Chapter 174: The Beginning? (Text)

The sails are gathered, the cars and horses are watery, and the people are like ants.

Returning to Vung Tau Port, it suddenly makes people feel a sense of mixed feelings. Although we have returned with a full load, there are already many people who will never be able to see and enjoy such a great situation again.

Everywhere there was a congestion of carriages and horses, soldiers carrying large bags and small bags, waiting to board the ship and go to sea, as well as a large number of vendors wandering among them, many sergeants and generals would turn the goods obtained from the war into high-value-added specialties such as local bronze ware in order to make more money.

In contrast, we all have a lot of light equipment, and there is nothing superfluous except weapons and food.

Thanks to the strong participation of the Borneo Association in the later period, the ashes of our wounded and the dead, the collective loot and harvest, as well as various souvenirs in the names of individuals, were registered in detail and sent back to Canton with priority permission to go to sea.

Here, there is only the daily life of recuperation and relaxation, as well as the big and small banquets invited by the two heads in three days, and the recognition of various faces is numb.

In a way, the war cleansed the local aristocracy and gentry for a long time, but it also quickly created a group of potential upstarts who quickly rose to power. The earliest investment area like the port of Vung Tau is undoubtedly one of the best.

However, in terms of the distribution of benefits, they are just all kinds of people standing on the table.

A large number of farms, properties, workshops, mines, mediocre households, and feudal slaves that had been confiscated as officials because of the rebellion of the original owners would be resold to find new owners to be used in the military treasury, which was the bulk of the distribution of interests after the war.

In contrast, those of us who are fighting bloodily on the front line, fighting for life and death, and putting down our faces and figures to take advantage of the little things of the Haoduan, really can't put it on the table.

And this qiē is not just a few words of exchange of interests in the banquet of those who live above the court of Guangfu. After understanding this, I just made a good mood of flying windfall and the last bit of speculation and uneasiness, and it is completely gone, the so-called big thieves of the country are all in high positions in the temple.

The second beneficiary is the generals of the rebel army, regardless of how miserable and sacrificed they claimed to have been killed before, as long as they can hold on to the end, almost everyone has become a new owner of various properties in the local area.

Even Liu Yanqing, who is known as the most light and low-key handsome, after this war, has at least more fertile land under his name, dozens of tilts.

And Wei Chen, who stepped down as the commander of the frontier capital, even interfered in the operation of several specialties.

In the end, even I didn't pull it down, and I was allocated a real estate including Zhuangzi, which was all the so-called reverse property that was bought with the surplus military expenses and then bought at a very low price.

Then I took advantage of a little relationship with the ambassador of Liangtai, so the big estate outside Anguan Town as a station, from then on, the owner of the official deed became surnamed Luo, and then it was an important base that I lent to the Borneo Association after I left, and expanded my business in the local area.

Then there are the so-called loyal people in the local court who have been in school early, and they are more concerned about the division and progression of the local political pattern, so they use all their resources to obtain the rebel generals who have not left yet, and all kinds of cooperation and people are quite important.

Finally, like those scavengers, the merchant associations that flocked to seek various economic interests extended by the post-war reconstruction and change of power, they also had their own ways and channels.

I wanted to have a freshly baked Borneo Kaikan, because I am a person, and it is particularly important to have the advantage of being the first to develop and lay the foundation in the local area.

As for those who were displaced in the war, their families were ruined, life and death were separated, and even exiled to distant regions, thousands of local people were deliberately ignored and ignored, or behind the glory of victory and martial arts, no one cared for the time being, and would not consider the fate of these people who were against the rule of the party.

In a way, they are nothing more than the authority asserted by failed careerists and those in power, the fuel burned by the fierce collision, and the background of countless joys and sorrows.

To be honest, during the post-war relaxation time, I even fell into a kind of lost and dazed low tide because of this, what exactly was the qiē that I worked hard and wanted to have.

"You're hypocritical, just find a woman to go to the fire......"

This is a relatively familiar Chen Junhou, full of obscene statements.

"Didn't you say that all the means and processes are for that future......

This is the view of the fifth flat as an assistant

"Let us take care of this kind of unrighteousness and dishonor......"

"The actions of the officials and soldiers are indeed a little too unbearable, after all, they are in the hinterland of the country......

This is the sigh of Xin Jiaxuan as a deputy, who obviously still has some kind of idealistic plot and optimistic beliefs.

"No, how can we and other powerful people in the DPRK and China ...... in a joint letter?"

Then I had to make some effort to temporarily press his impulse to make enemies with all the officers and soldiers who had not yet received the promise.

"If the Lord has the heart to change these, then strive to obtain a higher position"

This is the head of the infantry army to roll the flag, simple and clear to build yì

"With enough power and strength, there is room for ambition and may not be ......"

"There is actually no difference between inside and outside the mountains, in fact, what you have been doing since you returned is not just to change the world and bad customs......

This is the view of the chief teacher and the first teaching team, Han Liangchen.

"Although as a human master, it is true that you are weak, but since you have this kindness and determination, you believe that you can go on in one breath...... At least I'm looking forward to that day......"

Well, I can only pinch my nose and smile bitterly, I will actually issue a good person card to my subordinates one day.

Since I didn't get the right answer I wanted, I could only turn my grief and anger into an appetite, and use the last bit of time before waiting to go home to collect various special ingredients and new recipes in the local area, and then go home to show my hand.

For example, the local specialty of the three fresh stew in front of me,

The sea head, skirt vegetables, seaweed, squid, shrimp head, and clams are slowly cooked together to form a quarter of the whole pot of fresh and sweet toppings, poured on top of the steamed chestnut rice, and continue to stir and stir-fry evenly, and finally the juice is collected into a completely invisible flowing soup, and then kneaded into small rice balls, even if it is done.

A drop of lime water or light white vinegar will make you an appetizing eater even on a hot summer day. It's just that this is a document sent by the Chinese army, and my last bit of appetite is temporarily gone.

"Reinforcements? , you're not mistaken......"

"We're all going home, what kind of soldiers are we going to make......"

"What's going on here......

"Could it be that you want to stuff people in and share the benefits and credits?"

"How can there be such a cheap thing......"

Seeing the officers who were looking home, they surrounded the herald and questioned and speculated loudly,

Anyway, after returning to Guangfu, the army will no longer exist, and we will not have to act under the control of the Chinese army, and the last bit of fear and restraint will be gone, so it is very reasonable to question

"This is a warrant from the Chinese army, please don't embarrass my generation......"

The officer who led the team also looked helpless, but responded in a good voice

"If you have any questions, you can ask your ......."

I waved my hand to stop the noise, took the official document, which was still fresh and ink-like, and looked at it carefully, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with the order, but the timing was just a little wrong.

There are seven or eight hundred people in this group of people who have been replaced, all of whom are remnants of the official army that have been scattered, but it is more like some kind of disguised punishment.

Most people are banned because of the mistakes of their original numbers, or they are destroyed because of their poor performance, so there are only two choices left at the moment, between being expelled from the military and going out of the house, going home naked with nothing to gain (repatriation to their hometown), or being demoted and assigned to a thorny group training with a bad desire and reputation, between the heart-washing and reforming redemption and tempering, there is only one possibility of two choices.

The question is, what do I want them to do, with a stomach full of questions, I specially went to pay a visit, Wei Chen, the commander of the front line who has stepped down, he has returned to the general of the army, and the front of the tent is the Marquis of Yu, and there is only one regiment of subordinates under him, and he temporarily lives in a big mansion outside the port city, and it seems that the courtyard is cold

Facing the Marquis Yu in front of the door, he reported his name and title, and after being introduced very crisply, he saw that he was in the courtyard, setting up this set of tea sets and small stoves, and drinking himself quite happily.

Of course, in my eyes, his appearance and temperament are too gloomy, and his body is full of blood and evil spirits, and he can only be described in two words when he comes to vassal elegance - "pretending to be forced".

"What are you singing......

I don't see the outside to get straight to the point.

"It's so affectionate......"

"I thought you'd come......"

Unsurprisingly, he got up, filled the empty celadon jar opposite, and made a gesture of please

"Why is that......"

I took it up and drank it down, but I felt a little sweet.

"I don't think it's so necessary......

"This is a late sweet throat that is a specialty of Fujian...... Tribute tea of all dynasties since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty"

He suddenly turned to him.

"It is also the first choice for clear tea"

"It's just that although Fujian is now under the rule of the national dynasty, it is a chaotic situation where the Tu people are so strong inside

I didn't know why I measured my head and drank it again, I don't know if it was because of the change in mentality, but I felt that the taste was much more profound.

"So over the years, the tribute has been interrupted, and only the atrium and Ouchi have a little collection......"

He continued, seemingly intoxicated by the scent of tea

"These are the little stocks that have been given by the Tonghai family over the years...... Even if it's the minister's family, he hasn't tasted it."

"It's just that it's cheaper for martial artists like you and me now......"

"That's the last bit of benefit I've fought for you, and it's a compensation for that headless case

He sighed and sighed.

"I'm about to change places, and I may have the opportunity to meet in the future......"

"Serendiity? ……”

I was even more confused.
