Chapter 112 Provocation
After initially understanding Zhang Rong's psychology, Zhao Fuxiang no longer spoke ill of the Zhang family, but instead persuaded Zhang Rong to drink, and at the same time asked about the situation in Haikou.
Unlike other inland garrison posts, the Qiongzhou local garrison post has to suppress Yi rebellions from time to time, so the local garrison post still has some combat effectiveness, such as the Haikou garrison post.
According to the court system, a thousand households like Haikou had 1,120 soldiers, and two hundred households were under its jurisdiction. Of course, this was the military system in the early Ming Dynasty. After more than 200 years of multiplication, Haikou had a total of 3,200 military households under its jurisdiction.
Fifty-six households, with a population of 8,435 and a population of 3,968. In terms of population, it is definitely the largest thousand-household station in Hainan Guard except Yazhou Station.
Of course, most of the eight or nine thousand military households have transformed into farmers, and their lives are even harder than those of farmers, because in addition to farming land to pay rent to thousands of households, they also have to provide people and food to fight for the court, so Ming Ming
In the late dynasty, a large number of military households fled from various military posts across the country.
The Haikou Institute is no exception. Less than one-third of the more than 3,000 registered households are left, and only about 800 of the more than 3,000 soldiers are left. Therefore, the Haikou Institute cannot avoid changing from the conscription system to
Established the recruitment system.
The main combat force of the Haikou Institute is the 200 servants under Lord Qianhu. They are well fed and paid a lot of money. They are completely private soldiers of Qianhu. Naturally, they fight bravely to take the lead in battles and have extremely strong combat effectiveness.
If the imperial court recruits Hainan Guard military households for war, these two hundred servants will become the main body. Together with a varying number of cannon fodder military households, a team with considerable combat effectiveness will be formed. The servants will be responsible for fighting, and those soldiers will
The household is responsible for transportation, which is the basic composition of Haikou Institute.
Thinking of his own origin, Zhang Rong felt depressed and gradually drank too much. Zhao Fuxiang saw this opportunity and asked: "General Zhang, among the two hundred households in Haikou, who else besides you?"
Mentioning this matter, Zhang Rong cursed: "Damn it, the other Baihu is my arch-rival Ying Wenli. This bastard sleeps with Lao Qianhu for a few days, and then rides on me when he returns to Haikou.
If you shit on your head, sooner or later I will kill this guy!"
Zhao Fuxiang didn't expect that bad old man Zhang Guozheng to be very good at playing, so he quickly asked what was going on. It turned out that in ancient Chinese armies, it was strictly forbidden to carry female relatives, but a bunch of old men always wanted to vent their anger, so some sergeants with good looks and good looks became chief officers.
As for the personal soldiers, you know what they do! Zuo Liangyu, the great warlord who occupied Huguang during the Southern Ming Dynasty, is said to be the personal soldier of Hou Xun, the Minister of War. There are some ulterior secrets between the two!
"General Zhang, do you feel something strange about the pirate attack this time? I have interrogated a few pirates and heard that they are from Yong'an Prefecture, Guangxi, which is more than a thousand miles away from here. I'm afraid I won't be able to find this place without the guidance of an acquaintance.
!”
Zhang Rong laughed after hearing this: "Brother Zhao, you are good to my father and my brother, Zhang Rong knows it, so Zhang Rong has a heartfelt message for you today, be careful of Zhang Qianhu!"
When Zhao Fuxiang heard that there was an opportunity, he asked: "General Zhang, if Zhang Qianhu suddenly commits an offense and dies, can you inherit Qianhu's position?"
The Ming Dynasty's guard system is somewhat like the professional titles of later generations. Although you are hereditary, you can only receive a free salary if there are no vacancies. This is similar to the institutions of later generations. There are a lot of deputy subjects and main subjects in the unit, but the real
There are only a few leadership positions, and others are euphemistically called chief clerks.
Zhang Rong inherited his father-in-law's hereditary position of 100 households, but he still had to

The commander was appointed by the Yamen. This was also the reason why he was at odds with another Baihu. Ying Wenli, a Baihu, was only a trial Baihu, but because of his close relationship with the old Qianhu Zhang Guozheng, he was able to command the Zhang family's two hundred servants.
Half of them, Zhang Rong, although he is known as the second person in Haikou, he only has ten close servants.
Zhang Rong was stunned after hearing this. After a while, he yawned and said: "Brother Zhao, you see that I drank too much this time. Let's call it a day! I'm leaving!"
Although Zhang Rong didn't agree, his attitude was already very obvious, that is, I don't care, Zhao Fuxiang is the one who said everything. If you can do it, I may help you, but if you can't, I will treat it as nothing.
This is happening!
Zhao Fuxiang is also a good man. Hearing what Zhang Rong said, he smiled, got up and walked out with Zhang Rong, and said goodbye to Zhang Rong.
Now that Zhang Rong has made sense, all he needs to do is command Mao Jiao. As long as Mao Jiao is willing to nod, Haikou Station will become his own private territory.
After sending Zhang Rong away, Zhao Fuxiang went to see Mao Shaohong immediately. Of course, he did not care about Mao Shaohong. This boy was not Zhao Fuxiang's illegitimate son. Zhao Fuxiang did not care about his life or death. But if Mao Shaohong was not convinced,
It would be extremely difficult to get Mao Jiao to help him. After all, Zhao Fuxiang deceived Mao Jiao and abducted his precious only son to Haidian Island, and almost gave him a nickname. If Mao Shaohong did not forgive him, Mao Jiao would definitely
You won't do yourself any favors.
Zhao Fuxiang came to the temporary hospital outside and saw that Mao Shaohong's bed was empty. Zhao Fuxiang was so frightened that he was sweating. If this kid died, it would be difficult.
Zhao Fuxiang quickly found his goddaughter Zhao Jing and asked: "Zhao Jing, where did Mao Shaohong go?"
Zhao Jing saluted Zhao Fuxiang, and then said calmly: "Reporting to the master, Master Mao has woken up in the afternoon, and has been transferred to the guest room in the mansion by his wife!"
After hearing that Mao Shaohong was fine, Zhao Fuxiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurried into the house to look for Mao Shaohong in the guest room. When he arrived in the guest room, he happened to see Mao Shaohong lying on the bed and staring at the beams in a daze.
At this time, although Mao Shaohong's face was still white, his eyes were bright, so he should be fine.
Zhao Fuxiang stood at the door and coughed, then walked into the house and said with a smile: "Nephew Mao, how are you? Is your leg injury healed?"
Hearing the sound at the door, Mao Shaohong saw that it was Zhao Fuxiang who was coming. He quickly sat up straight and said, "Uncle Zhao, I have an injury on my leg. I can't salute my uncle. Please forgive me!"
Zhao Fuxiang laughed, walked into the room and sat next to Mao Shaohong, and said with a smile: "Why are you and I so polite?" After saying that, Zhao Fuxiang pretended to lift the gauze on Mao Shaohong's leg and looked at the wound.
Now the leg injury no longer bleeds pus, and the wound has scabbed. It seems that the home-made penicillin that Sun Jing made is still useful!
"Okay, as long as everything is fine! My nephew, I will rest for half a month. When the wound heals, my uncle will send you back on his own. It is really my uncle's fault that you were brought to Haidian Island this time!"
Mentioning this matter, Mao Shaohong lowered his head and stopped talking. Zhao Fuxiang thought that this kid was angry with him, but it was understandable. He originally went to study, but you abducted him and sent him to the military camp to serve as a soldier for two months.
He is still injured and almost died. This is because Mao Shaohong is a scholar with high quality. If it were Zhao Heng who was abducted and used as a soldier for two months, Zhao Fuxiang would have wanted to kill him.
Zhao Fuxiang smiled awkwardly and said: "My dear nephew, my uncle also has his own difficulties! Look at the broken mountains and rivers, what has become of the country? At this time, a scholar like you
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It’s time to write and join the army. The country is not lacking in scholars now, but it is lacking in soldiers who are willing to throw their heads and blood! An ancient poem goes: Generously sing about the city of Yan, calmly be a prisoner of Chu.
You can make a fortune quickly and live up to your youth! Uncle hopes that you will not be a nerd who studies. It is better to go out and do something big in these troubled times than to wait for death and be a worm!"
Zhao Fuxiang quoted the traitor Wang Jingwei's arrest and confession - generous chapter, the whole article is:
Holding a stone in your hand will lead to madness, and you will be filled with sorrow over the waves.
Flying alone is never tired, and I am ashamed to chase the seagulls floating.
The brilliant red color is difficult to render.
His hair was gray and stained with blood.
He sang generously to Yan City and calmly served as a prisoner of Chu.
Lead the sword to become a quick success, and live up to the youth's head.
Keep your heart and soul, but your body will be ashes.
The green phosphorescence is immortal and shines on Yantai every night.
This is a famous line written by Wang Jingwei in prison after he failed to assassinate the regent Zaifeng in Beijing and was sentenced to death by execution by the Qing government. Although Wang Jingwei later became a traitor, this poem remained unchanged at that time.
When he was released, he immediately became a national sensation. Lian Zaifeng was reluctant to kill him and instead let Wang Jingwei go.
Mao Shaohong's body trembled after hearing the famous sentence, and he murmured: "You can achieve success with a sword, and you will live up to your youth! Uncle, when my nephew first arrived in the army, he did have some resentment towards his uncle and Brother Zhao, but after this time
After a bloody battle with pirates, my nephew discovered that his personal abilities were useless in front of firearms. What would happen if he was successful in the imperial examination and became a Jinshi? Can he dodge firearms? Also, my nephew heard that this time it was Brother Zhao who was the nephew.
Only with blood transfusion can my nephew come back to life. Since Brother Zhao saved my nephew's life, from now on, my nephew will follow Brother Zhao for the rest of his life to repay this life-saving grace!"
"After more than two months of lessons that Brother Zhao has given to my nephew, and the close contact with my brothers in the army, I feel that what my uncle just said is right. What can save this country now is not scholars, but iron and fire.
It’s us soldiers! Only by suppressing all those reactionaries can the country and people usher in a better life, and the Chinese Empire usher in the second prosperous age of Han and Tang Dynasties!"
When Zhao Fuxiang listened to Mao Shaohong's speech, he cursed in his heart: Why did the reactionaries come out after what his son was taught? Isn't the brainwashing a bit too much? But that's okay, this kid was brainwashed by Zhao Heng.
He saved the fool and saved himself the step of persuasion, so Zhao Fuxiang said directly: "Okay! What my nephew said is great! In this case, my uncle will not hide it from you. My uncle is going to find your father. This time the pirate is from Haikou.
It was brought by Zhang Qianhu. We have suffered a loss and naturally want to get it back. Your comrade who was killed in a blood feud will naturally get it back a hundred times. Can you please ask your nephew to write a letter to the commander and ask the commander to help us?
Deal with Zhang Qianhu?"
When he heard that the pirates brought by Zhang Qianhu almost cost him his life, Mao Shaohong was naturally very angry. He picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote a family letter to his father Mao Jiao, telling him about joining the army on Haidian Island.
While talking, he specifically confessed that he was seriously injured and it was Brother Zhao Heng who saved him with a blood transfusion. He also said that this pirate attack was all Zhang Qianhu’s fault, and asked his father to please do it for his own sake.
revenge!
Zhao Fuxiang was very happy when he received the letter. Now that he had an autographed letter from Mao Jiao's son, the Zhang family, a thousand-family family, had reached its end!
Zhao Fuxiang comforted Mao Shaohong and told him to rest well and leave the matter of revenge to him. After saying this, Zhao Fuxiang happily returned to Fucheng overnight with the letter, preparing to visit Mao Jiao early tomorrow morning.
