I really don't want to be a warlord

Vice President Tong Jinquan was confused, General Manager Duan Qirui was confused, Vice President Li Bai Xiongqi was confused, and the entire cabinet was confused.

Jingcheng, Zhong Nanhai, in an office.

In the conference room, the cabinet bosses took their seats one after another.

Several people were smoking and chatting happily, whispering softly, and the conference room was filled with smoke for a while.

Li Hong, who was sitting at the top of the table, picked up the tea cup from the Yongzheng period and took a sip.

Then he put it down heavily, as if with too much force, the tea cup clinked and made a crisp sound.

The sound of the tea cup seemed a bit loud, which disturbed everyone.

They all raised their heads and glanced at Li Hong. They understood that this guy was trying to show off, and they all stopped talking in order to save their dignity. The office became quiet for a while.

Seeing this, Li Hong nodded with satisfaction.

He smiled and said lightly:"Let's talk about today's protest by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and your views on Shen Hao's sinking of four Japanese cruisers."

After speaking, Li Hong glanced at Duan Qirui, and the smile on his face became brighter. , said again:"Mr. Duan, you and the Japanese pirates seem to have a good relationship, it's better that you take the lead and say something."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Duan Qirui, secretly happy in their hearts, and wanted to watch the show.

After all, Duan Qirui had received support from his cooperation with Japanese pirates before.

Now Shen Hao, at sea, has knocked down four Japanese cruisers. The Japanese pirates will definitely want to settle the score with Duan Qirui. This is like a mouse in the bellows - both sides are getting angry, and everyone seems to think there is a good show.

However, what Li Hong and others don't know is that Duan Qirui is also patriotic, and he has no choice but to support the Japanese pirates, so he can only save the country in a roundabout way.

Overall, he was still patriotic. He was still very happy about Shen Hao's sinking of the Japanese pirate cruiser, and it was not as miserable as everyone thought.

Of course Duan Qirui knew what everyone was thinking, he took a puff of cigarette and said calmly:

"I think that ignoring the protests from the Japanese pirates is, after all, just a one-sided statement by the Japanese pirates. There is no evidence. They cannot take whatever they say."

"Seconded, I agree with Mr. Duan's opinion," Vice President Li Baixiong said;

Vice President Tong Jinquan glanced at Li Hong, and then nodded:"I agree."

Several other ministers, such as the Minister of Education, Foreign Affairs, Maritime Affairs, and Finance, etc. Yes, they all nodded in agreement.

After all, winning a battle is an exciting and happy thing, and the Japanese pirates who have always been fighting are even more happy.

Duan Qirui was not defeated, and Li Hong was not seen. He was still a little disappointed in his heart, but then he looked at everyone and smiled slightly and said again:"There is one more thing, let everyone share your opinions."

After saying that, the secretary hurriedly took out a piece of gold silk from the brocade box. Everyone was stunned when they saw it. Is this an imperial edict?

Li Hong said with a smile:"This is the Qing court's congratulations to Shen Hao for becoming the governor, and specially commended Shen Hao. , rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.

Who among you is going to publicize this imperial edict?"

Everyone looked at each other. No one takes the imperial edict seriously now.

The power of the imperial edict has long been not as good as before.

Looking at the indifferent expressions on the faces of several people, Li Hong had to sigh in his heart. Back then, an imperial edict glorified the ancestors, but now No one took it seriously.

The Qing court suddenly praised Shen Hao. They were undoubtedly optimistic about Shen Hao's strength and wanted to win over Shen Hao.

Based on their understanding of Shen Hao, this guy would never take the imperial edict seriously.

Going to publicize the imperial edict is not asking for trouble and losing face.

Looking at the indifferent expressions on everyone's faces, it seemed that this was something humiliating.

At this time, Duan Qirui gave Bai Xiong a look. Xiongqi nodded discreetly, coughed slightly and said calmly:"According to the Japanese pirates' information, Shen Hao seems to have arrived in Guangdong Province in less than two days. Since no one has gone, I will go there myself and take a look. My sister."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood that it was fake to visit their sister, but it was real to force her to marry.

Everyone knew that Bai Xiongqi's sister Bai Xiuzhu was Shen Hao's woman, and even laughed at it at first. The prodigal girl actually eloped with someone.

Only now did she realize that she was a prodigal girl. She was so foresight and foresight. Look at Shen Hao now. He is the Japanese pirate ambassador, Gan Ma Zhenbang, and the Japanese pirate navy. From the county magistrate to the division commander, he is directly called the governor. , their influence continues to expand at home and abroad, and looking at them, it turns out that the clown is himself.

For a time, everyone was thinking about how to win over Shen Hao and introduce their daughters to Shen Hao, especially the Foreign Minister Sun Baoqi. Known as the father-in-law of the nation, 14 of his 16 daughters were married to wealthy families. The ones he married were either the sons of Yuan Datou, the sons of princes, and the sons of warlords.

Sun Baoqi gained his status through marriage, so he also fell in love with Shen Hao. , wanted to marry the daughter of his concubine in the fifteenth room to Shen Hao.

The concubine in the fifteenth room was none other than Leng Qingqiu's mother, Leng Susu. Because she was at odds with the main wife, Sun Baoqi had been away from home. He hadn't been there for several years, and now he remembered that he had such a daughter. Li Hong and Jin Quan were very clear about Bai Xiongqi's thoughts, which gave them a sense of urgency.

Not good-looking, he gently picked up the tea cup, took another sip and said:"Since everyone agrees to remain silent about Shen Hao's handling, I suggest that we should treat it coldly."

Everyone nodded, thinking to themselves, you just want to deal with it, do you have the strength?

"If the Japanese pirates want to cause trouble, let them find Shen Hao to make trouble. We don't care."

"At the same time, I suggest that four Japanese cruisers were sunk. How can we be the only one who knows such exciting news?

Since the Jiawu War, we have been defeated, bullied by Japanese pirates and humiliated by Western powers. It is time for the people to cheer up."

"I propose to advertise in the newspaper that Shen Hao sank four Japanese cruisers in the northwest Pacific.���What do you think?"

"agree"

"agree"

"Agree."

Thinking that Bai Xiongqi was going to marry Shen Hao, Li Hong was in a bad mood, and he was no longer in the mood to talk nonsense.

He picked up the tea cup and said calmly:"Since everyone has no objection, let's break up the meeting."

After the meeting, Li Hong called Jin Quan into the office.

He said calmly:"Now Shen Hao is very popular. The royal family also wants to marry their princess to Shen Hao."

"who?"

"The daughter of Minister of Military and Aircraft Yulangbeile"

"Ergege?"Jin Zhongxin," Jin Quan said in shock; if Shen Hao were here, his heart would definitely be moved. After all, these two princesses are the adoptive mothers of the last queen.

"What do you think?

Jin Quan thought for a while and said:"I also have this intention. I plan to marry my fifth daughter Jin Minzhi to Shen Hao as a marriage alliance.""

"This is a good idea, and I heard that Shen Hao is causing quite a stir in Yingmi and Yingmi. I heard that the Titanic belongs to him. Jin

Quan sighed:"Yeah, I didn't expect him to be so rich."

Li Hong shook his head and said,"Isn't this guy a little confused?" Spending so much money on a loan from country D, and the interest rate is so high, I can't understand his thoughts no matter how hard I listen to him."

Jin Quan smiled bitterly and said:"Shen Hao behaves differently from ordinary people. It is impossible to judge by ordinary people."

"Since you want to marry your daughter to Shen Hao for marriage purposes, I suggest you send someone to find out more, communicate with her, and see what Shen Hao's attitude is."

Jin Quan said:"This is necessary. I am going to let my elder Jin Yanxi go. After all, his relationship with Shen Hao is not bad, and they have a bond of communication."

The two looked at each other and laughed. Not only them, Duan Qirui also did the same. He ordered Bai Xiongqi to get Shen Hao and his sister Bai Xiuzhu to get married as soon as possible.

The next day, major newspapers across the country reported They all published yesterday's incident in the Pacific and Shen Hao's sinking of four Japanese cruisers.

It caused a sensation all over the country. The newsboys in the capital couldn't sell a few newspapers even if they shouted hard in the past.

But it's different.

I just stood here and shouted a few words, and the newspapers were all gone.

""Excuse me , Governor Shen sank four Japanese cruisers in the Pacific."

When the newspaper seller shouted this, everyone became excited.

"Give me one, give me one, give me one"

"Don't grab it."

When the last person came, the newsboy said happily:"The boss is gone."

"Isn’t there a portion under your butt?"

"Boss, this is what I want to see"

"Will Cut the Nonsense 15 Articles be sold?"

""Sell, sell, sell."

The little newsboy looked at the thick stack of newspapers and was instantly fascinated. He was excited and incoherent. It can be said that Luoyang paper is expensive.

"Governor Shen’s news is still easy to sell, Governor Shen is doing a great job."
