Chapter 009 Eat food as a soldier
Zhou Charter doesn't know what the governor's office is. Seeing that the gate is heavily guarded and the sentry is strong and powerful, which is completely different from the situation on the street, it must be the governor's office.
According to Feng Guozhang, when he arrived at the governor's government, he was the "ran party" and brought to justice, and the next step was to behead his head and show it to the public!
Zhou Charter is not afraid of death. Anyway, he has died once!
But he is afraid of beheading!
The feeling of beheading is not good, and the death is extremely ugly.
Zhou Charter had no choice but to resist and said, "Feng Jiaoxi, what crime have I committed? Why do you want to cut off my head?"
Feng Guozhang sneered: "You dare to be stubborn in this place!" Well, this tutorial will make it clear to you and convince you! Criminal Zhou Charter, listen, you have committed two major crimes. First, talk about the government and slander the court! Second, spread heresy, instigate me to cut my braids, and plot to shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty! Both of these two sins are enough to behead. If you commit two crimes, how can you live!"
"Feng Jiaoxi, I'm just saying, and there is no real job. You are guilty for your words..."
" Shut up! This instructor is telling you that in the Qing Dynasty, if you don't agree, the whole family will be beheaded, and there will be nine clans! Your boy said more than a word, it's enough to kill your ten clans! The old and young man in your family has already been buried in the belly of the fish, and he will cut off your head alone. This is a special gift from the court. Don't thank you!"
The flood engulfed countless villages on both sides of the canal, and the people's families were everywhere. Zhou Charter climbed out of the canal alone, and obviously he was the only one left in the family.
In the 19th century, the Qing Dynasty was at a time when he was convicted of his words. Feng Guozhang's words were apoctive, and Zhou Charter was so angry that he could be resisted by the black muzzle, which was also helpless.
When Feng Guozhang saw that Zhou Charter was honest, he was secretly happy and said, "However, this instructor can also show you a way to abandon the secret life."
There is a way to live!
Zhou Charter said in a hurry, "Mr. Feng, please speak!"
"Look there."
Zhou Charter followed Feng Guozhang's hand and saw a platform under the gate. There was a square table on the platform, and a soldier sat at the table, dressed exactly like Feng Guozhang. A group of young and strong men lined up under the platform, walked on the platform in order, and took a strip from the soldiers. Son, take the strip. Zi walked into the gate of Tucheng.
"What does that do?" Zhou Charter asked.
"Would you like to eat food and become a soldier?"
"I don't want to!" Zhou Charter said decisively. Although Zhou Charter did not know much about the history of the Qing Dynasty, he knew that the Qing army at the end of the 19th century was not only defeated but also defeated! When I became a soldier in the 21st century, I was scolded as a pig! And at the end of the 19th century, when the Qing Dynasty was still a soldier, it was worse than a pig!
"Bold!" Feng Guozhang shouted angrily, "This teacher is also a rare talent to see your outstanding shooting skills and some infantry exercises. This is why I recommend you to go to school! You son of a bitch don't know how to lift, or you can turn back to me. Now let's go to the governor's office and let the governor cut off your head!"
"What, isn't this the governor's government?" Zhou Charter asked in shock.
"Open your dog's eyes and cut it clearly. What's written on the gate!"
Zhou Charter looked up and saw a line of big words on the gate - "Tianjin Wubei School".
It turned out that Feng Guozhang had no intention of cutting off Zhou Charter's head at all.
Zhou Charter showed good shooting skills in the beach and good insights on the street, which made Feng Guozhang sigh with great emotion. These days, there are too few people who can work with their heads and hands!
Feng Guozhang originally suspected that Zhou Charter was the remnants of Mao's party or bandits, and planned to escort Zhou Charter back to the city for careful interrogation. However, Zhou Charter's high opinion on infantry training made Feng Guozhang change his mind.
It is impossible for long hair or bandits to be so proficient in modern infantry exercises and tactics. You should know that these things have been given to Chinese students by German instructors and professors hired by Tianjin Military Academy in the past three years. Except for Tianjin Military Academy, no one has heard of this kind of thing. How do hairy bandits understand this?
Feng Guozhang's thoughts are not conservative or even radical. In his opinion, even if Zhou Charter has something to do with the long-haired bandits, the long-haired bandits have long been calmed down, and the few remaining parties can completely allow them to reform as long as they are no longer enemies of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty lacks military talents such as Zhou Charter. If Zhou Charter can be used by the Qing Dynasty, even if he has been a bandit, it is also a blessing for the country.
Therefore, Feng Guozhang wants to get Zhou Charter into Tianjin Martial Arts School as a student, that is, to be a soldier. This kind of cadet is different from the bravery of the Xianghuai Army and the useless young master soldiers of the Eight Banner Green Battalion.
Tianjin Wubei School is a modern army military talent training school founded by Li Hongzhang. Whether it is the imperial court or Li Zhongtang, they attach great importance to the school and are enough to enter the school. They are all brave soldiers selected from the battalions of the Qing army. They have to be selected layer by layer. They are the elites in the Qing army.
Zhou Charter is not an active soldier. He is just a drowning refugee, and his origin is unknown. He was originally not qualified to enter the school.
Feng Guozhang is eager to love talent and is also a teacher of the school. He intends to recommend Zhou Charter for admission to the school in his own name.
Of course, Feng Guozhang is just a small teacher. He is not even sure whether he can listen to him or not.
But anyway, the first step is to persuade Zhou Charter to agree to join the school.
However, in the Qing Dynasty, it was extremely difficult to persuade a person to become a soldier.
These days, the people have a natural resistance to being a soldier, and even hate it! As the saying goes, a good man is not a soldier if you don't nail a good iron. Speaking of which, this is related to the mercenary system in the Qing Dynasty. The purpose of being a soldier is to make a living. In the eyes of the people, those who go to the army are all rogues who can't gain a foothold in their hometown, so they go to work as soldiers.
In the Qing Dynasty, the social status of soldiers was lower than that of prostitutes.
This can be seen from the selection of students from Tianjin Wubei School.
The Qing Dynasty has accumulated malpractices for a long time, and corruption has infiltrated every cell of the officialdom system. All kinds of selections in the Qing Dynasty, whether they are electing officials or examing Xiucai, even if they want to be a small sman, are all over the sky. The officials of the Qing Dynasty, from alternates to incumbent, are piled up with silver.
The students and soldiers of Tianjin Wubei School enjoy the salaries of the court and have no worries about food and clothing. In today's words, they are national civil servants, which should be a good job. Since they are bad, according to the unspoken rules of the Qing Dynasty, they can't enter the school without a little blood.
However, the selection of students of Tianjin Military Academy is not corrupt at all.
No one sends money to officials and teachers at all levels in the school.
The reason is very simple. Anyone who has a way doesn't want to be a soldier, let alone go to school.
The social status of soldiers is already low enough. In Tianjin Wubei School, he did not learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, but followed the red-haired and blue-eyed foreigners to learn the strange ** skills, which is simply a slave of foreigners! How can Chinese people with a sense of justice enter the school!
So, in the eyes of the Chinese people, cadets are more humble than soldiers! Two levels worse than prostitutes!
In this way, Tianjin Wubei School does strictly follow the procedures for the selection of students at all levels, and there are no unspoken rules. In the corrupt Qing Dynasty, such a muddy and spotless strange thing has been achieved.
Therefore, according to Feng Guozhang's general experience, if you want to persuade Zhou Charter to enter the school, it is better than to ascend to the sky!
Feng Guozhang's brain is also very clever. Since persuasion is difficult to work, he simply adopts a high-pressure policy, weaves several major crimes of beheading Zhou Charter, and forcing Zhou Charter to comply.
