Early the next morning, at the south gate of Beiping City, Wu Bingjian and his colleagues stopped there, and Shi Mingzhi stood in front of Wu Bingjian, who came to see him off. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"President Wu, you've only been in Beiping City for two days, what's the matter, do you have to go back in such a hurry? Play for two more days, take a good look at the prosperity of Beiping City, and feel the excitement and extraordinariness of the imperial capital. ”

At this moment, Wu Bingjian's face was full of red light, excited, his chest was full of excitement, and he said heartily: "Hehe, Master Shi, it's not enough, I got a positive answer from the emperor, knowing so much good news, I can't stay for a moment, I can't wait to be ashamed, and immediately fly back to Guangzhou Mansion from Beiping, how can I still be in the mood to experience life and see the scenery!" ”

Wu Bingjian's heart was itching, as if these words could not express his feelings, and said: "Master Shi, you don't know, if those of my colleagues know the news, they will definitely be very happy, and they will definitely face the north, face the direction of the palace, and bow to the emperor in order to express their feelings." ”

Shi Mingzhi was a little unimpressed, and felt that Wu Bingjian was a little too much, as for it? Still, he can understand. Although he disdained to be in the company of merchants when he was the chief soldier of the Qing court's naval division in Guangzhou Mansion, he still knew some of the encounters of the thirteen merchants in Guangzhou, especially that time, Qianlong Qin issued an edict to let the merchants taste the debts at double the price!

It satisfied the emperor's vanity, but it hurt these merchants.

That's not as simple as breaking the muscles and bones, Shi Mingzhi has seen it with his own eyes, some businessmen lost their property overnight, couldn't afford to pay off huge debts, and were made to sell their wives and daughters, but they still couldn't afford to pay it back, until they were finally forced to commit suicide, how miserable?

In just that year, most of the merchants of the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou disappeared, and the rich merchants returned to poverty overnight, and the situation was staggering! The reversal is unbelievable, like a dream.

How shrewd is Wu Bingjian? It was just a moment that I understood Shi Mingzhi's facial expression and felt the disdain in the other party's heart. Although he felt uncomfortable, Wu Bingjian still held back, and his face was still flushed with excitement.

As a businessman, Wu Bingjian not only makes his business very big, but also has a very far-sighted vision. Although Shi Mingzhi is a military general, he can't control himself, and there is no entanglement of interests between the two.

However, Wu Bingjian deeply knows that Shi Mingzhi is not only a military general, but also a senior military general, and his relationship with Yang Lin is irreversible and extraordinary, this is a fierce man who goes to the great heavenly court, and can directly make suggestions to the emperor.

What's more, Wu Bingjian is a businessman, he is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, and the vicissitudes of the world, what kind of cynicism he has not seen? Do you care about Shi Mingzhi's disdain? Compared to the previous ones, this attitude is insignificant, not even the skin.

These thoughts passed in an instant in Wu Bingjian's mind, his face was still full of red light, he was in a good mood, he arched his hand at Shi Mingzhi, and said happily: "Master Shi, you can send it here, there must be a breakup, Bingjian really can't wait any longer, those colleagues are still waiting for my good news, Wu Mou will take the first step~!" ”

In fact, Shi Mingzhi was not disgusted with Wu Bingjian, especially at this moment, he was happy and direct, without hiding his intention to leave, and he still had a good feeling in his heart. Shi Mingzhi didn't insist anymore, but also arched his hand, and said loudly: "In this case, President Wu, then let's meet here, goodbye in Guangzhou Mansion!" ”

Wu Bingjian left, the light car was simple, except for the necessary dry food, he didn't bring anything, he rode his horse all the way, drove the carriage away, and looked in a hurry, Shi Mingzhi was very emotional.

"It seems that I should also leave as soon as possible, return to Guangzhou Mansion, and make arrangements as soon as possible to ensure that there are no mistakes in those two shipping lanes, especially those detained foreigners."

Shi Mingzhi muttered to himself, as if he had something in mind, turned around and walked towards the city gate, and disappeared among the passers-by.

In the palace, in the Yuxiu Palace.

At this time, Shi Mingzhi was standing in front of Yang Lin's bookcase, his expression was solemn and serious, Yang Lin still lowered his head, looked at the documents, and said calmly: "Brother Shi, do you have to go?" In two or three months, Yuxiu will be in labor, why rush at this time? What's more, isn't there still Qi Zhiyuan in Guangdong? ”

Shi Mingzhi was unmoved, and still insisted on saying: "Your Majesty, Commander Qi is the commander of Thunder, responsible for the overall Thunder Navy, and he can't be busy with daily things at all. ”

Seeing that Yang Lin was still immersed in reviewing the documents, and did not let himself go at all, Shi Mingzhi thought for a moment and continued: "Moreover, like the Thunder Patrol Squad, which is responsible for the investigation of merchant ships, as well as the two sea lanes that have been opened, these things have always been in charge of me. It's not long before the time of trade, and if I leave it to someone else now, it's easy to have problems. ”

Hearing this, Yang Lin's hand moved obviously, his brows furrowed, and then he raised his head, looked at Shi Mingzhi, and asked, "Since this is the case, then I won't force you to stay, so when do you want to leave Beiping City?" ”

Shi Mingzhi's heart suddenly relaxed, he didn't dare to hesitate more, and immediately replied: "Emperor Qiqi, if you can, the last general wants to set off early tomorrow morning, take a boat from the dock of Tianjin Mansion, go all the way south, and return to Guangzhou Mansion by sea." ”

Yang Lin's brows furrowed again, but he didn't object, and said in a consultative tone: "So anxious? If Yuxiu knew, she would definitely not want to let you leave so soon. ”

Of course, Shi Mingzhi felt the relaxation of Yang Lin's attitude, and he was also a little embarrassed when he heard such a question. However, as soon as he thought of his sense of responsibility, he immediately stood up straight and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the princess is there, and the last general will wait for a while to say goodbye and explain things clearly." The imperial concubine is an empathetic person and will definitely understand the last general. ”

Yang Lin nodded, his brows furrowed, his tone suddenly changed, and he said: "By the way, Brother Shi, I have a young soldier here who is very fascinated by the navy, since you are going to return to Guangzhou Mansion, let him follow you and join the sequence of the navy." ”

Shi Mingzhi was slightly stunned, a little surprised, he didn't expect Yang Lin to give him such a task. However, based on what he knew about Yang Lin, that soldier must have been very good. Otherwise, he would not personally recommend himself, which is obviously an attempt to cultivate that soldier well.

Thinking of this, Shi Mingzhi didn't postpone anything, and happily agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, no problem." But where is the young soldier now? Will the last general leave early tomorrow morning, is it still too late? ”

As if he hadn't heard, Yang Lin didn't respond to Shi Mingzhi, but beckoned to a small eunuch not far away, and ordered: "Go, call Feng Zicai over to me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will go~"

The little eunuch agreed and turned to leave, but Shi Mingzhi was sensitive to catch a piece of news, that is, the young soldier's name was Feng Zicai, and he was in the palace and should be the emperor's guard.

As Shi Mingzhi guessed, Feng Zicai was in the palace and served as Yang Lin's personal guard. Soon, the little eunuch just now reappeared, followed by a soldier in a military uniform, looking at his appearance, he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

It seems that Yang Lin likes Feng Zicai very much, and when he saw Feng Zicai walking in, he smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "Hehe, Feng Zicai, what I promised can be fulfilled today, and you can be regarded as getting your wish." ”

As soon as he heard such words, Feng Zicai, who had just stood up, was stunned, did not react, was a little confused, did not understand what Yang Lin meant, and looked dazed.

Yang Lin saw the doubts in Feng Zicai's heart, smiled, then pointed at Shi Mingzhi, and said heartily: "Zicai, this general beside you is the commander of the famous Thunder Navy First Division, Shi Mingzhi, from now on, you are his soldier, what are you still doing in a daze?" Salute your chief~! ”

For a moment, Feng Zicai wanted to jump up happily. However, he still held back, snapped, and immediately gave a standard military salute, and said in a loud voice: "I've seen Master Shi!" ”

Shi Mingzhi did not hold it up, and symbolically returned a military salute, then showed a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Zicai, although you were personally introduced to me by the emperor, but, according to the rules of the army, I will not give you a little special care, and you still have to rely on your own ability, climb and roll in the army, gain the recognition of others, and be promoted by military merits!" ”

Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction, there was no dissatisfaction, Feng Zicai was even more eye-catching, as soon as Shi Mingzhi's leisurely words ended, Feng Zicai immediately said sonorously: "Report to Master Shi, before the matter, the emperor also explained, subordinates still have to start from the bottom." ”

"Moreover, Zicai never thought that he would rely on his relationship to ascend to the throne, but to be recognized by his own strength, and to support a piece of heaven and earth with his own hands, and never disappoint the emperor's hopes!"

Shi Mingzhi also nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but look at Feng Zicai a little higher, still with a serious expression, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then you will start by being my guard in the future." If you perform well, you will be honed at the base level below you. ”

Feng Zicai was a little depressed, very unwilling, he didn't expect to go to the navy or serve as a police guard, and there was not much change at all.

"Yes, Master Shi, obey the commander's arrangement~!"

Obviously, although Feng Zicai agreed happily, he was still a little unhappy. Yang Lin immediately noticed the subtle changes in Feng Zicai's mood, and immediately said loudly: "Zicai, don't thank Master Shi soon, Master Shi wants to train you personally." Thunder is a combat unit, there are often battles, follow the side of Master Shi, you have benefited a lot~! ”

In an instant, Feng Zicai reacted, being by Shi Mingzhi's side was very different from the emperor, Master Shi often commanded and fought battles, and by his side, he could learn a lot of skills in marching and fighting.

Immediately, Feng Zicai closed his legs again, snapped, and it was another standard military salute, and he shouted loudly: "Thank you for the cultivation of the division commander, Zicai will definitely work hard, be your guard, and study hard!" ”
