Xu Sankui played vigorously off the court, and Han Xiufeng was dazzled. Xu Caizhu was worried that he, a civil official from Sichuan, would not be able to see the way, so he stood up and ran to the side of the public case to explain with a fluttering eyebrow.

"Master Han, this Tongjian is famous for its strength with both arms. This arm has to be sent from the loose shoulders and wrapped around the elbows to form a full arm! You see, the tip of the forehand, the tip of the front foot, and the tip of the nose must be in a vertical line, which is the so-called three-pointed ......"

"Oh, there are so many exquisitenesses!"

"Master Han, if you pay attention to it, then this arm fist is much more exquisite. Xu also practiced when he was young, and vaguely remembered that there was a two-cross key in the boxing book, which was 'cold bullet, crisp and fast, heavy and soft, heavy and violent, light and trembling, and implicit and adhesion-like", but Xu was dull and couldn't endure hardship, although he had practiced for two years, he never understood the essentials. ”

Han Xiufeng thought to himself, you shook your head and said that it was the truth, Xu Sankui's punch off the field was decent, but no matter how good this punch was, it could only strengthen the body. Nowadays, the war not only relies on martial arts but also on firearms, no matter how good the fist is, no matter how fancy the knives, guns and sticks are, and it also blocks the lead shot by the shotgun, but he still pretends to be surprised and sighs: "I didn't expect you to practice for the elderly, I didn't expect you to be an old boxer, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

As he was talking, Xu Sankui finished his set of punches, and in a burst of thunderous cheers, he first bowed to the official master in the pergola and a group of gentry under the pergola, and then hugged his fists and made a circle of applause.

Everyone applauded, Han Xiufeng naturally couldn't say that this punch was bad, he looked up and smiled: "Good fight, this set of punches is good." ”

The rich man Xu was so happy that he immediately took out a handful of copper plates from the money bag, and said in high spirits: "Sankui, good job, I didn't embarrass Nanerbao, even Master Han said that this punch was good!" ”

"Master Xie Han, Third Master Xie." Xu Sankui hurriedly ran to the pergola and knelt down to thank him.

"It's a bounty, take it. In the future, you will be a soldier of the river camp, and you will be a subordinate of Master Han, so you will be a good errand for Lord Han, and you will not be allowed to lose the face of my South Second Fort. ”

"The little one obeys."

The rich man of Nanerbao did this, the local gentry in Gu'an couldn't sit still, Old Man He immediately stood up, bowed down first and saluted Han Xiufeng and other officials, and immediately named the two descendants of the He family camp to come up and show their hands, if they can make Master Han's eyes, they will be rewarded!

As soon as this head opened, the school field became more lively.

The front was dazzling, the back was eager to try, and the onlookers continued to cheer, which was more lively than catching up with the big set. Although he knew very well that no matter how good the punches were, no matter how fancy the knives, guns and sticks were, Han Xiufeng still felt that there was nothing wrong with it, at least not like the original soldiers in the river camp, at least they had a spirit.

Just as he was fascinated, Su Jueming squeezed the pergola from the crowd, picked up the teapot that was boiling on a small stove, walked to the public desk and pretended to be a false tea, and said nervously: "Fourth master, the distinguished guests in Beijing have arrived." ”

Han Xiufeng's heart froze, and he picked up the teacup and asked quietly, "It's so fast, where is it?" ”

Su Jueming turned his back to the school and said with a wry smile: "I just arrived not long ago, and a total of more than 20 people came, all of whom came on fast horses. There are four or five people who are not wearing official uniforms, and they are watching you under the big locust tree in the southwest corner of the school yard, and the Eight Banners soldiers accompanying them are all resting outside the village. ”

Han Xiufeng subconsciously looked in the direction of the old locust tree, first, it was a little far away, and secondly, there were too many lively people, even the treetops were full of figures, and he couldn't stare at that side carefully, so he didn't see it clearly for a while.

"This is going to be a private visit." Han Xiufeng groaned.

"What now?"

"People didn't show their identities, and they didn't send someone to order me to greet them, so pretend that they don't know anything."

"Okay, I'll go down first."

"Go ahead, keep an eye on it."

"Understood."

Although Han Xiufeng made up his mind and pretended to be confused, he was still a little nervous in his heart, after all, this Su Shun was too maverick, not only did he come as soon as he said it, but he came so quickly, he even arrived but hid in the corner to observe, not at all like the clan of the Holy Dependents, it was difficult to deal with Xu Ying and Yang Nengge.

was thinking about how to deal with it after Su Shun revealed his identity, Wanping's old man Chen led twenty young men to arrive, and as soon as he squeezed into the school field, he trotted up to confess.

People sent the most capable descendants in Zhuangzi, how could Han Xiufeng blame him, he still treated him as politely as before, and when Old Man Chen sat down, he gave Chen Chongyu a look.

Chen Chongtong reacted, and immediately ordered the people of the ancestral village who Baozheng found to sound the gong, Yongxiang also realized that it was time to do the right thing, and immediately took Yang Debiao, Datou, Guan Pengcheng and Ji Daji, the second military attaché, to the center of the school field, and ordered the gentry to send more than 400 young men to line up while scolding.

The scribes of the provincial bureau and the group of clerks under Chen Chongtong and Cui Hao also followed with the rosters brought by the gentry, checked them one by one, and confirmed that they were correct with the roster, and then followed Yongxiang and the others back to the pergola.

Chen Chongtong took the roster from the hands of the scribes, bowed down first, and then opened the roster and said: "Master Han, Gu'an County Zhaojiazhuang, Zhai Village, Baidi, East Lake, West Lake, Hejiaying, and solve housework; Yongqing County Hemp Village, Yangma Village, South Erbao, Caimu Camp, Housekeeping; Wanping County Bajiao Village, Dongxinzhuang, Chaoguozhuang...... More than 410 young men such as Yang Dacheng, Yang Baisheng, and Jiang Erbao have all arrived, please review it with Master Han! ”

Originally, the first batch only recruited 380 people, because Ji Yunfei's student Yun Qijun came uninvited, and brought more than 20 young people, plus the gentry who visited before sent a few more than agreed, resulting in more than 30 soldiers than expected.

Han Xiufeng thought to himself, as much as he could, anyway, sooner or later, he would continue to recruit, so he stood up and walked to the public case, his face was straight, he looked around at the more than four hundred young people in the school field, and shouted: "Most of you have seen this official and heard about some things about this official, and there are many people who have never seen this official and have never heard of this official. It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it or heard of it, now I can tell you that this official is Han Xiufeng, the acting Tongzhi on the south bank of the Yongding River, and he is also the battalion officer of the river camp! ”

With the old man's lecture, no one dared to squeak, and the onlookers were worried that the baby would be ignorant and collided with Master Han, and even covered the baby's mouth. The lively school field just now suddenly became silent, and even Su Shun, who was far away in the southwest corner of the school field, could hear Han Si's words.

In fact, Su Shun was really a little disappointed just now, after all, recruiting soldiers is not a trivial matter, and Han Si actually made the school field of Heying like an overpass, allowing those young people to play fists and sticks like performing arts, and even let those young people sit crookedly on the school field and laugh and play.

Just thinking about whether the victory of Wanfuqiao was a false report of his military exploits, and whether Han Si was in vain, Han Xiufeng continued: "This official has just seen your fists and feet, seen your skills, guns and sticks, and also knows that you have not only practiced martial arts, but also most of you were village warriors before you came. ”

Xu Sankui, who had played a set of Tongjian before, secretly thought about it, and thought to himself that it was not that he had never seen the original soldiers of the river camp, if he really started, the regimental training of Hezizhuang would not need a stick of incense kung fu to kill the river camp.

Yang Dacheng, who had just played with the knife, was also a little unconvinced, because before he came, he was not only the teaching of the Zhuangli regimental training but also the deputy regimental leader, and he led more than 40 township warriors on weekdays, secretly thinking about how the Laozi River camp couldn't be mixed.

……

Han Xiufeng didn't care what they thought, and continued: "Before acting as the official on the south bank of the Yongding River, Tongzhi, he had investigated the smugglers, killed the long hair, and also saw the Heaven and Earth Society that had not been eliminated so far. In the eyes of this official, you are just a rabble, if you really go into battle, let alone kill thieves, I'm afraid that more than 400 people can come back alive and forty will be good! ”

The young men didn't expect the Tongzhi Master to say this, and then thought of the things that the gentry said about the old man Han, although they were still a little unconvinced, but they didn't dare to squeak one by one, after all, they really hadn't been in the battle formation.

"As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, but the emperor does not raise useless wine bags and rice bags! Those who want to come to serve in our river camp can receive a hat, gown and weapons later, but if they change into a hat and a gown, they are not considered soldiers of our river camp, and they are not subordinates of their own officials. Because there will be a month of training in the future, those who cheat or violate the camp rules during the drill will not only be punished according to the camp rules, but will also be expelled from the river camp! ”

"However, those who can survive this month are still not the soldiers of our river battalion, and they are still not the subordinates of this official, because they will have to go to Jinghai to quell the chaos in a month. It's a mule or a horse, it's a hero or a coward, and you'll see it on the battlefield! Those who can come back alive are the soldiers of my river camp, and those who can kill thieves and make meritorious contributions are powerful, and this official will ask the Provincial Administration to be promoted, and those who can be promoted to the foreign commission, and even thousands of generals are the officials of the imperial court! ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Su Shun's face.

Han Xiufeng couldn't see Su Shun's side clearly, and he didn't know if Su Shun could hear what he said just now, and he didn't care if Su Shun could hear it, even if he could hear it, he would think about it, so he stared at the young man in the field, and then changed his words: "Guan Pengcheng listens to the order, Xuanying rules!" ”

Guan Pengcheng was startled, stepped forward and said nervously: "Master Han, humble ...... The record of humility is not clear. ”

Han Xiufeng thought to himself that you are a bastard, Lao Tzu has already calculated that you will not remember this, and as a thousand presidents, it is just that you don't remember the camp rules, but it has been several days since you arrived, and you haven't even come to ask for an errand to help with money and food. If you continue to mess around like this, you will be allowed to lead the troops, and I don't know how many people you will kill when the time comes.

You can endure other things, but you can't bear this thing, you can only borrow your ass to make a threat!

"As a battalion officer, I don't even know the rules of the camp, how do you always do it, what kind of place are you in my river camp?" Han Xiufeng glared at him fiercely, and then said with a gloomy face: "Ji Daji Er listened to the order and dragged Guan Pengcheng aside to beat forty military sticks!" ”

"Yes!"

"Master Han forgives the sin, Master Han, you forgive the lowly position, the lowly position will go to see the camp rules......"

"Let's go see it, it's too late!"

Where did Ji Daji Er know that Guan Pengcheng, who Han Xiufeng had already wanted to clean up the corpse vegetarian meal, directly thought that Guan Pengcheng couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people, and even made them very faceless, how could they spare Guan Pengcheng, so he dragged Guan Pengcheng aside and pushed him to the ground, took off Guan Pengcheng's pants in front of so many young people and onlookers, waved the board and beat Bai Huahua's buttocks.

Guan Pengcheng howled in pain, a group of gentry and young men in the school field were terrified, but the onlookers were excited, after all, it is not every day that the official master is beaten by the board.

Because he was blocked by the young men in the school field, Su Shun couldn't see what Guan Pengcheng was beaten, he only heard Guan Pengcheng's howl, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Han Si doing this, but felt that he should be beaten.

At this time, Han Si's voice came from front again.

"Yongxiang listens to the order, declares the camp rules!"

"Order!" Yongxiang had already seen that Guan Pengcheng was not pleasing to his eyes, and he felt that Guan Pengcheng should be beaten, so he bowed and saluted, and then walked in front of everyone and shouted: "On the orders of Master Han, the rules of the camp are all carefully listened to by the master: the soldiers are walking around in the camp, talking loudly, and those who commit crimes during the day will be punished by the eight banners with fifty whips, and the green battalion soldiers will be punished with forty sticks; Offenders who commit crimes at night are to be beheaded immediately if they cause a disturbance in the camp; When guarding the camp gate, those who let outsiders into the camp without reason will be punished with 70 whips from the Eight Banners and 60 with sticks from the Green Battalion. If a soldier is in the battalion, those who dare to act recklessly or act arrogantly and rudely in front of the battalion officer will be punished with arrows in the camp as a warning!

The soldiers marched forward in turn according to the team, regardless of whether the road was flat and narrow, the rear team was not allowed to cross the front team, violators, the eight banners were whipped fifty, and the green battalion soldiers were punished with forty sticks, and they still inserted arrows to tour the camp; Officers and soldiers who oppress the people along the way, buy and sell by force, plunder property, destroy people's houses, and defile women will be beheaded! If there is any disregard for the team and trampling on the grass, the eight banners will be punished with one hundred whips, and the green battalion soldiers will be punished with forty ......."

It's either a stick or a beheading!

And this is not just talking, otherwise Mr. Qian, who was surnamed Guan just now, would not have been dragged over to play the board.

The young men who stood at the front looked at Guan Pengcheng, whose buttocks had been beaten to a bloody blur, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and they no longer dared to have the slightest contempt for the young Tongzhi master in front of them.

What Han Xiufeng wanted was to let these young and strong men who were carefully selected by more than a dozen gentry from the three counties of Gu'an, Wanping and Yongqing be afraid, and while signaling Yongxiang, who had finished announcing the camp rules, to retreat, he looked around at everyone: "Have you all heard it clearly, have you all seen it, my river camp is not a place to mess around!" As long as the heroes in my river camp don't coax the bag, they want to serve the court, protect the family and defend the country, make meritorious contributions, and seal their wives and sons. ”

It was a matter of the family's face, and the rich man Xu was afraid that the children in the village would not be angry, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Master Han, all the children of my Nanerbao are good men, and none of them are greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

"Elder Xu, you don't care if you talk about this, this official wants to hear what they have to say." Han Xiufeng glanced back at the rich man Xu, then walked up to Xu Sankui and the others, looked at them with a smile and asked, "Xu Sankui, give this official a word of accuracy, are you afraid?" ”

Xu Sankui thought to himself that none of the clan elders were greedy for life and afraid of death, if he really said that he was afraid that not only would I not be able to raise my head in Nanerbao, but even the whole family would have no face to be, and even the land would not be planted, so he could only stubbornly say: "Master Han, the small one is not a coward, and the small one is not afraid!" ”
