Heiyunzhai meeting hall.
"Brother, after I go back, I will report this matter to Zhang Xiluan, the prefect of Pingquan Prefecture, and ask him to ask the governor for instructions on recruiting your Heiyun Village. After the letter of appointment comes, I will send someone to send it over. You see After receiving the letter of appointment, choose a day to go to Pingquan Prefecture to negotiate with the prefect. If all the conditions are to your satisfaction, you can pull the team over again, what do you think?" Zhang Tianhe said.
When Du Lisi heard this, he felt that Zhang Tianhe was quite sincere. He rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, I have staked my life and fortune on you. You can't play tricks with me."
"How can I? Please rest assured, brother, even if there is some misunderstanding and unpleasantness between us, it has already passed. Besides, there are still godfather and godmother here, how can I do anything to regret them?" Zhang Tian and said.
"The fact that you said this shows that you still have some conscience," Du Lisi said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. You can eat here today, and then go back after you finish your meal."
"Brother, no need. The matter is urgent. I will go back and implement the matter right away. From now on, we brothers will be together every day and we will have plenty of opportunities to eat." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Well, since you insist on leaving, then go back first and ask Hua Yao and Wu Sen to see you off for me." Du Lisi said.
Hua Yao and Wu Sen sent Zhang Tianhe one way after another.
"Commander Zhang, our brothers have always wanted to work with you. You have always been wary, afraid that people in the world will say that you are poaching your godfather. Now, it seems that our brothers can work together openly and legitimately. Yes, we are very pleased about this." Hua Yao said.
"Thank you two brothers for your love and trust in me. In fact, I have long thought that we could be together. Sooner or later, if something happens, I can ask you two for advice." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Commander Zhang, you're welcome. You are no longer the same person you were before. With your current talents, you can be a governor, let alone the commander of the third battalion." Hua Yao said.
"Brother, you are joking. How can the governor be something that ordinary people can do?" Zhang Tianhe said with a smile.
"I heard that you broke the watch I gave you last time. I got another Swiss Patek Philippe watch here as a gift to you." Wu Sen said.
"Brother, thank you for saving my life with your watch. Otherwise, our brothers would never see each other again." Zhang Tianhe said, taking the watch and looking at it in his hand.
"It's not the watch that saved you, but the fact that you are blessed with great fortune and good luck. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later," Wu Sen said.
"I'm borrowing my brother's words! Isn't this Swiss watch very expensive?" Zhang Tianhe asked casually.
"There are only 100 pieces of this kind of watch in the world, worth more than 50,000 taels of silver." Wu Sen said.
"What?" Zhang Tianhe was shocked when he heard this, "A watch is so expensive? If a gentleman doesn't take away a person's beauty, then I can't have it."
"Just take it. It's useless for me to ask for it anyway. You are the head of the family now, how can you not control the time? You are willing to give us cannons and shells, so what does it matter? In other words, I didn't buy it with my money." Wu Sen insisted on giving it to him.
Zhang Tianhe understands the temperament of this kind of person. If he sincerely gives you something, if you don't accept it, you will offend him.
"Brother, I won't be polite and accept it." Zhang Tianhe said.
The two of them had to send Zhang Tianhe fifty miles away before they parted in tears.
Zhang Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Heiyun Village, thinking that he had once again walked through the gate of hell, but fortunately this trip was not in vain.
Zhang Tianhe returned to the camp, Tang Dalong and others were anxious.
When Tang Dalong saw Zhang Tianhe coming back, he said to him: "My Lord Commander, you are finally back. If Mr. Liu hadn't stopped us, we would have led our troops to defeat Heiyun Village."
Zhang Tianhe laughed and said, "Do you think I came back alive and well?"
"Have you met Du Lisi?" everyone asked.
"See you."
"Then he was so kind this time that he was able to put you back intact. It's really the sun rising in the west." Tang Dalong said.
"Thanks to Hua Yao and Wu Sen for interceding for me, otherwise, the consequences would be hard to say."
"I'm just telling you, how can this bastard be so kind?" Tang Dalong said.
Zhang Tianhe told everyone what happened. After everyone listened, chills ran down their spines, and they all said, "Commander Zhang, you are really good. If it were us, we would probably shit our pants." .”
"Commander Zhang, congratulations, this will make us stronger." Liu Bodu said with a smile.
Sure enough, as expected by Mr. Liu, Zhang Xiluan told the governor Zhao Erxun about the matter. Within a few days, the letter of appointment was issued, appointing Du Lisi as the deputy commander of the third battalion and the commander of the infantry battalion, and asked him to direct the personnel. The establishment was reduced, and the five hundred able-bodied men were selected to be incorporated into the army, while all the others were sent home.
When the appointment letter came out, everyone started talking again. Tang Dalong said first: "This Du Lisi is really lucky. He got a bargain for free. He didn't spend a penny and didn't ask anything. He got the position of deputy of the third battalion." Commander, we people work hard and work hard, but in the end, we are still under his leadership, how can this be justified?"
"Yes, what kind of favor does he have to our brothers? Why should we accept his leadership?"
"According to me, it would be good to give him a sentry command, and a battalion commander!"
"When he comes, if he dares to give orders in front of us, I will give him a shot."
"..."
Everyone was talking about anything.
"Nonsense! Don't forget, you are now the regular army of the imperial court. You are no longer the beards you used to be. Soldiers regard obedience as their bounden duty. This is what Shangfeng means. We must obey orders. Don't ask him to be the deputy of the third battalion. Commander, even if he is allowed to be the official leader, I have to give way to him," Zhang Tianhe said, "I will say something ugly first. When Du Lisi comes, if anyone dares to disrespect him and start trouble, then, Don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
When everyone saw that Zhang Tianhe was angry, no one dared to speak. Only Tang Dalong was thick-skinned and said with a smile: "Commander Zhang, what are you doing? Why are you angry? We brothers are just talking casually. When the time comes, we will We all listen to you, we will do whatever you ask us to do, isn’t that okay?”
"That's pretty much it," Zhang Tianhe said, "I still have to go to Heiyun Village in person to deliver the letter of appointment."
"Commander Zhang, you have already been there once before. You can just send a brother to go this time. Why do you have to go in person?" Tang Dalong said.
"It's just that this Du Lisi is different from others. He is too suspicious. If I don't go there in person, he might not believe it. He might even think that we have set a trap for him to get into. Then the matter will be screwed up. It would be bad if Feng was blamed." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Commander Zhang, I'm coming and going." At this time, a man stood up and said loudly.
