Chapter 384
"Daddy, do you think the flowers I picked look good?" Little Cherry held up the flowers in her hands, her blushing face, her **** eyes staring at Li Fushou, and she quickly complimented me.
"It looks good, of course the flowers we picked from Little Cherry are beautiful." Li Fushou smiled and leaned down to pick up Little Cherry, and kissed her round face.
Little Cherry was very excited to be praised. He held Li Fushou’s neck with two small hands and kissed Li Fushou a few times on his cheeks, which made Li Fushou’s face all saliva and he could only smile bitterly.
"Daddy, I want to put this beautiful flower in my mother's room, okay!"
"Okay, let's go and play together."
"Hey... go with daddy to put the flowers." Little Cherry cheered crisply, and her two small arms stretched out and waved, looking very happy.
Li Fushou has always spoiled his daughter, but the requirements for his son are very strict.
He came to the backyard with the little guy in his arms. Mrs. Xiang had already heard the news and greeted him. Next to him, Mrs. Sweet, who was a guest here, led a group of maids standing on both sides of the road, bowing and saluting to greet the master.
"I wait to greet the master, I wish the master a happy life and good luck in everything."
The nanny next to Little Cherry took a step forward, hugged Little Cherry, bowed her head and bowed to salute.
Li Fushou waved his hand and said; "Don’t be gifted, come in and talk."
Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Tian entered the room closely behind him. Li Fushou did his part and sat on the top of the room. The top position on the other side was empty. Sit up without authorization, this is the rule.
Mrs. Xiang Xiang and Mrs. Tian sat down at the bottom one by one. The two young women raised round beads and jade, bright eyes and white teeth with a moving style.
The two of them are Li Fushou’s earliest housemates, ranking first in the house and second in the house respectively, second only to his wife Gu Liuyan in the back house.
It can’t be compared like that. Gu Liuyan is the original wife of the Ming Dynasty media, while the others say they are concubines, but in fact they are just concubines, and their status is really different.
Fortunately, Li Fushou didn't care about this. He treated the aunt and wife who entered the Li Mansion with respect, and the inner house was peaceful.
Compared with Mrs. Gu Liuyan, who was born in a high-class mansion, his father Gu Yanchuan was the second-tier governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. The aunts and wives of humble backgrounds did not have the heart to compare at all. The gap was so big that it made people desperate.
"Xiang Niu, haven't you and Sweet Niu go for a walk recently?" Li Fushou took a sip from the teacup, then put it down and asked.
"In return to the master, Aqin invited a few sisters to go boating on the lake, Fuqin listened to music and played, and the two of us also joined in the excitement. We didn't come back until noon. We ate some yellow wine fatty crabs on the painting boat. It was that kind of taste. Very good coconut crab. My sweet sister and I shared one. This crab is really too big and can’t hold up after eating.” Axiang is a slow person, speaking with a dignified smile on his face. ; "Our sisters were a little tired, and were about to fall asleep when they came back, so the master came back with a little cherry."
"The coconut crab is cold, so I want to eat it with some rice wine." Li Fushou held a piece of jade ornament in his hand and said lightly; "Last time, the court tailor from Paris made all the clothes and skirts customized for you. Already, how does it look like?"
Tian Niu'er and Xiang Niu'er glanced at each other, Tian Niu'er sighed lightly and replied; "Lord, we really don't like to wear that kind of foreigner dress. Every time we wear at least two maids to serve, the most annoying The fishbone waist is too tight, I can’t even breathe, and the French sleeves are opened too much, which is really shameful. Anyway, our sisters can’t wear it. If you like it, Master, We will show it to you in the inner house."
"Yes, I'm ashamed..." Xiang Niu'er nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice.
Li Fushou smiled kindly and said, "Anyway, the clothes are made for you. If you want to make a few more outfits, you can wear a cheongsam if you are not used to wearing western skirts. How do we feel comfortable? Your mind."
"Thank you for your pity, huh...it would be a pity to spend so much money to make it without wearing it, or..." The sweet girl bit her lower lip, as if she had the courage to say; "At night, we will wear it to the lord. Just me and Axiang, we will not wear one more person."
After that, Tian Niu quietly stabbed Xiang Niu, only to see Xiang Niu Er Yu's face blushing, and her voice was so low that she buzzed like a mosquito; I won't wear it to death."
"Really not wearing it?"
Li Fushou looked at Xiang Niu'er with a smile, and saw that she blushed with fear and lowered her head, and said in a low voice; "Oh...Master, don't force me."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Fushou burst into laughter, winked at Tian Niu secretly, and nodded her head understandingly.
Tonight, let Xiang Niu wear it anyway.
Li Fushou sat in the hall in a good mood and talked for a while, watching Xiang Niu'er's sleepiness surge up, he laughed and stood up and left, to the Xiang Niu and Sweet Niu who stood up and prepared to send out the door. Said; "Look at how sleepy you are. I think you can fall asleep as soon as your head touches the pillow. Don't send it away. These empty heads are not important. I will fix some delicious dishes in the evening. I will rest here today. In the yard."
"Understood, sir, I will tell the chef to cook you a piece of lamb with skin for the main course?"
"Hehe... OK, I can't eat enough of this dish."
Li Fushou waved his hand and strode out the door. He soon came to the main courtyard. From a distance, he saw three young officers, accompanied by Lei Xiaohu, standing under the eaves waiting.
Several young officers saw Li Fushou's arrival, and immediately straightened their waists and saluted them in awe; "See the principal for the humble ranks."
"Free gift."
Li Fushou's stern gaze swept across the faces of the three young officers one by one, which put a lot of pressure on them.
The three men are at least the rank of major and deputy regiment. They can be described as outstanding young officers and representatives of the young military forces. Seeing Li Fushou’s expression is full of fanatical worship.
The older Lei Xiaopeng is the brother of Lei Xiaohu. He served as the deputy commander of the major in the Second Division of Kalimantan. The stout man is Li Shuanzhu. He is currently the commander of the Longmen Garrison District and the deputy regiment-level military position of the major.
The taller one is Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhengzhong, the second regiment of the Kalimantan First Division. He is the confidant of Deputy Commander Huo Xiaohu. When Huo Xiaohu was the deputy commander of the Leopard Cavalry Guard, Hu Zhengzhong was his company commander. , The two have fought side by side for many years.
A **** battle in Keynes has condensed a deadly friendship.
And Huo Xiaohu is one of the leaders of the young and strong faction of the military. He secretly organized the Skull and Bones Society fanatically following the principal, treating the principal as a spiritual totem, and swearing to follow...
"Hu Zhengzhong, Lei Xiaopeng, Li Shuanzhu, you are all outstanding soldiers. You have proved your loyalty and bravery with your blood and life. I am proud of you."
The praise of Lord Earl made the excited faces of the three young soldiers flushed, their eyes flashed with fanatical worship, and they replied in unison; “I wish to serve my life under the principal’s account, perform military duties, and defend military honor.”
Li Fushou nodded and said; "As a pioneer, I hope you will closely follow in my footsteps and open up a dream home for the Chinese ethnicity in Australia thousands of miles away, with support for the elderly, education for the young, and worry-free food and clothing. Everyone can enjoy peace and happiness, and I will never be alone from now on!"
"May I have a tail, even if I die, I will not regret it." The three replied in unison, vowing sonorously and powerfully.
Li Fushou nodded with satisfaction, and stepped away first, and said a word without looking back; "Hu Zhengzhong, come to my study."
"Yes."
Hu Zhengzhong stood at attention with his legs "pop", saluted, and then followed the Lord Earl into the study.
Lei Xiaopeng and Li Shuanzhu showed envious eyes. The two of them waited patiently with Lei Xiaohu. After the Lord Earl and Hu Zhengzhong finished their conversations, they would be summoned separately.
This is a habit of Li Fushou. Every officer in the army who is at or above the deputy regimental position must be summoned separately, combined with the officer’s character assessment reported by the Security Office, and the officer’s resume and military merit assessment reported by the General Staff. The above officers interviewed to deepen the impression and put them in the right place.
Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must not be observed.
Today, in the highest division level of the Queensland National Guard, there are a total of 17 officers at or above the rank of deputy regiment, and 5 divisions are 85 people, plus the Guards, Leopard Cavalry Guards, Wolf Cavalry Guards, General Staff and Coast The total number of officers in the garrison, deputy regiment and above (including division, deputy division, main regiment, and deputy regiment) is as high as 152.
These officers, Li Fushou, have to meet one by one and personally evaluate them, and some of them are not once or twice. This shows that they attach great importance to the middle and high-ranking officers in the army, and remove anyone who is not suitable for the army in order to maintain the purity of the team. And a high degree of cohesion.
Therefore, Li Fushou has a very high degree of control over the army. Today's young officers are mostly from the Young Eagle School, and the fanatical loyalty is even more terrifying.
For these young officers, Lord Earl has the grace to reinvent, and he is an out-and-out mentor (principal). It can be said that everything in the army was created by Lord Earl, and has unquestionable authority.
In the study
Li Fushou talked with Hu Zhengzhong for a while, and was very satisfied with his performance in all aspects. Turning over the assessment materials on the table, it said;
The officer has a good character, an upright personality, a distinct love and hatred in his personality, loyalty and reliability, and a cautious and thoughtful behavior. The shortcomings are lack of flexibility, relatively old-fashioned and conservative, and poor ability to command higher-level troops.
The specific example of the battle was the battle in Borneo. At that time, the deputy head of the regiment Hu Zhengzhong (Deputy Mayor Huo Xiaohu also served as the head of the second regiment) led the troops. During the offensive, they encountered a side attack from the White People’s soldiers. Hu Zhenzhong’s response plan was to battle. Although the line dealt with militia attacks, although the enemy was hit hard, its own losses were not small.
In the post-event case study, some staff officers pointed out that the use of soldiers’ battle lines against white guerrilla militias was not effective, and they paid more casualties than the other side, and the battle was very hard.
This view is that the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom, it is not the mainstream voice.
Under the support of the deputy commander Huo Xiaohu, Hu Zhengzhong still won the second regiment commander by accumulating military exploits. This is also Huo Xiaohu's team in the Kalimantan First Division. The main officers are the old brothers brought out by the Leopard Cavalry.
It’s not surprising that the military has hills. For those in charge, if the military is really monolithic, that’s something worth worrying about. It can be said to be terrible.
Li Fushou closed the page, tapping on the table with his slender fingers, silent.
Opposite, head Hu Zhengzhong sat on a stool with his waist straight, his hands unconventionally placed on his knees, and his expression was extremely rigorous.
If you look closely
It can be found that he is only sitting half of his buttocks, and a thin layer of white hair has appeared on his forehead, which is quite tense and formal.
"Zhengzhong, have you thought of leaving the army one day?" Li Fushou asked.
Hu Zhengzhong was obviously taken aback, and then replied with a resolute expression; "Report to the principal, Zhengzhong will not turn a corner when he does things. In this life, he will be willing to work for the principal in the army. I am willing to go to any difficult place. The humble job knows that his ability is limited, even if As a company commander leading troops into battle, he has no regrets. Please the principal give me this opportunity."
In the second half of speaking, Hu Zhengzhong's voice was already trembling, and dim tears appeared in his eyes.
He loves the army and really doesn’t want to leave!
"That's it..." Li Fushou thought about it carefully, then picked up the file next to it and looked at it. "The disciplinary department within the military used to be part of the Security Department, and it was a subordinate of the Deputy Director of the Security Department. The management of the Military Security Section now seems unreasonable, and it often causes many conflicts between the Security Department and the military.
Therefore, I considered taking out this department separately and it belongs to me. This department is directly responsible to the Red Fort. The specific name is the Military Intelligence Department. It is responsible for the internal purge of the army, maintaining army discipline, honor and battlefield law and discipline, and punishing corruption in the army. Corruption, from the division commander to the chief of staff, is within the scope of the investigation. No one can be an exception. It is a great responsibility to keep this army healthy from being corroded by worms!
Zhengzhong, I really like your upright character, and I deliberately entrust this burden to you. What do you think? "
Hu Zhengzhong jumped wildly in his heart. He already understood that this department has great power and is a road to blue clouds. Now this great opportunity is beckoning to himself, he immediately stood up and replied; "Thank you, the principal for training, Zhengzhong is grateful for inexplicable. I will do my best to be loyal to the king's affairs, get rid of any worms that corrode the body of the army, impose severe punishments, and never treat me. I swear by the honor of a soldier, resolutely perform my duties, and maintain consistent loyalty to the principal. If I break this oath, I will There was thunder and thunder, and I fell into Abi Hell, people and gods hated it."
Li Fushou stood up and nodded solemnly. He didn't say anything to interrupt Hu Zhengzhong's oath, but walked up to him and took a satisfied look, stretched out his right hand and patted Hu Zhengzhong's shoulder vigorously, and said; Zhengzhong, there is one in your name, one is loyal. What is even more rare is that you have an upright character and a clear love and hate. I hope you will keep this original intention and help me to look good on the army as a family."
"Zhengzhong understands that he will never fail the principal's high hopes."
"Well, I'm relieved."
"Principal Zheng Zhongmeng granted a great trust, and he will manage the Military Intelligence Service with a mentality of walking on thin ice, and he will never slacken his efforts."
"Okay, I have confidence in you." Li Fushou patted Hu Zhengzhong on the shoulder again, and said with a gentle expression; "Don't have too much pressure, you need to relax at work, then you go back and prepare for a new appointment. After taking over as the Chief of Military Intelligence, go to study for a period of time. Personal issues must be arranged. Then you should go out first, and then call Lei Xiaopeng in."
"Yes."
Hu Zhengzhong's excited words trembled, and he solemnly paid a military salute, then turned and left.
Looking at the upright figure of the soldier leaving, Li Fushou's mouth was filled with a smile, and he was very satisfied with the improvement of his current speaking skills.
The Chief of Military Intelligence was originally to be appointed to Hu Zhengzhong, but Li Fushou’s previous sentence "Zhengzhong, have you ever thought of leaving the army one day?" It really seemed like a shock, and he almost didn't scare Hu Zhengzhong to death.
The mood suddenly sank from full of expectation to the abyss, and then Li Fushou thought about it embarrassingly before handing over the throne of the Director of Military Intelligence to Hu Zhengzhong. This contrast effect is very different. I really appreciate it!
A few plain words made Hu Zhengzhong's mood like a roller coaster ride up and down. If you don't talk about it, you can't say that the loyalty of this product has undoubtedly increased to the full level.
Li Fushou has no system. If there is a system, there should be a “ding” sound now;
Host, please note that the loyalty of your summoning officer Hu Zhengzhong has risen from 92 to 110, which has already exploded the highest prestige value. His relationship with you has risen from admiration to fanatical worship. You have achieved the latest achievement "The One You Want" .
You will get the following milestones;
One-tenth of a salesperson who is in a hurry.
Master Fudge 1/30
After summoning officer Hu Zhengzhong to reach a fanatical worship relationship, it will include but not limited to sacrifice one's body to block bullets, brazen the arrow to charge to the death, get angry at any misconceptions, swear to defend the principal, and so on.
Please note that every life-threatening action of the summoning officer has a certain chance to drop reputation points, please use it with caution.
"Report to the principal, Lei Xiaopeng will report."
"Well, Xiaopeng is here." Li Fushou stood up and walked over, patted Lei Xiaopeng's shoulder vigorously, and said affectionately in his eyes; "Have you ever gone to the Martyrs Shrine to pay homage to your father?"
"Principal, I... have been there. Father is very good." At this point, Lei Xiaopeng, an upright man, burst into tears, silently flowing on his face; "Thank you, principal, for giving my father the first place on the altar. There is a place in a row, and I am grateful for my humble position."
The incense stick position in the first row is conspicuous and glorious. It's very people's ranking can be placed there. It is not qualified, even if it is empty (see the first row of concert tickets for details)
"Oh, I regard Lei Xiao as a father and a brother. This time his heroic sacrifice made me especially heartache, like a broken arm!" Li Fushou sighed and patted Lei Xiaopeng on the shoulder and said softly; "It is inevitable that people will die, or Heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather, Lei Xiao dedicated his life for our common dream. The heroic death is worthy of the admiration of future generations. His death is heavier than Mount Tai and will always live in our hearts."
The evaluation behind this person was extremely high. Lei Xiaopeng was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself. He knelt on his knees and knocked Li Fushou three times in a row, and Li Fushou couldn't help it.
This is a son who thanked the lord for giving his deceased father's posthumous name. This was a remarkable reputation in the feudal era where the name behind him was especially important.
As a high-ranking person, Lord Earl’s words are very important. If the earth is torn as the king one day, this posthumous name can be included in the genealogy, which is extremely important.
