After the decree of the peace talks was issued, the monk Lin Geqin was depressed and angry, and returned to Xinyang with the cavalry in a fit of anger.The daily consumption of 300,000 troops is a big problem, and the Qing army now does not have a perfect logistics support system.If it continues like this, Xiangyang City has not been taken, and the whole army will be consumed here.From ancient times to the present, from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River, those who get Xiangyang get Guanzhong, and those who get Xinyang get the Central Plains.On the day of the pacification of Jiangnan, the imperial court dropped the cavalry of Seng Lin Geqin to Xinyang to guard the gate.Monk Lin Geqin is also conscientious, looking at the south of the Yangtze River every day, only hating that his war horse cannot fly across the Yangtze River.The last page of the secret report is about the members of this peace talks, and Qiao Zhiqing has a rough look.The members of the royal family were represented by Prince Gong Yixin, and the members of the Han nationality were unexpectedly represented by Qi Junzao."
No wonder I saw so many people in the capital today, it turned out that they came to hang out with the peace group.This guy is really leisurely, and when he left the capital, he forgot what his mission was. ”Qiao Zhiqing muttered secretly, put down the military newspaper and spread out the topographic map and pondered for a while."
Ziyou, when will the peace mission arrive in Nanjing" Qiao Zhiqing raised his head and asked casually."
When this secret message was sent, the peace mission was ready to leave.The first group of members of the entourage has already settled in the Jiangnan Hotel in Nanjing, and the second group of key members should arrive tomorrow. ”Wei Ziyou replied affirmatively."
Alright, you go out first.Send the fire fox to strictly monitor the city of Nanjing, don't let these boys make any trouble. ”Qiao Zhiqing nodded, and commanded with a worried face."
Okay, then I'll go first, and I'll inform you of the situation."
Wei Ziyou smiled and bowed, turned around and went out."
Peace talks" Qiao Zhiqing looked at the directions of the various armies on the topographic map, let out a long sullen breath, stood up, lit a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth.Now that Jiangnan has been decided, what is needed is time to resume production.All places are places to spend money, and if the Northern Expedition starts in a hurry, even if the Qing court is driven to the northeast, it will not be able to control such a large territory for a while and a half.The turmoil in the northwest has not yet been settled, the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in the southwest have not yet been decided, and the foreigners in the East China Sea are eyeing each other, so peace talks can be regarded as a good choice.At least the Qing court controlled Jiangbei, and the various factions would not fall into a melee, and it would be even more difficult to clean up at that time."
Brother Qiao, your second brother has something to see outside the door."
Zeng Jiyun said a sweet voice after entering the door, breaking the silence in the room and pulling Qiao Zhiqing out of his sorrow."
Let him in."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled faintly at Zeng Jiyun, calmed down, and sat down on the couch."
Zhiqing, tell you good news, guess who is coming to Nanjing" Before Qiao Zhiyuan entered the door, laughter came in."
It's Teacher Qi Junzao who wants to come," Qiao Zhiqing replied with a smile, picked up the teapot, poured two cups of herbal tea, and put them on the small table on the couch."
Hey, how do you know" After Qiao Zhiyuan entered the door, he got on the couch and took a sip of herbal tea.Now it is the beginning of the sun, the sun outside is scorching, and the whole body is covered with sweat beads when I exercise."
I naturally know about such a big matter as the imperial court peace talks."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and took a sip of herbal tea."
Then what do you think of this matter, do you want to rule the river with the imperial court" Qiao Zhiyuan looked at his younger brother curiously, not knowing what choice he, the third brother, would make."
What does the second brother think of this question" Qiao Zhiqing didn't answer, but wanted to hear Qiao Zhiyuan's opinion with a curious face."
Now that the treasury is empty, all parts of the south of the Yangtze River have not yet recovered, and they are in a hurry to go on a northern expedition, which is to rush for quick success.Even if you win the world, you can't sit firmly in the world. ”Qiao Zhiyuan talked eloquently, and it coincided with Qiao Zhiqing's thoughts."
The second brother's thoughts are in line with my heart, and the reunification of Jiangbei is not in a hurry at this time.How did the second brother know that the teacher was coming," Qiao Zhiqing asked curiously."
Oh, it's the old man's grandson Qi Youshen who came over in advance, and traveled around Jiangsu, and only today I found out about my residence to visit.He was accompanied by Prince Yiyun and some princes and nobles. ”Qiao Zhiyuan replied without concealment.He turned out to be the top student in high school, and he was already favored by Qi Junzao.For this fellow villager in Shanxi, Qi Junzao has taken care of it.originally hoped that he would stay in the imperial court, but Qiao Zhiyuan couldn't get used to the open and secret battles in the imperial court, so he sent Yan'an to be the prefect."
Isn't Prince Yiyun the brother-in-law of Cixi" Qiao Zhiqing thought about it carefully, not that he paid special attention to him, but that his son was the future Emperor Guangxu, but at this time, it seemed that this unlucky guy had not been born yet."
Yes, that's right.Cixi specially brought him with him in the imperial mission appointed this time, and it seems that she wants to reuse him. ”Qiao Zhiyuan looked at his younger brother in surprise, not knowing when this third brother became omniscient.Qiao Zhiqing smiled and didn't answer, and instructed the second brother, "The standard of the court's peace talks this time is so high, we can't wronged those two little widows."
Tomorrow, if the delegation for peace talks comes, the two of us will call the ministers of the cabinet to accompany us, and we will have a good talk with the Qing Dynasty. ”"Okay, then I'll go down and discuss with the ministers and draw up a program for peace talks, so that I won't be in a hurry when the time comes."
Qiao Zhiyuan nodded, got off the couch and said goodbye to Qiao Zhiqing.It was already dark, Qiao Zhiqing was also a little tired and stretched, and after getting up and going out, he wanted to inform Zeng Jiyun that the girl was off work, but he saw her lying on the desk outside and had fallen asleep.Qiao Zhiqing squatted down quietly beside her, carefully looked at her red and tender lips, couldn't help but lean in and kiss her for a while, and hugged her into the study with a chuckle.After Zeng Jiyun lay down on the couch, she stretched lazily and comfortably lay on her side, facing Qiao Zhiqing.She wore a short-sleeved cheongsam today, wrapping her plump breasts full and tight.The hem of the cheongsam was just below the knee, and on the side of the body, the round and greasy thighs were exposed, finely carved and white as jade.Fat rings and swallows are thin, each with its own merits.Zeng Jiyun is not the kind of slender woman, and she even has a little fat on her waist.But it is very well-proportioned, and it is so round that people can't help but want to hold it in their arms at a glance.The two slept with blankets on their own for the night, and early the next morning, Wei Ziyou reported outside the door.The Qing court's envoy had already stayed at the Jiangnan Hotel in Nanjing, and sent an envoy to deliver Qiao Zhiqing with a credential for the peace talks, and the envoy was waiting outside the courtyard to be summoned.Qiao Zhiqing patted Zeng Jiyun's buttocks and wanted to wake her up, Zeng Jiyun was sleeping sweetly, hiding under the blanket and pouting but refusing to open her eyes.Qiao Zhiqing looked at her and smiled helplessly.I went out of the study and washed up in the lobby.Miko Abe had already made warm water for him, and after waiting for him to finish washing, she made a pot of hot tea and brought it up.Qiao Zhiqing sat down on the main seat, picked up the tea bowl and rinsed his mouth, and ordered Wei Ziyou to bring the messenger in.Wei Ziyou smiled and stepped back, and after a while, he led up a young man with handsome eyebrows.A brocade robe and jade belt are indescribably expensive."
The president is above, and the envoy of the Great Qing Dynasty, Prince Yixun, greets him.This is our national credential for paying a visit to the President, and I would like to ask the President to take a look at it. ”The young man stood in the hall master and saluted with his fists, holding a yellow-skinned fold in his hand."
Bring it in."
Qiao Zhiqing commanded, and Yiyun handed the fold to Qiao Zhiqing's hand."
Sit down and talk."
Qiao Zhiqing opened the fold, chuckled at Yixun, and pointed to the guest seat on the side.This young man was the one he met in Yan Laoshi's shop, and at this time he changed into splendid clothes, which made him even more wealthy."
Thank you, President."
Yi Xun hugged his fists and thanked him, and sat down in the guest seat, every movement was generous and decent, obviously well-educated.The letter of state is written in official italics, and the above reads, "In the third year of Tongzhi, I heard that the president established the country in Jiangnan, and the whole dynasty was shocked."
The great president was also the king of Zhennan of the Great Qing Kingdom, so self-reliant, wouldn't it violate the way of the saint to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, my Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom has a broad heart, and he no longer cares about the meritorious service of the king of Zhennan when he defended the country.Today, a special envoy was sent to discuss the matter of peace, and he also asked the president to think about the common people in the world.Wouldn't it be beautiful to put down the sword and coexist peacefully with my Great Qing Kingdom" "It's really time to save face, and you're still begging for cheapness" Qiao Zhiqing scolded secretly in his heart, but there was still a smile on his face."
Prince Alcohol, I have accepted the credentials of your country.I would be grateful if you could convey to the mission that we will meet formally tomorrow to discuss specific matters of peace. ”Qiao Zhiqing gave a clear command, threw the national letter on the table on the side casually, and deliberately humiliated Yi Xun."
Well, I'm going to go back and pass it on.Great President, farewell. ”Yi Xun's face moved, but it didn't manifest itself, and it was still a smile from some city government and clasped his fists and saluted.After Qiao Zhiqing nodded, he withdrew from the door."
Miko, take this thing to the firewood room and burn it."
Qiao Zhiqing pointed to the national letter on the table and instructed Miko Abe, and scolded in his heart, "These Manchu Tartars really regard themselves as human beings."
If it weren't for Lao Tzu, in order to deal with foreign devils, he would have crossed the Yangtze River in minutes and smashed your bird position. ”After Miko Abe obediently took the national credentials and retreated, Qiao Zhiqing pushed open the door of the study and walked in.Zeng Jiyun was still lazily dreaming, Qiao Zhiqing closed the door and sat down with her body.I don't know when, this girl actually took off the cheongsam on her body, leaving only half of the silk profane clothes and triangular pink profane pants.The white and tender body was exposed, and the whole body was as smooth as ever.Like a well-carved piece of jade, without a trace of flaws.Qiao Zhiqing put his big hand on her thin buttocks, stroked back and forth along her thighs, and wandered around her garden after a while.Zeng Jiyun didn't know whether she was dreaming or waking up, but her face was flushed and she grabbed Qiao Zhiqing's big hand and began to gasp.The pink dirty pants were wet by the stream after a while, and they were slippery and wet all over Qiao Zhiqing's entire fingers, and from time to time they also exuded a faint scent of daughters
