Chapter 212: The Battle Clouds Will Begin! (4000 chapters)

Five gunshots, five lives!

Of the five new soldiers, two of them couldn't stand the cruel scene anymore and threw up, and the other three were also trembling and speechless.

can pass the screening, and the psychological quality of several people is good.

But the first killing still greatly impacted their psychological defenses.

Ye Shu let them go and turned his head to look at the other new troops: "There are still six, there are new soldiers who are willing to come out for execution, do without that whip!"

The new army hesitated for a while, but Xu understood that they couldn't avoid this pass, and finally nine new troops came out.

Nine new armies, divided into six people.

Ye Shu inquired about Qinglong, and specially singled out the three "god generals" who had done the most evil, and each of them had two new soldiers, and they were sentenced together.

One left and one right, just symmetrical!

……

Kill people and collect money.

Ye Shu did these two things on this day.

Although it was simple, on the third day, Ye Shu felt the difference.

The audience who was originally out of the way, after reassigning the leader, completely took it for their own use, and no longer had the lazy appearance of the previous atmosphere.

Originally, the daily business of the people was to go around soliciting believers and deceiving people and money.

But now, he is not worried about money and food, he only trains weapons every day, and almost becomes a professional soldier.

Ye Shu even asked for a few more people from the Shahe Gang to help him train swordsmen and spearmen.

……

Fushou Street has completely become the territory of the White Lotus Sect, and new rules have been set.

First of all, the first rule is not to trick the people into smoking opium, and not to allow "newcomers" to enter the smoke house!

Other rules are less conspicuous than that.

In Ye Shu's view, those who smoke a lot of cigarettes can no longer be regarded as people, and if they are willing to sink, then sink.

But this smoke house must not deceive the new people again!

Such rules have affected the business of tobacco houses.

In a smoke shop, several shopkeepers of the smoke shop, one person smoked a big smoking gun, sighing and talking.

"Na Su is really too domineering! Accepting fifty percent of our profits, but setting such a rule, this is obviously trying to force us to die!"

"Who says it's not, but he killed the steward of the palace, and Prince Gong of the capital didn't react, so what can we do?"

The words made everyone speechless.

A shopkeeper said bitterly: "Now the foreigners are eyeing each other, although the court is rich, it has no spare strength to deal with the place, and many places are no longer subject to the order of the capital!"

Guangzhou City is a major trading city, and there are also navies and garrisons nearby.

But since seven years ago, after the navy was wiped out by the Orientals once, the navy of the court has not become a climate.

The local defenders have also long been rotten to the bone.

I heard that seven years ago, the Beiyang Naval Division wanted to burn some burnable coal to improve the strength of the warship, but the court did not give money, and saved everywhere, and the Beiyang Naval Division was wiped out.

And now, although the court is vigorously throwing money to rebuild the sailors and defenders, where can it be effective for a while?

Not to mention, which of the muskets of the powerful families in our Guangzhou city was not bought from the armory of the defenders of Guangzhou?

That group of defenders, reselling ordnance and bullying the common people, let them help us deal with the White Lotus Sect, don't even think about it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more grieved, and they could only smoke a big cigarette and express their grief and indignation.

The dignified defenders of Guangzhou didn't even dare to provoke a view of the sky!

This sounds funny, but it was a common occurrence in the late Qing Dynasty.

Those soldiers who faced the common people and were majestic and domineering, and when they faced those ferocious bandits and White Lotus disciples, they were worried one by one, and they couldn't raise their fighting spirit at all.

There are also those who can fight, but what about after the fight?

The group of people of the White Lotus Sect, although they were still using swords, were extremely fierce and fearless of death, and those soldiers were even afraid of the White Lotus Sect and attacked and killed their families afterwards!

This is no joke!

In the midst of the smoke, a cigarette merchant suddenly scolded: "What do you say, 'the fragrance of Bailian is true', I see a clear 'old traitor of the demon lotus in the world'!"

We have raised so many new soldiers and sectarians, and now we don't even collect forced donations and protection fees, all of them are using our money to raise soldiers!

Although we pay a lot of money and food, if we supply those hundreds of people to eat and chew, the consumption is also very great, I am afraid that when the time comes, Su will really have no money, and he will find us trouble!

That's true, if it goes on like this, sooner or later, our brothers will have no money to make!"

scolded angrily, and heard the surrounding cigarette merchants, all of whom nodded angrily.

Just as the cigarette merchants were discussing, the slave "Xiao Han'er" who was serving everyone outside suddenly came with a message:

There is a distinguished guest asking to meet!

Yan Zhendong came in with a smile, very affectionate, and called friends with everyone, and talked very happily.

Because they are the same enemy, Yan Zhendong's thoughts of "cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing parents" are spreading, and he has never suspected these cigarette merchants at all.

As for the little guy who was serving and serving tea next to him, Yan Zhendong was even more ignorant.

How could such a henchman leak secrets?

When everyone talked about Ye Shu, they were all furious, and they agreed on a time to act.

But he didn't pay attention to it, the originally humble little guy's face lowered his head to serve tea, listening to everyone's conversation, his eyes had narrowed.

When Yan Zhendong saw the little guy leaving, a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart, and he couldn't help asking, "Is this little guy reliable?"

A thin old man who smoked a big cigarette smiled and said, "Lord Yan, don't worry!

This little Han'er is a slave that the old man bought since he was a child, absolutely reliable, and because he knows how to be motivated, he even audited in the 'School of Communication', and learned to speak foreign languages.

He has been raised for more than ten years, he is a dog, and he is loyal, let alone a person?"

As soon as these words came out, all the shopkeepers in the room couldn't help laughing when they heard him say something funny.

Even Yan Zhendong shook his head and smiled, feeling that he was thinking too much.

Such slaves are about to become "clothed house slaves", where will they rebel against their masters?

……

It wasn't until he got out of the room that the slave named "Xiao Han'er" gritted his teeth, and a wave of hatred and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

Behind him, there was a sound of laughter, which made him clench his fists and rely on the pain of his fingernails stinging his palms to endure the anger in his heart.

There is no need to eavesdrop, he can know from the previous words of everyone that he is talking about himself.

Coated house slaves!

A good dog!

A slave for life!

These words, which he already knew and heard countless times in his childhood, are extremely harsh to him now.

The companions around him have never been angry because of these words, including the once young little Han'er.

Because that's what it is.

Since his father sold himself to the owner, he has been told by countless people: he will be a slave of others for the rest of his life, even if he is killed by the owner, the government will not ask about it!

They are a dog raised by the owner!

Originally, he thought the same way.

However, Xiao Han'er still remembers the scene when she first listened to Ye Shu's lecture.

It was seven years ago, Ye Shu subdued the Shahe Gang and gave public lectures in the city in order to establish the "Chuan Xuetang".

Xiao Han'er happened to have something on the street that day, and happened to hear the news, so he rode on the wall and listened to Ye Shu give such a lesson.

Xiao Han'er, who originally lived only the joy and anger of the owner, and only had the vision of Guangzhou City, suddenly seemed to have opened his eyes.

For the first time, he knew that the territory of those Western powers, which were so powerful on weekdays, was so small!

For the first time, he knew that the ground under his feet was a huge ball!

Everything made him extremely novel, and his soul was hit like never before.

Since then, Xiao Han'er has taken the time to listen to the school, even if Ye Shu suddenly disappeared, he is still listening to the teaching hall, but he doesn't know a single big character, but he can learn more than a thousand words, and even learn a lot of foreign words.

Such efforts naturally paid off, and they were able to do higher-level work and receive more attention from the owner.

Food, clothing, and use are also much better.

However, there is still no salary, and he is the owner of the whole person, so where will there be money for him?

However, because the owner wanted to deal with foreigners, although he was reluctant to spend money and sent Xiao Han'er to the "Chuan Xuetang" to study, he also supported him to audit.

Sure enough, after a few years of studying, Xiao Han'er has become the most knowledgeable person among his peers and the right-hand man of the owner.

The proprietor is very satisfied, a slave who was bought for a few taels of silver at the beginning, now he doesn't have to spend a penny himself, and he has become so knowledgeable, and he helps himself to take care of most of the affairs of the tobacco house, which is simply a million profits.

But Xiao Han'er slowly became confused and angry.

As his horizons broadened and his knowledge grew, he felt more and more that he had wasted his childhood, and became more and more disgusted with the label of "slave" on his body.

Just because he was sold since he was a child, do you have to be a dog for the rest of your life?

Xiao Han'er was unwilling, but this society and this country were all working in the background for the "deed of sale", and they couldn't resist at all.

It is only in the daily listening that I feel relaxed and free in my heart.

Yes, auditors.

Until now, the owner still refuses to spend money to send him to school, and even treats this as a funny and wonderful talk to brag about how discerning he was at the beginning.

Originally, Xiao Han'er had no choice, she felt that she was no longer unwilling, and she could only live like this for the rest of her life.

But now it's different!

The White Lotus Sect obviously moves frequently, and does not care about any forces in Guangzhou City at all, listening to the words and deeds of that one-page book a few days ago, I found that he has great ambitions......

Isn't the golden scale a thing in the pool!

This is your chance!

……

That night, looking at the sky.

Ye Shu looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with relief.

After seven years of cultivation, has there finally been a talent?

It's not in vain that I did my best to pass on the school!

Seeing that Ye Shu did not admit it, Xiao Han'er hurriedly said: "Su Xianren! What the villain said is the truth, the governor of Liangguang is indeed what he said, and asked our host to besiege Chaotianguan on August 16, half a month later, taking advantage of the fact that most of the real people in the temple have not returned home!"

Ye Shu came back to his senses and asked, "Do you know what forces there are?"

"I heard Governor Yan say that Yang Xiao in Crouching Tiger Hill, as well as the Black Forest Thief and Hu Chi'er outside the city of Guangzhou!

Several groups of people are really not easy to provoke.

Ye Shu was not unimpressed.

In Xiao Han'er's eyes, these big people who "stomp their feet, Guangzhou City will be earthquaked for half a day" are not worth mentioning in Ye Shu's opinion.

Dare to stomp your feet in front of yourself, you are really going to chop off their feet!

On the contrary, he was more interested in the young man in front of him: "Do you want to enter the 'Mission Hall' to study?"

Xiao Han'er suddenly became excited, and pleaded: "After the matter is completed, the villain doesn't want any reward, just wants to be able to go to the 'Chuan Xuetang' founded by the Lord of One Page Book, concentrate on studying, and don't care about these things anymore!"

"Is it so easy to learn......

Ye Shuchang sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "I promised you!"

Don't worry, the White Lotus Sect and the Missionary Hall will protect you!

Your news is extremely important, and I will leave 1,000 taels of silver for you in the 'Chuan Xuetang' as a reward for your meritorious service in reporting on the military situation this time, and help you go to school!"

It's ridiculous to say.

The murdered tobacco merchant Sun Qitong, the rich second generation, Ye Shu originally cherished talents and wanted to leave him a sum of money to go to school and give the other party a way to live.

As a result, he finally killed him, and now a young man who was born as a slave and did not even have a serious name took the money from himself.

Looking at the figure of Xiao Han'er leaving, Ye Shuchang sighed, and he was about to go back to arrange.

……

Time passes, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole Chaotian view is not as lively as in previous years.

A famous mountain and river, just because of those bald donkeys and miscellaneous hairs cheating money, it has become a miasma, which is something that Ye Shu has always hated.

Now that I live in Chaotianguan, it is naturally impossible to learn from those masters and Taoist masters.

He just erected his cold blade at the foot of the mound outside the view of the sky for those believers to worship.

In other aspects, rice porridge and moon cakes of various flavors like "Eight Treasure Porridge" are placed at the foot of the mountain and distributed to those beggars, poor people, and even young children.

The people had never seen such a temple, and they didn't care about their own sesame oil money, but took out the money to help the poor.

This kind of behavior made the people even more convinced, and they felt more and more that Ye Shu was the real 'White Lotus Authentic'.

Especially the cold blade of the confrontation, delicate and gorgeous, extremely sharp, like a heavenly divine soldier.

In the face of such a "divine soldier", the believers have no complaints.

In this case, those who come to the incense are more respectful and sincere.

However, as the sun sets, in the afternoon, there are fewer and fewer people who offer incense, and even many of the White Lotus Sect members in the temple also have many days off to go home and reunite with their families.

Ye Shu allowed them one by one.

But those swordsmen and new soldiers were not sure, but they just sent a lot of rice and meat to each other's families.

In this way, although the number of Chaotianguan has gone by half, because they are all armed, they seem to be united in their hearts, and there are many fewer obstructive sect members.

The moon shines in the sky, just like a disk, and the entire view of the sky is shrouded in a layer of bright moonlight.

Ye Shu sat on the high platform, letting the night breeze blow on his body, and his sleeves sounded fiercely like a banner in the army.

"This round of moon disk falls, I don't know how many lives will be buried......"

PS: Thank you for the 1000 of Chuan Yue, book friends for rewarding. Thank you two brothers, I wish you two to get up early tomorrow and grow a centimeter taller with their little heads.
