In the Spring Festival of the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, the Qin army had a particularly comfortable life. Celebration after the Great War, Relaxation after Tension. A busy year, in the Spring Festival, you can let go of your burden and responsibility.

Of course, the whole province of Guangxi has also had a good year. Not to mention the people, only the government is concerned, the province's tax has increased by more than 30% compared with last year, and the operation of the iron and steel plant has given a pair of wings to Guangxi's fiscal and tax increase. And as of this year, Guangxi's taxes have nearly doubled compared with three years ago when the Qin army went south.

Li Futai is about to be transferred to Beijing, although his health is a little bad, but it is not a problem to make a book, stay up for a long time, and replace the top with a product and be old.

Kang Guoqi is also going to be transferred, either to enter Beijing as a squire of the six departments, or to be promoted to the governor of any province. Guangxi's taxes have increased greatly in the past three years, and Kang Guoqi, as a political envoy, has also contributed to it.

Foer Guochun was promoted to the position of political envoy of Guangxi, and climbed a step up. And the two vacant of the three giants in Guangxi, according to the news handed over by Beijing, are going to transfer foreign officials to take over. The prefects of the prefectures under the jurisdiction of Guangxi can also take over the lowest-ranking envoys.

Sun Shouqi was transferred to Huguang, and the new prefect of Liuzhou Mansion was an acquaintance of Liu Xian - Xu Yanxu, the prefect of Wuzhou. Of course, Xu Yanxu never knew that he had become Liu Xian's 'acquaintance'. This person was a jinshi in the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860) and served as the magistrate of Rongxian County, Guangxi. In the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865), Guiping was transferred to Qing * to suppress the local rebels who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty for meritorious service, and Dai Hualing was rewarded. In the sixth year of Tongzhi (1867), the Taiping Army rose up, and was transferred to the Taiping Prefect and Longzhou Tongzhi, because of his meritorious service in resisting the Taiping Army. The governor of Guangxi was used as a prefect and added a provincial title. In the ninth year of Tongzhi (1870), he was awarded the prefect of Wuzhou. more than a year. More than 70 major cases have been settled, and he is known for his good management of thieves.

Liu Xian paid attention to him because of this person's 'good governance of thieves'. All the attention is in the shadows, though. Xu Yanxu didn't know at all.

Liu Xian finally gave his baby son a big name a year ago, and he took the word "sheng", which is also a different pronunciation of "victory", which means victory and prosperity. The nickname is Anguo, Liu Anguo. also personally visited Dr. Huang Caoyun, and gave him more generous gifts than Cheng Jing who he gave Sun Shouqi. Because this generous gift not only has Liu Sheng's share, but also Wang Biyun's pregnancy.

This is definitely the biggest good news for Liu Xian during the Chinese New Year. Wang Biyun, who has the lowest sense of zài among the four women in the backyard, became the second woman in the Liu family to become pregnant after Zhang Miaotong. Liu Xian couldn't express his gratitude to Huang Caoyun enough. Although he has that file thing. As long as you don't shy away from medical treatment, many doctors can see that they have been cured, but Huang Caoyun just rushed to the point. But that's fate, isn't it?

……

In the Admiral's Mansion, more than a dozen Qin generals were taking their leave. In Guangxi in winter, the rain is also the same as the Jiangnan in summer, and the originally fine weather has reached the stall where everyone talks after dinner, and suddenly there are some signs of rain.

The sky is still blue here, but a large black cloud has gathered at the place where the heaven and earth meet in the west, although it has not yet floated over. But it is conceivable that there will be a heavy rain.

Huo Guangcheng, Cao Huailiang, Kong Lingren, Xiang Fa and others said goodbye one after another, and Liu Xian kept two sentences, and personally sent people out of the house, and everyone went far away before coming back.

Only the brothers-in-law Zhang Shuping and Zhang Shouxun were drunk. Ding Zhenduo is the chief attendant, and he stays in the Admiral's Yamen on weekdays, and the three of them stay. Then there's the Van der Bang. Zhang Shouyan goes out to run relationships at this time of year. Send filial piety, and you won't see anyone at all during the New Year.

in the room. Liu Xianyang lay on the boat in a big way, and Zhang Miaotong leaned on the head of the bed. Holding a light pink handkerchief in his hand, he twisted it vigorously, seeing that Liu Xian's face was a little pale, and he drank a lot, now is not a good time to speak, but he is a little worried in his heart, and asked softly: "Master, if some of the words at this banquet reach the ears of people outside......

Liu Xian's mind was empty, and after listening to his wife's words, his eyes began to regain focus, his brain turned twice, and he smiled, "It's okay." Your lord is red now, as long as I don't really raise troops to create a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, make some complaints, and don't have any. Besides, the governor of Beijing holds the governor of Guangxi and doesn't give it to me, and Lao Tzu's complaints are light. ”

In fact, Liu Xian has an additional signboard of the Nanyang Admiral, and he already feels that the psychological side is enough. But I'm afraid that there is no comparison of anything, and the top of the Nanyang Admiral on his side has just been brought, and before it is warm, Liu Mingchuan on the other side has indeed become the governor of Yunnan.

Paralyzed, Beijing City is a bit deceitful too much! How much better is Liu Mingchuan's background than Liu Xian? On both sides are half-peasants and half-bandits, born in half a catty and eight taels. Dog's day, Liu Mingchuan can be the governor of Yunnan, why can't Liu Xian be the governor of Guangxi?

Isn't it still a background issue, a taboo of suppression?

The first to complain at today's banquet was not Liu Xian, but the cadres of the Qin army. Even Ding Zhenduo and Fan Debang sighed about this. These two people are the most depressed people here, they are civil officials, in the military attache system of the Admiral Yamen, no matter how powerful they are, the crown on their heads is not as fast as the Governor Yamen. Fan Debang is now a third-grade general. And those captain-level officers of the Qin Army, the high-ranking officers are also with the rank of general.

Liu Xian stretched out his hand and stroked the broken hair on Zhang Miaotong's forehead, "It's okay, don't worry about it." ”

But Zhang Miaotong thought about the words from the people at the banquet, how could he feel at ease, and stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve: "Master! The tone was anxious.

Liu Xian sighed and grabbed his wife's little hand, "The sky is falling, and I am on top of it." You can rest assured that the Gu family ......" Zhang Miaotong's heart suddenly sudden, 'The sky is falling, and I am on top', why isn't it 'the sky can't step down'? I was speechless for a while.

Liu Xian paused, didn't hear Zhang Miaotong's words, and thought she had complied. But when I looked up, I saw that Zhang Miaotong was distracted. pinched her chin funny at the moment.

The chin has been clamped by Liu Xian, and Zhang Miaotong has certainly come back to his senses. Liu Xian, who drank the wine, lost a little weight in his hand, and Zhang Miaotong's tears were about to fall when he pinched him, and he shook his head and said: "It hurts!" ”

Liu Xian hurriedly let go of his hand, and saw that his wife's snow-white face was pinched out of two red fingerprints, so he hurriedly reached out and rubbed it.

Zhang Miaotong slapped his hand, glanced at Liu Xian angrily, pouted and ignored him. Cute look, Liu Xian is itching in his heart. My wife is already the mother of two children, but she is only twenty-five years old, her skin is as tender as water, and the style of a young woman is very seductive and bewildering. Liu Xian loved the angry look on her face, couldn't help but stand up, leaned over and kissed the red mark on her cheek, a thin and faint fragrance rushed into her nose, and she reached out and hugged her and kissed her shallowly and deeply, teasing.

Zhang Miaotong only felt that the two big hands on her body slid over her skin with hot air, and the corners of her soft lips swept over her cheeks with irresistible force until between her lips. Like a butterfly staying on a flower, like a breeze blowing through the forest, gradually going deeper, but it was not enough, and I couldn't help but stretch out two arms to hook Liu Xian's neck.

When the star's eyes opened slightly, he saw a smile flashing in Liu Xian's eyes.

With a 'snort', he pushed him away fiercely, accusing: "Master, you, you ......" annoyed and blushing face, and before he finished speaking, he was pulled out of bed by Liu Xian again......

There are clouds and rain inside the room, and there are clouds and rain outside. Dark clouds came from the western sky, and after a few thunderstorms, heavy rain poured down. Wait for Zhang Miaotong to wake up after sleeping for a while. The rain has not stopped, but it is not heavy anymore, and it is dripping.

Liu Xian, who was okay in his heart, slept with his wife in his arms. The thunder outside didn't wake him up. When Zhang Miaotong woke up, he saw that he was nested in his arms, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and twist it.

With a headache on his arm, Liu Xian woke up, and when he opened his eyes, they were all red. Glancing up at the clock, it was not yet seven o'clock, "Why did you wake up so early?" Can you sleep a little longer? "I didn't finish eating and drinking until three o'clock at noon, and after chatting for a while, it was past four o'clock, and it was not too late to start dinner at eight o'clock.

Pushing away Liu Xian's frizzy hand, Zhang Miaotong sat up and said, "Get up quickly, Uncle Seventeen and they are all here." ”

Liu Xian sneered, drunk people, you want him to sober up in three or two hours, it's so easy. And Ding Zhenduo and Fan Debang, now they are sitting alone, and they can sit still for a long time. I don't know what I'm thinking. "Leave them alone, a drunk won't wake up so quickly. Let's rest a little longer, it's all right. ”

Liu Xian used force in his hand, pulled his wife down into his arms again, and stroked his hand from time to time. Zhang Miaotong is not as heartless as him. dragged him out of bed, went out to ask the maid, and sure enough, Zhang Shouxun and Zhang Shuping were still whirring, and Ding Zhenduo was 'meditating' in the front yard of the yamen.

In the evening, Liu Xian and several people drank again, and they were very drunk. But in the end, the bottom of the body is good, and I woke up the next morning and was still in good spirits.

This year, he had a very good time. The Qin army was on the right track, the steel mills and arsenals, except for the obvious lameness on the water, and the newly built shipyards in Qinzhou Bay could only make sampans, and the others were all a process of accumulation. To tell the truth, even if the Qin army is working with the Manchu Qing now, with the backing of the military industry, Liu Xian is not afraid. He never doubted that he could lead his troops to sweep through the Qing army such as Xianghuai and Chu, so for him, the attack after the army was not as important as the preparation before the army. And now, the preparations before the start of the army are in place......

So, now Liu Xian is very relaxed. It was like a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he was suddenly relieved, and his whole body was comfortable. This year, he was naturally very comfortable and happy, and even the Japanese attack on Taiwan that he would have to deal with next year did not cause a ripple in his heart. (To be continued......)
