Chen Eryi grinded for more than ten days, and finally came to Yuegang with two commanders.

He did deliberately disobey the yang and the yin, and he was vague about Zhang Bin's orders, but this time it was not easy to be ambiguous, because Zhang Bin made it very clear that the main officials of the Fujian Metropolitan Division and the Fujian Xingdu Division must be present.

Yang Fengyin disobeys and disobeys Shangguan's orders are two different things, and besides, it is just a celebration banquet to discuss how to exterminate the pirates, and it has no substantive effect, so he still came.

Zhang Bin was waiting for him, and when he arrived that afternoon, Zhang Bin announced that the celebration banquet would be held in the afternoon.

As for the location, there are several large restaurants in Chenghai County, which are specially used for the consumption of the wealthy maritime merchants, but Zhang Bin put the celebration banquet in the county canteen, in his words, the place is spacious.

The place in this county canteen is indeed spacious, and the lobby that originally served more than 100 people was more than enough to entertain thirty or forty people.

Before the time came, a group of generals under Zhang Bin came together, including the Qi brothers, the Yu family father and son, Cao's uncles and nephews, as well as Zheng Zhilong and a group of pirate generals who came from "appeasement", they had never fought with each other, plus they all had a relationship with Zhang Bin, and they got along relatively well.

The lobby of the dining hall was originally composed of four simple tables that could seat about 20 people in four corners, but now two tables have been moved to the strong side and placed against the wall, and the other two tables are placed in the middle of the lobby one after the other.

Under the guidance of the miscellaneous servants in the canteen, the generals came directly to a table at the back and sat down, Yu Zhigao was let to the middle of the front, the Qi brothers on the left, the Cao uncle and nephew on the right, Yu Chenglong accompanied the last seat on the right, and Zheng Zhilong sat opposite them with his generals, and this table was arranged.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Shanji of Quanzhou Patrol and Han Zhiliang of Chenghai Zhixian arrived one after another, and they were all brought to the table in front, but they also knew their own weight, but they just hung a corner and accompanied the last seat.

Outside, Hong Xianchun came late with two commanders and a dozen or so guards, and when there were about ten steps away from the door of the dining hall, the more than ten guards quickly ran to both sides of the gate for a stop, and then the leading guards directly sang: "All the commanders make the adults arrive." ”

The commander of the capital, Zheng Erpin's martial arts, the position is not low, but in the lobby, except for Cai Shanji and Han Zhiliang who stood up, the others just looked at the door and didn't get up.

Soon, Hong Xianchun walked in with Zhao Yuncheng and Sun Bingru smiling, and arched his hand as he walked: "I'm sorry, everyone, Hong is late." ”

At this time, the generals at the table stood up and saluted him.

The commander also depends on who it is, Hong Xianchun and the governor are relatives, everyone gives him face, if it is Chen Eryi, hehe.

Speaking of this, Chen Eryi didn't rush to the county office with two commanders and twenty guards until the hour of the unit, and the two officials of the Political Envoy Department and the Punishment and Prosecution Department followed behind his team, and it was obvious that they were in a group.

As soon as a bunch of people arrived at the door of the dining hall, Chen Eryi's twenty personal guards walked quickly to the left and right of the gate and squeezed Hong Xianchun's personal guards aside. ”

Hong Xianchun is here, and then there is a commander, it must be Chen Eryi, Cai Shanji and Han Zhiliang in the lobby hesitated for a moment before standing up, Hong Xianchun struggled for a while before slowly standing up with Zhao Yuncheng and Sun Bingru, as for the table of generals, they didn't even look at the door.

Chen Eryi walked into the dining hall with two commanders and two civil officials swaggering, and when he saw that the table of generals was sitting there without moving, he couldn't help but snort angrily, and then saw that the position on the left side of the front was occupied by Hong Xianchun, and he was even more cold.

However, this is not his territory after all, and he is not easy to attack, so he can only say to Hong Xianchun in a weird manner: "Lord Hong, I heard that you have cooperated very well with Lord Governor, I don't know if the factory minister and Lord Wu will give you a reward after receiving the news!" ”

When Hong Xianchun heard this, his face changed, whether Wei Zhongxian and Wu Chunfu would clean him up was what he was most worried about, this Chen Eryi really couldn't open a pot, he thought about it, just sat down, and didn't say anything polite.

Chen Eryi laughed arrogantly, and then came to the right of the main seat and sat down, his face full of disdain.

Soon, a shouting rang out outside: "Your Excellency the Governor has arrived." ”

Now, in the lobby, whether they want to or not, they all stand up.

Zhang Bin walked to the main seat with a spring breeze on his face, raised his hands with both hands, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then stood there and said loudly: "Everyone, before the celebration banquet starts, this official will say a few words. ”

Although this opening remark is not a common practice in officialdom, some officials like this tone, and everyone present does not find it strange.

Zhang Bin then raised his hand and waved to Yu Chenglong, and said approvingly: "This merit belongs to the guerrilla general Yu Chenglong, General Yu's command is determined, and he is not afraid of danger, prompting more than 20,000 pirates to vote. ”

Everyone knows that this first gong is actually Zhang Bin's, and it was he who went to persuade Zheng Zhilong "regardless of life and death".

However, civil officials are different from military generals, civilian officials are promoted based on political achievements, and military generals are promoted based on military merits, and his giving this merit to Yu Chenglong has little impact on him.

Yu Chenglong was naturally grateful, stood up and thanked him again and again.

Yu Zhigao was even more excited, he was almost sixty years old, there was not much hope for his career, and it would be up to his son Yu Chenglong in the future, now Yu Chenglong was promoted to general at a young age, and his future achievements may even surpass his father, how could he not be excited.

Zheng Zhilong was depressed, he hadn't made any military exploits, but he had become someone else's military exploits, really fucked up!

Zhang Bin glanced around, then raised his hand and waved to Hong Xianchun, and said approvingly: "Lord Hong actively cooperated with the official to mobilize the guards and transfer grain and grass, which is also indispensable, but Lord Hong is already a second-grade person, and then promoted to a first-grade member, the official does not dare to be the master, this credit can only be written down by the official first, and then the pirates will ask the court for a reward together." ”

When Hong Xianchun heard this, he was embarrassed, and quickly stood up and bowed in a circle.

The generals present chuckled very cooperatively, and there was a little atmosphere of celebration in this hall.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Bin suddenly put on a straight face, stared at Chen Eryi and said: "There is a reward and a punishment, Chen Eryi, this official ordered you to mobilize 15,000 guards to gather in Fuzhou, why are you disobedient and disrespectful?" ”

It was already very rude to call him by his name, Zhang Bin took off the hat of disobedience and disrespect, Chen Eryi was naturally annoyed, he couldn't help but stand up and defend: "Lord Governor, you can't say that, haven't I already been arraigned, the guards are far away, and they can't be assembled on time, it's not that I disobey and disrespect." ”
