    UK November 25th

    The carriage slowly stopped in front of the main entrance of the Embassy of the Qing Empire in Britain. After the carriage stopped, Xuanhua, who was sitting on the driver's seat, immediately jumped out of his seat and walked over quickly to open the door for Ren Lingyu.  The latter immediately jumped out of the car, and then, together with He Qianting behind him, carefully helped Yang Licheng, who was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, down.

    Xue Fucheng and Yan Fu, who had been waiting at the entrance of the embassy for a long time, immediately stepped forward to greet them.

    "What happened to Shouzheng? How did he become like this in just a few days?" Seeing his student become like this, Yan Fu's expression immediately became anxious.

    "I've been infected with wind and cold, and I've been suffering from a high fever for the past few days!" Ren Lingyu also looked at Yang Licheng, whose entire head and face was covered, with a worried look on his face, "I won't say more, let's help him in first."

    Yan Fu said no more, only nodded solemnly, and then stepped forward together with Xuanhua and He Qianting to help Yang Licheng into the legation.

    Gansu year 1227)

    The setting sun hidden behind the horizon used its afterglow to reflect a group of wave-like clouds in bright red. The semicircular green, blue and white roofs of the mosques with domes and columns in Hezhou City were also illuminated as if they were plated.  A layer of red gold.  The returning tired birds were chirping and hovering in the dark red glow, adding a bit of melancholy to the dusk.

    Since the evening.  The three banners of the Hezhou Town Cavalry stationed in the inner part of Hezhou City except for a few soldiers guarding the camp were left behind.  The rest all came out in droves.  They camped on the spot near the water outside the city wall of Hezhou.  Tens of thousands of people stood in solemn silence.  A huge empty field was formed around the field.

    On the dimly lit platform.  A sturdy man sitting at the head of the main seat nodded slightly to the officer with a plain gold cap standing in front of everyone.  And the officer wearing the rhino patch suit immediately took a step forward.  Swing the command flag in his right hand downwards suddenly.  He shouted loudly: "The First Battalion of Zuo Banner. Please order the northwest military training minister to review the drill!"

    The words have not yet finished.  More than 1,000 cavalrymen on the left side of the platform have already marched out together.  But it can be black, red, yellow, white, chestnut, or green.  More than a thousand horses galloped and charged.  Like clouds and waves.  Like the flowing Teima River roaring.  Rush straight to the empty field in front of the platform.  The cavalry on horseback were constantly changing their formations under the leadership of their respective commanders and other officers.  Sometimes horizontally.  Sometimes walking vertically.  The yellow dust rolled into the sword, and the shadow of the sword was filled with murderous intent.  Thousands of horses are galloping on the pasture, and thousands of hooves are flying.  Grass blades and yellow dust dance together.  The horse's neigh resonates with the people's shouts.  A powerful and masculine aura.

    See this situation.  Although the middle-aged man surrounded by people on the platform was still sitting still.  But after raising the clairvoyant in his hand, he never put it down.  He stared at the cavalry galloping in the field.  He frowned for a while.  Smile for a moment.  After a while, there was no sound again.  A long time passed.  He then handed the telescope in his hand to the sturdy man in the lower area.  He smiled and said, "I have heard for a long time that the Hezhou cavalry's equestrian skills are excellent. They are even better than the Manchu and Mongolian athletes. I saw them today. They are indeed well-deserved!  Han Ru. He has good training skills."

    "Your Excellency, you have given me the prize."  The strong man stood up quickly and bowed in salute.  He replied respectfully to the middle-aged man.  But with his right hand behind his back, he made a gesture to the general holding the flag.  And that will always be the case.  Immediately, he waved the flag to the cavalry in the field and issued an order - more than a thousand cavalry in the field were seen galloping their horses.  He headed towards the pasture in the distance in front of the platform and rode away.  Then they turned the horses' heads one by one.  Regroup facing the platform.

    The middle-aged man immediately noticed something strange in the field.  He raised his slender brows slightly.  Just about to speak.  But he immediately stopped talking - only the sound of hoofbells in the middle of the field was heard.  A chrysanthemum green horse came galloping.  Immediately, a young man in white clothes stood with one foot on his back and arms spread out.  Driving a horse around the field like a revolving lantern.  The knight in white occasionally flipped over on his horse.  Sometimes he does handstand splits.  Holding the saddle with one hand and spinning flatlythe middle-aged man was almost dumbfounded by his outstanding equestrian skills.  He opened his mouth to cheer.  But he saw that the knight in white who was riding a golden rooster suddenly missed.  Falling down like a green onion!

    The middle-aged man's heart suddenly tightened, and before he could say anything, he was shocked and saw the knight in white with his right foot in the stirrup, his left foot hooked on the saddle, and with one hand he grabbed the horse's bow and arrow.  No one knew what his technique was, but the arrows suddenly shot out one by one. Each of the dozens of two-foot-high short wooden stakes in the center of the field had an arrow nailed to the top!  And the tens of thousands of cavalry gathered around the place immediately started drinking Zhentiancai together.

    "Okay!", the middle-aged man finally shouted out the cheer he had been holding in his chest. He could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and cheered on his seat.He jumped up, walked to the edge of the platform in a few steps, pointed at the knight in white who was circling the field and being cheered by tens of thousands of cavalry, and said to the strong man following him: "Hanru, who is that?"  "

    The strong man was also happy, but he still suppressed the joy in his heart. He bowed and replied: "Returning to the imperial envoy, that is my cousin Ma Dao." He said while feeling the lightning-fast running.  : "Why does the Queen Mother want us to train troops in the northwest? Isn't it possible to train an elite army after seeing through that the Han Dynasty here is a mixed place, and the folk customs are simple and tough, and there are not as many places to have fun as in Gyeonggi and Zhili.  ", he suddenly changed the topic again, "Taixing, how is your recruitment of troops going?  "

    "My lord, 70% of the first batch of 5,000 people have been recruited. However, my lord has clearly ordered that the second infantry and artillery team only needs Han people, so they have not yet recruited all of them." He thought for a while and continued: "I wonder if we can recruit some soldiers.  …”

    "Only Han Chinese!" Ronglu said categorically. "The Second Infantry and Artillery Corps only wants Han soldiers, not a single returning soldier. Also, regardless of other things, I can't wait until the first batch of 5,000 soldiers is recruited. That's all for now."  Man, first set up the marching artillery team and the Green Rapids gun team for me you need to use more explosive shells when practicing the marching artillery, do you hear me?"

    "I understand." Taixing'a was shocked. He looked at Ronglu with a bit of awe - the camp cannon was equipped with explosive shells and the Green cannon. These two things belong to the cavalry.  Nemesis

    December 31, Japan

    The huge exposed turret at the stern of the forecastle of the "Songdao" protected cruiser finally stopped rotating slowly. After a series of busy and disorderly operations, the legal 38-caliber 320-meter Ghana gun mounted muzzle-to-mouth  The cannon finally fired a huge projectile after a loud noise.

    After the violently shaking ship finally came to a slow stop, Huashan Ziji, who was standing on the bow fly bridge, wordlessly picked out the cotton balls in his ears.  "Island" Captain Omoto knew the naval commander, so he just lowered his head and stared at the pocket watch in his palm, and said calmly: "48 minutes"

    Omoto knew that the colonel's head was hanging even lower - from the beginning of preparation to firing the first projectile, the "Matsushima" actually took 48 minutes, and this was the highest rate of fire since the ship was formed!

    "A small boat can carry a big cannon. It's not easy for Omoto-kun to do this. If they were really useful, there would be no need to rebuild Akitsusu." Rear Admiral Yuhiro Ito immediately saw this.  Step forward to help Omoto know the situation.

    "As Yamamoto-kun said, these three coastal defense ships are simply 'naked soldiers with sharp blades in their hands' Your Excellency." Seeing that Kaguyama Shiki's expression softened a lot, Ito Yuhiro's expression was solemn.  He changed the topic: "To defeat the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Fleet, the Imperial Navy needs at least two truly second-class ironclad ships!"

    "You don't have to worry too much about this matter." Huashan Ziji suddenly looked relieved. He took a step forward, holding on to the railing on the "Songdao" flybridge, and said with a smile: "It will be 1892 soon.  Now, in the new year, I believe we will get a real surprise"
