298 Octopus crashes into a mille-feuille net (Part II)

Three days later, in the Aoki Mansion, Keiko, who joined Zhao Guanhou's side as a victim, held a cigarette in her hand and leaned on the bed to spit out clouds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info On her face, there is a very clear slap print, and half of her face is a little swollen. She cursed hatefully

"Crazy! He's just a madman! Why should I put up with a madman for decades! The first time I saw a man who lost a gambling and was openly looking for Yoko to take money, I just walked past him and was slapped by him, I really can't imagine that I need to be around him for a long time. Director, I ask for a replacement and let me leave him. ”

"Your request has been denied, and compared to Yoko, I think you should review your own problems. If you mess everything up to your job without doing your job, even my niece won't have the slightest human affection. You should know that discipline in the institution. ”

Aoki Xuanjun was indifferent to his niece's complaints, and a cold sentence scared Keiko into words. Yoko gently plucked the shamisen, with a hint of a smile on her face, "Lieutenant Colonel, when you appeared, it happened that his cards were lost." The people of Jin are very superstitious, and naturally think that it is the bad luck you bring. ”

Seeing Yoko's appearance, Keiko was even more angry, and simply stopped talking, Aoki snorted coldly: "In the past few days, you have only one job, to please Zhao Guanhou." In the days to come, Yoko is alone, there is no way to do the smooth transmission of information, you have to play a role in assisting, whether you like it or not, you will have to live by his side for decades. So, learn to accept it, it's good for everyone. He asked Yoko again, "How far has the negotiation progressed on Tiele's side?" ”

"Your Excellency, Oleg, who is in charge of negotiations on the Tieler side, is as arrogant and stupid as ordinary Tielers. Today they gambled on the first floor and negotiated the hostage. The two talked for a while, but they couldn't get the point and couldn't continue. Zhao Guanhou resolutely demanded that Tiele release military discipline, and if he did not do this, he refused to continue the negotiation. ”

"As I analyzed, Zhao Guanhou has the general characteristics of people at the bottom of this society, who are chivalrous and do things according to their personal preferences, for them, emotions affect reason, rather than reason controls emotions. So they will lend a helping hand to the disasters they see, and ignore what they are out of sight. Such a person is very impulsive and easy to deal with, and in the days to come, as long as you envelop him with feelings, everything will not be difficult. As for Oleg, I think I'll come and meet him, just hold a negotiation in our mansion, and I'll personally come forward and make contact with him. ”

In the Tiele Legation, Oleg, who was nearly two meters tall and as burly as a door panel, sat in a Taipan chair and fell into deep thought. His size and appearance can easily give people the feeling of a brave man, but in fact, anyone who looks at him like this will eventually suffer a big loss and suffer enough for this man.

He is both Counsellor Gehrth and Alyosha's friend, but his most important identity is a senior spy of the Tieler Intelligence Agency, codenamed Black Fox. The focus of Tieler's intelligence work has always been on the Western Front, and the intelligence forces on the Eastern Front are weak and do not have much combat effectiveness. The reason why Oleg was sent here this time was of course because of the need to rebuild the intelligence network, and it was also hoped that he would give full play to his intelligence agent's expertise and find out the bottom line of Dakin's negotiations.

One or two of those prisoners of war did not deserve attention, but when hundreds of nobles and landlord families worked at the same time, a trend in St. Petersburg could not be ignored. Even the Minister of War has to think about how to ensure the safety of the hostages so that his subordinates can go home smoothly.

Yes, the burden on the black fox's shoulders this time is very heavy, not only to be busy with intelligence, but also to contribute to those nobles. If he can't save those people, these aristocratic families won't give up with him.

He sorted out the minutes of the meeting, thought back to the scene on the first floor, and shook his head, "Damn. It's a pity that I couldn't even find a single file, I couldn't find a reliable resume, I couldn't even find out the past of the commander who defeated our Cossacks. Is this the intelligence agency of the empire, or the military department of the Dajin Kingdom! ”

There was a knock on the door, and Gerth walked in from the outside, "Oleg, my old friend, I can feel your anger outside the two iron leli. Okay, listen to me, it's not a big deal, is it? It's just that the military attache of the Jin State, who was lucky enough to defeat our troops and captured some of our men, I believe, the Jin State did not have the guts to kill our warriors. ”

"No, Gers, I don't think it's that simple. I found that Zhao Guanhou and the people of the Aoki Mansion had an unusual relationship. The one who played cards with him today is Aoki Xuanjun's daughter, Yoko Aoki, who is in love with Zhao Guanhou. God forbid, Aoki's daughter married the military attache of the Kingdom of Kim, don't you feel anything? ”

Gerth lit the pipe in his hand and spat out the smoke ring, "Our Hefei Xiangguo, do you want to turn your back on the friendship with our country and turn to join Fuso?" If that were the case, I would make him understand what a terrible price it would take to turn his back on his friends. ”

This may not be what Hefei means, and even the parties themselves may not know what Aoki Mansion means. After all, in terms of intelligence warfare, Jin Guo is just a toddler child, and they still have a lot to learn. However, we must pay attention to this matter, at least not let it deteriorate, and if necessary, teach the Fuso people some lessons, let them know that they have violated the interests of the Tiele Empire. ”

Time, in the secret confrontation between the two intelligence agencies, passed quietly, and under the mediation of Aoki Nobujun, Tiele finally began to release military discipline. A meeting was held at the Aoki Mansion, and Mrs. Jenson, as a notary, signed an agreement for the two parties on the exchange of hostages.

In the bleak cold wind, hundreds of ragged and glazed women were pushed out of the military discipline camp. Behind them, the whistles of foreign soldiers and the strange laughter of ill-intentioned men, and in front of them, the streets were empty. Family members and relatives have been notified, but none of them really have the courage to pick up people. Most of them were pronounced dead by their families shortly after they were taken to the military discipline camp.

When they were hesitant and confused, not knowing where to go in the vast world, a carriage appeared. Yuqing jumped out of the car, gestured to them, and had a brief conversation, and soon after, the men followed her car to their temporary residence.

The women in the military discipline camp were rescued, and the country was obviously still a long way from being liberated. As far as the peace talks are concerned, Tieler still has no intention of backing down, and resolutely insists that the treaty cannot be changed. Not only that, but the agreement between heaven and earth is tighter, even if Zhang Tong is sick, Geers also visits three times a day to urge the use of seals. This also caused Zhang Tong's body to deteriorate day by day, and continued to weaken.

King Qing is sleek, not only to receive merit, but also to push through, try to pass the commission in the negotiation, and do not take responsibility. Naturally, the main force of the negotiation became Zhao Guanhou again. With the release of a large number of military discipline in Tiele, in the direction of Jinan, Tiele prisoners of war were also sent on trains and transported to the capital, and other countries gradually began the release of military discipline. Because of the facilitation of this matter, Aoki Xuanchun, who regarded himself as a hero, also began to ask for his reward at this time: it was time for Zhao Guanhou to hold a decent wedding for Yoko.

Keiko, who has recently arranged as a student, has no wedding treatment, but her crying and repeated persuasion by Yoko have also obtained the qualification to marry together.

The wedding was held at the Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane, and the invited guests were all dignitaries from Fusang. Yasumasa Fukushima and Shoutaro Komura will be invited to participate.

This wedding is not a big move in the concession, after all, Zhao Guanhou is a negotiator, and he is married to a Fusang woman, which seems to be a sign of further cooperation with Fusang in diplomacy. The first to show strong opposition was naturally Tieler's side.

Gers didn't even care about Zhang Tong's illness, so he went to Xianliang Temple with Li Nivich to force Zhang Tong to sign the Mukden Transfer Treaty. If he refuses, Tiele will no longer attend the next peace talks, and the negotiations with Jin Guo will be completely terminated.

Zhang Tong was forced to have no choice, so he had to meet the two of them, coughing, and helplessly distinguished, "Second Gong, it's not that I don't agree to your request, it's that I really can't help it." Now the imperial court is ...... about the negotiations. cough, they were all delegated to Zhao Guanhou. My body ...... You've all seen it, even if you want to be in charge, you can't do it. ”

"He has completely fallen to the side of Fuso, and as a friend, I am obliged to remind Your Excellency that your minister may have rebelled. He became a spy for the Fuso people, and Aoki Xuanjun himself may be a high-ranking spy for Fuso. I think he has been rebelled by Fusang and has become the spokesperson of the Fuso people. Negotiate with such people, we cannot agree. ”

"On this point, I will send a telegram to the imperial court, and if the imperial court removes him from his negotiating position, then we will talk again. As for Sheng Jing's side...... The imperial court will send another person to go, how to negotiate, it is a matter of negotiation between the two of you, and it is difficult for the old man to interfere. ”

He is experienced in Tai Chi Kung Fu in one hand, and the door is tightly sealed, and Bours is like fighting a magic weapon, and every time the Tiele people sacrifice a magic weapon, he must have a magic weapon to deal with. Even if he was weak, Bismarck in the East was still not to be underestimated. The two meetings were held until four o'clock in the afternoon, and Bols was still in vain, and Linivich said: "Your Excellency Zhang Tong, I hope you will remind your court that if the treaty cannot be negotiated for a long time, our country will reserve the right to use other means. ”

"If the general's words are spoken, the old decay must be brought to ...... Our country also has an attitude, peace is the most important thing in everything, but if one side is forced to force each other, then there are countries that agree here. However, the appeal should be just, and the countries should be invited to adjudicate it. ”

The two Tiele envoys brushed their sleeves away, Zhang Jingyuan hurriedly brought the decoction to his old father to take, Zhang Tong's old eyes showed a trace of essence, and muttered:

"The Tiele people have no heart, and today they actually want to threaten with military might. You were beaten so badly outside Xuanhua City, do you dare to use force? Although Shandong's Wuwei Right Army could not retreat from the coalition army, it was more than enough to deal with Tiele's division in Zhili, and he dared to use force, which was nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation. Guanhou's battle, the first is to beat our Chinese morale, and the second is to puncture Tieler's cowhide, his friends will be fewer and fewer, and there are not many people willing to help him, the so-called mobilization of troops is just a threat. Xiao Misan's methods scare me unstoppable. ”

Zhang Jingyuan was a little worried, "If he really colludes with Fusang, or is simply rebelled by Fusang, this will be a big disaster." I heard that he was going to marry that foreign woman, which must be guarded against. ”

Zhang Tong shook his head, "What the hell is this kid playing, I can't guess it, but it's not helping Sang after all." If the imperial court is not confused to the point of changing generals, then there is still something to be done in state affairs, and there is also salvation outside the customs. I just hope to see that major events are agreed upon, turning the crisis into safety, and living up to the grace of the two palaces. ”

The news that Zhao Guanhou married a Fusang girl as a concubine was reported by Beijing officials by telegram early in the morning, and sent a telegram to him. Because the cost of the telegram is too high, and the money is limited, he can only be concise and to the point, and it is difficult to quote the scriptures, and he will inevitably feel powerless to make a move. But the matter is this matter anyway, and after you want to come to the court to see it, there will be a decision.

As soon as the telegram arrived, it fell into the hands of Xiao Dezhang first, Li Lianying was old, and his body was no longer healthy. As soon as he saw the content, he was shocked, and hurriedly copied the bottom file, took a cold breath, and went to visit Yuan Weiting.

Although there is no contact between inside and outside, but now the two palaces are in Shandong, and daily use is indispensable to deal with local officials, and the rules of not making friends inside and outside can no longer be talked about. Xiao Dezhang and Yuan Weiting already got along very well, and they didn't need to pass it on, so they went straight to the signing room and put the draft of the telegram in front of Yuan Weiting

"Gong Bao, you have to think of a way, Brother Guanhou Xian is also young, when can't you play with foreign women, do you have to pick this time? Besides, if you have to get married, isn't this looking for your own death? How is this good? ”

Yuan Weiting looked at the draft of the telegram, laughed loudly, and ordered someone to bring tea to Xiao Dezhang. "Father-in-law Zhang, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Guanhou, he has such a friend as you, it is his creation."

"Gong Bao doesn't have to say that, we eunuchs want acquaintances easily, and we don't have many friends who really look up to us. When I was pregnant, I knew that he was a good friend who was righteous enough, and he had such a great contribution in Xuanhua, and I would lose the hearts of the people if I didn't protect such a person. But this matter, I want to protect, and it is not easy. Lafayette read the telegram there, and was afraid that he was going to call him back, and when he came back, he didn't know whether to take off the top or go to prison. A few days ago, when he sent a telegram, many people in the city scolded him for being a traitor and helping foreigners scare their own people. ”

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I can tell you the truth here, this matter will definitely not. That telegram was not from his original intention at all, and the two palaces also knew it in their hearts. ”

Xiaode Zhang was stunned, "Isn't it the original intention?" How do you say that? ”

Yuan Weiting said with a smile: "When the crown marquis entered Beijing, he once played Lafayette. The situation in the capital is complicated, and he has a heavy errand, so it is inevitable that someone will beat his idea. When the time comes, we will either intercept the telegram or spy on the contents, and we will suffer such a loss in Maguan. Therefore, he and Lafayette must have a set of grids, ordinary telegrams, and if you look at them in a frame, you will know what the secret writing in them is. If this kind of official telegram is not written, it is all fake and will not be accepted. Therefore, Lafayette would not even believe the telegram he sent on, and only people who did not know the truth would talk about that telegram. ”

Xiao Dezhang was relieved, "What about this Oriental girl?" ”

"This is another change in Beijing, and I am afraid that it has a lot to do with the signing of the collegiate agreement. He was using a ploy, but what he was going to do, I couldn't see it. Look at it, if you think about it around the New Year, there will be great changes in the capital, and maybe there will be hope for peace. ”

In the palace, Cixi also smiled, threw the electric fold on the official and threw it into the brazier in front of him. "Lian Ying, don't tell the emperor about this telegram, his brain can't turn around, and after listening to it, I'm afraid he will be even more angry. This monkey is not honest when he arrives in the capital, this is to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. ”

Li Lianying said with a smile: "Fortunately, he is thinking about the Buddha, and everything he does is for our big gold." A few days ago, I sent a batch of treasures from Beijing into the palace, all of which were treasures in our palace that we didn't have time to take. said that Sai Jinhua stole it from the palace and handed it over to him. If someone else got this thing, I am afraid that they would have deducted it themselves a long time ago, and they would never think of returning it to the court, this loyalty is indeed rare. ”

"yes, that's what I'm thinking. Zhang Hefei is a capable minister, but this time the negotiation was not done well, not only did the foreigners not retreat, but also involved the affairs outside the customs. Lao Qing, he is loyal, but he is like that in his ability, and he is selfish, he will definitely think about himself first and then the court when he has something. If the imperial court wants to do great things in the future, it can only use loyal ministers and good generals like this little monkey. But this time I don't understand what he's going to make trouble in the capital, I hope he doesn't make too much trouble, otherwise I won't be able to protect him. ”

"With Lafayette's care, he can do anything. According to the slave, what he wants to do should be a big thing, maybe this marriage is to connect with the Fusang people and use Fusang to contain other countries. We have to have a friend so that we can talk to foreigners. ”

That's right, the Tiele people can't be trusted, so they have to find a new friend. It's just that Fusang is not a Taixi power after all, and I don't know if I can join forces with them, and I can't rely on it. Don't borrow a wolf to drive away the tiger, because if the tiger is not driven away, the wolf will also have meat to eat, and that will be bad. And look at him, and then how to play tricks. ”

There is a rule in the capital that if you don't marry or hire, no one will get married at the end of the year. But Zhao Guanhou didn't even pay attention to Master Du's impeachment of him, let alone the rules of Sijiu City. Regardless of the season, he took Yoko and Keiko every day to go in and out of the embassy area, to various foreign banks, to sweep the goods at any cost, and successively borrowed 30,000 yuan from the Aoki Mansion, all of which were bought for the two women jewelry, jewelry, clothes, and fabrics, or they went to the casino to waste a lot of money.

The two women, on the other hand, showed the good character of a Fuso woman, and did not stop her husband's corrupt behavior, and everything was submissive. Including Keiko, who was forced at the beginning, has now become well-behaved and docile, let him do what he wants, and even when she is added by Zhao Guanhou's fists and feet, she will bear it silently, and then continue to serve.

Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, the three of them rolled together on the first floor, Zhao Guanhou hugged the two of them and kissed each other on the face, "I'm more curious, why don't we settle in the Liuguo Hotel, instead of the Sakura Hotel opened by your Fusang people, it is much smaller than the Liuguo Hotel." I've been there a few times in the past few days, and I don't think it's grand enough. Is it to save me money? There's no need at all, Yoko, your dowry is 300,000 yuan, and we will advance a part of the dowry, which will be enough to cover the expenses of the wedding. ”

"Sakura Hotel is our property in Fuso, and it is better at receiving guests from Fuso than Rokkoku Hotel. After all, no one wants the Tiele people to bother us with our wedding, right? ”

"Well, these damned Tiele people, I heard that some of them have secretly entered Beijing and want to trouble me. I'm not afraid of them, but you two have to be careful, those people are ruthless and can do anything. ”

Keiko said: "As long as we get married quickly and become your wife, we will not be afraid of anything, and you will protect us." As long as you are there, we are not afraid of anything. ”

Yoko smiled softly, "The wedding is attended by Commander Fukushima and Minister Komura, and there will be a lot of guards present, and those Tiele people have no chance to get close to us." After the wedding, we will live together, and the Fuso Empire will protect us. ”

"That's good, anyway, each of you should pay attention to safety, especially you two living babies, I don't want you to be bumped." As he spoke, he exerted his hands and feet on the two women, teasing the two women with red faces and red ears, and couldn't stop laughing.

As they were about to get married, the three could not spend the night outside, and as soon as three o'clock in the afternoon the two women left the first floor. Half an hour later, Zhao Guanhou also left from the first floor. Outside the window, the clouds are thick, the wind is howling, it is Laba, and another snowstorm is about to fall. (To be continued.) )
