Guo Xing'a led his troops out of the city the next day, so he wouldn't have gone to the door to apologize, and if it weren't for the fact that Saishan'a pointed out the relationship between the flag-bearers in his ear, he would have been reluctant to give Tomina silver. There are more or less relatives between the banner people, and it is a small matter for Guo Xing'a to kill a Tomin'a, but a Tomin'a may involve many people. Guo Xing'a, who didn't want to make enemies on all sides, could only let Tomin a horse and give Tomin a good step.

The banner people on the Shandong Road are also hard, and when Guoxing's cheap father Hui Yang sent troops, there were already flag men starving to death on the Shandong Road. Tomina is also a poor and treacherous plan, although what he does is a little unconscionable, but he is also seeking rations for the banner people under his rule. Guo Xing'a now has money in his hands, so he is naturally generous, and two thousand taels of silver are not only a step for Tomin'a, but also a relief fund for the Texas bannerman.

The money is spent and it has to be earned, and Guoxing Ake is very picky, so Guoxing A's department is very hard to clean up the remnants of the bandits. These bandits have some gold and silver on them, and if they catch him a hundred or so times, they can earn back two thousand taels. Moreover, they had been frightened by Guo Xing'a, and when they saw the Qing army with the blue dragon flag, they turned around and ran away, and they didn't have the courage to fight back at all. After being caught up, he immediately knelt down and surrendered, and Guoxing's department saved a lot of effort to make money.

However, these bandits are extremely scattered, and although it is easy to catch them, it is not easy to find them. Although the Qing army did not do the level of searching mountains and seas, it also had to search village by village and town, but there was money to be made, and naturally everyone did not feel hard. Especially after entering the village, even the platoon is scattered, and those who are quick with their hands and feet can have some extra money, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers is of course higher. After searching for five days in a row, the remnants of the large number of twisted troops in Texas were all wiped out, and the rest were small fish and shrimp. The troops of the Qing army were also spread even more, and the original battalion unit was also changed to a company unit. Just to prevent accidents, the distance between the departments should not exceed five miles, so as to ensure that they can respond to accidents at any time.

More than a dozen remnants of bandits ran into a small mountain village, and Cao Meng's fourth company followed closely behind to surround the village, and after waiting for half an hour for the villagers to leave the village, Cao Meng led people to start searching the village. This is a new technique studied by the Qing army, only half an hour, the people in the village can only bring some soft out, and some will leave some belongings at home. These belongings were naturally seized by the Qing army, and even if the villagers returned to the village and lost their things, they were done by bandits and had nothing to do with the official army. This trick has been tried and tested, and every time it has made the soldiers gain a lot. Of course, there will be some misers in some villages, who stay in the village and guard their belongings, and without exception, these people will die under the knife of the twisted bandits.

Cao Meng and Li Zhi all had a share of the profits, so they didn't have to do it themselves, but this time they personally brought people into the village. The army pursued the Twist Army for a few days, and they ate dry food for a few days, and the birds had already faded out of their mouths, and they were going to go into the village to find a few fat chickens and ducks to pay tribute to their five internal organs. But this village is really poor, and the two of them didn't see anything delicious when they went around. I found a fat pig, but if this thing is made, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and the name of the old man of Guoxing A Qingtian still has to be maintained, of course, the people can't let the people see the officials and soldiers secretly killing their own pigs to eat.

"I can't even find a chicken, what a fucking shit!" Li Zhi kicked the stones on the road as he walked, he was now the company commander, and he was no longer the hungry man who begged for a mouthful of leftover bones for his dying brother.

"How is Neko in the second battalion?" Cao Meng's mentality is much better than Li Zhi's, just look for it slowly, he is not in a hurry. There was nothing to do on the road, so he casually asked Li Gen, who was transferred to the second battalion.

"I became a platoon commander, but the people under my hands are not angry, and I don't know when I can train it, and I want to be a company commander!" Li Zhi said that he was not satisfied, but his face was full of smiles.

"He's young, take your time, what's the hurry!" Cao Meng has always cared about his identity, so he is cautious everywhere, but after a long time, he has a mentality that is far superior to others, and he does not fight for everything.

"Aren't you in a hurry? Are the company commanders and instructors of the 7th and 8th companies empty? Li Zhi has a lot more motivation than Cao Meng.

"The instructor must have been discharged from the guards!" In the recently expanded team, the instructors are all from the guard platoon, and Cao Meng feels that the Seventh Company and the Eighth Company will be no exception this time.

"That is, it has to be the people of the guard platoon who have high consciousness, so naturally it is best for them to be instructors! But this company commander is still empty! Li Zhi has been thinking that his younger brother can get another position as a company commander.

"Tuha of the second company is going to occupy a position, and the adults specially arranged for him to go to the teaching team a few days ago, and this is what the eight achievements mean!" Cao Meng does not fight or grab, but his popularity is good, and he is also very well-informed.

"Tuha is the old platoon leader, Chengtai and our old platoon commander turned out to be soldiers under him, and they should have come up a long time ago." Li Zhi also learned the news of Tuha's imminent promotion.

"There is only one position left, and there are a lot of old qualifications!" Cao Meng felt that Li Gen's qualifications and military exploits were too poor, and the company commander was eighty percent useless.

"I inquired, Tuha is the seventh company, and the eighth company wants to use Han people!" Li Zhi really worked hard.

"Ahh There are so many old qualifications for flag people, and adults want to use Han people? Cao Meng was taken aback, he really hadn't heard of this news.

"Well, that's right, the news of the old guard squad can't be wrong! The teaching team that Genzi went to before going to the second battalion was seriously trained by adults, and there were not many Han people who could compete with him! Li Zhi's routine is very deep, and even the people in the old guard squad of Guoxing's guard class can find out the news.

"No wonder you have to let the root teach the team." Cao Meng laughed and didn't say much.

"Brother Cao, we are our own people, I can still hide it from you, but I didn't expect the roots to come out to get a platoon commander, why didn't you give a company commander directly!" Li Zhi tried his best for his younger brother.

"The roots are still too young, don't rush!" Cao Meng felt that it was not a good thing for Li Gen to become an official too early, although he had also fought big battles, but he still had too little experience.

"Not a lot of space! Don't worry! Li Zhi didn't find the chickens and ducks, and his mood became worse and worse.

"Don't think about it, let's eat it! Let's wait for next time! Suddenly, a voice behind him remembered, startling both of them. hurriedly turned around to take a look, but it was Wu Xiuming standing behind the two with two fat chickens smiling, no wonder the soldiers around him didn't make a sound.

"Xiao Xiucai, why are you here?" Cao Meng said with a smile.

"We ate the chicken, don't say such unlucky words, there is still hope for our roots!" Li Zhi also laughed, but he was not happy that Wu Xiuming said that Li Gen could not be the company commander this time.

"I have something delicious to forget about you, I came here on purpose! I still have a letter here, the commander of the eighth company has someone! Wu Xiuming's words in the second half were a little low.

"Who! Didn't you say that the Han people were used? Looking at Wu Xiuming's expression, Li Zhi knew that it was not his younger brother.

"It's Han Chinese! Tian Kuan of the artillery company, there is no left-handed one! "Wu Xiuming listened to Guo Xing's own mouth, and the news was much more accurate than Li Zhi's inquiry.

"Him! Ah! He's got his hands hurt! Li Zhi suddenly withered.

"Don't say that! The right hand is still good, it is no problem to command the war, and the pistol is also good! And even without him, there is also Bian Changdi of the artillery company! At most, the root can be ranked third. Wu Xiuming hit Li Zhi further, everyone is ripe, and it doesn't matter what he says.

"Forget about them!" Li Zhi has always thought about the infantry, and has never thought about the cavalry or artillery people.

"Come on, come on, I have a brother who makes chicken, let's eat a bite first! My lord said, I will expand it when I return to Gu'an! The company commander of the root can't fly! Wu Xiuming pulled the two of them and left.

"The ninth company commander is still the tenth company commander!" Li Zhi pondered again.

A few people found a fairly neat courtyard, got some water to drink first, and the soldiers began to kill chickens and clean up their work.

"Make a chop*! The kind I had last time I was invited to eat by adults, it was so delicious! Cao Meng began to order.

"Big grasshopper, I'll make a swallow's wing mat! If you have a bad mouth, you lack salt and oil, make a chicken and you can make do with it! I've only been eating for a few days! Wu Xiuming laughed and scolded.

"Oops! We're old now! Thinking about the old days, I really can't fucking live a day anymore! Cao Meng smiled and didn't speak, but Li Zhi sighed.

A few people laughed a few words, and the soldiers also packed up the chickens, and after making the wine and oil, they wrapped them in lotus leaf mud and buried them in the fire for barbecue. When the fire was withdrawn and the mud outside was broken, the soldiers delivered the tender chicken wrapped in lotus leaves to the three commanders.

"Don't be a vegetarian either!" Cao Meng took one and handed it to the soldiers.

"Thank you, company commander!" A few soldiers thanked them and ran to the side with the fragrant chickens.

The three of them were just about to start eating chicken, when Cao Meng suddenly noticed that a straw in the yard moved.

"Who, come out for Lao Tzu!" Cao Meng took out a pistol and shot it at the straw.

"Come out, come out! If you don't come out, shoot! Several soldiers also hurriedly put down the chicken, grabbed their rifles and surrounded them.

Under the straw turned out to be a cellar, and several people were joking, and they were cooking chickens, but they didn't search carefully at all, and they didn't find it. However, when the fire was burning, the soldiers grabbed a few handfuls of straw, and the straw at the mouth of the cellar was much thinner, and the people inside wanted to probe to check it, and immediately showed their tracks.

The people inside were really not the people left, they had seen the power of the rifle, shouted "don't shoot" and lifted the lid of the cellar and threw out weapons such as blades. Then seven or eight strong men crawled out one by one. Cao Meng saw that he had arrested the Twist Army, and he wanted to let people search for his belongings, so he escorted several people out, but when he saw the face of one of them, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

"He Dale?" Wu Xiuming also recognized his former friend at a glance.

"Xiao Langzhong, big grasshopper, ...... are you" He Huan recognized Wu Xiuming and Cao Meng at a glance, but he couldn't call out when he looked at Li Zhi. He felt that he knew Li Zhi, but this person's appearance had changed too much, and he couldn't eat it for sure. When Li Zhi was in the bandits, he was a thin black man with no appearance, but now his complexion is whiter and he is much stronger.

"Holy shit!" Li Zhi gave He Huan a word, he hated He Huan a little, but this person could be regarded as having saved him, and he was still the brother of Wu Xiuming and Cao Meng, so he couldn't say anything.

"Yes, yes!" He Huan also remembered.

"It's also you outside Yixian County! I met a person who was very familiar! Cao Meng recalled the leader of the Twist Army who fled outside the city of Yixian.

"It's me! I didn't expect you all to become officers and soldiers! He Huan recognized it very simply.

"Don't talk about those useless ones, He Dale will be an official with us! Several of us are officials, the kind with tops, we are all seven grades! Come on, too! Wu Xiuming smiled very happily.

"Be an officer!" A sneer appeared on He Huan's face.

"What's wrong!" Cao Meng had a tone of finding fault and fighting.

"I'm a prisoner, can I live?" He Huan asked.

"Of course! What are you afraid of with us? Wu Xiuming didn't notice He Huan's expression.

"There is a little doll and a big official, and he said that he would kill us all!" He Huan heard Guo Xing'a's order to kill all on the battlefield.

"That's us, didn't we think Hatan was dead! It's okay now, Captain Hatan is fine, and the adults don't kill anymore. Wu Xiuming still looked elated.

"If you don't die, you have to do hard labor!" He Huan is still yin and yang.

"We're all company commanders and instructors, and we can't protect you yet. You can be a soldier as soon as you come, and you can be an official in the future! Wu Xiuming looked at He Huan sincerely.

"You can be a soldier! If someone else recruits security, they will do it directly for the official! He Huan's mouth pursed.

"We can't do this, at most we can be soldiers, but we can slowly rise! That is, a year and a half, as long as there is military merit, it will definitely be promoted! Li Xiucheng's deputy general threw it over, and he gave him a six-product Qianzong, and our threshold is a little higher! Wu Xiuming smiled a little embarrassed.

"I'm a leader too, I'm not a soldier!" He Huan shook his head firmly.

"He Dale ......" Wu Xiuming wanted to persuade a few more words, but Cao Meng interrupted him with a vicious voice.

"You thief, what do you want?" Cao Meng stared at He Huan viciously.

"You're right, I want to be a thief! You have to remember the love of the past and give me a way to live! He Huan didn't care about Cao Meng's eyes.

"Let's go!" Wu Xiuming wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cao Meng's outstretched hand.

"Brothers, go!" He Huan walked outside the hospital.

"You're the only one to go!" Cao Meng motioned for the soldiers to stop He Huan's men.

"Humph!" He Huan was speechless and continued to walk outside.

"Do you have any silver?" Cao Meng asked behind his back.

"It's gone!" He Huan stopped.

"It's all my people outside, you can't get out, I'll send you away!" Cao Meng wrapped Li Zhi, Wu Xiuming and his own personal silver in a package, stuffed it into He Huan's hand with the chicken that didn't move, and then personally sent He Huan out of the village.

"Go all the way!" Wu Xiuming was a little reluctant, but Cao Meng didn't let him speak, and Li Zhi didn't speak, only Cao Meng said four words coldly.

He Huan didn't say a word, walked away without looking back, walked straight out of the three-five mile road, and then looked back at the direction of the mountain village and said softly: "Thank you, brother!" ”。

"I'm going to ask the adults for their guilt, this matter has nothing to do with you two!" Cao Meng threw down a sentence, and without waiting for Li Zhi and Wu Xiuming to react, he rode alone to the Chinese army in Guoxinga.
