The cold wind was fierce, and on the barn outside Tuanfeng Town, more than 200 soldiers wearing various cotton clothes and carrying foreign guns on their shoulders stood there, and on the flagpole made of bamboo, the yellow flag with the four big characters "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" written on it fluttered in the wind. However, although the flag was flying, the yellow clothes on the soldier's body had long since gone.

In the team, there are dozens of people wearing the clothes of Lian Yong, and even the people at the corner station over there are also wearing the clothes of the official government Lian Yong, only a dozen foreigners are still wearing the coats of foreign wool, as for the others, the clothes are "changed" fast enough, and the Taiping Army a few days ago will become an "official army".

But this official army is just a temporary class.

As the leader of this group of people, Zhu Yifeng, who was standing in front of the drying field, looked at his team, not to mention, under the training of those foreign sailors, this team would also look good.

At least it's scary to look at, and if you take those cannons on the island, isn't this a decent foreign gun team?

It's a little less in number, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is silver, there is no need to worry about no one to be a soldier, from ancient times to the present, there are people who eat food, and if you have money, you are worried about not being able to recruit soldiers?

"Brothers, I won't say anything superfluous, a while ago, in order to survive, our brothers had to pretend to be the Taiping Army for a few days......"

Standing in front of these soldiers, Zhu Yifeng did not hide the reason for disguising the Taiping Army in the first place - it was to save his life, and when he was on the island before, he had already informed everyone about this, and now for Zhu Yifeng, all he needs is to add fuel and vinegar to magnify some problems.

"At the beginning, we did this to save our lives, but now, the Taiping army is about to withdraw from Hubei, and this official army is following all the way, the question is, what should we do!"

The words of the owner standing on the stage made the people in the audience stunned, Lin Yuqing, Yu Xiaobao and others also looked at the owner on the stage for unknown reasons, what should I do? If the ship was still there, the big guy would get on the boat and leave this place, and go straight to the Shanghai that the owner said, but now, the ship is long gone. The big guys, like the owners, are trapped here.

"I won't say much else, now, in the eyes of the government, what are we? It's the rebel who has been cut by a thousand knives! Let the officers and soldiers catch it, just by virtue of our background, it is also the crime of beheading! ”

What the!

The owner's words only made everyone in the audience who had dutifully pretended to be the "Taiping Army" panic these days, that is, those sailors were barely able to maintain their composure, as for the people who were saved in Hankou, they were even more frightened and pale, and Xue Hailong was even more frightened in the team.

This, what a good thing this is!

As a scholar, he doesn't think that this is the owner being alarmist there, he knows the habits of the government well, he naturally knows that after the loss of Wuchang, those officers and soldiers don't mind taking credit for their heads, this officer and soldier often kills good and risky merit, and killing them, a group of people who have pretended to be the Taiping Army, can naturally do it.

This, how good is this, how can this just come out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's mouth again...... muttering like this in his heart, looking at the owner standing on the stage, Xue Hailong's heart had a thought again, what did the owner mean by this?

Yes, his own people are in danger of their lives, can this Zhu Dongjia be able to escape? It's true that the big guy accidentally became a "bandit", but he Zhu Dongjia said strictly, that is a "bandit leader", and that is a crime that can punish the nine clans!

Since he said so, he must have an idea!

Thinking like this in his heart, in a panicked voice, Xue Hailong suddenly said loudly.

"Since our lives were saved by the owner, everything depends on the owner, and please save us again!"

Xue Hailong shouted like this, and immediately made everyone's eyes on him, and seeing that the owner's eyes were also on him, Xue Hailong hurriedly knelt down with a gun and shouted loudly.

"Please save my life again!"

The people next to him will still be confused, and they will pray as if they are grasping the last straw.

"Please save my life again!"

In the sound of everyone's pleading, Li Ziyuan, who had long known the owner's intentions, looked at the owner in surprise, this will make him finally understand the meaning of the owner, the owner is using alarmist words to pull everyone onto his "boat"! I can't help but secretly admire the owner, the owner's move seems to be "telling the truth as it is", in fact, it is clearly to force everyone's lives, to force them to serve them with a desperate way, and now these people are all tied up by the owner with their own lives, but how do they know, what they want to seek?

After a moment of surprise and admiration, Li Ziyuan only saw Zhu Yifeng standing on the stage, and said from time to time.

"You brothers really look up to someone Zhu, since you brothers trust each other with their lives, how can someone Zhu refuse......

After some hypocrisy, Zhu Yifeng looked at everyone and said.

"Since before, we were trying to survive in death, so now, Zhu is also willing to survive in death again in the brothers, if it can be done, not only will your brothers' lives be worry-free, maybe when the time comes, you and I can find a wife and a son, I don't know what everyone thinks?"

"It's all up to the owner!"

The people who were fooled by Zhu Yifeng and only thought that they were worried about their lives would refuse, and in the taming of everyone, they only listened to Zhu Yifeng continue.

"Before, we pretended to be the Taiping Army, so now, since the Taiping Army has fled, if we want to live, we have to pretend to be this officer and army to practice bravery......"

pretended to be an official and practiced bravery, and before Xue Hailong could react, the words of the owner came over again.

"Now, this Taiping army fled all the way down the river, abandoning countless cities along the way, as long as you and I pretend to be Lian Yong to obtain a city, we can not only deal with the government, but at that time, how can we have the merit of recovering the city and so on and have to worry about our lives?"

Without waiting for everyone to react, Zhu Yifeng sprinkled "jelly beans" again.

"Since all the brothers defected to Zhu, then Zhu will not treat you badly, and all the brothers today are rewarded with one or two dollars, and the leader has another reward. From now on, all the soldiers in our camp will be paid four taels a month, but whoever is detained will be killed......

What is known is righteous, and what is reasonable. For the people, it has never been more attractive than white flowers. The Taiping army, which preached the "truth" all day long, was finally defeated by the Hunan army that received double salaries. As for the rest, well, the military salary of four taels of silver is enough to make these soldiers return to their hearts, and with a team at hand, why should they not be able to gain a foothold in this era, not only can they gain a foothold, even if this country is not able to compete with others, and win it!

Zhu Yifeng's words were only halfway through, but the cheers below were like a mountain roaring tsunami, such hot emotions and violent shouts were simply unbelievable. But it was real, and everyone who had feared for their lives before was stunned by the four taels of military pay.

Although the four taels of military pay had not yet been paid, it did not prevent them from shouting with the most sincere and enthusiastic emotions such cries as "Your Excellency is wise", "Swear to die for your life", "Eradicate the rebels" and so on.

Listening to the wave after wave of shouts, Xue Hailong, who was pale-faced in the crowd, could be regarded as understanding what was going on? He didn't know if the government would kill them, but he knew that now this team was really surnamed "Zhu", this Zhu Dongjia, no, it should be said that Lord Zhu was really a good means!

sighed in his heart, now Xue Hailong not only did not have any sense of resistance, but was glad that he was wise, if he wanted to come to such a world, with such a person, then no matter how bad it was, he would be able to find a background in the future, if he could be like that master...... Thinking of this, he looked towards Li Ziyuan, but only saw his face full of appreciation.

Verbal persecution, promising generous pay, under these two tricks in a row, who in this team will have different intentions. It's just that...... His brows furrowed slightly, looking at the adults who seemed to be enjoying everyone's cheers, but Li Ziyuan's heart was secretly worried about it-what if he couldn't take Huangzhou City?
