After Zhou Huai came out with unexplainable intentions, he still sighed inexplicably.
Well, women’s emotions are really unpredictable and unpredictable in the general weather; just now they are still going to die, and for a while they look dull again, and then they turn to be cheerful, and even become a little shy and gentle. Be kind.
In the end, Zhou Huaian was unable to hold himself under the graceful behavior of the beauty of undressing and undressing in front of her face; and a quick-talking experience came hastily. If it hadn't been for the sound of reports from outside that interrupted this process, he would still like to continue to struggle and linger one by one.
This time, unexpected people came to visit.
"Here is Ma Xiang, I am called Ma Da Ear... Brother Xu also called me good..."
In the temporary garrison, a veteran of the Volunteers who looked bruised and bruised all over his body, was quite bold and bold. The most conspicuous are the long scars that split the corners of his eyes all the way to the back of his head, and the only remaining ear on the left, which is much larger than ordinary people.
"To tell you the truth, I am planning to lead my team to vote for you, so I don't know if I will accept it..."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help being surprised. Although he had been secretly pulling people and digging walls, he didn't expect that there would be a Volunteer veteran who wanted to bring his troops to surrender. As for the leaders and generals of the Rebel Army, the Taiping Army has established corresponding records.
For example, Ma Xiang, who was nicknamed "Ma Da Er", was an out-and-out old brother of the rebel army; he led the Xiangdang party to participate in the uprising even earlier than Huang Chao, and it was far from the existence of a rebel youth like Chai Ping.
"But I don't know what virtue I have to make Brother Ma come and run,"
Zhou Huai'an and Yan Yue looked straight to the point.
"If you want a place to live, you can take your noble family and wealth to buy a home in Canton, and spend the rest of your life in a comfortable way..."
"I don't have any net worth or expenses left, only the old brothers who are about to be impressed by me..."
He said without thinking.
"Now that King Huang has manpower available, he can no longer count on old brothers like ours. I heard that Brother Xu is willing to accept news from all kinds of people; so I am here to beg for personal affection. To see if we can find something to do, even if we rent a plot of land, it can be considered a stopgap..."
He seems to have put his posture very low, and he does not have the confidence and self-sufficiency of the ranks of seniority. However, Zhou Huaian could not help but develop a certain curiosity and desire to explore, what exactly happened, made them move to other people's minds.
Then Zhou Huai'an talked with him for a few more words to find out that the root of all this was in the beginning; the Taiping Army successively took in tens of thousands of people and their families who fled under the order of Master Yang. Now that these people have settled down, most of them are no longer willing to return to their displaced career.
However, the relationship between the Taiping Army and the rebels' main line was restored, and the corresponding correspondence spreads the status quo to the old friends and relatives. In addition, the Taiping Army has been very active in privately doing business during this period of time. ; So even a veteran like him can't help thinking.
Of course, this is only his explicit rhetoric; privately, I am afraid that there are other reasons and factors that are not humane; for example, according to Zhou Huaian's part of the situation and inside information.
There are also many differences between the old brothers and the new leaders, the old Henan and Jingchu, the Huaishan people, the children of Changheng and the Yuanju Xiangdang among the large and small hills that lined the main formation of the rebel army under the command of the generals. Among the staff and subordinates in the General's Mansion, it is also the distinction between Yuan Cong and Xin Fu, Qi Li, and clan relatives.
It's just that these existences have been changing with the ups and downs of the fighting situation of the rebels; could it be that there are some conditions and changes in this.
Although the forces of the Taiping Army under his own control made others treat them as shelters for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. But Zhou Huai'an didn't have any anger; because it was also a lot of potential prestige and appeal, but it took time for it to take effect.
After all, these people are old friends with relatives; they will also have a day of old age, and they are also sorrowful because of this. In contrast, the cost of setting aside a free Yuzhuang courtyard to support them for a period of time is actually negligible.
. . . . . . . .
Under the bright light of the sky, Wang Zhongba was also standing on the Clipper boat when he returned from the banquet, slowly observing the scene along the river. I saw the green hills in the distance and the rice paddies as weaving, and the near shore was Lin Litsby's camp. Although it has been reduced a lot compared to before, but it shows a neat and orderly meaning.
On the one hand, quite a few of the volunteers have been transferred out to attack the city to expand the scope of the Israeli army’s activities; on the other hand, it is the result of the "rules" and "integration" of the generals' mansion during this period. ;
The navy under his command is also among them, and they have participated in a lot of efforts and directly dealt with them; for example, they cooperated with the suppression and merger from the water, trying to make troubles based on other troops, or the teams that tried to escape the river. To stop and volley down.
So in order to thank him for his personal contribution and performance in it, privately or on the face of the people from the generals’ mansion, he invited him to drink several wines at a big banquet and small meeting to connect with feelings; this time it is naturally not The exception is that it expresses the meaning and intention of getting closer.
"Oh, they are really willing to give it out. This is the navy commander who has all the way..."
A kiss smiled beside him
"As long as you are willing to take people over, you don't need to be controlled by others anymore..."
"Are you tempted..."
Wang Zhongba couldn't comment, and gave him a smile.
"It's indeed a bit tempting... After all, it's your own leader... No one can stay unmoved..."
This pro-family said without concealing his face with a drooling face
"You can be honest, but... you have to know that people are the most expensive and self-knowledge;"
Wang Zhongba sighed at him.
"Do you think that we can get this situation and weather now. Who can get it? And by what basis can we defeat the enemy and overcome the river... Those people can only see the scenery and style of us right now, but they don't. Knowing that we are the basic relationship of the navy;"
"Although we are known as naval masters across the river, our roots and support are still on land. Once we leave the well-run ports, shipyards, and boatmen and fish farmers who rely on replenishment of manpower on the shore; no matter how much water there is. The teacher is nothing more than a rootless papaver that can't stand the damage and drifts with the flow without any successor..."
"And they themselves don't even have a stable place to live and gather, so why do they boast about the vast sea of the sky? They dare to say what they want... It's just a temporary means of enticement. ."
"Furthermore, in terms of public and private, the leader is kind to our generation first and the responsibility is second. How ignorant talents will leave it alone; what kind of volunteer leader dares to reuse it for a long time, Such an ungrateful and ungrateful person who tends to profit..."
What's more, Wang Zhongba still had unspoken meanings that could not be stated clearly; you must know that most of the navy soldiers' family members and the army divisions belonged to their names, but they were all in Jiangling territory. In addition, Gangneung has set up a large training center in the Gangneung Navy branch. In the future, the transfer of a team above the team will need to undergo retraining and pass the examination before being released.
If someone were to desperately tore their faces and vote for another ministry, there was a high probability that the subordinates and soldiers would be called up and instigated by the princes dispatched at all levels, and would directly tie up the first advocate on the spot. .
After all, in the current situation of the Taiping Army, with the exception of a few frenzied or over-ambitious speculators; no one will easily give up the low-handed treatment and land properties, and risk speculation at the cost of the expectation of a stable life in the future. Other prospects and outlets.
"So, after coming back this time, Daoyuhousi should report it..."
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongba continued to command.
"Regardless of whether there is a real relationship or internal situation, it is the most basic attitude in the military to behave in the world..."
Listening to these words, standing among the guards a little far away, there were two young faces flashing and communicating, and they returned to the ordinary.
. . . . . . . .
In the city of Canton.
Liu Deguang, a newly graduated student from the recent retraining intensive course of the Great Training Institute, also carrying a standard hard cloth bag, holding an anonymous letter of recommendation, sitting on the main road in the city, and going back and forth regularly in the long carriage carriage. Slightly uneasy, report to the place where he belongs.
He was originally just the son of a small merchant in Fujian; his ancestral home was Shangcai, Henan. It was just that when he was a child, he escaped from Pang Xun's rebellion with his father Liu Anren, and the family moved to Fujian, and finally managed to settle down by doing business as a livelihood.
It’s just that after the hardship of the world, the gang of robbers, the Quanzhou military civil strife, and the grass bandits marched south; so he had to follow his father to escape the war, and bought a boat to go to the local area of Guangzhou to continue to bring along with his father. The goods and soft vendors make a living.
However, as a foreign trader, trying to gain a foothold in the local area is also difficult and squeezed out; especially the harassment and righteousness from those city fox stove rats is also annoying.
Therefore, his father, Liu Anren, is also a decisive figure. He decided to pool all his savings and borrow from his fellow villagers. He entrusted the old-style relationship of serving as an assistant in the Canton governor’s mansion and gave him the identity of a small school in the back door. .
This can also be regarded as a military official in the Ya, and can help most of the troubles and wrongs from the bottom of society for the family's business. But as if it was God's will, the person who accepted his entrustment quickly disappeared. And the fellow townsmen who lent his money also urged him to change his face.
Then there was no more; his father died of illness in anxiety. Although he tried his best to maintain the business, he still inevitably took the goods away from the creditors and was driven out of the leased courtyard alone. Wandered to a convenient courtyard in the temple to temporarily settle down.
For a long time, he could only rely on his thoughts and cleverness and his eloquence, selling firewood and melon vegetables from the villagers outside the city to sell in the city, and barely maintained his daily life of hunger and fullness. In order to compete with the locals for a temporary sale, he was even beaten up with blood.
It can be said that his experience is one of the epitome of most people of the same kind in this era. But when the grass thief/rebel army continued to attack the ridge outside, and the officers and soldiers along the way were unable to resist, they were sunk in a blink of an eye. He also cut off this last livelihood in a blink of an eye.
When he was living on the streets of Guangzhou and was unsustainable, he was recruited by the Rebel Army's newly established Xuncheng Division to become the first batch of grassroots clerks because of his crude knowledge of writing and counting.
Then, because of the more diligent and cautious habits that merchants have cultivated, they start from the lowest level of pedestrians, co-organizers, cadres, managers, assistants, and managers.
In the end, he was able to obtain this retraining quota through the preliminary examination in the opportunity of the left and right Xuncheng Division expansion.
It’s just that after he had gone through half a year of retraining, he was not assigned to the original left and right Xuncheng Division, nor was it his intended branch of shipping, business, transshipment, and river affairs, but this unknown name. Department of Social Research.
After getting off the carriage, he asked several times in a row, and then he found this in a back alley that he had ignored and missed twice. The winding path was somewhat unremarkable, even some. The door to the old courtyard wall is located.
It's just that there is something strange in this social media department. There are only a large area of seemingly empty buildings and abandoned and dead flowers and trees. There are many independent and closed courtyards connected by the promenade of the front hall main hall. Among them are rooms that have been renovated in a unified manner. .
Most of the time, there will be people in these rooms who are immersed in copying, reading, and processing documents, and holding the corresponding sealed boxes from time to time, and frequently and hurriedly between the corridors;
Everything is always so orderly and very quiet, it seems that there is no hidden place or the smoke and fire of a powerful department at all, and it is more like a big tent in a business club.
In fact, the inconspicuous place outside the door is an old door plaque of "South China Sea Trade Union (Neijiang Hall)". And Liu Deguang's thoughts slowly cooled down, but he wondered if he was scattered by others.
"Aha, finally a freshman came over..."
In a hall at the end of the corridor, there was such an undisguised complaint.
"Don't bring it in quickly. I will deliver the work as soon as possible. Is it possible to keep it for the night... Of course, let him memorize the confidentiality statement before talking..."
"Confidentiality Chen."
These four words pierced Liu Deguang's eardrum like a scorching rocket, and immediately made him refreshed and energetic. Isn't this a prerequisite and proof that oneself will participate in confidential affairs
It's four thousand chapters again, I feel like everyone is a bit uninteresting
