Everyone at the banquet was confused by Qiao Zhiqing's laughter, after all, he was the chief soldier of a province in the Qing Dynasty, and Su Huaibei's words were indeed a bit rebellious.But the old man has a wide range of connections, and he also has backers in the DPRK and China, and he also has the confidence to say such things.After Qiao Zhiqing calmed down, he slowly stood up, bowed solemnly to Su Huaibei, and said with a sad expression, "I didn't expect that Mrs.
Su lived overseas, but he was also so worried about state affairs, which really made the younger generations admire, please accept the worship of the younger generations." ”"Mistress Joe is gracious."
Su Huaibei was used to seeing big scenes, but at this time, he was still a little flattered by Qiao Zhiqing's actions and got up to return the salute, and his face couldn't help but be a little sorry for what he said just now.I didn't expect to be old, and I still couldn't suppress the anger in my heart.Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our dynasty has not attached much importance to coastal defense, and has implemented a policy of sealing off the sea and forbidding the sea, and no piece of wood can go to the sea.I know in my heart where Su Taigong's anger is, when the Dutch foreign devils created the "Hongxi tragedy" in Indonesia, Gaozong Qianlong said, "The Celestial Empire abandoned the people, did not hesitate to carry the tomb of the ancestors, went abroad to make profits, and the court did not care." ”Ben Shuai today made amends to everyone here again for the sentence "the people abandoned by the Celestial Empire". ”Qiao Zhiqing bowed to everyone present again, and several overseas Chinese with prominent families at the banquet were shocked and speechless at this time, and sat in place for a long time, but then they were full of tears, just for the unknown forbidden place in their hearts.Yes, Qiao Zhiqing's sentence "outcasts of the Celestial Empire" is like a poisonous needle that has been pierced in the hearts of overseas Chinese from generation to generation, and when it is touched, the heart will be like a drop of blood."
The old man thanked Master Qiao on behalf of the overseas Chinese."
Su Huaibei looked excited and bowed deeply to Qiao Zhiqing, and his words were choked."
Don't worry, Mrs.
Su, in the future, your overseas Chinese will be my Qiao Zhiqing's siblings, if anyone dares to bully my family again, I, Qiao Zhiqing, will definitely do my best to make them pay for their blood debts."
Qiao Zhiqing, "Master Qiao, since you can treat us like this, we can't let a sensible person like you chill your heart."
Now that the country is in danger, it is the responsibility of the husband, and the Siamese rice ordered by the Qing Zijun in Zheng Ji Foreign Bank last month, I Zheng Tai did not take a penny, and gave all of it to Lord Qiao to pay for the army.And since then, I, Zheng Ji Foreign Bank, have guaranteed that as long as the signboard of Zheng Ji Foreign Bank is still there, we will be responsible for all the food and salary of the Qing Zi Army, and we will never collect a penny of profits from Lord Qiao. ”Zheng Tai immediately returned the salute with a serious fist on his face, and every sentence was loud."
Brother Zheng has spoken, of course our Li family can't be left behind.""
It's also counted as our Cai family's share, if Lord Qiao is a place to use in the future, just open your mouth."
Lee Kuan Yew and Cai Shaoyong stood up with impassioned fists at the same time.Qiao Zhiqing's heart suddenly surged, and he did not doubt the innocence of these overseas Chinese to serve the country.If there was no Qiao Zhiqing, when the founding fathers of later generations made revolutions, they also relied on donations and materials from overseas Chinese, they just wanted to make their home country strong too much, and they could also have a strong support when they encountered bullying overseas."
Okay, let's stop arguing, let's listen to the old man's advice.Our Su family in Indonesia, the Zheng family in Siam, the Li family in Vietnam, the Cai family in the Philippines, and the people who are in charge of our four major families in Nanyang are now sitting here.Everyone also stayed in Suzhou for many days, and their understanding of Master Qiao was definitely not much worse than that of the old man.Since everyone is willing to help our country, which is in dire straits, it is better to join forces.In addition to the assistance other than business, it is better for our four major families to donate a total of five million taels of silver every year, our Su family will take two million taels, and the three of you will share the remaining three million taels equally for the military salary of the Qing Zi Army. ”Su Huaibei smiled and stroked his long beard, saying what he had already made in his heart.He went to Suzhou from Indonesia to meet the immortal talent praised by Pan Yongquan in his letter.After coming to Suzhou, the old man personally saw the various reforms and achievements carried out by Qiao Zhiqing, which made this stubborn old man feel at ease.Today, hearing Qiao Zhiqing's insight into the situation and his innocence for overseas Chinese, the old man could no longer control his excitement and was determined to do his best to make a long-term investment for overseas Chinese."
I agree.""
I also agree" and "agree" Zheng Tai, Cai Shaoyong, and Lee Kuan Yew blurted out without hesitation."
Master Qiao, you see that you didn't come to this banquet in vain" Su Huaibei looked at Qiao Zhiqing and laughed heartily."
Qiao Zhiqing has written down everyone's kindness, and he is not grateful, Qiao Zhiqing has thanked everyone for the people of the world."
Qiao Zhiqing took the wine glass and drank it all, bowed deeply to the four of them, and the emotion in his heart was incomprehensible, he just wanted to become strong as soon as possible and desperately defend the dignity of the Chinese nation."
Father, it's time for us to go, the British ocean-going cargo ship will set sail in the afternoon."
At this time, a sweet voice came from behind, and a woman in a white dress walked over and grabbed Su Huaibei's arm and coquettishly touched it."
You girl, you can't stay here so soon."
Su Huaibei lovingly scraped the tip of her nose, looked back at Qiao Zhiqing and introduced, "Oh, that's right."
Master Qiao, the decrepit daughter Su Wanru, has just returned from studying in the UK.Lao Yu took her out to see the world, but this girl couldn't stand the cold, and she quarreled with Lao Yu every day to go back to Indonesia. ”"Hello, Miss Su."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled lightly and glanced at Su Wanru up and down.I saw that the girl seemed to have Western blood, her eyes were faintly blue, her complexion was fair, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her figure was indeed much taller than the girls around her, and even her breasts were proudly tall."
You are Qiao Zhiqing, my father is arguing to see you every day.When I saw you today, you were really handsome. ”Su Wanru smiled generously at Qiao Zhiqing, not as shy as a girl when she first met.Several elders at the same table listened to her words and were happy."
Don't make mistakes."
Su Huaibei glared at his daughter, turned his head to look at Qiao Zhiqing and said apologetically, "Master Qiao, the little girl is spoiled by the old decay at home, and there are many conflicts. ”"It's okay, Ling Ai is also like a fairy, with an outstanding temperament, and the younger generation is also a feast for the eyes today, fortunately, fortunately."
Qiao Zhiqing shook his head with a smile, staring at Su Wanru's eyes heroically.Su Wanru heard Qiao Zhiqing's praise, and for some reason her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and finally blushed a little shyly, lowered her head and stuck out her tongue, and shrank behind her father to hide.The explicit conversation between the two was more like the flirting of the young couple, which caused several people at the banquet to laugh again."
Master Qiao, it's time for a few of us to say goodbye and go home.If you have anything to tell in the future, just let Brother Pan Yongquan contact me. ”Zheng Tai calmed down and stood up.Lee Kuan Yew and Cai Shaoyong also followed him and stood up, clasped their fists and said goodbye."
Well, you don't have to be polite, don't leave it at that.We'll see you again for a long time.When the time comes, Ben Shuai will definitely take our own ironclad ship and personally visit your home. ”Qiao Zhiqing blurted out categorically, and his words were full of terrifying pride."
That old man is at home waiting for Master Qiao's arrival."
Su Huaibei laughed heroically and added, "Brother Qiao, the military salaries that we have prepared just now will be provided to the Qingzi Army from tomorrow.You send someone to discuss with the responsible persons of several of our companies in Suzhou, and they will do their best to do it on behalf of the old people. ”"Mrs.
Su is right, we agree."
Zheng Tai, Lee Kuan Yew, and Cai Shaoyong echoed in unison."
Then thank you very much, everyone have a good journey, and don't forget our agreement."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and hugged his fists to say goodbye."
Goodbye.""
Goodbye"""Everyone smiled happily, hugged their fists and left, and left the venue one by one.After Su Wanru left, she deliberately glanced back at Qiao Zhiqing, winked at Qiao Zhiqing playfully, took her father's arm and turned around and went out.Qiao Zhiqing was stunned when he looked at Su Wanru's appearance, and suddenly remembered Li Weier again in his heart, their temperaments were so similar.Li Weier also likes to wear such a white ocean group, laughing in the sun, like a bride in a wedding dress."
Brother Qiao, don't look at it, everyone is gone."
Suddenly, a sound of laughter pulled Qiao Zhiqing back to reality, Pan Qiaoyu covered her small mouth and snickered, stretched out her little hand and shook it in front of Qiao Zhiqing's eyes.Qiao Zhiqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said goodbye to Pan Yongquan, and let Pan Qiaoyu leave the venue alone.The rental carriage was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Qiao Zhiqing going out, he hurriedly put down the stool.Outside the door, the reporters and onlookers were tightly blocked by a human wall formed by the soldiers, but the cheers and thanks were endless.These simple people are all people who have received Qiao Zhiqing's favor in the Suzhou New Deal, so they specially rushed over to express their gratitude.Qiao Zhiqing smiled and beckoned to the people, and when he got into the carriage, he suddenly turned his head and asked Pan Qiaoyu, "Qiaoyu, are you familiar with Miss Su" Pan Qiaoyu laughed and replied playfully, "Of course, Sister Su's mother is a nobleman in the Netherlands, and she often lived in my house with her father when she was a child.I always love to cry my nose, and I coax her to be happy.However, after Li Xiucheng occupied Suzhou, we never saw each other again, but I didn't expect that after a few years of not seeing each other, she would become a big girl. ”"I see, go back and greet the guests.I still have official business to do, so I won't stay here with you. ”Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, turned around and got into the carriage.Pan Qiaoyu nodded obediently, waved at Qiao Zhiqing, and waited for the carriage to go away before returning to the venue.After Qiao Zhiqing returned to the mansion, Yan Yuting was already waiting in the study with a worried face, and when she saw Qiao Zhiqing enter the door, she hurriedly greeted her."
Brother Qiao, you are back, the matter you asked me to investigate has already been decided, but this person is not easy to mess with."
Yan Yuting said and handed a piece of information to Qiao Zhiqing's hand
