Chang Wei lowered his head slightly, as if he had a stubborn temper, and looked like if you don't give me an explanation, I will definitely complain to my wife when I get back.
Inexplicably, Zhao Ming didn't want to laugh, but felt a little melancholy.
He took out another cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then exhaled a long puff of green smoke.
He patted Lao Chang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Lao Chang, you are right, you are indeed my direct descendants and our own people.
I, Zhao Ming, have been an orphan without a father or mother since the famine.
After I came to Fengjiazhuang and married Yunyun, everyone in Fengjiazhuang became my Zhao Ming family, no closer than my relatives in the fifth service.
But... I wonder if you have heard of a story? "
"Story? What story?"
Chang Wei looked at Zhao Ming. In fact, based on Zhao Ming's previous words, his dissatisfaction had dissipated a lot.
But deep down in his heart, he still felt that since they were direct descendants, they should be used. After all, they had to be responsible for his wife.
If Madam knew that they didn't protect her uncle personally outside, she would definitely blame them.
Besides, this is what they should do.
Ever since he learned about Mr. Zhao's current situation from his wife, Chang Wei subconsciously began to supervise and train the dealers.
And asked the soldiers of the Song Suppressing Army who are now stationed in Fengjiazhuang to help train the villagers in marksmanship and some battlefield knowledge.
Before coming here, Chang Wei was full of confidence, hoping to gain Master Zhao's approval and at the same time contribute to protecting Master Zhao.
Who would have thought that after so many days here, these people could hardly get close to Master Zhao.
These outsiders are all around Mr. Zhao every day, which makes Chang Wei feel very uncomfortable.
"You know Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu, right?" Zhao Ming said lightly.
"Of course I know. We Guanzhong swordsmen respect these ancient heroes the most. We used to listen to people's stories in teahouses all day long!"
Chang Wei nodded repeatedly, but Zhao Ming's mouth twitched.
Overlord of Chu, is he defined as a hero by you? Is it set a little too low?
"Ahem, it's not important, but do you know what King Chu Ba said?" Zhao Ming continued to ask.
"Is it not a crime of war to kill me here?"
"That's not it!"
"So, even though Chu has three households, Chu will definitely be destroyed if Qin is destroyed?"
"No!"
The veins on Zhao Ming's forehead jumped. How come this old Chang always remembers these life-or-death quotes?
"That's the sentence, I have no face to face Mr. Jiangdong!"
"Oh! I know this. Xiang Yu said it when he was desperate. After saying that, he committed suicide in Wujiang River!" Chang Wei nodded excitedly.
It's obvious that he really likes the former legend.
But can you not mention the latter part? You insist on being involved in death, right?
You must have been beaten by your mother a lot during the Chinese New Year!
Zhao Ming cursed in his heart, but still nodded.
"Yeah, that's good, but do you know why Xiang Yu has no face to face Jiangdong's elders?"
"Of course, a hero like Xiang Yu cannot bear to be humiliated. If he returns alive, not only the Han army will laugh at him, but the villagers will also laugh at him because they think he has lost the battle!"
Chang Wei expressed his understanding.
But Zhao Ming shook his head, "Wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Chang Wei was puzzled.
There is such an example among the swordsmen in Guanzhong. Faced with the encirclement and suppression by the Qing soldiers of the previous dynasty, they could not bear the humiliation and jumped into the Wei River.
He believed that he could not bear the ridicule of his opponents and would rather die than surrender!
"If I say you are wrong, you are wrong! In ancient times, the best among the best were often the relatives and family members of the general.
Xiang Yu's elite is also known as the Eight Thousand Jiangdong Disciples, which is the elite main force of the Overlord of Western Chu. "
As he spoke, Zhao Ming's expression gradually became solemn and solemn, and he said in a deep voice,
"And all of these people were brought by him from Xiangcheng in the Chu region. They are almost from the same hometown as Xiang Yu, and they are almost in the same relationship with each other.
When facing the Han army's encirclement and suppression, any soldier killed or injured in front of him might be Xiang Yu's uncle, uncle, or nephew.
Let me ask you, do you understand now why Xiang Yu said this?
If it's just pride that's causing trouble, that's ridiculous! They are all called kings. How many princes, generals and ministers from ancient times to the present care about appearance? "
After saying that, the two were silent for a moment. After a while, Lao Chang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhao, I understand what you mean. But..."
"I know! Next I will reorganize the army, and then I will select twenty young men from among you who are smarter and have brothers at home. From now on, they will be my personal soldiers."
Zhao Ming waved his hand, of course he wanted to use Fengjiazhuang's banker.
The current situation is not bad. When his power becomes more and more powerful in the future, Zhao Ming cannot guarantee 100% whether the hearts of his brothers will change.
He never wanted to test people's hearts. That would not only treat others as fools, but also make him a fool himself.
The next day, early in the morning, Huo Zhongtun became busy again.
Looking at this strange yet familiar place, Zhou Youcai couldn't help but shrink his neck and tugged on his collar to prevent the cold wind from entering his body as much as possible.
He is a miner from Outer Mongolia who went south with the large army before, but he is actually Han, and his hometown is in Sichuan and Chongqing, because he went to Outer Mongolia fifteen years ago to follow his cousin to do business in Outer Mongolia.
I heard that there are many horses, cattle and sheep in Outer Mongolia, so my cousin’s idea is to bring some horses back from there.
Even before setting off, my cousin spent all his money in order to take care of things along the way so that he could bring the horses back safely.
Unexpectedly, not long after arriving in Outer Mongolia and the business had just been concluded, something suddenly happened, and suddenly they became a being that everyone wanted to beat up in the Outer Mongolia authorities.
He had no choice but to hide in a nearby villager's house for several years. Later, when the spotlight became tight, he wanted to persuade his cousin to go back with him.
And that period was also the years when Mr. Xu had just recovered Outer Mongolia. My cousin felt that since it had been recovered, nothing would happen.
But contrary to expectations, with the subsequent deterioration of the domestic situation, here became independent again, and this time even the local fellows suffered the same consequences.
As a result, all the local Han people became refugees and were even persecuted for a time. Their property was confiscated by the authorities, and they were even forced to perform some voluntary labor.
Now looking back on those difficult years, Zhou Youcai couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The days of hard work lasted for several years, until one after another some people couldn't bear it any longer and began to rebel.
At first, the effect was quite good, and even local officials were encouraged by them. After all, they were once their own people.
But as the group of foreigners intervened, the situation instantly reversed, and everyone fell into the abyss again.
But fortunately it's all over.
"By the way, Lao Zhao, what are we doing today?" Zhou Youcai rubbed his hands and looked at his companion next to him.
This person's name is Zhao Laoer, and they all came to Outer Mongolia to do business and suffered disaster.
"It seems that we are not allowed to work, but yesterday I heard that we are required to rest for two days to recuperate first. Then in the next two days, someone will come over to look at some of us who are in poor health and injured.
They have medicine over there, maybe it can cure it. "Old Zhao recalled.
"How can they be so good?" Zhou Youcai was surprised.
"I don't know, but I heard that the officer said that when you return home, you are all family, and it is only natural for family members to take care of their family members." Old Zhao thought for a while.
"Family?"
