"You are? Forgive me for being clumsy, I don't know the real person in person, and I ask your Excellency to report a million people. Zhang Yuting was not familiar with the person in front of him, but the other party reported his name in one mouth, which also made Zhang Yuting feel that his face was bright.

"Yu Shuai is well, he is a political envoy in Shanxian Shandong, the presidential system of the Wuyi New Army, and Wu Chenxuan, chairman of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, came to visit." Wu Chenxuan had already remembered why he was so familiar with the small place of Octagonal Terrace, and dared to feel that there was a real dragon lying here, and the future king of the Northeast was here, so he couldn't say anything if he didn't come to worship the mountain. He has an egalitarian mentality, so his attitude is very peaceful. However, Zhang Yuting didn't know his future positioning, and he didn't expect such a great god to come to his small temple.

"Oh, it turned out that it was Wu Fantai in person, and he didn't dare to be an adult, and Zhang Yuting, a grass citizen, visited an adult." Although Zhang Yuting is young, but his knowledge is not shallow, although he was also surprised, but he still collected his mind and forcibly gave Wu Chenxuan a salute calmly, although Zhang Yuting was still suspicious at this time, a provincial domain with hundreds of people and horses through the state to this poor country, this thing is really incredible. Zhang Yuting was also not accurate, so although the courtesy was thorough, he never let go and did not invite them into the tunzi.

"Brother Yuting, don't be polite. Ben Shuai heard that you organized an insurance team to protect your neighbors and calm the people, and what you did was admirable. "Wu Chenxuan hugged his fists, and he replied very casually" Ben Shuai was also a businessman back then, and he also organized an insurance group to escort businessmen. Luckily, I was able to make a small contribution, and thanks to the grace of the Queen Mother, I have today's achievements, and I am also the initiator of the insurance group. I have a fate to meet today, and I want to renew my friendship with Brother Yuting, but I don't know what Brother Yuting wants? ”

"This" Zhang Yuting felt that he was now riding a tiger, if this was really the Shandong Domain, then his big face would fall to the ground, not only would a chance be lost, maybe he would offend the true god, and the blessings and misfortunes would be unpredictable. But if this man is deceiving him, then their situation is even more worrisome. Yu Shuai is Yu Shuai, although his face was hesitant, but he weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and said in his heart, "The lord of the domain is serious, and the grass people dare not climb high, and I also invite the adults and the general masters to go to the tunzi to rest for a while." Although it is poor and remote, and the materials are scarce, it is also good to let the landlord do a little bit of friendship. ”

"In that case, Brother Yuting, please lead the way."

"Let's go with the grass people" Since Zhang Yuting has agreed, Wu Chenxuan is not worried about him. took a group of soldiers into the tunzi, and the soldiers' equipment made Lao Zhang look straight in the eyes. Not to mention the two guns, there are also light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and the bullets and shells on the car immediately rise to the tip.

"Brother Yuting, the recent exchange of fire between Japan and Russia, have the surrounding people suffered?"

"Don't hide it from my lord, this time Japan and Russia are fighting, most of the people of the Liaodong generation have fled, our Tunzi is quite peaceful, and we have also received hundreds of displaced people, and the old and young masters in Tunzi also want to rescue a few more, but their shoulders are narrow and they can't bear these many burdens."

"Brother Yuting is telling the truth, brother, I have also seen the displacement of people along the way, starvation everywhere, it is really a shame for my generation of officials and soldiers. The people usually eat and drink well to feed us soldiers, and this war is together, and we are expected to maintain their well-being, but we end up like this. In the future, how can I have the face to meet the people again? To put it mildly, even if it is a dog with leftovers from ordinary people, the owner will have to snort a few times when he is in trouble, and those of us who wear military skins can only walk with our tails between our legs in this land of Liaodong. I'm ashamed. Wu Chenxuan sighed, with an attitude of worrying about the country and the people, if he faced the Northeast King twenty years later, it might not have any effect, but now Zhang Yuting's blood is not cold, and he sees that the imperial court officials care so much about the people's welfare, and they are fixed in the traditional Qingguan complex of the people, so he naturally has a good feeling in his heart.

"What the adults said is that Yu Tingxi, as the captain of the insurance team in these ten miles and eight towns, has also failed to protect the territory and the people, so that the old and young masters have suffered a lot. Yuting also felt deeply ashamed in his heart. "Zhang Yuting was moved, but he didn't let go of his guard." Please forgive the little rap, I don't know how the adults are doing this trip? If it involves major military affairs, the small ones naturally don't dare to say much, and they think of the small ones as too talkative. If you can use the villain, the little one should serve the court. ”

"I hit it off at first sight with Brother Yuting, although this time it was an errand assigned by the above, but it doesn't hurt to share a word or two with Brother Yuting." Wu Chenxuan saw Zhang Yuting so good, so he naturally knew everything and had a good relationship with this Northeast king. "Brother Yuting, I don't know what you think of the war between the two powers of Japan and Russia in the Northeast."

"The Japanese are greedy, the Russians are brutal, and they are all salivating in the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty. Although the Japanese army is elite, it is a new country after all, and its national strength is not worse than that of the old Maozi, and if it cannot win by surprise, it will definitely be defeated. Although Lao Maozi has a lot of troops, most of the soldiers are serfs, and they may still be able to show off their power in the Qing Dynasty on weekdays, but it is probably wishful thinking to ask them to fight to the death for their tsar. In addition, the land route in the north is long, and the supply is difficult, I am afraid that if the Russian army gains the momentum, it will be difficult to completely annihilate the Japanese army. ”

"Oh, Brother Yuting, you are in the countryside, but your eyes are like torches, compared to the accuracy of many adults in the middle of the court, the younger brother admires." Wu Chenxuan was really a little shocked, this reckless Northeast King, although he may not be highly cultivated, but his vision must be outstanding. But it is really unbelievable that he first joined the Russian army and then switched to the Japanese army after being captured.

"My lord, you've won the prize. The little blind guess Humeng, how do the people of the countryside know the Chaotang Temple. Although Zhang Yuting is humble in his mouth, his deliberate teasing is by no means a momentary quick mouth, but wants to see if there is a chance for a carp to jump into the dragon gate. Wu Chenxuan's experience over the years, these tricks have been seen a lot, but it is also a pleasure for a giant in the history of the Republic of China in the future to be able to flatter and invite him and treat himself as a ladder.

"Brother Yuting, I won't tell you. This time, my brother and I used the army to march into Liaodong with the Manchurian Volunteer Army, but we were able to pull the shelf. ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Brother Yuting, brothers, it hasn't been a few years since the Gengzi Kingdom changed. At that time, Lao Maozi sent troops to occupy our three eastern provinces on the grounds of "protecting the Eastern Railway". It's been five years now. Did the imperial court ever have the ability to expel Maozi and recover his homeland? ”

"My lord, what you said, if the imperial court can send troops to recover the three eastern provinces, then do we still need to look at that Bolonov's face?" Tang Erhu shouted loudly, Zhang Yuting secretly complained in his heart, and said in his heart, "Big brother, you are really my big brother!" Let's talk to Lao Maozi and the snake, isn't it all because the court is not angry? This beating does not slap people in the face, and scolding people does not expose shortcomings. You accused the court of incompetence in front of this court official, and told others that you hugged Lao Maozi's big thick legs, and it is not too much for that person to kill you as a collaborator and traitor. Zhang Yuting was secretly anxious, but he couldn't attack, so he had to act at the opportunity, hoping that this Lord Wu could pass sloppily.

Unexpectedly, this master did not have the consciousness of being an official at all, but nodded: "Ah, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads." Brother Erhu is right, this court is purely a decoration, and he doesn't even dare to let out a fart, where do he dare to play tricks with Lao Maozi. ”

Clearing his throat, Wu Chenxuan continued to analyze, "So in fact, in the case of Lao Maozi's invasion of the entire Northeast, the imperial court has only the following choices: the first is to let Russia invade and occupy it, work hard, and hope that one day, it will fight a decisive battle with Russia and recover the Northeast. This is easy to say, if the Russian army repairs the railway, supply is not a problem, just with our mess, sooner or later we will have to let Lao Maozi go to the customs. The second is to take advantage of the contradiction between Japan and Russia to agree with the Japanese army to drive out the Russian army, but after the fact, it will not negotiate with Japan, and let Japan completely replace Russia and take charge of the entire territory of the three northeastern provinces. It doesn't make sense at all, it's just a change of dad. The third is to agree with the Japanese army to drive out the Russian army, but not to pay Japan. However, this little Japanese is not tall, but his head is not stupid, who can let you borrow a donkey to pull and grind white, so it is pure wishful thinking. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, isn't there a solution? Are all the people in our Northeast who are cattle and horses for foreigners? Tang Erhu smashed his fist on the wheel, shaking the car for a while.

"There is another way, which is to agree with the Japanese army to drive out the Russian army, and afterwards the imperial court will recover the entire northeast, and then cede a small part of the land and sovereignty as a reward to Japan. Just think of it as a big job in the wheat harvest, and hire a wheat customer to help, you can't let the family work in vain. In fact, the lesser of two evils is the best choice that is in line with the best interests of the Qing Dynasty today. As for the first three options, they will only be worse than this one. ”

"What the adults said is reasonable, who made us a weak country." Zhang Yuting also weighed silently in his heart, if he was the first assistant of the Qing Dynasty, there was no other way, and he thought so.

"Alas, it's really aggrieved, but we can only play prestige against the people with the guns we have, haven't we become threshold monkeys?" Zhang Jinghui also sighed.

"But Japan and Russia are dogs who can't change their, and fighting in our three eastern provinces is not a three-day and two-morning war, maybe the fight will help him for more than a year. The people suffered a great sin, so when the little devil came to us to buy weapons, my brother and I had an idea and made a deal with the little devil, and we sent troops to help him fight Lao Maozi, so that the war could end quickly. And this war is not fought in vain, I have an agreement with the big boss of the little devil that all the people in the war zone to which I belong will be protected by me, and the Russian army and Japanese troops will not be allowed to enter, so that I can support a safe zone for the people of the northeast, and the blood of the brothers has not been shed in vain. ”

"My lord is righteous, and I am the master of the people of the three eastern provinces." Zhang Yuting bowed and saluted.

Wu Chenxuan waved his hand, "To tell you the truth, I don't know if this is to save the suffering or help the abuse, maybe these are left to future generations to comment." If we can save a few lives, we may be able to make up for it, but I just want a little peace of mind. There was no explicit decree of the imperial court to send troops this time, but it was funded by the elites of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, and the new army of Wuyi sent troops to fight in turns. ”

Several leaders of the octagonal platform looked at each other, but they didn't expect that such a large formation would actually send troops privately, and this bold man was boundless. However, Zhang Yuting thought about it, if Russia won, it can't be said that the soldiers were hired by the Japanese to participate in the war after fleeing, and the Russians would not have much way to get mad. If Japan is lucky to win, the Wuyi New Army, which participated in the war with the Japanese army, will naturally not be blamed, and the imperial court cannot afford to offend the little nose. So what seems to be a bold move is actually a controllable risk, but the top and bottom of the Qing Kingdom are frightened by the word foreigner, no one dares to think so, and the ruthless and cunning with their own people on weekdays have become submissive, and there is no prestige on weekdays. This Lord Wu can be described as a real man who dares to play tricks with foreigners.

Next, a few old natures are good wine and meat opened a table in the tunzi, and Wu Chenxuan accepted it wholeheartedly, and under the deliberate flattery of several leaders, the atmosphere was naturally warm, and the guests and hosts were happy.
