The stars all over the sky disappeared, the jade rabbit sinks westward, and the golden crow rises eastward, which is the last moment before dawn. The ancient capital is trapped in boundless darkness.

A star is as big as a bucket, and appears far away from the celestial top, as if the stars in the sky fell from the mortal world, carrying a long red light - like an ancient dragon pounced on the earth.

A golden rooster crowed out from a distance, and the star suddenly exploded. For a moment, the sky was filled with golden light, and there seemed to be a giant dragon circling in the golden light.

The golden rooster crowed in two, and the golden light suddenly disappeared. In a moment, it turned into a very bright spot of light, which was brilliant and could not be looked directly at.

The golden rooster crowed three times, and everything returned to normal. The earth was still so calm. It was already dawn, and Beijing City was regaining its vitality.

No one noticed the changes that happened to a beggar where the light spot disappeared. With the last crisp sound, the beggar opened his eyes, and his originally dim eyes flashed with a terrifying light.

After enduring countless sufferings, he finally successfully returned to the past. The boy was excited and looked up. Although it was still early spring, the weather was still warm and cold.

But the green mountains are everywhere, the green water is bright, the endless birds and flowers are singing, and the countless red pine and green cypresses. It’s a pity that many catastrophes will be encountered in the beautiful rivers and mountains.

Unable to stop the agitation, the boy shouted loudly, "New China, I'm here." There were countless chickens and ducks that were shocked. An old hen who had just laid eggs flew to the top of the boy's head, and a soaked chicken manure landed on the boy's head without bias...

The boy is not the most unlucky one. At least one person is in a much worse situation than him.

"Brother Liu Tie, my important matter today is..."

"I want your mother..."

Before the boy could finish his words, Liu Tie's fist hit Ye Ling's eye socket, successfully turning the boy into a panda. Seeing this, the boy's men rushed forward and a one-sided battle began.

The result was unexpected. In just one stick of incense, the young man... was defeated by one of Liu Tie's subordinates. The young man ran away when he saw that the situation was not good. Liu Tie was chasing him with a cat playing with a mouse in his arms.

Finally, the boy was blocked in a dead end. Seeing Liu Tie and others approaching step by step, the boy knew that he would probably be beaten badly this time, and shouted in a hurry.

"Help, whoever comes to save me will definitely repay you."

After hearing this, Liu Tie "comforts" the young man.

"Ye Ling, stop shouting, no one will come to save you. You'd better work harder and suffer less."

Just when Ye Ling was panicking, a voice rang beside Ye Ling:

"Who said there was no one? Am I a human?" Ye Ling was overjoyed when she heard this and hurriedly looked over. The sound came from a basket in an alley. The basket lid opened and a person jumped out.

The strange young man in front of him was wearing a tattered beggar suit, and he could see strong muscles in the hole. Although he was a little taller and much stronger than ordinary people, Ye Ling still did not expect it to be.

Liu Tie was shocked at first, but later he saw that it was just a beggar and couldn't help laughing. Liu Tie signaled the guards to go up and drive away the little beggar.

"Boy, this is nothing to do with you, drive it away." The bearded guard said contemptuously.

"My name is Zhao Gang, not a boy." Zhao Gang stood up and looked at the guards in a straight look.

Seeing that Zhao Gang was so rude, the guard glared at his eyes and his fist as he was big, he had already smashed down with the sound of wind.

Ye Ling was so scared that she closed her eyes and did not dare to see the tragic situation that was about to happen.

However, after a while, Ye Ling had not heard the screams, so he carefully opened a crack. Ye Ling saw a strange scene. The beggar strangled the guard's neck with one hand and raised the guard into the air. The bear-like guard held the beggar's hand tightly with both hands, but could not move at all. He saw that his hands were hanging down weakly, and he would die in a moment.

Liu Tie on the opposite side was also stunned. The scene just now really surprised him. His subordinates were extremely powerful, and today they actually lost to a beggar in terms of strength.

Seeing that he was shocked by Liu Tie and others, Zhao Gang didn't want to cause any death. He waved his strength and threw the guards a few meters away.

"Zhao Gang! Hello, I have a good time waiting for tomorrow, let's come again."

After Liu Tie explained a few words in the scene, he took his subordinates away in shame. Seeing that Liu Tie and others were leaving, Zhao Gang was also about to leave.

Ye Ling, who had been hiding behind, was anxious and grabbed Zhao Gang:

"Brother, don't rush to leave."

Maybe because he was afraid that his life-saving benefactor would leave, Ye Ling's hand was a little stronger. Zhao Gang's clothes were already torn, and he was immediately torn apart. Zhao Gang was a little angry:

"I said, you, I went to my mansion to disturb me in the morning, and even tore my clothes torn. I have messed with you there, you are treating me like this!"

After saying that, Zhao Gang waved his sleeves, opened Ye Ling's hand, and was about to leave.

Seeing that Zhao Gang was in a hurry to leave, Ye Ling hurriedly shouted:

"My father is the Admiral of Zhili."

Sometimes, one sentence can match many sentences. When Zhao Gang heard this, his attitude changed drastically and he repeatedly hoped to do things under Admiral Ye. When he returned to the Admiral's Mansion, Ye Zhichao heard his son telling the story, and without saying a word, he appointed Zhao Gang as the chief guard. He was responsible for Ye Ling's safety.

After several contests, the guy who Liu Tie, who was not good at eating, was surrendered to Zhao Gang. Seeing the guy who had been provoked when he met before, he didn't dare to be arrogant now. Ye Ling was overjoyed and even obeyed Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang also tried different ways to find fun for Ye Ling, finding a new thing every few days, and sometimes even stole a gun to hunt. Some people were jealous of Zhao Gang's favor and secretly reported it, but Ye Zhichao was overjoyed:

"This is my Ye Zhichao's son."

He specially assigned 50 rifles and 5,000 bullets to Zhao Gang, and handed them over to Zhao Gang for safekeeping. Zhao Gang was asked to recruit a few people to accompany his son to hunt.

This gave Zhao Gang a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ye Zhichao, the useless man, would definitely not be good if he followed him. However, if he did not follow Ye Zhichao, how could he be a bottomless person?

No matter what you do, you must first form your own team so that you can survive the following chaotic times of Sino-Japanese War.

Zhao Gang hurried to Shengjing to recruit people. The people here are simple and most people retain the tradition of fishing and hunting. Moreover, there are fewer people who smoke smokers than in other places. With just a little training, they can become excellent soldiers.

The generous salary attracted many people, one of which was Wu Junsheng. As the commander of the Liaoyuan thief camp, although he was excellent in riding skills, he was depressed and unsuccessful.

When he learned that Zhao Gang was recruiting guards for Ye Shao’s army, he invited more than a dozen brothers with good looks to take horses to join Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang recruited these people, and was served with big fish and meat all day long. He rode horses and hunted them all in just a few days.

In a flash, summer came, and the bullets in Zhao Gang's hand were almost over, and the gun was broken a lot. He felt that the time was almost over, so he encouraged Ye Ling to ask Ye Zhichao for a fight.

"Hmm? Son, you said you were going to the Northeast to suppress the bandits?"

Ye Ling was speechless and couldn't speak. Zhao Gang, who was beside him, hurriedly helped him to speak:

"Xiaojunmen heard that the local bandits in the northeast were serious, so he wanted to eliminate the bandits and increase the glory of the admiral."

Ye Zhichao was stunned when he heard this. Decades of official career have turned him into a human spirit. If his children have this idea, it is really the sun coming out of the west, which is probably the idea that Zhao Gang came out.

Although he knew the truth of the matter, Ye Zhichao was not ready to expose Zhao Gang's tricks.

"Zhao Gang, do you know that the army is in danger and the entire army may be destroyed by accident. Ye Ling is my only son. Without a complete plan, how can I agree?"

"Admiral Ye, the small army only needs to plan and strategize in the general's tent, and do not have to personally suppress the bandits. The villain is willing to bear the responsibility of fighting with the bandits."

The next morning court, Ye Zhichao reported

"I heard that the bandits in the Northeast are rampant, so I am willing to lead Hu Ben to the Northeast to suppress the bandits, and ask the Empress Dowager to fulfill his wishes."

When Cixi heard the news, she was very happy to personally criticize the plaque of "Jiangmen Huzi", and promoted Ye Ling to the Qianzheng (from the sixth rank), and the pioneer officer Zhao Gang was promoted to the Qianzheng (from the eighth rank). She also named this army as the army of the Pinggang Army.

The next day, the weather was right, and Ye Ling lingered among the flowers and refused to go to the Northeast. Ye Zhichao had no choice but to let Zhao Gang take the position of head coach temporarily, and he also took special care of guns and ammunition. He sent a new type of Gatling heavy machine gun with only one base, and the other bullets were sent to Shengjing to collect.

After the arrangement was made, Zhao Gang led the Pingkou army to leave the capital and headed straight for Tianjin. After taking a boat in Tianjin for one day, he got ashore in Lushun, and then arrived in Liaoyang after a fast horse for one day.
