Sanshengshi was so depressed that he vomited blood. Every time he met Chen Hao, Chen Hao would use his official position to suppress him. Ice and Fire! Chinese... It is said that the first level of officialdom crushes people to death. Chen Hao ate him to death and was punished by the superior officials at every turn.
Official. Now he is just a non-staff person. When meeting Chen Hao, a fifth-level official, he should bow to him according to the rules. If Chen Hao is more serious, he will only suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.
Chen Hao just scared Sanshengshi. Sanshengshi sent people to inquire about him at Yingkou. He also arranged for his subordinates to monitor Sanshengshi. Recently, Sanshengshi often went to Shengjing General Mansion. He knew that if he seized the handle of Sanshengshi and dealt with Sanshengshi, Zengqi would
He would probably be impartial, but Zengqi would not be happy if he used his official position to suppress Sanshengshi. If Zengqi felt that Sanshengshi had been wronged, it would be a big loss to appoint Chen Hao to a good official position.
Zengqi was very happy when his subordinates reported that Chen Baxian and Sanshengshi had come to visit. One of the two people had given him a lot of money because of their knowledge and interest, and the other was a barrier he relied on to resist the Russians. He did not want the two of them to get into trouble. He ordered his subordinates to take care of the two.
They were introduced into the living room. After the two greeted each other, Zengqi said with a smile: "Where did you two come from?"
Sanshengshi replied first: "My subordinates came from Jinzhou because they got some information and dare not not report it to the general."
Zengqi said in surprise: "What information did you get?"
Sanshengshi said quickly: "A friend of mine works in the Yingkou Zhili Department. Yesterday he told me that Mr. Chen Baxian openly established his own territory in Dongchang Fort and also recruited private troops. Mr. Chen was originally a colleague of the Yingkou Zhili Department.
The entire Yingkou is under his jurisdiction, and he finds it strange that he recruits private army subordinates..."
Zengqi began to have a headache again. When he saw Sanshengshi and Chen Baxian arriving at the same time, he originally thought that the two had turned their hostility into friendship, but unexpectedly they were still fighting each other. It was common for imperial officials to recruit some confidants to become private soldiers when they held official positions, but it was common for them to openly establish territories
This was not normal, so Zengqi glanced at Chen Hao and said, "Master Chen, is what Sanshengshi said true?"
Chen Hao smiled and nodded: "It's completely true. Your Excellency gave me some machines last time, and Lafayette ordered me to take some machines from the Jilin Machinery Bureau to build an arsenal in Yingkou. Now the two palaces are still in Chang'an, and the imperial court
No one came to help me build the arsenal. In order to quickly build the arsenal and produce ammunition to deal with the Russians, my subordinates had to allocate a piece of land in Dongchang Fort to build the factory. Because they were worried that some villains would deceive the public and accuse me, my subordinates hurriedly worked hard.
I rushed to Shengjing to report it to you, I hope you will see clearly."
Zengqi nodded and said: "I remembered it. Last time I promised to win the battle and asked you to drag the machine to Yingkou. You dragged the bullet production line there, and there is also firearm maintenance machinery in the warehouse. This time since you
When we come, drag us there together!”
Chen Hao said with a grateful face: "Thank you, sir! In addition to reporting to you this time, I also have something I hope you can help me with. Those Western machines need electricity. There is no thermal power plant in Yingkou, so I kindly ask your permission to allow me to do so."
Connect the cable from Shengjing to Yingkou to enable the arsenal to operate."
Zengqi thought for a moment and said: "You built the arsenal to fight the enemy. I can let you use electricity. But after you build the arsenal and put it into production, if there are surplus bullets, some of them will be sent to Shengjing so that I can equip other battalions."
"
Chen Hao looked troubled and said: "Sir, there are nine battalions of soldiers at Yingkou. Many of the battalions are short of guns and ammunition. I'm afraid there won't be any surplus in the short term."
Zengqi waved his hand and said: "I don't want your guns and bullets for now, until you develop the arsenal. Speaking of which, you have been given preferential treatment by the imperial court in each battalion in Yingkou. They are all strangers. Sanshengshi raised his own money to recruit soldiers in Jinzhou.
We also prepare military pay and firearms by ourselves, so if you have the ability, you can help me."
After Sanshengshi heard that Chen Hao could build an arsenal, he went crazy with jealousy. Every player knows that the arsenal is the most important building in China. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there is an arsenal of a certain scale, no matter how stupid a player is, he can develop
A large number of troops.
Hearing that Zengqi provided Chen Hao with the machine Sanshengshi, he regretted that he had not invested more in Zengqi to get the machine. Zengqi asked Chen Hao to provide bullets but was rejected. Sanshengshi saw the opportunity, and he quickly said: "Sir, if
Give me the machine and let me build an arsenal in Huludao. I will definitely pay half of the guns and ammunition to you every month."
Zengqi glanced at Sanshengshi and said: "Chen Ba first established the arsenal because it was the Queen Mother's will, so I will strongly support him. Moreover, most of the machines he used to build the arsenal came from the Jilin Machinery Bureau. Although I provided him with a large number of machines, it was only
Even if all the machines for producing bullets and repairing firearms are given to you, you will not be able to produce firearms."
If Zengqi could make a decision, of course he would be willing to hand over the arsenal to Sanshengshi, because there was a lot of oil and water in the arsenal. Although Chen Baxian was able to fight, he was not a good man. Even though he received many benefits, Master Zengqi never gave him any money.
If Sanshengshi is allowed to build an arsenal and sell the guns and ammunition delivered to strangers every month, it will be a huge income.
It's a pity that Zengqi doesn't have this power. Although he is superior in front of Chen Hao and Sanshengshi, he will never dare to violate the will of the Empress Dowager Cixi. After the Yingkou Arsenal starts to operate, as long as Chen Hao doesn't nod, even if he is the general of Shengjing, he will not be able to touch the arsenal.
, after all, Chen Hao held a heavy weight in Cixi's heart, and Zengqi also heard about Cixi's willingness to give up negotiations for him.
Sanshengshi really wanted to tell Zengqi that he wanted it even if it was just a bullet production line, but unfortunately he knew it was useless. Damn it, Chen Baxian jumped in and took away all the benefits.
Zengqi originally thought that Chen Hao and Sanshengshi came together, but now that he knew that the two just met by chance at the door, and that Sanshengshi had filed a criminal complaint, he was afraid that the relationship between the two would become even more tense. He glanced at Sanshengshi and said, "Sanshengshi, what do you think about Chen Hao?"
Your Excellency has many misunderstandings. In the future, you should not target Mr. Chen again and should cooperate with Mr. Chen."
Sanshengshi said with a bitter look on his face: "I understand."
Just when Chen Hao was gloating about his misfortune, Zengqi said to him: "Master Chen has a broad mind, and of course he will not be as knowledgeable as a junior like Sanshengshi. Although Sanshengshi is very offensive to you, he also has a heart for the country. So be it! Today's Japan
I will be a peacemaker for you two. You two should not argue anymore. I have brought out 200 rifles to support Sanshengshi. As a superior officer, Mr. Chen has also brought out 200 rifles to support the Huludao Security Camp.
!”
Zengqi's words made Chen Hao and Sanshengshi very unhappy. Sanshengshi accidentally became Chen Hao's descendant, making him want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Chen Hao was even more unhappy, so Zengqi asked him to give him two hundred rifles.
Sanshengshi was more uncomfortable than killing him. Not to mention two hundred rifles, it was impossible for him to give Sanshengshi two rifles to him, but if he refuted it now, it would lose Zengqi's face.
Chen Hao had no choice but to adopt delaying tactics and said: "The nine battalions under my command are not fully equipped yet. If the arsenal starts to produce, my subordinates will definitely support the younger ones and send two hundred rifles to Huludao."
Sanshengshi was so choked by Chen Hao's two "juniors" that he rolled his eyes. He cupped his hands towards Zengqi and said, "I would like to thank you for your kindness! It's just that Master Chen is not sincere and has no intention of giving the lower official a rifle. You better not force me."
.”
Zengqi glanced at Chen Hao with a displeased look and said: "Mr. Chen, you still have thousands of guns under your command. I also gave you 1,200 guns as a gift a few days ago. Now I ask you to take out two
Hundreds of rifles to support my colleagues, how can I be embarrassed by your pushback and obstruction? If you don’t hand over 200 rifles to Sanshengshi within a month, then you will report directly to the Queen Mother and don’t need to pay attention to me anymore. Anyway, the Queen Mother treats you very well.
appreciate……"
Zengqi became really angry after being refuted, and every word was heart-breaking. The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current governor. No matter how favored Chen Hao is by the Empress Dowager Cixi, he will serve in Shengjing and be under the jurisdiction of the Shengjing General Mansion.
.If he offends Zengqi to death, Zengqi will give him little shoes to wear at any time. For example, if Zengqi exaggerates the establishment of his base area and reports it to the police, he will definitely not get any good results.
In desperation, Chen Hao could only hold up his hands and said: "I don't dare to shirk the responsibility. When I get back, I will prepare two hundred rifles. I will definitely give Sansheng Stone within a month."
Zengqi laughed loudly and said, "I knew Mr. Chen was willing to give me this face. Today you two have turned their hostility into friendship. It's worth celebrating, so just stay in my general's mansion and drink!"
Sanshengshi felt very happy when he saw Chen Hao pinching his nose and recognizing the two hundred rifles for him. He felt that it was worth being called junior a few times. He bowed his hand to Chen Hao and said: "Thank you Mr. Chen for your generosity. I am grateful."
Not enough."
Chen Hao tilted his head to the side. It was absolutely impossible for him to hand over two hundred rifles to Sanshengshi, and he didn't want Zengqi to stay in Fengtian. Sanshengshi had put a lot of thought into Zengqi, and now Zengqi was interested in him
He has attached great importance to it. After the "Xinchou Treaty" is signed and Zengqi doesn't need him to fight, he will be more inclined to Sanshengshi.
It is impossible for Chen Hao to bribe Zengqi as hard as Sanshengshi. Although he has a lot of money now, he is not willing to spend it carelessly. He handed over the property he brought back from the capital to Tang Qunying to help deal with it. If the money after selling is not enough, he will not use it as a last resort.
Use.
Bribing an NPC like Zengqi is a bottomless pit. Sanshengshi is just a non-staff person. Maybe a few thousand oceans can be bribed to satisfy Zengqi. Chen Hao is a colleague of Yingkou Zhili Department and has more power in his hands. He went to bribe
Without tens of thousands of dollars, Zengqi wouldn't be able to be moved.
The key is that Chen Hao has no interest in promotion now and just wants to continue serving in Yingkou. He will not get corresponding benefits by bribing Zengqi. It is difficult for Chen Hao to not spend money to bribe and serve under Zengqi.
The best solution is to transfer Zengqi, but Zengqi is a high-ranking member of the imperial court and is not easy to take down. It will take a lot of effort to transfer him.
