Chapter 243: Hangzhou Peace Talks I


Qiao Zhiqing breathed heavily, and kissed Zeng Jiyun's small mouth in a drunken manner.The right hand continued to slide down Zeng Jiyun's breasts, and stroked her smooth thighs for a while.finally couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Zeng Jiyun to the bed."

No, wait a minute."

Zeng Jiyun suddenly came out of her intoxication, pushed Qiao Zhiqing away, and curled up in the corner of the bed like a kitten."

What's wrong Ji Yun" Qiao Zhiqing thought that it hurt this girl, and asked with concern with a frown."

Brother Qiao, I haven't married you yet" Zeng Jiyun lowered his head, his little face was shy and dry."

I'm sorry, Ji Yun, I was a little impulsive just now."

Qiao Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, and then blushed in embarrassment.Looking at Zeng Jiyun's frightened appearance, he felt like an obscene uncle teasing a little girl.Zeng Jiyun covered her mouth and smiled, tidied up her clothes from under the bed, stretched out her right hand and put it on Qiao Zhiqing's shoulder, and said playfully, "Young man, it's good to know that you are wrong."

To put it another way, Miss Ben and you are still friends. ”Qiao Zhiqing looked at her little scoundrel and couldn't wait to slap her.Before he could stretch out his hand, Zeng Jiyun jumped out of the door with a smile.Last night, Qiao Zhiqing had promised to find her something to do, and it happened that his little secretary was the minister, so Zeng Jiyun took on the job of serving tea and pouring water as a matter of course.Early this morning, the military newspapers from the front line began to be sent back one after another.Wei Ziyou sorted it out and hurriedly sent it to Qiao Zhiqing.Zeng Jiyun didn't have any friends here, and yesterday Wei Ziyou accompanied Qiao Zhiqing to pick her up.So Zeng Jiyun still had a good impression of Wei Ziyou, and took the initiative to say hello when Wei Ziyou entered the door.After Qiao Zhiqing took the military report, he marked the movements of all parties one by one according to the topographic map.Now that the Sixth Route Army of the Huaxing Army has arrived at its own designated location, fierce battles have taken place when it occupies almost every county seat.Because of Qiao Zhiqing's land policy of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land", the peasants in various localities, under the mobilization organization of the Huaxing Party, actively cooperated with the active troops and launched a riot in the city.The closer it is to Jiangsu, the stronger the Huaxing Party becomes, and hundreds of key party members have developed in Zhejiang.The Huaxing Party also went to the forefront of the struggle for the first time, which really surprised Qiao Zhiqing a lot.Now the four major armed forces in Jiangnan have all been cut off from retreat, and they have all retreated into the city, and everyone has their own thoughts.Liu Kunyi and Guo Songtao saw the power of the Huaxing Army for the first time.As soon as we fought, we found that they were more than a little behind the Huaxing Army in terms of weapons, tactics, and individual quality.The two of them had already been rewarded by the imperial court, hoping to gain some benefits for themselves in the war.Only then did he send troops to Zhejiang, and his will to fight was not strong.Now that they had just exchanged fire, the two took the initiative to contact the attacking Huaxing Army and asked for peace talks with Qiao Zhiqing.Now only Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang have an unclear attitude, and they are still actively preparing for war in Jinhua Mansion and Lishui Mansion.Each strengthened the walls and dug trenches.Using the strategy of clearing the wilderness, the people around the city were moved into the city, and they looked like they were fighting to the death with the Huaxing army.Qiao Zhiqing didn't want to delay with them anymore, and now Jiangnan was on the verge of collapse.If you don't end the war, you can recuperate.In the future, facing millions of refugees, even Qiao Zhiqing can't afford to spend it no matter how rich he is."

Ziyou, you send this out as soon as possible.I'm going to go on a long trip these days, and you can sort out the information from all over the place, and then review it together when I come back. ”Qiao Zhiqing gave a reply to the Sixth Route Army, and after handing the military report to Wei Ziyou, he explained softly."

Is Brother Qiao going to a peace talk?"

Wei Ziyou frowned with some concern."

Yes, it's been so long, it's time to rest.They are all descendants of the Han people, and they call back and forth to make outsiders see jokes. ”Qiao Zhiqing replied easily, not taking it to heart, as if he was going to meet an old friend."

Okay, then Brother Qiao be careful all the way."

Wei Ziyou nodded, infected by Qiao Zhiqing's self-confidence, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and retired with the military report.Qiao Zhiqing flipped through the official documents, sorted out the documents on the table, and went out to talk to Zeng Jiyun.Zeng Jiyun is still working for the first time since she was a child, but she quickly entered the state with a good look.Seeing Qiao Zhiqing go out, he hurriedly bowed to him, and asked with a smile, "Does Mr.

President have something to order?"

This is also thanks to the work notes left by Hui'er when she left, although Hui'er only did it for a short day, but she recorded all the work that the secretary had to do every day in detail.Zeng Jiyun took her notes and studied for a long time, and probably knew some concepts about secretaries.To put it in layman's terms, it is the meaning of a personal maid.After her father died, after half a year of practicing in Baiyun Nunnery, she no longer regarded herself as an eldest lady.Now that she can have a job to support herself, Zeng Jiyun feels extremely comfortable when she thinks about it.Qiao Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and replied pretending to be serious, "Comrade Ji Yunxiao, I haven't seen you bring in a glass of water all morning, do you want to make the president thirsty to death?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the president, please use tea." ”Zeng Jiyun reacted violently, hurriedly apologized, picked up the tea bowl and handed it to Qiao Zhiqing."

Girls can be taught."

Qiao Zhiqing teased and took a sip of the tea bowl.looked at Zeng Jiyun's clumsy appearance when serving people, and couldn't help but feel secretly distressed for her."

Ji Yun, do you know Liu Kunyi and Guo Songtao" Qiao Zhiqing put down the tea bowl and frowned slightly."

You mean Uncle Liu from Jiangxi, and Uncle Guo from Guangdong.Of course, I know that they are all my father's subordinates, and they used to come to the house often to look for my father. ”Zeng Jiyun stared at her eyes and nodded, not knowing what Qiao Zhiqing was going to ask."

Great, I'm going to go to Hangzhou today.You pack your things, and we'll go. ”Qiao Zhiqing's face suddenly showed a hint of relief."

Great, I've wanted to go out for a long time."

Zeng Jiyun's face was full of surprise, and he took Qiao Zhiqing's hand and laughed."

Alright, go pack some clothes, I'll be over this afternoon."

Qiao Zhiqing patted her fragrant shoulder and ordered, looking at her happy expression, I didn't know that I thought I was looking for her for a honeymoon.After Zeng Jiyun retreated, Qiao Zhiqing took his own soldiers to the left army and asked Wang Shumao to advise.In the afternoon, Qiao Zhiqing's special small steamer was moored at the wharf.Zeng Jiyun changed into a skirt and a small jacket, and after getting on the boat with Qiao Zhiqing, she looked around happily."

Brother Qiao, you have governed this Nanjing City so beautifully, it is bigger than the original Suzhou City."

After Zeng Jiyun came back from the mountain that day, it was already dark.Today, I finally enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Nanjing City, and I was excited all the way."

Ji Yun, haven't you gone out to play before" Qiao Zhiqing looked at her unproductive appearance and laughed secretly."

Nope."

Zeng Jiyun looked at the river scenery outside on the deck, and spit out lightly with concern, "I played with my sister and brother-in-law in Yiyang once, and I met a long-haired thief at that time, but fortunately I was rescued by you."

I don't know how my sister and brother-in-law are doing now, Brother Qiao, do you know their news" "When the imperial court purged your uncle, most of the people of the Zeng family went to Yunnan with him, and now there is no news of them.I think they must be fine, no matter how much your ninth uncle will protect them. ”Qiao Zhiqing looked at her lost little face and walked over to comfort her."

I hope so, Brother Qiao, sometimes I'm really afraid that I'm the only one left in the world."

Zeng Jiyun thought of her relatives, and her heart suddenly became sour."

No, no matter what, Brother Qiao will accompany you at any time, how can you be alone" Qiao Zhiqing put his arm on her shoulders and hugged her, carefully comforting the injured girl.Zeng Jiyun snuggled in his arms, enjoying a moment of the two-person world, and secretly prayed for his family in his heart.Zhejiang is the land of fish and rice, and Suzhou is known as a small paradise on earth.Now, after years of war, both sides of the river are full of barren scenes, and there are no people for ten miles.After a night's sailing, the steamer arrived in Hangzhou after dawn.Garrisoned in Hangzhou was a regiment of the Left Division of the New First Army, whose commander was named Cai Da, who had previously served as a wing commander in the pro-military camp for a period of time.Later, when the New First Army was expanded, he was transferred to the past, and he was promoted from the sentry commander to the position of regiment commander.Qiao Zhiqing's order to go down to Hangzhou had already been conveyed to Hangzhou, Cai Datian took people to wait on the dock before dawn, and after seeing Qiao Zhiqing's steamer, he shouted and waved again and again."

Dashuai, I can see you again."

Qiao Zhiqing and his entourage went ashore, and Cai Da greeted him excitedly."

Xiao Dazi, it turned out to be you, you kid has become the head of the regiment" Qiao Zhiqing is no stranger to Cai Da, when he first came to the pro-military camp, he didn't even dare to open his eyes when he shot.Hu Wenhai reprimanded him many times for this, but Qiao Zhiqing gave him good words, and then he slowly got used to it."

Yes, handsome.When do you give an order, we will immediately go back and be your own soldier, or be happy when you are a personal soldier. ”Cai Da laughed, and as he spoke, he served Qiao Zhiqing and Zeng Jiyun into the carriage."

You kid, you have learned to be poor when you become the head of the regiment."

Qiao Zhi smiled heartily, and after he and Zeng Jiyun were done in the carriage, Cai Da personally drove the carriage and sent the two of them to the Hangzhou Mansion.When Li Hongzhang left, he looted all the valuable things in the mansion, and now there are empty houses left.Qiao Zhiqing looked at the depressed scene in the city along the way, and couldn't help but sigh.It is said that there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below.Nowadays, where is there a paradise in Hangzhou, the streets are empty, and there are not even pedestrians.The shops on both sides of the street were closed and closed, and the doors were closed, and there was no movement in the daytime.Qiao Zhiqing originally wanted to take Zeng Jiyun to West Lake to enjoy the scenery, but now he is in no mood to see it like this.After the government settled in, he hurriedly gave Cai Da an order, asking him to inform the generals on the front line and contact Liu Kunyi and Guo Songtao to come to Hangzhou for peace talks
