Chapter 535 Double Happiness Using People as a Mirror

Once in Panama, Claris asked Zhao Chuanxin what he wanted these guns for.

Zhao Chuanxin told her that she wanted to give a favor, and this favor was actually for Sun Gongwu to inherit.

Zhao Chuanxin despises the Type 88 Committee, which shakes violently when fired, and the muzzle is seriously raised.

My own people can't use this thing, it's unreliable.

He nodded: "Do you know where the Portuguese warship is?"

Blowing Water Ju swallowed: "I know..."

He had some vague guesses.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled, his teeth were stained red by the blood in his mouth.

……

"What are the backgrounds of those two people?" the detachment leader He Wu asked his subordinates.

He Wu is the captain of an army of more than [-] people organized by Sun Gongwu. He comes from a reckless background, has a savage face, and speaks with an unruly aura.

The subordinate shook his head: "The superiors refuse to say, only Mr. Sun and Huang Mingtang know their identities."

"Bah!" He Wu spat out thick phlegm, "All cats and dogs are stuffed into Lao Tzu's team."

The eyeballs of his subordinates rolled: "Do you want me to teach the two of them a lesson?"

It was really that those two people were too out of tune with them.

Everyone else was very nervous before the battle, but these two had calm expressions on their faces, and they didn't seem to take the war at all.

Other people's clothes, even if they can't be said to be worn out, aren't necessarily much better.

But the two of them were well-dressed, especially the colorful western-style coarse cloth clothes, which fit very well, the stitches were astonishingly fine, and there were several pockets, which were extremely convenient for storing things.

It seems that the coarse cloth is also exquisite and wear-resistant, like an imported product.

When Mr. Sun rewarded the "Three Armies" before, everyone else ate their food, but the two of them seemed to have the same taste, and it seemed that eating meat could not satisfy them.

Bah, dog, what are you proud of?
Pretentiousness is the most hated, and He Wu's subordinates have long disliked them.

"Hey." He Wu sneered: "We still have to show face to Mr. Sun and Huang Mingtang. However, when issuing weapons, we should take special care of them, you understand?"

"Understand, understand very well." The subordinate showed a wretched smile.

The distribution of weapons began shortly thereafter.

There are 42 fast guns and 17 shell guns.

He Wu stood on the stage and said triumphantly: "Mr. Sun bought this pistol with military expenses. We are going to organize a group of pistolmen. Those who want to join should stand up for me."

He deliberately glanced at the two people in the corner from the corner of his eye, but saw that they were unmoved in the slightest.

You know, pistols are exquisite, and at this time, non-generals are not allowed to equip them.

So there are plenty of people who are interested.

Immediately, Hula stood up and said, "I will join."

Only the two in the corner sat peacefully like a mountain.

He Wu narrowed his eyes and ordered 17 people.

All 42 quick guns and 17 shell guns were issued, but there are more than [-] people in this army, what about the rest?
Don't be afraid, in addition to guns, there are sabers, ropes, and even - firecrackers.

Yes, there is no power, you can only listen to loud firecrackers.

A young man with a pot head in the corner curled his lips: "This is the first time I've heard that firecrackers are used in war."

The slightly older man with leopard head and ring eyes next to him patted him on the head: "Before I came, Zhongyi said, Wang Long, you kid can be arrogant, and you specially asked you to talk less, did you forget?"

"Brother Shuangxi, do you think this looks like an army? The bandit leader, the chieftain of the feudal privileged class, what kind of instructor is there, who thinks he is Lin Chong?" Wang Long was obviously not convinced. "If the fucking rebellion succeeds, I'll eat the firecrackers they gave out."

Double happiness and joy: "Let's just join in the fun. I managed to get it, so don't do anything bad."

"I'm afraid they will sell their teammates at critical moments."

Shuangxi sneered and said, "Could it be that you think the Qing army can keep us?"

Wang Long was full of arrogance: "Just rely on them?"

He Wu's subordinates came to the two of them with firecrackers: "This is yours, take it with you, let you let it go."

Wang Long took a sip: "I don't need it, I have weapons!"

"Do you know the fate of disobeying orders in the army?" He Wu's subordinates turned dark: "Do you have a weapon? What kind of weapon? Take it out and let me see."

Wang Long rolled his eyes: "Who are you, why should I show you?"

"you……"

In fact, among the veterans of the insurance team, Shuangxi was the most stunned.

However, when he went out this time, he was inexplicably depressed.

It seems to have become mature all of a sudden.

Instead, he said: "We want firecrackers, so you have the final say."

He Wu's subordinates gave the two of them a hard look, put down the firecrackers, turned around and left.

Wang Long spat at his back: "Cheng is not a fucking thing!"

"Stop talking, if you cause trouble again, I'll send you back." Shuangxi said with a stern face.

Wang Long raised his head, his nostrils turned to the sky, he didn't speak but he was not convinced.

Seeing this, Shuangxi couldn't help laughing.

He remembered that in the past, perhaps his impression of Zhongyi and Chuanzhi was the same as Wang Long's impression of himself at this time.

This shriveled calf is a thorn in the side, but his combat quality is extremely high, and he stands out among the new generation of insurance team members. He is a leader in shooting, fighting, survival in the wild, and physical fitness.

Seven were dissatisfied and eight were angry, and they would not listen to anyone except a few old people.

This time Li Guangzong proposed to send two people to the south to join Sun Gongwu's team.

Originally there was nothing wrong with Shuangxi, but during the selection, Wang Long won the first place, and Zhao Zhongyi chose Shuangxi to accompany him with some deep meaning.

Now Shuangxi somewhat understood Zhao Zhongyi's good intentions.

Taking people as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses.

After firing the weapons, He Wu shouted on the stage: "I'll be full later, and I'll start shooting after eating."

There was still meat in the meal.

Fatty pork, stewed badly, but with few seasonings and no side dishes.

Wang Long poked vigorously into the bowl with his chopsticks, and muttered, "At least give me some garlic sauce, it's so fat, how can I eat it?"

The prosperity of Lugang Town is well known to everyone outside the customs.

In the age of lack of oil and water, people like to eat fat is what the body needs.When there is too much oil and water, if you eat fatty meat, it must be for the taste or a certain dish needs fat.

Lugang Town has long since escaped the time of lack of oil and water.

Especially for the insurance team, there is meat in the meals during training, it doesn't mean that fat people don't eat it, it's just that the cooks of the insurance team change their ways, they can't compare with restaurants, at least they are better than the mediocre food now.

"It's enough to eat. I heard that we are going to climb a mountain. Don't embarrass our insurance team."

Wang Long put the fat meat in his mouth and swallowed it, and drank a big mouthful of rice: "Even if I don't eat for three days, I'm still tougher than this group of idiots."

After dinner, the team set off.

When entering the mountain, the sky was already full of stars and the moon was hanging high.

The weather is a bit cold.

There are more than a hundred people, and there is no formation.

The first to take the lead is Zhennanguan Governor Huang Mingtang, Commander Feng Xiang, Deputy Commander Li Youqing, Hui Party Leader Wang Heshun, South Yunnan Hui Party Leader Guan Renfu, followed by Detachment Leader He Wu.

Wang Long said from the back: "There are more than 500 people in our insurance team, and none of them dare to say the commander. This team of more than a hundred people, hehe..."

"Shut up." Shuangxi repeated these two words countless times.

Fortunately, Wang Long is quite obedient.

They are at the end of the line.

The team chirped and whispered, startling the birds in the forest from time to time.

A group of people dressed in velvet and vines, hurriedly traveled from Tongdeng and Namo in Vietnam to Zhennan Pass.

In the middle of the night, some people complained of suffering.

"Oh, I'm exhausted."

Some people yawned: "It's really a crime to travel this starry night."

He Wu's subordinates were also a bit overwhelmed, but they still said: "Work harder, and we will be there soon."

He couldn't help but glance back, and vaguely saw the last two tall and straight figures, they seemed to be carrying bags, and their steps were unusually steady.

This is very different from the staggering and swaying steps of others.

He Wu's subordinates slandered: Could it be that the two of them were fought with iron?

When the stars were sinking, everyone finally arrived at a mountain in Nonghuai near Zhennan Pass.

With a tired face, He Wu walked between the lines: "Okay, let's rest here for a while."

Everyone immediately took out rice dumplings, pickles and water, and stuffed their stomachs.

He Wu's subordinates were eating when they suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

He moved to the back of the line in the dark, his eyes widened, and he realized that the fragrance was coming from the back.

Curious, he walked over.

I saw Shuangxi and Wang Long digging up canned beef with spoons and eating with rice.

boil...

He Wu's subordinates looked at the pickles in their hands, and suddenly their minds exploded: "Where did you get the canned food?"

Wang Long rolled his eyes: "I bought it."

"Can you afford canned food? Do you still have foreign language?"

This is a French product, and Zhao Chuanxin came by the way.

Wang Long finished the meal in two or three mouthfuls, and then took out a can of pudding: "Yes, my family has that condition."

If the family has that condition, I ask you if you are angry?

Eating canned pudding is much more elegant. When you dig in small mouthfuls with a spoon, you have to carefully sip it into your mouth, so that the sweetness gradually disappears before you swallow it.

He Wu's subordinates swallowed their saliva: "I'm so stupid, I'm so sloppy, bring it to me!"

Wang Long was taken aback, he couldn't understand the dialect.

Therefore, he looked at He Wu's subordinates like a fool, and at the same time continued to sip.

He Wu's subordinates were furious: "I told you to bring it to me, Ri Nong!"

Shuangxi coughed: "Brother, is this over? We brought our own dry food, so how can we give you some?"

"This is the army!" He Wu's subordinates emphasized: "On the march, everything belongs to the public."

In fact, Shuangxi also had a violent temper, but with Wang Long as a mirror, he kept restraining himself.

But the mud bodhisattva is still angry.

His eyes narrowed: "You fucking look at you with a big face and a flat belly when you talk, how dare you beg for food from us? You bastard, you're a fool, if you don't leave, you'll be pissed off!" !"

This time it was He Wu's turn to be confused.

Seeing this, Wang Long burst out laughing.

Brother Shuangxi was so impatient that he forgot that Battalion Commander Zhao had instructed him to try to speak as close to official Chinese as possible outside.

It was as if Wang Long didn't understand He Wu's words, but he knew he was swearing.

He Wu's subordinates also couldn't understand Shuangxi's words, and they also knew that he was swearing.

Relying on being He Wu's confidant and He Wu being the captain of the detachment, He Wu's subordinates pointed at Shuangxi and said angrily, "Are you fucking going to rebel?"

Shuangxi smiled instead: "You're right, I'm here to rebel against you."

He Wu's men: "..."

Was speechless.

He was furious, and just about to say something, he saw Shuangxi and Wang Long each carrying a fast gun on their backs. They were in excellent condition and looked brand new.

And around their waists, there are actually two sticks attached to each other.

When He Wu's subordinates saw this, their eyes immediately turned red: "Hand over the guns, who told you to take them..."
