Rong Lu, a native of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and a native of the White Flag, is the old surname of the Guerjia clan. As a Manchurian family, he came out early on an errand, but because of his misconduct, he caught the handle of Su Shun, a powerful minister in the Xianfeng period at that time, and almost beheaded him. Bankrupt drilled the route of the devil six, and resurrected with a donor class, when Xianfeng was still there, this guy had already achieved the position of the Minister of Internal Affairs again. It seems to be a rising political star, but in the fifth year of Guangxu, because of the bias towards the clear stream, and there is a tendency to drill the Empress Dowager Ci'an in the East Palace. How could Cixi tolerate the betrayal of her subordinates? Even if Rong Lu once helped her to bring down Su Shun and take power, it would be the same. As a result, he was charged with embezzlement and bribery, and he was sent out far away.

This guy is going to return to the center of power earlier than in history......

Yesterday, Xu Yifan accepted a concubine, Rong Lu came with great enthusiasm, and dared to loudly declare that he was the appointed Minister of the Praetorian Guard Military Training Office, and Xu Yifan's top boss! Xu Yifan's previous life and future life, no matter how deep or shallow, are all spinning in the political whirlpool, and he understands a truth too well. As a politician, there is never a move for no reason!

The concubine ceremony, after being disturbed by these characters with their own arms, almost ended hastily. Xu Yifan was very absent-minded when he accepted his tea ceremony for the pair of beautiful concubines. His heart is just circling, this top boss seems to have been found by Cixi for himself, what kind of purpose does he have? How should I deal with him? All kinds of piles were entangled in one place, making him just frown and ponder.

The guests outside have gradually left, and the red candles in the hall are feverish, and with Xu Yifan's status, where does anyone dare to listen to him. Xu Yifan sat on the main seat of the room, holding his head with one hand, and just subconsciously knocking on the table with the other.

Rong Luqi, before being deposed and belittled, can only be said to be prodigal, bent on camping, and a little ruthless in retribution. According to historical records, after he returned to the center, he did not change his mind to the camp, but he had a little more of an old way of looking at the style. came back this time, according to Xu Yifan's own thoughts, because there were really no people in the Manchu clan who knew the soldiers. For example, the navy yamen picked the prince to take power, but as a result, he still cultivated Li Hongzhang's private army. They don't have that mind, they don't have the ability to fight Hanchen, they are all busy keeping their wealth and living the life of idle Jingshi bannermen. The Banner Man Clan can be said to be the most typical example of the corruption and incompetence of the Banner People.

As for Rong Lu, he is different. The first was to serve as a Manchurian general in Xi'an for more than ten years. You must know that before the rise of the Xianghuai Army, the Manchu Qing Dynasty deployed the heaviest place in the world, except for the Beijing Division, where the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp was located! The war there, from the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, almost continued until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and there were few years of peace. Shaanxi and Gansu connect Mongolia and Xinjiang Province Huibu is located, here stationed more than 100,000 troops, two ways to attack, for the Manchu Dynasty for more than 200 years, from Wang Ping Fan to Zhun Geer all the way down, just a few decades ago, but also fought an unprecedented tragic pacification of the rebellion, the subjugation of Xinjiang Province. Rong Lu has been a general in Xi'an for more than ten years, even if he has never eaten pork, he can be regarded as having seen a pig walk. Count with your fingers, that is, he is the most knowledgeable!

The second is that after all, when Rong Lu purged the party, he was one of Cixi's henchmen. Although he was later deposed, after more than ten years of beating, it is estimated that he should understand. At this time, he was promoted back to the center by Cixi, and he had the most serious thoughts about repaying his kindness, and he had the strongest thoughts about climbing up the camp. Let him be the head of the General Office of Guard Training, it can be said that he is the most willing to sell his strength and can monitor Xu Yifan's movements the most! Although Cixi, an old woman, has no academics, she is really naturally sensitive to the struggle for the balance of power......

Indeed, in history, when Zhong Ronglu was there, Yuan Shikai, who was training under him, didn't even dare to blow up his wings. Under Rong Lu's overall surveillance, it was said that Yuan Shikai agreed to Tan Sitong's mutiny plan, and finally told the betrayal. It's really a little overestimating Yuan Shikai's courage.

How on earth should I deal with him? The original plan was to be used to deal with the flag man and the prince as his top boss!

Xu Yifan thought too deeply, and didn't notice that his pair of freshly baked concubines had already changed their outfits with the support of Xi Niang, and led them over with their heads down.

Rao is Xu Yifan was full of thoughts, and he couldn't help but raise his head when he heard the sound of footsteps. I saw that Chen Luoshi and Du Juan were both wearing red wedding dresses and variegated skirts, and they rubbed over step by step with their heads down. Both of them had their hair tied high, revealing their white and slender necks, and they were dressed in happy clothes, which concealed the true colors of their poor daughters.

Xi Niang sang the happy song loudly, Chen Luoshi and Du Juan were so nervous that they trembled all over, and raised their heads pitifully. The two girls know their identities and are concubines when they marry. In the future, in front of the big house, you have to do a small low. In the future, the happiness of the whole life will be tied to the big man sitting there!

Xu Yifan looked at the candlelight, the two delicate little faces, I don't know if it was because of nervousness or shyness, they all had a layer of tears, and looked at themselves in a fog. The two girls have been carefully decorated today, you must know that the bride who put them on makeup is also an expert in running the palace.

It's really like a flower, and I feel pity. In the future, I really have to afford these two girls, and what they rely on is myself?

For Xu Yifan, who in his previous life, his girlfriends all talked about one by one, and now he is in a really strange and strange mood. Love, happiness, a man's satisfaction and sense of accomplishment are blended together, so that he is speechless for a while.

Xi Niang stabbed the two girls in the back, and the cuckoo was the most shy, and now it is estimated that her body is red. Chen Luoshi was a little bolder, and said in a trembling voice: "Old ...... Sir, let's rest in wide clothes. Tonight...... Be...... It is the first time that the concubine has served the master, and the posture of the willow is like a willow, and I hope that the lord will have mercy on ......"

The words are crepe, I don't know how long this illiterate senior sister has memorized. Xu Yifan's heart moved, but at this moment when he should have a big surname, he remembered another words.

“…… The one who is the chief official is the eldest master, and the one we are the subordinate is the concubine, who pays attention to the smile and smiles. Whatever the boss says, we have to do something, the boss is laughing, even if you die, you have to laugh. The boss is crying, even if you are the night of the candle in the cave room, the little Dengke in life has to cry......"

I can't remember which notebook novel in the late Qing Dynasty said the key to being an official, Xu Yifan's mood suddenly became bad. He now has such a top boss, does Lao Tzu also want to be his concubine!

A wave of arrogance arose spontaneously at this time, and Cixi and Ronglu wanted to restrain themselves? That's too much to underestimate yourself, right? Coming through and preparing to fight, it was the entire Manchu bureaucracy!

Even if he is the enemy of the world, this Qing is also usurped!

He stood up and startled the cuckoo. Xu Yifan greeted the bride with his back hand: "Help the two aunts and wives to go to the bedroom to rest...... Zhang Yu, what about Zhang Yu? ”

Sure enough, before the words fell, Zhang Yu didn't know where to get out: "My lord, what's the matter?" ”

"Chuan Chu Wanli, I'm waiting for him in the study!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After introducing Chu Wanli respectfully into Xu Yifan's study, Zhang Yu stayed at the door. Xu Yifan's voice came from inside: "Don't guard here!" No one is allowed to approach without my summons, Zhang Yu, you keep an eye on me outside! ”

Zhang Yu agreed, lowered his hand and retreated, and looked around, the two new houses in the courtyard were all red candles with high fevers, and I don't know what kind of thoughts the two girls have. It seems that the first night of the wedding is to be alone in the empty bed. Looking at the study again, it was also brightly lit, and I didn't know what Xu Yifan was discussing with Chu Wanli. The things that can be talked about at night without leaving aside the beautiful concubine are definitely not small.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Yu's mouth, and he quietly retreated to the backyard along the dark shadow in the corner, his eyes always vigilant. Looking at the way he walks, his heels are always lifted, and he has already raised the kung fu of Xingyi Boxing. If someone suddenly came out to greet him at this time, maybe what was waiting for was the thunderous blow of Zhang Yu, the master of national arts!

In the blink of an eye, he retreated to the base of the wall, and with a slight inhalation, his body was pressed against the wall. After waiting quietly for a while, I suddenly heard a slight sound, which was the sound of sand falling on the wall. Zhang Yu raised his breath slightly, and he didn't see how he tiptoed and twisted his body, his back hand was already enough to reach the eaves of the wall, and with all his strength, the silent ghost shadow turned out.

His figure disappeared, and in the shadows on the other side, Wang Wu probed his brain out. At this time, it can be seen that Wang Wu's ability to come out, usually he is all outside the family frame, which makes people forget that he was born in the practice of internal kung fu Baguazhang. In front of Zhang Yu, a master of Xingyi, he was able to hide his body!

But Wang Wu, a great man who cultivates both inside and outside, touched his beard at this time and looked surprised with a look on his face: "God changed? Is there really anyone who can practice Xingyi to this extent? ”

Zhang Yu's kung fu has reached such a situation, and even Wang Wu is not sure that he can follow the wall out without being discovered by him!

From the beginning of Wang Wu's arrival in Nanyang, Xu Yifan secretly gave his fifth brother such a task, keeping an eye on Zhang Yu's every move! But now, Wang Wu really can't go out with him.

He shook his head in annoyance, and muttered again, "Brother, what's wrong?" is so happy, and he doesn't share a room with Erya? Even if it's with this little girl, Cuckoo? The mind of an official is really incomprehensible. ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

On this night, there were many people who had their own thoughts.

Rong Lu comfortably stretched his legs and waisted on the Taishi chair, his boots were lifted, and his two red hairy legs rested in the wooden basin. A Goshha was carrying an iron kettle to pour hot water inside, and it was so hot that Rong Lu almost called out a cool word. The other two Goshkha were rubbing his feet with a smile on their faces. These men who came from the northwest with him, riding on horses, and some horses like dragons and tigers showed off enough at Xu Yifan's concubine ceremony. In private, it was still the true character of the Qing Dynasty soldiers at that time, flattering to the top, brave inside, and even more timid outside.

A Goshha smiled and said: "Today, the adults have given Xu Yifan an ugly look, look where is this kid still proud?" What kind of double Qin is poor, it's not a dish in front of adults? ”

Rong Lu closed his eyes and scolded a swear word: "Rong Laozi has never used this kid with his eyelids!" Immediately he opened his eyes again, and the little ruffian habits were cleaned up at once, and he said solemnly: "We are back to the capital this time, you rabbit cubs, this time we are under the order of the prestige." At other times, you have to clean up the tyrannical energy in Xi'an for Lao Tzu! Got it? ”

Goshha chirped in succession. Rong Lu twisted his eyebrows, he was actually quite delicate, a bit like a scholar. Today's Qiu Bawei in Xu Yifan's Mansion was deliberately taken out. This is also the intention that I have been thinking about for a long time. It was Cixi Lafayette who promoted him back, looking at the court newspaper about Xu Yifan in the past six months, and then inquiring about the news of the capital, as well as the training he received when he met Cixi, he already understood. In fact, along the way of Xu Yifan's promotion to official errand, Cixi was passive.

He went out to Beijing to train his troops, which was to strike a balance between Qingliu and Li Hongzhang. When the Nanyang artillery case came out, Xu Yifan was promoted because he needed to go to the top tank to deal with this tricky negotiation matter, and he also had the intention of unloading the mill and killing the donkey. Xu Yifan Bodhisattva blessed and returned from the struggle of Nanyang safe and sound. In order to prevent him from falling to the imperialist, he had to be reused to train troops in North Korea!

Cixi's longevity is imminent, and she just wants to keep her glory and wealth safely. When the time comes, her eyes will be closed, and the flood behind her will be raging. Xu Yifan took advantage of the situation and rose so quickly, in fact, it had affected the internal balance of the rickety building of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But he was able to move among several forces, so he never made a loss-making transaction.

God knows how this kid has such a keen sense of smell in officialdom!

Cixi used him to suppress Xu Yifan, but what she actually thought in her heart was to make Xu Yifan unable to do this military training! No matter what important land it is, no matter what military affairs it has, it doesn't matter if this broken ship continues to float on the water.

That's why he just broke into Xu Yifan's happy occasion with a rude look today, and laughed and scolded well.

But just dealing with one Xu Yifan, is it the whole purpose of his struggle to return to Beijing this time?

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a pain in the back of his head, and when he turned around, he wanted to curse. What I saw was my most handsome close-fitting Goshha, who was also sprayed with sesame oil, and squirmed and pinched a white hair and smiled: "Master, you have white hair." ”

Rong Lu's scolding turned into laughter: "Little rabbit cub, pull out Lao Tzu's white hair and don't say hello, come into the house at night to serve!" ”

The few Goshha at the bottom are smiling, who doesn't know that this one-bird is the most favored by Rong Lu's side? Rong Lu took the white hair from the rabbit's own soldier, and he didn't know which one he touched, so he didn't speak.

Deposed from the capital, it will be fourteen years to go to Xi'an...... Shaozhuang has also become an old man. How many fourteen years are there in life? The accumulation of Xi'an's eunuch bag has almost filled Li Lianying's bottomless pit. Returning to the capital, suppressing Xu Yifan is one thing, but that kind of bitterness is no longer over! Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity and find a way to climb back again!

To do a good job as an envoy to North Korea, three points of strength is enough, in North Korea, isn't there a Yuan Shikai who can help? Restraining each other is the supreme magic method to control your subordinates. Seven points of spiritual strength still have to be used in Jingshi! Use the material resources of North Korea to tie the favor of the Queen Mother Lafayette! Guarding in Seoul, the salary road of the traffic Beiyang is stuck, and if he doesn't give Xu Yifan money, can he pull the money out?

Follow Xu Yifan to the training of the food and drink? Rong Laozi didn't make that stupidity.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"Let's not go into Seoul, put on a low posture, and only guard North Korea in the Pyongyang area, Wanli, what do you think?"

Xu Yifan put out a map of North Korea, without the consciousness of being a groom official at all, and slapped on the map with a blazing eye.

Chu Wanli yawned for a long time, obviously taken out of the bed by Zhang Yu. Try to keep your eyes open and follow Xu Yifan to look at the map. In fact, since these days, the geography of the mountains and rivers of North Korea, and the geography of the soldiers, have long been memorized in the minds of these officers who have been trained as soldiers.

Xu Yifan's base in North Korea was originally an established strategy. But he never said anything about giving up his business in Seoul. After all, this is the most convenient way to communicate between Beiyang and China, and the supply route for the Korean garrison also passes through here. The operation of Seoul is also convenient for the joint defense of water and land with the Beiyang Naval Division, and it is connected to stabilize the gateway of the Bohai Sea.

But Xu Yifan's current plan is to lose Seoul to Yuan Shikai, who is based there, and the newly baked boss Rong Lu!

His mind suddenly followed Xu Yifan's train of thought. Xu Yifan's eyes were blazing, and his chest was depressed just now, as if he had vomited it out in this decision. Between his expressions and admiration, it seemed that Lord Xu was the one who led them to rush and kill among the tens of thousands of mobs in Nanyang.

The room was silent, and only the sound of Chu Wanli's fingers unconsciously tapping on the table was heard.

"What about Qingjun? Is Lord Qingjun going to pull them out? ”

"Can I still leave them soldiers? Of course pull it out, I'm rightly right, I have this power! ”

"Where's the salary? To be honest, we are not short of money. Even if they are stuck in Seoul with the little money we deserve, they are not afraid. However, rice grains, side dishes, military uniforms, and supplies for the husband and wife, according to the usual practice, are all purchased in Beiyang with the salary allocated by the imperial court. Then it was shipped to North Korea. The adults will give up the salary, even if we take the money to go to Beiyang to purchase these materials and transport them back, isn't it just that the financial resources that we have been keeping secret will be made public to the world? With tens of thousands of soldiers in hand, and millions of silver salaries flowing in every year, I am afraid that I will be even more feared! ”

Chu Wanli slowly expressed his worries, and just looked at Xu Yifan. He was so sleepy that he didn't know where he had gone.

Xu Yifan smiled coldly, and the words squeezed out from between his teeth seemed to carry the voice of Jin Shi: "We are in Nanyang, and dozens of people dare to shoot and kill thousands of natives." Now with 10,000 soldiers in hand, the whole of North Korea is not allowed to do whatever we want? Eat them! Wear theirs! Take theirs! I'll look for Nanyang Transport for the arms machine, and the rest will be solved on the spot! Let North Korea become our sphere of influence! Let Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai go to Seoul to guard the hundreds of thousands of silver that they have withheld in a year. The most important thing is, do you have the courage and determination to follow me to break the boat? ”

The wind swept by, and the tone was solemn. It's really not like the words of the groom on the wedding night.

Chu Wanli was feverish.

This is what he wanted to hear in his lord's mouth after risking his life to Xu Yifan to ask the flag man to be captured, and after the excerpt of the martial arts world!

In order to show their restraint on the vassal states, the Manchus stationed troops in Korea, but they took all the supplies from the country. But Xu Yifan wants to put aside the precedent and turn the entire North Korea into his supply base!

At this time, Chu Wanli could only nod silently, but what came out of his mouth was what Li Yunzong once said: "My subordinates are willing to die for adults!" ”

Xu Yifan nodded coldly: "This is for the interests of our nation, you have to remember this." Only an army with a strong national consciousness can be a truly modern army. In Nanyang, you have already learned the first lesson, in Korea, you use the bayonet in your hand, and then review these well......"

Chu Wanli nodded heavily, this national interest is definitely not for the national interests of the flag people!

Xu Yifan's eyes were only focused on the direction of Seoul on the map of North Korea, this plan to give up the way to Seoul and show weakness to Ronglu, there is another point, which Chu Wanli did not find, but at this time, he didn't want to say it.

No matter how corrupted the Qingjun is, it is the Dinghai Divine Needle of North Korea, and the Renwu Incident in North Korea was quelled by the Qingjun. If he pulls the Qingjun away, then the area around Seoul will be completely empty.

He smiled faintly, with a hint of tiredness in his expression. If Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai had a heart for this, instead of just wanting to rectify him Xu Yifan, even if he proposed to strangle North Korea, they should keep him in Seoul, and the salary would be in the hands of him and Rong Lu. If you really train the army well, if Rong Lu can really be higher than the average level of officials in this era. Even if he is training in North Korea, he should go north to share his ups and downs...... He can give Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai such a chance to choose. But will Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai give up their sole control of the Seoul Salary Road, with hundreds of thousands of earnings a year, and laugh at his chance of Xu Yifan's downfall by the way?

Although the incident has not happened yet, Xu Yifan has already made a conclusion. No other, because he knows the times too well.

Yuan Shikai and Rong Lu definitely didn't know the threat of the emptiness of Seoul, if they really didn't care about this, but just thought about private fighting. Then he doesn't care about being unjust for once!

Let's go to the country, let's go to the military training. In this lifeless Yanjing City, although it was only a few days, he was like sinking under the water, looking at the hazy sky outside the water. I just feel like I can't breathe.

To come here is to be the enemy of the world.

Start with North Korea!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The two windows facing each other are bright inside, and the words "happy" are pasted on the outside of the windows.

Occasionally, the light in the window dimmed, and it was a red candle, which burned to the head. Two pairs of sparkling eyes, just inside the window, stupidly staring at the lights in the direction of the study.

With a creak, a window stole open. Poked out the cuckoo's head. There was a sound here, and the window over there was pushed open almost at the same time, and Chen Luoshi also poked his head out.

The two of them looked at each other, both feeling shy. It's like waiting for a man to wait and can't sleep. Laughing at each other awkwardly, the two little girls spoke at the same time: "Master, he ......"

Chen Luoshi sighed faintly, this tall and beautiful girl is becoming more and more feminine.

"My lord is really, we girls only have this once in their lives, but we still have to go to the study to talk about something. What's the matter that can't wait until tomorrow to be busy? ”

Du Juan held his chin and began to maintain Xu Yifan's status first. They have been born and died together, and they have different feelings.

"The master is a busy person, I understand. Don't you see that when you were in Nanyang, facing tens of thousands of fierce and domineering indigenous monkeys, the lord was so majestic and handsome...... This time I went to North Korea again, and I had to train tens of thousands of soldiers! How many things does this have to do? You are not sensible, and you always think about annoying the master! ”

Chen Luoshi was speechless, not sharing joys and sorrows with Xu Yifan in Nanyang was an eternal pain in her heart. As soon as the cuckoo mentioned it, it felt as if she was half a head shorter. Du Juan and Xu Yifan are facing tens of thousands of people, and the thousands of horse thieves they have dealt with together are a bit not worth mentioning. But those who lose can't lose: "Why do I have to follow my master to North Korea this time!" Follow him from birth to death together, are you blessed to be with him? Bah! ”

The two little girls looked at each other like cocks, this kind of gambling made it even more cute. In the end, it was the cuckoo who was deflated first: "What are we fighting for?" If you take twenty taels for one month, I will also take twenty taels. It's the same for everybody...... The second string of people who came back from Nanyang, I don't know how to spread prestige on our heads in the future? ”

When Chen Luoshi heard this, he was also like a defeated chicken, holding his chin and not speaking.

The cuckoo's eyes rolled, and he blushed before he could say anything.

"Hey!"

"What's wrong?"

"Today, Xi Niang told me that when you are a concubine, you must have the means to be favored, do you know what the means are?"

"I'm the same as you, it's the first time I've married someone, how do I know?"

"Phew! You've only been married twice! Listen to the bride...... Say...... What bed is it...... ...... on the bed"

"In bed?"

"It's a matter of men and women!"

"You're not ashamed!"

"Didn't you say you pretended to be a man and went to secretly look at the kiln where your brother visited. I just asked you, you don't know how to be ashamed! ”

The two little girls, you and I, started bickering about this matter again. The first night of the wedding is lonely in the boudoir, which can be regarded as a method of dispatching.

Xu Yifan's world, they don't understand. And the little girl's small world is not something that Xu Yifan can understand at this time.

Li Xuan was lying high in the clean guest room at this time, and she turned over. The maid on the edge of the bed woke up suddenly, and stood up quietly to see if the young lady woke up at night and asked for tea and water. only heard Li Xuan wrinkling her nose in her dream, as if she was coquettish with someone.

"I also want two identical little maids......

(To be continued)
