Wu Dasai found that his young master Sun Wu Chaoyue had completely changed, and he became no longer like the young master Sun before.

How great was Mr. Sun in the past? He took Wu Dasai to the restaurant to visit the kiln every day, and ate the delicious food and drink spicy food, rinsed his mouth with shark fins, washed his feet with rose water, and sprinkled his master's money with handfuls of money, which also made Wu Dasai, a dog-legged dog, enjoy a lot of blessings. It also once made Wu Dasai proudly declare in front of everyone, "Don't think I'm a servant, but I'm the life of the young master! Many rich and young masters enjoy less blessings than me!"

But after Master Sun met a foreigner at Wusongjiang Wharf, Wu Dasai discovered that his young master Sun had gradually changed. First of all, he would not be crazy about the flower boats in the kilns. Although he was quite particular about food and drink, he would not rinse his mouth with shark fins. Although he was more money from the master, he knew how to calculate carefully. Wu Dasai advised Master Sun several times not to go to evil ways, not to be led by foreigners, and to enjoy more happiness and contact with the girls in the brothel flower boats, and to gather with the rich young masters in the city, and the young masters of Sun would no longer listen.

After accompanying Mr. Sun from the capital to hold a group training, Wu Dasai discovered that his Mr. Sun had changed more and was even worse by foreigners. He could not live in a house with beautiful maids, but he had to live in a military camp where there was nothing to do. Every morning, when it was just at the beginning of the Mao Shi, he would get up like the drums of the Practice Sword Qiu Ba, wash his face and change his clothes quickly, and condescend to eat with the Practice Swordsman in the same pot. Then at the second hour of the Mao Shi, Mr. Sun would gather with the foreign instructors to gather in the team, shout slogans and do foreign exercises with the Practice, and then he had to practice running with these Practice. One run would take ten miles, not missing at all!

What Wu Dasai hates most is that when running, although Master Sun only holds a stick or a whip in his hand, Wu Dasai must be like those who practice bravery. Everyone runs with a thirty pound package on his back and runs a little slower and drops the team. Master Sun and foreign instructor Brown's whip sticks will hit Wu Dasai without hesitation, and beat Wu Dasai several times, making him cry and cry.

The matter was not finished yet. After finally finishing the run, he had just put down his package and was not breathing. Young Master Sun, under the instigation of the blonde and blue-eyed foreign instructor, forced Wu Dasai and the brave men to practice standing posture, salute, and queue. If he didn't do well, he would be scolded and beaten. Finally, he had to practice push-ups, frog jumps, pull-ups and crawls in amid the ridicule of the people, and practiced various strange events that Wu Dasai had never heard of before. The blonde and blue-eyed foreign instructor continued to curse in stiff Chinese, "Quick! Fast! So slow, you can't live for three minutes on the battlefield!"

Finally, after being exhausted and exhausted, even unable to lift his arms, Young Master Sun and the annoying foreign instructor did not know how to be considerate, and they forced Wu Dasai and those practicing braves to carry the thirty-pound package again and continue running back to the camp to rest. What made Wu Dasai even more scattered was that Young Master Sun and the foreign instructor felt that it was not enough, and were still discussing when to add the package to forty kilograms, or even fifty kilograms!

If the master had not wanted Wu Dasai to be the captain of Young Master Sun, Wu Dasai would have been unable to stay in the military camp for a long time. Lian Yong, who could not bear this cruel torture like Wu Dasai, had quite a lot of them. In less than ten days, five or six deserters appeared. Although these deserters were caught and whipped fifty whips, confiscated the military uniforms and shoes and the military pay they had received before, were still two more Lian Yong who could not stand the torture, took the initiative to return the military pay for the clothes and shoes, and gritted his teeth and endured the fifty whips and got out of the military camp.

Wu Dasai is sure that if the food in the military camp was not bad, there were meat, vegetables, eggs, rice and steamed buns, and the more than 200 Lian Yong selected by Master Sun using various strange methods would have been gone long ago. Such food is a good thing for Lian Yong, a farmer's son, who was born in a farmer, and for Wu Dasai, who enjoyed the blessings with Master Sun, it is not much different from pigs and dogs.

Wu Dasai, who was forced to serve as the captain of his personal soldiers, was crying. He didn't know that his young master, Wu Chaoyue, was even more tearful. For nothing else, Wu Chaoyue was very worried. High-intensity training required support for high-protein and high-nutrition food. Wu Chaoyue and the foreign instructor Brown who came to the door understood this truth, but Wu Jianzhang and the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Shanghai did not understand. So after spending all the money for food for one month after only seven or eight days, Wu Chaoyue could only cry and ask for money and food for money and food for the comprador grandpa. In the end, he had to accompany the comprador grandpa to summon the wealthy businessmen and plead for grandpa to sue his grandpa.

If it weren't for the comprador grandfather who scolded people for using the money to make up for the food expenses, Wu Chaoyue would definitely not even be able to raise enough food expenses; if Luo Weilin and Maidu had not come up with an idea to ask Wu Chaoyue to purchase cheap and easy-to-get whale meat from foreign merchant ships to supplement the nutrition of soldiers, Wu Chaoyue would probably not be able to ensure enough meat supply for Jianyong. If it weren't for the Chinese to see what a modern army is, and even let the Chinese see that the Chinese can also train a modern army, Wu Chaoyue would have given up such training intensity and training methods long ago - Wu Chaoyue would have formed such an army to work hard for the Qing Dynasty when he was full.

Fortunately, Wu Chaoyue had a very reliable American instructor to help him. Former American major Brown, who had won medals in the US-Mexico War, wanted to sell more weapons to other Chinese troops in order to sell more weapons to other Chinese troops in order to make advertisements. Brown spent a lot of effort to help Wu Chaoyue train his army. Not only did he strictly implement various training plans, but he also gave Wu Chaoyue all his military experience on the battlefield to teach and do his best to become a political commissar, a father and a mother, chat with the brave men, contact each other, and encouraged them to practice their skills and make a fortune in the future.

In addition, other foreigners in the concession also helped Wu Chaoyue a lot. Some soldiers were injured during training. Luo Weilin not only came every time he called, but also offered to help Wu Chaoyue train medical soldiers and teach advanced medical rescue techniques. Maidusi and Father Meng Zhensheng also helped Wu Chaoyue invite their own soldiers whenever they had the opportunity, so that their soldiers could teach Wu Chaoyue's battlefield skills and perform practical training. Of course, they also practiced with Wu Chaoyue.

He bravely preached and preached. There are also grenades that Wu Chaoyue wanted to purchase. Aliguo and Billy also agreed to purchase Wu Chaoyue in Hong Kong, and promised to purchase the most advanced grenades at present. Of course, these foreigners who were sucking into money naturally had to ask Wu Chaoyue to order weapons from them, and could not wait to sell various advanced field artillery to Wu Chaoyue. Unfortunately, Wu Chaoyue's current military scale does not require artillery, so these businesses have not been completed.

When practicing live ammunition shooting, something surprised Wu Chaoyue happened. Luo Weilin was asked to strictly screen the blessing of Jian Yong's vision. In addition to playing the rear-mounted firing gun and linear tactics well, more than 200 Jian Yongs can also play the high-precision Minnie gun well. The total score of taking turns shooting made Brown and the Prussian instructor who helped temporarily praised it. At the same time, more than ten sharpshooters who could hit ten rings emerged. Wu Chaoyue was overjoyed and also selected twenty Jian Yongs with the best shooting results separately, forming a sniper team to train strictly, and waste Minnie bullets and Wu Jianzhang's money to let them practice gun skills.

Also, what made Wu Chaoyue laugh and cry was that his personal captain Wu Dasai, who could only complain all day long, was quite talented in snipers. He could guarantee his grades to be ranked in the top three in every live ammunition training. He was proud and also served as the sniper captain. Although Wu Chaoyue's talent was not as talented as Wu Dasai, he relied on the advantage of having a lot of ammunition to squander, he also practiced a gunshot technique that could barely be seen. This is not surprising. Archers are raised by arrows, and sharpshooters are also fed by bullets.

Good shooting results do not mean that Wu Chaoyue can rest assured. Considering the musket firing rate and actual combat needs of this era, Wu Chaoyue took Brown to conduct strict training on Lian Yong's bayonet fighting. During the high-intensity training, soldiers were injured many times, and two lives were caused. Wu Chaoyue paid out of his own pocket to pay for the family members of the two dead Lian Yong, which also caused Wu Chaoyue to be scolded by his comprador grandfather again - he could cause deaths during training, which was a rare thing in the Qing army.

An An stopped causing trouble. After nearly two months of hard training with Jianyong, the time was gradually becoming winter. Wu Chaoyue was also having a headache about Jianyong's winter cotton coat. Aliguo sent someone to contact Wu Chaoyue, saying that he wanted to discuss the matter of grenades with Wu Chaoyue. Wu Chaoyue did not doubt that he was, and hurriedly handed over the training to Brown for the time being and went to the concession to meet Aliguo alone. However, after meeting, Aliguo told Wu Chaoyue very regretfully, saying: "Wu, I am very sorry, because the grenades have been eliminated in our UK for too long, so there is no grenade spot in Hong Kong. If you must want to buy it, Billy and I can only ask people to find you in China, but I don't know if you can wait that long."

Wu Chaoyue, who hopes to use grenades to make up for the weakness of firepower, was disappointed. Considering that the journey is long and the grenades in this era are also filled with black gunpowder, and their power is not very great, Wu Chaoyue simply shook his head and said, "Mr. Aliguo, since there is no grenade spot in Hong Kong, then forget it. I'd better find another way to increase the firepower."

"Wu, I suggest you purchase artillery." Aliguo gave Wu Chaoyue an idea: "The rifled guns newly equipped by our British army have a long shooting distance, high accuracy and great power. The mortar guns currently equipped by our British army are also very powerful for battles. These two types of artillery are available in stock in Hong Kong. As long as you need them, I can buy them for you at any time."

Even the soldiers had to rely on the rations of wealthy merchants and gentry to give alms. Of course, weapons such as rifled cannons and mortar cannons are not something that Wu Chaoyue could afford. In addition, if you want to equip artillery, you must retrain the gunners. Wu Chaoyue once again declined Aliguo's kindness and said that the artillery could only be considered later. Then, although Aliguo did not force Wu Chaoyue to purchase artillery from him immediately, when Wu Chaoyue proposed to say goodbye, Aliguo insisted on keeping Wu Chaoyue. He was extremely intimate and opened red wine and handed cigars, and was warmly entertained. Wu Chaoyue, who knew that Aliguo's snobbish personality, guessed that there must be a reason, so he asked directly: "Mr. Aliguo, is there something wrong? If there is something, please tell me directly. What's the relationship between us? Is it necessary to be so polite?"

"Wu, you are indeed a happy person. I like your straightforwardness." Aliguo laughed and said directly: "Wu, if you can tell me who the person who discovered the Japanese gold mine was, there, and help me find him. Then Wu, I can give you the most advanced rifled cannon in the world!"

After hearing the legendary song, Wu Chaoyue knew the meaning of Aliguo said this, of course, immediately understood the reason and asked with a smile: "Mr. Aliguo, is it true that I told you that Japanese gold mine is confirmed?"

"Confirmed." Aliguo nodded and smiled and said, "Last night, Colonel Yasui sent me a special person to send me the latest news. You told us that the Kagoshima gold mine in Japan has confirmed the location of the ore. And I don't need to hide it from you. The ore quality is very high, higher than the two newly discovered gold mines in the United States and Australia."

"I'm relieved." Wu Chaoyue said with a smile: "I finally don't have to worry that you think I'm cheating on my friends."

"Wu, we have always been our best friends, there is no doubt about this!"

A Liguo laughed loudly, stretched out his hand, patted Wu Chaoyue's thin hand and said, "But Wu, if you can tell me who was the first person to discover this gold mine, and where is that person now? Then I can guarantee it or guarantee to Minister Wenhan that the British Empire will always be your most loyal friend! No matter what you do in China in the future, we can guarantee to fully support you!"

Wu Chaoyue could have said a few words to pass this over the perfunctory thing, but when he spoke, Wu Chaoyue's heart moved and couldn't help but think of the key reason for the decline of the British devils - the Boer War! Wu Chaoyue clearly remembered that the military expenditure spent by the British devils in the Boer War was higher than the total foreign reparations of the Qing Dynasty. He beat John Bull and spent several years of hard life with his belt around the country. He missed the best time for the First World Brick Conference to stir up trouble. He took action too late and could not control the situation. Then he fell into the quagmire of war and exhausted his strength, giving the American devils the opportunity to rise in full. The key cause of the Boer War was the amazingly large world number one gold mine in South Africa!

"Do you want to change world history?" Wu Chaoyue thought to himself and said, "If you tell the British devils that gold mine now, with the current strength of the British devils, it would be no big problem to eat South Africa's gold mine in one bite. The Empire of Sun-Don't Setting can continue. If it continues, you will definitely have to guard against the full rise of American devils. Which British devils and American devils are even more hateful?"

Thinking about this problem, Wu Chaoyue naturally remembered the embassy and the South China Sea collision, as well as the Japanese devils secretly supported by the Americans, the Taiwan issue, the Ryukyu issue and the stinky port issue. A burst of anger gradually churned in Wu Chaoyue's heart.

Seeing that Wu Chaoyue was silent for a long time, Aliguo also said that Wu Chaoyue wanted to sell for a good price, so he said again: "Wu, you offer a price, what do you want?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Wu Chaoyue said: "Mr. Aliguo, it's very regretful. As far as I know, the geological expert of the Japanese gold mine originally wanted to go to Hong Kong to seek the help of the Swedish minister, but unfortunately, he took the 'Holo' number..."

"Holo?" Aliguo interrupted Wu Chaoyue and said in surprise: "It is the Holo that unfortunately sank in the sea more than a year ago? No one on that ship survived."

Seeing Wu Chaoyue nodding, Aliguo shouted, which was a pity, and then came back to his senses and asked again: "Go to Hong Kong to find the Swedish minister? Is he a Swedish? What's his name?"

"He seems to be named Bill Gates or Bie Geva. I can't remember it clearly for too long." Wu Chaoyue replied vaguely, and said: "He originally wanted to seek help in Shanghai, but Mr. Aliguo, you also know that the Swedish consul at that time was American Kim Nengheng, so he did not disclose this important information. He could only return to Hong Kong to find his country's minister for help."

Ali Guo was skeptical, and some doubted that Wu Chaoyue was lying - because this fact was too coincidental. Wu Chaoyue knew that he would definitely not believe it immediately, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Ali Guo, you don't need to regret it. In order to thank me for my help, Mr. Gates once explained the causes of the gold mine he discovered when he was teaching me geology. He also mentioned that in several places on the earth, there may be gold mines with larger reserves than Kagoshima gold mines."

"Where? Tell me quickly!" Aliguo asked impatiently.

Wu Chaoyue smiled and said with a smile: "Mr. Aliguo, may I ask a question: If you and I join forces to invest in the exploration and find a new gold mine, what should we do to obtain shares in this newly discovered gold mine?"

A Liguo also smiled and whispered: "This is a very complicated legal issue, but I can guarantee that if you and I jointly explore and discover the new gold mine, I can guarantee that you will give you three percent of the shares. Don't think it's too small, because this gold mine was discovered abroad. I also want to convince us to send troops to take this gold mine in China. The shares you can get will not be more than yours. I promise to give you three percent, which can be said to be very sincere."

"Then Mr. Aliguo, let's first clarify the legal issues and sign a formal contract before talking about it?" Wu Chaoyue said with a smile.

Although the cost of sending people to explore gold mines is not small, Ali Guo can afford it completely. With the ironclad evidence of Kagoshima gold mine, Ali Guo naturally has no need to doubt that Wu Chaoyue is talking nonsense. In addition, Wu Chaoyue promised to contribute half of the capital, Ali Guo immediately agreed and agreed to invite a lawyer to sign a formal contract. After the agreement, Ali Guo naturally had to smile and say, "Wu, if nothing unexpected happens, within one or two days, the consulates of various countries in the concession will visit you, and then..."

"I don't know anything at that time."

Wu Chaoyue replied with a smile, shook hands with Aliguo and laughed. Wu Chaoyue muttered in his heart: "I know what calculations you are doing in your stomach. Without strength, even if you sign a legal contract, what can I do if you don't give me shares after discovering the gold mine? I'm not stupid. I'm just traitoring you first explore other places, and then act at a glance. When will I pull your bull into the Boer War be the most beneficial to China, and when will I tell you that big gold mine in South Africa?"

…………

By the way, after officially signing a legal contract with Ali Kingdom, Wu Chaoyue actually drew a circle somewhere in the eastern section of central Hokkaido, Japan to perfunctory Ali Kingdom. Although he just drew a circle, Wu Chaoyue could swear to the sky that there was a Japanese gold mine ruin that had been exhausted in the 21st century!

By the way, because of the poor history, Wu Chaoyue really doesn't know that the broken gold mine was discovered in that year and that year was mined. This is a later story, so I won't mention it here.

…………

Back to the point, the crows of Ali Country were told, and it was only a day after a while. The consuls of France, the United States, Prussia, Spain and Belgium were indeed going crazy and troubled Wu Chaoyue one after another. Regardless of Wu Chaoyue training, they were scrambling to pull Wu Chaoyue out of the military camp and promised various preferential conditions. Wu Chaoyue continued to talk nonsense and fabricated a geological expert who had already died. He said that he had seen the location of the Japanese gold mine on his map and tried his best to get these foreigners back. In addition to suffering, he had to consider whether the early discovery of the Kagoshima gold mine would lead to the early outbreak of the Meiji Restoration of the Japanese.

After finally sending these foreigners away, Wu Chaoyue went home with shamelessness and begged the comprador grandfather to help him pay for cotton coats to the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Shanghai. As a result, although the comprador grandfather agreed with a gloomy face, he said to Wu Chaoyue: "There is something you want to listen to. It has been two months since you came back to hold a group training. Should you urge the group training in various counties of Songjiang Prefecture to fight a battle with Zhou Lichun? No matter whether it is a loss or a win, at least you have to give the court an explanation?"

It also has the errand training of Songjiang Prefecture. Although Wu Chaoyue, the other six counties in Songjiang Prefecture are encouraged to form group training, and some local gentry handled some group training to defend the place, Wu Chaoyue never cared about them. So Wu Chaoyue replied frankly: "It is useless to dispatch them to Qingpu to suppress the rebellion. As long as their little strength can ensure the safety of the place, I will be Amitabha. Fortunately, there has been no trouble in Qingpu for this period, so grandpa, don't worry, give me another month. As long as the recruits are basically trained, I will send troops to fight Zhou Lichun's Huangdu nest."

"You want to lead your troops to fight Zhou Lichun?" Wu Jianzhang's surprise was extraordinary.

"There is no choice but to go in person." Wu Chaoyue replied helplessly: "I created the Shanghai group training. They were the first time they went to the battlefield. How could I feel at ease to hide in Shanghai and enjoy the happiness?"

He stood up with a loud voice, strode to Wu Chaoyue, stared at Wu Chaoyue with a pale face for a long time, and Wu Jianzhang suddenly shouted: "No, no, you are allowed to go! If you don't want to be an official, I won't stop you! But if you dare to go to the battlefield in person, I will break your legs!"

Knowing that the comprador grandfather was worried about his safety, Wu Chaoyue did not argue with Wu Jianchang and said respectfully: "Grandpa, don't worry, I just pretended to give the court an explanation. I wouldn't really go to the battlefield. I was only seventeen years old and didn't even marry my wife, so I couldn't bear to die."

Seeing that the only grandson was speaking well, Wu Jianzhang was angry and asked his precious grandson a few words, and then took his grandson to find the wealthy businessmen in Shanghai to give out cotton coats. Then, he tried his best to make a wealthy businessmen and gentry take out silver to buy cotton coats for Wu Chaoyue's group training. The thankless grandchildren of the Wu family naturally complained to him again, "I'm shameless, little waste, I only know how to ask for money and grain all day long. I've been doing anything that I've done until now, and I don't even dare to fight a battle. Every brave man is handsome and requires two cotton coats. When I encounter such shameless and little waste, we Shanghai people are really in trouble!"

Originally, Wu Chaoyue planned to send troops to fight after three months of training in Shanghai, but the plan did not change quickly. It took less than half a month for the training soldiers to receive cotton coats. Jiading County, Taicang Prefecture, north of Songjiang Prefecture, suddenly sent an urgent report, saying that there was also a large-scale civil unrest in Jiading. The harsh people launched an uprising under the leadership of a man named Chen Mujin, killing the official who collected grain taxes. Then they responded to Zhou Lichun and marched south towards Huangdu Town. There were signs of reuniting with Zhou Lichun. Taicang Prefecture was forced to send troops to chase him and asked Songjiang Prefecture to send troops to help surround him.

After the official documents were sent to Shanghai, the new Shanghai County Magistrate Zhao Dezhi did not dare to make a decision without hesitation, and respectfully asked Wu Jianzhang, who had been promoted to the third-rank rank quasi-ranking senior official to make a decision. Wu Jianzhang was not polite. Although he convened a meeting of all the county officials, he appointed three hundred green camp troops to cross the Wusong River to the north at the meeting to intercept the Jiading Uprising Army. The Shanghai regiment training led by Wu Chaoyue was left in Shanghai to defend the county town by Wu Jianzhang on the excuse of insufficient training.

Faced with Wu Jianzhang's partial order, the unlucky Shanghai garrison He Shu was reluctant to do so, but his thin arms could not twist his thick thighs. He Shu could only secretly curse the Wu family's grandchildren and honestly agreed. However, Wu Chaoyue wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Wu Jianzhang's fierce gaze. In the end, Wu Chaoyue, who was ordered to protect the county town, could only accept the order obediently, and could not help but say in his heart: "It's a pity that fighting such a mob was the most ideal opportunity to practice combat."

"However, there is no need to regret it. Whether this opportunity can be missed is still a matter of two things."

Everything was said by Wu Chaoyue's crow. He Shu, the garrison of Shanghai, was ordered to go north to stop the tactical actions of the Jiading Uprising Army and the Qingpu Uprising Army. He suffered failure unexpectedly. First, the distance between Chen Mujin and Zhou Lichun was too close, and the reaction time of the Shanghai Green Camp was too limited; second, the Qing army green camp was famous for its combat effectiveness in the late Qing Dynasty, and the third was the current environment in Shanghai. In Wu Chaoyue's eyes, Shanghai is only slightly stronger than the slag, but its wealth is the top in the Qing county towns at the same time. The Shanghai Green Camp, which has been stationed here for a long time, is both smuggling and smoking big smoke. It is both greedy for life and fearing death, and its combat effectiveness has long been transformed into a negative value existence. Therefore...

So He Shu returned in shame. More than ten soldiers of the 300 Green Camp were killed and more than 30 were injured. He lost all his weapons, equipment, flags, gongs and drums. He also said that he should have been chasing behind him and didn't even see half of the Qing army in Taicangzhou, so he was really irresistible. After Chen Mujin's more than a thousand Jiading Uprising Army led by Chen Mujin, the already powerful Qingpu Uprising Army was even more arrogant. Songjiang, Suzhou and Taicang's three prefectures were like a pot of hot water that was about to boil, and it was about to boil in a blink of an eye.

It is better for grandfather to be a high-ranking official. Faced with such a crisis, the comprador grandfather not only did not accuse the precious grandson who was ordered to handle the Songjiang regiment training, but also cursed the failed Shanghai garrison He Shu without hesitation. In the memorial submitted to Jiangsu Governor Yang Wending, Wu Jianzhang also put all the blame on He Shu's head, without a word and a half of the words to mention the precious grandson's fear of fighting and timidity of the enemy and perfunctory excuses. At the same time, Wu Jianzhang, who had accepted the cruel facts, also quietly made up his mind, "If the little beast really doesn't want to be an official, just do whatever he wants. Anyway, he can't spend all my money in ten lives, as long as I keep my only seedling."

As the saying goes, good and evil are rewarded, not repaid. It is not that the time has not come. The comprador grandfather who was playing with authority has just put the blame on outsiders. Suddenly someone stumbled into Wu Jianzhang's customs office and reported that Wu Chaoyue's Shanghai troupe training was empty, and everyone, including Wu Chaoyue, had disappeared without a trace. Wu Jianzhang was shocked when he hurried to the remote troupe training camp, and saw that the camp was empty and there was not even a rat hair. Wu Jianzhang immediately collapsed in front of the sedan chair, and then cried loudly...

"Disobedient! What kind of evil did I do in my previous life? How could I raise such a disobedient and unfilial thing? This unfilial thing must have been to fight the thief on my back!"
Chapter completed!
