Chapter 51: Follow the pole to the shelf
The whole room suddenly cooled down, and everyone in the room couldn't help but grin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A battalion of heavenly soldiers?
This kid is really full of magnifying cannons, and he really dares to say this kind of nonsense!
At present, in the Jinwei area, except for the coastal defense artillery battalion and the city defense battalion, almost all the mobile forces have been transferred to North Korea, in order to form a confrontation with the Oriental soldiers in Pyongyang.
It is the Jinmen, the central gateway of this important Gongwei capital.
Lord Zhongtang just asked Wu Yuren, the chief soldier of Tongyong Town, to integrate the rest of the training army of various departments in Jinmen, the remaining soldiers of the Renzi Army, and the remnants of the more than 200 Renzi Army who came back from the Gaosheng to defend themselves.
You hairy boy just want to take away the precious troops of a battalion head of Jinwei, how is this possible!
"Anzhi, get up, sit and talk."
Li Hongzhang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at He Changying, who bowed his head and bowed down, for a long time before he spoke.
Now that the area around Jinmen, and even most of the Bohai Bay, is on guard against emptiness, and let He Changying take another battalion head to Pyongyang, Li Hongzhang does not have any consideration at all.
What's more, in a few days, in the city of Pyongyang, the imperial court will gather nearly 30,000 people of the Beiyang Northeast Army Heavy Army.
Even if he gave He Changying a battalion head and let him take these five or six hundred people to Pyongyang, it would only be a drop in the bucket, and it would not help in major matters.
However, if the Jinmen guards lack these five or six hundred troops, the defense is not an ordinary emptiness.
He Changying heard Li Hongzhang ask him to get up, and knew that if he couldn't get up on the ground anymore, he would be messing around, which couldn't help but make everyone look down on him, so he got up respectfully and sat back in the chair.
Seeing He Changying get up slowly, and then return to his seat without saying a word of nonsense, everyone couldn't help but look at him again in their hearts.
When it's time to pull down the face, when you don't have a face, you don't hesitate to put your face in the groove and go on a rampage; When what should be said and what should be done is finished, I will stop saying a word of nonsense, and wait for the old man in the hall to make a decision.
Talent!
"I read your volume today, and your performance in the Renzi deputy camp is quite decent; You were originally a battalion commander and wanted to replace it with a five-grade Xiong Zhen, and it is said that with your performance these days, it is appropriate-"
"An Zhi Xie Zhongtang raised it."
As soon as He Changying heard Li Hongzhang's old man's 'according to what he said', he knew that he was very likely to follow up with a 'but' or 'but', as long as he let him say the words, his five-grade Xiong Zhen's complement would be considered to be flying.
And what's more serious is that He Changying doesn't have the top of these five products, and of course he doesn't have the right to lead a battalion of soldiers, so it means that all his previous efforts will be finished!
So at the critical moment, He Changying once again gave full play to the advantage of his face like a city wall.
He didn't even have time to run to the center of the hall to thank him, and as soon as his butt left the chair, he directly used the nearest one that only officials could use, kneeling on half knees and bowing to the ground.
It is to make Li Hongzhang's sentence true.
"Ahem, ahem—"
Ding Ruchang thought that he understood what Lao Zhongtang was going to say, so he proudly served tea and water to hide the laughter on his face, but he didn't expect that He Changying, a little scoundrel, actually engaged in this play, and he was so shocked that he suddenly poured hot water in his throat, and his choking and hot cough tears flowed straight down.
The ability of this small shun pole to put on the shelves has a lot to do with Zhang Peilun's poor measures!
Li Jingfang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and he was angry in his heart, and he also knew that this kid had won the bet this time, and his own Lao Tzu really ate this set.
Zhang Peilun was also stunned, thinking to himself when did this kid steal the unique skills of the Li family to learn from him?
"Okay, you monkey who goes down the pole!"
Li Hongzhang pointed at He Changying and couldn't cry and laughed: "Okay, this old man will give it to you; Twenty-four-year-old from Wupin, in recent years, it is considered a few, you kid don't want the old man to be disappointed, don't go out and lose the reputation of the old man. ”
Hearing Li Hongzhang say this, He Changying was suddenly overjoyed.
Li Hongzhang's words not only promised him the top of the five-grade military attaché, but more importantly, announced that he He Changying officially belonged to a member of the Beiyang Group from now on, and anyone in the future who wanted to use his crooked brains like Wu Yuren before him could not ignore the existence of Beiyang, Li Hongzhang, this behemoth.
"An Zhi will definitely do his best to serve the court with his heart and brain."
He Changying stood up with a smile and glanced at Ding Ruchang, who was wiping his tears with a handkerchief in embarrassment, but in fact, he was still very grateful to the help of this negative supporting role.
"Congratulations on another year of young handsomeness."
The civil official of the fifth grade congratulated Li Hongzhang.
"A hairy boy from the Feixi Township Party, who only knows that his mouth is full of magnifying cannons, how can he be so praised?"
Li Hongzhang said to He Changying: "This is the consul general of the imperial court in Penang, Nanyang and Singapore, Mr. Zhang Bishi; You kid can't go over and kowtow. ”
"Hehe, Lord Zhongtang, I can't stand Anzhi's head;"
Zhang Bishi smiled and said: "Ding Junmen said that An Zhi's first head was knocked to the adult, if this last one is finished, don't say anything else, I can't explain it to his father-in-law." ”
"Haha-"
As soon as Zhang Bishi's witty words came out, the whole room burst into laughter, and only He Changying had a stiff wry smile on his face.
No wonder this old thing can sit in the first seat on the left of Li Hongzhang, it turned out to be the Nanyang tycoon of this era, with a net worth of seventy or eighty million taels of silver, and Zhang Bishi, who is rich enough to rival the country.
You must know that in the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the financial revenue of the entire Qing Dynasty was about 80 million taels a year.
This old guy is doing the best business in the world, but now he doesn't seem to be a good person, is it interesting to be so funny to me as a young man?
Tender for your daughter!
It's not authentic!
Since this old thing has said everything about this, He Changying had no choice but to smile on his face and honestly give Zhang Bishi a big gift.
Zhang Bishi hurriedly stood up, helped He Changying up with a smile, and said in a loud voice: "The virtuous nephew is very polite, I don't dare to be such a great gift." ”
The two politely sat down again, and the people in the room turned their eyes to Li Hongzhang who was sitting in the first place.
Now that the top is given, the next step is the seat.
Li Hongzhang picked up a hookah, Li Jingfang hurriedly left his seat to wait for the tobacco leaves, lit the velvet, took two sips and considered for a while, then looked at He Changying and said:
"Anzhi, there is a shortage of soldiers and horses everywhere now; Jinmen, all parts of the capital are searching for and arresting the spies of the Orientals, but also to prevent them from sabotage, the old man can't take out the soldiers of that battalion; However, if you intend to return to the training army and the Renzi Battalion, the old man can negotiate with you, otherwise my governor's palace is short of manpower, so it is better to settle down for the time being, and then consider it in the long run. ”
When he said these words, even Li Hongzhang himself didn't believe that He Changying was still willing to return to Wu Yuren, who almost cut off his head.
Entering the Governor's Mansion with the top of the five grades, it is simply a leap of fish for He Changying, and everyone, including Li Hongzhang, will believe that this He Anyi will be surprised and happy to kneel down again.
Enter the Governor's Yamen?
He Changying was stunned for a moment, and her eyebrows were silent.
"What's the matter, An Zhi is not satisfied, and he thinks the old man's governor Yamen's temple is small?"
Seeing He Changying, he did not immediately kneel down and thank him with joy, but frowned, Li Hongzhang took a puff of hookah, looked at He Changying kindly, and said with a smile.
In an instant, the lobby, which had been happy just now, suddenly became as cold as ice.
