Gu Yili covered her small mouth and showed an incredulous expression.

She froze in place, no longer pulling.

Alice's words left Gu Yili's mind confused, and she didn't react yet.

Li Zhen stared at Alice, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile, and said, "Get up and talk, don't kneel." "The woman in front of me was really unexpected, or a little scheming.

Alice stood up gracefully and stood in a proper manner.

Li Zhen said: "You are the person who was arranged by Ali Guo to spy on me, but now you take the initiative to say it, do you want me to forgive you, and then follow me, and take the opportunity to spy on me and tell Ali Guo about my movements?" ”

"General, Alice will never dare."

Alice pursed her lips and said, "The general has been a great grace to rescue our sisters from the devil's cave. Moreover, the situation that day was that Ali Guo asked our sisters to serve the general, and wanted to win over the general, and there was no intention of letting us leave with the general. Because the general was compassionate and suddenly offered to take us away, Aliguo temporarily informed me to monitor the actions of the adults. ”

"Although Gu Yili and I live in the mansion, we can't get in touch with political affairs, and we don't have the opportunity to listen to the news. Even if I have to monitor, I only know English, I don't know Chinese, so it's hard to succeed. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Lina suddenly took a deep breath and said, "The only opportunity to find out the news is in bed, through having a relationship with the general, you can learn the news from the general's mouth." However, the general respected our sisters very much and did not give me a chance. As a result, I didn't have a chance to find out. The general asked our sisters to go to the study, definitely trying to test us. The general has a great favor to me and Gu Yili, and I can't deceive the general, so I tell the general directly. ”

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Li Zhen clapped his palms and praised him: "What a wonderful remark, I'm afraid it was prepared early." ”

Alice suddenly became anxious and said, "General, my words are absolutely true. ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "How to prove it?" You must know that once you do things for me, and you reveal them to Ali Guo after you involve secrets, it will be a fatal blow to me. I can't afford such a loss, and I dare not choose to believe it. Your words are sincere, even convincing, but I can only choose not to believe them. ”

Alice's expression was solemn and she said, "How can the general believe it?" ”

Li Zhen stared at Alice intently, his eyes roaming up and down, as if he was considering Alice's value.

Alice gritted her teeth, made a decision in her heart, and began to untie the clothes on her body, preparing to exchange her body for Li Zhen's trust. Li Zhen stretched out his hand to stop it and said, "Don't have that kind of thought, if I wanted you, I would have done it a long time ago, and I wouldn't have waited until now." ”

When Alice heard this, she was extremely aggrieved, and even tears appeared in her eyes.

However, she felt powerless and did not know how to prove it.

Like a wounded little girl, Gu Yili stood beside Alice in a daze, silent. She thought she was living a happy and peaceful life, but who knew that it would change in the blink of an eye. The elder sister became the eyeliner of Ali Guo to monitor Li Zhen, and Li Zhen was on guard everywhere, not believing them, and the two sides became irreconcilable opposites, making it difficult for Gu Yili to accept the reality in front of her.

Alice was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "The general doesn't believe me, send me back." ”

"Sister, I can't go back!"

Gu Yili immediately grabbed Alice's hand, and her head shook like a rattle.

Li Zhen was stunned, and also showed a surprised expression.

This woman has a little courage, Li Zhen shook his head and refused, but did not agree.

Li Zhen guarded against Sister Alice, but he couldn't send the two to the tiger's mouth.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Zhen said: "Ali Guo gave you to me, and it is impossible to go back." According to the previous arrangement, I still worked in the study for a while, serving tea and water, and cleaning. I'll arrange things for you after a while. When the time comes, you will be free to do whatever you want. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhen got up and left.

When leaving, Li Zhen sighed in his heart, still soft-hearted!

If your heart is like an iron stone, you can send the two of them away directly, and you will be over. Now that Alice and Gu Yili are staying, Li Zhen must be careful. Fortunately, the matter was solved by Liu Taiping, and Li Zhencai was relieved a lot.

……

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the last day of Xianfeng's three years.

On this day, Li Zhen went to the barracks.

By this time, the barracks had already completed its reorganization. The 2,000 soldiers of the barracks were set up as a reinforced regiment, with Huang Shihai as the commander, of which 30 soldiers were a platoon, three platoons formed a company, and then a battalion. All of them were counted, but they formed six battalions. The commanders at all levels in the army are well distributed, and the soldiers have people in charge, and there will be no confusion.

Among them, Qi Zhenhai and Smith have become the lowest platoon commanders, and Yang Banhou is the deputy commander. Zhou Xiuying's 300 female soldiers were also established and became an independent battalion.

As for Yang Banhou's 120 special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion, it was a separate company.

Not only that, Lu Shaochuan and Zhu Wu also got the news of the reorganization.

During the Chinese New Year, Li Zhen obviously couldn't be with these soldiers, so he came to the barracks the day before the year to spend time with the soldiers. Li Zhen went to the barracks and gave the soldiers a shot of cardiotonic, which made the soldiers' hearts warm. From Li Zhen speaking on stage, to Li Zhen eating with all the soldiers, and after watching the soldiers' training one by one, he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Zhen sat above the rectangular conference table, with Huang Shihai sitting first on the left and Yang Banhou sitting first on the right.

Zhou Xiuying sat below Huang Shihai, and Smith and Qi Zhenhai sat below Yang Banhou.

Li Zhen said: "I looked at the soldiers in the barracks, and the reorganization in the army has been almost completed, and the speed is very fast, very good. Now that we have money, we can't be stingy, especially the more than 2,000 soldiers in the army are elite, and we can't pick on the door. During the Chinese New Year, each soldier was given a reward of 10 taels of silver to let the soldiers have a good New Year. ”

Huang Shihai said: "Marshal, although the treatment is good, there are still some ordinary soldiers in the Qing army camp. If the news of the 10 taels of silver had come out, the rest of the soldiers would certainly not have given up. ”

After the reorganization of the army, Li Zhen's title of 'general' also changed and became 'marshal'.

This title is obviously more domineering.

Qi Zhenhai said in a deep voice: "The difference in payment is naturally different. Ordinary Qing soldiers had nothing to do, just let them transport some food, and didn't let them go to the battlefield to fight, they were already serving with good food and drink, what else did they want? The soldiers of the commander are all equipped with foreign guns, and if they dare to make trouble, they will directly suppress it. A swarm of moths, long overdue for cleanup. ”

Yang Banhou said: "Dashuai, I think for the time being, I will also give each of them 10 taels of silver for the New Year." ”

Li Zhen said: "What do you think? ”

Yang Banhou said: "Moths have to be dealt with, but now is the end of the year, and we can't mess with it." As long as the marshal gives each person 10 taels of silver for the New Year, they will spread the news that the soldiers under the marshal's command have high rewards, and it will be much easier for the marshal to recruit soldiers. After the New Year, the marshal found a reason to send the unwanted soldiers to the Jiangbei camp and throw them to Qishan to deal with, so that he could recruit troops alone. ”

After Li Zhen heard this, he exclaimed: "Okay, Ban Hou is right. ”

At that moment, Li Zhen gave an order to give each soldier 10 taels of silver for the New Year.

The more than 2,000 soldiers directly under Li Zhen totaled more than 20,000 taels of silver, and more than 10,000 Qing soldiers, and more than 100,000 were consumed.

ps: Three more completed; The farmer went home and was reformed through labor.
