Part 4 Maritime Silk Road 24
The remnant sun was like blood, staining half of the sky, and the merchant ships coming and going on the Kowloon River channel all walked around this battleship, and the sunset reflected the mast sails on the large and small ships, and the wide water surface of the mouth of the sea was sparkling.
Everyone had no intention of appreciating this gorgeous beauty, and many people fanned their hands in front of their faces, fearing that their broken hair would stick to their faces.
At this time, Tian Youcai didn't expect Zhang Biao to become a monk, and he regretted what he had just said to him, so he walked up to him again and said with a smile: "It's rare that you can repent all of a sudden!" In this case, General Zhang, if there are any difficulties in your family in the future, this official will definitely take care of them, rest assured, I hope you can achieve positive results as soon as possible, and you will be able to benefit all sentient beings in the future. ”
Zhang Biao's heart understands that Tian Youcai is exquisite, and he speaks better than he sings all day long, but he falls into the well everywhere, although he is very disgusted with him, but he does not want to offend him, so he kowtows and replied: "Thank you Lord Tian for being merciful and compassionate, and there is nothing to repay in the future, I will pray for the adults in front of the Buddha in the future, and I hope that the adults will not forget the words of the sage, and can be more kind to the people of Limin, and never ...... again."
Tian Youcai didn't know what he was going to say next, so he hurriedly said: "General Zhang doesn't need to say much, as a disciple of Confucius, this official will definitely be able to govern the boundary of Zhangzhou to Fu Minkang and Heqing Haiyan, please ask Elder Yuekong to witness it." With that, he pulled the Moonsky Elder closer.
Elder Yuekong faced the three disciples he had just accepted and said, "Those who confess their karma, bodhisattvas think to themselves, and in the past beginningless eons, from greed and ignorance, to the body and mouth, to do all kinds of negative karma, immeasurable. If this negative karma has a physical appearance, and the void realm cannot tolerate it, now with the purification of the three karma, all over the Dharma realm of the very fine dust, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in front of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, sincerely repent, and then do not recreate, and keep all the merits of purifying all merits. Get up, no Amitabha Buddha in the south. ”
At this moment, Ma Zhishan and Li Chenghuai cried bitterly, as if they had lived to this day, and their hearts had found their true home.
Zhang Biao glanced at Tian Youcai, and thought to himself, although the commander of the garrison of the Yuegang Guard Station is not of high rank, but this position is very important, he resigned in order to save his life, although Zhai Yin is upright, but he has no right to speak, it seems that Tian Youcai will inevitably have a suitable candidate, and he will be recommended to the commander of the envoy, with his understanding of Tian Youcai, the successor will definitely not be as good as himself!
can't watch such an important position be given to a bastard, Zhang Biao believes that he must take advantage of Pang Shangpeng's presence to explain these issues clearly, otherwise, he will not have the right to speak for himself in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Biao knelt in front of Pang Shangpeng again: "May I ask the governor, the commander of the Commander of the Embassy in the Yuegang Guard, is there a suitable candidate now?" ”
As Zhang Biao imagined, Tian Youcai was thinking about who could take this position, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but scold Zhang Biao in his heart, since you have chosen to become a monk, why bother with this idle matter?
Before Pang Shangpeng could answer, Tian Youcai scolded: "Zhang Biao, what kind of thing are you, you dare to ask the governor like this!" ”
Pang Shangpeng suddenly realized this problem, and glared at Tian Youcai fiercely, at this time, he also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the parties were here to make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to leave trouble, and said: "Governor Tian, please hold the lamp!" ”
Tian Youcai understood Pang Shangpeng's thoughts, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to hang lanterns around the wide foredeck, and ordered the officials to pick up two big red lanterns and stand on both sides of Pang Shangpeng. ”
Pang Shangpeng thought to himself, since you have no right to ask, then why should you worry about this? Ignoring Tian Youcai, he asked Zhang Biao: "You have been stationed in Yuegang for many years and are familiar with the situation in this place, so tell me, among the guards, is there a suitable candidate worthy of promotion?" ”
Zhang Biao was stunned for a moment, not expecting the governor to ask him this question.
At this time, Tian Youcai took the opportunity to reply: "The lower official can guarantee the promotion of one person......"
Originally, there was no place for Zhai Yin to speak, but at this time, he couldn't help it, and hurriedly gave Pang Shangpeng a deep salute, grabbed the topic of Tian Youcai, and said loudly: "There is a suitable candidate for Zhai Yin, please listen carefully to Lord Tian and Lord Governor." ”
Tian Youcai's words were suppressed, and he was very annoyed in his heart, but in front of Pang Shangpeng, he was not easy to attack, so he glared at Zhai Yin angrily.
"Zhai Zhixian, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" Pang Shangpeng became interested.
"This person is the disciple of Master Xuande Zhenren, the chivalrous and courageous warrior Song He!" Zhai Yin replied.
Tian Youcai listened to the puff and sneered, and before Pang Shangpeng could speak, he hurriedly spoke: "I said Zhai Yin, Zhai Yin, you are really confused, the chief flag officer who commands the garrison of the embassy department, how can you use a white ding as the commander!" ”
Zhai Yin replied unhurriedly: "Lord Tian, there is no more suitable candidate than Song Xiashi. ”
"Nonsense!" Tian Youcai said angrily: "Zhai Zhixian, this official is very suspicious now, did you get that fame by yourself?" Let me ask you, what is the fame of Song Xiashi? ”
"In the eyes of the lower officials, Song Xia Shi is the most suitable candidate." Zhai Yin didn't answer directly, as if he was a little strong.
About this chivalrous Song He, Tian Youcai has seen it, no matter how he looks at it, it doesn't look like he has a meritorious reputation, he knows that Pang Shangpeng will not be ** in this matter, so he said: "If you have to discuss this matter now, it should be decided by the governor." ”
Pang Shangpeng couldn't be clearer about Song He's experience, knowing that he had assisted Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Yamen in Nanjing, and was responsible for managing Luo Amin with Zhu Hui, and at the same time monitoring Tang Jing and Chen Yuanhua and others, and was praised by Hai Rui, the governor of Yingtian, many times, but I don't know if Wang Chong and Hai Rui had asked for merit for him?
Thinking of this, Pang Shangpeng asked calmly: "Zhai Yin, since you recommended Song Xiashi, do you know anything about him?" ”
"Lord Governor Qiyu, just a few days ago, there were a large group of gangsters on the dock to make trouble, trying to sack the Westerner galleon, after the lower official got the news, he quickly led the messenger to handle the case, but there was no help from the officers and soldiers of the guard, it was really powerless, at this critical juncture, Song Xia and his wife fell from the sky, and they were not afraid of danger in the face of the gangsters who were numerous, and they defeated dozens of gangsters by themselves......"
Hearing Zhai Yin's answer, Tian Youcai said with a smile: "Zhai Zhixian, okay, okay!" It's just a martial artist. If you think this person is available, you can stay in your own yamen and let him be a soap subordinate. With that, he hurriedly stared at Pang Shangpeng, hoping to stop the topic.
But Pang Shangpeng ignored Tian Youcai, he knew that Zhai Yin hadn't finished speaking, so he waved his hand and said, "Zhai Zhixian, please continue." ”
"After dispersing the gangsters, Xia Guan invited Song Xia Shi and his wife to have dinner in Yan Hai Lou, during the banquet, they told Xia Guan about their experience in Nanjing, it is said that Wang Zhenfu of Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si Yamen, once asked for the Song Xia Shi to be famous." Zhai Yin finally finished speaking, and found that Pang Shangpeng couldn't stop nodding, so he knew that he was already ** not far from ten, so he quickly retreated to the side.
"When I return to Fuzhou, this matter will be decided by the governor Yamen. Zhai Zhixian, since you love Song Xia so much, arrange an errand for him in your yamen first. Pang Shangpeng said, and suddenly found that Tian Youcai was lucky, knowing that he would not give up easily, so he continued: "Since Zhang Biao has resigned, the governor of the yamen has commanded the embassy to garrison the guard, and it is not possible to be without a handsome, Zhai Zhixian, this is good, the commander of the guard is temporarily represented by you, but what's the problem?" ”
Zhai Yin was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and replied, "The lower official thanks the governor for his kindness!" ”
Since the governor gave instructions, even if Tian Youcai was unwilling, he could only let it go, he was busy for a day and a night, he was already tired and dizzy, at this time, the sky was also dark, a crisis was finally successfully resolved, with Pang Shangpeng's order, the battleship was ready to set sail and return to Zhangzhou City along the Jiulong River channel.
In this crisis, Tian Youcai, who was afraid of provoking the fire, although he was not implicated in any way, he did not get any benefits, and even lost the opportunity for Liu Qian, Zhang Biao and others to bribe him, and always felt that his boss Pang Shangpeng favored his subordinate Zhai Yin, and his heart was twisted, and he was full of stomach gas along the way, and when he returned to Zhangzhou it was already late at night, he had to drag his tired body, forced a smile to arrange accommodation for everyone, and tried his best to invite Pang Shangpeng to live at his house, but Pang Shangpeng politely declined, This made him feel very uncomfortable.
That night, Pang Shangpeng and Elder Yuekong, Xuande Zhenren lived in the post station together, Zhai Yin did not return to Haicheng County, he and Zhang Biao, Li Dan, Ma Zhishan, Li Chenghuai and others, all lived in the "Shen Mansion", Shen Qi and Song He and his wife entertained them for a supper.
Finding that everyone was not a little sleepy, Shen Qi invited everyone into the flower hall in the house, soaked in a pot of fragrant tea, everyone got together, Tiannan Haibei chatted, at this moment, Zhang Biao was a little ashamed, and apologized to Shen Qi on the spot.
Looking at Zhang Biao's ** hair like a dog's gnaw, Song He and Wanxi were holding back their laughter until this moment, when they asked why.
So, Zhang Biao hurriedly congratulated Song He, saying that he had resigned from the post of the health office, and after the recommendation of Lord Zhai, he would be the chief flag officer of the Yuegang Health Institute.
Zhai Yin originally wanted to give Song He a happy heart, one may have variables in the future, and if the other comes out of his mouth, it seems that he is suspected of inviting people to buy people's hearts, so he used this topic to tell Song He, asking him not to refuse.
Of course, Song He, who was very arrogant, would not refuse, but Wanxi stopped doing it, picked up the teacup in his hand, and wanted to smash it at Song He, so frightened that he hurriedly hid aside.
Everyone here is very puzzled, why would Wanxi prevent her husband from becoming an official? But Song He knew in his heart that Wanxi's ancestors were killed by Jinyiwei, and their Lan family hated Jinyiwei to the core, so they couldn't accept themselves as the chief flag officer, but they couldn't explain it to everyone.
So, Song He split his big mouth and told everyone a story: back then, he and Zhu Hui were responsible for monitoring Huang Bingwen on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, Zhang Gouer rescued Xu Ajiao in Cuihualou and was chased and killed, at a critical juncture, he and Zhu Hui came to the rescue, and the four of them fled to the Eagle Peak Temple in Bailuzhou, and met Elder Yuekong, Lord Wang Shizhen and Mr. Wu Chengen, under the witness of the three old men, Zhu Hui, Song He, and Zhang Gouer married Jin Lan, and agreed to jointly assist Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren in the future, and crossed the ocean and Xuanhua Chinese civilizationand on a par with those Western missionaries......
This is the origin of the Moon Sky Elder Business Group's ocean-going plan, Ma Zhishan and Li Chenghuai listened to their blood boiling, both of them regretted in their hearts, they had been pirates for so many years, although they also worshiped various immortals, it was nothing more than a temporary Buddha's foot, just looking forward to not losing their lives, their hearts had already lost their faith, everything was based on interests, there was nǎi is a mother, and even lost their duty to be a man......
At this moment, while Ma Zhishan and Li Chenghuai bowed to Elder Yuekong, they were also grateful to Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, and they even considered going south to Luzon to persuade those brothers who were still following Lin Feng.
Shen Qi heard that the Western merchants had arrived in the Yamen, and they did not follow the lies made up by Jia Wang to frame Ma Zhishan and others, so he couldn't help but look at Felipe, considering his family's "original sin", it would be a good way out to follow the Elder Moon Sky to sail to the New World, and he could cooperate with Felipe to open a silk factory in Acapulco.
Zhang Biao also wanted to express his determination, but suddenly heard that Song He was going to go to sea, and muttered in his heart, in his heart, he still couldn't let go of the glory and wealth he had once received, even if Song He took over his position, it might not take too long, and this fat shortage would have to be his own in the future.
After today's contest, Zhang Biao wanted to completely break with Tian Youcai, and now his heart was lively, and he felt that he would rather offend the gentleman than provoke the villain, and began to think about how to repair the relationship with him, and decided to go to the monastery to become a monk for a few days, and once Song He resigned, he hurried to the top......
Everyone was very happy, and they chatted until the second watch before they went to rest.
On the second occasion, Zhai Yin said goodbye to his boss Tian Youcai and Pang Shangpeng, took a copy of Pang Shangpeng's edict, and took Song He and his wife back to Haicheng County to take over the guard.
Zhai Yin returned the Spanish galleon, because Liu Qian had already transported the goods on the ship home, and now this place has become Shen Qi's residence, so he didn't have to do anything, and he finished the delivery with Felipe and others.
Elder Moon Sky held a ceremony and accepted Zhang Biao, Ma Zhishan, and Li Chenghuai as disciples.
Li Dan accompanied Shen Qi to the Hongmao Pavilion and re-negotiated cooperation with Felipe and others......
After successfully handling the crisis, Pang Shangpeng expressed his appreciation to the "obedient" Tian Youcai, because the governor Yamen still had a lot of official business to do, so he left Zhangzhou in a hurry.
Shen Qi and Felipe reached a preliminary agreement and decided to jointly set up a factory in the New World, and after the transaction was completed, they hurried back to Nanjing.
Soon after Shen Qi left, the governor of the Yamen commanded the envoy to issue a letter of appointment, appointing Song He as the commander of the Yuegang Guard.
Song He took office accompanied by Zhai Yin, and on the evening of the same day, a merchant ship from the Ryukyus quietly arrived at the Hailong Wharf in Yuegang, and Lin Shaoqi took Guo Yi, Ma Wu and others off the ship and came to Yanhailou......
