Li Weiguo was so happy in his heart, he finally ran into a talent, how could he let it go easily?

He immediately turned over and dismounted, came to Rong Hong with a smile, and saluted back: "I have admired Mr. Rong's name for a long time, and I feel honored to see him today!" ”

Rong Hong looked a little flattered, he had long been accustomed to the high-minded faces of Qing officials who looked down on the common people at the bottom, but now he saw Li Weiguo get off the horse and salute him in return, this is a situation that has never been seen before, just ask which official will give a straw man who has no merit in return, nodding and snorting can be regarded as giving you face.

"Don't dare to be!" Rong Hong hurriedly said, hurriedly saluted again, and bent lower.

"You're welcome, sir!" Li Weiguo said and immediately returned the salute.

Rong Hong saw that Li Weiguo gave him another salute, so he hurriedly gave another big salute.

The two saluted each other, and the officers and soldiers of the Li family next to them were confused, how could they have seen Li Weiguo so polite to others, and they couldn't help but look at Rong Hong, guessing where this young man in a dress was sacred, and he was worthy of such a courteous corporal Li Weiguo.

Seeing that Rong Hong was about to salute again, Li Weiguo hurriedly supported him and said with a wry smile: "If Mr. continues to salute like this, the two of us will be seen as a joke by these people around us!" ”

"Let the adults laugh!" Rong Hong saw that Li Weiguo had a soft and approachable attitude, and he also calmed down from his nervousness.

There is a way to be polite, many people are not surprised, Li Weiguo and Rong Hong humbly returned the salute to each other, which made the two look at each other and smile, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious.

Li Weiguo asked, "I wonder where Mr. Rong is going?" Now the war is in chaos, but be more careful! ”

"Thank you for your concern!" Rong Hong thanked him politely and replied: "Caomin has just returned from Yale University in the United States, and he is about to see if there is a suitable job in China. ”

It turned out to be a graduate of Yale University!

Li Weiguo was a little excited in his heart, looking at China in the fifties of the nineteenth century, if a person has a university degree, it is equivalent to the level of a postdoctoral supervisor in the twenty-first century, which is a super academic qualification. Such talents must not be let go.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo became more interested in Rong Hong, and hurriedly said, "Then I wonder if Mr. has found a suitable job?" ”

Rong Hong shook his head and said helplessly: "The Western knowledge and technology learned by the grass people, but they are regarded as rebels by the government in China, so let's not talk about it, I'd better go back to Hong Kong." ”

Seeing that Rong Hongkong had knowledge and skills but had no way to serve the country, Li Weiguo also felt indignant and regretful in his heart. So he said: "Hong Kong has become a British colony, since Mr. wants to serve the country, how can he return to Hong Kong?" ”

Rong Hong smiled bitterly: "There is no way to serve the country, what can Hong Kong do here?" The Chinese people regard themselves as the Central Empire and look down on Western technology at all, and I am just humiliating myself if I stay. ”

Li Weiguo said with a smile: "Sir's words are wrong! Since ancient times, Maxima has often existed but Bole has not been common, if Jiang Ziya hadn't met King Wu of Zhou, I'm afraid he would only be able to fish for the rest of his life. Mr. Rong is now a thousand-mile horse, and he is a sweat-and-blood horse among thousand-mile horses. As long as you can meet Bole, is Mr. still afraid that his ambitions will not be able to be displayed? ”

Rong Hong was surprised, he couldn't imagine that Li Weiguo could say such words full of life philosophy at a young age, no wonder the other party was able to sit in the position of a senior official of the fourth grade at a young age.

Come to think of it. Rong Hong suddenly became curious about Li Weiguo, and asked, "Where does the adult think the Bole below?" ”

"What do you say?" Li Weiguo also asked rhetorically, pointed at himself by the way, and smiled immodestly: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" ”

Rong Hong looked at Li Weiguo with some astonishment. said with a smile: "If the lord is in the Bole, then dare to ask, the lord thinks that the current Qing Kingdom wants to catch up with the European and American powers." What is the most urgent thing to do? ”

Sample, dare to test me?

Li Weiguo smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that Rong Hong was the founder of modern education in China, and he had been advocating learning from the West and using it in the East all his life. In a few years, when the Qing government was defeated again by the British and French forces, and realized the strength of the foreigners, it would also establish the Tongwenguan and begin to learn advanced Western science and technology.

"It's education!"

Li Weiguo said: "One year tree valley, ten years of trees, one hundred years of people, education-oriented, the road to a strong country!" ”

Rong Hong suddenly said excitedly: "I can't imagine that there are still people in my Great Qing Kingdom who can realize the importance of education, there are adults, the community is very lucky, the people are very lucky, and the grass people can go home to farm with peace of mind!" ”

Li Weiguo smiled secretly in his heart, if the other party knew that he had no loyalty to the Qing Dynasty at all, and thought about how to get to the Qing Dynasty all day long, and how to seek the dynasty to usurp the throne, I am afraid that this Rong Hong would not be so excited.

"If Mr. Rong goes home to farm, won't the official be alone? The official wants to establish a university in Shanghai and hire a large number of overseas gentlemen to return to China to teach, but there is a shortage of a person of insight like Mr. Yung to grasp the overall situation, and he also asks Mr. Rong not to shirk and serve the country and the people to take up the post of president. ”

Rong Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, since he returned to China a month ago, he has learned advanced Western knowledge and skills, and wants to serve the country, but along the way, from the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, down to the local governors, large and small officials have seen a lot of them, but no one can afford to look down on him, let alone listen to his advice to learn advanced Western education.

Now that Li Weiguo wants to build a university education in Shanghai, the importance he attaches to education shows that he is both prescient and pragmatic, which is exactly the person Bole that Rong Hong wants to look for.

Thinking of this, Rong Hong suddenly bowed down and said: "Thanks to Lord Li for not giving up, Rong Hong is willing to do the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Li Weiguo laughed, hurriedly stepped forward to help Rong Hong, and said: "With Mr. Rong's help, the education of our people is promising, and the great rejuvenation of China can be expected!" ”

successfully brought Rong Hong into the account, Li Weiguo's heart was happy, and he finally asked for the embarrassing situation that no one was available under the account.

Li Weiguo really wanted to talk to Rong Hong in detail, but he remembered Shen Ziyan in his heart, and this trip was to go to Yingzhou Mansion to rob relatives, so naturally it was impossible to take Rong Hong with him.

Of course, Li Weiguo was embarrassed to tell Rong Hong that he was going to rob his relatives, so he had to say that he was pursuing the Taiping army of the Northern Expedition and sent someone to escort Rong Hong to Shanghai.

Rong Hong did not doubt him, said goodbye to Li Weiguo at the moment, and left by boat.

Then. The detective who went out to inquire about intelligence also returned, and Zhang Xiaoliu hurriedly came to report the situation to Li Weiguo.

"Young master, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Chuzhou and Fengyang to enter Yingzhou Mansion!"

"What's going on?" Li Weiguo asked in surprise.

It turned out that the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Army landed in Yangzhou from Pukou, fought a fierce battle with the Jiangbei camp of the Qing army, failed to break the Jiangbei camp, and then turned to Anhui, captured Dingyuan, and prepared to enter the Central Plains of Henan through Fengyang and Maozhou, but unfortunately blocked Li Weiguo's road to Buyang, the capital of Yingzhou.

"Who commanded the Taiping Army?"

"I heard that it was led by Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Hong Xuanjiao, Su Sanniang and others, with an army of about 30,000 people. All of them are the elite of the Taiping Army. ”

Li Weiguo originally wanted to borrow from the Taiping Army, but when he heard that Hong Xuanjiao was included, he immediately dispelled his thoughts, after all, he detained Hong Xuanjiao at the beginning, but he offended this woman fiercely, and the other party would never give way easily.

It's just that when he heard that Su Sanniang was also in the Northern Expeditionary Army, Li Weiguo suddenly frowned.

He knew that the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition was just a death squad, the purpose of which was to attract the Qing court's ideas and contain the main force of the Qing army. It's just to reduce the pressure on Tianjing. The Northern Expeditionary Army was a lone army, doomed to defeat.

There have always been two debates about Hong Xuanjiao's death in history, one is that Hong Xuanjiao died in the First Battle of Tianjin of the Northern Expeditionary Army. It is said that he died in the first battle of Tianjing City, but there is no specific evidence, making Hong Xuanjiao's death a historical mystery.

Similarly, there are multiple versions of Su Sanniang's final ending. is basically the same as Hong Xuanjiao's version.

Now that Li Weiguo learned that these two women were in the Northern Expeditionary Army, he understood everything. Hong Xuanjiao and Su Sanniang both became political victims of Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, one of whom was the true original founder of the God Worship Sect. One is the core member of the Heaven and Earth Society, the hall master of the Flame Hall, the power of the Heaven and Earth Society is huge, and it is the backbone of the Taiping Army, whether it is Hong Xiuquan or Yang Xiuqing, they want to take it for their own use, but unfortunately Hong Xuanjiao and Su Sanniang are women they can't get, so they can only destroy them.

Li Weiguo sneered, politics is really the dirtiest place, he doesn't care about Hong Xuanjiao's life or death, but he can't care about Su Sanniang's life or death, no matter what, he and Su Sanniang are brothers who have worshipped the handle. Although he knew that Su Sanniang was a woman, Li Weiguo treated her as a woman, the two were still brothers and buddies, and Li Weiguo couldn't see death without help.

The defeat of the Northern Expeditionary Army is still early, so let's not rush to save Su Sanniang, the top priority at the moment is to rush to Buyang as soon as possible and rescue Shen Ziyan.

"Hong Xuanjiao may not be willing to let us pass, for the sake of safety, let's bypass Fengyang! Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and we still have seven days to go, and we will be delayed for three days at most, so there is still time to do it! ”

After Li Weiguo thought it through, he immediately made a decision.

Just as he was about to set off, suddenly a personal soldier came to report urgently.

"Report to the Lord that there is a person in the back team who claims to have been sent by the eldest lady of the Shen family, saying that there are 100,000 urgent things to see the Lord!"

"Call him over!"

Li Weiguo was just about to get on the horse, but he hurriedly turned over again, and there was a vague feeling of nervousness in his heart.

"The villain Erkui, a slave beside Miss Shen, has seen Lord Li, and greets Lord Li!"

"Excuse me! Something to talk about! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Erkui got up and hurriedly said: "The villain was ordered by Miss Shen to come to inform Lord Li, Master Shen had already found out that Miss Xiaohe was not there, and guessed that she was looking for Lord Li, so the lord advanced the wedding date from the eighth to the third day of the junior high school, and Miss ordered the villain to come and inform Lord Li in the starry night!" ”

"Shen Wansan, you deceive people too much!" Li Weiguo was suddenly furious, and with nowhere to vent, he threw the horse whip in his hand in the direction of Yingzhou.

Erkui continued: "Please Master Li go quickly, I'm afraid Miss Late's life will not be guaranteed!" ”

Li Weiguo turned around and shouted, "What do you mean?" ”

Erkui said loudly: "My young lady said, she was born as Li Weiguo's person, and died as Li Weiguo's ghost, if the adult can't arrive in time, please collect her body!" ”

When Li Weiguo heard this, his anger and blood immediately surged, there was such a woman who was loyal to him, what more could the husband ask for, and immediately shouted: "Pass my order, the army will go straight to Fengyang without stopping, and within three days, we must rush to Buyang!" ”

Zhang Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment, but still interjected: "Young master, aren't you worried that Hong Xuanjiao will stop us from letting us pass?" ”

"Fuck, it's all this time, whoever the fuck dares to stop Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill whoever he wants!" Li Weiguo had already exploded in the small universe, ignoring the usual image of a civilized person, and burst into foul language, which made the surrounding officers and soldiers of the Li family in a daze for a while.

I saw Li Weiguo turn over and get on the horse, shout violently, and run out like a snowy wind under his crotch.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoliu also hurriedly got on the horse, and shouted at the same time: "What the hell are you in a daze, let me get on the horse." You must rush to Buyang within three days, the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, and the gods block and kills the gods! ”

"Yes!"

"The Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha! God blocks and kills God! ”

A thousand soldiers of the Li family army shouted in unison, got on their horses one after another, and followed Li Weiguo.

Erkui watched Li Weiguo go away with a thousand soldiers and horses, and his heart was warm, and he said to himself: "Miss's vision is really good, this Li Weiguo is indeed a bloody man, worthy of Miss's life!" ”

Thinking of this, Er Kui's heart seemed to have put down a big stone, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and immediately chased after him. (To be continued......)
