In the room, Li Weiguo, Fu Shanxiang, Shen Ziyan and Su Sanniang sat around the table, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After Shen Ziyan observed the words, her eyes suddenly blinked, and she suddenly screamed: "Oops, it hurts!" ”

This cry of pain broke the silence between the four of them, and Fu Shanxiang suddenly got up and said, "Xianggong, Sister Su must have something important to do when she comes to you, I will take Sister Ziyan to rub some medicine and wine first." ”

"It's good!" Li Weiguo nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Shen Ziyan's buttocks hard, and said at the same time: "Dare to climb the corner of the wall in the future, and see how the husband cleans you up!" ”

"Ahh Shen Ziyan exclaimed, suddenly extremely shy, glared at Li Weiguo fiercely, and said unconvinced: "I want you to take care of it, people haven't married me yet!" ”

"Dare to talk back?" Li Weiguo suddenly glared, frightened Shen Ziyan like a frightened little white rabbit, pulled Fu Shanxiang and ran out.

Li Weiguo and Su Sanniang were suddenly left in the room, and the atmosphere became ambiguous for a while.

Unable to stand Li Weiguo's aggressive gaze, Su Sanniang suddenly said coquettishly: "If you are like this, I will leave!" ”

"What's wrong with me?" Li Weiguo asked knowingly, and said with a cheeky smile.

Su Sanniang's red lips opened slightly, and she wanted to speak, but her face suddenly turned crimson, obviously feeling ashamed and difficult to speak. She stood up suddenly, stomped her foot, and turned to leave.

Li Weiguo hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, don't go, business matters, business matters!" ”

Su Sanniang was helpless, with such a cheeky younger brother, she could only accept her fate, thinking that the business was important, she sat down again.

"I just received information from Lan Guiren, Su Shun and others proposed to let He Guiqing, the governor of Zhejiang, serve as the governor of Liangjiang, although Yixin objected, but Xianfeng had already moved, Lord Li quickly got his idea!"

Su Sanniang said solemnly, and changed the title of Li Weiguo to Master Li. Shows that she is angry.

Li Weiguo was naturally serious when he talked about business, and said: "It was not easy for me to get Yiliang and Gilhanga away, and then there will be another He Guiqing, there are so many people under the hands of this old thing!" ”

Su Sanniang was a little relieved to see Li Weiguo's serious attitude, and naturally wanted to help him with advice, so she said: "He Guiqing is now the governor of Zhejiang, and he has been in office for less than a year. According to the normal promotion, after two years, the governor will also be transferred to the post of governor. I have two strategies here, do you want to hear them? ”

Li Weiguo suddenly said: "Please also ask the eldest sister to come and listen!" ”

Su Sanniang paused. said: "Ce Yi, when the imperial court clearly decrees the appointment of He Guiqing as the governor of Liangjiang, you can send someone to kill He Guiqing in Zhejiang Province, even if the people of the imperial court suspect you, there is no evidence." ”

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said: "If you kill He Guiqing, it will take a few months for the imperial court to send another person, but you can treat the symptoms but not the root cause." ”

Su Sanniang nodded, and said, "Ce Er." Get ready, let He Guiqing come to Shanghai to serve as the governor of Liangjiang, secretly set him up, and you will exercise the power of the governor of Liangjiang. ”

Li Weiguo's eyes suddenly lit up. grabbed Su Sanniang's jade hand and said happily: "I didn't expect the eldest sister to have such resourcefulness!" ”

Su Sanniang was ashamed, hurriedly withdrew her jade hand, and at the same time said coquettishly: "It's not honest again." Do you want to beg for a fight! ”

"Sister, don't be angry, aren't I happy!" Li Weiguo suddenly pretended to be afraid, and his mouth was full of quibbles.

Su Sanniang is also used to Li Weiguo eating her tofu. Su Sanniang is also helpless about Li Weiguo's "repeated teachings", she is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, she can't really beat Li Weiguo, she can't get rid of that hateful hand.

Besides, for Li Weiguo, even beating him may not work!

There's no way, who made our Li Weiguo's skin thicker than the city wall!

Su Sanniang glanced at Li Weiguo and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said, "According to the eldest sister's meaning, how about secretly setting up He Guiqing?" ”

"You decide!" Su Sanniang got up suddenly, threw down this sentence and left without looking back.

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly, this eldest sister's temper is not small, the key is that Su Sanniang's force value is too high, and Li Weiguo is not fully sure that he will forcibly push her down, so he can only follow the curve and push down the policy.

However, it seems that this curve-downing policy is not working well for the time being.

There are three big beauties in the family, at present, Li Weiguo has only pushed down Fu Shanxiang, although Shen Ziyan can be pushed down at any time, but unfortunately Li Weiguo can't do that, he is not an abusive person, he has to take care of Shen Ziyan's own feelings, he must let Shen Ziyan's father nod, otherwise even if she marries Shen Ziyan, she will be sad because her father refuses to attend her wedding.

"Old Man Shen is really, what a stubborn old man, it seems that he has to spend some effort on him!"

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo immediately called Mingyue in and instructed her to send someone to pass Wu Yong over.

Soon, Wu Yong rushed over, and after paying homage to Li Weiguo, the guests and hosts sat down.

Li Weiguo first told Wu Yong about the information brought by Su Sanniang and listened to his opinion.

This is the respect for Wu Yong, and it is also Li Weiguo's way of doing things, listen to the advice of others, and there will be a good plan.

Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "It is more appropriate for the lord to adopt the strategy of overthrowing He Guiqing, which can not only prevent the imperial court from being suspicious of the lord, but also not delay the actual control of Jiangnan Province. But—"

"But what?" Li Weiguo saw that Wu Yong still had something to say, so he asked, "Just say it!" ”

Wu Yong continued: "He Guiqing is by no means an easy person, it is not easy to set him up, if you are not careful, the court will know the mind of the adult, but it will be burdened by it!" ”

Li Weiguo nodded and said: "That's right, if Xianfeng knows about the fact that the dignified Governor of Liangjiang was set up by me, then there is no need to ask, Xianfeng will definitely start a war with me!" ”

Wu Yong said: "If you want to overthrow He Guiqing, you must first uproot the descendants around He Guiqing, because once He Guiqing takes over as the governor of Liangjiang, he will inevitably come with a group of henchmen." This is something that adults must cut off! ”

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said: "He Guiqing is now the governor of Zhejiang, and the people he brought to Zhejiang before must be confidants, so I will let the China S.H.I.E.L.D. send people to Hangzhou secretly and cut them off one by one!" ”

"That's not enough!" Wu Yong continued: "He Guiqing is also an old fox, if he sees that his henchmen have been killed, he will not think that it was the adults who did it secretly, after all, the adults destroyed Yiliang and Gilhang'a last time, which has already alerted the Sushun Group, they will not think that the adults will do the same thing to He Guiqing this time!" He Guiqing will definitely be wary of adults. If I were him, I would never come to Shanghai, and it would be enough to directly point fingers at the adults in Hangzhou as the governor of Liangjiang, so why bother to come to Shanghai to take risks? ”

"You have a point!" Li Weiguo suddenly frowned and asked, "Then what do you think about it?" ”

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Aren't you planning a large-scale military operation right now?" That's the best cover! ”

Li Weiguo said: "You shouldn't be talking about the plan to annex Zhejiang Province, right?" ”

"Yes!" Wu Yong touched his beard, and the old god said with a smile: "The Taiping army has captured Hengzhou Mansion in Zhejiang, and as the minister of Jiangdong and Jiangnan Battalions, you have enough reasons to send troops to Zhejiang Province. As long as the adults annex Zhejiang Province with lightning speed, the state of temporary military management will be realized. Go to Hangzhou to directly control He Guiqing, within three years, the lord secretly pretended to be He Guiqing's big seal on behalf of He Guiqing to run the power of the governor of Liangjiang, three years later, if the court is replaced, the lord arranges an accident for He Guiqing, just kill him. ”

Li Weiguo nodded, after Wu Yong's detailed planning, the entire plan to overhead He Guiqing looked seamless. It's just that Li Weiguo didn't forget to laugh and said: "I don't see it, Mr.'s methods have become more and more ruthless recently!" ”

Wu Yong was stunned at first, and then he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly shook Li Weiguo to the end. At the same time, he said worriedly: "Your Excellency forgives your sins, and so does your humble position—"

Li Weiguo hurriedly helped Wu Yong up and comforted him: "I know it's for my good first!" I don't blame you! It's just a joke, don't take it to heart first! ”

Wu Yong got up. Peeked at Li Weiguo and thought to himself if he really didn't mind at all? It's not his style at all! This clearly has the meaning of beating and warning!

Now I have such a thought, and I am sure that I am the future hero!

Wu Yong was both nervous and happy. What is nervous is that you have to be careful in front of Li Weiguo in the future, this is the legendary companion like a tiger, but he doesn't dare to show the slightest suspicion of devouring the master. And he was even happier because he felt that Li Weiguo was a hero, and now he showed the scheming and IQ necessary to achieve hegemony, and he had more hope in the future.

The two ministers had their own thoughts, and combined the plan to empty He Guiqing and annex Zhejiang Province into one, and quickly launched actions.

At the end of the fourth year of Xianfeng, Li Weiguo ordered the Jiangdong and Jiangnan camps to be on strict alert, and the sentinels went out 150 miles to closely monitor the movements of the Taiping army in the direction of Tianjing.

At the same time, Li Weiguo ordered Su Sanniang to lead 15,000 infantry of the Shanghai Army from Songjiang Mansion and enter Zhejiang Province through Jiaxing Mansion. Li Weiguo personally led the main force of the East China Sea Fleet from the Wusong River into Taihu Lake and went directly to Hangzhou through the Suzhou-Hangzhou Canal.

Wherever the Shanghai army passed, all counties exercised military control, incorporated the local Qing army and local regiments to train their arms, sealed the treasury money and grain, closed the city gates, imposed a curfew, and prevented any news from coming out.

At this time, He Guiqing, the governor of Zhejiang, who was in Hangzhou Mansion, already knew that Li Weiguo led the army into Zhejiang, although he was suspicious, but there was no reason to stop it, after all, Li Weiguo is now the only minister south of the Yangtze River, responsible for attacking the Taiping army, and the Taiping army invaded Hengzhou Mansion in Zhejiang, He Guiqing was unable to recover the lost territory, so he could only watch Li Weiguo lead the army to come.

Li Weiguo led the main force of the East China Sea Fleet to enter Zhejiang through the Suzhou-Hangzhou Canal, and no one dared to stop it along the way, and in less than three days, it reached the city of Hangzhou.

At the Shuiguan Wharf at the north gate of Hangzhou, He Guiqing led officials from Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou Prefecture to greet him.

When they saw the fleet led by Li Weiguo, the huge hull was densely covered with black cannons, and the majestic momentum suddenly made everyone's hearts frightened and excited.

In the crowd, passer-by A said: "I heard that this is the East China Sea Fleet!"

Passerby B asked, "Isn't this the sailor?" ”

Passerby A said: "What do you know, didn't you see that these are all Western warships?" Therefore, like the Westerners, it is called a fleet and not a sailor! ”

At this time, passerby B interjected: "Isn't this Li Weiguo an official of the Qing Dynasty?" Why buy Western warships? Could it be that Western warships are more powerful than our warships of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Passerby A snorted coldly and said, "You're really stupid!" Don't you see that the size of this Western warship is several times larger than that of our Qing warship, and don't you see that there are dozens more cannons on the Western warship than on our Qing warship? Such a Western warship and a Qing warship are fighting, who do you say is powerful? Isn't that obvious? Do you still need to ask? ”

Passerby B was suddenly embarrassed, snorted and stopped talking.

At this time, a first-class battleship docked at the dock, which was the flagship that Li Weiguo was riding.

The gangway was lowered, and a group of Shanghai soldiers came down first. Alert on both sides.

Then Li Weiguo, surrounded by a group of Shanghai army generals, slowly walked down the gangway, came to the dock, and stopped.

He Guiqing saw that Li Weiguo was so far away from him and didn't leave, he suddenly sighed helplessly, although he was also the governor of a province, but unfortunately Li Weiguo had the title of minister on his head, and when he saw that he was a senior official, He Guiqing had to lead the officials of Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou Prefecture to take a few more steps forward and come to greet him.

"He Guiqing, the lowly governor of Zhejiang, led officials from Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou Prefecture to greet Lord Qincha!"

Li Weiguo looked He Guiqing up and down. Seeing that his chubby appearance was not bad, he smiled and said, "Lord He doesn't have to be polite, don't be polite!" All the other adults are exempt from the courtesy! ”

He Guiqing and a group of officials immediately got up, He Guiqing sneered, and said, "This official is not polite to Lord Li, but respects you as the minister of the Qin Mission!" ”

The tone is not good!

Li Weiguo snorted coldly, since He Guiqing is so faceless, there is no need to be polite to him.

"What Lord He said is that since it is a business matter. Then the official has to ask Lord He, what are you eating, what should you be guilty of losing Hengzhou Mansion? ”

"You-" He Guiqing relied on the old and sold the old. I thought that Li Weiguo would be squeezed by those words, so that he could show his strength in front of a cadre of officials, but he didn't expect that Li Weiguo was also sharp-tongued, and he couldn't come to the stage with one sentence.

He Guiqing calmed down. said: "Hengzhou Mansion is lost, the old man is indeed responsible!" However, aren't you, Master Li, responsible? What are you doing in the Jiangnan camp? Let the rebels go south, and you, Lord Li, will not be able to escape the blame! ”

Sure enough, it was an old fox, very calm, and he spoke with him, without leakage.

Li Weiguo said with a smile: "There are many rebels, and our Shanghai army has limited strength, so it is normal that it cannot be defended. Now that this official is not leading the army to come, I hope that Lord He will cooperate more, so as not to delay the suppression of bandits. ”

He Guiqing said: "That's nature! ”

In the eyes of others, the conversation between the two did not take advantage of each other verbally, and it was a tie in the first game.

However, He Guiqing was shocked in his heart, he was an old fox in his sixties, who had invaded officialdom for decades, and he could not say that he was only fifteen or sixteen, and he had not been in officialdom for a few years, which in itself was his He Guiqing's failure, which he regarded as a shame.

No wonder Lord Su Shun wrote to him that he should beware of this Li Weiguo, it seems that this Li Weiguo is indeed very powerful, no wonder Lu Jianying and Yiliang folded in his hands one after another.

He Guiqing was wary in his heart, and originally planned to leave for Shanghai after receiving the holy decree from the imperial court, but now he suddenly dispelled that idea, let's stay in Hangzhou for the time being, it is not safe to go to Shanghai.

It's just that He Guiqing would never have thought that Li Weiguo and Wu Yong would not dare to go to Shanghai even if they were old foxes like him, so they would take the initiative to come to Hangzhou.

In the city of Hangzhou, the governor of Zhejiang, Li Weiguo ordered to summon officials at all levels of the governor's yamen and the Hangzhou prefect's yamen to inquire about the situation in Zhejiang.

Before Li Weiguo came, the agents who had already been sent to Zhejiang through the China S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau had a general understanding of the situation in Zhejiang, and at this moment they were just going through the motions, so as not to make people suspicious.

"Now the situation is grim, the rebels have gained a firm foothold in Hengzhou Mansion, and they are about to launch an offensive against other state capitals in Zhejiang Province, with the current momentum of the rebels, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist with the strength in the hands of your lords alone!"

He Guiqing rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, this is still your nonsense!

However, Li Weiguo is the minister of the Qincha after all, and He Guiqing does not dare to confront Li Weiguo in public, he doesn't want to catch Li Weiguo, so he is very careful, and he doesn't speak if he can.

He Guiqing is not from Zhejiang, and he has been serving as governor in Zhejiang for less than a year, and he will be promoted and leave after two years. Therefore, he didn't care whether Zhejiang was attacked by the Taiping Army, but the officials in Zhejiang were different, most of them were local natives, and their families and businesses had been in Zhejiang for generations, how could they sit back and watch the Taiping Army's attack, they knew that they couldn't defeat the Taiping Army, so they were all counting on Li Weiguo at the moment.

"Master Li, you can save us! Once we lose the city, we will all lose our heads! ”

"Yes, Lord Li, once the rebels come, we will certainly bear the responsibility of losing the land, but it is the people of Zhejiang who are even more bitter!"

Li Weiguo sneered, knowing in his heart that these officials were not for the common people but for their own interests, and he wished that these guys who were looting the people's fat and ointment were all clicked by the Taiping Army, but now these officials are still useful, and they are still counting on using their power to annex the entire Zhejiang and completely empty He Guiqing.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo suddenly said: "Rest assured, my lords, I, Li Weiguo, will never let the people of Zhejiang suffer, and I will definitely help you to defend the city!" ”

When the officials heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and their good impression of Li Weiguo doubled in their hearts.

He Guiqing frowned, he didn't know what medicine Li Weiguo bought in the gourd, just because Li Weiguo's words couldn't see any problems on the surface, so He Guiqing couldn't interject.

I only listened to Li Weiguo: "For the sake of today's plan, only by integrating all the human, material and financial resources in Zhejiang Province can we resist the attack of the rebels!" Therefore, this official suggests that you quickly gather the human, material and financial resources in your hands and hand them over to this official to integrate. ”

He Guiqing finally understood, feeling that Li Weiguo wanted to control the military, political and financial power of the entire Zhejiang Province! (To be continued......)
