The Su Mansion was razed to the ground during the previous boxing chaos, but now he can only live in the Qing Mansion for a while. Shanqi is a humorous person and belongs to the part of the relatives and nobles in the capital. He also likes to be a singer and is good at singing. He is a good partner with the famous Mr. Xianzhen, a fan of the four nine cities. He is said to be a drama fan, but today, his spirit is not in the drama.

He and Zhao Guanhou were very familiar faces on the way, and they spoke more openly and didn't have so much worries.

"Kawashima Langsu is a strange man. This time I was back to Beijing, and what I saw and heard can only be described in four words. It is a terrible sight. In the capital, except for Qingdi, all the other palaces have basically lived in foreign soldiers. The Summer Palace and Jingshan were all harmed by foreigners. Prince Yi was beaten to death by foreigners, and the prince was also humiliated by this. This is the shame of the ancestors. I thought to myself at that time, my ancestors blessed me, and I must not enter the foreign soldiers as well. As a result, I went outside the Forbidden City and saw that it was Fusang's soldiers standing guard, and a three-foot boy was not allowed to enter. The Fusang people have strict military discipline and do not offend their internal relatives. This is really an example of all the armies. Also, the patrol system implemented in the Fusang occupied area is much more advanced than the Baojia of our Dajin. People say that the great powers are the means of the great powers. When they see them today, they know what the means of the great powers are."

He drank a sip of wine and saw that King Qing was listening to the play, and then he whispered: "Half of our defeat in the Great Jin Dynasty this time was caused by his own fault. If he had not believed King Duan's nonsense, believed in the flying tiger group pretending to be a god, and declared war with various countries, why would we be beaten like this by foreigners? It was already a waste of time and nothing was useful, but if we could wake up and work hard for it, it would be a blessing for the country. If we wanted to lie on firewood and revitalize the country, we would need talents. Kawashima Wave is an amazing talent."

Chengzhen also said: "Shen Yi is right. I have seen him. This man is a Chinese master and speaks very authentic. If he hadn't admitted that he was an American, anyone would have thought he was a Chinese. He was very friends and capable. When Shan Yi left Beijing, the old concubine and Shan Er were both in Beijing. Kawashima took Fusang soldiers to protect Su Di's family and did not frighten them. This was a great favor."

"Not only that, he has a teacher-student relationship with Fuso's commander Akatsuma Fukushima, and has a little friendship with Fuso's minister Komura Sutaro. He came forward and made a move. I think he could open a gap from Fuso people and let foreigners reach peace as soon as possible."

Zhao Guanhou nodded and looked at Chengzhen, "Brother Zhen, since there is such a relationship, why don't you tell my father-in-law? Isn't it great to let Lao Taishan meet with this Kawashima?"

Cheng Zhen shook his head, "Ama is not easy to manage, especially now that Zhang Shaoquan is now, he won't rush forward. If you can retreat, you will not take the initiative to take care of it. Besides, he has no contact with Kawashima. A ronin can't let the prince hand him over, right? I mentioned it to Ama, but Ama is not interested. I think, this credit can only be made by you. Now you talk to Ama, it is more effective than me. Talk to Kawashima and decide this matter earlier is also a credit, right?"

After the show was over, Zhao Guanhou was resting in Yuqing's room. When he mentioned Kawashima Langsu, Yuqing snorted, "Stop running with Chengzhen. What kind of serious business can he have? It's just to use you as a guise to run to the Fusang Chronicle Hall. I heard that when he met the Fusang people, he went there to fool around. The Fusang women don't know how dirty they are, so you are not allowed to touch them."

Zhao Guanhou smiled and kissed her on the face, "Jingful Princess, I will repay you with all my strength, so you should be relieved. Kawashima, this person, has to go see him, otherwise Shanyi's face will not look good. As for what to do, I have a sense of responsibility. I will have to do this tomorrow, and I will take a leave of absence from you today."

Yuqing knew that he was going to do a serious business, so he just bit his shoulder with his teeth, "If you dare to bring a Japanese woman back, I will live in my parents' home and will not leave."

The next day, Zhao Guanhou did not follow King Qing to handle the work. Because Zhang Tong was infected with illness, diplomatic negotiations were temporarily stopped. Moreover, it was not very meaningful to visit anyone he had to straighten out the personnel relationship first to do things. He asked for a carriage from the royal palace and went straight to the Shanxi Guild Hall in the city.

This guild hall was not occupied by foreigners, but not far away, there were foreign soldiers patrolling, and Zhao Guanhou had a special pass, which was unobstructed. Dong Jun of Siheng and dozens of shopkeepers were now living in the guild hall.

When we met twice, it seemed like a different life. The four great Hengs who were once famous in the capital now only have these dozens of people left. Everyone has filial piety on their heads, obviously mourning for the old boss. The ashes and the gods of the old boss could not enter the guild hall and were stored in the temple, so they had no way to burn incense, so they had to comfort them a few words. Dong Jun did not know that Zhao Guanhou had already stole his concubine's mother, and was very moved by his visit.

After the foreign soldiers entered the city, they plundered all the bills, money shops and other businesses in the city. The deposits in Siheng's warehouse were robbed and the general account of the furnace room was burned. Looking back, Dong Jun only felt a chill behind his back. If Zhao Guanhou had not taken away all the important bills and some of the cash silvers of Siheng, Siheng would probably be in a slump after this attack. Not to mention that the foreign soldiers arrested women everywhere as military discipline. If his family's female relatives were not protected by Zhao Guanhou's army, they would probably have suffered, and they would even regard him as a benefactor in their hearts.

After the two seats, Zhao Guanhou took out the letter from Aunt Jin and handed it to Dong Jun, and asked about the situation again. Dong Jun shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. The Beijing official came back from outside and held Siheng's tickets in his hand. If he couldn't pay the money, he might cause trouble. Thanks to his cooperation with Huabi Bank, he explained to them that Tianjin could repay. These talents did not make a fuss, and Siheng's reputation was also maintained. This time, we must all thank you for your kindness."

"Brother Dong, everyone is your own people, don't say such things. Do you have any difficulties here? If so, just say it. With Qingdi and Zhang Juexiang, you can always do it. Siheng worked well in Shandong's semicolon, and the family is also very good. If you have the opportunity, please go to Shandong to see it. When your family meets each other, you will feel at ease. What's the situation in Beijing? Please tell me, this time I come back to negotiate. Things have changed, and I need to understand it to do things."

Although such a big businessman like Dong Jun was inconvenient for a moment, he still had a very strong position in the guild hall and would not be in a difficult situation in life. However, this sentence made people feel really comfortable. Dong Jun was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly, so he asked the manager to invite two Shanxi-born Beijing officials to introduce the situation in Beijing.

These two Beijing officials are naturally concerned about their hometown. After meeting, they first asked Shanxi. After hearing Zhao Guanhou's introduction, they finally exclaimed. They knew that foreigners wanted to fight Shanxi. What they feared most at that time was that foreign soldiers really entered Shanxi and harmed their hometown. They were also afraid that they would be located in Shanxi and that their hometown would be affected by the disaster.

When they learned that Yuxian committed suicide, Zhao Guanhou defeated the foreign soldiers in Xuanhua, which made Tielle people feel fearful. The Empress Dowager toured Shandong and everyone felt relieved. These officials had a good opinion of Zhao Guanhou, so they knew everything about the situation in Beijing.

After the chaotic period of the coalition forces entering the city, the public security situation in the capital has improved slightly. Sai Jinhua exerted influence in front of Wadesi, causing Prussia to send military police. Before this, Fusang's military police also began to operate. Although their main target of attack was the Tiel people, no matter what, when the military police appeared, the order always improved compared to the beginning.

On the other hand, the coalition forces also entered a period of exhaustion after the crazy robbery. The things that can be robbed were almost the same, and even the looting of Beizhili had entered the cessation stage.

Originally, the coalition forces had plans to attack Baoding, but firstly, Baoding itself wiped out the Flying Tiger Regiment, and secondly, the news that the Wuwei Right Army entered Baoding also made the coalition forces consider the gains and losses. No country was willing to follow the footsteps of the Cossack Iron Cavalry and ruin their troops and reputation under Baoding.

The essence of Northern China was preserved. From a long-term perspective, the economy of the Jin Dynasty was naturally of great benefit. Judging from the current situation, the gradual convergence of foreigners also allowed the people in the capital to breathe a little. The new order built by the coalition forces was gradually implemented with iron-blooded means. For example, the common large and small solutions in the past are now rare, because the Prussians may shoot at people because of this.

As Zhao Guanhou heard it one by one, he sent two more copies of Shandong native silver to thank the two Beijing officials. After the answer was correct, Dong Jun said, "Mr. Zhao, I, a businessman, should not ask about the negotiations. I will only say one thing, if the conditions for foreigners are not too excessive, it is better to sign as soon as possible. The elders of the capital are very bitter. They will cease the war one day earlier and everyone will get out of the sea of ​​suffering one day soon."

"I understand, I will find a way to do this. Brother Dong, I am here today to discuss a business with you. I can get you a special pass. You go to Tianjin to ask Mrs. Jiansen to pay a sum of money and do this business together. Buy property and groceries in Beijing."

"I heard that someone is doing this business in Beijing. It seems that Mr. Zhen is just an expert."

"Those foreigners robbed our Jin Kingdom, and gold and silver were brought back with them. However, some calligraphy and paintings and other things are not necessarily worthy, let alone small people. A group of big-headed soldiers, bringing calligraphy and paintings home is useless, and most of them will be sold in Beijing. These things are not sold by outsiders. This is an opportunity to buy at the bottom. It is useless to buy them. Although Mr. Zhen is buying, we should not be behind. He cannot eat anything from the capital alone. Also, it is the property. Many houses in Beijing have now become ownerless houses. If you take some money, I will ask the yamen to help you get the land deed. Even if the master comes back in the future, there will be lawsuits to fight. Siheng suffered losses this time, so you have to make up for it."

Dong Jun knew that this was to take care of his business and that Zhao Guanhou would release his goodwill. In the final analysis, both businesses require a way, otherwise they would not be able to do it. Although Siheng was robbed, with the relationship Siheng had established in the mall over the years, some money could still be raised. He went to Tianjin to invite Jane Sen. I thought he was using this to send a message to him so that Jane Sen could come to Beijing and coordinate the mediation.

As soon as he bowed, "Mr. Zhao, I will never thank you for your kindness. I have seen the matter in the letter. After two days, I will write a letter to my family. The newly established Siheng will be located in Shandong. As for the capital, it will be changed to a branch. In the future, Lord Zhao will be more responsible."

"A family, don't speak two people." When Zhao Guanhou said this, he couldn't help but think of Aunt Jin's white body, and his smile became even more intense. "Young master, Dongyang Luozi Pavilion in Dongdan, have you heard anyone mention it?"

Dong Jun smiled awkwardly, "Sir, are you joking. How can Dong go to that kind of place during the mourning period?"

"No, don't get me wrong. I'm asking if you know that. Because I'm going to meet a friend there today and want to know one or two first."

Dong Jun then said seriously: "That place is very popular. After foreigners came, they were opened in Beijing. It is very different from our Qingyin class. Unfortunately, they do not give a note and do not stay in the country. Those who go there are embassy staff from various countries, either expatriates, occasionally Chinese people, and people in the officialdom. We businessmen are not welcome. I heard that Fusang Langren is very vicious as bodyguards, and few Jin people dare to go there."

"Will the Tielites go too?"

"I heard that I went there. People from all over the country have it, but the Tielites have never been incompatible with the Eastern people. I heard that they had fought several times there. Now that Tielite's soldiers have withdrawn from Tianjin, there are many more fights. It's a pity that we, the women of the Jin Kingdom, were captured by foreigners in the military camp as military discipline, and many of them are the daughters of good families. From morning to night, they are polluted by foreigners and are extremely miserable. If they can do it, can you think of a way for them? I heard that the top scholar's wife has a friendship with you, and she can speak in front of Wadesi. If she is willing to speak, maybe these women will be saved."

Zhao Guanhou thought for a moment, "I do my best, and I am not sure about this kind of thing. I can only do my best to do it. I will discuss it with my second sister. As for whether I can see it, I can't say. If I can save it, I will naturally have no choice."

After leaving the Shanxi Guild Hall, Zhao Guanhou led his horse and saw few pedestrians passing by on the street. As the end of the year approached, it was the most lively time, but the streets were deserted and there were not many shops open. When I saw pedestrians, I would wrap myself tightly with a torn cotton jacket, cover my face with a felt hat, and bow my head and go quickly. The rules of ceremonies to greet the Sijiucheng were gone, and the opposite side was afraid to talk, let alone say a word. Only those foreign soldiers carrying rifles walked around, arrogantly.

He came to Dongjiaomin Lane, and there were still roadblocks at several entrances, and foreign soldiers were guarding with guns nearby. In the past, they were free to enter and exit, but now the Chinese were expelled immediately once they approached, and they could negotiate unless you could speak a fusang dialect. More of the Thais were coming and going, wearing leather jackets, holding Sdenk's men, and carrying a noble lady in fur, walking in and out, looking at herself and showing the arrogance of a victorious person. Some foreign women were still wearing flag clothes, not knowing why.
