Chapter 155: Profiteers


"Brother Qiao, why is this Ronglu the whole of Jiangsu down, and the imperial court will only make you the governor of Jiangsu.Rong Lu sent a good news back, and he was immediately promoted to the chief soldier, what do you say these people in the court are thinking about all day long" Yan Yuting sat on the couch, shaking her calves, and kept complaining for Qiao Zhiqing."

With him having a good lover, if you are not convinced, you will also be a queen mother in the palace, then I can also follow you to ask for a big official."

Qiao Zhiqing teased her with a wicked smile."

Go, go, you have to enter the palace."

Yan Yuting pouted and glanced at him, and reminded, "Brother Qiao, my sister is holding a full moon wine for the child today, do you want to go over My brother-in-law doesn't have to worry about anything, and he didn't even give the child's name." ”"It's a full moon, time flies so fast."

Qiao Zhiqing pinched his brows and stood up, and ordered, "Let's go, I haven't seen this little guy for many days, I really miss her." ”"Okay, Uncle Qiao, slow down, the little woman is serving you."

Yan Yuting stood up suddenly, and the little bird picked up Qiao Zhiqing's arm and happily went to Yan Minxia's yard.Originally, Yan Minxia wanted to be quiet, so she just called a few close people to have a meal.But Yan Yuting didn't do it, she just became an aunt, and she didn't want to wronged this little niece.In my sister's courtyard, not only set up more than 30 tables of banquets, but also invited the most famous Kunqu opera troupe in Suzhou to come to help the fun, although these foreign generals could not hear what people were singing, but they always wanted to be lively and festive.When Qiao Zhiqing and Yan Yuting arrived at the courtyard, all the guests had already started their chopsticks and drank for a long time, and when they saw Qiao Zhiqing coming, everyone hurriedly got up and saluted."

Let's all sit down, it's just a family banquet today, everyone is free to do so."

Qiao Zhiqing smiled and waved his hand, and went directly into Yan Minxia's room.Yan Minxia had just given birth, and her body was still very weak, because of the cold weather, Yan Minxia and the child only stayed in the house and did not go out to entertain guests."

Sister, Big Brother Qiao has come to see you."

As soon as Yan Yuting entered the guest hall, she shouted into the inner bedroom."

Come in, I was just trying to get someone to come and invite you, so you came."

Yan Minxia greeted her inside with a smile, and kept coaxing the child in her arms to sleep."

Minxia, I haven't been busy looking at you and the child lately, it's all good."

Qiao Zhiqing entered the door, looking at Yan Minxia's peaceful appearance as a mother for the first time, and couldn't help but feel happy for her."

Well, look at this little fellow, as if he knew you were coming, he wouldn't go to sleep obediently."

Yan Minxia said and played a few times on the child's face, and her face was very loving."

Minxia, Yunfei has been refusing to come back from the barracks" Qiao Zhiqing said and sat down on the edge of the kang, carefully hugged the child and Yan Yuting, and kept teasing the little guy.The little guy didn't even cry or make trouble, staring at him with big eyes and smirking, which was very cute."

Don't talk about him, you hurry up and give this child a name, just now several people asked me what the name of the little guy is, and I can't go back."

Yan Minxia's face darkened suddenly, and she smiled bitterly and quickly changed the topic."

Well, let me think about it.What is it called" Qiao Zhiqing stared at the little guy's dark and translucent eyes, and said to himself, "There are clouds in the Book of Poetry, Qingqing Zijin, and my heart."

You little guy is so good-looking, there will be many people who will fall in love with you in the future, so let's call you Gu Youyou. ”"Gu Youyou" Yan Yuting raised her head behind her and pondered for a while, clapping her hands and applauding, "It's good, let's call Gu Youyou."

Little yo-yo, little yo-yo. ”After saying that, he stroked the little guy's delicate little face a few times.The little one seemed to understand what they were saying, and the little face smiled even more happily.After the banquet, Qiao Zhiqing went back to the study alone, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Rong Lu walking around anxiously outside the door."

Does Mr.

Rong's illness seem to be almost better?"

Qiao Zhiqing smiled lightly, entered the study with Rong Lu, and sat down on the couch together."

Oh, my brother Qiao, I've been waiting for you here for a day, don't make fun of me.This time, my brother is afraid that he will not be able to pass this hurdle, and he will still be a general soldier, if the court knows about my deception, I am afraid that my little brother's head will not be able to be saved. ”Rong Lu touched the beads of sweat on his head, picked up the tea bowl on the small table and took a big sip."

Actually, you're doing a good job this time, really, a lot more than I expected.It's just that there are still more than 500,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjing City, but it's not something that your Eight Banners soldiers can gnaw down. ”Qiao Zhiqing also took a sip of the tea bowl and suppressed the wine in his stomach.At the banquet just now, Yan Yuting didn't know where to invite a few tables of beauties, and estimated that all the members of the team were Firefox, and toasted Qiao Zhiqing one by one.Qiao Zhiqing also accepted them one by one, and he couldn't bear to refuse these beauties.After a few rounds, I vomited on the spot, so I found an excuse to leave in a hurry, and let a group of people mess around."

Big brother, you can help the younger brother, the fold has been sent to the imperial court, this sentence Rong Cheng has to be taken down, and if you can't take it, you have to take it."

Rong Lu pleaded with a sad face, and almost knelt down for Qiao Zhiqing."

Okay, our brothers, and the eldest brother doesn't want to embarrass you.As the saying goes, there are not many soldiers, but fine.You don't have more than 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers left, the eldest brother will give you 10,000 foreign guns, and send special generals to train this army for you, we only need to press this matter for a month, and after a month, you will attack Jurong City, and my brother will ensure that you will be captured. ”Qiao Zhiqing kept thinking in his heart and made a suggestion to Rong Lu."

Great, just waiting for the words of the eldest brother, you are my Ronglu's reborn parents."

Rong Lu knelt on the ground for Qiao Zhiqing as he spoke, and kept flattering and complimenting.He fought in Jurong City, received a lot of goods, and also realized this problem.A large number of soldiers does not necessarily mean that it is powerful, not to mention the consumption of some military salaries in vain, there is no cohesion at all."

Get up, don't be in a hurry to thank me, let's talk, friendship is friendship, business is business.Brother, I didn't pick up any foreign guns here for nothing, they were all saved for one tael of silver and bought from foreign devils.Now you only have more than 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers left, but you still receive more than 100,000 soldiers' salaries, so you have to reimburse your brother for this cost. ”Qiao Zhiqing sneered, revealing his true colors as a profiteer."

Cheng, this is no problem."

Rong Lu didn't think about it and agreed, he was still young, he didn't have a deep relationship, and after returning to Jinkui City, he realized that he would build a new Eight Banners army, but the foreign guns were dry and stared at nowhere to buy.This time I came to Suzhou to ask Qiao Zhiqing for this matter."

Okay, I'll put a strip on you, you go to the quartermaster department with a silver ticket, a foreign gun is counted as ten taels of silver, plus a million rounds of ammunition, a total of 500,000 taels of silver for you."

Qiao Zhiqing looked at Rong Lu with the appearance of a profiteer, his offer was almost twice the original price, and the Enfield rifle he ordered from Britain was only five taels of silver, and one tael of silver could buy four hundred rounds of bullets.That kind of kraft paper bullet is just a dozen grams of gunpowder wrapped in kraft paper, and then put a lead bullet in it, and finally soaked in palm oil, it is easy to poke down from the muzzle with a strip, for the breech gun, it is very convenient to change the bullet, and the cost of the bullet is also very low."500,000 taels Brother Qiao, you are robbing."

Rong Lu's eyes widened in surprise, and he felt like he had been pitted."

Yes, 500,000 taels.This is all given to you at cost price for the sake of our brother's face.In this way, don't be aggrieved, my brother will give you 20 field guns and 2,000 shells for free, so you are satisfied. ”"Okay, it's just 500,000 taels, and the eldest brother counts when he speaks."

Rong Lu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and stood up, he really felt like he wanted to cry without tears, although he knew that he was cheated by Qiao Zhiqing, but he was helpless, except that Qiao Zhiqing could gather so many arms in a short period of time, others really didn't have that ability.If the longer the delay lasts, let the court know that he lied about his military exploits, then he will really be unable to eat and go around."

Don't worry, when did the eldest brother lose you."

Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, stood up as he spoke, wrote a note to Rong Lu in front of the desk, and stamped his seal.Rong Lu took the approval slip and looked at it, hurriedly said goodbye to Qiao Zhiqing and left the courtyard gate, and after returning to Jinkui City, he went to the quartermaster department with the silver ticket and soldiers and horses, and bought the ammunition back in a hurry.As soon as Rong Lu left, Yan Yuting came from her sister, and her face was full of disgust after seeing Rong Lu, when Shengbao insulted her that day, Rong Lu Ke was also by her side, and she was ready to do it with Shengbao, fortunately, she followed her own soldiers to practice the shell gun for a month, although the marksmanship was not accurate, but the self-defense was more than enough, Shengbao had never seen that thing, and saw Yan Yuting pull out the shell gun or get up with desire, and died under Yan Yuting's gun in a daze."

Brother Qiao, I heard from the soldiers just now that you are going to sell arms to Rong Lu, why do you want to help him" After Yan Yuting entered the study, she sat down on the couch angrily and looked at Qiao Zhiqing with big eyes."

You saw him just now" Qiao Zhiqing didn't look up, and looked at the official document in his hand seriously."

That's right, Rong Lu is not a good thing, he looks like a thief, and he is as damn as Shengbao.Why are you going to help him again, what does it matter to us whether he dies or not" Yan Yuting scolded angrily."

Let me ask you, if our Qing army and the Hunan army attack Nanjing City at the same time, who should this credit go to" Qiao Zhiqing shook his head with a smile, raised his head and looked at Yan Yuting with an angry face."

Of course, it belongs to the Xiang army, Zeng Guofan is the governor of Liangjiang, and he is deeply used by the imperial court, Brother Qiao is just a junior, and the imperial court will definitely give all the credit to the Hunan army.Yan Yuting raised her little head and thought about it, and replied to Qiao Zhiqing with great certainty."

Then let me ask you one more question, if the Hunan Army and the Eight Banners Army led by Rong Lu attack Nanjing City at the same time, who will the imperial court give the first credit" Qiao Zhiqing pretended to look at Yan Yuting mysteriously and asked again."

This court is the court of the Manchus, and the Manchus should all be oriented towards the Manchus.This first merit must belong to Ronglu, but what does it have to do with our Qingzi Army, and we can't get any benefits. ”Yan Yuting looked at Qiao Zhiqing with a puzzled expression, not knowing what the hell he was doing
