"Do you have to stop and stop? What is this called, then we are still fighting this battle? There is also the territory of Shanxi Province, just let it out, why? And this Tang Tianxi, I don't think it's a good product, his eyes always fly to Leng He, I really want to pull out his eyes! ”

After the banquet to receive Tang Tianxi, Sun Meiyao complained indignantly, although she and Chen Lenghe are usually not right with each other, but when there are really outsiders who threaten the small group of the family, Sun Meiyao can still distinguish the inside and the outside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Lenghe runs a huge bank, so naturally he can't use the standard requirements of ordinary women, attending social occasions, dealing with men, and even dancing at dinners are inevitable things. Her appearance is too outstanding, and her appearance is very different, which is very different from the current Jinguo women. Rao is Tang Tianxi saw Chen Lenghe in a glimpse of Huanshang Village, and this time he saw him again, still because of his color, but he was out of shape for a while, and his eyes circled around the beauty.

Tang Tianxi can be a personal companion to Yuan Weiting, in addition to his enchanting appearance, he is also a well-behaved character, and he will make up for it immediately as soon as he loses his temper. It's just that Sun Meiyao has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, and she doesn't rub sand in her eyes, so she can see his intentions at a glance, and she is even more dissatisfied with it.

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "Gong Bao's heart, it's different from our thoughts. If we don't stop, as long as I send a telegram, Reinstein's soldiers will be able to take Songjiang at once, and then the so-called Geming Party will become a joke. The pressure on the court is not great, how can it be willing to be at the mercy of the soldiers below, and the situation will return to the way it was in the past. Gong Bao rushed so far forward this time, once the court eased up, how could there be his good fruit to eat. Unless he really made up his mind, he rebelled in Huguang and marched north. Pity...... Judging from his return to Beijing to reorganize the cabinet, he still doesn't want to be infamous for bullying orphans and widows after all. ”

Sun Meiyao said: "Does he want to learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" ”

"Coercing the Son of Heaven, after all, there is a Son of Heaven, if my guess is right, his idea is to directly abolish the Son of Heaven. The second Washington in the world said by the Geming Party seemed to have impressed him. ”

He introduced Washington in Sun Meiyao's ear, and Sun Meiyao nodded and said, "It's been a long time, he wants to sit on his own." It's nothing, when he is the emperor, he is better than the alcohol king. But since ancient times, the emperor did not send hungry soldiers, he asked us to help, did not give benefits, and just let us withdraw from the army, which is too much to take us seriously. ”

"No way, relative, that's it. Relatives asking relatives for help are the toughest. I am a small group with him, and if he falls, I will naturally not be happy, so to defend him, but also to defend myself, there is nothing to say, I can only do as he says. Gong Bao is a man, there is no problem in being a man, he doesn't pay this time, it depends on what I do. This time, we ate too fat, and he was a little afraid, afraid that he couldn't control us. Even if he becomes Washington in the future, he is afraid that there will be a mountain below and will not listen to the dispatch. So we have to keep a low profile now, don't provoke him to suspect him for no reason, that will not be good for anyone. ”

The Fifth Town and the Second Association not only had Yangzhou's official funds and half of Xu Baoshan's savings, which was enough to make up for all the losses of the troops, but also controlled the Huaishang Salt Field, which was equivalent to catching a hen that laid golden eggs, and the wealth would roll in in the future.

Qingjiangpu is the place where the former governor of Caoyun is stationed, and it is the widest yamen in the world. Although with the abolition of Caoyun, the prestige is not there, but the standard in Jiang Yanbei's hand, whether it is equipment or training, can be regarded as elite in terms of the southern armies. This time, the fifth town recruited the rebels, and the troops expanded by more than one town, and swept the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the strength expanded greatly. also has a very powerful sailor on the inland river, and is fully qualified to compete with Yuan for a day.

Although Yuan Weiting still regarded Zhao as his relative on the surface, in his heart, he must have taken precautions, fearing that Zhao Wei would not be able to fall off and be uncontrollable. Especially now he is obviously in opposition to the imperial court, and most of them have the trend of replacing it with big gold, and Zhao Guanhou is Yuqing's husband after all.

Considering the characteristics of Zhao Guanhou valuing his wife over his career, once he was swayed by his wife, he would attack Yuan with his army, and the Beiyang Army would fight in the same room, and Yuan Weiting would not have a very good chance of winning. It was Tang Tianxi who came here, not only to deliver orders, but also to observe Zhao's reaction. If Zhao Guanhou excuses himself to push the back, the relationship between the two will inevitably be greatly affected. The attitude towards getting along in the future will inevitably be very different.

Zhao Guanhou is the person on the scene, he sees this very clearly, stretches out his hand to explore Sun Meiyao's chest, and whispers: "I cherish my friendship with Sister Jin Ying, and I don't want to fall out with Gong Bao." He lifted me up single-handedly, and if I dismantle his platform now, I won't be happy. Besides, what China needs now is a strongman as its leader, so that it can unite the forces of all sides and resume the construction of the country. In this regard, I have a similar view to the Ge Ming Party, the difference is that the strong person they support is Sun Dixiang, and I support Yuan Gongbao. We should have fished, and we have caught a lot, so we will accept it when we see it, and we should withdraw from the army. Leave a part of the men and horses in Jiangning to assist in the defense, and the brigade will return to their hometown in Shandong, and send another force to control the two Huai, so that the territory we have worked hard to fight will be seized by others. ”

Sun Meiyao answered, and said after a while: "You...... Are you going to Matsue and marry that little goblin? ”

"You have to do what you promise people. She is completely at home this time, and it is not easy to refuse such a request. If you want, we have another wedding ...... too."

"It's not uncommon, we've already been married in hugging the calf, I'm good with you in her head, she can't take this away." Sun Meiyao said as she rode on Zhao Guanhou and galloped. "She's just good-looking, if you want to serve you, she's far worse than me, I'm not afraid of her!"

The next day, Tang Tianxi wanted to ask Zhao Guanhou to return to Beijing together, but Zhao Guanhou made it clear that he was going to Songjiang to hold a wedding with Chen Lenghe. Tang Tianxi seemed to have been punched in the face, and said dumbfounded: "Knot...... Tie the knot? You're not...... Haven't you already married? ”

"That's right, the last ceremony was too hasty, I'm sorry for my wife, so I've been messing with me awkwardly. The goddess of wealth, you can't offend, besides, women are to be coaxed, since she said she wants a wedding, I have to give her a wedding. When my brother arrives in Beijing, he will say a few words for me in front of my brother-in-law, and I will also send a telegram to explain the difficulties to my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law will be able to understand. Dude, bother. ”

While speaking, a small box had already been handed over, and Tang Tianxi took it into his hands and knew that it was a big yellow croaker inside. With a soft hand, at the moment, the princes of Zhao Guanhou are not qualified to offend him. On second thought, the intent is known. Zhao Guanhou used marriage as an excuse, but he still didn't want to go to Beijing to go to troubled water.

Yuan Weiting entered Beijing to form a cabinet, and it is bound to replace King Qing, one side is the brother-in-law, and the other side is the father-in-law. It is not bad for him to simply come out of sight and stay away from the competition of the Jingshi.

Tang Tianxi was already a very sleek person, and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the little one has arrived in the capital and knows what to say." You went to Songjiang, but I heard that Emperor Sun was like them and they were going to Songjiang, this is ......"

"Brother Tang, don't worry, isn't it the north and the south to negotiate peace, I go to Songjiang, naturally I won't destroy the peace. As for Emperor Sun, he is a smart man, and he should know what to see and what not to see. I'm just going to get married this time, and I won't spoil the overall situation, so I ask Brother Tang to tell my brother-in-law, just rest assured. ”

Zhao Guanhou's telegram ordering Lu Bin to return to Shandong had already been sent yesterday, and the purpose of Tang Tianxi's trip had already been half accomplished. According to Tang Tianxi's observations, Zhao Guanhou has no dissenting ambitions at present, and although this newly rising force is strong, it is still willing to be used by Yuan Weiting. Between the five towns of Beiyang, there will still be advances and retreats together, at the same pace.

Compared with Yuan Weiting, who is gradually estranged, and Feng Yuzhang, who is getting closer and closer to the Alcohol Palace, there is a clear difference. And with this strong army as a deterrent, Feng Yuzhang did not dare to disobey the commander's order, and Yuan Weiting could finally sleep a few peacefully at night.

Before Tang Tianxi waited for Beijing, Yuan Weiting had already received a telegram, and after seeing Zhao Guanhou's message, he smiled helplessly: "Guanhou has become a handsome, but he still has the temper of the past, for the sake of women, you can throw everything down." Without saying a word, he led the troops to fight Jiangning, and then left the troops and went to Songjiang to hold a wedding. Chen Lenghe, this woman, seems to be better than Bao Daji back then. ”

Yuan Weiting's cousin Zhang Zhenfang said with a smile: "During the Chinese New Year, I saw her in Huanshang Village, and she was indeed a stunner who turned all beings upside down, so it's no wonder that Guanhou was fascinated by her." It's hard for big heroes to pass the beauty, which is also a common thing. He has made great contributions this time, how we should pay for the merits, and what should we do with his troops, it is a very wasteful matter. Lao Qing has no fear, and he also relies on the strong army of his son-in-law outside, so we still have to be careful about perfunctory this big guy. ”

In the past few years, Beiyang Xiaoqing King's gold and silver are like mountains, and this time the current affairs have changed, I originally thought that there was no need to sell this foolish prince's account. But now, King Qing is still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, the eight winds are not moving, outside the gate of King Qing's Mansion, there are still cars and horses, and the number of people who come to visit is not decreasing but increasing.

King Qing himself was fearless in the face of Yuan Weiting's forced palace. What he relied on, in addition to the good relationship in the past and the name of master and apprentice, was the tens of thousands of elites who had this son-in-law. For a concubine, he can come to Jiangning, if anyone is unfavorable to King Qing, these tens of thousands of soldiers will be able to enter King Jingqin and ask for guilt.

Yuan Weiting originally lacked a systematic view of the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Town, and only knew that its combat ability was outstanding and was the first of the Six Towns. But he didn't want it to be so strong, he defeated Jiangning in the first battle, and then swept the southeast, and no one could control it. Now it has the support of the water army, and the strength is even stronger.

Moreover, this time the troops were dispatched, and the Fifth Town was actually a protest order, which was for Zhao Guanhou's own personal relationship and violated Yuan Weiting's arrangement. No one in the army came out to speak out against the odds or refuse to obey commands.

Lu Bin's headquarters has entered Taiyuan and made a windfall in Shanxi, Lu Bin himself is also very majestic in Shanxi, and many gentry took the initiative to marry their daughters to him. When it comes to prestige, he is only stronger than the governor, but as soon as Zhao Guanhou's telegram arrived, Lu Bin's men immediately packed up, transferred the wagons from the Road Bureau, and returned to Shandong. In addition to leaving a group of people in Niangzi Pass, he actually has no moments of attachment to Shanxi, the richest province in the north.

This shows that the entire Shandong army has been controlled by Zhao Guanhou, and if Lu Bin resists the order, the troops will immediately remove him from his duties. As the old boss of this army, Yuan Weiting's order could no longer take effect directly in Shandong.

Regardless of Zhao Guanhou's personal loyalty, his prestige and influence in Shandong are beyond Yuan Weiting's ability. In addition to the first town composed of banner people, the Beiyang Army also had another army, which was not controlled by Yuan Weiting.

Yuqing sent his servant Gao Jinzhong to the sixth town to bribe the captain of Wu Dingzhen's guard to kill Wu and behead Wu with a large amount of money, although it solved the danger of cutting off the back road of the Beiyang soldiers, but also made Yuan Weiting realize that a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff.

Although the banner man has lost his power and is unpopular, but a big man like King Qing, who has been in power for many years, still has some chess pieces available below. Figures like Yuqing may have more plans, and they are not without influence in other towns.

What he is doing now is the same as Wu Dingzhen, and it is the same thorn in the side of the flag people, but he must also be guarded against. Zhao Guanhou's identity can only be regarded as his subordinate in the past, or a chess piece raised by one hand, but now his strength is enough to compete with him, and he must be cautious in his attitude.

He thought for a moment, "Big guy, whether there is a fifth town or not, we should serve with our hearts, and we must have a banner man come forward for our major affairs." The identity and seniority of the big guy are all very suitable candidates. We cannot offend such people. As for the crown marquis...... As long as he doesn't make trouble in Songjiang, everything will be fine. You go and send a telegram to Yi Shao, and ask him to prepare 100,000 yuan for Guanhou, which is a congratulatory gift from me. At present, the overall situation is important, among the banner people, the brothers of Beifu are easy to deal with, but it is Liangfu and Xiaogong Wang who always want to oppose us. The Praetorian Guard is not enough, but the Fifth Town is mostly to be used as a lifeline. The more times like this, the more we must not mess up our own positions, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain. ”

Zhang Zhenfang nodded and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I know how to do it." I just feel that Guanhou's heart is still a bit towards the flag man, otherwise, there is no need to worry about being difficult to be a person, hiding from each other. He has both strength and ten-grid relationships, and in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to arrange him. No matter how high or low the arrangement is, there may be changes, and if it is not good, it is the second Feng Huafu. is like Jiang Ning, this is the territory he has beaten down, but if Jiang Ning is given to him, what will others think? ”

Yuan Weiting said: "Zhenfang, this layer, I have already thought about it. The relationship between Shigege and him has greatly helped him, without Shigege, Lafayette will not hand over a new army to him for training, let alone release the governor and open the government. But this relationship, which is both an arm and a constraint, is certainly good for him at this time, but it will be his biggest flaw in the future. The world has been a bitter Jurchen for a long time, and a Gege is destined to have countless pairs of eyes staring at him, guarding him, for fear that after the Yan family comeback, the Yellow Dragon Flag will float on the Forbidden City again. For this layer, he is destined not to have much development, and only by relying on my protection can he have his own place. I use him, although I believe that he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, but I also believe that I can control him. ”

He said as he pointed to the map, "Jiangning, it is indeed a good place." But we are a group, just like a family, in the mansion, the uncle has the ability and can make a lot of money, and the children of the second and third rooms have no skills and can't support themselves. The big house also has to find a way to make a living for the other houses, and he can't put all the money he earns in his pocket. In that case, it won't be called a family. This Jiangning, even if it is a litmus test, if Guanhou can't let it go, it proves that everyone will have to split up sooner or later, and it is better to divide early than later. If he can take care of the big picture, I will also give him an explanation. ”

Yuan Weiting smiled slightly, "Town, tell the car to be prepared outside." ”

"Cousin, are you going?"

"Go to the big guy to say goodbye, our business has to be done quickly. The things of the world can only be said to be good, and we must first have a name before we can let go of our hands and feet to do things. Otherwise, why should the people below listen to us? I prepared a heavy gift for the big guy, according to my understanding of the big guy, as long as he sees the gift list, he will be happy from the heart, and when the time comes, don't say that he will give up the position of the head of the cabinet, even if he sells his ancestors, he is willing.
