Chapter Seven Hundred and Fifty Five: A Hundred Wastes to Be Done
The structure of the Tseng Ce Domestic yamen is different from other yamens. There are all unique courtyards, front halls and back yards that are three in and three out, and front and back. These are just two-story buildings built with bricks and stones. Due to the shortage of land, Lang Son's large mansions have become increasingly rare. Except for some wealthy people, the vast majority of them often begin to develop towards high places and compact space utilization in order to utilize the land space.
The structure of the house built with bricks and stones is much different from that of the courtyard and loft in terms of beauty, but the emphasis is on practicality.
Tiance Mansion is such a four-story house. The office space of Haofeng Building is on the fourth floor, one inside and one outside, with several clerks working here. Besides, there is a small hall where people come in and out every day. Most of the military officers from each guard come to ask for their visit, so people come in and out at all times.
It is early in the morning, and Hao Fenglou has already gone to the inner room to work. There are already seven or eight people sitting in the small hall. Some are summoned by Hao Fenglou, and a few are ordered to come to convey official documents.
They were wearing tight military uniforms. Almost all of the soldiers and horses of the four guards had been replaced with guns and cannons. Although the soldiers also had close combat training, they mainly shot long-range. This led to the fact that traditional leather armor and chain armor would only cause inconvenience to the sergeant. The tactics of the muskets required flexibility. The military uniforms of the four guards of Lang San and even the model battalions of various countries were all light fabrics and had to be tight to avoid inconvenience in movement. Even if the people in the army were not tall, they were mostly strong in their bodies. They were wearing this brimming military uniform. Some sat straight in the hall, some had official documents under their ribs, and some boots gently knocked on the floor. Some people remained silent, and occasionally had small talk.
At this time, two military officers got into the conversation.
One of the military officers saw the color of the man opposite, and his number was on his uniform, so he couldn't help but say, "But Lang San Wei?"
"Yes, the deputy thousand households of the Thousand Households of Lang Son Wei Hai Phong are ordered to come and listen to the general's training order."
There is only one general, that is General Tiance Hao Fenglou.
The military officer who asked about it suddenly became interested: "Is your Qianhu Zhou Yan? I recognize him. In the Shenmao, we were in the same team and were also responsible for scouting work together. During the battle of Siam, he saved my life. Look..." He rolled up his trousers, exposed a scar, and said with a smile: "When a few natives attacked us, they used arrows. He discovered it early and kicked me away, so he did not hurt the vitals. When he was fighting Siam, the Siamese officers and soldiers were actually not as good as the ones.
There are many native tribes that cause a lot of trouble. They are always elusive in the jungle, but unfortunately, they are not lucky. What they encounter is our Lang San Wei. At the beginning, although we suffered a loss, we quickly changed our tactics. Before we start, we used artillery to blast into the mountains. The natives were frightened when they saw it. Then the brothers cleared out three or five people in a team of attacks. How dare they resist? They wanted to deal with them. In fact, they restrained them to a specially organized village.
Just manage it. Every village has to be mixed up. There are people from all villages. If a villager is appointed, they will not dare to cause trouble. Siam has three model camps, nine thousand people, stationed in various prefectures. A few of them are from the old brothers. One of them is the battalion officer of the model camp in the big city, and we are also our brother. Alas... This kid is usually very stingy. I look down on him, but he is willing to fight desperately. Every time he fights hand-to-hand, he is the best at dealing with the natives.
There is a way, what are the smoke and what teams to clear out? I heard that the local people are afraid of him. Now, Siam is in a state of peace. He wants to transfer back to Jiaozhi and tell you, there will be a big battle here in the future. Why do you think the general wants to establish the Tiance Mansion? There are so many troops and horses to mobilize, and so much food, grass, and ammunition. Let me tell you, it is for this, ha... I am lucky. Now I am sent to the grenade camp of Jiaozhou Guard. It is indispensable in the future. It is a place to use it."
He talked, and everyone else listened carefully. From it, he heard many things that coincided with his own experience, and he smiled reservedly, but not many people interrupted.
As for his origin, he said that it was the Jiaozhou Guard Grenade Battalion, someone showed envious eyes. Among the four guards, there were infantry battalions, artillery battalions, engineering battalions, grenade battalions and reconnaissance companies. The most popular ones were the artillery battalions and grenade battalions. The food there was the best, and the selected ones were tall people. They held the latest hand and still fucked in the shooting range every day. After one day, the shooting range became ragged. The engineering battalions had to curse and continued to reset the shooting range for them. They were feasting and eating all over the place.
As he was speaking, a civil servant walked out of the clerk's room. The civil servant here was actually wearing military uniforms, holding a book in his hand, looked up and said, "Xu Zhilong, the official of the Jiaozhou Guard Grenadier Camp."
The man immediately stood up suddenly, and his stomping boots clattered. He was afraid that even the floor below would inevitably be harassed by him. He immediately said, "Abide by the order."
So he put his military uniforms in and walked in quickly.

After passing through the clerk's room, he entered the innermost Hao Fenglou's duty room. Hao Fenglou was also dressed in military uniform and looked extremely heroic. In front of the document, he reviewed several official documents with a pen. He heard the movement of Xu Zhilong coming in, but did not look up. He just stretched out his hand and pressed his little finger down. Xu Zhilong hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "I'm humble Xu Zhilong, I've seen an adult." Then, he restrained his laughter and laughed at me just now, and sat with a stern look, without saying a word.
Hao Fenglou buried his head and continued to review several official documents. Xu Zhilong was surprisingly quiet at this time, without saying a word. It was not until Hao Fenglou put down his pen and raised his head to give Hao Fenglou a toothless smile.
"Are you Xu Zhilong?"
"Yes, Xu Zhilong is humble."
"A few days ago, you posted a suggestion on grenade tactics, right? Well, I'll look for it..." Hao Fenglou looked through and found a document from the pile of documents. He took it out, opened it and looked at it. His eyes fell on the document and said slowly: "Your suggestions are interesting and thought-provoking." (To be continued...)
