Chapter 118 Celebration (Ask for Recommendation Votes and Collect)
A few days later, Xie Baoqing and others in Miyun were sure that the Qing army had retreated, and Dong Yongwen led the army to protect them, and returned to Beijing with some prisoners and Azig. The first stop came to the starting point city, because Wang Yue contacted Zhang Jicheng through the walkie-talkie and said that Abatai had been caught, so Xie Baoqing came to lead people.
"Sihua's army is invincible, Jiannu has been headed, and the rebellion of the Beijing division has been quelled. I have sent the report of the battle of the starting point city to the military department, come with me to Beijing! Xie Baoqing said with a smile on his face.
Wang Yue said solemnly: "My lord, I was under your leadership and command, and I was repeatedly defeated by Jiannu. I can only train to fight, and it's all up to you to strategize or something, so you can go and report the victory. ”
He didn't want to get involved in the court, he was very busy, and he had to farm. Besides, with Wang Yue's level, Chongzhen may not necessarily see him, and he doesn't want to be a kowtow worm.
"I'm strategizing? With your soldiers, do you still need to strategize? Xie Baoqing listened to his words, and was a little crying and laughing.
He then asked, "Why do you always give credit to others?" ”
Wang Yue smiled and said: "My lord, I, Wang Sihua, have no foundation in the court, and the water in the court is so deep, I don't understand anything." This time, the merit of Pingping Jiannu is too great, and he will be hated by people for rising too quickly, so I ask the adults to make it difficult. ”
Xie Baoqing sounded like this, this Wang Sihua was young and had been in Beijing for a short time, so he did have such concerns.
"Alas, I deserve it!" Xie Baoqing said politely.
"How can you say that you deserve it? I'm here for your subordinate Wanping group practice, isn't the credit of Wanping group training your credit? I will expect more from adults in the future! Wang Yue hugged his fists and said.
Xie Baoqing said in his heart: I also taught, you even dare to tease the father-in-law in the palace, can you still listen to me?
However, Wang Yue's respect for him, he also saw it. At least it shows that Wang Yue is not arrogant, and there is still hope for salvation.
Wang Yue is a grateful person, and he was able to gain a foothold here, thanks to Xie Baoqing's appeasement attitude. And this Xie Baoqing has a good official reputation, although he is a little greedy for money. So what? There are more officials in our Great Celestial Dynasty who are greedy for money, and Wang Yue can understand.
"Sihua, in this Jingshi Rebellion, you have exterminated so many Jiannu, which is unprecedented since the war between our dynasty and Jiannu. The emperor has been looking forward to pacifying Liaodong for a long time, and maybe he will ask you to lead troops to attack Liaodong, so you must be mentally prepared. Xie Baoqing looked at Wang Yue's face and said.
Wang Yue knows that there is this possibility, who told you to be so capable of fighting?
"Lord Xie, our army uses all firearms, and the source is also difficult, especially lead! In this rebellion of the Pingjing Division, the lead was almost exhausted, and it would take at least a year to accumulate enough for a campaign. It is precisely because of this that it is difficult to increase the strength of troops, and the remote territory of Liaodong is vast, and our two or three thousand troops cannot play a big role. ”
The main reason is that he doesn't have so much energy to level Liaodong now, and his own foundation has not been laid yet, how can he leave for a long time? Even if he was desperate to pacify the Manchu Qing and let the Ming people govern it, it is estimated that there will be more people who starve to death than the Manchu Qing Dynasty who have nothing to do and kill and play. It's called thankless!
"Then I'm very embarrassed, if the emperor asks for this, how to deal with it?" Xie Baoqing said worriedly.
Wang Yue said with a smile: "Let the emperor give me a year to train my troops, hoard enough fire guns and lead, and Liaodong will be peaceful!" Hasn't Jiannu existed for a day or two, isn't it a year or two? ”
A year or two later, his own Type 95 Guards Division and the 56 Chong Army were completed, and perhaps in less than a year, he should lay out Liaodong.
Xie Baoqing also knew that those guns were very precise when he looked at them, and it was indeed not easy to make such guns. But he still doesn't believe what Wang Yue said that the lead is not enough, if the lead is not enough, can he fight it as if he doesn't need money? But he didn't bother to ask more, and it was probably a secret.
After chatting about something else, Wang Yue said mysteriously: "Master Xie, I want to ask you something." ”
Xie Baoqing said curiously: "You Wang Sihua have always been straightforward, you can say anything you have." ”
Wang Yue said embarrassedly: "I want you to help me be a matchmaker." ”
As soon as he mentioned being a matchmaker, Xie Baoqing knew what was going on. Wang Yue and Zhang Ziyun's little things, he couldn't stand it anymore, and his concept couldn't accept it.
He said with a straight face: "Hmph, it should have been like this a long time ago!" Then he frowned and said, "I'm going to propose, it doesn't seem to be enough, right?" Besides, the gap between your status and status is not small! ”
Wang Yueman said indifferently: "The last two great victories should also be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and your official position should be promoted by one level, why is it not enough?" You just have to mention it to the British public, and I will do the rest of the work. ”
"Okay, I'll do my best." Xie Baoqing felt that he was just proposing marriage, and it had nothing to do with him whether it was successful or not.
"Master Xie, we're done talking. I prepared a table of wine in the humble house, and I hope to enjoy it. Wang Yue said with a smile.
"Well, your food here is to my liking. I didn't expect it! The Jingshi rebellion actually made us pacify, and it was time to drink two glasses of celebration wine. Xie Baoqing said happily.
Wang Yue's family is now not only a nanny for Zheng Chunmei, she is now a housekeeper, managing more than a dozen maids. The reason why they are called servants is because Wang Yue did not ask for their identity deeds, but signed an employment contract. In order to adapt to the times, the employment contract is of course not so equal, but it is much more humane than the identity contract.
Since Li Xiufang won a meritorious name from Wang Yue and was named a six-rank official, she is overjoyed almost every day. This is her hope for more than ten years ago, and now it has been realized, can you not be happy? So she felt that this was more glorious than the starting point of the city lord and the general soldier of the regimental training.
I heard that the family is going to be a guest at home today, so I am very energetic inside and out. She felt that she was also an official eunuch, so she had to look like an official eunuch. Although the new house has not yet been built, then pay attention to the food. She couldn't figure it out, why did the second son build such a big house?
There are only a few people in our family, isn't it over to make a courtyard? Is there such an exaggeration in a yard as big as fifty acres? It's all already covered, what else can she say.
Although Xie Baoqing has been to the starting point city, it is the first time he has come to Wang Yue's house as a guest.
"I've seen Lord Xie!" Li Xiufang made a standard Wanfu ceremony, which was taught to her by Zhang Ziyun.
Now that Zhang Ziyun is fine, she comes to their house, just like at her house, so she is already very familiar with Li Xiufang. Li Xiufang always muttered, what is the situation between this second miss Zhang and her second son? Alas, if this Second Miss Zhang was the daughter of an ordinary family, she would have proposed marriage eight lifetimes earlier. What a pity!
Xie Baoqing saw that Wang Yue's mother was dignified and polite, quite a demeanor of everyone, and he was also praised.
"Mrs. Li doesn't need to be polite, Sihua and I hit it off at first sight, and now we are officials in the same dynasty. Maybe it's going to be a lot of bothering, so don't be so polite in the future. Xie Baoqing said with a smile.
Li Xiufang didn't expect that this Lord Xie was not only dignified, but also very kind, as if he was very familiar with his second son, and couldn't help but be happy for Wang Yue.
"Lord Xie is here at the Humble House, it's an honor, it's an honor, please take a seat!" Li Xiufang greeted warmly.
