Kowloon wins

Chapter 558

"Um……"

As soon as Hongqing pushed the old thirteen out, the old fourteen was dumb, and after making a soft noncommittal sound, he didn't say a word for a long time, nothing else, the reason why the old fourteen proposed this time The armament update plan, of course, has the intention of catering to the needs of the eighth master, but it is more for his own consideration, just want to take this opportunity to perform well last time, to prove that he is not worse than the old thirteen Because of this, when making the plan, the old fourteen unceremoniously bypassed the old thirteen, and did not intend to let the old thirteen intervene in the follow-up plan, and now asked him to ask the old thirteen for advice What about the big military training, if it's not a slap in the face?

Hongqing's introduction of the old thirteen was not to embarrass the old fourteen, but because he sincerely hoped that this update of armaments could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, not just to deal with the Junggar tribes, or even It is to beat up the rampant old Maozi, and even more so that the powerful army of the Qing Dynasty can go to the world in the future. To achieve this, it is obviously not enough to rely on the old fourteen's armament update plan. It is better to slow down and gradually expand the army with the new army as the backbone to the rest of the army. In this way, although the time will be delayed for a long time, the victory lies in the solid foundation. There is also a lot of room for development. Of course, even though Hong Qing knows how to do it, it is impossible for him to come forward to organize the army. Only the neutral elder brother, the old thirteen, can reassure all parties. Fourteen's resentment, that's out of Hong Qing's consideration.

"Uncle Fourteen, please have some tea."

There is no need to ask, Hong Qing also knows what the old fourteen is worried about, but he doesn't care, because Hong Qing can't make any concessions on this matter, if the old fourteen really wants to go his own way In other words, it is impossible to say, Hongqing can only try to destroy the danger of the balance of the court, and oppose the old fourteen's military strategy with all his strength. At this point, Hongqing didn't pay attention to the old fourteen's murmurs, and while making tea on her own, she waited indifferently for the old fourteen to give a reply, but she didn't expect that a pot of tea was ready, and the old fourteen Fourteen was still meditating there, but Hong Qing couldn't bear it anymore, so she poured a bowl of tea with her own hands, put it in front of Old Fourteen, and interrupted politely.

"Well, it's work."

The old fourteen obviously still couldn't make a decision, and he just subconsciously thanked Hong Qing for pouring tea, but he didn't touch the tea bowl at all. Instead, he reached out and rubbed his temples, and said solemnly: : "The matter of military training must be considered thoroughly, and it will be discussed again."

"Naturally, this is the internal affairs of the Ministry of War. Uncle Fourteen will do as he thinks he can train soldiers well. My nephew does not dare to speak out."

For such an important matter, the Fourteenth would definitely not dare to make a decision without discussing it with Ba Ye and others. Hong Qing knew this very well, so she wouldn't be confused at this time. It was just a haha, and it was regarded as putting the matter aside for the time being. At this moment, the old fourteen was in a hurry, and Hong Qing didn't intend to follow her.

"Forget it, I've had enough wine. I'm dizzy. Go back and sleep first. If there's anything to do, we'll discuss it later. Don't send it away. I'll go myself!"

Seeing that there was no way to negotiate a result, the old fourteen naturally didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up, stretched fiercely, left a word of courtesy, and left on his own.

"Brother Qing, what is that guy doing here?"

After Hongqing sent Old Fourteen out of the firm's gate, she didn't rush back to the Ministry of Works, but turned around and went into the secret room at the back of the account room. Just as she was about to come out from the blocking place, Old Sixteen rushed up to meet her. asked carelessly.

"Oh, I'm here to find out. In all likelihood, I'm here for Uncle Sixteen. It just so happened that my nephew was here, so I said I came to see my nephew, and I just talked about some things about armament consolidation. I want to see you. Uncle must have made a decision. Uncle Sixteen should go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice this time without hindrance, but there must be many ambushes after he goes. I also ask Uncle Sixteen not to go carelessly. Everything must be done carefully. superior."

Although the old fourteen didn't mention anything about the old sixteen's going to the Ministry of Industry, after several conversations, Hong Qing had already seen through his intentions. Because Liu was worried, he followed the question of Old Sixteen and reminded Old Sixteen again.

"Ah."

Hearing Hong Qing speak so cautiously, the old sixteen was deeply vigilant, the earlier indifference was gone on his face, replaced by a serious expression, but, not much The words, just whispered, but there was a burst of anger in the eyes...

"What? Let the old thirteen go to the army? Grandma is stupid, thanks to that bastard boy who can say it, this is absolutely impossible! The big deal is that the big guys will break up, and the weapons will not be updated. The masters will work together." Rejecting Old Sixteen's errand, let's see what that kid can do!"

Old Fourteen was originally ordered to find Old Sixteen to find out the truth, but he didn't expect to meet Hong Qing. After such a pull, what he talked about had nothing to do with Eighth Master's earlier confession. Even so, Lao Shi Fourteen didn't dare to make the decision on his own, so he left the "Kirin Firm" and hurried back to the Eighth Master's Mansion, explaining the negotiation with Hongqing in detail, the voice just now As soon as he fell, the grumpy Master Shi slapped the table and started cursing.

"Tenth brother, don't worry, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Jiu Ye has been looking forward to the stars and the moon for so many years, and finally he has come to his first day, how can he say let go so easily? I'm happy, but I don't want to care too much about the tenth master, so I have no choice but to explain it in a bad way, pressing on the tenth master's shoulder, trying to calm down the old ten's fuss.

"Hmph, this is absolutely unacceptable. Don't look at the old thirteen who doesn't care about things and pretends to be like a saint. In fact, he is one with that bastard Hong Qing. Let the old thirteen come to the army, thanks to that bastard It can be said, this is coaxing me to be a three-year-old child, grandma is a bear, want to organize the army? There is no way!"

Master Shi was on fire, no matter how Master Jiu felt, he waved his hand angrily, flicked Master Jiu's palm away, and scolded endlessly without hesitation.

"What is the plan of the fourteenth brother?"

Eighth Master ignored Tenth Master's roar, and frowned silently thinking. At the end, he still didn't express his opinion on this matter, but carefully threw the question to Old Fourteen.

"Brother Mingjian, my younger brother thinks that the matter of updating the military equipment is difficult. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, we will be completely passive. This point can be seen from the battle of Panjingxing today. What I worry about now is nothing more. There are two, one is how to avoid the old thirteen, and the other is that there must be a reason that the youngest can't object, if you can do both, then things will happen."

Ever since he came out of the "Kirin Firm", the old fourteen has been thinking about it all the way, and he has already made some calculations in his heart. At this moment, he heard the question from the eighth master, but he has nothing to hide, and he will explain the analysis results obtained out.

"Well, only these two are difficult. Does the fourteenth brother have any success?"

The Battle of Jingxing had just passed, and the result of the battle was Painful. Hearing the old fourteen mention it, the unhealed scar on his heart was uncovered again. It was really painful, and his expression instantly It was Yibai, but he didn't comment on the gains and losses, but continued to ask a question.

"Disaster!"

If there is a good way, the old fourteen could have reached an agreement with Hong Qing long ago, why bother to bring the question back, now that the old fourteen can only shake his head helplessly after hearing the question from the eighth master , uttered a word with bitterness on his face.

"Um……"

For the old fourteen's answer, Eighth Master was not surprised at all. Nothing else, Eighth Master himself couldn't think of an accurate idea. In desperation, he could only sigh along with him, and then put the His gaze turned to Lu Chunyan, and he asked expectantly, "Sir, how do you think about this matter?"

"Response? Hehe, why do I have to wait to deal with it? Since King Renjun also intends to promote firearms, let him have a headache. The Fourteenth Master just read this chapter and see how the other end responds. It is not too late to make a decision, as long as the left and right firearms can be promoted, it is a victory for us, as for the process, there is no need to worry too much."

All the elder brothers were frowning, but Lu Chunyan laughed, stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, and calmly pointed out the key to the matter.

"Hey, hey, Mr. is still right, it doesn't matter whether he organizes the army or not, as long as the gang of dogs below can get the guns!"

When Lu Chunyan said this, the old ten immediately became happy, grinned, and shouted happily.

"Well, what Mr. said is true, let's just do it."

Right now, Master Jiu only cares about whether he can get the governor of the central bank. As for the promotion of firearms, he doesn't care at all. Now, what Lu Chunyan said seems to be nothing wrong, so he is Hurry up and agree.

"That's right, Fourteenth Brother, do you think it can be done?"

Eighth Master obviously agreed with Lu Chunyan's proposition, but he didn't rush to make a decision, but asked the old fourteen again cautiously.

"Then let's try it first."

Lu Chunyan's suggestion is indeed the best policy from the perspective of the small group's interests, but for the old fourteenth, it is the next best policy, not for anything else, but because the original intention of the old fourteenth is to upgrade the military equipment To establish one's own prestige, but with Lu Chunyan's tampering, the intended purpose is obviously impossible to achieve. If Hong Qing or the old thirteen come up with a more secure renewal plan, then his old fourteen's face will be terrible. It's about to be completely thrown away, this is obviously not a situation that the old fourteen is happy to see, but the opinions of the three brothers have tended to agree, even if the old fourteen is not happy, there is nothing to do, he can only follow the expression very reluctantly It goes without saying that the grievance in my heart is uncomfortable...
