"Master Xu Junjian:

Rescue Gao Yi, no words or forget, save the orphans, and remember it in my heart. The servant is close to Liaodong, which can be called a little fixed, and the old department is also slightly gathered in the past. Coming and going, it may be called fast. The armies of Fengtian are also in sight. The great revenge is to repay it, and how to say it, when you are familiar with Lord Xu......"

Xu Yifan was wearing a short coat, leaning on the head of the bed, lazily looking at her father's letter presented by the cuckoo offering treasure. The cuckoo looked at him cautiously, pinching his legs and feet hard. Lord Xu honestly and unceremoniously let out a comfortable moaning sound, and pointed out from time to time: "Here, here, a little higher, use a little strength, I have a hard time......"

Can the little girl not be nervous, her father wrote a letter to her, making it clear that she had a big matter to ask Xu Yifan. She's not pleasing a little, who will please? Sometimes the little girl herself will think about it, needless to say, Li Xuan has a wealthy family standing behind her. In Xu Yifan's inner house, although he didn't deliberately take it big in front of their two concubines, he could also detect the arrogance in his bones when he looked at it. The attitude towards people brought about by this background cannot be hidden. Chen Erya ...... No, Chen Luoshi's little girl can be regarded as innocent, and she was born in Xu Yifan's dart game of worshipping his eldest brother. But it's her, and she's carrying a horse thief daddy!

Xu Yifan's official also became a Qincha, a viscount, and a squire of the military department. is still half of the emperor of Joseon, and wealth is already hot. The concubine's father is the leader of the horse thieves, what's going on?

Du Juan sometimes thinks weakly, if she and Xu Yifan were not born and died in Nanyang. I'm afraid I can't be on an equal footing with Chen Luoshi? This time, thanks to Luo Shi's face, when she came to North Korea, she gave up most of the opportunities to get along with Xu Yifan, so that she could curry favor in front of Xu Yifan......

She didn't know much about cuckoo characters, and she secretly read the letter brought by the Da Shengkui caravan for a long time, and there were too many words in the way to read it. Now that Xu Yifan can read it, he is only speculating in his heart, what is written in the letter of her father who has to be a horse thief?

Du Juan doesn't understand, but Xu Yifan understands. The letter was preceded by a letter written by Wen Su. It is not Du Qilin's handiwork, maybe it is the old yin and yang weird Master Jiang. The writing is really not humble or arrogant, euphemistic and close, and very literary.

To put it bluntly, that's what it means.

He Xu Yifan saved Du Qilin's life, and he wanted to take in and protect Du Juan, the only bone and blood of Du Qilin. This kindness, these Jianghu men will never forget it for the rest of their lives! They are now in Liaodong, and they have already taken root and established a name. The horse thieves who followed the grassland at the beginning began to regather under the newly erected pole after being dispersed, and the Kanto ground has their status! Coming and going, happy and revenge, according to the skills of these old horse thieves, they naturally became famous. The Qing garrison in the Mukden area has already set their sights on them again, and there may be more conflicts. Looks like we're in trouble again...... The reason why they left Xu Yifan in the first place was that Xu Yifan was not very powerful at the beginning, and there was no way to solve the way out of these horse thieves. The second is the big pole in Liaodong that betrayed Du Qilin, the rivers and lakes have grievances and grievances, Du Qilin's hamstrings are picked, and he has become a half-wasted person, and this revenge has to be avenged!

Now that the revenge has been avenged, I don't know how many bloody vendettas there are behind it, and there is no need to ask about these. Their wish has been fulfilled, and they are also afraid of this horse thief career after encountering great difficulties. Xu Yifan is even more like Zhongtian, the cuckoo is his concubine, and now he wants to ask him to give him a way out!

In fact, Xu Yifan's control of these horse thieves was set up with chess pieces from the beginning. He asked Da Shengkui and them at the beginning, and used Da Shengkui's trade routes in Liaodong to secretly provide them with weapons, supplies and even money, and also provided information about other competing caravan opponents. If Xu Yifan hadn't cared so much about supporting, they would have been able to make a name for themselves in Liaodong so quickly and break the enemy's pole?

Since he has never gotten rid of Xu Yifan's shadow, it is natural to look back for Xu Yifan now.

These are all things that the little girl can't understand.

It is suspected that Master Jiang's handwriting is soon gone, but underneath is walnut-like big characters, crooked. But it was Du Qilin's own words, this is the father-in-law's son-in-law, and it can't be written by outsiders. Every word is extremely heavy, and you can imagine Du Qilin, the leader of the horse thieves, gritting his teeth when he wrote a letter, using all his strength to fight with paper and pen.

“…… Mr. Xu (Du Dama thief knows that he can't call Xu Yifan directly his son-in-law), is Juanzi good? You are a person who values love and righteousness, and you must not treat her badly. Your official is getting bigger and bigger, and Juanzi is a wild girl, I'm afraid it's a little unworthy. Your kindness to our family and brothers, now that you think about it, you can only repay it with your life. Juanzi is in your house, and she stays more stable. That's what I wanted, and so did Master Jiang. We have enough of the career in the rivers and lakes...... But now there are many brothers under his hands, and we have all seen the methods of recruiting officers and soldiers, and few men in the rivers and lakes have a good end. I can't leave my brother behind, if the adults have the heart, it's best to come in person, the lives of our hundreds of brothers will be sold to adults in the future, and they can all end well......"

There are so many white characters that Xu Yifan can grit his teeth when he reads the letter. Du Juan has been peeking at his expression, looking at Xu Yifan's grinning teeth, and being careful of his liver.

Horse thief, horse thief...... Hmph, they're all seeds established by cavalry! Although with the development of modern firearms, the current king of the battlefield is undoubtedly the modern infantry. But in the coming Sino-Japanese War, in this particular battlefield environment. A large number of fierce light cavalry, battlefield control, intelligence gathering, and harassment of the enemy's rear are still indispensable! Even if he expanded his Praetorian Guard infantry to two towns as he wished, the battlefield he wanted to control was so large that these infantry alone was still far from enough.

Even in the later historical Russo-Russian War, both sides of Russia and Russia collected a large number of horse thieves and bandits from the northeast, formed flower horse teams under different banners, collected military information, and sabotaged each other's supplies, which played a great role. Many horse thief leaders also received medals and knighthoods in Russia! This kind of absurd thing really makes people laugh but can't laugh.

The most important thing is not this, the ronin intelligence officers of this book have been operating in northeastern Korea for a long time, and they have spent a lot of effort. Many of the special agents have long been among the horse thieves, and as Chinese, they have mastered large and small poles. In China and North Korea, there are a lot. In the First Sino-Japanese War in history, these horse thieves operated in the rear of the Qing army, which gave a lot of strength to the devils. Haicheng counterattacked, and the main army of the Qing State was assembled, and sometimes it was so disturbed that it was impossible to raise a group!

Xu Yifan didn't want to encounter such a situation, and the matter in the rear had to be clarified first. The action of eliminating horse thieves is also a good partner for military training. With such a newly formed cavalry contingent that is familiar with the inside situation, it will be even more effective to train the troops.

said a thousand words and ten thousand, in the final analysis, in one sentence, his old father-in-law's team. Although it was an idle game at the beginning, the cold son of the cloth has to receive it now. Even if you really have to take the risk yourself!

Seeing him pondering there, the cuckoo, who had been worried, couldn't hold back any longer, and asked in a trembling voice, "Master...... My father, what did my father say in his letter? ”

Xu Yifan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly sighed: "Your father has been targeted by the officials and soldiers in the Northeast!" Write to ask for help, I look at ......"

The big eyes of the cuckoo suddenly burst into tears, and he looked at Xu Yifan blankly. When his father fell into the hands of the government, she saw it with herself, and sneaked into Yanjing alone to ask Xu Yifan, a person she never knew. At that time, my heart was like frying and boiling, and now I sometimes wake up from a dream, and it is as if it had just happened!

Her eyes were dark, but in a blink of an eye, she remembered the biggest support in front of her, and she didn't understand how old Xu Yifan's official was. But tens of thousands of people are now only looking at him, and a single order can kill North Korea in a sea of corpses and blood. Now who else can I ask for him?

Suddenly, the cuckoo's voice was watery, if there was a tail behind him, it was estimated that he would shake it very happily, and the poor baba looked at Xu Yifan with a little face: "Master...... Master...... You're the best at it. Raise your hand, won't you be able to save my father? I'm just such a daddy...... I heard the people in the house say that the king of North Korea nodded when he looked at you. I won't speak ill of Miss Li behind my back in the future, and I won't be angry with Sister Luo Shi anymore, and I won't fight for the money of the month......"

Oh? I have been training and leading troops outside alone to deal with the crisis. I didn't expect it to be so exciting in my inner house? Thinking that Chen Luoshi and Du Juan, the two little girls who were not too old, got together and were jealous of Li Xuan, maybe they would argue more and less for the monthly case, Xu Yifan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Li Xuan came over with a large number of people, and the expenses were also large, Xu Yifan didn't want Li Xuan to be his person and still used the Li family's money, with a big stroke of the pen, Li Xuan was eight hundred taels per month, not enough to ask Zhang Yu to ask for it - his Da Shengkui's money ticket dividends were tens of thousands of taels every month, and his life was simple, and he couldn't use it up. Du Juan and Luo Shi are still poor twenty taels, no wonder the two little girls are unhappy.

He quickly coughed and continued to tease the cuckoo: "...... How difficult is it...... Speaking of the big sky, I'm just the Minister of Janissary Training, how can I take care of the affairs of the Northeast? Now Seoul is about to be stunned, and the mud bodhisattva crosses the river......"

The cuckoo covered Xu Yifan's mouth at once, and the eyes were covered with a layer of water vapor and fog. Don't let Xu Yifan say the second half of the words that he can't protect.

"Master, you are our God, I know I can't embarrass my lord. We can't help you with your business, and we really can't let Daddy's affairs trouble you anymore. As a daughter, you can't watch your father have an accident, so I beg you, let me go back to my parents' house, I will have a gun and a fist, and see who can do something to my father! …… If I can't come back, the ancestral hall of the Xu family, beg the master to leave me a tablet, I didn't stay in the Xu family in vain......"

As he spoke, the cuckoo slowly got up, and wanted to bow down to Xu Yifan with red eyes.

It's really bad to tease this honest little girl...... Xu Yifan was ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly supported her, Du Juan's pure filial piety moved him too.

"Nonsense! I'm not dead yet! My father-in-law's business, no matter how difficult it is, can I still ignore it? Don't worry, how can I give you a safe and secure father? Xu Yifan's voice was soft, holding Du Juan's little hand, listening to his soft words of comfort, Du Juan's tears had already fallen, and he threw himself into Xu Yifan's arms with red eyes, sobbing and unable to speak.

Xu Yifan touched her face, and laughed evilly: "Next time, let you be with Luo Shi, don't dodge and dodge......" Before he finished speaking, he heard a slight knock outside the door, and then Zhang Yu's respectful voice returned: "My lord, there is already news about the matter you want to investigate......

TMD, just a little bit of daytime Xuanyin's thoughts, things are coming to the door again!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Incheon Outer Port, a small port in the waist of North Korea. There is no later generation that is famous all over the world for a world-famous login. It's just a small, desolate and dilapidated port. The channel into the port is narrow and the water depth is not enough. The Huai soldiers carried on the boat first went down to the pier of Bailong Island, and then changed to a wooden boat, and transported them to Incheon one by one.

Everywhere there was a shouting and shouting, and the soldiers were slow and resentful. What was unloaded from the ship, too, was everything, an officer's soft sedan chair, a cigarette bed, a spittle, and even a bird cage. It's all soldiers carrying. But their weapons were bundled and carried by the servants. All of them were complaining about the hardships, the officers were bumpy all the way, and some of them were addicted to smoking. Find a place to avoid people, and quickly turn on the light and burn the bubble. The soldiers were unmanned, and the order became more and more chaotic.

In the chaos, since the arrival of Baelong Island at dawn, there are not many Sheng Army soldiers who have landed in Incheon now.

The name of the Huai Army's powerhouse has been hanging for 20 years. Lao Cheng can fight generals and middle-level officers, but he has long since withered away. When it comes to equipment alone, it's not outdated. But this deep twilight has long been shrouded in layers. Sheng Jun has been stationed in the prosperous land of Gyeonggi for so many years, in addition to receiving errands, smoking big cigarettes, and holding children, what else do they know?

The military regulations have long been ignored. There are not necessarily a few times a month. The only thing that can be called military training is the 38 firing, and as a rule, every firing is 10 rounds of live ammunition. But each soldier couldn't shoot two or three shots, because after each shot, there were officers who specially purchased bullets from the grain table and sent them directly to the soldiers! No one knows where the bullets went.

The life of a soldier is also extremely hard, and he has been paid several times for many years. Now it's three taels of black and miscellaneous Matsue flat silver every month. You have to deduct food and clothing and public expenses, and you will have a little silver residue left in your hand. The salary is small, although it is called training the army, it has to find some other livelihood. The Huai Army Heroes, who swept the world back then, now in addition to foreign guns and cannons, in terms of quality, they are also the second brother and second brother of the embers of the green camp.

In order to rush to Seoul as soon as possible, the Sheng army chose Inchon to land. However, with this kind of army quality, it can be regarded as a complicated operation for a well-trained army after two transfers, and it is trivial for the Sheng army to make such a mess.

In the sea off Bailong Island, the main fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division is still patrolling, escorting the Sheng army to land. More than a dozen ironclad warships pulled long and black smoke and cruised around the sea in circles, stirring up white waves. The shadow stretched from east to west, until the figures standing on the flybridge were stretched out into a long shadow.

Ding Ruchang was on the flybridge, and he never returned to his official cabin, just looking at the chaotic scene in the small sea area from Bailong Island to Incheon Port, as well as the black smoke miasma on Bailong Island.

I don't know how long it took before Ding Ruchang sighed softly: "This ...... Is it warlike? Can you fight? ”

Liu Buyun, who was standing next to him, accompanied the Admiral Military Gate, did not dare to leave. Wen Yan just smiled awkwardly. I don't care about this matter, Ding Junmen, what are you doing. Let's just say that the inside of the Beiyang Naval Division is slightly better than the Lu Division, but since Lang Weili went, he has become so angry that he is not presentable.

Ding Ruchang looked through a telescope and pointed to a large tent erected on Bailong Island, outside which was still standing in Goshharing. As if facing a great enemy, he guarded the Chinese military tent with the commander's flag.

Ye Zhi went to the island in a hurry, and he couldn't withstand the short transfer, and he also settled the Chinese military tent after a short stay. The Beiyang sailors all looked at his belongings. The beds are fully furnished, even with screens and tapestries. Gold, silver, jade, ivory, dozens of smoking guns, and the Goshkhas held the Indian horseshoe soil in the jar like a phoenix. Ye Junmen has worked hard for so long, and he immediately entered the Zhongjun tent and hurried to enjoy it. I can't take care of military affairs, so with this, why talk about rushing into Seoul and forcing Xu Yifan away?

Behind Ding Ruchang, another voice sounded, like iron and stone striking each other, and the tone was sonorous.

"What else to talk about whether to fight or not? If you can protect yourself, it is a great luck from afar, and such a strong team as the Zhongtang faction wants to show off its power, but I am afraid that it will increase the provocation of the Orientals! ”

It was naturally Deng Shichang who spoke, and he also stood here motionless with Ding Ruchang for a long time. Holding the binoculars, he has seen it longer than Ding Ruchang, and his expression is doubly dignified, so gloomy that it seems to be dripping water.

Ding Ruchang could listen to these words, and they were exactly what he thought in his heart, so he stood there, pretending not to hear them, and not saying a word of reprimand.

Deng Shichang kept saying coldly: "Even if we are water masters, we are not much better than them!" Several times the shipyard was in a hurry, or repaired or built. Our Sailor Dock Iron Works, after a few years, have been deserted! Even Zhongtang thought that there would be no battle this time, thinking that we would be able to scare the Orientals! The dispatch is already inappropriate, and it is necessary to expel the subordinates of Lord Xu, who is already in Liwei in North Korea......"

Ding Ruchang turned his head violently: "Shut up!" ”

Liu Buyun hurriedly grabbed Deng Shichang, his cheekbones were bitten tightly, twitching and twitching, stubborn just not moving.

"Deng Shichang! Don't think you're the only one who understands! Don't think that Xu Yifan is the mainstay! I brought you here this time, I was really wrong! ”

Ding Ruchang's face was pale, he waved his hand violently, and strode off the flying bridge. Liu Buyun glared at Deng Shichang, sighed, and chased after him. On the flybridge, only Deng Shichang was left standing there, silent for a long time. A deep look of sadness was only in his eyes.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"My lord, there are 20,000 taels of gold in North Korea, and more than 100,000 taels of silver can be loaded into trucks and boxes at night, and they can be shipped north. Pyongyang didn't have enough masters, so we recruited some more in Seoul...... Sheng Jun rushed to see and cry......"

Chu Wanli stood in front of Xu Yifan, smiling in return. These words, the Praetorian Guard's practices can be described in one sentence, that is, I am shameless. The new 100 officials of the DPRK can only see the road. didn't dare to let half of the fart go, Xu Yifan's military parade in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace really scared a lot of people.

Xu Yifan nodded, these subordinates, the efficiency of grabbing things is really not low. He groaned for a while, but whispered another thing: "Wanli, do you know Nam Yoon-sik? ”

Chu Wanli was stunned, and the abacus in his mind crackled: "The right guard general of the North Korean palace ban? When the chaos started, the one who killed me at the gate of the palace? ”

Xu Yifan nodded slowly and let out a long breath: "The pair of girls that Park Yongxiao gave me is surnamed Nan, and they are the daughters of Nam Yoon-sik. Nam Yoon-sik is in charge of the palace ban, and his twin daughters also grew up in the palace ban and Chenghuan Min. In order to curry favor with me, Park Yong-hyo and Concubine Min of Lee gave me the widow of this loyal minister......"

"Beast!" Chu Wanli subconsciously scolded and thought about it. Park Yong-hyo They are certainly beasts, but Xu Yifan, who is ridiculous for accepting this pair of North Korean twin Lori, is also ......

Xu Yifan didn't think about it so much, and then scolded twice: "Birds and beasts are not as good!" The two little girls told Li Xuan's life experience, and then reported it through Zhang Yu, and his reaction was the same as Chu Wanli's. didn't expect that it was the reputation of his twin Lolita that harmed others. However, it doesn't seem that there is nothing to be done......

He then confessed in a low voice: "You go to check, this coup, how many old parties of the Dayuanjun system have left, this little girl surnamed Nan, whether there are any relatives, find out, I can use it." ”

Chu Wanli's eyes rolled, and he agreed with a smile. Xu Yifan frowned again: "By the way, in addition to gold and silver antiques, doesn't the North Korean Inner Treasure Workshop still have a few warehouses for making money?" It's all fucking for Lao Tzu to take away, and Mao doesn't want to leave one for Ye Zhichao. ”

Chu Wanli was stunned, Ye Zhichao's army went to land, and it had already arrived. However, according to the report, the speed of their landing has become a joke for the Praetorian Guard. When they arrived, all the valuables were dribbled. I didn't expect Lord Xu to even let go of making money! Transporting these things, it will have to wait until the Sheng army enters Seoul.

"My lord, do you have to touch Sheng Jun?"

Xu Yifan said fiercely with his back hand: "People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden...... I have to fight to the end! Do you really think that I, Xu Yifan, will be manipulated by others? I just want Li Hongzhang to understand a little bit! ”

(To be continued)
