Chapter 253: Transaction
"Lu Zhizhou is here." Gao Shilai, who was guarding the outer room, came to report that "I have already toured the beach, seen the corpses and heads of pirates, and now I am writing a recital." β
The fold was handed straight into the theater, passing through the two mansions to the front of the Son of Heaven.
The public servant reported to the pacification envoy of the road, and Xu Zixian had to report to the metropolitan governor's mansion in addition to reporting to the pacification envoy.
At the same time, it will report to the Sentencing Envoy and the Patrol Envoy, including Yang Shiwei, the prefect of Fuzhou.
Lu Wenxian was already sitting next to a pile of rubbers, someone found a table that had not been burned, found a stool and asked the Lord Zhijunzhou to sit, and then spread the paper and pen, Lu Wenxian was biting the pen in a daze.
Seeing Xu Zi coming over first, Lu Wenxian hurriedly got up, the two sides glanced at each other first, and then laughed together.
They are all red-robed officers, Xu Zixian would be a purple-robed officer if he was dressed according to his title, there were several scratches on the faces of the two, and there were also scars from shrubs and gravel everywhere on their necks and hands, although it was not as ugly and heroic as the flesh and blood, but it still made people feel a little embarrassed at first glance.
As for the robes on their bodies, they were torn in many places, if it wasn't on the battlefield but in Fuzhou City, the patrol envoy Xiao Zan would definitely impeach these two people because they were officials.
"It's really embarrassing." Lu Wenxian said: "When I climb down, I feel as small as a bean, and the mountain seems to be thousands of miles away, and I can't get down at all, if I don't see that there are thousands of soldiers already under the valley, it is really difficult for this official to make up his mind to climb over." β
A staff member beside Lu Wenxian sighed: "I and Lord Zhizhou climbed during the day, still trembling, cautious, I didn't dare to think about what it was like for the army to crawl over in the middle of the night. β
"In the battle last night, more than 100 soldiers and horses from Sanzhai in Qizhou were killed." Xu Zixian said: "There are dozens of seriously injured people and hundreds of lightly injured people, of course, victory is not easy to come by." β
Lu Wenxian nodded again and again, and said a few words of comfort, the officials of Great Wei are not stupid, so they naturally know what kind of words to say at this time.
"This big victory, the pattern of Fujian Road is about to change." Lu Wenxian said tentatively: "I'm afraid that the prince is going to be promoted?" β
"Don't dare." Xu Zixian said lightly: "Fang Zhiqizhou has been in office for less than two months, even if he has made great contributions, he doesn't dare to hope too much, Qizhou has been poisoned by Chen Yutai and others for a long time, if I can, I want to stay in the port for a period of time, wait for the coastal defense to be restored, and the port will normally accept passing merchant ships, and then go back to Sanzhai at that time." β
"This is a matter within the duties of the defense envoy, and the prince does not need to consult his own officials." Lu Wenxian heard the song and was elegant, knowing that the reason why Xu Zixian didn't care about the credit was that he didn't want to be promoted at this time, the place in Qizhou was important, and Nan'anhou seemed to want to consolidate the foundation in Qizhou, for a foreign civil official like Lu Wenxian, this kind of struggle for power and profit was not related to him, and he naturally agreed to it at the moment.
However, Lu Wenxian still wanted to repay the favor, and said at the moment: "When I went to the public court, this official would say that Qizhou Port was still unstable here, and if you want to build a village here, it will be called Qizhou Port Village, and the defense envoy will personally lead the troops to guard it, I don't know if it is a big deal?" β
Xu Zixian smiled and said: "This is within the scope of Lord Zhizhou's duties, how dare the lower officials say anything?" β
β¦β¦
In the evening, the two ships Fu 1 and Fu 2 rushed over from Nan'an, and in a hurry, the ships could be put for dozens of miles in a few hours, Xu Zixian was also quite satisfied with the efficiency and response of the two ships, and there was no way to find fault more.
There has been a marked increase in the number of boats on the sea at the mouth of the sea and on the river upstream, and a large number of fishing boats and merchant ships, large and small, have slowly begun to gather in the periphery.
Out of vigilance and caution for Chen Yutai's prestige, these ships have been cruising in the distance, presumably planning to escape at the slightest mistake.
But when Fu 1 and Fu 2 entered the port, and the ships on the periphery saw Fu 2 carrying the corpses of the soldiers killed in battle and the seriously wounded away, they were completely sure that the port where the pirates had been entrenched for many years had returned to the rule of the Great Wei court, and Chen Yutai had been exterminated!
By the time it was dark, several ships sent by the Fuzhou side confirmed this view, and the most cautious people could not but admit that the rumors of a miracle in front of them were completely true.
The ships coming from Fuzhou were mainly used to transport the decapitated pirate heads, including Chen Yutai's, of course.
"It's him, it's him!"
"My second brother died in the time when Chen Yutai committed Zhangzhou, when I hid in the ditch and escaped with my life, even if I die, I can't forget that day, I can't forget the situation at that time."
"My third uncle's family all died in the tragedy in Zhangzhou."
"Even if he's right, there are a few big bosses, and I also recognize them."
Fuzhou is to pacify the envoy and the punishment envoy sent some old officials who have accumulated years to come, and the patrol envoy also sent people.
Before dark, Yang Shiwei of Dafu personally rushed over by boat, Qizhou set up upper, middle and lower three villages, thousands of Xiang troops were stationed, there were several river defense battalions on the opposite bank, and dozens of battalions of the Xiang army in Zhangzhou and Fuzhou were all in order to guard against Chen Yutai and his subordinates, and the military and political dignitaries in Fuzhou were most worried about what Chen Yutai would cause a big mess every day.
During the First World War on the river beach last year, King Qi, King Zhao, and many other dignitaries rushed to the city in the middle of the night and stood in the cold wind for half a night, just because there were fires and shouts of killing in the area of Houguan County, and many dignitaries were worried that it would threaten the safety of Fuzhou.
Then there was the attack on the Xinghua Army this year, and the imperial court was also furious, although it was known that Chen Yutai was ill, and the two governments did not punish anyone for this, but the dissatisfaction of the imperial court was also quite obvious.
It can be said that Chen Yutai is the heaviest heart disease of the Fujian Road bigwigs, although the five pirates at sea also have a threat, but it will take a long time for this threat to become a reality, maybe one or two years, or even three or four years.
After such a long period of time, it is likely that a certain senior has been successfully transferred and left, and the threat of the five thieves has nothing to do with it.
What worries Lin Douyao, Zheng Liqi, Yang Shiwei and others the most is this Chen Yutai, and for half of Fujian Road, including Fuzhou, Chen Yutai's threats are like maggots attached to the bones, making them difficult to sleep.
"It's inconvenient for Lord Lin and Lord Zheng to come directly...... "Yang Shiwei sat next to the bonfire, the place was simple, it was not suitable to sail after dark, and tonight he could only live on a deserted island that was almost razed to the ground.
Yang Shiwei didn't care about this, he looked at Xu Zixian, and said in a deep voice: "Mingda, you have been doing one thing for more than half a year, and the old man is so tired that he runs once, but every time he runs, the old man doesn't feel tired, he just feels extremely happy." β
Xu Zixian smiled and said, "Dafu is really a prize." β
"This time, you have eliminated the old and weak army and driven away many officers, and everyone thinks that you are fighting for power and profit, consolidating the territory of Qizhou, including the old man, who also thinks the same." Yang Shiwei said: "Only now do I know that we are all wrong, they are really shallow and ridiculous, and so is the old man." β
Yang Shiwei pondered: "The Xiang army seems to be rotten to the root, and there will be a lot of use of force in the future, Mingda, do you intend to arrest the entire Fuzhou Xiang army, eliminate the old and weak, persuade the retreat to get rid of the slippery, tired and useless, and clear the unqualified military attachΓ©...... Fuzhou has two battalions of city defense, a battalion of the Punishment Envoy Division, and three battalions of the Jiang Defense, and the Xiang Army is similar to the forbidden army in the name of city defense and river defense, and the actual number is even more, more than 13,000 people. β
Xu Zixian smiled and said: "Dafu has won the award, my ability is not so strong, and if I want to promote the Fuzhou Xiang Army, it is not in line with the name, and it is difficult to start." β
"The great contribution made by Mingda this time is enough to serve as an observer of Fujian Road, and other old men in military states don't know, but the Xiang army of Fuzhou Prefecture is at Mingda's disposal arrangement, and in terms of money and food, the government is also trying to supply it, which is the same as the Nan'an regimental training." Yang Shiwei said: "I want to be upright, but I'm afraid of messing up Mingda's own position, I don't know what Mingda thinks?" β
Xu Zixian felt a little contradictory in his heart, and also laughed at his shallowness.
Until then, he had been planning to train troops in Nan'an and Qizhou in the Eastern Domain, but now it seems that he has ignored the practical benefits of the change in status and the increase in prestige.
Not only did King Qi intend to hand over the whole road to him and promote the reform of the Fujian Xiang Army, but so did Yang Shiwei in front of him.
Thinking that Lin Douyao will not object, Zheng Liqi will also fully support, if any of the envoys have the power to train and organize the whole army, although it cannot be dispatched, but with the support of Yang Shiwei, it seems that it is not too difficult to grasp the more than 10,000 Xiang troops in Fuzhou.
"First and foremost, it is the support of the Metropolitan Governor's Office." Xu Zi thought for a while and said, "Here in Qizhou, you can't get out for the time being, and please stay in the mansion for a while." β
"Good, good."
Xu Zixian's attitude shows that he has agreed, Yang Shiwei is of course very pleased, although he is only in his fifties and less than sixty years old, but his hair is white, he has been in Fuzhou for many years, and has been working hard for local affairs.
"Mingda, you are about to move the world again......" Yang Shiwei looked at everything in front of him, the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle had been taken away, and the seriously injured soldiers were also taken care of by the military doctor and returned to Nan'an for treatment, leaving only the soldiers who were slightly injured and had been treated, but no matter what, he could still see the tragedy and bloodiness of the battlefield at that time.
The most shocking thing is, of course, the place where the head is placed.
1,673 heads, neatly stacked on the dock, were loaded one by one by the ship from Fuzhou, and in the process of loading, more than one sailor had already run to the side of the ship and vomited.
"More than 300 people ran." Xu Zixian said: "It is very likely that they ran away to Penghu and the Eastern Domain, so the Nan'an Regiment Lianshui Battalion must always be vigilant to prevent the remnants of these pirates from causing trouble." β
"In the middle of the war, it is rare to be able to reach such a point." Yang Shiwei said casually: "Mingda is the number one general in Fujian who can fight now, and the defense of Penghu and the Eastern Domain, of course, you have to worry about it, I don't think even Lord Xiao will say anything." Even if someone says something, no one will pay attention. β
Yang Shiwei smiled again: "Besides, if the Eastern Domain and others know your feudal land, although my Great Wei Sect does not have the saying of real land and feudal domain, but there are so many lands and people on the Eastern Domain, and it is said that it is divided for you, but it cannot be said that it is wrong." β
"I can only take care of my own affairs."
"That's exactly what it is, that's how it should be."
