Chapter 227: Stay in Annan!

When Liang Pengfei and Wang Shouli arrived at Hue City, they were greeted by He Lin's personal soldiers and took them directly to He Lin's temporary residence.

"The last general, Wang Shouli (Liang Pengfei), has seen the big handsome." As soon as the two of them stepped to the front of the hall, they saw He Lin leading the generals to stand on the steps with a smile, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Okay, okay, no need to be polite, come in. Hehe...... The two of them are worthy of being the pillars of my naval division, and the battle of Annan has made great contributions. He Lin stepped forward to help Liang Pengfei and Wang Shouli and said. In addition, Ben Shuai would like to congratulate the two. ”

Liang Pengfei and Wang Shouli couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at each other, not knowing why He Lin said such a thing, but the expressions of the generals around him were either envy or jealousy, it seemed that these people already knew what was going on.

At this time, a civil official stood up next to him and cleared his throat: "Wang Shouli, the chief soldier of Humen Town, Guangdong Water Division, and Liang Pengfei, the general of Humen Town, received the order!" ……”

After receiving the holy decree, the smiles on the faces of Liang Pengfei and Wang Shouli seemed to be like spring flowers, both of them were promoted, and the original Guangdong Navy Admiral Zhao Chenglan was relocated to the Fujian Navy Admiral. Wang Shouli, the former chief soldier of Humen Town, Guangdong Navy, was promoted to the commander of the Guangdong Navy.

And Liang Pengfei, the former general of Humen Town, the Guangdong Navy, was promoted to the chief soldier of Humen Town, Guangdong Navy, and similarly, he was rewarded with a bird feather for him to stick in his head to play.

As for He Lin's reward, it is even more jaw-dropping, the prince and young master, the minister of the guard, the general Zhenyuan, and the dazzling eyes. However, He Lin's reward had already been received a few days ago, and Liang Pengfei and Wang Shouli's reward was because the two of them were too far away, so they only knew about it now.

Liang Pengfei accepted the congratulations of these generals present, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, his efforts were not in vain, and he finally became the chief soldier in charge of a town. What's more, he has not left the water division, and Wang Shouli is still his top boss, so he will definitely do things smoothly in the future.

"Pengfei, you are a rare general in my dynasty, so young, you are already a second-class master, you really envy me and wait." Yongbao stepped forward and stroked his long beard and smiled at Liang Pengfei.

After Liang Pengfei was modest, He Lin returned to the main seat, cleared his throat, and Liang Pengfei and Wang Shouli, who had an extra bird feather on their heads, also sat in their positions, waiting for the handsome man to speak.

And that He Lin's words really made the generals present a little dumbfounded, because just two months ago, there was a rebellion among the Miao people in Guizhou Province, which affected Duyun and Liping, and the momentum was quite huge, and the court was shaken, so Qianlong had already issued an order to let He Lin lead the army back to the division and suppress the rebellion of the Miao people in Guizhou.

--------------------

In addition, there is also news that although the Qing Dynasty's Celestial Dynasty has pacified the northern and central regions of Nan'an, the time is still short, the people's hearts are not at peace, and there are still remnants of the Xishan Army in various places.

Before He Lin finished speaking, Pu Ji Bao stood up with a dissatisfied face: "Dashuai, the last general is willing to return to Guizhou with Dashuai, and I hope Dashuai will agree." ”

He Lin couldn't help but have a slightly cold voice: "General Pu, this is a military order, how can the order be changed overnight." ”

"This Annan has been pacified, those remnants of the Xishan Army are just grasshoppers after the autumn, how much can they do?" Phuket Bao is still pleading.

He Lin saw that Pu Ji Bao was so unappreciative, and his face sank: "General Pu, do you want to disobey your orders?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals who were originally whispering below hurriedly closed their voices, with serious expressions, for fear that He Lin would spread his anger on his head. Pu Ji Bao saw He Lin's face as if it were covered with frost, and had to reluctantly reply: "The last general obeys." ”

After Na Pu Ji Bao sat back in his position with a sad face, He Lin glanced at the generals present, but finally landed on Liang Pengfei's face, which made Liang Pengfei stunned, and quickly sat up straight.

He Lin thought about it and didn't say anything, but continued to tell Liang Pengfei to stay after the affairs, and after the generals said goodbye and left the house, He Lin didn't say anything, just asked Yongbao and Liang Pengfei to go to the back garden with him for lunch.

In the pavilion in the garden of He Lin's temporary residence, the table was full of delicious food and wine, and in addition to Liang Pengfei, there were only the commander of the army, He Lin, and the counselor and minister Yongbao.

"This expedition to Annam, Pengfei, you have the courage and strategy, courage and strategy, with the lone division hanging overseas to defeat the Southern Ruan Shui Division, contain the idea of the Southern Ruan and Northern Invaders, and suppress the rebellion in the Fuchun area with Wang Zongbing, stabilize the overall situation, and even break the army of Ding Kesheng, the governor of the Southern Expedition, and now, the prestige of your General Liang can almost stop the night crying in Annam." After three rounds of drinking, He Lin looked at Liang Pengfei, who had changed into a general military robe, and praised with a look of relief.

"All of this is because the marshal is taking care of the last general, if it weren't for the marshal who ordered my sailor to go south to aid Ruan Wenyue, how could the last general have this merit?" Liang Pengfei saluted respectfully to Na and Lin.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be formal." After He Lin waved his hand and motioned for Liang Pengfei to sit down, He Lin's face showed a trace of regret: "It's a pity that Nanruan is still there, the Xishan Army and the Navy Division are far away, the whereabouts of the pseudo-prince Guangzan are unknown, and our army failed to calm the entire territory of Annan in one battle." It's a pity for a certain thing. ”

"Why should the marshal be like this, now, the victory of our army has been decided, Ruan Wenhui is dead, Ruan Guangzan doesn't know where he went, the Xishan Army and Water Division is already a rootless duckweed, and can no longer pose a threat to my Qing Dynasty's sea frontier, the marshal has already proved your merits to the world, why care about this little flaw?" Yongbao on the side said with a smile.

"Exactly, the marshal doesn't have to be like this, I think that in the past, the army of our dynasty also crusaded against Ruan Wenhui, but the old man was useless, but Ruan Wenhui hurt the surname of my Wang Shi and the soldiers, which made the court lose face, and now, Dashuai, you not only defeated the puppet emperor Ruan Wenhui of Annam, but also made him afraid of the prestige of the king of my heavenly dynasty, and died of sorrow. not only avenged the blood hatred of the soldiers who fell in Annan for me, but also showed the great military might of our Celestial Dynasty, making Siyi surrender ......" Liang Pengfei's sycophants are also quite level.

Under the persuasion of Liang Pengfei and Na Yongbao, Na and Lin finally returned to a happy mood.

--------------------

"Peng Fei, originally Ben Shuai wanted you to join my command, but you are proficient in water warfare, and you are really a rare general in my naval division, and now my naval commander is dying, so Ben Shuai can only let go of the pain and let you continue to work in the naval division. There is one more thing......" He Lin seemed to feel a little embarrassed to say it.

"My army is now leaving Annan, the lord of Annan is worried that the new annex is difficult to control, although he asked Pu Ji Bao to assist in the clearance, however, the lord of Annan knows that Pengfei is a rare general of my Chaoshui division, and he has endless praise for the forbidden army you have trained for him, so to speak, he has a good impression of you, and the lord of Annan is worried that the unknown Xishan army and naval division will attack the coastal area, so that the domestic smoke continues, so I ask Ben Shuai. I hope to keep an elite sailor to drive away the thieves of the Western Landscape Master. So that the lord of the country can grasp the overall situation of stability, so that the country of Annam will be peaceful and the people will be safe. Yongbao followed Na He Lin's words and explained to Liang Pengfei with a smile.

"This, handsome, what do you mean......" Liang Pengfei's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding and joy, but he still pretended to be confused on the surface.

"Pengfei, you are different from Phuket Bao, that Phuket Bao has many mistakes and omissions in this battle, Ben Shuai stayed here in the hope that he can treat the crime and make meritorious contributions, as for the request of the Lord of Annan, Ben Shuai also feels that there is some reason, and I also think that you can take on this important responsibility. This is not only because of the importance that Ben Shuai attaches to you, but also because the court values you, I hope you don't make a mistake. He Lin couldn't help but explain.

Indeed, Liang Pengfei made him quite valued, at least this young man made him feel very satisfied, just like at the beginning, after Liang Pengfei took Da Nang, he did not go further and attacked Hue, which was only two days away from Da Nang, but stayed in Da Nang on the grounds of insufficient materials and ordnance.

In fact, by doing so, he showed that he would be a man, and when he won again and again, he had not forgotten who was the commander of this crusade against the rebels in Annan, in fact, he wanted to keep the prince Guangzan and let He Lin complete the final blow, although later that Ruan Guangzan did not go as they wished, and actually flashed, but no one can blame him.

And Liang Pengfei did this, which still made He Lin feel quite satisfied, feeling that this person has courage and strategy, and understands interpersonal relationships, leaving him here, and He Lin is also a helpless choice, after all, Wang Shouli is now the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy, and Zhao Chenglan has been transferred to Fujian.

Wang Shouli had to rush back to take over, and Liang Pengfei was just a general soldier, so it would definitely be much more convenient for him to act than Wang Shouli, the admiral.

After a lot of words, He Lin and Yongbao both looked at Liang Pengfei who was contemplating and did not speak, as a habitual thinking, others would think that Liang Pengfei had offended He Lin and would be arranged such an unlucky task, because, as soon as He Lin withdrew, it also proved that the battle to pacify Annan had ended, and this military achievement could not be counted again for the subject country to clear out the pirates, so He Lin let the general soldier of Zuojiang Town, Guangxi, who lost the general at the beginning, Phuket stay here to clear the remnants of the Xishan Army, which was a disguised punishment. And keeping Liang Pengfei here is out of an overall consideration, and it is also because he values Liang Pengfei's ability.

Because Nam Nguyen is still there, and the whereabouts of the Sai Son Army and Water Division are unknown, who knows if there will be a sudden counterattack. However, he was worried that Liang Pengfei would think crookedly, so he specially left Liang Pengfei behind and explained a thing or two to Liang Pengfei for the purpose of doing so.

"The marshal has such trust in the last general, how can the last general have a reason to shirk and be willing to obey the marshal's military orders." Liang Pengfei stood up and replied to Na He Lin proudly.

"Okay, in this way, Ben Shuai will let go of his worries and can rest assured." Seeing Liang Pengfei behaving like this, He Lin and Yongbao looked at each other and smiled, and finally let go of the last stone in their hearts. "After two days, Ben Shuai will be a teacher, Pengfei, you will stay in Hue, and wait for the lord of Annam on behalf of Ben Shuai."
