Chapter 22: Letter

Although he heard that the second grandmother Jin had already begun to release the wind to sell the land in Foshan, Ye Zhao did not take it lightly and asked Ruisi Guang to spread people to inquire. The plan of the iron factory is very important and cannot be missed.

Ruisi was familiar with the road. For several months, in Guangzhou City, Xiguan, a group of rogues gathered in Xiguan. The General's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion, the Right General Administration, etc. all had suspicion that he had bought. Ye Zhao suddenly found that he had the potential to do intelligence, and he did not force him to learn business. How important is intelligence? Ye Zhao, a modern person, is very clear, and every minute is related to life and death.

Without learning to do business, Ruisi no longer had to hurt her head and was also refreshed. Recently, according to the instructions of his master, he began to identify the people in the mansion. Although the focus was on the new mansion after coming to Guangzhou, he did not let go of the things brought from the capital. Even the four maids Ruisi secretly investigated whether they had too much contact with outsiders. The master was right, you can bribe others, and they can also bribe your people.

Ruisi was quite interested in this work and soon had his own tricks, especially the relationship between the master and the Taihe. Ruisi, who knew about the mansion, had been watching for a while, including Suna, Ruisi did not let it go. The master also said that the most dangerous enemy is often by your side.

Although the master will not doubt Suna's loyalty, I Ruisi will make it clear, so I Ruisi will naturally be the bad guy. The only person I did not investigate in the house is Bakesh. The person I have been with me since I was a child. If you say that Bakesh will have a different intention, then the world will be reversed.

However, receiving letters from Taihe Number is a must-do work for Ruisi. In Shanghai and outside the pass, people will send letters to Taihe Number. Ruisi has to go to Taihe Number every day to see if there is any letter delivery.

Today, Rui Si was the Taihehao who came with his master. There was no way, so he returned the oil bowl certificate to Ruyi's brother Chen Ada. Chen Ada insisted on meeting his master, as if he didn't want to accept his innocent kindness. Ruyi blocked him several times. Is the master just casually meeting? But Chen Ada was very stubborn, and Ruyi had no choice but to tell his master. The master made an appointment to meet Chen Ada in Taihe today.

The master was graceful, and Rui Si got on the carriage, but he would rather squat in front of the carriage than sit side by side with the master.

This is a carriage with a green painted carriage. From the outside, it looks 70% new. There are many streets in Guangzhou, which is not very eye-catching. I usually wait at Xinfu Inn. The master changed his clothes and went to the inn, and then took the carriage to the Taihe No. 1.

The space in the car was not large, and the seat was covered with a new scarlet felt. Ye Zhao sat on it and gently swayed the folding fan, thinking about the recruits. When he turned around and saw Rui Si squatting and crowding into a ball of monkeys, Ye Zhao smiled: "Si'er, why don't you go down and have a walk."

Rui Si laughed dryly, his lips moved, he wanted to speak but stopped, but wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.

Ye Zhao frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" It's rare to see Rui Si stuttering, and it's not a good thing.

Rui Si suddenly became brave and carefully told the master about the four maids and more than a dozen personal soldiers and servants who came to Beijing. He said it while looking at the master's expression.

Sure enough, the master's face sank, and there were very few. The eyes that looked at him were as sharp as a knife. Rui Si was originally half-squatting and half-sitting, but now he was so scared that he sat on the car board. As for the trick of twitching his mouth to please his master, he couldn't use it anymore, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, Master, I know that I'm wrong, Master..."

Ye Zhao stared at him for a while, Rui Si's whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and he almost collapsed on the car board.

"Si'er, you are getting more and more courageous." Ye Zhao said coldly.

Rui Si used all his strength to turn over and kneel down, kowtowing hard: "Master, I realized that I was wrong. Master, don't drive Rui Si away. Rui Si will never leave Master!" The buzzing carriage made a bang, and he was really scared. The first time he saw his master so angry, he felt intuitively that the master had the idea of ​​driving him away.

Ye Zhao sighed softly in his heart. He served him since he was a child, but he didn't expect to be really in touch with each other, and he could vaguely see his thoughts.

"Si'er, I know that you are loyal and do everything for my own good. I didn't tell me in advance that I wanted to make an ugly person for me, but you have to know what should be done and what should not be done, and what should I know what should not be done. I know who is loyal to me, and I know who should be checked, but it's not time for you to take charge!"

The more you said this, the more severe it became, and Rui Si's forehead was filled with sweat.

"Remember what I said to you today."

Rui Si kowtowed: "I remember it. I will remember what my master said today for the rest of my life!"

Ye Zhao turned his head and looked out the window and said lightly: "I hope so."

Rui Si didn't dare to speak anymore, shrank in the corner of the car, which was very pitiful.

But Ye Zhao didn't say a word to him anymore, and even when he got off the bus at the side door of the Taihe, Ye Zhao ignored him, so he wanted him to remember this day forever.

Rui Si followed Ye Zhao. When he passed the threshold, he wanted to support his master, but Ye Zhao frowned. Rui Si could only take two steps back pitifully and followed behind.

Today, I came from outside the pass. The letter was full of dust and waited in the side hall. I was a very smart young man who saw Ye Zhao cut the interlayer of the black cloth bag and found a letter from it. It was a letter that was open and honest. It was far from being so cautious.

Ye Zhao smiled after receiving the letter: "Do you know me? Do you know who I am?"

The young man said respectfully: "I don't know. The young man has only seen the portrait of his master. The general ordered that when he arrived at the Taihe Quotation, he would hand over the Xin to the master. The general wanted the young man to call him the master."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and smiled, "Okay, you have sent me a letter, go take a hot shower, take a good rest for a few days, and then go back outside the pass."

"Yes, I'll obey the order." The young man held his fists and saluted. Rui Si hurriedly led the young man out of the side hall, feeling upset, not knowing when the master would be able to calm down.

Ye Zhao opened the letter and looked at it for a few seconds, and was shocked. Han Jinchun had already fought with the Rakshasa people.

The first encounter was near Hailanpao on the north bank of Heilongjiang. The two teams had thirty brave men and seven or eight Luosha people, but they didn't want to suffer any losses. The Luosha people opened fire first, injured more than a dozen Tuanyong people and killed three people. Tuanyong scattered in panic. Both teams were withdrawn by Han Jinchun.

The second conflict was when Han Jinchun gathered hundreds of regiments to ambush Rakshasa an expedition team of more than 20 people, and wiped out the opponent in a fierce battle.

Han Jinchun wrote in his letter: "Tuan Yong's fear of Rakshasa is a little bit gone. After careful study, my firearm is even sharper, but I am afraid of the revenge of the Rakshasa ghost team. The ships and cannons are difficult to resist, and the enemy has a chance of winning if they lure the enemy to fight in land."

No, if we talk about Russia, the firearms equipped today are only equivalent to the technology of Britain and France in the early 19th century. The firearms equipped by Tuanyong elite are indeed more advanced than that.

Han Jinchun's letter also wrote the composition of the Tuan Yong on a blank piece of paper. There were 915 Tuan Yongs equipped with firearms, including 300 small cannons, and the rest of the firearms and bird guns were different. The 627 Tuan Rongs were also brave enough for swordsmen, spearmen, archers, etc.

More than 1,500 regiments of war, Ye Zhao nodded slightly, Han Jinchun and the old master were really powerful. As for the small cannon in Han Jinchun's letter, it refers to the Enfield 1853 rifle, the most elite work of front-loading guns, and now the rear-loading guns have just emerged, but the power is not as good as Enfield 1853.

After fighting with the Rakshasa ghost, Ye Zhao knew that the northern border was unstable since then. Although Russia's military strength was still restrained in the Crimean battlefield, in the East and West Siberia, the Russians were afraid that more than 10,000 soldiers were scattered in several important towns, but there was no railway. In such a vast barren land, it was difficult to gather and transport. In addition, it was far away from the capital, and it was difficult to supply. This was also the only advantage of the group outside the pass.

The canning factory is about to be put into production, but at that time it will be sent to the outside world. The group heroes and the Rakshasa ghosts are fighting guerrilla warfare, which is also considered training teams. If you want to say that the team wins decisively, one is afraid that there will be more losses than the losses; the other is that even if you win, it will only completely anger the Rakshasa people and gather heavy troops to invade, while the group brave will have no chance of winning.

I just hope that the Rakshasa people would be prepared to see the Qing Dynasty and retreat when they saw the difficulties. However, Ye Zhao also knew that this hope was extremely slim.

"Master, Chen Ada has arrived." Rui Si's voice interrupted Ye Zhao's thoughts. Ye Zhao nodded: "Please come in." He asked again: "Come in with foreign fire?" There are matches sold at the Western Guan Foreign Store, which are called "foreign fire" by locals in Guangzhou. Ye Zhao wanted to justify it.
