Chapter 1 Flower City(1/2)
"Bang bang bang" The galloping Hussars radiated a little bit of blue smoke, and the wolves and pigs fled desperately burst out bright red on their bodies and slowly fell down.
On the ground, there were corpses of the name of the charlatan, and not far away, a village was rushing into the sky, and the crying was soaring.
This is the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi. The flag guards have just wiped out a group of gangs who ransacked the village.
Luo Amei looked at this scene in surprise and couldn't stop talking for a long time.
After the young powerful man had a cold face, his personal army rushed out like lightning, and in less than a cup of tea, he killed more than a hundred violent groups. He was truly as motionless as a mountain and as thunder.
Although he had been through the battle for a long time, Luo Amei was still forced by her fierce and fierce momentum for a long time and her heart was still pounding. Her face changed even more. Looking at the young powerful man, is this the future opponent of the Virgin Mary?
Although I firmly believe that the Empress is invincible and candid in the night, this little Tartar really makes me feel a little chill in my heart.
The horn sounded, and the guards slowly stopped.
"Okay! The prince's personal army is indeed extraordinary. It's only a matter of being able to pacify Guilin and eliminate the thief party!" Another cavalry came on, Gao Youba flattered loudly.
Ye Zhaoyang pointed to the woods not far away, "Go there to take a break, everyone is exhausted these days."
In the green forest dunes, next to the dunes is a clear stream. However, several guards rolled up their legs and fished in the stream. Their master has not seen any meat and fish since yesterday. What's so?
Ye Zhao leaned against a thin birch tree, took out the last cigar, lit it, and took a deep breath.
It was almost time to reach Guangdong, and the British occupied Guangzhou for more than half a year. How can they withdraw from Guangzhou City with the greatest interests? It is really a difficult problem!
After looking at Luo Amei who was secretly glancing at her, Ye Zhao waved to her and said, "Come here." After a few days of getting along, Ye Zhao knew that she was a smart woman. She was worried about it, and she didn't know what she wanted to do to her.
When he left Xiangyang City, Ye Zhao brought her and Gao Youba with him and recruited several horses, so Xiangyang Prefecture naturally had no objection.
In the first day or two, just when Luo Amei was untied, Luo Amei wanted to take the opportunity to kill Gao Youba. The first night he held up a stone and tried to kill him, but was captured by his personal guards.
She has been much more peaceful these two days, but how could she really stop killing Gao Gao? She is just waiting for the opportunity.
"You are also smoking elegant films?" Luo Amei was extremely surprised and even more happy when she saw Ye Zhao spitting out mist. She thought that this young powerful man was different from those dog officials, but she could see along the way that he was greedy for enjoyment. Now, she smoked big smoke. So, it would be more difficult to deal with as imagined. Without the will to remove the addiction to smoking, what kind of amazing commander can he be?
Ye Zhao smiled slightly, squirted out a cigarette, and said, "This is called a cigar. It is different from opium. This thing is a good thing, which can make people clear-headed and quick-thinking."
Luo Amei was disappointed. So that's it, why is he not addicted to smoking?
"Master, the young one, the young one has something to say." Gao Youba was far away, looking servile.
Ye Zhao made a gesture, and the personal guard let him go.
"Girl." Gao Youba smiled at Luo Amei with a slut. Seeing that Luo Amei could not do anything to him, he was unconscious of lust. Especially when Luo Amei hit him with a stone that night, somehow, when Luo Amei struggled and trembling when she was tied up by the guards, his heart suddenly became hot. That scene had a fatal attraction to him. Perhaps in later generations, he belonged to the group of people who were bound to control him.
When the two pretended to be fake couple, Gao Youba once fantasized about how to make fake and real. Now that Luo Amei is a fish on the chopping table, he is even more imaginative.
Sister Luo glared at her.
Gao Youba then took a few steps, knelt in front of Ye Zhao, and raised his hands to present a few pages of paper. I don’t know when he wrote it.
"Mr. Master, the young one has three strategies to defeat the Guangxi thief party, and offer it to Mr. Master!"
"Oh?" Ye Zhao took it and said with a smile: "I can't tell, you can read more."
Gao Youba kowtowed and said, "I was originally a scholarly family. When I was young, I went to a private school and was swept by the thief army. I had no choice but to join the thief."
Ye Zhao turned a few pages, but in fact, with his high knowledge, how can he help Ye Zhao? The Chinese Heavenly Kingdom was inspired by Ye Zhao. If you want to talk about how to wipe out rural bases, how to suppress and pacify the revolution of dividing and dividing the gentry to fight for power, there is no more Ye Zhao in the world. After all, this was once a heavy hand in history, and the lessons learned from success or failure are recorded in later history books in extremely detailed history.
Looking through the paper, Ye Zhao's face remained silent and said, "It's clear that you are doing your best. You don't know how to appreciate you."
Gao Youba kowtowed a few times and said gratefully: "As long as you can follow your grandfather and listen to your grandfather's teachings at all times, it will be your grandfather's supreme reward." But he was thinking in his heart, how could he think of a way to make the grandfather give Luo Amei as his wife?
Ye Zhao smiled slightly: "I dare not follow me. That's Xiao Qizhe, who is like your brothers and sisters. You can still dismember the corpse of the chaotic blade, let alone me?"
Gao Youba's face changed and he felt even more frightened. He didn't know what the prince suddenly mentioned this matter, but kowtowed and said tremblingly: "Everyone can kill him. The young one is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. But, unlike the prince, even if the young one has great courage, he will not dare to harm the prince."
Ye Zhao said lightly: "A person is harmless and tiger is heartless and tiger is hurtful. You can't call it a tiger, but you are just ungrateful."
Gao Youba was shocked and didn't know how to answer.
Ye Zhao said to Bakshnut: "Cut it!"
"Puff!" A cold light flashed, Gao Youba didn't even hum, his neck fell into the sand, his head rolled down, he jumped a few times on the ground, and rolled to Luo Amei's feet. The blood quickly covered the yellow sand.
Luo Amei was stunned. She didn't react from beginning to end. This, a despicable villain who made her wish she could eat her flesh, was inexplicably chopped off her head.
Ye Zhao turned his head to look at Luo Amei and said calmly: "Let you have a way out and bring you a word to Su Hongniang. I will wait for her to come! Tell her that one day, I will become a prisoner under my rank!" As he spoke, others could not hear anything. Bakesh even felt a sense of heroism, waiting to fight with Su Hongniang, the shocking thief, and captured her and presented it to his master.
But Ye Zhao himself felt a sway in his heart, imagining the matchmaker's charming and boneless body being imprisoned in his room, and the erotic scene of begging him to spare her sorrowful, he couldn't help but jump a few times. Then he was embarrassed, what were he thinking?
"You, do you want to let me go?" Luo Amei opened her eyes wide and looked at Ye Zhao in disbelief.
Ye Zhao said with a sigh: "Killing you is like killing a chicken, the thieves in Guangxi, the native chickens and dogs, Guilin and Wuzhou, I take it like taking something out of my pocket!"
Luo Amei did not refute, looked at Ye Zhao deeply, then turned over. Now there is no need for a fight of intention. The Tartars have come to suppress the two Guangdong areas, but she wants to save her life. General information about the emperor, beware of the precautions.
Seeing Luo Amei gradually turning into black spots, Ye Zhao turned to Bakesh and smiled, "Tell me, how about capturing Su Hongniang to be a side room for me?"
Baksh was shocked and thought that this was not a joke, but the master had always thoughts and could do everything. He might not be joking with him. Maybe he really had this idea.
However, this matter has to be discussed for a long time. It is a first-class thief. Not to mention that staying by his master will always harm his master's life, but it is not in line with emotion, reason or law. If the master does this, he will definitely end up being expelled from the royal family. However, he has to find a fake Mrs. Su who beheads his head, and Allah will leave it to his master, so that no trace of the wind cannot be revealed.
Ye Zhao didn't know that his casual words hurt Bakesh, so he thought about how to cover up the master's afterwards if what his master said came true. He didn't sleep well for several nights in a row, and even had a secret discussion with Suna.
Huaxian is located north of Guangzhou, sixty or seventy miles away from Guangzhou City. It is also a major commercial town. However, after the British and French forces occupied Guangzhou, the many shops in Huaxian seemed to have a lot of business.
In the county government flower hall, the magistrate Guo Chao and Guo Jingzhi were accusing Bai Gui of the Guangzhou Prefecture of treason, and even louder: "Mr. I come to Guangzhou, and the people in the whole city will see the sun as if they are clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, I will follow you to investigate eastern Guangdong!"
Ye Zhao sighed and said, "If there are many civil and military officials in Guangdong who are as loyal as Jingzhi, how can they lose their hands?"
When Guo Jingzhi immediately shone on his face, he felt that his bones had become a few taels of lighter.
Ye Zhao sipped tea and thought about the situation in Guangzhou. He said that the life of the British and French occupation troops is not easy. Although there are thirteen famous figures in the city, Wu Chongyao, Liang Lunshu and other gentry gangs to maintain order and appease the people, and hired hundreds of Chinese to patrol day and night for police, and the city gradually stabilized. However, there are rural heroes attacking Yangyi everywhere outside the city. There are even rumors that thousands of Chaoyongs gathered near Guangzhou City to prepare to defeat the city. The "Occupation Committee" such as Baxiali asked Guangdong Governor Bai Gui and other officials to send people to wipe out the rural heroes as guides. The reply was "Suppressing the thieves, but to the king and father, Bo Zhong said that if you take outsiders to suppress the people and be shot dead by artillery, you will be shy and be willing to do so?"
"We will send more sentry detectives in the past few days to detect the movements of the barbarians in Guangzhou City." Ye Zhao ordered.
Guo Jingzhi hurriedly replied: "Yes, the barbarians have coveted Huacheng for a long time, and they dare not neglect their humble duties day and night."
Ye Zhao smiled and nodded. He was another official. Unfortunately, he was too anxious and said every word that he was eager to show his merits. Compared with the officials trained by the huge bureaucratic system in later generations, many officials in this life are still a little less excited.
There is an extremely elegant garden in the suburbs of Huacheng County, with a house in front and pond in the back, and a water and wood. The owner is a wealthy family in the surname Liu. He respected Guo Jingzhi for not knowing how much money it was to let the Duke move into this garden.
There is a small forest behind the garden, lush and lush. At this time, there are several small trees with black wooden boards on the branches as targets, and several personal guards are riding horses to compete for their shooting skills.
In fact, the ammunition of the flag guard guards has been exhausted, so they can only wait for the brigade to come and replenish it. Therefore, the personal soldiers now cherish the "copper hat", but daily shooting competition has become a common practice. The Duke of the State came to watch it in person, which has not been able to discourage the general's interest.
Today, Ma Dayong and five other personal soldiers competed with guns. One after another, they rode their horses past the loess road in front of the woods. The gunshots sounded, but it was determined by who could knock down more wooden targets.
"Let me try!" Seeing their whistle and Mercedes-Benzing passion, Ye Zhao suddenly felt itchy. If you encounter such a game before, you naturally avoid it and avoid being too embarrassed to show your misfortune. But now you are not afraid. The marshal who can't shoot is also a good marshal. It is fully reflected in Ye Zhao. Who doesn't know that the marshal is inferior to the marshal? But who is not obedient to the marshal?
Bakesh quickly helped Ye Zhao get on the horse, handed his carbine onto the bullet, and said, "Master, you can try a few shots first."
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "No need, just shoot it and play with it."
Headed by Baksh, Ma Dayong and other personal guards nodded repeatedly, agreeing deeply.
"Hold!" Ye Zhao squeezed the horse's belly with force, and the red horse galloped out. Ye Zhao immediately complained, "This dead horse has not been ridden for several days. Have you forgotten that your master is in trouble?"
He was holding the horse's belly with one hand and holding the reins with one hand, for fear of pushing himself down. However, when he saw the horse running past the woods, Ye Zhao was very anxious and didn't care about it. He raised his hand with his right hand and shot it, and then he quickly pulled the reins hard to drive the horse slow down and run back.
But suddenly I heard the loud shouts of the sky-high price. Looking back, a wooden rake fell down in response.
"Just hit the bull's-eye!" the guard who ran to put the wooden rake again shouted.
"Okay! The handsome man is good at shooting!" Bakesh, Ma Dayong and others cheered loudly. You should know that these personal guards are all sharpshooters, but if you can hit a target on a horse, it would be a great result to hit a target in three or four rounds.
Ye Zhao was dizzy, knowing that he had always been lucky, but who knew that he could get right when shooting a target, but it was really helpless. Forget it, I would be less troubled in the future, otherwise his name as a sharpshooter would be revealed sooner or later.
"Master is good at shooting skills!" A sharp shout of cheer seemed a little out of line. Ye Zhao turned around and looked at two carriages outside the courtyard wall. Rui Si was standing in front of one of them. Next to the other carriage, there were golden silk and red glows. The gorgeous red rose fragrance skirt with gold embroidered phoenix embroidered phoenixes, and the crystal pearls and jade with a Yonghua phoenix bun. Who can be so bright and charming except for Grandma Jin?
Ye Zhao jumped off his horse with a smile, strode over, and picked up Rui Si who was calling for help, and laughed and said, "Si'er, I miss you so much!"
Rui Si's eyes were a little wet, and his body was warmed by his master. At this moment, his mind was inspiring. It was really for the sake of his master, and he had no regrets.
"Let's go, let's go into the house to talk!" Ye Zhao took Ruisi's hand, strode towards the back door of the garden, and smiled slightly when he walked past Grandma Jin Er's side: "Jinfeng, I miss you a little too."
Grandma Jin was stunned, her pretty face slightly warmed, but no man dared to talk to her like this. After more than a year of separation from this evil young man, her fear of him gradually faded, but she still dared not retaliate when she was teased by her.
Ye Zhao pulled Ruisi and entered the side hall. His servants served tea and retreated. There were only Ye Zhao, Ruisi and the second grandmother Jin left in the hall.
"Master, the British troops stationed in Hailou, Guanyin Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The flag soldiers in Guangzhou City were all confiscated. There were about 1,000 people stationed near the Governor's Office, most of which were Red Heads. " Because Ye Zhao called Indian mercenaries Red Heads A San when they communicated with Ruisi, Yi Ruisi followed suit. In fact, the mercenaries from the Indian subcontinent were different from the Indian police who served in the Shanghai Concession. Mercenaries rarely wrapped their heads with red cloth, but the title of Red Heads A San could not escape.
Ye Zhao savored the tea and nodded slightly.
Rui Si said again: "Now Bai Gui, Wu Chongyao, Liang Lunshu and others are almost gone. They are all grandchildren and masters for foreigners. When you check Guangzhou, Wu family and Liang family have copied them!"
The Wu family and Liang family are all famous figures. Before the First Sino-British War, they accumulated huge wealth by the court's acquiescent monopoly on foreign trade. For example, the Wu family is said to have hoarded nearly 20 million taels of silver, which is about 50 million pounds of pounds at the current exchange rate. However, in Europe during the same period, there were only a few rich people with wealth of more than one million pounds. The "mysterious" Rothschild family, according to regular historical records, recorded through heritage records rather than traitors, is actually only worth more than 2 million pounds.
Seeing Ruisi gritting his teeth and speaking, Ye Zhao smiled: "Maintaining order in Guangzhou and keeping the people from being disturbed is a good deed. Why does it change the taste in your mouth?"
Although the second grandma Jin was there, Ruisi did not hide it and said awkwardly: "Master, I am jealous of the master when I look at the money of the Wu family."
Ye Zhao glared at him: "Do you think I am a robber? How much money do others have to do with me?"
Grandma Jin pursed her red lips tightly, for fear of something strange on her face. But when she heard Ye Zhao's words, she felt very convinced. Are you a robber?
But Ye Zhao seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and said, "Jinfeng, don't whisper in his heart. I'll lend you money. Sooner or later, I'll make you profit with capital and profit. I'll do business with me and I won't lose you!"
"I have no random thoughts. Being able to serve the prince is a blessing for the three lives of Jin Feng." Grandma Jin was generous.
Ye Zhao was slightly surprised and looked at her. She was completely different in front of him the same year ago. It seemed that this smart woman had found a way to get along with her.
Ye Zhaozi also knew the purpose of Grandma Jin Er's visit, and said, "Wait first on the other end of the iron factory. When the matter in Guangzhou is over, we might be able to make a decision. It might be easier to enter Foshan." As the machine has actually arrived in Hong Kong, but now it is not a good time to start a factory.
To be continued...
