Chapter 178: Three Worships on Qi Shaobao
At this time, no one can tell the message, sometimes it is unbearably slow, but sometimes it is surprisingly fast.
The news that Wang Zheng led Wendeng Camp to Penglai to take up his post was spread by anyone, and it became known to everyone in the north of Dengzhou Mansion in less than a day, and people of all ages were talking about it.
Walking on the main street in Penglai City, although there are many local gentry who greet them, they are all stiff-faced, although they are smiling and smiling, but they give people a feeling of unhappiness in their bones.
Of course, they are just a very light performance, if they don't look carefully, they really can't see it, at least in Dengzhou Mansion, Wang Zheng is not a military general like Wang Zheng can offend these gentry, at least they have to make a very welcoming appearance on the face.
The generals of the Wendeng battalion had never been to Nanzhili, and only a few had been to Jining with Wang Zheng, but that time they were also going to do business, and they only stayed at the dock outside the city for a few days and did not enter the city.
This time, when I saw the crowding and liveliness in Penglai City, I took it for granted that the so-called Nanzhili City was like this, and many people were thinking about how to enjoy it.
In fact, although Penglai is already a giant city that can be ranked in Shandong, it is still not enough to see it in Nanzhili.
However, for Dong Youyin, Gao Liang and others under Wang Zheng, this does not affect the feeling that Penglai gives them, walking on the street on the one hand to pretend to be serious, on the other hand, they can't help their curiosity, and they are very contradictory.
Even Dong Youyin and the others are like this, not to mention the rest of the salt and soldiers, they are all secretly looking at the surrounding environment, and they are indescribably proud.
Not long after, the team entered Penglai Mansion City through Shacheng and came to the eastern section of Qianjie.
What he saw was a large granite stone carving workshop, Wang Zheng walked to the stone workshop with a curious attitude and glanced at it, only this glance, and he couldn't move a step.
"Stop!"
The team was marching, but Wang Zheng suddenly raised his hand and shouted, everyone didn't understand why, but the good military discipline of the Wendeng camp still made them stop neatly on the front street.
"General, what's wrong?"
Huang Yang trotted over as soon as possible, and according to his thoughts, Wang Zheng suddenly called out that there must be something big about the team.
Wang Zheng didn't reply, he looked at a stone shop intently, his face was full of awe, and at this time, Dong Youyin and others also rushed over and stepped forward to look at it together.
The stone square stands in the southernmost part of the front street, towering and straight, finely carved, and the middle forehead book has two lines of fine and small characters:
"Gifted Hussar General to Protect the Country, Command the Former Governor of Shandong, Qi Jingtong"
"Guarding Zhejiang, Fujiang, Guangchengui, Commander-in-Chief, Governor Tongzhi, Former Governor of Shandong, Preparation of Widows, Qi Jiguang"
Seeing these two lines of small characters, everyone finally understood why Wang Zheng suddenly stopped the team, this was actually the Qi father and son governor Shifang, Chongzhen eight years when the emperor in recognition of the Qi father and son hard work, posthumously built.
Dengzhou, is a generation of anti-Japanese Ming general Qi Shaobao's hometown, Penglai Mansion now has the ancestral hall of "Dengzhou Qi's" and the ancestral hall of the Gong Temple, these buildings are also imitated in modern times.
The surrounding gentry and the military and civilians are all talking.
There are still the prefect and the former garrison commander waiting in the city, and the accompanying civil and military officials are also waiting, so it stands to reason that nothing is more important than the handover.
It was difficult for the prefect Sun to greet him once, but Wang Zheng asked Wendeng Ying to stop and look at a stone, what is this doing?
"Turn!"
"Kneel!"
Soon there was an answer, and under the order of the grassroots generals in the team, the soldiers of the entire Wendeng battalion immediately turned to face Shifang, bowed their heads and knelt on one knee.
"Qi's father and son are a hundred years of heroes!"
About 30 or so middle and senior generals of the Wendeng battalion gathered behind Wang Zheng, all of them bowed to Shifang three times with solemn expressions, Wang Zheng's face was extremely serious, and he turned around and issued his first order as the deputy commander of the Penglai garrison:
"Qi's stone workshop has not been repaired for a long time, this is not the treatment that a true hero should have! Mr. Huang Qian, I order you to take thirty sergeants and find the best stonemason in the city to repair it carefully! ”
Huang Yang hugged his fists and said: "Humble and orderly!" ”
Wang Zheng respected Qi Jiguang so much, and many people who saw it were envious of Qi's house.
But they really think too much, the current Qi Mansion has little to do with Qi Jiguang's generation, everyone knows that Qi Jiguang was oppressed and excluded by all parties in his later years, and the mansion was poor and dilapidated.
And the current Qi Mansion is luxuriously decorated, which may be the name of the Dengzhou Qi family.
Wang Zheng and the generals of the Wendeng camp worship the heroes of the two generations of governors of Qi Shaobao's father and son, but they are not the Qi Mansion who has no heart now, and they didn't even glance at the Qi Mansion people outside the Mansion when they passed by.
From the front street all the way to the north, soon into the center of Penglai City, at this time Sun Hualong and the others had been waiting impatiently, at this moment with the same knowledge, experience and other civil officials have a match.
Seeing a team of soldiers and horses coming from afar, Sun Hualong snorted coldly, this king has finally arrived.
It's already disrespectful to not notify yourself when you come to work, this time I heard that I went to worship some stone workshop and delayed the trip, how can a little trivial thing be more important than the handover?
Wang Zheng still has his own prefect in his eyes!
The generals in the city are different from civilian officials, Wang Zhenglai is their top boss after taking office, and whether he can maintain his current position in the future depends on whether Wang Zheng's mood is good or not.
Having said that, Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, has withdrawn all his subordinates from Dengzhou Mansion, and even he has relented, so what qualifications do these generals, who have long lost real power, be disrespectful to Wang Zheng.
Therefore, these generals followed the buttocks of Wu Weizhong, the chief soldier of Denglai, and congratulated them repeatedly.
Wang Zheng knew that most of these people had no real power, and there were almost no soldiers left except for a small number of family members in their hands, but they still responded with a smile, and some of them were polite at all.
When he saw Wu Weizhong, he was overjoyed, and stepped forward and said:
"Brother Wu, I haven't seen you for half a year, but now I want to call you Lord Zhentai."
Wu Weizhong laughed and patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder, although the two had not seen each other for a long time, they still seemed close.
In fact, every time he thinks of Wang Zheng, he can't help but admire, this kid has a prosperous official luck, and he has only been working hard for three years, and he has actually sat down from the chief sentry officer he gave him to the current deputy chief soldier, and even he is a little envious
He looked up and down, and saw Wang Zheng wearing a heroic and powerful silver and white iron armor, and said in amazement:
"Who would have thought that now you, Wang Zheng, are also the deputy chief soldier of the Shizhen side." Speaking of this, Wu Weizhong looked at the Wendeng battalion behind Wang Zheng, and sighed again:
"I really don't know how you trained these soldiers, I heard that Yangma Island wiped out more than 800 Qing troops in the first battle, but you suffered less than 100 casualties?"
Wang Zheng nodded, not like to say more on this stubble, and turned around and nodded to the pro-soldiers on the side.
Wu Weizhong was also very curious about what Wang Zheng brought, stretched his neck to look over, and actually saw a cold and shining stainless steel tiger-headed broadsword!
"This tiger head knife was seized from the Tartar ginseng leader on Yangma Island and given to Wu Zhentai!"
Wang Zheng is so affectionate and righteous, although Wu Weizhong is a man of temperament, he is still a little embarrassed after hearing that this is the knife used by the Tartar ginseng.
"This.... This is what you desperately seized from the Tartars, how can I suffer in vain, brother? ”
"How can it be fruitless, if there is no old brother to help each other openly and secretly, there will be no place for my king to fight now!"
"Our warriors don't play the crooks of the scribes, the reason why we gave this tiger head sword to my brother is just to help kill a few more thieves on the battlefield!"
This voice of "old brother" made Wu Weizhong's heart crispy, and he also felt that he was hypocritical, and no longer shirked, laughing and laughing:
"That town is disrespectful!"
