Chapter 466: Powerful Soldiers and Horses (I)

The snow in winter turns into flowing water in the spring sunshine, flows freely in the mountains and fields, and has experienced the baptism of severe cold, and the flowers of thousands of branches and trees bloom one after another in spring, dotting the mountains and rivers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Qishan in spring is the season when pear trees bloom. Standing on the mountain, looking down, the mountains are all over the wilderness, white and endless, like a sea of snow. Every time it comes to this season, a cadre of literati and scholars come here to enjoy the flowers and scenery, drink and drink, and think that it is Yaxing.

Three young scribes, one in a suit and two in a long gown, both with glasses, were courteous. Wandering among the sea of flowers, attracted by the beautiful scenery, it is quite a sense of fascination. The man in the suit said: "Two brothers, the younger brother only knew that there was a Mr. Deng in Suzhou who appreciated plum blossoms and named the plum forest Xiangxuehai today. ”

"Brother Wu, you are there in Songjiang, but you can't enjoy such beautiful scenery. If you hadn't come to Shandong this time, it would have been rare for our brothers to get together. ”

"That's right, if it weren't for the abolition of the imperial examination by the imperial court and the change to a new school, at this time, we would either be in the eight-strand system, or practicing calligraphy and writing big scrolls, how could we still have Yaxing come here for a drink? How are the two brothers doing in Shandong, but are they still proud? ”

Today's party is that these two people invite one person, and the situation is naturally not as good as this friend from Songjiang, but the two of them are not discouraged, and said with a smile: "I work as a clerk in Yantai Customs, although the income is not high, but it is better to be stable." Brother Zhong Ying worked as an editor in Jinan's Minbao, and everyone praised him with a large pen, even the handsome man had seen it, and he always returned it, at least much better than at the time of the imperial examination. The three of us can't even get into the show, if we take the examination to make a name for ourselves, now I'm afraid that we can only teach a private school at most and mix a few dollars. ”

The man from Songjiang also said: "Yes, the new learning, the old learning, only then will we have the day, we will have great achievements in the future, come and toast." ”

He brought Changyu wine, which has been very popular in the Shandong market recently, and the price is not low, and the two classmates couldn't help but praise: "Brother, you are really proud in Songjiang, and you can afford to buy such an expensive wine." ”

"It's nothing, Shandong Zhengyuan Women's Bank, where my younger brother works, is very good to its employees and has a high income. As long as you follow the rules and don't want to dig into the corners, you won't worry about your livelihood. It's just that ordinary men, who first deposit the difference between men and women, are reluctant to go to the women's bank. I don't care, I work in a bank and I am considered to be careful, I was recently promoted to a manager, and the salary is good. Besides, I was ordered to escort the ship this time, and the hardship fee was fifty yuan, which is nothing. I'm telling you, our chairman, that's really a strange man. Don't look at her as a woman, even if it's a man, it's not as good as her......"

When he talks about his boss, his eyes are not full of respect for the boss, but the admiration of young men for beautiful women.

The two literary friends know in their hearts that their friends work in a women's bank, and I am afraid that the salary is secondary, and it is the main reason to get close to the beauty. It's just that my friend was born poor, how could I marry such a beautiful woman, I couldn't help but worry about my friend in my heart, I wanted to explain but had nothing to say, and I was at a loss for a while.

As he was talking, a military horn sounded in the distance, and a guard came over to convey the order: "Everyone should avoid opening the honor guard of the commander, and those who approach will be killed!" ”

The three of them were far away, but they didn't need to change places, and their attention naturally fell on the team of the big handsome. I saw that the first to come was the escort with a knife and a gun, and then behind, a man and a woman, holding a child in their arms, walking in the middle of the line. Behind them, a group of beautiful women accompanied them, and there was even a foreigner inside.

The man named Zhong Ying was the governor of the yamen, and he was well-informed, so he immediately introduced, "Brother Dingyuan, look, the beautiful woman holding the child is the author of the detective novels Rogue Luo Ping, No One Survived, Nemesis, and Detective Polo, Ms. Su Hanzhi. ”

"Oh? Is she Ms. Su? I am a fan of her books, but I thought this was a foreigner or an overseas Chinese, but I didn't expect that it was really our compatriots. Looking at her, she looks like an ordinary woman, but she didn't expect to be a talented woman. Who is the one next to her? ”

"Our governor of Shandong, Zhao Gongbao, Ms. Su is his wife. In their arms are a few young ladies and young ladies. If you look at the one wearing the flag outfit, it is Shige Ge Yuqing, who is said to be the righteous daughter of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the aunt of Zhao Gongbao, the pot-bellied one, and the proud shopkeeper Yang Cuiyu, who is also the aunt and wife of the palace guard; There is also the one who wears red, Mrs. Fengzhi, who is engaged in the National Arts Association in Shandong and advocates the rejuvenation of the country with martial arts, which is also the aunt and wife of our palace guard. ”

He pointed over one by one, and the friend from Songjiang suddenly said: "That's our chairman, Miss Chen, next to Mrs. Jensen, an important partner of our bank, why are they there?" ”

"These two are also the aunts of the palace guards, one is a foreign aunt, and the other is Songjiang's aunt, I also just met, how can I ...... She's what you call the chairman......"

The two friends looked at each other, as if they heard the sound of something shattering on the ground at the same time.

After listening to the companion for a while, he asked, "Who is it...... It's not your palace guard's wife. ”

"Yes, the fifth king of the big sword, and that Lord Sun, are not ......"

Of course, these two people don't know, and their words are only half right, Sun Meiyao is actually one of the aunts. Today's trip to enjoy the pear blossoms, she is also the protagonist.

Although he doesn't know how to write and ink, but wandering among the sea of flowers, he also has a different feeling that permeates his heart, and he can't help but say: "It's good-looking, it's really good-looking." In the past, when I ate green forest rice, I ran everywhere in Shandong, but I didn't want to come here to see the pear blossoms. ”

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "Different moods, different ideas, the same scenery, different moods, the feeling is different." When you ate green forest rice, how could you have the heart to enjoy the scenery, but now when you eat official dinner, you have this leisure. ”

As he spoke, he took Sun Meiyao's hand, and the guards, including Wang Wu, had already gone to the distance to protect them and leave this piece of world to their family. Zhao Guanhou touched Sun Meiyao's hand and said: "There are a lot of cocoons, I said, don't work too hard in training, you are a woman, you don't have to play with your life like a man......"

"I'm the standard, if I don't fight, how can the people below fight. What's wrong with women, women are not necessarily weaker than men. Although Sun Meiyao has always been more bold, she is still a little unaccustomed to being so affectionate in front of other women, so she shrunk her hand, but was held tightly by Zhao Guanhou and did not pull it back.

"Let me tell you, my cavalry is now fighting with the Cossacks, one against the other, and it is not necessarily necessary to lose. As soon as the Albion horse came this time, I fully guaranteed that each person had a good Albion horse or Don hippopotamus, and the foot strength would not suffer, and the victory and loss would be half open. In another half a year, we dare to guarantee to win the Cossacks with the same strength, and for this, a little cocoon is also recognized. ”

This batch of Albiang's military horses was purchased by Zhu Erdian, and they were transferred to Songjiang halfway, and were escorted by Chen Lenghe to Yantai Port. In addition to the horses, they were equipped with a full set of equipment, as well as a thousand Albion carbines.

Obviously, Albiang is also aware of the political turmoil in the country and the possibility of major changes in the future, and has decided to find a new partner, and these military horses and guns are the benefits.

Hearing Sun Meiyao's words, Chen Lenghe expressed his approval, "Miss Sun is right, where are women inferior to men?" Although we are at a physical disadvantage, as long as we work hard and fight tenaciously, our performance will not be worse than that of men. ”

Sun Meiyao didn't have a good impression of her, Mrs. Songjiang, and snorted coldly, "I'm not a young lady, I'm a wife, Zhao Guanhou's aunt's wife, don't make a mistake." ”

Su Hanzhi chuckled, "Sister Meiyao, don't find fault with people's words." If you want to find it, there is something wrong with what you say, what is an aunt's wife, everyone is the wife of the crown marquis, there is no aunt's wife or aunt's wife. Otherwise, I'll let them call you a beautiful aunt instead of a beautiful mother? ”

"That's not going to happen." Sun Meiyao shook her head, "I'm their mother, this can't be changed, Jingci, are you right?" As he spoke, he ran after Jingci. Chen Lenghe turned his attention back to the pear blossoms, reveled in the beautiful scenery, and grabbed Zhao Guanhou, "With such a good scenery, shouldn't we dance a dance?" ”

"As you wish."

Sun Meiyao saw the two of them dancing in the pear blossoms, and she was even more unhappy, and she couldn't wait to set a fire and burn all the pear trees. simply walked away by himself, whipped indiscriminately with a horsewhip, and when he was tired of walking, he took off his military uniform and threw it on the ground, revealing the tight jacket inside. Fortunately, there are no guards on the left and right, and they are not afraid of being looked at. The blooming pear blossom, in her eyes, turned into Chen Lenghe's face.

She's too handsome, and she's too fashionable, and I'm ...... with her There is no comparison. Sun Meiyao compared many times, and finally had to admit that she was far behind, lowered her head, and kicked the stone on the ground with her riding boots with some frustration. Maybe it was a mistake for me not to have children, but a few wives have children to defend themselves, what else do I have?

"Mei Yao, what do you want?" A hand slapped on her shoulder, Sun Meiyao subconsciously wanted to buckle her wrist, but the other party's reaction was also extremely fast, and she parried over with a few moves, and she also saw that it was Zhao Guanhou. She smashed it with a fist and said angrily, "You care about me? Go and accompany your Mrs. Songjiang, how good is it to hold that big beauty, what are you looking for me? ”

"My beautiful lady is not here, how can I not look for it?" Zhao Guanhou smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Everyone else, they have all gone to the village, it is not early, it is time to prepare a meal." I came to you on purpose, what, I'm upset. ”

"No...... I just feel that I am too ugly, my hands are so thick, I can only wear military uniforms. If you want to wear silk clothes, you can spoil your clothes at once. It's a bit of a shame to be your wife. ”

"Nonsense, how can my wife be ashamed? After a few years, I will let you regain your daughter's dress, and you will know everywhere you go that our cavalry commander in Shandong is my wife. ”

Sun Meiyao's face turned red, "It will make people happy, the court system, how can a woman be an officer, and she is not a toast." ”

"The imperial court system must have a court to be useful, and if it does not have a court, the system cannot be discussed. The Baolu Comrades Association in Sichuan has changed from petitioning, setting up a platform, and offering the tablet of the first emperor to setting fire to setting fire to rebellion. In the past few days, Duantaozhai will officially go to Huguang to order troops, and then lead the eighth town of the new army into Sichuan to investigate the chaos. The eighth town is the foundation laid by Zhang Xiangtao, and the troops use scholars, the loyalty of those people...... It's easy to go to the fourth child, but it's hard to come back. Since ancient times, the world has not been chaotic in Shu first, Shu is in chaos, the world is in turmoil, the world is shaking, this court, I don't think it may be able to hold on. When the time comes, as long as we hold our one-third of an acre of land, I will have the final say here, and let women be officers or commanders. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Sun Meiyao and sat down against the big tree, "Look, how beautiful are the mountains and rivers here?" How to give them to others. The Ge Ming Party suffered a big loss in my hands, hundreds of election fronts were wiped out, and the funds raised by more than 100,000 yuan were also proposed by us to confiscate, and I did not dare to come again in a short time. But when the chaos starts, sooner or later their soldiers will have to compete with us to decide the ownership of the territory. At that time, I'm afraid I'll be busy non-stop, and I won't have time to accompany you, so now I'm stealing half a day of leisure, taking time to play with you. After that, you have to seize the time to train the troops, and it will be difficult to enjoy such a time. ”

Sun Meiyao understood that Zhao Guanhou was currying favor with herself, hoping that she would not lose her temper, and she also smiled a little shyly

"I also know that it shouldn't be this way. She didn't provoke me, I shouldn't have lost my temper. It's just that seeing her so handsome and so foreign, I can't help but be jealous. She is so good, will there be nothing to do with us in the future...... Don't worry, I won't mess with her anymore. ”

Zhao Guanhou suddenly smiled, "Mei Yao, let me tell you a secret, I just heard that there is a small hot spring near here, and the water is warm." I cleared the field and forbade the people to come close. Let's ......"

"I'm going to kill you, what are you thinking about in broad daylight......" Sun Meiyao was ashamed and anxious, got up and left, "I...... I'll go back to the barracks and stop messing around with you. You asked your Mrs. Matsue to go to the hot springs, so that she wouldn't do that shameless thing with you. ”

Although he said his mouth, he walked very slowly under his feet, and the buttons on his chest were not fastened, revealing the scarlet clothes inside, but he didn't run a few steps, and was picked up by Zhao Guanhou from behind, "Hehe, in this part of Shandong, I can sleep with whoever I want, it's useless if you don't agree, go, go to the hot spring with this handsome." ”

Mountains, forests, rivers, wilderness. Shandong's troops were mobilized and appeared in every part of Shandong, where they began large-scale intensive training and training.

A variety of subjects, including long marches and night raids, were added to the training, and the intensity was greatly increased. In addition, when the Mini rifles, six-pounder and twelve-pounder cannons, and hand-retained ammunition transported from the south to the north arrived in Shandong via the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, four out of ten carts were detained, and forty percent of the ammunition was intercepted on the spot and entered the Shandong arsenal.

Because Zhao Guanhou also has the title of deputy minister of the Ministry of War, as soon as he is on the fold, Long Yu is accurate, so no one can blame this kind of car detention. It's just that Chaoli urged Zhao Guanhou to enter the Beijing Chamber of Commerce several times, but Zhao Guanhou couldn't forget the sentence that Xiao Dezhang intentionally or unintentionally mentioned was comparable to Han Rong, so he didn't dare to go.

Penicillin produced in Belgium is being shipped to Yantai in a ship and transferred to the warehouse. At this time, most people were largely unaware of the effectiveness of this medicine, and no one noticed that this batch was the most valuable military supply.

The soldiers of the Fifth Town and even the Second Association, although they did not say a word when they threw training bullets into the target basket or shot lead bullets into the target, most of them had a certain number in their hearts: In this way to prepare for training, this Shandong, I am afraid that they will use swords.
