Boom, everyone laughed, the old housekeeper is a good person, he has been mixed in the Sijiu City Management family for a lifetime, and he is very good at handling the importance of work, and the last sentence of the three sentences is actually the point.

The girls in the inner house haven't seen their masters for a year.,I have to go to appease it.,It's not a good taste of the fire in the back garden.。

"Prime Minister, the work just now is enough for us to be busy for a while, my lord, you better have a good family banquet, Zhou Mingkui, let's go and take the right ride, or let him come back tomorrow......"

The room was suddenly filled with the sound of clattering chairs pulling, Xiao Lotian had already arranged a lot of work just now, and all of this required the big guys to work together to execute.

Xiao Letian sighed, "I'll send you off......" He knew that the girls in the inner house were looking forward to him going back, not that the girls had any ideas, but that the two hostesses were not at home, and their hearts were completely bottomless.

In a feudal society where men are superior to women, these girls who have been trained by the Department of Teaching since they were young are actually not complete in personality. Even if these girls are as independent and capable as Ping'er, or as hot as Qingwen and refuse to admit defeat, they always yearn for a master to protect them in their hearts.

Xiao Letian is the master, Fuhui and Hu Niu are the two wives, this home is their haven from the wind, they can have plenty of food and clothing here, there are no cold eyes and evil words here, and there will be no crazy men pounce on them here**.

The gate of this mansion is a paradise for girls, but there must be a master in heaven.

Fuhui was trapped on Jingshan, and Hu Niu stayed in the Ryukyus to accompany Fan Yao, and now only Xiao Lotian can appease these girls.

"Prime Minister stay, you better go back to the inner house...... I'm afraid it's going to catch fire if it's too late, hahaha...... "This group of narrow ghosts has urged Xiao Lotian to go back countless times along the way."

When the group walked to the gate, Zhou Mingkui, who was sitting in the gatehouse drinking bitter tea, rushed out of the room with a brisk step and gave Xiao Letian a thousand cleanly.

"The prime minister is above, please accept the bow of the lower officials......"

Xiao Letian gave up his hand to send Xiao Hexin away, turned his head to help Zhou Mingkui up, nodded and said, "Hmm...... You're very good, and you can maintain strict neutrality in this battle, which proves that you are still smart, and you are worthy of the care I put into you......"

When Zhou Mingkui heard this, he didn't scold himself, and even said that neutrality was right, and he couldn't find the north all of a sudden, and he thought that Xiao Letian was talking the opposite.

"Your Excellency... Humble ...... He was timid and afraid of things, and he did not stand on the side of the SAR with a clear banner, and asked for the forgiveness of the adults..."

Xiao Lotian knew what he was thinking in his heart and was not angry, "Okay, don't kneel anymore, I really don't care about you if you kneel down again, I still have a new task for you, don't delay Lao Tzu's time to eat......"

Unexpectedly, the officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were really a bunch of, and if you were kind and pleasant, he thought that you were trying to assassinate him, but when you were strict with him, he became energetic.

"Please give the Prime Minister's orders, and the lower officials will listen to you..."

Xiao Letian looked down on him very much, and waved his hand and said, "You have only one job now, that is, to go to Anmin, I gave Xiao Hexin a map, you go and ask for a copy, wherever my pencil circles, you will walk me through......"

"The local big households, the garrison, and the small officials, you have to meet with them, and let them tell them that my Xiao Letian's new army is just a land in the concession, not to rebel, the officials of the Qing Dynasty will still do it, and their taxes will still be paid...... Don't be cranky, tell them that this land is still in the Qing Dynasty, and no one will force them to be thieves..."

Zhou Mingkui almost jumped up in shock when he heard this, "Is what the prime minister said true? Are you not deceiving the lower officials? You have already defeated the army of the imperial court three times in a row...... What the hell are you trying to do?"

Zhou Mingkui is an official after all, and when he was waiting in the gatehouse, he had already read the newspapers translated by Xiao Letian from the Lion City, and Xiao Letian had completely convinced him of what he had done in Europe.

Chinese literati are extremely sensitive to such things as luck, Xiao Lotian is nominally the prime minister of the Ryukyus, but this can't deceive him, Xiao Lotian is now the Cao Cao of the Ryukyus.

Don't look at the Ryukyus small, but Xiao Letian's new army is strong... The Japanese, the French, and the Austrians all suffered at his hands, and the Americans, Prussians, and even the British now have great respect for him, and a man of such prestige is enough to dominate one side, if not to win the world.

Whether Xiao Letian can be the emperor or not, Mingkui doesn't dare to think about it this week, but Xiao Letian is definitely enough for the strength of a hegemon, in the Chinese dynasties, there are many overlords who are entrenched on one side, and even the emperor has to retreat when the power is strong.

Now that Xiao Lotian has strong reinforcements outside, allies inside, and a strong army in his hands, such an overlord actually wants to take the initiative to show weakness to the Manchus? He really couldn't understand it.

Xiao Letian patted Zhou Mingkui's head, "Don't understand, then don't watch it, listen to me, you're right, your kid has a good life, I guess I have to be promoted again this time...... Give you three days to finish these towns, go back and write a note to the imperial court, and I will send it to the Queen Mother for you......"

Xiao Lotian waved his hand, turned his head and walked to the inner house: "Go quickly, go quickly, remember this recital, let all the officials jointly guarantee it...... I want to sue all the ministers in the Forbidden City, I, Xiao Letian, have no empty rebellion......"

The figure of the prime minister disappeared outside the Moon Gate, leaving only the stunned Zhou Mingkui in a daze, he really didn't understand Xiao Letian's calculations.

After more than ten minutes, Zhou Mingkui stomped his feet and left here, and now he had no choice but to completely obey Xiao Letian's orders.

But when he returned to Tanggu City, the chaotic scene on the edge of the Haihe River made his hairs stand on end, "God, Xiao Letian still said that he didn't want to rebel, isn't this purely deceptive?"

On the edge of the Haihe River, the Wave Crusher was docked in the middle of the river, domineeringly blocking the mouth of the Haihe River, followed by two flying clippers with swaying figures.

On the north bank of the Haihe River, the new troops were gathering to board the boat in small boats, and the whole city was boiling with blood with the slogans one after another.

"Call to Tianjin...... Bombardment of Tianjin Wei ...... The Forces nouvelles are mighty..."

"Capture the city of Tianjin...... Domination of North China...... The new army wins..."

Zhou Mingkui's feet were so weak that he almost collapsed to the ground, just now the prime minister said that he would not rebel, why was he about to bombard Tianjin Wei in the blink of an eye? What is the difference between this and rebellion?

Zhou Xing, the head catcher next to him, knew what the adults were thinking, and he said with a sad face, "Do you think this is the end......?"

Following Zhou Xing's fingers, Zhou Mingkui looked at it, and suddenly fell into Zhou Xing's arms in the dark, "What...... Why are foreigners even involved?"

On the shore of the Haihe River, forty or fifty foreign devils who were sorting out their rifles and ammunition were whistling with a relaxed expression, and they hung their cigars and looked at the morale of the new army, and from time to time burst into applause and cheers.

"God bless you all...... An invincible iron army, our interests must be protected by ourselves...... Let the emperor lose money, compensate us for our losses......"

This group of foreign devils is really not afraid of big things, as soon as they heard that Xiao Lotian invited them to make trouble and there was an allowance to get, they couldn't close their mouths with a smile.

These years and months dare to cross half the world to come to China to beg for a living, foreigners have the spirit of adventure in their bones, they are either cowboys or adventurers, they are born to worship the strong, Xiao Letian is the most hungry for them.

What shocked Zhou Mingkui was not only that, in another corner, a group of preliminarily selected captives were strung together by ropes and walked over like centipedes.

Several vicious New Army soldiers took a prisoner and asked for a few confessions, followed by a sentence of "Do you confess?" If the captive pleaded guilty, someone immediately kicked him to his knees, and the old soldier with an axe cut off two of his thumbs, and then another veteran roasted a bayonet on the flames, and then broke a hamstring.

The screams frightened the group of prisoners for a while, and some of them were unwilling to rebel on the spot, but they were the opponents of the new army, and the corpses were hung on the flagpole as soon as the bayonets passed.

The bloody repression made those Eight Banner soldiers finally accept their fate, and there were only two choices in front of the new army, one was to die, and the other was to be disabled.

No one would say that Xiao Lotian is inhumane, in the middle of the 19th century, war still maintained the cruelty of the medieval world, since you dare to extend the butcher's knife to innocent people, then the subsequent punishment no matter how big you complain, that is the retribution you deserve.

Those crippled soldiers of the Eight Banners were dragged to one boat after another, and these bugs were not qualified to be on the giant ships of the new army, they only deserved to eat farts behind the tall warships.

At this time, even the captain of the boat was not afraid of these lost dogs, and sprayed a mouthful of spit into the cabin, "Your eight generations of ancestors, you are good at meeting the prime minister...... If we follow our minds, we will all throw you into the sea and rivers and feed you to the king......"

"The prime minister is really a bodhisattva, and he still lets you go home......? What do you think, what do you think..."

Zhou Mingkui couldn't understand it at all, he stood up with Zhou Xing's arm, and said with palpitations: "Arrange people immediately, let's go to the countryside, the prime minister's order must be executed even if he doesn't understand...... No wonder there were rumors of a hidden dragon before, this layout definitely makes sense, but why can't I understand it with my stupid brain?"

Zhou Mingkui went to carry out Xiao Letian's task, even if he didn't understand it, he had to do it, not only him, but all the forces in Tanggu were dancing under Xiao Letian's baton at this moment.

But just when everyone was busy dying, Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea had already beautifully burrowed into the bath, his whole body was surrounded by water vapor, and he called out for comfort.

"Oops...... It's better to be at home... Qingwen ...... Wouldn't it be a sin to bring you a bowl of chilled wine to the lord and not drink in the hot springs..."
