The recruitment process of Beiyang Armed Forces Academy is slightly different from Lu Hong's imagination. It is obvious that among the two thousand students, it seems to be quite difficult to recruit subordinates who at least make him look easy to manage. It took a day of tossing in the academy. There were quite a few people who lined up for interviews, but not many of them really caught Lu Hong's fancy. After all, a total of 31 soldiers including Ouyang Hao were recruited, and the difference was not small. It seems that the concept of being a soldier, getting paid, and becoming an official and making a fortune is definitely the mainstream of the mainstream. My dream of attracting a new group of young people by relying on my concept is obviously unrealistic However, at any rate, There were still about thirty men under his command, but he still lacked manpower. He thought about it and decided not to rush to recruit for the time being. After all, in the future, the most important thing would be skills rather than numbers. Returning to Tianjin Guard, he reported the errand to Wang Renkan. The champion was obviously too lazy to get involved in such matters, and directly appointed Lu Hong to be in charge of the Yong Camp. After all, these soldiers may not be useful in the first place to ensure safety along the way. That is the most important responsibility, and there is a group of staff to handle the specific affairs! That night, Lu Hong went to visit Zhang Peilun again with Huang Tifang's letter. This man is now a behind-the-scenes figure in the Zhili Governor's Mansion, but he obviously has a very good influence on Li Hongzhang. What Huang Tifang actually said in his letter was to strengthen the influence of the North Korean royal family. After all, Li Hongzhang is now the big man who can influence North Korea the most. Zhang Peilun obviously understands what Huang Tifang means. It is obvious that these big shots in the court avoid interacting with Japan. The idea of ????going to war is very urgent, but with the occurrence of the second assassination, the things mentioned in this letter have obviously lost their original meaning "Lu Yunpan, I'm afraid you don't know that today Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Okuzongguang has questioned North Korea and asked the North Korean royal family to explain the excessive behavior of sending military personnel to Japan!" Zhang Peilun thought for a long time after reading the letter. Lu Honggong handed over his hand, "Mr. Zhang, the Japanese will naturally not miss this opportunity However, I think that the Japanese government is currently preparing for war, and their excuses have obviously been made by the Koreans. Provided! A Korean royal family that has completely lost its state system obviously needs to carry out more drastic reforms! " "You mean the Japanese may send troops immediately?" Zhang Peilun frowned. He had more information than Lu Hong. In fact, after learning about this bizarre assassination, North Korean Minister of Trade Yuan Shikai had already asked Keisuke Ohtori, the Japanese ambassador to North Korea, to confirm the domestic trends in Japan Of course, Keisuke Ohtori did not hesitate to reply to him Prime Minister Ito's Sino-Japanese friendship However, Li Hongzhang was obviously very worried about the Japanese's stance. Lu Hong immediately denied Zhang Peilun's speculation, "Master Zhang, these two consecutive assassinations happened suddenly, just like us, and the Japanese must have not expected it Mr. Huang asked me to visit you, and I hope you will try your best. Remind the Lord of the Central Hall that you must make plans early in preparation for war!" Zhang Peilun frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded to Lu Hong, obviously approving of this matter, and pointed to Huang Tifang's letter, "Lu Hong, You are here to supervise military discipline. This is a job that is easy to lose your head. Since Mr. Huang has entrusted me with it, remember to catch and release! " "Catch and release Lu Hong immediately realized the meaning of this. However, Lao Zhang was very unethical and didn't say anything further, and even served tea to the guests! That night, Wang Renkan called Lu Hong and Yan Fu and announced the decision he had just made. The itinerary for supervising the navy had been determined. He would first go south to Shanghai to supervise the Nanyang Navy under the jurisdiction of Governor Liu Kunyi of Liangjiang, and then go south. Supervising the Guangzhou Navy, and finally the Beiyang Navy, Lu Hong and others naturally had no objections to this decision. The number one scholar obviously reached some consensus with Li Zhongtang. Of course, reaching a consensus is obviously a good choice, and there are even incidental dividends. When leaving Tianjin Zizhulin Pier two days later, Lu Hong and his party boarded the large cargo ship "Chengyu" of the Navy Chartered Steamship Merchants Bureau, while Yang Shixiang Representative Li Zhongtang went to the pier to see him off. Before leaving, he had a pleasant chat with Wang Renkan. Before leaving, Lu Hong hurriedly went to the telegraph office and then to the Tianjin Armed Forces Academy to bring over all the men from Yongying. Ouyang Hao obviously worked very hard to fulfill his duties as a temporary sentry officer. He was originally a military officer in the Armed Forces Academy. The leader of the current student squadron, and now he only has 30 people in charge, and there is no pressure at all. However, after boarding the "Chengyu", he discovered that this mainland man was more demanding and strict in leading and training troops than the German instructors in the school. Lu Hong divided the thirty people into three teams. In addition to Ouyang Hao being designated as the team leader, Ouyang Hao recommended the team leaders and deputy team leaders of the three teams. This fully gave Ouyang Hao a sense of trust. The second is to make full use of Ouyang Hao's advantage of being more familiar with the situation than himself. After that, Lu Hong immediately followed the requirements of his later special training and almost completelyThe training subjects were copied and he personally conducted demonstrations in the back cabin of the Chengyu cargo ship. Standing, standing, walking, and walking exercises were naturally a no-brainer, but physical training such as crawling, leapfrog, and push-ups were not included. Things like the 5-kilometer endurance run, which cannot be done on board, were also arranged in advance. Yinchang was very flattering when he assigned these students to them. Each of them was given a new fast rifle from the Jiangnan Bureau. Lu Hong fully appreciated this type of rifle. This thing was a replica of the Jiangnan Factory. Even compared to the Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher 5-Lianzhu, which was just imitated last year, it is not inferior at all. In terms of firearms shooting, he did not carry out many reforms. After all, rifles in this era are still in a rapid transformation zone, and the rate of fire is becoming a rapid development direction of firearms. Although fast rifles still have some disadvantages in terms of craftsmanship, Flaws, but in other respects it is indeed very advanced. Lu Hong's current training for this group of subordinates mainly focuses on military quality. He had an in-depth discussion with Ouyang Hao before, and found a serious deficiency in the military training of Tianjin Military Academy Most of the people recruited by Tianjin Military Academy come from He was recommended by the Huai Army and also recruited scholars who were willing to join the army. Ouyang Hao was a scholar from Zhili who decided to join the army. However, after joining the army, he felt extremely helpless when he came into contact with a lot of corruption within the Huai Clan's military training Moreover, these military corruptions all came from the instructions of senior military officers. This This made him even more unacceptable, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was not a fool. He naturally understood that if he went against this force, there would be no chance of victory. Therefore, when Lu Hong came to recruit people, he had high expectations. Although the concepts of future military training he heard from Lu Hong could not be said to subvert the operational concepts of German instructors, they did make him understand the principles of military training. core.
