"What's going on? I'm still wearing this dress the day before, look at this mud (). At the gate of the camp, several soldiers standing guard muttered quietly, all reminiscing about the events of the morning.

"Don't mention it, if you feel a loss, learn that piece of hob meat and go to him alone."

"Stop, let Lei Meng drink muddy soup with one move, I don't dare."

"You say, the baggage battalion that pulls the carriage is usually trained like this?"

"I guess it should be, otherwise how could he capture the bandit leader alone? I've heard that there were more than 100 bandits at that time, all of them were spears, and there was a machine gun to lock the road, so he rushed in alone, caught the bandit leader and seized the machine gun. ”

"Why do you say that the baggage battalion is so hard-working? Can they fight the enemy before us? ”

"These freaks ()! Made! Usually we don't look down on other people's baggage camps, call other people's horsemen, and our feelings are not as good as others, this training, should! ”

"The next time, when Lao Tzu saw the baggage camp, he immediately took a detour."

"Go around a fart, everyone has become a standard, how do you go around? Could it be that you want to learn from those unpromising flag men who have been transferred to another job?! The soldiers gathered around, cooing and gritting their teeth, and before they could discuss the ugliness, they saw a dozen soldiers in clean and neat military uniforms walking towards the place, led by two pipe belts.

When they got closer, both sides were stunned.

Xiao Anguo was dumbfounded that these 42 standard soldiers were all covered in mud, just like they had just been fished out of the mud, they were all embarrassed, but the soldiers were red and green, and the guys on the other side were all new clothes and new pants, their military boots were shiny, and even their braids were oiled!

"What do you mean? Dressed like this on purpose, I want to see a joke! The soldiers were immediately furious and shouted: "The 42nd standard barracks are heavy, and people are coming? ”

After finishing the morning class and going to Chuwangtai to order a meal, Xiao Anguo was not worried that Yang Qiu would go to work alone, so he called Ma Kui, and brought more than a dozen soldiers from the baggage battalion such as Bingwen and Hu Laosan to give him his majesty, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the gate of the 42nd standard camp, he saw these soldiers who sighed and sighed, and hurriedly walked up and asked: "This brother, is it 42 bids here?" You are. ”

"Who are you?"

"Chuwangtai Pingku Xiao Anguo, this is Ma Kui, the baggage pipe, and I am here to congratulate Lord Yang on his new official appointment."

"You're from the baggage camp?" The soldiers were still saying that the baggage battalion was a freak and would take a detour after they met, but they didn't think that they would appear in front of them, and for a while they only felt dizzy and ghostly, Ma Kui and Xiao Anguo were even more strange, and said: "Yes, I don't know what advice this brother has?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ()." After being tossed all morning, the soldier who was still weak and sore was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, secretly saying in his heart What is the matter? The one inside hasn't stopped yet, and a few more boxers have come, how will you live these days in the future?!

The soldiers rushed back to report that when the others heard that it was from the baggage battalion, it was likely that it would be the terrible new standard Ma Ben (adjutant) in the future, so the soldiers all crowded over and looked at them with strange eyes.

The black pressure of the surging human heads and the muddy military uniforms made Xiao Anguo and the others swallow their saliva, and secretly thought in their hearts what kind of angry things Yang Qiu had done, which would make the soldiers treat themselves like this.

Fortunately, the soldiers who reported quickly went and returned, and everyone walked to the officer's dormitory in a burning eye, and before they could say hello when they entered the door, Xiao Anguo pulled Yang Qiu and asked, "My eldest brother, what the hell is going on?" ”

"What's going on?" Yang Qiu was stunned when he was asked, and when he walked to the door, he saw that all the soldiers had gathered around, and he was secretly amused in his heart, shouting, "What? Panicked? ”

When the soldiers heard the shouting and hula, they all dispersed, only Yue Peng and Zhang Wenjing, who were about to go back to the dormitory, looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that the first lesson in the morning was really terrifying, at least no one dared to contradict this new standard master at this moment.

Seeing Yang Qiuyi shouting, the soldiers were all obediently dispersed, faster than the mouse saw the cat, Xiao Anguo was even more surprised, it was only morning! Hurriedly dragged Yang Qiu into the room and asked, "Brother, tell my brother quickly, what did you do?" ”

Yang Qiu was amused in his heart, and hurriedly told him about the morning exercise, Xiao Anguo and Ma Kui were directly dumbfounded when they heard it, not to mention that they had never heard of this kind of exercise, just such a toss did not cause a riot, it was already a big surprise.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to be here alone, I think it's better to transfer some people from the baggage camp, anyway, the new officials can bring some old subordinates ()." Xiao Anguo was afraid that Yang Qiu would be unfamiliar with his life and would be retaliated against by the tossed soldiers, so he couldn't refuse and said, "This matter is so decided." ”

"Okay, let's just Hu Laosan and Bingwen." Yang Qiu didn't refuse this time, because he really needed a few assistants, but Xiao Anguo frowned, Hu Laosan was fine, but Bingwen.

Yang Qiu glanced meaningfully at Bingwen who hung his head next to him and didn't dare to look at him, and said with a smile: "Bingwen is still young, put it here to exercise for a while, maybe he can become a general." ”

"That's the baby-faced general, too."

"Haha."

asked Zhang Wenjing to settle Hu Laosan and Bingwen, and the other soldiers of the baggage battalion were also curious about the situation outside, and they all went out to fart with the 42 standard soldiers, and when they saw that only he, Xiao Anguo, and Ma Kui were left in the room, Yang Qiucai asked: "Brother Xiao, there is something I want to ask you, do you know the manager of the gun factory?" ”

Xiao Anguo's eyebrows jumped, and he thought that Yang Qiu had moved the gun factory, so he was so frightened that he whispered: "I said brother, this is a matter of losing your head!" ”

Yang Qiu hurriedly smiled and said: "Big brother wants to go there, I have eight heads and I don't dare to move the gun factory now, but I don't know what the factory looks like after being a soldier for so long, and the bullets of my pistol are running out, and bullets of this caliber are difficult to buy, so I need to find someone to order them." ”

"That's it?"

"That's right." Seeing Xiao Anguo's surprise, Yang Qiu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Where am I wrong? ”

"I said brother, you haha!" Xiao Anguo and Ma Kui laughed at the same time, making Yang Qiu Erzhang puzzled, and the former explained: "You are a 42-standard standard!" The territory of Hanyang is all your defense area, don't care about anything, you need to look at it before you want to enter and exit from here, if you want to order a few bullets, do you need to go around such a big bend? Just go to the manager of the gun factory and say the model or sample (). ”

Yang Qiu was directly dumbfounded, he didn't expect the 42 standard rights to be so big, but he felt wrong when he thought about it, and asked: "No, I've already transferred all the standards back for training, who is responsible for patrolling at ordinary times?" ”

"It's the security team of the gun factory, there are about 500 people, it stands to reason that these people are under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Palace, but the Governor's Office is not willing to take care of these miscellaneous matters, so most of them have followed the 42 standard over the years, and some people outside call them the 42 standard 4 battalion." Ma Kui saw that Yang Qiuzhen didn't know, so he explained it to him in detail.

It turns out that the militia and the security team in the late Qing Dynasty are not independent, although they are nominally spontaneous armed organizations, but in fact they are subject to the control of the local garrison, especially after the Gengzi year, in order to recover the military power, the imperial court increased the supervision of such organizations, most of them were handed over to the local army or the government to manage, the gun factory is the most important arsenal of the imperial court, so in addition to the 42 standards stationed nearby, the security team was specially formed, and all were trained and equipped according to the regular army.

Yang Qiu didn't expect that there were so many Taos in it, and he regretted that he didn't ask Zhang Wenjing and them just now, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a joke.

"It just so happens that you gave me this gun and the bullets consumed a lot, and I will go to the factory with you to find the steward to make some bullets, and by the way, let's take a look." Xiao Anguo pulled out Mauser 1896, gestured a few times and smiled: "This gun is good, but it consumes bullets." ”

"So this gun is not practical in the army, it can only be used for self-defense, and it is powerful." Yang Qiu was just about to talk about the shortcomings of Mauser's pistol, when he heard someone shouting at the door, he opened the door and saw more than a dozen banner soldiers huddled together, and when he saw him come out, he said in a fierce tone: "Lord Biaotong, I will transfer out immediately after I have thought about it." ”

"Okay, let's go find Zhang Wenjing and get the silver." Yang Qiu nodded very refreshingly, then glanced at the other soldiers gathered outside and asked loudly, "Who else is quite a deserter?" ”

"Deserters?"

The soldiers' faces were blue, and they couldn't wait to pull Yang Qiu out and beat him, and those who had a little intention of applying for transfer didn't dare to leave, you must know that this is the new army! Transfers and desertions were two different things! The banner soldiers have the support of Ruicheng, the governor of Huguang, but who can they find? Besides, even Admiral Zhang and Lord Li have acquiesced, if they really propose to be transferred, maybe they will be put on some big hat on their heads!

"Shameless!"

Qiu Wenbin, the representative of the First Battalion Educational Society, who was holding the retirement application, clenched his fists fiercely, and the representative of the second and third battalions next to him did not look good.

"Brother Qiu, this Tartar lackey obviously wants to block our back road!"

"yes, just find a chance to kill him."

Zhao Chengwu, the representative of the second battalion, looked at Yang Qiu from a distance and his heart was full of unfeeling, and said hatefully: "Just now, he has been talking about learning and enlightenment, and he knows us, if he doesn't leave, he will be killed sooner or later!" ”

"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill him for the time being? If we kill us, we'll get everyone in trouble. ”

"At this time and at that time, not to mention that there was a brother who did it last night." Several soldiers from the puzzle club next to him were also nervous, who is Yang Qiu? The Manchu Qing Dynasty had just canonized the loyal and brave Baturu, who killed Wang Tianjie on the street, and killed hundreds of thieves and lackeys of the Sichuan brothers, not to mention that he was assassinated by his comrades last night, and now the governor has ordered the arrest of the whole street, if he continues to stay here, he may not be able to save his life.

"No, I can't tell if something happens tomorrow morning, I don't think it's better for Brother Qiu to cross the river to find Liu Gong now and ask what to do? We can't watch everyone being bullied by this thief and die in vain. ”

Everyone, you and I made Qiu Wenbin's heart even more confused, and when he saw Yang Qiu returning to the house, he had to grit his teeth and say, "Okay, I'll go to see Liu Gong, but when I come back, I have to endure whatever happens." ”

After saying that, he immediately found an opportunity that no one noticed and walked out of the camp
