"Very good! As long as you have enough military merits! As long as you remain loyal to me, you will be the Empire's first-class citizens!”
"Not to mention those Eight Banners who have nothing to do, even if they see the Prince, they have to be respectful to you!”
Wang Guangxu was very satisfied with everyone's behavior and continued to cheer them on.
This was the first batch of new soldiers he had handled. He had to give them the pride of being soldiers! As long as they won the upcoming war between China and France…
Then, some of his big moves could be carried out!
With the power of victory, the Eight Banners and the Manchurian world were completely shattered. The root of corruption was completely eradicated, and they embarked on the path of expansion.
He had only borrowed Emperor Guangxu's body and did not have any good feelings towards this Manchu group that had delayed China's development for hundreds of years. At most, he would give them some opportunities to compete fairly with ordinary people. All the nobles had to be uprooted.
"Long live our emperor! Long live!"
Whether it was soldiers or officers, even Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang knelt down and shouted. Whether Wang Guangxu could do it or not, his words had already set a precedent for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. It was enough for them to fight for this hope.
Their blood was already boiling, and they could not wait to go to the battlefield to kill the enemies, expand their territory, and reclaim the land they had lost.
"Jiang Baili!"
"Your subject is here!"
"Send 10,000 new soldiers to receive new equipment and change to the Forbidden City!”
"Understood!"
Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang looked at each other and nodded. Some of what happened today would definitely be leaked. Then the safety of the capital was very important. Although the Nine Gates were all under Prince Chun, there were still many Eight Banners and private soldiers in the inner city, so they had to be on guard.
"Little Shunzi! Take my decree and go find Prince Chun! Let him cooperate with my actions!"
"Li Hongzhang, let the martial arts competition begin!"
Wang Guangxu sat back down.
The two of them naturally accepted the order.
"Choose a hundred soldiers from each town! Fire! Martial arts! Cross-country! Three competitions!“
Li Hongzhang walked to the front of the stage and began to make arrangements.
…………
The first round of shooting competition soon came out. The target 200 steps away was divided into ten rings. Each person would shoot three times, and the full score would be three thousand points.
"Jiang Baili's troops: 2,860 points! No miss!"
"Liu Mingchuan: 2721 points! No miss!"
"Yuan Shikai's troops: 2,718 points! No miss!"
Everyone was very satisfied with the results. They didn't feel so bad about the astronomical ammunition consumption in the past three months.
The following battles were the most intense. Twenty of the strongest warriors were selected from each of the 100 people. It took a full 15 minutes to determine the winner. However, there were only two people left standing in the end. They were still Jiang Baili's subordinates.
The remaining 240 people participated in the weight-bearing cross-country. Each person carried a 25-kilogram weight for a 10-kilometer cross-country.
This time, the gap was very obvious. At this time, the West did not pay attention to the training in this area. When Liu Mingchuan and Yuan Shikai's soldiers completed six or seven kilometers, all the soldiers under Jiang Baili had already crossed the finish line.
"Minister Li! Minister Zuo! What do you think?"
Wang Guangxu said to the two of them as he suppressed the pride in his heart.
"We lost! It's all up to Your Majesty!"
The two of them hurriedly bowed and returned. Reality had proven everything. It had only been three months. As time passed, the gap would only grow wider.
"Good! From today onwards! Jiang Baili transferred the navy and army officers to establish the Imperial Military Academy. All the main officers would go for training first, and they would be changed to their secondary positions after three months!”
"As for Jiang Baili's position, let Nie Shicheng take it!”
Wang Guangxu thought for a moment and said.
…………
A year passed very quickly. All aspects were carried out in full swing, and the military academy's arsenal entered the official stage.
The new army also added 10,000 men, and the town became a division, with brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons. Such a change was very easy to accept, and there were no objections.
And whether it was domestic or foreign undercurrents, they were quietly brewing…
