"After all, I still envy our general," said one of them, enviously, "he is in Changsha, and he is closer to Vietnam." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Speaking of this, everyone was depressed again, and a few people sat down slightly, then took their hats and put them on, and went out to other places.
"Hey, I said that the spirit of this big-headed soldier looks really good now," an old man nodded, and said happily, a few people came out of the teahouse, and the atmosphere in the teahouse was lively again, the old man obviously saw those bastard soldiers many years ago, "It's stronger than the useless thing before, just look at it!" ”
"That is, whoever he is in the new army has to be trained, you don't know it, right?"
"Hey, I don't know, you told me?"
"Anyone who joins the new army, no matter what level or what kind of top, must be trained in military affairs, which is just that, but they still have to study and study, which is different from the past."
"It's good to read, this is both civil and military!" The old man said, "No wonder it's better than before!" ”
"Now it's a popular thing to send the naughty children at home to the New Army, those who can't read, and make trouble at home all day long, have joined the New Army, and after a few years of training, good guys, they are all good guys when they come out, they know how to be polite, and they have learned things, and they are not naughty before, which is not bad."
"This is good, but I am afraid that if there is a war in the future, it will inevitably be killed and injured in the new army."
"Who's to say it isn't? Let the group exercises go, the court is reluctant to let these baby bumps and the French go right, and now it is not to the point of war. ”
"These Vietnamese are really nothing," the old man pinched his beard and shook his head, "we helped them, and sent Liu Dashuai over to fight the French, they are good, they have softened their bones first." It's really mud that can't hold up the wall. ”
"Who's to say it isn't?"
The current situation in Hue City is a little more stable, and it is ironic to say that this stable situation is obtained, but it is by no means relying on the benevolence of the French after the signing of the treaty, and not because of the Hue garrison, after the signing of the "Hue Treaty", according to the idea of the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, the Vietnamese king and ministers are so capricious, it is better to pull them all on the ship and send them to Saigon to take care of them, so that they are not afraid of any more moths to be born.
However, this came out of the five provinces to train south into Vietnam, and the original matter of being captured was forced to be suspended, and the new successor of the Vietnamese king cried and cried and prepared to pack his clothes, but unexpectedly, a few days later, a thousand French soldiers stationed in Hue City left on a military ship, but saved the king of Yue again.
So some people have questions, is there any effect in negotiating peace with the French? In the end, the French will look at China's actions to revise their attitude towards Vietnam.
But now the pro-French faction is in power, which is also helpless, the legal person has come, can no longer conflict with the French, although the French army is gone, but there is a consul in Hue City, vaguely the emperor of Vietnam, the French businessmen are even more arrogant, many people dare to be angry and dare not speak, but the potential undercurrent has been turbulent and difficult to suppress.
Vietnamese women's clothes are called Ao Dai, similar to the tight-fitting cheongsam of later generations, but a pair of trousers are added inside, on this day, Hue City is still raining, but the rain is smaller, dripping, Hue City is the Nguyen Dynasty spent a lot of effort to build a declaration of national strength, but the tropics are hot and humid, civil engineering buildings are difficult to survive, now it is only more than a hundred years, Hue City has been eroded by wind and rain and some dilapidated, in the alley, Wan Ting walked over three women wearing black Ao Dai, and the woman who was surrounded by two maids in the middle wore a hat, I can't see my face, but the exposed chin is delicate and white and smooth like jade, and it is by no means like the appearance of the Vietnamese natives who are black and autumn, so it can be seen that she is a beauty.
The light rain fell on her shoulders and body, and the black silk cloth Ao Dai revealed deep and shallow water stains, she didn't pay attention to it, raised it to reveal a pair of autumn eyes, looked at the signboard with the four big characters of "Wuyun Commercial Bank", and then looked left and right, and motioned for the maid to come forward and knock on the door.
An indifferent man opened a crack and looked at the three women outside, "It's not open today, please go buy something elsewhere." I'm sorry. ”
The woman in the middle took a black wooden sign and shook it, the man's face changed slightly, and he opened the door to a space for only one person to enter and exit, "Since there is this sign, please come in." ”
When the three women entered the trading house, she didn't take off her hat, but asked in a low voice, "Who is in charge here?" Some people say that this brand can come to the firm to change a promise. ”
"Yes," Li Yansheng walked out and looked at the woman, "Dare to ask who the honorable driver is?" I don't seem to have remembered to give this wooden card to the honor. ”
The woman who came unbuttoned her hat and showed a beautiful face, Li Yansheng saw this woman, and hurriedly handed it over, "I've seen the school concubine." ”
"Do you recognize me?" The concubine said in surprise.
"I've seen it once, but I don't know what the concubine is," Li Yansheng didn't think the concubine was so noble, and beckoned the concubine to sit down, "Then this wooden card must have been given to you by Lord Shoufu, there is no problem, what do you want to do, you will never disobey it." ”
"Very well, after all, it is a righteous man," the senior concubine praised, "I have only one thing to ask for your help, to rescue Lord Shoufu from Saigon and let him return to Hue City." ”
Li Yansheng didn't hesitate, and agreed, "This was originally a difficult matter, but recently there was news from Saigon, the governor of Saigon was afraid of detaining Lord Nguyen for a long time, and the people of Beiqi were dissatisfied, and they were ready to send Lord Nguyen back to Hue City to let him preside over the overall situation, originally if the concubine Niangniang proposed this matter, I also needed to arrange the brothers who dared to die to rescue Lord Ruan, since there is such news, I will send someone to spend a lot of money to bribe the competent person before the governor of Saigon, Lord Nguyen is not stupid, as long as he promises to the French, he will never be embarrassed by the legal person, The governor of Saigon will let him come back, please rest assured. ”
The concubine's delicate face showed a relieved but somewhat disappointed expression, Li Yansheng understood the meaning of her expression, and it was inevitable that she had wasted such a good opportunity to open her mouth with a knife, "Since it's just spending money, it's not a difficult thing to do, if the concubine has any other requirements, you can put it forward together," the concubine was overjoyed and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Yansheng, "It's just business, I am a businessman, and everything has to talk about benefits, if the concubine wants to do something, correspondingly, Isn't it okay to give a little interest too? ”
The senior concubine nodded, "This is natural, you should be very clear about my request, that is, to make my adopted son the emperor of Vietnam!" (To be continued.) )
