Chapter 325 Passionate
"The reserves of strategic materials in Fusang are more than those of the Tiel Army, but Guanhou's troops will be more sufficient in reserves than these two armies combined." Jason smiled proudly. During this period, she has prepared a large amount of materials for the Wuwei Front Army to ensure that the love man's troops will not fall into a desperate situation outside the pass. Of course, the next step is to solve the transportation capacity.
Jason proudly raised his chest, "I have contacted five hundred large trucks to transport military food for the troops. I have prepared a special train to see off your Lord Xu. Outside the pass, I also have information on the warehouse situation of the Tiel Army. After you arrive outside the pass, these warehouses will be your best military stations."
"Can this kind of information be there? This... isn't this the secret?" Jiang Fengzhi felt a little incredible, and Jason smiled contemptuously. "The one who betrayed this secret is the military officers outside the Tiel Pass. They lost too much in the warehouse. If the warehouse is not attacked, they have to go to the military court. What is waiting for them is shot. So they sell this information on the black market, hoping that the Fusang army will attack these warehouses and smooth out their accounts. As for the Tiel soldiers on the front line, they don't know what they are fighting for. Some of the devout soldiers will kiss their emperor's statues before the war, and most soldiers will greet the ancestors of the statues in their hearts. For them, the most reliable friends are the only ones, gold coins. Whoever can give them gold coins is the friend, and I happen to be the best friend."
Zhao Guanhou said: "Just relying on Tiele's warehouse is not very good. The most important thing is to have cars. Having these 500 large cars solves a big problem. Also, weapons and ammunition should be prepared as much as possible. Fortunately, during this period, the Shandong Machinery Repair Center was operating normally, and a batch of guns and bullets were built. Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau also produced them. Together, it can be used for a while."
The batch of equipment he buried in Tianjin has now been dug out and used by Yuan Weiting. These equipment were first top-notch products purchased by Zhang Tong, but are still not behind now. Although the raw materials are not sufficient, they can barely be opened to 70% of the work, and the weapons and ammunition produced are also a considerable number. In addition, the wealth in Xigu Armament can handle it for a while.
Jason shook his head, "Your homemade weapons and ammunition should be left to Yuan Weiting and his Right Army. My Guanhou must be equipped with the most advanced Thais. I have already signed a contract with Li and Foreign Company, and you will get their ammunition, guns, and a batch of new guns. As for the payment method, there is money outside the pass, and I believe that you will not make me lose money in this business."
After a while, Han Rong did not listen to the opera. He asked Fuzi about it and heard that his condition had worsened and he seemed not optimistic. However, the stage still had to perform as usual, and the atmosphere among the crowd remained unabated. Wei Guangshou brought a few Sichuan Tuyi to give gifts today, and said, "Brother, this face must be given to me tonight. Let's go to the Bada Hutong to sit down."
"Brother, I'm afraid it won't work. I'm going to go to Shandong tonight."
"So urgent? Isn't it necessary to do something about the police investigation in Beijing? I would like to ask you how to do this? I returned to Sichuan and did it like this."
"We are going to send troops. I have to go around outside the pass, and I will get a few ginseng trees to give it to you."
Wei Guangshou also heard that the matter of having a governor outside the pass was of great importance and he was not easy to participate, so he kept silent. Jiang Gui's heart was secretly angry. In terms of seniority, he was much better than Zhao Guanhou, but in the end, these Huai Army children actually fell into his hands and controlled an army.
This tone made him feel a little embarrassed. "This time Lord Zhao will definitely win the battle and succeed. At that time, the entire Wuwei Army may be the head of Lord Zhao. Everyone is the children of the Huai Army, but remember to leave me a meal."
"Senior, what are you saying? How can I compare with my skills? It's just that everyone supports me and let me win a few battles. I dare not boast. This time I went outside the pass, I was not going to fight, I just went to help Haiweng. After all, it was not all for the help of people from our small station."
He brought out the Beiyang righteousness and Jiang Gui's title, which was suspected of being self-severing from Beiyang. He had to rationally choose to keep his mouth shut, but said in his heart: You wait. When you get outside the barrier, you will definitely suffer a big loss, and then you will know it will be awesome.
In the Zhili Governor's yamen, Xu Juren's face was a little excited, but also worried. He and Yuan Weiting and Jinlan talked about everything and did not hide it.
"Rong'an, this time you recommend me, it is indeed to prevent me from being angry with Zhai Zijiu. But the Tieler people's aura is not necessarily better. Those people are arrogant and unreasonable, and are always famous. Now in wartime, let alone, they must be arrogant and make all kinds of unreasonable demands. As the governor, I am going to pick up the seal of General Shengjing. If those generals are connected with Tieler people, I am afraid that I will suffer a loss if I go there."
"Brother Bu Wu, just don't worry about this. We have been brothers for many years. Will I still point you a dead end? If you take office alone, be careful that those generals are in a difficult situation with you. But this time, you have brought the soldiers there, and only those generals have been removed. Who dares to do what you do to you? I ordered Cao Zhongkun and Li Xiushan, each with one battalion, and you will be out of the pass. Guanhou's Wuwei Front Army dispatched eight battalions. You two have a total of 5,000 troops, and you don't say too much, and you don't say too little. Then you will collect the troops outside the pass, even if you are foreigners, I don't think you will be embarrassed."
Cao Zhongkun and Li Xiushan, because of their contributions to protecting the emperor, have been promoted to third-rank military officers and are actually appointed as gang commanders. They can be replaced by real soldiers just when the bidder is missing. The two battalions of troops have seen blood, fought hard battles, and are relatively well equipped, and are considered elite. Zhao Guanhou's front army is in full swing and can be used. Sending this lineup is also considered to be the court that does not want to sit and watch the loss outside the pass, and takes it seriously.
Xu Juren calmed down and asked, "Where is Rong'an teaching me if he goes outside the pass?"
"Brother Bu Wu, your talent is ten times higher than me, and I can still teach you? I can't teach you anything even if I learn this. Just say, if you want to negotiate with the Fusang people, you must first show some strength and let the Fusang people know that our big gold is not a soft persimmon, so that they can talk to them about territory and conditions in the future. If you blindly seek completeness, everything will be difficult to be harmonious. I sent some battalions to contribute to the Fusang people before, so in the name of direct supervision, if you do too much, you will exceed your duty. This time you go to Beijing, and your position is the same as the imperial envoy. What should you do? I believe you have your own rules."
Xu Juren nodded, "I have some ideas, but I am afraid that things will make a big difference and the court will not tolerate them. I can only go there, act according to the opportunity, and adapt to the situation. In short, I cannot let the great country fall into the hands of foreigners."
"Okay! Brother Bu Wu has this knowledge, which is enough to prove that I did not recommend the wrong person. I will set up a banquet in Tianjin to wait for Brother Bu Wu's happy news. Then I will hold a seat for you to celebrate the merits."
The two laughed loudly, and they both felt very proud, especially Xu Juren, who has always been half black and not red. This time, when he was alone outside the pass, he could finally show his strength and have some ambitions in his heart. Shen Jinying listened to the maid's return in the inner house but snorted.
"The person I recommend is not good. I have a bad temper. I only recognize Hanlin Qinggui and look down on the general. I am a gangster. I will definitely be looked down on by him. When I get outside the pass, I have to be angry with him. I don't care. I will talk to Rong'an tonight and not let my brother get angry."
Shandong, Jinan Prefecture.
As soon as Zhao Guanhou returned home, he rushed to Hanzhi's yard first and saw her standing in front of a car. Inside the car, a little Naiwa was sleeping very peacefully. Hearing the footsteps, Su Hanzhi stood up at him and made a quiet position. Then the two of them came to the outside room and whispered: "The girl just fell asleep, don't wake her up."
"I just want to wake her up. I haven't seen her before. I want her to get to know her. This is my dad. It's better to call me a few times."
"How old is you? How can you call someone? The girl is very cute. I feel happy when I look at her." Su Hanzhi secretly glanced at Zhao Guanhou. He was the single pass of the Zhao family, afraid that he would not like his daughter, which made the Ten Princess' heart cold. However, he saw Zhao Guanhou looking inside like a thief, looking inside through the curtain. He obviously loved this child very much, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
"The Tenth Prince told me, this child is mine, how can this be done? That is the flesh that fell from her body. You have to tell her that the child's mother is still her, and I can only count her as a second mother..."
"No, what Yuqing said makes sense. This child should call you a mother. Look at you, how much love you? In the future, if others have children, they will also ask you to be a mother."
Su Hanzhi shook her head repeatedly, "That's not OK, it's unfair to everyone. At most, I want a girl, which is enough. No matter how many children there are, I can't take care of you. You go to Miss Cheng's room first, she is pregnant with your flesh and blood. You must not be favored by one or the other, otherwise the inner house will be unstable. I will go to deliver letters to others, and Sister Sun is still in the barracks, so I will ask her to come back."
Cheng Yue's room was relatively deserted. She was a good-natured person and was born as a maid. She was very good at getting along with servants. However, she was considering her duty, for fear that she would do too well and the eldest wife would be unhappy. Therefore, she always locked herself in the house to embroider the girl and had little contact with the outside world. Even if she knew that her husband was back, she would not dare to go out to greet her, for fear of making a taboo.
Zhao Guanhou pushed open the door and saw her sitting by the bed, carefully sewing the tiger-head hat worn by the child. Seeing him coming back, Cheng Yue was startled and pricked her hand, and blood beads flowed down. Zhao Guanhou shook his head and put her fingers in his mouth, sucking blood for her, but he saw that Cheng Yue's face turned red first.
"Master...my...my body can't serve you...it's really not possible."
Zhao Guanhou shook his head and said, "I am here to see you and the children. Where have you thought about it? Is it the only thing we have to say when we meet, and we can't say anything else?"
Cheng Yue was a little afraid of him and lowered her head and said, "I am stupid and have little knowledge. I can't compare myself with my wife and several wives. I just make jokes when I talk to the master, or I just argue. I... I really have a hard time studying, but it's still far from it. I hope the master will forgive me."
"Okay, look at you, you are stuck in your room all day long, not far from mold. If you have time to go out for a walk, don't you know how to fight? Why don't you practice it? Always staying like this, won't you be useless in your kung fu?"
Cheng Yue shook her head and said, "I... I'm afraid that my master will not like me even more if I practice martial arts. I'm not pretty and can't compare to the wives. If I don't talk about individuality, even the old man's face will be lost. What the master scolded is that I will do as the master told me from tomorrow."
She was a maid first, but later she became a lady, but she was actually a maid serving the old lady's wife. Later, she became a concubine. She had already recognized her husband as a wife in her heart. No matter what Zhao Guanhou said, she would nod and dare not refute it. When she heard that Zhao Guanhou was going outside the pass, she might have to go to the iron to slap people, her face was so scared that she was pale and she clutched Zhao Guanhou's arm with both hands tightly.
"Master...hasn't you negotiated peace with foreigners? Why do you... want to go to war?"
"I can't tell you the national affairs clearly. In short, it's just this thing, just you know. If you have any problems at home, ask Sister Han Zhi more. Whoever bullies you, let Sister Han Zhi help you stand up." Marrying a wife is good and taking a concubine is beautiful. Zhao Guanhou has no feelings for this concubine who is of a person of a person. He is able to talk to her because of more than 10,000 dowry soldiers.
But Cheng Yue was not angry after taking a nail. Instead, she felt that she was not. She stretched her stomach and searched through the dowry box with her stomach. Just when Zhao Guanhou was already very impatient and was about to leave, she finally found what she was looking for: a copper heart protection mirror.
"This heart-protecting treasure mirror is a treasure given to me by the old lady when I was on a sedan chair. If the general wears it, you can save your life. Master, you should tie it to your body, just like I am by your side. I am useless and cannot serve in front of the army. Let this treasure mirror accompany me to fight on the battlefield and make achievements. If there are guns and bullets, let this treasure mirror replace me and block it for me."
Zhao Guanhou held the treasure mirror, but felt that this thing weighing a few pounds was more than a thousand pounds at this time. He looked at Cheng Yue's face that was trying hard to suppress tears. Perhaps, he had inadvertently ruined a woman's life.
He shook his head and kissed her on the forehead, "Okay, let's go out for dinner together tonight. I'll tell the kitchen to make a vegetarian meal today."
"No... As the master, I am willing to break the quit eating meat." Cheng Yue's face turned red with shame. Although she lowered her head, the meaning of happiness could not be hidden between her eyebrows and eyes. Although she felt that her husband was just lying to be happy, as long as she could continue to deceive, she was willing to do so.
At night, after Zhao Guanhou put all his energy into Sun Meiyao, he suddenly asked: "You said, am I very sorry to Cheng Yue? I obviously don't like her, but I still let her be pregnant with my child. But she doesn't like me, but she still wants to live with me. This is very unfair."
"There is no such nonsense? Isn't that the case for men and women? Children are going to give birth to you, and there are still things you like or dislike. There are so many couples in this world, and there are a few who get married because they are really in love. They are not going to live a lifetime and get along slowly. Some people in the village have lived their whole lives, but they still can't tell how much they know about each other, and some have spent half their lives beating their wives every day, which is fate."
