In October, Baiyin Dalai was shot to death by the Front Patrol Battalion in Ulan Tao Mountain, Horqin.
In February of the following year, Babu Zabu was shot dead by the patrol battalion in Caiyong Town!
In April, Yashi was shot dead by a patrol battalion near the border while escaping!
As several major bandit leaders were wiped out one after another, the bandits entrenched on the grassland completely lost their leadership and either fled in all directions or died down.
At this point, the rebels were no longer a threat, and at the same time, the forward patrol battalion also received orders to return.
In a blink of an eye, time comes to May.
On this day, the patrol battalion, which had been deployed for nearly two years, arrived at Fengtian City as scheduled.
At the end of last year, Guangxu and Cixi died of illness, and Puyi, who was only three years old, quickly ascended the throne. However, Puyi was too young, and the real person in power was the regent Zaifeng.
At this time, Zaifeng was in power for the first time. Looking around, all the internal and external military and political affairs were Yuan Datou's party members, and Yuan Datou was still a Han. In order to protect the country, Zaifeng united with the Manchu ministers and deposed Yuan Datou.
When Yuan Datou fell, Xu Shichang, a party member, was inevitably implicated. After Yuan Datou left office, Xu Shichang immediately retired due to illness and was transferred to the post of Minister of the Ministry of Posts and Communications and the supervisor of the Jingpu Railway.
Currently, the governor of the three eastern provinces is Xiliang, a native of Mongolia's Xianglan Banner.
Although Xiliang was a die-hard royalist, he did not reject the Han people.
Therefore, in order to celebrate the success of the patrol battalion in countering the rebellion, he held a grand welcome ceremony. People all over the city gathered at the city gate to have a look at the powerful army!
In the past dungeons, Li Jie has experienced countless various welcome ceremonies, so he has long been immune to such activities.
Compared with these false names, he wants to get some substantial benefits.
However, as emperor and courtier, he was promoted by Xu Shichang. In the eyes of some people, he was also one of Yuan Datou's party members.
Although he won the battle this time, he never expected to get any good rewards. As long as he was not transferred away, he would be satisfied.
Fortunately, Xiliang is not a narrow-minded person. He is a fairly upright official and is a practical and capable official.
Quhe Tower is the tallest hotel near the South City Gate. In order to occupy the best viewing position, Quhe Tower is overcrowded today.
In the private room on the third floor, a round-faced maid wearing green clothes and pigtails stood on tiptoes and stretched her head to look at the city gate. When she saw the large army entering the city, she immediately shouted excitedly behind her
road.
"Grog!"
"Grog!"
"Look!"
"General Zhu has entered the city!"
A woman in green, with bright eyes and white teeth, and an orchid-like anger, glanced helplessly at the hopping maid.
This girl is really crazy!
If this woman came from the later generations, she would definitely not be surprised by the maid's behavior, because the maid's behavior is very similar to those groupies who run around chasing their idols.
However, the woman in green did not blame the little maid. Although the two of them were called master and servant, the little maid had been by her side since she was a child and grew up with her.
In addition, the woman in green is not the kind of ungrateful person. Therefore, the two of them are master and servant in front of outsiders, but they are like sisters in private.
"Damn girl, why are you so excited? Are you feeling springy?"
Faced with the teasing of the woman in green, the little maid didn't take it at all and smiled.
"I don't have one!"
"Gege, come on, come and take a look. If you don't take a look, General Zhu will leave."
The woman in green rolled her eyes and muttered: "No shame or shame!"
When the little maid heard this, not only was she not shy, but she walked over to the woman in green and pulled her to the window.
"Gege, look, that's General Zhu!"
The woman in green looked down and saw an imposing man riding a tall horse at the front of the team. Facing the surging crowd, this man's face was indifferent, and he looked like a mountain was falling in front of him.
Unchangeable heroic spirit.
Suddenly, the man looked up. Although the two were far apart, the woman in green always felt that the other man was looking at her.
Immediately, the woman in green looked away like a frightened rabbit.
"Ah! Miss, why are you blushing?"
The woman in green turned her head and said softly: "No way!"
"Obviously there is!"
"No!"
"have!"
"If I say no, I won't!"
"Miss, you are lying, you obviously have it!"
Whoops!
Whoops!
The woman in green looked at the little maid angrily. She was really going to be pissed to death by this girl. Then she pinched the soft flesh around the maid's waist hard and said one word at a time.
"No!"
"ah!"
The little maid felt pain and immediately let out a cry of surprise.
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
The woman in green raised her head and said, "Ah? Do you still dare to be stubborn?"
"I don't dare! I don't dare!" The little maid begged for mercy again and again, saying: "Miss, I don't dare anymore. I just saw it wrong. I saw it wrong. Quick, let me go. It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
"snort!"
The woman in green snorted, took back her palms from her waist, and clapped her hands.
"Let's see if you dare next time!"
At the same time, in the team below, when Li Jie saw the woman, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It's her!
The woman in green who looked at him just now was none other than Na Wen, the official concubine of the "Chuan Wen" in the original work.
At this time, the Qing court had not yet been destroyed, and she was still the carefree Princess.
However, Li Jie quickly put this matter behind him, because the new governor was waiting for them with a smile on his face.
After the city entry ceremony was over, Xiliang summoned Li Jie and his subordinates to the Governor's Mansion.
"Commander Zhu, you have played an indispensable role in clearing the Northern Mongolian bandits this time. I will definitely report it impartially, and I sincerely request the imperial court to reward all the soldiers!"
Li Jie clasped his fists and said modestly: "This is a subordinate's duty. I don't dare to ask for rewards!"
He would not believe a scene like this, because he had already received information about the 'Poisonous Snake', and Xiliang had no intention of asking for credit for him.
The reason why the other party did this was not entirely to suppress the Han people.
According to the report from 'Venomous Snake', Xiliang had three reasons for doing this.
First, because Li Jie was an official promoted by Xu Shichang, and he was already branded as "Beiyang". Although he was not the core of the Beiyang faction, if the city gate was on fire and it affected Chiyu, there were some things that you couldn't hide from if you wanted to.
The second reason is because of his age. Li Jie is only in his twenties this year, but he is now the commander of the front patrol battalion, with thousands of troops under his command. He is already a very powerful force in the three eastern provinces.
If the three eastern provinces were not in chaos at this time, Xiliang even wanted to order Li Jie's swords and guns to be stored in the warehouse and the horses to be released in Nanshan.
Thirdly, Xiliang was also protective. He secretly admired Li Jie. If he promoted Li Jie again, it would inevitably touch some people's sensitive nerves.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!
