Chapter 62 Reception of Refugees

Wang Bo has always been very willing to train the army.

The money and wealth under his hands are rival to the country, and he does not care about the people's livelihood like the Manchu Dynasty, reducing military spending, only desperately competing for various interests for himself, and enjoying comfort in his drunken dreams.

Instead, we should use our money to vigorously develop the economy, improve the people's livelihood, create all kinds of light and heavy industries, and put people first, so as to build a good living environment for the broad masses of the people.

In the armed forces, we will increase the remuneration of all officers and men, pay them in a down-to-earth manner, put an end to all behaviors of drinking soldiers' blood and eating empty quotas, and provide sufficient logistical support for the army, navy, and all scientific research teams.

While the old lady Cixi was building all kinds of gardens to enjoy, Wang Bo and his wife and children lived in a two-story building covering an area of about 200 square meters, except for a meadow in front of the small building.

When the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty enjoyed shark fin bird's nest, singing and dancing, Wang Bo and his wife and children ate some common meals, and most of them were in the barracks with all the officers and soldiers to eat standard military food, and also trained with the special forces he founded.

The areas under his administration are getting richer and richer, the people's living standards are getting better and better, and the army is getting stronger and stronger. His officers and soldiers had been tested with his ability perception skills, and all of them were united in their support for their sole commander.

Of course, there are also people who have a high status and breed other thoughts that they shouldn't have. As soon as these people were discovered, they were immediately released by Wang Bo into the military academy for re-education, and all kinds of brainwashing were not released until he was satisfied.

The Manchu Dynasty still looks luxurious and decent, but in fact, it is gold and jade.

The number of poor people is increasing day by day, and some people are not even able to drink porridge and water. Due to the massive reduction in military spending, the army and navy are almost completely formed, have empty shelves, have no strength, and collapse with a slight push.

There were many factions in the court, partisanship was non-stop, and people's hearts were torn apart.

There is also the Huai Army, which has rested its combat effectiveness, because of the lack of military spending for many years, the training is getting less and less, and the weapons and warships have not been updated and replenished in a timely manner, and many of them have fallen behind, and now they are all relying on Li Hongzhang's old foundation to support them.

More and more refugees have heard about the beautiful life in southern Guangdong, and they have moved south with their families.

Li Ergou, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young child from a small mountain village in Henan, suffered from drought and flood in his hometown last year, followed by a snowstorm, and all kinds of natural and man-made disasters came, and all the relatives in the family died when they couldn't survive. He is young, and the small mountain village is too remote, so he can't earn anything to eat, and he lives hungry and hungry, and the whole person has become skin and bones.

A few days ago, I heard someone say that there is a place called Guangdong in the south that is extremely rich, and as long as you can endure hardships and work hard, you can have white rice to eat. He listened to the yearning, he was not afraid of hardship or dirty when he was a child, as long as he had a job to eat white rice, he was willing to do the hard and tiring work.

Later, some people said that they were going to leave their hometown and go to that place called Guangdong. He thought to himself, if he stayed here and had no work to do, nothing to eat, and he was dying left and right, it was better to go south with the group, not for anything else, just to have something to eat and be alive.

So, he followed the group, all the way south, crossed the lake and crossed the lake, begging along the way, but he couldn't get anything to eat, so he gnawed the bark of the tree in muddy water, and saw countless refugees on the way, all of whom went south to Guangdong.

After walking for more than a month, I finally came to Guangdong. From a distance, I saw a long line of people lined up in front of me, and when I asked, I knew what it was, and Wang Bo, the commander-in-chief of the revival army and political axe, sent people to give porridge to receive the people of all nationalities who came to Guangdong.

Li Ergou was excited, almost all the way he was drinking muddy water and gnawing on the bark, and now he finally has a stutter, this commander-in-chief is so good, and he also specially sent people to receive us little civilians, it is really the best lord in the world!

He wanted to rush forward to beg for porridge, but was stopped by a strangely dressed man, who had a legendary foreign gun in his hand, and his eyes were so poisonous that he couldn't help but panic when he saw it.

This should be the master of officers and soldiers!

He quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look again, turned around and ran to the back of the line, and lined up honestly.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Li Ergou's turn. Looking at the big pot of thick rice porridge on the table in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Suddenly, he found that there was shredded meat in the porridge, although it was small, but it was meat! That's meat! For many years, he has never touched meat, and he remembers that when his father and mother were still alive, there was no oil floating on the porridge and water cooked at home.

I didn't expect that now not only can you eat thick porridge that can be put up with chopsticks, but you can also eat meat, this place called Guangdong is really rich! That commander-in-chief, Wang Bo, is really the best and best person in the world!

After a while, a bowl of porridge was handed over. Li Ergou snatched it, no matter how hot it was, he drank it in one gulp. After drinking, he quickly said, "I still want it!" ”

But I heard a nice female voice sound: "No, I said that everyone has a bowl of porridge!" ”

Li Ergou subconsciously looked up, my obedient, is this a fairy descending to earth? This girl is so good-looking! He stared intently, forgetting for a moment that he was hungry and begged for meat porridge.

The fairy suddenly laughed and said, "What are you looking at! Get out of the way, there are still a lot of people waiting behind! ”

Li Ergou is even more wandering in the world, this fairy is already good-looking, this smile makes him feel as if the whole world is bright, and he feels that as long as he can see this fairy's smile every day, even if he dies, it is worth it!

He muttered, "You...... Are you the fairy who came down from heaven to rescue us? ”

The fairy was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Li Ergou said stupidly: "You are so good-looking!" I've never seen such a good-looking girl in the world, you must be a fairy, aren't you? ”

When the fairy heard this, she smiled and said, "Your mouth is so sweet! It's not like someone bullies me all the time! Okay, just rush to you, I'll give you one more spoonful of porridge, no more! The bad guy said it was for your good. You haven't eaten for too long, and if you eat too much at once, you will not only break your stomach, but you may also die! ”

Li Ergou heard the fairy say that there were bad people bullying her, and suddenly a wave of anger welled up in her heart, and she blurted out: "Who bullied you?" You tell me that even if I lose my life, I will help you vent your evil anger! ”

The fairy couldn't stop laughing, and it took a long time to stop, and said, "That bad guy is too powerful, you can't beat it...... Well, even if it's ten...... No, you can't beat him even with a hundred! Okay, you go quickly, for the sake of you being willing to help me get angry, I'll give you another spoonful of porridge!" Hee-hee...... Go, go! Wait for that bad guy to come and see it, I'm going to be scolded! ”

The people in the back were already waiting impatiently, so they pushed Li Ergou away and squeezed to the front.

Li Ergou stood aside with a bowl full of meat porridge, looking at the fairy in a daze for a long time and couldn't take his eyes off it. This fairy is so good-looking, and the clothes on her body look weird.

The round neck, revealing a beautiful neck as white as snow, two arms are also exposed, and the fingers are crystal slender, making him feel the urge to pounce and grab it in his hand and play with it. Wearing a white skirt underneath, the style is very strange, but it looks good.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this was a fairy coming down from the sky, and he really wanted to keep looking at it like this, but the soldier with very poisonous eyes and a foreign gun had already come over and asked him to leave quickly.

The word "please" suddenly shocked Li Ergou!

Is this still a soldier? Aren't all soldiers vicious? not only bullied them, the poor little people, but also blackmailed them in various ways, how could they say "please" so politely?

Li Ergou left the team stupidly, walked to the side, looked at the meat porridge in the bowl in his hand, and looked at the good-looking fairy, and suddenly he saw a white and pure young master walking next to the fairy, as if he had said something.

I saw that the fairy's beautiful and small mouth pursed out, as if she was a little angry.

Could it be that the young master is the bad guy who bullied her as the fairy said?

But that young master doesn't look like a bad person, does he?

Kind-faced, handsome and upright, no matter how you look at it, you don't think you're a bad person?

Anyway, the fairy gave him two bowls of porridge, and the old man in the family often said that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention that it was the grace of a porridge!

Li Ergou was about to rush over desperately, when suddenly he saw the young master bow his head and say a few words to the fairy, the fairy immediately smiled, turned around excitedly and hugged the young master, and leaned over to quickly kiss the young master on the face.

This picture almost made Li Ergou almost drop out of both eyes, this ...... It's shocking!

Isn't this fairy's bold and blatant behavior exactly what the old people in his hometown say are immoral and shameless?

Li Ergou instantly felt as if the world had collapsed, and at the same time, there was a sting in his heart, he didn't know why he felt like this, but it was pouring out so inexplicably, he couldn't control it!

That young master is Wang Bo, the commander of the three armies of the Revival Army and known as the King of Guangdong!

And that fairy is Li Jingjie! Although she is now the mother of one son and two daughters, her straightforward and lively personality is still the same as always.

And her cousin Li Jingxuan is also the mother of a son and a daughter, and now she is still pregnant in her belly, it has been more than nine months, she originally wanted to come out to do the charity activities that Wang Bo said, but she was strictly ordered by Wang Bo to stay at home, not allowed to go anywhere, and she was about to give birth to a child, if there was any accident, it would be too late to regret it.

Just now, Li Jingjie filled two more spoonfuls of porridge to a common person, and Wang Bo saw it from afar. He has strictly ordered that these people who have not eaten for a long time are not allowed to eat more, and they must take care of their bodies so that they can eat normally.

I didn't expect Li Jingjie to dare to violate!

Wang Bo is angry and helpless, he usually loves Li Jingxuan and Li Jingjie very much, as long as he does not violate the principles, he will try his best to meet the requirements of the second daughter. Li Jingxuan is okay, she has always been well-behaved and sensible, but Li Jingjie is not easy to serve.

In order to strictly enforce military discipline and treat everyone equally, he immediately walked over and reprimanded.

But as soon as he saw Li Jingjie pouting with a red little mouth, Wang Bo's heart shook several times inexplicably, this small mouth brought him too much unexpected stimulation, for the sake of "happiness" in the future, he couldn't help but make a promise of perfume jewelry, which made this eldest lady happy.
