Daniel Zhang and their faces were red for a reason. The so-called "no one is wrong", if a mistake is made, it should be beaten and killed, and after the punishment is completed, the matter will pass. But Guan Zhuofan's words clearly mean that you are not worthy of being a soldier here, and you are not even qualified to be punished - not only contempt, but simply insulting. Being consulted back to the original yamen in this way is tantamount to losing face, and it will be difficult to raise your head for the rest of your life.

"What's the matter? All dumb? Guan Zhuofan said expressionlessly, "Isn't such a good thing fulfilling your wishes?" ”

"If you return to Mr. Qian, mark it unwillingly!" In the silence, the first to hold back was Ixan.

"Oh?" Guan Zhuofan pretended to be surprised and looked at Daniel Zhang and Lao Mu, "What do you say?" ”

"I don't want to!" Now that Ixan had already opened his mouth, Daniel Zhang and Lao Mu also said it in unison.

"Good!" Guan Zhuofan knew that his words had already taken effect, and said in a deep voice, "You don't want to, it means that you still have ambition, you still know how to be ashamed, and you are willing to follow me Guan Sangan!" If you have such a heart, then I will fulfill you. Come on—"

"In!" The soldiers screamed.

"Daniel Zhang was good at going out of the defense area, fighting with people for trivial reasons, and remembering ten military sticks. As a chief, the crime is increased by one degree, and the fight is twenty! ”

"Huh!"

"Mu Ning made a big noise in the camp, disturbed the morale of the army, and should be beheaded according to the military law - Gu Nian is a first offender, and he will be beaten twenty!"

"Huh!"

"Ixan...... Hit the Ten Army Sticks! Since you brag about your kung fu, give me a stronger tie so that he doesn't know the pain. ”

"Huh!"

"The other three, even if the commander has an order, have to obey, this time I will exempt your military stick and fine you for two months - next time, it will not be so polite!"

Daniel Zhang and the three of them knew that since they said "unwillingly," it was a matter of course that they would be dealt with by military law. At this time, seeing that Guan Zhuofan gave an order, he had nothing to say, lying on the ground, and the personal soldiers who held the sticks beat him one by one. The teeth must be clenched tightly, otherwise it will be a shame to scream out.

After a while, fifty military sticks were enough, and the personal soldier with the stick came to give orders.

"Okay, help them up." Guan Zhuofan was very satisfied with their toughness, and said slowly, "If you have been punished, you will be rewarded." ”

Reward? The soldiers who had just finished watching this meal of military sticks were struggling to warp their tongues, and suddenly they were puzzled when they heard Guan Zhuofan say this. Even Daniel Zhang, who was beaten to the point of being cut open and had just been helped up by his own soldiers, was puzzled: What merit did he have?

"How can you say that you have no clothes, be in the same robe with your son, hold the hand of your son, and grow old with your son!" Guan Zhuofan dropped his schoolbag and said loudly to the sergeants on both sides: "What is this sentence talking about? is talking about brothers in the army, and love is the heaviest! You have no clothes to wear, I will give you my clothes, the enemy is rushing over, I am willing to die with you! weishenme said to go into battle brothers? Because it can't be dispersed, the broken bones are still connected to the tendons, one person is in trouble, and the support is supported from all sides, who is not afraid of such a team? Nature can be invincible! ”

Everyone was captivated by his words and listened attentively.

"Today, Daniel Zhang and them, five people beat more than a dozen of the Xiao Riding Battalion, and they didn't lose! weishenme？ Because everyone moves forward together, and no one admits it! Lao Mu ran back and forth for sixty miles, weishenme? Because he has a brother in his heart! These are their works! Secretary Suo—"

"In!"

"Thirty taels of silver for each person, and go back to Túrin to get the money."

There was silence in the field, but everyone's hearts were stirred up by Guan Zhuofan. Especially Lao Mu, in this short period of hard work, he will say that he wants to kill his head, then he will become a military stick, and he will say that he will reward his merits, and he will be shocked several times. After listening to Guan Zhuofan's few words, he only felt a sour and hot breath rushing to his head from his nose, and he couldn't help it, and he cried.

This is the first time that Guan Zhuofan has implemented dignified military law as a commander-in-chief, and it is also the first time that he has realized the experience of leading troops with equal emphasis on grace and might. From this day on, his Xiying horse team really began to transform from a security force of the Beijing division to an elite soldier in a hundred battles.

After the small year, even if you have stepped into the threshold of the big year. Even in the barracks, the atmosphere of the festival is getting stronger and stronger, although it is not so colorful, but the Spring Festival couplets on the tent are pasted, and various annual rewards are also coming. What is awarded in the palace is called an internal reward, and it is the internal money that is used, the emperor's private money. The salary given by the Ministry of War is called a gift, which has already been paid on the day of the new year. The Yamen of the infantry army who was walking in the country issued a reward, and Prince Zheng Duanhua, as the commander, also issued a private reward.

"Master, our silver is less than seven hundred taels left." Tulin, who was in charge of the money for Guan Zhuofan, quietly reminded him. These days, Guan Zhuofan has put a lot of his money in, all of which is used for rewarding. This time, he came to Rehe and brought 1,200 taels of silver, all of which were gifts from that dinner. Seeing him make so much money, he didn't feel distressed, but Túrin felt distressed.

"What is it worth!" Guan Zhuofan smiled, "Don't be careful, do you lend it to the camp, don't you still have the IOU?" ”

"Well......" Túrin touched a few IOUs in his arms as if he was not at ease.

Speaking of which, Guan Zhuofan still has a modern financial concept, and the secretary has written a note to him about the money lent to the camp, and he can always repay it in the future. However, how to pay it back, and when it will be returned, he has not yet figured it out. He only knows that generals who lead troops can always earn a lot of money, but if they want to make money, there are only two ways, one is to deduct soldiers' salaries, which is called "drinking soldiers' blood", and the other is to falsely report the number of soldiers, which is called "eating empty salaries". He can't do the thing of drinking the blood of the soldiers, but he is willing to do it when he eats empty salaries, but the horse team has just been set out from the capital, and in a hurry, where will he eat?

This incident made him quite confused, so he simply didn't think about it. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way, there is no reason why others can make a fortune with soldiers, he Guan Zhuofan will have to die of poverty if he leads the troops?

On the twenty-sixth of the year, the cattle used by the labor army sent through Luanping County were also distributed to the battalions. Their horse team in the western camp was divided into eight pigs and twelve sheep, so they raised the camp and cheered, and built a temporary shed outside the barracks with their own hands, and put these livestock in a pen and slowly killed them to eat. Coincidentally, Alhatu and Lao Cai also brought a few people to visit the door.

"Yo, the pigs are here, the sheep are here, and the two big brothers are here." Guan Zhuofan said with a smile.

", you kid doesn't have any virtue!" Lao Cai scolded with a smile, "Come to eat yours today, eat ours tomorrow." ”

It's also fun. The cooks in each barracks have different skills, and the dishes they make have different flavors. Several cooks of the Xiying horse team, all from Shanxi, set up firewood and began to roast sheep in the afternoon. The wind and the smell of the bonfire overflowed with the smell of fat, which made the whole camp salivate, and when it was time to start the meal, large pots of stewed pork and browned roast sheep were brought into the tents.

The seven people from the Xiao Riding Camp naturally sat in Guan Zhuofan's tent, and Guan Zhuofan specially asked Thurin to invite Daniel Zhang Lao Mu and Yixan over to eat together. When Lao Cai saw it, he was very affectionate, but he just saw that their actions were stiff, and occasionally there were grinning expressions, and he was confused, so he couldn't help but ask: "Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Ate the boss's baton." Daniel Zhang replied with a grin, quite a little ashamed, but proud. The pro-soldiers of the marching method are very measured, and although the momentum of the fight is great, it will never hurt the muscles and bones, so several people have been raised for a few days, although the body is still in pain, but the action is not a big problem.

Alhatu and Lao Cai asked about the situation clearly, and when they looked at Guan Zhuofan again, they had a somewhat awe-inspiring look. Alhatu took a big sip of wine and said with emotion: "Xiaoguan, you are getting better and better, they all obey you like this, I don't know how strong it is better than our bullshit leader!" It's not that I flatter you, you have such a mind and courage at a young age, and you will be developed in the future, that is certain. It would be nice if you were in the Riding Camp and we did it with you. ”

The topic turned to their leader Lebao, and Lao Cai said a lot of bullshit about Lebao, which made everyone grit their teeth and scolded for a while.

Just eat and drink nonsense, and after eating, people are already half drunk. Guan Zhuofan sent them to the tent, pulled a handful of Alhatu and Lao Cai, and stuffed a silver ticket of one hundred taels into each of them.

"It's the New Year, a little bit of my brother's heart." He whispered.

"This ...... This...... Wow, how can this be done! There was a light of surprise in both of their eyes, "It's too much, we can't return the gift......"

"I don't like to hear that! Brotherhood, how can it be counted with money? Guan Zhuofan made an angry look, "When the little brother was so poor, didn't he also use the money of the two brothers?" ”

"This ...... Okay, then we'll take it. Xiaoguan, you ...... I really didn't say it! Alhatu was emotional.

"Guan San, I'm serious," Lao Cai was a little dazed, took Guan Zhuofan's hand and said, "If you have anything to do to make a fortune, take me and Lao A, and we will all listen to you." ”

Of course, there is a matter of making a fortune, Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, it depends on whether you dare to do it.

After sending them on the horse, Guan Zhuofan returned to the tent and planned to rest. He had just laid down on the bunk when Túrin came in again.

"Master, there is a person named Cao Ping outside, who said he wants to see you."

Cao Yuying's listener! Guan Zhuofan jumped up, and the wine also woke up a lot.
