Chapter VII: Internal Worries

As soon as Qu Zhenhan said this, the eyes of the audience were focused on Liu Chang, who was holding a notebook.

Everyone knows that this not only recognizes Liu Chang's identity as the former inspector of the Heavenly Palace, but is even willing to give up the power of the Red Turban Army, in other words, in the words of the Wenzhou drum, that is, the king of the country side by side.

But Liu Chang knows very well his weight, this is the Red Turban Army, not the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army under the command of the party, Qu Zhenhan can take power back with a word: "Qu Shuai is too polite, Liu Chang is just an idler in the Heavenly King's Mansion, how can it be useful!" ”

Ni Tingmo became nervous all of a sudden, he was the number two person in the Red Turban Army, and Qu Zhenhan's status could not be moved, but Liu Chang was very likely to replace him as the deputy marshal, he stiffened his ears and waited for Liu Chang's reply.

Liu Chang has already thought about it clearly: "Qu Shuai, I came to eastern Zhejiang this time to participate in the grand event, not for fame or profit, I only brought a mouth, you can give a bowl of rice to eat!" My mouth is naturally worthy of you, although I can't talk about any strategic planning, and the decision is made thousands of miles away, but after years of fighting, I always know a little more about the reason. ”

He promised himself to be a military advisor, Jin Peiquan became nervous, but Qu Zhenhan didn't expect Liu Chang not to have a specific position: "How can this work!" You are an envoy sent by the Heavenly King, and you should command the soldiers of the three battalions of the Rainbow Army! ”

What he said was by no means sincere, so Liu Chang held his hand: "By all means, when I first came to your land, I didn't know anything about the situation of the righteous teacher, and I could only serve as a pawn in front of the battle, and I must not take on any heavy responsibilities!" ”

Qu Zhenhan took advantage of his topic to make a conclusion: "Okay! Good! Good! Liu checks the high wind and bright festival, Zhenhan admires it very much, from now on, you are my Liu Bowen! ”

Liu Bowen is a native of Qingtian, Chuzhou, and he is also half of Wenzhou, so he has a great prestige among the people of Wenzhou, and his prestige is even better than that of Zhang Zifang and Zhuge Liang. ”

He said generously: "Isn't there a lack of personal soldiers, sir?" Okay, Tingmo, transfer a sentry to Liu Checkpoint to act as a guard, and pick out our best sentry elite soldiers. ”

The Red Turban Army now has three battalions of soldiers, each battalion has 500 people, and there are five posts, one post is 100 people, Qu Zhenhan gave a hundred soldiers to Liu Chang as a personal guard.

And Ni Tingmo immediately responded: "Zhenhai, don't worry!" I picked out the best juniors in our family. ”

It's just that he also knew that Qu Zhenhan played a scheming, although he included Liu Chang, an outsider, in the group of the Red Turban Army, but he didn't give him a formal position and name, and the hundred soldiers were still in the hands of him and Qu Zhenhan, and when the time came, as long as he gave an order, he could immediately tie up Liu Chang.

However, Liu Chang is full of confidence, this hundred soldiers will definitely not fly away when they reach his hands, and he is concerned about another thing: "Qu Shuai, can the miracle shown by my token raise a few months' food for my Red Turban Army?" ”

"No problem! No problem! Qu Zhenhan's face was still excited: "It's really a god, not to mention a few months' salary, even tens of thousands of taels of silver can be raised, what kind of artifact is this?" ”

Liu Chang hugged the laptop tightly, but didn't say the origin: "Then what are you waiting for, why don't you quickly call the elders of Lecheng Township!" ”

Qu Zhenhan only felt full of confidence, and his blood was churning: "Very good!" Very good! ”

Next to him, Jin Peiquan added: "Qu Shuai, take this opportunity to make all the shops in the city open for business." ”

……

In the barracks in the west of the city, it was already a light color, and now the green flag on the barracks has been torn off, replaced with a yellow flag most commonly used in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and a battalion of soldiers and horses of the Red Turban Army has been stationed in the barracks.

In the past, the majestic green battalion soldiers lost their usual arrogance, they cautiously looked at these high-spirited red turban soldiers, and from time to time put on a close, and then said: "In the future, we will all be our own people, and we will all work for Generalissimo Qu!" ”

It's just that there is always a flicker between the words and expressions, especially those officers, although they stayed in their original positions and did not dare to act publicly, but the private tandem was wave after wave.

"Mu monkey and crown, Mu monkey and crown!"

It was Liu Chang's old acquaintance who said this, the bearded general who was beaten by his outburst, he lowered his voice and said to a few familiar officers: "Generalissimo Qu? Do you think I don't know the details of his Qu Zhenhan! It's Hongqiao who sells bean curd, and now he eats leopard gall, and what nonsense is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses! Phew, in the past, Lao Tzu went to Hongqiao, and he specially went out of the town to meet Lao Tzu. ”

His face was red and blue, and the scars of being beaten by Liu Chang did not dissipate at all, but his arrogant expression did not change at all, and a foreign commissioner next to him lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Sun, you are quiet, we are now under the roof, we have to bow our heads, don't let these words reach the ears of those bandits!" ”

A small officer next to him also added: "Yes! Vice General Yao was caught off guard and was killed by a thief, and we are now temporarily a thief, and we are also forced by the situation. ”

Sun Jiang was always in pain, and couldn't help scolding: ", that really long hair is too ruthless, Lao Tzu almost can't get up, and when he finds an opportunity, he will definitely stab him in the back, Brother Xu, what do you think?" ”

Xu Qian is finally a very important one among the officers of the Green Battalion: "I'm afraid of a bird, just a bunch of mud legs!" Who are we, the Green Battalion soldiers, the division of the national economic system, although we are a little struggling at the moment, we can eat the imperial food! ”

The bearded descendants took over the conversation: "That's right, our green battalion soldiers have worked hard for the Qing Dynasty for generations, it has been a full two hundred years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, how can it be ridden by this group of mud legs, this time is a good opportunity, as long as we seize the opportunity, everyone has the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune!" ”

Xu Qian always cheered everyone up: "Don't look at the mud legs into the city, don't talk about Wenzhou, that is, Yueqing is still our Qing Dynasty's territory, I asked, Dajing and Panshi two battalions are as stable as Mount Tai, when the time comes, Lord Qing Lianqing from Fucheng and Ruian to transfer troops across the river, Taiping and Yuhuan water and land together, what can this thousand mud legs do!" ”

There is no need to doubt the loyalty of the green battalion soldiers to the Qing court, and Xu Jiang immediately made a wish to everyone to be crowned officials: "Everyone pay attention, as long as I arrive in the Qing Dynasty, I will immediately raise my righteousness in front of the battle, and then you will be indispensable to a thousand generals and capital divisions, and I and Lao Sun will not be a deputy general and guerrilla." ”

These extremely slippery officers of the Green Battalion nodded one after another: "Mr. Sun, Mr. Xu Qian, I have a high opinion!" As soon as the Qing soldiers arrived, we immediately took the front of the battle and killed this group of mud legs by surprise. ”

Mr. Sun patted his chest and assured everyone: "Everyone knows in their hearts, I will go back and see Qu Zhenhai's mud legs, no!" is the generalissimo of the world's land and water soldiers and horses, I think this kid is the material to cut off children and grandchildren. ”

As he was talking, there was already a quick knock on the door, and then someone shouted: "Mr. Sun, Qu Shuai is waiting for you in Niangniang Temple!" ”

Sun Jiang always endured the pain, and he didn't want to be helped, so he forcibly got up: "I know, I know, I'll go over!" ”

"How's the injury going? That Liu Jian shot is a little heavier, don't mind Mr. Sun, everyone will eat in a pot in the future! ”

The one who led the way was a sentry chief who was played around by this group of old fritters, in his early twenties, without much experience, but he was only the sentry chief in the same sect as Qu Zhenhan, but as soon as he entered the barracks, these veterans poured out the medicine like no money, and asked Qu Jie to introduce Sun Jiangzong to their life confidants, and they hated to see each other late.

"I know, I know!" General Sun was full of beards, but his mind was very meticulous: "At that time, everyone was their own master, but now everyone is working hard for Generalissimo Qu, a family, and don't mention old grievances!" ”

Saying that, Mr. Sun had already put his arm on Qu Jie's shoulder and asked, "By the way, Chief Qu Whistle, is there anything good?" Do you want my brother to introduce you to a few, these beautiful girls inside and outside Yueqing City......"

Qu Jie couldn't help but feel bright, he had never been so flattered: "Military affairs are urgent, it's still unnecessary!" Brother Sun has a treat? No, no, let Uncle Zhenhai know that you have to pump me, okay, let's go over and see, don't come to the real thing! ”

Sun Jiang was always concerned about what tricks Qu Zhenhan wanted to play in the Niangniang Temple, and immediately took Qu Jie's hand and asked, "By the way, Qu Whistle Chief, why did Qu Shuai summon us to the Niangniang Temple, that place is a little smaller, right?" ”

Qu Jie couldn't play with Mr. Sun as an old oilman, and after a while, he already took out the words in his heart: "It's not me Uncle Zhenhai, it's Liu Jian who asks everyone to come over." ”

"The Willow Checkpoint?"

Qu Jie immediately smiled: "It's the real long hair that beat you to the ground and couldn't get up, it is said that it is a big man from Tianjing, what is it called the thirty-seven checkpoints in front of the palace, or thirty-eight, anyway, it's a big man......"

"How can this work!" Mr. Sun was already indignant and wanted justice: "It's just an outsider, how can you gather everyone over on behalf of Marshal Qu!" Chief Qu, you have to pay attention, this is the country that your Qu family has brought down, and it can't fall into the hands of others. ”

Qu Jie nodded, and agreed with Mr. Sun's bearded opinion: "Well said, is it his turn to be a Guangxi guy?" I am from the same clan as Marshal Qu, and I was actually sent to be a personal soldier captain under this kid, which is really unpleasant! ”

As he was talking, the Niangniang Temple had arrived, and several personal soldiers were guarding the door, and they were already shouting loudly: "Qu Jie, why did you come, Liu Jian and your uncle have been waiting for a long time!" ”

Qu Jie was unhappy: "What Liu checkpoint?" ”

These soldiers usually have a very good relationship with Qu Jie, but now they said solemnly: "It's Liu Changliu checkpoint, the thirty-six checkpoint in front of the Heavenly King Palace, and your uncle respects him Liu Bowen went down to earth." ”

"Liu Bowen? Liu checkpoint? Mr. Sun had already shouted: "So who is the boss between Liu Checkpoint and Qu Dashuai?" ”
