Chapter 230: Mistaken
Staff General? What is the position of a staff general? Lin Wanrong hesitated for a while and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Xu, this war is to kill people, the younger brother is naturally timid, and he is afraid of death, where can he get on the battlefield?" ”
Xu Wei laughed and said, "Little Brother Lin is really straightforward enough. To tell you the truth, old decay is actually afraid of death. However, we have an absolute advantage in killing White Lotus this time, and you are a staff general, so you don't need to fight in person at all, as long as you plan in the army. In addition, I will send the high chief to guard you every step of the way, little brother just go. ”
He has seen the skills of the high chief, the emperor's personal guard, how bad is the kung fu? In this way, it can be regarded as an emperor-like enjoyment, and this old man Xu Wei is quite willing to spend his blood. Lin Wanrong pretended to be reserved and said: "Mr. Xu, there are many talented people in your army, but why do you keep pulling me there?" The younger brother has never been on the battlefield at all, and he is afraid when he sees the big blade, and he is dizzy when he sees blood, and he can't help if he is afraid. ”
Xu Wei shook his head and said, "Little brother is too modest." Your ability is what the old man has seen with his own eyes, astronomy and geography, physics and mathematics, everything is capable, and the old man admires it very much. Even if you haven't been on the battlefield, what can you do? Which officer or soldier in the army did not come from the first time? At present, although there are elite soldiers and good generals, but there is no strategist, relying on the strength of the old decay alone, even if he tries his best, I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of everything, so I specially invite the little brother to be my staff general and give me advice. ”
Hearing him say this, Lin Wanrong felt much more comfortable, there was no danger, and she could experience the battlefield in person, which was really exciting. But it's a matter of life. But he couldn't be sloppy, he thought about it, and said, "Mr. Xu, how many soldiers and horses do you have?" ”
Xu Wei stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of him. Smirked.
"Half a million?" Lin Wanrong was taken aback, my day, this scale is so big, you can drown Jinling City with a few bubbles of urine.
Xu Wei almost fainted, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not either, it's 50,000 people." There are 40,000 foot battalions, 10,000 cavalry battalions, and 5,000 Shenji battalions. ”
Fifty thousand? Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and she was a little embarrassed in her heart, she had read too many novels. It is a million-level war at every turn, and it will take 500,000 people to exterminate a White Lotus Sect. Isn't that laughing to death? But if your old man stretches out five fingers to show off like that, whoever sees it will be 500,000.
"Then how many centaurs does the White Lotus Sect have?" Lin Wanrong asked again.
Xu Wei stretched out five fingers and shook them a few times, this time Lin Wanrong was cautious and said directly: "Fifty thousand? ”
Xu Wei almost bit his tongue, he was already beginning to suspect now. Hiring Lin San as a staff general is not a big mistake. This kid doesn't have any military common sense, I'm here to clear the white lotus. If it's 50,000 against 50,000, pay off a fart.
"Five thousand!" Xu Wei said with a red cheek.
"Only five thousand?" Lin Wanrong almost couldn't believe her ears, she was stunned, and then she said to herself: "Five thousand people, it's not fun to hit the ground." ”
Xu Wei was beaten by Lin San's words, and he didn't have a temper at all, this is a war, it will kill people, not a child's house. He sighed and said, "This White Lotus Sect is entrenched in Shandong. It is claimed that there are tens of thousands of people, but there are only about 5,000 people who can actually fight, and all of them are untrained sergeants, and their combat strength is not comparable to that of our infantry battalion and cavalry battalion. We have about 50,000 men, and we have more than 5,000 enemies and 10 people fighting one person, so we have a sure chance of winning. ”
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu, if the battle is all about the number of people, then there is no need to fight, just send someone to go up and fight." Fighting is a war with the right time, place and people, and there are countless examples of winning more with less, so we must not take it lightly. ”
These two sentences also looked like a staff general, Xu Wei felt a little better in his heart, and nodded: "-Brother is extremely true, the old man is worried about being arbitrary, so he invited the little brother to accompany me." With my infantry battalion sergeant, plus the Shenji battalion, if I can't win this battle, I won't have the face to come back to see my father in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
"Divine Machine Battalion?" Lin Wanrong suddenly became interested: "Is there a red-coated cannon?" ”
Xu Wei nodded and said, "Shenji Battalion, in addition to the strong bow and crossbow, there are also ten improved red-clothed cannons. Speaking of which, the improvement of this red-clothed cannon is thanks to you, Brother Lin. ”
"Oh? Where does this start? As soon as he heard that there was artillery support, Lin Wanrong suddenly became energetic, as Xu Wei said, 50,000 people fight 5,000, and this red-clothed cannon bombards indiscriminately, if you can't win the battle, it's better to find a piece of tofu and kill it.
"Brother Xue, do you remember that French Tavoni? Are they the two people who were caught by Tao Dongcheng? Xu Wei said.
Nonsense, Tavoni can I not remember? The old boy also promised to bring two little French beauties over next time he went to Dahua, and the diamond business would also be handed over to me for exclusive management. In return, Tavoni has the exclusive rights to operate perfume and soap in Europe, and he also does the same when it comes to buying and selling tea and silk. In this way, my third brother Lin is also the first person in Eurasian trade, this maritime Silk Road was paved by me personally, hehe, I don't have a name in history.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "It's ruthless, remember, that old brother looks so strange, it's hard to forget." By the way, is that Tavoni still in Hai'an? Have their ironclad ships been repaired, and have they returned to France? ”
Xu Wei said with a smile: "The last time my little brother asked me to find more skilled craftsmen to go to Hai'an to help the French repair ships, I selected a dozen or so capable craftsmen from the Shenji Battalion to follow them to Hai'an. I don't know if I don't know this, but I was shocked when I saw it, these ghostly ironclad ships were really hard, and the structure was ingenious, suitable for ocean crossing. The artillery on their ship, compared with our Dahua, is much stronger in terms of accuracy and firepower. These craftsmen stayed there for more than ten days, and only came back after thoroughly understanding the structure of the artillery, and then transformed our Dahua artillery, and the power was on par with those Western cannons. ”
I see, I asked you to send people to let you see the technical level of Westerners and promote the industrial development of Dahuadi
Develop. It seems that there is something to be gained. Lin Wanrong nodded and asked, "Then what do you think of the Westerners' ironclad ships?" ”
Xu Wei sighed: "These craftsmen are all elites of my Divine Machine Camp, but they have nothing to do with that ironclad ship. According to their speculation. The iron armor on the ironclad ship is definitely not something that can be made by a blacksmith shop, and I don't know how these Westerners did it? ”
Lin Wanrong sighed heavily, others are in the mechanical age, we are still in the manual era, and the gap in basic industry is by no means something that can catch up in one or two days. This path has been pointed out to Xu Wei, and I have also done the land affairs that should be done, whether you think it is good to learn or not, it is completely up to you.
Xu Wenchang saw that Lin San's expression suddenly became gloomy for some reason. Puzzled, he hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, this time." Would you like to help me? ”
Xu Wenchang told him such a major military secret without reservation, which was a great trust in him. In this world, if there is anyone who can compete with Lin Wanrong in vision, it is Xu Wei.
That's it. To help him is to help myself, to exterminate the White Lotus and clear the civil strife. Let Xu Wei rehabilitate the artillery well, pull it up to the north in the spring of next year, boom a few cannons, and knock those Hu people down. With a gun in hand, the world is worry-free, and he farts with the Hu people and asks them to go back to their hometown to let them go.
After making up her mind, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, there is naturally no problem in going to you to be this staff general." But you know it. Cheng De and I have a deep knot. If I leave, they will come to the Xiao family to take revenge, and my restaurant, no one will take care of it, I am very worried. ”
Xu Wei smiled: "Don't worry about this, Brother Luo has thought of this a long time ago." Didn't Cheng De take the initiative to ask Ying to transfer the Jiangsu infantry battalion to the border between the two provinces, so I did his wish and transferred his soldiers and horses to see if he would go or not. ”
It's all old foxes, Lin Wanrong sighed in her heart, Xu Wei took advantage of Cheng Dedi's psychology and planned it. If the Jiangsu soldiers and horses drove to the border of the two provinces, they fell into the palm of Xu Wei's 50,000 army, if they did not leave Jinling, Xu Weiqing would be more assured to suppress Bailian, and at the same time, with his army on the side, where would Cheng De dare to act rashly.
"The restaurant run by the Xiao family and you not only has the masters under Brother Luo secretly guarding each other, but I will also dispatch elite soldiers and strong generals to protect them secretly. With my army by my side, I believe that Cheng De does not have the courage to openly raise troops, and the little brother can rest assured. Xu Wei added.
Xu Wenchang's sincerity has come to this point, Lin Wanrong has nothing to say, and then hugged his fists and said: "Okay, since Mr. Wenchang values Lin San so much, if I refuse, it will be hypocritical." Just ask Mr. Xu to tell his wife, I took this errand, and went over to help Mr. Xu with chores. ”
Xu Wei laughed: "Brother Gang is willing to help me, and I am grateful." In this case, I will ask the little brother to prepare tomorrow, and we will set off early the next morning. ”
The two made an appointment at the time and place of meeting, and Xu Wenchang went to report to Mrs. Xiao with Chief Gao, and then left.
It was already dusk, Lin Wanrong thought that she was about to go to the battlefield, she was worried and excited, walking around her room, and she couldn't survive for a moment.
"Let's go see Qiaoqiao." He said to himself. After all, this is going to the battlefield, and the things that should be explained have to be explained, and it happens that he is his wife who has not passed the door, so there must be an explanation.
When I arrived at the food for the fairy, it was already closing. He quietly went upstairs, and saw that the lights in the boudoir were bright, and the girl didn't know what she was doing.
A tenderness rose in his heart, and warmth spread throughout his heart, and when he sneaked into the house, he saw a woman with her back to her, embroidering something under the oil lamp.
Lin Wanrong smiled, approached as lightly as a tanuki, suddenly wrapped her hands around her waist, and chuckled: "Winter baby, do you miss me?" ”
The woman tensed all over her body and was about to scream, when she suddenly heard his voice, her body stopped, and she trembled slightly: "Brother Lin, is it you?" ”
The moment Lin Wanrong touched the woman's waist, she already knew that something was wrong. What kind of person is he, a master of touching and grasping, this start, it is different from Qiaoqiao's feeling. The woman's waist was delicate and smooth, full of elasticity, and seemed to be a little thinner than Qiaoqiao's.
Ouch, it's not good, he touched the wrong person, his mind was on fire, but his hand gently kneaded a few more handfuls on the woman's body, and said with a smile: "Qiaoqiao, isn't it the eldest brother?" "It's a tried and tested method, and every man does. It's called making mistakes when it's wrong, and there's no flaw to be found.
The woman turned around, glanced at him faintly, and said softly, "Big brother." It's me, Ning'er! ”
Lin Wanrong was so shocked that she took three steps back, looking frightened: "Miss Luo, how could it be you?" ”
Luo Ning saw that he was far away from him, as if he was a flood beast, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and say softly: "Brother Lin, are you here to find a coincidence?" ”
"That's right. Oh, I'm sorry just now, I made a mistake. Lin Wanrong's face didn't blush, and she explained slowly.
Luo Ning's face turned red to her neck. I didn't know where to put my hands, so I hurriedly lowered my head and didn't dare to speak.
Chick, say it quickly. Say you're willing to let me touch it. Lin Wanrong screamed shamelessly in her heart. Luo Ning's confession last night made him a little complaining, but the rumor that Miss Luo was going to recruit a son-in-law that was circulating in the market today made him feel a little deceived, and his mind was inevitably perverted.
In the end, Lin Wanrong was disappointed, how could Luo Ning's skin be so thick. I lowered my head and didn't dare to say a word. Qiaoqiao Nannizi didn't know where to go, and for a while, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the room was eerie.
Lin Wanrong didn't know what to say, and saw that Luo Ning was holding a piece of red and thin silk-like satin in her hand, and she was embroidering something on it.
"Miss Luo, embroidery!" Lin Wanrong thought that she had found a gap to open the topic, so she smiled shyly.
Luo Ning sighed, and hurriedly hid the red satin behind her, she was already shy, but now her face was even more burning, and her little face was red. It seems to be dripping.
Lin Wanrong thought about it carefully, and suddenly woke up, ouch, Lao Tzu really didn't know anything, what kind of satin is that, it is a woman's profane clothes, no wonder the style looks so strange, and I don't know if it's a back button or a front button.
Now the fire between the two of them is completely dead, and it has come to this point, Lin Wanrong is also a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, hehe laughed a few times and said: "This, Miss Luo, this kind of clothing is not conducive to the development of your body, and it is easy to cause some sagging." Our Xiao family has recently launched some new women's underwear, scientific and fitness, I will send you ten sets of eight sets of land tomorrow, and you will change your underwear to play if you have nothing to do. ”
"Big brother-" Luo Ning couldn't bear his coquettish words, snorted, and hurriedly buried his head in his chest. Lin Wanrong looked at the situation, only to see her silver teeth biting lightly, her face was like fire, her snow-white neck was tinged with a touch of pink, her plump chest rose and fell sharply, and the twin peaks stood on the top of the magnificent waves, almost wanting to break out of her clothes.
"That, Miss Luo," Lin Wanrong swallowed with difficulty, and said without words: "Why are you here?" ”
Luo Ning hummed softly: "I'm almost in good health today, and I don't want to stay at home alone, so I came here with Qiaoqiao, but I met my eldest brother again." ”
Oh, I see, Lin Wanrong wanted to ask about the kiss, but after thinking about it, isn't Lao Tzu boring for himself, it's this chick chasing me, please be a man with a little dignity.
"Are you really well? Still have a fever? How about eating? Lin Wanrong asked.
The red on Luo Ning's face faded a lot, and she raised her head and smiled sweetly: "It's really much better, I coincidentally made a lot of delicious food for me today, and my eldest brother will be blessed in the future." ”
Naturally, I don't have to say anything about Qiaoqiao's craftsmanship, but why is this Nizi missing, I haven't seen her come out to serve her husband for so long. was about to ask Luo Ning, but Luo Ning asked, "Brother Lin, will you participate in the poetry meeting?" ”
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, I didn't ask, but this chick took the initiative to mention it. He smiled and said: "Is this poetry meeting, it's a matter of your talented people, I am only responsible for paying for the sponsorship, and it will be the same whether you come or not." ”
Luo Ning's face turned pale and said, "Big brother, didn't we say that the land was good that day, you must come to participate." ”
Lin Wanrong smiled, Luo Ning invited him to participate in this poetry competition that day, he once joked that even if he went, he would only eat and drink, and it would not be of much use. What's more, he didn't have much interest in this poetry competition. Lin Wanrong said helplessly: "Miss Luo, it's useless for me to go, I'm not interested in these at all, but I make others laugh." ”
Luo Ning gritted her teeth and looked at him and said, "Big brother, you must come, you must come, otherwise, Ning'er-" Tears rolled in her eyes, and she couldn't say anything anymore.
Will the poems be so heavy? Could it be that what kind of marriage is true? But why didn't this girl tell me directly, I really don't understand. Seeing Luo Ningchu's pitiful appearance, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but sigh and said, "Miss Luo." Do you have something to say to me? ”
Luo stared at him and said with teary eyes: "Big brother, what Ning Er said to you last night is true, you must believe me." ”
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "I know." But I have something urgent. I'm going to leave Jinling the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if I'll be able to come back when the poetry meeting will take place. "He is now Xu Wei's staff general, and he has important military affairs, and he doesn't know how long the battle to clean up the White Lotus will take, where will he have time to pay attention to the Poetry Club.
Luo Ningyan's face turned miserable when he heard this, and he looked at him blankly and said, "Big brother, are you leaving Jinling?" ”
Lin Wanrong nodded: "Yes, there are some very important things to do." ”
"And when will you be able to come back?" Luo Ning said softly.
"I'm not sure about this." Lin Wanrong hesitated. Where is the war accurate: "Maybe it's three or five days, maybe-"
"Big brother, you must come to this poetry club—" Luo Ning cut off his words. Lai Lai wept, and the clothes on his chest were already wet with tears.
Must come? This chick is too domineering. Lin Wanrong glanced at Luo Ning helplessly, but saw her burst into tears, tears slowly flowing down her white neck, indescribably pure and pitiful.
Lin Wanrong couldn't stand it anymore. This chick cries softly in my heart, that's it, that's it. It's a big deal to ask Xu Wei for a leave of absence and rush back from Shandong, damn, who let Lao Tzu eat beauty. He despised himself and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't cry, I promise you, I will come back when the time comes." ”
"Really?" Luo Ning suddenly became happy. His pale face was a little flushed, and his long eyelashes trembled, with a little bright teardrop, which shimmered seductively in the dim light.
"Shall I say yes and not be drowned by your tears?" Lin Wanrong laughed.
Luo Ning's face flushed, her big watery eyes glanced at Lin Wanrong, and said lightly: "Brother Lin, you are so good to me." ”
Khan, this is Qiaoqiao's favorite local language, when did Luo Ning learn this girl.
"Big brother, today is the thirteenth day of the winter month, and there are still seventeen days before the poetry meeting, you must come back then, Ning'er is waiting for you on the shore of Xuanwu Lake." Luo Ning counted with her fingers, that look looked like a talented girl who was famous in Jinling.
It's over, it's over, Lao Tzu's biggest weakness is finally exposed, if there is an enemy who casts a beauty trick on Lao Tzu, I must surrender obediently. Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly, and then saw that the dirty clothes in Luo Ning's hand were embroidered, but they were a pair of things that looked like birds and not birds.
Luo Ning saw that his eyes were fixed on the profane clothes, he couldn't help blushing, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made great determination, his hands trembled slightly, holding the obscene clothes in his hands, letting him watch it, only burying his head in his chest and listening to the sound of his heartbeat.
"Miss Luo, are you embroidering this pair of birds? It's so pretty. Lin Wanrong's eyes widened, and she said innocently.
"Brother Lin, this is not a bird, it's a mandarin duck," as soon as she finished speaking, she realized
Fooled, how can a woman say the truth of mandarin ducks in front of men. What's more, with his talents, how can he not know the mandarin duck? She was so ashamed that she covered her red cheeks with her hands, and said softly: "Big brother, you are so bad-"
Lin Wanrong smiled, usually the meaning of the chick when she said this sentence is, big brother, you are so bad, I hope you are even worse. Should Lao Tzu be a little worse? Last night was a trick in Luo Ning's room, but tonight it was Luo Ning in a clever room, it's really a heavenly cycle, retribution, retribution!
Lin Wanrong coughed dryly and said, "This, Miss Luo, I didn't mean it, just like I touched the wrong person, it wasn't intentional." ”
"Big brother-" Luo Ning lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "Don't say anything light, Ning Er can't bear it, you are the enemy of my life." ”
In a word, Lin Wanrong's heart was crisp, wronged? My day, listening to a beautiful chick say this kind of thing, it's really invincible, it's just a naked teasing.
Luo Ning muttered, her head was about to be lowered to her feet and neck, Lin Wanrong smiled, and was about to speak, but she heard a delicate voice from upstairs: "Sister Ning, I'm done washing, please hand me my clothes." ”
This voice is extremely familiar, it is Qiaoqiao baby. Luo stared at him and said shyly: "Sister Qiaoqiao is taking a bath upstairs, so I will send clothes with her." ”
"Really?" Lin Wanrong let out a lewd tone in her nose: "Don't panic, Miss Luo, I'll go with you." ”
Luo Ning's heart trembled, her hands shook, and her shirt fell to the ground in shock.
