"King Qi is a thousand years old, and his subordinates have a niece who is twenty-eight years old and has not yet married. Although it is not the appearance of the country and the city, it has a graceful body and a good face. The ministers are willing to dedicate themselves to the king of Qi, make beds and fold quilts with the king of Qi, and serve on the side of the king of Qi. But I don't know what King Qi wants? Levi's uncle, Li Yuchang, asked respectfully. Seeing that Wei Ze was silent, Li Yuchang said again: "This girl is peculiar, and her body has a strange fragrance, and there seems to be nothing." The most peculiar thing is that there was a wandering Taoist in his childhood, who asserted that this woman was noble, although there was no hope of the main room, but the mother and son were expensive, and the wealth was infinite. If the prince Chitose can love her, it will not be in vain for her creation in this life"

"Huh?" Weeser was stunned. He thought that Li Yuchang was here to ask Wei Ze for help, but he didn't expect that he was here to offer his niece. Turning his head to look at Levi's, the staff officer of the Logistics Department of the General Staff Department who came with Li Yuchang, Wei Ze was really speechless.

As one of the main members of the General Staff Department responsible for foreign liaison and sales, Levi's should be said to have made a significant contribution. He used his family's merchant connections to make a lot of contributions to Wei Ze's resale of tea and raw silk and the purchase of sulfur. I didn't expect Levi to work so hard when his uncle offered his daughter, or niece. Uncle Levi's niece is Levi's cousin.

Of course, Wei Ze knew Levi, and Levi's uncle Li Yuchang did this to show his loyalty. For Wei Ze, sacrificing the girls in the family for his own selfish interests is completely contrary to Wei Ze's basic morality.

Teng stood up, and Wei Ze said to Levi, "You come with me to the back for a while." ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Ze ignored Li Yuchang and walked straight to the tent behind. Levi immediately got up and followed Weser to the tent at the back.

"What's going on?" Weser asked Levi with a straight face.

"Show loyalty!" Li Weistan replied bluntly, "The Taiping army has been in southern Anhui for so long, and only under you, the king of Qi, can it be regarded as making some money. Other times, a lot of taxes are collected. At present, the chief of the general staff led the troops to break the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and your reputation shook the whole of Anhui. The Hui merchant naturally wants to get in touch with you. But I'm just your subordinate, and this relationship is not strong enough. As businessmen, where is it so easy for them to see you...... If you were to be proposed, you would not agree. So they can only show their loyalty by guò! ”

As Levi spoke, there was a rather cold but determined gaze flashing in the small eyes of his slender face, which gave Wei Ze a feeling of looking at a cool official.

Wei Ze frowned, "Staff Officer Li, what you said is the same as if you didn't know anything about it?" Do you think I'll believe that? ”

As if he didn't hear the meaning of Wei Ze's reproach, Levi said in a voice that was not particularly emotional: "Chief of the General Staff, I didn't know about it originally. And how can I stop them from doing so willingly? I think the Chief of the General Staff will decide whether he wants it or not. When they hit the nail, they will know what you think. ”

Wei Ze tilted his head slightly and asked, "Why do I think you are singing red face and white face?" ”

Levi seemed to have been struck by Weeser's words, at least he didn't speak for the time being, but was organizing the meaning of the language. In the process, Wei Ze didn't speak, he stared at the guy who had almost been driven out of the army by Wei Ze because he took the initiative to contact Hui Shang in private. However, a very nonsense thought suddenly popped into Wei Ze's mind. With Levi's seemingly cold and cruel appearance, would his cousin really be good-looking?

Levi's seemed to have prepared the language, and he said slowly: "Chief of the General Staff, you said something when you asked me to contact Huishang last year. In the negotiation of the price of raw silk tea, we must first figure out their purchase price, and then make a more balanced profit calculation according to the price we sell to foreigners. Doing business naturally counts as profit, but when buying and selling between others and businessmen, they only look at how much they can make, and they want to make the most money. Only you are the one who really buys and sells with the merchant's ideas. Do you remember? ”

"There's such a thing." Weese replied. At that time, he hoped to be able to use the business channels of Huizhou merchants for a long time, so he naturally chose the method of being able to complete long-term cooperation under the circumstances at that time.

After Levi got Weeser's approval, he continued, "Chief of the General Staff, I don't want to be a businessman. Because businessmen have no status, people in the government and local governments can bully businessmen as long as they have some power. I couldn't pass the merit test, so I defected to the Taiping Army. I have not only learned a lot of skills from you, but I also admire your approach to not bullying merchants. That's why I really want to go to you. I want to follow you, Chief of the General Staff. As for my family's people giving it to you, it's naturally for their business. Although they are all expressions of loyalty, they are not the same thing. ”

"That is, you want to know that you are my man?" Wei Ze asked slowly.

After listening to Weese's question, Levi immediately stood his body in an upright posture, and he replied, "Yes!" ”

Weser nodded, "I know now!" Then go out with me and meet your uncle!" ”

Seeing Wei Ze come out, Li Yuchang, who was waiting outside, hurriedly stood up.

Wei Ze sat down on the chair and said, "When I choose a woman, I have to read a book first." I haven't read a book, and I don't want it if it's unreasonable. ”

Li Yuchang saw that Wei Ze already showed signs of agreeing, and he hurriedly replied: "Return to the Qi King Chitose!" My cousin lives in Hangzhou, and she is my cousin's daughter. My cousin is a local lifter, unfortunately passed away two years ago, my niece is alone, we know that after bringing back to Anhui. My cousin taught her to read and write since she was a child, and she is by no means an illiterate countryman! ”

"I will never wrap my little feet!" Weeser continued.

When Li Yuchang heard this, his face was already happy, "Back to King Qi Chitose, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has an order that it is never allowed to bind your feet." Your Majesty has known for a long time. My cousin loved my niece very much, and when she was young, she cried all day long, begging my cousin not to bind her feet anymore. My cousin felt sorry for my niece and said that even if she couldn't get married, she would stay at home and raise her. So my niece is a heavenly foot. King Chitose of Qi, since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has a decree, we dare not send a woman with small feet to King Chitose of Qi no matter what! ”

"Hmm......" Wei Ze didn't expect the other party to be so well prepared, which made Wei Ze a little interested, "I choose people who care a lot about looks, if I don't like it, I definitely don't want it." So you bring her and I'll see. If I can, I'll keep her, if I don't like her. Then I can only thank Mr. Li for his kindness, and you can bring people back. ”

"Obey the will of King Chitose of Qi!" Li Yuchang hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Weeser asked.

"Your Majesty, go back and bring people now!" Li Yuchang bowed his head deeply and replied.

When Li Yuchang was taken away from the big tent, Wei Ze turned his head to look at Levi, he was very suspicious that Levi had told Li Yuchang about the little foot. But this year only appeared in Weese's mind for a while, and then dissipated. It's hard to be confused! Levi really wanted to show that he was loyal to Weser, and this kind of question had no other meaning than to show Wesser's stinginess.

"Qi Yuchang, Li Yuchang, it seems that I have a lot of fate with a person named Yuchang!" Wei Ze sneered in his heart. At this moment, Weeser suddenly developed a great disgust for his moral level.

The troops completed their subordinates, and the work of collecting the money fell into the hands of Chen Delong, the nephew of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, so the next work was a rather dull wait. Weeser made full use of this time to start systematic military training and recuperation. His troops have not had a good rest since July. If he hadn't been suddenly transferred to Liangshan, Wei Ze would have captured Suzhou and begun to take a comprehensive rest of the troops.

Now to prepare for war, the troops can only train for half a day and rest for half a day. This is not very beneficial for the combat effectiveness of the troops. The troops were very close to Wuhu, but they could not go to Wuhu to rest. Most of Wei Ze's troops were soldiers from Anhui and Anhui, and they were separated by the Yangtze River, but they couldn't go home. Seeing that the Spring Festival will come in more than two months, the homesickness of the soldiers is getting heavier and heavier. This made the morale of the troops begin to fluctuate.

Wei Ze's half-rectification only lasted for half a month, and the good news came.

Qin Rigang, who was demoted to a servant, was not defeated by the Hunan army after the defeat in the Battle of Tianjiazhen, and he led his troops to withdraw to Jiujiang to continue the defense. Zeng Guofan's Hunan army had already suffered heavy losses, and also paid a lot of losses in the battle of Tianjiazhen, and only continued to march to Jiujiang in early November.

At this time, the reinforcements led by Shi Dakai had arrived in Jiujiang, and a part of the troops converged with Qin Rigang's Jiujiang defenders, and Shi Dakai and Luo Xuan were personally stationed at Hukou. After the Hunan army stormed Jiujiang and failed to succeed in three large-scale attacks, Zeng Guofan personally commanded the superior naval army to attack Hukou, trying to seize it and completely cut off the Taiping army in Jiujiang from the outside world.

Shi Dakai and Luo Xuan seized the opportunity, and they blocked the channel between Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River with a sunken ship, leaving only one pass. Seeing the weak Hunan army of the Taiping army, their light warships sailed into the side of Poyang Lake through the Guò Pass, preparing to attack from two routes. Shi Dakai and Luo Xuan seized the opportunity and first completely blocked the pass on the waterway. Then Shi Dakai sent dozens of small rows to rush into the camp of the Hunan Army's naval division and burned more than 4o Hunan military ships.

The Hunan army had to retreat, and Luo Xuan immediately led the fleet to Jiujiang, taking advantage of the night from Jiujiang and Xiaochikou to attack the Hunan army sailors anchored in the river with more than 100 light boats, burning a large number of ships, and the ships of the Zeng State domain were also captured. The Hunan army was defeated, and Shi Dakai led Luo Xuan to begin to pursue the Hunan army.

This was not only the defeat of the Hunan army, but also the possibility that the Qing army would take advantage of the naval superiority to attack Tianjing City from the upper reaches of the city. Wei Ze felt that his work of guarding Dongxi Liangshan was coming to an end, and Yang Xiuqing couldn't let such a large army stay in the field all the time, even if he couldn't immediately re-crusade eastward, at least Wei Ze could bring his troops back to the city to rest.

Wei Ze was right, on the third day after the victory at Hukou, Wei Ze received an order to go to Wuhu to station. But the order for the crusade that Weeser had hoped for the most did not appear.

When Wei Ze led his troops into Wuhu, first Li Yuchang, then Qi Yuchang, and the two of them sent the two women to Wei Ze's army in Wuhu one after the other. And Wei Ze also knew for the first time that Li Yuchang's niece and Levi's cousin, originally named Li Yifang, was a beautiful beauty with Suzhou and Hangzhou characteristics.
