Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 91 Shen Baozhen trembles! Commander Su Yi returns to camp!

In the British Concession, in Waitoma's mansion.

More than a dozen pairs of men and women were dancing.

Su Yi was wearing a suit and leather shoes, holding a glass of red wine, and drank among the dignitaries of the concession.

The place outside is densely packed with British police officers.

The other half were Su Yi's dozens of guards.

Su Yi laughed loudly while drinking.

"The French? The only people in this world who can save the French are women and dwarfs."

"Hahahaha!" Sir Henry said: "Sir Su Yi, you are qualified to say that Napoleon is short. But I guess he is taller than you when he lies down."

Su Yi said: "Please believe me, my height ranking when lying down is far higher than when I stand."

Sir Henry said: "I don't believe it."

Colonel William said: "Napoleon once said that China is a sleeping lion. What does Sir Su Yi think?"

Su Yi said: "I'll stand and watch!"

"Hahahahaha..." Weitoma laughed loudly, and was very satisfied with Su Yi's answer, because there was no national sentiment at all.

"The battle tonight was too tragic. Mr. Zhang Yuzhao died so tragically. It is such a pity. He was an excellent poet."

Su Yi said: "Yes, these gangsters from the Small Sword Society are so cruel that they dare to kill the imperial court's ministers in public."

Sir Henry said: "Colonel William, have you seen the murderer clearly?"

Colonel William said: "No, I just know that he is very tall, has his face covered, and is a very cruel person."

"A moment of silence for Mr. Zhang Yuzhao!"

"A moment of silence for Mr. Zhang Yuzhao!"

Everyone talked lightly about the battle that had just happened.

Then, a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes came on stage.

Then the crowd began to applaud, especially Sir Henry, who was his mistress.

Unexpectedly, he is also a singer.

She started singing.

Singing excerpts from "Macbeth".

The level is very high.

Everyone listened quietly, and after singing, there was a warm applause.

Weitoma said: "Your Excellency Su Yi, can you perform a song for everyone? I think everyone is looking forward to it very much."

Then he started clapping rhythmically.

Everyone in the audience applauded rhythmically, and then everyone looked at Su Yi.

Su Yi stepped forward and sang loudly.

My sun!

Stunning everyone.

After singing, a wealthy Chinese businessman came forward and said: "Master Su Yi, this song is astonishing to heaven and earth. You have really brought glory to the country tonight."

Su Yihan said: "I just feel ashamed!"

Then, he turned around, smiled and toasted to Weitoma and others.

Witoma stepped forward, put his arm around Su Yi's shoulders and said, "Sir Su Yi, you have truly gained our friendship now."

Yeah?

What's the cost?

An irreparable rift appeared between the imperial court and the Hunan Army, or between Su Yi, the future new warlord, and the Hunan Army.

Sir Henry said: "I didn't expect that I sold a batch of goods for two cents. Sir Su Yi, don't you feel unhappy?"

Su Yi said: "How could it be possible? How could it be possible? That's not my money, hahahahaha!"

Sir Henry said: "Yes, that's not your money, that's the Hunan Army's money. To be more precise, it's the people's wealth in Hunan and Hubei."

These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are the blood and tears of many people.

I don’t know how many people went bankrupt.

Su Yi drank the blood-like wine and laughed loudly.

The singing of several singers became wanton.

Sir Henry pulled Su Yi off the stage and danced a vulgar but cheerful dance.

Su Yi's new dance once again amazed the audience.

Two hours later!

A beautiful Western woman, naked, kneeling and singing.

Su Yi galloped her horse forward and used sheep casings just to be on the safe side.

This woman is the singer, Sir Henry's mistress.

………………………………

The next day!

Su Yi took hundreds of people on board Sir Henry's armed merchant ship, left Shanghai, and returned to Tianjin.

Su Yi stood at the stern of the ship, looking at Shanghai moving away, silently.

There was indescribable anger in his eyes.

"I actually liked Shanghai before, but now I hate this place." Bai Feifei said.

Black Gong and the other six people stood quietly behind them.

Su Yi said: "Do you feel it now?"

What do you feel?

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten."

"If you fall behind, you will be humiliated."

"Remember all this!"

Yesterday, a small trick by the British could make Su Yi and the Hunan army fight each other.

This will tear open another crack in the already fragile relationship between the imperial court and the Hunan Army.

And this is a conspiracy.

Su Yi saw it, but so what?

Haven't you taken action yet? Why not kill Zhang Yuzhao and take back this batch of arms?

Blame the Hunan Army for not living up to expectations.

Is it to blame Shen Baozhen and Zhang Yuzhao for not living up to expectations?

This situation will continue to happen for a long time to come.

In the next century, when warlords fight, they will become even more crazy and outrageous.

If the great powers throw out a meat bone at random, many warlords will rush at it and bite each other to death.

It's not too late to rise up now.

If it were twenty or thirty years later, it would really be too late.

Suddenly, Su Yi longed for his army like never before.

The battle last night was so ugly.

What's the point of having an elite and professional army?

Although Zhang Yuzhao's five hundred men were defeated by a surprising move, in the eyes of foreigners, the battle last night was simply a farce.

Tianjin!

Tianjin.

His military station, his new army.

That was his hope and all his career.

Although the training has not yet begun, Su Yi has already sacrificed a lot for this new army.

Next, whether Su Yi is a dragon or an insect depends on this army.

If the army is not good and the training is not good, then no matter how smart and ruthless Su Yi is, it will be of no use at all.

…………………………………………

On another boat.

Shen Baozhen received the letter.

Then, his whole body began to tremble, even tremble.

Zhang Yuzhao is dead.

Two hundred Hunan soldiers died.

The batch of arms was snatched back by Su Yi.

Moreover, the three hundred thousand taels of silver were completely wasted.

He closed his eyes in pain and lay back on the couch.

The decision to snatch this batch of arms from Su Yi was made by him, Shen Baozhen.

Then in order to clear the suspicion, he left Shanghai early because he was a court official after all.

Zhang Yuzhao does not have any official position yet, so it is more convenient to do this.

When Taxation Department Li Taitai came to them and made this suggestion, Shen Baozhen thought that this would offend Su Yi.

But for this batch of arms, the Hunan Army is determined to get it, regardless of the cost.

Because the war situation was now at its most critical, Shi Dakai captured Wuchang, and the Hunan Army's living environment suddenly became worse.

In troubled times, the military is the only source of support.

As for Su Yi, if he is offended, he should be offended.

Even if he passed the civil and military exams, he was still a weakling.

The rage of the incompetent is the most ineffective.

But... I didn't expect it.

Su Yi would be so crazy that he would directly kill the British within their sphere of influence.

Unexpectedly, he actually won!

In this round, he, Shen Baozhen, lost completely.

He failed in this scene.

After a long while, he took the letter and came to the door of his daughter Shen Baoer's room.

Knocked softly on the door.

"Baoer."

"Um."

"Zhang Yuzhao is dead. Su Yi killed him, and his weapons were also taken away."

There was silence inside.

After a long while, Shen Baoer's voice came from inside.

"knew."

……………………………………………………

Su Yi's sad and angry mood only lasted a few hours.

Then, he became enthusiastic and began to communicate with twenty Western officers.

This is also his core strength in the future.

His professionalism and military theory were an eye-opener for these officers.

He drank and had shooting competitions with dozens of Western mercenaries he recruited.

Jump into the ocean for a swim, fish, and more.

He and Bai Feifei's family sent dozens of children to eat together and chat heart-to-heart.

Every day is very busy.

All for the new army.

………………………………

We are getting closer to Tianjin.

Because the navy camp was borrowed this time, it has its own dock, and the cargo ship can dock directly.

"That's our military camp. There are more than two thousand people inside, our new army."

A long way away, Su Yi pointed at the military camp.

Twenty officers said: "Sir Su Yi, your military theories and military qualities have opened our eyes. I am full of expectations for the next work!"

"Gentlemen, put on your uniforms, put on your caps, and polish your sabers."

"We are about to meet Sir Su Yi's new army and we need to leave a deep impression on them."

Following Colonel William's order, twenty officers put on brand new military uniforms, polished their belts, polished their shoes, and polished their sabers.

Then, he stood on the deck meticulously and neatly.

The mercenary leader Mickey shouted: "Gentlemen, we are about to face Sir Su Yi's army. Everyone, cheer up and don't let anyone look down on us."

Then, more than thirty mercenaries also stood on the deck meticulously wearing brand new military uniforms.

They also have to use their best image to face Su Yi's new army.

Because Su Yi was so outstanding, they had unlimited expectations for Su Yi's new army!

………………………………………………………………

When the cargo ship was still a kilometer away from the barracks dock.

The pier was already densely packed with people.

Many people are waiting eagerly.

When the freighter was still three hundred meters away, an order was given from the dock.

"play music!"

Then, a special team began to play music.

Freighter docked.

Most of the thousands of people on the dock knelt down in unison.

"Welcome to Commander Yi!"

Because this new army has 2,000 people and a total of four battalions, it can be regarded as a super-staffed wing.

The second-in-command of the new army and the general recruiting officer, son of the Monk King, Boyan Nemohu, led Yikuang, Ronglu and others, and bowed to Su Yi.

Where is Teinin?

What about Waitabu?

Su Yi frowned slightly, and Boyanna Mohu was extremely arrogant in the capital, but here he performed the ceremony quite respectfully.

This is unusual.

However, Su Yi's expression remained unchanged as he boarded the boat and returned the favor.

He looked at the thousand recruits.

These should all be elites selected by Boyan from various armies. They are indeed very good.

As the son of Seng Gelinqin, his reputation is indeed huge.

Each of these thousand people is physically strong and taller than ordinary people.

Just looking at his body, he is indeed a top-notch soldier.

Su Yi said: "Everyone has worked hard, please get up!"

However, these one thousand recruits remained motionless, still half-kneeling on the ground.

The expressions of the officers and mercenaries behind Su Yi suddenly changed.

This...is this Sir Su Yi's new army?

When they met for the first time, he actually disobeyed the commander's order.

Su Yi's expression remained unchanged, and she came directly to a battalion officer and reached out to help him.

"Thank you for your hard work, please get up!"

However, these one thousand recruits were still kneeling and motionless.

He ignored Su Yi's orders.

Boyan Namohu said in a cold voice: "Didn't you hear Commander Yi's order? Everyone, get up!"

Suddenly, more than a thousand people stood up in unison.

At this time, the officers behind Su Yi had faces as cold as frost.

On the contrary, Su Yi's expression remained unchanged.

Boyan said: "Commander Yi, these are the more than a thousand recruits I am responsible for recruiting. What do you think? Are you satisfied?"

Su Yi said: "Very good, thank you Boyantaiji for your hard work."

Then, Su Yi said: "The other half of the recruits are recruited from the private sector. Have Waitabu and the two of them already recruited them?"

Boyan said: "If I return to Yishuai, all recruitment has been completed."

Su Yi said: "What about these new recruits?"

Boyan looked embarrassed and said, "It's hard to tell. Please go and see for yourself, Shuai Yi."

Su Yi led the officer corps, mercenary team, and Bai family descendants, a total of hundreds of people, directly into the military camp.

Everything inside was empty.

Boyan said that the other half of the recruits that Su Yi was responsible for recruiting should also be completed.

Why not in the military camp?

Looking at Su Yi's back, Boyan and Yikuang looked at each other and smiled.

Lieutenant Colonel Hans whispered: "Our coach is in crisis!"

Colonel William said: "He met a challenger who controlled half of the army."

Yi Kuan stepped forward and said, "Brother Su Yi, are you going to move the guns and cannons into the camp and then let me take inventory?"

Su Yi said: "This is the responsibility of Waitabu, the General Logistics Office."

Upon hearing this, a flash of displeasure suddenly flashed in Yi Kuang's eyes.

Looking at the empty barracks, Su Yi's face was cold.

Boyan, Yikuang and others stood quietly and watched.

A moment later, Li Qi rushed over and knelt down towards Su Yi.

"Master, the more than a thousand new soldiers we recruited have gone to harvest food."

"Recently, there was a bumper harvest of millet. There were thousands of acres of land in the Zhili government office that needed to be harvested, so they hired people to harvest millet at a high price. The recruits we recruited were all young and strong farmers. When they heard the price, they were attracted by others. As soon as they were encouraged, they all went to do farm work for others.”

"Lord Waitabu and Lord Tingren have already led hundreds of soldiers to drive people away from the fields."

After Su Yi heard this, he responded with anger and laughed.

The thousand new soldiers he had just recruited were dragged away to do farm work?

Is this how he meets his recruits for the first time?

These new recruits did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

Leaving the military camp without permission is a capital offense.

This is Su Yi's most important military order, and it is posted everywhere in the military camp.

Of the thousand recruits recruited by Boyan, not even half of them left the camp.

So, now you can stand on the side and watch Su Yi's jokes.

These more than a thousand recruits leaving the camp without authorization are just a slap in the face of the coach.

Immediately afterwards, a temporary battalion officer came forward and said: "Commander Yi, as the temporary commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion, Wang Tianyang could not control his own soldiers, causing them all to leave the camp without permission. For such incompetence, Commander Yi should be punished."

Wang Tianyang, the head of the Yangwu Escort Bureau, was almost the first military attaché promoted by Su Yi.

Su Yi smiled and asked, "Who are you?"

The man said: "I will take temporary command of the second battalion, Zhaobu!"

Su Yi said: "Master Zhaolin's son, Lianbi's brother?"

Lianbi is Zhaolin's daughter Bingbing. She was unwilling to give in and participated in the draft again this year.

Then he finally chose her because she was beautiful and lively, and the emperor liked her very much and made her a lotus concubine.

And this lotus concubine is also unprecedented in history. It can be regarded as the butterfly effect brought about by Su Yi's time travel.

Su Yi nodded and said with a smile: "We are still relatives from the Wuya clan."

Next, Su Yi got on his horse and said, "Where are these new soldiers harvesting millet?"

Li Qi said: "It's about six miles away from here."

Su Yi said: "Lead the way."

"Yes!" Li Qi got on his horse.

Then, a group of twenty officers mounted their horses and followed Su Yi.

Boyan, Yikuang, Ronglu, Zhaobu and others also got on their horses.

The group of people rushed towards the fields six miles away.

…………………………………………

Soon after, Su Yi arrived at her destination.

The fields here stretch as far as the eye can see, perhaps tens of thousands of acres.

This year's millet harvest is huge, and countless people are buried in the fields, working hard to harvest.

In a pavilion, a wealthy middle-aged man was drinking tea and eating melon.

A group of people surrounded him, sometimes passing cigarettes and sometimes serving tea.

There were also two women squatting on both sides to knock his legs.

The seventh-rank official of the prime minister's family, and this person is Wang Tai, the steward of Zhili Governor Gui Liang.

Sitting next to him is Tianjin Town Guerrilla General Lu Zhong.

Tianjin Town Green Camp has always been under the jurisdiction of Zhili Governor.

And this endless farmland belongs to official fields, and most of the grain produced belongs to Tianjin Green Camp.

Even part of the grain supply of Su Ye's new army depends on this batch of grain.

So the opponent's strategy is very vicious!

Su Ye had just taken office, and he encountered two consecutive blows.

What they want to attack is Su Ye's prestige.

At this time, Wang Tianyang led dozens of people to the fields and tried their best to dissuade them.

"Brothers, leaving the camp without permission is a capital crime."

"Wing Marshal will be back soon. What will be the consequences if he doesn't see a new soldier in the camp?"

Including Huai Tabu and Ting Ren were also in the fields, persuading them one by one.

While persuading, threatening, let these new soldiers return to the camp.

"The money has been collected, and the work must be completed."

"Don't worry, sir, I won't come tomorrow."

"Anyway, the military training has not started yet. I'm here to do farm work and supplement the family income. Who can blame me?"

Huaitabu said: "Isn't it enough to give you three taels of salary a month? You still have to do farm work? Where do you put the face of the wing commander?"

"Hehe, three taels of salary, it's good to get one tael." The peasant recruit said: "I know the routine here very well."

The green camp soldier who was supervising next to him said coldly: "After collecting the money, you must complete the work. If you leave early, the general's mansion will not forgive you, and the governor's mansion will not forgive you either."

"Think it over carefully, who is more important, the general, or the governor?"

These 1,000 recruits were just farmers a few days ago.

Once they bury their heads in work, they will not care about anything.

Huaitabu and Tingren both look like handsome boys, without any prestige.

Boyan stepped forward and said, "General Yi, how about I bring some people to capture all of them?"

Su Ye ignored him and went directly to the pavilion, bowed and said, "I am Su Ye."

Butler Guiliang stood up and said, "Brother Su Ye, come and have some tea, have some tea."

The guerrilla general next to him said, "Guerrilla General, Lu Zhong."

Su Ye was a fourth-rank official, and the other party was also a fourth-rank official.

Su Ye said, "Are they my new army soldiers who are harvesting millet?"

Gui Liang said, "Yes."

Su Ye said, "According to military regulations, they are not allowed to leave the camp without permission."

Gui Liang said, "Brother Su Ye, you don't know that this is a government farm. You also have a share of the grain here."

Su Ye said, "But I have a military order. No one is allowed to leave the camp without permission."

Guerrilla General Lu Zhong said, "That's your problem. Why can't you, the new army, do farm work when our Green Camp soldiers do it?"

Su Ye said, "Excuse me, who hired my new army to harvest grain?"

Gui Liang's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said, "Is it me? What's wrong?"

Su Ye said, "Then please send my army back to the camp immediately."

The governor's housekeeper said, "That won't work. The money has been paid, and the work is only half done."

All of a sudden, everyone present looked at Su Ye.

He was directly put on the fire.

This group of people took advantage of Su Ye's absence and jointly set up a trap to create a big problem for Su Ye and help Boyan seize power. The power struggle is everywhere.

These 1,000 recruits have not yet realized that they are soldiers, and they still think they are farmers.

Colonel William and other officers also watched Su Ye's actions.

This is the first time Su Ye and the recruits have met. How should they end in such a complicated situation? .

Boyan and others watched coldly on the side.

What should Su Ye do? Burn the farmland directly with a fire?

Or gather hundreds of people to drive the more than 1,000 peasant recruits back to the barracks.

"Don't cut it, don't cut it!"

Wang Tianyang roared suddenly, saying: "Wing Marshal is here, Wing Marshal is here."

Suddenly, the more than 1,000 peasant recruits finally stopped their work, stood up, and looked at Su Ye.

"Hello, Wing Marshal!"

"Hello, Wing Marshal!"

"Wing Marshal is so handsome and so mighty!"

More than a thousand pairs of eyes stared at Su Ye, and they didn't even know they had made a mistake.

I don't know how passive my behavior will make Su Ye?

But everyone's eyes looking at Su Ye are full of passion.

Because they all heard that Su Ye was the first in the civil and military imperial examinations, what a great reputation.

Huai Tabu, Ting Ren, and Wang Tianyang came over quickly and knelt directly in front of Su Ye.

"General Yi, I am incompetent!"

"General Yi, I am incompetent!"

Wang Tianyang was so ashamed and angry that he kowtowed hard: "General Yi, I am incompetent!"

Everyone present stared at Su Ye.

In the face of such a situation, what would you do?

Get angry, get angry, and order someone to be arrested?

That is incompetent rage.

Everyone was waiting for Su Ye's thundering rage.

However, Su Ye took off his official robe and boots directly.

He rolled up his wrist, picked up the sickle, and went directly to the field.

He came to a peasant recruit and shouted loudly: "What are you still doing? Since we have started harvesting, finish the work!"

After that, Su Ye immediately started harvesting millet!

The people around him were stunned.

These peasant recruits were also stunned.

Such a high-ranking official actually went to the fields to harvest millet himself?

Wow, this is incredible.

He did a great job on the farm.

He harvested quickly and neatly.

If he were in the farm, he would definitely be a good hand at farm work.

Suddenly, the more than 1,000 recruits felt that the distance between them and the commander had shortened.

While harvesting, Su Ye chatted with the recruits on both sides.

"Brother, what's your name and how old are you?"

"Marshal, my name is Wang Danian, I'm nineteen this year."

Su Ye said, "Have you married?"

Wang Danian said, "No, my family is poor and I can't afford to marry a wife."

Su Ye said, "Why did you join the army?"

Wang Danian said, "I'm a glutton, I eat a lot, my parents and sister-in-law said they couldn't afford to support me, so they sent me to join the army."

Su Ye said to the strong man next to him, "Look at your smile, you're married?"

The handsome man said, "My name is Li Liang, and I'm not married."

Su Ye said, "Then you have a lover, or a widow, you smile too cunningly, you can tell at a glance that you've slept with a woman."

The man Li Liang said, "Marshal, you're so smart, you can even see this."

Next, Su Ye worked while playing with the group of new recruits.

More and more people gathered around him, vying to chat with him.

All they talked about were family matters, money, rice, oil and salt.

Everyone just felt that this general was really good and had no airs at all.

At the end of the work, Su Ye simply took off all his clothes, revealing his strong upper body.

"Brothers, let's compete..." Su Ye shouted.

Then, everyone worked hard to cut millet.

They worked happily.

They worked enthusiastically.

They were obviously cutting millet, but it looked like a war.

This work lasted for half a day.

Until the sun set.

Su Ye stood up.

All the millet in the more than 100 acres of land was cut.

Today's work was finally done.

All the more than 1,000 recruits also showed up and gathered around Su Ye.

A group of people talked and laughed.

"Do you want to give me a woman?" Su Ye said, "You coward, you have money and a future, do you still need a woman? The women have crawled into your bed by themselves."

"If you really can't find a woman, I will give it to you!"

Then the group of new soldiers shouted, "The Marshal is mighty, the Marshal is mighty!"

Su Ye came to the pavilion with laughter.

Wang Tai, the steward of the Governor's Mansion, gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Su Ye, I didn't realize that you are also good at farm work. You were a farmer in your previous life."

Then, the servants of the Governor's Mansion around him also laughed.

The guerrilla general Lu Zhong next to him laughed and said, "Brother Su Ye, you are really flexible."

There was no lack of sarcasm in his words.

The widow killer next to him, the new soldier Li Liang, said slyly: "Marshal, the woman who is tapping the legs on the right is pretty good."

Su Ye pulled out his knife and turned his ear to listen to the other person and said: "Really? Let me see."

Then, he slashed with a knife!

He directly chopped off the head of Wang Tai, the steward of the Governor's Mansion.

Then, the second knife, the third knife, the fourth knife!

He chopped off the heads of several servants around him.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were killed.

Then, he looked at the woman who was still tapping the legs of the corpse of the Governor's steward, nodded to the new soldier Li Liang, and said gently: "Well, it's really good, you have a good eye."

…………………………………………

Note: The second update is here. Marshals, if you have monthly tickets, remember to give them to me, okay? I kowtow to you.
