Chapter 258: The Emptiness After the Great Victory

It was a complicated and incomprehensible look, and when He Mengfeng, a guerrilla in the rear battalion of the Guangzhou Military Standard, faced this kind of look, he always felt that the other party looked at him as if he was looking at a barbarian, and he was very arrogant.

It is no wonder that these soldiers have won successive battles and have won proud soldiers, and these soldiers have killed a river of blood among officers and soldiers, and it is no wonder that they look at themselves as guerrillas in official uniforms like watching pigs and dogs.

Under the main building in the Yingci Courtyard, He Mengfeng lowered his head and bypassed the guard in gray and blue uniform guarding the door, his heart was extremely sad, he understood that look like this.

"You...... You ......"

He walked around, but Wang Hua, the general of the middle battalion behind him, stopped, pointed to the guard guarding the door, and was speechless, as if he had seen something extremely shocking, He Mengfeng turned his head to look, and he was so shocked that he couldn't breathe.

The guard should have an itchy head, took off the cloth hat and was scratching his head, there was a layer of green stubble on his head, but the hair tail was missing from the back of his head, not to mention the rat tail braid, and it was gone at all.

That's ...... The great sin of killing the head!

He Mengfeng was surprised, but Wang Hua was even more angry, and subconsciously turned his head to look around, as if he wanted to beckon his subordinates to hold this person, but unfortunately, he still entrusted He Mengfeng's relationship to enter the Yingci Academy, not to mention his subordinates, the waist knife was collected by the guards.

"What are you looking at!?"

The guard put on his hat, and when he saw the strange looks of these two people, he was immediately annoyed, and with a slip of his shoulder, he lifted his hand, and held the musket with the bayonet in his hand, and shouted angrily at the two men.

"You...... Your braids ......"

Only then did Wang Hua realize that the other party was Li Shi's soldier, so he didn't dare to ask for trouble, but he still asked unwillingly.

"Braids? You don't care if I have braids!? ”

The guard's gaze was even more unkind, and the two people brought by the doorman said that they were the chief master of the Guangzhou military standard, and they were familiar with Aunt Pan, so they should have come to ask Yingci Yuan for treatment. Their guards now have a tacit understanding with the officers and soldiers in Guangdong, and they don't do anything to each other, although they feel awkward, they still ignore them.

Now the chief master saw that he had shaved his braids, and seemed to embarrass him, which made him impatient. With a gun in hand, I was thinking in my heart, grandpa, I am a member of the Zheng family, and I have long been impatient with this braid. In the Anglo-German War before, you killed a small soldier, and you haven't killed the master yet, do you want to give away the head?

"Sanrong, now it's ...... Let's go. ”

He Mengfeng pulled Wang Hua helplessly, and said in his heart that now is an extraordinary period, the majesty of the imperial court has long been stabbed in Guangdong, and he is staying in Guangzhou, and he still doesn't know what the future holds, so why bother with this kind of thing. People have killed countless officers and soldiers, and if you have the confidence to shave your braids, don't ask for trouble, okay.

"Put away the gun, how can you be rude to the master?"

A young voice sounded, and another guard happened to come downstairs, although he was reprimanding, but his tone was light and fluttering. Seeing the moon thunder gun on his waist, and then looking at the buttons of his collar, this guard gun is on the shoulder, solemn and upright, his right hand is raised to his chest, and he responded, three silver buttons, this is an auxiliary wing commander, and an ordinary soldier like him is a copper button.

Wang Hua didn't hear this tone clearly, and when he saw that the soldier's boss was helping, he felt that his official uniform was still a little intimidating, and said more: "Don't be too unscrupulous!" Be careful to ask for guilt, you can't afford it alone! ”

The young chief turned his head to look, and his sharp eyes pierced Wang Hua's heart.

Cai Fei was already very patient, and he was trying hard to pull out the Moon Thunder Gun to kill the master. He had just gone to Foshan to mourn Liang Qing's family, a task that the victim's immediate boss had to undertake. Liang Qing is the head of the eye, and he should have gone to his sentry chief, but Cai Fei and Liang Qing were like brothers, so he took it directly.

Back in Foshan, when Cai Fei faced Liang Qing's family, he regretted it very much, and at this time he wished that it was himself who died.

"Qingzai! Didn't you say you would take care of Kyungzai!? ”

Liang Qing's mother cried and pushed Cai Fei away, not wanting to see him again, Cai Fei could only hand Liang Qing's father the pension silver and a certificate.

"What is written? Prove that Liang Qing died in the battle for Qingtian Company, saying that he died heroically, and Qingtian Company and Li Shi will always remember him? Li Shi...... I know, Li Tianwang. signed the contract of life and death, and there was nothing to say when he died, but why Qingtian Company died, it was really boring, you can take this paper back, it is uncomfortable to keep it. ”

Liang Qing's father expressed his grief with this gesture, and Cai Fei's heart trembled at that time, yes, people only die once, and they die fighting against the Qing soldiers, for just a Qingtian company, and they always feel very blocked in their hearts.

Liang Qing's father still left that piece of paper, if there are no other school-age men in the family, he can rely on this to join the Siwei orphans' association and receive subsidized grain, rice and silver regularly, and Liang Qing only has one sister left in the family.

"Brother Fei, my mother is just sad, and I don't blame you."

Liang Xiaomei wiped her tears, still comforting Cai Fei, Liang Qing's figure covered Bai Honggu, and Cai Fei impulsively turned to Liang's father.

"Uncle Liang, marry my little sister to me! I'll take care of you for Aqing! ”

Father Liang stayed for a moment and said something that asked Cai Fei to return to Guangzhou and walk into the Yingci Courtyard and was still stunned.

"You? When you die again, will you accept such a fluttering piece of paper again? If you die for the court, you can always leave a name, you and Aqing, what can you keep? ”

Court...... It's a pity that it's not his own court, your thoughts turned back, looking at this chief master in an official uniform, Cai Fei's heart rose with a sense of jealousy, mixed with a strong regret. These masters, if they are incompetent, they can only use such a court to support them, but the hateful thing is that they have everything, just this thing, there is really none.

Taking off his hat, he also exposed a head with only green stubble, Cai Fei scratched arrogantly, and sneered: "He can't afford it, can he add me?" As for the ...... of sin."

Putting on his hat, Cai Fei's eyes fluttered: "Those tens of thousands of people in the north have not stopped us, your imperial court, are you going to send hundreds of thousands more?" ”

Wang Hua was stunned, the shocking scene outside Shaozhou City was churning in his mind again, He Mengfeng dragged him away, and in despair, he didn't reprimand He Mengfeng for being rude.

Cai Fei and the guard guarding the door glanced at each other and smiled tacitly, but there was a trace of unwillingness in the laughter.

"Why don't you just pull people over? If you don't take the lead early, it will be troublesome if it goes deep into the meat. Jiangxi people? Shaozhou escaped? Why do you care about this, he ...... Li Xi will not pursue it, rest assured. ”

In the main building, after listening to He Mengfeng's prayers and scruples, Pan Jinling said quickly, Wang Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Pan Jinling's eyes as if he was looking at his own life-saving benefactor. His cousin was a guerrilla in the former battalion of Jiangxi Tibiao, and he relied on the surname Shui Hao to break out of the encirclement, but his arm was injured by a musket and fled to Guangzhou for treatment.

"Mo Niang, this matter is handed over to you, I still have to go to Qingpu."

Pan Jinling hurriedly explained, there was still a hint of excitement and nervousness on her face, not only could she meet Li Xi again, Yan Sanniang and the others were going to come over, she was also very worried, what should she do if they found out that she had been having an affair with Li Shi.

"Okay, take you."

He Mo Niang patted her chest, signaling that her craftsmanship was no problem now, He Ming was so anxious that he gestured with his teeth and claws, Pan Jinling waved his hand impatiently, Wang He and the others thought they were waving them back, but they retreated, looking at the respectful appearance of these two masters, Pan Jinling couldn't help but laugh.

When Pan Jinling's carriage drove over the Jiuxing Bridge, in a wasteland on the east side of the Jiuxing Bridge, Zheng Yong was also laughing, laughing so much that tears came out.

"He died when he fought hard with Qinggou face-to-face!?"

"Good death! It is worthy of my Zheng Yong's son! ”

"He's worthy of the Zheng family! He's better than his grandfather! ”

This is the place where Zheng Yong's son Zheng Hongyuan died in the Battle of Qingpu at the beginning of the year. Zheng Yong has been overseas, and after returning to Guangzhou, he has been busy with a lot of things, and now he has the opportunity to see the place where his son died in battle.

"Thank you! Ah Wei, the tombstone on Lantau Island is empty, it's not that you say it in such detail, I don't know that Hongyuan died so heroically! ”

Zheng Yong was crying, and Zheng Wei beside him was also full of tears, and when he heard this, his heart trembled. The white-character tombstone is now a hidden pain in the hearts of all Si Wei, if he dies, who else will remember?

A mile away to the east is the place where Lang Songliang died in battle, and in the past, it was said that the best soldier Jiang Da under Lang Songliang has now grown into a chief, and his name has been changed to Jiang Dedao.

"It was the whistle chief who pushed the eldest brother and I begged hard, knowing that God is still open, he is here to testify to his way, we have to worship him."

Jiang Dedao's shoulder was embroidered with a yin and yang fish, and the arc in the middle was a touch of blood red, which showed that he was a member of the Heavenly Punishment Society. He was beside Jiang Er, who also joined the Qingtian Siwei, and was in his brother's team, just an ordinary soldier, and now his name was changed to Jiang Qiudao. Although he bowed respectfully with his brother, his heart was churning.

"The tombstone of Chief Lang is still empty, it's not that the eldest brother said, I don't know, if the eldest brother and I are both killed in battle, will the brothers in the sentry pass on our names?"

On the top floor of the main building of Qingpu Cargo Station, Li Shi, Duan Hongshi, Fan Jin and others are holding high-level meetings.

"Si Wei's heart is a little wrong, I'm afraid it's arrogant and impetuous."

Duan Hongshi didn't understand soldiers, he interpreted what he saw from Si Wei's eyes in this way.

"I don't think there's a problem with the reward system, and everyone feels a little empty in their hearts."

Fan Jin is in charge of this part of the military heart, and he sees it more deeply.

"Your soldiers have really paid attention to it, and you don't have any other ideas?"

Li Shi asked Jia Hao and Wu Ya, the two nodded resolutely, a big victory, what else can they think? If you have any ideas, you can't disturb their fourth brother. Both of them thought that even if there was something wrong with the army's heart, they would have to solve it themselves.

"Then the problem is ...... incentives"

Li Xian nodded, he also felt it, the military heart was a little impetuous, after the big victory, he himself felt a little empty in his heart, and he no longer thought about anything serious, so he fought with his Sanniang until it was dark. In addition, he must also be prepared to get involved with An Jiuxiu, his Jiangnan beauty has been waiting impatiently, as for Guan Xuan...... Now that I'm just on my chest, my small body is already stiff, and it seems that I have to raise it for another year or two...... Uh-huh!

Seeing that he was a little distracted, Duan Hongshi coughed helplessly and reminded that Li Xian's face was already naturally thick, his eyes did not flash, and his mouth began to nag messily about what titles, medals, and military ranks, and even talked about collecting the deeds of martyrs and writing a book.

"Fan Xiucai, didn't you write something about "The Legend of Shengwu" before? Change him to "The Ancient Biography of Shengwu", and the heroic deeds of our Siwei will be written as "The Biography of Shengwu Jin". ”

Li Shi said this, Fan Jin's eyes lit up, and Duan Hongshi smiled, this is indeed a good move to appease the army.

Jia Hao glanced at Wu Ya and other important guards, and suddenly realized a problem.

Li Shi is a showman, Fan Jin is a showman, and Old Master Duan is ...... is also a showman.

There are some things, the three Xiucai get together, and they really just think about books, systems, or whatever.

"So, let's study the gains and losses of this battle."

Without noticing the eyes of his subordinates, Li Xi felt that the matter of the military heart had been properly handled, so he shifted the topic to the summary of this battle.
