On April 7, a lot of notices were posted in Luzhou City, and the people were gathered together, but most of them were illiterate, and a talented person was carefully watching the contents of the notices. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A man dressed as a woodcutter asked, "Sir, I am an illiterate village man, can you tell me what is written in this notice?" ”

Xiucai said: "This notice says that it is the Huaxia Army that has captured Luzhou, and it is specially here to rescue the people who are suffering from the oppression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and living in dire straits, every soldier of the Huaxia Army will strictly abide by military discipline, will not take a stitch from the people, and will reduce the taxes of the people, whether it is for trading or farming, the military government will only collect very low taxes, and will open government-run hospitals,"

A farmer dressed as a human: "Hey, I wait for these grass people to have no land, and they want to rent the landlord's field to cultivate, even if the government collects the landlord at a low rate, the landlord will not let me wait for a grain to be paid." ”

Another farmer said, "That is, unless the government allocates us land." ”

Most of those present chimed in.

The Huaxia army suddenly came out and captured Hejiang County, and the army of more than 2,000 people sent by the imperial court was annihilated, and then Luzhou was captured again, and the Huaxia army soon shocked Sichuan, the southwest, and the whole country.

The Manchu court, which was still breathing, was shocked, and the regent Zaifeng strictly ordered Zhao Erxun, the governor of Sichuan, to exterminate the Huaxia army within 2 months.

In the new army in Sichuan, there are nearly 20,000 people in the 17th Town and the 33rd Mixed Formation, and the other local patrol battalions are much inferior in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.

A meeting was held in Zhao Erxun in Chengdu, and it was finally decided that Zhu Changlan would lead the new army of the 17th Town to encircle and suppress the Huaxia Army.

Now there are no administrative talents, and administrative talents can only be summoned in late April, Hu Zining can only select some officers to help deal with it, but soldiers are not good at handling government affairs, and he is very busy with work every day.

On this day, Hu Zining had just finished dealing with some government affairs, Bai Lingfang came over with a set of tea sets, and said, "Master, take a rest when you are tired, let Lingfang make you tea and drink, okay?" ”

"Well, that's fine."

Bai Lingfang made tea, the technique was very good, the craftsmanship was skilled, and the time and water temperature were just right.

After pouring the first cup of tea, Hu Zining drank it, only to feel that this tea was fragrant and fragrant, and the taste was mellow and refreshing, and praised: "Lingfang, your tea is good, where did you come from this West Lake Longjing?" ”

Bai Lingfang said: "The master didn't say yesterday that he liked Longjing, and when I went out with my wife in the morning, I bought a box of Longjing. ”

Hu Zining said: "Your tea-making skills are very good, where did you learn it?" ”

Bai Lingfang said: "When I was a child, because my father liked to taste tea, Lingfang began to learn tea art when she was eight years old. ”

Hu Zining said: "If Lingzun Lingtang is still there, it would be good, how old are you this year?" Haven't told me about your background yet. ”

Bai Lingfang remembered her life experience, her expression was a little sad, and said: "Lingfang is a native of Changde, Hunan, just turned 16 years old a few days ago, my father participated in the scientific examination before his death, won the Jinshi, and did the county order for more than ten years. Who knew that less than two months after returning to my hometown, I met robbers and ransacked my home, and my father and mother were killed.

After burying my father and mother, I had to come to my brother who served in the Sichuan New Army, and under his introduction, the slave and maid found a certain errand in Luzhou Zhizhou, because there was a brother, and this Zhizhou did not do anything deviant to the slave and maid. Who knew that 6 months ago, his brother was killed in a battle with the revolutionary party, and this Zhizhou began to play the idea of a slave and maid, asking the slave and maid to be his concubine, but the slave and maid resolutely refused. 5 days ago, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the Huaxia Army, the slave and maid would definitely be defiled by him that night. ”

Hu Zining comforted her: "It's okay now, follow me well in the future, you are a young lady from the county master's family, and you are too wronged to be a maidservant!" ”

Bai Lingfang said: "Although my brother had a wife at that time, he hadn't married a wife yet, and the slave didn't want to be a burden to him, so he had to be a maid. ”

Hu Zining said: "Don't always be a slave before and after the slave, in front of me in the future, call yourself 'Lingfang', or call yourself 'me' directly, when your father and mother are alive, you should have read books, right?" Can you understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? ”

When it comes to talent, Bai Lingfang is still a little confident, and said: "Master, Lingfang has read a lot of poetry books with her father and mother since she was a child, and she is also involved in music and rhythm. ”

Hu Zining didn't want a literate person to be a maid, and said, "In that case, why don't you be my secretary in the future." ”

Bai Lingfang asked, "What does a secretary do?" ”

Hu Zining said: "It is to manage some official documents, documents and the like. ”

Bai Lingfang said: "These are all errand men do, Lingfang is just a woman, how can she do these errands, if people know, how can this be done?"

It seems that Bai Lingfang is still a more traditional woman, not the kind of woman in the new era, and the secretary doesn't know anything. Hu Zining said: "I can do it if I say it, and I have the final say here." ”

Bai Lingfang said: "Since the master looks up to Lingfang, let's do what the master said." ”

At this time, the orderly walked in and said, "Report to the commander, there are two people outside, claiming to be Xiong Kewu and Yu Ying, saying that the commander-in-chief has something important and wants to meet you." ”

The people from the Alliance came to the door, and Hu Zining also wanted to meet them for a while, and said, "Let them in." ”

It didn't take long for Xiong Kewu and Yu Ying to walk in, this Xiong Kewu was very young, only twenty-five or sixteen years old, he first stretched out his right hand and said: "Commander-in-Chief Hu, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am Xiong Kewu, the head of the League in Sichuan, and this is Yu Ying." ”

Hu Zining shook hands with the two.

Xiong Kewu said: "Commander Hu, the Hejiang Uprising and the Luzhou Uprising led by you shook the land of China and overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In the past, our alliance has organized many uprisings, but they have all failed for various reasons, and I see that the soldiers of your Huaxia army are all well-equipped and energetic, and they must have made sufficient preparations in advance. ”

Hu Zining said: "That's right, our Huaxia Army has made sufficient preparations to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Mr. Xiong, you have led many uprisings, only in Sichuan led the uprisings in Guang'an, Jiading, Chengdu and other places, repeatedly defeated and battled, famous in Sichuan, and became a well-known hero." ”

Xiong Kewu smiled and said: "Commander Hu has won the award, the goal of all of us is to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish a republic, I also sent a telegram to Mr. Sun, on behalf of the League, to invite Mr. Hu to join our League and complete the great cause together." ”

Hu Zining did not want to follow these organizations that were only full of ideals but had no feasible program for the founding of the country and the governance program, although he was full of enthusiasm, but he could not solve the country's ills, and after the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the warlords were fighting and the country was torn apart.

So he pretended to be a little embarrassed, and said: "Our Huaxia Army and the League have the same goal of overthrowing the Manchu Qing, as for the issue of joining the League, let me think about it, I also have to discuss it with the officers, if the League needs help, as long as I can, I will definitely lend a hand." ”

Xiong Kewu was a little disappointed, and said: "In this case, our alliance will wait for your good news, speaking of help, our alliance is planning the next uprising, lack of weapons and ammunition, and really need your Huaxia army to support." ”

Hu Zining said: "If you want me to give away cannons and guns, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, because guns and artillery are also very difficult to raise, as for ammunition, our Huaxia Army is still relatively abundant, and we can support you." Hand. You can get 500 grenades for free, 50,000 bullets, I don't know what kind of rifle you use. ”
