The two who were interrupted by good things were in a bad mood, but when they heard that soldiers came, no one dared to neglect them. Zhao Guanhou sorted out his clothes, picked up his pistol, walked out, and said to Yu Qing: "You go and look at Lao Taishui, I have left a gun for you, but even if the enemy or not friends come, they should not be able to hit there."

Yu Qing's clothes were taken off halfway, and while wearing them, he also instructed him with concern, "I'm fine, just be careful. Could it be the members of the Wuwei Army? Those bandits are very lawless. If they are them, you should be more careful."

When he came outside, Dong Jun also realized that he was not the time to come. He smiled awkwardly, "It was the brother who was standing guard in front who came back to report the message, saying that a soldier came here, and Lord Cao had already brought a group of troops to meet him. The villain was a little worried..."

"Young master, don't be polite. Tell me it's right. Don't worry, no matter whether you are enemies or friends, there will be no problem with the precious treasures and the money."

Zhao Guanhou walked forward while speaking. At this time, the fourth battalion troops had already gathered a battalion of troops, and the other troops were gathering in an emergency. Although they were only temporarily resting when they entered the village, they also chose a more favorable terrain. In addition, the equipment of the Wuwei rear army was extremely poor, even if they came, Zhao Guanhou didn't care much.

Not long after, Cao Zhongkun came back from the front with a lantern, with a happy look on his face, "Guanhou, the one who came was his own. He was a brother of the Wuwei Front Army, and the one who led the team was Ren Shengren. Now these places have been taken over by the front army, so we don't have to worry about anything."

There were many children of the Huai Army in the Wuwei Front Army. These people were considered soldiers and had a strong relationship with each other. Cheng Gongting was their rice master and also the benefactor. Because the former gave Cheng Gongting a standout in Tianjin, many people in the Wuwei Front Army were grateful to Zhao Guanhou, especially Ren Sheng was considered a familiar face, so the relationship was better. If he led the troops, it would be better to speak.

In this era, it is still very difficult to march at night, including in another plane, the troops claimed to be elite. The marching will happen, let alone the Jin soldiers at this time. Ren Sheng was able to lead the two battalions of troops to march at night, which made Zhao Guanhou look at him differently.

After meeting, Zhao Guanhou realized that Ren Sheng had come here to follow Cheng Gongting's military orders, and Cheng Gongting received Han Rong's orders. He sent troops to escort Zhao Guanhou and his party so that the Fourth Battalion of Wuwei Right Army was moved back.

"There was no trouble in the capital. The people of the regiment burned Nantang and besieged Beitang again. Although it rained, they could not stop their offensive. They killed them for a day. The old Buddha was so angry that he had just given Chongli's officers to the Ministry for discussion. However, it was useless. The capital was still in chaos. The Boxers killed people and set fire to the fire and robbed the door of the mansion. The whole capital was in chaos. The Wuwei rear army not only refused to push the ground, but also colluded with the Boxers and helped them fight the embassy. After attacking twice, they had no attack, so they had to withdraw their troops. Zhong Shuai said that if this continued, it would lead to a great chaos and demanded that troops be transferred to Beijing to capture the bandits immediately. However, the only soldiers who could catch the bandits were the four battalions of the Right Army."

Zhao Guanhou nodded constantly, and led the troops from the fourth battalion out, and also had the intention to keep them away from right and wrong. The so-called bandits are the people who are not afraid of themselves. What we really need to consider is the attitudes of Duan, Zhuang, Xu Tong, Ganglie and others. The second is the thoughts of Empress Dowager Cixi himself.

From Han Rong to Yu Qing, they were not as thorough as King Qing. The reason why the Flying Tiger Group was so harmful was not how barbaric or how fierce it was. But the fact that Empress Dowager Cixi herself had no fixed view. She wanted to maintain public order, but also wanted to use the power of the boxing people to achieve her goals.

This disaster occurred because she was unstable in suppressing and swaying from side to side. If she could decisively issue an order to eliminate it, even a madman like Dong Wuxing would not dare to openly oppose the court. However, now there is no clear instruction, which will lead to the rise of the people. The Wuwei Army also saw the weakness of the court and became more and more arrogant.

If the troops of the fourth battalion do not receive a clear order, they will be enemies in the capital, which will be harmful and not profitable. Has Han Rong obtained a clear imperial decree this time? Ren Sheng said: "Although the decree has not been seen, the old Buddha has indeed issued several edicts in succession. One is to ask the minister Zhang Jue to return to Beijing from Guangdong and Guangxi to hand over the official affairs to the general Guangzhou. The second is to recruit Yuan Futai to Beijing, and think that it is to suppress the bandits. In addition, Tang Qing's left army Ma Yulun's troops were transferred to Beijing from Shanhaiguan, and the defense along the way from Tianjin to Beijing was handed over to our front army. I think this situation is to close the door and beat the dog!"

The so-called dog-beating may not be the people of the Communist Party. They are tacit and needless to explain it thoroughly. When Zhao Guanhou heard this arrangement, he also felt that if he could persist, the general trend might be saved.

If Yuan Weiting led the right army of Wuwei and the vanguard to Beijing, the strength of more than 20,000 people was enough to shock the powerful forces in Dongjiaominxiang, so that they would not dare to raise troops. It was enough to wipe out all the Wuwei rear army, the Flying Tiger Regiment, and the Tiger God Camp. Even if Ma Yulun's troops entered Beijing, there would be more insurance. He had fought against the Fusang Army and was quite brave and regarded as a hero by the Jin Kingdom. With two powerful troops to serve the kings, it should be enough to deal with the situation.

Ren Sheng said again: "The day before, we were in Langfang and won a victory. The foreign devils took a train to enter Beijing. Cheng Junmen set up an ambush in Langfang and asked the Flying Tiger Regiment to stand in front. We were bombarded with guns and guns from behind. If the Japanese were not too hard, they would have suffered a great loss. But even so, they had more than 100 casualties, and there were only 2,000 people. There were so many casualties and injuries, which also hurt their spirits and fled back to Tianjin. As long as the two soldiers entered Beijing, this matter would be settled."

After Zhao Guanhou asked, he learned that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces Seymour led two thousand foreign troops into the Beijing protection embassy, ​​and sent a note to the General Office office in advance and was approved. However, the policy of the Dajin government suddenly changed, and the foreigners did not know that, and they suffered a great loss without taking precautions.

Cheng Gongting's tactic was to take the lead in the formation of the Flying Tiger Regiment, and the Wuwei Army was arrested. As long as he retreated, he would bombard it with guns and cannons, and he was judged as a matter of escape. These regiments and people had never been in battle, and they did not know that the military law was powerful, and they were attacked by the enemy in front and behind, and suffered heavy casualties. The great victory that Ren Sheng mentioned on the surface refers to a great victory over the foreigners, but in fact, it refers to a great victory over the Flying Tiger Regiment. After all, in the battle, the Flying Tiger Regiment suffered heavy casualties, with thousands of casualties. The momentum of the Flying Tiger Regiment in Tianjin was frustrated. In a short period of time, he dared not be as arrogant as before.

Zhao Guanhou frowned when he heard this. Cheng Gongting's plan was indeed very meticulous, which made the brave and young Flying Tiger Group suffer a great loss, but it still couldn't explain the truth. Although this matter would be settled, the Flying Tiger Group would be difficult to do anything. But if the situation changes, the Flying Tiger Group cannot be quickly flattened and the two moves form a deadly enemy, the situation in Tianjin would be very dangerous.

He couldn't say this to Ren Sheng clearly, and only told him about the ambush on the road. Ren Sheng said: "It's okay, our Wuwei Front Army has taken over this journey. If any group members dares to rob the road, we will deal with it. My two battalions are enough to deal with it. The fourth battalion brothers would hurry back to Beijing and suppress those group members. Otherwise, those ignorant things would not know how much trouble would cause. If they really ordered Beitang or entered the embassy, ​​they would be broken."

The front army was not as good as the right army, and the food and salary were not sufficient. Zhao Guanhou discussed for a while with Cao Zhongkun and others, and immediately took out half of the 50,000 taels of employment paid by Siheng and gave it to the front army as a reward. Such a large sum of money made Ren Sheng's eyes a little blurred. He came to his pocket for security, and it was difficult to take out the money he had entered his pocket. Zhao Guanhou gave such money in one sentence, which made Ren Sheng quite moved, and he felt like he was meeting a confidant.

When Zhao Guanhou said goodbye, he was about to return to the room and resume the half of the building just now, but Dong Jun pulled him again, "Sir, let me talk."

They are located in a temporary camp set up by the army. After finding a tent, they can discuss it in secret. Dong Jun is straightforward. "Sir, the villain has made a decision on the cooperation with Huabi Bank you mentioned. Maybe I can't convince my family, but as the eldest son of the house, my property can be controlled. If I don't mention the industry in Beijing, I have several ticket companies in Shanxi, which is my housing industry, and I can make the decision. As long as you nod, we can sign a contract immediately and cooperate with Huabi Bank. Also, I actually have a lot of money in Tianjin..."

As the owner of the largest money house nowadays, Siheng owns a villa in Tianjin. The house is locked for many years and outsiders do not know the purpose, so they just think it is used as a guild hall. In fact, Siheng bought it specially and dug Ksitigarbha silver.

This is a habit that Shanxi merchants developed during the war years, using some silver to treat medicine for anti-corrosion, then cast it into silver ingots and hide it underground for emergency purposes. In Tianjin, Siheng hid 600,000 taels of money in case that once the general number changes, it can be a need for timely demand. The buried place is hidden, and no one can know except the boss and the eldest house.

Dong Jun now uses this money as a deposit and deposits it into Huabi Bank. He also said that the money can be signed and will not be used within ten years, and the interest rate will be set at a very low level. Rather than a deposit, it is a sincere expression, proving that he sincerely cooperates with Huabi Bank to achieve win-win results between both parties.

He said again: "We are now making a contract, and I will give away three votes in my name to you as your shares in Siheng. From today on, within Siheng, you will have a share of money. As long as Siheng does not collapse, you can pay dividends and interest every year. Although the money is not much, it is also a heart."

Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "I want to thank the young master for his kindness first. But I don't understand why this is the case? Zhao is just a martial artist, and the second-rank general is probably not even able to catch Siheng's eyes, right? I know that many governors and governors have friendships with Siheng. If you want to invest, these officials should be the ones. I am a martial artist, so I can't help you."

Dong Jun said: "Mr. Zhao, what you said is indeed the truth. It is just that the Shanxi merchants have their own way of establishing themselves for hundreds of years. Our Dong family's greatest ability is not to operate business and make money from money, but to take care of people. In terms of business methods, we may not be better than the Su Bang Ning merchants, but when it comes to looking at things, we are confident and better than him. Back then, the imperial court used martial arts to Jinchuan and helped the military supplies and grain stations, and needed to pay huge sums of money. Everyone thought it was a business that was a loss but not profitable. As long as the Ministry of Revenue cleared one card, it would make people lose everything. Our Shanxi merchants took the initiative to help with the grain stations, so that we have so many business stores in the northwest and outside the pass today. Now, I am also learning from my predecessors. If I did not make a difference, Lord Zhao would have great achievements in the future. At that time, if we want to make friends with you, I am afraid that we may not be qualified."

He gave a solemn greeting, "Sir, this can be regarded as an investment from Dong. I am willing to use Siheng's financial resources to support him. I just want to take care of Siheng in the future. If we join forces, there will be no one in the world that can block our way to make a fortune."

Zhao Guanhou no longer refused, "Since that's the case, then it's time for the young boss to prepare a contract. But the ugly saying goes, I don't have that much confidence in myself. If you invest wrongly this time, don't blame me."

By the late night, he went back to the room, and the one waiting there had been replaced by a beautiful woman from the Western Regions. Jason stretched out his snow-rooted arm and put it on him, and smiled and said, "I woke up in front of Mrs. Xu, and she called her daughter back... I'm very smart, isn't it a pity that my boots are covered with mud, but if you want, I can quickly wipe it clean."

"No need, time is tight, it's too late. Let's hurry up before dawn..."

After the room was quiet, Zhao Guanhou gave Siheng shares and 600,000 taels of silver one by one. Jane Sen smiled and said, "Very good, Siheng seems to be very smart. I originally thought that by taking this opportunity to abandon the largest bank in the Jin Kingdom as my spoil. Now it seems that it might as well leave it a way out and let it become your help. As for the 600,000 taels, it can be used for investment. Now there is a lot of materials needed in the concession, and at the same time, a lot of materials are eager to take action. As long as we see the opportunity, we can make a big profit."

Zhao Guanhou asked, "Are you not afraid of not being able to fight? Are you wasting your efforts?"

"Can't fight? How could it be possible? The chariot has already been on the track, and no one can stop it. Besides, your Lafayette is not firm in the position. At least Lord Cheng Gongting has not restored his military rank yet, right? Why do you think that she yearns for peace?"

When Zhao Guanhou heard this, he was speechless. The glimmer of hope that had already appeared in his heart gradually cooled down.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Guanhou found that the sky was covered by dark clouds again, the climate was as harsh as yesterday, the air was stuffy, hot and humid, and even if he stood still, sweat would drill out from his body.

The rain yesterday did not help relieve the heat. The military discipline of the front army was not as strict as the Right Army. The soldiers who were escorting the car took off their military uniforms and pushed the cart forward. Ren Sheng found a fan and slapped the wind while saying, "This year, August, this weather is really amazing, it makes people unable to bear it. It doesn't rain, and the crops in Zhili are over."

Yu Qing was not afraid of men's bare shirtlessness, nor was she shy. She walked with Zhao Guanhou and said after hearing this: "I heard that there were folk songs in Beijing, Run August, and use swords and weapons. When Ping Changhai was still in the morning, it was Run August, and several groups of people advanced together. The situation improved at that time. This year it was Run August again, and I don't know if I would use swords and weapons again."

Ren Sheng laughed loudly, "When you use swords and weapons, you will be able to move with each other. If you move with the flying tiger group, then you will naturally make everything better and you will have no worries. We will just wait for the happy faith."

Zhao Guanhou thought about Jane Sen's words and looked at her. The two looked at each other. They had many worries in their eyes, not as optimistic as Yu Qing and Ren Sheng. Zhao Guanhou looked at the sky and felt that today's dark clouds seemed to be more than yesterday, but the hope of clearing was impossible to see at all. The storm was brewing, and the one who was missing was that it was unknown when it would come.
