Chapter 41: The Dragon Enters the Sea
Li Zhen nodded and said solemnly: "I will pay attention, you have to take care." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhilan's mouth, but she was suddenly a little embarrassed.
She had already expressed her heart to Li Zhen and made up her mind to marry Li Zhen.
Now Li Zhen is about to travel far away, and I don't know when and what month we will be able to meet again, but Li Zhen is still like a wood and doesn't say anything nice, and she feels a little lost in her heart. Zhilan wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it, swallowed back again, and did not speak. Isn't that the character of the person in front of you? But she just fell in love with such a person.
Li Zhen glanced through the curtain at the carriage that was still waiting for him, and said, "Time is urgent, I'm leaving." ”
Zhilan pursed her lips and whispered, "You're leaving, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”
Li Zhen looked at Zhilan with burning eyes, thought for a while, and said, "After I return to Jiangbei Camp, I will not stay in Jiangbei Camp, and I will go to Shanghai soon." When the bandits in Shanghai are pacified and settled down, you can come to Shanghai. ”
At this moment, Zhilan's eyes shone with brilliance.
She whispered, agreed, and then took out a string of Buddhist beads in her hand from her arms, handed them to Li Zhen, and said: "This is the Buddha beads I asked Master Yuanhai of Tantuo Temple to bless, you wear it on your hand, and bless you with peace and sound." ”
Li Zhen put it on his hand, his head moved quickly, and his mouth snapped and kissed Zhilan's mouth.
In an instant, Li Zhen lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Zhilan sat in the carriage in a daze, and only recovered when Li Zhen disappeared from the carriage. She lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the carriage that had already begun to move forward, showed a look of reluctance in her eyes, and muttered: "People are not allowed, why are they sneaky." ”
……
Qi Shan took Li Zhen, Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou and his entourage out of Beijing, passed through Tianjin, entered Shandong, and finally entered Yangzhou, and returned to Jiangbei Ying.
There were no stops along the way, so it was quick to rush back.
When Qi Shan convened the generals to discuss the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals under his command found that He Ming was not there, but no one mentioned it. Wu Qigong looked at Li Zhen and asked with his eyes, but when he saw Li Zhen nodding slightly, he immediately understood in his heart.
Qi Shan sat on top and said; "The Shanghai Knife Club made a rebellion and took refuge in Hong Xiuquan, which made the bandits more arrogant, and put both the Jiangbei and Jiangnan camps under tremendous pressure. After returning to the camp this time, Li Zhen, as the superintendent of the Jiangxi Customs in Shanghai, will go to Shanghai to rectify the situation and exterminate the Little Knife Society. ”
When the news came out, the generals in the battalion talked a lot.
Only, Wu Qigong was dumbfounded.
Li Zhen is his assistant and the guarantee of his promotion, but he went to Shanghai, isn't this pulling out his foundation? Just when Wu Qigong was complaining and sighing in his heart, Qi Shan continued; "In order to support Li Zhen to go to Shanghai, all the soldiers of Huang Shihai's battalion were brought to Shanghai by Li Zhen, and they were equipped with 900 foreign guns and 80,000 rounds of ammunition."
"Li Zhen was personally promoted by the official, and he grew from a centurion to a general in only four months. But Li Zhen has the ability and ability, and the official can use him. ”
Qi Shan's gaze swept over the generals, and he said in a deep voice: "This official hopes that you can give full play to your abilities, train troops to fight, train soldiers who can defeat bandits, and also hope to see more people like Li Zhen." ”
Li Zhen sighed in his heart, Qi Shan deserves to be an old fox.
Announcing the order was actually used to encourage the generals under his command, which is really powerful.
After the matter was announced, the generals left, and Li Zhen stayed alone to discuss some things with Qi Shan before leaving Qi Shan's camp and returning to his camp.
At that moment, Li Zhen brought Huang Hu, Huang Shihai, and Yang Banhou over, his eyes fell on Huang Hu, and asked: "Huang Hu, more than a month after leaving, how are the 120 sharp knife special forces studying?" How are you doing? You will report on the training of the remaining 800-odd soldiers. ”
Huang Hu smiled and said, "My lord, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Special Forces have all read the book. ”
"What books did you read?"
Li Zhen's gaze was like a knife, which made Huang Hu become a little uneasy.
Huang Hu said with a twist: "My lord, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Special Forces have read "The Art of War", and the situation is okay. As for the lowly position, he is still in the process of literacy, waiting to slowly adapt. ”
"Idiot!"
Li Zhen suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
Huang Hu trembled and was frightened, and did not dare to reply.
Huang Shihai sighed in his heart, but did not say anything to help. For Huang Hu to come, this is not a lesson, after this incident, Huang Hu can learn a lesson, can calm down to read and learn the art of war.
Yang Banhou was silent and quietly waited for Li Zhen's decision.
Huang Hu gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, the last general knows that he is wrong. ”
Li Zhen said: "I think it's good that you can change your mistakes, but can you change your mistakes?" There are some things that don't think you can't do it, so you don't work hard. Since you don't think of yourself as the commander of the Sharp Knife Special Forces, then be a small soldier of the Sharp Knife Special Forces. From today on, Yang Banhou will enter the Sharp Knife Special Forces, responsible for the training of the Sharp Knife Special Forces, and urge all soldiers to learn the art of war and read and write. ”
"Yes, I understand."
Yang Banhou was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to be entrusted with a heavy task as soon as he came.
Li Zhen smiled: "You still call yourself 'below'? ”
"Yes, the last general obeys!"
Yang Banhou clenched his fists and asked, "My lord, the last general is in charge of the sharp knife special forces, what exactly do you do?" ”
Li Zhen said: "Regarding the matter of the Sharp Knife Special Forces, you directly ask Huang Hu and ask him to cooperate with you." But I have to tell you, the one hundred and twenty soldiers in the battalion are all fierce warriors, and you must keep them at bay. If they are so angry that they come to me to complain, I will not be able to support you. Everything, on your own. Especially at this stage, it is not difficult to just let them read and write, and I hope you can complete it satisfactorily. ”
Yang Banhou nodded and agreed.
Huang Shihai said: "My lord, let's go to Shanghai immediately, what preparations should we make?" ”
Li Zhen said: "You first go and receive 900 guns and 80,000 rounds of ammunition, and then send elite soldiers to investigate the situation in Shanghai." The focus is on the situation of the British, the Americans, the French, and the situation of the Shanghai Daotai. ”
"Yes, the Admiral understands."
Huang Shihai nodded in response, already feeling a huge pressure, but faintly excited.
After dealing with the affairs in the camp, Li Zhen got up and walked towards Wu Qigong's camp.
After entering the camp, Li Zhen clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "The last general, Li Zhen, has seen the general." ”
Wu Qigong smiled and said, "Li Zhen, I thought you wouldn't come. ”
Li Zhen shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Without the general's recommendation, Li Zhen would not have been able to get ahead. This time I went to Shanghai, I don't know when I will be able to see the general again, I hope the general will take care. The bandits in Yangzhou must pay attention to avoid being attacked by the bandits. ”
Wu Qigong nodded in response, a smile on his face.
Li Zhen, it hasn't changed!
Wu Qigong smiled and said: "You should also be careful when you go to Shanghai, there are not only bandits in Shanghai, but also foreigners, which are not easy to deal with." However, you have defeated even the Russians and received the emperor's approval, and I am sure that you will definitely put down the rebellion if you go to Shanghai. When I go to Shanghai, I wish you success, and I hope you will be crowned as soon as possible. Wu Qigong inquired about what happened when Qi Shan went to Beijing and was proud of Li Zhen.
At least, Li Zhen was a soldier under his command, and he carried it with him.
Li Zhen arched his hand and said: "Inherit the general's auspicious words." ”
Next, Li Zhen said some more words to Wu Qigong before turning around and leaving.
On October 15, Li Zhen left the Jiangbei camp with his soldiers. More than 200 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the battalion have been dismissed by Li Zhen, and each soldier has a settling-in allowance of ten taels of silver, which is also a piece of Li Zhen's heart, Huang Shihai is a little sad, but helpless.
From this moment on, Li Zhenlong returned to the sea, and the eagle flew into the sky.
