Six days later, the army approached the capital of Qingzhou, when marching in Laizhou Mansion, they almost did not lose the food of the army, and directly used the salary ticket to buy in the tunpu along the way, and the comprehensive stores were also prepared, and the tunpu in those Changyi was relatively strong, most of them were built with fort walls, and there were strong warehouses in the fort, because Changyi was close to the border of Denglai, and Tunpu had to assume more military station duties.

Deng's Tunpu has actually been infiltrating into Qingzhou Mansion, and some people continue to use Dengzhou nationality to occupy land in the border area, but the prefect of Qingzhou Mansion does not dare to take care of it, and some people come to complain, but he does not do it, and he drags it out.

Now Chen Xin is in full swing with several big victories, and he has to be held by the central and local governments, and the only thorn Zhu Wannian has also been driven away, and the Foreign Affairs Department is dividing those gentlemen, and the means is commercial interests, but the gold mine will never let it.

Shandong officialdom has heard of the matter of Linqing, who did it is obvious, not to say that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, it will be said that the head of the trading company is at most, and the imperial court will never clean up Chen Xin for this kind of thing. Now that Liukou is coercing Shandong, it is only a hundred miles away from Dongchang Mansion, and Dengzhou Town is even more important.

After understanding this truth, the officials along the way did not dare to play tricks in front of Dengzhou Town, nor did they say anything about providing grain and grass every other day, but they would offer two days' worth of grain when they arrived, and they also allowed Dengzhou Town to send troops into the city to purchase meat and vegetables.

Dengzhou Town had a bit of a reputation during the peace, never robbed the people's things, and always gave cash to buy things, which was much better than the shops opened by those profiteers. The news spread very quickly, so the farmers in the surrounding countryside came to sell their own livestock, mostly some domestic animals and poultry raised by themselves, which fully reflected the small shrewdness of Chinese farmers.

Some Danlang also found business opportunities, this army eats a lot of meat and eggs every day, and the meat is more troublesome, but the eggs can be stored for a longer time. They carried their own burdens to collect eggs in the countryside, filled them with wheat stalks and husks, etc., and then caught up with the army, sold the eggs to the GIs, and then repeated the next day.

Chen Xin was very surprised by the body of these Danlang, the burden they carried was not light, and the motivation to make money in business could actually allow them to catch up with the professional army on the march.

There is a small tail behind the army, and there is a tendency to grow bigger and bigger, wherever there are passing villages. Some people went to the side of the road to buy things for the Dengzhou soldiers, which was completely different from the last time they marched with Kong Youde.

The military rations in Dengzhou town consisted mainly of dry rice, which mainly provided the necessary calories, and some cured meats and sausages, which could be preserved for a relatively long time. But they didn't have much to bring, and when they could buy eggs and meat on the way, they tried to buy as much as they could, and the army also had some tea and beans, and when vegetables could not be obtained, they could give each soldier a small amount of tea, or sprout beans from beans. to supplement vitamins.

According to the ambulance soldiers' practice on animals, the fresher the honey is for the wound, and the longer the honey is left for the worse the disinfection effect. So sourcing fresh honey along the way is also one of the responsibilities of the quartermaster.

According to the procurement rules of Dengzhou Town, they are all cash transactions, and the weighing is carried out by the army, and there is no shortage of catties or two. After this march, Qingzhou Mansion left an excellent reputation along the way. Instructors and missionaries also took the opportunity to spread the word everywhere and set up a good image.

On April 18, the Dengzhou army came to the capital of Qingzhou, arrived in Qingzhou at noon, the Qingzhou prefect greeted outside the city, the army stopped on the official road, camped by the river, and the trumpets and drums outside the city of Qingzhou appeared to be orderly. The residents of Qingzhou, who came to see the bustle, were amazed, in the past, the crossing of the guest army was like a disaster, and it was good to grab something. And this army is different from the armies seen before, not only do they not rob along the road, but they also pay cash for things. The soldiers' short outfits were very spiritual, and in the eyes of the common people, they were simply very beautiful, especially the brass buckles on the plackets. These beautiful battalion soldiers never leave the team, only a few people who speak well come out to speak and purchase.

In this way, these common people are not afraid of the soldiers, and gather around the barracks to watch the excitement, some soldiers with white paint on their helmets come and let them stand fifty steps away from the camp wall, and there is no other obstruction, even if some children run up to the near naughty, they just chase after the children and catch them out, and they do not beat and scold viciously, in short, they are very kind.

The prefect of Qingzhou will not be confused by this illusion, he saw Chen Xin's dominance last time, when there were thousands of stones of grain and cattle and carriages, Chen Xin insisted that it was a hundred stones, and he snatched all the horses and grooms, Tao Tingyan was scared half to death, Yu Dacheng could only look at it, and he didn't dare to say anything when he saw Chen Xin again. The prefect of Qingzhou saw Chen Xin's posture at that time, and he really dared to kill.

Now there are more than twice as many soldiers in Dengzhou than last time, the military prestige is more majestic, and there is a Liao general Geng Zhongming who rebelled in Dengzhou, plus the emperor's close minister Lu Zhi, they are all fierce people, how dare the Qingzhou prefect put on the official spectrum, carefully saw Lu Zhi and others, and took the initiative to bow to Chen Xin.

This prefect provided two hundred stone of grain, and was willing to provide some migrant workers to help transport grain to the border of Jinan Mansion, since he gave face, Chen Xin and Lu Zhi were also kind, and the judge of Qingzhou Mansion notified them one by one, and after greeting at the city gate, they entered the city to receive the wind, this group of generals all entered the city with their personal guards, Chen Xin's personal guards were as many as 100 people, although the Qingzhou intelligence station reported no changes, but after all, he had a conflict of interest with many people, or decided to be careful, even Geng Zhongming also brought twenty family members, The city gates were guarded by some pacification guards to prevent anyone from closing the gates.

Brother Guan was camped outside the north gate at this time, and his company did not lift its guard, all of them sat on their backpacks on the spot, and once there was an abnormality, they could support the city gate nearby. The march in April was lukewarm, and Brother Guan walked very comfortably, he is now a second-class non-commissioned officer, Zhong Laosi originally wanted to promote him to the division-level non-commissioned officer chief, but his application to be handed over to the Military Affairs Department was denied, because Brother Guan has not yet passed the most basic chemical examination.

He belongs to the first company of the 20000 headquarters of the 5th Battalion, the company commander is Zhou Shao'er, and the thousand general is Zhong Laosi. Dragged down by this thousand chief officer, Brother Guan went to drink together, and was also deducted from his military salary for three months, but the pension was not deducted, and Zhong Laosi's deputy battalion officer also became a trial deputy battalion officer, and if he committed it again, he would have to cancel this position.

Brother Guan was very distressed about these military salaries, and Zhong Laosi was also scolded by Zhu Daichun, and he restrained a lot on the road, and never mentioned drinking again, but he was still happy, and concentrated on making training plans along the way. And he and Zhu Daichun have been summing up the experience of the Battle of Fuzhou, especially for the use of the detachment, Zhong Laosi now feels more and more useful for the detachment. The formation of the detachment was originally the turtledove's foot, mainly used to break the shield and provide long-range firepower, generally on the two flanks of the large array, and later became a permanent establishment at the level of the thousand headquarters, and the reserve for the first round of salvo and formation battles. Since Zhong Laosi used the detachment as a straggler in Fuzhou, he has always wanted to improve the operational order and wrote a tactical proposal for the attendant room. This method is a way provided by Chen Xin to middle- and lower-level officers, and any suggestions for improving the army can be put forward, and once adopted, military merits can be recorded, and it is easier to be promoted.

Zhong Laosi is now taking Zhou Shao'er and others to place stones. Occasionally, there were loud quarrels, and the troops were led by the deputy company commander, and Brother Guan had been wandering, looking at the big girls and little daughters-in-law who came to see the excitement.

When the firefighters brought the meat cakes, Brother Guan took the cakes and devoured them, at this time, several children smelled the meat and ran over desperately. Leaning in front of the soldiers and smelling the fragrance, Brother Guan laughed, tore off a piece of the mask for a child, and the child took it and bit it. Then he was driven over by the pacifiers and dragged back to the periphery. "Don't eat it for Lao Tzu." Zhong Laosi turned around and scolded him, Brother Guan smirked, Zhong Laosi ignored him anymore and continued to discuss with Zhou Shao'er and others. Brother Guan was about to wipe his mouth with his sleeve after eating, but he was smacked by a hard thing on his face. He hurriedly put down his sleeves, there were three buttons sewn on them, and he couldn't wipe his mouth at all, I heard that Master Chen also came up with it.

Brother Guan had to take out a handkerchief from the pocket of his military uniform and wipe his mouth clean, at this time Zhao Xuan carried the basket and brought some egg cakes over, and gave a small piece to each child, the children were all happy, but the adults did not, but the children could eat it, and they were also very happy.

Zhong Laosi listened to the movement over there, and was scolding again, it seems that he still wants to eat egg cakes, Brother Guan heard Zhao Xuan say, what is this called public relations, it can be done in areas with sufficient supplies. Brother Guan didn't know the pass, but looking at the excitement of those people, Brother Guan was also very happy.

Someone on the east side of the city gate is setting up a stage, Brother Guan looked at it attentively, he has heard that there is an art team to accompany him, I don't know if the little sister is in it, the little sister brought a letter home during the Spring Festival, saying that she has to perform every day, almost all the Tunpu in Denglai, and she has to work overtime to perform during the Spring Festival, and she is busier than usual, so she didn't go home.

He has always wanted to go to the art team to see, but he was restricted from leaving the camp every day, and today he was finally near the art team, but looking at the figure of those people, he didn't see the little sister.

Soon a missionary in civilian clothes came, he muttered to Zhao Xuan for a while, Zhao Xuan quickly came over to find Zhong Laosi, after the two discussed, Zhong Laosi looked at the location of the stage, pointed to Zhou Shao'er, and then Zhou Shao'er walked to Brother Guan's side, "The first company and the first spear flag team listen to the command and stand up!" ”

Fifty soldiers stood up in unison, holding guns and standing still, Zhou Shao'er said loudly: "Put down the spear on the spot, go to the stage to maintain order, and do not let the audience storm the stage, especially not to beat the art members." ”

After the soldiers put down their spears, the flag captain led the team to both sides of the stage, the soldiers all stood with their backs on their backs, Brother Guan stood on the left side, he observed during the march, but still couldn't see the little sister, I heard that the art team now has three performance teams, and the little sister is not necessarily in this team.

The surrounding people saw the stage, and gathered around to wait to watch the play, and the audience was noisy, as lively as a market, some were competing for the position, and some children were squeezed into tears.

This situation did not require the intervention of the soldiers, and some of the pacifiers and instructors persuaded them, and the crowding eased somewhat, but it was still very noisy.

Soon began to sing on stage, a female voice sounded, Brother Guan was a spirit, he listened to the little sister sing a lot on weekdays, and he was very familiar with it for a long time, this voice was clearly the little sister's.

The captain was beside him, he didn't dare to turn his head when he stood there, he couldn't see the appearance of the little sister, he just listened to the voice of the little sister and grinned and smirked, the captain passed in front of him twice, and he looked at the eldest brother Guan twice inexplicably, and he didn't see anyone listening to the play and hearing it like this.

When the two got married, there was laughter in the audience, the people always like to see men and women ambiguous or something, and soon got married, Tartar Huang Taiji came on the stage, and immediately killed several relatives and friends who participated in the wedding, and the audience was scolding, although Brother Guan couldn't see the stage, he also gritted his teeth when he heard it.

At this time, Xiaomei screamed loudly on the stage, and several men in the audience were about to rush to the stage.

"The first team stops them!" The captain shouted. Brother Guan and the others immediately ran over to grab those people, he took this opportunity to turn his head and look, only to see a fat tartar smiling lewdly pulling the little sister's clothes, the little sister was crying in panic, Brother Guan had a bang in his head, and a stream of blood rushed up.

He didn't think about anything in his head, he let go of the people he was grabbing, and jumped onto the stage with both hands.

The little sister only saw someone coming up, and immediately shouted, "Here we go again." Fat man run! ”

The fat man reacted quickly, put the switch on the little sister and turned around and fled, but he ran past the eldest brother Guan, and as soon as he ran two steps, he was thrown to the ground by the eldest brother Guan, and the stage was full of screams. Brother Guan slammed his head and face at the fat man, and the audience was full of cheers.

"Kill the Tartars!!"

"Dengzhou soldier is good! Kill the Tartars! ”

Tang Wei covered his face and screamed, rolling on the ground, he also saw that it was a soldier beating him, and begged for mercy at first, but later saw that the other party didn't stop at all, and scolded instead. While still shouting.

Guan Xiaomei was stunned for a while, and finally recognized that it was her brother, and suddenly laughed, went up and pulled Brother Guan's arm and shouted, "Brother." It's you, why did you come here, aren't you in Lushun? ”

At this time, there was a great chaos on and off the stage, and the soldiers stood in front of the stage. Those people were not allowed to come to the stage, and the leaders of the art team also ran over to grab Brother Guan. Brother Guan was pulled away, and kicked Tang Wei twice.

Guan Xiaomei pulled his brother's sleeve and cried and laughed, and then carefully touched the scar on Brother Guan's face.

Brother Guan panted and said to Guan Xiaomei: "Little sister, don't be afraid, I'll beat this bastard for you." ”

The little sister sneered, "Brother, this is a member of our art team, just acting, not a real tartar, he doesn't really want to rob me." ”

"What I saw, he's here to pull you......"

"That's all acting, it's a teammate when you get off the stage, and besides, why can't he rob me, he really can't beat me." Guan Xiaomei said a little proudly.

At this time, the captain of Brother Guan ran up to the stage in a hurry, and kept apologizing to the captain of the art team, even Zhou Shao'er came over, the actors of the art team were beaten many times, and they all heard of these officers, he said to the captain of the art team: "I'm sorry, this soldier is a straight man, he has no bad intentions, we will punish him down." ”

After Zhou Shao'er finished speaking, he apologized to Tang Wei on the ground, Tang Wei rolled on the ground and shouted: "The soldier beats his comrades and violates military discipline, if you don't punish him, I will sue the military justice team!" ”

Zhou Shao'er was so anxious that she rubbed her hands, so she had to scold Brother Guan. Brother Guan also knew that he shouldn't be beaten at this time, so he drooped his head, and he didn't know how he would be punished this time.

Guan Xiaomei kicked Tang Wei is foot and yelled at Tang Wei: "He is my brother!" Then she said happily to the other teammates: "This is my brother, the first first-class white-bladed assault medal in our Dengzhou Town is his!" ”

The stage was too chaotic and noisy just now, and the people around him only understood at this time, the tall and handsome Xu Yuanhua immediately came over and whispered to Zhou Shao'er: "This adult, this is nothing, this fat man is often beaten, it's not a big deal, my second uncle is Director Xu of the Civil Department, please don't punish Brother Guan." ”

Zhou Shao'er glanced at Xu Yuanhua, didn't say anything, and turned his head to look at the fat soldier.

Tang Wei heard what Guan Xiaomei shouted just now, his eyes turned to Zhou Shao'er and said: "This chief, please don't punish this hero, I admire these heroes the most on weekdays, I just get fat, I actually like soldiers the most, this Brother Guan heard that he was still born and died in southern Liaoning, I was happy to be beaten by him, he just wanted to protect his sister, I understand, understand, I have encountered a lot, I don't pursue it,." ”

"This little chief, have you heard, the fat man will not be investigated, you are not allowed to punish my brother." Guan Xiaomei said loudly to Zhou Shao'er.

"That's fine." Zhou Shao'er couldn't wait for this, seeing that the military judge was not beside him, he hurriedly said to Brother Guan: "Brother Guan, apologize to this comrade-in-arms, this matter is over." ”

Tang Wei wiped his nosebleed and immediately said, "Uncle...... No, big brother, don't apologize, get off the stage, it'll be troublesome when the military judge comes, but don't fight actors in the future, I'm also very hard, although I play a bad guy, but I'm really a good guy, but some play a good guy, it's really a bad guy when you come down, if you want to beat it in the future, just beat that kind of person.
