Chapter 051 spies
"This..." Zhou Charter hesitated. Liu Bu toad recommended him to find Zuo Baogui, because Zuo Baogui had some friendship with Liu Bu toad and could protect him. This Song Qingsu didn't know each other and worked under him, and Zhou Charter was not sure. If Song Qing knew that he offended Li Hongzhang, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Zhang Xun became impatient: "Zhou Charter, please thank Admiral for your help!"
He is always a nine-grade military officer, which is the lowest rank among military officers. However, it is also an official official who eats the salaries of the imperial court. It is not easy for a small soldier to be promoted to general in the army of the Qing Dynasty.
Song Qing laughed and said, "Zhou Charter, are you worried about Liu Bu toad? Don't worry, at Liu Bu Toad, I will go to make it clear to him that it is the time for me to use people in the Qing Dynasty, thinking that Liu Bu toad will not be stingy with a personal soldier. You also hit the Japanese with Liu Bu toad, and you also hit the Japanese with me!"
Song Qing's words reached the heart of Zhou Charter. Fight the devils, this is Grandpa's will. Whether to find Zuo Baogui or to fight the devils, the goal is the same!
Zhou Charter did not hesitate to raise his hand to salute Song Qing: "Zhou Charter is willing to serve the Admiral!"
Zhang Xun disdained: "You dare to fuck this Western thing in front of the admiral!"
Song Qing laughed and said, "General Zhang, in my opinion, this Western military ceremony is also very energetic! Magnificent!"
......
At dawn the next day, the well-equipped people of the three battalions took advantage of the light of Qixing and rushed out of the camp to the Yalu River.
Zhou Charter walked at the front of the team with a sentry of about 100 people. Zhang Xun took a battalion of 500 people and ten wild artillery behind him. In the middle are the main forces of the two battalions.
When we arrived at the river, the sky was bright, and the river fog rose on the river surface. On the riverside shoals, there were dense reed bushes growing, gently swaying in the morning wind, making waves of sand.
The wide river is quiet, and on the other side are the mountains that can't be seen at a glance. In the faint light in the morning, there are dark silhouettes, like a group of demons and monsters.
Zhou Charter walked in the center of the sentry, and the team in front suddenly stopped.
The flag man Hawu hurried over. He was a veteran and was placed in the outpost.
Nahawu was about to kneel down to Zhou Charter. Zhou Charter shouted, "Didn't I tell you last night that my sentry can't kneel down!"
Last night, Zhou Charter took office and gathered more than 100 people from the sentry. He said one thing. The sentry could not kneel down at all, and the soldiers saluted the officers in a Western-style military salute. Zhou Charter personally gave a demonstration to everyone.
I didn't expect that these soldiers knelt down and kowtowed. They were all proficient and familiar with the road. But asking them to raise their hands to salute was not because of Zhou Charter's old nose strength, which taught them for two hours, and it was still crooked. It was not like a salute, but like a monkey. What's more annoying is that the monkeys being fooled are not them, but General Zhou Charter!
Zhou Charter realized that the kneeling ceremony he wanted to change was rooted in the cells of this nation thousands of years ago, and had become their genetics before these soldiers were born! Changing the kneeling ceremony can never be done overnight.
The next day, Zhou Charter had no choice but to end hastily.
Nahawu was scolded, but his knees were bent and could not be taken back. He ploped and bumped on the ground. The pain made him grin, hurriedly got up again and waved to Zhou Charter, which was quite the owner's intention of recruiting dogs.
Zhou Charter can't laugh or cry. This is the military salute of Ha Wujing!
"Say, what's going on in front?" Zhou Charter shouted angrily.
"Master, hold two spies in the reeds."
"The spy? "Come here!" Zhou Charter was shocked. Before the team crossed the river, the Japanese knew how to fight this battle if it went on like this.
"Hit!" Then the five battalions had to kneel again, bent their knees halfway, and hurriedly stood straight. They turned around and ran away for Zhou Charter, which was another dog move.
"Fuck you!" Zhou Charter scolded at Nahawu's back.
After a while, Naha Wu and the new soldier Yao Xi came over with two people and fell at the foot of Zhou Charter.
The two are thin, wearing robes, horse coats, felt hats, and bowing their heads.
Then Hawu raised his hand and wanted to "recruit dogs". Zhou Charter hurriedly said, "Forget it, find a place where there is no one to practice! How do you know they are spies?
"Master, these two people hid in the reeds and ran away when they saw us coming. They behaved obediently and sneaky. Moreover, it's July. It's so hot that these two guys are still wearing robes and coats and felt hats. This is too perverted! I suspect that they don't have braids. They are probably Japanese.
Zhou Charter nodded slightly, this Hawu. He is worthy of being a veteran. The courtesy is not very good, but his eyes still work. There is really something wrong with the clothes of these two people.
"Look up!" Zhou Charter shouted.
Two people knelt on the ground without looking up.
Yao Xi was furious: "Dog, you dare to be a spy for the Japanese, but you dare not look up. I will beat you to death!" Yao Xi raised the butt of the gun and was about to smash it down.
Zhou Charter grabbed the rifle in Yao Xi's hand and scolded, "Fuck, your boy is holding a Winchester M1894 in his hand! You are fucking practicing the most advanced rifle in the Qing Dynasty!"
A crisp voice sounded at his feet: "We are not spies! Brother Zhou, we are really not spies!"
Zhou Charter looked down and looked up at him with a dark face, with a pair of apricot eyes and a pair of willow eyebrows.
Zhou Charter pushed Yao Xi away: "Dad!"
It was Jin Shu's mother and daughter who knelt at the foot of Zhou Charter. They were wearing the clothes of Qing men and their faces were covered with carbon ash.
Zhou Charter was relieved. Jin Shu's mother and daughter dressed as men. Naturally, they had to wear felt hats and hide in the reeds. When they saw soldiers passing by, they naturally avoided.
"Woth girl, stand up and talk." Zhou Charter said.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou." Jin Shu's mother and daughter stood up.
Naha Wu said in a hurry, "Master, I can see at a glance that they are spies..."
"Dog's fiery eyes, you are a pair of eyes!" Zhou Charter shouted, "These are two women!"
Naha Wu and Yao Xi were shocked. They looked carefully and said in unison, "The boss's eyes are golden, and the villain is beyond his reach!"
In the Qing Dynasty, patting your boss is the basic skill of being a man, and everyone can do it.
Zhou Charter ignored Hawu and asked, "Woth, why did you come here?"
Jin Shu said, "We are going home and looking for my father."
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that there will be a war, you'd better not go back."
"Thank you for your kindness, but we haven't seen Dad for many years. Now that he has finally returned to North Korea, we must go to find him!" Jin Shu's attitude was resolute: "But when we arrived at the river, the boat refused to take us across the river, so we had to hide in the reeds and met them. They insisted that we were spies."
"The court has ordered to ban the river, and no one is allowed to cross the river." Zhou Charter said.
"What can I do?" There were tears in Jin Shu's eyes: "Brother Zhou, can you help us cross the river again?"
"I'm afraid this won't work." When you go to North Korea, you may encounter the Japanese army at any time. It is very inconvenient to take two women with you. Moreover, the Qing army has military rules, and there can be no women in the barracks!
Jin Shu's eyes are full of sadness: "Brother Zhou, you are a good person. Can you help us again?"
"Who the hell is your father?" Zhou Charter asked.
