Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 569 Qi Hefengyun 2
There are still seven days until the sports meeting.

Nanyang City became more and more lively. Athletes from Luoyang, Xinyang, Jingxiang, Wuhan, and the surrounding prefectures who thought they had unique skills gathered here, ready to show their talents in the arena and win honors...Of course , It would be even more wonderful if he could be favored by the champion Hou like Zaji Chongweng and Shi Tianbao.The number of people who came to watch the game was one wave after another. Last year's sports meeting was too lively and famous. In addition, the time of this time has been adjusted a lot. If it is closer, after the sports meeting is over They all still have time to go home for the New Year, who wants to miss such a grand event?Many people even came from Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi. They must not be able to go home in time to celebrate the New Year, but celebrating the New Year in Nanyang is also good. Nanyang is not much less lively than the sports meeting.

With such a huge influx of passengers, the hotels, restaurants, and hotels in Nanyang were immediately overcrowded. Many people who owned buildings vacated a few rooms and advertised.The sales of vegetables, fruits, poultry, meat, etc. on the market have become extremely hot, and those supermarkets are almost overcrowded.Such a hot scene made all the major businesses smile, saying that this sports meeting is well organized, their turnover in the half month of holding a sports meeting has surpassed the previous two months, and the advertisements are so loud, it is too profitable!After making money, they become more and more happy to provide sponsorships. This is called investment. If you don't give investment, how can you get a return?Idiots who want to squeeze oil out of rice bran better stay away, otherwise they will lose Nanyang’s face!

The groups of important people who were invited also arrived one after another.

The first to arrive was Wu Sheng.This man has been in the limelight in the past two years. He has jumped from a wimpy general to a general in Denglai. The speed of his rise is really jaw-dropping, but he has nothing to say.Now his status is a bit embarrassing. It is said that the new army of Denglai formed under the support and training of the new army of Heluo. He didn't even know which side he was supposed to be at, and he could only silently express his desire to have physical relations with the female relatives of those civil servants.Now he has brought hundreds of Shandong men who can run fast, jump high and jump far, and have worked hard to practice football for a year. These Shandong men are followed by representatives of dozens of companies... That's right, It is through this grand event to promote.Denglai's characteristic industries such as seafood processing, salt making, coal, and phosphate fertilizers have already reached a considerable scale. What we need to do now is to go out and make a name for ourselves... These are all taught by Yang Menglong. The better the local economy is, the higher the taxes collected More and more, everyone understands this truth.

Yang Menglong went out of the city to greet him personally, and he punched Wu Sheng when they met: "Why are you here now? I thought you didn't plan to come."

Wu Sheng smiled: "How is that possible! Even if it means climbing, the general will still have to crawl over to participate in such a grand event! It's just that the journey is far away and the weather is not good, so I hurry up and hurry up, and finally I'm here."

Yang Menglong said: "I know you worked hard." He looked at the tall and powerful Shandong men and smiled: "You guys look quite powerful, but I don't know how many gold medals you can win?"

Wu Sheng said proudly: "I dare not say anything else. We have guaranteed the weightlifting medals." He pointed at Xu Meng and Wang Tiechui behind him. The two big men's chins were at a 45-degree angle with their necks. They were looking at the sky, "arrogant". All four words are written on his face.

After the Battle of Lushun, Wang Tiechui and Xu Meng were left in Dengzhou together.Yang Menglong discovered that these humanoid tanks, which are covered with heavy steel armor and can still run like flying, are the most effective if they want to rule the Jiannu. They don't need any tactics at all. The armor he was wearing directly charged Jiannu to death!Jiannu may still be a little bit dissatisfied with the pikemen and crossbowmen of the Heluo New Army, but he is obsessed with these monsters, dissatisfied... Those who are dissatisfied are basically chopped into pieces by the long-handled giant axe.Leaving Wang Tiehammer and the main force of the heavy infantry in Dengzhou, one can support Lushun nearby, and two, in case Jiannu breaks in again, they board a boat in Dengzhou and rush to help the capital. It is really convenient , It would be a waste to stay in Nanyang.

After settling the athletes, Yang Menglong invited Wu Sheng to the Hou Mansion for tea.

Wu Sheng had something on his mind, so he put down the teacup after taking two sips of tea, and said with some distress, "My lord, what do you think I should do?"

Yang Menglong was a little surprised: "What should I do?"

Wu Sheng said: "You single-handedly brought out the Denglai New Army. This army should be your direct descendant. With your order, more than 1 elite soldiers of the Denglai New Army marched forward bravely, with their arms and legs shoulder-to-shoulder. It is natural to fight to the death or not! But now the imperial court has placed the Denglai New Kingdom under the jurisdiction of Marquis Suyi. It is not our duty to obey his orders, nor is it our disobedience. But what should we do? The final general will really I don’t know what to do!”

Yang Menglong said easily: "Are you worried about this? In fact, you don't have to worry at all. You can do whatever Marquis Suyi asks you to do."

Wu Sheng shouted: "But..."

Yang Menglong interrupted: "No but! Old Wu, you have to keep this in mind. Marquis Su Yi is a gentleman. Everything he does is for this country and this land. He will not let you go Doing things against conscience is the same for me! The Heluo area is also under his jurisdiction. As long as he needs to use the Heluo New Army, he will come with an order, and the Heluo New Army will set off immediately, and there will never be a word Nonsense... it's all for this country, understand?"

Wu Sheng hesitated to speak, and finally sighed.

Yang Menglong smiled: "Don't worry, I have discussed it with Su Yihou. The mission of Denglai's new army is to support Lushun, and at the same time become the backup of the capital. He will not transfer you at will, let alone interfere in Denglai's affairs You also fought alongside him on the Lushun battlefield, don't you still trust him?"

Wu Sheng was obviously relieved.

Just as he was talking, Jiang Zheng came over to report that Qin Liangyu had led a group of athletes from Sichuan. Yang Menglong was overjoyed and immediately went out to greet him.

Qin Liangyu passed through Nanyang when returning to Sichuan, and was greatly shocked by the prosperity of Nanyang, and the soldiers under her command were also extremely envious.After resting for a period of time, she selected a group of athletes with good physical fitness to set off and come to participate in the sports meeting.Due to lack of preparation, she didn't expect to get any ranking, she only wanted to participate.Seeing Yang Menglong approaching him with a smile like a pistachio, she was also in a good mood, she stepped forward and cupped her hands and said, "Champion Marquis, are you all right?"

Yang Menglong said: "Very good, very good, but Aunt Qin, you came all the way over the mountains, it was too hard." His eyes rolled around, "Did you bring me any present?"

Qin Liangyu smiled heartily: "The champion gave the Sichuan army a big gift in Lushun. How dare I not bring some gifts when I come to Nanyang?"

Two heroic girls from Sichuan stepped forward each carrying a bamboo basket, lifted the cotton cloth covering it, and poked out two round heads, with black eye circles, big eyes, round belly, and That lazy expression is all refreshing the world's awareness of the word "cute".Yang Menglong's eyeballs protruded, and he exclaimed, "Giant panda!?"

Qin Liangyu was startled: "Giant panda? Champion Hou calls this a giant panda?"

Yang Menglong said: "What else can it be called if it is not a giant panda?"

Qin Liangyu said with a smile: "In Sichuan, we call them bamboo bears. They eat bamboo. They are very cute. I heard that Mrs. Yang is seven months pregnant and the child is about to be born. Old people caught two little bamboo bears. , giving it to Champion Hou, it can be regarded as finding two playmates for the child who is about to be born."

Yang Menglong picked up one of them carefully, it weighed about ten catties, it was fleshy, it was very warm in his arms, very cute.He hugged them, put them back quickly, covered them with a cotton cloth, and called: "Zaji, send them back to the Hou's mansion quickly, don't let them be cold and hungry, if they get sick, they will be in trouble, hurry up." point!"

Zhaji Chongweng took the two panda cubs and ran back to the Hou Mansion as fast as he could.Seeing Yang Menglong's nervous look, Qin Liangyu laughed: "If you really like the champion, I will give you two more. Anyway, there are many bamboo bears in Sichuan."

Yang Menglong said: "I'll talk about this later. I have to settle these two treasures quickly. If the national treasure is cold and hungry, it will be a big crime!" He hurriedly settled Qin Liangyu and his party, and then ran to discuss what to do without stopping. Place the two panda cubs.

The Sichuan officials who followed Qin Liangyu were all stunned.

The two Sichuan girls carrying the panda are both granddaughters of Qin Liangyu. Seeing that Yang Menglong ran away without even asking for a cup of tea, they were a little annoyed: "This champion is too outrageous! My mother came all the way. He ran away without saying hello, extremely rude!"

Qin Liangyu didn't take it seriously, smiled and said: "He likes those two little bamboo bears so much that he forgets everything else... That's the way he is, once he comes across something he likes, I just rushed forward with all my heart and didn't care about anything, it's really temperamental."

After she had spoken, the two girls didn't dare to complain anymore, they could only grit their teeth secretly.

Yang Menglong didn't know that he had offended someone, so he quickly summoned people from Nanyang City to discuss the expansion of the zoo.Nanyang Zoo is located on the outskirts of the urban area. The ground was broken in June. Now the main building is far away. The heating and water supply facilities are under construction and will be completed next year.This zoo encloses two hills and plans to feed hundreds of animals such as tigers, leopards, wolves, pythons, crocodiles, deer, goats, peacocks, monkeys, etc. in the future. Animals that do not exist in China, such as elephants and zebras, make it a good place for citizens to take their children to play and increase their knowledge.All the citizens are unanimously in favor of building a zoo. If you have money, of course you have to have a place for recreation. What?To spend a lot of money?Uninformed bumpkin, don't you know that money can only be called money if it is spent, and it can only be regarded as a pile of dead heavy metal hidden in the cellar?
Yang Menglong proposed to expand the zoo by another quarter.

People objected: "This is not acceptable, this will exceed the budget, and the construction period will be greatly delayed, it is not worthwhile!"

Yang Menglong took out the two panda cubs: "The fourth quarter is for them to live in!"

Everyone stopped talking, and all eyes fell on these two simple-minded little guys. Even the most serious people unconsciously smiled from the bottom of their hearts, and finally shouted in unison: "Yes! Yes!"
