Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Normally, Jiu Shuai would be extremely kind to these Xiang Army Generals, when his older brother's energy was low, he would help some of the brothers to take care of some matters, thus, in the group of Xiang Army, Ceng Guoquan would often become Ceng Guofan's spokesperson.

The general was respectful to Jiu Shuai, and Ceng Guoquan was also very friendly to the generals. It was rare for him to give any face, but today, Jiu Shuai's expression was so dark that water was about to drip.

"Ai …" What else could happen? "I don't know where this brother came from, but he actually wants to block the transfer of civilian property, and ban all the transfer of land, properties, factories, workshops, and other large industries in the Jiang-Nan region for two months!"

"AHH!" Everyone in the meeting room was in an uproar, "How can we do that? Let's not talk about whether this decree is right or wrong. Such a huge responsibility is not something we can bear, right? "Without the approval of the imperial government, how could we dare issue such a decree? This is a big taboo!"

Ceng Guoquan rubbed his temples in pain, "Do you think I don't know? As the governor of the two rivers, as well as the representative of the military and political authority in Jiangnan, my brother has already been criticized as the King of Jiangnan by many of the people in the imperial court. Now that he has issued such a decree, isn't it obvious that he is doing it on purpose? "

"Damn those Beijing s of the Beijing, they don't like us at all. When this decree is given, the entire Forbidden City will collapse! "But I can't dissuade you …"

Xiang Army's men brought Bao Chao over to Jiu Shuai's side and whispered, "Even if you can't, you have to! This was no longer a political dispute within the imperial government. It was more so a war for money! "Breaking a person's road to wealth is like killing their parents. How can a marshal break a person's path to wealth?"

"Now that the Jiangnan paper money has fallen, how many workshops don't even have the cash to start their construction? Now is the time to make a fortune. You can buy countless industries with just a little money!"

"As far as I know, the foreign merchants in Shanghai have already made their move, and the senior officials of the Manchu sent by the imperial government have also begun their action … I heard that Ma Xinyi, who was sent to take over the position of governor of Two Rivers, did not do anything else but bring her subordinates to explore Jiangnan's properties. What do you think he wants to do?

Bao Chao's words received the approval of everyone. They all said, "That's right, there are countless people who want to eat this fat of Jiangnan right now, whoever has the silver is the ancestor, one silver can be used as much as ten taels of silver as usual. If you don't take the chance and eat this now, you won't be a fool …"

"Jiu Shuai! Brothers, we will not lie to you. In this Notes crisis, we have suffered a great loss on our southern ticket, we are just waiting for you guys to spend some money to buy some industrial subsidies … [The brothers are having a tough time with the marshal!]

Ceng Guoquan was upset by all of this talk, so he scolded softly, "What's the use of forcing me? His big brother is now obsessed with magic, we will listen to Xiao Letian, who do you think was the one to come up with this rotten idea? Wasn't it because Ryukyu sent a secret message, that Big Bro started to mess around! "

"F * ck!" It was this bastard again! Do we owe him the Xiang Army? Why does it go on and on endlessly? "Not many good things have happened, let's take care of everything else …"

"No, Jiu Shuai, you have to take the lead and talk about the Great Marshal, we can't sink together with the Ryukyu! On what basis is big guy giving up his job? "

In fact, Ceng Guoquan's rebellious heart had already calmed down. Ever since the heart and soul conversation between him and his brother, he knew that the good time for Zeng Family to rebel was already long gone, or perhaps he had never come here before.

With his age, even if he wanted to rebel, there was no time.

But not rebelling did not mean that they would not do anything. Since the Dragon Throne did not have any hopes, then they might as well throw their unlimited desire into the business of making money, and leave some assets for their descendants and their old brothers in the Xiang Army!

Thinking about it, Ceng Guoquan let out a long sigh. In fact, I admire Xiao Letian a lot too, he who laid down such a huge business with his bare hands, is stronger than me! But this time, Xiao Letian is not optimistic, I have read through foreign intelligence many times, both in terms of quantity and quality, the Russian fleet is good, and there are many of them … "

"Not only the warships, they are also accompanied by dozens of troop carrier. The total number of people in the army and navy is over 30,000. How do you think we should fight them? That is why Xiao Letian will lose for sure, then we cannot bet on this ship that is heavier than us! "

"No matter what, I will definitely give my advice in a moment. Are you going to review it or not?"

"Nothing to say!" What about Jiu Shuai, we will definitely follow him … Xiao Letian can't win this time, we can't bet on him.

As they were discussing, a loud voice came from the back of the hall, "The marshal has arrived!" All the generals kneel down and welcome you! " There was a loud bang as the thirty over high-ranking generals in the hall stood up in unison, all of them casting their gazes towards the White Tiger Screen in front of them.

Steady footsteps came out. When the smiling Ceng Guofan appeared in front of them, all the generals knelt down with a loud thud. "Greetings, Marshal!"

"Get up! Ha ha-ha, this winter has been very cold and my body has been in a bad condition. I haven't gathered much with the big guys, so I hope you don't take offense to this! "Is everyone here …"

The generals raised their heads to look at the marshal. At that moment, everyone was stunned; they did not expect the marshal to be so robust. His face was flushed and he did not look like he had been bedridden for a long time.

There was an old general with reddened eyes, "Marshal …" We thought you were sick! Seeing that you are in such good health today, I have finally calmed my heart down! "We haven't seen the marshal in the entire winter. I missed you so much …"

Ceng Guofan was, after all, the creator of the Xiang Army. He was the one who promoted the majority of the generals, so their feelings for the marshal were very simple and honest.

Ceng Guofan was also moved as he laughed, "Thank you big fellow for thinking of me. I'm fine, I'm fine … Alright, let's call out the names first! "

Three minutes later, the old farmer turned to the marshal and said, "Besides the newly appointed two-river governor Ma Xinyi and the other two generals who have yet to arrive, the thirty-three generals have all arrived!"

Ceng Guofan nodded his head, "Ma Xinyi is currently working in the southern region of the Jiang Han Dynasty, so it is understandable for him to be a bit slow. The other two brats were unintentionally late, so they had to remember to be punished for half a year!"

"Alright, let's discuss the matter then. After I leave Jiangnan, how should our Xiang Army do it?"

Just as the people of Grand Commander's Estate were about to begin their discussion, on the official road at the foot of Mount Nanjing, a squadron of cavalrymen was galloping forward frantically. The leader of the riders was the newly appointed governor of the two rivers, Ma Xinyi.
