With the small gift of spicy essence as a lubricant, Zeng Guofan and Mai Ke's negotiations went quite amicably. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, at this time, it was not easy for the chief representatives of the two hostile forces to sit together, and after sitting down, they would certainly be tense and even very likely to fight each other.

But these two are like old friends.

Of course, their respective positions still go their own way, and they have not changed in the slightest because of the friendly attitude of the two.

Zeng Guofan still insisted on Confucius's set, and did not become soft because of the spicy essence, and certainly did not become stronger because of the high spiciness.

It is the way of Confucius and Mencius as always.

If it weren't for the spicy gift, which he really loved, and hoped to continue to supply it in the future, it is estimated that he would not even be able to make the surface soft.

Zeng Guofan can be known for his stubbornness.

Of course, Ye Mingchen was present, and the role of harmonizing the atmosphere should not be underestimated.

Governor of Liangguang, that title is not trivial.

Both sides are friends, but he doesn't want to help anyone, in essence, no one wants to hurt.

Of course, this kind of non-harm, just on the surface, in his heart he still helped McCork more.

Although Ye Mingchen in history was a hardcore royalist, he had nothing to protect except the emperor in that era, although he knew that the emperor was really nonsense and had no value in keeping.

Now, he stands more on an objective standpoint, as a third party to see the struggle between the Manchus and the kingdom of heaven.

To be realistic, if you give a score, he gives McKe 100 points, and gives Manchu Qing zero points!

However, he and Zeng Guofan are friends, everyone is in the same boat, he can't just take care of himself!

As an intellectual and a high-ranking official in the former Qing Dynasty, he can't easily change his banner.

The three of them sat down, and Mai Ke was about to talk about business, but he didn't expect that Zeng Guofan took out the spicy essence box again.

It turns out that he can't wait, he has to enjoy it first!

I don't know where to dig it out, Zeng Guofan took out a square black thing.

He put it on the table, unscrewed the cap of the spicy bottle, and sprinkled a layer on the black thing!

One floor!

About one-third of the bottles of spicy essence were pasted.

Ye Mingchen was a commentator on the side.

He said that the black thing was a special snack called smoked tofu in Hunan.

The basic ingredient is tofu, but it is made by adding various condiments such as bacon and fresh meat, and then smoked it.

The taste is mellow and chewy.

This is also Lao Zeng's favorite.

This favorite food, coupled with his favorite spicy essence, must make Lao Zeng want to stop!

Really. After Zeng Guofan smoothed out the spicy essence, he picked up the smoked tofu and took a bite hard!

This time, the spiciness is a little more powerful than the last time!

Last time, it was poured over the meal, which greatly eased the original spiciness, but this time it was not eased in the slightest, and the smoked tofu itself is quite spicy!

What I used to eat, how can I do it if it's not spicy?

As always, Lao Zeng took a bite and suffered a lot.

At first, he was not obvious, but halfway through his swallowing, a fire exploded in his throat with a "bang".

Suddenly, Lao Zeng's throat, tongue, mouth, lips, and stomach all burst into flames.

The first-class adult, who was calm and abnormal, and was not in a panic, jumped up from his seat all of a sudden.

I saw Lao Zeng stomping on the ground with both feet and grabbing his throat with his left hand, as if this could extinguish the fire.

The other hand picked up the cold water on the side of his bowl and took a sip.

Then he did the same for the bowl prepared for Mai Ke. felt that even the cold water of the two wrists still did not solve the problem, and he hurriedly poured Ye Mingchen's bowl down.

Mai Ke saw that he was really anxious, and he was afraid that he would make his throat bad and affect the subsequent talks, so he took out a small bottle from his waist bag, handed it to Lao Zeng, and said, "Drink this." ”

Lao Zeng was in a hurry to go to the doctor, he didn't think much about it, he took it and poured it into his mouth, and Mai Ke had already opened the stopper in advance.

Suddenly, Lao Zeng felt a clear spring at the entrance, down the mouth, over the tongue, through the throat, pouring into the stomach, up and down the body in an instant, a thousand holes, a piece of pleasure. The fire-like spicy heat just now vanished in the blink of an eye. Lao Zeng was sweating profusely, relaxed down, and collapsed on the stool.

The liquid medicine that Mai Ke gave Lao Zeng to drink is a special medicine, not to mention spicy, even if it is highly toxic, it can be solved.

However, if the poison is not solved, it will kill people, but this giant spicy will not kill people, although it can make people lose their voice after a long time.

Therefore, Mai Ke still gave him medicine for the subsequent negotiations.

When Zeng Guofan was enjoying spicy food, Ding Shanqing also participated.

As the head of the mountain, that is, the number one leader of this Yuelu Academy, he has a lot of things, and of course he is not as detached as Zeng Guofan and Ye Mingchen.

In fact, Ding Shanqing had already made preparations with both hands, and he was also making the final arrangements just now.

Wen's single-handedness is to mobilize all the senior teachers of Yuelu Academy, so that they can be ready to go out at any time to defend Confucian orthodox morality!

Wu's hand is even more powerful.

Although Ding Shanqing's martial arts skills are not high, his military talent is very good!

Not only did he study the art of war, but he also wrote military treatises, and in addition to his regular students, he created a special class of military generals.

The characteristic of this military general class is that all its students are both civil and military.

As a military general, it is logical that he has high martial arts!

Since you come to school, you must have a certain level of education!

Therefore, Ding Shanqing called this military general the "cradle of Confucian generals", which means that after a period of nurturing in this class, the graduates who went out were all Confucian generals!

Now these people are just in the right place!

The three people on the Manchu side have all arrived, and Zeng Guofan has also been overwhelmed, and now it is time for serious negotiations.

On the side of the Heavenly Army, only Mai Ke is the main talker, and everything he says is a promise on behalf of the Heavenly Army.

On the Manchu side, Zeng Guofan was the main talker, Ding Shanqing was the deputy, and Ye Mingchen was basically watching the excitement.

Of course, Zeng Guofan can consult him and ask for his opinion, and Zeng Guofan has full discretion to decide whether to adopt it or not.

McCor, of course, was still in that way, preaching the gospel to them.

For McCor, this is no slouch.

He knew very well that his duty was to preach the gospel, but whether the three members of the audience could listen or not was not determined by his power, but by the power of God.

Once you listen to it, you don't need to do any other negotiating effort.

It is equivalent to solving all the problems at once.

However, nothing like this happened today.

So, McKee didn't get lazy.

It remains to talk about the specifics.

Everyone knew each other, and no one was going to waste time on trivial matters, so everyone was very open and agreed.

That is, how to fight below!

Specifically, it is the way of Confucius and Mencius represented by Zeng Guofan, and the various schools in the Heavenly Army are engaged in civil attack and martial arts!
