Chapter 326: Liaodong Journey

The deception of Cheng Yue, in a sense, the effect is still obvious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore leaving, Cheng Yue specially invited Ren Sheng, Yang Futian and several other members of Cheng Gongting's love generals at home, and thanked and entrusted them in person. Please remember your father's face, but also be loyal to your husband, and work together to build a great achievement.

Everyone saw the young lady touching her stomach with one hand and saying these words at the same time, which was obviously a good situation for the husband and wife to be harmonious and the husband and wife to sing. Originally, I was worried that the young lady would be bullied by the main room as a concubine, and my own department would not be looked down upon, as long as the battle was effective, I would not worry about military merits, and my morale would be greatly boosted.

In the eight battalions this time, the original artillery standard troops mobilized one battalion of cavalry artillery and five infantry battalions, all of which were mobilized Huaiyong, and the other was Zhao Guanhou's Mini rifle sentry plus an engineer post and a lightning squad to form a mixed guard battalion.

Nominally, they went to serve as a guard for the Xu Ju people, but when they arrived outside the pass, they might have to change their military uniforms and flags and cooperate with the Fusang people to fight, and everyone was also aware of it. Although Ren Sheng and the others were a little resistant to helping the Fusang people fight, the awkwardness in their hearts finally decreased slightly at the thought of fighting the Tiele people. In Jinmen that day, although Cheng Gongting was killed in battle with the Fusang people, the Tiele people harmed Jinmen far more than the Fusang people. Thinking of the scene at that time, everyone also had one thought, revenge and show strength.

Especially the general Ben, who was born in a **** standard, has a lot of ridicule for Huaiyong, thinking that it is the old army, even if he has good guns and cannons, he can't fight. The reason why he was able to become an officer was because his own young lady gave birth to a son to the commander. Even some of the more unbearable words have also spread in the army.

Therefore, before this expedition, Ren Sheng and Yang Futian had already gathered the officers and secretly ordered: "This expedition, those who are selected, will be taken care of by those who have not gone on the expedition at home. Ever since they sent out the army, they have treated themselves as dead. When encountering the enemy, one person retreats, the whole team is killed, and one army retreats, and the whole team is killed. The commander retreated, and the soldiers were beheaded. If anyone escapes from the battle, don't count us as the children of the Huai Army, and don't think about making up the name for the next generation in the family. Whoever dares to escape without permission and betray the Lord, when we come back in the future, we will go to his hometown to burn his house and dig up his ancestral grave! ”

On the other hand, Shang Quan also invited Zhang Huaizhi, Huo Qiu and a few other people who were going to go on the expedition, "If Aunt Cheng gives birth to a son for our adults, the waist of these Huaijun disciples will be even harder." If you want to deal with them, you have to see them on the battlefield, although we have few people this time, but they are the basic troops of adults. We can't lose our face, and if anyone commits a mistake on the battlefield, they will immediately enforce battlefield discipline. If you lose face, hehe, don't blame us for being ruthless. Whoever loses to it can't lose to those brothers-in-law. ”

In the factory, Meng Siyuan has been rushing to work continuously, rushing to make new military uniforms for 5,000 people, and new bedding has come out, which makes Zhao Guanhou both grateful and a little moved. Especially when I heard that in order to catch up with these things, Meng Siyuan stayed awake for three consecutive nights, personally worked overtime with the workers, and almost fainted, which made me feel even more guilty.

Meng Siyuan said: "Fourth, if you want to say a word of thanks to me now, I will clap my hands and leave immediately, none of us know anyone." We are brothers, and we can't talk about who helps whom, and we can't talk about who thanks whom. Your business is my business, and my business is yours. Especially this time, you are going outside to fight foreigners for the sake of the country and the nation, and I am powerless to help you go into battle to kill the enemy. But the logistics factory, with me, will not bother you. ”

Zou Xiurong, the chief of the grain station, used this time to re-examine the account books to ensure that there were no omissions and also to ensure that the military resources of the former army were used to the greatest extent.

In terms of Siheng, Dong Jun personally accompanied the army to help set up the grain station, and brought all the silver from the town house from Shanxi, which was extremely large, which can be said to be a ruin. Aunt Jin discussed with him as a concubine, and at the beginning, the Western businessman Da Shengkui followed Zuo Ji Gao to break into the camp, laid down the brand of the Western businessman, and made the business all the way to the northwest. This time to break into the eastern part of the country, for Dong Jun, it is also an opportunity to catch up with the camp. If the investment is large, the return will be great, and this treasure will have to gamble on the future.

Dong Jun analyzed the gains and losses from the perspective of a businessman, and felt that what his mother said was very reasonable. If Siheng can open the semicolon outside the customs, set up a money store in the three eastern provinces, exchange and pump, and purchase medicinal materials and leather goods, it is an excellent business.

What he didn't know was that his concubine, Aunt Jin, a cold-faced widow who always had a cold face and frightening eyes all day long, quietly made a few pairs of shoes for Zhao Guanhou and ordered her henchmen to send them to Zhao Guanhou's hands. These shoes are the right size and size, just like a woman's heart, Zhao Guanhou had to hide the shoes quietly, and secretly said "Bad fate." ”

Before leaving Beijing, Shi Gege wrote a letter to his brother-in-law, Nawang, asking Nawang to take care of the family and provide convenience for Zhao Guanhou. Her brother-in-law, Nayantu, is the hereditary prince of Wairouran, and he is extremely influential and appealing in Wairouran. Shigege had a cold relationship with his sister in the past, and he was no better off with this brother-in-law, so he could only be regarded as a nodding acquaintance, and there was no contact.

But her current identity has changed from Jue Luo Chan, who doesn't care about heaven and earth, to the ten masters who can talk around the queen mother and Li Lianying. Between sisters, naturally, they have changed from passers-by to close relatives, and together with this brother-in-law, they have also become excellent relatives. The king had no objection to her, not to mention that it was a matter of the court's plan, and the king did not have the courage to refuse. It is said that a letter has been sent to the chief steward outside his gate, ordering him to do his best to repay the service, and to provide food for the horses, including a guide. With his care, the troops should not be too sad when they arrive outside the customs.

The other one who was transferred was the big sword king five, who had already served as a martial arts instructor in the former army. At the beginning, his bodyguards had been walking the line outside the Kanto for a long time, and he had dealings with the redbeards, big businessmen, and government offices in the Kanto region. Unlike Beizhili, the customs are sparsely populated, and the royal method is far less useful than the knife method. In the countryside, Redbeard's power is above the government, Wang Wu is a dart, and he has a lot of dealings with this cadre, which is back outside the Guan, and it is also being used.

He was the front station, and he had already brought a few capable disciples to set off first, and Zhao Guanhou's brigade was also fully prepared and was about to leave.

On the eve of departure, he stayed at Su Hanzhi's place as usual, and as soon as it got dark, he had already gone to the bedroom, changed into his regular clothes, and teased his infant daughter in his arms. Holding it high in his hand, he said with a smile: "Call Dad...... Call Daddy. ”

The child didn't know that he was afraid, but let out a giggling sweet smile, which made Zhao Guanhou even rarer, after all, in the previous life, he didn't have any children of his own. Now, looking at the lovely daughter and the lover behind him, there is a feeling that life is like this, and the husband has no more to ask for.

Su Hanzhi came over and slapped him lightly on the back of the head, "Put it down, pay attention to my girl's head." ”

"I have so much strength, how could I fall on our fat girl, fat girl, do you say what Dad said is right?" Zhao Guanhou put the child down as he said and kissed him on the little face.

"Look at you, give the girl a nickname and a fat girl, my girl will not be fat in the future." Su Hanzhi snatched the child from his hand, coaxed her for a while, gently put it on the rocking car, and pushed her back and forth to coax her to sleep. Coaxed and said

"Feng Zhi can't go to Guanwai with you this time, you know her temper, she is very frizzy and not old. Uncle Jiang died at the hands of foreigners, and I was afraid that when she saw those Tiele people, she would go up desperately to play with her life. She has kung fu on her, ordinary people can't hold her, knives and guns have no eyes, in case I bump her, I'm scared. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister, you just need to convince her. Sister Fengzhi has a big temper and is more sensitive, so I'm afraid she will be unhappy. ”

"She has me there, you don't have to worry about it, I have made it clear to her, and she agreed. Fengxi will go with you, I will have someone by my side to protect me, and I will not be bored with her as my companion. ”

Zhao Guanhou was stunned, "Fengxi? Don't make a fuss, I have cooks in the army, so I don't need to bring a cook. ”

Su Hanzhi sank his face, "What, didn't you listen to me?" You promised that I would be in charge of everything at home. If you don't listen to me, my sister won't care about you in the future. ”

"Don't ...... I'll listen, I'll not listen. Whoever you ask me to bring, I promise you. It's her daughter's house, which is not too convenient. You let her pay more attention to herself, I have a lot of things to do in the barracks, so I may not take care of her. Besides, the team is full of men, and she is not like Meiyao who is an officer, and she does not have her own house, which is inconvenient. ”

"She doesn't have a house...... I'll sleep with you. Su Hanzhi's back was to Zhao Guanhou, and he couldn't see her expression, he could only hear her voice calm and unwavering. It is also common for a girl to be taken in by the owner. If you don't like her, let her sleep under your feet, it's a matter for the two of you, I don't care. ”

"Sister, I really have nothing to do with her. I swear to God, I haven't touched her heart, I haven't touched a finger of her. ”

"I know, that's why I let her serve you. She has kung fu in her, she can take care of herself, and she can cook good dishes, and her heart is also very careful. Besides, there are many people outside the border who ran from Shandong to survive, and if she went there, maybe it would be helpful to you. Again...... She promised me that the child she gave birth to would recognize me as a mother. ”

The girl had fallen asleep, Han Zhi's voice gradually became smaller, a pair of good-looking big eyes stared hard, and his tears were blocked back. I can't cry myself...... It is unlucky for a husband to cry before he goes on an expedition. She only gritted her teeth, let Zhao Guanhou carry her back to the bed, and said softly:

"I don't care what you do to Feng Xi, I just want to give her a chance, and give myself a chance. Look at it, that's what Siheng does, the housewife is afraid that she won't be able to hold back her husband's heart, so she gives her intimate maid to her husband, so that Aunt Jin can be the shopkeeper. I'm doing this for Feng's liking, and it's also for myself, you say...... Am I bad? ”

In the room next to him, Feng Xi had already packed the package he was carrying, and an iron rod was placed beside him, and he could walk with the package picked. The clothes on the body were carefully sewn and sewn with needles and threads, and if you wanted to tear them with external force, it would become very difficult. Of course, this will make her more laborious when it is convenient, but in this way, it is better than eating a man's loss. She quietly touched the dagger in her arms, and secretly thought: If this villain is going to do bad to me while Madame is not in sight, I will let you know that it is powerful!

In the early morning of the next day, the team set out from Jinan, first Sun Meiyao's horse team, followed by artillery, because of the lack of opportunities for large field battles, only two twelve-pounder guns were carried, and six-pounder guns were not carried, and the troops mainly carried light artillery such as two-pounder and three-pounder guns. Rao is like this, the appearance of these cannons glowing with metallic light still makes the people who watched the troops pull out, and they couldn't stop talking, and praised: "This is the system of the officers and soldiers, and this is the appearance of a soldier." ”

When this army arrived in Zhili, it first joined the Cao and Li battalions, and only after arriving at the place did it realize that Xu Ju did not move for the time being, and they would have to wait a few days before setting off. In the past few days, there are many literary friends who want to come to serve him, of course, there are also a lot of entertainment on the eight lines to do, maybe a few cannons will be put up, showing his majesty.

The troops set out from Jinmen, boarded the ship from Tanggu, and went to Guanwai, taking advantage of the fact that the port had not frozen, and still had time to land. Everyone hired Albian's merchant ships, and Albian's consul also came forward to take care of them, and the merchants entertained them very ceremoniously, arranged a large dining room for several presiding officers, and even served by Tianzhu's belly dancers. It's just that the dancer didn't wait to enter Zhao Guanhou's room, and was beaten out by Feng Xi and Sun Meiyao.

Cao Zhongkun and Li Xiushan didn't mess with the dancers, and after arranging the troops, they came to Zhao Guanhou's cabin. Although they did not work under Zhao Guanhou, the brothers did not have a relationship.

Everyone understands the truth here, both of them are brothers, if they run errands under their own brothers, no matter how big or small the official is, it is not very suitable. Cao Zhongying and several children of the Li family have made a fortune in Shandong recently, and they are taken care of by brothers, and this favor cannot be missed.

Taking advantage of the break in the march, the three of them met their heads, and when they saw that each other was wearing brand-new military uniforms and dark cloaks, they looked at each other and laughed.

Cao Zhongkun said: "Thinking about the first two years, our buddies didn't wear so much. That is, the old three lines, the family has money, you can wear a little better, I am just a cotton jacket, and I have to be careful not to lose face, that is my system of a pipe belt. It's like today, waiting for Ren Biaotong, which is a blessing brought by the fourth child. ”

Zhao Guanhou hurriedly shook his head, "Big brother, don't say that, brother, two years ago, I couldn't even eat at this time, and I was still counting on fishing for the winter, for fear that I would become a lying down." If I want to talk about blessings, I also brought them to me by my brothers. ”

Li Xiushan said: "Needless to say kind words, we are kowtow brothers, sharing blessings and difficulties." Whoever mixes up is good for everyone else. Fourth, let's just say that this time let's go back to the Guanwai, Xu Juren, the governor of the three provinces, is your protector. ”

"I can't talk about insurance, but I wrote a note and showed it to Han Zhongtang."

"That's what you keep. Do you know why Lao Xu didn't come with us? First, there are a group of poor people who ask him for a literary meeting, which is the decency of a scholar. On the other hand, he is Qingliu Hanyuan, who was born on the right path, and looks down on us military attaches who were born in the last place, and does not follow us. Especially despised is you, who became the secretary from the end, after all, he couldn't get it when he wanted to be a Taoist in Shandong, but you directly taught the platform, and he was not happy. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said: "I also thought of this layer, if he doesn't go with me, he doesn't mean to fall into my favor." This is also very good, he is a person like him, he is a scholar with a temper, and he is a poor and upright. I don't want to owe me a favor, but when I get to the border, I must find an opportunity to repay my favor. No matter what I take, it won't hurt me. I won't go his way anyway, he likes to think whatever he wants, let him go. ”

A few people were talking, the door was pushed open by Feng Xi, and there was a bottle of foreign wine in the tray, plus three goblets, she served wine to the three of them, and said to Zhao Guanhou: "Master, there is news from the foreign devil here, Han Zhongtang, go." (To be continued.) )
