Officials in the late Qing Dynasty were often more like businessmen, seeking only profit and spending every penny. What they hated most was sanctimonious gentlemen. If you were honest and honest, you would become their public enemy.
The plan made by Sister Wu and Hunchun is very practical. Hunchun is stubborn but not stupid. He actually understands the current way of survival in the officialdom, but he didn't bother to do it before.
Today Hunchun put on the face of a greedy profiteer, fighting with Tepu Xin for a small profit, but the result was very surprising. Te Pushin and his loyal subordinates actually did the same with him. Bargaining started.
On the surface, it seems that you are quarreling with each other over a business line with an annual profit of more than 100,000 taels, and you are even slamming the table, but the look in everyone's eyes reveals a trace of relaxation.
Tepuxin and these generals knew very well that since you Hunchun asked for money, it means that you are essentially the same person as us, but you used to pretend to be more ruthless.
Now that you have decided to board the ship, it will be easy to handle. But it is just a question of more money and less money. As General Hunchun Ning Guta, you are actually qualified to negotiate these big deals.
Since I have drawn Hunchun into the same category of people from the bottom of my heart, there is no need to keep trying to catch him, and the swordsman who ambushed him early will naturally be of no use.
Even in Tepu Xin's heart, he still had some small thoughts. He knew that he was likely to become a scapegoat. At the very least, he would have to be dismissed from office and seize the title. At any rate, the court would have to make a show of explaining to the officials and the people.
During the years when he was resting at home and waiting for his recovery, he could not lose his power in Heilongjiang, and many secret money-making transactions had to be protected.
How much of a bargain is it to give up profits in exchange for Hunchun's protection? Even if Hunchun doesn't help, it's still good as long as he doesn't add insult to injury!
The generals under Tepuxin were also careful. On the surface, they had to help Tepuxin negotiate with Hunchun. After all, Tepuxin was still his immediate boss, but they also had plans to fight for Hunchun's interests.
All of these people have dog noses and extremely sensitive political senses! They also want to find a new master for themselves after Tepuxin steps down, so that they can't lose their jobs.
A group of monsters and demons, each with their own agenda, turned this banquet into a business of splitting one's fortune.
Kirigakure Imp is in the side room of the main hall, which is actually a single room separated from the hall by a mahogany-carved screen wall. Here, Inoyama Chou and other Fuso warriors and Kirigakure are having a banquet while listening to the quarrel next door.
Since Sister Wu entered the garrison mansion under the banner of a Hunchun woman, and there were no female relatives in the garrison mansion to accompany them, a few generals wanted to come over to accompany them. To put it bluntly, it was just for surveillance. As a result, the unreasonable Zhu Shanchou and other Fuso warriors resolutely Not allowed.
"Outsiders must not approach the general's wife! Go away, go away! Men and women must be on guard! Go, go, go."
A group of unscrupulous Japanese barbarians are unreasonable at all and have made all of Tepuxin's men blush. You can't control your temper. After all, they are foreigners and they don't follow the rules of your sake table. You can't No idea.
In addition, after all, there were female relatives at the banquet, so they couldn't use force. In the end, they could only withdraw with sullen eyebrows. Tepuxin, who had always wanted to please this alien beauty, would certainly not look for her at this moment. Sister Wu’s trouble.
The whole table was filled with Sister Wu's direct descendants. Everyone listened more and talked less, and they carefully counted the time. Inoyama Chio also looked out the window from time to time to check the consumption of drinks on the Gogo wine table.
Listening to these dirty officials bargaining, Inoyama Achio whispered with a strange expression, "Why are Kirigakure-sama and Qing people so shameless! They are already first- and second-rank officials, how can they be like businessmen!"
The Kirigakure kid took a sip of strong wine, "Slowly you will understand that they are just a group of slaves from the Qing Dynasty. They do not have the glory of warriors, nor the dignity of Confucian scholars. They are just slaves kneeling in front of the emperor!"
"It's a pity that this rich land of East Asia has been handed over to them. What a waste! If it weren't for the Prime Minister, we in Japan would definitely be able to take its place!"
Zhu Shanchou's eyes lit up, "Nani? Master, do you think we can also conquer the Central Plains? Is it really possible for Master Guan Bai to realize his dream hundreds of years ago?"
Sister Wu shook her head and said regretfully, "There was really a chance before! But now there is no chance! The Dragon of the East China Sea has taken away the luck of my Fuso Kingdom. From now on, we can only rely on it."
"Okay, don't talk about these unnecessary things. How is the drinking going on outside?"
A samurai glanced over and said, "Well! These Qing slaves can really drink. Basically, each table consumed three jars of wine, and some tables even drank four jars!"
"Baga, isn't Aihui City an important border defense town? Isn't there an enemy country on the opposite side? How can they be so drunk that they are not afraid of enemy sneak attacks?"
"That's almost it!" Sister Wu made a sound, and a hangover pill under her tongue was spat into the spittoon in the corner. She stood up and said with a smile, "I want to go out, you guys protect me."
The group of people walked around the screen. At this time, Tepuxin was asking Hunchun how many Mauser supplies he had and how much he was prepared to eat. The two of them stared at each other like cockfighting cocks.
As soon as Sister Wu came out, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. Tepuxin's eyes widened. He stood up and said with a smile, "Oh, where is Mrs. Ru? We are so busy talking about business here that we forget about Mrs. It's really a sin. Come on." Come, let me give you a drink, Madam.”
Sister Wu looked at the hungry wolf opposite, smiled faintly, and flew over to Tepuxin with a wink. "The general has important things to talk about, so don't worry about me yet! I'll go to the back to pay my respects, and wait for the adults to finish talking about the business." Of course I will come and toast you!" After saying that, he turned and left.
"Hey, it's easy to talk." He swallowed with a gulp of saliva. Looking at Sister Wu's swaying butt, Tepuxin felt an evil fire burning up in his chest.
Beautiful! Charming! So damn charming! If I could sleep with her for one night, I would agree that my life would be shortened by one year!
Hunchun squinted at the lustful Tepuxin and said to herself, "You're dead! You're absolutely dead! Originally, I wanted to keep you alive because of our friendship, but I didn't expect that you were not only secretly He has collected the gold from the Rakshasa ghost, and he has hidden swordsmen and axemen ready to kill us, and now he wants to get his hands on Kirigakure-sama? Whichever of these three things you touch will mean death!"
Hunchun hasn't seen the secret report from Lao Lin yet. If he knew that Tepuxin and Yishan had exchanged millions of square kilometers of land in the Qing Dynasty for millions of gold rubles, Ning Guta's stubborn donkey would have killed him alive. !
