C673 Unconvinced guards

"Ai Xinjueluozaichun, as the emperor of the Great Qing Empire, for you to be willing to give up the Forbidden City with good conditions and walk out of the country to suffer, this shows that you are a king who has the courage to develop. Giving this spear to your master, is equivalent to not letting you forget your desire to advance, and will forever remember the dream of a powerful nation in your heart!"

"I will never forget Master's teachings for the rest of my life!" Zai Chun replied in a muffled voice, and then took a step back and returned to the group.

The student army naturally had their own special treatment. Every student here could get a light Colt handgun, and all of them were given to them by Xiao Letian himself.

"Liu Anchen steps forward... Give me your spear! "

"Qiu Wei, appear..." Give me your spear! "

"Jiang Yuheng steps forward... Give me your spear! "

"Yan Xing has appeared... Give me your spear! "

"Xiang Ying... Jin Sanshun... Cai Bixia... Lin Zhen... "

Only then did they realize that the Prime Minister did not lie to them. As expected, it was not a sin worthy of a wife and children, Jin Changsen and Lin Yuanmiao's sins did not affect their children, Jin Sanshun and Lin Zhen's rights to study in the were not taken away.

The two second generations of Ryukyu officials were now crying hot tears. After receiving the spear from the Prime Minister, they even kneeled down on one knee to express their family's regret.

Xiao Letian pulled both of them, "One yard for one yard, the family is one yard, the family is your family, you're the family, go ahead, wait until Prussia, then finish your studies properly. I will wait for you to bring the Iron-armored battleship back, I will wait … …"

"Wuwuwu …" Prime Minister! We must not fail... Your navy is our life! "

Squadron after squadron of student soldier finished their review in front of Xiao Letian. When the final round of ceremony ended, the entire audience burst into applause, the soldiers that formed the army hugged together and cheered. Zai Chun was thrown into the air by the waves of people but was caught.

San Bao and the rest were so scared that their hearts clenched. If this were broken by the emperor, wouldn't they all be beheading themselves to die with him? However, when they saw how happy the emperor was, no one dared to speak.

After becoming an army, there would be a grand banquet. Today, the soldiers could drink alcohol. Everyone had lost their previous rules, and they drank until their faces and necks were red.

The spectators had all left. The military field was filled with long wooden tables, large basins of pork, beef, lamb chops that had been roasted golden, and small stir-fried dishes that were unique to Ryukyu.

The rice wine, flower carvings, and Japanese sake sent from Jiangnan were not to be emptied like the sea water. At this moment, the iron mask instructors were holding their students' hands and boasting, some of them even cried after drinking too much.

All of the grievances and conflict from training had disappeared at this moment, all remaining was the thick friendship from war, with the exception of Japanese. Taro Shimadzu walked in front of Zai Chun with a red face and kneeled on the ground.

"You were a student before, so I have to be strict. But after the training, I will be your majesty and you will be your ordinary warrior from another country, so I want to pay my respects to you. Please forgive me for my arrogant actions!"

Zai Chun grabbed his hand and dragged him up from the ground, "I didn't say it, what crime are you committing now? "If you really want me to punish you, then I'll punish you to drink these three bowls of wine …"

Taro Shimadzu was merely a Shimadzu Family Vassal Warrior, his position in Japan was not considered high, but now he could actually obtain the wine bestowed by the Emperor of Da Qing. This glory caused his entire body to tremble.

After drinking three bowls of wine, Taro Shimadzu was already drunk. Ever since he met the Prime Minister, his life had undergone a tremendous change. Just from these three bowls of wine, when he returned to Japan, he would be able to become a distinguished guest of the Public official. Even the Heavenly Emperor would remember his name. Should he change it to a wine gift? I think so.

At the banquet, there was a group of lonely people. At the corner of the plaza, the three hundred imperial guards took up three long tables. Although the food and wine were the same as the new army, the atmosphere was completely different.

The strange equipment worn by the new army blinded them. From head to toe, they exposed their high morale. Although they were only three feet apart from the crowd, the atmosphere was completely different from heaven and earth.

Tongzhi finally walked over. Although he was young, he had drunk a few mouthfuls of wine today and wanted to drink strong alcohol.

Zai Chun, whose face was flushing red, walked to the front of the three hundred guards. Behind him were the four guards and the four eunuchs, whose faces were flushed red.

"I've been waiting for you all for a long time. Why have you come so late?" Zai Chun asked.

Three hundred people stood up together, then kneeled down after opening their sleeves. "Your servant pays his respects to the Emperor!" The emperor is blessed! " It was a very orderly greeting to their movements and voices that caused the entire army camp to instantly quieten down. The new army of Ryukyu looked at them as if they were looking at a monster.

The Ryukyu's constitution, drafted by the Prime Minister, had long since abolished the kneeling ceremony. In that constitution, it confirmed the authority of the King Shang Tai over the Ryukyu Kingdom, but the new army was recognized by the Constitution as bestowing it upon the Prime Minister Xiao. The kneeling ceremony had also been abolished in this law, so the citizens now only needed to bow before the King and the other high officials.

In such a short period of time, everyone had already forgotten what it was like to kneel before someone. Seeing Baji kneel before them today, everyone present felt extremely uncomfortable.

Zai Chun sighed and shook his head, "Rise and rise, please … From today onwards, don't kneel and bow to me anymore, it's not like there's no need to be so courteous in the Great Qing Dynasty, learn from the New Army and their army! "

From tomorrow on, you will disrupt the formation process and train with the next batch of recruits. You will be the first group of Son of Heaven's personal army that I, the Tongzhi Emperor, will personally build!

With a loud boom, the three hundred Baji s all broke out into a flurry of discussions. Although they had already guessed this beforehand, when they heard His Majesty personally admitting it, they still did not dare to believe it.

The three of them were the bold ones, "Your Majesty …" Are you going to abolish the archery tactics of the Great Qing? We all have the nickname of Little Batulu in the Beijing, do we still need to train with the new army? "

"How dare you question the orders of His Majesty?" The four guards stared, their hands gripping the handle of their spears.

Zai Chun waved for the four guards to retreat. "Hehe, I know you all are unconvinced, but facts speak louder than words, wasn't the battle between Daqing and the Western Army a great defeat that time? Have you all forgotten the lesson that the Prime Minister's new army has taught you? "

"Hehe, I know you guys are a bit unconvinced. Very well, I won't use the imperial power to suppress you. Now everyone stand at attention and stand together with me in the sun. I want to see just who can last past me!"

The little Emperor called me one at a time, and the eyes of the three hundred guards twitched. The little Emperor was really taught badly by Xiao Letian, how can he say that I'm alright?

Xiao Letian shared a table with Sima Yun and the others on the stage. Nuo Beier and the other important guests also drank two cups more as they watched the exciting performance below.

"Not bad, not bad, everything is difficult at the beginning. To be able to put himself on the line means that this is a very practical child, and that he hasn't been completely brainwashed by those corrupt scholars …"

Nuo Beier asked in puzzlement: "That is the emperor of the Great Qing Empire, what exactly do you want to teach a cold-blooded emperor?"

"There's nothing we can do. Great Qing needs Iron-Blood. China's national destiny needs Iron-Blood. Without Iron-Blood, we can't suppress the stubborn forces and China's industrialization can't be initiated!"

At this time, at the edge of the field, three hundred guards were standing in two rows. The little emperor and the four guards were looking at them face to face: "Everyone look at me, your heels are close to your toes, your fingers are like blades on the outside of your thighs. When I can't hold on anymore, then you can disband! "

The little emperor and the four guards were like five pine trees nailed to the field.

Wasn't it just standing by the rules? Baji had never practiced standing rules before, if they were to attack and become guards in the future, standing rules were their basic skills. Besides, the body of the little Emperor was famously weak. If she couldn't even be compared to the little Emperor, then she would really be shamed to the point of losing face in front of his maternal grandma.

The field was completely silent. At first, the new recruits were still in the mood to watch the show, but after a while, all of their patience disappeared, and they continued to eat and drink to their heart's content.

Time passed minute by minute. At 12: 30, they stood in a military posture until 14: 00, 15: 00, 16: 00 … Gradually, the drunkards on the field went back to sleep. The soldiers on leave went back to enjoy their vacation, and even Xiao Letian went back to take care of his official business.

The food and wine had already been taken away, and the military camp had gradually regained its tranquility. After 16 o'clock, there were some people who could not hold on any longer. A guard with sore legs staggered and took a step forward.

The four eunuchs had their eyes on them for a long time, and they rushed over to pull him out of the group. "You're the first one to be done for. Just a moment ago you were still bragging, but now you're frightened?" "If you want to challenge His Majesty, you should wait for his punishment …" The loser was pushed into a corner and sat on the ground in frustration.

The head chefs in the barracks were quite kind as well. They had made a huge pot of green bean soup with sugar in it. The master knocked on the pot and said, "Compete?" Are they all idiots? Your Majesty's military training is something even the Prime Minister would praise, yet you actually dare to challenge his majesty? Heh heh … "Let's go home. I will brag for the rest of my life. Your Majesty has eaten my cooking skills for half a year. I will brag about this glory for the rest of my life …"

As soon as the chef left, another person couldn't hold on any longer. The team began to fall into chaos as more and more losers were pulled out one by one. The team was getting smaller and smaller.

Three Treasures, Duo Luo, and Ma Qun were still persisting on. They never thought that the rules of standing could be so terrifying. Their legs were trembling and their knees were bent. Even their vision was starting to blur.

Zai Chun did not move at all. Even Ma Ming, one of the four bodyguards, had his head stung by a bee, not moving an inch as that huge red and swollen lump was on top of his head.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to wet my pants …" Ma Qun held his breath and ran towards the toilet in the distance. This warning caused the fifty to sixty guards to swarm over, nearly peeing their pants.

More and more losers appeared, and as the sun began to set, the only ones left standing were Three Treasures, Duo Luo, and the other six guards.

Zai Chun remained unmoving. San Bao and Duo Luo knew they could not continue any further, they were already intimidated by his majesty. The two of them bent their knees and kneeled on the ground.

"Your servant has lost. Your majesty, please rest and take care of my dragon body!" "Your servant really can't hold on any longer …"
