"I can't imagine that you are so young and have such knowledge."

After Zhang Zhidong drank the medicine, he praised Yu Ke.

He just complained a few words to vent the frustration in his heart, but he didn't expect to get a sharp point.

Zhang Zhidong then sighed again and asked:

"I have been in charge of the governorship of Liangguang for more than a month, and I see that the French army is about to arrive on the coast of Guangdong, but I have not a single soldier under my command. The generals of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army also support their own troops, and they don't pay attention to my yang and yin violations, what do you think I should do? ”

"With the means and talents you showed when you dealt with the famine in Shanxi, I think you should have a way, but you are not willing to do that." Yu Ke said lightly.

"Oh? What do you tell me I should do? Zhang Zhidong asked rhetorically.

"Uncle Zhang, the dilemma you are facing is nothing more than three aspects: manpower, money, and ordnance."

"In terms of manpower, in fact, Uncle Zhang brought his hands from Shanxi to get off work, not to mention how strong his ability is, at least it can be used. However, the land of Liangguang is vast and populous, almost half of the entire Jiangnan region. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on a few of your men to take charge of the two Guangzhous. ”

"In terms of money, in recent years, the rivers of the Qing Dynasty have been declining, the people's livelihood has been eroded, and the armament has been slack."

But fortunately, Emperor Daoguang opened the sea, and the imperial treasury gradually filled. This time, Cixi sent you to serve as the governor of Liangguang to prepare the military, although the money and food will be given, but it will not be much, it is estimated that it is not enough. ”

"In terms of ordnance, in recent years, the armaments in various places have been eroded, and local generals have rebelled and become self-reliant from time to time, although the Huai army and the Hunan army have not rebelled, but it is probably difficult to get the two armies to obey your command."

"And even if you have two armies in power, it will not be easy to repel the French army."

"After the industrial revolution in recent years, the military strength of Western countries is much stronger than ours, and their strong ships and cannons are more advanced, with a farther range, greater power and speed than ours."

"Even the firearms, our firearms battalion still uses arquebuses, which are too backward! As early as more than ten years ago, France was updated to a firing pistol, which has great power, long range, high accuracy, fast reload speed, and low attrition rate. ”

"That's right, that's true. But I want to know more about what do you think I should do? Zhang Zhidong asked.

Yu Ke stared at Zhang Zhidong's eyes, was silent for a while, and said bluntly: "Heaven and Earth Society, Black Flag Army." ”

In the history of his previous life, Zhang Zhidong relied on the help of Liu Yongfu of the Black Flag Army of the Heaven and Earth Society to secure the position of the governor of Liangguang.

Although the matter of collusion with the Heaven and Earth Society caused criticism in the imperial court, and there were countless twists and turns in the impeachment of Zhang Zhidong, they were all suppressed by Cixi and ignored.

Cixi also understood that the Heaven and Earth Society would not be like the Kangxi Dynasty when it was all over the world and had great influence.

Now it is a piece of scattered sand, and the infighting is serious, and it can't become any climate.

Moreover, before Zhang Zhidong cooperated with the Heaven and Earth Society, he had already written a letter to explain the benefits and disadvantages, and she also acquiesced.

With the help of the Black Flag Army of the Heaven and Earth Society, Zhang Zhidong gradually gained a firm foothold, and in the name of the governor, he successfully grasped the power of the two majorities.

"Heaven and earth will rebel against thieves?" Zhang Zhidong's eyes were shining, and he sneered, "You kid is not small! ”

Yu Ke laughed: "The Black Flag Army of the Heaven and Earth Society is a benevolent and righteous man, not a thief and the like. The imperial court didn't bother to send troops to exterminate it. ”

Zhang Zhidong nodded: "What you said is right, that's exactly what I planned." As long as Liu Yongfu accepts Zhao'an, he will naturally not be regarded as a thief. ”

"I have already gone to the court to explain this matter, and with me as a matchmaker, this matter has been completed."

Zhang Zhidong showed a tired look: "Okay, I'm a little tired, you can go out." ”

Yu Ke nodded, picked up the medicine box, walked out of the bedroom, and gently closed the door.

As soon as he closed the door, he saw a beautiful girl with clear eyes and clean teeth, poking her head out of the boudoir on the second floor and looking at him quietly.

Yu Ke was relieved, and arched his hand: "Miss Zhang." ”

But the girl was like a frightened rabbit, quickly dodged back, and closed the window with a 'snap'.

Yu Ke touched his nose. Am I so scary?

Zhang Shuyuan hid behind the window and covered his face with a blush: "He saw me!" ”

The maid Xiaolan said: "How is it?" Miss. Is it as tall as I said? ”

Zhang Shuyuan nodded shyly: "He is my fiancé?" ”

Xiaolan grinned and said, "Yes, my uncle looks as strong as a cow, Miss is blessed!" ”

Zhang Shuyuan glared at Xiaolan: "Where did you learn the nonsense?" ”

"From the book that Miss secretly read at night." Xiao Lan teasingly pointed to a book on the table, ""Jin...", I just recognize those words!" ”

"Ah, you little prodigal, I'm going to rip your mouth and make you talk nonsense......"

The girl was so embarrassed when she heard this, she pounced on her and quarreled with her personal maid.

……

Half a month later, Zhang Zhidong, who had recovered his body, was going to return to the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion to deal with government affairs, regardless of Yu Ke and Zhang Sheng's obstruction.

Yu Ke couldn't stop it, so he could only personally grab more than a dozen pairs of medicines, hand them to Zhang Zhidong's maid, and tell her to let Zhang Zhidong take the medicine on time.

Time is like water, and soon it will be the day when Yu Ke will get married.

On this day, both Yufu and Zhangfu were lit up.

In Yufuzhong, before the sedan chair goes out, it first worships the "sedan chair god" with clean tea and four-color pastries.

Subsequently, the six matchmakers led the welcoming team out of the gate of Yufu. Along the way, the sound of firecrackers is endless, and the red lanterns open the way, blowing and blowing along the way, and sending joy candy to onlookers-by.

After arriving at Zhang's mansion, the bride knocked on the door of Zhang's mansion, put the bride on her back in a sedan chair, and returned to Yufu.

Yu Ke, the groom official, was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, with a red flower woven of silk and satin on his chest, waiting in the front hall, looking magnificent.

When the bride was taken to Yufu, got off the sedan chair, stepped over the brazier, and walked to the hall with the groom holding one end of the red knot.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Second worship high hall!"

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

……

At night, Yu Ke, who was full of alcohol, came to the door of the cave room and pushed the door open with some trembling.

Because he drank well enough, he directly drank down those relatives and friends who wanted to come to the cave room and listen to the roots of the wall, so no one came to join in the fun.

Yu Ke closed the door, walked to the side of the bed step by step, carefully lifted the red hijab, and a delicate and slightly green face came into view.

The girl's face was painted with delicate makeup, which added a bit of beauty, and she sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at Yu Ke, her eyes a little shy.

Yu Ke's breathing was slightly short, and he was a little overwhelmed: "Zhang... Wife. ”

Although I talked about a few girlfriends in my previous life, it was the first time I got married, and my wife was still a top beauty I didn't know, so it was impossible not to be nervous.

However, Zhang Shuyuan pursed his red lips, his autumn eyes were like water, and his voice was as sharp as a yellow bird: "Husband, drink a glass of wine first." ”

Zhang Shuyuan took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and handed it to Yu Ke.

After drinking a glass of wine, Yu Ke was not so nervous, and hugged the girl's willow waist a little domineeringly, looked at each other, and kissed it slowly.

"Whe~"

Gently untie the shirt, and the red yarn will be brushed off.

Outside, the moon hangs high and the breeze is gentle.

The spring night tent in the house is warm, and the candles add incense.

All in silence.
