So Qianlong immediately ordered Fukangan to rush to the rebel area, gather the troops of Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, and Gansu to extinguish this damned rebellion, and issued another decree to let Shanxi, Zhili, and Shandong rectify their troops and horses to extinguish all suspicious sources of chaos in the provinces at any time, and even the eastern Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Shengjing have begun to gather troops and horses. 【】

"The soldiers and horses in all provinces of the world are about to move, you know, as soon as the army moves, the grain and grass go first, so in order to ensure the needs of those counterinsurgency soldiers, those of us who stay where we stay and eat can only be reduced." Wang Shouli was also full of dissatisfaction, but this was the emperor's order, what could he do?

"I'm looking for you, just on the orders of our governor, I hope you can appease the army, after all, most of the soldiers who are drawn now are the elite of the three standards of town, fu and governor, although there are still some Eight Banners soldiers in Guangzhou City, but those things are not things in the first place, Yingyi is now on Hong Kong Island, who knows when those things will cramp again to find us trouble. Therefore, I hope that you, the general soldier of Humen Town, who guards the waterway of the Pearl River, can appease the morale of the soldiers, and the prestige of Guangzhou City from the sea will depend on you. Wang Shouli said to Liang Pengfei.

"Don't worry, brother, but with me here, I will not let Yingyi invade my continent one step, but the ...... I mentioned to you last time"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Governor has already agreed, the warrant is here, and you are given full authority for the defense of Hong Kong, and it is difficult to ask for instructions when the military situation is urgent." Wang Shouli patted his shiny head melon seeds, and quickly took out a warrant from his arms and handed it to Liang Pengfeidao.

"Thank you, brother." Liang Pengfei was overjoyed and took over this warrant, with this, his control of the area around Hong Kong Island seems so justified, anyway, those dignitaries and nobles in Guangzhou City have turned the area around Hong Kong Island into a barbarian land, plus it has always been a place for pirates, so for them, a small island, what does it matter if it is given to these British, it is better to let them kill each other with those pirates, which is more in their interests.

Therefore, for the area around Hong Kong Island, they are both dismissive and jealous, in short, a very complicated mentality, but no one wants to deal with those heroes.

Even since admitting that Hong Kong Island was given to the British, no Qing official has ever met with these Yingyi again, and in their hearts, there is really no reason to talk about these unreasonable foreign barbarians, anyway, the court has agreed to let them stay here, just let them stay.

And Liang Pengfei's volunteering has almost won the unanimous affirmation and praise of the officials of the two Guangxi provinces on the surface, but in private, he only thinks that this guy is a stunned young man.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

And after hearing Wang Shouli tell what those officials of the two Guangxi provinces thought of him, Liang Pengfei just smiled faintly: "Thank you brother for reminding me, those people can say whatever they want, anyway, brother, I don't need to rely on them to be promoted and make a fortune." ”

"Hahaha, this is reasonable, brother, no one knows your ability. The means to make a fortune, brother, I can't reach it......" Wang Shouli laughed approvingly. Not without envy. Although it is not clear how many assets Liang Pengfei has, there are many industries in Guangzhou that belong to their old Liang family, and I don't know how many people will die of hunger just for the money that the cigarette factory makes every year.

However, because of the great reputation of General Liang Dabing, no one dared to fight the old Liang family's business. In addition, the yarn mill opened, the big dyeing workshop and many other industries are also industries that make a lot of money.

"Hehe, if you have a little brother, you must be indispensable to your brother, who let you cover me like this." Liang Pengfei glanced at Wang Shouli, and both of them couldn't help but laugh understandingly.

"By the way, there is another thing, it has reached the period of patrolling, and this time it should have been patrolled by your brother Humen Town Water Master. But now, Hong Kong Island is surrounded by heroes, and your responsibility is heavy and cannot be taken lightly, so my brother, I have made a total with the Governor, and I want to let the town of Burning Stone that has been re-established as a town patrol on its behalf, I don't know what do you think, brother? Wang Shouli said the last purpose of coming to Humen Town.

"This ...... As soon as I heard that it was all up to the arrangements of the Admiral and the Governor, to be honest, the younger brother and I had to arrange the defense of the Kowloon Peninsula during this time, in case of the invasion of those heroes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have time to patrol the sentry, and if the general army is commissioned, the younger brother thinks that this choice is very appropriate, and it will only be a few months before the town is re-established, and the soldiers and generals also need to sharpen their efforts to become elites. Liang Pengfei was secretly happy in his heart, grandma, he was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to leave Guangzhou and go to Ryukyu, who Wang Shouli actually gave the opportunity to the door, which is even better.

"Well, in that case, after returning to Guangzhou, I will give it to the governor and order the general army to patrol the sentry." Wang Shouli finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the business was done.

Sending away Wang Shouli, who was full of wine and food, and drove away with a toothpick, Liang Pengfei took a deep breath. "Scholar, immediately send someone to inform Wu Qianjin of this matter, let him prepare, and in addition, inform Madame and let Madame return to King Crab Island, so that the battleship can be ready, and we should also go to Ryukyu to play with those Japanese people."

"Young master, are you going to engage in widowhood?" Bai Shusheng asked excitedly.

"Nonsense? Do you still think that Lao Tzu is really going to play with the Japanese people? Liang Pengfei glanced at Bai Shusheng and said.

"But my lord, now that the matter of Annan is undecided, should you wait a little longer?" Ni Ming, who was standing on the side, said with some concern.

"It's okay, with Li Dashuang's tens of thousands of long-trained elites, then Ruan Fuying's cold-weapon-based army is not their opponent at all, now, Zheng Lianchang Xu Sanyan has left Kunlun Island and headed for Sumatra Island, and Kunlun Island has been garrisoned by the fleet led by Mo Guan, and it can threaten the southern Ruan capital city Jiading and its coast at any time, which has no protection from the sailors, and the port state of Na Zi Tian in the west, even if Ruan Fuying of the Southern Dynasty is powerful, there is no chance of escaping this catastrophe at all, The pacification of Annan was only a matter of months.

Now, those Westerners are arguing in India over the demarcation of colonial areas, and the British are greatly weakened, and the Western colonizers cannot threaten me for the time being. The typhoon season in the Ryukyu region has not yet arrived. Therefore, if I don't take this opportunity to occupy a key point in the first island chain of the Kyushu mainland overseas, I'm really sorry that God gave me such a good opportunity. ”

In May, the island of the Ryukyus is very cool, with coral reefs surrounding the entire island, and there are many white sand beaches around the island, and there are many sail leaves dotted on the rippling blue sea, but soon, these fishing boats and merchant ships seem to have seen ghosts, and they seem to be a little frightened and rush towards the coast of the Ryukyu Island.

"Damn, I haven't even had time to greet them, what, is our warship scaring them?" Liang Pengfei looked at his fleet with arrogance and pride.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Liang Pengfei's words provoked laughter from his subordinates. Indeed, this fleet, consisting of three third-class battleships and twenty-seven three-masted battleships, was indeed very shocking.

At this time, most of the merchant ships and fishing boats of the Qing or Japanese kingdoms operated in this area, and only occasionally the merchant ships of Western merchants would stop here for a while before leaving. However, this fleet, made up of tall ships they had never seen before, appeared murderously off the coast of the island of Ryukyu, and it was no wonder that those people were not frightened.

Before someone over there could answer, there were already people here who couldn't stand Liang Pengfei. "Husband, since you have arrived on the island of Ryukyu, can you let me go, it seems that I am the supreme commander of this fleet, right? Bao Zai, they are also listening to the teacher's lecture, don't argue with those students. Next to her, Shi Xianggu, who was dressed in a beautiful white admiral uniform, coughed dryly twice, and looked at the little husband who was standing beside her with a disgusted face. He lifted the corner of his eye and shook it to the side.

"Ah, of course, of course, for the sake of the husband, brothers, let's go up to the front deck to see the scenery, no one is allowed to quarrel with my wife to command the fleet, otherwise Lao Tzu will not finish with him." Liang Pengfei had already appointed his wife Shi Xianggu as the supreme commander of this fleet before leaving, and he was only responsible for the landing operation, seeing that those students and instructors were all looking at him blankly, Young Master Liang couldn't help but blush a little, and laughed dryly twice, and hurriedly led Liang Shuisheng and the others to slip down the command platform of the tail building.

Shi Xianggu looked at her husband's back, the corners of her mouth curved slightly in a beautiful arc, but she retracted and glanced at the admirals behind her, most of them were young people, and between them, there were a few Western faces, they were talking to these young naval officers in their own language.

And one of the students, who was a little too young, was listening carefully to the instructor's speech, taking notes quickly, and his young and even immature face was full of curiosity. This made Shi Xianggu's eyes can't help but have a little more tenderness and kindness, this is the youngest student among all the students, it is her righteous son Zhang Baozai, now he is only thirteen years old, with excellent results, has jumped several levels in a row, this time to go to sea for actual combat practice, the college recommendation form put his name in the first place.

These young naval officers are all cadets of the King of Crab Island Military Academy, and those Westerners are naturally instructors, and this trip is the first time that their group of naval officers have participated in actual combat training.
