As soon as it was dawn the next day, Zhao Guanhou slipped out of Jensen's room and went straight to the courtyard on the other side, ready to knock on Jiang Fengzhi's window. It's just that as soon as the person entered the courtyard, he saw Jiang Fengzhi practicing with a flower gun, and when he saw him come in, he was busy collecting his momentum. "Senior brother, so early?"

"That's, just in time to have some breakfast, and then go shopping with my senior sister, to be honest, I'm sorry, I came to Shandong once, and I haven't had a good time with you. After a few days, I will go to suppress the boxers, and the military affairs are in a hurry, so I don't have time, so I naturally have to play with my senior sister for a while today. ”

Jiang Fengzhilan went to the room to change her clothes, and after the two left the county office, she didn't notice the smell of foreign perfume on Zhao Guanhou's body, but when he came to find her, his face was extremely red under the rising sun. He lowered his head and followed Zhao Guanhou aimlessly for a long time before asking, "Senior brother, you are going to Shandong to be an official this time, what about Sister Hanzhi?" What did she do? ”

"I have enough official positions now that I can bring my family, and I want to take her over. As soon as Jensen said that he was going to come to Shandong to expand his business, the imperial court prepared a few houses in Shandong, as the office of Huabi Bank in Shandong, in fact, it was the big guy above who curried favor with Jensen and made her turn a blind eye to the matter of road money. She doesn't live in many of those houses, so it's okay to lend one out and use it as a temporary home. ”

"What about me?" Jiang Fengzhi blurted out, his eyes staring at Zhao Guanhou, at this time, it was almost time for the poor dagger to see it, whether it was success or failure, it depended on this move.

Zhao Guanhou stopped, looked at her, saw that she was shy, her eyes were full of expectation and shyness, and she was a little afraid to hear the result, and smiled slightly, "Senior sister, what do you say?" There are some things that don't need to be said, everyone should know in their hearts, Sun Meiyao is a robber, rude temperament, and good at martial arts. You said that if you don't protect Hanzhi at home, what will she do? ”

Jiang Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and then he lowered his head shyly, and stomped his feet again and again, "You...... I don't understand a word of what you're saying. Anyway, whoever wants to bully my Sister Hanzhi, I won't agree. You are always at home in the barracks, only I can protect Sister Hanzhi, whoever dares to touch her, I will play with whom. ”

"It's useless to play with your life, in short, with you, I can rest assured, Sister Hanzhi will not be lonely. But this is not done now, not at the right time. I am busy with a lot of things to do to suppress bandits and train troops. You're coming...... In short, you can't be so hasty, you have to do it like that, right? I'm not going to make a move on the house over there in Jinmen, you and Master will live in it first, and after a while, I'll settle down here, and then I'll take you over......."

Listening to what he said, it was to hold a marriage ceremony, Jiang Fengzhi was ecstatic, but when she heard the house, she was a little embarrassed. "How can it be done, that house is worth thousands of taels of silver, if you don't live in it, sell it, it's not easy for me and my father to live in."

"There's nothing bad to live in, I don't plan to sell that house, instead of being empty, it's better for you to live, and I don't have to share each other, and we will always be a family in the future." Just tell me, why did you sell Zhu Hongdeng, aren't you afraid that other boxers will take revenge on you? ”

Jiang Fengzhi shook his head, "I'm afraid he doesn't know that I told him by now." In fact, it is not considered to sell him, we have rules in the portal, and we learn martial arts, just to strengthen our bodies and defend ourselves. It is forbidden to use force to cause trouble, and disciples are not allowed to rebel. Zhu Hongdeng gathered so many people, and it was time to clean up the door after the black smoke and miasma in Shandong. He gathered a large number of people and said that he wanted to show his fists, that is, to fight, and then prepared to take advantage of this morale to attack the foreigner's residence. His boxing was taught by my grandfather, so he didn't treat me as an outsider, and even the strategy of burning the house with foreign oil was also known. If you do this, foreigners have to turn their faces, then you will be in danger? ”

When she said this, her face flushed slightly, but she still said firmly: "I and that uncle, just met for the first time, with you, but we have known each other for more than ten years, and I know who is close and who is far away. So it doesn't matter who he is, whatever is not good for you, I can't let him go first. ”

When the two said this, they understood each other's feelings, and there were more interesting things in their eyes, Jiang Fengzhi took advantage of the walk to talk about how he cooperated with Jensen and sold the boxer plan to Yuan Weiting. Those boxers lacked a sense of confidentiality, and according to the style of the rivers and lakes, they were very close to her, which allowed her to grasp a lot of important information. Even how boxers practice the law and how to form associations, she has also mastered a lot.

Zhu Hongdeng relied on the support of the government, did not regard the officers and soldiers as enemies, arranged the whole army, and sold Jiang Fengzhi to the government. Yuan Weiting took it straight with elite soldiers, and naturally suffered a big defeat, and he himself was also instructed by Jiang Fengzhi to capture the official army. It's just that these things are all in the hands of fake officials and soldiers, and Mrs. Jenson has passed the message, and outsiders have no way of knowing, and she is not worried about being exposed. Even if the sincere monk escaped, it would not do her any damage.

After breakfast, the two wandered around the city again, buying some souvenirs and toys to take home. The entry of 10,000 troops into the city is a great business opportunity for Zaozhuang. These soldiers of the right army are not comparable to the beggar troops under Yuxian, and they usually do not deduct military salaries, and they are paid a month's military salary as a pulling fee before departure, each of them has a few taels of silver, and they must pay in full for shopping, and they are the best fat sheep in the eyes of merchants.

It is a merchant from four towns and eight towns, all with non-staple foods, vegetables and fruits, and even all kinds of local goods, into the city to sell. Several foreign companies have also opened to accept customers, and even some Tuchang are also peddling themselves.

Zhao Guanhou negotiated several businesses, especially the mining business negotiated by Hoover, he earned a lot of commissions alone, and he had a lot of money, and in Zaozhuang, it was not unaffordable to buy some precious jewelry and clothes for Jiang Fengzhi. But the problem is, given who she is and how she socializes on a daily basis, these things don't fit her. If you send this, you will only have luxury, but not care, so you choose exquisite workmanship and not very conspicuous objects. This kind of gift is not costly and careful, which makes Jiang Fengzhi very satisfied.

The two walked out of a foreign store, Jiang Fengzhi gently touched the foreign cloth and clothes she bought, and then looked back at the house of the foreign company, "If it weren't for Lord Yuan to bring troops, this house would have been burned, and the boss wouldn't have survived." In their calculations, they wanted to light a fire in the entire Zaozhuang and burn foreign ghosts. That day's fire is foreign oil, and when the fire burns, a city will be finished. Even if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to be so ruthless. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "Senior sister did the right thing, thanks to you, the situation in Shandong was preserved." This errand, they all said that my credit was the first, but in fact, it was my senior sister who gave the most credit. These boxers also have many wrongs, or have their own grievances, but no matter what, what Shandong wants at the moment is that the world is peaceful and peaceful with foreigners, so they have to suppress it. These people are the same people as the senior sister, you are here, both sides are not good people, let you go back to Jinmen, so as not to make it difficult for you to be a person. When the bandits here are over, everything will be fine. ”

Jiang Fengzhi smiled, "I understand your intentions, junior brother, and I won't blame you for anything, you are in the public gate, you can't help yourself, you just need to be careful." I can't talk about other things like so many subordinates. You accompany me today, the grandson of your family...... Will you be unhappy? I saw her performance in front of Lord Yuan yesterday, she was very rude and rude, and there was a standard that she didn't want, she had to be a pipe band, and it seemed that her brain was not very good. If you start a temper, I'm afraid it will be enough for you. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled: "Senior sister, you are wrong. Sun Meiyao She is not stupid, the reason why she was presumptuous and rude in front of Lord Yuan was actually deliberate, just to let Lord Yuan treat her as a martial artist and not be careful. As for saying that she doesn't want to be standard, just the pipe belt. That's because she knows that her capital is small, and if she is a standard system, she will have to be incorporated into other troops in large numbers, and the government will also send a group of people to the military officers. Now to make this pipe band, she uses her old department, and then there is the strongman of Zhao'an, she can master this team, which is much more useful than a standard. This woman has a lot of eyes, but I only tell you this, don't spread it out. ”

Jiang Fengzhi realized that Sun Meiyao had so many hearts, but in comparison, she was still the most simple, and in the Zhao family in the future, the road she had to take seemed to be very long. Although the foreigners were appeased this time, the extermination of the bandits could not be delayed as in the past, the military situation was urgent, and Zhao Guanhou did not have much time to get along with Jiang Fengzhi.

After the turn of the day, Jiang Fengzhi boarded the return train and returned to Jinmen, on the train, thinking that her expectations were finally going to be realized, she couldn't help but smile on her face.

Yuan Weiting's reward was given not long after Jiang Fengzhi left. Because of the proper handling of this time, Tezhen removed the squire of the Ministry of Works, the right deputy envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, added the title of palace, and rewarded the court.

With his young body, he was able to become a provincial minister, which is a rare achievement. It's just that after he got Longzi to look back at Shu and became a minister of Xinjiang, he wanted to go further. And if you want to go further, you have to make meritorious contributions. As far as Shandong is concerned, the greatest contribution is the suppression of bandits. Soon after the arrival of his reward, Shandong began a large-scale crackdown on bandits.

The people of Ludi are fierce, coupled with the implementation of horse politics, the people of Shandong have more horses, and among the people, there are many people who are proficient in horsemanship. It is because every year of disaster, there are many loud horses and strongmen in the green forest, relying on the horses and guns, coming and going like the wind, and the officers and soldiers are difficult to control. The other way of bandits, that is, the boxers, although they are not as fierce as the Xiangma bandits, but they are better because of the large number of people, the large number of people, and the enemy of foreigners, more beware than horse thieves.

The Sun family was recruited, Sun Guiliang got the position of the band, and Sun Meiyao was actually in charge of the army, which was equivalent to the horse bones that Yuan Weiting bought with a thousand gold. Let the people in the green forest of Shandong see a way out.

Since ancient times, it has been the experience of people in the rivers and lakes to be recruited to kill people and set fires to be recruited. Now that the right army of Wuwei is strong, it can't find a cheap fight against the official army, and recruiting an army has become a choice for such a strong man.

Moreover, this cavalry battalion of Zhao'an was originally born in the green forest and knew everything about the rivers and lakes. Which cottage is rich and which is barren, it is very clear that it will not be a loss-making transaction. As for those secret mountain roads, they will buy the corresponding minions in the cottage and investigate them clearly in the morning. Since the person from the green forest was recruited, he was particularly ruthless when he killed his peers in the past, and Sun Meiyao was also married to her husband, and the word ruthless was a little heavier.

Less than a month after the formation of her cavalry battalion, she had already leveled all the cottages around the original Baoqianggu, either recruiting or sweeping them one by one. Those who are willing to recruit are naturally led to drag the minions down the mountain, and then select and eliminate them according to the standards of the vanguard, which is far stricter than the selection of minions in the green forest.

A small village with dozens of people, cut down, maybe the owner of the village can only be a shed, there is nothing left in the minion, but also to deploy each other, the soldiers do not know the generals, will not know the soldiers. The meat tickets in the cottage will naturally be released, and only 20% of the money, food and materials can be left, and the rest will be handed over and controlled by Sun Guan.

For such harsh conditions, some people were dissatisfied and refused to recruit An, but immediately, they were beaten by the official army. Whether it is a secret road or an ambush, it is useless for Sun Meiyao, who is familiar with the situation, as for the walled wall of the cottage, no matter how strong it is, as long as a few foreign cannons are erected and a few rounds of solid bullets are fired in a salvo, Bao Zhun is a big mouth, and then it is a one-sided massacre.

Later, several cottages who refused to give in joined forces to fight, and took the initiative to hit Sun Meiyao in an ambush, but she didn't expect that in her cavalry battalion, there was an infantry post assigned to her by Zhao Guanhou.

Seeing the snow-like bayonets, the bandits all lost their souls, and the defeated ones who threw their knives and guns retreated, and several village owners were all beheaded, and everything in the village was confiscated. With this lesson from the past, the people in the green forests in the entire Mengyin area either obediently surrendered, or they had to send someone to give Sun a heavy gift, begging her to raise her noble hand, make it convenient, and take the brothers to change places to sweep, leaving a way for the old brother to live.

Looking at the gift list sent by several big leaders, Sun Meiyao couldn't help humming a little tune proudly, and put the small cigarette pouch to her mouth. "These people have saved a lot of money, and this time, at least one-third of their net worth has been knocked out. With this money, the master can recruit troops and buy foreign guns and artillery. In charge, you see that our daughter-in-law is not married for nothing, and it is not much worse than your foreign mother-in-law. ”

Zhao Guanhou was afraid that she would lose Jingzhou carelessly, and during the newlywed period, it was because of the heat that she had not been separated for too long, so she deliberately brought an artillery battalion to support her, and by the way, let her subordinates train. Seeing her like this, Zhao Guanhou shook his head

"I told you, smoking less cigarette pouches won't do you any good. Don't compare with Jensen, when people use their pens, they are hundreds of thousands and 200,000 silver, which is much faster than you can be robbers. Like you buy weapons and Yanmar, you don't have to rely on her, don't treat her as an enemy. ”

"She robbed my man, I don't treat her as an enemy, do I treat her as a relative, joke. I'll smoke! Sun Meiyao said as she puffed a cigarette into Zhao Guanhou's face as if demonstrating, and then put the salute sheet away

"Almost, I still know about this area, and that's all there is to it for this place. No matter how much I scrape, I can't scrape any oil and water, and there are a few mountains left, so I can keep them. The chase was too strong, so they ran to Henan or Huaishang, and when they came back in the future, it is estimated that they will be even more ruthless. Anyway, I told them that they were not allowed to move the railway, and the purpose of protecting the road was achieved. But my soldiers, and the guns in my hands, still have to find a way.
