At this time, Huang Zhongyuan and Xu Guichuan were directing their men to clean up the messy cottage after the battle, bury the bodies of the bandits who were killed, detain the prisoners, and count the seized materials.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Zhongting rushed to the Eagle's Beak Cottage with the guard company and others.

At this time, Huang Mingtang, commander-in-chief of the Hekou Uprising Revolutionary Army, had woken up, but his body was still very weak and lying on a stretcher.

Huang Zhongyuan and Xu Guichuan hurriedly went to the gate of the village to greet them, and they were startled when they saw Huang Mingtang, who had already woken up, and felt a little weak.

"Commander, are you finally awake, are you feeling better? We've just laid down a bandit den and seized a lot of goodies. After speaking, Huang Zhongyuan and Xu Guichuan stood awkwardly on one side.

A little weak-hearted, but can you not be weak-hearted, even listening to the command of a fifteen-year-old child, changing the commander's original plan to march to Lao Cai, Vietnam, the commander may not blame the child, after all, it is his only son, but they are all adults, and they are veterans who have been soldiers for several years and fought a few battles, and they are crazy with them, in case the blame is down, it is possible to shoot before that.

Huang Mingtang, who was lying on the stretcher, waved his hand slightly, and said weakly: "The Zhongting court has already told me what happened, my body is no longer able to take you to war, and the Zhongting court will take over in the future, he is still young, you must take care of it more, I also told the Zhongting, don't do what you want, listen to the opinions of a few of you, okay, that's it!" ”

Huang Mingtang closed his eyes after explaining, seeing this, Huang Zhongyuan and the others understood that their commander still hadn't come out of the shadow of the previous defeat, and then Huang Zhongting motioned to the person who took care of his father to carry him to a house.

Huang Zhongting was not affected by his father's state, he was just a cheap father he picked up for nothing, and it was only half a month before he was reborn in this life, and his feelings were not so deep.

On the contrary, he was still complacent because of the power that had just been recognized by the "official", but he did not show it on his face.

Turning to look at Huang Zhongyuan on the side, he asked, "Cousin, how is the situation in this battle, let's talk about it briefly."

Huang Zhongyuan responded in a deep voice: "In this battle, 187 bandits were killed and wounded, and the Eagle King, the big boss of the Eagle's Beak Cottage, was also killed in the chaos, and 637 prisoners were captured, all of whom are currently concentrated in an open space in the northeast corner of the camp. Our army suffered 4 casualties, 1 was killed, 3 were slightly wounded, and captured the French army standard rifle made in 1892

There are 15 guns, 2,000 bullets, 30 earthen guns, 25 bags of fire, estimated 2,000 catties, no projectiles, no food and other materials, and they are still being counted. ”

Xu Guichuan added with some excitement: "According to the confession of the captured bandits, the Eagle King, the big boss of Eagle Beak Mountain, also has a treasure trove, hidden in the nearby mountains, only the Eagle King and a few of his cronies know the specific location, but unfortunately when we just attacked, the Eagle King and several of his cronies wanted to escape from the cliff in the back mountain, but unfortunately, he bumped into more than a dozen soldiers arranged by the commander of the Huang Company in the cliff of the back mountain, and was suddenly sudden, it is quite funny to think about it." ”

After saying that, several people chuckled a few times.

Huang Zhongting looked at the sky that was already approaching evening, and said slowly: "In this way, find a few prisoners who are very familiar with this area, and search this treasure house overnight, I am very interested in the belongings saved by this Eagle King, and the captured bandits will be locked up first." ”

"In addition, remember the people who died in this battle, and give them more condolences when we find their families when we go out, and, cousin, bring over those who have distinguished themselves in this battle tomorrow morning, and I have already thought about how to settle this group of captured bandits."

After Huang Zhongting finished speaking, he turned to look at the soldiers who were looking around, and suddenly said loudly: "Order the cooks, get ready, everyone will drink wine and eat meat together at night." ”

Cheers rang out instantly, and although there were only about one hundred and sixty people, everyone was cheering excitedly, and the lively atmosphere filled the entire camp.

Listening to the cheers around them, Liao Zhongyi, Huang Zhongyuan and others became more and more emotional, and more and more gratified, each of them was extremely loyal to Huang Mingtang, as Huang Mingtang's heir, Huang Zhongting, in just one sentence, the morale of the revolutionary rebel army that was on the verge of collapse was raised again, and they all showed a smile that they hadn't seen for a long time, especially Liao Zhongyi, who watched Huang Zhongting grow up, such an atmosphere made him almost cry.

After that, Huang Zhongting found a corner where no one was, sighed secretly, came to this world, the surrounding environment, the people around him, made him feel familiar and strange, he liked this atmosphere very much, and thought that it would be good to stay here carefree for a lifetime, but he knew that this was just a dream.

It was already 1908, and three years later, the era of chaos that would have a profound impact on the present and future generations was coming, and no one dared to guarantee that they would survive in peace, from the big people who participated in the era of great chaos to the ordinary people.

It's time to think about how to go in the future, Huang Zhongting secretly said in his heart, relive a lifetime, even if you don't think about the people around you, you should think about yourself.

He knew that if he wanted to live comfortably in such a turbulent era, he had to fight and rob, but he had no clue how to fight and how to rob.

I asked for money, but I was embarrassed, and I couldn't find a copper plate when I turned out my pants pocket; If you want a gun, I'm embarrassed, it's just a hundred and ten broken guns; Dignitaries, even more embarrassed, just these 100 people, not as many as bandits.

And he may have to face an enemy with a million-strong army in the future, the Qing court in front of him, the warlords of the feudal towns who will support their own troops in the future, and even the great powers of various countries.

The sky gradually darkened, Huang Zhongting thought about it for a long time and still didn't come up with any clue, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "God, you gave me such a big opportunity to be reborn, why can't you give me a little more?" Why don't you let me have a beautiful life, be healthy, be above 10,000 people, and ...... three palaces and six courtyards?"

In the evening, Huang Zhongting and his group of officers took the initiative to integrate into the bonfire feast of ordinary soldiers, eating meat and drinking wine, and gradually became drunk, perhaps because this body of only fifteen years old was too strong to drink, or maybe it was because he wanted to forget his tragic fate and drunk himself.

But then, the drunken brain began to heat up, and on the spot he drew a big pie for the more than 100 people under his command, what would be paid to each person on time every month when he found the treasure house of the bandits, and what would find a beautiful daughter-in-law for everyone in the future, etc., and drew a lot of pies.

At this time, everyone was very happy, but no one noticed that inside a door, a pair of beautiful eyes were looking seriously at the vigorous figure in the crowd in the distance through the crack in the door.
