Zeng Guofan had a sullen face, nodded, and asked the soldiers outside the door to call the young lady up."
What's the matter, Ji Yun is also here" Zeng Guoquan shouted in surprise, and before the words fell, a happy woman came in outside the tent, and when she saw Zeng Guoquan, she rushed forward and hugged him in his arms."
Uncle Nine, I finally saw you, why don't you come back to see me."
That woman is Zeng Jiyun, who is spoiled by Zeng Guofan at home on weekdays, and she doesn't look like a big lady.There are many children in the Zeng family, Zeng Jiyun has the best relationship with this ninth uncle, and he has been raised in Zeng Guoquan's arms since he was a child."
Ji Yun, put down your ninth uncle quickly, the bigger you are, the more there are no rules."
Zeng Guofan stretched his face and reprimanded, Zeng Jiyun pursed his mouth and snickered, and stood obediently on the side."
You stinky girl, you're about to get married, and you're still so crazy, let's see how your mother-in-law cleans you up in the future."
Zeng Guoquan touched her head with a smile, turned around and asked Zeng Guofan, "Big brother, have you really decided to marry Ji Yun to Qiao Zhiqing's stinky boy" "If the girl is not stayed, what can I do if I don't marry, this ghost girl is angry with me at home, and she hanged herself and went on a hunger strike, how could I raise such a baby." ”Zeng Guofan looked at Zeng Jiyun and sighed helplessly, and as he spoke, he asked Zeng Guoquan to sort out an empty room and take Zeng Jiyun down to rest.On the second day, Zeng Guofan inspected the battalions in Nanjing City, and at noon, he asked Peng Yulin, the commander of the navy, to transfer a ship and take Zeng Jiyun directly to Suzhou.After Qiao Zhiqing received the news that Zeng Guofan was going to come to Suzhou to inspect, he hurriedly asked the Qing soldiers along the way to pay attention to vigilance, and he finally waited for the governor at sunset at the Suzhou ferry port with his own soldiers.Zeng Guofan traveled lightly and simply, and only brought two entourages and Zeng Jiyun.After going ashore, I saw Qiao Zhiqing again, and I didn't feel a little trance, and I couldn't understand how this young man did all this.The wind and waves on the river wrinkled, making Zeng Guofan shiver coldly.He was dressed in a dark gray Confucian dress, and he looked a lot older when he was carefully supported by Zeng Jiyun."
Your Excellency, long time no see."
Qiao Zhiqing calmly clenched his fists and stepped forward."
Excuse me, the wind is strong, I can't stand it, let's go back to your mansion and talk about it in detail."
Zeng Guofan waved his hand, and got into the carriage in front of him as he spoke, Zeng Jiyun followed behind him, winked at Qiao Zhiqing with a smile, and followed into the carriage.After the group returned to the mansion, Zeng Guofan got out of the carriage with the support of Zeng Jiyun and entered the study under the greeting of Qiao Zhiqing.After Zeng Guofan and Zeng Jiyun sat down on the couch, Qiao Zhiqing hurriedly poured a bowl of tea for the two of them, and bowed to the side.Although he doesn't like this old man, but this time he is here to reconcile, and there is no need to make the relationship incompatible."
Why don't you even have a maid here, do you usually make it yourself to serve tea and pour water?"
Zeng Guofan took a sip of the tea bowl and asked Qiao Zhiqing casually."
I'm used to living alone, and if there's anything that is not well entertained, please forgive me, Lord Governor."
Qiao Zhiqing replied calmly, with no pretentious expression at all."
Well, it's good for young people to be frugal.The old man came to you this time, just to see what your Suzhou New Deal looks like, it is enough to have a place to sleep and a cup of hot tea to drink. ”Zeng Guofan smiled and looked at Qiao Zhiqing differently.A young man with a high power like him, who doesn't even want a maid to serve, really surprised Zeng Guofan."
My lord, shouldn't you come here just to see the new deal in Suzhou" Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, and met Zeng Guofan's eyes, without the slightest fear."
You're right, the old man does have something to discuss with you when he comes this time."
Zeng Guofan smiled, turned his head to Zeng Jiyun and instructed, "Ji Yun, I have something important to discuss with your big brother Qiao, you go out first and take a look casually.""
Yes, father."
Zeng Jiyun nodded obediently, stuck out his tongue at Qiao Zhiqing, and walked past him with a delicate blush.After Zeng Jiyun went out, Qiao Zhiqing slowly pulled the door and sat down straight opposite Zeng Guofan."
Your Excellency, please tell me something."
Qiao Zhiqing looked at Zeng Guofan keenly, and his waist stood straight."
Now that Nanjing City has been pacified, I don't know what Master Qiao thinks about the reconstruction of Nanjing City" Zeng Guofan frowned at Qiao Zhiqing curiously."
My lord, Nanjing City was attacked by the Hunan Army and the Eight Banners Army, and everything has to be decided by the Lord and Rong Lu, and my subordinates have no opinions."
Qiao Zhiqing replied generously and smiled easily."
Oh, is it that Governor Qiao is really a person who doesn't chase fame and fortune, if Nanjing City didn't have the help of the Qing Army, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been captured so quickly.How did the old man hear that the king of the Taiping Army led the army to hide in Suzhou, Governor Qiao shouldn't have other ideas, right?"
Zeng Guoquan sneered with a gloomy expression, picked up the tea bowl and picked it up again."
What my lord said is not false at all, the more than 200,000 Taiping troops commanded by Hong Renji are currently stationed in Suzhou.However, they have already surrendered to our Qingzi army, and their subordinates are planning to reorganize this team to serve the imperial court, and they have no idea. ”Qiao Zhiqing didn't hide it, and replied stunned."
It seems that this matter is true, Governor Qiao has taken in so many anti-thieves by his side, isn't he afraid of setting himself on fire" Zeng Guofan squinted his eyes and snorted coldly."
The downside is doing the right thing, and is not afraid of criticism from others.But adults should pay more attention.Now that the bandits have been eliminated, the Hunan army has no use for it, and the DPRK and China don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at adults.Adults have more than 300,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, but some people are not very reassured. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart.Zeng Guofan's face was sunny for a while, and it took a long time before he came out with a low roar, "The old man's Hunan army can be completely eliminated immediately, can your Qingzi army be able to do it" Qiao Zhiqing smiled and replied categorically, "No." ”"Young people, think twice before you do things, and be responsible when you say it.Do you think your Qingzi Army will be the opponent of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army" Zeng Guofan's face was stunned for a while, and he looked at Qiao Zhiqing murderously."
My lord, if you really want to know the combat effectiveness of the Qingzi Army, your subordinates don't mind if we practice a few times.There are still questions I want to remind my lord, do you really think that the generals of the Hunan army have not received any credit, so they will be willingly dismissed by you" Qiao Zhiqing had no intention of retreating, and the atmosphere in the room froze to the extreme for a while."
What do you mean by this, the generals of the Hunan army have made great contributions to the imperial court, and the rewards of the imperial court are also taken for granted, how can they treat the generals badly" Zeng Guofan frowned and asked rhetorically."
To tell the truth, the imperial court has sent an official letter to his subordinates, asking who made the first contribution in the battle to recover the city of Nanjing.The subordinates were worried about how to reply to the imperial court, and just asked the lord, whether Nanjing City was the strength of the Hunan army, or the Eight Banners Army of Ronglu desperately attacked the city" Qiao Zhiqing looked at Zeng Guofan with a sly smile, and found out the secret fold of the military aircraft department and handed it to Zeng Guofan."
You are threatening the old man" Zeng Guofan stared at Qiao Zhiqing with round eyes, and his tone was a little heavier."
Didn't the Governor come to Suzhou this time to talk to his subordinates about this matter, where did his subordinates dare to threaten the Governor, this is just a business.The subordinates are also not used to Rong Lu's insatiable appearance, but the Queen Mother of the West just likes him, and it is clear that she wants her subordinates to stand on Rong Lu's side, and her subordinates are also very embarrassed. ”Qiao Zhiqing finally tore through the disguise and made the problem clear to Zeng Guofan.Zeng Guofan stared at him speechless for a long time, his chest rose and fell violently a few times, and his complexion finally eased."
Tell me about your conditions."
Zeng Guofan reluctantly made a compromise, if the imperial court really gave all the credit to Rong Lu, his efforts in the past few years would have been in vain.Moreover, the generals of the Hunan army also knew about this matter, and it would definitely lead to a mutiny, and it would be even more difficult to deal with it when the time came."
The subordinates just want to take the Qingzi army to live a peaceful life on their own one-acre and three-point land, if the adults want to disarm, even if they take their own Hunan army, our Qingzi army still has to continue to serve the imperial court, and no one can withdraw.As long as the adults don't press the Qingzi army too quickly, the Qingzi army is still the army of the Qing Dynasty, and they will definitely not embarrass the adults. ”Qiao Zhiqing's face was full of determination, without a hint of retreat."
Okay, the old man promises you.Everything is still the status quo, the Hunan army is not embarrassed by your Qingzi army, but the first merit of breaking through Nanjing must be the Hunan army. ”Zeng Guofan puffed in response, the old guy hasn't let people lead him by the nose for a long time."
Deal."
Qiao Zhiqing laughed and poured tea for Zeng Guofan, picked up the tea bowl and touched Zeng Guofan, replaced the wine with tea, and toasted Zeng Guofan."
Do you know why the old man didn't agree to your marriage with Ji Yun in the first place" Zeng Guofan took a cup of tea, his face softened, and he chatted with Qiao Zhiqing."
I want to hear about it."

Qiao Zhi wrinkled his forehead lightly."
You saved the little girl's life, and the little girl also has a soft spot for you, the old man doesn't want to marry his daughter to you, not because of your identity.You know what the old man saw when he saw you for the first time" Zeng Guofan paused, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat."
It can't be the smell of copper," Qiao Zhiqing asked jokingly.Zeng Guofan shook his head with a smile, and replied abruptly, "What the old man saw was your disregard for rights, the old man should be the governor of Liangjiang, and you are just a businessman's son, and I saw that the old man didn't have a trace of awe."
In this troubled world, people like you are either capable of governing the country or traitorous to the country.The old man is afraid that after you marry Ji Yun, you will be even more fearless and give birth to infinite disasters.Now it seems that what should come is always coming, and no matter how to prevent it, it is futile. ”"Your Excellency is overrated."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled noncommittally, and secretly sighed in his heart that Zeng Guofan's acquaintance was too late, but unfortunately it was too late to say anything, if Zeng Guofan could have predicted his achievements a year later, I don't know if he would have cut himself on the spot.But people are not immortals after all, and in his thinking, he would never have thought that a young man with no background would become the commander of the three armies within a year
