Dai Wenpei was a forthright son and daughter from the land of Yanzhao and a martial arts man. He was outspoken and had a bad temper. Liu Ziguang said to himself, "Why have you lost your temper before I spoke?" He looked down to see if his front door was open.
Okay, there is nothing wrong with wearing a white linen robe that covers her body smartly, so why is the heroine Dai angry? He looked at Han Xueer innocently, but found that Han Xueer was smiling proudly, as if she had defeated her opponent.
She was as proud as a rooster, this foxy girl really thought of herself as the eldest girl of the Marquis's house.
Liu Ziguang thought that Dai Wenpei had not come to visit for many days. He must have suddenly arrived today because of the Tiandi Hui. This matter could not be ignored. He quickly got up and changed his clothes. He asked his soldiers to get a box of sparkling sour plum soup and followed him to visit the Tiandi Hui.
of heroes.
Qingdao is a big construction site and a big barracks. Countless civilians work here, countless soldiers train day and night on land and at sea, countless ordnance supplies, warships and airships arrive from Shanghai, countless civilians, recruits, food and fodder
Bricks and tiles were continuously shipped from all over Shandong. Liu Ziguang's plan was very big. He wanted to build Qingdao into the first military port in the Far East and also the first seaside tourist resort. In addition to the money allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs, Liu Ziguang invested it himself.
There are also many people riding tall horses on the roads of Qingdao. Watching the city gradually improve, a smile appeared on Liu Ziguang's lips. He is not a miser. He just wants to spend some money. He did this
From the bottom of my heart, everything is for this country and this nation, not for my own selfish interests. However, if the results of my hard work fall into the hands of some eunuchs, it will not be pleasant. Thinking of the upcoming
Supervisor Dai Yi, Liu Ziguang's slightly raised corners of his mouth turned down again.
Just as he was thinking about something, the soldier said: "Commander, the barracks of the Tiandihui have arrived."
Liu Ziguang dismounted and walked into the barracks with his soldiers carrying sour plum soup. This barracks was specially set aside for the heroes of the Tiandihui. The heroes were bored and were carrying stone locks, playing with machetes and throwing knives in the open space.
When Liu Ziguang came in with a smile on his face, the heroes quickly stopped what they were doing and gathered around him eagerly, shouting: "Commander, Lord Marquis" to kowtow to him and salute him.
Liu Ziguang quickly helped everyone up and said: "Call the chief helmsman, we are all brothers, we don't want to give big gifts." This time when he came to visit everyone, Liu Ziguang did not wear official uniform, but a white arrow sleeve.
, I just don’t want to appear as a court official, but the heroes don’t think so. They have been waiting for so many days just to be rewarded and to be given the titles of generals and deputy generals.
"Chief Captain, we have been idle for so many days and our bones are itching. Please give me three thousand men and horses to lead this area. I will never embarrass you."
"Chief Commander, I don't want 3,000 men. Just give me 500 soldiers. I promise to keep them in command."
"Chief Commander, I don't want to lead troops. I have learned the Three Character Classic and can read it. You can appoint me as the county magistrate."
The heroes chattered around Liu Ziguang in the middle, talking about important officials. Liu Ziguang couldn't laugh or cry. The army is a disciplined organization, not a gang. It's okay to let them lead the troops. If you want to refuse, it's hard to say it directly.
He had no choice but to say: "Everyone, listen to me. Although Liu is a Beiyang minister sent by the imperial court, he cannot interfere in local affairs, nor in the affairs of the Forbidden Army. The only one who can speak up is my red shirt regiment, but
The idea of seniority in the regiment is very serious. They are all my brothers who have followed me through life and death. They have fought countless battles, big and small. If you guys want to order them as soon as you enter, it will not be easy."
The heroes were a little dumbfounded, but they were still unwilling to give up. They chased Liu Ziguang and asked: "Chief Rudder, you promised us in Beijing. We can wear gauze hats like generals and deputy generals casually. Why don't they count now?"
Liu Ziguang said in his heart that you are all well-known figures in the world, but you all became so shameless when you heard about being an official. It seems that the Chinese people's official mentality is really deep-rooted, and it is impossible for them to lead troops, but if you don't give it,
It was not good for several officials to appease him. He rolled his eyes, took the plan seriously, sat on the stone pier in the open space, and called on the soldiers to distribute the bubble sour plum soup to everyone to relieve the heat. The heroes drank it with flavor and mixed it with it.
Sour plum soup with soda powder, while watching Liu Ziguang closely to see what important speech he had.
"All heroes are experts with special skills. If you join the army as a errand, you will be overqualified. On the battlefield, thousands of arrows are fired, shells are flying, and thousands of troops are rushing to kill. What do you rely on? It is iron discipline.
It is not about superb martial arts, so your role on the battlefield will not be stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. However, as a special unit, you can go deep behind enemy lines, steal intelligence, kill enemy chiefs, and disrupt the rear. These are your strengths.
, Everyone knows the principle of capturing the thief first. For example, if you sneak into the enemy's camp alone and kill their general, then the result is the same as annihilating 10,000 enemy troops on the battlefield.
Yes, the rewards you receive are the same, so I suggest you all use your talents and go behind enemy lines to make contributions."
The heroes hung their cheeks and drank drinks while listening to Liu Ziguang's words. They were so absorbed in listening that they didn't even notice that they had finished drinking the sour plum soup, and were still sucking on the straw. When he finished speaking, everyone quickly raised their hands to speak.
"Chief Rudder, then there must be an explanation for our status."
Liu Ziguang pondered for a while and said: "The imperial court has recognized the Heaven and Earth Society as an official organization. The level of the protector is the same as the general, and the hall leader is the same as the general. The following analogy, your relationship is temporarily linked to Nanchang, which is regarded as the branch of Nanchang in the north.
.”
When the heroes heard this, they were immediately happy, but someone asked worriedly: "Then do we have a salary, do we have black gauze hats and official uniforms?"
Liu Ziguang left a drop of sweat on his forehead and said: "Nanchang is a small government office. The money allocated by the Ministry of Revenue every year is not enough to drink rice porridge, so we cannot pay salaries to everyone for the time being. However, the black gauze hats and official uniforms are enough. I will ask the tailor to count everyone later.
The size is easy to customize. Well, as for the salary, you can start like this, earn your own living, and rob the rich and give to the poor. Everyone is familiar with it. You can go to the areas occupied by the Qing Dynasty to rob the bannermen, and the money you get
Use it as funds and allocate it yourself, and Nanchang will never interfere."
In fact, the heroes who have no salary or salary don't really care. The key is to wear a black gauze hat, soap boots and a round-neck official uniform.
, that was their ultimate goal. With the black gauze hat, they could return to their hometown to show off their power. With Liu Ziguang's promise, everyone was finally satisfied and stood up and left happily. Only then did Liu Ziguang go to visit Dai Zhongying's family.
Dai's family lives in a separate small courtyard. This is the area where officers and their families live in the military camp, so the living facilities are relatively complete. They are all private courtyards. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they heard Dai Zhongying scolding his daughter:
"What grown man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Not to mention a hero like the chief rudder. Even your father, I haven't married you a third wife and concubine. Wen Pei, the food in the world is not that delicious. Listen to my father.
If so, go back and make amends with the chief helmsman, be good."
Dai Wenpei twisted his body, holding a small bundle in his hand, a lancet on his back, and a flowered scarf on his head. He looked like he was about to leave for a long distance. When he heard his father's words, he said angrily: "
No! If a maid dares to say that about me, then if we get to Nanjing, those ladies won’t know how to take care of me.” After speaking, she flattened her mouth and cried: “Dad, I don’t want to get married, I want to stay with you forever.
With you."
Dai Zhongying sighed: "Daughter, either dad is cruel, or for your brother Wenlong, for our generation family, you have to marry the chief helmsman. We no longer have a family, and dad's health is getting worse and worse.
, if you don’t find a safe backer, there will be no possibility for your family to prosper in the future.
.”
Liu Ziguang felt sad when he heard it at the door. It is not easy for people in the world. In order to fight against the Qing Dynasty, his family was ruined. Now he has to give up his daughter to someone else. This feeling is really not good. Dai Wenpei is a well-known heroine in the world. Let her
It is indeed a bit humiliating to marry into a Marquis Palace and become a concubine. It is better to pick this flower later.
Liu Ziguang coughed dryly at the door, then came in with his soldiers, and quickly greeted Dai's family. Liu Ziguang helped Dai Zhongying again. Before Dai Zhongying could speak, Liu Ziguang said: "Dai Nuxia said that she would return to Hebei and continue to carry out operations behind enemy lines.
I admire you very much for your great cause of fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and I specially sent you a gift." After saying that, he fired the two state-of-the-art firing pins under his arm and fired the six-shot firecracker together with the holster, the swivel belt, and the 30 rounds attached to the swivel belt.
Give the bullet to Dai Wenpei.
"This is the most powerful weapon in the world. No one can dodge or catch it. With this weapon in hand, no one can get close to you. Only in this way will I feel more at ease when you come to Hebei."
Liu Ziguang's words were sincere and moved the Dai family very much. Dai Wenpei even had tears in his eyes. According to the rules of their Jianghu people, gifting one's own sidearm is a very serious and important matter. Only life-and-death friends can do this.
And Liu Ziguang also said it, so that he would feel relieved. This shows that he has me in his heart. At this time, Shi Wenpei was full of complicated emotions, happy and angry. She was happy because Liu Ziguang came to see her and gave her a weapon.
, I'm angry because Liu Ziguang, a stupid bird, doesn't want to keep me. You should just say "stay", then I will definitely stay.
Liu Ziguang couldn't understand the heart of a woman like a needle in the sea. He continued: "Wenlong is so good at martial arts, just follow me as a private soldier. When he is older, let him go out to practice. He will definitely be able to rise to the rank of thousand before he is twenty years old."
The location of the household.”
Hearing this, Dai Zhongying and Dai Wenlong's eyes lit up, and the little boy asked excitedly: "Then can I wear the red shirt?"
Liu Ziguang smiled and said: "Of course you can wear it. You are the youngest soldier in our Red Shirt Army. Well, no, maybe we should call you the first recruit of the Red Shirt Army."
Unknowingly, Liu Ziguang's red shirt regiment has expanded a lot, and the regiment's organization is no longer suitable. In the next few days, it will be reorganized into a red shirt army.
