I have to say that in the past half a year or so, under Geng Jingzhong's training at any cost, the strength of the soldiers of the guard platoon has risen sharply. On the whole, although it is still much worse than the special combat team, but in terms of marksmanship, the guard platoon is no worse.

The marksmanship test at the Houshan shooting range certainly did not disappoint Liu Mingfang, and the twenty people each fired ten bullets, and the guns hit the target. These targets are all pumpkins the size of a human head, and it is no longer difficult to place them at a position of 50 meters, and they can be accurately hit 80% of them from a distance of 100 meters. These are normal in Zhang Renjie's eyes, but this is very deterrent for the children of the Liu family and the Liu family's guards.

"Good! Good! Good! "The fighters of the guard squad had just finished fighting, and as soon as they finished their ranks, one of them clapped his hands and walked over from behind the crowd.

"See the big handsome!"

"Uncle Six!"

"Sixth!"

When the men at the shooting range saw the man approaching, they all saluted and shouted.

Zhang Renjie didn't know this person yet, but when he heard someone else's name, he immediately reacted, this is the biggest goal of his trip, the first governor of Taiwan in history, the third person in the Huai Army, and the famous Ming Army Marshal Liu Mingchuan. Liu Mingchuan is only forty-eight years old now, with an oval face, big eyes and a big mouth, big ears and style, a mustache, a straight and high nose, and very expressive eyes.

Zhang Renjie also reacted quickly, immediately stepped forward and gave a military salute, knelt down on one knee and shouted: "The lowly Zhang Renjie has seen the handsome!" ”

"Are you?!"

"Oh, sixth child, Renjie, this child is the only son of my brother-in-law Zhang Youde, do you remember our Mingjun's white-faced bookstore?" Liu Mingfang explained.

Zhang Renjie was still kneeling on one knee, and when he heard Liu Mingfang's words, he laughed in his heart, 'white-faced book office', it seems that the readers who do the book office are all white-faced scholars, and few of them are black-looking.

"The handsome and majestic back then, exactly like what my father described! At home, my father often told the humble about the heroic deeds of the marshal, so as to inspire us and other juniors to practice martial arts seriously and be loyal to the country in the future! ”

Liu Mingchuan, who was originally just smiling slightly, more than doubled the smile on his face after hearing Zhang Renjie's background. "You are the kid of Zhang Shuban, hehe, I remember him, he said that the only one in all the book offices dared to brave the rain of bullets and bullets to fight the enemy, and he happened to save the eldest brother!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Liu Mingfang. "Your father is my eldest brother's brother-in-law, so we will all be our own people. In the future, you will follow them and call me Uncle Six, don't call me handsome, it's too raw! ”

"Nephew Zhang Renjie, I've seen the sixth uncle!" Zhang Renjie first glanced at Liu Mingfang, saw Liu Mingfang nodding, and shouted excitedly with his fists again. This has exceeded his expectations. Liu Mingchuan asked Zhang Renjie to call him 'Sixth Uncle', which means that he has officially been included in the category of his own people; if he is still called handsome, it is obvious that he has a lot of points.

Liu Mingchuan walked forward: "Spirit! Attaboy. Is this your soldier? By the way, you just called yourself a lowly position, what position do you have now? ”

"Uncle Hui, the little nephew donated the official officer, and now he is the Andong Garrison Division of Huai'an Prefecture, Jiangsu, and they are the soldiers of the guard squad of the Renzi Battalion formed by the little nephew!" Zhang Renjie said truthfully. After speaking, Zhang Renjie glanced at Zhang Qishi.

Zhang Qishi understood, and immediately ordered: "All of them, salute!" ”

Liu Mingchuan's eyes lit up, just now he saw the marksmanship of these twenty soldiers with his own eyes, and he felt that these people were not simple. Looking at the way they saluted, combined with the mannerisms he had just seen, he could be sure that these soldiers had been trained in Western-style drills. This is really a good soldier, and he is not a recruit who has never seen blood, which can be distinguished at a glance by those who have really led soldiers.

Liu Mingfang also laughed and helped: "Hahaha, sixth, these boys are good." According to Renjie himself, his Renzi battalion is not a wine bag and rice bag, and all the five hundred soldiers under his command are similar to what you see in front of you, how about it, I now feel that God has finally opened his eyes! ”

"Five hundred?!" Liu Mingchuan's eyes suddenly brightened, there were five hundred such elite soldiers, it was really a gift from God.

Just a few days ago, he had received a handwritten letter from his old master, Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang had promised to promote him to the south to preside over the war against France, but he Liu Mingchuan had been away from officialdom for 16 years, and many things needed to be further operated.

Since there is hope for a comeback, you must have your own team. But at this moment, he can almost be regarded as a commander of the light pole, the original Ming army has long ceased to exist, and the old subordinates who still lead the army are all in high positions, and at the same time, they are under the command of others, and he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to transfer.

These soldiers in front of them are all good soldiers, elite soldiers, if there are really 500 such elite soldiers, it is not worse than the other Huai army of 3,000 people. With the relationship between Zhang Youde and Liu Mingfang, it should be easier to pull Zhang Renjie and his 500 soldiers under his command under his command.

Zhang Renjie also felt Liu Mingchuan's eager vision, it seems that he was right, the wheel of history has not changed, and Liu Mingchuan will be in the near future.

"Renjie, right, this name is good, by the way, remember that your father left nineteen years ago, are you twenty years old this year?" Although Zhang Renjie's skin is a little tanned, he is not old after all, and he doesn't look old, so it seems that no one will object to seventeen or eighteen.

Zhang Renjie smiled: "There is still half a month, and the little nephew will be twenty years old." ”

"Okay, twenty and crown, did your father give you the table words?" Liu Mingchuan nodded slightly and asked.

"Not yet!"

"Then, if I take your words, your father shouldn't object!"

"Sixth, you're not authentic, I originally wanted to take one. But if you can give Renjie a word, my righteous brother will be very happy, he admired you very much! Liu Mingfang interjected with a smile.

Zhang Renjie doesn't pay much attention to the matter of taking the table word, but in this era, everyone has a table word, and this table word does not have to be taken by the family, the elders can do it, and some people still take the table word by themselves. Of course, it would be best if a person's expression was taken by a respected elder.

"As the second uncle said, if my father knew that you gave me the table words, he would definitely be happy." Zhang Renjie echoed Liu Mingfang and said.

"That's good!" Liu Mingchuan nodded with satisfaction. "Junjie looks like a talent, he can be called a good-looking Pan An, handsome and elegant, with both a scholarly atmosphere and a military temperament, and he will be a Confucian general in the future. Now I am worried about internal and external troubles in the Qing Dynasty, and I urgently need capable ministers to assist the government. ”

Liu Mingfang pondered slightly, and said in agreement: "With Jianye as the expression word, yes, the eldest brother named him Renjie, these two words have the meaning of hoping that he will make contributions in the future, it is called Jianye!" Renjie, what do you think?! ”

"Little nephew Xie Sixth Uncle gave the word! From now on, my name will be Zhang Jianye! Zhang Renjie is also quite satisfied with these two words, concise and clear, he just wants to make contributions now.

"Jianye, your official son is donated, this is very unreliable. If you want to continue to be promoted, even if you stuff more silver, it is useless, and you must establish meritorious service. I see that these people under your command don't look like new soldiers, have you ever been on the battlefield? ”

"No, however, the four largest bandits in our Huai'an Mansion have all been wiped out by my brother in the Renzi Battalion. The soldiers under the little nephew have basically seen blood, even if they see a big scene, they will no longer have stage fright. A while ago, I heard that the French devils were carrying out the Qing Dynasty with me in the south, and the brothers were clamoring to be transferred to the front to fight. Ghost. Son! Sixth uncle, you don't know, these 500 brothers are all considered free, just a name, but not in the roster of the Dusi Yamen. The people on the original roster, that is, the original Green Battalion soldiers, are still there. ”
