's Palace and France have reached a secret agreement, and that the French have infiltrated Japan, they will not let us monopolize Asia, so let's gather our ideas and discuss it!"

Hearing Xiao Letian's introduction, the house immediately buzzed with noise, everyone whispered to each other, and the map of the Japanese Islands in front of them had ten heads climbing up.

Luo Huo was a representative of the new army, he was the first to stand up, "Prime Minister, what is there to talk about, let us new soldiers fight, with a thousand new soldiers as bones, and eight thousand Japanese as meat, ten thousand soldiers is enough to sweep Japan away, even if the French army fight directly, it would not matter!"

At this time, Navy Commander Cai Mao also stood up, "That's right, there are a total of eight warships available in the Ryukyu. Although they are not as powerful as the powerful fleet of the Westerners, they shouldn't be a problem to deal with the Japanese Navy. "Prime Minister, please give the order, we can bombard the Jiang family, and we can even bring a Elite Armament to attack the River City …"

The fact that the Prime Minister summoned us here for a discussion meant that the Prime Minister was not able to make a decision in his heart. War is not only about the battlefield, and political considerations should not be lost as well. "

"Our new army will directly join the war, do you think the Southwest Tetrarch will agree? The victory of the second Great Yue State Battle has already made them somewhat carefree, will the Maori's house and the Maori's house agree to let our new troops land? "

"With the threat of the French, why don't they agree? Do they think they can beat the French? " Various voices sounded in the crowd.

Xiao Hexin turned his head and replied, "The key point is, will the Inverted Pie believe our intelligence, the victory in the Great Yue State War has already made them somewhat fanatical, and their internal power has also emerged, everyone has yet to defeat the Mu Clan, and they are already considering the distribution of benefits, will they let us have a share?"

Xiao Hexin had indeed already gained some of the grace of a strategist. The height of their analysis was clearly not on the same level as Luo Huo and the others.

Once again, the meeting room was stuck shut. Everyone started to discuss and deduce all sorts of possibilities, while Xiao Letian himself began to change positions and think.

"If I were Tokugawa Yoshinobu, then I would definitely show weakness towards the enemy, retreating step by step to buy time for my own troops to train … Not to mention the four Great vassal lords s, even Sakamoto Ryoma's Sea Aid Society and Zhong Gangshentailang's Lu Club were quarreling intensely because of their different ideologies. "

"In order to gain more power, the Four Feudal Lords did not hesitate to brandish their butcher knives at their own people. Not to mention that they were loyal to the Sky Emperor, after the Wanchen War, it would soon be the Southwest War. Those Great vassal lords s would not hesitate to fight the Sky Emperor for their own interests.

Xiao Letian fell into a deep doubt.
