The sky is not bright, the seven city gates of Nanchang will be opened in turn, since the Jiangxi bandit army Li Liejun fled to Dongying, Li Houye is in charge of Jiangxi after opening the city gate so early is the first time, but Jiangxi people are used to Li Houye's laziness is not Chang Zhenbang can change overnight, but it is not bad, there are not many people on the bluestone road in Nanchang, which is convenient for those who come to report to the local military and political dignitaries.

After three poles in the morning, the living room of the Overseer's Mansion was already full of local military and political officials in the central and northern parts of Jiangxi, including Wu Jinbiao, the guard of northern Jiangxi, Li Tingyu, the guard of southern Gannan, Yue Zhaolin, the guard of Gandong, Zhang Youhua, the acting guard of Jiujiang Town, Wang Xifeng, the mixed brigade of Fuzhou, and Liu Shifa, the commander of Nanchang City Defense. The text includes Qi Yang, the chief of civil affairs, Yin Dong Xicheng of Luling Dao, Yin Zhou Andeng of Yuzhang Dao, the director of the Jiangxi Garrison, the Nanchang Garrison Corps, and the international friend of the British Empire. In everyone's minds, it is just that Chang Zhenbang has put down the rebellion in Nanchang one step ahead in the military to have the position of today's protector envoy, speaking of a division of the Jiujiang Army is not huge, Yue Zhaolin, Wu Jinbiao and others do not care, but Li Tingyu's Gannan army makes these people look sideways, after all, Li Tingyu is a descendant of Beiyang, and the emperor can talk to people, as long as his soldiers enter Nanchang City, the above must like him to govern Jiangxi, even if others have objections, it is useless, it is not like Chang Zhenbang who invites everyone to come over and talk like he is now. In their opinion, Chang Zhenbang's occupation of Nanchang City is not a bad thing, at least with his qualifications, everyone restricts each other, and the benefits are evenly distributed.

Chang Zhenbang, accompanied by the adjutant Zhang Xiaoliu, came to the living room, and before they sat down, they made a circle to everyone, and said: "Brothers can come to Nanchang and sit in this living room and talk to me, this is to give me a big face, and I Chang Zhenbang has thanked you brothers in advance." After saying that, it was another salute.

"Chang Zhenbang, since the brothers of the Sixth Division went to Yungui in Xiangxi with Commander Ma, now the army in northern Jiangxi is in the process of being newly built, and it is not easy for outsiders to interfere more."

"The 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Mixed Brigade of Gandong are constantly in disarray, and the integration process is not smooth. If it provokes a mutiny, I am afraid that the adults will be able to escape the blame, and I hope that the protectors will make the adults think twice. ”

"The Protector is in charge of the military affairs of a province, is this political matter handed over to the localities to deal with by themselves?"

……

Looking at the following military officials stirring up, Chang Zhenbang didn't feel a headache. Seeing this, Basiri hurriedly stood up and said: "Lord Chang, the envoy of the army, all of you here are the pillars of all parts of Jiujiang, and they are people who cannot leave for a while, let's open the skylight and say something, as for these vain things, there is time to say afterwards!" ”

He is an official of the British Empire, and his identity is naturally transcendent, although as soon as many people see him here, they know that he is here to help Chang Zhenbang suppress the formation, even if there are thousands of dissatisfaction in their hearts, they have to give the British Empire a face.

Everyone agreed, and Chang Zhenbang immediately said: "That brother is better than obeying his fate if he is respectful." After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Xiaoliu, Zhang Xiaoliu turned around and took out a delicate golden silk fish scale box, and after opening the box, he respectfully took out a telegram and handed it to Qi Yang, the chief of civil affairs.

Chang Zhenbang said: "Yesterday, I received a telegram from the emperor that Qi Yang, the chief of civil affairs of Jiangxi, was officially canonized as the Jiangxi Patrol Envoy, and congratulations on Qi being promoted to the Patrol Envoy. ”

Qi Yang took Zhang Xiaoliu's telegram and said triumphantly: "The emperor's grace is vast, Qi Yang thanks the lord Longen, Qi Yang is loyal to the new dynasty and works hard for state affairs, may my emperor live long live long live!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Congratulations to Lord Xiqi, during the period of Marquis Li's recuperation, the political situation in Jiangxi will be Lord Lao Qi." ”

Qi Yang laughed and looked at the extremely Dao Yin who was sitting and said: "This is Qi Yang's business, it can't be said to be hard, it's all for the emperor and the world." ”

Luling Dao Yin Dong Xicheng and Yuzhang Dao Yin Zhou Andeng muttered a few words in a low voice, although they did not have any promotions in any positions, but without the constraints of Li Houye, they could finally carry out their respective government affairs according to their own wishes through normal procedures. This is not a good thing either.

Chang Zhenbang said: "This official invited all colleagues and virtuous people to come here for a while, just to solve the differences in the military and political situation in Jiangxi. ”

Qi Yang said: "The arrangement of the military envoy can be called fair and reasonable, and we and other civilian officials have no objection, if my lord has no other arrangements, this official would like to have a short meeting with your civilian colleagues to discuss the future development of Jiangxi's political situation." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "There is nothing else to do here, please feel free to Lord Qi Yang." ”

Qi Yang, Zhou Andeng and the others were just about to get up and leave, Basili's face sank unconsciously, a little gloomy, and he wanted to say something, but he saw Chang Zhenbang come over with a meaningful look, thinking that there were other ways in this, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart a little and sit aside.

As soon as Wu Jinbiao saw that Chang Zhenbang had given up Jiangxi's political rights, he put the label of weakness on his head, and without waiting for the civil officials to finish, he stood up and rushed to say: "My lord's arrangement in political affairs is very good, I don't know how you arranged the military in Jiangxi, in other words, our old Wu still admires Brother Chang, but admiration is admiration, if anyone dares to touch the meat on Lao Tzu's plate, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and ruthlessly ignoring the feelings of his colleagues!" ”

Yue Zhaolin hurriedly pressed Wu Jinbiao and said: "Brother Wu has something to say, Brother Zhenbang is a person who understands, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing his parents, he won't not understand, it's not right for you to rush into the army like this!" ”

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "There is a difference between the top and bottom, the military envoy is in charge of the military affairs of a province, and the two are just the town guards, whether the two adults are acting here or not, whether they are showing their true feelings, I hope the two adults understand this truth." ”

Wu Jinbiao said angrily: "What are you, but you are just a newly promoted mixed brigade, and you dare to make a ...... with Lao Tzu."

"What about being muddy?" Wang Xifeng said proudly: "You have a mixed brigade in your hand, and Lao Tzu also has a mixed brigade in your hand, who is afraid of whom?" If you have the ability, let's pull up the team and make a few strokes! ”

"Enough!" Chang Zhenbang slapped the table and said angrily: "Beiyang wants to unite!" This is a sentence that the emperor often puts on his lips, look at the way you are now, before Sun Monkey and Cai Yi's chaotic party comes over, we will be in chaos ourselves! ”

Wu Jinbiao glanced at him and muttered in a low voice: "That's our Beiyang, what kind of fucking Beiyang are you!" ”

"Old Wu, how do you talk to the Guardian Envoy!" Yue Zhaolin said.

Chang Zhenbang said: "Heroes don't ask about their background, although I am not Beiyang, we are brothers who followed Li Houye south to quell the rebellion during the Kwai Chou years, since we are brothers, what can't we say well?" It is true that the younger brother has now become the military envoy of Jiangxi, and in the eyes of outsiders, the younger brother is higher than the elder brothers in terms of official positions, but in the eyes of the younger brother, the elder brother is still the elder brother, the brother is still the brother, and the two elder brothers or the younger brother should be respected, as for how to deal with the relationship between the two elder brothers and the younger brother, the younger brother pondered and meditated, and finally thought of a way, but I don't know if the two elder brothers agree! ”

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, how can you know if you don't say Lao Tzu?" Wu Jinbiao said.

Yue Zhaolin glared at him and said, "What did Lao Wu say?" Although the Protector is our little brother, his vision is above mine, so needless to say, it's a good idea. After persuading Wu Jinbiao, Yue Zhaolin smiled and said to Chang Zhenbang: "The methods that adults can think of must be excellent, listen to them!" ”

Wang Xifeng stared at Yue Zhaolin and Wu Jinbiao viciously, he didn't say anything, and he didn't need to say anything, but Li Tingyu was sitting on the side drinking tea and tea, just like no one else, and other people also took him as a shadow, as if he didn't appear here at all.

Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "Listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement!" ”

Yue Zhaolin was overjoyed when he heard this, but Wu Jinbiao was a little confused, and hurriedly lowered his head and asked, "What do you mean by listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement!" Yue Zhaolin said: "Do you know Erlang God?" Wu Jinbiao said: "Of course I know." The nephew of the Jade Emperor. More powerful than Sun Monkey! Yue Zhaolin said: "The Jade Emperor forced his sister to death, Erlang God hated his Jade Emperor uncle to death, and the Jade Emperor also knew that he was at a loss, so he named him "Heroic Zhaohui Xianling Renyou King", and the Taoist name "Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch". But Erlang God has always ignored this uncle, and resolutely does not live in the heavenly court, but receives incense in the lower realm, accompanied by the seven saints of Meishan in front of the tent, and has 1,200 grass-headed gods under his command. This is 'the heart is high, and the family members do not recognize the heavens, and the pride of the sex returns to the gods to live in the river.' 'Do you understand?' Wu Jinbiao nodded with a gloomy face, glared at Chang Zhenbang fiercely, and suddenly rushed over like a tiger from the mountain, Wang Dewang hurriedly blocked Chang Zhenbang's side and broke with him, this Wu Jinbiao yelled: "Fuck, Chang Zhenbang, you rabbit cub, you dare to be Lao Tzu's uncle, Lao Tzu will kill you bastard!" ”

Yue Zhaolin looked at Chang Zhenbang very embarrassed, stepped forward, pulled Wu Jinbiao over, and said: "Old Wu, you are a dirt bun, when will Brother Chang be your uncle, it's really nonsense, what that sentence means, as long as we surrender to Lord Chang and give face to Lord Chang, Lord Chang doesn't care about our business, as long as we are not too presumptuous~!" ”

"Oh, Lao Yue, this is your fault, with this kind of good thing, you should speak in plain language, you have to drag the text, let me misunderstand, right?" After complaining, Wu Jinbiao arched his hand at Chang Zhenbang and said: "My lord, it's really interesting, your brother Lao Wu has confessed!" I was offended just now, brother, don't mind, after I go back, my brother has his own heart! ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said: "Look at what the old brother said, it's a bit too much for our brothers to talk about this again." ”

"My lord's dignity and humility are orderly, there is a difference between the top and the bottom, my lord's brotherhood has given our brothers so many benefits, Lao Wu misunderstood my lord, and I also have the responsibility that my Yue Zhaolin explained wrongly, so let's do it, I am willing to train a division of elite army to guard Gandong for my lord, and at the same time, my Gandong side is willing to fund my lord 50,000 oceans as military funds to quell the rebellion, I don't know what my lord wants?"

Wu Jinbiao's eyes stared at Yue Zhaolin like a goldfish, and he secretly sighed in his heart, this kid is really good at beating snakes with sticks, and he took the establishment of a division from Chang Zhenbang's hand when he went out of 50,000 oceans, and he couldn't drag the other party's hind legs, he stood up tremblingly and said: "Lao Yue is really refreshing, Lao Tzu went out of 70,000 oceans as a reparation for his own unsightly reloading of the adult, and at the same time, he is also willing to defend the land and the people for the adults with a division of troops in the Gandong Training Department!" ”

Chang Zhenbang looked at these two people with a smile, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "The two old brothers are really polite, what else can Zhenbang say?" It's just that we only have four divisions in Jiujiang Province, and now there is a division in Jiujiang, a division in southern Jiangnan, a division in Nanchang, and the sixth division of General Ma Lao is all full. I don't know what the two of you think? ”

Wu Jinbiao said: "Who supports you......" but was covered by Yue Zhaolin, Yue Zhaolin said with a smile: "This is very good, the national system is easy after all, and it is even more difficult, the eyes of the adults are like torches, I admire them, so let's do what the adults want." ”

Each of the four provinces in Jiangxi is twenty cities, and half of the moral city defense regiment is ten regiments, and there is one more regiment of armed forces than a reorganized division, although the weapons and equipment are worse, but most of them are veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield, and they are much stronger than the recruits they recruited, and they have made such a big bargain, what else can these two people say, let's make a fortune in a muffled voice! At the same time, they have already taken advantage of the side of supporting Chang Zhenbang in their hearts, that is, after Marquis Li is healthy, they will continue to support Chang Zhenbang as always, unless someone gives them greater benefits.

Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Since all the brothers have no opinions, then this matter will be done." As he spoke, he pushed Basiri to the front and said, "In order to express the gratitude of the Jiangxi civil and military bureaucrats to the British Empire for their mediation, this official has decided to give priority to Mr. Basiri in Jiangxi's large-scale flour transactions, and I hope that your brothers can consider one or two." ”

Wu Jinbiao and Yue Zhaolin thought about it, they didn't know what kind of medicine Chang Zhenbang sold in this gourd, how could a foreign devil jump out in a good manner, everyone was not talking about it well, where did this foreign devil mediate?

Basili glanced at these people, smiled faintly, and said in a strange Chinese dialect that made people laugh: "Thanks to the love of the Protector Army, let the contemptible people see such a cooperation method with Chinese characteristics, the contemptible people are very honored, as a witness to this cooperation, the contemptible people sincerely wish you all the glory and wealth, step by step, as for the priority of the flour transaction that the adults said, don't over-interpret it, the empire is not bad for money, as long as the flour is good, the empire is willing to buy a large number of people at the market price, and guarantee that one hand will pay the money, and the other hand will be delivered." and never take credit. ”

Yue Zhaolin said softly: "Old Wu, have you seen it, Chang Zhenbang, this kid is afraid that we will regret it, so let this foreign devil be a witness." As for flour and anything, that's fine. ”

Wu Jinbiao whispered: "Witness is witness, Lao Tzu is afraid of a bird!" With such good conditions, a fool would regret it? It's just that you say that this foreign devil is really so refreshing, paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other? ”

Yue Zhaolin said: "Foreign devils attach importance to contracts and do not pay attention to human feelings, which is still trustworthy, isn't it flour?" Who is selling is not selling? It's better to give this foreign devil a face and be a favor. ”

"Thank you for your love, the British Empire will remember your good deeds today, and the Empire will be rewarded in the future."

After seeing that the purpose was achieved, Basili sat back very satisfied, continued to taste tea, the refreshing aroma always made him feel the broad and profound culture of the Chinese, but unfortunately, the Chinese almost never care about their own culture except when boasting to others, in his opinion, the cultural and military people of this country have either fallen into the eyes of money, or fallen into the right, simply infinitely estimate other beautiful things, accidentally met a few extraordinary characters, but also are just merchants and Gongzi brother who poured cultural relics, This is the hard wound of their nation, so their science and technology are staying in the age of discovery, as long as it can be turned into money, it will be passed down immediately, and it will disappear in the vast ruins of history if it cannot be exchanged for money, once other countries start to have a certain technology, in order to brag about it, they will pick words to show, just like the funny Pythagorean theorem, there is a person named Shang Gao who took a ruler and said a hook three strands four strings five, and then he shamelessly took the Pythagorean theorem as his own, but unfortunately it was just a special case. Knowing that more than ten years ago, China's Hua Yufang proved this truth with the help of Western mathematical knowledge and Chinese methods, and in the past 2,000 years, they have only hooked three strands, four strings and five, and only hooked three strands, four strings and five.

However, compared with culture and science, these Orientals' grasp of power has to be said to be the pinnacle, just like what happened in front of him, out of understanding Chang Zhenbang, he does not feel that this person is willing to share his rights with others, let alone harm his own rights to please others, but this unreasonable scene happened vividly in front of his eyes, Chang Zhenbang first gave up the right to deal with Jiangxi government affairs, and then gave up the right to manage the army in the two towns of eastern and western Jiangxi, In this way, what difference does he have except for having an additional Nanchang City under his jurisdiction?

At this moment, Li Tingyu's faint voice came: "You seem to have forgotten that there is still me, the guard of Gannan Town. ”
