The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Sister Yun, you don't need to be too polite, what happened before will remain the same in the future."

Daiyu smiled and asked, "Brother, are you going to send monthly allowances to Sister Yun in the future?"

Lin Yun: "Naturally. I will go back and tell Sister Ping'er that Sister Yun will be like you in the future, and the maids around her will also receive a monthly payment in our house."

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said: "No need, the ancestor asked Sister-in-law Feng to send us monthly money on time."

Lin Yun said with a smile: "The old ancestor has too many people to take care of, so he can take care of you in everything. Later, I will ask the second brother Lian to tell the old ancestor that your future expenses will be paid from our house, so you don't have to worry about Sister-in-law Feng."

Jia Min: "Girl Yun, I will listen to your elder brother from now on. The old lady is old after all, so let Yun'er do these things for her."

Shi Xiangyun said gratefully: "My daughter respects her life."

Daiyu stood up, took Shi Xiangyun's little hand and said, "Sister Yun, I will accompany you to pick out the yard and find one that suits your wishes."

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said, "I'll just live in the original courtyard."

"That yard is too small, let's look again and pick the one that suits you,"

As Daiyu spoke, she pulled Shi Xiangyun out, and several maidservants hurriedly followed, surrounded the two girls and left together.

Practice 皡锱鮺violation 2 Chapter Ninety: Poaching corners

In the morning of the next day, Lin Yun was ordered to lead fifty soldiers to the martial field of Ximen School, where the competition with the guards of the British Mission would be held here.

The Ximen School Martial Arts Field is the training place for the garrison troops in the capital. It covers an area of ​​tens of acres, and the martial arts field can accommodate thousands of soldiers.

When Lin Yun led his people here, he saw that the gate of the school martial arts field was heavily guarded, with dozens of soldiers on duty outside the gate.

Seeing them coming, a young officer ran over with a knife in his hand, rushed to Lin Yun who was ahead and asked, "May I ask if you are the Imperial Academy's Master Lin?"

Lin Yun took out the official document of the Ministry of War from his pocket, and handed it to the other party, "This is Lin Yun, this is the official document issued by the Ministry of War, please have a look."

The man took the document, and after reading it, he handed it back to Lin Yun and said, "Prince Xuan has an order to let the humble official lead you in."

Lin Yun asked as he walked: "Has the old prince arrived early?"

"Yes. Besides Prince Xuan, Prince Zhongshun and others have also arrived."

"Has the foreigner come?"

"Three foreigners came here, as if they came to inspect the venue."

While talking, everyone followed the officer through a long corridor, and then walked around two rows of houses, and saw a large empty field in front of them.

Before Lin Yun could take a closer look, he saw another group of soldiers running over and blocking their way.

A majestic middle-aged general ran over quickly and asked them, "Which of you is Lin Daizhao?"

Lin Yun took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "This is Lin Yun, may I ask your general's name?"

"The general's surname is Zhao Mingquan, and he is currently the deputy commander of the internal guard. Lin Daizhao, you come with me. Prince Xuan is waiting for you."

"Thank you."

...

On the stage of the school martial arts field, Prince Xuan, Prince Zhongshun, Wang Ziteng and others are talking with several British military officers.

Seeing Lin Yun bringing people over, Prince Xuan quickly waved to him and said, "Boy Yun, you're here just in time. This bullshit translator talks so confusingly that I get angry when I hear it. It's better that you come and help us translate."

Lin Yun gave Lu Mingyuan a few words of advice, asking him to restrain the soldiers and prevent them from running around.

After saying that, he quickly ran up to the general platform.He saluted the two princes respectively.

Prince Xuan said impatiently: "They are all men in the army, not so particular. Boy Yun, ask the foreigners what they want to do?"

Lin Yun hurriedly rushed to the three British officers facing him and asked, "Which of you is in charge?"

A middle-aged officer with the rank of colonel said to Lin Yun: "Mr. Lin, I am the commander of the mission's guard, named Kasong. I want to know the rules of the martial arts competition and how to judge the winner?"

Lin Yun translated Colonel Kasong's words to Lord Xuan and the others.

Prince Xuan was overjoyed when he heard that, and he told Lin Yun, "Tell them, each side sends 100 people to compete, and if all the soldiers on one side are beaten to the ground, they will admit defeat."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "My lord, we only have 50 people here."

Prince Xuan: "You don't have to worry, boy, the Ministry of War has ordered Qin Rong to lead fifty soldiers to come to participate in the competition."

Lin Yun immediately became depressed when he heard the words, cooperating with him for a long time yesterday, not only did Qin Rong have nothing to do, but he also had the opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor and foreigners, so his effort was in vain.

After listening to Lin Yun's translation, several foreigners gathered together and muttered a few words, and then the colonel named Ben Song said to Lin Yun: "Mr. Lin, please tell those ministers that we agree with your country's proposed martial arts competition." Conditions. However, we also have a small request."

Lin Yun hurriedly said, "Please tell me."

Casson: "Our request is that soldiers from both sides can compete with each other with wooden sticks, so that they can look more gentlemanly."

After listening to Lin Yun's translation, Prince Xuan hurriedly asked him again: "Boy Yun, if it were a stick competition, would the guys you trained win?"

Lin Yun: "Although I dare not say that I can win 100% of the time, there is still a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning."

"Then promise them."

"Yes."

...

While the few people were talking, they saw a servant running over quickly and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty is here."

Everyone turned their heads and saw Emperor Zhide walking slowly towards this side surrounded by many officials.

Behind Emperor Zhide, there are King Beijing, Hou Zhongjing, three big bosses in the cabinet, six ministers, ministers and others.

Of course, Niu Jizong, Qin Rong and others, the leaders of the Beijing camp, are also indispensable.

What surprised Lin Yun the most was that he actually saw Lin Ruhai in the crowd. He was exchanging words with the two envoys accompanying the British Mission.

Lin Yun did not follow the two princes to visit the emperor, he quickly ran to Lin Ruhai and asked him, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Lin Ruhai: "Your Majesty ordered me to meet the envoys of Great Britain, so that we can deal with them in the future."

As soon as Lin Yun heard it, he understood that the British merchants could only do business in Guangdong.

...

At this time, George Macartney smiled at Lin Yun: "Mr. Lin, I heard that the soldiers who competed with our British soldiers today were all your subordinates, right?"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "That's right. Those people were trained by me without any care. Please be merciful, Lord Earl, and don't let them lose too embarrassingly."

George Macartney said triumphantly: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will let them show mercy."

"Old foreign devil, let you be proud for a while, and see if you can still laugh later."

Lin Yun was feeling bad, when he saw Thomas Staunton emerge from the crowd and greeted him, "Lin, I can't believe that you were a general."

"A general who has never played before is not worth mentioning at all."

"That's not easy! Since the emperor of your country can let the soldiers you train compete with our British soldiers, it means that the soldiers you train are very powerful. However, they look too thin, and I'm afraid they can't beat us Soldiers of Great Britain."

Lin Yun: "Who is the winner, we will not know until the end of the competition."

...

At this moment, a servant ran over and said to Lin Yun, "Lin Daizhao, Your Majesty orders you to meet him."

"Yes."

After Lin Yun bid farewell to several people, he followed the servant to the Dianjiang platform and saw Emperor Zhide talking to a Mongolian.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "My humble minister Lin Yun pays my respects to Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhide raised his hand and said, "Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhide: "I heard that you went to Zuowuwei yesterday and didn't recruit 100 people?"

Lin Yun glanced at Qin Rong who was standing behind Zhide Emperor, bowed and said, "I didn't see General Qin at Zuowuwei camp yesterday, so I brought 50 people back first."

Emperor Zhide: "General Qin has sent you back the 50 missing people. Next, I and the ministers will look at you."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion will never disappoint His Majesty."

"Then go down and prepare, I'll wait for your good news."

"The minister respects the order."

...

Lin Yun quickly ran down the platform and came to the soldiers. He was about to call for someone when he saw Ding Yuannan standing in front of the team.

He hurriedly asked, "Brother Yuan Nan, what are you doing here when you're not in the army to nourish your wounds?"

Ding Yuannan: "I want to fight side by side with my brothers."

Lin Yun said anxiously: "Are you crazy? If the wound is torn and bleeding excessively, you will probably die."

Ding Yuannan gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, but brothers are fighting with foreigners, how can I, the chief general, escape in battle?"

Lu Mingyuan: "General, let General Ding fight with us, we will protect him well."

Cheng Daniu patted his chest and said, "General, don't worry, I will protect General Ding and never let foreign devils hurt a hair of his head."

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "General, let General Ding Shen fight with us."

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I can agree to your request. However, you must also promise me that you must defeat the foreign devils."

Ding Yuannan said firmly: "General, rest assured, our soldiers from the Fourth Battalion of Zuowuwei will never embarrass you."

After speaking, he raised his arms and shouted: "Defeat the foreign devils!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Defeat the foreign devils!"

The shouts from this side alarmed Colonel Kasson, who was mobilizing before the war on the other side. He hurriedly called the interpreter and asked him, "What are they shouting for?"

The translator explained with embarrassment: "They are shouting to beat the foreign devils."

Colonel Kasson asked suspiciously, "What are foreign devils?"

"Foreign devils are, they are~"

The translator thought for a long time before saying: "It's just a curse word."

Colonel Casson said angrily: "These Chinese are too hateful, you don't have to keep your hands later, you must give them a good lesson."

"Yes, sir Colonel."
