Staff General? What is the job of a staff general? Lin Wanrong hesitated for a while and said: "To be honest, Mr. Xu, you say that this war will kill people. My younger brother is naturally timid and afraid of death. How can I go to the battlefield?"
Xu Wei laughed loudly and said: "Brother Lin is really straightforward. To tell you the truth, the old man is actually afraid of death. But this time we have an absolute advantage in killing Bai Lian, and you are the general staff, so you don't have to fight in person. As long as you plan in the army. In addition, I will send the guards of the high chief to be by your side, so just go, little brother."
He has seen the high chieftain's skill before, the emperor's personal bodyguard, how can his skill be worse? In other words, it can be regarded as the enjoyment of an emperor, and this old man Xu Wei is quite willing to spend his money. Lin Wanrong pretended to be reserved and said: "Mr. Xu, there are so many capable people in your army, but why do you keep pulling me away? My little brother has never been on the battlefield. I feel scared when I see a big knife, and I feel dizzy when I see blood. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you if you go.”
Xu Wei shook his head and said solemnly: "Little brother is too humble. Your ability is what I have seen with my own eyes, astronomy, geography, physics, you are capable of everything, and I admire you very much. Even if you have never been on the battlefield, so what? Which of the lieutenant generals has not come here for the first time? At present, although the old man has good soldiers and good generals, he has no advisers. With the strength of the old man alone, no matter how hard he thinks, he may not be able to take care of everything. Ask the little brother to be my general staff and advise me."
Hearing what he said, Lin Wanrong felt more at ease. There was no danger, and it was exciting to be able to experience the battlefield. But it's a matter of life. But he couldn't be careless, he thought for a while, and then said: "Mr. Xu, how many soldiers and horses do you have under your command?"
Xu Wei stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of him. Smile smugly.
"500,000?" Lin Wanrong was taken aback. My god, this is a huge scale. A few pisses can flood Jinling City.
Xu Wei almost fainted, shook his head hastily, and said, "No, it's 50,000 people. Forty thousand soldiers, 10,000 cavalry, and 5,000 magicians."
fifty thousand? Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat off his brow, feeling a little embarrassed because he read too many novels. Every now and then, it would be a million-level battle, and it would take half a million people to wipe out a White Lotus Sect. Isn't that ridiculous? But you old man stretched out five fingers to show off like that, anyone who saw it would think it was half a million.
"How many people does the White Lotus Sect have?" Lin Wanrong asked again.
Xu Wei stretched out five fingers again and shook them a few times. Lin Wanrong was more cautious this time, and said directly, "Fifty thousand?"
Xu Wei almost bit his tongue, he has already begun to doubt. Is it a big mistake to hire Lin San as the general staff? This kid has no military knowledge at all. I'm here to suppress Bailian. If 50,000 is against 50,000, it's a fart.
"Five thousand!" Xu Wei said with blushing cheeks.
"Only five thousand?" Lin Wanrong couldn't believe his ears, he was stunned, and then said to himself: "Five thousand people, beating the ground is not enough."
Xu Wei loses his temper after being beaten by Lin three or two words. This is a war, and people will die, not a child playing house. He sighed and said: "The White Lotus Sect is entrenched in a place in Shandong. It claims to have tens of thousands of people, but in fact there are only 5,000 people who can really fight, and they are all soldiers who have never been trained. Their combat power is comparable to mine. The battalion is not the same. We have 50,000 men, against 5,000 of the enemy, ten men against one man, we have a sure chance of winning."
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu, if wars are all about numbers, then there is no need to fight. Just send people up to go shopping. Wars are fought at the right time, place and people. There are countless cases of winning more with less. Don't take it lightly."
These two sentences sounded like a staff general, Xu Wei felt a little better, and nodded: "-Brother's words are very true, the old man is just worried that he will be wrong, so he invites the little brother to walk with me. Follow me The cavalry battalion sergeant, plus the Shenji battalion, if I don’t win this battle, I won’t have the face to come back to see the elders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.”
"Shenji Camp?" Lin Wanrong suddenly became interested: "Is there a cannon in red?"
Xu Wei nodded and said: "In addition to the strong bow and crossbow, the Shenji Battalion also has ten improved red cannons. Speaking of which, the improvement of the red cannons is due to you, Brother Lin."
"Oh? Where did you start?" Lin Wanrong suddenly became excited when he heard that there was artillery support. As Xu Wei said, 50,000 people fight 5,000, and the red-clothed cannons are bombarding them indiscriminately. If not, it's better to find a piece of tofu and kill him.
"Brother Xue, do you still remember that Frenchman Tavoni? The two people captured by Tao Dongcheng?" Xu Wei said.
Crap, Tavoni, can I not remember? The old boy also promised to bring two little French beauties to Dahua next time, and the diamond business will also be handed over to me exclusively. As a reward, Tavoni has the exclusive right to operate perfume and soap in Europe, and he also does the same for the sale of tea and silk. In this way, my third brother Lin can also be regarded as the number one person in Eurasian trade. This maritime silk road was paved by myself.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "So cruel, remember, that old man looks so strange, it's hard to forget. By the way, is that Tavoni still in Hai'an now? Has their iron-clad ship been repaired, and has it returned to France?"
Xu Wei smiled and said, "The little brother asked me to find more skilled craftsmen to go to Hai'an to help the French repair their ships, so I selected a dozen or so capable craftsmen from the Shenji Camp to follow them to Hai'an. I don't know I was startled when I saw it. The iron armored ships of these ghosts are indeed extremely hard, and their structure is ingenious, suitable for ocean voyages. Compared with my Dahua, the artillery on their ships is much stronger in terms of accuracy and firepower These craftsmen stayed there for more than ten days, and came back after understanding the structure of the artillery, and modified my Dahua artillery accordingly, so that the power was comparable to those of Western cannons."
So, I told you to send someone there just to show you the technical level of Westerners and to promote the industrial development of Dahuadi.
develop. It seems that there is finally some gain. Lin Wanrong nodded and asked, "Then what do you think of the iron-clad ships of the Westerners?"
Xu Wei sighed: "These craftsmen are all the elites of my Shenji camp, but they can't do anything about the iron-clad boat. According to their speculation, the iron armor on the iron-clad boat cannot be made by a blacksmith, and I don't know How did these Westerners do it?"
Lin Wanrong sighed heavily. Others are in the mechanical age, but we are still in the manual age. The gap in basic industries cannot be caught up in a day or two. This path has been pointed out to Xu Wei, and I will do what I need to do. If you don't feel good about learning, it's entirely up to you.
Seeing Lin San, Xu Wenchang suddenly became sad for some reason. Feeling puzzled, he hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, this time the suppression. Would you like to help me?"
Xu Wenchang told him such an important military secret without reservation, which is a great trust in him. In this world, if anyone can compete with Lin Wanrong in terms of vision, it is Xu Wei.
That's all. Helping him is helping myself, destroying Bailian and clearing up civil strife. Then ask Xu Wei to remodel the artillery well, and pull it to the north in the spring of next year, blast a few shots, and blow those barbarians down. With a cannon in hand, the world has no worries, and even made a fart with the barbarians, telling them to go back to their hometown and let them go.
After making up his mind, Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, it's no problem to be your general staff officer. But you also know that Cheng De and I have a deep relationship. If I leave, they will come to Xiao's house to take revenge , and my restaurant, there is no one to take care of it, so I am very worried."
Xu Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, brother Luo has already thought of this. Didn't Cheng De take the initiative to ask Ying to transfer the Jiangsu Buying Cavalry to the border between the two provinces? I did what he wished and transferred him away." Soldiers and horses, let's see if he goes or not."
They're all old foxes, Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart, Xu Wei just took advantage of Cheng De's psychology and did his tricks. If Jiangsu soldiers and horses marched to the border between the two provinces, they would fall into the hands of Xu Wei's 50,000 army. If they did not leave Jinling, Xu Wei would be more at ease in suppressing Bailian. With his army at his side, Cheng De would not dare to act rashly.
"The Xiao family and the restaurant run by you will not only be guarded secretly by elder brother Luo's masters, but I will also deploy elite soldiers to protect them secretly. With my army by my side, I believe that Cheng De has no courage to raise troops openly, little brother. Don't worry." Xu Wei added.
Xu Wenchang is so sincere, Lin Wanrong has nothing to say, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Okay, since Mr. Wenchang values Lin San so much, if I refuse again, it will be hypocritical. Please tell Mrs. Xu to Madam, I will take over this errand." I'll go over and help Mr. Xu with odd jobs."
Xu Wei laughed: "Brother Gang is willing to help me, this old man is very grateful. That being the case, I will ask my little brother to prepare for it tomorrow, and we will set off in the morning of the next day."
The two made an appointment at the time and place to meet, and Xu Wenchang went to Gao Chief to report to Mrs. Xiao, and then left.
It was dusk, and Lin Wanrong thought that he was about to go to the battlefield, and he was worried and excited at the same time, walking up and down in his room, unable to survive for a moment.
"Go and see Qiaoqiao." He said to himself. After all, this is going to the battlefield, and what needs to be explained must be explained. Qiaoqiao is his unmarried wife, so there must be an explanation no matter what.
When we arrived at Shiweixian, it was already closing time. He went upstairs quietly, and saw the bright lights in Qiaoqiao's boudoir, and the girl didn't know what she was doing.
A tender feeling rose in his heart, and the warmth spread throughout his heart. When he sneaked into the house, he saw a woman with her back to him, embroidering something under the oil lamp with all her concentration.
Lin Wanrong smiled and approached her lightly like a civet cat. Suddenly, he put his arms around her waist and said with a light smile, "Baby Dong, do you miss me?"
The woman tensed up all over and was about to shout, when she heard his voice suddenly, her body stopped, trembling slightly, she said, "Brother Lin, is that you?"
Lin Wanrong knew something was wrong the moment she touched the woman's waist. Who is he, a master of touch and scratch, this start is different from Qiaoqiao's feeling. This woman's waist is delicate, smooth and full of elasticity, it seems to be a bit thinner than Qiaoqiao's.
Ouch, it's not good, I touched the wrong person, his thoughts turned brightly, but his hands lightly kneaded the woman's body a few more times, and said with a smile: "Qiaoqiao, isn't it just me, brother?" The way, every man will. It's called making mistakes and making mistakes, with no flaws to be found.
The woman turned around, looked at him faintly, and said softly: "Brother, it's me, Ning'er!"
Lin Wanrong was so startled that she took three steps back, looking terrified: "Miss Luo, how could it be you?"
Luo Ning saw that he was far away from her, as if she was like a scourge, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said softly: "Brother Lin, are you here looking for a coincidence?"
"That's right. Oh, I was sorry just now, I touched it wrong." Lin Wanrong explained slowly without blushing.
Luo Ning's face turned red to the neck. Not knowing where to put his hands, he hastily lowered his head and dared not speak.
Girl, speak up. Say you want me to touch you. Lin Wanrong yelled shamelessly in his heart. Luo Ning's confession last night made him a little crazy, but the rumor that Miss Luo is going to recruit a husband, which is circulating in the market today, made him feel a little cheated, and his mind was inevitably perverted.
In the end, Lin Wanrong was disappointed, how could Luo Ning's face be so thick. He bowed his head and dared not say a word. Qiaoqiao that girl didn't know where she went, for a while, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the room was extremely strange.
Lin Wanrong didn't know what to say, seeing that Luo Ning was holding a piece of red satin as thin as silk in her hand, and she was embroidering something on it just now.
"Miss Luo, embroidery!" Lin Wanrong thought she had found a gap to open up the topic, so she smiled shyly.
Luo Ning let out a cry, and hurriedly hid the red satin cloth behind her back. She was already extremely shy, but now her face was burning like fire, and her little face was flushed red. It seems to be dripping water.
Lin Wanrong thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized, ouch, I really don’t know much about it, what kind of satin is that, it’s an obscene dress worn by women, no wonder the style looks so strange, and I don’t know if it’s a back button or a front button land.
Now the relationship between the two is completely at a standstill, and it has reached this level. Lin Wanrong is also a dead pig and is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He laughed dryly and said: "Well, Miss Luo, this kind of clothes are not good for your physical development. , It is easy to cause partial sagging. Our Xiao family has recently launched some new women's underwear, which is scientific and fit, and I will give you ten sets or eight sets for you tomorrow. If you have nothing to do, you can change underwear for fun."
"Brother—" Luo Ning couldn't bear his coquettish words, she let out a coquettish cry, and hurriedly buried her head in Su's chest. Lin Wanrong followed the trend, and saw her gnashing her silver teeth lightly, her complexion burning like fire, her snow-white neck with a touch of pink, her plump chest rising and falling sharply, and the two peaks standing on top of her in the majestic waves, she almost broke out of her clothes.
"That, Miss Luo," Lin Wanrong swallowed hard, and said without words: "Why are you here?"
Luo Ning hummed lightly: "I'm almost in good health today. I didn't want to stay at home alone, so I came here with Qiaoqiao, and I met my eldest brother again."
Oh, so that's the case, Lin Wanrong wanted to ask about the recruiting of relatives, but then I thought about it, isn't this me asking for trouble, this chick is chasing me, please be a man with some dignity, please.
"Are you really in good health? Do you still have a fever? How is your food?" Lin Wanrong asked.
The redness on Luo Ning's face faded a lot, she raised her head and smiled sweetly: "It's really better, Qiaoqiao cooked a lot of delicious food for me today, big brother will be lucky in the future."
Of course there is nothing to say about Qiaoqiao's craftsmanship, but why is this girl missing? I haven't seen her come out to serve my husband after being here for a long time. Just about to ask Luo Ning, Luo Ning asked, "Brother Lin, will you participate in the poetry competition?"
Lin Wanrong was taken aback for a moment, I didn't ask, but this chick took the initiative to mention it. He smiled and said: "This poetry competition is a matter for you talented scholars and talented women. I am only responsible for paying for the sponsorship. It will be the same whether you come or not."
Luo Ning's face turned pale and said: "Brother, didn't we agree on that day, you must come to participate."
Lin Wanrong smiled, Luo Ning invited him to participate in the poetry competition that day, he once joked that even if he went, he would just eat and drink, it would not be of much use. What's more, he didn't have much interest in this poetry competition. Lin Wanrong said helplessly: "Miss Luo, it's no use if I go. I'm not interested in these at all, but I'm making others laugh."
Luo Ning gritted her teeth tightly and looked at him and said: "Brother, you must come, you must come, otherwise, Ning'er—" Tears rolled in her eyes, and she couldn't say anything.
Will Sai Shi be so important? Could it be that the matter of recruiting relatives is true? But why this girl didn't tell me directly, I really don't understand. Seeing Luo Ning's pitiful look, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but sighed and said, "Miss Luo, do you have something to tell me?"
Luo stared at him with tears in his eyes and said: "Brother, what Ning'er said to you last night is true, you must believe me."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "I know. But I have some urgent matters. I will leave Jinling the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if I can come back when the poetry competition is held." He is now Xu Wei's general staff, with important military affairs I don't know how long the battle to wipe out Bailian will last, and I don't have time to pay attention to the Sai Shihui.
Luo Ning's face turned miserable when she heard this, she stared blankly at him and said, "Brother, are you leaving Jinling?"
Lin Wanrong nodded: "Yes, there are some very important things to do."
"Then when can you come back?" Luo Ning asked softly.
"This, I'm not sure." Lin Wanrong hesitated. How can I say accurately about the war: "Maybe three to five days, maybe—"
"Brother, you must come to this poetry competition—" Luo Ning cut off his words. Lai Lai burst into tears, the clothes on her chest were already wet with tears.
Must come? This chick is too domineering. Lin Wanrong looked at Luo Ning helplessly, but saw that her face was full of tears, and the teardrops slowly rolled down her white neck, indescribably pure and pitiful.
Lin Wanrong couldn't stand it anymore. This little girl cried so softly in my heart, that's all, that's all. The big deal is to ask Xu Wei for a vacation at that time, and rush back from Shandong. Damn, who will let me be tricked by beauty. He despised himself for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't cry, I promise you, I will come back when the time comes."
"Really?" Luo Ning suddenly became happy. The pale face became a little rosy, the long eyelashes trembled, with some bright teardrops, under the dim light, they shone with a seductive luster.
"If I don't agree, I won't be drowned by your tears?" Lin Wanrong teased.
Luo Ning blushed a little, glanced at Lin Wanrong with her big watery eyes, and said softly, "Brother Lin, you are so kind to me."
Khan, this is Qiaoqiao's favorite saying, when did this girl Luo Ning learn it
"Brother, today is the thirteenth day of the winter moon, and there are still seventeen days before the poetry competition. You must come back when the time comes. Ning'er is waiting for you by the Xuanwu Lake." Luo Ning counted with her fingers, with that expression , not like a talented woman famous in Jinling.
It's over, it's over, Lao Tzu's biggest weakness has finally been exposed, if an enemy tries to trick me, I will surrender obediently. Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly, and then she saw clearly that what Luo Ning was embroidering on the obscene clothes in her hand was a pair of things that looked like birds but not birds.
Luo Ning saw that his eyes were fixed on the obscene clothes, she couldn't help but blushed, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made a great determination, her hands trembling slightly, she held the obscene clothes in her hands, and let him watch them. Bury your head on your chest and listen to the sound of your own heartbeat.
"Miss Luo, are you embroidering this pair of birds? They are so beautiful." Lin Wanrong opened her eyes wide and said innocently.
"Brother Lin, this isn't a bird, it's a mandarin duck, ah—" As soon as she finished speaking, she realized
Being fooled, how can a woman talk about mandarin ducks in front of a man. What's more, with his talent and learning, how can he not know mandarin ducks? She was so ashamed that she covered her flushed cheeks with her hands, and said softly, "Brother, you are so bad—"
Lin Wanrong chuckled, usually what a chick means when she says this is, brother, you are so bad, I hope you are even worse. Do I want to be even worse? Last night, it was Qiaoqiao playing in Luo Ning's room, but tonight it was Qiaoqiao playing Luo Ning in Qiaoqiao's room. It's a cycle of heaven, retribution, retribution!
Lin Wanrong coughed twice and said, "This, Miss Luo, I didn't do it on purpose, just like touching the wrong person just now, it wasn't on purpose."
"Brother—" Luo Ning lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "Don't say any more frivolous words, Ning'er can't bear it, you are the enemy in my life."
Lin Wanrong felt a pang in his heart when he said a word, enemy? My god, to hear a pretty chick say something like that is invincible, it's just plain flirtatious.
Luo Ning groaned, her head almost lowered to her ankles, Lin Wanrong smiled and was about to speak, but heard a soft voice from upstairs: "Sister Ning, I'm done washing, please hand me my clothes Give me."
This voice is very familiar, it is Qiaoqiao Baby. Luo stared at him, and said shyly, "Qiaoqiao's younger sister is taking a bath upstairs, so I'll send her some clothes right now."
"Really?" Lin Wanrong let out a gasp in his nose: "Don't panic, Miss Luo, I'll go with you."
Luo Ning's heart trembled, her hands trembled, and even her clothes fell to the ground in shock.
