Sanshengshi was so depressed that he vomited blood, every time he met Chen Hao, Chen Hao would use his official position to suppress him. The so-called officials crushed people to death at the first level, Chen Hao ate him to death, and at every turn, the upper officials punished the lower officials. Now he is just a supernumerary, and when he meets Chen Hao, a five-grade official, he should salute according to the rules, if Chen Hao is more serious, he can only suffer a dumb loss.

Chen Hao just scared Sanshengshi, Sanshengshi sent people to inquire about him in Yingkou, and he also arranged for his subordinates to monitor Sanshengshi. Recently, Sanshengshi often went to the Shengjing General's Mansion, and he knew that if he grabbed the handle of Sanshengshi and dealt with Sanshengshi, Zengqi was estimated to be impartial, but he used his official position to suppress Sanshengshi, but he was afraid that Zengqi would not be happy. If Zeng Qi felt that Sanshengshi had been wronged, Chen Hao would have lost a lot if he appointed him to a good official position.

Zeng Qi was very happy to hear his subordinates report that Chen Baxian and Sanshengshi had come to visit, one of these two people gave him a lot of money with knowledge and interest, and the other was that he relied on the barrier to resist the Russians, and he didn't want the two of them to have an awkward relationship. instructed his subordinates to bring the two into the living room, and after the two saw the ceremony, Zengqi smiled and said, "Where did you two come from?" ”

Sanshengshi replied first: "My subordinates came from Jinzhou, and because I got some information, I didn't dare not report it to the general." ”

Zeng Qi was surprised: "What information did you get?" ”

Sanshengshi hurriedly said: "A friend of mine works in the Yingkou Zhili Hall, and told me yesterday that Lord Chen Baxian openly established his own territory in Dongchang Fort, and also recruited private troops. Lord Chen was originally a fellow of the Yingkou Zhili Department, and the entire Yingkou was under his jurisdiction, so he found it strange to recruit subordinates from the private army......"

Zengqi began to have a headache again. Seeing Sanshengshi and Chen Baxian arriving at the same time, he originally thought that the two had turned their rivalry into jade silk, but he didn't expect to bite each other. It was not uncommon for court officials to recruit henchmen to become private soldiers when they held official positions. But it was not normal to openly establish a territory, so Zeng Qi glanced at Chen Hao and said, "Lord Chen, is what Sanshengshi said true?" ”

Chen Hao nodded with a smile and said: "It's completely true, the adults gave me some machines last time, and Lafayette ordered me to divide a part of the machines from the Jilin Machinery Bureau to Yingkou to build an arsenal." Now the two palaces are still in Chang'an, and no one in the imperial court has come to assist me in building an arsenal, so in order to quickly build an arsenal to produce guns and ammunition to deal with the Russians, my subordinates had to set aside a piece of land in Dongchangbao to build a factory. Because I'm worried that there will be villains who will confuse the public into accusing me of being black. The subordinates hurried to Shengjing to report to the adults, and hoped that the adults would be aware of it. ”

Zeng Qi nodded and said: "I remember, last time I promised to win the battle, I asked you to drag the machine to Yingkou, you dragged the bullet production line over, and the gun maintenance machinery is in the warehouse, this time since you came, drag it together!" ”

Chen Hao said gratefully: "Thank you, sir!" In addition to reporting to the adults this time, there is another thing that my subordinates hope for your help. Those Western machinery all use electricity. There is no thermal power plant in Yingkou, so my subordinates ask my subordinates to allow me to go to Yingkou by connecting the cable from Shengjing so that the arsenal can be operational. ”

Zeng Qi thought for a moment and said: "You built the arsenal to resist the enemy, I can let you use electricity, but after you build the arsenal and put it into production, if there is a surplus of guns and ammunition, I will send some of it to Shengjing." General Ben is good to equip the other battalions. ”

Chen Hao said with a difficult face: "My lord, there are nine battalions of soldiers at the entrance of the camp, and many of the battalions are short of guns and bullets, and I am afraid that there will be no surplus in the short term." ”

Zeng Qi waved his hand and said, "For the time being, Lord Ben doesn't want your guns and bullets, and I will talk about it when you develop the arsenal." Speaking of which, the imperial court of your Yingkou battalions has already given preferential treatment. are also inhuman, and Sanshengshi recruits soldiers in Jinzhou to raise their own salaries. Firearms are also prepared by yourself, if you have the ability to act as a foil for yourself. ”

Sanshengshi was crazy with jealousy after hearing that Chen Hao could build an arsenal, and every player knew that the Huaxia Arsenal was the most important building. It is no exaggeration to say that with a certain size of arsenal, even the stupidest player can develop a large number of troops.

I regretted hearing that Zengqi provided Chen Hao with the machine Sansheng Stone, and regretted that I didn't invest a little more in Zengqi to get the machine. Zeng Qi opened his mouth to ask Chen Hao to provide guns and ammunition, but Sanshengshi saw the opportunity, and he hurriedly said: "If the adults give me the machine and I will build an arsenal in Huludao, I will definitely pay half of the guns and ammunition to the adults every month." ”

Zeng Qi glanced at Sanshengshi and said: "It is the will of the Queen Mother that Chen Ba first establishes the arsenal, and this official will strongly support it." Moreover, most of the machines he built the arsenal came from the Jilin Machinery Bureau, and although the machines provided to him by this official were quite numerous, they were only machines for producing bullets and repairing firearms, and even if they were all given to you, you would not be able to produce guns. ”

If Zeng Qi can make a decision, of course he is willing to hand over the arsenal to Sanshengshi, because there is a lot of oil and water in the arsenal. Although this Chen Baxian can fight, he can't be a man, and he has gained a lot of benefits and has never given him money to Lord Zengqi. If Sanshengshi is allowed to build an arsenal, the guns and ammunition sent every month are sold to Inhumans, which is a lot of income.

It's a pity that Zeng Qi doesn't have this power, although he is high in front of Chen Hao and Sanshengshi, he will never dare to disobey the will of the Empress Dowager Cixi. After the Yingkou Arsenal started running, as long as Chen Hao didn't nod, even if he was a general of Shengjing, he wouldn't be able to move the arsenal at all, after all, Chen Hao was very important in Cixi's heart, and Cixi did not hesitate to give up negotiations for him.

Sanshengshi wanted to tell Zengqi that he wanted it even if he only had a bullet production line, but unfortunately he knew that it was useless to say it, and the damn Chen Ba took all the benefits away from the front first.

Zeng Qi originally thought that Chen Hao and Sanshengshi came together, but now he knows that the two just met by chance at the door, and Sanshengshi sued the black, but he was afraid that the relationship between the two would be even more stiff. He glanced at Sanshengshi and said, "Sanshengshi, you have a lot of misunderstandings about Lord Chen, don't target Lord Chen in the future, you should cooperate with Lord Chen." ”

Sanshengshi said with a bitter face: "My subordinates understand. ”

Just when Chen Hao was gloating, Zeng Qi said to him: "Lord Chen is broad-minded, of course, he will not be as knowledgeable as the junior of Sanshengshi, although Sanshengshi is very offensive to you, but it is also a heart for the country." So be it! Today, the official will be a peacemaker for the two of you, and the two of you don't have to quarrel anymore. The official took out 200 rifles to support Sanshengshi, and Lord Chen, as the Shangguan, also took out 200 rifles to support the Huludao security camp! ”

Zeng Qi's words made Chen Hao and Sanshengshi very unhappy, and Sanshengshi accidentally became Chen Hao's junior, making him eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. Chen Hao's heart was even more unhappy, and Zengqi asked him to take two hundred rifles and hand them over to Sanshengshi than to kill him. Not to mention two hundred rifles, it is impossible for him to give two rifles to Sansheng Shi, but if he refutes it now, he will lose face for Zengqi.

Chen Hao had no choice but to adopt delaying tactics; "The nine battalions under my command are not fully equipped so far, if the arsenal starts to produce, my subordinates will definitely bring their juniors and let people send 200 rifles to Huludao."

Sanshengshi was choked by Chen Hao's "juniors" and rolled his eyes, and he arched his hand towards Zengqi; "Thank you, thank you for your kindness! It's just that Lord Chen is insincere, and he doesn't mean to give away the Xiaguan rifle, so don't be reluctant. ”

Zeng Qi glanced at Chen Hao with a displeased face and said, "Lord Chen, no matter what you say, your subordinates have thousands of guns, and the official also gave you 1,200 a few days ago." Now that you are asked to take out 200 rifles to support your colleagues, how can you be embarrassed by such pushing? If you don't hand over 200 rifles to Sansheng Stone within a month, then you will report directly to the Queen Mother in the future, and you don't have to pay attention to the official anymore, anyway, the Queen Mother appreciates you very much......"

Zengqi was really angry after being refuted, and every sentence was a heart-wrenching statement. The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, Chen Hao is favored by the Empress Dowager Cixi, he is in Shengjing, and he is under the jurisdiction of the Shengjing General's Mansion. If he offends Zengqi in death, Zengqi will give him small shoes to wear at any time, for example, if he establishes a base area and is exaggerated by Zengqi and reported it, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

In desperation, Chen Hao had no choice but to give up: "My subordinates don't dare to shirk, after I go back, I will prepare two hundred rifles, and I will definitely give them to Sansheng Stone within a month." ”

Zengqi laughed; "I knew that Lord Chen was willing to give me this face, and today the two of you turned into a jade silk, which is worth celebrating, so stay in my general's mansion and drink!"

Sanshengshi saw that Chen Hao pinched his nose and recognized two hundred rifles for himself, and he was in a very happy mood, and felt that it was worth it to be called a few juniors. He arched his hand towards Chen Hao and said, "Thank you Lord Chen for your generosity, and the lower officials are grateful." ”

Chen Hao tilted his head to the side, it was absolutely impossible for him to take two hundred rifles and hand them over to Sanshengshi, and he didn't want Zengqi to continue to stay in Mukden. Sanshengshi spent a lot of thought on Zengqi, and now Zengqi has attached great importance to him, and when the "Xinchou Treaty" is signed, Zengqi does not need him to fight, and then he will be more biased towards Sanshengshi.

Chen Hao can't bribe Zengqi as vigorously as Sanshengshi, although he has a lot of money now, he is not willing to spend it indiscriminately. He handed over the property he brought back from the capital to Tang Qunying to help deal with it, and he would not use the money after the sale until it was absolutely necessary.

Bribing NPCs like Zengqi is a bottomless pit, and Sanshengshi is just a non-staff person, maybe bribing thousands of oceans can satisfy Zengqi. Chen Hao is a fellow acquaintance of the Yingkou Zhili Hall, and he has more power in his hands, and if he goes to bribe, he will not be able to impress Zengqi without tens of thousands of oceans.

The key is that Chen Hao is not interested in being promoted now, he just wants to continue to serve in Yingkou, and he can't get the corresponding benefits by bribing Zengqi. is reluctant to spend money and bribes, and serving under Zengqi is a little difficult for Chen Hao.

The best solution is to transfer Zengqi away, but Zengqi is a member of the imperial court, and it is not so easy to be taken down, so it takes a lot of effort to transfer him away.
