Gu Yili covered her mouth with an incredible expression.
She froze in place and stopped pulling.
Alice's words caused Gu Yili's mind to become confused and she had not yet reacted.
Li Zhen stared at Alice, with a faint smile on his lips, and said: "You don't have to kneel when you stand up to speak." The woman in front of him was really unexpected, or she was a little scheming.
Alice stood up gracefully and stood neatly.
Li Zhen said: "You are the person arranged by Ali Kingdom to monitor me, but now you take the initiative to tell me, do you want me to forgive you, and then follow me, and then take the opportunity to monitor me and tell Ali Kingdom about my movements?
?”
"General, Alice must not dare."
Alice pursed her lips and said: "The general rescued our sisters from the devil's cave, which is already a great kindness. Besides, the situation that day was that Ali State asked our sisters to serve the general, and wanted to win over the general, and had no intention of letting us leave with the general.
Because the general is kind-hearted and suddenly asked Alli Kingdom to take us away, Alli Kingdom temporarily notified me of monitoring your actions."
"Although Gu Yili and I live in the house, we have no access to political affairs and no opportunity to inquire about information. Even if surveillance is required, since I only know English and don't understand Chinese, it will be difficult to succeed."
At this point, Gu Lina suddenly took a deep breath and said: "The only chance to find out the news is in bed. Only by having a relationship with the general can we get the news from the general. However, the general respects our sisters very much and does not give us any information."
I have a chance. In this way, I have no chance to pry for information. The general asked us sisters to go to the study, he must have wanted to test us. The general is very kind to me and Gu Yili, I can't deceive the general, so I told the general directly. "
"Pah! Pah!"
Li Zhen clapped his hands and praised: "What a wonderful speech. I'm afraid I have prepared it a long time ago."
Alice suddenly became anxious and said, "General, what I said is absolutely true."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "How to prove it? You know, once you do things for me and reveal secrets to Ali Country, it will be a fatal blow to me. I can't bear such a loss, and I don't dare to choose
I believe it. Your words are sincere and even convincing, but I can only choose not to believe it."
Alice looked solemn and said, "How can the general believe it?"
Li Zhen stared at Alice intently, his eyes wandering up and down, as if he was considering Alice's value.
Alice gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and began to untie her clothes, preparing to exchange her body for Li Zhen's trust. Li Zhen stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't have that idea. If I wanted you, I would have done it long ago.
I’ve done it, and I won’t wait until now.”
When Alice heard this, she felt extremely aggrieved and even had tears in her eyes.
However, she felt powerless and didn't know how to prove it.
Gu Yili was like an injured little girl, standing beside Alice blankly, without saying a word. She originally thought she was living a happy and peaceful life, but who knew it would change in the blink of an eye. Her sister became the spy of Ali Country.
Zhen's spy, Li Zhen was on guard at all times and did not trust them. The two sides became irreconcilable opposites, making it difficult for Gu Yili to accept the reality in front of her.
Alice was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "General, if you don't believe me, send me back."
"Sister, you can't go back!"
Gu Yili immediately grabbed Alice's hand and shook her head like a rattle.
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, with a surprised look on his face.
This woman had some courage. Li Zhen shook his head and refused, not agreeing.
Li Zhen was on guard against the Alice sisters, but he could not send them to the tiger's mouth.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Zhen said: "A Liguo gave you to me, so it is impossible to go back. According to the previous arrangement, I will still work in the study for a while, serving tea and water, and cleaning. After a while, I will
I will arrange things for you. When the time comes, you can do things freely."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen stood up and left.
When leaving, Li Zhen sighed in his heart, he was still soft-hearted!
If he had a hard-hearted heart, he could just send the two of them away, and it would be over. Now that Alice and Gu Yili are staying, Li Zhen must be careful. Fortunately, Liu Taiping solved the matter, and Li Zhen felt a lot more relieved.
…
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was already the last day of the third year of Xianfeng.
On this day, Li Zhen went to the military camp.
At this time, the military camp has been reorganized. The two thousand soldiers in the military camp are set up as a reinforced regiment, with Huang Shihai as the commander. Among them, 30 soldiers form a platoon, and three platoons form a company and then form a battalion. All calculated,
But six battalions were formed. The chief officers at all levels in the army were well assigned, and the soldiers all had responsible people, so there would be no confusion.
Among them, Qi Zhenhai and Smith became the lowest platoon commanders, and Yang Banhou was the deputy regimental commander. Zhou Xiuying's 300 female soldiers were also organized and became an independent battalion.
As for Yang Banhou's 120 Jiandao Battalion special forces, they are a separate company.
Not only that, Lu Shaochuan and Zhu Wu also received news of the reorganization.
It was obviously impossible for Li Zhen to be with these soldiers during the Chinese New Year. He came to the military camp the day before to spend time with the soldiers. Li Zhen went to the military camp and gave the soldiers a shot of cardiotonic, which made the soldiers feel warm in their hearts. From Li Zhen
After going on stage to talk, Li Zhen had a meal with all the soldiers, and then watched the soldiers' training one by one before returning to the Chinese army's tent.
Li Zhen sat above the rectangular conference table, with Huang Shihai sitting first on the left and Yang Banhou sitting first on the right.
Zhou Xiuying sat under Huang Shihai, and Smith and Qi Zhenhai sat under Yang Banhou.
Li Zhen said: "I saw the soldiers in the military camp. The reorganization in the army has been almost completed. It is very fast and very good. We have money now and cannot be stingy, especially the more than 2,000 soldiers in the army are elites and cannot be stingy."
Stingy. It’s the Chinese New Year, and each soldier will be given a reward of 10 taels of silver, so that the soldiers can have a good New Year.”
Huang Shihai said: "Commander, although the treatment is good, there are still some ordinary soldiers in the Qing army camp. If the incident of 10 taels of silver comes out, the other soldiers will definitely not give up."
After the army was reorganized, Li Zhen's title of "general" also changed to "marshal".
This title is obviously more domineering.
Qi Zhenhai said solemnly: "The pay is different, and the treatment is naturally different. Ordinary Qing army soldiers have nothing to do. They are only allowed to transport some food, and they are not allowed to fight on the battlefield. They are already served with delicious food and drink. What else do you want to do?
How about that? The commander-in-chief's soldiers are all equipped with imported foreign guns. If they dare to cause trouble, they will be suppressed directly. They are a bunch of moths that should have been cleaned up long ago."
But Yang Banhou said: "Commander, I think we should give each of them 10 taels of silver for the time being to celebrate the New Year."
Li Zhen said: "What do you think?"
Yang Banhou said: "The moths need to be dealt with, but it is the end of the year and there can be no chaos. As long as the general gives each person 10 taels of silver to celebrate the New Year, they will spread the news about the high reward for the soldiers under the general, and the general will recruit soldiers.
It’s much easier. After the New Year, the commander will find a reason to send the unnecessary soldiers to the Jiangbei camp and leave them to Qishan to handle, so that he can recruit troops alone."
After hearing this, Li Zhen exclaimed: "Okay, Ban Hou is right."
At that moment, Li Zhen issued an order to give each soldier 10 taels of silver as a new year's allowance.
The more than 2,000 soldiers directly under Li Zhen's command totaled more than 20,000 taels of silver, and there were more than 10,000 Qing soldiers, which cost more than 100,000. For Li Zhen, who already had a net worth of tens of millions, it was indeed not much.
Money just buys fame.
Ps: The third update is completed; I have returned home from busy farming and have undergone labor reform.
