"Hmmm......"

As soon as he heard Hongqing push the old thirteen out, the old fourteen was dumb, and after a noncommittal whisper, he didn't say a word for a long time, no side, the reason why the old fourteen proposed the military renewal plan this time, although he had the intention of catering to the needs of the eighth master, but more for his own consideration, just wanted to take this opportunity to behave a good life, in order to prove that he was not worse than the old thirteen, because of this, when making the plan, the old fourteen unceremoniously bypassed the old thirteen, The follow-up plan didn't plan to let the old thirteen interfere, and at this time he was asked to go to the old thirteen to ask about the big military training, isn't he slapping himself?

Hongqing pushed out the old thirteen not to embarrass the old fourteen, but more sincerely hoped that this armament update could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, not only to deal with the Dzungar tribes, or even not just to beat the rampant old Maozi, but also to allow the strong army of the Qing Dynasty to go to the world in the future, and to do this, it is obviously not enough to rely on the old fourteen's armament renewal plan, rather than spending so much money to form countless teams that are not like the four, it is better to slow down the pace, First with the new army as the backbone of the army gradually expanded to the rest of the armies, in this way, although the time will drag on for a longer time, the victory is based on a solid foundation, and there is a lot of room for future development, of course, although Hongqing knows how to do it, but it is impossible for him to come forward to reorganize the army, only the old thirteen, a neutral brother, can reassure all parties, as for the old fourteen's grievances, it is not within Hongqing's consideration.

"Uncle Fourteen, please use tea."

There is no need to ask, Hongqing also knows what the old fourteen are scrupling about, but he doesn't care, just because in this matter, Hongqing can't make concessions at all, if the old fourteen really want to go his own way, he can't say it, Hongqing can only be desperate to destroy the danger of destroying the balance of the court, and go all out to oppose the old fourteen's military strategy, even if it will affect the change of the central bank, he will not hesitate, because of this, Hongqing did not pay attention to the old fourteen's groaning, while making tea by himself, While waiting for the old fourteen to give an answer indifferently, he didn't expect that a pot of tea was boiled, and the old fourteen was still pondering there, Hongqing was impatient, so he poured a bowl of tea with his own hands, put it in front of the old fourteen, and politely interrupted a sentence.

"Well, I'm tired."

Lao Fourteen obviously still failed to make a decision, and he only subconsciously thanked Hongqing for his hospitality in pouring tea, but he didn't touch the tea bowl at all, but reached out and rubbed his temples, and said with a solemn expression: "The matter of military training must be considered holistically, and then it will be discussed." ”

"This is natural, this is the internal affairs of the Ministry of War, the fourteenth uncle thinks how to train the soldiers well, how to do it, the little nephew does not dare to say right and wrong."

Such a big matter, if you don't discuss it with the eighth master and others, the old fourteen will definitely not dare to make a decision, this point, Hongqing has a lot in his heart, and he will not be entangled at this time, so he just played haha, which can be regarded as putting this matter aside for the time being, and the old fourteen is in a hurry, and Hongqing has no intention of following it.

"That's it, I've drunk enough wine, I'm dizzy, go back and sleep first, and then discuss it when I have something, I don't need to send it, I will go by myself!"

Seeing that he couldn't negotiate a result, the old fourteen didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up, stretched hard, dropped a sentence, and left on his own.

"Brother Qing, what are you doing here?"

After Hongqing sent the old fourteen out of the door of the business, he did not rush back to the Ministry of Works, but turned around and entered the secret room behind the account room.

"Heh, I'm here to find out, ten ** is coming for Uncle Sixteen, but it just so happens that the little nephew is here, so I said that I came to find the little nephew, and I just talked about some armament rectification, I want to see that Uncle Eight's side must have made a decision, Uncle Sixteen should go to the Criminal Department this time There should be no obstacles, but after going, it must be an ambush, and please Uncle Sixteen must not be careless, everything must be careful."

Although the old fourteen did not mention the matter of the old sixteen going to the Ministry of Industry, but after a few conversations, Hongqing had already seen through his intentions, and the reason why he was not in a hurry to return to the Ministry of Industry was because he was worried about the old sixteen.

"Hmm."

Hearing Hongqing say so cautiously, Lao Sixteen woke up deeply, and his face was no longer full of indifference from earlier, replaced by a solemn look on his face, but there were not many words, just a light voice, but there was a burst of anger in his eyes......

"What? Let the old thirteen go to the army? Grandma's shame, that bastard boy can say that this thing is not feasible! It's a big deal that the big guy is scattered in two, and it doesn't matter if the armament is not updated, the master will join hands to reject the messenger of the old sixteen, see where that kid can be proud! ”

The old fourteenth was originally ordered to find the old sixteen to explore the truth, but he didn't expect to meet Hongqing, so pulled, the things talked about and the eighth master's earlier explanation is nothing to do with it, even so, the old fourteen did not dare to be the master himself, this left the "Qilin business", and hurriedly turned back to the eighth master's mansion, and explained the situation of the negotiation with Hongqing in detail, and the voice just fell, and the grumpy tenth master was already scolding on the table.

"Tenth brother, don't worry, sit down and say, sit down and talk."

The ninth master has been looking forward to the stars and the moon for so many years, and finally looking forward to the day when he is in the future, how can he easily say that he will let go, this time I heard that the old ten are making a fuss about turning over the third master's fold, even if he is not happy, but it is not good to deal with the ten masters, and he has no choice but to do a good job of explaining, pressing the shoulders of the ten masters, trying to appease the old ten's troubles.

"Hmph, this thing must not be done, look at the old thirteen and ignore everything, pretending to be like a saint, in fact, it is one with Hongqing's bastard, let the old thirteen come to the whole army, and the bastard boy can say it, this is to coax me and others as three-year-old children, grandma is a bear, want to organize the army? There are no doors! ”

The tenth master was on the fire, no matter what the ninth master felt, he shook his hand angrily, flicked away the palm of the ninth master, and scolded endlessly.

"Do you have any plans for the fourteenth brother?"

The eighth master didn't pay attention to the roar of the tenth master, and thought silently with a frown, but at the end, he still didn't say anything about it, but cautiously threw the problem to the old fourteenth.

"Starling Mingjian, the younger brother thinks that it is difficult to update the armament, otherwise, once there is something in the future, we are really passive, this one, from this battle can be glimpsed, and now there are no more than two, one is how to avoid the old thirteen, the other is that there must be a reason for the third to be unable to object, can do these two, then it will be done."

Since he came out of the "Qilin Firm", the old fourteen have been thinking all the way, and he has already had some plans in his heart.

"Well, only these two are difficult, can the fourteenth brother be successful?"

Jing Chen's first battle has just passed, and the eighth master can be said to be in a panic with pain in this battle, this time I heard the old fourteen mention, the scar on my heart that has not yet healed was uncovered again, it was really painful, and my face turned white in an instant, but I didn't comment on the gains and losses, but continued to ask a question.

"Difficult!"

If there is a good way, the old fourteenth can reach an agreement with Hongqing a long time ago, so why bring the problem back, at this time, the eighth master can only shake his head helplessly, and spit out a word with a bitter face.

"Hmmm......"

For the old fourteen's answer, the eighth master was not surprised at all, there was no side, and the eighth master himself couldn't come up with an accurate idea, so in desperation, he could only sigh with a long sigh, and then turned his gaze to Lu Chunyan, and asked expectantly: "Sir, how do you think this matter should be handled." ”

"Coping? Hehe, why do you want me to wait to deal with it, since King Renjun also intends to promote firearms, then let him have a headache, the fourteenth master just took care of this chapter, see what reaction there is, and then it's not too late to make a decision, only the fire extinguishers can be promoted in place, as far as we are concerned, it is a victory, as for the process, why bother too much. ”

All the brothers were worried, but Lu Chunyan laughed, reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and calmly pointed out the key to the matter.

"Ah, hey, Mr. is right, it doesn't matter if he doesn't organize the army, he only needs the dogs at the bottom to get the guns!"

As soon as Lu Chunyan said this, Lao Shi immediately became happy, grinned, and shouted hello.

"Well, that's what the gentleman said, and that's it."

At the moment, the ninth master only cares about whether he can get his hands on the lack of a central bank governor, as for the promotion of firearms, he actually doesn't care at all.

"That's right, fourteenth brother, do you think it can be done?"

The eighth master obviously agreed with Lu Chunyan's proposition, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision, but cautiously asked the old fourteen again.

"Then let's try it first."

Lu Chunyan's suggestion is indeed the best policy from the perspective of the interests of the small group, but for the old fourteenth, it is the next policy, not for anything else, just because the old fourteen's original intention is to establish his own prestige through the renewal of the armed forces, but Lu Chunyan is so tinkered, the intended purpose is obviously not realized, if Hongqing or the old thirteen come up with a more stable update plan, then his old fourteen's face will be completely lost, this is obviously not the situation that the old fourteen is happy to see, However, the opinions of the three brothers have converged, and even if the old fourteen is unhappy, he has no choice, so he can only follow the expression very reluctantly, and the grievance in his heart is self-explanatory......
