When people are old, they are most likely to forget. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Cixi completely forgot that he had taken care of the Liaodong Army a few months ago at the instigation of his minister.

Li Lianying on the side, because she received the money from the Liaodong Army, she didn't want to say much at this time, and directly complimented: "It's still Lafayette, you think thoughtfully!" The slave is sure that after Yang Xingguo receives your congratulatory gift from Lafayette, he will definitely be grateful to Lafayette. ”

Cixi's face was immediately covered with a smile, and she said to Li Lianying: "It's best to be like this!" ”

As soon as she said this, the smile on Cixi's face disappeared and was covered with seriousness. continued to Li Lianying.

"Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army, the mourning family has never seen it, but he surprises the mourning family from time to time, and the mourning family rewards him and he deserves it. It's just that in the court, the mourning family has only been in court for a few days, and some people have begun to ignore the mourning family. ”

"Locked up in the Liaodong Army to eliminate tens of thousands of Japanese-Russian coalition troops, such a big thing, no one came to tell the mourning family!"

Speaking of this, Cixi's eyes quickly shot out two sharp rays.

Li Lianying was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the old man next to her was dissatisfied with some people in the imperial court. One is not good, this old man will set off a bloody storm in the imperial court.

For these, Yang Xingguo, who is far away in Liaodong, doesn't care much about it.

However, for Yang Xingguo, whether the court is chaotic or not still has a certain impact on him.

If the court is not chaotic, there will be people who will pay attention to themselves. Yuan Shikai, who is hostile to himself in the court, will definitely do everything possible to put on small shoes for himself in the court, and if it is not good, he may push himself to the opposite side of the court.

The court is in turmoil, and the thoughts of all the civil and military officials in the court are how to keep their official positions, or how to take advantage of this chaos to make themselves go further.

At that time, no one in the court will pay attention to him.

Just relying on Yuan Shikai to jump up and down in the court alone, he definitely can't help himself.

Therefore, Cixi's anger invisibly helped the Liaodong Army and gave the Liaodong Army a longer time for stable development.

At this moment, Yang Xingguo, who was far away in Liaozhong, was preparing for the big wedding.

As the biggest happy event since the establishment of the Liaodong Army, whether it is Yang Xingguo himself or Zhou Zhongju, they all want to make it lively.

If this is not the case, Yang Xingguo still wants to let the tens of thousands of troops under his command relax through this big wedding.

For Yang Xingguo, who came from later generations, his wedding is undoubtedly the best opportunity for his subordinates to give gifts.

In order to put an end to this kind of thing, Yang Xingguo specifically requested that those who came to attend his wedding could only come and could not bring any gifts and gifts.

Of course, it is impossible for all the 70,000 or 80,000 people of the Liaodong Army to come to participate in the wedding, so in order to make the Liaodong Army feel this kind of joy, Yang Xingguo privately took out 100,000 taels of silver. First give each person in the Liaodong Army a tael of silver silver, and save all the money to buy meat and wine, so that the Liaodong Army can also have a sumptuous wedding feast.

However, what Yang Xingguo didn't expect was that the expected big wedding actually caused an uproar on the wedding battlefield.

On the day of the wedding, as long as the officers at or above the regimental level who did not have any tasks in the Liaodong Army came, plus more than 10 civilian officials at or above the county magistrate level, the Liaodong Army itself sat at more than 20 tables.

And that's just the beginning.

A few months ago, the businessmen who came to Liaodong from Wuchang with the dream of making a fortune also came, and everyone brought a lot of generous gifts.

Yang Xingguo's order not to accept gifts for his big wedding must be carried out by the Liaodong Army. But for these merchants, it can be executed or not.

Although they have only been in Liaodong for a few months, they have already earned a lot of information in the past few months.

In particular, several major grain merchants, each of which earned a dozen to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, can be said to have gained a lot.

After getting the news that Yang Xingguo was going to get married, these people directly decided to visit with a generous gift as soon as they discussed it, expressing their gratitude.

When Yang Xingguo got the report and came to the door, a group of businessmen carrying gifts were arguing with the guards at the door.

The guards did not allow them to bring gifts in, but the merchants insisted on bringing them in.

Seeing that dozens of businessmen were all resolute, in order to avoid chaos, Yang Xingguo could only agree to accept the congratulatory gift.

And that's just the beginning.

As soon as dozens of merchants walked in with satisfied smiles, two carriages full of boxes stopped at the door.

Then I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman walking towards the door.

As soon as the guard stopped between the two, the middle-aged man said in a male duck's voice.

"Lord Yang, the Queen Mother Lafayette was very happy when she learned the news of your wedding, and specially ordered me to rush over with these congratulatory gifts to congratulate me, please Lord Yang accept these congratulatory gifts, there are two pairs of jade Ruyi, and ...... pearls."

The congratulatory gifts of the merchants under his rule were all received, not to mention those sent by Cixi.

Yang Xingguo didn't think about it, so he asked people to give the congratulatory gift next.

As soon as Cixi's carriage to deliver congratulatory gifts left, another carriage appeared!

"The cabinet minister congratulates Lord Yang on his wedding and sends a ......"

It turned out that as soon as the news of Cixi's congratulatory gift to Yang Xingguo's big wedding came out of the palace, those civil and military officials who watched Cixi's sycophants come up step by step immediately followed to send congratulatory gifts to Yang Xingguo, fearing that they would be one step late and cause Cixi's dissatisfaction

In the face of dozens of congratulatory gifts sent to him by civil and military officials who did not know him at all.

Yang Xingguo, who had the idea of not wanting to be in vain, didn't even hesitate, and directly accepted the congratulatory gift.

Not only the important ministers of the imperial court, but even the Empress Dowager Lafayette gave gifts to Yang Xingguo from thousands of miles away, which shows how high the status of the Liaodong Army in the imperial court is.

Some of the businessmen who were watching next to them, after listening to the guards report the list of gifts and the people who gave them, they had a new understanding of the strength of Yang Xingguo and the entire Liaodong Army.

Since the court attaches so much importance to the Liaodong Army, it will definitely not suffer a loss if you follow the Liaodong Army.

At this time, many businessmen who saw this scene had already begun to think about whether to persuade their families to further increase investment in the areas controlled by the Liaodong Army after returning home.

After all, the bigger the investment, the greater the return, especially in the first place.

After accepting all the congratulatory gifts sent by the important ministers of the imperial court, Yang Xingguo, who had been busy for more than half an hour, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I thought that the wedding would end here.

But just as he turned around, several large carts came over.

"Lord Zhang, the governor of the two lakes, sent someone to congratulate him, and he gave a congratulatory gift of five thousand taels of silver!"

When it was over, another convoy came, and this convoy consisted of five grain carts, and each cart was full of boxes.

Of course, that's not the most noticeable.

The most surprising thing was that the more than a dozen people escorting around these carts turned out to be all Japanese wearing samurai uniforms. (To be continued.) )
