Chapter 133: Heading north along the river
Yu Ci Yong was the first to dare to fight in Manchuria, led by the Jiaxi, acting Gu'an Flag Counselor and the eleventh leader of the Eight Banners of Gu'an Garrison with Blue Flags, Guo Xing'a, and left the Jiangnan camp in a gloomy manner. Although the coach and the spring led the generals to see him off in person, Guo Xing'a was still gray, and this time he was too drunk.
Walking to Yangzhou with a frown, Guo Xing'a recovered a little. However, he was still scolded by Saishan, who knelt on the ground to represent his cheap father, and covered his face. Saishan'a, who escorted the baggage to Yangzhou in advance, heard about the heroic deeds of "Guoyun Idle Wine Battle Nanjing, Shence Gate Eagle Laughing Against the King" at the first time, and knelt at the gate of Yangzhou City with Huiyang's tablet early in the morning, blocking Guoxing'a, who was out of the realm of wine.
Yangzhou's civil and military officials are still very face-saving, except for the self-respecting identity of the Yangzhou prefect did not appear, other civil and military officials rushed to the dock together, to see off Guoxing'a, who had no friendship, but the civil and military officials who met Guoxing'a were quite disappointed. These people have long heard of Guo Xing'a who "Guoyun is drinking and fighting in Nanjing, and Shence Gate Carving is laughing against the king", and they thought that he must be a mighty man with a body length of eight feet and a face like a heavy jujube, but what they saw was a tall, thin and thin half-grown child.
Although the image is a little disappointed, Yangzhou Wenwu is not here to see Guan Erye's resurrection after all, and it doesn't matter what Guoxing A looks like. The old men in Yangzhou are just here to form a good fate, and what he needs to make friends with is the new and famous Eight Banners generals, as for whether this person is Guoxing, or which cat or dog, they don't care at all. With a smile, Cheng Yi was presented, and the prepared boats were presented, so that the upstart general could remember their names.
Of course, Guo Xing'a was ashamed of the disrespectful things that came for nothing, and then happily accepted them. The cao boat is extremely precious, and it is the most suitable official ship for sailing in the canal, except for transporting the grain in peacetime. However, at present, the Cao boat is not valuable, the Yellow River was diverted in the fifth year of Xianfeng, and the Cao Canal north of Shandong was all silted up, and the Cao Yun was basically scrapped, and the Cao boat of the Jianghuai generation was meaningless. Caoyun Yamen is now worse than one day, and it is wartime, and the civil and military personnel of Yangzhou are of course happy to take the Cao boat to send favors.
Goxing Amezi, who had collected his things, boarded the big ship of Bailai, while the brigade led by Saishan'a protected the fleet on both sides of the river. Guo Xing would never have thought that his move of getting on the boat would ruin his image in the hearts of Yangzhou Wenwu. The old men in Yangzhou provided the boats, originally because there were some wounded and female dependents in the Guoxing'a army, and there were a lot of baggage, so they were sent to Guoxing'a to transport these people and things. In their minds, Guo Xing'a, as the main general of the first army, should also move forward with the army across the horse and sword, which Cheng thought that Guo Xing'a didn't even bother to pretend for a while, and went directly to the boat and got into the women's pile.
"I made such a big name, I thought he was a great character, but it turned out to be just a young master with the blessing of his father and brother!" A military general who saw him off said disdainfully. The civil and military officials in Yangzhou only knew that Guo Xing'a inherited his father's official position, and no one knew what kind of family background Hui Yang had left, and they thought that the more than 2,000 elite soldiers under Guo Xing'a were left by Hui Yang.
"The elite soldiers left by my father and brother, I don't know how long I can let him suffer! Bah! All the officials felt that they were blind to a few good boats, and looking at the shadow of Guoxing'a in the distance, they all had an expression of "taste the crab with cold eyes, and see how long you will be rampant".
Saishana actually felt that it was a little inappropriate for Guo Xing'a to board the ship directly, but he didn't hurt the face of his own master in front of everyone, and it wasn't until the team rested for a long time that he boarded the ship to give Guo Xing'a a few words. When he entered the cabin, he was speechless. Goxinga is indeed in the women's pile, but he is not having fun in the fat powder pile, but is busy nervously with the help of the Tianni sisters.
In the cabin, the machines that Rong Hong bought were lined up, and there were disassembled firearm parts everywhere, and Guo Xing'a was measuring the barrel with a vernier caliper behind the bookcase, and repeatedly compared it with a drawing on the case. Those who are familiar with Guoxinga know that this uncle is developing new weapons again. When Guo Xing'a had just succeeded as the leader, everyone scoffed at his behavior of tinkering with guns today and tomorrow. However, relying on the guns and cannons made by Guo Xing'a, as well as a series of reforms, Zuo Ling has come to this day step by step, and when he sees Guo Xing'a researching weapons, everyone bows down and doesn't dare to disturb.
Although the machine Rong Hong got back was a little rudimentary, it was able to meet Guo Xing'a's basic needs, and all he had to do was to plagiarize some of other people's classic inventions. However, there are some difficult things, Guo Xing'a still can't get them, after all, things like the Makqin machine gun need precision machining, and Guo Xing'a still can't do it at present.
The carriages and horses walked on the shore, the boats swam in the water, and the waves were calm along the way. Without the Taiping Army and the Twist Army, Guo Xing'a honestly hid in the cabin all the way to develop new weapons. The Qing army also stopped a few stops when they arrived, and even rested in Qingjiangpu for a day, and the local officials also received some filial piety. However, Goxinga was in retreat, and of course no one was seen, and all the officials who greeted him were also sent by Saishana, Xiande, Bo Ritu and others.
After walking for almost half a month, the Qing army arrived at Taierzhuang, the last stop of the canal. Two samples of Goxinga's new weapon have already been built, and they will be ready for practical use after the test firing. However, Guo Xinga was very dissatisfied, although it only took half a month to make two pieces, but he and his craftsmen were almost exhausted. The reason for being able to make a sample is that Guo Xing'a had some experience in making this thing in his previous life, second, because Guo Xing'a had already drawn perfect drawings, and third, he relied on Guo Xing'a to work day and night with the craftsmen.
The canal in the Shandong section has been silted up, and there is no boat to sit on when it arrives at Taierzhuang, so the Guoxing Asuo Department can only unload the ship and load the car, and begin to prepare for the land march. Guo Xing'a, who had been busy for half a month, was already a little dizzy, and was going to find a place to sleep when he got off the boat, but when he heard that he arrived in Taierzhuang, he immediately came to his senses. For others, Taierzhuang is an ordinary waterway wharf, and when it comes to prosperity, it is far less prosperous than Linqing upstream and Qingjiangpu that passed by before. But it's different for Goxinga! The five words "Taierzhuang Victory" shone in his mind, and this kind of scenic spot should be visited no matter what. After saying hello to Saishana and others, Guo Xing'a, under the protection of the guard platoon, took the sister flowers to the "historic site" that showed the iron-blooded spirit of the Chinese nation.
Taierzhuang belongs to Yi County, the Zhou Dynasty has already had, the Qianlong Emperor went down to the south of the Yangtze River, passed through Taierzhuang, saw the prosperous business industry, the boat from the south to the north, called Taierzhuang is "the first village in the world". The surname of Taiwan is Licun, so it is called Taijiazhuang, and then it evolved into Taizhuang and Taierzhuang. In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, Taierzhuang began to set up the inspection department, and in the first year of Yongzheng, Taierzhuang set up the General Office, the County Cheng Office, etc., and has always had the reputation of the head of the forty market towns in Yi County. However, Guo Xing'a walked down in a circle, and he only felt bored. Since the crossing, Goxinga has been fighting, and he has never taken a good look at that town, and even if he did, he was studying sending troops to fortify the defense or blowing up the city wall. At this moment, I really took a tour around, and it was really not interesting. Qianlong Ye must have never seen the Xizhimen overpass, and the first village in the world in his mouth is like that in the eyes of modern people. Therefore, the first of the forty market towns in Yi County, in the eyes of Guoxing'a, is not as good as the first village of Tieling, a relatively big city! Moreover, the iron-blooded national soul that Guo Xing'a wants to admire, but eighty years later, where can I see it now.
Guo Xing'a, who suddenly became sleepy again, just wanted to go back to sleep, but the sisters who had not seen anything on the market were dazzled by the flowers, and felt that everywhere was prosperous and fresh. Guo Xing, who couldn't bear to let the beauty disappoint, could only be patient and accompany the two of them for a good stroll.
After buying more than a dozen taels of silver, Fuquan and a few people carried them in small bags, and Guo Xing was finally able to return to the station to rest. However, the scene on the shore was not quiet, Xiande was sitting upright on a Taishi chair and scolding, while Xishou was brandishing a horsewhip and whipping a poor fat man in his thirties like a spinning top.
"Blind your dog eyes, dare to urge Lao Tzu's soldiers to move things, Lao Tzu demolished your cheap bones today!" Xiande is the virtue of a local tyrant and an inferior gentleman.
"Let you know how powerful your uncle is!" Heeju cheered himself on while fighting.
Saishana and the others were all watching coldly, and no one stepped forward to dissuade them, and a few rough men such as Ji Ying and Hatan were still shouting and cheering on the side.
"You two too, who are you, the top of your head is borrowed! Don't you feel ashamed that someone like this kind of dog wastes so many words? The adult's face has been disgraced to you, remember, in the future, there will be such a thing that does not know death, just slap him with a big mouth! Feng Sheng'a seemed to be educating Cao Meng and Li Zhi on the side, but he couldn't understand it, and Fushun on the side was indeed reprimanding the two of them like a chief. They are all of the same level, Cao Meng and Li Zhi are also older than Fushun, and they are the company commanders and instructors of the main force, and Fushun is an instructor who is in charge of baggage. Even if Fushun was born in Guoxing's family, the two of them were polite, but they really trained Fushun like a good baby.
"Stop!" Guo Xing'a spoke up, he had to stop Xishou first, and the fat man who had been beaten had already begun to twitch on the ground.
"Yo he! It's time again! If I don't hang you on a tree, you don't know what your grandfather's last name is! Ji Ying and Hatan didn't see who it was, so they rolled up their arms and sleeves and ran to Goxinga.
"Your Excellency!" After walking two steps and looking up, the two of them knew that they had scolded the wrong person again, but Ji Ying was better than Hatan, he was not as tall as Hatan, and his stride was two steps behind Hatan, and Hatan's muscular figure blocked him tightly.
"Come here, come!" This is not the first time that Hatan has scolded the wrong person, and unfortunately it was Goxinga who won the lottery twice.
"My lord, I didn't see it clearly just now, I didn't mean you! I ......" Hatan walked towards Guoxinga with difficulty, and turned around to find Ji Ying, but found that Ji Ying had already secretly run to the side.
"Come, tell me, what's your last name!" Goxinga smiled very standardly, showing his eight teeth, and then Hatan was beaten around by Goxinga wielding a horsewhip in the laughter led by the sisters.
"My lord, I was wrong! I was wrong! Hartan didn't take a few hits, but he screamed like a pig.
"You bastard, go back and write eight hundred words to Lao Tzu for a check, you can't write that Lao Tzu has picked your skin!" Goxinga, who was already very tired, couldn't catch up with Hatan.
"My lord, 500 words will not work!" Hatan came to Goxinga again.
"Say it again!" Guo Xinga is going to fight again.
"Eight hundred, eight hundred!" Hatan begged for mercy. After Guo Xing'a nodded with satisfaction, Hatan looked at everyone for help with an innocent face, and even Cao Meng and Li Zhi laughed and admired the clouds in the sky.
"It's all the fault of this mourning species!" Hartan hung his head.
"Who the fuck are you talking about!" Goxinga raised his whip again.
"Sir, spare me! How dare I say you! I'm talking about that goods! Hatan pointed to a tree not far away.
Following Hatan's finger, Gohinga saw a man, a man hanging from a tree. And this person was wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, and his appearance was not clear, but Guo Xing'a could clearly see his complement, which was embroidered with a quail.
