Chapter 444 The Hot Potato ([-])
The old man's will was made very quickly. On May 49, 21th year of Kangxi, the old man announced to the world that the thirteenth master will be the commander, and Sun Mingxu, the admiral of the Guangdong Navy, will send 1 troops. Dongying also ordered Dorobel Hongqing to participate in the military affairs, ordered the Ministry of Industry to arrange various military affairs, and ordered the Ministry of Households to mobilize food, fodder and supplies for military use, and ordered the Ministry of War to recruit [-] young and strong from the redundant staff of the Eight Banners to form a new army. Master practiced hard to prepare for battle.

On May 49th, 26th year of Kangxi, the board of directors of the "Eight Banners Company" made a resolution that all the children of the Eight Banners who participated in the Eastern Expedition had double monthly salaries, which would be paid by the development fund of the "Eight Banners Company". The redundant staff of the Eight Banners rejoiced, countless people signed up to join the army, nothing else, although the disciples of the Eight Banners are a little corrupt now, but not to the point of being unbearable, the blood is still not lacking, besides, I heard that the Ministry of Industry built After producing all kinds of sharp weapons, he was extremely eager for military exploits. It was only ten days before and after, and the required [-] soldiers had been fully reported. practice.

The reason why the new army is a new army, the drills are naturally different from the old-style army. Regarding this, Old Shisan is a little confused. Fortunately, Hong Qing understands a little bit. However, I am not too unfamiliar with the training of recruits, coupled with some miscellaneous information from the Internet in my previous life, I made up a random set, and finally came up with a set of new army training outlines, similar to the old thirteen After Haosheng discussed it for a few days, it was officially released.

Training has always been arduous, and it is obviously impossible to last for too long with blood alone. After all, the bannermen are used to being pampered. Although they do not practice martial arts less on weekdays, after all, they are just playing It was nothing more than a few strokes, but when it came to the training ground, within a few days, everyone was complaining, and even deserters appeared. Under the rage, the old thirteen took a heavy hand, chopped off a few heads, and punished another Criticizing those thorny heads who did not listen to the command, this can be regarded as turning around the laxity of the bannermen. After more than a month of practice, the new army has already taken some shape. It is still far away, not to mention other things, the delay in the arrival of weapons and equipment is the most troublesome matter for the old thirteen, there is no other way but to send Hong Qing, who has been training with the army for more than a month, back to the Ministry of Industry to supervise the weapons Matters related to manufacturing.

Weapon manufacturing is no small matter, even though Hongqing had already laid an ambush in the dark. The year before last, he established a steel factory in the western suburbs of the capital in the name of a manufacturing warehouse, and secretly trained many gun technicians. There is also a batch of guns and ammunition accumulated in the cannon warehouse, but what is needed is not only the equipment of [-] infantry, but also more than a thousand naval guns needed by [-] large and medium-sized warships. However, there is still no way to manufacture so many weapons in a short period of time. There is no other way, Hong Qing can only plan the overall situation by herself, either busy expanding the production scale, or busy arranging the cooperation of all parties. After three and a half months of hard work, everything was on the right track.

Busy, busy, it was late October in a blink of an eye, with the first batch of more than a thousand rifles and a lot of ammunition sent to the new army in Beigukou, Hongqing finally got a chance to breathe, and then If you want to deal with the backlog of problems, this first one is naturally intended to put a shackle on Hongli, so as to save this kid from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

"My little brother has seen Brother Qing."

Hongli came very quickly, Hongqing had just sent someone to invite him, and it was only time for a cup of tea. Hongli had already walked into Hongqing's office in a hurry, and when he saw Hongqing who was sitting at the head , immediately walked a few steps, then stood still reservedly, saluted and greeted humbly.

"Yo, Brother Li is here, this way please, sit down, sit down and talk."

Seeing that Hongli had arrived, Hongqing got up immediately, and with a smile let Hongli to the corner of the reception, and then called the guards under him to serve the freshly brewed fragrant tea.

"Brother Qing, you are too polite."

Ever since Hongqing failed in Suikeng last year and Hongqing ruthlessly cheated him, Hongli has learned to behave in an extremely low-key manner. Participation, whenever there is a discussion, it is often silent. As long as Hongqing is present, Hongli will always try to take a detour. If there is nothing else, it is just to prevent Hongqing from finding fault. Today is the Hongqing faction. If someone summons you, you can't hide from them. You can only be vigilant in your heart, and you are very cautious when speaking. Facing Hongqing's polite greetings, Hongli simply thanked him. , then shut his mouth tightly.

Hehe, is this kid very defensive? It's interesting!

Don't look at how Hongqing has been crushing Hongli all these years, as if he is his nemesis, but in fact, only Hongqing knows the shock. In fact, Hongqing has never underestimated Hongli. The attention is far higher than that of the fourth master, the eighth master, etc., not for other reasons, but because Hongqing knows very well that Hongli is a golden scale, and there is a possibility of turning into a dragon when encountering clouds and rain. No matter how important it is, in the past six months, although Hongqing has never asked about Hongli's actions on the surface, and seems to be indifferent to him, in fact, she has never relaxed her vigilance against him, and secretly set up A few small traps were set up to tempt and induce him to make mistakes again, but Hongli obviously learned his lesson and remained on the sidelines. He was blinded by Hongqing's several small calculations, and his fear of him inevitably deepened.

"Brother Li, it seems that you and I haven't been together for a long time. It's all because of brother. I've been busy all day. I really didn't care about brother Li. Brother, don't have any knots, and if there are any mistakes, it's all for brother to bear."

Political animals are all about inconsistency, and Hong Qing is obviously good at this point. Although she is extremely afraid of Hongli in her heart, the greetings that Ke utters are exceptionally warm.

"Brother Qing's words are wrong. My younger brother has been loved wrongly by Brother Qing. It is my luck to be able to do some practical things in the Ministry of Industry."

The more polite Hongqing is, the tighter the strings in Hongli's heart are. Nothing else, because Hongli really knows Hongqing's character too well, there must be an ambush behind the politeness, the more polite the better. So, when answering Hong Qing's words, she was cautious and careful, and after thinking about it for a while, she humbly thanked her.

"Well, brother Li is a talented person. After more than a year of experience in the Ministry of Industry, I think he has a good understanding of the various departments?"

Seeing that although Hongli's face was as calm as before, but the guard in his eyes was very strong, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, but it didn't bring it to his face, but continued to greet with the same smile road.

"I don't dare, my younger brother has indeed experienced a lot of office work, but when it comes to what he has gained, he is still insignificant. It is embarrassing to use, ashamed, ashamed."

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Hong Li's heartstrings immediately tightened again, and an ominous premonition surged up from the bottom of his heart uncontrollably, but it was impossible to guess Hong Qing's calculation for a while. , it can only be vaguely humble.

"Hey, Brother Li is too modest. Although there are many divisions and divisions in the Ministry of Industry, it is rare for him to be able to do anything. Now, the divisions and divisions are basically in the same position. That’s all for the manufacturing warehouse and the Dushui Cleaning Department. The former is related to military aircraft, and no one is allowed to enter without the emperor’s decree. As a brother, I want Li to help me a little bit, but it’s hard to do. As for the latter, But it’s just trivial things, as long as you are careful, there won’t be any mistakes, it’s fine if you don’t interfere, with this calculation, Brother Li should be able to take care of some things.”

Hong Qing waved her hand with a smile, and with the attitude of a superior person, she had a lot of talk, and finally she vaguely revealed that she wanted to put a burden on Hong Li.

"Brother Qing taught me a lesson, if it's something my little brother can do, I dare not quit."

After Hongqing's long speech, Hongli felt as if he had overturned the five-flavored bottle in his heart, and he had all kinds of tastes—he could even manage some things, and Hongqing firmly controlled the two core departments and divisions. In his hands, the rest is just chores, even if he manages it, he can manage it very well. Besides, the status of Hongli's assistant was given by the old man, and not rewarded by Hongqing. If it wasn't for the great difference in title, Originally, the status of the two parties should be equal, but now they are treated by Hongqing as subordinate. How can Hongli not be extremely annoyed, but there is also a trace of expectation in this kind of annoyance, after all, only the right to speak can have weight, If it is such an embarrassing status now, there are not many people in the Manchurian Ministry of Industry who really put Hongli in their eyes. The problem is that Hongqing obviously would not be so kind. After waiting for a while, he answered cautiously.

"Of course, this is beyond Lidi's reach. I dare not force it for my brother. Well, a few days ago, Qi Dazuo, the official secretary of Yu Hengqing, spoke very well of Lidi, saying that it was Lidi who was here. The performance of the Secretary is outstanding, and he is a great talent for helping the world. He is familiar with all kinds of affairs of the company and is able to handle it with ease. I am very relieved to hear this, so I would like to ask Brother Li to be in charge of the general Yu Hengqing's official department?"

Hongqing is like a skilled hunter, throwing baits one after another, and each one is really sweeter than the other. Even though Hongli can see something strange, he is not afraid that he will not take the bait. After that, a huge pie was brought to Hongli.

"Oh?"

Of course the pies are delicious. Hongli has been hungry for many years. Suddenly seeing these delicious and sweet pies falling from the sky, it is impossible to say that he is not tempted, but the ominous premonition is very strong in his heart. I really didn't know whether I should extend such a hand, I hesitated for a while, but I didn't make a decision.
