Hou Sui waited for a long time, and finally waited for the good news that Wuchang had changed hands, he quickly changed into official clothes, stepped on official boots, and entered Wuchang City under the escort of the cavalry sent by He Renlong.

He Tengjiao was very busy, Wuchang City was messed up by the battle in the morning, more than ten places were on fire, and the young people also took the opportunity to come out to make trouble, he had no soldiers under him, and he could only organize the servants to put out the fire and take the thieves everywhere in official uniforms, and finally calmed down, and heard that Qin sent into the city, and hurriedly went to greet him.

The ceremony was held in the front yard of the governor's yamen, looking at He Tengjiao, who was covered in muddy water, He Renlong, who was wrapped in bandages, and Liu Ziguang, who was covered in blood and gunsmoke, Hou Sui couldn't help but sigh secretly, such a ceremony to welcome Qincha was a rare one in this dynasty, he took out the holy decree and read it out to everyone, the righteousness was his own order, local officials, and military horses must cooperate with Yunyun, and then Liu Ziguang also took out a holy decree and began to read out his will, the content of which was that Zuo Liangyu split the country, and his crime should be punished, and he was officially dismissed, and all the titles of Ping, thief, general and prince, Shaobao, etc., were handed over to He Tengjiao to deal with。

He Tengjiao immediately shouted long live, thanks to the order, after many years, he finally became a real governor, naturally overjoyed, extremely grateful to these two lords, busy in the morning, it is time to eat, He Tengjiao said: "I'm not afraid of adults laughing at me, there is not even a serious cook in the governor's mansion, let's charter a restaurant to use a little." Hou Sui was dissatisfied in his heart, this Wuchang City is not as empty as the bustling Nanjing streets, the buildings are also very low, there are not a few high-grade restaurants and shops, is it the famous Yangtze River middle reaches of the big port is this virtue?

In fact, Hou Sui misunderstood: Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang have their own characteristics, Wuchang is dominated by garrisons and government offices, Hanyang has iron factories, arsenals, and Hankou is a prosperous commercial area.

Although he was displeased, Hou Sui did not show his unhappiness on his face, but said with a pleasant face: "If you are in a hurry, you don't need to be polite if you get some wine and rice." But Liu Ziguang said more simply than him: "What kind of restaurant are you going to, the brothers haven't eaten all morning, and those hungry people outside the city haven't eaten for a few days, I think let's just find something to fill our stomachs." I remember that having a noodle shop in front of the door would have been a good fit. Liu Ziguang said that it was Cai Linji's noodle shop at the door of the governor's office, because of the war in the morning, the boss was so frightened that he closed the door and closed the door, and it had not yet opened, since Liu Qincha said so, He Tengjiao and He Renlong didn't dare to say anything, and the group walked towards the noodle shop at the door, Hou Sui hatefully followed behind, and said in his heart that this errand and Liu Ziguang went out together, and it was really eight lifetimes of mold.

Another person who felt unlucky was Cai Lin, the small owner of the noodle shop, and it stands to reason that it was a great honor for so many adults to eat in his shop, but he couldn't be happy, because he had no noodles to sell, and this morning he was so frightened that he hid under the bed and didn't dare to come out, how could he have time and noodles, there were only a few handfuls of noodles left from yesterday at home, because the weather was hot yesterday, there were a lot of noodles left that were not sold, he was afraid that the noodles would spoil, so he cooked and drained the leftover noodles and dried them on the board.

I accidentally knocked over the oil pot on the table and spilled sesame oil on the noodles. He had no choice but to mix the noodles with oil and let them dry again.

Whether this kind of noodles can be eaten or not, Cai Lin has no idea in his heart. But the old men are all here, pushing outside, isn't that self-defeating, Cai Lin was heartbroken, and simply put these cooked noodles mixed with oil in boiling water, slightly scalded, scooped up, drained into a bowl, and then added seasonings for selling cold powder, such as sesame paste, green onions, ginger, garlic, chili noodles, vinegar, soy sauce, etc.

After it was served, everyone couldn't help but move their index fingers when they saw the steaming and fragrant noodles, and it was no wonder that everyone was busy all morning without eating, and now everything they eat is fragrant.

There is no soup for the noodles, but the messy seasonings are very delicious when mixed together, Liu Ziguang picked up three bowls in a row before asking: "I haven't eaten this noodle in the store before, what is it called?" Cai Lin was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak loudly when he saw that he was covered in blood, and replied in a low voice: "Fake name." (Wuhan dialect) Liu Ziguang knocked on the table with chopsticks and said: "It's hot and dry, I think it's good to call it hot dry noodles." Give me another bowl of hot dry noodles. Cai Lin said: "The military master has noodles, or you can come to a bowl of cold noodles to sprinkle." Liu Ziguang said with a smile: "Liangfen is something that women and children eat." Seeing that everyone else had eaten, he asked his soldiers to stay and settle the bill, and then went back to the yaya with a few adults.

"The name Hot Dry Noodles is easy to sprinkle, loud and easy to remember." Cai Lin was still pondering the new name that Liu Ziguang gave him for his innovation, and his own soldiers discharged a tael of silver and said, "This is the Hou Ye's reward for you." ”

"I can't afford that much money... What did you just say? Hou Ye? That person was Hou Ye just now? Cai Lin's eyes widened in surprise and asked.

"It's our town, Marquis Wu, who likes to tip you more when he pays the bill, so why don't you take the fee so much?" The soldiers left the silver and left, leaving Cai Lin there stupidly: "It was the Marquis of Zhenwu who came to me to eat noodles and helped me name my noodles hahahaha, I arrived." "******************************************************************** Liu Ziguang, they are now facing two big problems, one is that the victims outside the city may riot at any time, and the other is that the remnants of the left army on the other side of the river may counterattack at any time. The record of Ping Taiwan is well known, and now the remnants of Zuo Liangyu's strength are still commanding, and the task of exterminating the thieves naturally falls on his shoulders, and as for the task of disaster relief, He Tengjiao and Hou Sui will complete it.

There are more than 3,000 cavalry in the city, plus Liu Ziguang's 300 effective death camp, although the quantity is not superior, but the quality is far higher than the remnants of the left army, He Renlong was a court general on an equal footing with Zuo Liangyu, and later because of the defeat to Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, whether it is qualifications and strength is not much worse than Zuo, he brazenly raised troops to create Zuo Liangyu, not only because of a moment of anger, but also because of the long-term suppression, He Renlong is not a good person who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and he Tengjiao mutiny, just to obtain a better position, he envisioned Huguang is a semi-independent kingdom, He Tengjiao is still a puppet, the most in charge of civil affairs, water conservancy, justice, the army and taxes are still in charge of himself, and compared with Zuo Liangyu, he is only a few steps closer to the imperial court.

But things are not as smooth as imagined, although Zuo Liangyu is dead, but Liu Ziguang is here, this killing god is too powerful, his subordinates are also very strong, weapons, and even more murderous and invisible, thinking of this, He Renlong is a little worried about his status, if the court settles accounts afterwards, what if he follows Zuo Liangyu for many years.

"General He, the position of General Wuchang, I think it belongs to you. Ben Hou will give you an excerpt to ask for a seal, if there is no resolute uprising of the general, the left thief will not be defeated so quickly. Liu Ziguang can naturally understand He Renlong's thoughts, and making a wish is his forte, and now that his brigade has not arrived, of course he has to coax He Renlong.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for bringing the people, the dragon body is in Cao Ying, and the heart is in Han, and I have long wanted to kill the left thief to serve the court." He Renlong listened to Liu Ziguang's words, and his heart was a little more stable.

There are not many shops in Wuchang City, and the grain storage is very limited, only a few hundred bags of rice found in the barracks of the Chuangzi Battalion, He Tengjiao suggested that all of them be boiled for disaster relief, and everyone naturally agreed with Liu Ziguang, they brought 500,000 taels of silver, and after Hankou was captured, they could go there to buy rice, and then support it for a while, and the grain team of the imperial court should arrive.

While they were discussing, a soldier suddenly came to report that a warship appeared on the river, waving the banner of the left army, and marching in the direction of the shipyard.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Mengeng solved those uncles and uncles so quickly, and took the military power in their hands, Liu Ziguang and He Renlong immediately got up and prepared to go into battle to resist the enemy, Liu Ziguang thought about it and said: "Over there in the shipyard, I will go to General He, or defend the city, in case the left army is attacking the west." He Renlong couldn't help but save his troops, so he agreed.

Liu Ziguang went straight to the shipyard out of the yamen, and at this time, Zhong Shouyong and Da Wenxi, who had infiltrated Wuchang in advance, came to report to him, and Liu Ziguang asked why they lost contact as he walked?

Zhong Shouyong said that the radio receiver was out of order, so they couldn't receive orders, but fortunately, they did not fail in their mission, contacted He Tengjiao, and cooperated with He Renlong to successfully carry out the mutiny.

At this juncture, Liu Ziguang would not pursue these details, he asked directly: "You still have a lot of explosives left, so take them all to the shipyard." "Although the death camp is powerful, there is a dead hole, that is, they are limited by ammunition, they are thousands of miles away from the capital, every gunpowder and every shell is hard to transport, one less one, especially the relatively complex process of burning and destroying shells and shotguns, there is no way to replenish them, and when their ammunition is exhausted, the disparity in combat effectiveness will drop a lot, the original three hundred people can deal with 10,000 people, now they can only deal with three thousand people.

Therefore, Liu Ziguang also did everything possible to collect weapons and ammunition, the shipyard also has some equipment that can be used, Wuchang Station still has a lot of pig iron, pig iron is hard, wear-resistant, good castability, can not be forged, can be dissolved, poured into the mold to cast solid shells, such a simple process, the shipyard's equipment and workers can be easily completed, those workers because of Liu Ziguang's words and can survive, naturally willing to serve, as for the gunpowder can only be saved, the explosives brought by Zhong Shouyong and them are also used, and they can hold on for a while.
