Chapter 0451 Whether or not to be sold as a courtesan
Early the next morning, the dismantling of the provincial corps officially began.
First, a meeting of all officers above the squad leader level was convened to announce the dismissal order of the imperial court, and then an explanation was given. Finally, the resettlement programme for the soldiers was announced.
After the meeting here, the officers went back to the meeting and communicated it to the soldiers.
Although the soldiers were a little reluctant, there had been rumors of rumors before, and they were mentally prepared.
The government corps has always been strictly disciplined, and seeing that the commanders have actively cooperated, and there is a relatively generous resettlement plan, compared to those prisoners of war who were brought back from North Vandu, their own back road is already quite good.
So, in the end, there was no mess coming out.
The commanders also made a promise that if there was another war in the future, the chief would recruit them back.
That night, the canteen was greatly improved, and we ate casual meals. Jia Min and other senior officers all attended, and everyone drank together.
Talking about the extraordinary years of the past two years, Jia Min and others were also very emotional, and the vast majority of soldiers cried loudly.
It is not only a pity for the collective of the government corps, but also a sad for the upcoming separation.
The next day, he began to arrange for the distribution of money, and if anyone wanted to buy land in Bukui, he would go to the yamen to register.
The yamen specially launched a preferential price for the soldiers of the government corps to buy land. If you do business or open a craft shop in Bukui, you will also be exempt from tax for two years.
Those who are not willing to be in Bukui will take the money back to their hometown.
Part of Zhao Dahai's four regiments was the old team of the original government corps before Bu Kuilai, and this part of the people was reassigned to the Bu Kui Yamen and incorporated into the command of General He Shen in Beijing.
The others can be divided into several parts.
First, there are more than 1,300 people in Jia Min's Laofu Corps in the Yeduju era. This is the absolute main force and elite of the government corps.
Of these people, about 400 people returned home, and most of the rest stayed in Bukui. They all looked forward to the day when Jia Min would reconvene them under his command.
The rest of the people were recruited after the battle of South Windola the year before.
These people are roughly made up of three parts.
The first is the displaced people from the interior, including the northeast. The second is the exile who was originally exiled in Bukuipei. The third is the tribal warriors recruited from South Windula, and the fourth is the local inhabitants of Bukui.
The latter two parts are basically locals, and they have returned home, not far from Bukui. Some of the first two parts went home, while others stayed in Bukui.
In total, there are more than 6,000 people in the Fu Corps, and only about 1,000 people have really returned to Guannei, and most of the rest are actually still in Bukui and even in the northeast.
The officers, some of whom returned home, others stayed in Bukui.
Some people are planning to go home and see, and after a while, they plan to return to Bukui.
Even those who went home may have made a promise that if they rebuilt the government corps in the future, they would say hello and they would return immediately.
Whether it is an ordinary soldier or an officer, this experience in the government corps is the most memorable time in their lives.
It is no exaggeration to say that this experience was the most important turning point in their lives.
Here they not only learned the skills of fighting, but also learned to read and count, learned the craft of supporting their families in the future, and received a much richer salary than other soldiers.
More importantly, it tempered their perseverance and iron will.
Of course, the most important point is that with their series of victories, they have reaped the honor of a soldier.
It was they who defeated the iron horsemen of South Windura, defeated the invincible Tatars, and rescued the prince and princess.
No matter when and where, this is a brilliant record that they can proudly show off to others.
Zhang Decai, who stayed in Yeduju, stayed in the class, and Jia Min sent them a letter, telling a few people to stay behind to make wine in Yeduju and give them some shares.
Other people, those who are willing to go home, and those who are not willing to go home, can take Jia Min's letter and go to Fang Xiucai, Nan'er, and Liu Tieshan, and ask them to arrange errands for them.
If you don't want to disperse for a while, you can also wait for Feng Ziying to go back and then make specific arrangements.
The senior officers, Lin Dajiang, Jiao Li, Wei Ruoshui, Jia Qin, Qin Zhong, and Shi Song will follow Jia Min to France.
They were accompanied by Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng, who also had important missions. The two of them, along with Jiao Li, will take on the task of rebuilding the equipment of Jia Min's army in the future.
Chen Yejun and Feng Zijing will stay in Bukui, and together with Ping'er, they will preside over Bukui's tobacco production and processing.
At the same time, he was responsible for the management and friendship of the soldiers of the Provincial Corps who remained in Bukui, and assisted them in living and developing in Bukui.
Wei Ruolan will go with Jia Min, and after arriving in Beihai, she will stay there and carry out preliminary activities.
Feng Ziying will go home to visit relatives first, and after a period of time, she will lead some people to Beihai to meet Wei Ruolan, establish a foothold there, and make preliminary preparations for expanding the territory after Jia Min arrives there in the future.
Chen Yeqing, Shi Liu, etc., either go home, or stay in Bukui, waiting for the call at any time.
Of course, Jia Min's plan for the founding of the country is only known to the leaders of the five armies and the seven people Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng.
Even Baochai and Ping'er and others, Jia Min didn't tell them.
However, there are still some things to tell them, such as going to France.
"What? Go to France! ”
Miaoyu wanted to stare at the beautiful eyes.
"What are we going to do in that wild place?"
Qingwen feels that she is currently very good in Bukui, and there is really no need to toss around.
"Fourth Brother Min, is that the country of Cervante?"
Although Baochai was also surprised, he still calmed down in the end.
"It's good here, where to go and what to do?"
Ping'er was also reluctant to go.
"Ping'er is with a child, so it is naturally inconvenient to go, so I won't go. Stay in Bukui and take care of the tobacco business and liquor business with Chen Yejun. ”
"Bing Yi's business is in Bukui, and he also stays in Bukui to help take care of Ping'er and business."
"As for Daiyu, if you want to go to France, you can go, and if you don't want to go, you can stay with Ping'er in Bukui."
"What are we going to do there? According to Mr. and Mrs. Cervante, it was far away. ”
"There are several purposes, one is to travel, and the other is to make money."
"Where can't you make money? In the imperial capital, in Bukui. It's all about making money. ”
Miaoyu was still puzzled, so she said it bluntly.
"We're going to make more money, enough money for a lifetime at once."
Jia Min drew a big pie for them.
"Today's money is enough to spend for several lifetimes."
Miaoyu actually has a deep family background in her hands, although there is no leakage of how much money there is on the surface, but her money is deeply hidden.
The money she said was enough to spend for several lifetimes, and it was really not a lie.
After arriving at Bukui, Ping'er, Baochai, Shen Bingyi, and Qingwen were all busy making money, but she didn't bother with this at all.
In addition to her reluctance to do business, it also has a lot to do with the fact that she has a small treasury.
"Well, well, life can't be reluctant, in addition to money, there are also poems and distances. People live for a lifetime, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles, and they can't always live in a corner. ”
Jia Min had no choice but to adopt various tactics to break through.
Miaoyu doesn't like the smell of copper, and likes to play a cold style, so she has to use this tactic.
The tactics really worked, and Miaoyu stopped squeaking.
"Qingwen, didn't you already recognize Cong Xiu as your father-in-law? I've already told Cong Xiucai, let's have a round house tomorrow, and you can be regarded as officially passing the door. ”
"So fast?"
Qingwen was a little surprised.
"What's wrong, you don't want to?"
"Whoever says they don't want to, they are naturally willing."
There's no way, you have to use a beautiful man trick for Qingwen.
However, it's not all about calculations. This time to France, Ping'er and Shen Bingyi can't go, the road is long, the night is long, guarding a few big beauties, you can see it, you can't eat it, isn't it a disadvantage to yourself?
"Fourth Brother Min, you should quickly take Qingwen away, she can't wait for a long time."
The literary young Daiyu actually picked up these words, which surprised Jia Min.
Even Daiyu is so civilized now? That's a big change.
"Baochai, are you going?"
"What else do I have to go, I always marry a chicken with a chicken, and a dog with a dog."
Baochai is actually a better choice.
He and Jia Min already have a marriage contract, if they are in the mansion, it is difficult for the two of them to see each other, but in Bukui, there are not so many scruples.
In the eyes of people here, it is natural for her to follow Jia Min. To go or not to go, in fact, it is only in her thoughts.
Of course, Baochai's insight and scheming are naturally incomparable to others.
Jia Min didn't want to be an official anymore, he didn't go back to the imperial capital, and he didn't stay in Bukui, and now the government corps has been abolished.
As early as last year, Jia Min asked them to learn the French language and script with Mr. and Mrs. Cervante, and urged them whenever he had time.
At that time, Baochai felt that Jia Min seemed to be doing it on purpose. Otherwise, where is the need to learn the things that can't be beaten with eight poles?
When she suddenly proposed to go to France, she felt that there was a name for herself here, and it was far from being as simple as traveling there and making money.
Now that he has proposed to go to France, it can be seen that Jia Min has been prepared for a long time.
Besides, she is already enjoying her life with Jia Min, and she really doesn't want to ask her to leave Jia Min.
Although I already have a marriage contract with him, some things will change.
"Miss Lin, are you going?"
"I'll go!"
Daiyu replied very simply.
It seemed that she felt that she had answered too quickly, and Daiyu felt a little embarrassed.
"Didn't the ancestor give you my money, I will do business with you so that I can make some money back."
Although Daiyu explained so, Baochai and the others still looked at her a few more times.
Daiyu's decision obviously surprised them a little.
"Miaoyu, did you really decide not to go?"
"Who said I decided? Our sisters always advance and retreat together, and they are all gone, how can I not go? ”
"Well, in that case, you can get ready, and in a few days, we will leave. In the past two days, I will teach you some French poetry, which you will use when you get there. ”
"Monsieur and Mrs. Cervante will walk with us, and along the way, they will teach you French."
"Also, for the past two days, you have all gone to the nightclub of the ice coat to learn some French etiquette. Well, by the way, learn to dance too. ”
"What, dancing too? Fourth Brother Min, are you going to kidnap us to France and sell us as geisha? ”
Miaoyu's eyes widened again.
