After asking this question, Huang Menglin's suspicion was obvious. Even Che Renzhong nodded and expressed a certain degree of concern.

However, after Liu Yizhou heard this, he just blew on the steaming tea in his hand, took a sip, and then confidently said to the two of them: "Don't worry, you two, this is

There is no reason why things can’t work out.”

"oh?"

Liu Yizhou was so confident that he aroused the interest of Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin. However, this aide was unhurried and fiddled with the tea cup slowly. In Che Renzhong's eyes, it was very elegant, but in Huang Menglin's view,

But there is always a way of deliberately imitating the behavior of scholar-bureaucrats.

"A cloaked slave is a cloaked slave. No matter how hard you learn, you can never learn the elegance of a true scholar-bureaucrat."

Even so, Huang Menglin would not put it into words when he went there. On the contrary, he would take things seriously and work hard to nourish his energy. The two of them were like this, but Che Renzhong was a little itchy by the two of them, so he spoke frankly.

He asked Liu Yizhou: "How do you say this, Mr. Liu?"

Seeing someone losing his temper, a trace of complacency flashed across Liu Yizhou's face, and he immediately put down the tea cup, raised his hand and asked him: "May I ask Mr. Che, what is the surname of the military leader in your province?"

As soon as Liu Yizhou said this, Huang Menglin's eyes immediately lit up, and even the tension on his face relaxed a lot. The two of them were like playing charades, but they were extremely anxious about the car, and the displeasure on their faces was also evident.

It was slowly accumulating, as if it was going to explode the next moment.

"Let's put it this way, the military boss of your province has the surname Tong Jia, and his upper body and his lower body are Jia; and my master also has the surname Tong Jia, and his upper body and the lower level are Nai. There are differences in seniority, but in the end we are all relatives.

If you can't write two words of "tong" in one stroke, is it still impossible?"

Liu Yizhou said that Tong Yangjia, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was okay. Once he mentioned his master Tong Guonai, he immediately stood up and respectfully faced the direction of Fuzhou. The respect in his tone could not be higher. During the Qing Dynasty, especially

In the early and mid-term period, there was a saying in officialdom that "Wolf in a den, Tong Banchao" refers to the large number of these two surnames in the officialdom. Among them, "Wolf" is the homophony of "Lang", which refers to the old surname.

Niu Gulu's surname is a common Manchu surname, and Tong is naturally Tong Jia's surname.

The Tong Jia family was famous for hundreds of years in the middle and early Qing Dynasty. Internally, they were ministers, ministers, and externally, they were generals and governors. They had many hairpins for generations, and Lan Qi became a utopia. Among them were Nurhaci's Yuanfei Haha Nazaqing, and Hu Erhan, one of the five founding ministers.

Tong Yangxing, the first commander of Wuzhenchaoha, Empress Xiaokangzhang of Shunzhi, Empress Xiaoyiren and Imperial Concubine Cuihui of Kangxi, and Longkodo, the powerful minister of Yongzheng Dynasty, were all born in the Tongjia family. For example, Tong Yangjia,

Although Tong Guonai is a high-ranking official at the governor level, he is no longer considered a celebrity among the large gathering of Tong Jia clan.

Next, Liu Yizhou told the two men with great interest, and even a little show off, about the great achievements of the Tong Jia family in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and the great contributions they had made to the Qing Dynasty in the world.

Not a disciple of the Eight Banners, but better than a disciple of the Eight Banners.

When talking about what happened later, Liu Yizhou was already sweating profusely with excitement, especially when he talked about Tong Guonai's suppression of the anti-Qing rebels in Fujian.

But there seemed to be a wound with a scab on it, but it hadn't fallen off yet. It seemed that the wound happened not long ago.

"Mr. Liu, do you need me to ask a doctor to come and take a look at the cut on your head? If there is a scar, it will be detrimental to Mr. Liu's demeanor."

Huang Menglin said it sincerely, and Che Renzhong also noticed the wound. Hearing this, Liu Yizhou subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it, but immediately put it down. He then raised his hand to Huang Menglin and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Huang, for this."

The mouth was left by someone who shaved his hair before he came. The servant didn't know how to do anything and had already been sent away. However, when the student wanted to come, the court ordered that the hair should be shaved to make it easier to dress. The scars left by the student for shaving his hair would not only make him unable to

It is detrimental to one’s elegance and should serve as a testimony of obeying the emperor’s orders!”

Liu Yizhou spoke righteously, and Huang Menglin quickly responded with approval. Keeping your head but not your hair, and keeping your hair but not your hair, this is the harsh rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they have surrendered the Tatars, but they have also

He doesn't care too much about the culture of clothing and the traditions of his parents. It's just that Liu Yizhou is so shameless, but it also makes Che Renzhong look a little unconcerned.

"Chezong Town, you need to know that this money rat tail is the elegance of the new dynasty, and Eguan Bo is the bad habit of ruining the country. Hair shaving is a favor given by the court to the gentry and the common people. Don't ignore it!"

Che Renzhong's micro-expression was obviously seen by Liu Yizhou. As soon as he said this warning, Che Renzhong frowned and was about to explode. But at this moment, Huang Menglin took the lead to take over the words,

While agreeing with Liu Yizhou's insights, he also gave Che Renzhong a chance to step down with kind words, and finally no unpleasantness was caused.

After a long discussion, after receiving the official documents, Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin also arranged for Liu Yizhou and others to stay at the post house. Half of the hundred or so Fujian sailors continued to stay on the ship, and the other half moved into the post house. Finally, they put their errands in advance.

It was done. The rest is nothing more than waiting for the Guangdong governor's office, settling these people before then, and forming a good relationship, and that's about it.

Liu Yizhou said goodbye and left. Looking at the backs of the eloquent Fujian governor's Yamen staff and the two silent Navy Chief Qian, Huang Menglin's mind had already returned to official duties.

"There's no need to try. If this person can say this, there's no way it's false."

Yes, if you can say such shameless things so confidently and confidently, and you are not a bitch, then that is something new.

After confirming the matter, Che Renzhong left in a hurry, and Huang Menglin did not stay. In this Chaozhou city, the two of them were already the highest-ranking civil and military officials, but on weekdays they were at odds with each other.

Regarding official business, there are very few interactions on weekdays.

Huang Menglin continued to handle official duties in the government office. The Qing government's finances were always very tight. The collection of taxes was the first priority of local officials. Chaozhou was a grain-producing government, and the task was not light. In addition, it was also a local separatist government.

The situation has become such that every time the summer and autumn tax collection deadlines come, he will scratch his head. In comparison, the public cases of Chaozhou soldiers disturbing the people are no longer strange. On the contrary, if one day it is those under Che Renzhong

Only when thieves stop disturbing the people will he feel fresh.

Although the prefect is like this, the chief military officer of Chaozhou Town is not easy. In late September last year, he put down King Yi's army in Jieyang with lightning speed. In just three days, Governor Tong and Admiral Li attacked him.

They were all praiseworthy words. But not long after, he confidently planned to take advantage of the momentum of his victory to take down the relatively powerful local separatist force in Chaozhou, Wu Liuqi of Dapu Sanheba, in order to unify Chaozhou.

When the foundation of the government was laid, it suffered a disastrous defeat, and it has not recovered yet.

It was indeed beyond his expectation that Wu Liuqi was so good at fighting, but the bear soldiers under his command had indeed lost all his face. For this reason, he also very rarely started to train his soldiers, even the skills of looking for flowers and asking for help.

They are all missing a lot. If he just wants to fuse the nearly a thousand recruits that he had forcibly recruited with his remaining more than a thousand old soldiers, not to mention training strong soldiers, but just to restore their original combat effectiveness, I'm afraid it will be too late.

It's not something that happens overnight.

After nightfall, Huang Menglin returned to the back house of the Yamen, full of anger about a case that happened today in which the town soldiers harassed the gentry in the city. He was so angry that he couldn't even eat. After practicing the soldiers' carriages all afternoon, he also had heavy duties.

He returned to the mansion and continued to practice "war and horse" on his most favored concubine. At the same time, there was also no unusual movement in the inn in the city. Everything seemed so normal, without even a trace.
