Late Qing Dynasty (29): No poison, no husband.
In the late spring of the seventh year of Guangxu, the twenty-two-year-old Yuan Xiangcheng made up his mind that he would no longer be a "little Yuan" classmate without a story, after all, the arrogance of "swallowing Hu Tianjiao in one mouth" could only smooth out his edges and corners in the battlefield. In May of that year, "Xiao Yuan", who had packed his bags, went to Dengzhou, Shandong Province, with a group of young men, and defected to Wu Changqing, the "father's executive". The "Viceroy of Wu", who was already a military attaché of the Qing court from Yipin, had a deep relationship with the Yuan family, and he talked about the kindness he had once had, let alone taking in Xiao Yuan, or directly donating an official. Because Wu Changqing's father was Wu Tingxiang, a gentry in Anhui with the name of "national soldiers", Xianfeng organized a regiment to train against the enemy Taiping Army for three years and was besieged at Lujiang, and sent his son Wu Changqing to ask for help from Yuan Jiasan, and Xiao Yuan's heir yuan Baoqing led troops to help, but unexpectedly "delayed time" Lujiang fell, and Wu Yanxiang was killed in battle. Yuan Jiasan, who did not want to go, left Wu Changqing to "study with the camp".
Therefore, after the trace, Wu Changqing naturally took good care of the "Little Yuan" who came from thousands of miles. After all, this was a martial artist with great kindness, otherwise when Yuan Baoqing died in Nanjing, Wu Changqing would not have made a special trip to treat the funeral. Although Xiao Yuan had something to rely on, his restless heart was still stupid, but unfortunately he was not the material for reading, even if there was a teacher like Zhang Xiao, the "Champion". However, Xiao Yuan was very clever in handling affairs, and soon Wu Changqing entrusted him with the "deputy camp office". Xiao Yuan, whose ambitions and ambitions are not here, is it satisfied that the camp assistant can be satisfied, he is waiting for the opportunity to show his skills, and the Dprk has indeed become his best temple capital.
In the Qing Dynasty, when many people did not have the opportunity to go abroad, Yuan Xiangcheng thought that it was just a trip out, and then a fight could be honored to return to his hometown, who knew that it was a twelve-year one-way ticket. Twelve years of bitter cold travel, although there is also his own car "unicycle", ginseng and kimchi are enough, Yuan Xiangcheng found that his career ambitions can not see hope. Although he had trained the New Army here and had the real power of "supervising the country" and won the reputation of "bravery, decisiveness, and knowledge of the soldiers", he had to abandon Wu Changqing, a leader of the army with the grace of knowledge, because the platform for the "Qingzi Camp" that Wu Changqing could provide was too low. Therefore, with the help of his uncle Yuan Baoling, who served as the secretary of the cabinet, Yuan Xiangcheng entered the account of Li Hongzhang, the head of the Huaijun clique.
As the "li xiangguo" who was "the most capable of being an official" in the late Qing Dynasty, the protégé Yuan Xiangcheng naturally had to accept the name. However, this kind of submission of fame, Yuan Xiangcheng, who has passed the age of establishment, has become familiar enough to be handy. That is, to cross the level of secret reports, to belittle his boss Wu Changqing, and to take the opportunity to express himself as a springboard. Li Hongzhang naturally saw it thoroughly, and although the "Qingzi Camp" was said to be an old team member of the Huai Army, it was dull and dull, and it needed a "rising star" to be an "agent" in that place. Therefore, Wu Changqing led three battalions of "Qing army" back to China to garrison Jinzhou, ostensibly to guard against the French fleet and strengthen the coastal defense of the northeast, but the actual intention was only to make a position. When Wu Changqing was parting, the three battalions of men and horses who remained in the camp came to send them off, after all, they had been fighting with the army for decades, and they could not help but rely on each other.
In the end, Wu Changqing comforted everyone: "Yuan Xiangcheng and I have three generations of friendship. I pulled it up again, and I won't change the routine and do something sorry for me. As everyone knows, "once the heavenly son and one courtier", Wu Changqing just left, and yuan Xiangcheng, who was establishing a prestige, began to resettle his own people, and at the same time said: "What are the people of the three battalions in the district, that is, to hand over all the people of the six battalions of the Qing Army to me, and I am ashamed of my ancestors." Wu Changqing was stripped of half of his men and horses, and the old ministry wrote letters accusing Yuan Xiangcheng of monopoly, which was even more like adding fuel to the fire, he had the heart to help this son and nephew, he did not expect such a fate, and soon died of illness in Jinzhou. He would not know that even "Li Xiangguo", who was an extremely popular subject after he saddled his horse, would be a stepping stone for this "bandit-filled" son and nephew.
