"Hehe, how will Madam punish our director in a while? It's too heavy, but it's not good, it will affect the overall situation of the Celestial Empire. ”
Liu Xianghe gently pushed away the husband who was hugging him, covered his fluffy heart, and smiled shyly at the man who greeted him in the big moon field in front of him, "Ouch, I really didn't expect it, the dignified chief of staff of the left also learned to hide and eavesdrop on others." ”
"Huh...... Madame, don't wronged Zuo," Zuo Zongtang hurriedly arched his hand, and looked left and right, "Zuo Mou was waiting for the director in front of the Zun Mansion, and he stood here and didn't move. ”
"Hmph, I won't tell you, they're all good at strong words, let's just talk about you." Liu Xianghe smiled and hurriedly ran away by himself.
"Hehe, Chief of Staff Zuo just came back from Senator Seshana, right?" Lin Haifeng smiled and took Zuo Zongtang's hand and walked together, "Don't be so late all the time, so as not to hurt your body." ”
"How can it be so strict," Zuo Zongtang shook his head with a smile, "I can't sleep in the morning, so I'll go to him and sit there." Brother Heting has always praised us for our tolerance and restraint towards the Hui people in Shaanxi, and it seems that on the one hand, this kind of disposal method of the army is still beneficial. ”
"Yes, although we will suffer some losses in some areas for the time being, as long as the truth of the matter is slowly disseminated, it will be of great benefit to us in our fight for Mongolia, Tibet, and later Xinjiang." Lin Haifeng pulled Zuo Zongtang into the house and sat down.
"Yes," looking at Liu Xianghe, who brought him tea, Zuo Zongtang bowed and smiled, arched his hand to express his gratitude, and then looked at Lin Haifeng and thought for a while, "After the meeting during the day, I thought about it carefully along your train of thought, although the Hui people in other parts of Gansu also moved, but their attitude towards the Han people was not the same as that of the people concentrated in Ningxia after all. Therefore, it is better to leave Ningxia there for the time being, so that these people will not rush into other areas to do evil before we take precautions. First soothing and then suppressing, dividing and disintegrating, so that the last recalcitrant will die without complaint. ”
"Hehe, put aside those who can't be suppressed, at least it's good for the present." Lin Haifeng lit his pipe, "This negotiation with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if nothing else, I estimate that Seng Lingqin will definitely participate, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already made arrangements in this regard, and is doing relevant work." We should also make full use of this opportunity here, strive to communicate more with him, and play the card of Mongolian autonomy well. ”
"Yes, Disheng and Heting both have some dealings with Monk Greenqin, and it is normal to take the opportunity to get in touch. Although Seng Lingqin is a martial artist, he still has scheming, and he has always been grateful to the Manchus. However, he was quite dissatisfied with the current behavior of the Manchu court to allow Tsarist Russia, and this is the gap that we can grasp. In addition, the relationship between this person and Yixin is extraordinary, Yixin is now out of favor, and he will not feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. As long as we follow the details of the negotiations that we have drawn up in advance, hehe, it is estimated that the complete collapse of the Manchus is not far away. ”
Lin Haifeng smiled and took a puff of his pipe, "Ji Wenyuan will come from Shouzhou in the next two days, hehe, his engineering troops are not simple, Fujian Mawei Shipyard, Xiamen Shipyard and the corresponding Keelung Coal Mine in Taiwan, as well as the construction of Zhanjiang Shipyard and military port, especially the railway, they have all made immortal contributions." Today, the successful detection and excavation of tungsten mines in Ganzhou and Shouzhou coal mines will have an immeasurable impact on the future. Before Li Kaifang did not come to the camp to take up his post, you should first coordinate with Ji Wenyuan, their main tasks this time are, first, to increase the force of laying the telegraph line to Shaanxi, and at the same time to carry out a renovation of the roads along the way. Second, it is necessary to station in Laizhou and Zhaoyuan to manage the gold mines in a unified manner. Their task is arduous, and it is necessary to do a good job in their logistical support. ”
"Okay." Zuo Zongtang nodded, closed his eyes slightly and calculated, "According to the time calculation, Tan Shaoguang and the others should probably be close to the target, right?" ”
Lin Haifeng smiled, "It's time to arrive, now it's up to them to see if they can fight this battle beautifully." ”
The high-rise mansion of the first household in Mishan is brightly lit, and in the large courtyard, the four tables of banquets placed are already in disarray, and the second watch of the day is over, and more than 40 Russian soldiers with open collars and unkempt curly hair are still drinking and eating. The alcohol burned everyone's heads, and one, followed by several drunken Russian soldiers, began to stagger to their feet, and danced like madness. Suddenly, the sound of slapping and riding boots on the blue brick floor was accompanied by a burst of beast-like howls that went straight into the night sky.
Different from the noise outside, the main hall of the Gao family seems to be quite quiet, and the only thing that can echo the outside is that a woman's pretentious laughter will sound here from time to time.
On the opposite wall of the main hall, there was a big red character for longevity hanging in the center, and there were only four people sitting around a table of eight immortals in the center of the room.
Sitting in the middle is the birthday star old Gao Laogui, today, is his fifty-fifth birthday, contrary to what should be a festive atmosphere, the old master of the Gao family not only did not have any joy, but also pouted an old face, has not been a little smile, and half an hour has passed, he almost never touched the dishes and chopsticks in front of him.
In the guest seat, Major Bakutsky, who was high-legged, was very comfortable, and his face was flushed. With a large cigar in one hand and a fork in the other, he kept gulping down the food that was brought to him from time to time as if he couldn't get enough of it.
Sitting with her back to the door was the woman who was moving her chair closer to Bakusky, and was diligently replacing the manservant standing behind Bakusky, pouring him wine and food as if no one was around, dressed up as if she were a fancy flower, smiling from time to time, and constantly winning, affectionately called "Maya" by Bakusky. Don't get me wrong, she is not a show girl in the Red Mansion, but the noble daughter-in-law Gao Hu.
Opposite Bacuska, sitting was the young master of the Gao family, who is also the current mayor of Mishan Town, Gao Jie, who was also very happy, in addition to smiling flattering at Bakuska with his wife from time to time, he also couldn't forget to send the specially prepared "fried kidney flowers" one by one to the major who couldn't make and didn't bother to make chopsticks.
Obviously, Bakusky's comfort is because of this woman, and the old master's noble airbag is precisely because of her.
"Dad, today is your happy day, don't you always look like this, Lord Major is our great benefactor, this is not good." Gao Jie picked up a chopstick dish, looked at the old father whose eyes were only slightly open, and his face was getting more and more ugly, and probed the probe and persuaded softly, "Without the major, how can we have our current family business?" If we rely on ourselves alone, we won't be able to drum it up for eight lifetimes. ”
"I didn't want to be a shou, and I didn't want them to come." Gao Laogui snorted, neither moving, nor looking at his son.
Possessions? Is the current family business useful? Gao Laogui closed his eyes. To be honest, in their Gao family, which is not prosperous, he never thought that he would be able to make the first household in Mishan. He lost his mother at the age of five and his father at the age of thirteen. He hadn't read a book for a day, and he couldn't even write his name until now, he worked as a coolie, worked as a man, went to the sea to fish, went up the mountains and drilled the forest, and endured all the hardships he could endure. For him, it was enough to have this qiē.
But he didn't think so about his son. Because he suffered from illiteracy and had enough of being looked down upon by others, he had a greater expectation for his only son, who he only got at the age of thirty. Whether it was poverty at the beginning or a solid situation later, he would never ask his son to stick even a little bit of farm work. Studying, taking the Xiucai exam, lifting people, taking the title of Jinshi, the title of the gold list, and glorifying the court, that is what a son should do. Of course, he didn't forget to work with his wife to arrange a marriage for his son, and married a "lady show" who was literate and hyphenation.
Now that I think about it, what a wonderful time it must have been.
It's a pity that the son is not angry. After taking the test and taking the test, it wasn't until the year before last that his son finally mixed up with a showman, and since then he has no enterprising spirit, because since last year, there have been Russians in Weihaiwei. The son, who had been studying in Wendeng Academy, suddenly fell in love with doing business with the Russians, and no matter how much he dissuaded him, he took his daughter-in-law and stuck in Weihaiwei and never went home.
What kind of business his son is doing, he didn't know at first, he just heard that it was not easy for his son to take the show exam at that time, but it was very happy to learn foreign language, and it was said that he was ruthless in front of foreigners. Of course, there are many more rumors, but he doesn't believe them very much, and he can't believe them. Like his kind wife, he is always thinking about the good. The father-in-law and mother-in-law's family, who did not dislike themselves in the predicament, but helped themselves, and finally made themselves a poor boy to start a family, was destroyed in the hands of those Russians. It is said that the tiger father has no dog, although he is not a tiger, but he has never done anything to lose his conscience, how many generations of the old Gao family have not been poked in the backbone, and the son will follow himself more or less, and how much should he be a little bit of the blood of the Gao family, right?
It wasn't until his son came back to become the mayor of the town and began to "buy" fields in batches in the town that he was stunned, and finally learned what his son had been doing outside for a year. The son really made his fortune by helping those foreign devils to recruit and abduct young women everywhere and engage in the deeds of insulting his ancestors.
His precious son has really become a well-known figure, and all the good fields and mountains and forests in the town have become the property of their Gao family under the personal intervention of the Russians, that is, the Bakusky in front of them. Many of them are the property of relatives and friends who have helped him.
The Gao family is rich, and all relatives and friends are gone. Wealth did not bring him any glory, but in the end he no longer dared to go out of his home. Seeing the baby-like son and the wolf at the beginning, he was cunning and crazy outside, and even the six relatives did not recognize him, but at home he followed the flowers and branches dressed up every day, and he didn't come to the whole night, and he was tamed like a dog behind the daughter-in-law who didn't even bother to say a word of Chinese, and his wife who helped each other all the way from poverty to the old wife, in the depression that was really unbearable, he left a sad sentence "How good it would be if I didn't ask my son to go to school!" Then, with infinite remorse, he left last month. From that day on, his heart also died. He couldn't understand that a pair of good sons and daughters who were originally praised and envied by their relatives and friends at the beginning only took a little more than a year, and at the same time they learned to speak foreign, they became two people he didn't dare to know again. Is that what the saints teach children in their books? He was really confused. He used to be so proud that he always felt that his back, which he would never bend, was bent overnight, and his beard and hair were gray.
