"Brother Boda, this man is the key figure who helped the camp win the battle at Zhujiawan. He also has three true and six false heads, totaling nine Japanese pirate heads. Winning him over will be of great benefit to us!" They all said in unison. After Weng and Hu, who were quarreling and bickering, heard the inquiry from their leader, they stood up and gave him an affirmative answer.
"Then let's win over you! Although this guy has helped the camp soldiers to achieve some trivial achievements, in the final analysis he is just an unknown lowly businessman. If we grant him some benefits, we can't bring him under our command. Why are you quarreling over this? Is it really weird?" After hearing that his two subordinates, Zuoerguan, suggested that he take the cheap merchant surnamed Kang into his army, the commander of the East China Sea Guard, General Zhaoyong Gu Wentong, was more or less interested. He didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, Kang Lin was an insignificant person. He was useless except that he had a lot of money and was stupid. Maybe he spent a lot of money to buy the gains in the bloody battle of Zhujiawan from the soldiers. He didn't even think about it. There is no need to spend too much energy and resources on it.
"What Brother Boda said is true. Originally, I could have captured this guy with an actual official banner and a staff of dozens of people, but some people insisted on making extra trouble. Now, fortunately, their asking price has been successfully raised. It’s as high as 100 working households, tsk tsk, I really can’t believe that there are hundreds of free households in Donghaiwei to accommodate others?” Before the call to Guwen ended, commanding officer Weng Yuli rushed to answer the question in advance. In front of his immediate boss, this guy Once again, he did not hesitate to use the most vicious words to belittle his mortal opponent, the lucky villain Hu Lian and Hu Jingting who was still his nephew in terms of seniority.
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense in front of your Majesty Commander. That guy was clearly contacted and recruited by a certain person in advance. It was you, the old guy, who stepped in and interfered with it, so that the price of that guy's recruitment was lowered. The little flag has been raised to Zhengyin Baihu, and you still dare to spit in front of the commander. You are simply, you are simply shameless!" In a tit-for-tat confrontation, faced with the accusations made by his archenemy and fellow commander Weng Yuli, Hu Lian couldn't help but change his color. He Originally, I had given him three points because he was a senior, but I didn't expect that this guy was so shameless and dared to confuse right and wrong in front of his benefactor, talk nonsense, and in a hurry, he didn't care about his superiority and inferiority. He opened his mouth and spoke back unceremoniously.
"Bold, you actually dare to say disrespectful words in front of the commander, but you still have the commander in your eyes, and with a certain officer, I ask you, who gave you the courage to call someone directly in the capital festival hall? For an old man?" Faced with the rude words of his subordinates, Weng Yuli's expression changed drastically, and he started to ask a series of questions, leaving Hu Lian, the commander, speechless, and their immediate boss Gu Wentong also seemed to be the number one As if meeting the former for the first time, I cast my extremely surprised eyes on this guy! Hu Lian had never been arrogant and domineering in public before, and he had even said uglier words more than once, but Weng Yuli, an old man with a lot of knowledge, took the insulting words as compliments and not only did he not get angry, Instead, he listened with a smile every time. But what happened today? Hu Lian just casually said "old man". Before he could say anything else, he made this guy furious. Could it be that he was the wife and concubine of the master's family? If the servants do not serve well, is there an imbalance of yin and yang?
"Jingting, please forgive me for being rude. This is an important place. How could you be so disrespectful and not hurry up and give me a gift to Lord Tongzhi!" Seeing that his close men were overwhelmed by Tongzhi Weng Yuli, the old fox Gu Wentong could only say something. Come to his rescue! Even though Hu Lian has a lot of flaws, in the final analysis, he is still his most useful subordinate. When it is time to help him, he still has to help him. Otherwise, if Weng Yuli, an old man, really tramples him down, it will be better for him. Profits and face are damaged!
That's right, Hu Lian, who is the third in command of the capital, was promoted by the commander Gu Wentong to suppress his deputy Weng Yuli. Otherwise, at his early forties, what qualifications and achievements would he be able to overpower the senior officials? The official was successfully appointed! You know, although there are not many officials in charge of the health center, there are a lot of various salary officers. If there is no one to support and support, it will be difficult for a person to survive for decades. Kung Fu is simply impossible. Therefore, knowing who promoted him from a civil servant to one or two people below and above tens of millions of people, Hu Lian was extremely respectful to the commander Gu Wentong. It can even be said that he was obedient. To the extent that the latter is also very caring about the former, except for scolding him if he messes up his errands, he will always support him at other times, although sometimes Gu Wentong also feels that this I can't hold the wall up, but I don't have any other more useful talents, so I can only continue to win over this guy to suppress the commanding officer Weng Yuli and his team. Don't ask why I don't win over those subordinates who are responsible for the salary. Officer, he also wanted to win over him, but unfortunately they didn't care about him at all. These guys who were not in charge of the guards now followed Weng Yuli, the commander-in-chief, and if they didn't give enough benefits, they couldn't even think about swaying them to abandon the original owner and seek refuge with him!
"Weng Tongzhi, I offended you because of my incomprehensible words before. I hope you can be more considerate and forgive me..." Seeing that his boss seemed to be scolding him on the surface, but in fact he was trying to save himself. , Hu Lian heard the elegant meaning of Xiange, stood up and saluted Weng Yuli, and at the same time said a few polite words in the scene, even if he lightly uncovered this section, it was just the look and expression on his face. , but he is indescribably playful and arrogant. After all, he doesn't think he has done anything wrong. He is now apologizing to this old man for the sake of his boss. Otherwise, with this guy's fiery temper, He had to start a fight with Weng Yuli on the spot.
"Well, this is like a human saying! Brother Hu, don't blame me for being a big brother who relies on his elders and says some kind words from the bottom of his heart that you don't like to hear. You have to change your hot temper, otherwise you will collide with big shots you can't afford to offend in the future. , you will suffer a big loss! You know, people are not as easy to talk to as the old brother. If one person does not get it right, not to mention the official position, not to mention the loss of his life..." Taking advantage of the victory, Weng Yuli caught This rare opportunity was to rub salt into Hu Lian's wounds. He wanted to make the latter completely lose his position, and then lose face and lose points in front of Gu Wentong. Then he would join forces with many idle salary officers to work together. Firmly press him where he should be, and even completely knock him off the throne of commanding others!
"You, you, you..." Seeing that the old hater he hated was pushing his nose and face, Hu Lian couldn't hold back the unknown fire in his heart, but he looked up and saw the commander sitting behind the public case. , and had to forcibly control his emotions. As the saying goes, "A little impatience can ruin a big plan." He didn't want to ruin his benefactor's overall plan because of himself! Since people can promote themselves to the top, they can easily step down. Hu Lian is currently doing well as the third-in-command in the capital, but he doesn't want to offend his superior and lose the lucrative official position of Qianshi, so , he chose to compromise wisely!
"Weng Tongzhi, okay, okay, I have a lot of time to educate the younger generation. Now let's get back to business and talk about how to arrange our Kangda shopkeeper..." Gu Wentong seemed to be aware of what Weng Yuli was thinking, and Gu Wentong made a decisive move. This brought an end to this meaningless quarrel and refocused everyone's attention on the culprit Kang Lin Kangda. In his view, the reason why Weng and Hu were so quarrelsome and quarrelsome was He was blushing all because he wanted to win over this cheap businessman. As long as he solved the source, he could completely calm down the fight between the two parties!
"Master Commander, this person has a low status and is so wealthy. Wouldn't it be better to just find some excuse, throw him into the prison, and then seize his family assets?" As the saying goes, press the gourd and let the ladle rise. , Gu Wentong had just temporarily suppressed the conflict between Weng and Hu, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin came out next to him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he actually wanted to swallow the Chiyang Fleet together with the skin and bones!
"Confused!"
"It's naive, not to mention that people come to vote with nine Japanese slave heads sincerely, even if they are empty-handed, we can't push people out! If you really do this, how will the world view our Donghai capital? Colleagues, are you so narrow-minded that you can't tolerate others? What's more, this guy has forty or fifty elite old thieves, as well as hundreds of thieves, all of whom are the kind of masters who can risk their lives with Japanese slaves. Are you sure we have it? Are you going to swallow people with such good teeth? Don't catch the tiger but fail and be injured by the tiger, causing them to tear up their skins, rush into the city in a rage, and fight with us to the death, and we will die together!"
It is rare that Weng Yuli and Hu Lian raised objections in unison to the stupid suggestion of this 250-year-old salary official! The only difference is that Hu Qianshi, who has a high self-esteem, just squeezed out a few words through his teeth, while Master Tongzhi analyzed it from all aspects, trying to dispel those idiots who only have money in their eyes and no other concepts. The ridiculous idea of killing people and taking wealth, just kidding. If Kang Lin was so easy to be hacked, he wouldn't be able to easily capture so many Japanese slave heads. You know, those are real Japanese heads. Guochao Yu Japanese Over the years, except for a few marshals and generals, who can kill more than twenty Shinwa at one time? Even if you can't run away immediately when encountering a brave man, you still want to kill them. First level, this is such a waste of dreams!
And the ordinary flag troops under everyone's command are rubbish existences that can't even defeat the fake Japanese. To use such a weak army to attack the Chiyang fleet with overwhelming combat power, who gave them the courage? Could it be the father-in-law of the land? ? After thinking about this, Weng Yuli continued to persuade,
"Therefore, we can only adopt a gentle approach to this businessman surnamed Kang. We use a mere official position of a hundred households and some trivial benefits in exchange for his loyalty and a brave and capable army to help us resist the increasing trend. Arrogant Japanese pirates, bandits and traitors, I think we can do this deal!"
