The Qing Dynasty

Chapter 291: Foreign officers are not cabbages
"Then I'd be very grateful."

Kanger smiled and said, "Teng, my friend, you might as well be more generous. In addition to Komura Jutaro and Resar who did not bring their families, including my wife, we have a total of six ladies. They also lost their carriages and horses for the same reason as me. If you only give horses to my wife, they will be jealous."

After receiving Teng Yuzhao's signal, Wei Jinghai, who had just arranged for his staff to call Li Xianze, hurriedly asked someone to go to the stable at the back to get the horse.

Teng Yuzhao's headquarters had hundreds of war horses and pack horses. The pack horses were used to transport various equipment and supplies for the headquarters, so having a few more or a few less would not be a problem.

Soon, soldiers brought six Mongolian horses and even equipped them with saddles. When Kangge was about to leave, Teng Yuzhao called him back.

"Kangge, my friend, please tell your wife that I can only keep your belongings for you temporarily. It is not convenient to return them to you now."

Kang Ge naturally understood what Teng Yuzao meant and said with a smile, "Yes, otherwise those people will come to you to ask for it. Among these ministers, I came the latest, so I naturally got the least benefits. Every one of them will become a millionaire after returning to their country."

"Especially the cunning Dou Nale. Your officials bribed him a lot. The property you seized from him is worth at least more than 100,000 US dollars."

After Kang Ge finished complaining about Dou Nale, he smiled and said to Teng Yuzao, "Teng, you must remember to pay me the interest."

Teng Yuzao nodded seriously and said, "Of course. I will consider giving you an interest rate between plus or minus 50% based on your performance."

The so-called watching Kanger's performance is very clear, that is, to see what Kanger can do and to what extent.
If he did a good job, Teng Yuzhao would not mind giving him more compensation, and it would be fine to call it a bribe. If the opposite was true, it would be a problem whether his property would be returned to him.

Dealing with Westerners is like this. They are very direct and realistic in everything. Don't say that he and Conger were only friends just now. Even if they were brothers and sisters, Westerners would be very clear about the differences in interests.

Kanger shrugged, "Okay, for my interest, I will also try my best to help you get more drugs."

"Also, I will immediately send your wonderful speech today, which was like a speech, and your friendship to the American people to the president. I think he will be very happy to see your evaluation of him."

After Kangge finished speaking, he said goodbye to Teng Yuzao, but he only took a few steps before stopping.

"Teng, my friend, you can understand four languages: English, German, Russian, and Japanese. You are also very knowledgeable and have a very thorough understanding of the world situation. In particular, your views on some issues are very unique. I dare say that there will be no one else like you in the entire Qing Dynasty. Can you tell me how you did it?"

In the conversation just now, Teng Yuzao did not use an interpreter. He only waited for the other party's entourage to translate after Bi Sheng spoke before he spoke. After others finished speaking, Teng Yuzao would react immediately.

Not only Kanger but everyone else could see from Teng Yuzao's performance that Teng Yuzao could understand these four languages.

As for the international situation, Teng Yuzhao had obtained it from the Internet and historical materials in his previous life, so he naturally could not explain it.

"Oh, my friend, it's easy for me because I'm very smart."

Teng Yuzao responded vaguely with a smile, but immediately said seriously, "Kanger, I wrote a book called "The Rise of Great Powers", which also involves your United States. You can take a look when you have time. It will surprise you even more." Kanger didn't quite believe that a general like Teng Yuzao could write a profound political book, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I will read it. I hope it is a very exciting book."

Conger suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "Oh, my friend, I will warn the commanders of our American army not to let their soldiers be too stubborn when fighting your army."

After saying this, Kangge waved his hand and turned to leave.

Conger was not the only one who understood the tenacity of the Japanese army; the other ministers also understood it. Teng Yuzao did not care about this as he was already thinking about something else.

While watching Kangge walk back to Dounale and other ministers, Teng Yuzao was thinking in his mind how to appease the leaders of the Boxer Rebellion.

It should be that Kangger told Dounale that he promised to release the American officers. Dounale seemed to want to come back to find Teng Yuzao, but he was rudely pushed away by a staff officer who accompanied Kangger to Li Xiance to collect the prisoners.

Teng Yuzhao found Dou Nale's appearance funny. Could it be that all the officers he captured were cabbages that anyone could take away by saying a few nice words?

"Xingfu."

Liu Shijiu shouted loudly, "Just now that old dog Yikuang was talking nonsense. Now the brothers of the Boxer Rebellion are all in a panic because of this old dog. You have to give an explanation!"

Just as Teng Yuzhao was thinking about how to appease these Boxer leaders, Liu Shijiu's loud voice interrupted his thoughts.

Liu Shijiu's loud voice was obviously a reminder for him to give an explanation to these people and eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible, otherwise these people might cause trouble.

At the same time, Liu Shijiu was also telling the Boxer leaders to calm down for the time being. At least Teng Yuzao didn't know or understand what Yikuang said.

If someone else had said these words, it would have been difficult to convince the Boxer leaders. But when Liu Jiujiu said them, it was completely different because his identity was somewhat special.

Not only was Liu Shijiu once a well-known leader of the Boxer Rebellion, he was also a sworn brother of the president Teng Yuzao, and the only person who could call Teng Yuzao his brother.

Moreover, Liu Shijiu not only led them to capture the embassy district that they had besieged for two or three months, but he also dared to curse the iron-hat king Yikuang in person, beat up Yikuang's entourage and servants, and smashed Yikuang's sedan chair. For such a big thing, Teng Yuzhao did not blame him at all, and even did not hesitate to offend Yikuang. This shows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

With so many reasons, they naturally preferred to believe Liu Jiujiu's words. If Liu Jiujiu didn't know what the decree was, then it meant that Teng Yuzao really didn't know what the decree was, or at least Teng Yuzao hadn't seen it yet.

Moreover, Liu Jiujiu was from the Boxer Rebellion after all. If anything really happened, Liu Jiujiu would have enough influence to help him and say some good words.
