Chapter 449: Gunshots (I)

In the inner house of the governor's yamen, Yuqing's coat had been taken off, and she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, enjoying her husband's massage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Chokedo Hall...... This play is really provocative...... Below, a little below...... Put some more effort on your hands. ”

"That's a lot to ask for." Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "When I pressed the jade for them, they were very embarrassed, and they didn't dare to say a word, only you, pick the fat and pick the thin." ”

"I'm Gege, and I also called Brother Emperor Xian, and now when King Alcohol sees me, he also has to call out Tenth Sister, of course it's different from them." Yuqing snorted triumphantly, and then exhaled a long breath

"It's a pity, I'm a character, I'm probably getting you in trouble now. With me, you are the one who has the same heart as Dajin, and those Ge Ming parties regard you as a thorn in their side, if you are willing to kill your wife and beg for a general, as they say. Maybe they'll make you a governor? ”

"To hell, I won't do anything, if you dare me to kill my wife, I'll kill him first. It's a big deal to fight a battle and see who's afraid of whom. ”

Zhao Guanhou snorted, "Second brother, he has read a lot of books, but unfortunately his brain is a little broken, and he even came up with such an idea." ”

"Don't blame him, the general trend is like this, the banner people have become more and more silent over the years, and they deserve this catastrophe." Yuqing sighed and sat up, "Lie down, and I will serve you." She didn't wear clothes, so she wore small clothes, massaged Zhao Guanhou, and said while massaging her husband's shoulders and back with her jade hands:

"I heard that northern Anhui is not peaceful, this year there is a flood, a large number of people have been displaced, but the local disposal is very unfavorable. This can't all be blamed on the locality, Anhui has been too chaotic in the past two years, the magistrates have no money and no food, and they can only rely on the squires in case of trouble. However, the squires also had opinions about the cabinet of the imperial court, and they were reluctant to do anything in terms of retribution. As a result, the refugees had no way to live, and they had to rise up again as twisters. ”

"It was originally a place for trouble, but it was the same, and the Huai army was also out, whether it became an army or a bandit still depends on the strategy of the imperial court. Give the people a way to live, those people are the arms of the court, and if they don't give them a way to live, they are extremely powerful bandits. Originally, the twist was very capable of fighting at the beginning, but it was not easy to suppress it, but it was also extinguished, and now it is just a resurgence. I also know that they formed a group of men and horses called Huai Shang Army, and I have heard of 10,000 soldiers, but they lack food and guns, so they should not be able to become a marquis. There were also people in the barracks who wanted to pull our people over. ”

Yuqing said: "I also heard about this outside, and some people want to take advantage of the nostalgia and persuade our soldiers to go with guns. Fortunately, no one moved, otherwise wouldn't all the soldiers we had worked so hard to train be cheaper. ”

"These soldiers are not bad in their brains, they have enough food and pay every month, how can they drag guns and live a life of killing their heads. Huai Shangjun wanted to pull them, but he made a mistake. ”

"However, although there were many twisted bandits in the past, they did not become a big harm, and they gathered and robbed, and dispersed for the people, which will not last long. This time, they printed their banners, set up a system, and had internal military discipline and decrees, which were very different from the past. There are also local gentry to help them, and I am afraid that it is different from before. When I arrived in Songjiang this time, I already realized that this court could not be maintained. ”

She sighed, quite emotional, "When Cisheng Bintian called you, it implied that it was to support Gu, it is said that regardless of public or private, we should repay the grace of Cisheng, and do errands with heart, so as to be the right old man." But as far as Lao Wu and Long Yu are doing now, no one is cold, even if it is me, I can't say anything I want you to serve with your heart. I can only say that the number of gases is exhausted. But I don't agree with what Ge Mingdang said, they also said that they would kill the flag people, could it be that the flag people were born guilty of capital crimes? There is no truth to this. Actually, I also have a strategy, we in China can't do without the emperor. According to my opinion, it is time to follow the example of the ancients and rule the world with three emperors. A Han emperor is the great emperor, one banner and one Mengmeng two deputy emperors, there are three people to discuss things, and then issue a holy decree. ”

Zhao Guanhou laughed and hugged her fiercely, "My good character, you really know how to think about it...... The Three Emperors Rule the World...... Haha, you're going to laugh me to death. No, this suggestion can't be enjoyed by me alone, and it will be sent to our Jinan newspaper tomorrow for everyone to see. ”

"No, this is a big rebellion, just say it at home, how can you go outside and say it."

"I don't sign your name, now that the new policy is being implemented, the newspaper industry is banned, everyone can say something, why can't you say this. I've heard a lot of rebellious things in the past two days. ”

Yuqing knew that it was during this period that under pressure from the Shandong Consultative Bureau, the parliamentarians headed by Zou Jingze sent a lot of petitions to the Yamen of the Shandong Governor. Shandong is required to implement constitutional rectification and try out the Taixi responsible cabinet system.

The local government will select a person with high moral integrity and prestige to serve as the chief of civil affairs and take charge of the civil affairs of Shandong, and elect a military chief to be in charge of military affairs. The governor is the highest responsible person and has the right to reject the strategy proposed by the two political chiefs of the civil and military forces, but the civil affairs agency is responsible for the daily affairs, and the governor cannot directly intervene.

This is tantamount to putting the governor in the air, and Zhao Guanhou has no reason to do it, but the momentum of these squires' petitions is very high, and they can't hold it down for a while. Moreover, some people expressed clear dissatisfaction with Qicheng, believing that the banner people living in Qicheng should move out of Qicheng and be expelled, or go out of Qicheng as a citizen and live with Han people. There are also radicals who put forward the slogan of blood revenge for their ancestors, clamoring to kill all the people in the flag city.

Guoxiang, the city guard in the Texas Flag City, is an incompetent general, although he is a martial artist, he can't ride a horse or use a gun. Hearing the news, I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to go out of the door now. It's just that he asked someone to ask Shigege for his life, asking her to save the lives of the people of Shandong Banner.

But Shigege himself is not in a good situation now. Shandong newspapers are closed and opened, and there are many private newspapers, some of which have pointed the finger at her. excavated the black history of causing trouble in the capital, accusing her of being a woman who was uneasy in the room, and the implication was that such a woman was not worthy of being a wife at all, and she should have left the court early. Some people also dug up the identity of her illegitimate daughter, criticized this origin, and ridiculed her and King Qing, who are also fathers, daughters, and grandchildren, and how they stand between heaven and earth.

She was under great pressure, but she also knew the pressure of Zhao Guanhou, so she suppressed all kinds of unhappiness in her heart and tried to pretend to be smiling. Even when husband and wife are alone, they do not mention these things.

"Actually, what Meng Siyuan said is not completely unreasonable, if the Wanyan family is destined to not be able to keep it, then if you are with me, you will be affected. Not only you, but even our fat girls are also subject to the strain. When the time comes, those newspapers will not let her go. I think...... Go home and see Ama and Eniang...... It's just a good time to hide. ”

"That's as it should be, it's not like you don't go back, but not only you go back, Hanzhi and I will also go back with you. Han Zhi recognized the old lady as a godmother, and she should also kowtow. A few naughty bags, you should also go to see your grandparents, I will accompany you back to Beijing for a turn, and I will also talk to my father-in-law. Father-in-law, an old man, always has to find a way to transfer a part of it and take a step back. ”

Yuqing shook her head, "I'll just talk to Ama about this, you have so many things in Shandong, go to Songjiang before, and there are already a lot of official things." Now I'm going to the capital with me again, isn't there more and more piles? I can do it by myself, and I don't need anyone to follow me. ”

"Let him go. You don't want to go anywhere without me. Don't they want power? Okay, I'll give them a few days without a governor, so they know what it's like to be without a governor. As for those newspapers, I will invite the Qiu boss of the Shandong Cao Gang to dinner tomorrow, and all the newspaper boys are not allowed to sell the newspapers of those newspapers. Whoever dares to buy the newspaper of the newspaper will let the gangsters scold them, beat people, and immediately send them to the number and lock them up. It won't be long before those newspapers are closed. ”

Yuqing smiled bitterly: "In that case, you will offend them, these newspaper owners are not afraid of beating or smashing, and the more they beat, the more proud they are." Besides, it's not a few newspapers that oppose me now, it's the squires of Shandong who don't like us bannermen, so why do you ......"

Zhao Guanhou gently untied the small jacket on Yuqing's body, "When you gave it to me, I was a high-ranking character, and I was just a small general." If you have not disliked me, I will not dislike you. Slow to say that it is the gentry of Shandong, even if everyone in the world wants to oppose you, I have to support you, with me, no one can touch your cold hair! ”

Meng House.

Here, I can't feel the joy of the upcoming wedding, Meng Siyuan and his wife who are about to get married, there is actually nothing to say. The two are very polite and respect each other, but this kind of respect and politeness obviously does not match the identity of husband and wife, as if they are just a pair of passers-by.

He spent significantly more time with Su Zhenbang than with his wife, and the two often sat together and talked all night. Joining the army of talks were several local gentry in Jinan. They have guards and militias of varying sizes, which can add up to hundreds of people, and they are also a force to be reckoned with.

But the direction of their negotiation with Meng Siyuan could not go together. These people are constitutionalist in nature, advocating a constitutional monarchy and not encouraging violence. In particular, once Ge Ming starts, it will inevitably destroy the market, affect business activities, and in the near future, cause their business to suffer. Therefore, these powerful squires are trying their best to prevent Meng Siyuan and the others from launching the next plan, or in other words, they have to postpone the time.

When the last guest was sent away, Su Zhenbang shook his head helplessly, "I really can't understand what they think." They demanded that we postpone the uprising unconditionally for six months, in order not to delay the delivery of their goods to the Prussian Foreign Company. This reason makes me laugh and cry. ”

"But they do have strength, and if we don't make compromises, the uprising will hardly succeed." Meng Siyuan pointed out a very acute question: "If Shandong wants to achieve self-control, their strength is indispensable, and only when the squires are on our side can we achieve victory." ”

"So you married Miss Liu not to love her, but to the Liu family's eight hundred militia groups?"

"These 800 people are the strongest force in the neighborhood, if we refuse, they will defect to the government, and they will lose their money, and this account cannot but be carefully calculated. However, these forces combined are still inferior to the officers and soldiers. The Fifth Town and the Second Association, their strength is too strong, and we have too few officers in our hands. If the fourth child doesn't help us, our work won't be good. ”

But judging from the play that day, it seemed difficult to convince him. Recently, some Liu Busy began to find trouble with newspaper stores, and those newspapers all attacked Yan Yuqing, I don't think it will be a coincidence. ”

Meng Siyuan thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Zhenbang, I don't approve of your sanctions against the fourth child, no matter what, he has made contributions to our country and nation, whether it is the Xuanhua War, or the Gengzi indemnity, or the construction of Shandong in the past two years. His work achievements are here, and if sanctions are imposed on him, in Shandong, I am afraid that we will lose the support of the people. As for the issue between him and Yuqing, I think we can talk about it slowly, and maybe we can talk about a mutually acceptable condition. The expulsion of the Tartars cannot be generalized, after all, there are also Jurchens who are willing to join Ge Ming, and we should all be kind. Isn't the one who protects Mr. Wang now also the King Su in the banner people? ”

Su Zhenbang nodded and said, "I support your opinion, on the commando side, I will restrain their actions and prevent them from acting rashly." But...... I'm afraid it won't be too long, after all, as long as Zhao Guanhou is sanctioned, Shandong's big policy can be in our hands. The hearts of the comrades are very anxious, and we must also be considerate of everyone's feelings. ”

"I can understand everyone's eagerness to recover Shandong, but please also give Guanhou a chance, I believe that he is a person who can take care of the overall situation, as long as he sees that the road we are taking is bright, he will work with us for the future of China." This wedding is a great opportunity, I think I will have a good talk with him, and he will understand. ”

In the troupe, an old actor named Chang Yuguan said goodbye to the troupe, preferring to lose the silver and leave the troupe. He was originally a Cantonese opera singer, but the skills of Peking Opera veterans are also very good, and he is an indispensable talent for this opera troupe. The head of the team talked a few times, but he couldn't talk about it, so he had to agree that if Boss Chang couldn't find a suitable team to play, he could come back at any time.

In the small room of the inn, Sanyuguan opened his bag and found a pistol in the middle of the civilized play. There are all kinds of props used in civilization plays, and guns are also part of them, but unlike those wooden guns, his gun is a real guy from a foreign company. He felt for his pistol, checked the ammunition in it, and silently read a name: Jade.

And in Jinan City, in a certain oil mill, Tiehu, who sneaked into the city again, took the risk of being exposed, and secretly went to the Zhao Mansion once.

Not far from the governor's yamen, he saw the person he wanted to see: Feng Xi. Feng Xi, who was dressed in Lu silk and had a beaded hair, was holding a cute little boy and buying a few small toys. The boy was very naughty and extremely unfriendly to Feng Xi, but Feng Xi still loved him very much, and when he looked at him, he had a happy smile on his face. Beside her, several girls jokingly called her Mrs. Fengxi, and she did not deny it, but enjoyed this title very much.

Tiehu gritted his teeth and turned away, and when he returned to his residence, he secretly hid a fried egg by his side. Even though the group had ordered a moratorium on sanctions, he was determined to seek justice for himself.

Everyone is waiting for a date: Meng Siyuan's wedding. (To be continued.) )
