Chapter 288: Gaining Momentum and Fame (I)

Su Wangfu was razed to the ground in the previous boxing chaos, and now he can only temporarily live in Qingwangfu, Shanqi is witty, and in the capital relatives, he belongs to the part of the people who are better. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he is also skinny, can act and sing, and the famous Xian Zhen Uncle among the ticket friends in Sijiu City is a good pair. It is said that he is a fan of drama, but today, his spirit is not in the drama.

He and Zhao Guanhou are also very familiar faces on the road, and they speak more openly, without so many worries

"Naniwa Kawashima is a strange man. This time, when I returned to Beijing from my trip, what I saw and heard can only be described in four words, which is miserable. All the palaces in the capital, except for Qingdi, the other mansions are basically inhabited by foreign soldiers. There are also the Summer Palace and Jingshan, which have been harmed by foreigners. Prince Yi was whipped to death for foreigners, and the prince was also humiliated, which was a shame for his ancestors. I thought to myself at the time, ancestors bless, the Forbidden City must not also enter the foreign soldiers. As a result, guess what, when I went outside the Forbidden City, I saw that it was Fusang soldiers standing guard, and three-foot boys were not allowed to enter. The Fuso people have strict military discipline and do not offend their internal dependents, which is really an example for all armies. In addition, the patrol system implemented in the occupied areas of Fuso is much more advanced than that of our Daikin armor protection, and people say that the great powers are the great powers, but when they see them today, they know what the means of the great powers are. ”

He took a sip of wine, and peeked at King Qing's spirit to listen to the play, so he whispered: "This time, half of our Dajin was defeated and suffered, and half of it was self-inflicted." If it weren't for listening to King Duan's nonsense, believing in the Flying Tigers who pretended to be gods and ghosts, and declaring war with other countries, why would we have been beaten like this by foreigners. It's useless to say anything, but if you can wake up and work hard because of this, it will be a blessing for the country. If you want to work hard and revitalize the country, you have to have talents, and this Kawashima Naniwa is a great talent. ”

Cheng Zhen also said: "Shanyi's words are right, I have also seen him, this person is a Chinese expert, the official words are very authentic, if it were not for him himself to admit that he is an Oriental, everyone would think that he is a Chinese." He's a good friend and very capable. When Shanyi left Beijing, Lao Fujin and Shanji were both in Beijing, and Kawashima took Fuso soldiers to protect Sudi's family and family, and they were not frightened, which was a big favor. ”

Not only that, but he had a teacher-student friendship with Fukushima Yasumasa, the commander of Fuso, and also had some friendship with Komura Shoutaro, the minister of Fuso. With him stepping forward and turning the circle on his behalf, I think we can open a gap from the Fuso people and let the foreigners reach a peace agreement as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded and looked at Cheng Zhen, "Brother Zhen, since you have this kind of relationship, why don't you tell your father-in-law?" Wouldn't it be nice to let old Tarzan meet this Kawashima? ”

Cheng Zhen shook his head, "Amana's people are not easy to take care of, especially now that there is Zhang Shaoquan, he will not rush forward." This kind of thing can be retreated, and it will not take the initiative to take care of it. Besides, he has no contact with Kawashima, an Oriental ronin, he can't let the prince hand him over, right? I mentioned it to Amma once, but Amma wasn't interested. Behold, this merit can only be given by you, and now you speak to Amma more than I do. Talking to Kawashima and settling this matter sooner is also a credit, isn't it? ”

After the end of the play, Zhao Guanhou rested in Yuqing's room, and when he mentioned Kawashima Nanisu, Yuqing snorted, "Don't run blindly with Cheng Zhen." He can do anything serious, but he just uses you as a pretext to run to the Fusang Pavilion. I heard that when he met with the Fusang people, he went there to fool around, and the Bangsang women don't know how dirty they are, so you are not allowed to touch them. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled and kissed her on the face, "Vinegar jar Gege, I will repay you with all my strength, and you should rest assured." Kawashima is a person, I have to meet him, otherwise Zenichi won't look good on his face, as for what to do, I have a sense of proportion. I have to do this tomorrow, so I'll take my leave from you today. ”

Yuqing knew that he was going to do the right thing, and it was not easy to stop him, so he just bit him on the shoulder with his teeth, "If you dare to bring an Oriental woman back, I will live in my mother's house and not leave." ”

At dawn the next day, Zhao Guanhou did not go on an errand with King Qing, because Zhang Tong was ill, and diplomatic negotiations were temporarily suspended. What's more, it doesn't make much sense for him to visit anyone now, and he still has to straighten out the personnel relationship before he can do things. I asked for a carriage from the palace and went straight to the Shanxi Hall in the city.

This hall was not occupied by foreigners, but not far away, there were foreign soldiers patrolling, and Zhao Guanhou had a special pass, which was unimpeded. Siheng's Dong Jun and dozens of buddy shopkeepers are now living in the hall.

When the two meet, it's like a world apart. The four great Hengs who used to be famous in Beijing are now only a few dozen people left. Everyone has filial piety on their heads, obviously mourning for their old club. The ashes of the old owner and the deity could not enter the hall and were stored in the temple, so there was no way to incense, so I had to say a few words of comfort. Dong Jun didn't know that Zhao Guanhou had stolen his mother-in-law, and he was extremely moved by his personal visit.

After the foreign soldiers entered the city, they plundered all the businesses in the city, such as ticket numbers, money shops, and pawnshops. The silver in the Siheng treasury was robbed, and the furnace room was burned. Looking back, Dong Jun only felt a chill behind him, if Zhao Guanhou hadn't withdrawn all of Siheng's important bills and some of the cash, Siheng would have collapsed after this blow. Not to mention that foreign soldiers go around arresting women as military discipline, if their daughters are not protected by Zhao Guanhou's army, most of them will be victimized, and they regard him as a benefactor in their hearts.

After the two sat down, Zhao Guanhou took out Aunt Jin's letter, handed it to Dong Jun, and asked about the situation. Dong Jun shook his head and said: "It's very difficult, Jingguan comes back from outside, holding Siheng's ticket in his hand, and if he can't redeem the money, he may make trouble." Thanks to the cooperation with Warby Bank, it was explained to them that they could be cashed in Jinmen. These talents did not make trouble, and Siheng's reputation was maintained. To keep Siheng this time, we must all be grateful for the kindness of adults. ”

"Brother Dong, everyone is your own person, don't say such things. If you have any difficulties here, if so, just say. There is a relationship between Qingdi and Zhang Juexiang, and it can always be done. Siheng's semicolon in Shandong is doing a good job, and the children are also very good. If you have the opportunity, please go to Shandong to have a look, and the family will be at ease when they meet. What is the situation in Kyosato? Please tell me about it, this time I came back to make negotiations, the scene in Beijing is already different, and I also need to have some understanding before I can do things. ”

Although it is inconvenient for a big businessman like Dong Jun for a while, he still has a very high status in the guild hall, and he will not be embarrassed in life, but there is no difficulty. But with this sentence, it makes people feel really comfortable, Dong Jun himself was afraid that he couldn't say it clearly, so he asked the steward to invite two Beijing officials from Shanxi to introduce the situation in Beijing.

These two Beijing officials naturally cared about their hometown, and after meeting, they asked Shanxi first, and after hearing Zhao Guanhou's introduction, they finally let out a sigh. As for the fact that foreigners want to attack Shanxi, these people are all clear. At that time, I was most afraid that the foreign soldiers really entered Shanxi and harmed Sangzi. I am also afraid that the line is located in Shanxi, and the hometown of Ding Gong will suffer.

When he learned that Yuxian committed suicide, Zhao Guanhou broke the foreign soldiers in Xuanhua, which made the Tiele people fearful, and Lafayette visited Shandong, and everyone's hearts were relieved. These officials have a very good opinion of Zhao Guanhou, and they know everything when they talk about the situation in Beijing.

After a chaotic period of Allied troops entering the city, the law and order situation in the capital had improved slightly, and Sekinhua exerted influence in front of Wadsey, causing Prussia to send a military police. Before that, the gendarmerie in Fuso also began to operate, and although their main targets were the Tiele people, no matter what, when the gendarmes appeared, the order was always better than at the beginning.

On the other hand, it was also the coalition forces that also entered a period of exhaustion after the frenzied robbery. The things that could be robbed were almost robbed, and even the looting of Beizhili had entered the stage of stopping.

Originally, the coalition forces still had a plan to attack Baoding, but first, Baoding itself exterminated the Flying Tiger Regiment, and second, the news that the Wuwei Right Army was stationed in Baoding also made the coalition forces have to consider the gains and losses. No country is willing to follow in the footsteps of the Cossack cavalry and bury its own strength and reputation under the city of Baoding.

The preservation of the essence of northern China will naturally be of great benefit to the economy of the Jin Kingdom from a long-term perspective, and from the current situation, the gradual convergence of foreigners will also allow the people of the capital to breathe a sigh of relief. The new order built by the coalition forces was gradually implemented by iron-blooded means, such as the open and small solutions that were common in the past, but now they are rare, because the Prussians may shoot at people because of this.

Zhao Guanhou listened to them one by one, and sent two copies of Shandong's native silver to the two Beijing officials as a thank you, and when the answer was correct, Dong Jun said: "Lord Zhao, I should not ask a businessman about the negotiation. I just want to say that if the conditions of the foreigners are not too excessive, it is better to sign as soon as possible. The fathers and elders of the capital are very bitter, and the sooner the truce, everyone will get out of the sea of bitterness as soon as possible. ”

"I know, I'll figure it out. Brother Dong, I'm here today to talk to you about business. I can get you a special pass, and you can go to Jinmen to get Mrs. Jenson a sum of money and partner in this business. Acquisition of property in Kyori, groceries. ”

"This business, I heard that someone in Beijing is doing it, and it seems that Uncle Zhen is an expert."

"Those foreign devils robbed us of the things of the Golden Kingdom, and the gold and silver were brought back with them, but some calligraphy and paintings and other things, the big people may not understand the value, let alone the small people. A group of big-headed soldiers, it is useless to bring calligraphy and paintings home, and most of them will be sold in Beijing. These things are not sold by laymen, this is an opportunity to buy the bottom, and if you don't buy it, you won't buy it for nothing. Uncle Zhen is certainly buying, we shouldn't be left behind, he can't eat anything in the capital alone. Also, there is the property. Many houses in Beijing have now become ownerless houses, you take some money, and I will ask the yamen to help you get the title deed. Even if the owner gets it back in the future, there is still a lawsuit to fight, Siheng has suffered a loss this time, and you have to make up for it. ”

Dong Jun knew that this was taking care of his own business, and it was also Zhao Guanhou's release of goodwill. These two businesses, in the final analysis, need a way, otherwise there is no way to do it. Although Siheng was robbed, with the relationship that Siheng has established in the mall over the years, some money can still be raised, and he went to Jinmen to invite Jensen, thinking that he would also use this matter to pass on his message, so that Jane Sen could enter Beijing and assist in mediation.

He arched his hand, "Lord Zhao, thank you for your great kindness." I have already seen what is on the letter, and in two days I will write a letter to my family. The newly established Siheng is headquartered in Shandong. As for the capital, it was changed to a component number. In the future, Lord Zhao will take care of it more. ”

"One family, don't talk to two families." When Zhao Guanhou said this, he couldn't help but think of Aunt Jin's white body, and smiled even more, "Shaodong, Dongdan's Oriental Luozi Pavilion, have you heard anyone mention it?" ”

Dong Jun smiled awkwardly, "The adult said it was funny." Dong is in mourning, how can he go to that kind of place. ”

"No, don't get me wrong, I'm asking if you know that. Because I'm going to meet a friend there today, and I want to know a thing or two first. ”

Dong Jun said with a straight face: "That place is very red. They were all opened in Beijing after foreigners came. It is very different from our Qingyin small class, but unfortunately they should not be ticketed if they don't come out first, and second, they don't stay overnight. Those who go there are not only embassy personnel from various countries, but also expatriates, occasionally Chinese people, and also people in the officialdom. We merchants, they don't accept them. I heard that there are Fusang ronins as bodyguards, which are very vicious, and few people from the Jin Kingdom dare to go. ”

"Are the Tiele people going?"

"I heard that I went. There are people from all over the country there, but the Tiele people and the Oriental people have always been at odds, and I heard that there were several fights there. Now that Tiele's soldiers have withdrawn to Jinmen, there are far fewer fights. It's just a pity that we, the women of the Jin Kingdom, were caught by foreigners and taken to the barracks as military discipliners, and many of them are daughters of good families. From morning to night, it is unspeakably tainted by foreigners, my lord, if it can be done, can you think of a way for them. I heard that the champion lady has a relationship with you, she can speak in front of Wadsey, if she is willing to speak, maybe these women can be saved. ”

Zhao Guanhou thought for a moment, "I do my best, I don't have much confidence in this kind of thing." You can only do your best. Second Sister Sai, I'll discuss it, and as for whether I can see it, I can't say. If I can save it, I am naturally duty-bound. ”

Out of the Shanxi Hall, Zhao Guanhou led the horse, and saw that there were few pedestrians on the street. Approaching the end of the year, it is said to be the busiest time, but the streets are deserted, and there are not many shops for business. Occasionally, when I saw pedestrians, I also wrapped myself tightly in a torn cotton jacket, covered my face with a felt hat, and walked with my head down. The rule of speaking after meeting in Sijiucheng is gone, and the other side does not dare to talk, let alone say a word. Only the foreign soldiers with rifles walked around, swaggering.

He came all the way to Dongjiaomin Lane, where there were still barricades at several entrances, and there were foreign soldiers with guns nearby. In the past, it was free to come and go, but now the Chinese are expelled as soon as they come close, and you can't negotiate unless you can speak Fuso. More of them were Tessiers, coming and going, men in leather coats, holding Stinks in their hands, and noble ladies in fur furs, coming and going, looking forward to self-pride, with the arrogance of a victor. Some foreign women are still wearing flag costumes, and I don't know where they come from.

Seeing Zhao Guanhou wearing a Jin State official uniform, many foreigners pointed and laughed from a distance, obviously looking down on him. Others set up cameras to take pictures of them. Just as Zhao Guanhou was about to leave, a man in a coat suddenly walked out quickly, shaking his arm as he walked, "Lord Zhao?" You must be Lord Zhao! Mrs. Jensen said you would give me an interview. (To be continued.) )
