Chapter 1854: Plenty of money
A secret work is being carried out in an orderly manner.
Ye Chunqiu began to recruit King Lu Guards, with a quota of 1,000 people, and was selected from the new army. In name, he was naturally responsible for the security of the King Lu Palace and protect King Lu and his relatives.
In the past, Ye Chunqiu did not like the grand show, so the Lu Palace was always guarded by the Xinjun and the Police Bureau. Now it is specially recruiting Lu Guards, which has not caused any doubts.
In everyone's opinion, the existing defense is enough to deal with any situation. Therefore, this Lu Wangwei is mostly like a personal army, and is of the nature of a guard of honor. To put it bluntly, it is just a show of pomp.
It is actually understandable that His Highness, the King of Lu, who was given nine tins, has made this show.
The person in charge of this matter is Ye Maocai. Ye Maocai is a distant relative of the Ye family. In summary, he is Ye Chunqiu's cousin. He became a new army in his early years and became a small team officer from the new army. Later, the squadron officer broke several fingers due to an accident in a training exercise. He was finally transferred to the logistics department. Now he is re-activated to be responsible for the matters of King Guard of Lu.
Ye Chunqiu also appointed this person not because of their kinship, but because according to Ye Maocai's resume, he was a very cautious person. It was precisely because of his prudence that he was responsible for the first squadron of the Fourth Battalion in the new army. The most interesting thing about this brigade is that it is mainly composed of the new army of Japan.
The Japanese are brave and fierce, and they usually practice things very well, but there is one thing that is headache-inducing, which is that they are prone to impulsiveness when they are killed. Therefore, most of the military officers who are assigned to the fourth brigade are cautious and conservative in order to neutralize the impulsive personality of the Japanese people.
Ye Maocai originally thought that this was just a very ordinary appointment, and he should be equivalent to the commander of the Jinwu Guard in the Forbidden City, so when he accepted the appointment, he stepped into the palace and then arrived at the study of His Highness King Lu. As soon as he sat down, he saw Ye Chunqiu and Deng Jian coming together.
Ye Maocai recognized this famous supervisor. Seeing Deng Jian and Ye Chunqiu coming together, Ye Maocai couldn't help but be surprised, wondering what this matter has to do with this supervisor today.
Ye Maocai first saluted like Ye Chunqiu. Ye Chunqiu nodded, sat down and said, "Maocai, how many years are you older than me."
Ye Maocai hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not."
He speaks little, and doesn't have much nonsense.
Ye Chunqiu liked this, so he directly said the words he prepared in his heart: "From then on, I will give it to you. You are my relative, and I am not evading relatives. From today on, three months, you will take the selected Lu Wangwei lieutenant to practice at the mouth of the river a hundred miles away. Remember, it is not that you come to practice the lieutenant, but that you and the lieutenant were trained by the instructors invited by the king. They will be careless about whatever they say. There, no one is allowed to send letters or leave the camp. If someone violates it, he will be killed."
Ye Maocai only heard this and felt keenly unusual. If he only trained the guards, it would obviously not be so troublesome.
It took three months to close the exercise, not only that, but it was still in the mouth of the river. He had heard a little about it. More than 100 miles north of Qinglong, it was designated as the shooting range of the new army. It was a place where the artillery and the new army exercises were tested. In that area, ordinary people were not allowed to enter and exit, and he also had to undergo exercises. This shows that this exercise is definitely different from the new army. So what should I practice?
Although he was full of doubts, it was reasonable for Ye Chunqiu to select the new army as the backbone of King Wei of Lu. He needed a group of people who did not need to talk too much, talk little, and obeyed.
Ye Maocai was such a person, and there was no curiosity on his face, so he nodded and said, "Abide by the order."
Ye Chunqiu leaned on the sofa with satisfaction and said slowly: "Let's start tomorrow, I hope you don't let me down."
However, Deng Jian just sat quietly aside, without saying the first half, as if he was only responsible for the audience.
Ye Maocai didn't pay much attention to Deng Jian, but listening to Ye Chunqiu's tone, Ye Maocai felt that the relationship became more important.
So the next morning, Ye Maocai and his men boarded the steam train heading north and set off.
A total of a thousand people were shaking in the carriage, unloading all their weapons, and even handing over their military uniforms. When they arrived at the camp and saw the so-called instructor that Ye Chunqiu mentioned, these people were stunned.
By their standards, these instructors are more suitable for classification as crooked and jujubes.
No matter how you look at it, they are all very ordinary people, and there is even an instructor who is blind and smiles. He actually reveals a mouthful of yellow teeth, which makes people feel bored when they look at it.
You should know that in addition to training, the students of the new army have many rules on weekdays. Even for personal hygiene, they are meticulous. They have clear rules for laying the bed and quilts, eating and washing.
After all, a large number of people gather together, and hygiene is the top priority. Once a disease or plague is caused by hygiene problems, it will be enough to paralyze half of the camp.
Now they found that what they were facing, or what they would practice in the future, was completely beyond their expectations.
What they learned was actually climbing the walls and entering the house, and there was also accent from all over the world. The instructors did not need their murderous aura, but they needed them to be indifferent to the public and must not show any sharpness. In addition, the only weapon they could use was riding a rifle, and it was a newly developed small rifle that was more exquisite than riding a rifle. It had a short range and could be fired six times in a row, and it was not very powerful.
In fact, Ye Maocai and the others felt that these instructors of different types had extraordinary identities and had the background of Jinyiwei.
That day, after Ye Chunqiu reached an agreement with Deng Jian, Ye Chunqiu wrote a book to Gu Dayong. Gu Dayong did not dare to neglect, and immediately selected the most capable person in the Jinyiwei according to the conditions.
Although these people are not good-looking, they were mostly responsible for spies and had decades of experience. What they have to do this time is to give these thousand new troops all their experiences.
Although this is easy, it is difficult to do it.
Because many of the things they teach fall into the category of metaphysics.
