"Brother Wen has this retribution, why don't you face the old Taishan? You need to know that you can't write two "Gu" words in one stroke, and if you want to gain a foothold in this Lingnan area, it is not easy to leave the family to help! Li Fushou turned his head and looked at Gu Zhiwen thoughtfully, and his words did not go around the corner and pointed straight to the core.

"Your Majesty, please help me." Gu Zhiwen shook his face solemnly.

In the Gu family, Gu Zhiwen took Tang Zhaoyi to Queensland more than 10 years ago, and visited various towns in the south, as well as Sydney and Melbourne, and personally felt the vastness and richness of Australia, so he clearly knew how big the scene of the Ocean Kingdom was.

It's useless to pray to God and worship Buddha all over the world, this is the true god in front of you, that is a hundred times more than the second uncle Gu Yanchuan, the governor of Liangguang Niu Cha, no matter what is the rank of Wenyuan Pavilion scholar, the prince Taibao, and the yellow coat, that is also a slave of the Qing Dynasty.

Li Fushou is different, he is the lord of the country, and Prince Yiyun is inferior to him.

Seeing Gu Zhiwen so solemn, Li Fushou waved his hand at the door of the room, asking the secretary Li Siyi to block the left and right people, and he wanted to talk to this Zhiwen brother alone.

A moment later

A pot of fragrant tea, sitting opposite two people.

Li Fushou took a sip of the teacup and said; "There is no one else here, if my brother-in-law has something to say, it is not safe, right or wrong, that is, the two of us will discuss it, although it is good to express our hearts directly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, you know that I was originally a lazy person when I was young, and I was not keen on my career, but my trip to Australia had a great impact on me, and when I saw that people can still live in such a wonderful way in their lives, the world view has changed drastically." Gu Zhiwen looked embarrassed, as if he felt sorry for the ridiculous time he spent when he was young, and then stared at Li Fushou and said seriously;

"As soon as I entered the career and tasted the taste of power like fine wine, I could never give it up. I am no longer the Gu Zhiwen who was obsessed with the wind and snow and the moon and traveled leisurely in the mountains and forests.

I have changed, I have become unwilling to be mediocre, I have become ambitious, and even the second uncle Gu Yanchuan can't be satisfied with my appetite, so I can only come to Your Majesty. ”

A Guangdong Xuanwei envoy from the third grade can't be satisfied, so it seems that the commander of the third grade can't be satisfied either, do you want a general soldier of the second grade?

Hehe...... Ambitious?

Li Fushou is not afraid of any big ambition, so that he has the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain, but he is afraid that his ambition is not big, and he is a loyal dog of the Manchu court, so there is no fun.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty, I don't stay in Guangdong to fight for anything, here is the foundation of the second uncle, after all, it will be left to the second room head to learn my brother, in Beijing for a few years to do the right capital imperial history, wait until the second uncle resigned, to the younger brother to take over the post of governor of Guangdong, to undertake tens of thousands of elite soldiers and deep political and business connections, the governor of Guangdong and the governor of Guangxi echo each other, even if it is the next governor of Guangxi and Guangzhou, it can be empty." Gu Zhiwen has been up and down in the sea for many years, and he still has this knowledge.

In addition, some of Gu Fu's private arrangements were not hidden from him, and it was easy to introduce the general context, but there were two key points in this;

One is Gu Zhixue, the imperial history of the right capital, and he will take advantage of the situation to win the important post of governor of Guangdong in the future.

One is Li Ping, the chief soldier of Guangxi, who will take advantage of the situation to fill the important post of governor of Guangxi in the future, and there is nothing to do with him.

How much can a small propaganda envoy from Sanpin Guangdong, at best, be equivalent to the deputy commander of the Guangdong Provincial Military Region and the commander of the garrison in the Zhaoqing area, in the layout of the second room?

After a pause, Gu Zhiwen continued; "Therefore, I want to go to the northern part of Vietnam to seek another development, just ask General Li Ping to withdraw from the north of Vietnam, with the resources accumulated over the years, I am sure that I can make the operation of the north of Vietnam impervious, we have a Guangxi, a Guangdong, a three-legged stand in the north of Vietnam, there is a strong reinforcement of the ocean kingdom outside, and there is the dignity of the Qing Dynasty inside, and after decades, this Lingnan is another scenery."

"To Brother Wen, the North of Vietnam is not good, the French Expeditionary Force may make a moth at any time, the war is together, the lives are ruined, and there is nothing to be gained!"

"Your Majesty, I have thought about the north of Vietnam, as long as I take the Wuwei rear army away, with 10,000 strong soldiers in my hands, I will train another 10,000 elite soldiers to come out, plus the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi are mutual aid, I can ensure that the territory of northern Vietnam is not lost." When Gu Zhiwen said this, he said to Li Fushou with a sincere expression; "I have two sons, Yanqing Yanxi, one seventeen and one thirteen, I hope Your Majesty can bring them to teach them day and night, I am willing to do enough!"

Wow, mesoprotons?

Do you want to make it so serious?

Li Fushou's heart moved slightly, no matter what, this is Gu Zhiwen's formal attitude, he is still very useful in his heart, whether it is a brother-in-law or a relative, his attitude must be shown in this kind of major event, otherwise why should people help you?

After only a moment's silence, he said decisively;

"It's no problem for Li Ping to withdraw from northern Vietnam, but if you want to take the Wuwei rear army away, you have to ask the opinion of the old Taishan and transfer it in the name of changing guards, so that you can also explain it in the court, so as not to be criticized by the villain.

If we really make this determination, we will not be able to return to the two regions in the future.

The so-called brothers, settle accounts.

The connections you have been operating here for more than ten years have been transferred to the second room, I believe that they will not treat you badly, and your subordinates can be brought to North Vietnam to develop, but I think the Wuwei Houjun should be the biggest support of the Gu family, and I can't expect too much else.

The most important thing is that there should be a trade route from the north to the port of Guangdong, and money is indispensable for the development of the garrison, have you ever thought about it? ”

"To the scholarly and shallow, please advise Your Majesty."

"I can't talk about advice, it's good that there is such a large area in the north of Vietnam, and the population is more than 3 million, of which the proportion of Chinese expatriates is very high, I mean that there are people who have soldiers, there are taxes, and we have to find a way to immigrate some people to the past, and only when the population of the main ethnic group is stable, can the regional situation be stable."

Li Fushou's slender fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and after thinking for a while, he asked; "How much money can you have?"

"If you don't hide it from Your Majesty, it will be less than 200,000 taels of snowflake silver if you smash the pot and sell iron."

"Oh, that's a little bit of money! There are many mountains and few plains in the northern part of Vietnam, and there are often some long and narrow valleys that can be cultivated, and only to the south of Cao Bang Province can there be large plains, and the army can develop the fields and use the fields instead of food and pay to feed the troops, and only when the army's morale is stable can it stand on its feet. Li Fushou helped to give advice and said intimately;

"Well, Australia has just experienced a bitter bloody war, and the kingdom has pulled down a deficit of tens of millions of pounds, and there is not much money to support you for the time being.

You are brother-in-law, I will raise you 100,000 pounds to solve your urgent needs, and support you with a batch of captured weapons and equipment, the same amount is 20,000 foreign guns, plus 30 artillery, and you will have to buy the money for ammunition.

I will also send you the military instructors you need from Australia, and I will support you with 100 experienced colonial officers for civil affairs.

How far you can go depends on your own means. ”

Gu Zhiwen was inexplicably grateful when he heard this, stood up and took a step back, and then slammed it to the ground; "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will never forget it."

"Okay, you and I are relatives, don't be polite, and show you a clear way, the queen has a lot of money, whether you can coax her to be happy and share the profits, it depends on your ability."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing the way." Gu Zhiwen's happy mouth couldn't close.

The one in front of him is the existence of a rich and rival country, since he agrees with his mother's family to go to Queen Gu Liuyan to fight the autumn breeze, it is enough to eat inexhaustibly if his fingers are leaked.

As the eldest brother who is more than 10 years older, Gu Zhiwen can be said to have watched his younger sister grow up, his personality and temper are clear, and he has been soft and unpersuadable since he was a child.
