After sending Noheita away, Xiao Letian fell into deep contemplation. The demands of the Foreign Legion gave him a deeper understanding of the unique team of the army.
Why should the New Army be loyal to themselves? Is it really the national philosophy they instilled that upgraded their souls? So that they can give up their lives for nothing? The answer is no. The ideas Xiao Letian instilled are certainly useful, but they are definitely not to the extent that tens of millions of living people will die in vain.
The New Army is loyal to him, and its core appeal is interests. You, Xiao Letian, are going to bring about a peaceful and prosperous age. As the first batch of people to bleed and sacrifice, of course we must enjoy the sweetest and most creamy food in the peaceful and prosperous age. The Chinese are shy and embarrassed to say it, but the Japanese samurai have no such worries. We have fought hard, we have bled, and we have sacrificed, so of course I must confidently get the reward that belongs to us.
The 50-stone reward Xiao Letian handed out today is actually a reassurance. It not only makes the loyalty of the foreign legions rise, but also makes all Chinese New Army soldiers feel at ease. They will take it for granted that even the Japanese The soldiers have all received rewards, so of course those of us who followed the Prime Minister at the earliest will also be indispensable.
"Sure enough, the slogans are all lies! Who will fight with you without actual benefits? Anyone who shouts about sacrifice and dedication will naturally be looked at with cold eyes by the people. Why don't you ask me to sacrifice and contribute? Sacrifice one of yourself first, dedicate the other first..."
"The morale of the new army is not based on my eloquent words. It is based on the role model of the first copycat who rushed forward. It is based on the sophisticated equipment obtained in exchange for silver dollars and the encouragement of high military pay. .Only if you give enough rewards and can take the lead, can you win the respect of your subordinates..."
"Only when these two points are met, can we finally consider national justice, benevolence, morality, etc. To advance further on the spiritual level, a strong material foundation is indispensable. Even if you can't give your subordinates too many resources for the time being, please give it a good try. A piece of cake will at least allow them to see a bright future..."
"Hey..." Xiao Letian let out a long sigh and closed his notebook. Today's harvest was very great, and he also learned a lot of experience in running an army and a country.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by the strong fragrance of flowers in the garden at night. The environmental pollution problem in this era was not very serious. When I looked up at the sky, there were so many stars that it felt like I could pick them off with just one hand.
After a few deep breaths, the fatigue of a busy day was almost gone. With the night wind came bursts of noise. Xiao Letian listened carefully and finally determined the direction of the recruit camp. He nodded and knew that the group of Japanese people were now there. The soldiers must have been wearing loincloths and drinking wine, and at the end they would play some Japanese songs, ditties and so on.
"Drink, sing, laugh! This is the reward you deserve. I don't know which of you will leave me first in the future Pu-Austrian war, and who will never leave me!"
Just when Xiao Letian was lamenting the impermanence of life, suddenly there was a slight conversation deep in the rose bush behind him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ping'er and Fangguan.
"They didn't go to their room to rest at this late hour. Why did they come here to feed the mosquitoes? What topic were they secretly talking about? It seems very mysterious?" Xiao Letian felt childlike and tiptoed over.
Thick rose bushes blocked Xiao Letian's figure, and the two girls had no idea that the conversation had been overheard by the unscrupulous master.
"Fang Guan, what's wrong with you today? It's been a gloomy day, and you haven't even eaten much for dinner? You don't have to shake your head, and you don't have to lie to me. What did the German Paul who crossed the Mediterranean with us this morning secretly tell you? ? You’ve been in a bad mood since then..."
"Stop asking, I really don't know what to say. I'm very upset... By the way, let's talk about the master. When the day comes when he returns to China, will the master really give up his wife?"
Fangguan's question caused the conversation to fall into a brief silence. After a long time, he sighed and said, "When you went to practice singing the day before yesterday, I once asked my wife. Of course, the master will not abandon the two ladies, but the master We must make a statement. To put it bluntly, we must put on a show for the foreigners..."
"Ah! How can this work? Even a fake divorce is not possible. What will happen to the children in the future? What about the inheritance rights? Besides, if the master really learns from foreigners to only marry one wife, what about us sisters? We will be married for the rest of our lives. The girl in the same room?"
When Xiao Letian heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and the most scratching question arose. He would rather face the enemy's thousands of troops than face the problem of love between children.
Neither Fu Hui nor Huniu Xiao Letian wants to give up, but if he wants to use the power of Protestantism, he has to perform such a drama. There will always be a woman who loses her status as husband and wife in the legal sense. This is a difficult problem for Xiao Letian until now. No results were selected.
One wave after another, and the problem of the two wives-in-law has not yet been resolved. The future of the girls in Jiaofangsi has become a big problem again.
Xiao Letian rubbed his temples painfully, and a feeling of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of his heart. To be honest, Xiao Letian is not a womanizer. As long as he is busy with his career, he often forgets to be intimate with his wife for whole weeks.
In this state, what if Xiao Letian was given a harem? He wouldn't have time to visit it, and in the end it would be nothing more than a huge waste of resources.
It's not that Xiao Letian never thought about letting these girls go, but he was drowned in tears like the sea water just after he briefly revealed this idea to Huniu and Heping'er.
"Nonsense, if you let these girls go now, wouldn't you be harming them?" Huniu angrily pinched Xiao Letian. "What are their identities? They are all the daughters of the guilty ministers of the Jiaofang Division. You If we don't want them anymore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have to detain them again, and maybe they will be charged with failing the mission..."
"You can't imagine how miserable they will be. The better ones are given to princes, ministers, frontier officials, or generals to be used as playthings and become tools for the court to win people's hearts. The worse ones are sold directly to brothels. Become a prostitute with thousands of people riding on her and sleeping with thousands of people..."
Before Huniu could finish her words, Ping'er burst into tears, "If I don't leave, I won't leave until I die... Master, if you want to drive us away, we will die at the gate, and our bodies will have to stay at home..." Woohoo!”
When Xiao Letian heard this, he quickly raised his hands and surrendered. He could not bear the crime of forcing a girl to death, so he quickly gave up this unrealistic idea.
But problems always have to be solved, not only because of the pressure from Protestantism and Western society, but more importantly, Xiao Letian cannot let these girls become widows with him.
Although every man has a harem dream in his heart, how many nails can he drive even if he is made of iron? Many emperors in history died early, wasn't it because they were consumed by wine and sex too early?
Since Xiao Letian came to this world, he was destined to do a great career. If he was drained by drinking and sex, how could he be worthy of the expensive time-travel ticket given by God?
Tangled, Xiao Letian fell into a deep tangle, he couldn't let it go or not, and he couldn't let it go. This problem had been bothering him since the day of the garden reception, leaving him helpless.
At this moment, the two little girls behind the rose bush started chatting again, and the topic this time made Xiao Letian's eyes suddenly light up.
"Sister Ping'er, I...let me tell you the truth, please don't tell anyone! Do you know what Paul told me? That Paul secretly told me that Pierre was saved by the master We got out and are now heading to Hamburg!"
"Ah! That romantic French man with a big nose? Was he saved by the master? Oh, what did the master think? That stinky gangster should be imprisoned for the rest of his life..." Ping'er said angrily.
But Fangguan's subsequent answer surprised both Ping'er and Xiao Ertian: "Actually... Actually, I'm not very cruel to this Frenchman... I know that the master must have a reason to save him. Paul said that Pierre He is an intelligence talent that is rare to see in a century. I wonder if the master has developed a love for talents?"
Fang Guan's words suddenly became sarcastic, "I... I have been thinking about it for a long time. If the master needs me, I am willing to follow the Frenchman... I, I, I, I will win his heart for the master..."
"Ah... Fangguan, are you crazy?" Ping'er was so shocked that his jaw dropped. Not only him, but also Xiao Letian was stunned. No one could have imagined that Fangguan had this idea.
Ping'er grabbed Fangguan's arm and said, "Don't you fall in love with that big nose? He is a romantic ghost. Wake up. You must wake up!"
Fangguan was already crying anxiously, "I don't know, I don't know if I like him, I just don't think he is very annoying... I, I, I, of course I still like the master, but you can see the current situation clearly. , Master will not give us a status, I really don’t want to be a maid for the rest of my life... wu wu wu!"
Now, Xiao Letian finally realized it. He calmed down, stood up suddenly, walked around the rose bushes and walked behind the two of them.
"Fang Guan! You don't need to say anything, I already understand your heart..."
"Ah! Master... I'm sorry, Master, I'm sorry, we shouldn't talk nonsense..." The two little girls were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately. After two times, their foreheads turned blue, especially Fang Guan, who was almost scared. Faint.
"Get up, get up..." Xiao Letian pulled the two of them up and accompanied them to the stone steps.
"I don't blame you. What you just said is right, Master. I can't give you status. This is unfair to you. You have the right to pursue your own happiness... But I want to criticize you. If you choose Pi El, I hope you really like him instead of recruiting talents for me..."
"You are all living people, women with flesh and blood and feelings. They are not my property, Xiao Letian. I have no right to occupy you, so during this time I have been trying to find a way out for each of you..."
"Fangguan, I've guessed your true thoughts from your words. Now you can't say that you like Pierre, let alone love. What attracts you is actually the love that Pierre brings to you. It’s just touching.”
"Yes, this is Europe, a brand-new world that has been baptized by the Renaissance. Feminist ideas have gradually risen. Pierre can kneel down and give you flowers, he can express his love to you in front of everyone, and he can speak from the bottom of his heart. To respect women, this is something that men in the Qing Dynasty cannot give..."
Xiao Letian caressed Fangguan's hair. At this time, only the tenderness of his elder brother was flowing in his eyes. "Since this touch has attracted you, then be brave and try it. What will happen even if you fail?" Master, I will back you up. If he bullies you, just talk to me and see if I don’t beat him to death!"
Fangguan was completely moved by Xiao Letian's words. She suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into Xiao Letian's arms, smearing his body with snot and tears.
"Okay, don't cry. Master, I can bring peace to a country, but can't I bring peace to a family? Don't worry, even if you leave me, I will protect you for the rest of your life. If the Jiaofang Secretary dares to reach out to you... Hahaha, I even chopped off my legs and hands..."
...
