In the tent, the new battalion officer Liao Dongzhi looked around at these people with some curiosity.

As an officer who has only recently officially integrated into the South China military system, naturally not many people know him, and he is happy to be idle, standing aside and watching these people socialize and socialize, and pull all kinds of relationships.

Those who pull fellow villagers, those who pull the same clan, those who pull classmates (political affairs hall and lecture hall), and those who gather together to show off each other's qualifications. What I am the first batch of soldiers recruited and trained by the lord back then, and the words rang out from time to time in these crowds.

Soon after Chen Tianhua officially entered the city of Guangzhou and set up a branch in the name of Li Shouhan, Liao Dongzhi's troops were announced by Chen Tianhua in the capacity of a volunteer and brave Xiong Wencan, the governor of Liangguang, announcing that this army would be included in the establishment of the Nanzhong Army, and asked the friendly forces of Liangguang not to misunderstand.

For such an official document, our Governor Xiong naturally follows it correctly. It is also helpless, in addition to the flower boats on the Pearl River, there are also naval gunboats of the Nanzhong Army, and on several hills, artillery positions have also been erected by the Nanzhong Army. The high-sounding statement is to strengthen the defense of Guangzhou City and prevent bandits from storming the city, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that these measures are only used to put pressure on the officialdom of Guangzhou.

So, naturally, there was a smart brain that turned fast, ran to the Xingyuan Yamen to hand over the notebook, report to the work, and asked the Nanzhong Army to quickly go to their own one-acre and three-point land to exterminate the bandits, so as to return the people of Li to a peaceful world.

For these, Governor Xiong doesn't want to care, and he doesn't bother to care, what he has to do is actually one thing, to make more money and more money before he leaves office. As long as you give me enough money. If you go to Li Shouhan, who is aiming to suppress bandits in Guangzhou, he will not care, even if you go to Zheng Zhilong's camp in Xiamen or even to the Dazheng Palace of Huang Taiji in Shenyang.

As a result, after Liao Dongzhi received a document stamped with a huge seal of customs defense, he became a member of the South China Army's bandit suppression force in Guangdong.

In addition to replacing the complete set of armor, knives and guns of the South Central Army, the whole army of the department also openly played the banner of the South Central Army, which made the dozens of chaotic armed forces around it suddenly frightened.

However, some people are very envious and have come to inquire about how they can become a member of the South China Army.

Among these people. Entrenched on the border of Fujian and Guangdong. Wu Liuqi, who has controlled more than a dozen counties, is the most enthusiastic one.

However, when Wu Liuqi's henchmen took Wu Liuqi's handwritten letters and gifts to find the camp of Liao Dongzhi's troops, they were very annoyed to learn from the left-behind personnel that Liao Dongzhi and Lord Liao had led two-thirds of his brothers on the ship to go to Nanzhong to be inspected and reorganized. The troops will also be re-equipped with weapons such as guns and artillery. I want to train for a period of time in Nanzhong.

"And with artillery. I want to give the fire gun again, this Nanzhong Army really regards Liao Dongzhi as his descendant!? In his own lair, Wu Liuqi listened to the return of his henchmen. I couldn't help but sit on the tiger skin chair and ponder for a while.

Those who have artillery and guns must be the authentic Nanzhong Army, this is already the common understanding of the armed forces of the two Guangzhou, and now Liao Dongzhi's whole army has been drawn to Nanzhong, and it is natural to accept these equipment and matching training.

Therefore, Liao Dongzhi, who was carrying the signature four-foot wood-chopping knife behind him, became an outlier at the cowpox planting conference.

"Tom!" A dull cannon sounded, changing the atmosphere inside and outside the tent.

"The lord is out!"

This is the impression in everyone's minds.

Sure enough, a burst of drum music sounded, and dozens of pro-soldiers held all kinds of official rank flags in their hands, "General Dragon and Tiger", "Ordered to supervise the affairs of the two Guangxi suppression", "Governor Nanzhong's various military horses, money and food affairs", "Imperial robes and honor guards", and various honor guards and guns that Chongzhen rewarded to the Han guards, appeared in front of everyone majestically.

"See the lord!"

Seeing that Shouhan appeared on the high platform wearing a four-clawed python robe and a golden crown on his head, the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians present let out a tsunami-like salute sound, which startled the unprepared Huang Da shopkeeper. The neat shouts of tens of thousands of people are undoubtedly from the heart, and the crowd of people who bow down like undulating waves is a scene he has never seen in many years of walking and doing business. The Ming mainland has never seen it. In Liaodong, the scale of what is seen is also a small amount compared to today, and most of the people, because of the fear of violent killing by force, bow to the person who represents the supreme violent authority, just to complete the worship of violence in their minds.

Shouhan led a child in each hand, it was a pair of small brothers and sisters or sisters among his children, and the two children each wore their own brocade robes, similar to a pair of jade dolls dressed up by their mother, Yan Mei'er.

Behind Shouhan, several slightly older sons and daughters appeared on the high platform one after another. Finally, Hua Yu and Hua Mei, the two oldest children.

When Li Huamei, who was dressed in the uniform of a non-commissioned officer of the Sailor Academy and looked heroic, appeared on the high platform, the crowd couldn't help but burst into a burst of cheers and cheers like thunder.

It was issued from the queue of students of the Lecture Martial Hall, and next to the students of the Lecture Martial Hall, there were also bursts of cheers and cheers in the queue of the Sailor Practice Fleet.

They were all cheering for Li Huamei.

In their minds, this woman wearing the uniform of the Martial Arts Naval Master School is not only the pearl of the lord's palm, but also their companion and comrade.

"No shame! Insulting Sven! Let your daughter come out and show her face and be in the company of vulgar martial artists, I really don't know where the etiquette and righteousness are! ”

In the cheers, there are also discordant notes.

The sharp eyes of several sturdy men exchanged in mid-air, and they understood each other, stepped forward in a few steps, and came to the few virtuous people who were constantly pointing out and evaluating all kinds of bad policies of the Southern Chinese Army.

Because of disgust, or fear of provoking right and wrong, the onlookers around consciously kept a certain distance from these people, and invisibly formed a small open space around these people.

Several men came to these scholars and bowed respectfully.

"Gentlemen, you're polite here."

I saw someone saluting to him. The group of people who usually think highly of themselves immediately found the feeling of looking forward to it for a long time, although they were ecstatic in their hearts, but they tried to put on a momentum that was above the top and annoying, "What's the matter? ”

"Our host has long admired a few gentlemen, and we plan to invite gentlemen to come over to talk about it, and maybe we will hire gentlemen to give advice for them."

Seeing that several companions had quietly gathered around these rotten people in front of him, the tone of the man who spoke was a little less respectful.

"Toot! What a shit proprietor you are! How dare you be so presumptuous! Treat people who read books like this?! ”

Several rotten Confucians also put on the posture of a scholar there, intending to overwhelm each other with the momentum of righteousness and rebellion, forcing the other party to have psychological inferiority and collapse. However. Misguided.

"If you are a reader, you can be so presumptuous. Then I am a reader, I know how to read, and I can write letters and keep accounts. I don't know how polite anyone is to me! ”

"That's it! Who hasn't read a book?! Lao Tzu is still one of the first students to enter the school! can be regarded as the protégé of the lord! Don't you still have to do what you should do for a living, what do you do for a living?! ”

There was a burst of cynicism in the crowd for a long time at these poor and rotten people.

Several men stepped forward and their faces trembled with anger, but they didn't know what to say. "Several. Come with us! There are benefits for you! ”

This little episode in the crowd. There were no waves in the sea of tens of thousands of people, and the vast majority of people still set their eyes on Li Shouhan's family on the high platform.

Unlike Li Muhua's background, Yan Mei'er is not from a high background. But it is a natural and irreplaceable role in the hearts of everyone. Although she does not care about specific political affairs, for many years she has only organized and led the female dependents of a group of high-ranking officials to save the dead and the wounded, seek medical treatment and deliver medicine, participate in the relief of displaced people, care for women and children, comfort whales, widows, lonely and sick, and often go deep into the fields and factory workshops, and is very famous among the people, especially women and children, and is known as a loving mother.

Because she doesn't care about specific political affairs, she only cares about charity and health undertakings, which is what makes Yan Meier feel cordial to everyone. In other words, for the sake of government and government, it has always been true that more is wrong, less is wrong, and it is not wrong not to do it.

Even those rotten Confucians, when they heard the reputation of Yan Mei'er's deeds, they had to praise "good" loudly, saying that this woman was sympathetic to the people, merciful and lonely, although she could not persuade her husband to do her best in the way of a saint, but every move, but she secretly coincided with the ancient wise woman, and the name of a loving mother was really worthy of the name, at most she scolded in private, this woman would really invite her husband to buy people's hearts, and the wolf bèi was a traitor and so on.

But on the bright side, they would never dare to openly say disrespectful words about Yan Mei'er and the medical and health charity she supervised, otherwise, they would really become the target of public criticism.

In the cities and towns of Tunbao in various cities and towns in Nanzhong, in the homes of hundreds of people, next to the tablets of the ancestors of Heaven and Earth, there are portraits of Li Shouhan and Yan Mei'er, as parents of food and clothing, regeneration benefactors and ancestors enjoy incense offerings together.

In the hearts of the military and the people, the general is a fairy-like figure, and his prestige in Nanzhong is well-known, like an optimus pillar, and he is full of words. However, the prestige is high, but people often dare not get close. And Yan Mei'er is gentle and generous, just like the image of the eldest sister-in-law in everyone's minds, everyone hopes to be able to talk to her, Lala is homely.

And her so-called humble background resonates in the hearts of many people, such a background can assist her husband to do such a career, she is really a virtuous woman. And gentle, virtuous, kind, and kind women are naturally more likely to make people feel close than women who are high and inoffensive.

The second rank of the wife ordered the wife to wear a formal suit, and the gold crown on her head gave her a faint graceful air, although she only followed her husband to lead a group of children to the stage, but it had already made the military and civilians in the audience cheer constantly.

Seeing the tsunami-like cheers in the audience, Shouhan was also quite useful, and the results of the 20 years of life and gathering have been revealed.

He pressed his hands down slightly, and immediately the flag-bearers on duty on both sides of the platform waved the flag in their hands, and when he landed, with the shaking of the flag, the crowd that was still cheering like thunder immediately became quiet.

"The general uses the military justice department to strangle the people, and tens of thousands of people listen to orders, among which there are even old and weak women and children, this discipline alone is inferior to the mainland officials and soldiers!" The shopkeeper Huang was a cold bystander in the crowd, and he couldn't help but admire.

"All the villagers, fathers and elders, and colleagues and comrades. Ladies and gentlemen, please! ”

Shouhan stood on the entrance of the stage and made a circle to the four foreign regiments, and the family members and children behind him also saluted and greeted the people, soldiers and civilians in the audience. Immediately, there was a burst of cheers and responses, and some older people hurriedly bowed to Li Shouhan on the stage.

"Everyone is here today because Shouhan invited him to come and watch the cowpox planting. Everyone knows that smallpox is rampant and has taken countless lives! The Han is not talented, but he also has to fight against this epidemic! Seek a way out for millions of soldiers and civilians in South China! Today, everyone will testify that if the children of this official plant cowpox, they will be fine within a few days. The children of the family members of the Shangguan, the director and others in the ranking were fine after planting. You can go to the nearest health center and take your household registration book to apply for cowpox planting! ”

"However, this official will say ugly things first, if your children are planted with cowpox. There are too many children in the family. I can't get enough to eat. Don't blame this official! ”

With a bit of a joke, the atmosphere in the venue immediately became much more relaxed. Everyone laughed for a while, "It's just that there are more debt collectors in the family." It's just the consumption of more firewood, rice, oil, salt, clothes, bedding! It's a big deal, Lao Tzu will work a few extra shifts in the workshop, do a few more jobs, and earn some overtime pay! ”

"That's it! The mother-in-law of my family has long been clamoring to go to the textile factory to be the textile girl, it's a big deal, a few boys and girls are sent to the school, and I let the mother-in-law go to work in the textile factory! ”

In whispers, the stage has begun to plant cowpox for Li Huamei, Li Huayu, Li Huawu, Li Huabao and others.

Lang Zhong used a glittering silver-handled knife to make a shallow cut on the left arm of several young masters and young ladies, dipped the pox pulp in a cotton swab, and applied it to the wound. Hua Yu also deliberately walked to the front of the stage, let the soldiers present take a look, and ordered him to announce it loudly to everyone in the audience.

"The eldest prince has already planted cowpox!"

In the blink of an eye, a group of children of Shouhan have finished planting pox, and then there are a group of female dependents and maids and other characters in the house, many of whom come from Tianzhu, Siam and other places.

"You guys are young, sharp-eyed, and you've taken a good look at me. It is important to see every step of the process of this acne clearly and remember it firmly. ”

The shopkeeper of Huang Da instructed a few young guys around him in the dialect of filial piety.

Then choose a few people who have pox, take a closer look, and see if it is like what General Li said. To put it simply, after planting, they will not be infected with smallpox, that is, eight out of 100 people will not be dyed, which is also a matter of countless merits for the living! ”

Having said that, but Huang Da's shopkeeper's mind was quickly calculating, if such a method could prevent smallpox from taking life like those who had not had pox, if his own business had this skill, then in the future, in Liaodong, in the Mongolian steppe, wouldn't he be treated as guests everywhere? Those Mongolian princes who have never had pox, Manchurian Beyler, in the face of their net worth and life, how can they be stingy with silver and silver?

As with any minority regime, one of the biggest headaches for the Manchus was that the population base was too small, and the human resources available for war were too thin. Therefore, the Manchu Qing leadership, led by Huang Taiji, has been implementing a policy, that is, constantly expanding the population. To the north, the Saurons, who plundered Heilongjiang and other places, acted as dead soldiers and used them for attrition. To the west, they formed a different alliance with the Mongols, either incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Mongols, or became a vassal of the Mongols, in order to expand the reach of their own army. To the south, in addition to plundering a large amount of grain, gold, silver, cloth, salt, iron and other materials, a large number of young and middle-aged people and women were also among the targets of plundering.

If smallpox, which kills a large number of Mongolians and Manchurians every year, can be contained, how much benefit the skill of pox can be exchanged for in front of Huang Taiji and the Manchu and Mongolian nobles, Huang Da's shopkeeper does not dare to think about it.

While thinking wildly, Li Shouhan's family on the stage did not know when they would go down, and a group of children of officials and generals came up from the tent. According to the rules of Fang Cai, every family is the official position of self-reported parents, the battalion or department where they are located, and every time at this time, there will be a burst of cheers and cheers from the audience, and the voice is often the voice of these officials and generals who are in charge of the department or subordinates.

Seeing the chief and superiors with their families and children appearing on the stage of cowpox planting to cheer for the lord, these subordinates naturally did not hesitate to applaud and cheer.

In the thunderous applause and cheers of his subordinates and his subordinates, the battalion officers of all battalions, the undertakers and proclamators of various departments and departments, and the general offices, deputy general offices, and offices of various companies and firms triumphantly completed this great act of marking their status with their families and children.

"It's not like any cat or dog can plant pox with the lord on this occasion!" Many people have this idea in their hearts.

And the people in the audience also had a lot of ideas, "Wait, if it is really as the brochure says, most people have a little uncomfortable reaction within ten days, and they will be fine after ten days, let's go to the nearest health center to plant the pox for our wives and children!" ”

The entire pox on-site conference was pushed from one climax to another in waves of cheers. It was rumored that if you plant cowpox, you will turn into a cow demon, grow horns, and make a cow cry, but it is self-defeating in the cheers again and again.

"Becoming a bull demon? The lives of the lord's children are more precious than anyone else, and the lives of our superiors (bosses) and their wives and children are also worth more than our children, they are not afraid, we are afraid of a bird?! (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry, Qingming Festival, accompanying the elderly and children, delaying the update. The friend who said that this book is a eunuch, your conclusion is a little too early.

Also, the discussion about the strength of pig's feet seems to be a bit cold?!
