After giving instructions to Mrs. Huang, Zhang Shaozong went out and went to the house next door to wake up his eldest brother, Yuanbao and Aying one after another, and told them about Ao Tianlong and Ningshuang. He mainly told his eldest brother and Aying that Yuanbao and Yuanbao were both here.
Already known.
After the three of them finished washing and took the three of them back to Zhulin Residence, Ao Tianlong had just finished practicing boxing and came out of the backyard.
"Uncle."
Zhang Shaozong first called out and then introduced the two parties to each other.
"Brother, Aying, these are the Uncle Tianlong and Junior Sister Ningshuang that I just told you about yesterday in Sanhe Town. Uncle Tianlong and Junior Sister Ningshuang will stay here for a while."
"Master uncle and junior sister, this is my eldest brother Zhang Jizong and my friend A Ying. You already know Yuan Bao."
"I asked why the magpies kept chirping early this morning. It turns out that my uncle and junior sister are here. They are really distinguished guests. It is the first time for our uncle and junior sister to come to our place. We must stay here for a while and let us enjoy ourselves.
Let me show you hospitality as a landlord."
Zhang Jizong immediately smiled enthusiastically and followed Zhang Shaozong in calling him uncle and junior sister. Aying, like Yuan Bao, called Taoist Tianlong and Miss Ningshuang. After all, the two brothers Zhang Shaozong had a relationship with Maoshan and could be considered disciples of Maoshan, but they were not.
"You're welcome."
When Ao Tianlong and Ningshuang father and daughter met Zhang Jizong, Aying and Aying treated them as enthusiastically as Zhang Shaozong did. They felt a little more comfortable and had a better impression of Zhang Jizong and Aying.
"By the way, uncle, today is market day here in Pingyang Town. Why don't we go for a walk on the street together after dinner."
"Going to the market." Ningshuang's eyes brightened when she heard this, and she immediately looked at Ao Tianlong: "What's up, dad, there's nothing to do here anyway, let's go and have a look later."
Ao Tianlong also nodded.
"good."
Half an hour later, it was almost time for dinner.
"Zongshuai, I have bought everything you ordered."
Zhang Jinzhong led a team of people carrying several large and small bags to the door. He looked at Zhang Shaozong and said respectfully, "Zong Shuai" is what Zhang Jinzhong and others now call Zhang Shaozong.
"come in."
Zhang Shaozong also nodded to the group, motioned to bring things in, and then looked at Ao Tianlong and Ningshuang.
"Uncle, you and your junior sister came to my place to meet you for the first time. My nephew didn't know what to give, so he prepared some small gifts. I hope my uncle and junior sister won't find it objectionable."
I took the things in and opened them. There were six sets of clothes in total, four pairs of shoes, a pocket watch, and a necklace.
"Uncle, this is a gift for you. This foreign watch is used to tell time. It's called a pocket watch. For the specific time, look at the hands on it... There are also these three sets of clothes, this one is a Chinese tunic suit, and these two
It’s a suit, which is also commonly known as a dress. Master, please try it on and see if it fits you. If it doesn’t fit, I’ll have someone change it for you.”
Zhang Shaozong took out the pocket watch and three sets of clothes and shoes prepared for Ao Tianlong and handed them to Ao Tianlong.
"Junior sister, this is yours. This crystal necklace will look great on you. These three sets of clothes are all the most popular styles of dresses nowadays. Take a look."
Ningshuang fell in love with the clothes and necklace the moment she saw them. After all, she is a young girl in her prime. Who doesn't love clothes and necklaces and beauty.
"Thank you, senior brother."
After thanking him, he happily went to the backyard with his clothes and necklace.
Ao Tianlong was a little embarrassed at first and wanted to be reserved, but seeing that his daughter had already taken it, he had no choice but to keep it polite.
"I'm determined."
In fact, he already liked it when he saw the pocket watch and clothes. This foreign watch dress is a symbol of status and popularity nowadays. A few people don't like it. Most of the so-called dislikes are just because they don't have money to buy it.
"Uncle, you are too polite. My nephew has nothing to do to honor you. It's just a small gift, as long as your uncle and younger sister like it."
When Ao Tianlong heard this, he nodded and said nothing more, but his heart fell in love with Zhang Shaozong, his nephew.
Not long after, Ningshuang changed her clothes and came out.
She was wearing a long white dress and a pair of white high-heeled sandals. Coupled with her outstanding figure and delicate and beautiful face, her long hair was straight and flowing. She suddenly looked slim and beautiful, and she immediately made people in the yard stand out.
Everyone except Zhang Shaozong was dumbfounded.
"Senior brother, how are you doing? Does it look good?"
Ningshuang liked it too and happily asked Zhang Shaozong.
"Good-looking, slim and beautiful."
Zhang Shaozong praised him truthfully. At this time, Ao Tianlong also changed his clothes and walked out. He was wearing a black tuxedo suit and a pair of black leather shoes. He suddenly looked heroic and full of dignity.
"Wow dad, you look so cool like this."
Ningshuang immediately praised.
"Uncle, I feel younger when I wear it like this."
Zhang Shaozong also followed suit.
"Ahem."
Ao Tianlong, who originally felt very good and energetic, coughed twice in embarrassment when he heard the two people's compliments, and pretended to be serious.
"This dress is really good."
"Uncle, it's fine as long as it fits you and you like it."
Zhang Shaozong said with a smile, and then waved to Zhang Jinzhong and his party.
"Okay, you guys go back to training. I'll check you out in the afternoon."
"yes."
Zhang Jinzhong led the people to stand at attention, saluted, and then quickly led them to leave.
"Senior brother, are these all your subordinates?"
Ningshuang couldn't help but asked curiously when she saw this. Ao Tianlong didn't say much, but he knew that the identity of his nephew was definitely not simple.
"Um."
Zhang Shaozong didn't hide anything and nodded. However, looking at Ningshuang's clothes, he began to think that the clothing styles of this era were still too monotonous. Even the dresses were the same. There were only a few styles in total, which were far inferior to those of later generations.
The fashions are diverse. After Wuling is completely captured, the garment factory must be completely enlarged and strengthened into a brand, and all the fashionable and diverse garments of future generations will be brought over. By then, his garment factory and brand will be the trend of the times.
"By the way, senior brother, I don't know how to wear the necklace you just gave me. Please help me get it."
"good."
Zhang Shaozong walked over and took the necklace and helped put it on.
Ningshuang lowered her head with a happy expression on her face.
An hour later, after breakfast, the market in Pingyang Town had opened, and it was the busiest time. Zhang Shaozong took Ao Tianlong, Ningshuang and his daughter onto the street again, while Zhang Jizong went to Zhang Jizong as usual.
The temporary training school in Jia Village supervises the training of the previously recruited subordinates, and Yuan Bao and A Ying go to the incense and candle shop to open a shop.
"Brother, the market here is so lively."
On the market street, Ningshuang watched the lively scene around her with curiosity and excitement.
"Of course it's lively. The market in Pingyang Town opens three times a month, on the 1st, 11th, and 21st. Every time it's time to go to the market, people from all over the country come here. It's also the busiest day in Pingyang Town.
."
Zhang Shaozong explained with a smile, and accompanied his father and daughter to stroll around the market, and then went to sit down at the best teahouse in the town until noon.
............
In the afternoon, there was a valley and flat land near Zhangjia Village more than ten miles away from Pingyang Town.
"stand at attention."
As Zhang Jinzhong shouted loudly, more than 2,700 people stood at attention and saluted at the same time. They looked respectfully at the approaching Zhang Shaozong and shouted in unison.
"I've met Zong Shuai!"
This place is currently the temporary training base for Zhang Shaozong's group of people. They practice running, standing at attention, counting, etc. here every day to train the team's discipline and uniformity. At the same time, each person practices guns with ten rounds of ammunition every day, which consumes 27,000 yuan a day.
Converting multiple bullets into money means that it costs more than 1,000 yuan per day, and almost 40,000 in a month, which is currently the largest consumption of training.
As for the issue of food and accommodation, there is currently no canteen or dormitory, so these people have to go to their homes every day to solve the problem. However, they will be given an extra three yuan for food every month, so these people have no complaints.
Zhang Shaozong plans to completely capture Wuling and build a military base to facilitate the training and management of his troops. If conditions permit, he even plans to build a military factory himself, otherwise it would not be a good thing to keep buying from others.
"Report to Commander Zong, 2769 people were trained to respond, and 2769 people actually arrived."
The current leader of the team training is Zhang Jinzhong, who was also promoted by Zhang Shaozong during this period, followed by Zhang Jiucheng and Zhang Shaowu. Among the three, Zhang Jinzhong is the most optimistic about Zhang Shaozong. He is well-educated and meticulous in his work. He is meticulous and calm. Zhang Shaozong is also
A fortune-telling was specially given to him. He is a rare general with good literary and military skills. Secondly, Zhang Jiucheng, although not as good as Zhang Jinzhong, is calm and calm, can do what he is told, and can be regarded as a good general. He will be used in the future.
Defending one side is not a problem.
The last one, Zhang Shaowu, although he is the youngest, does not seem to be too outstanding at the moment and may even be a bit impatient as a young man, but if he is well trained, he will definitely be a fierce general who is good at fighting and dares to fight hard in the future.
These three people are also the people Zhang Shaozong is currently optimistic about and plans to focus on training, and they are also people from his Zhangjia Village.
"Keep training. I've said everything you need to say, so I won't go into details. The only thing I can say is to tell you to sweat more when you train now and bleed less on the battlefield in the future."
"Since you are willing to follow me, Zhang Shaozong, then I, Zhang Shaozong, will never treat you badly, as long as you are willing to work hard and try your best."
"Everyone, please train well. The day when Wuling changes the sky is not far away."
"Yes, Commander Zong, don't worry, we will not disappoint Commander Zong!"
The crowd immediately became excited when they heard the sound, and suddenly understood the meaning of Zhang Shaozong's words.
"Are you ready to take action?"
After a while, on the way back to Pingyang Town, Zhang Jizong couldn't help but ask.
"It's coming soon, it won't take more than twenty days."
Zhang Shaozong looked towards the direction of Wuling City. He had already killed all the Marshal Sun in Wuling City. In twenty days at most, the death of Marshal Sun would come, and it would be time for him to replace him.
Zhang Shaozong also calculated for himself that if he took action now to capture Wuling, he would have a 70% chance of winning and a 30% chance of losing troops. In other words, if he took action now, he would have a 70% chance of defeating Sun Shangtian and capture Wuling, but
There is also a three-thirds risk of failure, and the loss of troops and generals is inevitable, but if he waits until Sun Shangtian's death disaster comes to take action, it will be easy for him to capture Wuling.
That's why Zhang Shaozong has been waiting, because he has calculated everything to death, and he will never lose this battle.
At this moment, Zhang Shaozong suddenly understood why Zhuge Liang was so powerful during the Three Kingdoms period. Because everything had been calculated by him, except for some sudden changes in heaven that he could not control, there was no way he could be defeated.
