mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 92 My name is Miao Cuihua

Leaving Lugang Town, also exercised Zhao Zhongyi's mind.

But it never occurred to me that the first county magistrate had the courage to convene people to make a fuss.Second, how did Koryo and the others repel [-] officers and soldiers.

Liu Baogui spoke sharply and gave a general introduction.

Five hundred officers and soldiers are not equal to five hundred foreign guns.

When the magistrate found five hundred officers and soldiers, someone immediately tipped off and informed Zhao Zhongyi of the matter.

Zhao Zhongyi immediately took Zhu Jianye and the others to build fortifications and intercept them on the road.

When the officers and men arrived, they did nothing but shoot behind the fortifications and that was it.

After they killed more than 20 people with three rounds of guns, the officers and soldiers lost their positions and began to flee.

After that, they simply rushed out, and the officers and soldiers lost their courage, turned around and fled.

Zhao Chuanxin found it funny when he heard it, and laughed at Zhao Zhongyi and others for being bold, and also laughed at the fact that the combat power of the officers and soldiers in the state capital had dropped too much after Chengming left.

If Cheng Ming led the team here, they would not be repelled so easily.

But this incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for Zhao Chuanxin.

Originally, when Lugang Town was still Lugangling Village, a dozen of them were enough. If they couldn't fight, they would fight guerrilla warfare, ambush warfare, and night raid warfare.But now it has become Lugang Town, more than ten people are not enough.

In the future, there will be more and more people here, and more than ten people will not be enough.

He thought for a while and said: "In this way, you select a group of young men in the town, and first expand the official members of the insurance team to 40 people. After that, you choose 50 people to be militiamen. The militiamen train twice a month with live ammunition. Tasks, what to do, and a salary of one silver dollar per person every six months. In wartime, they will be called together if needed, and the salary and pension will be calculated separately.”

Zhao Zhongyi nodded: "It's time to expand. These years are getting more and more chaotic, and it's hard to protect ourselves if there are fewer people. Since you said that the Japanese will eventually win, we have to prepare in advance."

Although Zhao Zhongyi usually does a good job, but Zhao Chuanxin is not around, and everyone always feels as if the backbone is missing.

But as soon as he came back, everyone's spirits were lifted immediately.

After explaining this, Zhao Chuanxin took Li Guangzong home to have a look.

Outside the courtyard, there are low wooden railings, which have been painted.Trees were planted outside according to Zhao Chuanxin's idea.In the courtyard, flowers are planted in the flower pool ruled by stone slabs.

The left part of the original house is connected to two new houses.On the right is a tool room with a sloping roof.In addition, a stable and firewood shed and storage were built.

Moreover, his original windows were enlarged twice, and the area of ​​each glass remained the same, but there were more panes.

Naturally, such a large window cannot be fully opened, only one can be opened and closed.

Zhao Chuanxin is quite satisfied.

Li Guangzong looked at this house and this small courtyard, it was really well built.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the room in the middle and said to him, "Well, you can be my housekeeper in the future. You can live there!"

Li Guangzong didn't dare to refute at all. Ever since he saw Zhang Zuolin's various unsolved mysteries that day, he was afraid of Zhao Chuanxin.

Since you dare not resist, then follow blindly.

When I walked to the room that belonged to me, I opened the door and entered, and a smell of wood and varnish came out.

The polished floor, brand new furniture, and small but glass windows made Li Guangzong stunned.

Will he live here from now on?
Unlike Zhao Chuanxin's room, this room has a kang.

Don't care about cooking so much, when I got home, I immediately went back to the house with tranquility.

It is also homesick.

The home is clean and spotless.

Apparently, it was often cleaned.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open and entered.

The person who came was a charming-looking woman with no bound feet and not so shabby clothes.

The most important thing is that Zhao Chuanxin found that there was a little girl behind her.

This little girl, Zhao Chuanxin, was very impressed and even gave her a steamed bun at that time.

Seeing that there were people in the room, the woman was startled, but she didn't cry out. After being stunned for a moment, she bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Cheng, I'm here to clean."

She also remembered who Zhao Chuanxin was.

However, the impression of "Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand-Cheng Kun" is still in her head.

Zhao Chuanxin was amused: "My name is not Cheng Kun, that's my pseudonym when playing outside, my name is Zhao Chuanxin."

Living in Lugang Town, it is impossible not to have heard of the name Zhao Chuanxin.

Instead, the woman said "ah" this time: "Are you Captain Zhao?"

The little girl blinked: "Captain Zhao, my name is Jiang Mingxin, and this is my mother."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't pay attention to this woman at the time, but the little girl left a deep impression on him.

Children of this era look thin, dry, and dark.Children from rich families are fairer, but girls always comb their foreheads, which is ugly.

This little girl is different, with bangs combed and a round face, she looks very cute.And he is extremely courageous.

But looking at the woman at this time, I found that she was no longer as dirty as before, and she was also combing the "central style" of ordinary women.But it looks very charming, and even though he is wearing loose clothes, Zhao Chuanxin is at least protruding and backward judging from his profound skill "Dharma Eye".

So, Zhao Chuanxin asked: "What about your father?"

woman:"……"

The little girl said: "My father and we are separated."

The past few years have not been peaceful, and it is common for relatives to be separated.

Zhao Chuanxin asked the woman again: "What's your name?"

Women have heard many legends about Zhao Chuanxin, but the rumors are all positive comments, and no one will elaborate on Zhao Chuanxin's character, words and deeds.

Only then did I realize that Captain Zhao was really outspoken.

But she felt she had to answer: "My name is Miao Cuihua."

Zhao Chuanxin was drinking water, and spit out: "Ahem, do you know martial arts?"

"Martial arts? I don't know martial arts! I can cook!"

Can cook?There are many people who know how to cook, but those who can say that they know how to cook must be able to cook, right?Even if it doesn't work, it should be fine to adjust and adjust.

Zhao Chuanxin asked her, "Where do you live now?"

"In the shack at the entrance of the town."

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the side and said: "Since you come to clean every day, you must know that there are two vacant rooms, right? The one in the middle is my housekeeper, so you can take your daughter to live in the next room. I will give it to me in the future." I will pay you for cooking, washing clothes and cleaning the room. Now go buy some daily necessities and bring them to my housekeeper Li."

With that said, he threw out five oceans casually.

This time he made a lot of money, just a little money.

Surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, that house looked so beautiful, clean and bright, who would want to live in a shack?

This captain Zhao is too generous, just five oceans, it seems that he will not starve or suffer from cold in the future.
