After listening to Li Kaifang's words, Xiao Yungui smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry about foreigners, foreigners and Qing demons have been very different recently, and foreigners will not help Qing Demons." Although Fuzhou and Xiamen are treaty ports for foreigners, with the example of Shanghai and Ningbo, they will not worry about what we will do if we occupy the two ports. After you conquer Fuzhou and Xiamen, as long as you follow the two established rules in Shanghai and Ningbo, I believe that the foreigners will not have any opinions. ”

Recently, Britain invoked the Sino-US "Wangxia Treaty" stipulating that the provisions of the "Wangxia Treaty" stipulate that the trade and sea surface sections could be changed slightly after 12 years, and invoked the most-favored-nation treatment, and proposed to the Qing court that the "Jiangning Treaty" could be replaced with a new treaty after 12 years. The Manchu Emperor Xianfeng, who was well versed in the art of connecting horizontal and vertical alliances, and the ministers of military aircraft did not know any bullshit treaties at all, and in their opinion, it was already the emperor's grace that the Manchu Qing could maintain the original treaty, and the barbarians dared to come to disturb it, and they really didn't know what to do.

Having said that, the Manchu center was also unwilling to start a war with the foreigners when the domestic chaos was still in place, so the Qing court center and the Minister of International Trade Ye Mingchen had a procrastination in the note to the British minister Bao Ling. Historically, the officialdom of the country has used this Tai Chi technique to be perfect, and Rao is Bao Ling is also half of China's master, but it has also been played by this Tai Chi technique. The French originally wanted to join in the fun, but they were generally tricked, and the new US minister Mai Lian also submitted his credentials in person like going to Beijing, but she was also rejected many times.

At this time, Zeng Guofan, the minister of Hunan League Training, went to the capital with "The Long-haired Rebel Thief Inside and Outside". Seeing the transactions between long-haired and foreigners listed above, Xianfeng jumped like thunder, scolding long-haired thieves for not knowing etiquette, righteousness and shame, communicating with foreign countries, and betraying their ancestors. Xianfeng scolded coolly, but he didn't realize that he was faintly suspected of scolding the first emperor Daoguang together. Emperor Daoguang was the first person to cede the land back then.

It was because the Manchu Qing Dynasty hated foreigners even more, and Xianfeng even strictly ordered Ye Mingchen to no longer accept the notes from foreigners, and even threatened to close the remaining three treaty ports. Fortunately, Ye Mingchen and other ministers in Jiangnan were still sober, and they all stated that the closure of the port would inevitably anger the foreigners, and they were afraid of causing war. Xianfeng did not have the courage of the later Cixi to declare war on the Eight Kingdoms, so he endured this breath, but he did not know that this time the ministers of Jiangnan were so united, but they now needed foreigners' arms to fight against the Taiping, and at the same time, most of the taxes and grain in Liangguang, Fujian and other places were obtained by exporting goods from the port, and the port was closed for fear that the southeastern provinces would be disrupted when they were established.

In this way, the port was not closed. However, the relations between Britain, France, the United States, and other countries with the Manchus became worse and worse, and they became worse and worse day by day. Therefore, Xiao Yungui was not worried that the foreigners would help the Manchus, on the contrary, as long as the joint dispatch of troops to Russia was negotiated, maybe Britain, France, the United States and other countries would support the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom more vigorously.

Seeing that Xiao Yungui was so determined, Li Kaifang did not dwell on this issue anymore. He has always believed in the king of the west, and even followed him blindly. Because under the command of King Xi, Li Kaifang has never lost a battle. The West Hall is also stronger day by day, and even the Sufu Province under his rule is prosperous, because Li Kaifang never doubted the words of the King of the West.

Xiao Yungui picked up the teacup and continued: "This is the first time that the reorganized new army has gone to war, I hope to play a majestic role, this king wants the Qing demon to see the battle flag of our new army in the future. So Kaifang, don't fall for the majesty of our West Temple. Weakened the name of the new army. ”

Li Kaifang clenched his fists and said loudly: "My subordinates must kill the demon and leave nothing behind!" Li Kaifang's tone was unwavering and full of confidence, and it is no wonder that although only two new divisions were deployed in Ningbo, more than 20,000 men were equipped with the latest Swedish breech-loading rifled guns. At the same time, it is equipped with the latest Western artillery, and all kinds of materials are also the most complete, and even the new military uniforms are distributed to the new 1st and 2nd divisions for the first time.

Moreover, the soldiers of the two new divisions are the elite of the Taiping Army, and after half a year of reorganization and training in the Shanghai Martial Arts School, they are also stimulated by the new military skills, and everyone from the generals to the soldiers is holding their breath. It can be said that even if it is not Li Kaifang who leads the troops, as long as the combat and logistics support of the staff department of the military department can keep up, anyone who leads the troops can win this battle.

Xiao Yungui nodded with satisfaction, patted Li Kaifang's shoulder and said: "Actually, this king also knows that this battle will be won, but I still hope that you can use troops flexibly, and you don't have to stick to the combat jihua of the General Staff, I will wait for your good news in Suzhou." Now that you are a baron of the first rank, if you win this battle, I will make you viscount. Li Kaifang immediately bowed to the ground and thanked him.

After leaving Li Kaifang's mansion, Xiao Yungui rubbed his temples, the foreign wine still had some strength, and he felt his head sink a little as soon as he went out to blow the wind. Tang Erniu, who was riding a horse and following Xiao Yungui on his side, asked cautiously, "His Royal Highness the King of the West, where are we going next?" ”

Xiao Yungui was a little smoky, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I went back to the house, is this king homeless?" ”

Tang Erniu responded, and shouted loudly to the West Hall guards in front: "Go home!" Seeing Xiao Yungui swaying on horseback, Tang Erniu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I see that you are a little drunk, why don't you change to a car or a sedan chair." ”

Since Xiao Yungui returned to this era, he always didn't like to make carriages or sedan chairs, he only felt that he would be dizzy in that closed space, so he had always been riding a horse, and waved his hand angrily at the moment: "Who said that this king is drunk?" Watch the king gallop on horseback! After that, he jerked his crotch and got off the war horse, the war horse neighed in pain, and galloped out quickly, Tang Erniu and other guards were shocked, and hurriedly hit the horse to catch up.

After arriving at the gate of the Xiwang Mansion in a moment, Xiao Yungui ordered the horses, looked back at Tang Erniu who had caught up and said with a smile: "Erniu, do you see that this king is drunk?" ”

Tang Erniu hurriedly said: "Xiwang Shenwei, naturally he won't get drunk." ”

Xiao Yungui looked at the Xiwang Mansion, which had been lit up, touched his chin and said, "Who said that this king is not drunk?" This king is drunk! With that, he turned over and dismounted, stumbling towards the door.

Tang Erniu followed the king of the west for a long time, knowing that the king of the west was pretending to be drunk to win the sympathy of the king of the west, otherwise he was afraid that the day's affairs would not be so easy to take over, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, and shouted at the group of guards: "The king of the west is drunk, why don't you go in and report it quickly?" Come, carry the king of the west back together. "The ginseng guards are also confidants, and they know what Tang Erniu means. At that moment, a few people entered the mansion to report the news, and Tang Erniu took more than ten people to carry Xiao Yungui into the mansion.

But said that Hong Yuner quarreled with Xiao Yungui during the day, and was in a very bad mood, so she lay down in bed early to rest, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and then she suddenly heard a report from the female official outside the door: "West Wang Niang, West King is drunk and has returned home." ”

Hong Yun'er was slightly happy in her heart, she also said that Xiao Yungui really didn't come back tonight, but she didn't expect him to come back, so she wanted to get up and go to see. Thinking of his hateful words and demeanor during the day, he shouted angrily: "I fell asleep, carry him to the wing room in the courtyard next door, don't bother me." ”

Before the words fell, she heard a commotion outside the house, and Hong Yun'er shouted upsetly: "What's the matter? ”

The female official outside the door said, "The guards of the King of the West carried the King of the West in." If you have to break in, the sisters can't stop it. ”

Hong Yun'er's heart was on fire. Get up and put on your clothes. When I opened the door, I saw Tang Erniu and others carrying Xiao Yungui and clamoring to come in, and Hong Yun'er's female guards at the gate of the small courtyard stretched out their hands to stop them, but Tang Erniu and other guards were all five big and three thick men, and they would not suffer a loss if they were in contact with female soldiers, but there was a tendency to take advantage of the opportunity. A group of male guards squeezed towards the female guards. The female guards retreated with red faces, scolding "shameless" in their mouths.

Hong Yun'er snorted coldly: "Tang Erniu, you have a long ability!" ”

Tang Erniu and a male guard and the group of female guards under Xi Wang Niang have a lot of intersections, and there are many pairs of mandarin ducks talking about marriage between the two sides. On weekdays, I am used to laughing, but whether it is a female guard or a male guard, the most feared is still the West Wangniang.

Seeing that Xi Wang Niang came out, everyone stopped, Tang Erniu was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed to the ground and said: "It is a subordinate sin to alarm Xi Wang Niang, please punish Xi Wang Niang." But the king of the west was drunk and asked the queen of the west to take care of him. ”

Hong Yun'er snorted and said, "Carry him into the house, Tang Erniu, a few of you go down and get twenty military sticks!" Then he looked at his group of crimson women's soldiers and said angrily: "What are you afraid of?!" These filthy people dare to do this next time, and you will directly use the flirtatious legs I taught you to root out their children and grandchildren! I see who dares to be presumptuous! ”

Tang Erniu and the other male guards were startled, hurriedly hugged their heads, and went down to lead the army, Xi Wangniang has always done what she said, they don't want to be beaten by a group of women, the pain is small, and the face is big.

Xiao Yungui was carried into the house by several female soldiers and placed on a soft chair, and the guy shouted to himself: "Let go of this king, this king is homeless." ”

Hong Yun'er was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth, went into the house and ordered the female guards to go out, and then lifted a basin of cold water and shone it on Xiao Yungui's head.

Xiao Yungui was drenched and his head was completely wet, and he jumped up from the soft chair at once, and said angrily: "What are you doing? ”

Hong Yun'er said coldly: "How many times have you pretended to be drunk and sympathized?" Then he blushed slightly and said, "I won't change a new trick." ”

Xiao Yungui touched a handful of water droplets on his face, and said with a sneer: "Although the tricks are old, as long as you are willing to let me enter the door." ”

Hong Yun'er flattened her mouth and said, "Is it as miserable as you say?" Homeless? Why don't you go to find your sister Zhou and Sister Mu? ”

Xiao Yungui was wet, untied his belt, and said with a smile: "People don't want me to be a big boss, only our family's Yun'er wants me." ”

Although Hong Yun'er is extremely smart, she always can't do anything about this guy's cheekiness, every time she quarrels, this guy always relies on her invincible cheekiness to coax herself back, and then she said with a straight face: "Okay, people don't want you anymore, so you are willing to come back." Hey, you're just getting wet, why are you taking off your pants? Hey, what do you do? Put me down. ”

Xiao Yungui quickly took off his essence, stepped forward and hugged the jade man in front of him, walked straight to the bed, and said with a smile: "Don't say those uninteresting words, Yun'er, I miss you so much." ”

Hong Yun'er whispered in shame: "No, be careful of hurting the baby." ”

Xiao Yungui put her on the bed and said softly: "I just want to hug you and kiss you, I won't go in." ”

Then the curtain fell, and there were bursts of intimate sounds, and the two finally reconciled, and a storm disappeared, but the matter of Na Wang Niang was still a taboo between the two of them forever. (To be continued......)
