Chapter 173 Flying Fish
Tianjin, Beiyang.
The official road in front of the military palace was filled with smoke and dust. Five knights in a robe all went out to the front and ran towards the guards without dodging. The leader took out a tooth card with one hand and tied the reins with one hand. However, no one could see clearly what the tooth card was written on.
I could only hear a condescending rebuke: "The factory and the security guards should do their business, and switches should be prevented!"
Seeing that the knights were constantly rushing towards the Joe, two flag soldiers from the Beiyang Army Mansion looked at each other. Instead of taking off the Joe, they pulled out the gun and stuck it onto the bed. Then one man pointed the gun diagonally towards the sky, and the other man aimed at the galloping horse in a standing posture.
Bang!
The sound of the gun sounded, and the horse was about to rush to pull the reins. The horse was in pain and raised its front hooves high and struck two soil marks on the ground. It barely stopped in front of the horse in the smoke and dust.
The flag army, which had released the lead in the bore, held its guns and tilted the sunlight after repelling the horses. Another flag army's bird gun had been set up on the horses. The muzzle pointed at the head of the horse with iron armor half a step away, and the movement was not hesitant.
"Damn it!"
The Knight of Scarlet Robe hurriedly pulled the horse and was frightened and angry. He raised his whip and wanted to hit him, but he could not fall down at the black muzzle.
The murderous aura on the flag army was restrained and he spoke, "The villain knows the bullfighting uniform on your body, but the Beiyang military law is not known. You should dismount. What a great Western horse, it would be a pity to kill him."
It seemed that the knight did not expect that the Beiyang Military Mansion's soldiers would be so arrogant and would fire the guns. At this time, he heard the sound of the rising and falling horns in the camp and the sound of the soldiers running in the formation, and it seemed a little difficult to get off. As if he was looking for confidence, he turned back to his companion angrily.
Unexpectedly, the other four horses did not stand with him, and even the horse that began to attack the barriers with him retreated and surrounded by a round fat man.
The fat man is no one else, but Xu Jue, the governor of the Jinyiwei who is now in power and in the court and the country.
Xu Jue looked at the gate of the military mansion like an outsider, looking at the door of the military mansion as if he was watching a show, and from time to time he pointed at the few people beside him, laughing, and it seemed that he was not the same as him.
"The factory guard label that Zhang Wu Lao took is exposed. Let's see. When Ye Mengxiong's old Guang came out later, he would definitely be forced to deal with him, and he would definitely be cowardly in the future."
After Xu Jue said that, several officials in flying fish bullfighting uniforms around him burst into laughter, but they didn't expect that the rider in front would not hold the bulls with the snatchmen, and came back on his own riding horse. He yelled: "Even the little snatchmen dared to stop me, Commander Xu, can you bear this?"
His name is Zhang Xun, his nickname is Zhang Wulao, the younger brother of the emperor's confidant eunuch Zhang Jing, and he is also the grandson-in-law of the Li family, the foreign relative.
"Don't ask me." Xu Jue's affairs were not related to him. He got off the horse and put his hands in his pockets along the python's robe and clothes. He looked around and smiled, "I have to put this on my body, I can tolerate it anyway."
"Can you bear it?"
Xu Jue nodded seriously, followed the hand in his pocket and pointed to the gate of the military palace: "I'm out, you can't run away now. If you're too late, I'll be caught. If you kill Wu Qingbo, he can't even say anything. Don't forget who the Minister of Beiyang is."
Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and asked, "Isn't it Ye Mengxiong?"
"Ye Mengxiong? He is an important official in Beiyang like Jing Haibo, but not a minister." When talking about the God of Wealth, Xu Jue's fat face was so smiled that he squeezed his eyes away. He raised his hand and pointed, "Think up."
While speaking, a hundred-family Beiyang Army had already arrived in front of the military government office to set up defenses. He refused to go up two rows of black guns to face the nobles in red robes. Xu Jue could still talk and laugh, but Zhang Xun didn't know what he thought of, so he hurriedly said that there was something to do at home and rode away.
It made everyone laugh.
The Beiyang ministers were also led by the chief minister of the cabinet, but only restrained the important officials of the Beiyang. They had no power to transfer troops on the Siyang Army Office on the surface. The power to dispatch troops belonged to the emperor in law, but the emperor actually did not have the power to transfer troops at present.
The three things in the east, south and south are not in charge, while the Beiyang is not in charge, or only if everyone has the same opinions can they manage together. Otherwise, the largest training ground in the world will be on the spot and can only implement the established half-year trip to sea. No one has the right to let them take a step out of Tianjin, and they themselves cannot do it.
"This grandson is so bragging that he is so loud that he regards himself as a kinship with His Majesty all day long. When he thinks of Jiangling, he is afraid." Xu Jue lowered his head and laughed, took the reins to someone else, touched the waist card to welcome the hundred households from the military mansion, handed out the tooth card and said, "The little guy has been scared away, please withdraw his defense."
"Xu Jue, the governor of the Jinyiwei Nanfufu Department, was ordered by the emperor to meet with the important official of Beiyang, Duke Ye, everyone, let's do it."
No one didn't know Xu Jue when the hundred households went up. To be honest, the hundred households were so upset when they asked the guards about the situation. If the person had a quarrel, they would definitely catch them. When the people above fought and finally made trouble, they would be punished with some salary. The soldiers below could not be lost.
Now that people have left by themselves, it is a good thing no matter what. After checking Xu Jue's tooth card and following a procedure, he welcomed several people into the mansion.
Of course, defense cannot be removed. With such a fuss, a hundred families must be on duty in front of the gate until tonight.
Xu Jue and his party were led to the Guanfang City Wall near the port on the east side of the military mansion. This was a cannon position. Ye Mengxiong led several Beiyang Biao generals to look at the sea from afar, put down his telescope and turned to Xu Jue, "Every time Xu Weishu comes, do you have to make some noise to feel relieved?"
"Oh, Mr. Ye heard it here?" Xu Jue bowed with a smile and said, "There is no way. There are always some villains around Xu. They can't understand the words, and they can't drive them away, and they can't scold them. They are willing to get close to me."
Ye Mengxiong nodded slowly, stopped looking at Xu Jue, picked up the telescope and looked at the sea, and said to himself: "It is easy to break when the weather is hot, and it is easy to catch flies when it is bad. It is good if it is cool."
Xu Jue did not take over Ye Mengxiong's words with a gun and a stabbing, and said to himself: "Three things, before leaving the third day of the first lunar month next year, we will read the tax bill of the Daqian. The master asked me to urge some departments to pay the price of the customs bill, and the other one is private things!"
Fatty Xu looked like he saw a ghost. He saw a monster slowly flying up on the beach in the distance under the battlement of the fort, and there were flag soldiers next to him. He held a big bag and seemed to be feeding the monster. The monster dragon head fish had a very long body and had wings. Xu Jue could no longer look familiar, that was the flying fish in the flying fish suit.
Exactly the same.
There was a tumor under the belly of the flying fish. Someone stood in the tumor. He slowly dried up with the flying fish while the flying fish expanded. The flag army in the tumor shouted and slowly ascended to heaven with the flying fish.
This scene was so shocked that Xu Jue could not even close his mouth. The hair on the back of his neck was straightened, which scared him so much that he almost ran away. However, no matter how hard he was on his legs, he could not use his strength, so he had to ask Ye Mengxiong with his upper teeth and lower teeth, "Then, what's that thing, flying fish?"
An old lucky boat floated on the sea in the distance. After the flying fish took off, it drifted over the lucky boat with the wind. The people in the wood tumour kept throwing something down. When they hit the sea, they splashed water, and when they fell on the deck, they exploded and ignited a fire.
Then Xu Jue saw the flying fish sagging from the abdomen and slowly falling down. When it landed at a height not far from the sea, it suddenly ignited a fire. The flag army on the wood tumor plunged into the sea.
"Save people!"
Ye Mengxiong gave the order, and turned his head with his teeth tightly clenched, and said to Xu Jue: "Yes, it's flying fish."
