"Father" shouted, a man in red uniform rushed over and helped the old man up.
"Stop" another soldier beside him yelled into the teahouse at the same time.
Several soldiers behind him also drew their swords and blocked the teahouse door.
The man in the red uniform was named Wang.
He was the son of the old man and a former member of the Tianjin Guard.
Now he is also a sentry commander in the Shun Army, and most of the dozen soldiers under his supervision are his former subordinates.
However, after the reorganization, his immediate boss was replaced by a department manager from Shaanxi.
The sentry commander in black clothes and armor poked his head out and saw that the other party's uniforms were red and black, so he sneered and said, "Which brigade are you from?
How dare you make such a fuss here."
"We are members of the Seventh Division of Team B of the C-Zi Battalion.
Why did you harass and smash up the home of our sentry commander?
Do you still have the military law of the Dashun Tianjun in your eyes?"
Wang De selected the next soldier and said.
The black-clothed sentry general said disapprovingly: "This sentry is acting under military orders.
Why is there no military law here?
General Guo Yi's military orders are military law.
Do you know who I am?
I am from the military camp.
Your commander Li Shunli is still me.
Brought out.”
At this time, one of his soldiers found a wooden box under the counter, opened it and saw that there were about seven or eight taels of broken silver inside.
Hand it to the commander.
The black-clothed whistleblower poured the money into his pocket and said, "Originally, I was going to collect at least twenty taels.
For Li Shunli's sake, I'll just collect this much.
Brothers, move away and collect it."
The next one.”
When he walked out of the door, he saw Wang De's soldiers blocking the door with their swords shaking.
Then he rolled his eyes and said, "Why, now the Dashun has been surrendered, and you guys want to rebel again?"
"Get out of the way, let them go," Wang Dexuan shouted loudly with red eyes.
"Big brother" "I said get out of the way and let them go."
The brothers who were selected by the king had to put away their swords and step aside.
Zhu Youjian reviewed the troops about to go out on the school field in Xingcheng.
Five hundred men in canvas uniforms and iron helmets were ready to go, with Dreiser rifles slung on their shoulders and Colt revolvers and bayonets slung around their waists.
Carrying a combat backpack made of leather and canvas on his back.
Zhu Youjian asked Xia Hua, who was also wearing a canvas uniform, "Xia Qing, these soldiers were trained by the foreigners for you, right?
I think their uniforms are somewhat similar to the foreigners."
"Your Majesty, I was not trained by the foreigners.
But I did train them by following the foreigner training methods."
At this time, Zhu Youjian, who discovered that all the soldiers had long hair, asked in surprise: "Hey!
Why have their hair been shaved off?
The hair and skin of the body are given to parents and dare not be damaged.
This is the beginning of filial piety.
We Chinese people The people value loyalty, filial piety, propriety and justice, so this is very inappropriate.”
"Your Majesty.
This is to prevent the spread of plague in the army.

During long-term marches, the army rarely has time and conditions to bathe.
If you grow your hair in this way, it is easy to get lice, and lice are an important way to spread the plague."
"I see, the military is still the most important thing.
There is no need to stick to trivial matters when doing great justice.
But, Uncle Gui Yi, you have to rely on these hundreds of soldiers to take down the three Tianjin guards, plus the guards in Abacus City, and the guards for shipping and water transportation.
Together we have soldiers There are more than 20,000 people, even if you exclude the empty wages, there are at least more than 10,000 people.
These more than 10,000 people have now surrendered to the rebel army, and their strength is twenty times yours.
This does not include the Tianjin rebel army whose strength is unknown.
"Zhu Youjian asked a little doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, these five hundred soldiers are enough.
In order to ensure your Majesty's safety, I will try to keep as many troops in the city as possible."
Hearing Xia Hua's words, Zhu Youjian felt relieved.
He secretly thought that five hundred soldiers could capture Abacus City, and it would not be a problem for the more than two thousand soldiers left in the city to defend the 100,000-strong bandit army.
At the north gate of Abacus City, the soldiers on the tower saw a column of military troops with white flags approaching the city gate from a distance, and quickly sent out a warning signal.
A large number of crossbowmen and musketeers stepped up to the tower, held bows and arrows, and loaded muskets to provide warning.
When this group of strangely dressed soldiers were traveling more than 150 steps away from the city gate, a cavalry sentry led a few riders out of the city and stopped them for questioning.
"Stop, don't go any further, otherwise the bows and guns will be fired from the top of the city.
Which army do you belong to and why are you here?"
Xia Hua squinted his eyes and saw that the crossbowmen and gunmen at the top of the city were all ready.
If your team moves forward sixty or seventy steps, they will enter their shooting range.
Xia Hua took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, handed it to the other party and said, "I have received a letter from General Guo Yi, and I have led my troops to surrender to Dashun."
This piece of paper is exactly the surrender letter brought by the three shun army messengers not long ago.
Xia Hua's hand was already on Colt's handle, and he would draw his gun and shoot as long as the situation was not right.
He didn't know Li Laiheng's reaction to the missing three soldiers, and he pretended to surrender just to try his luck.
As long as the opponent makes any move that makes him suspicious, he will change his strategy and launch a strong attack.
Behind the team were four eight-mule carts, dragging four Hongyi cannons unloaded from the Tianjin Youwei four-corner fort.
The barrels are all loaded.
I believe that with four cannons, the temporarily closed city gate of Tianjin Guard can be blasted open.
Star City can produce artillery comparable to Napoleon cannons and generate more specialized artillery.
But now Xia Hua doesn't have that many points.
All the rewards for rescuing Zhu Youjian were used to generate infantry and cavalry.
Therefore, we can only use relatively primitive artillery such as the Hongyi Cannon.
"Oh, it turns out he surrendered.
Why did he come here?"
"My mother was sick a few days ago and needs to be taken care of at home."
"What's that pulling behind?"
the commander asked, pointing to the four-horse and eight-mule cart covered by raincloth behind.
"It's the food, grass and baggage stored in the right guard city, specially brought to General Li Laiheng."
The Shunjun cavalry sentry general rolled his eyes, nodded and said: "Generals above the general banner will follow me to see General Guo Yi.
The other generals need to wait outside the city.
We will send personnel to receive the reorganization."
Then he said to The people at the top of the city yelled with all their strength: "Those who come to surrender should not use their bows or muskets."
Xia Hua turned his head and glanced at his own generals, mentally rehearsing all possible scenarios several times.
He said softly: "General, come out and follow me into the city."
More than twenty generals came out, and Xia Hua followed these loyal soldiers towards the city.

Not long after they left, the remaining soldiers lined up facing the city wall.
Squatting on the ground with a rifle in his arms.
These actions did not arouse the vigilance of the army at the top of the city.
No individual firearm could have a range beyond this distance.
Instead, they relaxed and put away their bows and guns.
Chatted with each other.
Of course, what was most talked about was the strangeness of the troops under the city.
Behind the gate of the city, nearly two hundred soldiers gathered, some of whom were holding shackles and shackles, just waiting for the opponent to take them into custody as soon as they entered the city
