For Han Rong's death, Zhao Guanhou was already mentally prepared, and at the Cixi birthday banquet, he was already on the verge of running out of oil. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It's no surprise that info is now dead. After Li Xiushan heard the news, he poured the brandy sent by Feng Xi into the cup, raised his head at Zhao Guanhou, and said, "Congratulations." ”

Cao Zhongkun hadn't turned the corner yet, and wondered: "The third child, this Han Zhongtang is dead, what are you doing to congratulate the fourth child?" It's not next to each other. ”

"Big brother, you're confused, why don't you stay next to each other. As soon as Han Zhongtang dies, who is in charge? Isn't it our fourth father-in-law? When the tide rises, the boat will rise, let's not get a governor this time? Speaking of which, it's also the fourth child, you are unlucky, if you divorce the Su family and marry Shigege directly, and now you are making a forehead openly, what kind of future is that. Besides, the Su family is a person who can't be born, and he should take a break if he is put in an ordinary person's house. Don't mention anything else, give birth to a fat girl for you first, maybe in a few years, I will give you a big fat boy, how can the Su family compare with others? ”

He didn't know that Feng Xi on the side was Su Hanzhi's personal girl, and he had no scruples about speaking, and Zhao Guanhou coughed twice before he could understand. looked at Feng Xi and shook his head again, "Afraid that she will pass on the word?" This girl is true to the master's mother, but she also has to be close to the master. Otherwise, there will be no time to raise Mrs. Cheng. She preaches it as she pleases, and I can stand anywhere in what I say. ”

"My third brother, you just hurry up and drink and say less." Zhao Guanhou waved his hand, sent Feng Xi out, and said: "This time in the middle hall, the court has to toss for a while." Qingdi comes up, it is indeed very good for our group. The palace guard has a better life. But Juren, I'm afraid it's too late to leave. Why do you have to explain a few words to Qingdi, and then go to Han Shuai's personal favor before leaving. ”

Li Xiushan said with a smile: "There is money outside the gate, and King Qing's eyes are probably red, and there are ghosts if he doesn't explain." This time, Lao Xu had better bring a rake, otherwise, I am afraid that he will not be able to fill the pit of King Qing. ”

Cao Zhongkun frowned and said: "Hundreds of thousands of horses from the Tiele people and Fusang people outside the Guan, you kill me, I will kill you, we can't even make a splash." Outside the customs, can it really be useful? ”

"Big brother, how can it be useless? Although the scales are small and weigh thousands of catties, thousands of people use them in the right place, and then they can turn things around. Zhao Guanhou smiled confidently, "The naval divisions of the two armies are fighting, and it is still very early to decide the victory." Now they both have to find reinforcements, and they are evenly matched with each other, and it is good to find a hundred more people. The Fusang people even have to be incorporated by the Red Beard, not to mention our regular army, when this force reaches the border, all parties will pay attention to it. It only depends on whether Hai Weng will arrange it, as long as it is arranged properly, the two powerful countries will have to look at our armed guards differently. ”

In the evening, Zhao Guanhou returned to the bedroom, and Sun Meiyao still put on the leather coat and leather pants, put on a cowboy hat and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for him. Seeing him pounce like a vicious tiger, Sun Meiyao obediently let him be affectionate, and said, "Boss, let me tell you, Feng Xi cried for a long time today." ”

"You can see it, I'm with my two brothers all day today, and this has nothing to do with me."

"I know, I didn't say it was you. I asked, she was crying for Sister Su, and said that you were going to divorce Sister Su. Let me tell you, there is such a good person as Sister Su in this family, and the house can be safe. If you divorce her, I'll go too, like that, don't try to ride my head and be a big woman. ”

"That's what the third brother said, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't say that, don't spread it."

In the dark, the movement gradually became smaller, and Sun Meiyao gasped: "You men, do you all mind whether women have children or not?" Li Xiushan's family, Sister Su took care of her very much, but she didn't give birth to her, and the surname Li asked you to divorce her. I don't want to have a child so early, do you want to divorce me? No, I'm a concubine, I don't need to take a break, just get out. ”

"Then I can't bear it. Such a good woman, how could I rush out. Just the pair of treasures on your chest, it makes me love it to death, how can I be willing to give it away. Besides, everyone is different and can't be generalized, and I really don't care about that. It's good to be alive, but it's not forced to be born, and if you want to stay in the army for a few more years, I don't blame you. Even if you don't give birth all the time, that's okay. ”

Sun Meiyao whispered: "I told you, you are not allowed to say it, I am afraid." My mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to me, and my father didn't protect the big one, so she went like that. When Shigege gave birth, I was also at home, listening to her call, my legs were scared and weak at that time, I was really afraid that Sister Su would also shout a word to protect the small or not the big, and she would also leave. I...... I'm scared ......."

The bandit leader, who has always been afraid of heaven and earth, and the master who even dares to kidnap foreigners, said that I was afraid at this time, and I was a little embarrassed, Zhao Guanhou smiled very considerately, "I understand." There's nothing to be ashamed of, if you're afraid, if you're afraid, if you're afraid, you won't live, I won't be embarrassed with you about this. If you want to give birth, just tell me, if you don't want to, just keep doing this, it's good. In the future, we will see who has more children, and when it comes to your name, there will be all of them. ”

Sun Meiyao was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "This time back to Guanwai, can you play with me for a few days?" It's just the two of us, and no one else bother. Just like you accompany Sister Su and accompany them in Shigege, I can't compare to Sister Su and your childhood sweetheart, nor can I compare to Shigege's golden branches and jade leaves, but I don't want to be a small forever. At least in the days outside the gates, you are the only one with me. If...... If I'm not afraid of any time, I'll be born for you. ”

The two hugged each other and slept on the floor, but Feng Xi, who was laying on the floor outside, listened to all the movements of the two of them, knowing that Zhao Guanhou had no intention of divorcing his wife, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then, I was sad, if every aunt and wife have children, what should Mrs. do?

Due to the negotiations in advance, the Fusang army knew that this was the fleet of Jin Bing, and did not stop it. Tieler's Vladivostok fleet did not dare to attack Albion's ships, so the operation of the Jin army was extremely smooth and undisturbed. After going ashore, Wang Wu had already brought a few disciples to wait here.

When the two met, Wang Wu pulled Zhao Guanhou to the side first, "I have learned a little about the situation outside this pass, and I have also made contact with a few old friends." By General Fengtian's side, there is a master who knows me well and can win him over. ”

"Fifth master, then I want to thank you very much, it is really the means of the famous heroes in the capital, and as soon as he arrived outside the gate, he made a great contribution."

Wang Wu shook his head, "You don't have to thank me, I am also a citizen of Dajin, and I can't watch foreigners show off their power in my own land." The two countries are at war, but they are harming the third country, how can there be such a reason in this world. The Tiele people are bad, and the Fusang people are not things, as for the court, in the court, listen to people's disputes, what kind of court is this! ”

As he spoke, he took out a few banknotes made of horse dung paper with extremely rough workmanship from his bosom, "You see, these are the bills issued by the Tiele people, and the common people call them Qiang bills. This is a ticket issued by the Fuso people, and the common people call it a hand ticket. You see, what is the difference between them. ”

Zhao Guanhou took it and looked at it a few times, "The banknotes of these two countries were printed by the same group, right?" From workmanship to paper, it is almost the same, the same rotten, a little effort, it can be broken. ”

"That's it! Just this kind of straw paper is not as good as the ticket, it has to be exchanged for real money and silver in the hands of the people, and all of them have to be exchanged for these things, which is similar to grabbing it. The government cannot intervene, the people can only listen to their flesh, and the most hateful, foreigners also hunt and kill our officials and people at will under the pretext of espionage. If I hadn't joined the army, I really wanted to kill him with one horse and one sword, and kill a few foreigners to get angry. ”

"Fifth master, are you afraid that you won't have time to kill foreigners? There are opportunities to kill, so don't rush now. Let's do it first. He was a general of Shengjing, and he had the responsibility to defend the territory, but as a result, not only could he not keep the territory, but he also signed a temporary charter with the foreigners, which was intolerable. ”

Wang Wudao: "Speaking of this, it's another case." His staff owed me a personal favor at the beginning, so I asked him about it and knew everything. At the beginning of Zeng, he signed a charter with foreigners, which can be said to be helpless, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and I can't help myself. But since he heard that the imperial court was going to abolish the generals outside the customs and set up the governor Sanfu, his mind changed, and he wanted to ******** and colluded with the Tiele people. If you want Tiele to exert pressure on the imperial court, you must not set up a governor outside the pass, and still retain the original general system. ”

"And such a thing? This is another sin, this time let's settle accounts with him first. Where is this man now? ”

"Xinmin House. Fengtian is now occupied by the Tiele people, who built fortifications in Liaoyang, arranged a defensive line, and fought a big battle with the Fusang people. However, I didn't understand that Tiele had a large number of soldiers, but instead took a defensive position, and Fusang had few soldiers, but took an offensive instead, which is really incomprehensible. Anyway, it was also a war zone, and he didn't dare to go, so he didn't dare to go to Xinmin, and several big seals were in his hands, including the Taimiao Book Treasure in Fengtianxing Palace, which was also in his hands. A small team around him is equipped with foreign guns, probably to prevent the court from taking him. According to the staff, if he is forced to be in a hurry, he may want to run to Mukden first, and the Tiele people will protect him and set up one province and two governments. The governor of the imperial court did not admit it, and the imperial court could not do it if it wanted to grasp it. ”

Zhao Guanhou also knew that this was the last step that Zeng Qi could take, and if he really reached that step, the court would not let him go in the future. When the Taiping Army was in trouble, He Genyun ran to the Songjiang Concession and couldn't come out, and finally killed his head. So he didn't dare to really flee to Mukden easily, but anyway, if he had this idea, he had to take precautions / Once it really became one province and two governments, it was really not easy to do.

He asked, "What about the rest of the world?" ”

Wang Wu shook his head and said, "But it's far less than when I was a bodyguard." When I walked outside the customs at that time, although there were also red-bearded horses, everyone still talked about a rule, and there was still a reason to talk about on the rivers and lakes. Now everyone is in danger, Cui Fu is everywhere, the rivers and lakes are in chaos, the old rules are always exquisite, and I can't eat it. Redbeards swarm up everywhere, and there are many people who don't pay attention to the old rules of the rivers and lakes, and they can do whatever they want, and they all lose the morality of the green forest. Redbeard gathered all the people and dared to attack the county seat and the prefecture, and the common people naturally did not have a problem. The big families in the countryside could only raise the wall, buy guns from the Tiele people with grain, and hire a few gunmen with excellent marksmanship as guards. It's not just to pull people to set up a large group and an insurance team. Along the way, I had several big families offer me to be a bodyguard or an instructor in the insurance team. In addition to the beards, there are also the flower team that contributed to the Tiele people and the Fuso people, as well as the local insurance team, these people are mixed, and in fact, most of them are beards. These people made a big mess in the world, and in the end it was the common people who were unlucky. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said: "It seems that the people are indeed very bitter, since we are officials and soldiers, we have to take care of it, and we can't let the beard be so lawless." Taking advantage of Lao Xu's not coming, let's be here first and set off a cannon, what does the fifth master think? ”

Wang Wuyi was stunned, "Guanhou, you mean?" ”

"Fifth Master, when you were in the capital, you were annoyed that I didn't help Tan Ye, you had a pimple in your heart. Even if I help you get a pimple today, I will return the party to peace first. My army is here, and the beard will not dare to come. Besides, there are rules for the actions of the army, you can't leave if you want to, you can stay if you want to. The brigade is still marching towards Xinmin, and I will leave a group of men and horses around here to suppress the redbeard and flower-bearded teams in this vicinity. ”

Wang Wuxi "Okay, this is a great thing to protect the territory and the people, I am here to represent the people here, thank you for your feat." The port is guarded here, there are ships coming and going, and merchants from all over the world gather, and the beard easily does not dare to fight here. But life in the countryside is not easy, if you can help them, the people here must thank you. ”

After the army disembarked, the people of the local chamber of commerce first contacted Zhao Guanhou and said that they wanted to make up some silver taels. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guanhou refused, but invited Dong Jun up and asked him to discuss with the businessmen about purchasing materials.

The task of the grain station is very heavy, except for going into battle to kill the enemy, other affairs are basically to be worried about the grain station. From military supplies to soldiers' wounded medicine, they all had to be procured by the grain station. Before leaving, Dong Jun's procurement work had been done very comprehensively, and he had cotton clothes, food, and medicines prepared by Mrs. Jenson. This force will not have any supply problems in a month or two. But Dong Jun knew that this was Zhao Guanhou who wanted to set off a cannon and play a brand for the right army of Wuwei. Therefore, he asked for a lot of things, from white rice and pigs to red wound herbs.

Several businessmen were a little embarrassed when they saw this big order, but Dong Jun immediately said: "Our army has come from afar, and we will stay here for a short time, and I hope you will take a lot of trouble and speed up the procurement." We floated out of 30% just to expedite it. I'll have the money come in. ”

As soon as he gave the order, some of the masters of the right army began to come in with one silver box after another, and lined up in the hall, and when the boxes were opened, a ingot of silver with a foot color pattern was exposed, and at least 20,000 silver were placed in the hall. When a few businessmen saw the money, their faces immediately looked good. There are many times when I deal with the officials and soldiers, but there are few opportunities to see cash.

Zhao Guanhou said again: "I put this here, if anyone from my armed guard army violates military discipline and intrudes on the place, you can just come to me to complain." From the generals in the army to the ordinary soldiers, as long as they violate military discipline, they will not be spared, and there will be no leniency! ”

As soon as these merchants left the parlor, they spread the news, and within half a day, the merchants in the whole city knew that the soldiers who came from Shandong this time did not rob or rob, did not offend women, and were a great customer who could cooperate. The grain table brought a large amount of silver, and all the things purchased were money before goods, and the price was also very easy to say. The market, which had fallen into depression because of the war, was injected with a shot in the arm, and the merchants were boiling.

At the same time, the eyes and ears of the Green Forest people in the city also reported the news to their leaders. The ringing horses outside the gates, which were active because of the war, also began to set their eyes on this piece of fat. (To be continued.) )
