Before Jia Jiying returned to Beijing, he was unexpectedly taken to the execution ground outside Zhengjiazhuang and witnessed a massacre.

Jia Jiying thought that Long Qian had told him that something was wrong at first, so he followed Ding Xiaofu, the commander of the guard company, to a clearing outside the village with his back against the hillside, where thousands of people had gathered, including soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and villagers standing in the outer circle of soldiers, which was very lively. When I asked, I realized that it was the bandit leader who publicly shot the calf!

Jia Jiying was beating a drum in his heart, he had never seen such a murderous scene. When Ding Xiaofu brought him to Long Qian's side, he saw Jiang Yun talking to Long Qian and a few others, and when he saw him, Jiang Yun beckoned him over and said with a smile, "Lao Jia, you must have never seen this kind of scene." I told you to open your eyes. The town guard is still afraid that you can't stand it, I said that this world is chaotic, let Lao Jia see the blood, and strengthen his courage, there is no harm. ”

Jia Jiying sighed in his heart. He had already guessed that this young man was Long Qian's henchman, but it was difficult to determine what exactly he did. Probably bathed last night, that baby face is radiant, behind the childishness of the face is the evil charm that can't be concealed, when it comes to killing, it's like killing a chicken, and it doesn't take it seriously.

"Brother Junchen rested well last night?" Long Qian asked with a smile. Jia Jiying dealt with it randomly, "Thank you for your concern__" His eyes had already turned to the execution ground, and when he saw the crowd in the commotion, a group of soldiers dragged several people tied up to the bottom of the hillside, and the two people were responsible for one, beating and kicking a row of bandit leaders who were tied up like zongzi, and forcing them to kneel in a row, Jia Jiying counted, a total of ten. I saw the soldiers dodge to both sides, and walked past ten soldiers with short guns. Each of them stood behind the kneeling bandit leader and pointed their guns at the back of the bandit's head. Some of the kneeling bandit leaders scolded, some cried, and some begged for mercy. A man who looked like an officer ran over and raised his hand to salute Long Qian, Long Qian didn't wait for him to speak, raised his right hand and slashed at him! The officer saluted again, ran over and shouted something, and the gun rang out.

In the second exclamation, Jia Jiying's eyes widened. I saw that all the ten bandit leaders who knelt down were crooked. Because the short guns were fired at the back of their heads, there was no need for re-fire.

"Brother Junchen, don't think I'm cruel. To be tolerant of these bandit leaders in the troubled places is a crime against the good people! You say, don't you? Long Qian's voice seemed to float from a long distance, and Jia Jiying only felt that his palms were full of sweat. My legs trembled.

Soldiers have long dragged the dead bandits away. There was another commotion. A dozen soldiers dragged a few sturdy-tied bandits to their position again, and this time the officer who commanded the killing didn't ask for any more instructions, waiting for them to be fiddled with. At the sound of an order, several short guns were fired again, killing six more bandits.

The soldiers went up and began to untie the blood-stained ropes from the dead bandits. Jia Jiying knew that the murder was over. Sixteen living beings were turned into rotten meat in a matter of minutes.

"Sixteen bullets were wasted in vain." Long Qian clapped his hands, "I didn't let them use knives." Shooting is a relatively civilized way, the Wasion Army is a civilized army, even against the vicious bandits, I will end their dogs in a civilized way. Brother Junchen, I wish you a smooth journey. He stretched out his hand to Jia Jiying, and Jia Jiying stretched out his hand to shake it, "Zhang Xiaoding will accompany you back." Let's leave it at that. ”

"Okay, leave it at that." Jia Jiying had long wanted to leave the slaughterhouse.

Zhang Xiaoding, who was dressed in civilian clothes, led a mule and waited for him, "Mr. Jia, please." ”

"No, I'd better take a walk."

"Mr. Jia hasn't seen a killing?"

"Jia Moujie businessman, where have you seen such a bloody scene__" Leaving the crowd, Jia Jiying's mood stabilized a lot.

"You're okay. Some of the people threw up at that time. ”

"You've ever killed someone?"

"I am a soldier of the Mengshan army, and if I don't kill him in the two armies, he will kill me. These are the leaders of the most evil bandits, who have harmed countless people, and it is cheaper for them to die so happily__"

Jiang Yun stared at Jia Jiying's back. Today's execution of the head of the calf bandits are all people from the action department, although they are all backbone members of the combat force, but the work of killing people at close range has not been done (white-knuckle combat can not be counted), knowing that Long Qian executed the head of the bandits today, Jiang Yun decided to let the people of the action team do this, and at the same time called Jia Jiying to watch the execution, the intention is self-evident. But how effective it will be remains to be tested.

Long Qian was also looking in the same direction, he watched Jia Jiying and Zhang Xiaoding disappear on the road to Zhengjiazhuang Village, and his gaze returned to Ning Shijun, "Is that note written?" ”

"It's written."

"Okay, let's go back too. The small leaders did not let go for the time being, and stayed in Shiyuan for labor reform. Ordinary bandits can be replenished into the army. Just follow the plan we discussed in advance. Long Qian said to several officers around him.

Long Qian Tuoning Shijun wrote the first letter to the imperial court, and in his tone, he reported the situation of leading the army back to Lunan to exterminate the Baoqianggu bandits, and also reported the plan for the reorganization of the right wing of the Weisheng Army, listing the establishment of the troops and the names of the commanders, but omitting the situation of the military academy and the reserve headquarters of the battalion. He put forward the amount of silver money consumed by the right wing of the Wasion Army every month and the calculation standard, military salary, grain and grass, clothing, ammunition consumption and miscellaneous expenses, the table was made by him personally, and the standard was based on Yuan Shikai's right army of Wuwei, after the troops were all full, it would cost 14,500 taels of silver per month. However, it was stated that there was currently a serious shortage of troops and weapons, and that the troops needed to be replenished vigorously. At present, the troops can support for three to four months, and then they will run out of food. Therefore, the imperial court needs to give instructions as soon as possible, will Shandong Province bear the burden or the household department will allocate the silver? Even more urgent was the replenishment of weapons, and the number of guns, artillery, ammunition and shells needed by the troops was also listed in a table showing the quantities that were missing. Please advise the Imperial Court on how to get supplements.

Song Shu also proposed a plan for troops to be stationed in the two states, and asked the imperial court for approval.

Of course, Song Shu inevitably wrote an official article, expressing his great concern for the imperial court in Taiyuan. He said that he would continue to attack Xiangma in Lunan and guarantee that all bandits in Yizhou and Yanzhou would be wiped out within a year, so please rest assured that the imperial court would be reassured.

Regarding the implementation of Lunan's new policy, Long Qian did not mention a word.

The report will be copied to the governor of Jinan's yamen. Because the right flank of the Wasion Army is a unit directly under the central government. In doing so, Long Qian did not mean to flout the Shandong provincial government.

"It seems that Shi Jun needs you to go to Taiyuan in person. Others are not suitable. Long Qian read the manuscript, "Situ went to Jiaoao, I don't know what the situation is, you go to Jinan to see Yuan Shikai first, what should you say that you know the way." There are a lot of things going on at home, you go and go back quickly. ”

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow."

"Not necessarily. Lao Song came up with a share distribution plan, and waited for this money-sharing plan to be passed before leaving. You remember passing through Yanzhou, going to see Cao Kun, if he was there. Let's just say that I welcome him to Wasion Army as a guest. Prepare him a little present. Pick a few of those things you brought back from Beijing, you know better than me. ”

Cao Kun's troops were still in Yanzhou and had not withdrawn. It seems that the right wing of the Wasion Army may not be able to take over the two states very smoothly.

"Yuan Futai also has to prepare a gift there?"

"No, Yuan Shikai doesn't have to send it there."

"Why is that?"

"The imperial court has the intention of containing Yuan Shikai with me. He doesn't like me being close to him. The more difficult it is for Yuan Shikai to me. The more beneficial it may be for us. ”

"Commander. It's time for Chen Jiaya's business. Ning Shijun smiled, "How many days have you been back?" It's not good to drag Miss Chen Shu like this. Sun Juan came to me that day. I want to tell you, do you dare. Let me tell you about it. ”

"I know what you mean. But it's not appropriate for me to go, who is better to go? ”

"Of course you can't go. I think let's ask Xiao Guanyu to go. ”

"Lao Xiao is a good friend of Mr. Chen, so he is not suitable to represent me."

"Then, tell Shen Wuzhi from Zhangqian Village to go? Most of us didn't have a family, and Zhou Yi begged for a wife, but he was too young. ”

"Yes, yes," Long Qian narrowed his eyes, a little absent-minded.

"Don't be half-hearted. Chen Shu is good, her temperament has changed a lot, and she feels like a different person when she comes back. It's all for you. If you don't marry, it's not easy for us to do that. ”

"Hey! It's as if I'm in your way. Just like Zhou Yi, if you like it, you will propose marriage, as long as the woman is willing. But I suspect that in addition to Lu Shan, a few of you are afraid that you are thinking about the young lady who was established, right? Especially you, your background is okay, you must not be like me, you will be satisfied if you marry a village girl. ”

"Commander, you're really joking. It's not that I'm busy and can't take care of it. ”

"The most important thing is to know each other. I don't really care about origin. The reason why I have some concerns is because I am destined to have no peace in this life, and I don't want to disturb others......"

This is not true. Long Qian scolded himself. But how can a girl in this era be suitable for herself? There should be a home, right? In addition, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not yet fallen, he is fledgling, and there are too many places to look up to people's snorts, so he has a so-called famous lady, and the door is not out of the second door, and then he is wrapped in a pair of small feet, and he is not as as Chen Shu. At least Chen Shu's personality looks quite hearty and generous......

"Do you miss Miss Chen? Actually, it's not that much. You can totally go. Ning Shijun said with a smile.

"Get out of the way! I'm thinking about something big. Long Qian showed a rare embarrassed look.

"Ha Luha, the commander thinks too much about the big things. Think of Miss Chen. We, the old brothers of the Mengshan Army, are all looking forward to having a housewife as soon as possible. If Lao Shen doesn't object, I'll go to him and say that he must have intended to do this thing to please you. ”

"Okay, it's up to you." Long Qian nodded, "You can also worry about Lu Shan's affairs, at least help him choose a matchmaker." ”

Indeed, the Chen family is worried. Chen Chao wiped his face and mentioned it to others, Chen Shu even went to visit the house in person, but there was no movement there, and it became a hot shaved head, which made You deeply annoyed, and he couldn't say it in front of the children, and he complained to his husband behind his back I don't know how many times, now that he is a big official, of course he can't look down on Shu'er, I knew that Lu Dao was like this, and I would rather let Shu'er complain for a while, than let her complain about us for a lifetime. Shu'er has let you delay, you don't want to bind your feet, you indulge, you don't want to learn from women, you are also indulgent, dancing knives and sticks, you also agree. This is good, at her age, she can't get married! It is said that Mengshanjun will leave soon, and as soon as he leaves, what do you want Shu'er to do?

Chen Chao was also deeply annoyed, and scolded Long Qian countless times in his heart. Intuitively, he thought that Long Qian was not the kind of person who turned his face and didn't recognize people, but the facts were mocking him again. It's been more than half a month since I came back, and I haven't said a word, what is this called? This matter has been spread by the villagers, if it is messed up, how can it show up in Chenjiaya? Recently, Luo Xiucai's family has been looking for it, and it has been gone for half a year. There is no news at all, and people are in a hurry. Where is Gansu, the countrymen can't tell it at all, thousands of miles apart, like fluttering out of the sea, in case there is a mistake, people are you sent out!

In Chen Chao's chagrin, Shen Wuxian finally came to the door, and said congratulations when he opened his mouth, saying that he was here to be a matchmaker. One sentence made You Shi, who was standing under the eaves with a dustpan, overjoyed. "To whom? Shen Cai? Please sit in the room. ”

"Brother and sister. Of course, it's a lady. How can a sister talk about her sister before she gets married? Isn't it? This cup of happy wine, I Lao Shen is sure to drink it. Ha Lu Ha. ”

You Shi didn't wait for her husband to speak, "Oh, Shen Cai, who is the man?" "She wasn't at ease. Don't get bogged down. Shu'er's girl is all about that person.

"Who else? We've spread it all over the country. Just in front of me. How many girls envy our lady, Commander Long! Chief of Staff Ning personally went to my village and asked me to be a matchmaker. Propose to your brother and sister! Although Shu'er is a niece, everyone knows that your husband and wife treat her more than your own daughter. What do you think? Brother and sister, I'm still a matchmaker, right? ”

You Shi's heart finally fell into his stomach, and he smiled, "Welcome, welcome, how can you not welcome it?" You see, I didn't even bother to make you tea__"

Coincidentally, Shen Wuzhi entered the door with his front foot, and Xiao Guanyu arrived with his back foot, "I said Yuezhi, how about I be a matchmaker?" As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Xiao Guanyu shouted loudly.

"Hey, what's going on today? Didn't you hear the magpie call? How do matchmakers come in strings? Lao Xiao, who are you talking to? You Shi was happy and hurriedly welcomed out of the house.

"Who else? For my eldest niece. I'll be your matchmaker, go and talk to Shen Wuxi, that old thing, about the conditions__" Xiao Guanyu didn't know that Shen Wuzhi was in the house, and when he saw Lao Shen sitting in the guest seat of the Eight Immortals Table, he was stunned, and pointed at Shen Wuxian Ha Lu Ha Da Lu and laughed.

The news was immediately passed on to Chen Shu by Chen Xian, and Chen Shu, who was thinking about the pocket watch that Jiang Yun brought back in her hand, was stunned for a moment, and two lines of hot tears suddenly flowed down, and she threw away the pocket watch and lay on the kang and cried.

Chen Zhi, who had just come in, was a little panicked, he had never seen his eldest sister crying so sadly, he looked at Chen Xian suspiciously, Chen Xian slapped his younger brother's head, "Fool! Eldest sister, this is happy. Let's go. He dragged his brother out of the house.

When the family matter was confirmed, Chen Chao immediately showed a kind of generosity, "Long Qian has a lot of things to do, and I know how to do it." How to do family affairs and when to do it are all up to the man. What kind of dowry and bride price, I won't mention it! Just one, Lao Shen, you go back and make it clear to Long Qian, no matter where he Long Qian goes, Shu'er is also his wife! If you don't agree to this, you will complain to Shu'er for the rest of your life, and he won't want to take Shu'er out of this door! ”

"That's, that's." Shen Wuxian smiled and said, "We all know Commander Long's personality. How can you do that kind of thing? The chief of staff said that the marriage should satisfy you and Miss Shu'er! The chief of staff meant that the troops would soon be marched to Yizhou City, and Commander Long would definitely lead the team away, first settle the family affairs, and then go there to buy a house and marry a lady Shu'er. Also, he is still living in the Zheng family, so he can't marry Shu'er to the Zheng family's mansion, which is not a word. ”

"That's fine." Chen Chao nodded, "Then, let's get engaged first." I have to ask the two of you for this matter. ”

"This is natural. This is not only a happy event for your brother, but also the biggest happy event in our base. Xiao Guanyu smiled and said, "There is another happy event." Section Chief Song told me that Chen Jiaya was injured because of holding the calf, which was equivalent to blocking the disaster for the surrounding villages, and the team was unwilling to go, and was willing to pay for the repair of the walled gate. Section Chief Song also said that the hardships of the villagers in the base area have been hard in the past two years, and the support team has made great efforts, and even if the team leaves, the base area will always be the base area. The team is willing to contribute money and efforts to set up a brick and tile factory, so that we can find a place and find craftsmen to start construction as soon as possible. All the expenses should be paid by the team. In this matter, you still have to take the general account, and you also need the autonomous committee to come forward. ”

"Okay, that's a good thing." Chen Chao was in a good mood.

"We feel that the more you are afraid that you are going to follow the team to Yizhou City, Commander Long now has a big business. You are also a person with a meritorious reputation, and it is not easy to do an errand in the Yizhou Yamen? Xiao Guanyu said with a smile, "Now that you have a relationship with Commander Long, you can't forget our old friends." ”

"What's that? Of course Shu'er wants to go with her, and I won't go anywhere. (To be continued......)
