Chapter 187 Yi Fu

Zhao Guanhou is not a generous person, especially he has always adhered to the principle of killing mistakes but not letting go. Although he may not love Hannah, a girl younger than him, he is not happy to see her getting engaged to Li Man. Furthermore, he rescued her and asked her to marry someone else. Who did he tell me about this hard work? This is the way he takes retreat as his advancement, which is to serve his plans.

"Yes, I said I would give you a gift, a precious gift, and I will fulfill my promise." With Zhao Guanhou's skills, he was able to deal with such a small head, which was almost considered a killer. Hannah's front almost didn't resist much, and fell one by one and fell under the control of Zhao Guanhou.

As he thought, he gave hundreds of millions of descendants as gifts, and it was already a waste of money. Even if Bassen opposes, he would still be a cheap grandfather. But at this moment when he was about to be about to reach the sword and walk, a messy footsteps came from the entrance of the cave, and the man's shouting "Hannah, are you here?"

No matter what, Hannah couldn't do anything with Zhao Guanhou at this time. Zhao Guanhou even withdrew before she made resistance to show her gentlemanly demeanor.

Hannah gasped and tidied her clothes in a hurry. Only then did she realize how dangerous she was just now. She must be crazy. How could she do these things in such a place... She lifted her skirt shyly and said in a crying voice:

"Guanhou, I will wait for you... and wait until we are both white-haired and do whatever we can. I believe that one day, we will walk into the church and receive blessings. But... but we can't do anything like today... God will not forgive us. I must repent to wash away my sins."

Zhao Guanhou secretly cursed the visitor. They not only ruined their own good things, but also made Hannah wary. If she wanted to eat this Prussian angel in the future, it would probably take a lot of trouble.

"Hannah, you are indeed here. Well, if you can't find it again, our young man may be mobilizing everyone to search." Bishop Andrew came over with a laugh, and followed by Marquis Little Liman. Andrew is a Chinese master, and he speaks in a man-made manner, comparable to that foreign tax officer of the Tax Department, and is more authentic than many officials in Dajin.

Hannah respected the bishop very much. During her capture, she was also taken care of by the other party. She quickly bowed and walked out with the corner of her skirt. Andrew shook her head, "Poor little girl, everyone who falls in love is stupid, and she is no exception. Lord Zhao, this is a girl as pure as an angel. I hope you don't hurt her."

"Don't worry, Bishop, Zhao will never hurt her." Zhao Guanhou said to himself: How can humans continue major events? At most, it is to produce some blood, which cannot be called damage.

Liman Xiao made an invitation gesture to Zhao Guanhou, "Your Excellency, I want to talk to you. First of all, I want to apologize to you, for my arrogance and rudeness when I was in Tianjin last time, and secondly, I would like to express my gratitude to you. If it weren't for your help, I think it would be difficult for us to leave here."

"Marquis Leeman, you are so kind. This is our responsibility."

"Okay, this is the second point I want to say, consensus. Your country's Governor Yu is not friendly to us. I suspect that these robbers have received his support and acquiescent. So what I want to talk to you about is the protection of Prussia's interests in China. The warehouse of the Qingdao office of Lihe Foreign Company stores a batch of current most advanced military equipment. At the same time, the Foreign Company can provide a group of excellent technicians. If you are willing, we can talk about the issues of equipment and personnel. We work together to safeguard our country's rights and interests in Shandong."

Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "I thought the Marquis wanted to talk to me about Hannah."

"Oh no, if it was me a year ago, I would definitely use Hannah to exchange it with you. But now, I will not do such stupid things. I will try my best to win Hannah, rely on myself, not on others. As for business, it is just business. Today, we only talk about business. I hope everyone can cooperate. If you buy this batch of equipment, you must hire Chinese technicians. If there is financial difficulties, you can only borrow money from our banks. The price is the Catholic Church's missionary right in Shandong and the mining power. Bishop Andrew also wants to talk to you about the security of the church."

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "I am very interested in these topics, really, very interested in them. But my level is not enough. Only the governor of Shandong, not me, a foreign military officer."

Li Man smiled, "I think the governor of Shandong will soon be your chief official, Lord Yuan, and as long as you agree, Lord Yuan will not object. Based on your help to us, we will choose you as the negotiator for this business. This is also the reward of the Li Man family. We do not owe anyone favors."

In Zaozhuang City, it was like a flood receding, and it was in chaos. The burned houses were filled with smoke, door panels, carts and other things used as offensive weapons, and were scattered everywhere. On the ground, discarded red turbans were everywhere, and they were covered in belly. Because they were trampled by others, they were already filthy.

Accompanied by these red scarves, there were weapons such as swords, guns, forks, and the corpses of boxers who invited Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Yang Zongbao. Some of them were not dead, injured, fell in the corner, or struggled on the ground, making painful screams. The dark red blood did not have time to seep into the ground, and formed a stream on the street full of excrement.

A large number of Jin soldiers in Western military uniforms were carrying yellow dragon flags and rifles, searching for the remaining boxers everywhere. In the middle of the team, the yellow flag used by the governor stretched in the wind, with a big word "Yuan" written on it.

Under the banner, a short and fat middle-aged man in military uniform and holding a saber was Yuan Weiting, who was the deputy minister of the Zhili Governor of the Office. Behind him were the Wuwei Right Army, 10,000 soldiers. Starting from the Wuwei Right Army entering Shandong, it announced that Shandong had entered a new era.

The officials who came to deal with the aftermath of foreigners arrived in Baodukou two days later. The person who came was not comparable to the alternate Taoist lieutenant like Guo Yunsheng, but Zhang Renjun, the second-ranked official in Shandong, who was appointed as the governor of the government.

He was the nephew of Zhang Peilun, a famous official in Beiyang at that time. His shrine was a very famous general in the Qingliu. He was famous in the court for his good at fighting in this chapter. He was collectively known as the Four Hanlin Advice together with Zhang Xiangtao, Baoting and Chen Baochen in Huguang. However, his official duties were not strong, and he suffered a great loss when he was appointed as the Fujian Navy. The entire Nanyang Navy was almost wiped out and he never recovered and did nothing again.

Zhang Renjun was born in Hanyuan. He first placed the salt road and then transferred to the vassal state. He served as a governor in Guangdong and Guangxi, and later fought with the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and moved to Shandong. He was also very proficient in Western Affairs and was not conservative. Because of this, he could not get along with Qiu Yang's Yuxian. In this carjacking case, Yuxian did not allow Zhang Renjun to participate in this carjacking case, and there were doubts that Zhang Renjun was talking about the words of foreigners and suppressing the vassal state by raising the Taiwan Straits, so his life would be difficult.

But now the situation has changed dramatically, Shandong Yifu, so he changed from black to red, changed his post with Yuan Weiting, and worshiped his brothers. In the Shandong officialdom, he soared into the sky and became a hot figure.

This time, he came with him the famous Shandong general Xia Shaoxiang. He followed Zuo Ji Gao to the west and made great achievements. He had also seen foreigners. He was considered the first-class famous general in Shandong. He was even quite afraid of him with the bandits in Baodugu.

Fortunately, Zhang Renjun was very polite. After going up the mountain, he had a secret talk with Zhao Guanhou for a while, and then went to meet Bishop Andrew and several other representatives from foreigners. Finally, he announced that the carjacking incident was successfully resolved. The people in Baodugu Mountain Village accepted the court's recruitment, establishment, and arrangements were made before making arrangements after visiting Governor Yuan. As for compensation and appeasement to the foreigners, the consuls of Pu and Afghanistan countries will also be discussed with Governor Yuan and will give a plan.

When he came, he had already allocated a special car to send foreigners to his destination, and Zhao Guanhou and others took this car to pay homage to Yuan Weiting.

As soon as he heard that he had finally received the help, Sun Meiyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. The sword hanging on Baodugu's head finally didn't have to fall down. These Green Forest people would not fight the government desperately. Although Xia Shaoxiang was old, he was in good spirits and did not aging at all. After chatting with Sun Guiliang for a few words, he said specifically:

"Yu Futai, in fact, I gave an order to wipe out all the cliques in Mengyin. I don't want to fight hard with you, and it's all gone. But as a soldier, I should obey the military orders and cannot disobey. Thanks to Lord Zhao's timely telegraph of the court and explaining the interests, the court sent another call to the court not to act rashly, which saved a major disaster."

He thought of Yu Xian's previous command and was a little dissatisfied, but at this time he had been dismissed from office and handed over to the Ministry of Justice. If he said something, he would be suspected of taking advantage of the situation. He only said:

"He was fooled by the people around him and acted a little recklessly, but you yourself also had some indecision. It can be seen that foreigners were about to invade the entire Shandong. If they really got that step, you would be the sinners of our Shandong! Since they became the military commander of the court in the future, they should strictly abide by military discipline and must not resurface the old ways."

Sun Guiliang had dealt with him, but he was really afraid of this veteran. He had no malice in his words, but he was really giving advice, so he had to nod and say anything more.

When he got on the train, Zhang Renjun invited Zhao Guanhou to his carriage. He was very kind in his attitude and had no airs. He was from Hanyuan, and a general like Zhao Guanhou could not be regarded as a person. However, his expression was very humble and knew how to be a human being.

After the two talked, Zhao Guanhou realized that during the trip to Baodugu these days, the situation in Shandong changed several times, and it was almost out of control, but it eventually turned into danger. He sent a telegram at the Marquis Li Man's office, which became a key move.

Since the carjacking incident, public opinion among the various countries in the capital was in an uproar. The ministry represented by Clinder protested several times to the affairs offices of various countries of the Jin Dynasty. Both countries and Pu were all fiercely remarked. Fusang Minister Sutaro Komura even proposed at the ministerial meeting that since the Jin Dynasty could not ensure the smooth operation of the railway, it was recommended that the Shandong railway rights be taken back from the Jin Dynasty court and handed over to the joint jurisdiction of all countries.

This proposal was supported by the ministers of various countries, and they all told the court that if the hostage incident cannot be properly handled, the right to road in Shandong Province will be jointly supervised by all countries to ensure that such incidents will not happen again. This proposal is like plunder, and the Jin court naturally cannot agree, but once the hostages are killed and the right to road is not handed over, there will be a war in an instant.

Then, Zhao Guanhou sent a telegram from Shandong, first explaining the harm of the Kan and Li punches, and then saying that Yu Xian had restrained and destroyed many of them. He even detained those who came to negotiate and almost wanted to kill them. Finally, he said that Prussia was ready for war and intended to occupy the entire Shandong, which strengthened the court's desire to comfort the court.

Originally, Yuxian was not replaced at the beginning, and he was known as a capable person. He was also very honest and had a good reputation in the court. With such a big case, if he had been dismissed, he would be afraid that no one would dare to take the seal. However, the incidents he dealt with now are about to evolve and cannot be taken care of, so he can't take much care of it. Let's withdraw it first.

As for the successor, Han Rong protected Yuan Weiting, and his position as an assistant minister, it was very appropriate to release the governor. The Wuwei Right Army can fight, and the Empress Dowager saw them with her own eyes that they could do it. If foreigners really use swords and weapons to face each other, only the Wuwei Right Army can be the only one.

Zhao Guanhou was also a subordinate of Yuan Weiting. The two of them had the most tacit understanding of their cooperation, which was also considered as the court gave convenience to the greatest extent and granted Yuan a free act and had full power to deal with it. The implication was that as long as they could protect the foreigners, they should not take any weapons, whether it was recruiting or paying money, they should be followed.

Emperor Tianyou hated Yuan Weiting very much, but his hatred was meaningless. As soon as the empress dowager's order arrived, he could do nothing except according to the script. Therefore, he issued two consecutive edicts by military aircraft, one issued by Ming and the other sent by the court. The court sent the edict ordered Yuan Weiting to hand over the work and take office immediately. Ming's edict was to dismiss Yuxian's post as the governor of Shandong and handed over to the Ministry of Justice.

Shortly after these two telegrams were sent, the court received another telegram from Shandong, with more than 2,000 Prussian foreign soldiers departing from Qingdao on a train and moving towards Zaozhuang. At this time, even Empress Dowager Cixi was a little unsteady and summoned military opportunities to discuss the issue of how to deal with it once the war began.

In Zaozhuang City, after Zhu Hongdeng and Monk Xincheng arrived, it was convenient for Zaozhuang to set up bright boxing, and everyone practiced martial arts and demonstrated to foreigners. Zhu Hongdeng had a strong appeal. In a short period of time, thousands of boxers gathered inside and outside Zaozhuang City, and their emotions were rising. Some people had already proposed to kill foreigners in the city and eliminate demons for the country. A company of Prussian cavalry could not do anything at this time, and all contracted to Li Man's residence, and the scene was almost on the verge of breaking out.
