Last night's experience, for Zaiyuan, who is in an embarrassing situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to forget it for the rest of his life.

Zeng Guofan and Saishana came to his lodging before dinner and strongly invited him and all the members of his delegation to attend a reception hosted by Kong Zhaoci, vice mayor of Jinan. At that time, Zaiyuan really didn't want to go, he was different from Du Han's people, everyone had no heart and lungs, and they didn't delay eating and drinking. But what about him? The great responsibility is on his body, but he is in a daze every day, he is on fire all the time, the fire is big, where is there any desire to taste delicious food? However, in the end, he repeatedly excused himself, but he had to go because of the hospitality.

As soon as he entered the temporary dining room of the Jinan City Government, which had been converted from the "official yamen", Zaiyuan found that tonight's banquet was different from the usual banquet, because except for the big "Shou" character and Kong Zhaoci in the middle of the dining room, almost all the members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom negotiation delegation headed by Hong Renji had been present for a long time. In doubt, after listening to Hong Renji's words, he was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Zaiwon, today is your mother's birthday, and at the behest of Director Lin, we are here to hold a banquet for you to commemorate it. Director Lin said that although the old man has passed away a long time ago, we must not forget that it was my mother who raised us descendants. ”

Yes, today is my mother's birthday, if they don't remember, how can I forget it? Jaewon's heart is hot, and his face is feverish. Strange, how could they know so much?

"Please take a seat, Mr. Zaiyuan," Zeng Guofan picked up Zaiyuan and came to his seat, "Hehe, our Director Lin said that today should be the time for the family to sit together, so our Vice Mayor Kong didn't invite more people to come." After all, everyone is standing on the same piece of land, and everyone is an opponent at the negotiation table, and they quarrel and even refuse to give in to each other. But since they have come down, they should all be friends, and maybe one day everyone will end up in the same place, and harmony is precious. ”

With a good start, the atmosphere of the banquet is really good. Although Du Han will always find a fork in the road from time to time and say some strange things that are not yin or yang, but it is really like Zeng Guofan said at the beginning, no one will talk to him about his real theories, and he will not even answer his words.

When the monk Grinqin and Saishan'a, who was next to him, talked about the grand military parade of the Taiping Red Army at the beginning of the year that he had recently heard from the French Observer Group, and said that a group of Red Army officers and men who were under review with loaded guns and live ammunition actually fired their guns and went to the review stand amid the shouts of "for the sake of the Celestial Empire, march", which shocked the sightseers of the various powers, and their words could not help but reveal envy. Just when Du Han interjected again in a weird way, disdainful of what "for the sake of the Heavenly Empire", Zeng Guofan finally couldn't help but smile and asked him, "What if you do it?" ”

Du Han glanced at Zeng Guofan, "Just those few words, what can be reflected?" After holding back for a while, he hummed, "One day when we organize a military parade, we will form a large phalanx of 10,000 people, and use 10,000 rough men to shout 'all brothers in the four seas' at the same time, that is our broad mind." ”

Du Han's words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha......" Zeng Guofan snorted a sip of wine with a smile.

"What, can't you?" Duhan was a little annoyed.

"Okay, okay, of course." Zeng Guofan laughed again and looked at Kong Zhaoci.

Kong Zhaoci smiled and shook his head, Okay, you Du Han, fortunately, the ancestor of our family has become a tablet, if the ancestor is sitting here, I can't be angry when I hear your words. "All brothers in the four seas" can be shouted casually on any occasion?

Looking at Du Han's stupid appearance, Zaiyuan couldn't cry or laugh at that time. My scholar Du, you should be a little less broad, a big Qing Dynasty has been so miserable now, and you are still fucking Bo, Bo you are big!

"I said Du Dashangshu, you are also the host of the Ministry of War." Monk Lingqin pursed his lips mockingly, "If you can really use such a sentence to calm the world, then you can shout." But I should tell you that if you want to be feared by others, you must first harden yourself, and not rely on begging. 10,000 people shouted your trumpet, and I couldn't hear anything about it, but it was like a group of stinky people begging for food. Of course, the Russians were called by people like you, and the result? They don't want to be your brothers, I think they want to be the fathers of your children. ”

"Ignorance, savagery!" Du Han stood up suddenly, the wine glass in his hand slammed heavily on the table, and his face turned red.

"Forget it, forget it, it's all a joke, why take it seriously." Zeng Guofan hurriedly got up to play the round, "Don't ruin today's good day." The monk is angry with the Russians, but he shouldn't hurt Mr. Du. Besides, the Russians were recruited by the loser woman Cixi, and it was not Brother Du. Drinking, drinking......"

Du Han sat down again, and because Zeng Guofan helped him say a fair word, he finally gave Zeng Guofan a rare good look.

As the banquet progressed halfway, the atmosphere of "family" became stronger.

I don't know if it's through the strength of wine, or if it's intentionally showing friendship, Hong Renji told him a big secret with a kind reminder. That is, Tsarist Russia, in a place called Crimea, which is not far away, has been beaten all over the ground by the coalition forces of Britain, France and other countries for several years, and has suffered heavy losses, and has to accept the humiliating contract imposed on them by its opponents.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Renji talked about the turbulent situation in Tsarist Russia today, and talked about the extremely backward serfdom system similar to that of Manchu domestic slaves that still exists in Tsarist Russia today. Hong Renji even said contemptuously, don't look at the Tsarist Russia with muskets and cannons in their hands, but they are not giants at all, just a stumbling sick man, a paper tiger, they can no longer afford a huge war.

At this time, Saishan'a, who was sitting next to Monk Greenqin, picked up his wine glass and persuaded Monk Greenqin to have a glass of wine, as if he was talking to Monk Greenqin alone, but in fact he was listening to everyone.

"Brother, you can see it very accurately, the arrival of Tsarist Russia actually didn't help us at all, but it was a big raid. Thinking about it, it's only been two years, although on the surface they have helped us build a few foreign workshops, but how much did they take from us? How much do we owe them? With the current family background of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be able to meet in a few lifetimes. They have caused a lot of resentment among the people. The Weihai Weijun Port Fortress has been tossed for two years, spending so much silver, displacing millions of people, and turning more than 100,000 or 200,000 people into bones. Haven't you been wiped out in a matter of days? Tens of thousands of troops of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire rushed to Weihaiwei for a long time, and the Tsarist Russians could not get the slightest news in advance, is this not a true portrayal of the people's aspirations? ”

Alas, I really don't know what it tastes like when I drink this wine banquet.

At the time of separation, it seemed to be a deliberate arrangement, Zeng Guofan quietly pulled him aside and told him that the Russians were trying to negotiate the terms of peace with the Celestial Empire in private, and that the Russians were instigating the Manchus to be as tough as possible at the negotiating table, while on the other hand, they were abandoning the Manchus to reap their own best interests. Zeng Guofan persuaded him with great emotion to do what he wanted, and never do the kind of stupid thing that was sold by others and still helped others count the money.

Think about it, this has served as the commander of the Han army under the blue flag, the commander of the Han army with the red flag, the commander of the Han army with the white flag, the Mongolian capital with the blue flag, the minister of Manchuria with the red flag, the minister of the military parade, the minister of the fifteenth good shooting, the minister of the guard with the yellow flag, the minister of the guard under the yellow flag, and the minister of the guard under the yellow flag, and also served as the chief patriarch of the blue flag, the right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, and the Zongren Mansion Zongling, and the management of the blue flag Jueluo Xue, the Taimiao Waist Sacrifice and the marriage of the near branch, Luan Yuwei, the Tiger Gun Battalion, the Royal Gun Battalion, the Shanpu Camp and the Chongwen Gate, etc. And when Emperor Daoguang died, he was the minister of Gu Ming, and he was deeply favored by two generations of emperors, how can he be regarded as a well-informed Zaiyuan, in the face of today's so-called allies, can he not be anxious?

After the seizure of Yitong, Seriyaki himself didn't expect that the Russian, who was usually absolutely arrogant, didn't feel the slightest annoyance, but finally gave him a rare smile. At this moment, Jae-won completely believed what Hong Renji, Zeng Guofan and others said, these Russian allies were indeed not real giants.

Jae-won sat for a long time, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. His damn Russian dares to make trouble behind his back, why can't this king go and meet with Director Lin, who can really play the role of the principal? Rather than a stalemate like this, there is no end, so why not find another way? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pat his head hard, I'm such a stupid bird, I've been in Jinan for so long, why haven't I thought of this step?
