Chapter 277: Diversion (II)
Zhao Guanhou's house is a home of a martial artist in the city, and he is in a hurry to move, and there are knives and guns in the courtyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Cuiyu is already like a housewife, cleaning around with a feather duster.
Zhao Guanhou smiled: "We don't live permanently, what are you cleaning it for?" ”
"That's not possible, stay for a day or two, and you have to be clean, this is decent, and it is also the pomp of your lord." Cui Yu laughed while talking, and Yu Qing said on the side: "Yes, a dragon sword, a spring gold watch, a coral pen holder, and a jade fan pendant." Although the value is not much, it is all the royal things of the first emperor during his lifetime, this is really a piece of paper painting nose, so big face. Reward the head and wear the top, and give the name Guoyong Baturu, this is just the beginning, and I don't know how many rewards there will be later. In my opinion, someone should come to the door in the next few days to leave your relationship, and if the pomp and circumstance are insufficient, people will laugh at it. ”
"And the hereditary cavalry captain." Zhao Guanhou looked at Yuqing with a smile, "You compare with each other, see who will give birth to a cavalry lieutenant for me first." ”
"Beautiful you." Yuqing glared at him, but the sweet smile on his face still couldn't be hidden. A riding lieutenant is actually not a great job for her, but after all, she thinks that her identity is nobler than other women in the family, and this riding captain is destined to live by herself, and no one else's share.
Jiang Fengzhi and Sun Meiyao are both laymen when they talk about the pomp and circumstance of the government, and when they hear them, they don't know how to answer, so they feel despised recently, so they have to go to the courtyard to fiddle with knives and guns. Yu Qing is an expert, laying out with Jade, ready to deal with visitors.
Sun Meiyao said in a rough voice: "Guanhou, the handsome man explained that matter, what do you think?" This time, we also fought hard, with ten battalions before and after, and two battalions of soldiers were prepared in Henan to take over. If things can't be done, it's hard to explain. ”
"The chief manager, I have made it very clear what I said, and I have also taken care of what should be done, as long as the chief manager knows what to say." Zhao Guanhou showed a sneer on his face, and took Sun Meiyao's hand, "You have scattered the cavalry in the past few days, and you have gone all over the country to kill the deserters." Kill those soldiers who escaped from the battle who should be killed, and catch those who should be caught. If you don't want to die, you will be arrested and given to us as a master, and the rest will be cut off and hung up. Now the Queen Mother is escorted by our right army. If she doesn't listen to us, who will she listen to? ”
Yuqing's face was a little ugly, Zhao Guanhou hurriedly took her hand again, and held both of their hands in his hands, "It's not a bad thing to go to Shandong, it's really miserable to go to Shaanxi." The people there were so poor and poor that they could not afford to raise a large army. What's more, the road is difficult to travel, and it is also very difficult for the provinces to report the payment of Beijing salaries, and it is also very difficult to transport it to Shaanxi, and the road fee alone is several times more than that of Shandong. When you arrive in Shandong, it is also a good thing for the people, you can reduce a large amount of manual apportionment on the road, and you can benefit from several aspects, and you can count the good things in one fell swoop. ”
"The biggest benefit is still Yuan Laosi, he takes over the drive, and he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, maybe he will be able to enter the military plane. But it's not always good to use this soldier's method of hijacking. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled, "This is not a hijacking, but a persuasion." If Lafayette doesn't listen, he has to go to Shaanxi, then we have no choice but to follow, and there will be no mutiny, so you can rest assured. Yuan Gongbao will not bear the name of a chaotic minister and thief, and he will never do anything rebellious. ”
In the palace, Li Lianying also said this sentence: "Yuan Gongbao is definitely not a chaotic minister and thief, he doesn't have the guts, Lafayette wants to say that he will go to Shaanxi, and there is no second word about being a soldier." But...... The minions saw very clearly that these soldiers were indeed homesick. In this battle with foreigners, they suffered a lot of casualties, and the soldiers had a sense of homesickness, if they went farther and farther away from home, this morale was not as good as it is now. ”
Cixi nodded, thinking about this question in his heart, the only force available around him now was this right army. Once the right army is separated from itself, even if it does not dare to commit the robbery, it will only disperse in a hurry, and the safety of the two palaces will not be guaranteed. There are many swordsmen in the green forest in Guanzhong, there is no strong army to protect them, and the royal car may also be robbed, if you are escorted by local troops, you will rely on those pus, I am afraid that it is really not the opponent of those bandit swordsmen.
Looking at the Universal Communiqué again, she had no idea in her heart. asked Li Lianying: "Tell me, if we go to Shandong, what should we do if the foreigners have to see me?" ”
When Li Lianying heard her words, she knew that she had already moved her heart, and said with a smile: "Lafayette don't worry, such an eyeless person will not be sent by their country as a consul." The slave doesn't understand local things, but when he went out of Beijing to see Beiyang with the seventh master, he heard someone say it. This Shandong is indeed richer than Shaanxi, and it is not too difficult to run the emperor. Shaanxi is really poor, and the people are also fierce, and when they hear that they don't agree with each other, they will use the knife. Dong Wuxing is there, and he also has deep roots and some power. Now that he is dead, no one can say what kind of attitude those people have towards the court. If we go to Shaanxi, we still have to recruit more troops from Shanxi, so as not to have enough local manpower. ”
"In that case, Shaanxi is not as good as Shandong?"
"Not really. Lufutai and Han Zhongtang are the closest people, and they are always their own people, so they can take care of them. Besides, Lu Weng is a loyal minister, stronger than Yuan Weiting. The slave heard Qin Wangjun from Shanxi say that Shaanxi is also recruiting. ”
"There are not many foreigners in Shaanxi, what are you recruiting for?"
"It is said that Lufutai decided to fight with the foreigners, and after preparing to recruit all the soldiers, he will lead the troops out of Shaanxi and fight with the foreigners to the end. Those swordsmen, green forests, were all received by him in the army, given swords and guns to official positions, and put on official clothes, they were soldiers. ”
"He's going to use these soldiers to fight foreigners?" Cixi's face sank, "This is just child's play, he is a civilian official, he doesn't know how to march and fight, and I don't expect his soldiers to play any role, but if he doesn't work, don't add to the chaos." Isn't this kind of trouble the same as the rear army? ”
"There is no way to do this, there are too many robbers in Shaanxi, if you don't use this method, turn the robbers into officers and soldiers, Runweng (Lu Chuanlin's word Runwan) is afraid that he will not be able to suppress those strongmen."
Cixi nodded, "You go down, Haosheng comforts Zhao Guanhou and asks him to control his soldiers." If there is another accident in the right army of Wuwei, there will be no one around us who can be used. Tell him that this reward is the beginning, and when he settles down, he will have his own reward. ”
In the capital, in the Luanyi Palace, Sai Jinhua thoughtfully arranged his beard for Wadsey, the world marshal, laughed with satisfaction. This trip to China has gained the heart of an oriental lady, and for him, it is also a very face-saving thing.
From the bottom of his bones, he looked down on the actions of those Tiele people, who were simply barbarians and had no beauty at all. It's still this kind of conquering by one's own charm that is more flavorful. Sai Jinhua danced with Prince Henry, he had seen the photo, such a noble lady would not fall in love with herself because of wealth and other reasons. The only explanation is that his charm is still so great, and he can still impress such a beauty.
He has a wife at home, and he is a Yankee billionaire, so it is naturally impossible to have a result with Sai Jinhua. However, during this time, there was a temporary wife in the Jin Kingdom, but it was enough to dismiss the years.
Sai Jinhua took advantage of her relationship with Wadsey, not only lived in the palace and achieved the highest pursuit in life, but more importantly, her fame became more and more famous, from the champion lady to the world marshal's wife. There will only be more and more people who want to tie up with her, and when the coalition forces retreat in the future, her business in the capital will only be bigger.
Taking advantage of Wadsey's care, she is now in charge of the food supply of the coalition forces in the capital, and she has made a lot of money from it. And because he dissuaded Wadsey from sending gendarmes, he slightly interfered with the atrocities of the coalition forces, and gained a good reputation for himself.
With the reputation of this Sai Jinhua to protect the capital, the future peace will be discussed, and the two palaces will return to Luan, she Sai Jinhua is still her second master, and she is not afraid that someone will find her back account. During this period, King Qing often came to visit her, hoping that she could mediate and promote peace.
Drinking water and thinking about the source, to be able to get to this point today, it is natural to thank Zhao Guanhou for his original dedication and planning, and it is Sai Jinhua who also paid special attention to Zhao Guanhou's situation when he was serving Wadsey. Wadsey did not hide it from her,
It's like telling a joke, introducing Tieler's defeat.
With a huge combat unit of 4,000 men, it was actually defeated by the Jin soldiers, and the Cossack cavalry regiment, which was famous all over the world, suffered a devastating blow, and more than one out of ten middle and high-ranking officers, and more than eighty percent of the troops were killed or wounded.
The Guards behaved in the same way as a joke, the commander fled and a company of lancers threw in. Today, King Qing, who is in charge of the National Affairs Yamen of the General Office, has just come to say hello and wants to talk to Tiele about the exchange of prisoners. It was not so much a greeting as a deliberately disgusting person, and Levinich's face was as ugly as his dead father, and he spent the day hiding from the commanders of various countries.
Speaking of these, Wadsy laughed even more happily, "These damn Tiele people, who want to monopolize their interests in China, actually want to arrest the empress dowager and emperor of Dajin." This kind of behavior will not be acceptable to any of us in any country. As a result, this time, they actually lost such a big face, I think Nikolai's must have cursed these officers in his own palace. These fools, their existence, is a disgrace to the entire Tiele Empire. If we had all such opponents on the Western Front, then one Prussian soldier could have dealt with five Tielers. ”
Sai Jinhua smiled, "A general is incompetent, exhausting thousands of troops." Tiele did not have a famous general like the marshal, so he would naturally lose the battle. However, it is a good thing that Tiele lost the battle, but for the coalition forces, your purpose has not been achieved. On the contrary, after the Jin State achieves this victory, it will reassess the situation between the two sides, and it will be even more difficult for you to reach peace talks. ”
"Madam, you are a native of the Jin country, aren't you happy for the victory of your motherland?"
"No, marshal, women are sensual creatures. We only care about the people we love, not about our own country. I don't have feelings for Jin Guo, all I care about is you. ”
This rice soup was poured just right, and Wadsey laughed, "Baby, tell me, what do you think we should do?" ”
"I don't know how to be diplomatic, but I know how to do business, and in business, sometimes you need to be a little tough, and only then can you get your opponent to give in. For example, Yuxian, the governor of Shanxi, this person is very bad, I heard that many missionaries and foreign citizens have been killed, you can ask the general office of the national affairs yamen to convey your request and deal with Yuxian. And make the appearance of attacking Shanxi. ”
"Attack Shanxi? I did like this plan, but ...... The terrain there is not conducive to our fighting. There is no suitable railway to transport troops there, and supplies are difficult to transport, and it is really disadvantageous to fight there. In fact, after the completion of the crusade of Beizhili, the troops of all countries needed to rest and reorganize, and only the stupid Tiele people thought about continuing the attack. ”
Sai Jinhua also knew that those soldiers did not need to be repaired, but because they had looted a lot of property, the soldiers had lost their fighting spirit. The vigor of the offensive is not as good as before, and the countries have also begun to push each other, and they are not willing to fight hard battles. And after the defeat of the Tiele people themselves in the last battle, they did not dare to act rashly at will, and no one would take Shanxi.
But she thought about the letter that Zhao Guanhou entrusted Ed to send to her, and this favor was to help no matter what. She smiled charmingly, "No, I mean make a show and scare people." As long as the old marshal makes this statement, I think the Jin Imperial Court will definitely seize the time to deal with Yuxian. And if the court can't protect the governor, the ministers below will be chilled, even if it is the prime minister of Zhang, he will not deal with you to the end in order to protect the interests of the court. In this way, the whole negotiation process and outcome will be beneficial to the coalition forces, and you will be able to complete your mission smoothly. ”
Wadsey was most interested in completing the task, and after listening to it, he couldn't stop nodding. But then he asked: "Baby, why did you suggest that I attack Shanxi?" ”
"Because I have a personal grudge with Yuxian, one of my relatives in Shandong was sentenced to death by him for a slight mistake. I've tried many ways to rescue them, but ...... But he was beheaded. My poor brother, who was sixteen years old at the time...... I don't want to influence the marshal's judgment for my own reasons...... Oh no...... I beg your pardon, I was a bit rude. ”
Sai Jinhua came as soon as she opened her mouth to lie, crying when she said she would cry, crying like a pear blossom with rain, as if she was telling the truth. Wadsey was also moved by her crying, and while holding her shoulders and soothing her with kind words, he picked up the marshal's scepter beside the bed with his hand and tapped it gently.
In a short time, the chief of staff, who lived next door, had already pushed the door in, and Wadsey ordered, "You go and arrange a meeting for me, I will meet King Qing." Also, inform our troops and prepare for a sortie. Sent a message to journalists from various countries that our great Prussian troops, in order to avenge the death of their compatriots, would attack Shanxi, destroy the boxers entrenched there, and capture Governor Yuxian alive. ”
Two days later, an urgent report from the National Affairs Department of the General Office and a newspaper that Prussia was about to send troops to attack Shanxi both appeared on Cixi's desk.
This newspaper is like adding a heavy weight to the scales, and Cixi knows that this time he must make a decision, and the idea of going to Shaanxi is afraid that it will not work. (To be continued.) )
