After Hong Renji withdrew to Nanjing, the former division of the Qing army took the initiative to make way for the Taiping army in Danyang City.After struggling several times to no avail, the Taiping army in the city saw the strange behavior of the Qing army, and waited for the Qing army to completely withdraw to Changzhou before they had the courage to withdraw from Danyang City to Nanjing.At this point, the Qing army has taken another step towards Nanjing, and the entire southern Jiangsu except for Shanghai is owned by Qiao Zhiqing.After the victory in Zhenjiang, the happiest thing is probably Shengbao.Before he could get an inch, he followed Qiao Zhiqing to pick up a big bargain.As soon as the news of the defeat came, the Twist army left behind in Yangzhou City immediately abandoned the city and fled.Shengbao's subordinate general Duolonga entered Yangzhou for the first time and regained the lost territory, needless to say, the excitement is needless to say.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing returned to Suzhou from the waterway, Shengbao happily rode his horse to the Suzhou Mansion, and had to congratulate Qiao Zhiqing in person."
Brother Qiao, my brother is here to congratulate you on making new contributions."
Before Katsubo arrived, the rough voice came far into the house.Qiao Zhiqingzheng and Yan Yuting were talking about the news of Beijing in the study, and after hearing Shengbao's voice, they asked Yan Yuting to retreat first.Yan Yuting didn't see Qiao Zhiqing for a few days, and just lingered with Qiao Zhiqing for a while, she was disturbed by Shengbao, pouting unhappily, and went out with small steps.As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he passed by the grinning Shengbao.Where has Shengbao seen Yan Yuting's beauty, as soon as he saw Yan Yuting in a colorful tight-fitting cheongsam, his bones were about to soften.The hot little figure walked forward and backward, and the plump chest was soft as if it was made of dough, especially the long legs of the white flowers, which were smooth and tender, and swayed up and down with the cheongsam without any scruples.If it weren't for Qiao Zhiqing's mansion, Shengbao would definitely have rubbed his beautiful legs.Yan Yuting saw Sheng Bao's squinting eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly, blushing angrily and walking away quickly.Sheng Bao looked at Yan Yuting's back for a long time before he came to his senses, drooling in his mouth, and sighed in admiration, "There is such a stunning woman in this world, if you sleep with her, it will be worth it with this old life." ”"Brother Shengbao, what are you looking at" Qiao Zhiqing sorted out the documents and went out to greet Shengbao in person.Seeing Sheng Baose staring at Yan Yuting with squinting eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted."
No, it's nothing," Sheng Bao hurriedly relieved himself, smiled awkwardly at Qiao Zhiqing, and said in a thief's disguise, "The place where Brother Qiao lives is really chic, and the eldest brother just enjoys the scenery here." ”Qiao Zhiqing sneered, but pretended to be close, took Shengbao's hand and entered the guest hall, and instructed the maids in the house, Ling'er and Hui'er, to bring wine and food.Ling'er and Hui'er are Yan Yuting's two new maids to Qiao Zhiqing, the two girls are only fourteen years old, and they are twin sisters.Their father died young, and the sisters were raised by their mother.The mother and the two of them had just migrated from Henan to Suzhou after a lot of hardships, but because of the bumps along the way, they fell ill and died within a few days of arriving in Suzhou.The two sisters were not familiar with each other, so they had to sell themselves in Suzhou City to bury their mother.Yan Yuting was most unaccustomed to this kind of thing, and without saying a word, she buried their mother decently, and brought them back to the Suzhou Mansion, where the maids under her hands trained them for a few days.After Qiao Zhiqing came back, he arranged for the two sisters to be serving maids for Qiao Zhiqing.After Qiao Zhiqing heard about their life experiences, he smiled bitterly and secretly sighed that the world was difficult.The previous heart was to sell her body to bury her father and make a maid for herself, but I didn't expect these two cute little Lori to sell her body to bury her mother before she made a maid for herself.is a dignified handsome mansion, but now he doesn't want to become a relief station for girls who sell themselves.Ling'er and Hui'er's similar appearances, if you don't distinguish them carefully, you really can't tell which is the sister and which is the sister.After Yan Yuting's tidying up, the sign of falling at a young age is lovely.Originally, Qiao Zhiqing had a temporary temperament and privately ordered a short skirt for Yan Yuting, but at this time, it was worn on the two sisters.The face of her two melon seeds, the small mouth of the cherry, a pair of bright big eyes are black and translucent, with two fair-skinned legs, pure like a water lotus in the pool.The small and delicate chest is waiting to be released, eager to try and waiting for the picking.Sheng Bao stared at the two sisters with envy, and secretly depressed in his heart, where did Qiao Zhiqing find this multi-person world, why didn't he have such blessings, and what he had was just some vulgar powder."
You guys should step back first, and the master will call you up again if there is something."
Qiao Zhiqing poured Sheng Bao full of wine, knowing that he was lustful and moved, he chuckled lightly and motioned for the two sisters to retreat."
Brother Qiao, these maids in your house are really better than immortals, they are really good to envy the eldest brother."
Katsubo took the wine glass and drank it full, his face full of lust."
Big brother, are you tired of playing with the women of Jinkuicheng recently, why don't you give the eldest brother a different place to try it again" Qiao Zhiqing drank a cup of himself, and knocked Shengbao on the side.Shengbao is not a fool, he can naturally hear the taste of Qiao Zhiqing's words, and hurriedly holds a wine glass to apologize, "Brother Qiao, the eldest brother is really like a god in the sky in Jinkui City, this body has long been hollowed out, where do you still have the heart to go somewhere else."
It's the eldest brother who is open-mouthed, Brother Qiao forgives me, and the eldest brother punishes himself with a cup. ”Qiao Zhiqing touched a glass with him, and said with a chuckle, "The younger brother is here to congratulate the eldest brother on winning Yangzhou, and I am afraid that the imperial court will reward the eldest brother heavily." ”"Where Brother Qiao said, my brother still knows how many pounds and taels he has, if it weren't for your Brother Qiao to help this time, my brother wouldn't have made meritorious contributions, I'm afraid that even this head would have to be lost."
Shengbao raised his glass and toasted Qiao Zhiqing with a flattering face."
Let's not say these polite words, I just received a tip-off, the imperial court's order is about to come down, and the days of the eldest brother in Jinkui City are about to end."
Qiao Zhiqing reminded Sheng Bao meaningfully."
Order" Sheng Bao's heart chuckled, he had just spent a few months in Jinkui City, smoking cigars every day, playing with interracial women, gambling on two handfuls, and not worrying about the harassment of traitors, where could he live such a life."
Brother Qiao, can you say it clearly," Shengbao asked again in a panic."
As soon as Zhenjiang's Twist Army was pacified, the imperial court naturally focused its attention on Nanjing City, and the eldest brother, as the elite force of the Eight Banners Army, naturally bore the brunt.The imperial court wanted to let the military exploits of this feudal king fall on the Manchurians, so there have been rumors from all sides recently that the imperial court is going to send the eldest brother to the Northern Expedition and join forces with the Zeng State to attack Nanjing. ”Qiao Zhiqing calmly analyzed the situation for Shengbao."
Is this" Sheng Bao's eyes rolled, and he continued to lick his face and said with a smile, "Brother Qiao, you know that the eldest brother is the person who despises fame and fortune the most.The city of Nanjing is strong, and Zeng Laojiu has besieged it for half a year before he barely occupies such a small place as Yuhuatai, if my brother goes, won't he take an egg and smash it on a stone" "Is it" Qiao Zhiqing sneered, frowned and said, "How did I hear that the report sent by the eldest brother to the imperial court put all the credit for the victory of Zhenjiang on the Eight Banners Army, and our Qingzi Army only assisted on the side" Qiao Zhiqing changed his tone, and there was an indescribable sense of oppression in his words."
What's the matter, which kid chewed his tongue randomly, and the eldest brother dared to confront him face to face.The eldest brother definitely credited the first credit to Brother Qiao in the recital, where did the eldest brother dare to touch the credit of Brother Qiao" Shengbao was shocked, the prepared music had not yet been issued, and he didn't know where Qiao Zhiqing got the news, but he still pretended to be calm and assured again and again on his face."
That's the little brother's news is wrong, the eldest brother should just listen to it."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled at Shengbao, as if looking at a prey that had fallen into his trap, and took a full drink from his wine glass.Shengbao hung his head and drank again and again, constantly thinking about what Qiao Zhiqing said in his heart.If you really take all the military achievements on you, it will really be like Qiao Zhiqing said, the imperial court will definitely notice you, and the drudgery of attacking Nanjing City will definitely fall on you.He is different from Zeng Guofan's elm head, what he pursues is a reputation, but he is reaping tangible benefits.Even if you give yourself a false name as a prince, there is no benefit at all, and this kind of loss-making business must not be done.When he went back, he changed the chapter and gave all the credit to Qiao Zhiqing, so that the court would let Qiao Zhiqing take over the errand, and he could hide in Jinkui City to receive military salaries and live a fairy-like life.The two of them drank a few more glasses with their own thoughts, and Shengbao left under the pretext of returning to Jinkui City, and hurriedly asked the staff under the tent to change the recital.After considering every word and confirming that the imperial court would not pay attention to itself, he sent a herald to the capital for 800 miles.After finishing the work, I couldn't bear the heat of my body, hummed a little song and went out of the barracks to look for flowers and ask willows.Qiao Zhiqing's life was not as idle as his, and after sending Sheng Bao away, he continued to deal with official business.This time, the front division, the rear division, and the middle division were dispatched at the same time, and for the first time, although the middle division had some twists and turns, it finally successfully completed the scheduled plan.The middle division and the surrendered Twist Army were ordered to retreat to Suzhou and undergo reorganization and drills.The former division continued to defend Changzhou under the command of Chen Bingwen, and the latter division has not appointed a division commander since Wang Shijie's expedition to northern Shaanxi.After much thought, Qiao Zhiqing finally made a decision that surprised everyone, and handed over the command of the rear division to Feng Zicai, who had just defected to the Qing army.At this time, we have to start with Feng Zicai's loss of Zhenjiang, and things have developed to a situation where the Taiping army only seeks self-preservation.Both the Taiping army and the Hunan army had lost interest in Zhenjiang, so Zeng Guofan sent 2,000 miscellaneous troops led by Feng Zicai to guard Zhenjiang.However, the Twist Army intervened at this time, and Feng Zicai began to borrow troops from Zeng Guofan in order to defend Zhenjiang to the death.But Zeng Guofan's heart only pretended to be Nanjing City, and the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River that Chen Yucheng tossed in Anqing City were uneasy, so he was really weak to draw troops, so Zeng Guofan deliberately ignored Feng Zicai's request.Feng Zicai didn't give up Zhenjiang until he tried his best, but after all, he lost a city, and someone had to come out to be responsible.After the Qing army besieged Zhenjiang, before he had time to borrow the Qing army to wash away his shame, the order of the imperial court had already come down, and Feng Zicai was also pressed into the prison, waiting for the execution after the autumn.After Qiao Zhiqing found out, he immediately pleaded with the imperial court, and only then did he get this loyal and brave veteran out of prison.Feng Zicai locked himself in the house for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, and after coming out, he went straight to Suzhou to meet Qiao Zhiqing, and begged to join the Qing Zi Army in tears
