3-10 Messengers of Peace
"Sister Hu knows this, why didn't she stop Cui Shangshu just now?" As soon as the words came out, Peng Jingrong knew that she was speechless, it was okay to play arguing, and it was really unseemly to detain the ship of the Ministry of War for no reason.
"If Cui Chengxiu doesn't give way, I really dare to knock over his official ship, let this guy fall into the water and get sick for a while, and win a little time for Yuan Dudu, but this guy is also well-behaved, can bend and stretch, and actually retreated, so that I can't get angry." Hu Yimin was still a little angry when he remembered what happened just now.
"Since you can't stop him, why provoke an enemy, I heard that Cui Shangshu is a villain who will be revenged, and no matter how famous Rishengchang is, he can't make enemies everywhere." Peng Jingrong was a little worried about Hu Da's shopkeeper.
"Since I was a child, my father warned me that everything can be lost, only two things can not be lost, one is reputation, the other is face, reputation naturally needless to say, face is very particular, clothing, food, housing and transportation can not be left behind, as long as you do not encroach on the royal specifications and incest, you must do your best, why? Because we are the richest businessmen in the world, those salt merchants and mine owners who are envied by the world and have huge fortunes can only be ashamed of themselves in front of our Hu family, so that the people of the world can believe in us and dare to deposit the silver in our ticket number. The sun rises to have more silver to operate. Hu Yimin talked eloquently, "So today I made up my mind to make way for Cui Chengxiu, on the one hand, I want to help Yuan Dudu, on the other hand, it is for the sake of Rishengchang's face, the boatmen present today will naturally spread the story of the defeat of the military department to Rishengchang, and the people will trust us more Rishengchang, because we are more powerful than the military department, such as the sun, what ticket number can be safer than us?" More assured? As for making enemies, Cui Chengxiu is Huang Jinrong's person, and the relationship between Ri Shengchang and the Queen Mother is so close, there is no need to make enemies. ”
As it sees, this principle is very similar to the style of the Western rich in the 21st century, who have to buy the most fashionable and luxurious yachts and jets, regardless of whether they are short of money or not, to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, just to prove their strength to the banks and the world. Otherwise, the bank will not lend to him, and the business partners will doubt his ability to cash in on him. Liu Ziguang really admired Miss Hu's father, Hu Xueyan.
During the conversation, breakfast had been eaten, several people left the restaurant and returned to the main hall, and a subordinate handed over a letter and said: "The secret letter from Beijing sent by the fast boat, please take a look at the big shopkeeper." ”
Hu Yimin didn't shy away from everyone, took out the letter paper, put on silver wire crystal glasses and looked at ten lines at a glance, it turned out that Hu Da's shopkeeper was short-sighted, Liu Ziguang wondered, how could the eyes of myopia still be so shiny and bright.
After reading the letter, Hu Yimin stood up and said, "There is something in Beijing, I have to rush there immediately, and I won't leave you for lunch." ”
The three of them also said that they had been in Beijing for a long time, and they were like arrows, so they didn't dare to delay too long on the road, so don't leave it at that.
When he was about to get off the boat, Liu Ziguang suddenly turned around and said to the shopkeeper Hu who sent it: "The milk is so delicious, can the shopkeeper Hu give me a bucket?" ”
Hu Yimin said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, I'll let my subordinates arrange it when I go back, by the way, your Lian Feng is all over the place, if there is news of the four calligraphy and paintings stolen from the palace, don't report to the official, notify me first, I will come forward to buy them, I have already taken a fancy to the calligraphy and paintings of the Queen Mother, and I will ask her old man for it and give it to me." ”
Liu Ziguang felt weak for a while, didn't dare to look at Hu Yimin's eyes, and replied vaguely: "Thank you for the big shopkeeper's milk, I wrote down the calligraphy and painting." The group disembarked and got back to their paddle steamer in a dinghy.
What kind of big shopkeeper's milk, that's cow's milk, Hu Yimin's face blushed, and he waved goodbye. A black and white cow was wrapped in canvas and hung on a loading pole and placed on a small boat, which was then hoisted and put away by the crane pole on the ironworks ship here. Good guy, the people Rishengchang is generous, and he directly sent a cow over.
Bidding farewell to the Iron Salamander and entering the canal waterway, the paddle steamer burned enough steam to overtake the slow-moving boat and go straight to Xuzhou Mansion. Liu Ziguang sat in the cabin and pondered, if Yuan Chonghuan really wanted to be asked by the imperial court, would he be executed by Ling Chi like in history? In that case, do you want to rescue him before the situation deteriorates?
*******************************************************************
"Yuan Chonghuan must die!" In the cabin of the official ship of the Ministry of War, a middle-aged man wearing a square scarf and a scribe's robe said firmly to Lord Choi Seung-so-shangshu, his tone was unquestionable, and he was by no means like the look of his staff when he gave advice to the commander.
"Can Mr. Fan really represent the meaning of the north?" Cui Chengxiu said indifferently, picking up the tea bowl and blowing it.
"The dignified prince and prince of the Qing Dynasty have all arrived on your ship, what else is there to worry about? What's more, there is also Prince Rui's handwritten letter, and the prince's personality is not that Lord Cui doesn't know, it is true to his word! As long as you behead Yuan Chonghuan before the battle, and avenge Prince Rui's killing of his brother, my country will definitely retreat to the north of the Yellow River in Jinan. "Mr. Fan's words are very demagogic.
Cui Chengxiu's beard trembled slightly imperceptibly, and he quickly took a sip of tea to hide his excitement, this is not the first time he has heard Mr. Fan say this, but every time he hears it, he can't help but be excited, the temptation of this plan is too great.
In addition to Yuan Chonghuan in the name of disadvantage, he not only got the command of the elite Xuzhou Army, but also killed the old opponent who had always had a gap. What if the army and civilians bounce back? Don't worry, under the wise command of his Cui Shangshu, Dolgon's Qing army will definitely retreat without a fight in accordance with the secret agreement, the Ming army can quickly recover Tai'an and Jinan, and the battle line will advance to the bank of the Yellow River.
"The Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are a state of brothers, why bother to use swords and soldiers, since the prince came out of the mountain, he has been angry about the emperor's unauthorized southern expedition, and the villain who bewitched His Majesty has been beheaded by the prince, now it depends on your country, behead the militant Yuan Chonghuan, and our two countries can rule across the river and enjoy peace forever." Mr. Fan suddenly got up, his hands behind his back, and his eyes looked out the window with a sincere desire for a peaceful life.
"In the north under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, men and women weave, singing and dancing, everyone lives a happy life of prosperity and health, because of a small handful of militants for their own selfish interests, the land of Qilu is full of mourning, the people are displaced, and the day is precarious. The responsibility for ending the war is on you and me, as long as Yuan Chonghuan, a barbarian from Guangdong, dies, the prince's wish is over, and he can explain to those ministers in the country, we will not die a soldier, and we will return to a peaceful life without spending a single penny, why not? ”
"Yes, Yuan Chonghuan must die!" Cui Shangshu was moved by the beautiful scene depicted by Mr. Fan, and slapped the table firmly and made up his mind.
"Mr. Fan rest assured, my official worships the deputy governor of the Fifth Army of the Soldier Department of Wuyingdian University, and has the sword of Shang Fang in his hand, Yuan Manzi will definitely not be able to escape from my palm, once he will succeed, for his surname Yuan to become a knight, he will sacrifice the lives of countless soldiers, and he will put the people of Shandong in fire and water, such a selfish and cruel person, this official will definitely not spare him, it is light to behead him, I haven't counted it for him to be greedy for so much northern salary." Choi Seung-so said angrily, slamming the teacup on the table to express the anger in his heart.
"Wen Cheng has thanked Master Cui for millions of fathers and elders in Shandong and more than 100,000 soldiers in the Qing Dynasty!" Mr. Fan lifted his robe and bowed.
"Hurry up, please don't do it!" Cui Chengxiu hurriedly helped, his heart was happy, Fan Wencheng was the prince and prince of the Qing Dynasty, and his official rank was much higher than him, such people bowed down to him, which shows how high his prestige is. At the same time, he also sighed at the courage of Fan Wencheng, in order to negotiate peace, such a big official position was in danger alone, and it was really admirable to go deep into the enemy country.
"For the sake of peace, for the Ming and Qing dynasties to no longer fight, not to mention one Yuan barbarian, it is ten hundred, and the official can also be killed!" Cui Shangshu picked up Fan Wencheng, looked into the other party's eyes, and said word by word.
"Okay, Master Cui deserves to be a true hero. This is a little meaning that Prince Rui gave you, and I hope to smile. Fan Wencheng gently put a gift slip into Cui Chengxiu's hand.
"How can you be embarrassed to let the prince spend so much." Choi Seung-so took the gift slip and stuffed it into his sleeve.
"Master Cui is so refreshing, there is a small gift for the next." Fan Wencheng smiled slyly.
"Mr. Fan also has a gift, and no matter how bold he is to give this official, he will not dare to refuse." Cui Chengxiu said pretendly, Prince Rui must have given some vulgar things such as gold and jade jewelry, this Fan Wencheng is an elegant person, his gift must be extraordinary, Cui Shangshu's eyes widened and he was ready to see what kind of strange gift it was.
Fan Wencheng laughed and said, "Lord Cui was humiliated by the yellow-haired girl who ascended to Chang that day in the morning, is it just so good?" ”
Cui Chengxiu's eyes lit up, "Sir, what is the best way to help the official hate it?" "This Fan Wencheng is the No. 1 think tank in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and with his advice, he will definitely make the Hu family girl suffer a lot.
"Fan has a plan that can cause Rishengchang to suffer a big loss, and may even collapse. But Cui Shangshu is required to cooperate with the action in the capital. Fan Wencheng said confidently.
"Although the power of Rishengchang in the capital is not as good as Hefei, but it is not underestimated, Mr. Fan may not know, the mother of the Hu family girl is the sister of the current queen mother, although in the early years because of following the poor scholar Hu Xueyan was expelled from the Li family wall, but the queen mother is this sister, sisterhood is deep, and the queen mother has nothing to do with her knees, and she loves the girl a lot, so she has the title of princess, if it is not a few years older, maybe the queen mother can let the emperor marry this girl as the queen." Choi Seung-so said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, Fan's strategy, even the immortals can't save her. According to my information, Rishengchang recently paid a large amount of cash to the Ministry of War, and there must not be much silver in the Beijing branch, and the adults can make hundreds of people go to the money village with silver tickets to exchange cash, which is understandable and justified, Fan's subordinates will release the words in the teahouse and wine shop in the capital, saying that Rishengchang is not enough money and is facing bankruptcy. There are many rich people in the capital, who doesn't have a few silver tickets, one to ten, ten to hundred, plus to see the brigade at the gate of Rishengchang, the fake has become true. They don't have time to allocate money and can only close the door, and closing the door will cause civil unrest, and civil unrest will break out, and the queen mother can't help him, which is the first; If the silver ship is transferred from Hefei, our military aircraft department can send personnel to intercept and kill halfway, hide the silver, and then hand it over to the adults when the wind and waves are calm, and then hand it over to the adults to deal with, and the silver in Hefei will be transferred out, and we can send people to Hefei to line up to exchange cash. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and if Rishengchang can't escape this catastrophe, he may really go bankrupt. ”
Sure enough, it is a good strategy, interlocking, and the most important thing is that there is no risk, you only need to send people to line up to exchange silver, and leave the other things to Fan Wencheng's people to do. A hint of laughter lines floated to the corners of Cui Chengxiu's mouth, "Just according to what Mr. said." Mr.'s gift Cui loves tightly, thank you here. ”
Cui Chengxiu arched his hand at Fan Wencheng, and the two laughed tacitly, their eyes flashing with a vision of peace and trust in each other.
After discussing the military aircraft, Fan Wencheng got up and went back to his cabin, a white-clothed guard at the door followed closely, Fan Wencheng suddenly thought of something, turned around and patted the guard on the shoulder: "Qingfeng, after this great success, I can give you a few days of vacation to deal with your private affairs, and my guards can also be handed over to you to send, but before that, don't act rashly and miss a big event." ”
The white-clothed guard took a deep breath, the knife under the city of Liguo left a deep scar on his chest, and the subsequent galloping of ten thousand horses made him almost die in the army of ten thousand horses, fortunately a dead horse pressed on his body to escape the catastrophe and survived, but after going back, the position of the military machine Zhang Jing was gone, and he could only start from the guard, and the strong sense of revenge made him gladly accept the task of guarding Fan Wencheng in the south, because he could have the opportunity to take revenge. "Don't worry, my lord, Song knows the severity and will not take revenge before the big thing is done."
It turned out to be Liu Ziguang's old acquaintance, the immortal Wudang young man Song Qingfeng.

Who dares to say anything about the unification of China and the great integration of the nation, don't blame me for being welcome, a traitor like Fan Wencheng must die a miserable death!
