After negotiating with Wang Shangli and his entourage, Zhang Qiang handed over the specific matters to Gu Yuesheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who was responsible for various logistics deployments and weapons business.

Jinling Mansion, Zhang Qiang and Wei Wuji walked in a palace courtyard, looking at this courtyard like a big prison, Zhang Qiang not only felt the heaviness of his history, but also felt that it was a waste of money for the people, and it was not good to use so much money on people's livelihood.

Wei Wuji's personal guards and Zhang Qiang's personal guards lined up along the road in the palace, with straight uniforms, shining spear tips, heavy new compacted gunpowder, bullet flints, wide placket robes, and large caps.

Some are military majesty, and some are a kind of real majesty in strength, which is different from the majesty of the palace, the majesty of the army is mobile and strong, while the majesty of the palace is dead, indifferent, and impersonal.

The two of them walked and chatted about the recent topic, Zhang Qiang was wearing a casual moon-white robe in the style of a Changming robe, with a short head and hands behind his back, walking slowly, Wei Wuji was wearing a military uniform, holding his big cap in one hand, following Zhang Qiang, he was wearing a newly made short fire gun on his waist, and a Huaxia military-style waist knife on the other.

"I heard that you raise a woman in Jinling Mansion?" Zhang Qiang asked with a smile.

Wei Wuji said embarrassedly: "Governor, my age is not too young, in our place, seventeen or eighteen years old have already married and had children, at my age, his children can work in the fields, and the private school can memorize the Five Classics." In order to oppose the great cause of the Qing Dynasty, many people in our Huaxia Army have not tasted what it is like to be a woman until now, one is that our military regulations are strict, and the other is that they have no time to contact women. ”

"Ha, look at me, I'm so busy that I'm dizzy, this kind of humane and natural things have been forgotten, in this way, the soldiers are given two days off every week, but they have to take turns to ask for leave to go out, and the troops who are not in duty can release some long vacation places in a limited way, so that they can have a dozen or eight days to go home and reunite with their families, and have time to solve their lifelong affairs, and in special circumstances, you can take a month or even two or three months of vacation, but you need special approval here.

Soldiers cannot be allowed to ignore their own small families for the sake of great causes.

Our Huaxia Army is a big family, but the big family is composed of countless small families, if we ignore the reasonable requirements of the small family, then our big family is not far from disbanding, and no one will give us their lives. ”

"The Governor is wise." Wei Wuji is also the stupidest in these aspects, and he doesn't know what to say, so he can only say this.

"In addition, every soldier or officer who finds his own woman and is determined to get married, we can't ignore it, people are willing to do it at home, you can give more Huaxia Yuan, give more materials, when the time comes to need help, you can send them to the same army, Tongshi's brothers to help, the commander of the battalion also has to go with a salute, express it, let the soldiers feel warm in their hearts, think about our big family, feel the warmth of our big family, and solve any difficulties, If you can't solve it, go to the local civil officials to solve it, and you must not chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

"I think it's a blessing for the soldiers to meet a master like you." Wei Wuji continued to praise Zhang Qiang with a succinct sentence.

"Haha, we can't do it like the businessmen in Shanxi, it seems that they make money very beautifully, but they are harsh and stingy with their subordinates, and it is their duty to do more, and it is their filial piety to do more, which they should behave in, and the wages are set so low, try to deduct people, they can use the extra money to spend all day and wine, show off in front of friends, and do not entrap people.

Such businessmen will always be just tyrants, and they can't become businessmen who have a foundation and can contribute to the country. ”

"Grand Duke, I—" Wei Wuji paused.

Zhang Qiang woke up suddenly, looked back at Wei Wuji, and his head changed dramatically, "Your daughter wasn't given by a Shanxi businessman, right?" ”

Wei Wuji knelt down in front of Zhang Qiang, "The Governor, the villain was confused for a while, and accepted the gift from others, the villain thinks about it now, and suddenly feels that there is something in the adult's words, and feels that he has made a big mistake, the villain has given those Shanxi businessmen a lot of convenience, and the villain suddenly feels that these Shanxi businessmen are not the people sent by Hong Chengchou to spy on our intelligence." ”

"Shanxi businessmen have never had any country or nation, they have always been the lackeys of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they have always been mercenary, don't you understand? The strength of the Manchus, the strength of the Mongols, who fed it? I've told you about this before, it's a businessman from Shanxi, it's those Eastern Jews, why are you so confused? Welcome them in? ”

"My lord, the villain is wrong," Wei Wuji said in fear.

"Alas, forget it, it seems that you will only fight, these aspects are less vigilant, hand over those people to Zhang to review, you cooperate with them, Mi Lin's subordinate Zhang secretly established an intelligence collection department in Jinling, you immediately send someone to contact Zhang, originally Zhang was here to pick up Tian Bin who was lurking in Hong Chengchou's military camp, and now I have to wipe your ass, you will only manage the army in the future, so that in the future, I will send Zhang to your army, and let him assist you in managing intelligence analysis, as well as internal review, to prevent the enemy's detailed work from infiltrating in."

Looking at Wei Wuji, who was still kneeling in place, Zhang Qiang said in a low voice: "Get up, I'm not as mean as Shanxi businessmen treat people, you have followed me for so many years, you have been my right-hand man since I started, I can't punish you for this kind of mistake, but you also have to be vigilant, what you feel you can't do, just go find someone else, everyone is an old brother, you can't enjoy it, everyone drink cold water." ”

Wei Wuji stood up, his always shrewd man suddenly unable to understand Zhang Qiang's words.

Zhang Qiang patted him on the shoulder, "Go find that Shanxi businessman and get a few women to warm the quilt for the other brothers, you don't have a woman, and the other brothers, like Mi Lin, Zhou Congee, Tang Dianfeng and so on, don't have a brother yet." ”

The frost on Wei Wuji's face gradually dissolved, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked unexpectedly, "My lord, why don't I get one for you too?" ”

Zhang Qiang's face immediately turned cold, now that the great cause has not been accomplished, he really doesn't want to get involved with women, many people know these things, but Wei Wuji mentioned this in order to cover up his mistakes today, it was obviously unintentional.

Besides, he has always had a kind of insistence in his heart, hoping that a virtuous and attentive woman will appear in his life world, and he has always been disgusted with such things as finding a random one and venting the fire.

Wei Wuji smiled wryly, scratching his head, "Hehe, I understand this, the adults are still thinking about that Miss Zhu in their hearts, but the relationship between the two of you is so stiff, you are embarrassed to say, and the gentle and euphemistic maid Miss Xiancui." ”
