Chapter 47: Hulin's Revenge
Tang Xiaoyun is strange, with his grandfather's great power, he can't protect himself, then Hu Lin is just a trader's family, not even an official position, in this society where agriculture and industry are still very strong, isn't this harming Hu Lin, Tang Xiaoyun can't accept it, although he has a good impression of Hu Lin, and he doesn't reject the promise to marry Hu Lin, but if he harms Hu Lin's family because of this, then he would rather not marry.
"Grandpa, Hu Lin, they are just doing business, and those people in the court are not good people, so they will harm Hu Lin, and they will save your granddaughter's life." Tang Xiaoyun shook his head and resolutely disagreed.
"Good granddaughter, you are too bad, Hu Lin is actually the head of the regiment in Mashan County, and his ability is not small, some time ago, he had a meritorious role in suppressing the party, and I would have promoted him to the meeting office a long time ago. You see how he saved you, a few people against a dozen good hands, and he didn't hurt ・・・・・・ anyone. Tang Jingchong induced Tang Xiaoyun like a treasure.
"He's a little capable, and his car is comfortable... Oh, he can run such a small official, smaller than his grandfather's official, what's the use of those people? Grandpa wouldn't think that his small club could compare with a big man like the Governor of Liangguang, right? ”
Tang Xiaoyun thought that Tang Jingchong was also an official in the eyes of Hu Lin, and he had a bit of status in the imperial court, could it be that the two of them could resist those people's difficulties when they joined forces? Tang Xiaoyun doesn't think so.
"Grandpa, I don't think it's better to let him get into this troubled water, there may be a way in the future, otherwise my granddaughter will go to the foreigner and won't come back, see what they can do to me." Tang Xiaoyun looked resolute and wanted to leave.
"Hehe, I'm afraid my good granddaughter doesn't know how Hu Lin has made contributions, can she hide it from others, can she hide it from me, let me tell you, Hu Lin also has a family member, and there are a lot of them, and several counties from Mashan County to Fangchenggang are under the control of his family member."
Tang Jingchong looked at Tang Xiaoyun meaningfully and continued to reveal.
"And according to the report from the people below, Hu Lin also bought a warship with the Germans, as for how much, it is not known, there are often big iron birds flying in the sky near Pingshan Village, his old nest, Pingshan Village, well, it is the plane called by the foreigners, I heard that it is bigger than the foreigner's plane, I also sent people to all parts of Guangxi to check it, it seems that there are their activities everywhere, to put it mildly, Guangxi is probably already under the control of Hu Lin."
Speaking of which, Tang Jingchong didn't say anything else, with his granddaughter's intelligence and talent, he couldn't understand what he was talking about, so he would hurt this granddaughter in vain.
"Ahh After Tang Xiaoyun listened, he seemed to react and shouted loudly.
"I don't know if it's going to rebel, but if someone embarrasses him, he won't have good fruit to eat, Hu Lin is very ambitious, not only has money, but also guns, if such a person adds your grandfather and me, then the people in the court will have to take care of it again and again. Besides, Hu Lin is also a very good person, and he will not treat my precious granddaughter badly. ”
Tang Jingchong saw that Tang Xiaoyun was moved, and said something powerful while it was hot, with Hu Lin's background, coupled with his best support, not only can he protect Tang Xiaoyun, maybe his official path will have a better direction.
The incompetence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be seen by everyone, the foreigners have hit the capital, Lafayette ran to Xi'an, the Boxers, the Hui Party, and the bandits are in chaos, this may be a change in hundreds of years!
"Well, if I listen to my grandfather, my grandfather will help him, right?"
Tang Xiaoyun looked at Tang Jingchong expectantly, and seemed to admit Hu Lin's strength, if he added his grandfather Tang Jingchong, then he really didn't have to deal with those disgusting guys anymore, thinking of Hu Lin's humorous and handsome appearance, it seemed to be a good choice, Tang Xiaoyun's face suddenly flushed.
"The good granddaughter followed him, grandpa, I can still stand by and watch, don't worry, maybe we will have to follow my grandson-in-law in the future, haha, hahaha..." Tang Jingchong is happy now, he has decided to solve two troubles and big problems, these two troubles are not so easy to solve, with Hu Lin here, it seems that it is not so difficult.
Tang Jingchong thought about it again, this matter should be determined sooner rather than later, first determine this matter, and then ask Tang Xiaoyun not to go back to the Tang Mansion, first live in the General Bureau of League Training, and then invite his own people in Guangxi to discuss matters, thinking of this, he repaired the book and sent it to the guards everywhere.
Hu Lin returned to the barracks, came to the guard company, asked them to change their military uniforms, put them together and carry them away, came to the temporary school grounds, ordered people to prepare large basins and water, and then called Wang Daniu, and everyone except the guards gathered.
Suddenly, the drums sounded loudly, and the more than 1,000 Pingshan troops who stayed behind only took three minutes to assemble, however, everyone noticed that there were a lot of clothes on the school stage, and Master Wang Daniu Wang stood next to the clothes, and there were several buckets and wooden basins next to him, and everyone on the field seemed to understand that something big was going to happen, and Master Wang wanted to "demonstrate" everyone to wash clothes.
Hu Lin stood beside Wang Da Niu expressionlessly, seeing that everyone had arrived, the speed was quite fast, it seemed that the training had not fallen, Hu Lin had an appreciative smile on his face.
"All of them, take a break, morality, intelligence, physical beauty is the fine tradition of our nation, we as soldiers are no exception, we should do a good job, you usually do well, but there is still room for improvement, now we ・・・・・ let Master Wang Da Niu Wang show you how to wash clothes, we welcome Master Wang."
After Hu Lin finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and the Pingshan army under the field seemed to react and also clapped his hands, clapping very enthusiastically, Wang Daniu stood in place with an embarrassed face, as if he didn't want to move.
"Pap, pap, papa, pap..."
Hu Lin raised his hand and pressed it, signaling to stop. "Master Wang's laundry level is as good as his military position, so the company commanders of each company present will come to check after a while, if Master Wang has not washed them, then take off your clothes and let Master Wang wash them, if you don't check carefully, then you company commanders will take turns to wash the clothes of everyone present."
After Hu Lin finished speaking, he walked off the stage with a blank face and went back to his room. The people below immediately became lively, all talking about how this Wang Shi Commander offended Hu Lin, he was so ruthless, and he was so anxious to call us here...
Wang Daniu stood on the stage, his face had turned the color of pig liver, he had already dried up the oil when he knew it, and he knew that Hu Lin was doing "very", "super" and "important" things, and he still bothered him, which was self-inflicted. In desperation, he could only squat down and start washing seriously, Wang Daniu knew that Hu Lin could say it, he could do it, and if he didn't wash the clothes of the thousands of people in the field, he would have to pile them up, and if he didn't wash them again, he might call the Pingshan army back from the field training, and then take off his clothes and wash his ・・・・・.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Hu Lin returned to the room, and immediately laughed uncontrollably, and the guards outside the door also laughed when they heard Hu Lin's laughter, but they didn't dare to laugh too loudly, they went out with Hu Lin, and Wang Da Niu came back and was still bragging to them, what happened in Hu Lin's car, no, it didn't take long for him to be taken to "demonstrate" washing clothes in front of thousands of people.
Stabilized his mind, Hu Lin picked up Li Tie and Zhou Wu's training report, there were a lot of problems, and a few unlucky ones hung up, a few were besieged and trampled to death by elephants, two were eaten by tigers, and some were bitten by snakes or something, but fortunately, they were picked up, most of these were caused by not doing things according to orders, and there was no big problem.
Hu Lin continued to look at the report, it was the development progress of Hu Lin's old nest in Mashan County, which seemed to be not bad, Mashan County was almost completely renovated, radiating to neighboring counties, and then the main roads in Guangxi were still being repaired.
"Knock knock, knock"
"Come in"
"Report to the general, there is a call from Fangchenggang, the warships on the German side will arrive in two days, there are a total of four 8,000-ton warships, as well as some ships, and the last part of the trading equipment, Division Commander Xiong asked the general to be present at that time." After the messenger finished reading the telegram, he stood still in a standard military posture, waiting for orders.
Hu Lin thought about it, he didn't expect the German side to vacate four warships so quickly, and some ships of thousands of tons, it seems that the training is enough, it's a big deal to let them hunt seabirds at sea every day, and find an opportunity to ask other countries to buy a few more.
"Call Xiong Qing back, prepare for the reception, let Chen Rui speed up the construction of the port, and he will rush over when the time comes, okay, that's all, go and send the report." Hu Lin thought for a moment and ordered.
The messenger copied the telegram and exited the room, Hu Lin continued to review the reports from all over the place, these were all implemented after he had discussed them, Hu Lin only made a rough plan when arranging, and now he only looks at the progress and results, Hu Lin doesn't want to arrange everything by himself, with his high school education, he may not have done a good job.
"Report, Supervisor Tang has an invitation." The messenger handed over a gilded invitation.
After Hu Lin motioned for the messenger to go down, he confirmed the seal paint before opening it and reading the invitation. "Tomorrow... Celebration banquet? How did I not know? I'm afraid there is something, otherwise I wouldn't have called myself as soon as Tang Xiaoyun came back, and I don't have to be in such a hurry to thank myself. ”
Hu Lin thought about Tang Jingchong's purpose for calling himself to the banquet, except to thank himself for saving his granddaughter, there seemed to be no other possibility, but he always felt that there was more than this. Hu Lin simply didn't care about it, and he would naturally know if he went tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, the beauty who was not seen in person in Guangzhou City actually sent it to the door by herself, and let herself be saved, now Hu Lin didn't have the heart to read the report, and his thoughts didn't know where he flew. The former ** silk, the current local tyrant Hu Lin is still not exempt from vulgarity, and he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, let alone a goddess.
Hu Lin sat alone in the room and smirked, and suddenly thought that Wang Daniu was still washing clothes on the school grounds. "Let's take him to Tang's house tomorrow," Hu Lin thought to himself, and then asked someone to tell Wang Da Niu to prepare a gift to bring, it seems that there is no time to get modern things, so let Wang Da Niu prepare.
