Chapter 432 What? The Qing Dynasty wants to go to war with Russia? (Please order, please vote)
The autumn wind has finally risen, dispelling the last trace of the scorching heat that shrouded the city of Beijing. Zhengyangmen Street has also become lively in the past few days. All the people coming and going are those Eight Banners disciples. Each one of them has given up his old skills.
He took it out and was busy buying winter clothes and hiring servants. Looking at this posture, he was preparing for a long trip to the far north.
These Eight Banners disciples were usually just caged birds, carefree masters, but now, every one of them has a sad face, like an eggplant beaten by frost. They no longer go to Yutai Tea House to hang out, and the birds no longer play.
, I don’t drink tea anymore, even the glory of my ancestors
I didn’t have time to brag about my achievements. After leaving Zhengyangmen, I went straight to the leather goods shops owned by several Shanxi businessmen. When I got there, I didn’t care whether the style was good-looking or not, and what the quality was like. As long as it could keep out the cold, it was like grabbing it.
Buy it quickly, for fear that you won't be able to buy it if it's too late.
Wang Lili, a waiter at Yutai Teahouse, was sitting on the threshold of the teahouse with his big teapot, staring directly at a time-honored shop selling leather goods opposite. The shop was very lively and the business was booming.
.king
Lili murmured in his heart: What is going on with these Eight Banners men? Could it be that they have changed their temperament and stopped playing with birds and drinking tea, and started playing with leather goods? Otherwise... I will also change my profession and sell leather goods, and maybe I can still do it.
I can make a fortune.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw an old man swaggering out of the Bada Hutong opposite. This old man was incredible. He was tall and well-dressed. He also held a bird cage in his hand and hummed.
Xiaoquer, go straight to Yutai Tea House.
This old man is none other than Zeng Jia. Guofan's cheap father, second-class bodyguard, and imperial guard Zeng Jia. Linshu. He is a frequent visitor to Yutai Tea House. Every time he finishes shopping in Bada Hutong, he has to come here to have a cup of tea.
, had some snacks, and became very familiar with Wang Li, the waiter. When he saw Wang Li sitting on the threshold, he said cheerfully: "Brother Wang, you are quite free. Are you waiting here for me to deliver business to you?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Oh, Master Zeng is here." Wang Li looked at the regular customers and quickly stood up to greet them.
At this time, Zeng Jia Linshu stopped and turned to look at the leather goods shop opposite. Wang Lili thought that the old man also wanted to buy leather goods, so he smiled and said: "Master Zeng, do you also want to buy leather goods?"
What do you think? I'm very familiar with some of the guys over there. How about I help you out and ask them to find a good one for you and deliver it directly to your house? What do you think?
"
"Hey, I don't need it." Zeng Jia Linshu sighed and said, "I'm not going to Heilongjiang to fight with the Rakshasa soldiers. Why do I need such a thick skin? I don't want to be wrapped up like a big rice dumpling.
"
"What? Fighting with Rakshasa soldiers?" When Wang Li heard this, his eyes widened in fright, "We haven't even finished fighting the hair yet, so why are we fighting Rakshasa soldiers again? Your Majesty's mind is spinning too fast.
Come on, what are you thinking?"
Zeng Jia Linshu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that we want to fight with the Rakshasa Kingdom, it's the Rakshasa Kingdom that is here to cause trouble for us. The Rakshasa people's fleet has all sailed to Heilongjiang, and they are still building forts on both sides of the river.
Well, more than half of Sakhalin Island is also occupied by them. The northeastern part of the country is the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty. Can the Emperor
Are you angry? After Long Yan was furious, together with the English and French guys, they kept wooing us to go against the Rakshasa Kingdom, so the emperor made up his mind to send the Eight Banners New Army to expedition to Heilongjiang. Think about it, Heilongjiang
, it’s so cold that it can freeze a person’s nose off, so why don’t you wear something thicker?”
After Wang Li heard this, he took a deep breath and asked smoothly: "Master Zeng, are you going to go too?"
"Where should I go?" Zeng Jia Linshu glared at Wang Li, "You kid, are you cursing me? I am a second-class bodyguard, walking in front of the emperor, and my task is to protect the emperor. What if I go
Well, those hairy 'angels' in the south sneaked into the Forbidden City with their divine spears and knocked the emperor to pieces, what should we do?"
"Yes, yes, the emperor can't live without your protection! Look at my mouth, it really deserves a beating!" Wang Li said as he pretended to give himself a slap in the face.
"Stop pretending!" Zeng Jia Linshu waved his hand and said, "Hurry and make me a pot of good tea and two drawers of steamed buns. I'm full and have to go to the garden to protect the emperor. I can't let the emperor have any
My son went missing."
"Okay! A pot of good tea, two drawers of steamed buns..."
Jin Aduo hung his head, carrying a big baggage, and wandered out of Longxing Leather Goods Store dejectedly. He glanced at the deserted Yutai Tea House opposite, sighed, and limped towards there.
Moved over.
Speaking of Jin Aduo, he is now the staff commander of the Left Association Forward Battalion in the First Town of the Eight Banners New Army. Under his command is the 800 infantrymen carrying foreign guns, 200 of whom are flag soldiers, and the rest are
Han people. This military officer is a military attaché of the third rank, and
And he, as the staff leader, is still leading the New Army Foreign Gun Team. The future is really bright. It looks like he will be promoted all the way. It is not a piece of cake to get into the first and second grades. If you are lucky, you might be able to make some money.
There is a feudal ministry and cabinet.
But who knows, this joy has not been heated up for a few days, and the emperor does not know which muscle is wrong. Suddenly, on a whim, he insists on fighting the Rakshasa Kingdom, and has to mobilize the Eight Banners New Army to go north to fight Lao Maozi. This matter
It's really life-threatening! Shouldn't the Eight Banners New Army go there?
Why did we attack the long-haired ones instead of attacking the old Maozi? The old Maozi invaded the Northeast and it was not a matter of a day or two. If we don’t fight early, we won’t fight until later. We chose to go to the Northern Expedition at a time when the internal problems have not been resolved.
, and they still have to use the Eight Banners New Army. Isn’t this annoying!
Jin Aduo felt so miserable in his heart that he couldn't help but sigh: "This is really going to cost me my life!" In the middle of winter, going to the ice and snow to fight with Lao Maozi outside the mouth, wouldn't it mean freezing to death? Think about it.
I feel cold all over.
However, Jin Aduo, who was in the army, had no choice but to smile bitterly, shake his head, and walk towards the Yutai Tea House opposite.
"Master Jin, please come inside!" Wang Li greeted with a smile on his face. "Is it still the same as before? A pot of good tea, a bowl of big meat noodles, and a drawer of steamed buns?"
After hearing this, Jin Aduo walked into the teahouse in a big way. He glanced around and saw that there were not many guests, but an old man was drinking tea and eating steamed buns there leisurely. He then found a seat by the window and sat down, which was good for Wang.
Said: "First, let's have a big bowl of meat noodles to cushion your belly!"
"Okay, here comes a big bowl of meat noodles!"
"Also," Jin Aduo saw Wang Li turning to leave and quickly stopped him, "Have you found the person you asked you to find last time?"
"We've found it, Mr. Jin." Wang Li replied with a smile.
"Then call someone over quickly and let me have a look."
"Okay, let's go now, please wait." Wang Li saluted happily to Jin Aduo, turned around and ran out of Yutai Tea House. When he reached the street outside Zhengyangmen, he trotted along the street, and then
As soon as I turned a corner, I entered an alley. In this alley was a bunch of beggars huddled in tattered coats. There were two people "lying down" at the entrance of the alley, almost out of breath.
Wang Li glanced at it casually, then shouted at the top of his lungs: "Xiao Duozi, Xiao Duozi, are you still there?"
"Here he is, here he is!" A skinny boy of thirteen or fourteen and a half years old emerged from the beggars. It was Zhao Sanduo. He ran to Wang Li like a gust of wind, "Brother Wang,
Are you looking for me?"
Wang Li waved to him and said: "Come with me quickly, Sanduo, you are lucky, Mr. Jin wants to hire you as his attendant."
"Oh, that's great. Thank you, Brother Wang, for cultivating me!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Sanduo was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He was about to kneel down to Wang Li.
"Don't say goodbye," Wang Li quickly waved his hand, "Let's go, I have something to say to you."
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
With that, he led Zhao Sanduo out of the alley and walked along Zhengyangmenwai Street towards Yutai Tea House. As he walked, he said to Zhao Sanduo: "Sanduo, I told you last time.
, Mr. Jin is a high-ranking official in the Eight Banners New Army. He is going to fight on the battlefield this time, so he has to hire a few officers to follow him. They will go to the battlefield together, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid!" Zhao Sanduo shook his head like a rattle, "I, Zhao Sanduo, have a low life and I'm not afraid of death!"
Wang Li asked again: "This time I am going to Heilongjiang to fight with Lao Maozi. Lao Maozi is a foreign devil. Are you afraid?"
"Foreign devils?" Zhao Sanduo gritted his teeth upon hearing this, "Don't be afraid! Foreign devils are so bad!"
"Haha?" Wang Li stopped and looked back at Zhao Sanduo, "Why did the foreign devils offend you?"
"Of course!" Zhao Sanduo's eyes were filled with hatred, "Because my father was addicted to opium, his good family was sucked away, and in the end he even lost his life... These foreign devils are so hateful!"
After hearing this, Wang Li nodded approvingly and said, "Okay, Lord Jin wants this from you! Come on, follow me to see Lord Jin!"
