Baghlan City is located on the banks of the Kunduz River, was once the summer capital of the Kushan Empire in ancient times, with a population of about 10,000 people, and now the ruins of ancient times are gone, the whole city is scattered on the banks of the Kunduz River and in the valley of the Hindu Kush Mountains various caves, wooden houses, Arabic-style rectangular earthen houses, the inhabitants are as thin as firewood and vegetables, at first glance they look like skeletons, and the life of poverty is unobstructed.

Although the influence of the Eastern Empire in Central Asia and West Asia is deepening, more and more Chinese businessmen are pouring into Central and Western Asia to pan for gold, but few people pay attention to Afghanistan, a poor country, but because Baghlan is adjacent to the green mountains of the empire, there are occasional merchants who come here to trade, Baghlan also has the only factory opened by Chinese businessmen in Afghanistan, a small weaving factory, after the coup d'Γ©tat in Afghanistan, the factory owner fled back to China, the factory was confiscated by the new Afghan government, the war started, and the equipment of the factory was also looted by the local Baghlan citizens, After the Chinese army occupied the city of Baghlan, only a few rudimentary factories remained, and even the wooden frames of the windows and doors were taken away.

Two days ago, the owner of the factory, Boss Jiao, returned to Baghlan, and when he saw this, he was furious and vowed to punish these despicable thieves, so he took the Afghan workers he had hired to search from house to house.

In the past two days, Boss Jiao went to the military headquarters to grind his teeth, and when he saw the officer, he told him how much property he had lost and asked the bosses to make decisions for him.

The officer on duty in the military department was annoyed by him, and after Lu Dezhong returned to Baghlan, Zhang Xun Zhang Guerrilla asked him to deal with the matter by name, Zhang Xun has several graduates of the military academy, and Lu Dezhong, who just graduated this year, is the most eloquent, and it seems that Zhang Xun has already noticed him.

At present, the military headquarters is just a compound enclosed by temporary bricks and earthen walls, and a guard platoon is usually stationed, and company-level cadres take turns to be on duty, while Zhang Xun spends most of his time in the military camp on the outskirts of the city, occasionally coming to the military headquarters to go around.

When sitting in the deserted cave reception room and seeing Lu Dezhong come in, Boss Jiao quickly stood up and took Lu Dezhong's hand, almost a handful of snot and tears, "Boss, you have to call the shots for me, my life savings are gone, you are all my relatives, I don't look for my relatives in China, who am I looking for?" ”

Lu Dezhong was a little helpless in his heart, in fact, several machines in Boss Jiao's textile factory were just manual spinning machines used in the earliest small workshops in China, and he used old machines that were eliminated in China, which were not worth a few dollars at all.

But then again, where will the real rich people in the country come to Afghanistan to open factories? Boss Jiao used to be just the manager of a small domestic workshop, although he had no worries about food and clothing, but he was unwilling to live like this for the rest of his life, so his family borrowed money to buy a few obsolete machines to set up a factory in Afghanistan, and the result was a loss, and it was really miserable.

"Come, sit down and drink your saliva." Lu Dezhong pressed Boss Jiao on the wooden stool, poured a cup of water from the tea jar and sent it to the boss, Jiao Lao stood up in fear, and was pressed down by Lu Dezhong.

Lu Dezhong sat down opposite and pondered: "Boss Jiao, as you know, in the letter to the people of Afghanistan, the king of Afghanistan has promised that no matter what position his subjects stand in the past, they will not be blamed for the past. Shouldn't we be a friend? "Stretched out his hand to block Boss Jiao's words, and said: Don't say listen to me, of course, your losses can't be calculated in vain, so let's do it, I'll give a report to Shangfeng, and after a period of stability, the Afghans will always have a problem of compensation for our Chinese businessmen, and they should have an explanation for you at that time." …,

Boss Jiao made a bitter face and said, "Then wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon?" Sir, then I can't drink the northwest wind during this time, can I? As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, leaned in front of Lu Dezhong, and said mysteriously: "My workers told me, they know who stole my machine, and there is a local rich family, his family has hundreds of sheep, sir, or you don't care, I will do it myself, if I don't believe it, I can't cure these barbarians?" Everything can't lift a reason, right? ”

Lu Dezhong frowned and said, "Don't come nonsense!" "What worker whistleblows? If he is rich, who will steal his machine? This must be an attempt to blackmail, to say that in this Baghlan, no one really dares to provoke him now, and this Boss Jiao doesn't seem to be a good person, which is really a headache.

At this moment, a loud "report" was heard, and the guards reported that the governor of Moheb had arrived and asked to see General Lu and Boss Jiao.

The governor of Moheb is also the chief of the local tribe, with a big beard, and after coming in, he called the affectionate boss Jiao a brother, and it seems that Boss Jiao has also gone to look for him a long time ago.

After greetings, Moheb smiled and said to Lu Dezhong: "Mr. Officer, I have made a special trip to see Boss Jiao, and after discussion by our management committee, we decided to first embezzle a part of the money from the provincial government's office funds to compensate Boss Jiao. ”

After listening to the translation, Boss Jiao said happily: "That relationship is good, Governor Mo, or you are a friend enough, I can't forget the ...... you helped my brother today" In fact, I originally wanted to say that my brother will help if there is something in the future, but seeing Lu Dezhong present, he didn't dare to mess around, after all, he is the only Chinese businessman in Baghlan now, and the Afghan is the new governor who also respects him very much, but he knows what kind of goods he is in the country, in front of Mr. Lu, don't talk about it.

Seeing this, Lu Dezhong could only shake his head, I heard that this boss Jiao also married two beautiful wives in Baghlan, in China, he is an old bachelor and a country is prosperous, and he is really a chicken dog ascending to heaven.

The Great Emperor brought too much to the empire.

Lu Dezhong remembered the happy expression of the camp just now, showed himself the fold of his meritorious service, and said happily: "Thanks to your brother's blessing, maybe my cheap name can also be targeted by the old man of the saint, brother, then my life will be worth it." ”

At that time, the camp seat was overjoyed, patted his shoulder still hurts a little, in fact, he can't complain about the camp gaffe, if His Majesty the Emperor can know his name, but it is really worth dying, if it is said that before, most of the people who carry guns are fighting to wear a top, but now unconsciously, the sense of honor of protecting the empire and the emperor is sacrosanct, and gradually injected into the soul of every soldier. The emperor paraded in the capital: "Now there are 100,000 banners, and the Lianke Difu will kill Yama!" How many people's blood boiled, just hearing about it, imagining the picture at that time, Lu Dezhong was already excited, hated not to experience it personally, followed the black pressure and could not see the end of the armor soldiers, with all his strength, the mountain shouted like a tsunami: "Long live!" Banzai! Hooray!! ”

Thinking of this, Lu Dezhong's body was slightly hot again, and he was really a little embarrassed.

Ye Zhao frowned slightly when he saw the capture of the British adviser in the Afghan Expeditionary Corps in the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, but in fact, some things were clear, but it was not a good thing.

Seeing Zhang Xun's name, Ye Zhao just smiled slightly and said, "Bao Shuai, this Zhang Xun, is there still a punishment?" Seeing Zhao Sanbao frowning and thinking, he smiled and said, "It's Zuo Guigui's time, that pigtail handsome." ”

Zhao Sanbao remembered it at this time, and said with a smile: "The emperor remembers it so well, and he will never forget it." He didn't have much of an impression of Zhang Xun.

Ye Zhao said: "Today can be regarded as a meritorious service." ..., Zhao Sanbao said with a smile: "Yes, the minister has already sent a letter of commendation, and he will send a message to Zuo Guigui when he goes back, and he needs to cultivate him more." ”

Ye Zhao said: "I just remember his name, if you don't cultivate it, you still follow the usual practice in the army." ”

Zhao Sanbao nodded yes.

Yesterday afternoon, British Minister Charlton held talks with officials of the Imperial Foreign Office and affirmed the British Empire's position on the "Three-Power Joint Declaration."

The day before yesterday, China, Germany, and Austria-Hungary officially issued a joint statement expressing indignation and condemnation of the shooting of an Austro-Hungarian diplomat by a Russian in Moscow, demanding that the Russian Government immediately extradite the murderer to Vienna (the capital of Austria-Hungary) for trial, and immediately dissolve the radical national party group in Russia, and that Austria-Hungary reserve the right to further investigate this evil act.

British Minister Charlton affirmed that the British Empire was equally incomprehensible and indignant at the assassination of the Earl of Gilla, but hoped that all countries would remain calm and settle their disputes through peaceful negotiations, and at the same time did not want any country to be involved in the domestic affairs of other countries.

At the same time, Minister Charlton issued a solemn warning on the Sino-Afghan war, saying that Her Majesty Queen Victoria and the British Government agree that China's armed attack on Afghanistan is an act of aggression that will cause permanent damage to the peace and stability of the Indian subcontinent, and the British Government strongly condemns such an act and hopes that China will immediately stop its military operations.

Ye Zhao put down this recital, pondered for a moment, and asked, "San Bao, have you read the newspapers in London these days?" The emperor can naturally call his subordinates by name, shouting words is a kind of grace treatment, but for Zhao Sanbao, Ye Zhao has always affectionately called him "Sanbao" or "Bao Shuai," Zhao Sanbao's name is Ye Zhao's name, and listening to Ye Zhao call him "Sanbao" instead of calling him the word he asked Mr. to take later, he felt more cordial.

Listening to Ye Zhao's question, Zhao Sanbao said: "I heard someone read it, and I want to read it myself, but I can't understand it." He frowned and said, "The British are not friendly to us. ”

In the past six months, British newspapers have reported a lot about China, almost all of which are negative news, and after the outbreak of the war in Afghanistan, some London newspapers even shouted that "sooner or later there will be a war with China!" ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, the sun never sets on the empire, if he doesn't give up the sun in London forever hanging in the Far East, there is no way to talk about it, until now, Hong Kong Island, haven't they been perfunctory?" Not to mention the affairs of Nanyang. ”。 οΌ‰
