Chapter 236: The Backwater Army Loses

The words of the quintessential master Zhao Chuanxin attracted the attention of the sister and brother.

Zhang Rong snatched the newspaper and took a look: the queen mother was angry and vomited blood twice afterwards, but fortunately the famous doctor's diagnosis and treatment condition improved. Because of Li Lianying's advanced age, her arm may be difficult to recover in this life......

"Good guy, you didn't kill Cixi and cripple the eunuch."

It is Zhang Rong who is often deflated, and it is rare for Zhao Chuanxin to have today, Zhang Rong teased.

Zhang Gui next to him was full of sadness.

In the original trajectory, she was also pulled onto the "thief ship" by Zhang Rong, and later she was more or less a progressive young man.

But at this moment, my heart is full of another kind of worry.

She secretly gave Zhang Rong a look.

Zhang Rong followed her into the back hall.

Zhang Gui asked: "Have you been involved in these things?" This has just come out, and if you are arrested again, our family will not be able to save you. Now Captain Zhao is also difficult to protect himself. ”

"Sister, you look up to your brother too much. Even if I have the heart to participate in this kind of thing, it is not within my ability. ”

"That's good, by the way, how did you get out? Did they agree to release them? ”

Zhang Rong shook his head: "Lao Zhao went to rob the prison." ”

Zhang Gui was shocked: "Prison robbery? ”

There have been too many major events that have happened recently, and a small character like Zhang Rong escaped from prison and wanted to be in the newspaper, but he couldn't be ranked at all.

"Heh, he went by himself. He reported his name, but the warden Wang Zhang didn't dare to move, so he asked him to take me away with a swagger. ”

“……”

According to historical records, the wicked people of ancient times could stop children from crying at night.

Unexpectedly, there is also Zhao Chuanxin so majestic today!

They were helpless, and Zhao Chuanxin just let people go obediently with just one sentence.

After Zhang Gui was surprised, he was still worried: "Then where should you go in the future?" After all, if you escape from prison, you will definitely not be able to stay at home, or find a relative to hide for a while? ”

"I have decided to go to Japan to study military affairs. After all, it is difficult to achieve great things, and you must learn from the enemies of ten thousand people. ”

His bold words and ambitions did not impress his sister at all.

Zhang Gui sighed: "It seems that I can't let you stop." ”

"Sister, this is a change that has not been seen in a thousand years, the times need us to throw our heads and spill blood, how can I retreat?"

After arguing for a long time, when they returned to the reception room, they found that Zhao Chuanxin had fallen crooked on the table and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Zhang Rong's heart was relieved, and his eyelids began to fight.

He said, "Sister, find a few people and carry him to his room to sleep." He was so tired that I hadn't closed my eyes for days. ”

That night, Zhang Gui prepared a table of meals.

Zhang Rong's brother, parents, and uncle also rushed back.

It's just that Zhao Chuanxin and Zhang Rong slept too deeply, and even if they went in, they didn't react, and their snoring was like thunder.

So, this table of dishes can only be eaten by my own family.

When Zhao Chuanxin woke up the next day, Zhang Gui put together a new table of dishes.

It's just that Zhang Rong's family has left.

After all, Zhang Rong came back from prison, and it is easy to attract attention with great fanfare.

After Zhao Chuanxin washed up, he stretched his waist and came to the dining room: "Uh...... Starved to death, is the meal ready? Did you kill cattle and slaughter sheep? ”

Zhang Gui greeted with a smile: "Chicken, duck, fish, meat, beef and sheep are not lacking, Captain Zhao, please take a seat." ”

Zhao Chuanxin didn't know what politeness was, so he sat down and copied the chopsticks and started drying.

Even the canned food that he had eaten for a long time was sick to his stomach.

Zhang Gui's eyes rolled: "I saw an article in the newspaper in Lugang Town on the news. My father said that those who hold salaries should not be frozen to death in the wind and snow! Captain Zhao is a hero, how can a hero have no money, so ......"

Zhang Gui opened a box on the ground.

It was full of silver.

After Zhao Chuanxin devoured it, he wiped his mouth: "Very good, your father is a talker." ”

The siblings were speechless.

Zhao Chuanxin thought of a lot of things.

The Zhang family had money, and later their money was raided by Boss Zhang. Zhang Gui is looking for people to fight lawsuits in the next era.

In the end, I came back a little, but it was also Nai Zhang's boss.

Boss Zhang accumulated original funds by exterminating bandits, killing the locks and fighting these potential enemies.

Don't look at Du Lizi's life now, in fact, in Zhao Chuanxin's view, whether it is the Zhang family or Du Lizi, they all stretch their necks under Boss Zhang's knife to beg for a living.

He thought for a moment and said, "You guys, if you want to thank me, you don't need these vain heads." Lugang Town is about to set up Lugang Town Bank, and when the time comes, you will deposit your money in Lugang Town Bank, and it is best to make some investments around Lugang Town, which is the best thank you to me. ”

"But." Zhang Gui was surprised: "Lugang Town treats Captain Zhao like that, Captain Zhao thinks about Lugang Town like this?" ”

"Ahem." Zhao Chuanxin remembered that now he had "broken" with Lugang Town, which could not be exposed outside. As we all know, Zhao is a broad-minded, open-minded person. How could I take this little thing to heart? The Buddha cut meat and fed the eagle, Zhao is sacrificing himself for others, can't he do better than the Buddha? ”

"......" Zhang Gui thought for a while and said, "This is also a good thing, so I agreed for my father." ”

If only in terms of safety, Lugang Town is the most disabling place outside the entire Guanwai, and there is at least no trouble at all when investing in business there. Although, the geographical location of Lugang Town is not good.

As for saving money, the cunning rabbit three holes, of course, can't put eggs in one basket.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Chuanxin patted his ass and got up: "Okay, what do you plan to do in the future, it has nothing to do with me." I'll go first. ”

As he spoke, he lifted his leg and left.

Zhang Rong hurriedly said, "Lao Zhao, are you leaving?" Too much of a hurry, right? ”

"Hehe, I've been staying in your house for a long time, I'm afraid your Lafayette is coming to raid the house."

Zhang Rong blushed and argued with a thick neck: "What our Lafayette, don't talk nonsense." ”

But Zhao Chuanxin had already come to the courtyard, put the saddle on, untied the reins and waved his hand: "Go back, go to the old department on the island, Zhao wants 100,000 flags to kill devils!" ”

He got on the horse heroically, sandwiched his legs between the horse's belly, and kicked and trampled away in the eyes of the Zhang family sisters and brothers.

Only the thick and rough singing voice was left:

Arise, hungry and cold slaves.

Arise, all the people who are suffering.

The blood is already boiling, and there is a struggle for the truth.

The old world, play a falling flower. Slaves get up, get up......

Zhang Rong's enthusiasm was on his head, and his hair stood on end.

Zhang Gui was dumbfounded, only to feel that his hairs stood up.

Even if they are landlords, even if they also represent Z.

Even the porter, after hearing this, couldn't wait to get up and plow ten acres of land!

Zhang Rong ran two steps quickly and yelled at the burly back of Zhao Chuanxin: "Old Zhao, I knew that you were a fellow practitioner!" ”

……

Old barren ridge, red sun fork.

The rotation of the insurance team, led by Goryeo, is advancing in the direction of Majima.

Li Zhitao and Blowing Water are impressively in the horse team.

Compared with the taciturn, Goryeo who lives like a monk has few desires. Li Zhitao prefers Zhang Daquan.

However, in order to avoid forming gangs, the insurance team often disrupts the team.

Anyway, the plate is small, and it is a boutique route, and I don't worry about losing the tacit understanding and chaos.

When you are on Hong Kong Island, you usually solve the problem with your fists and kicks.

After coming to Lugang Town to train for a while, Li Zhitao and Blowing Water Ju have barely kept up with the rhythm of the insurance team.

But now that he is facing a rain of bullets on the front line, Li Zhitao is still worried.

He couldn't help but beat his horse forward and caught up with Goryeo: "Company commander, I heard that the backwater army let a group of bandits defeat it, is it true?" ”

Gao Li nodded, his face unwavering, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him: "There is such a thing." ”

"Our insurance team should be more powerful than the backwater army, right?"

These words made Gao Li silent for a moment, and said simply: "There is no comparison." ”

"Forehead ......"

A new member like Li Zhitao, who has just entered the training of the insurance team, exhausts all his strength just by keeping up with the rhythm of training every day, but in fact, he can't feel any gap, and he has no energy to compare.

Seeing that although Gao Li's tone was indifferent, that arrogance was inadvertently revealed.

Li Zhitao is actually a little disappreciative in his heart.

It's all people, why is the gap so big?

He said: "Company commander, since the battle of the backwater army is not good, why don't we insurance team help?" ”

"In order not to let the Qing court target us. We just let everyone take turns to practice and not participate for the time being. ”

Originally, they were going to participate, but because Zhao Chuanxin made a fuss in the Beijing-Tianjin area, Liu Guigui and Li Guangzong decided to keep their heads in obscurity and not show their heads first.

Seeing a relieved look on Li Zhitao's face, Gao Li's words changed: "We don't participate, you two, but we have to be incorporated into the backwater army and participate in the actual battle." ”

Li Zhitao was stunned: "Why? ”

Damn, fight on Hong Kong Island, at least as long as you don't die, you won't die.

On the battlefield, who the cares if you live or die?

"You have been training for 10,000 years, and if you don't fight, you are still a waste. The insurance team is strong, that is because it started from the end of the micro and fought step by step to today. Combat effectiveness is built up with flesh and blood. ”

As he spoke, a tall horse and a black and white dog galloped forward, followed by several crows in the sky.

Horses stop, dogs brake, crows fall trees.

The dog was naturally dry rice, and dry rice ran to Goryeo's side, first whining and barking.

Then, it barked twice.

A whining call means that there is someone in front of you.

If you scream, it means that you are an enemy.

If you call twice, it means that you are a friend.

Blowing water horse followed, and whispered to Li Zhitao: "Zhao Sheng's dog has become a sperm, and he took the initiative to ask to follow when he came." And the horse, the dog that can drive the horse. ”

Li Zhitao looked up at the treetops on the side of the road: "What is a horse, it can still command crows." Zhao Sheng knows spells, and it is not surprising that the animals in his house are spiritual. ”

"It's not as simple as being spiritual, I think it's smarter than I ......."

"That's normal, you don't have a brain at all except blowing water."

"Big brother, if you say that about me, then I don't like to hear it. I blow the water foal and ......"

"If you don't like it, don't listen to it. I just asked, the two of us are going to fight people. ”

"What ......"

Blowing water is like falling into an ice cave.

In front, suddenly smoke and dust billowed out, and more than 30 riders came head-on.

Led by Liu Yonghe, the leader of the backwater army.

The two sides approached, and Liu Yonghe grabbed the reins.

His face was covered with exhaustion, and his arm was bandaged, apparently wounded.

Gao Li stepped forward: "Hung the lottery?" ”

Liu Yonghe smiled bitterly: "Damn, I don't know what's wrong with those sticks, they used to be dogs in the past, but they just coped with things." In the past two days, I suddenly started to sell my life. Yesterday, we had a confrontation with them, and suddenly another group of people rushed to kill us, led by a dervish, and killed us by surprise. They were almost wiped out. ”

South Korea used to be called North Korea, because of the short years of the name change, the people outside the border either called them North Koreans, or, like later generations, affectionately called them sticks.

It is said that the word stick began with Qianlong. Qianlong ridiculed the Joseon king, saying that he was a mallet.

When it develops to the people, it becomes a stick when it comes and goes.

Goryeo was silent.

Ban Yu said, "Have you found out what's going on?" ”

"Nope. But faintly hear those sticks say, 'We slaughter their people?' But we didn't do anything. Liu Yonghe said with a wry smile. Can you help us play this rotation? This has just been formed, and it has been defeated and lost, and the army's morale is unstable. ”

Gao Li immediately shook his head: "You can't help, you can solve it yourself." There is no shortage of food, weapons, and military salaries, and you can't always have a point in mind. ”

Liu Yonghe glanced down at the dry rice, gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "That's okay, the dry rice of Captain Zhao's family, it's okay to borrow it from me, right?" ”

Just now he saw how powerful this dog is, this guy occupies all the sea, land and air, flying in the sky, running on the ground, this dog can still go into the water to play and float on the water......

Gao Li finally smiled: "If it can help you, you have to ask it." It came here on its own initiative. ”

"Grass!"

Liu Yonghe couldn't pull his face a little, and opened his mouth to beg for a dog.

"Let's go first, we'll talk about it later. You're tired too, so go back with me to rest and rest. ”

"This is the average level of training on weekdays. You don't have to rest, you just warm up, you get the training ground ready, and we'll start training right away. ”

“……”

Liu Yonghe complained frantically in his heart: The people in Lugang Town are all pretending to be criminals.

The tangible pretending represents Zhao Chuanxin, and the invisible represents Zhang Daquan and Gao Li.

If you don't open your mouth, your mouth will be fatal.

Li Zhitao and Blowing Water Horse also joined the artillery training queue together.

In the evening, the two were physically and mentally exhausted and came to the makeshift camp to rest.

After a day of trekking and half a day of training, the two saw the pillow image and saw their relatives, and as soon as they fell into bed, they fell into their sleep.

Life is so fulfilling.

The next morning, the familiar wake-up call dragged them out of the darkness of sleep into the light of reality.

Li Zhitao shook his head, this kind of work and rest intensity, as if he had returned to the time when he first went to Lugang Town.

It's too late to regret, too late to fear, and certainly no hope at all.

On his neck, he went to eat with his head that was so sleepy that he was in the mud, and he devoured it like a starving ghost.

It's all instinct, an instinct formed by long-term training.

After eating, an insurance team member came over and told him: "You and Blowing Water Ju will go to Liu Yonghe in a while, and he will break you up into the backwater army." Oh, brother, ask for more blessings. ”

The blowing water horse next to him seemed to be a little sober, and asked anxiously with a big tongue: "Brother, then if we die in battle, will we have the same pension as you?" ”

"Yes, didn't you fill in the beneficiary family before? If you die, the money will be sent to your family according to the address. ”

"Ah, I'm filling in my uncle. I'm going to give him the money when I die? Oh, I don't know, you can't give him the money, and he hasn't raised me. ”

The blowing water horse regretted slapping the thigh.

The member of the insurance team shook his head: "I can't change it now, I need to go to the security station." So, try to come back alive. ”

These words made the two of them feel furious.

After eating, the two went to find Liu Yonghe.

Although Liu Yonghe had some experience in leading troops to fight, most of them were guerrilla fighters, and he was somewhat watery.

His style was a bit reckless, and when he heard that the two were friends of life and death, he organized them into a unified combat group.

Liu Yonghe knew that these two people had come back with Zhao Chuanxin, so he kindly pointed out two sentences: "You don't have to be sad, the main task today is to investigate the group of dervishes." I have received credible information that the reason why the sticks hate us is because the Japanese have fabricated a newspaper that falsely claimed that we had slaughtered the peasants of the sticks. But in reality, we don't do that at all. Therefore, we first found the dreadlocks and solved this worry first. ”

Blowing water horse sighed: "Little Japan, it's really despicable!" Even newspapers dare to fake. ”

The dreadlocks led by dervishes have been entrenched in the country for a long time, which is like a thorn in the flesh for the backwater army, and it is unpleasant to pull it out.

Although the means of leading the troops are a bit watery, Liu Yonghe has trained with the Lugang Town Insurance Team after all, and he is resolute in his work.

While the morning sun has just risen, people's spiritual heads, which have not yet been strained and lazy by the heating sun, are about to set off immediately.

Li Zhitao and Fumizuko's equipment is different from these people.

The backwater uniform is a long army green coat with rough fabric, but the warmth is acceptable.

The backwater army only has a rifle + bayonet, some ammunition, and the necessary military rations, and that's all there is to it.

Blowing water horse said to Li Zhitao: "Big brother, you see, their equipment is so simple, and those rifles are badly worn, I think many of them are made in Hanyang." ”

Li Zhitao nodded: "The physical fitness of the soldiers is not good. Each of us had a pistol, a rifle, a bayonet, a shotgun, and an axe, and we didn't feel tired. Look at them, they want to hang their rifles on their horses. If you are attacked by the enemy, you probably won't be able to react. ”

"Also, big brother, look at the service in front of you, giggling like an outing. When we train, the scouts will be whipped if they dare to delay. ”

Li Zhitao also found out about this, and said worriedly: "Don't have an accident!" ”

The two muttered quietly, secretly comparing the gap with the backwater army.

It's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening.

They train mechanically every day, and their brains are numb from training.

I usually compare myself with the people in the insurance team of Lugang Town, and I always feel that I am at the bottom.

But now that I look at the backwater army, the two of them are the absolute elite of the backwater army......

Li Zhitao, nicknamed the big vat peach, used to be very proud.

But since I met Zhao Chuanxin, I don't know if I have been called "Taotao" for a long time, or I have been given training uniforms by the Lugang Town Insurance Team, and now I am no longer arrogant, and I am very cautious in my actions and words.

After thinking about it, he said to the blowing foal, "Let's not get complacent too soon, maybe this is just a sign that they are confusing the enemy." After all, that Liu Yong was also outstanding when he trained with him. Yes, thinking about it like this, it was really to paralyze the enemy. ”

Because when he saw Liu Yonghe training marksmanship that day, it was almost the same if he didn't say that he had 100 shots and 100 hits.

Blowing Shuiju also nodded cautiously: "Yes, that Liu Danzi is really powerful, it is impossible to lead the troops so badly." We can't embarrass the insurance team, just behave well and go back and get a bonus. ”

The two muttered quietly along the way.

I feel that this kind of marching speed is much more comfortable than the Lugang Town Insurance Team's rush and slower as if its hind feet were being burned by fire.
