Three hundred and twentieth chapters different hearts
Li Xing came out of the General Military Mansion and rode with his bodyguard to Fanjiazhuang with a flag and honor guard.
Nowadays, Li Xing is the commander of the capital, Fanjiazhuang guerrilla, and his official title is the second rank, which is also a well-known high-ranking official. Pedestrians on the road saw the guerrilla generals' flags clearing the way, especially the "Fanjiazhuang" guerrilla generals. Knowing that the visitor had a good identity, they all
Get out of the way.
Li Xing was walking forward when he saw a flag procession coming from a distance. Li Xing looked carefully at the flag in the distance and saw "Shandong Chengxuan Administrative Envoy Si You Participates in Politics", "Shandong Provincial Envoy Procuratorate Secretary Right to Participate in Political Affairs", "Shandong Provincial Envoy Provost and Procuratorate Secretary".
There are several banners: "Reorganize the Tianjin Middle Road Military Preparation" and "Reorganize Tianjin Middle Road Military Preparation". The person coming in front is none other than Yang Xiuming, the new Tianjin Middle Road Military Preparation Department.
Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Si You participated in politics, and Shandong Punishing and Prosecution Envoy Si Qianshi were concurrent official titles held by Yang Xiuming. What Yang Xiuming really did was Tianjin Middle Road Military Preparation Road.
Fanjiazhuang was under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Middle Road. This middle road military was Li Xing's direct superior. Li Xing was about to ask the guard of honor to get out of the way, but he saw that Yang Xiuming's team in front had moved to the left of the road, leaving the middle of the road to Li Xing.
prosper.
Li Xing was stunned for a moment, thinking that there were high-ranking officials behind him. But Li Xing looked back to look at the way, but did not see the official guard of honor.
This soldier prepared the road for Yang Xiuming and gave the road to Li Xing.
Li Xing thought for a while, and went up to greet Yang Xiuming with a smile and a guard of honor. He walked to Yang Xiuming's horse, raised his hands on the horse and said, "I didn't expect to see Mr. Yang here."
Originally, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xing, a guerrilla general, had to kneel down and salute when he saw Shangguan Bing Bei Dao. However, Li Xing had his brother Li Zhi to support him, so he did not regard Bing Bei as a superior officer. He handed over his hand as a courtesy.
And now that Yang Xiuming has made way for him, he will really scare Yang Xiuming if he kneels again.
Yang Xiuming jumped off the horse, stood beside Li Xing's horse and said, "I haven't seen the second general for many days. The second general is here well."
Li Xing was secretly amused when he saw Yang Xiuming jumping off his horse and calling himself the second general.
Li Zhi is the general, and he is the second general of Tianjin? It seems that after arresting four civil servants including Zha Dengbei, the civil servants in Tianjin no longer have the courage to protest against Li Zhi. Now Yang Xiuming is going to
He flattered Li Xing by saying "Second General" and even jumped off his horse to salute him. How could he still have the pretense of being an official?
Li Xing said with a smile: "Li Xing is busy with worldly affairs today. I will visit the Bingbei Mansion another day and say goodbye!"
"Second General, walk slowly!"
Li Xingzhi was so proud that he waved his whip and walked forward.

Jiang Chong sat in the middle of a dozen or so households and took a light sip of tea.
Jiang Chong is now the backbone of the Huben Division and is already the company commander of the Entrapment Regiment. He was recruited to join the Selection Regiment in September of the seventh year of Chongzhen. He started as a soldier and was promoted to squad leader of the Polu Regiment in the ninth year of Chongzhen based on his military exploits. Later, he was promoted to the leader of the Entrapment Regiment.
After it was established, he was transferred to the platoon leader of the trapping regiment. At the end of the eleventh year and the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, he led his troops with the general to kill the Tatars in Gyeonggi. Based on his military exploits, he was promoted to the company commander of the trapping regiment.
Now Jiang Chong has 124 soldiers under his command and earns nine taels a month. He is already a mid-level officer in Fanjiazhuang.
This time Jiang Chong returned to the "old city" of Fanjiazhuang to act as a guarantor for more than a dozen neighbors.
The so-called Fanjiazhuang old town is actually Fanjiazhuang before Li Zhi came to Fanjiazhuang to serve as the hundred-household management team officer. This area had been bulldozed in the eighth year of Chongzhen when he was building city walls and villas. Li Zhi compensated each of the old residents of Fanjiazhuang with a building.
Small villa. These Fanjiazhuang natives live in the northeast of the city. After years of development, most of them are engaged in business in Fanjiazhuang and live a well-off life.
But compared with the soldiers in Fanjiazhuang and the employees of Li Zhi's factory, the living standards of these indigenous people in Fanjiazhuang are relatively lagging behind. Young people can only earn more than 20 taels a month as traders, while Li Zhi spends 35 taels a month to support his family.
There is still a gap between the workers and the soldiers who support 40% and 20%, respectively.
Among these natives, the most promising are Jiang Chong and Hua Zhang, who are officers in the Huben Division. Now they are company commanders, both married to beautiful wives, and live in magnificent luxury villas. They are both young.
They already have children and live a life that everyone envies.
The situation of Jiang Chong and Hua Zhang made the natives of Fanjiazhuang understand that if they want to live a good life, they must closely follow the footsteps of the general. It is not enough to follow in Fanjiazhuang, they must also follow in factories and the army.
There will be a bright future.
This time, the Huben Division recruited new soldiers again. The natives of Fanjiazhuang were unwilling to lag behind any longer. They approached Jiang Chong and asked him to act as a guarantor for the natives of Fanjiazhuang.
Looking at the eager eyes of his old neighbors, Jiang Chong coughed, turned around and asked Old Xingtou beside him: "Dad Xing, what do you want to say first?"
Old Xingtou is sixty years old and is the oldest among the Fanjiazhuang natives. He used to be quite prestigious in Fanjiazhuang. But when Li Zhi came and changed Fanjiazhuang, Old Xingtou gradually fell behind. His only son was
The income from selling fish in the market in the north of the city is much lower than that of Jiang Chong and Hua Zhang.
In comparison, Lao Xingtou's family was completely different from Jiang Chong's family. Jiang Chong's family was originally one of the poorest households in Fanjiazhuang. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Jiang Chong almost fled Fanjiazhuang. But on the eve of Jiang Chong's escape,
The General came, and Jiang Chong was recruited to become a soldier of the General, and he rose through the ranks from then on.
Now in the eyes of this group of natives, one sentence from Jiang Chong is worth ten words from Old Xingtou.
Hearing Jiang Chong ask him to speak, Old Xingtou felt a little embarrassed, holding his pipe in his mouth and said: "I won't say it, just say it! You are the company commander now, and everyone is counting on you and waiting for you to speak!"
When Jiang Chong heard this, he stood up and said: "Neighbors, this time the general wants to recruit 8,000 people. This is an opportunity!"
"Why is it said to be an opportunity? Because this time the recruitment of new soldiers requires veterans to be the guarantee, and each veteran can only guarantee five people. In other words, there are only more than 60,000 people to compete for these 8,000 vacancies!"
"Compared with the previous situation where there were often more than a dozen people vying for a position, the competition this time is not so fierce."
"Following the General will lead to a smooth career. Everyone has seen the situation that Hua Zhang and I are in. Now my wife not only does not need to spin or weave, but the family also bought a maid to do chores. She only needs to take care of the children. All she has to do is follow the General.
Keep pace, good days are ahead of you."
Jiang Chong glanced at the dozen or so neighbors who were looking at him eagerly, knowing that these neighbors were waiting for him to tell them whether he could be their guarantor.
Jiang Chong nodded and said: "Yes, as the company commander this time, I can protect fifteen people."
Hearing Jiang Chong's words that he could protect fifteen people, the natives below were excited and started talking happily. There were twelve families and fourteen strong men here who wanted to join the army, and Jiang Chong could protect them all.
But Jiang Chong said: "But I want to make it clear that I am responsible for being the guarantor. If a spy is found, the guarantor will lose his head. I can guarantee the thirteen people who have been working in Fanjiazhuang and have not left the city in the past three years."
.Chen Erdan went to Huizhou to seek refuge with his uncle the year before last and stayed outside Fanjiazhuang for two years. I can’t protect him!"
Hearing Jiang Chong's words, Chen Erdan said anxiously: "Brother Jiang, I studied accounting in Huizhou for two years and didn't do any bad things. Now I have stopped working and come back! Why don't you protect me?"
Jiang Chong shook his head and said: "I don't know who you met in Huizhou and what happened. I don't dare to joke with my own head."
Chen Erdan was very disappointed and squatted on the ground angrily, unwilling to stand up again.
Seeing what happened to Chen Erdan, the other neighbors took a breath and said to themselves that they were lucky to have stayed in Fanjiazhuang all these years. Fanjiazhuang is a paradise in troubled times. As long as you follow the general closely, you will have a good life. If you go out in these turbulent years,
It is a shameless thing to go to relatives and friends, and you will be suspected of having ulterior motives when you come back. (To be continued.)
