Qin Chuan's muzzle pointed at Lu Benyuan, and several soldiers who were running over to help Lu Benyuan get up thought that Qin Chuan had made a killing move, and they were so frightened that they ran away quickly, and Lu Benyuan also rolled his eyes and fell on his back on the bluestone pavement again, and he didn't know whether it was real or fake, and he passed out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether it was true or not, Qin Chuan decided not to pay attention to Lu Benyuan anymore.

Qin Chuan stepped forward slowly, standing still in front of the large group of Sheng troops, and Leng Sensen's gaze swept towards the Sheng officers and soldiers who were tightly pressed by Rulin's bayonets. These Sheng officers and soldiers, no matter which one they were, could not help but feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts when Qin Chuan's gaze swept by.

Sheng Jun never expected that this God of Wealth-like figure would be so resolute, and he would be even more reckless than a reckless martial artist, and he would dare to shoot at the second-class members of the imperial court without any scruples!

Such a character, if the guy who doesn't have long eyes annoys him at this time, it won't be as simple as hitting the top and shooting the horses.

And the officers and soldiers of the Yan Regiment looked at Qin Chuan with different eyes, they used to look at Qin Chuan, and their eyes were more envious and awe-inspiring, but now in everyone's eyes, there is more respect.

Qin Chuan's terrifying gaze stopped on a sentry officer whose head was wrapped indiscriminately with a bloodstained white cloth.

This sentry officer was none other than the one who was greedy to snatch the Yantuan horses in the horse factory, and when he saw Qin Chuan's cold gaze stop at him, his heart suddenly tightened with fright, and his legs were so weak that he could barely stand. He knew in his heart that Qin Chuan was in big trouble today, and losing his official position and ruining his fortune was probably a trivial matter, just shooting and injuring Shangguan was enough to kill Qin Chuan for half his life. Lest this salt head hate him, the initiator, and want to take out his anger on him.

Just when this sentry was worried about dying, Qin Chuan asked Du Baozhong word by word without looking back.

"Company Commander Du, is this person stealing our horses?"

Du Baozhong turned around and looked around, and pointed with the shell gun in his hand: "Li Erniu, come here, let's see if this rabbit cub robbed your war horse?" ”

A sturdy soldier with a saber and a bruise on his forehead came to him and pointed to the sentry officer: "Company commander, it's him, it's this rabbit cub who wants to rob our war horse." ”

As soon as he saw that he was recognized, the sentry officer couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan said in a calm tone: "Say, why do you want to rob our horses? ”

Although Qin Chuan's expression did not show the slightest resentment, and his tone was also light, in the ears of the sentry officer, it was like a war drum ringing in his ears, making the sentry officer's heart beat violently. Because of the fright, the sentinel's face turned pale and he couldn't speak with his mouth open.

Seeing that the sentry officer was silent, the angry Du Baozhong picked up his right hand and pulled the long barrel of the shell gun in his hand into the sentry officer's face. The sentinel instinctively folded his head in his hands and closed his eyes, waiting to take the blow.

It's just that the barrel of Du Baozhong's gun did not fall on the sentry, but was blocked by the rifle in Qin Chuanyi's hand for him.

"Put your hands down and don't be afraid."

Qin Chuan still said in a light tone: "As long as you tell the truth, I won't be difficult for you." ”

The sentry officer put down his hand, but he still didn't dare to speak, and his frightened eyes couldn't help but peek at Qin Chuan's face and the shell gun in Du Baozhong's hand.

"Grandma's, don't talk again, watch Lao Tzu discount your dog's legs."

Chu Yunfei, who had long been impatient, reached out and snatched a rifle from a nearby soldier, turned the butt of the rifle and was about to fight.

"I said." The sentinel shouted in a trembling voice as he dodged.

Seeing Chu Yunfei put down the rifle in his hand, the sentry lowered his head and trembled, and said with a crying voice: "Lord Qin, you don't remember the villain, you are all a lowly and confused person for a while。。。。。。 ”

"Why are you robbing horses?"

Qin Chuan interrupted the sentry's words and still asked.

"Also。。。。。。 It's not that you lost your gambling and owe gambling debts, that's 。。。。。。 ”

Qin Chuan nodded and asked, "How much do you owe?" ”

"Thirty taels."

"Grandma, you kid want to rob the horses of Lao Tzu when you lose money in betting?"

Hearing that this sentry officer had the idea of the salt ball horses because he lost the money, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but scold again.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly: "You are a sentry officer, and you only have a few dozen taels of silver a year, and you have lost so much in this New Year, it is no wonder that you are interested in getting rich." ”

Qin Chuan turned around and said to Gao Ying, who was still holding a gun, "Take a hundred oceans." ”

Qin Chuan's words made Gao Ying stunned, but looking at Qin Chuan's eyes, he confirmed that he had heard correctly.

Although he didn't know what Qin Chuan was going to do when he took the ocean, he hurriedly inserted the shell gun in his hand into the armed belt around his waist, opened the briefcase on his side, took out a letter from the ocean, and handed it to Qin Chuan.

It's just that Qin Chuan didn't take the ocean, but shook his head and motioned for Gao Ying to hand over the ocean to the sentinel.

wants to give money to this culprit who caused today's trouble, which made everyone present stunned.

Qin Chuan frowned slightly, glared at Gao Ying and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't do what I say. ”

Gao Ying didn't dare to slack off at this time, and stepped forward to stuff the ocean in his hand into the hands of the even more surprised and stunned sentinel.

The sentry officer tightly held the hard ocean, and looked at Qin Chuan even more at a loss.

Qin Chuan said lightly to the sentry: "This hundred oceans, in addition to letting you pay off your gambling debts, the extra should be regarded as compensation for you, after all, we also injured you." ”

"Well, you have to promise me one condition, that is, to write down the truth about your horse robbery, and then sign it. Chief of Staff Zhou, go get a pen and paper. ”

Zhou Dajing had already understood what Qin Chuan meant, and happily responded and turned around to make arrangements.

Seeing the embarrassment on the sentry's face, Qin Chuan also lowered his face, staring at the sentry's cold gaze full of murderous intent, and said word by word.

"Company Commander Du, if he doesn't do what I say, he will break both of his legs, so that he won't behave badly in the future."

Qin Chuan Leng Sensen's tone was full of murderous intent, and when he heard this, the sentry officer couldn't help but tremble, and Ling Ling shivered.

"Yunfei."

Qin Chuan said to Chu Yunfei: "Let these Sheng Jun brothers form a team, find a few baskets and pack all the belongings they have robbed." Then they searched all of them, and as long as they had more than one or two pieces of silver, they were all collected, and they were all packed together. ”

"That's right."

Qin Chuan shouted Chu Yunfei, who was about to run to Zhang Luo: "Call the medical company, and bandage our people and these injured Sheng Jun brothers." ”

In the scuffle just now, not only most of the Sheng army were injured, but also many of the people in the Yan Tuan were injured, so they didn't care about it just now, but it was necessary to bandage it now, but they also had to bandage Sheng Jun, which made Chu Yunfei a little reluctant. Chu Yunfei was about to speak, but was glared at by Qin Chuan, Chu Yunfei snorted reluctantly and agreed, and walked to make arrangements.

Qin Chuan turned around and called Li Mingfang, Xu Xifang, and Ye Xilai, who were still nervously looking at the door of the dyeing factory: "Don't be idle, a few of you." ”

"Lao Li, you can arrange to make a record of the losses of our own house and all the shops that were robbed on East Street, and then write a statement in the name of the East Street Administration to sue Lu Benyuan, the chief soldier of Chongqing Town, for looting. This pleadings should be made in duplicate, and these merchants should be named on the pleadings and delivered to the envoy Zhou Daren and the governor of Zhili, respectively. ”

When Qin Chuan said this, Li Mingfang, Xu Xifang, and Ye Xilai all understood what Qin Chuan meant, and the gloom on their faces was greatly reduced, and they hurriedly agreed to go to Zhang Luo Qinchuan to explain the errand.

Not only Beiyang, but at this time, the cavalry establishment in various places was slightly smaller than that of the infantry, and the establishment of the first infantry battalion was 505 people, with one battalion officer. It is divided into four posts, each post has one hundred and eight people, and there is a sentry officer and a sentry commander, and each post is divided into eight teams, each team has twelve to fourteen people. Including the battalion officer's personal soldiers, the battalion has a total of 38 teams. Among them, there are two teams of mountain splitting artillery, eight teams of guns, nine teams of small guns, and nineteen teams of knives and spears. In addition, there were a hundred and eighty long husbands.

Although each battalion consisted of 511 men, there was one battalion officer and one assistant. It is divided into five sentinels, one hundred and two people per post, one main and one deputy sentinel, and the number of people is larger. However, there were only 50 Ma Yong in one outpost, and there were 5 scattered Yong sheds, each with 10 people. In addition, there were eighty-one men and long-term husbands. A horse battalion of more than 500 people actually had only 276 horses. In other words, only 276 people in the first battalion of the Beiyang horse team were real cavalry.

The so-called long husband is similar to an auxiliary soldier, and to put it bluntly, he is a porter, a groom, and a miscellaneous worker. Therefore, the full strength of the cavalry of the five battalions of the Sheng army was close to 1,400 people. Just because it is not wartime, the lack of personnel is certain, and this is also a major feature of the Qing army. In addition, it is just in time for the Chinese New Year, and many soldiers are still going home, and there are only half of the people in the barracks at most.

This time, Lu Benyuan had the intention of fighting a big fight, and he poured out of the nest, and all the cavalry at the head of the five battalions under his command were brought by him, and there were nearly 600 people and horses.

Now these cavalrymen, under the pressure of bayonets by the soldiers of the Yan Regiment commanded by Chu Yunfei, the five battalions of the Sheng Army quickly stood in a row with their own horses in each battalion, and then the officers and soldiers of the Yan Regiment who were divided into more than a dozen groups began to search the bodies of these Sheng Army cavalrymen one by one, and even carefully checked the saddles on the horses they were holding aside.

Behind the officers and men of the Salt Regiment who were in charge of the search were a part of the Salt Regiment's medical company, which gave anti-inflammatory medicine to those whose heads were bleeding or whose arms and legs were pierced with bayonets, and then bandaged their wounds with snow-white gauze that the cavalrymen had never seen before.

After they formed a team, the section of the road between the dyeing factory and the Aurora Bank was littered with horses of silk and satin, colored cloth, fur clothes, cigarettes, large pieces of bacon, ham, and even a dozen boxes of canned food and half a fan of pork.

These things were packed into dozens of baskets by the soldiers of the salt regiment.

When the money and belongings of these cavalry of the Sheng Army were collected, not only many oceans were found from them, but also gold vouchers issued by the Aurora Bank, silver bills of various denominations, as well as a large amount of property such as gold and silver jewelry and jade.

Most of these cavalrymen of the Sheng Army are very knowledgeable, and they know that the situation in front of them is different, and they are found to have money and belongings hidden everywhere on their bodies, but they just default to bad luck.

However, there are also those who are unwilling, and occasionally there will be some disputes. These people will swear to the dozens and hundreds of cash silver, hundreds of silver tickets, and gold and silver jewelry found from them, that these silver money and property without names were originally their own, and even for the dozen or so pieces of gold and silver jewelry, jade pendants, and jade bracelets found from one of them at one time, these Sheng Jun will also say that these things are things that have been handed down by their ancestors for eighteen generations. In a word, they refused to admit that they had stolen these things.

Whenever they encountered this situation, the soldiers of the Salt Regiment, who were still resentful, did not say a word, and directly fought with a few rifle butts until the other party stopped arguing.

Although there is a lot of trouble in this matter today, it can be said that it is a big crime of two fierce battles, but he has obtained all the stolen goods, and there are the certificate named by the merchant, as long as these things are handed over, they should be enough to pass the test with Li Hongzhang.

Qin Chuan was bowing his head and thinking silently, but suddenly heard from a distance the dense and rapid sound of horse hooves that can only be seen by the cavalry galloping in the distance was coming in his direction, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. (To be continued.) )
