The train spewed black smoke and crawled through the green mountains and green waters.

"Tea eggs, fruit candy, fried dried tofu, plum blossom brand ......" The little girl wearing a floral cloth jacket and pants carried a bamboo basket to sell, there were many people in the carriage, and the air was a little turbid.

This is the train from Guangzhou to Ji'an, and now there are more and more travelers taking the train, and this freight has four passenger cars.

Ye Zhao is on this train, because there are not many people with him, he has not wrapped a certain carriage, in fact, from the perspective of safety, even if there are no guards on the train today, it is nothing, in special periods, in order to prevent thieves from getting on the train and destroying, the belongings of passengers are carefully checked, no matter what kind of celebrities you are, the baggage and suitcase must be opened to see.

However, Ye Zhao and his entourage have a special pass issued by the Regent's Palace, which is naturally an exception.

Sitting in the window seat, Ye Zhao had a mint candy in his mouth, which was peeled by Grandma Jin Er and sent to his mouth just now.

Wearing a delicate and modern red checkered trench coat, little red pants, and red high heels that show the instep of the flesh stockings and jade feet, Grandma Jin Er is full of charm and energy, which is really eager to correct it on the spot, especially when Ye Zhao remembers the taste of her soft mud when she was a child, her heart is hot.

Grandma Jin Er went to Ji'an to buy a mineral, and happened to be with Ye Zhao.

The bench opposite the wooden table was empty, and the ticket was naturally bought by Ye Zhao, sitting by the window in front and back and on the other side of the passage, all the palace guards were seated, and two female guards in navy blue uniforms followed Grandma Jiner.

Grandma Jin Er bought a bag of fruit candy from the little girl, tore open the paper bag package, handed it to the little girl, and said, "Please eat." "If you give it to her as it is, I'm afraid that the little girl will be reluctant to eat it, and she will take it out and sell it.

Ye Zhao laughed, and pretended to be in his heart. Strictly speaking, in fact, Jin Er's grandmother is the landlord's wife in the past works of art, on the surface she is very good to the long-term workers and farmers, sometimes during the New Year's holidays, and will reward the pork, but in fact she is a vampire, she can exploit more and exploit more, of course, it is also in line with the laws of the economy, and the farmers are full of energy, and it seems that life is also rushing, and it is natural to work hard to do farm work.

This landlord and gentry, speaking of Zhou Papi in the middle of the night, the rooster crows are rare, most of the squires cherish feathers, cherish reputation, at least most of the face work is done enough.

Grandma Jin Er didn't pity this little girl, but she knew that her master was kind-hearted, so she pretended to show Ye Zhao.

Although he knew that she was pretending to be kind, Ye Zhao was so amused that he wanted to laugh, and he only felt that this little landlord's wife was really very likable.

Seeing that the old man had been staring at his feet, Grandma Jiner shrank down the bench and turned her head to look away, as if she didn't know and didn't know that the old man liked to look at her little feet.

Ye Zhao glared at her, but sighed in his heart, this girl can always tickle people's bones.

Today's stockings are naturally different from later generations, but the special offerings are also as thin as silk, which has a unique style, and a pair of black stockings worn by Victoria will be auctioned at a sky-high price in later generations.

"Come here!" Ye Zhao's face was majestic.

Grandma Jin Er ate and chuckled, leaned on Ye Zhao, and saw that no one was paying attention, and a pair of small red leather shoes were also coiled on Ye Zhao's ankles.

The journey is charming, and the journey is not lonely.

When the train arrived in Ganzhou, it stopped to add water and coal, diverted goods, some people got off the train, and some people got on the train, and a group of passengers also poured out of Ye Zhao's carriage.

The two young men in patrol black uniforms saw that Ye Zhao had a seat at this table, and quickly squeezed over, and the guards in the front row got up and prepared to block them, Ye Zhao made a look, and the guards slowly sat down, but they looked at the two young men with vigilant eyes.

In later generations, there is a computer network, and it is not easy to dispatch train tickets on the way, not to mention that now, there is naturally no seat number to buy tickets on the way, Ye Zhao saw that there were a lot of people on the train, and it was even more eye-catching to stop them one by one, so it was better to be low-key.

Ganzhou has convenient transportation, is the hub of the railway network in the south of the country, is to have a patrol training school in Ganzhou, training the provinces patrol laws and regulations, patrol regulations and so on.

It seems that these two young men came to Ganzhou for training, and they were in a hurry to find a seat just now, and the two of them didn't pay much attention to the things next to them, but they were a little dumbfounded when they sat down, they were all working people, where had they seen modern and romantic characters such as Grandma Jiner? The skin was like milk, white and tender and dripping water, the cherry mouthful, the red lips were shiny and shivering, making people want to suck a few sips, and the haughty and boundless taste of Mrs. Kuo was a fatal temptation to these bitter children.

This seat seemed to have frozen air, only the heavy gasps of the two young men, especially the younger one, who was burly and looked stunned, his face was red to the base of his neck, and the pimples on his face turned purple, but he still couldn't help but secretly turn his eyes on Grandma Jinji.

Grandma Jiner's pretty face immediately sank, Ye Zhao smiled and pulled her hand, and said in a low voice: "Come and lie down, squint." "The two children are not deliberately rude, obviously they have not seen the world, Jin Feng wants to make trouble These two people say a few words that are not boundary, then they must suffer a big loss, at least, a casual word to Jiangxi, the errand of these two children will be broken, these little things, if you ask your wife and concubine, it is not very interesting.

So it's better to quickly transfer the anger of the aunt's wife, as soon as Ye Zhao said this, sure enough, Grandma Jin Er meekly hummed, leaned into Ye Zhao's arms, and pillowed on Ye Zhao's arm, Ye Zhao gently hugged her body with a delicate silk blanket, only slightly revealing her beautiful bun.

The two young men seemed to have seen Ye Zhao just now, seeing that the beauty's delicate face and beautiful body were covered by a snow-white silk blanket, their faces showed a look of disappointment, and when they looked at Ye Zhao again, they naturally couldn't help but be envious, jealous and hateful.

"Is the gentleman going to Ji'an?" The slightly older patrol asked Ye Zhao, and Jiner's grandmother Lise was covered, and the two of them naturally got up.

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded.

"Ah, my name is Zheng Aji, the Inspector of Sanshui Street in Ji'an." The older patrolman held out his hand.

Ye Zhao also stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, now except for the literati and officials and squires, there are fewer and fewer newspaper names.

"My name is Liu Yi." The pimple-ridden lad also held out his hand.

Ye Zhao reported his name and exchanged a few words with the two, but Zheng Aji was a familiar acquaintance, and after chatting a few words, he smiled and said: "The journey is boring, Mr. Ye, how about we play plum blossom solitaire?" Three people, playing two against one, this is a popular card technique in Guangzhou, Mr. Ye wants to play, right? ”

Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, why is it popular in Guangzhou? This is definitely my own original, and I don't know how to get it out.

Nodding: "Okay." ”

Zheng Aji has a card, but a little dirty, a few cards are broken and missing, Ye Zhao wanted to say to buy a new pair, think about it and give up, although touching the card slightly uncomfortable, but can not enjoy a few years of happiness, I really see myself as superior, but then said, how particular is life? Even if you go out on patrol in private clothes, there are always people to serve, and there is always some discomfort in touching this sweat-stained card.

"Mr. Ye, let's have a little win-lose, or it's not interesting." Zheng Aji said with a smile.

Ye Zhaoqi said: "Gambling is not allowed on the train. ”

Zheng Aji smiled: "In this way, let's use matchsticks as bargaining chips, and the patrol police won't care if they see it, and finally let's settle the bill, in fact, it's a little fun, a matchstick is a penny, we don't care about shells and bullets, every game is a penny to win or lose, what?" ”

Ye Zhaoben was a little displeased, first, this was a patrol arrest, knowing the law and breaking the law; Second, let's wonder if this Zheng Aji has any bad intentions. Hearing this, his brows furrowed, and he nodded: "Okay." "It's really interesting to win or lose a little, why is it more interesting to play chess and cards on the Internet than your own brothers? It's because there is a score accumulation.

Shuffling naturally has nothing to do with Ye Zhao, the three of them played cards and chatted, Ye Zhao inquired about the patrol, chatting and speculating, and after a while, Grandma Jin Er sat up to watch the excitement, Zheng Aji and Liu Yi were obviously restrained, and they didn't dare to laugh loudly, lest Heiya be seen by this glamorous aunt.

Just lost their temper in front of Grandma Jiner, the two of them were very embarrassed to think about it, except for bandits and a few people, as long as they were normal men, they naturally wanted to leave a good impression on the beauties, and the two of them were no exception, and their words became gentle, but Liu Yi still couldn't help but sneak a glance at Grandma Jiner.

Seeing that the old man is a last resort, it seems that what cards are out of the almighty memory, is to get to the back of the card less and even know what cards are in the hands of the two, Jin Er Grandma Meizizi, although it is said that it is two small roles, and it is a little fun, but how to say it, the master is simply a fairy, monsters, what to do is unimaginable.

Thinking about it, I still wanted to cure the old man, and I wrote a letter to accuse the old man of bullying him, but I don't know if the old man thought he was very cute at that time? What about childishness? Thinking of this, my heart was a little sweet, and I was a little unconvinced, biting my red lips and pondering, what's the matter, didn't I go to Mrs. Ben's bed?

The pretty face was slightly hot, and she was busy no longer thinking about it, as for the young man who secretly glanced at her, Grandma Jiner had already put it aside.

The matchsticks in front of Ye Zhao are piled higher and higher, Zheng Aji and Liu Yike are a little sweaty, they are playing, but this one is down, seeing that they are about to lose the upper corner of silver, especially the two of them do not cooperate well, Mr. Ye can see it, as long as it is his turn to be sure to ask for cards, the more the two want to quickly put the cards out, the more they are left behind when Mr. Ye throws the cards away, the more the two lose the more they dare not ask for the cards, sometimes there are double ghosts who dare not ask for the cards when they see that the cards are not neat, the more they don't want the two lose.

Ye Zhao always had to let him play with his wives and concubines, and he didn't remember the cards very much, but he had a good time today, chatting while playing, and he didn't care much at first, but as he spoke, he suddenly frowned and asked Liu Yi: "You said that your ancestral home is Bobai and you have been a sailor?" It turned out to be Liu Er? Nicknamed Liu Scoundrel? ”

The pimples that the young man lost were purple again, he took off his hat and scratched his head depressedly, and when he heard Ye Zhao ask the name of the flower, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Yes." ”

Ye Zhao was speechless, and suddenly knew who he was, Liu Yi Liu Yongfu, Liu Yongfu of the Black Flag Army, repeatedly defeated the French army in Vietnam, known as the righteous and brave man who "breathed for thousands of years of China", and the Black Flag Army was powerful all over the world.

But now look at it, it's obviously a little bean sprout that hasn't grown up, and the trajectory of his life has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has become a patrolman.

But without the stormy waves, how can it not be a blessing to have a peaceful life? How many bones does it take to make a hero?

Thinking about it, Ye Zhao glanced at Liu Yongfu again, and just happened to see that when he seemed to bow his head, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Jin Feng's little red leather shoes and stockings that exuded endless temptation, as if he had been struck by lightning, his face was flushed, and his mouth was dry.

Ye Zhao was weird and funny in his heart, it was really difficult to talk about when people met.

Seeing that there were few matchsticks in front of the two, Ye Zhao pushed the "chips" in front of him and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's divide it and start again." ”

Zheng Aji looked bitter and said, "Mr. Ye, I'm really a little tired, settle the account, don't play." "If you want to play Ji'an, I'm afraid you have to lose a few pieces of silver.

Ye Zhao smiled: "You don't have to end it, it's just a casual play, I'm too lucky, it's like cheating, it's really boring." ”

"That's because you're good at poker, and my brothers are willing to gamble and lose." Zheng Aji said, and Liu Yi each counted dozens of copper coins and secretly handed them to Ye Zhao, so as not to be seen by the patrol police.

Ye Zhao gently pushed away, pointed to their patrol uniforms, and said: "Although it is a small gamble, but you wear these clothes, it represents the image of the entire patrol system, gambling is prohibited on the train, you take the lead in violating it, what can others think?" People don't know whether you are a railway patrol police officer or a local patrol arrest, they always think that you are a yamen all the way, and they will only think that the yamen in our southern country say one thing and do another, and the rules and regulations of each yamen are just for example. ”

Zheng Aji and Liu Yi were stunned, and Zheng Aji hurriedly said: "Yes, it's my brothers who are wrong." He gave Liu Yi a look, and hurriedly put away the copper coins.

At this time, Grandma Jin Er gestured to the side, and a female guard in navy blue uniform went to the duty room with a folded white towel, and when she came back, the white towel had been scalded with hot water, and Grandma Jin Er took the towel and helped Ye Zhao wipe her hands.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Give these two hot hands too." ”

The female guard hurriedly went to the hot water place in the duty room and scalded two white towels and threw one to Zheng Aji and Liu Yi.

Seeing that Zheng Aji was nothing, he wiped his hands flattered, and Liu Yi's face was a little hesitant.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Liu Zhutou, there is no aside, it is a good habit to pay attention to hygiene, our life must always get better and better, let's put it this way, the dormitory conditions of the Ganzhou Patrol Arrest School are convenient, do you take a bath every day, do you feel refreshed after taking a bath?" If you were asked to take a shower once a month now, would you feel bad? Think about it again, it's nothing to take a shower once a year, right? This is the improvement of living conditions, our inevitable demand, when the people of the whole country have the conditions to take a bath every day in the future, then the great yamen in Guangzhou will do a good job. ”

Hearing Ye Zhao's great tone, Zheng Aji and Liu Yi were a little speechless, and Liu Yi felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Yes, what Mr. Ye said is that he is pedantic." ”

Ye Zhao smiled and said to Jiner's grandmother: "Let's go, accompany me to the smoking room to smoke a cigarette, this is a long time to hold." Grandma Jin Er laughed to herself, got up diligently, and took cigarettes and matches with the guards, so she didn't want to worry about anything.

Zheng Aji and Liu Yi glanced at each other, and they could see the envy in each other's eyes.

…… Nanchang has a lot of water, the Ganjiang River, the Fu River, the Yudai River, the Jinjiang River, the Luan River crisscross the territory, there are many lakes, and the Taiping army relies on the river, digging trenches, pulling wires, piling sandbags, layers of fortifications are staggered, the trenches in the front are less than a kilometer away from the position of the Pingyuan Army, leaving a small number of soldiers, when encountering artillery bombardment, they will retreat to the second layer of trenches after 100 meters, and the trenches are lit from time to time, which really makes people wonder where their soldiers are hoarding.

Although the barbed wire fence pulled up by the Taiping army in front of the trench was not a mesh steel wire or stinging snake belly steel belt mesh that was exclusively used for military use in later generations, it could also limit the attack and advance speed of the infantry of the Pingyuan Army to the greatest extent.

Wading across the stream, came to a hillside, Ye Zhao accompanied by Shenbao rode a horse to look at the Taiping army fortifications, everywhere was a busy scene before the war, the trench of the Pingyuan army has been digging forward, like a spider web, extending forward, zigzag trenches, some of the boundaries are only a few hundred meters away from the Taiping army's position, from time to time there are gunshots, the dense human head immediately lies in the ditch like a tide, and after a while it is active again, this is the Pingyuan army requisitioned by the people's team.

Of course, the trenches at the forefront are now being extended by the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army.

The real trench warfare is destined to be staged in the land of China in advance.

Ye Zhao knew that in today's artillery fire is not very sharp, the defender of trench warfare has a huge advantage, a few hundred meters of open space between the positions of the two sides, no man's land, will cause huge damage to the attacking side, almost most of the trench warfare in World War I evolved into a long-term confrontation, of course, unlike later generations, there are no machine guns today, and the trenches are not reinforced by concrete. But again, the attackers had ineffective communications and no accurate artillery strikes, and there were also insurmountable difficulties.

The zigzag trench can protect the soldiers to the greatest extent, even if the shells fall in the trench, the shrapnel will not be blocked for a long time, but the Taiping army is not equipped with steel helmets, and the artillery is still extremely dead.

Taiping Army, this is a capable person to help, Ye Zhao knew that Li Xiucheng was a hero, but he didn't believe that he could come up with this means of digging a trench to fight against himself alone, and even if he dug it, he would not use it so resolutely.

"Let's go, let's go to the trench." Ye Zhao rode downhill, and Shenbao only hesitated, followed, and said, "Lord Wang, the bandit is very cold." He knew that the prince's surname was Ge, and if he went down to the trenches, he would definitely go to the nearest area to the bandits' position to have a look.

The position of the bandits was marked by the Pingyuan Army Headquarters, and there was a small stream winding on the east side of the position closest to the Pingyuan Army, called the No. 009 position.

In the trench of the Pingyuan army, a team of soldiers wearing steel helmets are skillfully digging forward, the top of the loess is covered with wooden planks, dug from below, and the planks are removed after digging, which is not easy to be discovered by the other party.

At present, the Minfu Corps is actually somewhat similar to an engineer, and Ye Zhao is ready to formally organize it into an army to boost its morale, which is also an inevitable way to regularize the army under the current historical conditions.

Several soldiers were leaning against the back wall of the trench with steel guns to smoke their heads, and when they saw Gao Laohu with a pipe band, they hurriedly threw away their cigarette butts and saluted.

"Jia Youzhi!" Gao Laohu went up and gave a kick to the tall man who was still lying on the chest wall and observing the opponent's position with a clairvoyant mirror, the tall man was the first sentry officer of the third infantry battalion where Gao Laohu was, named Jia Youzhi, brave in battle, and very much loved by Gao Laohu.

Jia Youzhi scolded: "Damn, die!" When he turned around and saw Gao Laohu with an angry face, he smiled: "My lord, it's you, I said that which rabbit cub dares to kick me, and I thought that the grandson of the urine kang surnamed Hou." ”

He was talking about another sentry officer, and the two of them often fought for merit, and they didn't like each other.

Gao Laohu frowned angrily, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, the prince came to see you monkey cubs, all of them are in order." ”

Jia Youzhi smiled and said: "The prince will come when he comes...... and then there was a cold wind on the back of his neck, his eyes widened, and his face was incredible: "The prince?!" ”

At this time, Ye Zhao had already walked over, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, took the telescope from his hand, and looked at the position of the Southern Taiping Army.

In fact, the trench is now narrow, and can only allow two people to pass by mistake, with a smell of earth, which was originally only used as a cover, but as the trench of the Taiping army dug deeper and deeper, dug longer and longer, and crisscrossed it, it was discovered that this was actually a wonderful way to resist the Pingyuan army.

There was little smoke in the distance, and I really couldn't see the brave movement of the Taiping soldiers.

"See the prince!" Jia Youzhi stayed with several soldiers for a long time before they knelt down, Ye Zhao pulled him up, shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "Get up, hard work!" He patted Jia Youzhi's hand and led the officers and soldiers of the brigade to the west.

Jia Youzhi stayed for a long time, looked at his hand in disbelief, and said to a small soldier next to him for a long time: "Little Wangba, I'm not dreaming, right?" Pinch me! ”

"Oops!" Immediately, Jia Youzhi kicked the little man aside and scolded: "Damn, you are really pinching!" Holding his hand, he smirked.

In the south of Nanchang City, within a radius of several miles, there are trenches and barbed wire fences everywhere, like a gloomy cemetery, filled with the breath of death, whether it is the position of the Taiping Army or the Pingyuan Army, a team of soldiers walks through the trenches with their waists bent, from the sky, countless heads are surging in the criss-crossing ravines, the scene is extremely spectacular.

A few clouds swept by.

Hundreds of cold steel cannons, incomparably majestic, raised on the banks of the Gan River, silent, waiting for the glory of Devouring all the blocking forces when the Sen Sen cannon barrel spits out a tongue of fire.

Perhaps psychologically, the humans who were busy loading them up and repairing them looked so small in front of these behemoths, like insignificant creatures under the claws of these steel behemoths.

The Battle of Nanchang, a trench battle destined to be recorded in the history of world wars, was later called the tragic collision between the world's first-rate infantry regiment and the most ferocious rebel army in the 50s of the 19th century.
