The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Zuo Jigao wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, leaving without saying a word seemed to be showing weakness to Li Shaoquan, so he simply walked towards Li Shaoquan.

After Li Shaoquan saw Zuo Jigao, he was bored and didn't want to see him, but when he saw Zuo Jigao walking towards him, he couldn't help but feel very strange, so he slowed down.

"Li Zhangtong, it's been a long time." Zuo Jigao came to Li Shaoquan and said proudly.

Hearing Zuo Jigao call his name directly, with a domineering look, Li Shaoquan was angry in his heart, but on the surface he was still silent, just raised his hand slightly, which was regarded as a reply.

For Zuo Jigao, he really didn't even bother to speak.

"You came to Beijing by edict?" Seeing that Li Shaoquan completely ignored him, Zuo Jigao rushed up in his heart, and immediately questioned loudly.

"If the minister of Xinjiang is not edicted, how dare he leave his post and come to Beijing without permission? Li came to Beijing because of the edict. Li Shaoquan said quietly, "I don't know why Zuo Zhitai has such a question?" ”

Li Shaoquan did not immediately ridicule Zuo Jigao and call him "you", but respectfully called him "Zuo Zhitai" and reminded him to pay attention to their respective identities.

In terms of age, Li Shaoquan is ten years old when he is younger than Zuo Jigao, but in terms of official positions, Li Shaoquan is the governor of Zhili and the head of the Xinjiang ministers, and Zuo Jigao is the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, which is one layer worse.

"Since Li Zhengtai entered Beijing with an edict, when he was called to the right place, he should get rid of selfishness and put state affairs first! Don't speak for the little ghosts! Of course, Zuo Jigao heard the meaning of Li Shaoquan's words. Anger rose in his heart. Because it's just a lifter, not a jinshi. It can be said that he has the biggest heart disease, but he can't compare with Li Shaoquan in this regard, so he has to change his name, but he still has a tone of teaching his juniors.

"Hehe, as the saying goes, compare your heart to your heart, Zuo Xiangnong, you said that I Li has selfish intentions. I'm afraid that your Zuo's selfishness is bigger than anyone else! Li Shaoquan said with a smile, "Li has always been virtuous and does not avoid relatives, I don't know which one you are talking about?" If Li recognized it, he would naturally recommend it to the imperial court. ”

"Lin Yiqing's rebellious son is comparable to Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, it is a great scourge, hated by Japan, Russia and other countries, and he can't stay in Japan. If you don't have the size of your body, you want to go back to Daqian to survive. It is estimated that there is no shortage of doors, and it is estimated that you Li Shaoquan are indispensable! The old man is here to warn you first, if you do such a thing, the old man will not spare you! Zuo Jigao glared at Li Shaoquan and said loudly.

"Hehe, Lin Yiqing has no merit, people in the world have their own opinions! It's not like you Zuo Jigao, greedy for the merits of others for yourself! Li Shaoquan heard Zuo Jigao call himself an "old man", and remembered that he called himself a "foolish brother" on the couplet sent by his teacher Zeng Bohan after his death, and he rushed up angrily, and then regardless of the face of officialdom, he directly reprimanded Zuo Jigao.

"You Zuo Ji Gaoyan will call you a great contribution to pacifying the Western Xinjiang, but is the Western Xinjiang really pacified by you? marched and fought, all of them fought Liu Jintang and Zhang Yao, and you Zuo Jigao didn't move his mouth, so he attributed the credit to his name; Another example is to pacify the bandits, the bandit leader Zhang Zhongyu has been forced by me to throw himself into the water and die, you want to play and say that Zhang Bandit is alive, and you want to send troops to look for it, can you find it? Zuo Jigao, in your life, you just rely on your mouth to grab credit! To put it bluntly, even if there is no merit with my teacher Zeng Wenzhenggong and my Li Shaoquan to compete with you, just rely on your ability, and you want to compete for all the merit? ”

"You Zuo Jigao said that Lin Yiqing has no size merit, hehe, it's really unashamed, everyone in the world knows that if it weren't for Lin Yiqing to contain the Russians in Japan, the Russian army would have been exhausted, and the bandits in Western Xinjiang would have lost the support of the Russians, with your Zuo Jigao's ability, you would be able to recover Western Xinjiang? You Zuo Jigao called himself 'Jinliang', do you know that Zhuge had the defeat of Wucheng in the past? ”

"You want to prevent Lin Yiqing from returning to his home country and serving Daqian, but you are afraid that other people's merits will overshadow you! You are jealous and jealous, Lin Wenxiang won the battle of the widows, you slandered in every way, you are ungrateful, Guo Yunxian has a great favor to you, you are unwilling to beggar-thy-neighbor for him, and you have to participate in his post if you can even connect the fold! My teacher Zeng Wenzhenggong has been a great favor to you in his life, and you don't want to repay it, but slander his old man's reputation everywhere! How can a person like you dare to rap here? ”

"Li Shaoquan! You insult me so much, I don't share heaven with you! Hearing Li Shaoquan expose his old bottom repeatedly, Zuo Jigao was very angry, and shouted with a fist, "I won't let you get your heart!" Then the Lin family, wait to go to the underworld and meet his brother! Your life Li Shaoquan can't be better, let's see! ”

"Your Zuo Jigao's ability is not as good as this Lin family's master, I'm afraid that it will be you Zuo Jigao who will go to the underworld when the time comes!" Li Shaoquan sneered, "If you want to harm him, you have to be careful with your own life!" ”

"Humph! Will the old man be afraid of him? It's just Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao! The old man doesn't believe that he can't be manipulated! Zuo Jigao said with contempt on his face, "Tell him to let the horse come!" The old man will tell him to die without a place to be buried! ”

"Zuo Jigao, don't forget, the last one who said Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao is dead, and they are all dead!" Li Shaoquan said coldly.

Hearing Li Shaoquan's words, Zuo Jigao suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Huang Shulan's family died in a landslide, and he knew very well.

"Huang Shulan's family died in vain! I'm going to find out about him! Zuo Jigao said angrily, "Even if this thief surnamed Lin did it, maybe he did it!" ”

"If you want to check, whatever you want!" Li Shaoquan snorted and stared at Zuo Jigao's eyes, "It's just that the more than 2,000 Huai soldiers died in your Western Expeditionary Army, and I will also ask the court to find out what he is!" ”

Zuo Jigao made Li Shaoquan's heart shrink when he spoke, he glared at Li Shaoquan angrily, and said to himself: "The Huai army mutinied, and the old man, as the commander of the whole army, should be suppressed!" What's wrong? ”

"Bullet pressure? You have killed more than 2,000 taels of Huai disciples, and you dare to say that it is bullet pressure? Li Shaoquan said angrily.

"My Zuo Jigao is above board, and I have a clear conscience!" Zuo Jigao said stiffly.

"Do you Zuo Jigao still dare to say that you have a heart? Zeng Wenzhenggong has a great kindness to you, how did you treat Zeng Wenzhenggong? Guo Yunxian has a life-saving grace for you, how do you treat Guo Yunxian? You are ungrateful, crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Are you still here and shamelessly say that you have a heart? Li Shaoquan said disdainfully.

Zuo Jigao made Li Shaoquan's words tremble with anger. He's going to roar again. But feeling a bit of suffocation, he pounded his chest with his fist and coughed violently.

Seeing Zuo Jigao's appearance, Li Shaoquan knew that he had talked about Zuo Jigao's sore spot, and sneered again.

"I see that you Zuo Jigao is still saving his breath, think about how to prevent that Lin family master from coming back is serious! If he comes back, he will definitely avenge his brother Lin Wenxiang, and I am afraid that it will be your Zuo Jigao's limit at that time! ”

Li Shaoquan finished speaking. Yang Tian laughed three times, turned the jade ball in his hand, paced the square steps, and went to take care of himself, leaving Zuo Jigao to look at Li Shaoquan's back gradually moving away, trembling.

Beijing, Prime Minister's Yamen for State Affairs.

Prince Jing felt a little tired and was about to rest for a while, when someone came to report that the French minister Baohai had asked to see him.

"Please." Prince Jing was keenly aware of something. Said immediately.

Soon, Baohai entered the hall. Seeing Prince Jing, Baohai seemed very affectionate, and Prince Jing was also very enthusiastic.

Because of the cooperation between Qianguo and France in the shipbuilding industry and the military industry, the relations between the two countries were closer than those of other countries, and when Japan invaded Moss Bay that year, the French side was the first to warn the Qianguo government and provided a lot of important information, which enabled the Qianguo side to act quickly, and the military and diplomatic measures were both at the same time, thus stopping Japan's ambitions. After that cooperation, the "friendship" between the two countries became stronger, so Prince Jing naturally looked at the French Minister Baohai differently.

After the two of them chattered for a while, they began to cut to the main topic.

"Honorable Royal Highness, I would like to ask you a question in my personal capacity." Bao Hai looked at Prince Jing, changed his words, and said, "What do you think of the country of Vietnam?" ”

Listening to Baohai's question, Prince Jing couldn't help but be surprised.

Could it be that something happened in Vietnam?

"I think a peaceful and stable Vietnam is a good thing for both Daqian and France." Prince Jing replied quietly.

"You are right, I also believe that France and the Great Cadres have the obligation to jointly maintain peace and stability in Vietnam." Bao Hai replied with a smile, "However, I don't think the Vietnamese government seems to think so. ”

"Why do you say that? Did you get any news? Prince Jing asked.

Prince Jing vaguely felt that Baohai's visit today was a little unusual, and his current attention was completely focused on Japan and the Ryukyus, thinking about how to let Lin Yiqing return to his mother country as soon as possible.

"I have received information that there are bandits in Vietnam, and they seem to be bandits who have fled to Vietnam from the territory of Da Gan, and the Vietnamese government is powerless to suppress them, so it is taking advantage of the contradictions between them to make them fight, and it is said that this struggle has evolved into a war of no small scale." "The war between these bandits has seriously affected the normal life of the local people and also endangered the safety of foreigners doing business there, and I think that as a country with important interests in Vietnam, the French Empire and the Daqian Empire should find a way to stop this disaster." ”

After listening to Baohai's words, Prince Jing immediately understood.

What Baohai said is Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army!

Liu Yongfu is a native of Shangsi Village, Bobai County, Guangxi, and is called "Liu Er" by the people around him because of his brother Zhongxing Er. Liu Yongfu's family was poor since childhood, his hometown was affected by the disaster when he was a child, and he fled to Qinzhou with his parents to take refuge in his uncle, Xianfeng four years (9054) Liu Yongfu was 17 years old, his parents and uncle all died in the famine, Xianfeng seven years, Liu Yongfu, who was really hungry and couldn't survive, decided to "rise up" with a group of poor villagers for the sake of food, participated in the local Tiandihui uprising, and threw himself into the subordinate Zheng Sanmen of Wu Lingyun, the leader of the Tiandihui in Guangxi; When Zheng San couldn't feed him, Yu Xianfeng switched to Wu San in the tenth year, but Wu San's grain and grass soon had problems, and Liu Yongfu did not hesitate to change the court and vote for another peasant army, Wang Shilin; However, soon Wang Shilin's supply also had difficulties, and it was obvious that he could not feed Liu Yongfu; Liu Yongfu then switched to Huang Sihong, who was the enemy of Wang Shilin in the fourth year of Tongzhi, and attacked Wang Shilin with a counterattack, and became a battalion officer with more than 200 people, and finally had his own team; Tongzhi was five years old, when Huang Sihong's grain and grass could not be maintained. Liu Yongfu, who is already 29 years old, took about 200 people in Huang Sihong's team to switch to "give 30,000 money." Rice is optional. Wu Yazhong, who is limited to enough food, quickly turned his gun to help Wu Yazhong kill Huang Sihong in order to accept the "name letter"; In the battle to eliminate Huang Sihong, Liu Yongfu's courage and ruthlessness were deeply appreciated by Wu Yazhong, and he was awarded the "Vanguard of the Left Wing Former Enemy", at this time Liu Yongfu's department had its own military flag - "Black Bottom Big Dipper Seven Star Flag" and "Black Flag Army".

But the good times didn't last long, when Wu Yazhong was injured when Tongzhi's six-year cadre army surrounded and suppressed Wu Yazhong's troops, Liu Yongfu saw that the situation was not good, and the 200 or so people in his team ran away, and Wu Yazhong had considerable trust and appreciation for Liu Yongfu at that time. He even decided to marry his sister to Liu Yongfu, but Liu Yongfu was reluctant: if he married Wu Yazhong's sister, it would be equivalent to becoming Wu Yazhong's "immediate family", and he would definitely be affected by being investigated by the cadres in the future, and if he didn't marry, he would offend Wu Yazhong again. Liu Yongfu ran into Vietnam.

After escaping into Vietnam, the Vietnamese government was unable to exterminate the rebel forces in exile, including the Black Flag Army, and the only way to divide and disintegrate these remnants of the rebels from the Qianguo was to divide and disintegrate. The method of recruiting and attacking a group -- The Vietnamese government does not think it has the ability to wipe out the outrageous bandits and rebels entrenched in northern Vietnam. It is necessary to rely on the "heavenly soldiers" of the Celestial Empire to help suppress them, and when the Celestial Empire has no time to take care of it for the time being, it can only adopt the method of dividing and dividing the country, appeasing and attacking a group, and using the method of peasant armies to fight peasant armies to control the threat of these roving armed forces within an acceptable range. Liu Yongfu chose to accept Zhao'an and serve the Vietnamese government, in order to accept this petition, Yu Tongzhi led the Black Flag Army to cooperate with the Vietnamese government army and Wu Yazhong's peasant army comrade-in-arms Huang Chongying's "Yellow Flag Army" to attack, after the initial victory, the Vietnamese government decided to expel Liu Yongfu's troops, and invited Feng Zicai, the governor of Guangxi, to suppress it. After hearing the news, Liu Yongfu, who was extremely panicked, immediately cried to the Vietnamese government and begged for sincerity, saying that he was willing to wholeheartedly help the Vietnamese government completely kill Huang Chongying, who had been in Wu Yazhong's department, and only begged him not to expel him. In addition to the annual "basic salary" issued by the Vietnamese government, 80,000 taels of silver can be collected every year to buy roads.

Many people in a certain life have been accusing the Celestial Empire government of treating the Black Flag Army as "cannon fodder-like exploitation". It's not without reason, though. Looking at Liu Yongfu's "wall-grass" general personal resume, everyone will put a question mark on his "loyalty": it is said that "three family slaves" are absolutely hateful, there were Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms in ancient times, Hou Jing in the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, and Wu Shangui, Gao Jie, Li Chengdong, etc. at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qian, but when it comes to the frequency of changing masters, I am afraid that these people are just "small witches" in front of Liu Yongfu. Liu Yongfu is not only a "three-surname", but the peasant army with the number can be counted has voted for five, not counting the Vietnamese government and the Great Qianguo. Even if it is forced by life, if you just play "marquee" for the sake of your personal worth and life, this kind of behavior may not be welcomed in Vietnam, let alone in a country where etiquette and religion are the first and morality is paramount. In this era when loyalty is worshiped as a god, the grass on the wall is the most despised, whether it is an official or a thief, and Liu Yongfu lacks loyalty in the eyes of the officials and even the people of the Great Qianguo.

After successively sheltering the displaced people, bandits, wanted criminals, deserters, and the remnants of the Tiandihui and Shengping Army that were scattered by the regular army of the Qianguo, Liu Yongfu organized these stragglers and mobilized them in combination with the local peasants (this is an authentic "mobilization of the masses"), and organized an army that was well-organized, combined with agriculture and warfare, and trained (according to the standards of bandits), and followed the black seven-star battle flag formulated by him when he was in Wu Yazhong's department, which was called the "Black Flag Army" by the people of the time.

The Black Flag Army's standing strength was usually around 2,000 men, with a maximum strength of no more than 3,000, but it quickly became an important separatist force in northern Vietnam.

The reason why this is possible is that the Black Flag Army has a relatively high overall quality compared with the Vietnamese government army and other local cadre forces (but it will never be above the training of the Hunan army, the Huai army, or even the youth brigade training army in the elite regiment of the cadre army, otherwise, the well-trained elite of the Black Flag Army would have echoed the anti-cadre forces lurking in Guangxi inside and outside and made a comeback), and although it was equipped with the "Remington" single-shot rifle and the "Grass" single-shot rifle of the Vietnamese servant army partially captured by the French, There were even a small number of Mauser 71 rifles smuggled from Hong Kong. The salvo firepower of the rifle equivalent units of the Black Flag Army even exceeded that of the French regular army, which was uniformly armed with single-shot "Grasse" rifles, but it was difficult to guarantee ammunition in wartime. In addition, because the Black Flag Army is armed in the nature of regimental training that combines agriculture and warfare, and is half peasant and half soldier, its quality is among the best among the same armed forces, but compared with the first-class professional army, the gap is still huge. Moreover, the education level of the troops, from officers to soldiers, is low, and they basically do not have the ability to conduct positional warfare, stormy battles, and field battles with regular troops.
