Chapter 38: The thief's father-in-law

“Mr. Xu Junjian:

Rescue Gao Yi, no matter how long it is, he will forget it, save the danger and protect the orphans, and he will be remembered in his heart. When I am near Liaodong, I can be called a little calm, and my former subordinates will also gather a little. I can be called a quick success. The troops of Fengtian also look at it. I will repay the great hatred. What will happen in the future? I should be familiar with Lord Xu………”

Xu Yifan was wearing a short jacket, tilted to the head of the bed, lazily looking at Du Juan’s letter from her father, who was presenting her treasure. Du Juan carefully looked at his expression while pinching his legs and feet hard. Mr. Xu was honest and unceremonious and moaning, and he also pointed out from time to time: "Here, here, be taller, use some force, I struggle..."

How could the little girl not be nervous? Her father wrote a letter to make it clear that there was something big to ask Xu Yifan. If she didn't please her, who would please her? Sometimes the little girl would think about it herself. Needless to say, Li Xuan was a wealthy family standing behind her. Although she didn't deliberately make big in front of the two concubines in Xu Yifan's inner house, she could also notice the arrogance in her bones. This attitude towards dealing with people and things brought by her background cannot be hidden. Chen Erya... No, Chen Luoshi's little girl is also innocent, and she is an escort agency for Xu Yifan's sworn brother. But she is also carrying a horse thief dad on her back!

Xu Yifan also became an imperial envoy, a viscount, and his current title of Assistant Minister of War. He is still half the emperor of Korea, and his wealth is already very popular. My concubine's father is the leader of a horse thief. What's going on?

Du Juan sometimes thought guiltily that if she hadn't been born and died in Nanyang with Xu Yifan, she wouldn't be on par with Chen Luoshi? Thanks to Luoshi's face this time, he gave up most of the opportunity to get along with Xu Yifan when he came to North Korea so that she could swirl and beat her in front of Xu Yifan...

The word "Dujuan" is not very clear. She read the letter secretly brought by the Dashengkui caravan for a long time. There were too many new words that could not be read. Now that Xu Yifan was reading it, he was just guessing that what was the letter written in her father who insisted on being a horse thief?

Du Juan didn't understand, but Xu Yifan understood. The letter was written in Wen Zuo. It was definitely not written by Du Qilin, and maybe it was done by the old sarcastic Master Jiang. It was written in a bit humble and arrogant manner, and it was very literary.

To put it bluntly, that's what it means.

Xu Yifan saved Du Qilin's life and wanted to take in Du Qilin's only blood, such as Du Juan. They will never forget this kindness! They have taken root in Liaodong and established a name for themselves. After the horse thieves who followed the prairie along the grassland were disbanded, they began to gather under the new pole again. The ground of Guandong has their status! They will go around and enjoy their grudges, and according to the skills of these old horse thieves, they will be self-contained.

However, they made a name for themselves. The Qing garrison in Fengtian area had already set their sights on them again, and maybe there would be conflicts. It seemed that there was trouble again... The reason why they left Xu Yifan was that Xu Yifan was not very powerful at the time and could not solve the problem of these horse thieves. The second was that they betrayed Du Qilin's Liaodong big frame pole, and the grudges in the world were picked up by Du Qilin, and they became half-waste people. They had to avenge whatever they said!

Now that the revenge has been avenged, I don’t know how many bloody revenge there are behind the scenes, so there is no need to ask about these. They have already had their wishes, and they are also afraid of the life of this horse thief after suffering a disaster. Xu Yifan is even more at the peak of his life. Du Juan is his concubine, and now I want to ask him to give him a way out!

In fact, Xu Yifan's control over these horse thieves had set up chess pieces from the beginning. He asked Da Shengkui and the others to secretly use Da Shengkui's trade route in Liaodong to provide them with weapons supplies and even money, and also provided information about other competitors' opponents. If Xu Yifan hadn't been so concerned about the support, would they have made a name in Liaodong so quickly and defeated their enemies' poles?

Since I have never gotten rid of Xu Yifan's shadow, it is natural to look for Xu Yifan again now.

These are things that little girl Du Juan cannot understand.

The handwriting of Mr. Jiang was suspected to have disappeared soon, but there were large walnut-like characters below, which were crooked. However, it was Du Qilin's words. This was the father-in-law's son-in-law and could not be written by outsiders. Each word was extremely heavy. You can imagine Du Qilin, the thief leader, gritted his teeth when he wrote a letter and used all his strength to fight against paper and pen.

"………………Mr. Xu (Du Dama knew that he could not call Xu Yifan a son-in-law directly), Juanzi? You are a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and I believe you will not treat her badly. The more you become your official, Juanzi is a wild girl, I am afraid she is a little unworthy. Thinking about it now, you can only work hard to repay your kindness to our family. Juanzi stays at your house more peacefully. I am the only one who fights with this mind, and Master Jiang is also enough in the world. But now we have many brothers under our command, and we have seen the methods of recruiting officers and soldiers. Few men in the world have a good end. I can't leave my brothers behind. If you have the will, it's best to come here in person. The lives of hundreds of brothers will be sold to the adults in the future, and we can all have a good ending..."

The many white words made Xu Yifan grit his teeth even when he read the letter. Du Juan kept peeking at his expression, and when Xu Yifan grinned, his heart was also very up and down.

Horse thieves, horse thieves... Humph, they are all seeds of cavalry establishment! Although with the development of modern firearms, the king of the battlefield is undoubtedly modern infantry. However, in the upcoming Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, in this specific battlefield environment, a large number of fierce light cavalry controls the battlefield, collects intelligence, and harassment of the enemy's rear are still indispensable! Even though he expanded his imperial guard infantry to the two towns as he wished, the battlefield he wanted to control was so large that these infantry alone were still far from enough.

Even in the later Russo-Japanese War in history, both Japan and Russia searched and organized a large number of Northeast horse thieves, cavalry and bandits, forming a cavalry team under different banners to collect military information and destroy each other's supply, which played a great role. Many horse thieves also received Japanese medals and won the title of Russia! Such a ridiculous thing really makes people laugh even if they want to laugh.

The most important thing is not this. The Japanese ronin intelligence personnel have been active in Northeast Korea for a long time and have spent a lot of effort. Many Japanese spies have long been involved in the horse thieves, and as Chinese people, they have mastered the big and small poles. In China and North Korea, there are many. In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, these horse thieves were active in the rear of the Qing army, which gave the Japanese a lot of strength. Haicheng counterattacked and the main forces of the Qing Dynasty were sometimes harassed so much that they could not be held!

Xu Yifan didn't want to encounter such a situation. The matter behind him had to be clarified first. The action to eliminate horse thieves was also a good target for training troops. With such a new cavalry team familiar with the inside story, training would be more effective with half the effort.

To say a thousand words, ten thousand, the final analysis is that his father-in-law's team, although he played casual chess at the beginning, Leng Zier, who was cloth, still has to take it. Even if he really had to take the risk of taking that trip in person!

Du Juan, who had been nervous, could no longer help but ask in a trembling voice: "Master...my father, what did my father say in his letter?"

Xu Yifan's eyes rolled and he immediately sighed: "Your father has set his sights on the Northeast government troops! I'm writing a letter to ask for help, I'll look at it..."

Du Juan's big eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she stared at Xu Yifan blankly. She saw the tragic situation of his father falling into the hands of the government, and she sneaked into Beijing to ask Xu Yifan, a person she had never known. At that time, her heart was like cooking oil. Now she sometimes woke up from her dream, and she still felt like something had just happened!

Her eyes turned dark, but in a blink of an eye she remembered the biggest support in front of her. She didn't understand how old Xu Yifan Guan'er was. But tens of thousands of people are now following him, and they can kill North Korea with a command. Now, who else can they ask him?

Du Juan's voice suddenly became watery. If there was a tail behind her back, she would probably be very happy. Poor, she raised her face and looked at Xu Yifan: "Master...Master...You are the most capable. Raise your hand, can you save my father? I am just such a father... I heard from people in the house that the King of North Korea nodded and bowed when he saw you. I will no longer say bad things about Miss Li, nor will I be angry with Sister Luo Shi, nor will I compete for the monthly money..."

Oh? I have been training and leading troops outside to deal with the crisis. I didn't expect that my inner house was still so wonderful? Thinking that Chen Luoshi and Du Juan, two young girls who were not old, gathered together and were jealous of Li Xuan. Maybe he would argue more and less for the monthly routine, so Xu Yifan couldn't help but raise his lips. Li Xuan came over with a lot of people, and the expenses were also high. Xu Yifan didn't want Li Xuan to be his and still use the Li family's money. With a big buck, Li Xuan was 800 taels a month, which was not enough. He asked Zhang Yu for money and tickets. His money and tickets were distributed in tens of thousands of taels a month. He lived a simple life and could not finish it. Du Juan and Luo Shi were still pitiful twenty taels now. No wonder the two little girls were unhappy.

He quickly coughed and continued to tease Du Juan: "...It's so difficult... I'll tell you the truth. I'm just the Minister of the Imperial Guards. How can I care about the matters in the Northeast? Now Seoul is about to be stuck, and the mud Buddha crosses the river..."

Du Juan covered Xu Yifan's mouth, and the water in his eyes was covered with mist. Xu Yifan was not allowed to say the second half of the sentence that he could not protect himself.

"Master, you are our god. I know that you can't make things difficult for the master. We can't help with your affairs, and we can't let Dad trouble you anymore. As a daughter, you can't watch something happen to my father. I beg you to let me go back to my parents' house. I can have a fist and gun to see who can do what my father will do! ............If I can't come back, please leave me a tablet for me in the Xu family's ancestral hall. I won't be in vain in the Xu family..."

As he said that, Du Juan slowly stood up and bowed to Xu Yifan with red eyes.

It’s really a shame to tease this honest little girl… Xu Yifan felt ashamed and quickly supported her. Du Juan’s pure filial piety also moved him.

"No, no matter how difficult it is, I can ignore my father-in-law. Don't worry, why don't you give me a safe father?" Xu Yifan's voice softly, holding Du Juan's little hand, listening to his soft words to comfort him, Du Juan's tears had already fallen down, and his red eyes pounced on Xu Yifan's arms, sobbing and unable to speak.

Xu Yifan touched her face and smiled evilly again: "Next time, let you and Luo Shi be together, don't hide..." Before he finished his obscene words, he heard a light sound outside the door, and then Zhang Yu's reverberation voice came: "Sir, there is already news about what you are looking for..."

tmd, just as he was thinking about promiscuous during the day, things came to him again!

Incheon Outer Port, this small port at the waist of North Korea, is not yet the world-famous sensation that later generations have become famous for their world-renowned entry. It is just a desolate and dilapidated port. The channel into the port is narrow and the water depth is not enough. The Huai Army soldiers carried on the ship first went down to the dock of Bailong Island, and then transferred to Incheon by wooden boat.

There were shouting and chaotic voices everywhere, and the soldiers were slow to move and resentful. There were everything unloaded from the ship, including officers' sedan chairs, smoke beds, saliva, and even bird cages. The soldiers were carrying them. Their weapons were tied up and tied up by the soldiers and soldiers. They were all complaining. The officers came over and some were addicted to smoking. Find a place to avoid people a little, and then turn on the lights and bulbs. The soldiers were uncontrollable, so the order became more and more chaotic.

It was in chaos, and since the beginning of dawn, there were not many Shengjun soldiers who had landed on Incheon now.

The name of the Huai Army has been in its power for twenty years. The old-fashioned and capable generals and intermediate officers have long been lost. Just about equipment, it is not outdated. However, this deep evening atmosphere has long been covered by layers. The prosperous army has been stationed in the prosperous capital of the capital for so many years, besides receiving and sending mist, smoking and holding children, what else do you know?

The military regulations have long been no longer under control. There are not necessarily a few times in a month when they are out of the line. The only thing that can be called military training is the 38th start. According to the law, every time the start is ten live ammunition shots. However, each soldier cannot shoot two or three rounds, because after each start, officers specially purchase bullets from the grain station and directly send them to the soldiers! No one knows where these bullets later went.

The life of soldiers was also extremely hard. After years of peace, they reduced their salary several times. Now they are three or three cents of black and mixed money in Songjiang Ping. They also have to deduct food, clothing and public expenses, and only a little silver left when they get it. The salary is small, although it is called Jianjun, so they can only find some other livelihoods. The Huai Army, which once wiped out the world, now has foreign guns and cannons, and in terms of quality, they are also with the elder brother of the Green Camp.

In order to arrive in Seoul as soon as possible, Sheng Jun chose Incheon Shanglu. However, with this military quality, it was a complicated operation for a well-trained army after transferring twice. Sheng Jun made such a mess, which was a slight slightest.

Outside the sea of ​​Bailong Island, the main fleet of the Beiyang Navy was still patrolling, escorting Sheng Jun to land. More than a dozen iron-armored warships were cruising long and black smoke, cruising on the sea in circles, stirring up white waves. The sun shadows went from east to west until the moving figures standing on the fly bridge pulled out long shadows.

Ding Ruchang never returned to his official cabin on the fly bridge, but just looked at the messy scenes on the small seas from Bailong Island to Incheon Port, and the smoky and smoky on Bailong Island.

I don’t know how long it took, but Ding Ruchang sighed softly: “Is this… possible to fight? Can I fight?”

Liu Buchan, who was standing beside him, accompanied the Admiral Junmen, and did not dare to leave. He heard this and just smiled awkwardly. The Lord Zhongtang didn't care about this. What's the matter? Ding Junmen, what's the matter? Just say that the Beiyang Navy is better than the Lu Army, but since Lang Weili went there, he was so angry that he was no longer decent.

Ding Ruchang looked at it with a telescope and pointed to a large tent set up on Bailong Island. There were still many Goshkar outside the tent. He protected the central army tent with the admiral's flag hanging as if facing a great enemy.

Ye Zhi went to the island with a superb voice. He could no longer hold on for a short transfer, and he also settled the central army tent. The Beiyang Navy looked at his property. He had a complete bed, even a screen and tapestries. He had dozens of gold, silver, jade, ivory, and smoke guns. The Goshhas held the Indian horseshoe soil in the jar like a phoenix. After so much hard work, Ye Junmen Fengtao immediately entered the central army tent and quickly got satisfied. He couldn't care about military affairs. Just this, why should he talk about pushing Seoul quickly and forcing Xu Yifan away?

Behind Ding Ruchang, another voice sounded, like a striking iron and stone, with a clanging tone.

"What else are you talking about whether to fight or not? If you can protect yourself, it will be a great blessing. If you want to be powerful in the Zhongtang Sect, you may have the intention of provoking Japan, but it will add to the striking intentions of the Easterners!"

Of course, Deng Shichang was the one who spoke, and he also stood here with Ding Ruchang motionlessly for a long time. He held the telescope and watched for a longer time than Ding Ruchang. His expression was twice as heavy as it was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.

Ding Ruchang could hear these words, which was exactly what he was thinking, so he stood there, pretending that he didn't hear them, and didn't say a word of scolding.

Deng Shichang kept talking coldly: "Even our navy is not much better than them! Several times we went abroad to Japan, and at that time, the Japanese shipyards were working, repairing or building. Our navy dock iron factory has been deserted after a few years! Even the Zhongtang thought that there would be no war this time, and that we would scare the Eastern people! The dispatch has been inappropriate, and we still have to drive away the troops of Lord Xu, who has already established his authority in North Korea......"

Ding Ruchang suddenly turned around: "Stop talking!"

Liu Buchan quickly grabbed Deng Shichang. His cheek bones were bitten tightly, thrusting one after another, and his stubbornness was just not moving.

"Deng Shichang! Don't think you are the only one who understands it! Don't think that Xu Yifan is the mainstay! I'm really wrong to bring you here this time!"

Ding Ruchang's face turned ashen, he waved his hand suddenly and walked down the flying bridge with big strides. Liu Buchan glared at Deng Shichang, sighed, and followed him. On the flying bridge, only Deng Shichang stood there, without saying anything for a long time. The deep sad expression was only in his eyes.

"Sir, North Korea has 20,000 taels of gold, and it has been shipped, with more than one million taels of silver. It can be loaded into the car and packed at night tomorrow and shipped north. The Master brought by Pyongyang is not enough, so we recruited some in Seoul... Sheng Jun came and watched and cried..."

Chu Wanli stood in front of Xu Yifan and gave him a smile. These days, the Imperial Guards' practices can be described in one sentence, which is that I am shameless. The new officials from North Korea can only be seen with their eyes. They dare not give up half of the fart. Xu Yifan's military parade in front of Jingfu Palace really scared many people.

Xu Yifan nodded. These subordinates were really effective in stealing things. He pondered for a moment, but whispered to another thing: "Wanli, do you know Nan Yunzhi?"

Chu Wanli was stunned, and his mind was filled with a crackling sound: "General of the Right Xu Guard who was forbidden from the Korean Palace? When the chaos broke out, the one who was killed by the Japanese at the gate of the palace?"

Xu Yifan nodded slowly and breathed a sigh of relief: "The pair of girls Park Yonghyo gave me surname Nan, and is the daughter of Nam Yunzhi. Nam Yunzhi is in charge of the palace, and his twin daughters also grew up in the palace. Queen Min Seung-hwan. In order to please me, Park Yonghyo and Queen Min of Lee gave me the daughter of this loyal minister......"

"Beast!" Chu Wanli subconsciously cursed, thinking. Although Park Yongxiao and the others were ridiculous, Xu Yifan, who was also a pair of Korean twin loli, was also...

Xu Yifan didn't think so much, and then cursed a few words: "Beasts are worse than beasts!" The two little girls told Li Xuan about his life experience, and then returned it through Zhang Yu. The reaction he knew was the same as Chu Wanli. But he didn't expect that his reputation as the lolita control caused others. However, this also seems to be a lack of articles to do...

He then whispered: "You go and check, how many old party members of the Dayuanjun system have been left behind in this coup? I'm useful to find out whether this pair of little girls surnamed Nan and whether they have any relatives."

Chu Wanli's eyes rolled and agreed with a smile. Xu Yifan frowned again: "By the way, in addition to gold, silver and antiques, there are still a few warehouses for the production of money in the Korean warehouse? They are all fucking transported away for me, so Mao should not leave one for Ye Zhichao."

Chu Wanli was stunned. Ye Zhichao's army went to land and had already heard. However, according to the reward, their speed of landing had become a joke for the Imperial Guards. When they arrived, all the valuables had been transported. Unexpectedly, Lord Xu did not even let go of the money! If he transported these things, he would have to wait until Shengjun entered Seoul.

"Sir, do you have to meet Sheng Jun?"

Xu Yifan said fiercely with his hands behind his back: "A good person is bullied, and Ma Shan is ridden... I insist on fighting to the end of this kind of spirit! I really thought that Xu Yifan was letting others beat him? I just wanted to let Li Hongzhang understand a little!"
Chapter completed!
