On the sixth day after Gao Shaoyi entered Haicheng, the heads of twenty-nine businessmen were chopped off in the temporary camp. According to Gao Shaoyi's order, everyone's heads were hung by the camp gate for ten days.
Gao Shaoyi had two meanings in doing this. The first meaning was naturally to ask the businessmen in the camp to pay for their lives.
On the other hand, he wanted to see what the troops in the concession were doing. If they dared to come out, Gao Shaoyi wouldn't mind ambushing them halfway.
More than 40,000 troops were huddled in the concession, and together with some of their young and strong men, the total number would exceed 60,000 to 70,000. If Gao Shaoyi were to deal with such a hedgehog, I am afraid Gao Shaoyi would also suffer heavy casualties, but if
If someone comes out, we can ambush them halfway and annihilate or capture all the troops who come out, so that the people in the concession will not dare to move.
At that time, Gao Shaoyi's goal was achieved. We will boil the frog in warm water and slowly take over the Haicheng Concession. Today we will bite you a piece of meat, and tomorrow we will cut off your leg. In short, we will be able to control the entire Haicheng without warning.
Concession.
Unfortunately, things did not go as Gao Shaoyi thought. Although the Haicheng Concession sent a lot of scouts, the other combat troops did not send anyone. They were determined to be turtles.
"There's something wrong with this. In the past, even if a foreigner was beaten outside, their rental army would send out hundreds of people. Now that we have killed dozens of people, can we just endure it like this?
?”
Boss Wang had already gone out several times, just to see what was going on in the Haicheng Concession, but from morning to night not a single scout came back to report the news. You must know that there were more than 60 scouts arranged along the way.
"How's the recruitment going?"
Gao Shaoyi also had some doubts in his heart, but Gao Shaoyi didn't have the time to dwell on this matter. If you send troops, we can find a solution. If you don't send troops, we can find a solution.
"Not to mention how popular it is, aren't we going to recruit four regiments of 20,000 people? Now more than 50,000 people have signed up, and the selection of new recruits is in progress. Now the two regiments are full, and tomorrow they will be
Training at the training center in the south of the city."
The Suppression Army has such a strong reputation, and they are even handed three silver coins a month. Everyone is not a fool, so naturally they are willing to join the Suppression Army and join the camp.
"By the way, Li Kunyi is coming soon."
Boss Wang suddenly thought of another thing. Gao Shaoyi had made an agreement with Li Hongtang earlier, and Li Kun would come to Gao Shaoyi later to help.
Gao Shaoyi knew that Li Kunyi was the young master of Li Hongtang's family, but the two of them had hung out together before. Generally speaking, his humanity was not bad.
The most important thing is that this guy hates foreigners.
Li Hongtang helped the Daqian Empire sign many unequal treaties, and many people outside regarded Li Hongtang as a traitor.
In fact, can you blame Li Hongtang for this? The Daqian Empire is really too weak. It is not easy for people to deal with the imperialist countries and preserve the Daqian Empire.
So whenever he heard someone scolding Li Hongtang, Li Kun wanted to kill all these foreigners.
"Brother..."
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here.
Before five minutes had passed by Gao Shaoyi's side, Li Kunyi appeared outside the gate of Gao Shaoyi's camp.
In the capital, the two of them drank wine together and bullied the people on the street. They could be considered brothers in the trenches. However, after Li Kun called out his eldest brother, he clearly felt that the atmosphere around him was not right.
"Master Hou..."
Seeing the murderous soldiers around him, Li Kun swallowed what he said and quickly changed his name to another one. Now Gao Shaoyi is the god of the soldiers who suppressed the captives. Can you call him eldest brother in the military camp?
It doesn’t matter if your father is Li Hongtang.
"Okay, you can call me like this when you are in front of outsiders. When no one is around, just call me brother. Although this is a military camp, it is still unkind."
Gao Shaoyi patted this guy on the shoulder. It seemed that Lao Li's family had good food and he was very strong.
Hearing Gao Shaoyi's words, Li Kunyi breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Li Hongtang had already told him when he came here that your career as a playboy was over. Now that you have arrived in Haicheng, you must follow Gao Shaoyi's footsteps.
Do a good job.
"This is a letter from my father. He said that he would give it to you first after arriving. There is something important."
Li Kun looked around nervously, then took out the letter.
Since Li Hongtang explained it like this, there must be very important content in it.
Don't see the old boy in the capital, but he actually knows everything that happens here.
First of all, the two county magistrates of Haicheng and Wuxian have been settled. The documents from the court have not been issued. This is because the process took a long time. Gao Shaoyi can now declare to the outside world that he is the magistrate of Haicheng County.
Secondly, the six million silver coins originally agreed upon as taxes must be escorted to the capital in the near future.
According to Gao Shaoyi's idea, he originally planned to transport it there by the end of this year, but thinking about the big trouble he had caused in Haicheng, Li Hongtang and Prince Ding were also under great pressure within the court. The tax burden of these six million silver coins
In the past, it must have helped them relieve their stress.
The most important thing is the third one.
The emperor has shown his intention and asked Gao Shaoyi to find a way to deal with Earl Jingyi of Dongdi Kingdom.
It has never happened before for a great kingdom to marry a princess to a small vassal state.
Although the current emperor is fatuous and incompetent, he also knows that in the history of Daqian, he must not put this record on his head. It turns out that he does not have the ability, so he can only endure it, but after knowing what Gao Shaoyi did
, this matter will be left to Gao Shaoyi.
Gao Shaoyi burned this letter silently. It seems that you two, father and daughter, are depending on me.
The faces of the current emperor and Princess Wen Ning appeared in Gao Shaoyi's mind.
But even if the emperor did not give the order and he was already like Princess Wen Ning, Gao Shaoyi would never allow his wife to marry a Dongdi man.
"Master Hou, what did my father say? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Li Kunyi also wanted to know what was on the letter, and wanted to take a look at it along the way, but he remembered the black face of his old man, and had suppressed curiosity all the way, and now he also wanted to know what it said.
"Of course you can help. Have you brought your patrol camp paperwork?"
This guy has a patrol camp of 1,500 people. Gao Shaoyi naturally has to implement this matter first, but this guy's role is not here.
He is the son of Li Hongtang, and Li Hongtang is the leader of Beiyang. There is also a small fleet in Haicheng...??
