Qiao Zhiqing skillfully tossed with Yan Yuting all morning, and finally reclaimed this virgin land.Yan Yuting cooperated with Qiao Zhiqing ignorantly, and after a while, her teeth squirmed in pain, and finally she bit Qiao Zhiqing's shoulder and persevered.She survived, but Qiao Zhiqing's shoulder was bitten and blood oozed out, which made Qiao Zhiqing depressed to death, and put on her clothes and went directly to the study.Yan Yuting didn't care about his little temper, she tossed all morning, her body was soft and she didn't have any strength at all, she curled up in the quilt and snored.Qiao Zhiqing had just walked to the door of the study, and the scene in the courtyard almost stunned him.Almost all the young people in the pro-military camp gathered here, and the leader was Huang Feihong, more than 500 people all had shaved their shiny bald heads, and they all looked at Qiao Zhiqing stupidly and smiled."
Handsome."
When the soldiers saw Qiao Zhiqing coming, they all hurriedly stood up and saluted, the bald head was like a solar panel in the sun, and Qiao Zhiqing, who reflected the bright light, narrowed his eyes."
What do you mean by this, are you ready to become a monk" Qiao Zhiqing smiled bitterly and asked at the door of the soldiers."
Report to the boss, we saw that your hairstyle was very beautiful yesterday, so we didn't ask you in the morning, and asked Master Liu to shave all your heads, and when your hair grows, it will be the same as yours."
Huang Feihong saluted and replied loudly.Qiao Zhiqing smiled helplessly and shook his head, and waved his hand at the door of the soldiers, "Okay, quickly step down for Ben Shuai, others who don't know think that Ben Shuai is going to reopen Shaolin Temple." ”"Yes."
Huang Feihong and his relatives both smiled, and after saluting the military salute, they retreated in unison.Most of these pro-soldiers are from the martial arts hall in Guangzhou, and they all have a great relationship with Nan Shaolin, and yesterday they saw Qiao Zhiqing with short hair, so they all couldn't wait to shave their heads bald to express their resistance to the Qing court's massacre of Nan Shaolin.Unexpectedly, Qiao Zhiqing didn't blame them today, these rebellious teenagers had Qiao Zhiqing's support, of course, they couldn't keep their mouths shut when they were happy.This head-shaving turmoil has just begun, and Qiao Zhiqing has finally realized what it means to go up and down.After all the pro-soldiers were shaved bald, a vigorous shaving campaign also began in the Qing army.All the shaving masters in Suzhou City were summoned, first shaved the heads of the Qingzi troops stationed at the edge of Suzhou City, and then spread from Suzhou City to the garrisons of other prefectures and counties.Within a few days, even the Qingzi troops stationed in Tianbao City outside Nanjing City had all shaved their heads.The battle in Nanjing City has been pacified for more than two months, and Qiao Zhiqing still deployed two brigades of Qingzi Army on Tianbao City.Not only did they not mean to retreat, but they built forts on them, reclaimed larger camps, and put on the appearance of long-term garrisons.Zeng Guofan also asked Qiao Zhiqing many times for this matter, but Qiao Zhiqing had already shirked the war.Now that Qiao Zhiqing is two levels older than Zeng Guofan's title, Zeng Guofan naturally has no room for refutation.The city of Nanjing has been in a state of turmoil at this time, since the reward of the imperial court has come down.Several important generals of the Hunan army went to Zeng Guofan every day to make noise.Especially after Rong Lu became the commander of the Hunan army, the generals of the Hunan army were all angry, complaining about the unfair rewards and punishments of the imperial court.When Qiao Zhiqing evacuated from Nanjing, he took all the gold and silver from the Holy Treasury, and the now prosperous place of Nanjing City was controlled by Rong Lu.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Hunan army contributed the most to the siege of Nanjing, but it made Qiao Zhiqing gain fame and fortune, and Ronglu benefited.Zeng Guofan didn't catch anything, only made a marquis, and when he came, he had to be cut off the army in his hand."
Big brother, this kid Rong Lu is too disagreeable.Today he actually went to our Jizi Battalion and asked me to set an example for the whole army, and our Jizi Battalion was abolished first, what do you say about this matter" Zeng Guofan was resting in the mansion, and after Nanjing was pacified, he moved to the Zhongwang Mansion to work, and Rong Lu occupied the huge Tianwang Mansion, and messed with the concubines who Hong Xiuquan did not withdraw in time every day.At this time, Zeng Guoquan's angry shout came from outside the house, Zeng Guofan frowned, and asked the soldiers outside the door to let him into the house."
Lao Jiu, why are you getting more and more out of breath.The preparation of the Hunan army was originally to deal with the long-haired thief, but now that the long-haired thief has been basically pacified, it is natural to dismantle it, is there anything wrong with what Rong Lu did?"
Zeng Guofan raised his head and reprimanded in a low voice."
Big brother, you're so confused.We fought hard for the Qing court to defend this half of the country, but how did the Qing court treat us, only gave you a small marquis, Lao Tzu guarded Yuhuatai for a while, and was almost killed by the foreign gun of the long-haired thief, but the court only gave an earl, and Ronglu's kid was in company.Big brother, only the children who can scream can drink milk, and we can't swallow it anymore. ”Zeng Guoquan flicked his sleeves and shouted loudly in the room, his stomach full of anger."
Lao Jiu, you are so confused, the reason why the court is doing this is to beware of you and me, if you don't obey the orders of the court now, just give them the excuse to kill you and me, it is better to retire now and fall into the name of a loyal minister."
Zeng Guofan glared at him and persuaded him earnestly."
Then why is our Hunan army a threat, their Qingzi army is not, Qiao Zhiqing now has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which is not inferior to our Hunan army at all, but why is the imperial court only targeting us several times" Zeng Guoquan retorted unconvinced."
It's no wonder that you don't govern the army strictly, and you complain when you don't get anywhere.It is precisely with this as an excuse this time that the imperial court united with the Qing faction in the court to denounce our Hunan army as the party to the disaster.Now the situation is very unfavorable to us, if we insist on going our own way, it is easy to fall into a state of isolation. ”Zeng Guofan stood up in pain and sighed weakly."
Big brother, now that the court is separated from morality, it is really the time when my Han people came into being.You can hold 300,000 soldiers and horses in your hands, plus Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhejiang, Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Fujian, Guo Songtao, the governor of Guangdong, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Jiangxi, etc., and the governors of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are either your friends or students.If they are united, it will be enough to break through the capital and restore the world of the Han family.Big brother must not hesitate any longer, he will end up being a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey" Zeng Guoquan once again said the long-suppressed thoughts in his heart without concealment."
Shut up."
Zeng Guofan almost roared out, hurriedly walked down and opened the door to look around, then turned back to Zeng Guoquan and continued to drink, "Old Jiu, how dare you say such a thing."
Do you know that when we share adversity, we are friends, but when we are rich and rich, we often become enemies?
Of the few people you mentioned, only Guo Songtao and Liu Kunyi are my confidants.When Zuo Zongtang was a master, he was unwilling to be subordinate, and he had already separated from the old man.If I am stable and stable, then Li Hongzhang will still call me Teacher Sheng, but if I rebel, with the current strength of the Huai Army, I will definitely fight back.Although Luo Bingzhang is good friends with the old man, once something happens, he will not help me.Now the governor of Huguang is in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Qiao Zhiqing occupies Jiangsu, and between Guangdong and Anhui, we are surrounded on all sides, how can there be room for resistance" "Big brother, these are all possibilities, as long as we win over Qiao Zhiqing, these things are not a problem at all.Is there a more powerful army than the Xiang Army and the Qing Army today Qiao Zhiqing has always been infatuated with our Ji Yun and has not changed, why don't you do it, big brother, this matter is okay, we can have one more helper. ”Zeng Guoquan reminded him unwillingly."
My Zeng Guofan has not fallen to the point of selling his daughter, you don't have to mention this matter again, let me know that there are still people talking about this matter, and I will not be spared."
Zeng Guofan yelled at Zeng Guoquan, his face was embarrassed.After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves away and threw Zeng Guoquan alone in the study."
Big brother" Zeng Guoquan still wanted to persuade again, but seeing Zeng Guofan's face, he had to swallow his breath, sighed and retreated.It was dark, and Zeng Guoquan recognized it as brightly lit in the tent of the barracks.As soon as Zeng Guoquan entered the camp tent, he saw the two of them hurriedly hugging their fists to greet each other, "Ninth Master, what did he say" Those two were Zeng Guoquan's henchmen, Peng Yulin, the commander of the Navy, and Bao Chao, the commander of the Thunder Army."
The eldest brother's courage is getting smaller and smaller, it seems that we can only effectively imitate Song Taizu's yellow robe and become a success, and when the time comes, the eldest brother is unwilling, so he can only go forward."
Zeng Guoquan has made up his mind to become the king of himself, and today's arrogant posture of Rong Lu almost made Zeng Guoquan angry, how could he swallow this breath."
Then when are we going to do it," Peng Yulin asked."
Don't worry, you have to have someone to help you in this matter."
Zeng Guoquan lowered his head and pondered silently, and spat lightly at Peng Yulin."
Who is it, aren't the twenty or so brothers of our Hunan Army enough," Bao Chao snorted curiously."
Qiao Zhiqing, the marshal of the Qingzi Army."
Zeng Guoquan read in a low voice."
How is this possible Qiao Zhiqing, hasn't he always had a dislike for Dashuai" Bao Chao's eyes widened in surprise."
This matter is a long story, Qiao Zhiqing has always been resentful, and my eldest brother always wants to suppress him to make this situation today.If we were to join him, he would be on our side. ”Zeng Guoquan's face showed a look of expectation, and he silently thought in his heart who to send to contact Qiao Zhiqing."
It's so good, if we have Qiao Zhiqing's support, then we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and when the time comes, we will first hand out Ronglu, a son of a bitch, and make noise in Lao Tzu's ears all day long."
Bao Chao clenched his fists angrily and scolded Rong Lu."
Now that the Ninth Master has made a decision, then Brother Bao Chao and I will go down to contact the brothers to get ready."
Peng Yulin said goodbye to Zeng Guoquan, and after Bao Chao also saluted, the two retreated together.Zeng Guoquan sent the two out of the tent, and just saw Yuan Yusheng escorting grain and grass back to the barracks with soldiers, and his heart suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly called this unpromising niece and son-in-law over
