Chapter 42 Chapter 22 Settle the Russians with the old lady

Yuan Shikai's subordinate ranked first was Wang Shizhen, but this Wang Shizhen was not Wang Shizhen. No one knew his name, but he was definitely not Wang Shizhen. He is obviously not Wang Shizhen, so why is he called Wang Shizhen? This is because, as early as the beginning of Yuan Shikai's military training, he recruited soldiers everywhere and got a person named Wang Shizhen, but the real Wang Shizhen was unwilling to serve as a soldier and felt tired, so this fake came under the name of Wang Shizhen ...and the real Wang Shizhen was carrying water and doing long-term work in the landlord's house at this time. He didn't have enough food and clothing to keep warm, sweat beads fell to the ground, and he was exploited by the landlord's old money. ...But this fake Wang Shizhen has taken over his name since then, and never gave it back to others... I just feel sorry for that unlucky Wang Shizhen, even his name was taken away by the landlord Lao Cai...

Yuan Shikai's subordinates ranked second, Duan Qirui from Hefei. This person will have three contributions to the republic in the future. He is the most representative key figure in the Beiyang Department. He studied in Germany and led the student army in the Sino-Japanese War Fighting with the Japanese at the Weihaiwei Fort, the only enemy in life is Japan, so the Japanese are also most interested in him.Later, when the Japanese invaded China, they wanted to capture him as a traitor. Fortunately, Lao Duan trained a student who was up to the challenge——Chiang Kai-shek.Lao Jiang snatched Lao Duan away to avoid the humiliation of the Japanese, and finally he was able to spend his old age in peace.

Yuan Shikai's subordinates ranked third, Feng Guozhang.This is also a legendary hero. He has sneaked into the battlefield where Japan and Russia were fiercely fighting many times to spy on the situation and observe the battle situation. He even went to Japan to inspect the Japanese military system and compiled it into a book. Nie Shicheng.Nie Shicheng thought that a big soldier who wrote so many words was probably due to a neurological problem, so he suggested that Lao Feng see a doctor.Disappointed, Feng Guozhang dedicated his book of war to Yuan Shikai. Yuan Daxi immediately entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and it was Feng Guozhang who stood out.

Yuan Shikai's subordinate ranked fourth, named Liang Huadian, and his military talent was not inferior to that of Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang.However, Brother Liang was out of luck. During a camping training, he stumbled and fell into the water and drowned.A bright future is beckoning to him, but this man drowned himself, and he will die if he dies, but this position on the ranking list must be reserved for him. Yuan Shikai's subordinates ranked fifth, named Cao Kun.This person started as a cloth dealer, once sold cloth in the market, met a fortune teller, said: You have the appearance of an emperor.Cao Kun thought the sorcerer was mocking him, so he beat him violently, thinking that this guy might be right, so he left the fortune teller instead of beating him, and went to join the army.This time he went to worship under Yuan Shikai and became a powerful figure in the small station.

However, Cao Kun has a shortcoming. He treats people too sincerely and kindly, and he is a sincere believer in the belief of the Republic of China. What he believes in is: I don’t agree with your point of view, but I swear to protect your right to speak... Everyone saw that this person was so stupid, so they yelled at him. After a long time, the three of them became tigers. Thousands of people blamed him. Black and white were turned upside down. Lao Cao was finally scolded for a long time... If Lao Cao knew it underground, he would definitely It would be very surprising. Although there are many talents, Zhang Xun is the most unusual of Yuan Shikai's subordinates.

Zhang Xun was recommended to Su Yuanchun, the admiral of Guangxi, to seek food when he was young. Su Yuanchun gave him 20,000 yuan and asked him to go to Shanghai to order military uniforms. When he arrived in Shanghai, he was fascinated by the beauties in Shanghai and spent all his money. clean.If he went back like this, he would definitely be beheaded, so others advised him to run away, but he said: Spend all the money, because I am a man, but if I run away, I am not a man.He swaggered back to die.Su Yuanchun was astonished to see this strange guy who couldn't even run away but came back to die, so he was arrested and sentenced to death, but secretly sent someone to release him and wrote a letter of recommendation to Yuan Shikai.Yuan Shikai liked this kind of fool very much, so he took it under his flag.

In addition to these people, Yuan Shikai also has a powerful assistant in the court-Xu Shichang! Regarding Xu Shichang, Empress Dowager Cixi has a fair evaluation: Xu Shichang is not enough to replace Li Hongzhang. This comment comes from after the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895: The Russians harmed the three eastern provinces of China, and the imperial court sent ministers to reason with the Russians. They didn’t want the Russians to ignore anyone but Li Hongzhang, and even raised a boxer named Piedlov. , All the ministers who went to reason with the Russians were all beaten by Piedlov with blood coming from their noses and mouths, and returned in a state of embarrassment.

So the Empress Dowager Cixi sent Xu Shichang an urgent message, and ordered: "Little Xu, go to the Northeast quickly and settle the Russians with my old lady..." Xu Shichang went to the northeast excitedly.When he got there, he heard a roar, and the Russian strongman Pyedlov jumped out and rushed towards Xu Shichang, but he saw a person flashing out from behind Xu Shichang, who punched Pyedlov left, kicked right, and then Two slaps in the face made Piedlov scurry all over the floor, with blood coming from his nose and mouth, tears streaming down his face, and he kept calling Mommy... Looking at the person who flashed out behind Xu Shichang, it turned out to be a famous Chinese martial arts master Sun Lutang also!

Xu Shichang, together with Yuan Shikai, one civil and one military, one internal and one external, constituted the basic framework for the stability of the Qing Dynasty. Training troops at the small station is like opening the vegetable cellar of Zhang Tianshi's house and releasing all the evil stars of Tiangang and Earth. In addition to these evil stars, there are also a group of Japanese spies in the Beiyang Army.
