Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Nine Rivers of the Horse
After Liu Shifa was taken to the big tent of the Chinese army by Ma Ben, Ma Ben and the idle people in the camp retreated together, leaving the huge camp tent to Chang Zhenbang and Liu Shifa.
Chang Zhenbang didn't know when a pair of exquisite tea sets were placed in front of him. The tea pets from the fair cup to the three-legged toad are almost perfect, but Chang Zhenbang's method of washing tea and making tea is too rough, which simply desecrates such a good tea set. Liu Shifa is a native of Jiangxi, Jiangxi belongs to the south, and the southerners' preference for kung fu tea makes him unable to say that he can be said to be a master for kung fu tea, but he is not a raw melon egg, the more such people regret the tea set under Chang Zhenbang.
Chang Zhenbang raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Shifa, and said with a slight smile: "Brother, come and sit down and taste my kung fu tea!" As he spoke, he poured a bowl of tea and handed it over.
Liu Shifa took it with both hands and tasted it gently, and couldn't help frowning.
Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "Brother thinks this tea is not bad!" ”
Liu Shifa said: "Tea is a first-class good tea, and the water is also good. ”
Chang Zhenbang sighed and said, "The tea is a high-quality tea, and the water is also good, but unfortunately this tea is terrible!" ”
"That's not what it means!" Liu Shifa smiled bitterly, but he couldn't help but be surprised by Chang Zhenbang's self-knowledge, in fact, this is exactly what he meant, Chang Zhenbang's kung fu tea is terrible, almost reaching the realm of three wastes, the first is ruining the water, the second is ruining the tea, and the third is ruining the tea set. It's just that there are too many vassal and elegant people, and few will consider themselves unlucky
Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly and said: "I am a northerner, I like to drink tea, this kung fu tea is the first time I have made it, not only does it not look good, but it must also taste bad, I still know this!" As he spoke, he gently pushed the tea set in front of him to Liu Shifa's side, and stretched out his hand to signal.
Liu Shifa hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand carefully, just picked up the small teapot, and gently put it down, raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Chang Zhenbang, seeing that he didn't mind, then picked up the small teapot again, poured out the tea in the small teapot without hesitation, picked up a teaspoon again, probed into the teapot, gently took out the remaining tea leaves on the inner wall of the teapot, poured water into the teapot again, put it on the tea stove, and after the water boiled, pour the hot water everywhere and pour cold water again, so after three times, Only then did he carefully display his kung fu tea skills.
After more than half an hour, a bowl of tea was finally slowly put in front of Chang Zhenbang with an endless aroma, and said, "Please taste it!" ”
Chang Zhenbang drank it all, the tea bowl was only as big as two or three fingers together, even a five or six-year-old child could drink it all, but this way of drinking really ruined this hard-won tea and disappointed Liu Shifa's intentions.
Chang Zhenbang drank it, and couldn't help but praise: "Wu Tou Chu Weitian, Guangdong Hu Min Tingdi, all in this pot of red, the elder brother is really a wonderful hand." ”
"Can you really drink it?" Liu Shifa was very surprised by Chang Zhenbang's tasting, his tea-making technique is not profound, but it is a unique technique in Jiangxi, and people who are idle really can't taste it, especially a cow drink like Chang Zhenbang, it is impossible to taste it at all.
Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "Zhenbang doesn't know much about Chinese tea art, but I am fortunate to have played a few tea parties in Dongying, but I also know a thing or two about this method." Saying this, his heart couldn't help but hurt. Damn, why is there always that person in all the good, and when can we forget this person!
"My lord is really blessed to be able to taste the tea ceremony of Toei." Liu Shifa said with emotion: "This tea originated in China, but it became enlightened in Dongying, and I have to say that it is my regret in China." ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "This is the character of the Dongying people, the land in Dongying is not enough to support the people, and the people can only cultivate a skill to survive." Therefore, camellia and other things are not worth mentioning in China, but they can always strive for perfection in Dongying. It's a pity that I have a lot of land and resources, and there is always one line of the 72 lines of agriculture and commerce that can survive! It can't help but say that it's a pity! ”
"Perhaps!" Liu Shifa sighed: "Any country will always have regrets that it is not as good as other countries, but in my country, at least I can eat rice and vegetables, and I don't have to eat raw fish like the people of Dongying!" ”
"I'll give you this tea set! Anyway, staying with me is also a pearl secret investment! Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly.
Liu Shifa said: "I'm ashamed, I haven't made an inch of meritorious service, how dare I be so rewarded by adults?" ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "These people who came with me are all from Central China, and the tea ceremony is a big move for us to take off our pants and fart, if you can't accept it, then it will really make this thing a waste." ”
Liu Shifa saw that he didn't look like a fake, so he accepted it and said, "My lord called me to humble my job, not just to taste tea, right?" ”
Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Naturally, it is for the brothers of the six battalions in Jiujiang City?" If our army marches quickly after resting and takes him by surprise, it is expected that Jiujiang City, which has no leader, will be in chaos, and it will be able to go down with one drum at that time! If there are remnants, how about I send them to your camp? ”
"Don't!" Liu Shifa hurriedly excused himself.
Chang Zhenbang stared at him with interest and said, "If Lin Bao was here, he would have thanked me happily." ”
Liu Shifa smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that I don't know the times like General Lin Bao!" ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "Don't be angry, I know you are very dissatisfied with Lin Bao's fraudulent move to open Xingang, but don't blame him for this matter, I Chang Zhenbang instructed him to do it!" It's a pity that he was so eager to fire that he lost many of your brothers! ”
Liu Shifa said: "I didn't blame the adult, nor did I hate Lin Bao, I was just dissatisfied with my stupidity!" If it weren't for me, those brothers wouldn't have lost their lives in vain. ”
Chang Zhenbang said disapprenously: "If it weren't for you Liu Shifa, these brothers would not have survived, this is your credit, don't blame yourself too much." ”
Liu Shifa said: "The brothers of the six battalions in Jiujiang City are all my brother's subordinates, I hope that when the adults take the city, they can be spared!" ”
Chang Zhenbang sighed and said, "It's a pity that these crowds have no leader, if you don't take it as soon as possible." I'm afraid that it will harm the place, and you also know that since ancient times, the defeat and dispersion of the army have the most serious consequences! Without thunderbolts, there is no way to deter these people. Unless ......"
"Unless what? I also hope that the name of the adult will say that if the lives of these brothers can be saved, Liu Shifa will not hesitate to fight the fire! I hope the general will make it clear! ”
As soon as Liu Shifa heard that there was still a chance, he immediately prostrated in front of Chang Zhenbang and begged.
Chang Zhenbang said: "In this way, I can only appease for today's plan." I'm going to Jiujiang to appease Liu Jun, would you like to go with me? ”
Liu Shifa thought for a while and said, "The adult is so kind, he is willing to follow the adult!" ”
At that moment, Chang Zhenbang called a few personal horses, a group of five people, with three days of dry food, thousands of silver dollars, six or seven horses took advantage of the time when everyone was preparing to go out of Xingang, detour to the lake, walk across the Longkai River, and arrive at the gate of Jiujiang.
Liu Shijun fled alone, but the battalion officers of the six battalions in Jiujiang City did not know about it, so that Jiujiang City was quite stable.
After Liu Jun on the gate of Jiujiang City saw Chang Zhenbang, Liu Shifa and others, he immediately opened fire and said, "Who are you?" ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "I am Chang Zhenbang, the guard of Jiujiang Town!" ”
Liu Shifa rode his horse to Chang Zhenbang, protected him, and said: "The town guard is ready to raise a gun salute!" ”
The Jiujiang town guard is Li Chun in Beiyang, and Liu Shijun is Liu Shijun in Gan bandit, when did this guy named Chang Zhenbang come? Seeing that he was young, he would not have been promoted by Mr. Sun's rocket, thinking of this, the soldiers couldn't help but sigh. There are many innovators among the generals of the Gan bandit army, but there are not many people who are familiar with military affairs.
Although the battalion officer on duty today did not recognize Chang Zhenbang, he recognized Liu Shifa, and now the news was blocked and he did not know that he had surrendered to Chang Zhenbang, so he did not doubt him, and he was busy ordering the guards to raise their guns with both hands to salute, and Chang Zhenbang replied. Riding into the city.
The original Jiujiang Mansion is now Liu Shijun's headquarters, Liu Shifa has been here many times, along the way he shouted and raised his gun to salute, the soldiers obeyed the order to salute, since it was unimpeded, and when Chang Zhenbang entered the Jiujiang Mansion, he asked the herald to call the official seals of each battalion, everyone knew that Liu Shijun had absconded with the money, and couldn't help but hate, Chang Zhenbang asked the herald to find all the soldiers of each battalion, surrounded in front of the Jiujiang Yamen, Chang Zhenbang said: "This official came here today, especially to take in the officers and soldiers abandoned by Liu Shijun." I heard that Liu Shijun has not been paid for two months, and he has absconded with money, so unsympathetic to officers and soldiers, so greedy and despicable. It's really killable! However, the official believes that the soldiers are divided into the north and the south of the imperial court, but the money is not divided into the north and the south, and if the brothers are willing to caress them, they will be reorganized, otherwise they can be given silver money, let the brothers go home, and the time limit is ten minutes to reply. As he spoke, he took out his saber and opened the box on the table, and the silver dollar fell with it, and he took out the pocket watch from his bosom, threw it on the table with a bang, and then the battalion officers finally selected one person to come out and said, "I am willing to serve the lord." All the soldiers also shouted in unison: "Please take it in." Chang Zhenbang said with relief: "All officers and soldiers are well aware of the righteousness, enough to become the regular army of the country, tomorrow will be paid for one month, and the rest of the arrears will be made up later!" ”
When the officers and soldiers in Wenxian County arrived at Jiujiang City, Chang Zhenbang had already stabilized the morale of the army, so he used the silver dollars looted from Shahe and Xingang to reissue the food and salary, and at the same time telegraphed to the imperial court, Li Chun announced the recovery of Jiujiang.
A day later, a telegram came from the imperial court, appointing Chang Zhenbang as the temporary envoy of Jiujiang Town, and at the same time, in order to comfort Li Chun, he was appointed as the military envoy of Jiangxi. aroused the envy of everyone in Central China and attracted a lot of hatred from Beiyang deployment, but Chang Zhenbang was willing to do it and secretly planned the next step.
