The banquet was very sumptuous and the atmosphere was very lively. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWang Shizhen is modest, doesn't talk much, and his voice is not high, but he is very organized and has the temperament of a Confucian general, which makes people dare not underestimate it at first sight. Duan Zhiquan and Feng Yuzhang are a little more sharp than Wang Shizhen, Duan Zhiquan studied in Fusang, and he knows a lot about the establishment and generals of the Fusang Army. Talking about the Fusang Tiele War, he talked about the resumes and backgrounds of the generals and the characteristics of the battles.

Feng Yuzhang is quite familiar with Zhao Guanhou, and his family members were also attacked in Liujiatai that day, and they were rescued by Zhao Guanhou with his troops. So the two have a good relationship, and he knows that Duan Zhiquan and Zhao Guanhou are a little sick, so they play a round in the middle to prevent the two from having any trouble.

When it comes to the battle of Fusang Tiele, Feng Yuzhang said: "Although Fusang can win this time, it is also a tragic victory, I heard that outside the Lushun fortress, the corpses are piled up like a mountain. Nogi Noshinori's two sons both charged as daredevils and died under landmines. Although we won the battle this time, we also hurt our vitality, and the next negotiation is easy to negotiate. ”

Duan Zhiquan said with a smile: "Hua Fu, I have a different opinion from you, I think this time, it will be more difficult to talk about." The Fuso people have died so many people, if they are not satisfied with what they have gained, how can they give up with us. I'm afraid that when he negotiates, they will want more benefits, and if we can't satisfy the Fusang people, it will still be difficult to get into the hands of the three provinces outside the Guan. ”

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "Brother Duan, you also said this. Fuso people are very stingy, and since they eat in their mouths, they won't spit it out so easily. However, if it is because of this that they can ask for more, I don't think so. This time, the fleet of the Fuso people has basically been exhausted, and there are more than one out of ten warships that can go to sea, and the elite vitality of the army has been greatly damaged. We bought a large number of Redbeards outside the Guan, and if the Fuso people did not return the three provinces, I would let Redbeard make trouble with him every day to see how he stayed. ”

He added: "I agreed with Hai Weng that the move of immigrating outside the border is also to protect the territory and defend the land. The plan to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan. As long as we have money outside the border and a strong army sufficient to protect ourselves, we can hold the territory. Whether it is a Fusang person or a Tiele person, none of them are good people. It is impossible to defend your own territory and count on outsiders, and in the end you have to rely on yourself. In a short period of time, Fusang is powerless to intervene in the Guanwai, but whether he can seize the past few years depends on the skills of the magistrate. ”

Duan Zhiquan nodded and said, "That's right, we can't all look at how miserable others are, we still have to look at how strong our own strength is." If your foundation is not strong, no matter how unlucky outsiders are, we can only see jokes, but we can't get cheap. Like Brother Guanhou, laying a solid foundation and burying dark chess to make foreigners unhappy is the right way. Although my brother is young, he leads the troops to fight, but he is better than us. This time outside the gate, the fight is really beautiful, foolish brother toasts you. ”

With his rank and the degree of cronies with Yuan Weiting, there are not many secrets that he can't see, and he is completely clear about what Zhao Guanhou is doing outside the gate. I also admired his martial arts in breaking through Taoke Taohai and sweeping the Tiele military station and warehouse, and his expression was extremely kind, and he didn't mean to be surprised by the original artillery camp.

Wang Shizhen also said: "Outside the gate is the land of my great golden dragon, and it cannot fall into the hands of the Tatars." The act of crowning the marquis outside the gate can be called a one-handed mending the sky. With a talent like you to help train the troops, our soldiers from the six towns of Beiyang will definitely be able to train. With the elite of these six towns in hand, the great powers have to look down on us with admiration and dare not underestimate us. ”

Feng Yuzhang said: "Training is naturally good, but training must be paid first." To put it mildly, now that the imperial court's finances are depleted, if the funds cannot be fully counted, I think this soldier is not easy to train. ”

Yuan Weiting said with a smile: "Huafu, you don't have to think about it at this level, as long as I am in this position, I must always think about everyone's difficulties." No matter how difficult the matter of military pay is, I will bear it. You just have to work hard, and I'll do the fundraising. ”

His attitude was very similar to that of a family, and several officers naturally respected and loved him, and they raised their glasses to thank him. The wine was drunk until after ten o'clock. Zhao Guanhou wanted to leave, but a girl came out, saying that the eldest lady was invited, so he had to go to the inner house with Yuan Weiting to see Shen Jinying. Duan Zhiquan returned to his residence, and his confidant's staff Xu Youzheng was waiting in the study. When I saw him return, I immediately got up to greet him.

"Duan Gong, how is the banquet?"

This time, the post of the training came from Xu Youzheng's handwriting, and Duan Zhiquan said that he won Yuan Weiting's commendation, and regarded Xu Youzheng as today's Kong Ming. Therefore when I spoke to him, I did not hide it, and shook my head, and said:

"As usual, everyone drinks and brags, pats each other, and doesn't have many useful words. After the party was dismissed, the eldest lady sent a girl over and asked her brother to accompany her to talk about family affairs. Worshipping sisters and brothers, how can there be so many common sayings, it is nothing more than taking this opportunity to praise her brother and tell us that these people should not bully her brother for his young age and lack of qualifications. If you do a good job, it's better to be a backer, there is a relationship with the eldest wife, he is the yellow coat protector, and no one can snatch his position. Originally, I thought that he should be an official outside the gate, but I didn't expect that it was the right time to come back, this time to train the new army, and he was sitting firmly in the fifth town. ”

Duan Zhiquan sat on the Taishi chair as he spoke, and his tone was a little dissatisfied, "The junior in his twenties has only studied in the martial arts academy for a few months, and he doesn't talk about studying military affairs overseas, but he is directly entrusted with a heavy task and takes a town." The New Army of Six Towns is the essence of our Beiyang, and entrusting this kind of person to be in control is not a joke. ”

Xu Youzheng said: "This is also something that can't be helped, he has a relationship, and he has merit." The credit for the defeat of the Cossacks is there, and who can say that he is not a word. ”

"yes, I don't have much to say about his credit. However, his merits are at best a standard ability, and it is no problem to command a thousand people to fight, but commanding a 10,000-person army and commanding a battle is fundamentally different from commanding a battle. It's not that Gong Bao doesn't understand the difference, but he has the face of the eldest wife, so he has to pretend to be confused. In my opinion, this town in Shandong does not have much hope, and it is unlikely that it will have any combat effectiveness in the future. Fang just talked to him, knocked on the side, and found that he did have a hand in commanding small troops to fight, but when it came to large corps operations, he didn't know anything. This time, outside the customs, the battle at the level of hundreds of thousands of troops is a rare opportunity to observe. But he didn't look at it at all, he was only busy leading the troops to fight the warehouse and knock on the military station, and it was very reluctant to be a co-commander, and to be a town commander, I was the first to be unconvinced. ”

Xu Youzheng said with a smile: "Duan Gong, that's what I said, Dajin has reached the time when it must change." Employing people on the basis of relatives is not only virtuous, and in the end it is like this. Zhao has a good father-in-law, and he has great merit in saving the driver, and he has the care of Lafayette, even if the palace guard doesn't want to use him, he can't stop him. Daikin has to get rid of this bad habit of employing people only because of the constitutional government this time, and if this trend is not eliminated and the national fortunes are not opened, we will not be able to compete with the foreign powers. He is becoming popular too fast now, in fact, it is not a good thing, in the court, there are many people staring at the palace guard, looking for an opportunity to knock us, he is too fast, I am afraid that he is also the most vulnerable to being attacked. The sweets and pains of this are only known to him. ”

Duan Zhiquan nodded, "What you said also makes sense, the young man has ambition, and the focus is on Zangfeng." He is not as good as you, that is, his edge is too exposed, and such a person is afraid that it will be difficult to last long in the officialdom. This time, Fuso's victory over Tiele set a record for the yellow race to defeat the white race. According to my thoughts, the imperial court will inevitably send a large number of capable people to Fusang to continue their studies in military, economic, political, and cultural. I will escort you to Fusang and study hard, and when you come back, maybe his place will be yours." ”

Xu Youzheng stood up and made a solemn military salute, "Everything depends on Duan Gong's cultivation." ”

Feng Xi returned to Shandong to raise a baby under the protection of several Hu Cong, and Zhao Guanhou took a special train into the capital. After the entry of the Eight Kingdoms, the station was rebuilt, and the train that used to go only to Nanmabao can now reach the front gate. From there, it was much more convenient to hire a car to invest in the stack than in the past, and it was probably one of the few legacies left by that catastrophe to the empire.

Gao Sheng and several guards helped Zhao Guanhou carry the gifts he brought, because it was close to the birthday of the Queen Mother, the station was full of teams entering Beijing to give gifts, which was very lively. As soon as I went out, I saw a brand-new Huntsman driving towards me, and immediately the driver was wearing a brand-new robe, and a python whip was beating crisp whips in the air. Gao Sheng and the others were just about to stop them, but Zhao Guanhou had already shouted: "Blind! Don't even your wives recognize you? ”

The crowd parted and greeted the carriage, and when the carriage came to its side, he stepped on his waist and jumped into the carriage. As soon as the man got into the car, a nephrite warm and fragrant body leaned up, and the two hugged each other tightly. A "forehead." "It contains infinite lovesickness and concern, which is difficult to give up.

It was Jinzhong who was driving, and the one in the carriage was naturally Shige Yuqing. I haven't seen her for a while, Zhao Guanhou hugged Yuqing, looked at her with a good look, and looked at her a little nervously, thinking that she was not dressed properly, or the powder on her face was not wiped properly, and hurriedly asked, "What, has it become ugly?" People say that when a woman gives birth to a child, she will become fat and ugly. I practice boxing every day, isn't it still ...... Not good-looking? ”。

"No, I'm looking, where did this immortal fall. I was thinking again, how did such a beautiful personality fall into my hands. God treats me too well, which makes me a little afraid, afraid that this is a dream, so I am reluctant to stagger my eyes when I see you, for fear that if I mistake my eyes, such a good wife will disappear. ”

"If you stay, you will say good things and deceive people, and I am not jade, so I will not fall for you." Although she said this, Shigege's blushing face and her twisted expression obviously revealed her insincerity. The two were intimate in the carriage for a while, and Zhao Guanhou said, "When did you come?" This Huntsman is good, not much different from your original car, newly bought? ”

"It's not bought, it's given away. Let's go to the Six Nations Hotel, I've been in the capital for a while. It's not interesting to be alone in Shandong, and Eniang misses me again, so she takes Jade to Beijing to relax, and you can go to see Ama when you have nothing to do. In addition, Lafayette celebrated his birthday, and specially told Ama that he wanted me to stay and accompany Lafayette to listen to the play. How dare I go home? Again...... Besides, Ama also said that you are going to Beijing to celebrate your birthday. I didn't want to wait for Shandong, so I came to Beijing to greet the forehead and wash the dust for the forehead. ”

Gao Sheng and others arranged to go to the stack, and those gifts also had a place to put them, so Zhao Guanhou followed Shigege to the hotel with confidence. On the way, when it came to the war outside the gates, Shigege was still a little nervous.

"I bought newspapers in Beijing and Shandong, and I read that the battles outside the customs were fought so fiercely, and Tiele Fusang was at war with each other, but it was unreasonable to be on our territory. I also read the newspaper that tens of thousands of people were beaten by more than 100,000 people, and thousands of people died. My heart can't beat anymore, I'm really worried about you...... Sometimes I think, if this official doesn't do it, we have so much savings, and we can live a good life together in Songjiang or Hong Kong. Now it is going to the front line, which is not reassuring. But then I think about it, if you don't become an official, there is no one in the court, and this country, I'm afraid there is really no hope, and I am also in a dilemma. ”

"What kind of care, I'm so smart, how can I put myself in danger. No matter how hard the Tiele people and Fuso people fight, it has nothing to do with me, I'm not good. You said your heart was beating fast, I don't believe it, let me touch it......"

Shigege was teased by him, and the difficulties of a year's hard work were provoked, and after all, he couldn't really kill the jade grinding mirror, and he couldn't hold it at this time. Fortunately, the car had already arrived at the Six Nations Hotel, and the two finally danced without being in the car, hugged each other and got on the elevator, and went straight to the reserved suite.

The ten-grid room is the same room when the two first had an intimate relationship. Revisiting the old place, the mood is particularly sweet, as soon as he enters the room, Cuiyu is guarding the door, and when he sees Zhao Guanhou coming in, Ying Ying bows down, and takes off his coat and official boots for Zhao Guanhou. Zhao Guanhou hurriedly pulled her up, "I've been married for so long, why do I still come here, I'm not without hands, I don't need your help." ”

"Of course, you have to be polite, the lord has made great achievements outside the gate, and he will open the government in the near future. If the family loses the rudeness, others will laugh at it. Jade can get this heroic husband, it is a blessing for three lives, so naturally I want to please the master, lest the master forget me and find a new love. I like to wait for the master to take off his shoes and change his clothes, so that it can still be useful. ”

"You two, singing and singing, do you hurt me, don't you move the family law today, I'm afraid it won't work. Come on, let me show you how powerful the old man's family law is. ”

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, not to mention that they haven't seen each other for a year, and the three of them are almost like dry firewood, burning when they touch it. Shigege finally struggled in time and said shyly: "I'll ...... at night Again, I want to add a younger brother to my eldest sister to play with her. But now it doesn't work, we will have to go to the house to worship Ama later, if we mess around with you, we will definitely be seen, and we will be ashamed to death, how to see people. At night, it's up to you, okay? ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled: "That's good, this is what you said, and you won't be able to rely on it when the time comes." I happened to meet you two and tell me how our family is doing. (To be continued.) )
