"At the beginning of a person, his nature is good. His nature is similar and his habits are far apart. If he doesn't teach him..."

The crisp sound of reading sounded in his ears. Xia Shouli rubbed his eyes and got up. It has been two or three months since he received the order from Gu Zhenhua and Ma Wanchun and Ma Yanran to arrive at Shizhu.

When he first arrived at Shizhu, Xia Shouli was warmly treated. Qin Liangyu, who was infected, came to greet him in person. The soldiers on both sides of the stone pillars rushed to appreciate An**'s style. However, when they met, they were a little disappointed. Xia Shouli was thin and dry, bent down and hunched, like a big shrimp.

Although Qin Liangyu was old and sick, as a female general who could rush to the military formation, she was very tall, half a head taller than Xia Shouli. When the two stood opposite each other, they could not tell who was the barbarian!

The local soldiers frequently sneered at Xia Shouli, and even Qin Liangyu's eldest grandson Ma Wannian curled his lips.

"Second, third sister, is this one you invited reliable?"

Before Ma Wanchun could speak, Ma Yanran pinched her waist and said, "Brother, I will tell you, be polite to Mr. Xia. He is the confidant of the King of Zhongshan and is in charge of military supplies and food. He is here to help us. If he dares to neglect others, I will not agree!"

Looking at the girl's angry look, Ma Wannian couldn't help but smile and said, "Everyone said that girls are outgoing, as expected, it's just that Mr. Xia is a bit too shabby, third sister, your taste..."

"What are you saying, look for a fight, right?"

Ma Wanchun smiled and said, "Brother doesn't know anything. Although Mr. Xia is not very good, the Zhongshan King behind him is young, heroic, civil and military genius!"

"oh!"

Ma Wannian finally realized it suddenly. Haha, Ma Yanran's face turned red with shame.

Just as they were joking, Xia Shouli and Qin Liangyu met. He smiled and said, "Mrs. Qin, here he was ordered by the King of Zhongshan. First, to check the situation in Sichuan, and second, to send military supplies and food. In addition, the King of Zhongshan also said that Bai Gan Bing made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and deserves praise!"

Qin Liangyu smiled heartily: "Mr. Xia is so polite. We are just people who transform into foreign countries. We should be grateful to the emperor and be loyal to the country. Over the years, the Shizhu soldiers have only received some rewards. As for military supplies, food and money, we raised them all by ourselves. Now that the Shizhu can still be maintained, it will be no need for Lord Xia to worry!"

Xia Shouli never expected that he would come with silver and food. He actually asked Qin Liangyu to reject it, which made him feel feverish.

At this time, Ma Yanran suddenly jumped over and said hurriedly: "Grandma, Mr. Xia has brought a lot of things, why don't you want it?"

Qin Liangyu glared at her fiercely and said with a calm face: "It is not easy for the court, and it is not easy for us to be at peace. Over the years, we have never asked for military pay! Besides, Lord Xia has worked hard on a long journey. It is a great kindness to come and see us. The boats and cars are exhausted, so Lord Xia should leave some hard money for himself!"

Xia Shouli was so smart. Of course he heard a little unhappiness, but he knew that Gu Zhenhua respected Qin Liangyu very much and could not help him to act wildly.

Xia Shouli bowed and said, "The old lady is so polite. The King of Zhongshan allocated two million taels of silver. Even if he used silver to pave the road, he would not be able to use it!"

"How many?" Ma Wannian suddenly breathed rapidly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"Major General, two million taels of silver, the first batch of military rations, one thousand muskets, two thousand pairs of armor, and twenty tiger squat cannons. As for the subsequent supplies, they are still being transported. You will draw a list and it will definitely be shipped within three months."

Xia Shouli said something, and a thunder erupted in Ma Wannian's ears. The more he said, the more surprised he was. In the end, he was so confused by the thunder that it was dark. Ma Wannian suddenly became fierce and pinched his thighs!

It hurts so much!

"Grandma, grandson heard it right?"

Qin Liangyu was completely shocked at this time. She never dreamed that An** would give them so much military salary, which was like a dream, and she couldn't believe it at all.

"Mr. Xia, aren't you happy with your old body?"

"Mrs. Qin, I don't want to commit suicide. This is all told by the prince himself. He said that the Baigang soldiers served the country for many years, and countless patriots died in a foreign land. Half of the money was paid for the dead and injured soldiers, and the other half was used as military pay. From now on, all the Baigang soldiers refer to the standards of the soldiers, food and salary, etc., and this is all!"

Ma Yanran looked at the shocked elder brother and grandma and was so proud. She smiled and said, "Grandma, the king of Zhongshan is so generous, it is completely different from those officials before!"

Qin Liangyu also nodded, her eyes turned red, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

"Mr. Xia, I am ignorant, please forgive me!"

Qin Liangyu said with great blessings. Xia Shouli hurriedly supported Qin Liangyu and said in panic: "Old lady, Qin and Ma families, loyal and kind for generations. Not to mention the King of Zhongshan, even us, I have admired you very much. I have heard that you have suffered a lot of grievances over the years. Don't worry, from now on, if you have a bite of food, you won't treat you badly!"

Qin Liangyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, the mountains and fields make you feel wronged. Please come here."

Xia Shouli was taken to Xuanweisi's mansion. It was said that it was a mansion, but in fact it was equivalent to the level of a wealthy family in the Central Plains. It had no decorations and was very simple.

Qin Liangyu invited Xia Shouli to the main hall to sit. The old lady smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, I really didn't expect that the King of Zhongshan could be so generous, I really couldn't imagine that Laozi would be so generous!"

Xia Shouli said: "When the Baigang soldiers were pacified the Bozhou Rebellion, they served the army. Then they helped Liaodong and fought hard against the Tartars. Xia was also in Liaodong at that time and knew the bravery of the Baigang soldiers. In the battle of Shenyang, the Baigang soldiers defeated thousands of Tartars. This was an unprecedented feat in the field battles of the Ming Dynasty for many years. Then it was Ping She and the king. For decades, the old lady Qin was loyal to the country and was the leader of the female middle school. It is really admirable. The King of Zhongshan strongly supported the Baigang soldiers, one to repay you for your hard work, and the other to hope that the old lady Qin could continue to serve the country, defend the land of Dongchuan, and then eliminate Zhang Xianzhong and restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty."

Before Qin Liangyu could speak, Ma Wannian stood up first and patted his chest and said, "Mr. Xia, don't worry, as long as we are here in one breath, we will never let the thieves occupy Sichuan. Mr. Xia, it is not to be hiding. In the past, the court thought of the Baigang soldiers when there was something wrong with the court. We rushed to the forefront in war, and always asked for rewards in terms of merit. The court did not pay military salaries at all. Occasionally, some rewards were given, but as a result, most of the things sent were given to the decree officer. It's okay if you don't want it!"

Xia Shouli then understood why Qin Liangyu refused. He was also very moved. It was no wonder that the Ming Dynasty would destroy the country if such a loyal and brave soldier did not know how to use it!

"Old lady, Major General, the same thing, don't worry, An** is willing to be your strongest backing."

While talking, someone ran up.

"Report to the old lady, the fleet that transported the grain is here!"

"ah!"

Qin Liangyu was immediately overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Hurry, let everyone go, everyone transport the food together."

An** was keeping his word. The huge fleet entered the stone pillar, silver, food, and weapons, and all the white-rod soldiers on the stone pillar were boiling.

The piles of materials were transported to their hands, and Xia Shouli personally arranged the manpower, and Ma Wannian and others accompanied him, delivering silver and food from house to house. The warriors who died in battle more than ten years ago were all given pensions at this time.

The women held the silver and her husband's spirit card and cried bitterly, as if they were about to cry out for more than ten years of grievances. After finally enough crying, they called their children to their side, stuffed them a cloth bag, and drove them away.

Xia Shouli and the others had just walked around, and there were a large group of young people following behind them, all of whom were asked by their families to follow. The court really had a pension. The soldiers were no longer in vain. The courage and blood in the bones of native people burst out. Instead of being covetous for the rest of their lives, it would be better to use this life to fight for wealth! Even if they died, with these pensions, their family members could still live well!

Since An**’s supplies were delivered, the stone pillars have undergone earth-shaking changes. The white-rod soldiers, who had already taken the opportunity, have become active again. There are young and strong people coming to join the army everywhere, and Qin Liangyu is also so happy that he can’t stop.

Xia Shouli also helped adapt the Bai Gan Bing, and even established a school in the army to allow young people to read and read. All of these made Qin Liangyu happy, and the old lady regained her spirits and supervised training in person every day. She also sent Ma Wanchun and Ma Yanran to the school, allowing them to study with them.

This made Miss Ma so hard that it was okay to let her dance and play with swords. It was like she was trying to study. It seemed like she was killing her life. But Ma Wanchun also had an idea.

"San sister, we Shizhu doesn't care about poetry, songs, and knitting female workers, but we must care outside. Girl, if you are willing to marry Shizhu's man, I think you don't have to learn anything. Even if it's ten thousand times worse, someone will want you, and you won't be an old girl!"

"Who said I'm going to marry those rash men!"

"Hahaha, third sister, then you can take it and study hard!" Ma Wanchun smiled and stuffed the three-character scripture into Ma Yanran's hand, smiling like a lucky cat!

Shizhu was preparing for war, with more and more people, and the supplies outside were also continuously flowing, so it was impossible not to attract the attention of others. Emperor Daxi Zhang Xianzhong sharpened his sword and asked his four adopted sons to lead the troops to Dongchuan, and wanted to pull out the nail, Shizhu.

"Mr. Xia, it's not to be hiding. Lao Shi's health has been getting worse in recent years. This winter, I almost lost my life. I'm afraid that Lao Shi's attack was because Lao Shi was unable to command. Wannian's child was impulsive and probably could not take on the heavy responsibility. Lao Shi thought he would still give the defense of the stone pillar to Mr. Xia, so please don't refuse!"
