This Qing is wrong

Chapter 119 Qiu Hui's Small Abacus
"You said that the Chaozhou clan recommended Qiu Hui to negotiate with us. How can this Qiu Hui be so respected by the Chaozhou gentry?"

After listening to Yan Dingjun's report, Li Changqing asked aloud.

Li Changqing has always regarded the Qing court as his enemy, and has never really cared about other forces in Chaozhou.

After all, the Qing army was beaten away by him, and other forces really couldn't make Li Changqing take it seriously.

However, the Chaozhou clan sent people to find the "olive branch" handed over by Yan Dingjun, which still gave Li Changqing some new ideas.

He is unable to occupy and rule the entire Chaozhou now, let alone Guangdong Province, but if he can take advantage of the power of local snakes and establish his own ruling foundation, it seems to be a good choice.

But before Li Changqing did this, he had to make sure that these local snakes had the ability to withstand the Qing army's attack for a period of time.

At least, they must wait for Li Changqing's support.

Otherwise, it doesn't even have the value of using it.

In Li Changqing's eyes, instead of handing over the cities and territories beyond his control to the Qing army for recovery, it is better to support local snake forces with armed forces to help him manage the territory.

Li Changqing, who has a system at his side, does not need to worry about the future hidden dangers of these local snake forces becoming bigger and stronger, and even evolving into 'warlords'.

If those local snake forces really can't think about rebelling against Li Changqing, Li Changqing doesn't mind using them to wipe out a few waves of system enemy forces.

Without such worries, Li Changqing can completely entrust the land to the local snake forces who are willing to take refuge in him. Li Changqing can give up all the powers such as the army, the land, and the people's livelihood.

There is no pressure on Li Changqing to carry out such a large-scale enfeoffment as Zhou Tianzi did in ancient times.

After overthrowing the Manchu Qing court, Li Changqing will go back and take care of the world. He has the final say on what kind of country to build?

The worst result is to fight the world again, and you can get one more round of system enemies...

This is the best of both worlds!
With this plan in place, Li Changqing was naturally interested in the big guy Hui, who was elected by the Chaozhou clan forces, namely Qiu Hui.

This kind of local power that has been elected will definitely not be weak, and it will save much time and effort than supporting it yourself.

Yan Dingjun also came prepared, and naturally collected the information of Da Laohui in advance.

It is difficult to collect information on the Qiu family's smuggling business, but Qiu Jiaming's face-to-face transactions, as well as the thousands of muskets displayed to frighten Xiaoxiao, and the thousands of strong men can still talk about it.

After 10 minutes, Li Changqing had a certain understanding of the strength of this big guy Hui.

Although Yan Dingjun didn't explain clearly how Big Brother Hui could afford to support thousands of strong men, but thousands of strong men were not a threat at all to Li Changqing, and he would not care about these 'little problems'.

Li Changqing only needs to know that the big brother Hui has the ability to hold out for a period of time under the strong attack of the Qing army in Guangdong and wait for his rescue.

The strength is enough, the next thing is to see the sincerity of this big guy Hui.

Big Brother Hui is Qiu Hui's nickname. Naturally, this nickname is given by the clan elders and people in the world, not by Qiu Hui himself.

However, with Qiu Hui's influence, he can indeed be called a "big brother" in Guangdong Province.

"In that case, I'll meet with the Qiu family.

By the way, is that big guy Hui willing to come to Chaoyang County to meet me in person? "

When Yan Dingjun heard this, he was taken aback for a moment and replied: "They didn't say this, and the subordinates don't know."

"Since they are here to ask me to do something, it is natural to put your attitude right. You tell their people that you can negotiate if you want, and I will wait for them at the county government office in Chaoyang County.

But it must be that big brother Hui himself who came to offer the gift they were talking about, otherwise... Hehe. "

Li Changqing sneered, the answer was self-evident.

After traveling to this parallel world, Li Changqing, who is used to killing, has long developed a habit of using unscrupulous means for profit.

By doing this, he clearly wanted to give Hui, the boss of Chaozhou Prefecture, a blow.

And this big guy Hui was elected by the clan gentry in Chaozhou. Li Changqing was equivalent to telling the clan gentry in the entire Chaozhou prefecture who was the boss here.

Of course, if that big brother Hui didn't give Li Changqing face and didn't do what he said, Li Changqing couldn't really slaughter all the clans in Chaozhou Prefecture, even the Qing army wouldn't do such a thankless thing...

But to uproot the Qiu family, Li Changqing would still do it.

Unless the Qiu family is willing to be a gang of rogues, running around to avoid Li Changqing's revenge.

If the Qiu family did that, their lives might be saved, but the family business would almost be ruined.

After all, a top gentry and a group of rogues have completely different appeals to ordinary people. Those thousands of strong men are willing to obey the orders of the Qiu family because the Qiu family is powerful, rich and powerful. It just fell away.

Because of this, if the Qiu family can't handle the disarming power given by Li Changqing, the whole family will suffer accordingly.

This is the real sense of seeking skin with a tiger.

Now, it depends on whether Qiu Hui has the courage to come to Chaoyang County in person.

Today, Chaoyang County, where Li Changqing is located, is recognized by even Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi as the cave of Longtan and Tiger. The elite Qing army composed of thousands of Han and Eight Banners only dared to wander around the edge of Chaoyang County, and did not even dare to stay in a fixed place for too long. Li Changqing sneaked over and threw a war puppet to play to death...

For the Chaozhou clan gentry, this kind of place is no longer dangerous...

Not to mention, Li Changqing was smeared by the Qing court as a heart-eating demon who would kill a baby every now and then for a tooth sacrifice...

What if this enters the county seat of Chaoyang County and is stewed by Li Changqing?
Under the preconceived notion of the shadow of a famous tree, the impression of Li Changqing was distorted by the Qing government's propaganda of the clan gentry and ordinary people in Chaozhou Prefecture.

In the comic novel, Li Changqing is the proper spokesperson for the image of the big devil.

Throughout the ages, those who dare to go deep into the devil's lair to trade with the devil king are either warriors or fools...

Not long after, Li Changqing's reply was sent back to the Qiu family.

After Qiu Hui received Li Changqing's reply, without further ado, he immediately summoned all the prominent clan gentry in Chaozhou Prefecture to hold a meeting.

The content of the meeting was not for Qiu Hui to escape, but to announce to everyone the feat of stepping into the dragon's lake and tiger's den.

Who says the ancients can't hype?

They just didn't invent the word hype!

Qiu Hui knew that there was only one answer for the options given by the demon Taoist Li Changqing, otherwise he and his entire family would be doomed.

In a sense, the demon Li Changqing is even more dangerous than the Qing court.

Because Li Changqing, a demon, is a terrifying existence with great power in one body, unlike the Qing court who has a big family and a big business, and he has to consider the cost of benefits in everything he does.

In order to win over the hearts and minds of the people, the Qing court even created a fig leaf for the Manchu and Han families, and even opened up the imperial examination to the Han people to search for elites among the Han people to help the Manchu court suppress the world.

However, the demon Dao Li Changqing didn't need a fig leaf at all. Looking at the military management system of the Qing army, it was clear that the entire Qing army was the demon Dao Li Changqing's voice, and no one dared to violate it in the slightest.

Facing the existence of the demon Daoist Li Changqing, if he offended him, Qiu Hui guessed that the other party would have a [-]% or [-]% chance of uprooting the Qiu family's foundation.

Even if this is just for Li Changqing, the demon Daoist, to show his prestige and vent his anger!

Therefore, Qiu Hui has only one way to go...

In fact, when he accepted the proposal of the Chaozhou villagers and was willing to be the talker, he predicted the current scene.

Qiu Hui has also weighed the pros and cons. The Qiu family's old nest is in Chaozhou, and most of the foundation is in the territory of Chaozhou Prefecture. It is impossible for Qiu Hui to watch the evil Taoist Li Changqing really wipe out all the clan gentry in Chaozhou Prefecture.

Li Changqing, a monster, is like a hungry dragon. When he eats up the clan gentry around him, sooner or later he will spread his greedy face to the wealthy Qiu family.

Instead of struggling desperately at that time, it is better to accept the pleas of the fellow villagers in advance, not only to share the loss, but also to boost one's own prestige.

This is Qiu Hui's little calculation.

To put it bluntly, it was a helpless move because the fist was not big enough.

In Qiu Hui's eyes, the unruly and unfettered demon Li Changqing is undoubtedly more difficult and dangerous to deal with.

If you want to keep the Qiu family, you have to serve the demon Li Changqing comfortably.

So, Big Brother Hui inquired about the news that Li Changqing, the demon Taoist, is still unmarried...

Qiu Hui, who once again gained a wave of personal prestige after meeting the leading figures in Chaozhou Prefecture, came to the boudoir of his first-born daughter Qiu Shuzhen, faced the closed door, sighed inwardly, and raised his hand to knock on the room. Door.

"Who is it!"

A melodious female voice like an oriole came out of the room, revealing unspeakable sorrow in her voice.

"I am your father."

Big Brother Hui shouted pretending to be majestic.

Immediately afterwards, crying came from the boudoir: "I've already said, I don't want to marry that cannibal.

Father, please, don't force me anymore, okay?
Do you really have the heart to give your daughter to the monster as a snack?

As long as you don't marry the demon Taoist Li Changqing, you can ask me to marry anyone, I will never be willful again, I will listen to whatever my father says, really, I swear! "

Big brother Hui's heart was aching, but the expression on his face was very tough.

This matter is related to the future of the Qiu family. He can risk his own life, let alone his daughter's marriage?
Qiu Hui has already collected information that Li Changqing, a monster, doesn't really eat human flesh and drink human blood!

It was all slander by the Qing court.

Of course, Qiu Hui would not waste manpower and material resources to clarify the demon Taoist Li Changqing.

Not to mention that there is no benefit to doing so, and it is easy to be labeled as a traitor by the Qing court.

The Qing army did not dare to fight against the demon Taoist Li Changqing, but the Pingnan Palace still has the strength to destroy a Qiu family.

Don't look at the thousands of armed men under the Qiu family who are awesome. Compared with the real Qing army, their combat effectiveness is scum.

There is still a big gap between the regular army and the private armed forces of the gentry.

After all, the armed men of the Qiu family are not real professional soldiers, and they need to work on weekdays.

Working part-time is the job of these thousands of strong men.

The Qiu family did not have the strength to compete with the Qing court, so naturally they would not waste a lot of money to build a real army.

Military training is a bottomless pit for finances.

"How many times have I said that Li Changqing is not really a cannibal, that's what Qing court officials deliberately smeared Li Changqing.

Li Changqing has already replied, I will personally lead the team to Chaoyang County to negotiate with Li Changqing, this time you must follow me! "

Qiu Shuzhen in the boudoir suddenly raised her voice and retorted: "I won't!"

"Then I'll tie you up!"

"father!

If you force me again, I will hang myself! "

"Hehe, don't I understand my daughter?

With your courage, you can faint from fright at the sight of blood. If you really dared to commit suicide, would you be so afraid of Li Changqing because of a few rumors?
Dad watched you grow up since childhood, so don't play tricks on me. "

Qiu Shuzhen, who had been punctured, suddenly lost her momentum, and she could tell that this time her father really planned to tie her to Chaoyang County to meet the demon Taoist Li Changqing.

In fact, Qiu Shuzhen also believed in what her father said.

I think that Li Changqing, a demon, probably won't really eat people.

After all, it is impossible for a father to push his daughter to an ogre.

but……

Qiu Shuzhen is really scared!

What if?
What if there is an event?
If it is eaten, it will definitely hurt!

Qiu Shuzhen has been afraid of pain since she was a child...

"It's fine if you don't let me in. I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. Do you choose to follow me comfortably, or let someone tie you up and take you away? Think about it carefully."

Qiu Hui said pretending to be threatening.

He knew his daughter too well. With her spoiled temperament, she would never choose to be tied up.

After all, being strangled by a rope will hurt...

Sure enough, the next morning, Qiu Shuzhen pouted her small mouth that could hold a soy sauce bottle, and followed her father into the traveling carriage.

Surrounded by heavily armed members of the Qiu family.

It's not the kind of armed man who does hard work in his job, but a murderous servant specially trained by the Qiu family.

Many properties in the Qiu family's hands are shady, so it is natural to train a group of professional killers to support their appearance.

As for the servants who followed Qiu Hui to Chaoyang County, the worst ones were masters, and many of them were Jianghu warriors that the Qiu family had won over.

Serving as bodyguards for the gentry and aristocratic families is also the main choice for the quacks to find employment.

After all, quacks who make their homes all over the world are often relatively poor.

Before Qiu Huiren arrived, the gift list had already been sent to Li Changqing's mansion in advance.

At the same time, Li Changqing also learned of one of Qiu Hui's "small gifts" for the first time.

"Marriage?
This Qiu Hui dares to think, even if a "monster" like me dares to marry, isn't he afraid that the Qiu family will be crushed by the Qing army? "

Yan Dingjun, who took the first place, replied with a smile: "That Qiu Hui was worried about this, so he revealed it when he was approaching our place.

Qiu Hui should be confident enough to convince the general. "

"If Qiu Hui can satisfy me, I happen to be short of a woman who serves tea and water by my side, so it doesn't matter if I take his daughter.

If the clan gentry in Guangdong Province were as knowledgeable as Qiu Hui, there would be no resistance for us to defeat the Qing army and recover Guangdong Province. "
