"Welcome, welcome!" At the gate of the east city gate of Taiyuan, there are hundreds of local officials standing tightly, in the front are Hong Chengchou and Zheng Chongjian, these two are wearing a full set of military attachés, and the shoulders are draped with precious white fox fur shawls, this kind of shawl workmanship is only average, but because white fox fur is rare, it is highly respected in the market, and the price has always been high. With Hong Zheng and the two of them, if they want to afford this kind of shawl, they basically have to go without eating or drinking for several years, but now it's not a problem, they have the right, as the first few positions of the Shanxi political envoys, the people who give them money can't break their heads, not to mention this kind of expensive gifts, people are looking for all kinds of relationships to send inside, I'm afraid you won't accept it. Although the two of them held such a high position, they did not receive too many gifts, and the official robes they wore at the moment were also more decent.

Behind them, there are many officials in Taiyuan City, these officials are standing on both sides of the road according to the different civil and military positions, at this moment one by one stretched their necks to look east, the official robes on their bodies are not as good as Hong Zheng and the two, some look bright, but the official robes are because they eat too well on weekdays and begin to gain weight and look quite bloated, but there are also officials because they can't get oil and water in Qingshui Yamen, and they can't even change the official robes that are changed once every few years, and they are still wearing the old official uniforms before. There are many people wearing fur furs, but there are also many officials wearing old cotton jackets that are torn and show cotton in some places.

"Salute!" With a loud command, Hong Jie followed Ruan Wenyu and Maruyama Naoki to the two officials and saluted them at the same time.

Hong Chengchou and Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but glance at each other, they had never seen such a salute, they had almost seen a military general for a lifetime, and even there were many military generals standing behind them now, which military general was not wearing heavy armor all over his body? They all wore phoenix-winged helmets on their heads, and the helmets fluttered in the wind, looking heroic. But the three officers who came in front of him were wearing military coats that were not very different, and there were epaulettes with stars on their shoulders. The military caps they wore on their heads were all tall and of the same shape, with the only difference being that the Army was light blue and the Foreign Legion was white.

At this moment, the three of them stood solemnly in place, their legs together, standing in the snow, their eyes looking directly at the two high-ranking officials, their right upper arm was shoulder level, their forearm was bent upward, and their palms were in a straight line with their forearm, aiming at their right eyebrows. According to the Great Martial Arts Etiquette System, the military attache should kneel and kowtow when he sees a civil official, but the three people in front of him actually completed the salute without even bending their knees, which is too hasty, right?

"What kind of salute are you?" Someone behind Hong Chengchou said loudly, and then someone answered, "That's it, instead of saluting with such actions?" Isn't it too unreasonable to take the national law and etiquette system to heart? ”

"Report, Naoki Maruyama, commander-in-chief of the 1st Mixed Regiment of the Chinese Senate Counterinsurgency Volunteer Army......" "Nguyen Van Ngoo!" "Artillery Commander-in-Chief Hong Jie!" Maruyama spoke a strong Annan dialect Mandarin and reported loudly, he didn't pay attention to the words of the officials behind Hong Chengchou at all, it was useless for them to make a fuss, as long as the top officials in front of him did not object, if they really objected, it would be a big deal to turn around and leave, and it would not be a big deal. "Report to you!"

Of the three "Annan" officers in front of him, two spoke with a thick incomprehensible local accent, and the remaining tall guy was able to speak Shaanxi dialect, which was right for Hong Chengchou's appetite. Hong Chengchou has been an official in Shaanxi for many years, presiding over the work of quelling the chaos, and He Renlong, who was brought out by his subordinates, is a native of Shaanxi, which is basically a second mother tongue for him, so it is not a problem to understand it at all.

However, he didn't show anything on his face, but looked behind him, and not far away, he saw a familiar figure jump from a huge strange car and stumble towards it. Running to the front, He Renlong pounced on one knee and clasped his fists with both hands, "He Renlong is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he received a section of the Annan guest army in front of Jingcheng Pass, and has now arrived in Taiyuan City." Please give me advice. ”

The revenge is not far away, and the cool knot is to investigate Moyang by being lonely

Hong Chengchou and Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but glance at each other, at this moment, the three officers still maintained a salute posture, and He Renlong was still kneeling on the ground and did not get up, compared with the two, the former's standing and saluting posture is far better than He Renlong's kneeling and saluting, not to mention that He Renlong is kneeling or kneeling on one knee now, if it is replaced by the usual military attachés kneeling on both knees and kowtowing, it is as embarrassing as catching a prisoner.

When they walked to the front of the queue of the troops under review, the platoon commander of the first array shouted the password, "Salute!" The officer pulled out the cavalry knife at his waist, swung it into the air first, and then withdrew the tip of the knife at his waist and pressed it against his right arm, while the soldiers lifted the strap of the gun, pointed the muzzle up, and then held the gun, and turned their heads to Zheng Chongjian and Hong Chengchou, who came to inspect it.

Hong Chengchou took a step forward first, and hugged his fists with both hands towards the three Annan officers, but after thinking about it, it seemed necessary to respect their etiquette, so he also raised his right hand and waved it on the tip of his eyebrows, and then stretched out his hand to the four people and made a gesture of support. After these embarrassing actions, he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, and was about to speak, when he saw the short, thin officer shouting, "The first and second companies of the Foreign Legion, ready to get out of the car for review!" ”

No one understood what he was shouting, but from the direction he was heading was the strange huge vehicles behind him, he knew that it must be an order from behind. At the same time, the side doors of the carriage were opened one by one, and soldiers with weapons rushed out of the doors.

This move frightened the officials present, these Annan soldiers did not inform anyone of their actions, and suddenly rushed out of the car at this moment, who knows what they are planning to do? If you want to be detrimental to the officials, I am afraid that it will be too late to react at this distance. There was a commotion among the officials at the moment, and many people who were dressed more gorgeously began to tremble and retreat, you must know that they had heard that they were coming to meet a new counterinsurgency army before they went out of the city to greet them, and many of them wore new official uniforms, and some even wore a lot of leather shoes or something, these are the most attractive good things in the eyes of the bandits in winter. On the contrary, another group of people stood there and watched the play in front of them as if they were not afraid at all, these people were basically wearing shabby official uniforms, and they didn't have too many warm clothes on their bodies, at most, they were not too cold, and they were not afraid of being robbed at all when they stood here at this moment...... Anyway, there is nothing to be robbed, I heard that those bandits like to whitewash their "justice", and officials who have no family wealth will not be tossed at all.

However, the soldiers who jumped out of the car did not kill them viciously, the junior officers first stood in front of the car, and then stood in place, the soldiers hung the rifles and submachine guns they were carrying on their shoulders, ran towards the positions of their respective officers, and then approached in order of height, in the process of aligning the queue, the soldiers did not move at will, but in a rhythm of small steps in the movement, each soldier's head twisted to the right, all in the direction of the officer, after it, Their small steps gradually stopped, and their heads quickly turned directly in front of them, and soon formed six three-rows in front of the vehicle. The soldiers held their guns with their guns facing downward, shoulder-over-the-shoulder, holding the strap in their right hand and pressing their thumbs against the inside of the strap, so that the barrel of the gun was tightly attached to the plane from the right shoulder to the back.

The officers of the company and the platoon leading the team took a step forward, turned to the left forty-five degrees to look at the queue, and after making sure that the line was neat, they turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, and then ran towards the position where Nguyen Van Ngoc was.

At this moment, the officials behind them figured out that these Annan soldiers were just carrying out a big parade, not robbing themselves, and their hearts suddenly settled down, and then took a closer look, these soldiers' movements were clean and neat at the moment, standing there like statues in the cold wind, neatly aligned, as if the scene they had seen in a dream was as pleasing to the eye, and they all forgot their panicked appearance a few minutes ago at this moment, and rushed forward one by one to see this "big reading" that they had never seen before.

The commander of the first company ran to Ruan Wenyu, stood upright, and then saluted, "Report to the battalion commander!" Then he turned to Hong Jie and said in a loud voice, "Report to the chief, the first and second companies of the Foreign Legion have been assembled, please review them!" At the same time as the report, his body turned towards Hong Chengchou and Zheng Chongjian, and at the same time continued to maintain a salute posture.

Only then did Hong Chengchou confirm that the three officers who did this kind of shading action towards him just now turned out to be a real salute, and he also expressed his admiration in his heart for the actions of the officer who ran over just now.

The soldiers and officers in the distance were almost identical, all wearing military overcoats of tweed, and on their heads they were wearing exactly the same cotton caps with ear protectors, the ear protectors of the cotton caps were obviously still shaggy, and they seemed to be really made of wool.

"They're standing so neatly" "Aren't they?" One by one, they stood like a pine, and they didn't move on such a cold day. "If we had changed our soldiers, it would have been scarce a long time ago." Someone next to him sneered, "You don't look at what they're wearing?" And what to wear on your head? ”

The conversation immediately changed, "yes, this kind of clothing looks very warm, and it is more comfortable than what we are wearing." "Let's just talk about the hat, this kind of cotton hat with wool, we have to make a hat for less than two taels of silver." "These people are really willing to spend money on the big-headed soldiers!" "That's it, look at the guns on their bodies, our rotten three-eyed guns cost eighteen taels of silver, and their kind of guns must be twenty taels a piece, right?" "Twenty taels? I think it's at least thirty taels up. "They're still wearing leather boots!" This sentence provoked a group of officials to shout. "It's just a few big-headed soldiers, all of them are so well-equipped, I'm afraid it's just the Royal Forest Army, right?"

Hong Chengchou coughed heavily with some dissatisfaction, accompanied by the sound of coughing, the sound that was getting louder and louder behind him immediately became quiet, he turned his head and looked, although the officials behind him stopped talking one by one, but their eyes were staring directly at the soldiers in the distance. The city wall behind them was already crowded with the garrisons and villagers in Taiyuan City, and at this moment, they were crowded at the head of the city one by one, pointing and whispering to the six arrays in the distance.

Ruan Wenyu heard the situation behind him, and he was quite proud in his heart, but he couldn't turn his head to look, he shouted to the company, "Start reviewing!" ”

The first company commander hurriedly turned around neatly, and then pulled out the 1628-style cavalry knife on his waist, raised it into the air, and then retracted it to his waist, the tip of the knife was tightly attached to his right arm, and at the same time, he made a gesture of invitation to Hong Chengchou and Zheng Chongjian beside him, signaling the two to walk towards the reading queue.

The two walked in front, they felt very good about the movement of this company commander, it was obviously a feeling of protecting the reviewer, and at the same time, the speed of the other party's walking was not in a hurry or slow, although he was not riding a horse like the previous military parade, but the speed of walking could completely keep up.

When they walked to the front of the queue of troops under review, the platoon commander of the first array shouted the command, "Salute!" The officer pulled out the cavalry knife at his waist, swung it into the air first, and then withdrew the tip of the knife at his waist and pressed it against his right arm, while the soldiers lifted the strap of the gun, pointed the muzzle up, and then held the gun, and turned their heads to Zheng Chongjian and Hong Chengchou, who came to inspect it.

Hong Chengchou felt as if he was in a dream, he could see that every soldier's eyes were staring at him, his head slowly turning according to the speed of his own walking, he seemed to be hypnotized and slowly walked towards the front, the soldiers after he walked by, the head of the brush turned back to the front, the gun in his hand was also put down, and the butt of the gun fell to the ground with a snapping sound.

When he got to the second array, the soldiers began to shout "Politically qualified!" Military excellence! Excellent style! Be disciplined! Powerful protection! The slogan, the voice was neat and sonorous, stimulating Hong Chengqi's eardrums, although he could not understand these Chinese Chinese, but it did not prevent him from feeling the murderous spirit of this army in the slightest.

This review was completed quickly, whether it was Hong Chengchou or Zheng Chongjian, they had led the army for many years, but they had never seen such an army, which could bring them such a shocking sense of impact, as if they were declaring their invincible heroism.

Hong Jie stepped forward at this time and saluted the two high-ranking officials, "According to the requirements of the Holy Decree, we have arrived in Taiyuan in the shortest possible time, please give us battle instructions, where should we go to fight?" ”

"Why rush?" A heroic voice suddenly came from the side, "Brothers have come from afar, we should do our best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, first reward three days in Taiyuan City, and then set off!" ”

Zheng Chongjian's face sank, and his eyes showed dissatisfaction, the person who spoke was Zuo Liangyu, who should have obeyed his command but disobeyed orders in everything and respected himself with his military power. He couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, although these newly arrived guest troops seemed to be a strong army, but who knew if they would become equally disobedient to their orders because they mixed up with Zuo Liangyu?
