After Hatan regained his heartbeat and breathing, he was still in a coma for three days, and Wu Xiuming took care of him for a few days before he finally woke up slowly. The second battalion also had many wounded, and Goxinga stayed in Texas to rest and recuperate. Zhao Xin and Tuo Ming'a didn't show up much, and Guo Xing'a didn't feel anything, after all, he was just a passing guest, and everyone just got by at once. Everyone has their own things, where is there so much spare time to grind their teeth with themselves.

After resting for five days in a row, Hatan and a group of wounded people were able to march by car, and Guo Xing'a took the generals to the door to bid farewell to Zhao Xin. Hearing that Guo Xing'a was leaving, Zhao Xin's performance made Guo Xing'a wonder if he was a ghost, so he sat on the chair without saying a word, his face was pale and he was trembling.

"Zhao Futai, but I'm not feeling well! Do you want to call a doctor? Guo Xing'a said politely, he wouldn't do his business anyway. If Zhao Xin is sick, he should hurry to the doctor to see a doctor, he should go back to Gu'an to return to his Gu'an.

"Yun Shuai is leaving?" Zhao Xin's voice was full of bitterness, Guo Xing's behavior is that Mazi doesn't call Mazi a pit person!

"Zhao Futai, my Ministry of Troops has returned to the garrison, and I have been begging for mercy from Zhao Futai for many days, this is specially to say goodbye, thank you Zhao Futai for your hospitality for many days!" Guo Xing'a didn't care about Zhao Xin's feelings at all.

"Zhao Futai is unwell, so let's rest more! I'm leaving! "Guo Xing'a is not interested in discussing Zhao Xin's condition, he just wants to go back to rearm and fight as soon as possible to meet the British and French forces.

"Yun Shuai can't go!" As soon as Guo Xing'a turned around, Zhao Xin threw himself down from the chair and cried while holding Guo Xing'a's thigh.

"Zhao Futai get up quickly, it's cold on the ground!" Guo Xing's brain is mushy, he and Zhao Xin don't have any friendship, Zhao Xin is so reluctant to do so!

"Yun Shuai can't go! If you leave, what will you do? "Zhao Xin is really exhausted.

"What is the reason for Zhao Futai?" Goxinga still hasn't figured it out.

"Yun Shuai is gone, what can I do with this bandit?" Zhao Xin pulled Guo Xing'a to death, for fear that he would run away.

"Bandits? Haven't you been defeated by me? Guo Xing'a was very sure that he definitely did not receive the military report that Texas was attacked by the Twist Army again.

"Alas......" mentioned that Zhao Xin was a sad tear, five days ago, Guo Xing'a did defeat the Twist Army outside the city of Dezhou, but now there are eight counties in the city of Dezhou, except for the city of Dezhou, there are twist troops everywhere. This is also the disaster caused by Guoxing'a, he annihilated the center of the Twist Army in a battle, and killed the main general of the Twist Army, but most of the Twist Army fled. Now this gang of twisters is divided into countless units and wreaks havoc throughout Texas, with three or five thousand people in the large group and seven or eight hundred people in the small group. The defenders in various places are in disarray, and they are powerless to resist at all, and the army is burning and looting everywhere, and Dezhou, known as the gateway to Shenjing, is already full of wolf smoke. What's even worse is that there are several twisted armies that have come and fled out of the territory of Texas, and the surrounding Liaocheng, Hengshui, and Jinan all have alarm signals. Several friendly neighbors also have documents to send for accountability, and they keep saying that whoever causes trouble will clean up, if Zhao Xin can't properly deal with the twisted army, they will have to write together, and participate in Zhao Xin's arson to the enemy, beggar-thy-neighbor.

Zhao Xin himself did not think of a way, on the one hand, he played the military situation, on the other hand, he apologized to all the neighbors, and then urged the Texas defenders to quickly advance and suppress. The Texas defenders have seen with their own eyes how vulnerable the Twist Army is in front of Guoxinga, and they all regard the Twist Army as fat, and even Tuo Ming'a jumped out to take the Eight Banners to grab the merit. Zhao Xin also felt that the Twist Army was more numerous, but the actual combat power was not enough, and Zhao Futai was still very confident in this kind of fight against the water dogs. He hasn't shown up in front of Guo Xing'a these days, he is secretly commanding the Texas defenders to suppress bandits, and he is afraid that Guo Xing'a will come out to rob him if he knows about it.

But sometimes, if you don't fight, you don't know, a dozen is really wonderful. The people sent out by Zhao Xin, the better thing is that the lost soldiers will come back with a disgraced face, and the bad ones will not come back at all, before Guoxing Ah came to resign, Zhao Futai was immersed in the strong contrast between dreams and reality and couldn't extricate himself. Zhao Futai regretted it very much, why did he stop Tuo Ming'a with the excuse that he couldn't leave the garrison without permission to garrison the Eight Banners, if Tuo Ming'a was also beaten and annihilated, he wouldn't have to be so difficult now. Suddenly saw Guo Xing'a, Zhao Futai suddenly found a savior, although none of his people in Texas could fight, but there was no one in front of him who could fight! But Guoxing'a didn't come to save the suffering, people came to worship, and Zhao Futai collapsed all of a sudden.

Zhao Futai now actually hopes that Guo Xing'a has not come, so that even if there are 30,000 twisted troops outside the city, he can still call for help, but now that Guoxing'a has broken up the twisted army, he has no reason to even complain to the imperial court. Dezhou was besieged by 30,000 troops, and it was his Zhao Futai to hold the city because of his credit, and a large number of bandits appeared in many places in Dezhou, which was his Zhao Futai's sin. He, Zhao Xin, did not dare to report two or three thousand people into the army, if the imperial court thought that he could not even defeat two or three thousand remnants of the army, the trouble for the Zhao prefect would be even greater.

"Now that the twisting bandits are raging in all counties of Texas, Wan Wangyun Shuai is saving the father and elder of the Texas Mansion!" Zhao Xin is now the only savior left in Guoxing'a.

"Zhao Futai, it's not that I don't help! Our department was ordered to return to the defense, passing through Texas, if it is a twist army to attack Texas, I will help you solve it. However, if we go to another place to suppress bandits, our department will be charged with disobeying military orders! Even if we make a quick decision, how can this salary be solved, the military department will not give me the food and salary to suppress the bandits in Shandong. "Although the Twist Army killed more than 300 people in the second battalion, but Hatan was fine, and Guoxinga killed more than 2,000 Twist troops and captured tens of thousands of mules and horses, and this account was settled. Without grudges, Guoxing's is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and the twisting army can't grab anything except livestock, and Guoxing's is not in the mood to meddle in things.

"Yun Shuai's move is really loyal to the country, and the court will definitely not blame it, as for the food and salary, I don't know how much Yun Shuai needs, and the lower officials will work hard to raise it!" Guo Xing'a had almost made it clear that he wanted money, and Zhao Xin, who had been rolling around in the officialdom for a few times, didn't understand, and asked directly about the price.

"Grain and grass are easy to say, our department has its own grain and grass with the army, and I don't bother with the people of Futai for a while. It is the need to work for adults in terms of money and supplies. The clanging of the poor army is twisted, and the capture of our army is too scarce, but the soldiers cannot fight without rewards and pensions, and this can be determined according to the results of the battle. However, the supply aspect is indispensable, our department uses more firearms in the battle, the gunpowder cannon costs a lot, and the damage to the guns also requires a lot of copper and steel repairs, and the people of the government need to allocate some silver taels in this regard. "Goxinga has said all aspects, but he has not said a specific number for each item.

"Well said, well said!" Zhao Xin agreed, but he scolded in his heart, Guo Xing'a was too dark. Zhao Xin, the hundreds of carts of baggage that Guoxing A accompanied the army, can be regarded as straw inside, and Zhao Xin, who has captured tens of thousands of mules and horses, can also be regarded as blind, but the day before yesterday, Guoxing A sent someone to Shanxi to deposit more than 10,000 taels of silver in the ticket number, and at this time he was embarrassed to say that he lacked everything. But the situation is stronger than people! Where does Zhao Xin dare not agree now, he can only deal with it first. The reward was five times that of the green battalion soldiers, and he was given ten taels for one person, and 3,000 people in the Guoxing Asuo department was 30,000 taels. The so-called material supply, Zhao Xin had nowhere to get him, and Guo Xing'a explained that if he did not collect grain and grass, Zhao Xin could only discount 20,000 taels.

"Yun Shuai, can you think 50,000 taels?" Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and asked.

"There's Lord Laofutai!" Guo Xinga is not greedy, and accepts it when he sees it.

"Yun Shuai, for the time being, I will discuss with the gentry in the city to raise money, and I will provide military funds tomorrow. On the day of Yun Shuai's triumph, the Texas father will definitely have a considerable heart! "Zhao Xin can't give this money alone, and the Texas gentry want to keep their land and family business, but they can't run away.

"It's good to say, 100,000 taels, half of the deposit, half of the final payment! Get it done and get paid! "Guo Xing'a has a pair of buying and selling.

"Ugh! …… Good, good! Zhao Xin didn't expect Guo Xing'a to make it clear directly, and he almost choked to death.

Guo Xing'a has money to make and will not leave immediately, if he wants to fight the British and French alliances, he will have to improve his equipment, and there are many places to burn money. Now that I have returned to Gu'an, I don't necessarily know how many soldiers and horses I can recruit, so it is better to make more money. Although Guo Xing'a even arranged for the person to go to Shanxi to deposit money, he failed to get Zhao Xin's deposit the next day, and it was not Zhao Xin who broke the contract, but Shandong Governor Wen Yu came. Dezhou is also an important town in Shandong, and there was such a big mess, of course Wen Yu killed it in a hurry. The governor arrived, and this matter of spending money to hire people to suppress bandits could only be suppressed.

As soon as Wen Yu entered the city, he found that there was still a group of people in the city, and after asking about the origin, he was even more overjoyed. Although it is not as good as the early Qing Dynasty, the original relationship between the Eight Banners still has a little effect, Wen Yu is from the Manchurian Blue Banner, and Guo Xing'a is from the Manchurian Blue Banner, and the two belong to the two Blue Banners naturally closer. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the two blue flags have always been raised by the stepmother, and the owners of the flags are not the descendants of Nurhachi, so this treatment is naturally conceivable. Although Hauge has also held two blue flags, it is better not to have such a decrepit ghost. Even the common people are rumored that one of the two blue flags is the first from the bottom and the other is the second from the bottom among the eight flags. Therefore, the relationship between the two blue flags is heavier, unlike the other flags that are a little blurred.

Wen Yu himself also brought two battalions of green battalion soldiers over, but these bastards robbed the common people one by one, and they couldn't be relied on at all to fight. After discovering that there was such a little brother with a blue flag as Guo Xing'a, Wen Yu immediately pounced.

"Brother, you send troops!"

"Okay! Give money, I negotiated with Zhao Xin about the price! ”

"It's all two blue flags, and it hurts my feelings to raise money!"

"No money, no work!"

"Little rabbit cub, Lao Tzu is the governor of Shandong, Lao Tzu ordered you to send troops!"

"Old bastard, Lao Tzu is passing by, it's not your business, if you don't give money, Lao Tzu will leave immediately!"

The cordial and friendly conversation between Wen Yu and Guo Xing'a was probably like this, but Guo Xing'a really didn't leave, because Zhao Xin secretly gave him 10,000 taels to buy him to stay for a few more days. After parting with Guoxing'a, Wen Yu sent troops with the Green Battalion and Tomin'a's garrison Eight Banners, and returned three days later. After eating the sand for two days and drinking the spring breeze for two days, Wen Yu didn't catch a shadow of the twisting army, so he could only go back to Texas to rest and recuperate, and then fell into an ambush on the way back. The two battalions of green battalion soldiers ran half of the battle at the beginning, and Wen Yu easily fished out Tomina, and then returned to Texas together in disgrace.

After Wen Yu came back, he reflected on the first half of his life, starting from Xianfeng's transfer to Jiangning as the political envoy in the third year, he could be regarded as a long time in the army, but except for a little setback of the thief's situation, he never seemed to have any results. Defeated again and again, it seems that his resume has always been sticking to a certain place, or surrendering a certain place. After thinking about this, Wen Yu talked to Guo Xing'a again.

"Brother, a fixed price, 100,000 taels, you send troops!"

"Good!"

"Hmmm! Wait for you to come back and collect the money! ”

"Come less, pay half first!"

"They are all from the two blue flags, I can still lie to you!"

"My brother settles the account and pays half of it first!"

"It's all two blue flags, don't give 30,000 first!"

"If I do this again, I'll raise the price!"

"Done! I'll give you 50,000 tonight, and you will send troops tomorrow morning! ”

"Deal!"

Guo Xing'a handed over the 50,000 taels of silver tickets with the Shanxi ticket number to Saishan'a for safekeeping, and happily took his subordinates out of the city to suppress the bandits.

"It's still a peaceful place! We just robbed Chizhou Mansion, and it didn't compare much! Guo Xinga sighed.
