The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 201 Integration
All the towns in the jurisdiction have sent new troops there.

Zhang Ergou: "My lord, I have received a telegram from the capital, and the imperial court wants you to enter the capital."

Jiashan's new army was arranged to take over everywhere.

In the past, the new army had to be at least the second-ranking official position, and the actual power had to be the first.

The original soldiers had more or less flaws.

One of the biggest problems is smoking opium.

All started smoking cessation actions, and all the soldiers were miserable for a while.

These days, all the soldiers in all towns have been reorganized.

Runtu: "Is there any more? Let's finish it."

"It's about preparing for the establishment of a constitution. My lord, the capital is far away, so there will be no accidents."

The imperial court is about to formally prepare for a constitution.

The uprisings in the provinces were relatively frequent. Although they all failed, it was also a headache for the court, and the constitutional matter could be eased.

What Runtu was doing in Jiashan was very vigorous, and the court knew about it. This constitutional matter required Runtu to come to the capital to have a look.

The capital sent messages to several officials.

"My lord, are you going to the capital?"

Runtu: "Of course I have to go. If I don't go, I'm going against the decree."

Zhang Ergou: "Be careful. Bring more people."

"You, plus 25 people from the special class of the military academy, will go north with me."

The current Jiashan is still stable, and it doesn't matter much whether he is there or not.

Go to the capital to see.

Get out more.

After all, the capital is the best place.

The next day, I took more than 20 people to the capital.

This is far enough.

Now there is a railway, but the railway is very underdeveloped.

Only paragraph by paragraph.

Might as well ride a horse.

The distance is really inconvenient.

Although land transportation is inconvenient, fortunately there is water transportation.

Ships are also slower.

It took nearly ten days to arrive in the capital.

Some ministers engaged in the new army came together.

Runtu also has this qualification.

Although the official rank is a little lower, but the strength is strong.

Tens of thousands of new troops.A relatively large force.

Among them, Yuan Datou is the most powerful.

There are six towns of new troops, 8 to [-] people.The equipment and the quality of the soldiers are also relatively awesome.

On the other hand, Runtu has only one Xiexin army in name, but in fact it has a town full of staff.

Yuan Datou: "When the Queen Mother talked about constitutionalism, she almost shed tears with emotion. He said to me with a heavy heart, internal strife and foreign aggression are getting worse every day. If there is a constitution, there will be peace, and if there is a constitution, there will be chaos. Really. Nothing can be done."

"How did you answer the Queen Mother?"

"I said it again. It is better to establish a constitution than to wait for death. Even if it is not beneficial, you can avoid regret."

Now the court is in decline.

There are too many incidents.

Get a constitutional monarchy and see if it can be restored.

After the constitution is established, the cabinet must be formed.

Yuan Datou was ambitious and was waiting for such an opportunity. He naturally hoped that the court would establish a constitution sooner.

Let those royal relatives have less power, and court ministers like him have more power.

Several Han ministers were having a meeting.

On one side, those full-fledged royal relatives were also in a meeting.

"Prince Qingqing is a bastard. He forgot that he is a direct descendant of the royal family. He is a minister of the Qing Dynasty. Why does he always turn his elbows to the Han people?"

"It's even more serious. This time, many Han courtiers came to Beijing, and these powerful Han people formed an alliance together."

"Lafayette summoned Yuan Datou, do you know what they said?"

"I don't know. This old thief didn't reveal a word. He is still locked at home and thanking guests behind closed doors."

"Cunning, is there any new situation outside now?"

"Not only Yuan Datou, but also Zhang Zhidong. Forget about these two, they even summoned that Zhang Ruosong alone."

"Bastard. God, do you really want these Han people to usurp my Qing imperial power?"

"Lafayette's body is in decline, and I'm afraid time is running out."

"Really?"

"Of course. It is for this reason that the traitor Yuan Datou is so eager to see Lafayette."

"Lafayette is a big tree behind them. If this big tree falls, their dreams will be shattered."

Once the constitution is established, Yuan Datou is very likely to enter the cabinet, and his power will go further.

In a few days, the constitution was ready.

Some courtiers held a meeting to prepare the first part of the constitution, which is the new official system.

"This move is the first of its kind in the ages. Lafayette said that from today onwards, the Eight Banners will be dismissed."

"The world's constitutional system, the Queen Mother understands it well, and sets an example. It is really a blessing for my court."

"Look at the charter above. The Inspectorate is going to be removed?"

"After the Constitution is enacted, the Inspectorate is useless, and a new department will be built to fit the new system."

"Nonsense. Supervising the censor is the eyes and ears of the imperial court. Correction of lawlessness, impeachment of dereliction of duty, and fear of all officials. If there is a heart of disobedience, it should be impeached to correct the rules. Such an important department, how can it be abolished. If it is gone today The censor, those high-ranking and ambitious people, who will supervise them. The old man supports the preparation of a constitution, but this is all inspected by the censor, who is the eyes and ears of the court. Anyone who dares to make decisions is a traitor."

"You are serious."

"Is it serious? There are traitors among you."

Yuan Datou: "My lord, please speak clearly."

"You think that the king is deaf and blind. The new official system has not yet been agreed, and you, Yuan Datou, have been appointed as the deputy chief. If the official system has not been agreed, you just want to control the court. If you are not a traitor, what is it?"

Most of the people here are ministers of the second rank or above.

Runtu's grade is very reluctant, although he attended the meeting, but he didn't have the opportunity to speak.

Yuan Datou, "I said, my lord, the most urgent task is to determine the new official system. As for the selection of candidates, it is not today's topic."

"There is no ghost in my heart, why dare not say it. If this traitor is not eliminated, there is no need to discuss the new official system."

"It seems that the prince doesn't care about his priorities."

After discussing the issue of the bureaucracy for a week, it was finally resolved.

King Qing became the chief of the cabinet.

Yuan Datou, vice president.

Many officials from the Sixth Ministry moved.

Those who didn't want to move went to Prince Qing's Mansion to give gifts.

The Empress Dowager saw Runtu again.

I saw it many times when I was in Chang'an.

"Zhang Ruosong, someone impeached you, saying that you are a soldier and self-respecting. The Jiashan Mixed Association does not obey the orders of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Township Commanders. Tell me."

It was the Minister of the Ministry of War who came back to parade last time to impeach him.

The formation of the new army consists of two towns as one army, two associations as one town, one town with more than 1 officers and soldiers, two bids as one association, and one association with more than 2000 officers and soldiers. Each bid has three battalions, and each battalion has four teams. .Each town also governs an artillery team with nearly 1 officers and soldiers, a cavalry team with 1 officers and soldiers, a supply battalion, more than [-] officers and soldiers, and an engineering battalion with more than [-] officers and soldiers.Each team of infantry, artillery and engineers has three rows, and each row has three sheds.There are two rows of horses, each with two sheds.There are three rows of baggage teams, and each row has three sheds.

The actual strength of the Association of Runtu is a town.

The No.20 town is stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

There are tens of thousands of new troops in Jiashan.

There are only seven or eight thousand new troops in the provincial capital.

"This, the minister has no such intentions."

Runtu tensed up.

It doesn't matter though.

You can still use the space ability yourself.

It's just that the farther away from Jiashan, the smaller the scope.

When you come to the capital, the effective distance of the space is only three to five centimeters.

This distance is enough, at least he is still invincible.

It's just that it's a bit troublesome to kill the enemy.

You need to be constantly moving.

It may also be impossible to catch up with others.

Runtu kept thinking about what the old lady said.

Is this trying to seize the power in your own hands?
Yuan Datou has troops from the six towns of Beiyang, so don't mess with him.I am only a town.It's just an association in name.

Runtu's army was more numerous.

The stragglers of some villages and towns have been integrated.The combat power is estimated to be nothing.

"And your factories in Jiashan, roads, even railways, mines. These."

"Military affairs, railways, mines, factories, all the officials are willing to hand over."

I really can't figure it out, the court is so poor, even Jiashan wants to take it back.

The big deal is the other way around.

That's what Runtu is saying now, so naturally he won't hand it over when he returns to Jiashan.

The imperial court is now less than two years old.

According to the date, the Empress Dowager will have to drive west this year.

Runtu left the palace.

Arrived at a Zhuangzi in the capital.

This was bought earlier.

There is also the Runtu industry in the capital.

The big pharmacy is now a well-known pharmacy in the capital.

Back in Zhuangzi, Zhang Ergou looked at Runtu: "My lord, I feel that your complexion is not very good."

Runtu: "The Empress Dowager wants me to hand over the military power, and put it under the control of the Ministry of War of the Cabinet, as well as factories, railways, water transportation, mining and so on."

Jiashan has no mines.

But there are mines in Jiaxin as a whole.

"Hand it all over? Isn't this bullying?"

"Of course not."

Jiashan has developed for so many years.

It has been ten years since I was admitted to Jinshi in the year of [-].

It took ten years of development to have what it is today.

How can it be said that it will be handed over.

Runtu didn't take it too seriously.

Shoot out the head bird, Yuan Datou is much stronger than him at present.

Just chatting.

Someone from outside Zhuangzi hurried over.

"My lord, it's not good, something happened."

"What's the matter? Take it slow."

"Wang Wu stopped a foreign soldier molesting a woman on the street, and now they are arguing."

Runtu and Zhang Ergou went there.

Sure enough, I saw two groups of people pointing their guns at each other.

At this time, there were still many foreigners in the capital.Beijing has a large embassy area.

Language barrier.

Runtu knew Russian.

We communicated in the past.

The Russian was very angry.

I want to bet my life with the people from Runtu's side.

Play that very classic game of Russian Revolver.

The craziest gamble in the world, one bullet for one life.

But the language barrier, the new army has no idea what these Russian troops want to do.

Runtu can understand.

Immediately stepped forward and said in Russian: "I'll bet with you."

The game is simple: a revolver.The gameplay is also very simple: put a bullet into a cylinder, rotate the cylinder, and the gamblers take turns holding the pistol against their own head or the opponent's head, and pull the trigger until one party falls or timidly withdraws.

It's not so much a gamble as it is a game of death, a lunatic's game of desperadoes.

There are two ways to play, the more traditional way, that is, to rotate the cylinder before each shot, then the probability of shooting first and then shooting is the same, the mortality rate is 16%, and the survival rate is 83%.The gameplay is very brutal and exciting.

Death roulette, that is, no longer rotating the cylinder, the probability of death is 16.6% for the first shot, 20% for the second shot, 25% for the third shot, 33.3% for the fourth shot, and 50% for the fifth shot. The sixth shot is fatal, one hundred percent.There is no difference between the first shot and the second shot. There is no skill, and everything depends on fate.

Russia had this game decades ago.Revolvers were already relatively popular at that time.

Russia is still more aggressive.

I heard that Runtu agreed, and he will also speak Russian.They came with interest.

It's the first way to play.

The mortality kind.

Throw a revolver to Runtu.

Both loaded a bullet into it.

Start turning the cylinder.

The location of the bullet is no longer known.

The Russian fired first.

No sound.

Runtu also fired without a single shot.

He has actually put the bullet into the space.

Just wait until the game is over and then put the bullets in there.

The game continues.

Three shots.

Neither of them died.

One in six chances.

It's not that easy to die.

Now Zhang Ergou understood.

Runtu actually played such an exciting game with them.

Immediately stepped forward, "My lord, let me replace you."

Runtu pushed him away.

This game is already impossible for him to lose.

It's time for the fifth shot.

The Russians shot and died in this game.

The other Russians felt a little sad and quickly adjusted.

Instead, he was curious that Runtu was fine.

Ask to see his gun.

Runtu put the bullet in again.

They looked at the gun and there was nothing wrong with it.It's just bad luck.

Still not convinced, thinking about doing it again.

At this time, four people are required to participate.One of them was the Xinjun who stopped the Russians from molesting women.

A revolver can hold six bullets, but only one is randomly loaded.

Taking turns, everyone shoots themselves in the head.

Whoever pulls the trigger and it goes off is bad luck.If you lose the bet, you lose your life.

Three people sit together.

There is a revolver on the ground.

provided by the Russians.

Runtu took the first shot.The space ability noticed that this bullet was at the position of the first shot.

Just pull the trigger and it's gone.

This luck is against the sky, but fortunately, he has the ability of space.

Using the space, put the bullet in the sixth position.

The first shot was fired very calmly.

It didn't ring, and handed it to the Russian.

The Russian also fired a shot and handed it to the person next to Runtu.

Two shots have been fired.

The probability of being shot is increasing.

Only Runtu didn't panic at all, he already knew the ending.

He handed it to the Russian again, and took the gun. The Russian gritted his teeth and shot himself in the head, but it didn't go off. He breathed a sigh of relief, and passed the gun over again.

Next, Runtu, the fifth shot.The probability of being shot is [-]/[-].

Either Runtu died or the Russians died.

"grown ups."

The new army is very nervous, after all, the probability is half.

The end result speaks for itself.Of course there was no sound.

There was only one last shot left, and the gunfire fell silent.

Obviously, the bullet was in this shot.

The Russians were completely flustered now.
