Chapter 209: The Banquet
"Bandit Army? That's great, I'm actually a bandit army. We are a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, we are all a family, so we don't need to fight. Yang Yiquan said with a sigh of relief.
"What?"
After listening to Yang Yiquan's words, Hong Xiguan and Lin Yiyou shouted out in disbelief.
"You said you were also a bandit army? Is there any proof that there is not? Hong Xiguan asked first.
"Yiquan, when are we going to be a bandit army again?" Deng Xuanyuan quietly approached Yang Yiquan's side and asked in a low voice.
"Big brother, second brother, and everyone present. Everyone is not in a hurry, listen to me slowly first. ”
Yang Yiquan arched his hand to the people present and said slowly:
"Actually, as early as last month, the shadow brothers of the bandit army approached me. Under their persuasion, I joined the bandits. I am now attached to the General Staff of the Bandit Army under the number CM665. ”
"Brother Hong, is what he said true?" Fang Shiyu listened to Yang Yiquan's words, and he couldn't tell whether it was true or not, so he had to come to Hong Xiguan's side and ask in a whisper.
"I don't know, but I can tell the number, I guess it's true!" Hong Xiguan couldn't judge the truth of what Yang Yiquan said for the time being, and could only answer in doubt.
"Is there a token?" Hong Xiguan asked Yang Yiquan.
"Yes, you wait!" As he spoke, Yang Yiquan took out a small iron plate from his clothes and handed it over.
Hong Xiguan took the small iron plate handed over by Yang Yiquan and looked at it, and it was stamped with a steel seal: Yang Yiquan, CM665, loyal and brave.
Hong Xiguan asked some more questions related to the bandit army, and Yang Yiquan was also right. In this way, Hong Xiguan is not suspicious of it.
After Yang Yiquan and Lin Yiyou had another ideological work, Lin Yiyou had no choice but to accept this fact and chose to join the bandit army.
Lin Yiyu's addition advanced the attack time of the Bandit Army's water division.
When the water division of the bandit army attacked this camp, it was discovered that the senior level of the Qing army's Fujian Sanjiangkou Eight Banners Water Division was not in this camp.
It turned out that Admiral Yang Yanting originally thought that the recent war situation had been unsmooth, so he summoned the leaders to a small meeting in the county town not far away to discuss how to deal with the recent aggressive bandit army and sailors. By the way, I invited the generals to eat and drink in the restaurant in the county to win over the hearts of the people.
But I didn't want to, just for such a short period of time, I ran into the bandit army sailor coming to attack the camp.
In fact, if the bandit suppression army had attacked the camp of the water division at the mouth of the three rivers, it would not have been able to capture it for a while. This will also give some time for the generals in the county to react.
However, due to the assistance of Lin Yiyou and other people in the green battalion, when the bandit army attacked the mouth of the water division's camp, the Qing army here had not yet reacted.
Even, many of the Eight Banners soldiers who hid aside to drink and gamble were also caught by the attacking bandit army.
Fuzhou, Changle County, Xiangmanlou.
The Admiral of the Navy Master wants to feast the generals here, and the shopkeeper of the Xiangmanlou can only invite other diners away.
As for whether he loses money or not, where is this where a small shopkeeper dares to complain. As long as you can serve this official well and don't make trouble for yourself, you will be thankful.
At this time, Yang Yanting was sitting on the chairman's seat in the wing room on the second floor. He took the wine glass in his hand and persuaded the generals to drink.
On the dinner table, there are all kinds of exquisite dishes.
All kinds of meat are available, the wine is fragrant, and the atmosphere is happy.
"Shopkeeper, your meat is well cooked, it's delicious, what kind of meat does it come from?" The chief soldier of the sailor worships the capital. Ah Ge asked Ma Xixin, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou, who had just come in to serve the food.
"Lord Hui, this is donkey meat. As the saying goes, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground. It is carefully stewed by our chef, so it is also one of our specialties. Ma Xixin explained with a smile on the side.
"Squeak..."
Baidu. Ah Ge took a deep breath of fragrant white wine in a small wine glass, and then said with a strong smell of wine: "Donkey meat! Well, that's good, I'll pack an extra one later. I'll have to take it home and try it again! ”
"Yes, the villain will give the order." Ma Xixin nodded and replied, and then retreated.
Looking at Ma Xixin's appearance, Bai Du. How Ag looked at it and rejoiced.
"This is what my people in the Qing Dynasty should look like, if you don't know how to understand the court, the untouchables who will rebel should be killed." Baidu. Ag said in his heart.
"Chief Baidu, do you have any good ideas about the current situation?" Yang Yanting put down his wine glass and looked at Baidu. Ag asked.
I saw Baidu. Ah Ge also put down the wine glass in his hand, and then said to Yang Yanting: "Back to Lord Admiral, most of my Sanjiangkou warships have been consumed by the thieves at present. It is already very good to be able to defend against the attack of the anti-thief, as for the counterattack, the only way to contact Zhejiang and Taiwan is to encircle the three parties at that time, and then to catch the anti-thief by surprise. ”
"Hmm... Not bad. When Yang Yanting heard this, he couldn't help but stroke the beard on his chin, and praised with a smile.
Yang Yanting's attitude made Bai Du. Ah Ge was very happy, and then continued: "Now, the anti-thief sailor is also very arrogant. I heard that they are still building ships, and I think that we should also ask the imperial court for more silver to build more warships to resist the thieves. ”
"Hmm..."Yang Yanting nodded again.
At the same time, Baidu. Ag's words were echoed by the generals present. There are even people who can't sit still, and they show off their pitiful ink.
"The chief soldier of Baidu is indeed right, only when the warship keeps up can he fight the thief." Yang Yanting also echoed and said.
"So be it! After a while, we will all sign the petition, how about it? Yang Yanting looked around at the generals present and asked.
"This nature..."
"The Admiral is right, the soldiers below are not afraid of death, but if there is no warship, they are just going to die..."
"Yes, there are warships, where will those thieves be the opponents of my Qing soldiers?"
……
At the banquet, more than a dozen generals spoke out in support of Yang Yanting.
In today's war-torn and eventful times, who would think that they have more soldiers and more ships? It's best if you can pacify the thieves, it's really unsettled, and if you take your warship over to vote for them, you can also get a better position, right?
Everyone was careful to think about it, and Yang Yanting naturally understood. However, no one thinks that their strength has become stronger, since the pacification of Taiwan, this sailor has no longer been valued by the imperial court, and now the arrival of the thief is also a chance for the sailor to redevelop.
At the same time, Yang Yanting looked down on the bandit army in his heart. Although they are now in power for a while, as long as the imperial court sailors are still there, it is only a matter of time before they fail.
