When the spring breeze blows and peach blossoms are just blooming, due to many reasons such as the troubles of the students and personnel disputes assigned by the officers, the Sichuan Army Quicken School finally started school after many twists and turns. It was still sulking to the governor Zhao Erxun, who was still sulking in the internal struggle of his subordinates.
On the newly repaired reviewing stand, Zhong Ying, the general manager of the school, stood tall. Behind him, the lines are:
Supervisors Xu Xiaogang and Zhou Daogang, Japanese Infantry Section Chief Harunzo Sakai, Cavalry Section Chief Yu Shirai, Artillery Section Chief Kanichi Kuroya, Masahira, Masahiro, the logistics Section Chief Jinxian, Kamiya, Jijiya, Yashima, the gun sword Section Chief Fujiro, Murayamata, the engineering Section Chief, and the other eight chief instructors of each department of the Sichuan Army and the military commander Xiao Yiming were arranged on both sides.
Under the high platform, more than 340 students formed four columns according to the four subjects of steps, artillery, craftsmanship, and zi, and formed the formations of the four subjects, and were crooked and unsightly. Not only did the Japanese instructors on the stage shake their heads, but Xiao Yiming, who was standing next to them, also blushed, so that Zhong Ying and Xu Xiaogang, had no intention of listening to anything.
At the end of the school opening ceremony, all the scientists, led by the instructor, returned to their barracks to collect textbooks, familiarize themselves with the course arrangements, and recited the new school regulations.
Zhong Ying, Xu Xiaogang, and Zhou Daogang and several deputy chief officers warmly invited Japanese instructors to the banquet to celebrate the grand opening of the school.
Xiao Yiming quietly asked Zhong Ying to turn the luncheon away, walked alone to the barracks of the Second Infantry Team, and greeted the two instructors and captains for a while. Wang Qian and ten others met.
Under the envious gaze of more than 200 students, Xiao Yiming asked Wang Qian and others one by one: Do you need to get used to it after half a month? What else do you need to do?
The two instructors stood beside Xiao Yiming with smiles on their faces. When Wang Qian and others left, they whispered to the celebrity around the Governor and the General Officer:
"Don't worry, Section Chief Xiao, we will take care of these little brothers."
Xiao Yiming thanked him very humbly and quietly invited the two instructors to go out for a drink when they were free. The two instructors happily agreed and smiled flatteringly to see Xiao Yiming away.
The next afternoon, Xiao Yiming began his first instructor career in his life. The content of the lecture was translated by Xiao Yiming, revised by British friend Zhuang Sen, and written by Governor Zhao Erxun. The basic textbook "Modern Military Systems of European Countries" was taught by more than 180 students from the Infantry Department.
At half past two, Xiao Yiming, who was well-equipped in military uniforms, entered the classroom on time.
The team officer shouted and stood up, and the students raised their hands to salute. Seeing the gentle instructor on the stage so young, many people couldn't help but exclaim.
"Please sit down!"
Xiao Yiming calmly ordered, picked up the roster and opened it. The names "Yang Sen" and "Liu Xiang" that appeared among the top ten students were shocked. Xiao Yiming stared at the roster and his head buzzed. If it weren't for the surprise discussion of the students in the audience who attracted the team officials to scold him, Xiao Yiming would probably not be able to raise his head for a while.
Xiao Yiming quickly calmed down, glanced around the students below, turned around and picked up the chalk, and wrote three words on the blackboard. The hard pen font after practicing hard was indeed beautiful, with both spirit and shape, and a proud temperament. The students immediately put away their contempt when they saw it.
Putting down the chalk, Xiao Yiming raised his head and said loudly: "My name is Xiao Yiming. From now on, everyone can call me Instructor Xiao if you give face."
There was a laugh from the audience, and many people suddenly felt that Xiao Yiming was not arrogant and friendly. After careful look, he found that the instructor's eyes were deep and his nose was tall and very attractive. In addition, he was nearly 1.8 meters tall, and he seemed much more mature and experienced. Many people felt that they had an illusion just now, which denied the youthful impression left at first sight.
Xiao Yiming and others calmed down their laughter and began to give lectures in his deep voice. He briefly started with Napoleon and finally went to Bismarck, who had made great contributions to the reunification of Germany, and described in detail the three major battles that changed the entire European and even the world pattern, and then discussed the development stages of artillery, infantry and cavalry in the army of European troops.
Xiao Yiming's clear language, easy-to-understand narration, and a hilarious style were fully revealed. More than 180 students were fascinated by the listeners. Even the instructors of the accompanying team listened with relish. It was not until the seventy-minute explanation that everyone realized that enthusiastic applause burst into the spacious classroom.
Careful students and instructors found that from beginning to end, Xiao Yiming had never flipped the lecture notes. The European map drawn on the blackboard was simple and clear, and each column of fonts was so rigorous, serious, elegant and beautiful that after Xiao Yiming left, the students were reluctant to wipe the blackboard. Then they heard an instructor sigh and said, "This textbook was written by Section Chief Xiao." Almost all the students opened the textbook and immediately felt admiration. No one paid attention to Xiao Yiming's age anymore. Wang Qian and the ten brothers were even more proud.
Although Xiao Yiming's class was very popular and highly praised by the instructors, he did not have the awareness of "taking the school as his home" and did not bother to compete with Zhou Daogang and others for the relationship between students.
After being shocked, Xiao Yiming knew that the more than 300 students, including Yang Sen and Liu Xiang, were mixed and uneven. There were not many gold left after the waves washed away the sand. Moreover, they were still in the early stage of establishing a worldview. Instead of competing for their feelings and pleasing them without principles, it would be better to teach them more useful things and infect them with real knowledge, style and morality. As for what they will do in the future, that will be the future.
After careful consideration, Xiao Yiming will leave the school after completing the task of the Wednesday class. Due to the care of Zhong Ying, Xiao Yiming's three classes are concentrated on Mondays and Tuesdays. He only needs to attend two days a week to complete military supply affairs, and complete three classes. Other times are completely free to arrange.
At the end of March, the first batch of 1,000 C96 wrench guns from the Mauser Factory in Germany and 100,000 9mm Balabellum bullets were quietly shipped.
Zhong Ying, who was notified, led a team of guards to Xiao Yiming's house, excitedly threw down 20,000 oceans, and ordered to carry away 60,000 bullets, 200 guns, and 200 pairs of leather equipment for German-made Mauser pistols. He threw Xiao Yiming a jasper ring that Kangxi gave him to his ancestors back then, and turned around and left.
The next day, the guards of the 33rd Association of the New Army and an elite pistol company officer and soldier, rode tall horses, and walked in groups of three to three on the main streets of the city. They were wearing German leather gears and carrying new and branded mull guns around their waists. Many people also tied dazzling red silk and blue silk streamers on the handles of the wooden holsters. Every time they went, they would arouse enthusiastic discussion and onlookers along the way.
That night, Xiao Yiming, who heard Ma Gang talk about this, laughed and joked that he had never noticed General Zhong Ying was so sexy before, which made the brothers laugh.
The laughter was not stopping, and the two little guys guarding the door came to report: General Zhong is here again and brings two carriages.
Xiao Yiming hurried out to greet him. Before Zhong Ying could sit down, she asked, "How many are left?"
"There are still five hundred guns and equipment left, and 20,000 bullets. What's wrong? Brother? Do you still want it?" Xiao Yiming asked.
Zhong Ying took the teacup, drank it in one sip, and placed the teacup on the tea table: "The two border troops stayed at my brother's house and refused to leave, so they insisted that my brother get three or four hundred pieces for them immediately. My brother scared them as you said, but my grandsons didn't know that they were soft and hard, and said that the court allowed officers to buy pistols by themselves, so as long as each battalion had money, no one could care about them. I had no choice but to report the price to 70 yuan per piece. Unexpectedly, the two grandsons turned around and left, and in less than ten minutes, they carried the money to my yard. My brother had to carry the money to you, and told them that they were going to find the British, and they turned around and turned around at the intersection of Longxing Street.
"Hurry up and give me goods. I'll ask for all five hundred guns, and there are bullets. I'll have someone carry them in immediately. You can count them yourself. Just give my brother ten dollars in legs and legs. If you have money, you can make money. If you don't make money, you won't make money. Tomorrow you will get two batches of goods. The more bullets, the better. Brother will sell you all the border troops!"
Ten heavy sacks were placed in the middle of the hall. Zhong Ying led a group of guards to take the horse away. Luo Laosi called Sister Yi and a few women to help. He counted it for an hour before counting it. Finally, he handed it over to Sister Yi and put it away for the time being.
Luo Laosi wiped off his sweat and ran to the study:
"Brother, I have a lot of money for 35,000 yuan, all of them are Long Yang."
Xiao Yiming put down his brush, raised his head and sighed: "Grandma, selling hundreds of guns can help the profit of the car dealer for half a year. No wonder so many people risked the beheading and worked hard."
Luo Laosi said puzzledly: "I guess we are the only one doing the entire Chengdu ground. Is there anyone in Chongqing doing it? It shouldn't be... Uncle Wu from Nantang took away 350 Colts from us, weren't they all sold to Brother Hongmen on the water surface of Chongqing?"
"I didn't say that there are people in Sichuan now, they are talking about coastal provinces."
Xiao Yiming fooled him, stood up and walked slowly, thinking carefully: "I am worried that General Zhong's carelessness will one day let him go. If this continues, we will soon become thorns in others' eyes, which is extremely unfavorable to our reputation and safety."
Luo Laosi deeply agrees:
"I'm worried too! If we hadn't avoided the spring rainy season, all our projects would be completed. Brother, why don't we buy the Chenji Grain Warehouse at the entrance of Qinglong Lane? Next to it is the British Christian Church, and the West English School specially opened for the children of the church, which is located on the south side of the avenue we are preparing to widen."
Xiao Yiming pleaded with his hands:
"The fourth brother, you have a good idea. I will go to Zhuang Sen tomorrow morning and establish a business with him, which specializes in sewing machines, hardware accessories and mechanical accessories produced in European countries. He is responsible for supplying the goods to us and selling them. Then, I invite a down-and-out foreigner from Shanghai to come back and take charge, hang the foreigner's sheep heads, and quietly sell our dog meat and arms business."
"Brother is smart! I will go to Chen Dadang, who is opening the oil mill tomorrow. It is estimated that 500 yuan can be won." Luo Laosi said with a smile.
Xiao Yiming nodded: "Don't put too much pressure on the price. It doesn't matter if it's expensive. You can't get a reputation for being unkind and righteous because of 180 yuan. For example, you can buy it with your name, and then hire a good construction team to choose a style from the existing drawings given to us by foreigners. Rebuild a three-story Western-style building. The more grand the better. The first floor is the storefront, and the second floor and the third floor will be your home in the future, so that you won't run around every day.
"That warehouse has at least two acres of land. Although there are only a few rows of dilapidated warehouses built decades ago, the land is valuable. Now no one knows our background. However, as long as our project starts fully, the real estate in that area will soar. At that time, we will not be able to compete with the wealthy businessmen and officials in the city."
"I'm so worried, brother, if you buy that piece of land, you'll use your name, or just use Sister Yi's?" Luo Laosi whispered.
Xiao Yiming looked at Luo Laosi with his eyes squinted: "Pretend to pretend to be stupid, and then pretend, I'm watching."
Luo Laosi's face suddenly turned red, and soon he suddenly shed tears and couldn't even wipe them clean.
"What's wrong? It's really a waste of time!" Xiao Yiming cursed with a smile.
Luo Laosi choked and said, "Brother, I will follow you in this life and I will never go anywhere!"
Xiao Yiming laughed: "Aren't we brothers all together? No one left each other. Also, we will build it immediately after buying it, and we will build two symmetrical buildings. You and the third brother live in one building. It doesn't matter if you spend more money. The first floor is made of high-quality stones from Longquanyi. By the way, the sewer and main road projects of the overall project will be carried out together. If the sewer and sewer are repaired, the others will be easier."
"Remember, I'll make plans right away."
