Part Two, Chapter Ten, One Love (2 more)

Chen Congyun was so enchanting that Princess Yuxiu thought Chen Congyun was indignant when she saw it. If she had made such a great contribution, she should have been appointed as a governor, but she was sent to the barbaric land in Vietnam. Yuxiu didn't know how far Vietnam was, but it was said in the book that Vietnam was called Annan, which was the so-called barbaric land all over the land.

Putting it in Vietnam is equivalent to exile.

"Or, I'll beg the Queen Mother, don't let you go to Vietnam?" Princess Yuxiu got into a state of state. Isn't it all the way in the plays? When Xue Rengui was in trouble, Wang Baochuan, Yang Silang was in trouble, and when he was in trouble, he met the princess of the Liao Kingdom. Now Shen Congyun is in trouble. Didn't he meet with Princess Jiuyuxiu?

No! I just like Vietnam! What do you know, you girl movies? Vietnam is good. The Mekong Delta is rich in high-quality rice, and the rich iron ore is hidden all over the country. There are a large number of coal mines, various non-ferrous metals, and enough coastline to make seaports. You can transport troops from China at any time.

"The princess is in love, and Chen Congyun is grateful. The empress dowager has a lot of fun every day, so you need to trouble her. Vietnam is Vietnam. It just so happens that the French are unscrupulous about Vietnamese thieves. Maybe they can make achievements in Vietnam." Chen Congyun quickly asked Princess Yuxiu to give up his thoughts, and he was joking. He worked hard to fight a war in Vietnam. He just fell in love with this place in Vietnam and wanted to be a local emperor.

Nine years, nine years left! Nine years left before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, I have enough time to train a strong soldier. Once the world changes, the court will naturally think of me.

"There is no need to be grateful. It's getting late, so it's time for me to go back." Yuxiu came out secretly, but she didn't dare to stay for too long. She felt that seeing the real side of Chen Congyun, the two sides had a frank and spiritual exchange. This trip was not in vain, right? The future is long.

Chen Congyun smiled and reached out to stop Princess Yuxiu and said, "Prince wait a moment, I'll come." After that, Chen Congyun went out and came back in a while. He had a finely crafted mahogany box on his hand.

"What is this?" Yuxiu guessed that she wanted to give it to her, so she couldn't help but be so careful. She was going to send a token of love? It's developing too fast, right?

"Haha, a gadget, made by the King of Vietnam, I respect the princess."

Yuxiu took the box and was about to open it to see it. Chen Congyun smiled and said, "Let's take a look again when you go back."

Princess Yuxiu was filled with joy and glanced at Chen Congyun and said, "What's the matter like this?"

"You will know when you go back and see it!"

After taking the box, Yuxiu said goodbye and left the door. Chen Congyun sent it to the door. Not far away, a sedan chair brought by Yuxiu was waiting.

Saying Yuxiu away, Chen Congyun rushed into the bedroom with great strides, pulled open the quilt and covered his head, and laughed loudly in the quilt. Grandma! Finally got what he wanted most. The ecstasy in his heart, Chen Congyun was filled with tears in his face.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Sheng Xiaoqi accompanied the people from the inn to drink. After drinking for a while, Chen Congyun couldn't let go, so he threw away enough money and said that no one could serve Chen Congyun, so he ran back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Congyun's head covered with a quilt, lying on the bed and trembling all over. He was so scared that he shouted loudly.

"Huh!" Chen Congyun wiped away his tears, lifted the quilt and sat up.

"It's okay, I'm very good. Go and order a table of good food in the restaurant. The master is happy and I'll have a good drink tonight."

Holding the mahogany box, Princess Yuxiu got out of the sedan chair and slipped back to the boudoir through the side door.

"Go, show me the door tightly, no one is allowed to come in." He ordered the maid who was close to him, and Princess Yuxiu came to the dressing table with the box. What is this place?

With a nervous mood, Yu Xiu slowly pushed open the box, and a blue and crystal clear jade carving Guanyin appeared in the box. Guanyin was made of the best Burmese jade, carved by the best Vietnamese master. The whole jade Guanyin was emerald green, and there was a faint fluorescent light under the sun. This was originally a private treasure of the Queen of Vietnam. The King of Vietnam was so nervous that Chen Congyun was chasing debts. He took this out to pay for some debt. The King of Vietnam originally planned to use this jade carving to pay 500,000 taels of silver, but Chen Congyun didn't know the goods and shamelessly took the jade carving as interest. Chen Congyun accidentally got Yu Xiu's benefits and decided to express it reluctantly, so he handed it over to Guanyin who was planning to play with Qingxian and Yu Fei to Princess Yu Xiu.

Yuxiu was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. She has never seen any good things before. Naturally, she can see the value of this jade carving at a glance. Regardless of the craftsmanship of this jade carving, just talking about the height of 20 cm, a piece of jade of such a pure quality can be sold for 500,000 taels on the world.

"He actually gave me such a valuable thing? This is a priceless treasure!" Yu Xiu's eyes turned red with excitement, and tears fell. No wonder he asked me to come back to see it, but it turned out that he was afraid that I would not accept it.

Princess Yuxiu was very wrong. Chen Congyun's trick was a trick to deal with girls in the past. He gave some gadgets and was covered with a mysterious color. If Chen Congyun knew that the jade carving was worth at least 500,000 taels of silver, he would give it to someone and would vomit several liters of blood on the spot and die.

Princess Yuxiu's heart changed, and Chen Congyun could not even think of it. What the court had planned now is already known. Chen Congyun was in a great mood. In the evening, he ordered Li Yaozu to find Tang Shaoyi back. Now that the matter of winning over Li Lianying can be put aside, and there are other things that need Tang Shaoyi to do.

Chen Congyun wrote a letter to Li Hongzhang overnight and sorted out a general negotiation outline. According to Chen Congyun's meaning, there was nothing to be polite with the French. In this place of Vietnam, the French should not count on it. The French would also have to pay compensation and abolish the previous unequal treaties.

Chen Congyun also knew that his thoughts were somewhat wishful thinking, and the French would definitely not agree, and Li Hongzhang did not have the courage. Chen Congyun judged that the best result in the end was that the French could helplessly give up Vietnam. It was impossible to abolish the previous treaty with China. On this issue, Britain, the United States and Germany also supported France for their own interests. Negotiations were like doing business, one party asked for a lot of prices, the other party paid back the money, and opened his mouth wide, which was not harmful.

Tang Shaoyi came back overnight. Chen Congyun met Tang Shaoyi in the study and threw away an envelope of silver notes and a list of personnel.

Zhan Tianyou, Wu Yangzeng, etc. As long as Chen Congyun knew about it, he had not yet made any appearance, he would catch them all. Chen Congyun gave a death order, even if he was kidnapped, he would tie these people to Vietnam.

Zheng Guanying set out early the next morning, and he was busy with these things.

Two days later, Yu Xiu, with a smile on his face, came to the door again. When he met, he told Chen Congyun that she had understood everything. Feng Zicai was appointed as the admiral of Yunnan and was awarded the title of Minister of War, and was awarded the title of Prince Shaobao. Su Yuanchun's army had outstanding military achievements throughout the entire battle, and was still the admiral of Guangxi, the youngest prince, and the second-class light chariot supervisor. Yang Yuke returned to Gaozhou to recuperate and continued to be his general, and also got a second-class light chariot supervisor.

As for Chen Congyun's arrangements, he also issued the title of Minister of War, and the General Office of the Imperial Office of the Imperial Office in Vietnam, the new military affairs was the new governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Chen Congyun thought in his mind that if the territory that Vietnam could be ceded to France could be brought over to the negotiation table and set up an Annan Province, Chen Congyun would have an excuse to blatantly make money.

Seeing that Yuxiu was very capable, Chen Congyun had the idea of ​​Yuxiu and smiled at Yuxiu, "The princess is intent, and Chen Congyun will definitely repay him in the future. There is another thing, I want to ask the princess."

"Tell me, what's the matter? This princess can do it, but it will definitely refuse. If you can't do it, I'll find a way to do it." As he said, Yu Xiu looked at Chen Congyun shyly, and Chen Congyun's heart trembled. Why is this familiar look? This is how Qingxian and Yu Ping saw him coming?

Chen Congyun didn't know about Prince Yuxiu's wishful thinking. She had something to ask for, and chose to ignore Prince Yuxiu's affectionate gaze.

What did Chen Congyun ask Princess Yuxiu to do? To put it bluntly, one is the salary and the other is the official position.

"Can the princess help me tell the Queen Mother? Chen Congyun doesn't want to be the Chief General Officer of the New Army, and wants to go home to do some small business." Chen Congyun looked painful, Yu Xiu looked at him with a moment of surprise and said, "Why is this?"

Chen Congyun's brows tightened, and showed an expression of grief and anger, saying, "The General Office of the New Army of the Imperial Army, the name is very nice, it is actually a hollow big radish. When is the training of troops? Where is the transfer? What should I get for training without the money? To put it bluntly, what is the short imperial envoy title, with no real power at all. In this way, there is a mother-in-law above me. When I arrived in that place in Vietnam, what would I use to train troops? Also, there seems to be no clear statement about the scale of the new army. I just sent me to Vietnam, so I might as well go home and be quiet."
