Qiao Zhiqing looked at the gourd coldly, Tie Qing didn't speak, but just ordered his subordinates to tie him up and wait for disposal."
Brother Qiao, thanks to your reminder this time, otherwise the eldest brother's face will be planted.Big brother has offended you a lot before, and I hope you don't take it to heart.Where the big brother is useful in the future, just say a word. ”Liu Mingchuan turned his face a little ashamed and saluted Qiao Zhiqing with a fist."
What did the eldest brother say, I know that you were instigated by Cai Yuanlong before, how dare the younger brother blame the eldest brother.If the eldest brother has any difficulties in the future, even if he speaks, the younger brother will definitely be duty-bound. ”Qiao Zhiqing still admires Liu Mingchuan in his heart."
Alright, leave it at that."
Liu Mingchuan was not polite, stepped on the horse and took the soldiers of the "Inscription Battalion" who rushed to support, and escorted the rebels back to the camp.Qiao Zhiqing turned around and ordered Wang Shumao to clean up the battlefield and continue to practice.The soldiers had just seen a bloody battle of life and death, and they unconsciously had a practical understanding of the battlefield, and they were all less playful and much more serious."
Young master, what should I do with that dog" Ma Xun looked at the man in front of him in disgust, lying on the ground like a dog and kowtowing and begging for mercy."
You take a team of men and horses to escort him, and we'll go see Vier."
Although he caught the murderer, Qiao Zhiqing did not have a trace of joy in his heart, and rode on his horse and ran towards Li Weier's grave with a melancholy face.Ma Xun followed closely with someone escorting the gourd."
Wei'er, I've come to see you, are you still used to living here alone" Qiao Zhiqing got off the horse, took out the sacrifice and placed it in front of Li Wei'er's grave."
I brought you the murderer, and your revenge can be avenged.There's bad news for you, Father Lee, he's gone, and he's gone peacefully, and I didn't bother him.If you see him below, and make amends to him for me, say that I have not taken good care of his daughter, and that you would not have died if it had not been for me. ”Qiao Zhiqing stroked Li Weier's tombstone, and his heart began to hurt again, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and was silent for a long time.Ma Xun arrived with the gourd, and the gourd was lying behind Qiao Zhiqing like mud, and he couldn't help it."
Hulu, I actually don't like to kill people, especially dog-like things like you, I'm afraid that killing you will dirty my hands."
Qiao Zhiqing didn't look at the gourd, just stroked Li Weier's tombstone, and his expression was very calm."
Yes, yes, Brother Qiao, I am Cai Yuanlong's dog, you can let me go as a dog, my gourd is not worthy of letting you use a knife."
Seeing Qiao Zhiqing's calm tone, Hulu thought that he had a chance to live, so he snorted his head at Qiao Zhiqing."
Hulu, your acting is good, if it weren't for Zhang Xian, I would never have thought that you would stab you in the back."
Qiao Zhiqing looked at the gourd with a cold face."
Zhang Xian, how could he know my identity," Hulu looked surprised.Qiao Zhiqing took out the wolf tooth from his arms and smashed it on the gourd's face, and said contemptuously, "The first time he saw you in the Huotou Room, he knew your identity, you won't even know this" "This is this, how is it in your hands" The gourd knew that he couldn't live, and his face was like ashes."
Why is Li Wei'er and you innocent, why do you want to kill her" A trace of killing intent flashed in Qiao Zhiqing's eyes."
Miss Li didn't kill me, it's Cai Yuanlong.That day, Miss Li bumped into me and Cai Yuanlong in Anqing City, it was Cai Yuanlong who was afraid that she would leak the news, and pitied her beauty, so he found a place where no one was there and raped her, I persuaded him at the time, but he just didn't listen, and I couldn't help it, Brother Qiao. ”Because of the excessive fright, the gourd's whole body trembled even when he was crying and shouting, and his crotch was also wet.Qiao Zhiqing's eyes seemed to see Li Weier's helpless and humiliating eyes when she was dying, and her ears seemed to hear Li Weier's pleading voice of pity and pain, as if a voice had been shouting, Brother Qiao, help me, Brother Qiao, I don't want to die yet."
Bring a knife."
Qiao Zhiqing let out a loud sigh, patted the soil on his hand and stood up."
No, don't, Qiao Zhiqing, you can't kill me.You said that when we enter the barracks, we are brothers, and brothers cannot kill each other. ”The gourd cried and shook his head like crazy."
You are also afraid of death, you are also worthy of mentioning the word brother to me, the five military regulations, death by burning and killing looters, death by raping women, death by fratricide, which one of you is a capital crime, reincarnate as a good person in the next life, don't be a dog anymore."
Qiao Zhiqing took the big knife, and as soon as the blade turned, it slashed downward.A bloody color flashed in the sun, and when the gourd's head rolled down like a watermelon, its eyes were wide with horror until death.A month had passed, and Li Hongzhang came to inspect Qiao Zhiqing's "Qingzi Battalion" with the generals and officers of the 15 battalions of the Huai Army on time.After quelling Cai Yuanlong's rebellion, Liu Mingchuan and Qiao Zhiqing suddenly became like brothers, and specially took a sentry of the "Inscription Battalion" to cheer for Qiao Zhiqing.The review stand is set up under the corridor of the church in the front yard, and the front yard is lined up by the soldiers of the "inscription battalion" holding colorful flags one after another, and they circle the courtyard in a mighty way.The four sentinels of the "Qingzi Battalion" were 432 people, with 100 firehead soldiers, Changfu, and medical soldiers, a total of 532 people, divided into six review teams, led by Wang Shumao and Ma Xun, and walked to the east of the review stand to get ready.Qiao Zhiqing smiled at the review stand and introduced the composition and weapons and equipment of the battalion to Li Hongzhang and the battalion officers.The soldiers of the whole battalion were all dressed in black horse coats, and all the generals who had been referred to laughed secretly."
Report to Battalion Commander Qiao, the soldiers of the whole battalion have been assembled, please instruct."
Wang Shumao trotted over, stood upright, saluted, and stood straight.It was completely set up by Qiao Zhiqing in accordance with the drill etiquette of modern infantry, and the generals of the battalions who only watched it were stunned and inexplicable."
Let's get started."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled in return."
Yes" Wang Shumao replied loudly and trotted home."
All have an order, step up, go" Wang Shumao held the knife and roared, six review teams stepped in turn, a team of more than 100 people stepped at the same time, and the crystal chandeliers in the church shook only to shake.The first team was Qiao Zhiqing's old brother brought from Shanxi, led by Wang Shumao and Ma Xun holding the camp flag, all of them holding British-made "Enfield" rifles, the formation was neat and coordinated, the pace was vigorous and powerful, and the military appearance was imposing.The second team is the first batch of wharf people recruited in Anqing, led by the outpost chief Wang Shijie, only one team in the team is issued with foreign guns, and the rest of the soldiers are all issued with wooden sticks with bayonets.The bayonet was designed by Qiao Zhiqing himself, about two feet long, and a blood groove was engraved on it.Customized by the Anqing Ordnance Institute, it was equipped with troops just after completion.Founded by Zeng Guofan after the capture of Anqing last year, the Anqingnei Ordnance Institute gathered a large number of famous scientific and technological experts, such as Xu Shou and Hua Hengfang, to manufacture bullets, gunpowder, and guns for the Hunan army by hand.Qiao Zhiqing got acquainted with Xu Shou through Li Hongzhang, and originally wanted to ask him to make some guns and bullets for himself, but the output of the ordnance institute was very small, and it was specially produced for the Hunan army, and finally under Qiao Zhiqing's repeated requests, he built 500 military bayonets for himself.The third, fourth, and fifth teams were led by Liu Fu, the commander of the rear post, Liu Lu, the chief of the left post, and Liu Shou, the chief of the right post, respectively.The sixth team is led by Langzhong Li Jishi, and is composed of the fire head army, the Changfu team, and the medical team.After the death of Father Joseph Needham, in addition to a few old mothers, the young and beautiful nuns were not willing to be lonely, so Qiao Zhiqing was assigned to the army, followed Li Jishi to learn medical skills, and was responsible for helping the wounded in the rear.The six teams walked past the review stand in turn, and they all turned their heads and shouted, "Li Dashuai is hard, Li Dashuai is hard", but Qiao Zhiqing's name was not mentioned.This was deliberately arranged by Qiao Zhiqing, in order to show loyalty to Li Hongzhang and not let him be too wary of himself.This trick really worked, the mustache on Li Hongzhang's mouth was happily curled, and he kept waving to the audience, and praised Qiao Zhiqing to the generals again and again.The generals on the review stand all had their own concerns, some had calm faces and did not show their faces, some frowned tightly and had thousands of thoughts, and some were disdainful and laughed at themselves.But one thing is certain, everyone has a new understanding of Qiao Zhiqing's ability, although I don't know where he learned the etiquette of so many foreigners, but it can be seen that he is indeed a difficult general."
Good, good, good."
After the review was completed, Li Hongzhang said three good words in a row, and then returned to the government with his entourage, and the generals who had read it also returned to the camp.Only Liu Mingchuan stayed and exchanged a few words with Qiao Zhiqing, reminding Qiao Zhiqing that since ancient times, women have to teach their husbands and children at home, and it is too untraditional and contrary to etiquette to go to the battlefield, so Qiao Zhiqing should consider withdrawing the medical team.Qiao Zhiqing shirked it, sent Liu Ming away with a smile, and instructed Ma Xun to reward all the brothers of the "Inscription Battalion" who came to cheer, only to be so happy that all the soldiers were brave, and the soldiers of the two battalions got along a little more amicably.Sending off the guests, Qiao Zhiqing greatly praised the performance of the soldiers on the review stand, originally he taught Wang Shumao the training methods of these modern armies, and did not expect him to bring out a modern army in a month, but he did not expect Wang Shumao to be a natural general who led the troops, and fully understood Professor Qiao Zhiqing's training methods, and gave Qiao Zhiqing a big face.Qiao Zhiqing announced in public the new personnel appointments: a new wing commander and captain were promoted and appointed from all posts, and the captain was appointed by the outstanding Huaixiang soldiers, and the command of the grassroots level was handed over to the Huaixiang children again to show their trust.The old brothers from Shanxi were transferred back to form a pro-soldier team directly under Qiao Zhiqing, and the captain was Hu Wenhai, the captain of which was the dart master.Hu Wenhai is a member of Shanxi Yuci people, in his early years, he followed Wang Shumao's father to the north and south, he was honest and brave, proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and was the third master of the Tongxing Public Dart Bureau, which was a generation older than Wang Shumao.Li Hongzhang, the official of Anqing Mansion, entered the study under Zhou Fu's service, and he still praised Qiao Zhiqing non-stop."
Dashuai, you've laughed all the way, be careful of your body."
Zhou Fu was also very happy, smiling like Li Hongzhang."
Brother Yushan, you said that my Huai army is like a Qingzi battalion, why worry about the traitors who will not be destroyed, why worry about the invasion of foreign enemies, why worry about my Qing Dynasty not prospering" Li Hongzhang breathed a long sigh of relief, sat down at the desk, and sighed with emotion."
Don't forget Qiao Zhiqing's identity, his subordinates have investigated clearly, Qiao Zhiqing's second brother is Qiao Zhiyuan, the current champion of the dynasty, who has just gone to Yan'an Mansion to become the prefect, and Qi Junzao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the court, is his fellow townsman and teacher, if this son is too powerful, it will inevitably be unfavorable to the status of the marshal in the court
