Chapter 10 The Storm is Coming
Li Zhongju saw Liu Jiang's face full of anger and knew that something bad was happening, so he immediately asked, "Liu Jiang, what's the matter, your face is so bad?" ”
Liu Jiang almost cried and said, "Boss, the brothers and goods of our dart bureau have been detained in Fucheng, and I just got the news." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Zhongju said very calmly, "Have you inquired about what is going on?" ”
Liu Jiang sighed, "Boss, according to a brother who escaped back, it was Liu Qing, the son of the prefect Liu Baoshan, who mobilized the officers and soldiers to do it, and he took a fancy to our Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce, and he wanted to use the power of the prefect to turn our Chamber of Commerce into his own property." ”
Li Zhongju actually thought that such a thing would happen a long time ago, after all, the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce had no support in the province and the imperial court, but he didn't think about it so soon.
Li Zhongju stared at Liu Jiang and said, "Since someone is so short-sighted, then don't blame us for being polite, you go down to appease the brothers, and I'll go to lie down in the Li family and see what Elder Li says." ”
Li Zhongju patted Liu Jiang on the shoulder, telling him not to worry, he was just a gentleman, Li Zhongju would not take it to heart, the key was to see if the Zhenyuan Governor was involved. However, under normal circumstances, the prefect must have been involved, but even so, Li Zhongju was not afraid at all.
After Li Yaoshan learned of Li Zhongju's intention, he smiled, "Li Gongzi don't worry, the old man recommends a friend of life and death to you, Wang Jie, the governor of Guizhou, the old man immediately writes a letter, you go to Anshun to find him, he will definitely come forward to help you solve it." ”
Li Yaoshan said that he would do it, immediately sat down at the desk, and wrote a letter in just a few minutes in one go and handed it to Li Zhongju.
Li Zhongju returned to the Zhenwu Dart Bureau with the letter, found Song Naruto, and asked him to take a dozen of them and ride a fast horse to Anshun Mansion by himself.
Li Zhongju and others ran wildly along the way, and came to Anshun Mansion in Guizhou Province in just three days.
Li Zhongju found that Anshun Mansion was obviously much more prosperous than Zhenyuan Mansion, and it was worthy of being a big mansion with a provincial governor. Anshun has always been an important economic and military town in Guizhou Province, and it is second to none in terms of political economy and military culture.
Li Zhongju first found an inn and arranged for his entourage to stay, while he came to the door of the Admiral's Mansion alone, looking at a mighty and majestic lion standing on the left and right of the door.
Li Zhongju looked at the four burly armor soldiers standing in front of the Admiral's Mansion, their waists were straight and their eyes were not squinting, Li Zhongju felt that the green battalion soldiers under this Admiral must still have combat effectiveness.
Li Zhongju stepped forward and handed over the invitation, and one of the burly armor soldiers ran into the governor's mansion with the invitation.
After a while, the burly armor soldier ran out and said to Li Zhongju, "Childe, please, Lord Admiral, please." ”
Li Zhongju, under the leadership of this armor soldier, walked into the Admiral's Mansion and found that there were many soldiers arranged around the Admiral's Mansion. In fact, Li Zhongju knew that although the current governors of each province controlled the military power of a province, most of the troops that these commanders could really command did not exceed 5,000.
The governor of Guizhou Province is in charge of the military power of Guizhou Province, and his power is very high, Wang Jie is sitting in the hall at this time thinking about the future of China, this year, he is very angry about many treaties signed by the Qing court and the foreign powers, but he is slight, and he can't control the situation.
When Wang Jie heard that his friend of life and death, Li Yaoshan, recommended someone to see him, he immediately became energetic, and he also wanted to see what kind of young man this was, and his friends respected him so much.
Sure enough, Wang Jie didn't wait long, and Li Zhongju came to the lobby under the leadership of Jia Shi.
Wang Jie is dressed in a military uniform, very powerful, with a world-beating momentum, the tiger eyes stared at Li Zhongju tightly, and he had a high evaluation of Li Zhongju in his heart, Wang Jie is a straightforward person, he is very friendly to his subordinates and friends.
Li Zhongju also looked at Wang Jie, the veteran general on the battlefield, most of the governors and admirals of the Qing Dynasty were civil officials or Manchurians, but Wang Jie was an exception, he was promoted from a small soldier all the way to the position of governor of Guizhou by virtue of his military merits, and he had a high prestige in the army.
Li Zhongju said with the courtesy of the juniors, "I have seen the Admiral in my later life, and the Admiral has a good temperament. ”
Wang Jie laughed and said, "Young man, let's sit down and say, you are the most courageous young man the old man has ever met, yes, very good, I can't imagine that an old friend has such a wonderful old friend." ”
Li Zhongju smiled faintly and said, "Lord Wang is late, and looking at the officers and soldiers in Lord Wang's mansion in his late life, he can definitely be called the elite of the elite." ”
Wang Jie heard Li Zhongju say this, he was actually very proud in his heart, after all, this was his life's work, Wang Jie took a sip of tea, "The old man is just this hobby, and I look very closely at these rabbit cubs under my hands." None of them let me down, they all did well. ”
Wang Jie said with a straight face, "Brother Li said in the letter, let me come forward to deter the Zhenyuan Governor's Mansion, and let Liu Baoshan not block the development of your Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce behind your back." But the old man wants to see how capable you are, a young man. The old man promised you that no one would interfere this time, and your opponent would be Liu Baoshan, the prefect of Zhenyuan, if you can defeat him, Zhenyuan Mansion will be yours. ”
Li Zhongju was shocked, he didn't expect Wang Jie to have such an idea, "Since Lord Wang said so, he dared to act in his later life, and his lord could rest assured." ”
Wang Jie laughed and said, "If you have ambition, the old man believes that you can do it." In fact, Wang Jie did not say something in his heart, he was very optimistic about this young man, he pinned the hope of Huaxia's future on Li Zhongju, he believed in the vision of his old friend, he had entered the twilight of his life, even if he was ambitious, it was impossible to change in a short time.
Li Zhongju left the Admiral's Mansion with doubts, he looked at the sunlight in the sky, he understood that as long as his strength was strong, he would not be afraid of anything or anyone.
Li Zhongju returned to the inn, and Song Naruto immediately walked over, "Commander, what did the Admiral say?" ”
Li Zhongju shook his head, "The Admiral means to rely on us, but he will block the unwarranted obstruction of the province and even the imperial court for us." That's enough, this is the time for your Burning Mountain Camp to shine. ”
Song Naruto immediately said, "Commander, rest assured, every brother of our Lieshan Battalion will not embarrass the commander, and he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy." ”
Li Zhongju nodded, "Naruto, I believe that you can lead the Lieshan Battalion to defeat the enemy army, at present, the green battalion of the Qing Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, they all take the imperial court's Yulu, they have not trained for a long time, it's okay to bully the common people, if they meet the real elite, they will just bring about their own destruction." ”
Song Naruto looked at the confident commander, and his heart was full of convincing and infinite expectations.
The next day, Li Zhongju led everyone and embarked on the return journey, and the same people did not stop all the way, returning to Tianzhu County as fast as possible.
Liu Jiang has been anxious these days, if it weren't for the boss's order, the people from the Zhenwu Dart Bureau were not allowed to go to Fucheng to make trouble, otherwise it would be estimated that he would have turned Zhenyuan Fucheng upside down.
Liu Jiang has been waiting for the good news of the boss, today is the sixth day, he feels that the boss is coming back, he walked out of the dart game, stood at the door, and kept looking into the distance, looking for the boss.
Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Liu Jiang saw a very familiar person, riding a black horse galloping towards him.
Liu Jiang smiled at this time, with tears of vicissitudes in that smile, Li Zhongju who saw it was a little moved, Li Zhongju said angrily, "Liu Jiang, why haven't you lost so much weight in a few days?" How did you do it, go back to dinner, and come back to see me when you're full. ”
Liu Jiang could only go back to eat obediently, he knew that as long as the boss was there, the sky would not fall, and the boss was their god, their core, and their spiritual pillar.
After a while, Liu Jiang ran into Li Zhongju's study and smiled, "Boss, I just ate and drank enough, now boss, you can tell me what you have gained from going to Anshun Mansion this time." ”
Li Zhongju roughly told Liu Jiang about the results of this trip to Anshun Mansion, and Liu Jiang also felt a little incredible, and Liu Jiang immediately realized that this was a great opportunity for the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce.
Liu Jiang immediately begged the boss to add him to this operation, "Boss, I want to go to Zhenyuan Mansion to rescue the brothers." ”
Li Zhongju smiled slightly, "Liu Jiang, don't worry, when you contribute, I think that Liu Qing is not going to do anything to the brothers of the dart bureau now, he has a fancy to the entire Chamber of Commerce, and we are waiting for him in Tianzhu County." ”
Although Liu Jiang was a little unwilling, he also knew that a rash attack would only lose more brothers, "Boss, then I'll go down and hurry up to train the brothers in the dart game." ”
Li Zhongju nodded, watching Lijiang go out excitedly, but his mood was a little heavy.
Xiaomei groped in at some point, staring at Li Zhongju's little brother non-stop.
Li Zhongju said suspiciously, "Xiaomei, what are you laughing at?" ”
Xiaomei stuck out the tip of her tongue and said with a grimace, "Brother, Xiaomei hasn't seen my brother like this for a long time, it can't be that she has not had a good rest recently and is tired." ”
After Xiaomei said this, he knew that he hadn't been able to rest well recently, so he accompanied Xiaomei for a while, and then went to sleep.
Li Zhongju woke up, feeling much more energetic, his thinking was clearer, and many things that he hadn't figured out just now were immediately understood. I see, Admiral Wang Jie is testing himself.
Li Zhongju figured out this, his confidence increased dramatically, with his current strength, it should be very easy to defeat a prefect, but he must hide his true strength, and he can't make it known to everyone.
Zhenyuan Mansion City, in the prefect's garden.
A gorgeously dressed man, shaking a precious folding fan in his left hand, and touching a maid next to him from time to time with his right hand, looking very enjoyable. He is Liu Qing, the only son of Liu Baoshan, the governor of Zhenyuan Mansion, and a big bully in Zhenyuan Mansion.
There was a middle-aged man dressed like a master standing next to him, carefully serving the young man, "Childe, my subordinates have inquired clearly, the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce that has risen in Tianzhu County, and there is no big backer. ”
Liu Qing's eyes narrowed, and he smiled sinisterly, "Hahaha, then the son can rest assured that he will be in his pocket." ”
The wind is blowing, and a strong wind is blowing in the territory of Zhenyuan Mansion.
