In Zhao's house, the jade beauty applied ointment to her face, but it would not leave any injuries, and the girl hugged the package tightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere is not only Yu Meiren's private money, but also a check for 150,000 yuan issued by Zhao Guanhou. Three special passes, placed in front of the Jade Beauty.

"With these three documents, you can take the boat of the Fusang people to Jinmen, and when you get there, you can get on the train to Shandong. I'll send a few more people to protect you, and there won't be any mistakes on the way. ”

Jade Beauty stretched out her onion-like jade fingers and pushed one of the special passes back, "No need, two are enough." I broke up with Shaodong of Sihailou. ”

"Divided?"

"No, he listened to the movements of the two of us, and he had bones in his heart, and it would be boring to live this life. I was originally born in Pingkang, and I stole him when I followed him, why did I have to guard the chastity archway for him after following him? What is there about him that deserves me to defend him? I can't even bear this little thing, and it won't be long in the future, so it's a good thing to divide it now, so as to save me from hurting my face in the future. I have a net worth of more than 200,000 yuan, and I'm afraid I won't find a master? ”

She glanced at Zhao Guanhou with a smile, and deliberately showed her snow-white neck, "The three treasures of Zengruitang are all in your hands now." Why, don't you want to keep all the three treasures by your side and play with them every day? ”

"If people want to cherish their blessings and stay by their side, they will be blessed. Why don't you stay, and I'll sell the bong? ”

Yu Meiren smiled, "You can keep the cigarette gun quickly, it is also a good gift to give it away, at the moment, the soldiers outside the gate are not peaceful, you are good, quickly help me find a boat to send me to Jinmen, let me hide from this is a good place." I couldn't stand the pain, and I couldn't bear the shock, so I let the fourth aunt smash a shot, and it still hurts. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "It's very easy, I'll arrange it when I go back, and within two or three days, there will be a reply." I'll write you a letter, you go to Jinan to get it to Siheng's brocade shopkeeper, or my wife, they will take care of you. ”

Sent away the jade beauty, Sun Meiyao came in with the red gold smoking gun, looked at the back of the master and servant and said, "The master, what do you think of the third aunt and Xia Manjiang Xia?" ”

"That's their business, I don't care, I don't care about matchmaking, it's not an excellent friendship, it's not a very familiar person, I don't have this friendship with them. Whether the two can succeed in the future is fate. Don't mention them, let's say, how about the money? ”

Sun Meiyao led people to do it, only looking for cash to start, and rolled up about two million yuan of gold back, which had been handed over to Dong Jun at this time. With this gold, the military rations that went out of the customs this time can basically be dealt with. Sun Meiyao said again: "This old Xu is really picky, only 100,000 yuan is rewarded, and you give 150,000 yuan to Yumei." The people below are scolding, saying that he is too much of a thing. ”

"Compared with the gang of people outside who ask for food, the reward of 100,000 yuan is already a lot, and 20 yuan per person. He is such a human being, and I have been prepared for a long time, so let you take it first, and expect to give it from him, and this is the end. Readers, that's it. Zhao Guanhou snorted, "Mr. Xia was on fire in his heart, but when he encountered a basin of cold water, Xu Juren would not use him, and he disliked him for betraying the proprietor, which is analogous to Lu." This person, Lao Xu doesn't need it, I want to use it. In my hometown, I have a second brother and two sisters-in-law to help us manage the grain table, and it is quite suitable to use him here. ”

Xia Manjiang can make money for Zengqi, his ability to account is very strong, and more importantly, his connections are wide enough. In the original yamen of the three eastern provinces, he has more or less connections, and with his connections, it is enough to save himself a lot of effort in the future.

Originally, Xia Manjiang wanted to defect to the new governor and continue to be a friend of the governor, but he didn't want Xu Juren to refuse to use it and protect him, which made him very disappointed. Wang Wu already had a friendship with him, and at this time, Wang Wu came forward to contact, and Zhao Guanhou allowed him to give him a secret background, and Xia Manjiang had nothing to do.

One can avenge the confidante, and the other is that Zhao Guanhou's father-in-law is the king of Shuqing, and when this happens, the future is secretly protected, Xia Manjiang calculates that at least a prefect can be released, which is also the future that fell from the sky, and he is doing it with his heart. Shaoxing masters are flying all over the sky, and there are contacts between Shaoxing masters all over the country, and he has relationships in the yamen of Hei and Ji provinces. For example, although there is no such private collection, all governments have the habit of keeping small treasuries.

As soon as the Tiele people came, everything was chaotic, and many small vaults disappeared, and there was no way to find them. According to him, as long as he can promise some benefits to the master, and then ensure a future, it is not difficult for some masters to betray the owner and offer the small treasury. Of course, the premise is that there must be officers and soldiers to pick it up, otherwise the money will not be shipped back.

Two days later, Banxi Hachiro held a banquet in Sihailou, invited Xu Juren to dinner, and by the way, also invited Zhao Guanhou to go. Their group is relatively low-key, they have not set up an office in Xinmin, and even their identities are hidden, not to mention the Fusang people. However, Zhao Guanhou knew that there were now at least 30 Jin generals who were spying on intelligence and military intelligence for the Fusang people, and received a monthly allowance of 50 taels of silver.

There is a man named Wu Jingfu in it, who is said to be very good, not only shrewd and capable, but also very good at writing information and drawing maps. In addition, he is resourceful, and he is good at speaking in the Fusang General Staff, and he must be the first in trouble, and he is known as Mr. Wu, who has a way, and the Fuso people mention him with praise all the words.

Banxi Hachiro was also praising this Wu Ziyu between the banquets, obviously after the war, this person must be reused. He changed his words and talked about the battle in front of him. "The current war between the Reich and Tiele is in a brief stalemate, and although Makarov is about to take office, I don't think it will help to reverse the situation. At sea, it is the empire that has absolute superiority. In land warfare, the Tielers fought conservatively, and it was an unrealistic fantasy that they tried to defeat the great Imperial forces by virtue of their defense. And I think we should puncture their illusions as soon as possible and make them understand that this is a war in which Fuso is bound to win and Tiele is doomed to defeat. ”

Xu Ju said: "Mr. Banxi, the soldiers of your country are brave and good at fighting, and this governor also knows it. It's just that the current year is approaching, and the bitter cold outside the plug is probably not conducive to another war, and the two sides will enter the stage of confrontation, and wait until the spring of the next year is warm, and then revive the division. ”

Banxi knew that he would poke the spear with himself, and he would not pick up his words openly, at this time, it was nothing more than whoever took the initiative to ask for it, and whoever would suffer a loss. According to Fusang's original idea, he wanted to force Jin Guo to speak first, and then he would take the opportunity to threaten him, and it was best to deposit the staggering amount of official money in Zhengjin Bank.

But the information I got not long ago made the Fuso people a little unable to sit still. First, the Rouran bandits, who have already made contact with the Tiele people and received supplies from the Tiele people, are afraid that they will invade outside the border on a large scale to serve the Tiele people. In addition, Tiele will increase the support for the Huawei team, use these bandits to protect the railway, and by the way, invade the area controlled by Fusang, and destroy the logistics supply of the Fusang troops.

Tiele's national strength is far stronger than that of Fusang, and the reason for fighting this battle depends on the fact that Fusang's investment capacity in the Far East is limited after all. As long as the railway in Fusang is jammed and the supply traffic is destroyed, there will be no food and ammunition on the front line, and it will be difficult to resist. It is impossible for a formed unit to pass through the blockade zone to accomplish this kind of work. The only people who can do this are the redbeards who are familiar with the terrain and are native to their hometowns.

The current situation is that whoever wins one more Red Beard will have one point greater in his own strength and one point less in the enemy's strength, which is a matter of one plus one. And if you want to defeat the Tiele people in the struggle for Redbeard outside the Guan, the support of the Dajin government is indispensable.

The famous general Makarov came from the sea, and the morale of the Tiele Navy was boosted, and the previous tactics of completely destroying the Pacific Detachment were not fully successful, and the naval battle was actually not very favorable. If we fail to recruit enough bandits on land for our own use, the land war may end in a stalemate or even be defeated. And the Tiele people have already released their words that they want to attack Goryeo and Fusang proper, and this battle, in fact, cannot be lost in Fusang.

Banxi hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Haion, in front of you, I won't tell lies. The key to determining the outcome of the entire battle depends on this truce. ”

Xu Juren secretly sneered, little devil, compared to cultivating kung fu, how can you be my Hei Hanlin opponent who has been sitting on the cold bench in the Hanlin Academy for nine years and has never let go of an examiner. If you don't say it, I won't open my mouth, and I'll walk away to see who is in a hurry in the end. He smiled secretly in his heart, and he was puzzled on the surface, "This? I don't understand, what do you mean? ”

"During this truce, we hope that Daikin will be able to provide more help, especially with Zhao'an Redbeard. Traditionally, the bearded men take a break during the Chinese New Year, so during this time, we hope to make contact with more bearded leaders so that they can help the Fuso army to carry out the battle to break the diplomatic relationship in the rear of Tiele. My country's Hanada Shinnosuke Nakasa has been engaged in this work, but he is a Fuso man, and it is not as convenient as the government to do this kind of thing. ”

Zhao Guanhou frowned, "It's difficult." If you celebrate the New Year, you will have a beard, and we will also celebrate the New Year. At this time, let the government send someone to talk about Zhao'an, and whoever sends it will be scolded by the ancestors. And with all due respect, Banxi Jun, your country's reputation is not much better than that of the Tiele people. The Tiele people forcibly exchanged the Qiang tickets, and your country forcibly exchanged the hand tickets, and these two kinds of tickets were used for a week, ensuring that no one could tell which country's tickets were faced. The people don't like you, how can you persuade us? Also, you have disrespected our officials and arrested the magistrates as spies, which makes it difficult for us to do so. ”

Xu Juren can't say this kind of thing, Zhao Guanhou can just play a black face, Xu Juren is satisfied, and his face is silent, "Guanhou, this is not to blame Mr. Banxi, he is not the chief officials of Dashanyan and Kodama, we can't blame the people who do things." Mr. Banxi, the matter of eating vegetables and recruiting peace, in the long run, you must also understand the difficulties of our country. ”

Banxi smiled awkwardly, "This...... This is probably some of the military's tactics, which are a little too drastic, and I will report this to the military, hoping that they will restrain the movement of the troops. However, there is no doubt about the friendship between our country and your country, and our dispatch of troops this time is purely to provoke righteous indignation and contribute to your country. ”

"That's why my country is also helping you within the limits of our ability." Zhao Guanhou said bluntly, "I don't have anything to say if I can help, but I can't do anything I can't do, and I can't promise you." This is the actual situation, Mr. Plate, you have to understand. Tell me, who can negotiate with the beard now? I asked my family not to celebrate the New Year outside the customs and go to the beard nest to negotiate, isn't this looking for scolding? Besides, if you talk about empty words, how can a beard listen? ”

Banxi knew that he was asking for benefits, so he had to smile, "We have also considered this, and our country has prepared a holiday allowance for the officials in charge of recruitment." To make up for the loss that they can't celebrate the New Year, the number on the account will vary according to the number and results of the Zhao'an bandits, but if it is Lord Zhao, within my personal authority, I will set up a passbook of 50,000 yuan for you. In addition, we will replenish the redbeard with guns, ammunition, and explosives. As long as they are able to perform disruptive and harassment operations, the Empire will provide them with the tools they need. ”

Xu Juren took over at this time, "Mr. Banxi, you also know that I am a newcomer to Xinmin, everything is unknown, and many things are difficult to do. But for the sake of our friendship, I allocated a special fund of 200,000 yuan to do the recruitment fee. Guanhou, you have worked hard once, there are not many people who understand the green forest and can deal with them. Enough people to be identious, even less. Only if you do this errand properly, this year, you will be a little wronged. ”

Banxi couldn't stop thanking him, and promised to provide two first-class cabin seats for the master and servant of the Jade Beauty, Zhao Guanhou reluctantly nodded and sighed again. "What do you say, I didn't come to deal with this errand if I knew it, I would have ordered my general. There are orders in the army, and I dare not disobey them, but the ugly words are in front, and it is best to do it, and if it can't be done, don't be annoyed. As for which way to recruit people, do you have a consensus? ”

Naturally, this cannot be recruited casually by the mind of the chief officer, so there is no way to investigate. Banxi had already prepared, took out a sketch of the outside of the gate, and pointed to a place:

"It's called Octagonal Terrace, and there are about 100 bandits who form the so-called insurance team. The leader of the team is named Zhang Jinghui, but in reality, he is now just a puppet. In this team, the person who is really responsible is a person named Zhang Yuting. Although he is young, according to our intelligence, he is a very good talent among the bandits, and the location of the octagonal platform is also very conducive to our invading of Tieler's heart. First of all, it is time to recruit this force. And in order to recruit them, the empire can provide funds of two thousand taels of silver, as well as ten new rifles and two hundred rounds of medicine. ”

Zhao Guanhou said: "Add two revolvers, plus ten good horses, and the beard likes this." With all these things, I'm going to talk about it. ”

Banxi nodded in agreement, and the two sides talked about it. But when he returned to the Xinmin Mansion Hall, Xu Juren called Zhao Guanhou, "Guanhou, I just felt familiar with the name of this Yuting, and I only remembered it at this time." Last year, a batch of birthday gifts offered by Prince Rouran Zasaktu to the Queen Mother was taken away, and the imperial court later sent someone to investigate, which is said to be the hand of a person named Zhang Yuting. If he even dares to take the tribute, I'm afraid that he is an unruly person, can you recruit An? Don't fall for the tricks of the bandits, and lose a lot of materials in vain, but encourage the bandits. ”

Zhao Guanhou said: "Don't worry, my lord, now that the two big countries are at war, it is becoming more and more difficult for these redbeards to move." If you don't find a big tree to lean on, sooner or later it will be solved by someone. At this time, no matter whether he is a rebellious or not, he needs to recruit An, just to see whose sincerity is more sufficient. It's not too late to drive the Tiele people away first, and then slowly track down his robbery. ”

Seeing him say this, Xu Juren nodded yes, and when he sent him away, he secretly thought to himself: Send him a great credit, and give him a secret guarantee, even if he doesn't owe him favors, they will get along with each other in the future. It's just King Qing's instructions to arrange a governor's seat for his son-in-law, which can't be done.

Zhao Guanhou didn't know that the governor of the three provinces who had been saved by himself did not want him to stay outside the customs from the beginning. He has already begun to send a letter to Zhili, hoping to transfer himself back to Shandong and send another commissioner to assist in military affairs outside the Guanxi area. His eyes had already fallen on the octagonal platform, and soon after returning to the room, he began to use his connections to collect all the information about the octagonal platform and the news related to Zhang Yuting.
