Qiao Zhiqing took the group back to Nanjing Mansion in the middle of the night, and after sending Zeng Jiyun back to the wing, he also entered the study tiredly.The desk was already full of various documents, all of which had been sorted by Wei Ziyou according to their urgency.After Qiao Zhiqing sat down, he took a look at it, and it was a secret music from the capital.The imperial court has canonized Zhang Zhidong as the governor of the three eastern provinces, and is preparing to migrate displaced people from the Guannei to open up wasteland outside the Guan.Qiao Zhiqing took out the topographic map and thought about it carefully, and secretly sighed in his heart, "The imperial court still gathers its eyes here, this Zhang Zhidong is really sharp-eyed, and he is a rare talent." ”The second official document was submitted by Hong Renji, who, in accordance with Qiao Zhiqing's instructions, gathered a large number of famous people at home and abroad.It is planned to convene a constituent assembly tomorrow to discuss the formulation of the first constitution of the new China.Qiao Zhiqing gave an approval to every official document, and was busy until dawn.I fell asleep on the couch with a groggy brain, and it wasn't until the sun shone into the couch that I was shouted by Zeng Jiyun, who came to work."
Brother Qiao, why didn't you sleep well last night, you see your face turned blue."
After Zeng Jiyun came in, he made the bed for Qiao Zhiqing, and after waiting for him to get dressed and washed, he pouted and muttered unhappily."
I've been married, and I've started to take care of my husband, and I'm going to have a long job."
Qiao Zhiqing pinched her pretty face and teased indifferently."
I hate it, don't pay attention to your body."
Zeng Jiyun pinched his waist, and after serving him to wash, he reported, "Your Excellency, Ma Xun has been waiting for you outside the house for a long time, can you summon him" Qiao Zhiqing listened to her yin and yang strange tone, and immediately laughed, and hurriedly waved her hand to let her beckon Ma Xun in."
Hello young master, Ma Xun reports to you."
As soon as Ma Xun entered the house, he smiled and gave Qiao Zhiqing a military salute, and stood straight in the room."
You stinky boy, you dragged you down for three days' leave and only came now, isn't your ass itchy?"
Qiao Zhiqing wiped his face with a towel, glared at Ma Xun, and sat down at the desk with a chuckle."
Report to the young master, I haven't been idle during this time.This is an opinion I wrote on the logistics support of the Huaxing Army, you can take a look. ”Ma Xun got down to business, his face became serious, he took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Qiao Zhiqing.Qiao Zhiqing looked at it curiously, and on a total of more than 50 pages of paper, the details of the creation of the General Logistics Department of the Huaxing Army were densely recorded.It can be seen that Ma Xun has put a lot of effort into it."
You wrote it," Qiao Zhiqing looked at Ma Xun in disbelief and frowned."
What did the young master say, if I didn't write it, who else would write this thing," Ma Xun hurriedly nodded affirmatively.Qiao Zhiqing looked at him playfully, smiled lightly, and did not speak."
Of course, there is also the opinion of my father-in-law, Feng Guifen.He searched for a lot of information on the military logistics management of foreigners, and I compiled it in combination with the specific situation of the Huaxing Army. ”Ma Xun finally replied honestly and touched his head embarrassedly."
Ma Xun, you are more and more impressed by Young Master Ben.I think that when you followed me south to sell tea, you couldn't recognize all the words, and I didn't think that you could write so many things now.The young master didn't reuse you in vain, but you gave me a long face. ”Qiao Zhiqing laughed out loud and put the documents on the table."
Young master, without you, how can there be Ma Xun today.Wherever you command, Ma Xun will do it, and he will never disappoint the young master's high expectations. ”When Ma Xun heard Qiao Zhiqing's praise, he also smiled, his face full of gratitude."
Great, with you, I have a lot less pressure on me.You go down first, and when I give a detailed reply, you will start to create the logistics department of the Huaxing Army. ”Qiao Zhiqing looked at his complacent appearance and nodded with satisfaction."
Yes, young master, I promise to complete the task."
Ma Xun saluted with a serious face, turned around and strode back.Qiao Zhiqing had breakfast in the study, and then went to the parliamentary hall of the presidential palace to discuss the constitution with the scholars.Liu Kunyi of Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang took several important generals and rested in the government office for a night.Li Hongzhang strictly sent troops to guard it.Liu Kunyi didn't have a chance to make a move, so he had to press it down and wait for the opportunity.After dawn, Li Hongzhang set up a banquet for him to catch the wind, and Liu Kun and his subordinates also gladly came over to accept the invitation."
Brother Gradually, the Huaxing Army is powerful, and the brother was defeated as soon as he fought with them.We have to find a way not to wait for death in this lonely city. ”As soon as Liu Kun took his seat, he raised his wine glass and saluted Li Hongzhang, and drank with a melancholy face."
Brother Da Xianzhuang, don't hide it, Qiao Zhiqing can come to this day, and he blames the old man for not employing people very much, and he didn't see his wolf ambitions.Now that the difference in our strength is too great, the old man is still thinking about whether to surrender or not, this old bone, what are you fighting with the young man. ”Li Hongzhang gave Liu Kunyi another full glass of wine, coughed a few times, and his face was full of embarrassment.But Yu Guang stared at Liu Kunyi's face very sharply, wanting to know something from above.Liu Kunyi's heart really moved slightly, and a trace of excitement immediately appeared on his face.Although it was only a flash, it did not escape Li Hongzhang's eyes."
Brother Gradual, you said that the imperial court has long been unable to take care of this place in the south of the Yangtze River.Now that we don't even have a way back, surrender is a good option, and my brother often thinks about it. ”Liu Kun secretly thought that Li Hongzhang also had the intention of surrendering, so he spit out casually, wanting to touch the true thoughts in Li Hongzhang's heart.If you can say that Li Hongzhang surrendered without blood, it will be a great achievement."
Brother Da Xian, it seems that we are thinking of going together.The old man wanted to make peace with Qiao Zhiqing, but he couldn't get in the way, and there was no middleman to match, so he held on until now. ”Li Hongzhang pretended to sigh sadly, and his face inadvertently showed a trace of coldness."
Brother Gradual, what's so difficult about this.Let me tell you the truth, my brother and Qiao Zhi have been in contact early in the morning.If Brother Fu is willing, Brother Fu will personally match for you, and we will vote for Qiao Zhiqing together, and we will be regarded as the founding hero in the future.It's better than burying the Qing Dynasty here.Liu Kunyi looked at Li Hongzhang's lonely appearance, and thought that he really had the will to surrender.So he changed his strategy, trying to take advantage of this to persuade him to surrender, and there was one less fight.Li Hongzhang played with the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Liu Kun's expression becoming extremely stern."
Brother Da Xian, you have such a big face."
Li Hongzhang suddenly laughed coldly and slammed the wine glass on the ground.At this time, a pair of soldiers and horses holding foreign guns suddenly appeared from all around, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at Liu Kunyi and several generals."
Brother Gradual, what do you mean" Liu Kunyi frowned coldly, and said coldly to Li Hongzhang."
Liu Kunyi, you old boy.Zeng Dashuai, who we voted for together, has long sworn to be loyal to the country, why do you want to frame the old man today" Li Hongzhang pointed to Liu Kunyi's nose and roared hoarsely."
Brother Gradual, you're wrong, why do you think I'm going to frame you.Brother just wants to plan a way out for you, and it's too chilling for you to do so. ”Liu Kunyi secretly scolded Li Hongzhang in his heart for being cunning and cunning, and he had to make a loyal and unyielding expression on his face."
The way out" Li Hongzhang laughed coldly when he heard this, and continued to scold, "The old man is a person from the court at birth, and a ghost from the court when he dies."
The backyard of this government has prepared a coffin, just waiting to fight with the Qing army.You, a scheming minister, at the juncture of the imperial court's death, don't say that you are desperate to serve the emperor.But he tried his best to sell his lord for glory, and he really didn't cry when he saw the coffin. ”"Li Hongzhang, to do things is to talk about evidence.You are so dignified that you have come to frame me, I think you are the one with evil intentions. ”Liu Kun quibbled and tried to delay the time as much as possible.He had already made a plan with the Huaxing army, if he had not received a signal from the city at noon, then the Huaxing army could start attacking the city."
Evidence, the old man will let you see the evidence.Come on, bring them up. ”Li Hongzhang snorted coldly and waved his hand outside the door."
Adults spare their lives, don't care about the affairs of the villains" "Adults spare their lives." ”As soon as Liu Kun looked back, he saw that the generals in his army didn't know when they had been completely captured by Li Hongzhang.He was covered in bloodstains from being whipped, and at a glance, he knew that he had been tortured to extract a confession."
Li Hongzhang, you are too presumptuous.They are my men, and what right do you have to interrogate them?
”Liu Kunyi also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he slapped his hand on the table with a wave of his hand, and shouted angrily at Li Hongzhang.Li Hongzhang laughed coldly, did not argue with him, and with a wave of his hand, he asked his subordinates to tie up Liu Kunyi and several generals around him."
You, a traitor, dare to frame me with Qiao Zhiqing.Now the old man will take you to the city wall and behead you.Let Qiao Zhiqing also take a look, there are still loyal ministers in this Qing Dynasty. ”Li Hongzhang scolded fiercely, and waved his hand to let his subordinates escort Liu Kunyi out."
Li Hongzhang, you lackey of the Qing court.We are all descendants of the Han people, why bother to work for the Manchurians, it's too late for you to regret it now. ”Liu Kunyi struggled, his voice became quieter and quieter, and finally he was escorted to the city wall along with the generals.Last night, Li Hongzhang and Zhou Fu conspired, after Liu Kunyi and his henchmen fell asleep.Under the pretense of Liu Kunyi's military order, he invited other generals into the mansion, but they were locked in the dungeon in the backyard and tortured.These generals didn't know Liu Kunyi's plan, but they honestly explained the situation along the way.is not the same as Liu Kunyi said, he was defeated by the Huaxing army and dragged to Jinhua Mansion.Instead, he took the initiative to send troops to Jinhua Mansion, and was only harassed by a small group of Huaxing troops along the way, and did not encounter the main force.As soon as Li Hongzhang analyzed, he knew that Liu Kun must have wanted to design and cooperate with Huaxing Army.So he set up the banquet as soon as possible, wanting to set Liu Kunyi's words.Unexpectedly, Liu Kunyi naively thought that Li Hongzhang would really want to surrender.Unconsciously revealed his feet in his words, which made Li Hongzhang even more sure of his judgment:
