Li Xing came out of the General Military Mansion and rode to Fanjiazhuang with his guards with flags and honor guards. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now Li Xing is the commander of Tongzhi, Fanjiazhuang guerrilla, the official worships the second grade, and he is also a well-known official. Pedestrians on the road saw the guerrilla general's banner to open the way, especially the "Fanjiazhuang" guerrilla general, knowing that the identity of the person who came was good, and they all got out of the way.

Li Xing was walking forward when he saw a flag team in the distance. Li Xing carefully looked at the flags in the distance and saw several flags: "Shandong Cheng announced that the political envoy should participate in politics on the right," "Shandong was sentenced to the punishment and the envoy was in charge of affairs," and "the military equipment of the middle road of Tianjin." The person who came in front was Yang Xiuming, the new soldier of Tianjin Middle Road.

Shandong Cheng announced that the political envoy was right to participate in politics, and Shandong's punishment was the official title of Yang Xiuming, and what Yang Xiuming really did was the military preparation road on the middle road of Tianjin.

Fanjiazhuang is under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Middle Road, and this middle road garrison is Li Xing's direct boss. Li Xing was about to ask the guard of honor to get out of the way, but he saw that Yang Xiuming's team in front had moved to the left side of the road and gave up the middle of the road to Li Xing.

Li Xing was stunned, thinking that there were still big officials behind him. But Li Xing looked back at the road, but he didn't see the official honor guard.

This soldier is preparing Yang Xiuming, and he gave the road to Li Xing.

Li Xing thought about it for a while, and greeted him with a smile with a guard of honor. He walked to Yang Xiuming's horse, arched his hand on the horse and said, "I didn't expect to see Lord Yang here." ”

Originally, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xing, a guerrilla general, had to kneel when he saw the officers and soldiers preparing for the road. But Li Xing has the support of his brother Li Zhi, but he does not regard the military equipment as a superior, and it is considered a courtesy.

And now that Yang Xiuming has made way for himself, he will really scare Yang Xiuming by kneeling again.

Yang Xiuming jumped off the horse, stood beside Li Xing's horse and arched his hand and said: "I haven't seen the second general for many days, and the second general is fine." ”

Li Xing was secretly amused when he saw Yang Xiuming jumping off the horse and calling himself the second general.

Li Zhi is a general, and he is the second general of Tianjin? It seems that after the arrest of Cha Dengbei and other four civil officials, the civil officials in Tianjin no longer have the courage to protest with Li Zhi. Now this Yang Xiuming wants to scold Li Xing with a sentence of "second general", and he is about to jump off the horse with a salute, where is there still a little Shangguan shelf?

Li Xing said with a smile: "Today, Li Xing is entangled in mundane matters, and he will visit the military garrison mansion another day and say goodbye!" ”

"Second general, go slowly!"

Li Xingzhi was complacent, and waved his horsewhip to the front.

Jiang Chong sat in the middle of more than a dozen neighborhoods and took a sip of tea lightly.

Jiang Chong is now the backbone of the Tiger Division, and he is already the company commander of the trapping regiment. He was recruited to join the selection regiment in September of the seventh year of Chongzhen, starting from a small soldier, and relying on his military exploits in Chongzhen's ninth year to be promoted to the squad leader of the Broken Regiment. Later, the trapping regiment was established, and he was transferred to the trapping regiment as a platoon commander. At the end of the eleventh year and the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, he led his troops to kill the Tartars in Gyeonggi with the general, and according to this exploit, he was promoted to the commander of the trapping regiment.

Now Jiang Chong has one hundred and twenty-four soldiers under him, nine taels a month, and he is already a middle-level officer in Fanjiazhuang.

This time, Jiang Chong returned to the "old city" of Fanjiazhuang to protect more than a dozen neighborhoods.

The so-called Fanjiazhuang Old Town is actually Fanjiazhuang before Li Zhi came to Fanjiazhuang to be the officer of the 100 households. This area had been bulldozed when Chongzhen repaired the city walls and villas in the eighth year, and Li Zhi compensated each of the old residents of Fanjiazhuang with a small villa. These Fanjiazhuang natives live in the northeast of the city, and after these years of development, most of them are engaged in business and trade in Fanjiazhuang and live a well-off life.

However, compared with the soldiers of Fanjiazhuang and the workers of Li Zhi's factory, the living standards of these natives in Fanjiazhuang are relatively backward. There is still a gap between the income of young people who earn more than two taels a month as a trader and Li Zhi's monthly support of workers and four and a half of the support of soldiers.

Among these natives, the most prominent are Jiang Chong and Hua Zhang, who were officers in the Tiger Division. Now both of them are company commanders, and they both marry daughters-in-law who are like flowers and jade, and live in magnificent luxury villas. Both of them already had children at a young age and lived a life that was envied by everyone.

The situation of Jiang Chong and Hua Zhang made the natives of Fanjiazhuang understand that if they want to live a good life, they must closely follow the footsteps of the general. It is not enough to follow in Fanjiazhuang, but also to follow in the factory and the army, so that there will be a bright future.

This time, the Tiger Ben Division recruited new soldiers again, and the natives of Fanjiazhuang were unwilling to lag behind any longer, so they found Jiang Chong and asked Jiang Chong to guarantee the natives of Fanjiazhuang.

Looking at the eager eyes of the old neighbors in his childhood, Jiang Chong coughed, turned around and asked the old Xing Tou beside him, "Father Xing, what do you say first?" ”

Lao Xingtou is sixty years old, the oldest person among the indigenous people in Fanjiazhuang, and he was originally quite prestigious in Fanjiazhuang. But when Li Zhi came and changed Fanjiazhuang, Lao Xingtou gradually fell behind. His only son sells fish in the Chengbei market, and his income is too different from that of Jiang Chong and Hua Zhang.

In comparison, Lao Xingtou's family and Jiang Chong's family have turned over. Jiang Chong's family was one of the poorest families in Fanjiazhuang, and Jiang Chong almost fled from Fanjiazhuang in the seventh year of Chongzhen. But on the eve of Jiang Chong's escape, the general came, and Jiang Chong was recruited as a soldier of the general, and since then he has risen step by step.

Now in the eyes of this group of natives, Jiang Chong's one sentence is worthy of Lao Xing's first ten sentences.

Hearing Jiang Chong let himself speak, Lao Xingtou was a little embarrassed, and said with a pipe in his mouth: "I don't say it, you just say it!" You are now a company commander, and everyone is counting on you, waiting for you to speak! ”

When Jiang Chong heard this, he stood up and said, "Neighbors, this time the general wants to recruit 8,000 people, this is an opportunity!" ”

"Why is it an opportunity? Because this recruitment of new recruits requires veterans to be sure, and a veteran can only protect five people. In other words, there are only more than 60,000 people competing for these 8,000 shortages! ”

"Compared with the previous situation where more than a dozen people fought for a position, the competition this time is not so fierce."

"If you follow the general, you will be on the rise. Everyone has seen the situation of me and Huazhang. Now my daughter-in-law not only does not need to spin and weave, but also bought a maid to do chores, and my daughter-in-law only takes care of the children. As long as you keep up with the Shogun, a better day is just around the corner. ”

Jiang Chong glanced at more than a dozen households and looked at his neighbors, knowing that these neighbors were waiting for him to say if he could guarantee them.

Jiang Chong nodded and said, "Yes, as a company commander this time, I can protect fifteen people."

Hearing Jiang Chong's words that he could protect fifteen people, the natives below were excited and talked about happily. There are twelve families here and fourteen strong men who want to enlist in the army, and Jiang Chong can keep them all.

But Jiang Chong said: "But I want to make it clear, I am responsible for being a guarantor." If there is a spies, the guarantor will lose his head. I have been working in Fanjiazhuang for the past three years, and I can guarantee the thirteen people who have not left the city. Chen Erdan went to Huizhou to seek refuge with his uncle the year before last, and stayed outside Fanjiazhuang for two years, I can't protect it! ”

Hearing Jiang Chong's words, Chen Erdan hurriedly said: "Brother Jiang, I have studied in Huizhou for two years, and I haven't done anything bad, and now I don't do it anymore!" Why don't you protect me? ”

Jiang Chong shook his head and said: "I don't know who you met in Huizhou and what happened, I don't dare to joke with my head." ”

Chen Erdan was very disappointed, squatted on the ground in a fit of anger, and was reluctant to stand up again.

Looking at what happened to Chen Erdan, the other neighbors all took a breath, and secretly said that they were fortunate to have stayed in Fanjiazhuang all these years. Fanjiazhuang is a paradise in troubled times, as long as you follow the general, you will have a good life. In this chaotic year, going out to visit relatives and friends is not in tune, and when you come back, you will be suspected of having different intentions. (To be continued.) )
