Chapter six hundred and seventy-three: In Taoyuan

Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang put the military cards of the intelligence army into their arms, and then put the military cards of the field army on their belts like Wang Hui. After they stepped onto the territory of Taiping Mansion, they took off their plain clothes and put on their strong clothes. Although they were not military uniforms, they could still feel the breath of martial artists in their every move.

Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang squeezed forward. A diner who was unable to squeeze in outside looked back with some dissatisfaction and was about to open his mouth to scold him, but when he saw Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang were wearing strong clothes, he couldn't help but be stunned. On the ground of Taiping Mansion, those who were wearing strong clothes were probably children or soldiers in the martial arts field, especially soldiers, who were used to it in the army. If they were asked to wear loose robes of ordinary people during vacation, they would be very uncomfortable, so they usually showed themselves in strong clothes. This way they would move more freely.

The diner closed his mouth and looked at their waists. He suddenly found the iron sign hanging around his waist. The diner lived near the North Gate and also operated his own small hardware store, which usually sells hammers, hammers, shovels, etc. Because the hardware store is open in the North Gate of Wuhu, there are many people coming and going, and the business is naturally good. Many soldiers who change defense and leave also like to buy some tools and other stores when they pass by the North Gate. There are many training subjects in the army, and the soldiers have good hands-on ability. Usually, the furniture at home is broken and the house leaks, and the soldiers repair it themselves. Naturally, the boss knew the military signs of the New Army. When he saw that the two men were hanging the military signs of the New Army, they were actually a small flag officer in terms of color.

If this small flag official was placed in other places in the Ming Dynasty, it would be worthless, but it would be amazing here. Not to mention, the small flag official could get five taels of silver in a month. It was a high-income class, with sixty taels of silver a year. Even his small hardware store would not make so much money a year. What's more, if these officers could make military achievements, it would be even more amazing. And according to the treatment of the Qingyi Army, the small flag official could be divided into ten acres of land, which is not worth it. That's a little landlord. This girl from Anqingwei who is not married, doesn't want to marry an Qingyi Army officer. That's a matter of life.

"I have met two adults, and two adults." The diner bowed to Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang. Although Taiping Prefecture had a good tradition of military and civilian relationships when Liu Yi founded the army, as the number of foreigners increased, the locals might be better, but those outsiders were still a little scared when they saw the new army generals. Moreover, even locals might be fine when they met soldiers, but they would have to salute them when they met officers. This shows respect for soldiers. Originally, Liu Yi wanted to turn this habit around and become like a republic. However, people's thoughts in this era have their natural limitations and will not be able to reverse them for a while, so they simply let them go. But there is one thing: no matter how the people treat the new army soldiers, the new army still needs to carve the three major disciplines and eight points in their minds and not violate them.

Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang looked at each other. A mere banner official was so respected in the Ming Dynasty. The two felt very awkward. Hu Yougang asked the man to ask, "What are you doing? Don't do this, don't do this." The man heard the accents of the two and said in surprise: "The two sirs are not locals from Anqingwei?"

Hu Yougang replied: "Oh, we are from Liaodong, we are indeed not locals. The first time we are in Taiping Mansion, we have never seen such a prosperous city. When we smelled the pancakes were quite fragrant, we wanted to buy two to try them."

The diners opened their mouths wide. It was the first time these two new army officers came to Taiping Prefecture, which means they had never served in Taiping Prefecture. The people of Anqing Guard had known about Liu Yi's assistance to Liaodong. It seems that these two soldiers really came back from Liaodong thousands of miles away. This is a strange thing. The Qingyi Army is basically the children of Anqing Guard. The Liaodong people can join the Qingyi Army, which means that these two people must have great skills, otherwise why are they still officers? The diners immediately turned around and shouted: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! There are two Qingyi Army soldiers who have arrived in Wuhu County for the first time."

The noise of the crowd stopped abruptly. People turned around and looked at the direction of the person calling, and found two men in strong clothes standing there awkwardly. They rubbed their hands, a little at a loss. After a while, the crowd automatically separated a road. People close to each other saw Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang's waist signs and shouted: "It's two small flags."

"Please, please, please, please, please." Everyone had smiles on their faces, and their tone was extremely polite, and they made invitation gestures. It meant that Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang bought first. Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang were stunned, and didn't know what to do for a moment. Hu Yougang saw a little boy standing by the pancake stove, looking about five or six years old. Hu Yougang said: "With children here, let the children eat first, let us wait."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the little boy shouted: "The gentleman from the academy said that the uncles of Qingyijun are all heroes who defend their country. When they meet them, they should be courteous." After that, the little boy ran away and stood aside. Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang seemed to feel their vision blurry, their noses were a little sore, and their throats seemed to be blocked by something. Hu Yougang rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then pretended to be calm and said to Zhang Fang: "The wind is so strong today, and sand is in his eyes. Haha."

The diner ran to the old man selling sesame cakes and said, "Old Li, these two are from Liaodong. The first time they have come to our place, and they have never eaten your sesame cakes." "Damn it, I want you to tell me that when I was young, I also traveled around the world, but I still can't hear the accent of them?" Old Li scolded the diner.

Then, he changed his expression and took out a few steaming crispy pancakes from the stove with a smile on his face, wrapped in oil paper. Then he left the stall and walked to the two of them, "The little old man's pancake costs two cents each, not a valuable thing. These are the only ones who respect the two soldiers. Without your efforts, there would be no good life for the little old man. Thank you for the two soldiers." Old Li handed the pancakes to Hu Yougang's hand and bowed them with his fists. Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang were stunned and stood there, at a loss. Seeing that the two soldiers had already received the pancakes, the crowd regained the noise and flocked to the pancake stall again.

Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang looked at each other. At this moment, their hearts were deeply shocked. Hu You seemed to suddenly understand why the new army can be invincible and defeated. If such an army cannot win every battle, who else can do it?

"Eat quickly, it will taste bad if it is cold. I know you have a lot of appetite. You should use your stomach as a simple breakfast. There are many delicacies in the city. There are many time to taste it slowly. The above is given seven days. You can relax in Taiping Mansion, feel it well, and also evaluate whether you want to fight for such an army." Wang Hui couldn't help but feel it a little funny when he saw the dull look of the two. He seemed to have seen his former self. He was not a local, but from Xuzhou. When he first arrived in Taiping Mansion, he looked like Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang, and he was like a countryman entering the city. He revealed an uncomprehensible atmosphere everywhere.

The three of them were about to leave, and a voice came from behind, "Two military masters, two military masters, wait." Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang looked back and saw that this was the diner just now? The owner of the hardware store walked to Hu Yougang and said, "Two military masters, you should be on vacation when you look at you. If you don't dislike it, the hardware store of the villain is next to you. How about going to the villain's house to have a bowl of wine?" Hu Yougang and Zhang Fang looked at Wang Hui, and Wang Hui nodded and said, "Now you are free, I am just your guide. In this way, you can rest at this uncle's house at noon. We will go to the academy in the afternoon and take you home to have a look."

The owner of the hardware store is also a businessman, so he naturally has the ability to observe his words and expressions. He could hear it inside and outside. The person who spoke was their superior. He couldn't help but glance at Wang Hui's waist, the blue military card, my god, it's a general flag. No wonder he speaks so dignifiedly. Boss Zheng of the general flag doesn't want to think about it. Can others look down on him as a villain?

The owner of this hardware store is surnamed Zheng. He has a daughter at home. She is already nineteen and has not yet married. At that time, she was already a single young woman at the age of nineteen. Lao Zheng dreamed that she had found a good family to entrust her daughter to her. But he was just a small hardware store owner and had no strong assets. Although his daughter is a bit beautiful, it is very difficult to find a good condition. If you want to say that Lao Zheng is most satisfied with, he must be a new army officer, but senior officers are not something that they can see.

As I saw that the low-level officers didn’t have much chance to get in contact with them. The people who came to the store were basically soldiers, and the local Qingyi Army was very popular. Basically, the officers were booked by others, so how could they be my turn? Today is different. By chance, I met two new army officers from other places, which were still far away from Liaodong. And I was not very old, so I might not have married yet, so I would try my luck. If I were lucky, my daughter’s lifelong affairs would be settled.
