Chapter 50 turning point

Just as Cixi was advancing with power, Yuan Xiaosi's opportunity also came. While Yuan Xiaosi was sharpening his knife in his courtyard in Huaiyang, good news came from Shandong! In 1881, the three major naval divisions of the Qing Dynasty began to get on the right track.Wu Changqing, a good brother of Yuan Xiaosi's stepfather Yuan Baoqing and admiral of the Guangdong Navy (Navy Commander) came to Dengzhou, Shandong to train the navy.Because the only descendant of his old brother Yuan Baoqing had no job yet, Wu Changqing wrote to Xiao Si, asking him to come to the army to study and do errands. The position is probably the staff officer of the combat department today.

After receiving the letter from Uncle Wu, the 22-year-old Yuan Xiaosi was ecstatic, and he secretly made up his mind: this is where he will start to become famous on the battlefield. After entering the army, Xiaosi worked hard and was motivated, and his performance made Uncle Wu feel very comforted. After Xiao Si worked hard for a year, that is, in 1882, a major event happened in Korea, a subsidiary country of the Qing Dynasty.
