The biggest difference between Xiao Letian's new army and the decadent late Qing army is that he has a conscience, when the poor ship boss kowtowed like pounding garlic, the young soldier's heart softened, those food packages were not moved, and the boat was finally released.

General Ding, who escaped alive, covered his chest with his hands and gasped a few times, "Xiao Letian, you are so vicious, it's not enough to kill us once in the summer, and now you want to completely dig us up?" Lao Tzu went to the capital to sue you, you just wait for death......"

At this time, the soldiers around him whispered, "Don't worry, my lord, the boss of the boat is a relative of my family, it is impossible for him to betray us, and when we get to Tianjin Wei, we will find all the people, and we will kill so many people in the green camp, and it is time for them to die in the Eight Banners......"

"Shut up... You have forgotten General Li's instructions before his death, and now no one knows how big Xiao Letian's power is, and who knows how many soldiers he hid near Tanggu? Do you know that the official who was bribed was only Zhou Mingkui......?

General Ding, don't look at the fierce scolding in his mouth, in fact, he has already lost his heart for a long time, he has a mind now, hurry back to the capital, and bring the news to the emperor and the queen mother, two massacres a year, this is not a life at all.

The water of the Haihe River was rattling, and the thin ice on both sides of the bank was shattered, but everyone knew that the river would be frozen sooner or later.

Xiao Letian's strategy to calm the people was effective in the afternoon of the same day, first of all, those old, weak, sick and disabled people who did not participate in the night battle, they welcomed not Xiao Letian's butcher's knife in the morning light, but the people who were organized around him, as well as a cart of vegetables, rice noodles, and pork from a big fan...... Including a cartload of charcoal.

It is the villagers who have lost their land in Xiaowangzhuang who are responsible for transportation, and the Chinese people are smart and hardworking, since the land no longer belongs to them, then sharpen their heads and find a way to make money. Coupled with Xiao Letian's extra care for these three villages, they received a lot of private jobs.

"Look at it, you know that you are staring, and you don't know how to help, you are all dead?" The old village chief standing on the charcoal cart has never been so bullish in his life. The cart blocked the gate of the camp, and the old man jumped on the fork and began to curse the street.

"You guys are big soldiers with their heads full of tofu scum, let people cheat like stupid dogs, then Sun Sanhu confessed in the prison, he is a Jiangyang thief, a liar... I just want to rob you of the money, look at the energy you yelled at last night, why is it wilting today?"

"It's still Mr. Xiao's bodhisattva's heart, knowing that you are poor and can't live anymore before you are bewitched, so let's send you some food for the winter...... Why are you still stupid looking, open the camp gate for Lao Tzu and I will unload the car......"

Good guy, the old village chief scolded with a red face, he looked at the scared three grandson-like green battalion soldiers in front of him, and felt this relief in his heart, the peasants in the past saw the soldiers who were not scared and cowered, today can be regarded as revenge.

The three villages represented by Xiaowangzhuang all contributed manpower in the night battle last night, and almost all the young men in the village participated in the battle. It is also this night's struggle that has made some changes to these simple farmers who were a little bit of a nest in the past.

There was no fear in their eyes, more confidence and pride, and they could feel the power they had as they clenched their fists. In just one night, Xiao Lotian has already pried open a crack in their hearts and sprinkled a handful of seeds, as for when it can germinate, it depends on their creation.

The soldiers guarding the camp couldn't believe their ears: "What the hell, did you bring us food? or did Mr. Xiao send it? Don't you play with us?"

Phew, the old village chief almost spit out his face with a mouthful of phlegm, "Damn, meat, eggs, vegetables, rice and white noodles have been delivered to you, what do you want? Waiting for Mr. Xiao to personally deliver it to you? You also deserve it...... Grandma..."

The villagers did not wait for the soldiers to make a move, but rushed over themselves, and a few people lifted the gate of the barracks open, and the young men were still scolding and swearing.

"Mr. Xiao is really the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva, after the Great War, the guards of the foreign bank only drank a bowl of tofu brain, and eating a fried dough stick was a meal, but as a result, you shameless sneak attackers, but instead sent meat and vegetables, you were considered to burn high incense in your last life...... Hurry up and set up the stove and boil the water to stew meat......"

In the surprised eyes of the green battalion soldiers, a large cauldron stove was propped up, the ready-made big axes in the camp clattered hard frozen pork, and on the big wooden board, tofu and cabbage were cut like a hill.

After half a day's work, the whole camp was already filled with the aroma of stewed meat and rice, and these greedy soldiers drooled one by one.

The Green Battalion Soldiers and the Eight Banner Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty all belonged to the economic control soldiers of the imperial court and belonged to the most primitive military system. For more than 200 years, it goes without saying what kind of soldiers this old and decayed military system is, let alone dealing with foreigners and the Taiping army, even if it is a bandit, they have to work hard.

This is a typical example of being a soldier and eating food, as long as there is a way to live, whoever is given the highest treatment, they will do it with whom, of course, the premise is that they cannot rebel, and the influence of thousands of years of imperial power is still very great. Now that Xiao Letian has shown the sincerity of the labor army, this group of big-headed soldiers has long forgotten the kindness of those generals, and hurriedly came over to help chop wood and carry water.

When the needle pointed to noon, there were scattered routs outside the camp who returned to the camp, and they were cautious at first, but when they saw that the left-behind personnel had already started to eat with sea bowls, they completely understood that Xiao Letian's promise was really not a joke.

"If you want to die, you have to be a full ghost, the big guys fight to death, what does it have to do with us, go back to the camp to eat......" The world has the biggest meal, and the defeated soldiers rushed back to the old camp, picked up the rice bowl and began to pull. From yesterday evening until now, there have been eighteen hours of water and rice, and even if he goes to the guillotine in the next second, he will have to eat enough now.

From noon onwards, more and more soldiers returned to the camp, and by the evening ninety percent of the soldiers had returned to the camp. Immediately after that, the head of the civil officials on the ground in Tanggu, Zhou Mingkui, who knew the same thing, suddenly appeared.

The soldiers exploded all of a sudden, and some veterans even shed tears excitedly, "The civil officials are here, we are saved, this is not a lie, it is really not a lie...... "In the traditional Chinese concept, the civilian official is the shepherd, and the military attache is the steel knife, and now the green battalion soldiers have committed such a big crime, and the first to come forward is actually the civilian official, which shows that the big men have no intention of killing them all."

"Brothers of the Green Battalion...... You're so wronged...... You have all let Sun Sanhu's liar deceive, he has already confessed in prison, he just wants to use your hands to mess up Tanggu City, and then the Jiangyang thieves under him can take advantage of the chaos to loot various businesses......"

"Poor three generals died so unjustly... Fortunately, we in Tanggu have Lotte to help calm the situation, as the escort of the foreign company and the armed sailors of the foreigners, plus the guys of other firms, they finally foiled this conspiracy, and Tanggu turned the corner from danger to safety......"

The soldiers of the green battalion looked at each other one by one, and their hearts turned upside down: "What's going on, how can the bald soldier who killed so fiercely last night be the guard? How can there be such a powerful foreign escort in the world, and this combat power is about to catch up with the British and French forces......

"Silence, silence, you don't want to die? You can say whatever the adults tell you to say, save your life this year......"

Zhou Mingkui calmed the soldiers' feelings a little, turned his head and went into the big tent, and gathered all the remaining officers.

These survivors of the war, the guerrillas, the capital, the garrison, the thousand generals, and the generals walked into the big tent with anxiety in their hearts and began to listen to Zhou Mingkui's instructions.

"Okay, good, you are really elite, 1,500 people can't even beat 200 foreign guards? And under the chaos, you even led foreigners ashore, how did you guard the country for the emperor?"

None of the officers expected that as soon as they entered the door, they heard Zhou Mingkui's murderous words, and everyone was stunned. "Lord Zhou, what do you mean, why don't we understand?"

Zhou Mingkui sneered and said, "Why didn't the guards of Lotte Yangxing kill all the routs? Why did Xiao Lotian still send you rice noodles and labor troops? Hehe, that's a severed head meal for you......"

"You are all soldiers, no matter whether Sun Sanhu is real or fake, anyway, soldiers go to the battlefield to win the battle, more than 1,500 people can't even win 200, do you think the court will want you?"

"Now that the foreigners have protested to me, saying that the Qing Dynasty is powerless to ensure their safety, their armed sailors have come ashore to assemble, and sandbags have been piled up in the foreigners' residential areas, you idiots can still eat? Are you all tofu scum in your head?"

These officers' faces are now pale, and they can understand that Xiao Letian didn't kill them because he was waiting for the imperial court to do it. Zhou Mingkui is right, if the watchdog is no longer able to watch the door, then there is only one end, that is, to kill and eat meat.

"Please Lord Zhou, save me and wait for ......" The officers fell to their knees, they were completely desperate.

At this time, Zhou Mingkui hurriedly stood up, helped them up with his own hands, and comforted them in a gentle voice, "There is still salvation, things are still saved, as long as you cooperate well, there is no problem in saving your life." Not only that, but you can also ease the relationship with Lotte and foreign company, you must know that the richest man in the Tanggu business district is Xiao Lotian now......"

"Time is pressing, I won't go into some details, but now you have two main tasks. One is to stabilize the morale of the army, everyone should stabilize their subordinates, and they must not talk nonsense, and we will tell you what you should say in the future. And the other is the whereabouts of General Ding......"

"We have cleaned the battlefield three times, and one of the three generals has escaped General Ding, if he is allowed to send the actual situation to the capital, even if I want to protect you, I am afraid it will be difficult, don't make a mistake yourself..."

Human nature is always selfish, and at the moment when their lives are threatened, they will not listen to any bullshit. Zhou Mingkui's threat is not nonsense, in the eyes of the Manchus, there is such a big mess in Tanggu, and the loss of face is thrown to the foreigners, the high-level will definitely be furious.

At that time, it will definitely not be Xiao Letian who they want to kill, and those fools who are not effective in suppressing bandits will definitely be buried with them. Fifteen against two hundred can be defeated, does the imperial court still raise you to eat rice? Kill, kill, kill, the Manchus will definitely not be soft on killing this kind of waste, I dare not say that all the soldiers are killed, anyway, none of these middle-level officers in the big tent can be better.

"Damn, we can't care about staying alive, General Ding, don't blame us...... Lord Zhou, if General Ding wants to escape from here, there is only one way to take the waterway, and he will not enter Tianjinwei, he should go directly to the capital, we only know such a little clue......"

"Okay, well, a little clue is your great achievement..."R405
