Chapter 020 General-level Management Belt
Two members of the imperial court came to the school, and the school authorities attached great importance to it. Na Jin asked from the general office to the chef, all of whom should stick to their posts and not ask for leave.
Jin also couldn't figure out what medicine Li Hongzhang and Weng Tong sold in the gourd. However, it is clear that the two majors come here, no matter what the purpose is, they always have to test the students, even if they go through the exam.
Jin doesn't want to miss this opportunity. Li Hongzhang and Weng Tonghao are both important figures in the court. If Zhou Charter is appreciated by either of them, there is hope to bring Zhou Charter to Guozijian.
Therefore, the Sinology class, which was supposed to be held until 11 p.m., just arrived at 9 p.m., and Jin finished the class and asked Zhou Charter to go back to the dormitory to prepare well. He must fully show his strength in front of the two court members.
Of course, Jin has no illusions about Zhou Charter's military achievements. He just hopes that Zhou Charter can write a good policy theory for the two members to see.
Zhou Charter doesn't have any special feeling about tomorrow's school entrance examination. Anyway, he just answers randomly. In the past eight months, he has done this in every exam, and his final score is 60 points. As for the policy theory, he has already memorized one, and then he can recite it and hand it in.
Since entering the school, Jin has been very strict with Zhou Charter. He is afraid that his student will be unlearned and ruin his reputation. Every night, he will go to 11 o'clock, and 11 o'clock is the time for the dormitory to blow out the lights. Zhou Charter must rush back to the dormitory, otherwise he will be punished. Therefore, Zhou Charter has never appreciated the night of the school for so long.
It's a rare leisure time tonight. Zhou Charter didn't want to go back to the dormitory so early. He walked around and unconsciously walked to the pond.
The pond is an artificial lake, which is formed by the water of the sea and rivers. It was set up by the school to train and build a military bridge. The pond is surrounded by willows, and flowers and trees are flourishing. There is an island in the center of the pool. A wooden bridge is connected to the shore, but there is also some scenery, and the pond has become a place for the students to relax.
Zhou Charter stepped on the moonlight and came to the pond, but saw the moonlight, sparkling, a few remnants of leaves floating on the water, and the new willows on the shore, swaying with the wind, quietly silent, like a dream.
In his memory, Xiangxi also has such a moonlight, but until now. Zhou Charter really doesn't understand whether the moonlight in front of him is a dream or the moonlight in western Hunan is a dream!
Zhou Charter remembered the story of Zhuang Sheng's dream butterfly taught by Jin, so he learned the appearance of Jin and shook his head and chanted: "I don't know that Zhou's dream is a butterfly? Butterfly's dream for Zhou Yu? Zhou and the butterfly..."
Suddenly, I heard a sharp scolding in the depths of the willow shade: "Who!"
Zhou Charter didn't expect that there were others by the pond. He was shocked and followed the sound and saw two people coming out of height and one short under the shade of the willow.
Both of them are dressed in military uniforms, but they are completely different from the military uniforms of Tianjin Military Academy.
The two wore black hats, blue Chinese coats, embroidered with edges and cloud patterns at the hem of the coat, brown belts around their waists, and long leather boots on their feet.
That's the military uniform of the Beiyang Marine Division!
The Qing army, whether it is the Eight Banners, the Green Camp or the Xianghuai Army, has a large iconic circle on the uniform, like a living target. Although the Beiyang Marine Division still continued the coat of the Qing army, it abandoned the live target-like circle, and the color of the clothing fabric was also very exquisite. It was no longer a wrinkled and gray coarse cloth, but imitated the Western navy and used sea-blue tweed material, which was very spiritual to wear.
There is almost no difference in the uniforms of the officers and soldiers of the Qing army, only the battalion officers are equipped with armor, which is different from the soldiers.
However, the military uniform of Beiyang Marine Division can be seen at a glance.
Beiyang Marines imitated the military rank system of Westerners, combined with the national conditions of the Qing Dynasty, and made their own set of "military ranks".
Each cuff of the military uniform has three hollow cloud head patterns. The pattern is embroidered with the word "shou" in different fonts. The font and number of the word longevity determines the position of the owner. In short, the sailor's admiral has 9 lives, with 7 pipes and 6 first mates, which are decreasing in turn.
Among the two, the one on the right is thin, with a melon seed face, white face, willow eyebrows and big eyes, very elegant. There is no longevity in the cloud on the cuffs. It seems that he is an ordinary sailor.
The one on the left is burly, about 40 years old, and there are 7 longevity words in his cuffs!
This shows that he is at least a tube belt!
Moreover, it is not the pipe belt of ordinary gunships, at least the pipe belt of ironclad cruisers.
The armored cruiser is the most advanced warship in the world today. It has thick armor, large tonnage, fast speed and strong artillery fire. It is a giant on the sea.
The grade of the iron armored cruiser belt of the Qing Dynasty is equivalent to that of the generals, which is second-class senior generals second only to the Admiral!
Zhou Charter was greatly surprised.
In the Qing army, Tianjin Wubei School and Beiyang Marine Division are the two trump cards in Li Hongzhang's hands, and they are also the two pillars of the imperial court. Both of them are the favorites of the imperial court and are a little domineering. However, there is still well water between the two.
This evening, two Beiyang Marine Divisions suddenly appeared in Tianjin Wubei School, and one of them was also a general soldier.
The soldiers around him shouted sharply, "Hey, you don't go back to the barracks in the middle of the night. What do you want to do here?" Do you want to be unfaithful? Be honest!"
The Beiyang Marine Division is a high-tech service of the Qing Dynasty. It is a high-tech military service of the Qing Dynasty. The officers and soldiers are much higher than those of the Xianghuai Army of the Qing Dynasty, and even the Eight Banner Army is beyond its reach. The officers are all foreign students, and their overall quality is much higher than that of the army. The officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Marine Division generally look down on the army and are supported by the imperial court. They eat differently, dress differently, and speak differently. A soldier dares to scold people!
Zhou Charter is angry. The cadets and soldiers of Tianjin Armed Forces School enjoy the treatment of the total number of generals. According to common sense, the soldiers should welcome him. This is good that a small soldier dares to drink up the general!
Zhou Charter wanted to scold the soldier for a few words, but he saw the seven longevity characters on his cuff standing majestically and not arrogant. He was a soldier-level member!
Zhou Charter had to suppress his anger and salute a Western-style military salute to Guandai: "Zhou Charter, the fourth infantry scientist, have seen Lord Guandai!"
The little soldier raised his eyebrows and shouted harshly, "Bold! Since you know it's an adult, don't kneel down! Do you want to rebel?"
Zhou Charter said neither arrogant nor humblely, "I'm sorry, Tianjin Wubei School implements Western-style military rites, and you can't kneel down to worship!"
In fact, Tianjin Wubei School implements double gifts. German teachers strongly demand Western-style military salute, and most of the management of the school are relatives and noble. They have a special preference for kneeling and worship, especially those who will do Najin. They attach great importance to salute. In his opinion, what kind of salute is related to the ethics. He even regards kneeling as a line of defense against Chinese civilization. If it is abolished If you kneel and worship, it will be the collapse of the ceremony and music, and the country will not be a country!
Finally, the two sides reached a compromise. When teaching training exercises, they all performed Western-style military salutes, while on other occasions, especially informal occasions, the students knelt down to Chinese officials and teachers, and taught them Western-style military salute to Germany.
Of course, no matter what the occasion, German teachers generally salute Chinese officials in the Western style. Qing officials explained that Germans could not bend their knees. This explanation can be regarded as giving some face to the officials of the Qing Dynasty.
According to this rule, it is not training now. Zhou Charter is also a general-level management belt of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhou Charter should kneel to this management leader.
Zhou Charter was already very disapproving about kneeling and worshiping. Seeing that the little soldier was arrogant, he was even more angry. Therefore, Zhou Charter simply came up with a false edict, claiming that he could not kneel down in the school. Anyway, this is the local policy of Tianjin Wubei School, and it is expected that the Beiyang Mariners don't understand it.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Bing shouted, "Let me ask you, is Tianjin Wubei School the world of our Qing Dynasty!"
"Of course."
"Since it is the world of the Qing Dynasty, we should abide by the rules of the Qing Dynasty! If you don't follow the rules, you will behead!"
The head was beheaded again. Zhou Charter smiled bitterly. The officials of the Qing Dynasty liked to behead their heads, and even a small soldier would often behead them. The common people had several heads to behead them.
"The Qing Dynasty also has rules for not kowtowing!" Zhou Charter said proudly.
"What's the rule?" The soldier's height has just reached Zhou Charter's shoulder, but he has the momentum to compete with Zhou Charter.
"It's inconvenient to salute with armor!" Zhou Charter remembered the words on the stage.
"Ajia? Your foreign devil's thing is also called armor? Don't humiliate your ancestors!" The soldier looked sarcastically: "The military uniform of our Beiyang Marine Division is majestic and neat up and down, which is called armor!"
In fact, among the Qing army, the uniforms are not only the Beiyang Marine Division, but also the cadets of Tianjin Military Academy do not wear traditional uniforms, but imitate the military uniforms of the German Army. However, the imperial court did not recognize the uniform of Tianjin Wubei School, which was only limited to the interior of the school. After graduation, the students had to take off the foreign devil's things and put on traditional uniforms to serve in various battalions.
Only Beiyang sailors can openly enter the room in their unique military uniforms.
"Military uniform is armor!" Zhou Charter is not convinced: "This armor is convenient to wear, and the marching is very light, and it is not in the way at all. The armor of your Beiyang Marine Division looks bright. In fact, you change the soup without changing the medicine, that is, change the color material, or the wide robe and big sleeves. When you go to the sea, you want to go for a ride..."
The soldier sneered: "Since your armor is not in the way at all, you should kowtow to the adults more neatly and say that armor is inconvenient to salute. I think you are clearly plotting, and the following is a crime!"
The little soldier was also eloquent, attacking the son's shield with his son's spear, and Zhou Charter suddenly opened his mouth.
