On the seventh day of the first month,

In the north of Huangzhou City, on an open snowfield, a few scattered tombs and trees dot the land.

When the first month, a boundless snowfield in front of me, in the south of the Yangtze River, this year's snow, it seems to be a little bigger, covering the world in a piece of ice and snow, as for the manned car crushed the official road to cover the snow, like a yellow-black white line.

On the side of the official road, there is a look of chariots, horses, chariots, and flags, and among the pieces of flags in the snow, the messy black spots, gray spots are even eye-catching, this is a team composed of more than 1,000 horses. On the flagpole made of bamboo in the middle of the procession, a flag with the four characters "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" written on it fluttered in the wind.

Compared with the messiness here, on the frozen official road, there was a sound of neat footsteps, accompanied by the beat of drums, although they were far away, but they still vaguely reached the ears of Li Erhu and others.

"This, this is ......"

Looking at the team getting closer and closer in the distance, because he was instructed by the eldest brother, he knew that everyone was going to greet the officers and soldiers here, but when the uniform footsteps came from afar, it made him feel a little strange.

He had seen the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers walked the same way as them, and they looked like they were shopping, and as for the steps, they were also unkempt, and they were like this, almost like a person walking.

"My good ......"

There is no need to look at the team that came over, just listen to the neat footsteps, Li Erhu knows that the big boss has voted for the right person this time!

The team is getting closer and closer, looking at the middle of the team at the beginning of the group holding flags, although they are all wearing ordinary uniforms, but just that step, is that spirit, no one will doubt it, this is definitely the elite of the imperial court, don't say it is Li Erhu, that is, those soldiers who were originally unkempt, listening to the uniform footsteps, and then seeing this formation, although the number is only four or five hundred, but it also really makes their hearts suddenly mourned, and they are glad for the wisdom of the officials.

When Ding Lao Liu recovered from the shock, when he looked up at the side of the procession, he saw that there were hundreds of people in the square, and the leader was none other than an old acquaintance who had just arrived in Hankou, and he had met a comprador of a foreign company in the temple outside the city.

This, why has this person become an official master?

Although he had doubts, he still relieved himself when he looked at the big boss and Li Yuanji who followed him, it seems that this official army has been voted, but where is Chen Shishuai?

As soon as the two bags of cigarettes were over, this team of more than 500 people stopped on the other side of the official road with an order, and the "bandits" with different colors of clothes on the opposite side immediately saw the difference between this team, the front of the team was full of musketeers carrying muskets, and the two or three hundred people in the back were carrying red tassel guns.

"Stand upright, look to the left......"

With the command given, the team that had just stopped quickly changed its ranks, and in a few moments it formed a neat square formation. In front of the square, six black and hollow foreign cannons were aimed directly at the big guy, and the barrel could almost fit into the child's head.

Looking at the muzzle of the cannon, everyone gasped.

As for Ding Laoliu, when he looked at the cannon barrel on the Western-style gun truck, he only felt a chill, and his eyes couldn't help but look towards Huangzhou City, secretly thinking in his heart that the broken wall of Huangzhou City could withstand a few cannons.

Zhu Yifeng, who was riding on a horse, didn't notice the change in everyone's faces, and even the reason why he asked people to push the gun carriage in front of the team was to deter, which would make him even glad that when he was in Tuanfeng Town, he asked the craftsmen on the ship to make these land gun carriages according to the drawing, the 32-pound caron gun is not heavy, and the weight of the gun body is less than 1900 pounds, but the weight of the gun carriage is more than 4000 pounds, and it takes four screws to pull, although the cannon is very heavy, but this will look at the faces of those people, Zhu Yifeng knew that he had done the right thing.

Just as everyone was frightened by the black hole that could be stuffed into the child's head, suddenly, the white-faced young man riding on the horse threw a cloth bag from the horse, and the thing wrapped in the cloth bag fell in mid-air, a bloody head.

The bloody head rolled out like a ball on the snow for several feet, and then came into everyone's eyes.

Chen Shishuai!

When recognizing whose head it was, the faces of Li Erhu, Ding Laoliu and others all changed suddenly. The sudden upheaval only shocked everyone who looked up at the "adult" with a look of confusion and doubt in their eyes, and just as the strange atmosphere was permeating the snowfield, a fierce voice sounded.

"The big guys are all listening, this Chen Shuyang colluded with the Qing Demon, intending to sell the big guys to the Qing Demon, in order to get rich, and now this dog thing has been killed by the adult, the adult said, only the head of the evil is punished, and the servant does not ask ......"

When shouting these words loudly, Wang Fu himself admired himself, the original surname Chen was killed by him, but now that he said this, he became an order, he also knew that Lord Zhu would not care about these things at the moment, and the most important thing at the moment was to coax these people first. As for the adults...... It's this man that the adults want!

What's going on?

Wang Fu's shout aggravated everyone's doubts.

Listening to the shout, Zhu Yifeng smiled secretly in his heart, this person is a smart person. Know when and what to say.

Noticing that everyone seemed to be a little confused, Wang Fu set his eyes on Li Yuanji, although this meeting had returned to his own side, but Li Yuanji knew that he couldn't get off this thief ship at the moment, let alone get down, so he cooperated and said.

"Brothers, I know about this, this Zhao'an matter is the idea of the dog surnamed Chen, he is going to sell us all to the government for his own red top, if no one stops us in time, I'm afraid our brothers will be sold by the surname Chen......"

When Li Yuanji spoke, Wang Fu glanced at Li Erhu again, and got a hint from the big boss, although he didn't understand what was going on, but Li Erhu knew how to play this play.

"The brothers are all watching, the elite soldiers led by the adults are in front of you, don't be fooled by the conscienceless thing surnamed Chen, do you say yes, Cui Laosan, this matter, do you know about this......"

"Yes, yes, that's right, that's right, then, the guy surnamed Chen is going to sell the big guy......"

When they opened their mouths and scolded Chen Shuyang for having no conscience, Zhu Yifeng took the red tassel spear from the soldiers around him, rode his horse a few steps forward, stabbed Chen Shuyang's head with the red tassel spear, raised it high, and said to everyone.

"Brethren!"

Zhu Yifeng's shouting was very loud, immediately overshadowing everyone's words, more precisely, it was his actions that made everyone's words stagnant, and almost everyone looked at the raised head in shock.

"This official only punishes the first evil, and the servant does not ask, and now the first evil has been punished, all brothers are my brothers, and they will never be in the company of this rebellion......"

After a moment of surprise, Zhu Yifeng stood on the carriage and shouted.

"Now that the brothers have been attributed to Zhu, Zhu will not treat the brothers badly, and today all the brothers will be rewarded with two taels of money, and all the leaders will be rewarded. From now on, all soldiers in Zhu's army, regardless of whether they are old or new, will be paid four taels of military salaries every month......"

Just like the previous ambush of those people, after first using human heads to deter them, Zhu Yifeng used the simplest and most straightforward way to buy people's hearts, that is, silver.

For the world, whether it is righteousness or morality, in front of the white flowers, they are often vulnerable, not to mention these ordinary people who are full of vegetables and ragged clothes who seem to be soldiers, but in fact they are just poor ordinary people. Of course, another reason for promising a generous salary at the beginning is that this team is a group of people who have taken over from someone else. With these four taels of silver, it is enough to make these soldiers return to their hearts, as for the so-called leaders, hum, unless they can come up with the same, or even more, military salary, even if he is the emperor Laozi, he will not want to pull this team away.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Before Zhu Yifeng's words fell, in the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains here, more than a thousand former Taiping officers and soldiers knelt together, and for these soldiers who could not even hide a few copper coins privately, the military salary of these four taels of silver coins was enough for them to cheer for them, and enough for them to repay their loyalty.

Listening to the wave after wave of retribution, Wang Fu, who was pale, suddenly understood that his team had changed his surname to "Zhu" today.

Brother Chen, you died at the hands of such a person, you are not wronged!

sighed in his heart, Li Yuanji not only did not have a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, but was glad that he was wise and glad that he made a choice at that time......

In the midst of the tsunami-like cheers, Li Yuanji listened to Wang Fu say to the adults again.

"My lord, in fact, there was originally another brother who left with the team because he didn't agree to recruit An, you see?"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yifeng, who was enjoying the cheers of everyone, heard Wang Fu say this, and immediately became interested in the person who left, and hurriedly ordered.

"Where are the people? You don't need to ask, of course your brother has to chase it back! ”
