"Ahh

When a loud sneezing sound sounded in the hall, Zhu Yifeng didn't know that at this time, someone was thinking about himself, more precisely, someone was calculating himself, but at this time, he was calculating others, and it was not anyone else who was calculating, it was the "angel" from "Tianjing". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this "angel" did not have wings!

However, this "angel" can make Wuchang plug in its wings!

The key is how and how the two parties hook up.

More importantly, whether Yang Xiuqing would know that today's Han Governor Zhu Yifeng was Zhu Mingzong of the day, but he didn't mind that the other party would know, because he was ready to vote!

"What is the plan of this Zhu Dadudu?"

Holding a teacup, by the moment of drinking tea, Sun Yimao looked at this big signing hall, he is no stranger to this big signing hall, and it can even be said that he is revisiting the old place - at the beginning, this place was the "Heavenly King's Mansion", if it were not stained with "Heavenly King Gas", I am afraid that it would be burned down when withdrawing from Wuchang, in fact, the few remaining buildings in Wuchang City were all spared because of the "King Gas".

In fact, Sun Yimao didn't know what the Tianwang Mansion was like at this time, as a former staff member of the Governor of Huguang, he had a chance to enter this big signing hall, so he naturally remembered the furnishings here.

Now the furnishings inside have all changed, the screen in the middle of the lobby has been removed, and the plaque hanging on the screen of "Gong Gong Shou Mu" has also been replaced with "Kuang Fu Zhonghua", in addition, there is only one public case in the public hall, a few tables and chairs. In addition, there doesn't seem to be much change, and there is no trace of what seems to be "magnificent", but in fact it is "poor and extravagant", and some are just simple formations.

Speaking of which, this is probably the difference between the Righteous Army and the Taiping Army, after Tianjing was accustomed to seeing the "poverty and luxury" there, when he first came to Wuchang, after seeing the simplicity here, it was like a breeze washing Sun Yimao's heart.

Not to mention anything else, just by virtue of this big sign that has not changed much, but in an instant, Sun Yimao was full of good feelings for this "metropolitan governor", and other people defected to the Taiping Army just to seek a background, and entered the Huguang Curtain under the recommendation of a friend, although Sun Yimao, who was only a scribe in the curtain, entered the East King Curtain not so much as the initiative, but rather forced.

Once, when he left Wuchang, when he witnessed the spectacular scenery of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians and tens of thousands of boats and boats down the river, he also thought that the world would become a dingding, but after arriving in Tianjing, after witnessing the "extreme desire for luxury" of the king of heaven and others, his heart was uncertain.

Sometimes, people are really weird. Just like at this time, Sun Yimao's feeling for the Zhu Metropolitan Governor in front of him, although he was extremely young, but it was only the first time he met, and he won Sun Yimao's favor.

"Dadu Governor, when he was in Tianjing, the villain heard the name of Dadu Governor, Dadu Governor can start in Huangzhou with 2,000 remnants, seize Wuchang, master Huguang, Dadu Governor is really out of his reach, very ordinary people can ......"

If he was a lobbyist of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, of course Sun Yimao would say that "most of the capital governors are in the kingdom of heaven", but when the words came to his mouth, they all turned into praise of Zhu Yifeng.

"Alas, Lord Tianguan praised it falsely, at that time, it was just a trend of the Kingdom of Heaven sweeping along the river, if it is about the use of troops, I am afraid it is still the king of the east......"

is praise on the lips, but in the bottom of his heart, Zhu Yifeng has a little contempt, after all, this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's "rogue" style of playing regardless of the front and back is completely different from him, and history has proved the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the current praise is not so much praise as a contrary to his heart.

"Alas, the Metropolitan Governor is polite, and he dares to speak out in front of the Metropolitan Governor, if the Metropolitan Governor is not visible, you might as well call it in the following table!"

"Since Brother Cheng Yu didn't take the younger brother as an outsider, how can the younger brother not obey?"

Whether it is sincere or false, under the mutual compliments of both sides, the relationship between the two sides has also become much closer, but from beginning to end, Sun Yimao did not say anything about making him prime minister, and Zhu Yifeng did not take out the "name certificate", of course, even if it is to take it, it is not so easy to take.

“…… This time, under the order of the king of the east, I came to Wuchang to see the governor of the capital, as for these two, I want to come to the governor of the capital has also known, my heavenly kingdom is set in Tianjing, in order to shield Tianjing, I need to go west to conquer the left, I don't know what the governor thinks about this! ”

Sun Yimao looked at Zhu Yifeng, and after a long time of politeness, he finally said his intention, although he only said half of it.

"Heaven wants to go west? That's a good thing! ”

Zhu Yifeng replied bluntly.

"Brother Chengyu, if the Western Expedition of Heaven can gain function this time, wouldn't it be a great thing that my Huguang can be integrated with the Kingdom of Heaven and communicate with each other?"

Is that really a good thing?

If it was according to the previous mentality, maybe Sun Yimao really believed that this was a good thing, but after arriving in Wuchang for the first time, after witnessing the changes in Wuchang, especially after seeing this Zhu Dadudu, he didn't believe that this was the other party's heartfelt words.

With a secret smile in his heart, Sun Yimao stared at Zhu Yifeng and asked rhetorically.

"In the opinion of the Grand Governor, how can Huguang be integrated with the Kingdom of Heaven? Complementarity? ”

The Kingdom of Heaven has already been established, as for you, Huguang is just a so-called "Metropolitan Governor's Mansion", if you talk about it, you were still from the Kingdom of Heaven at the beginning, how should this so-called Lianzong be connected?

"This ......"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Yifeng smiled slightly.

"Through the waterway, to trade, my Huguang since ancient times are the land of fish and rice, rich in grain and grain, if the kingdom of heaven to the west, the river road can be passed, then not only the rice of Huguang can be sold to heaven, the guns made by my Wuchang can also be sold in heaven!"

Business!

This will Zhu Yifeng talked about business, in fact, this is no way, originally thought that he had more than two million taels of silver in his hand, and it was natural to spend money lavishly, but who would have thought that this silver was not enough to spend, and now there are less than 1.3 million taels left in the treasury, of which 800,000 taels are reserved for the purchase of factories at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, in other words, he has no money now!

Who has the money?

I'm afraid that even the Manchu Qing Dynasty didn't have any money in the hands of the Taiping army who robbed all the way, and in terms of silver, now the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has at least 20 million taels of silver in their hands!

In any case, we have to get a sum of money from them!

"Humph......"

Looking at the big governor in front of him who was talking about business, Sun Yimao snorted and asked rhetorically.

"Then if the King of Heaven decrees that the Metropolitan Governor shall prepare 500,000 stones of grain for the needs of the Heavenly Kingdom, I wonder what the Metropolitan Governor should do?"

Looking at Sun Yimao with a calm expression, Zhu Yifeng was curious about this person's intentions, aren't you the "special envoy" of the Kingdom of Heaven? Didn't you come to persuade Lao Tzu to take refuge in heaven? Why did you dismantle the stage now?

"That's simple, 500,000 stones, you can give silver at the market price, I won't hide it from you, although Zhu is a metropolitan governor, he is also a businessman, speaking of which, when he was in Hankou with the king of the east, he also had a relationship!"

Zhu Yifeng didn't hide his identity, but said it directly, there are some things that he can't hide if he wants to, not to mention, he didn't want to hide it at all.

"Oh?"

looked at Zhu Yifeng in surprise, he had a relationship with Dongwang?

"It's just a businessman, a businessman hated the most, no foreign government is forced to force people, to grab goods, if it's an ordinary businessman, it's just that, but Zhu has a little bit of anti-bone in his heart, if others move Zhu's things, although they are strong, but Zhu will never be willing to obey, think about this, Dongwang Jiu,000 years old also has a deep understanding of this!"

What the!

Finally, Sun Yimao knew the identity of the governor in front of him, could it be that he was the foreign merchant who shelled the Hankou dock and destroyed millions of foreign guns, no, that, wasn't that a foreign businessman? How?

"What the Metropolitan Governor is referring to, but Hankou?"

When Zhu Yifeng nodded, Sun Yimao's mind suddenly became confused, how could this be?

What now?

"Zhu is so admitted, he is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, if he dares to touch my goods, he has to ask my guns first!"

This rather imposing words were heard in Sun Yimao's ears, but it made him secretly smile bitterly in his heart, now, how can this be good, the temper of the king of Yidong, if he knew that this Zhu Dadu was the merchant who bombarded Hankou at the beginning, how could the king of the east tolerate him?

"Do you know that there are millions of soldiers under my Heavenly Kingdom?"

This temptation, in exchange for Zhu Yifeng's sneer, million? How much water is there in this million?

"I wonder if Brother Chengyu noticed some stains on the city wall when he entered the city?"

After this rhetorical question, Zhu Yifeng seemed to be proud.

"On the same day, our righteous army with 400 cavalry lightly down the 10,000 people to defend Wuchang, beheaded the Jiang family Chu Yong not only 4,000, the four brothers of Jiang Zhongyuan were all beheaded by our army, the previous distance was far away, there were many inconveniences, failed to present the heads of the three Jiang brothers to the East King, now since Brother Cheng Yu is here, the head of the three Jiang brothers, please also ask Brother Cheng Yu to present the East King on behalf of the East King......"

The heads of the three brothers of the Jiang family are Zhu Yifeng's "vote for fame", and it is also his bargaining chip to alleviate the conflict with the East King, after all, that Feng Yunshan died at the hands of Chu Yong of the Jiang family, and now this head is the only bargaining chip for him to show favor to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The reason why he emphasized his "old friendship" with Dongwang before was not so much to take the initiative to reveal his identity, but to remind Yang Xiuqing, and even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, what kind of person he was, he was not afraid of the "Kingdom of Heaven" when he only had a boatload of dozens of people, and how could he be afraid of his Kingdom of Heaven today.

"The Metropolitan Governor is like a god with soldiers, and he admires it!"

Clenching his hands into fists, Sun Yimao suddenly burst out laughing, he looked at Zhu Yifeng and smiled.

"To tell the truth, I have traveled to the curtain of the official mansion in Xia, and also entered the Eastern Palace, although I don't say that I am well-informed, but I have seen such a person as the Metropolitan Governor, but it is the first time I have seen it, if I persuade the Metropolitan Governor to submit to the Kingdom of Heaven, I don't know what the Metropolitan Governor will do?"
