The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

After leaving Lugang Town, they also had the opportunity to exercise Zhao Zhongyi and the others' minds.

But I never expected that the first magistrate would have the courage to summon people and horses to show off. Second, how did Goryeo and the others repel five hundred officers and soldiers.

Liu Baobao spoke sharply and gave a general summary.

Five hundred officers and soldiers are not equal to five hundred foreign guns.

When the magistrate summoned five hundred officers and soldiers, someone immediately reported the matter to Zhao Zhongyi.

Zhao Zhongyi immediately took Zhu Jianye and others to build fortifications and intercept them on the road.

When the officers and soldiers arrived, they did nothing else but shoot behind the fortifications.

After they killed more than 20 people with three rounds of gunfire, the officers and soldiers became disorganized and began to flee.

After that, they simply rushed out. The officers and soldiers lost courage, turned around and fled.

Zhao Chuanxin found it funny when he heard this. He laughed at the courage of Zhao Zhongyi and others, and also laughed at the sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers in the state after Chengming left.

If Chengming was leading the team here, they would not be repelled so easily.

But this incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for Zhao Chuanxin.

Originally, when Lugang Town was still Lugangling Village, a dozen of them were enough. If they couldn't defeat them, they would engage in guerrilla warfare, ambush warfare, and night raids. But now that it has become Lugang Town, more than ten people are not enough.

In the future, there will be more and more people here, and more than ten people will not be enough.

He thought for a while and said: In this way, you select a group of young men in the town, and first expand the insurance team to 40 formal members. Then select 50 people to serve as militiamen. The militiamen will train with live ammunition twice a month, and there will be no training in normal times. They are assigned tasks, do what they have to do, and are paid one silver dollar per person every six months. During wartime, they can be summoned when needed, and wages and pensions are calculated separately.

Zhao Zhongyi nodded: The expansion should have been long ago. These days are getting more and more chaotic, and it is difficult to protect ourselves without a small number of people. Since you said that the Japanese will eventually win, we must prepare in advance.

Although Zhao Zhongyi usually does well, without Zhao Chuanxin, everyone always feels as if they are missing a backbone.

Not only that, as soon as he came back, everyone was immediately angry.

After explaining this, Zhao Chuanxin took Li Guangzong home to take a look.

Outside the courtyard, there are low wooden railings that have been painted. Trees were planted outside according to Zhao Chuanxin's idea. In the courtyard, flowers are planted in the flower pond defined by stone slabs.

There are two new houses connected to the left side of the original house. On the right is the tool shed with a sloping roof. In addition, a stable and firewood shed and warehouse were built.

Moreover, his original windows were enlarged twice, and the area of ​​each pane of glass remained the same, but there were more panes.

Naturally, all such large windows cannot be opened, only one can be opened and closed.

Zhao Chuanxin is quite satisfied.

Li Guangzong looked at this house and this small courtyard. They were really well built.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the room in the middle and said to him: Why don't you be my housekeeper from now on? You can live there!

Li Guangzong did not dare to refute at all. Ever since he met Zhang Zuolin that day and all kinds of unsolved mysteries happened, he was afraid of Zhao Chuanxin.

Since you don't dare to resist, then just follow blindly.

When I walked to the room that belonged to me, I opened the door and walked in. The smell of wood and varnish came out.

Li Guangzong was stunned by the shiny floors, brand new furniture, and small but glass windows.

Will he live here from now on?

Different from Zhao Chuanxin's room, this room has a fire kang.

I didn’t care so much about cooking. When I got home, I immediately went back to the house with peace of mind.

It is also homesick.

The home is clean and spotless.

Apparently, someone comes to clean it all the time.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and pushed the door straight in.

The person who came was a charming-looking woman, her feet were not bound, and her clothes were not that ragged.

The most important thing is that Zhao Chuanxin discovered that there was a little girl behind her.

This little girl, Zhao Chuanxin, was very impressed and even gave her a piece of steamed bun at that time.

Seeing someone in the room, the woman was startled, but she didn't scream. She was stunned for a moment and then leaned forward slightly and said, Mr. Cheng, I'm here to clean.

She also remembered who Zhao Chuanxin was.

However, she still had the impression of Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand-Cheng Kun in her mind.

Zhao Chuanxin was happy: My name is not Cheng Kun. That was my alias when I was playing outside. My name is Zhao Chuanxin.

It is impossible to live in Lugang Town without hearing the name Zhao Chuanxin.

This time the woman said Ah instead: Are you Captain Zhao?

The little girl blinked: Captain Zhao, my name is Jiang Mingxin, and this is my mother.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't pay attention to this woman at that time, but the little girl left a deep impression on him.

Children of this era all look thin, dry, and dark. Children from rich families are fairer, but girls always look ugly with their hair combed so that their foreheads are exposed.

This little girl is different. She looks very cute with her bangs and round face. And he is extremely courageous.

But when I looked at the woman again, I found that she was no longer as dirty as she was back then, and she was also wearing the middle parting hair style worn by ordinary women. But she looked very charming, and even though she was wearing loose clothes, Zhao Chuanxin's Dharma Eyes with profound skills showed that at least she had a curvy front and back.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin asked: What about your father?

woman:……

The little girl said: My father and we are separated.

The past few years have been uneventful, and separation of relatives is commonplace.

Zhao Chuanxin asked the woman again: What is your name?

The woman has heard many legends about Zhao Chuanxin, but the rumors are all positive. No one will elaborate on Zhao Chuanxin's character, words and deeds.

Only then did I realize that Captain Zhao was really speaking out.

But she felt she still had to answer: My name is Miao Cuihua.

Zhao Chuanxin was drinking water when he spat out: Ahem, do you know martial arts?

Martial arts? I don't know martial arts! I know how to cook!

Can you cook? There are many people who know how to cook, but if you can openly say that you know how to cook, your cooking skills must be good, right? Even if it doesn't work, just training and training should be enough.

Zhao Chuanxin asked her, Where do you live now?

In the shack at the entrance of the town.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the side and said: Since you come here to clean every day, you must know that there are two empty rooms, right? My housekeeper lives in the middle, so you can take your daughter to live in the house next to her. From now on, it will be dedicated to me. You can cook, wash clothes and clean the house, and I will pay you. Now go buy some daily necessities and bring them to my housekeeper Li.

With that said, he threw five oceans out casually.

He made a lot of money on this trip, just a little money.

Surprise flashed in the woman's eyes. The house looked so beautiful, clean and bright. Who would want to live in a shack?

Captain Zhao was too generous with his money. He just gave him five yuan. It seemed that he would not be hungry or cold in the future.
