Chapter 340: Fujian has also been hit on the head!
What does a silver ingot mean, it is to reward Liang Pengfei with a title that can receive a salary and eat even if he does not work, but this is the lowest title in the Qing Dynasty: En Cavalry Captain, and how big is this En Cavalry Captain? It is equivalent to seven grades.
And it's a second-class, a little bit higher than the third-class, a little bit lower than the first-class. How much is the silver of this knight? Forty-five taels per year...... As for the bird feather, of course, it is not a chicken feather, but a peacock feather, a one-eyed flower feather, you know, the reward of this one-eyed flower feather is really very shocking, you must know that among the current Manchu and Han ministers, those who can be qualified to appreciate the flower feather are all meritorious people, or decades of veterans, no, it is not a war merit can not be appreciated.
For example, Fukangan is a three-eyed dazzling feather, and Lin is now a double-eyed dazzling feather, and Liang Pengfei happens to be a military general, and he happens to be a military meritorious, and the court doesn't want him to be promoted again as a young descendant, but since he should be a typical national propaganda, he can't fail to reward him for his merits, so it won't be a bother to do the reward, and he will just take a bird feather and finish the matter.
"What a broken title, it's only forty-five taels of silver, compared to the annual salary of our old Liang family's pirates, it's not as good as your grandmother's ......" Under the gaze of a pair of red and glowing eyes, Liang Pengfei, who was already crying and laughing in his heart, had to put on a grateful expression, and took over the bird feathers, well, took the official hat with a one-eyed flower, and the grace of the knighthood. In my heart, I continuously expressed my cordial greetings to Qianlong's female relatives.
Thinking of the young man who was only forty-five taels of silver that year, looking at the official hat on his head with a bright peacock feather, thinking that in his previous life, he scolded nosy people for being old peacocks, and now, he actually carried peacock feathers, and wanted to pretend to be proud of it, when he thought of this, Liang Pengfei almost burst into tears, and he really sighed at the wonder of fate.
"He is young, but he is brave and good at fighting, and he has made outstanding achievements, which is really a blessing for me in the Qing Dynasty." And Changlin stretched out his hand and patted Liang Pengfei's arm, stroked his long beard and bowed to Liang Pengfei with a kind face. Putting all the blame for the defeat on the shoulders, the unscathed Governor of Liangguang, Changlin, swept away his previous sad face, and now he is not elated, but at least his eyebrows are still very appropriate.
--------------------
The surrounding Liangguang civil and military forces, whether they were jealous or envious, all squeezed out a warm smile at this moment and congratulated Liang Pengfei. Finally, Liang Pengfei finally dealt with these guys, and everyone sat down.
"The emperor has issued an order that the commander of the general of Jinghai will be the general of Jinghai, and the governors of the five provinces of Guangzhou, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu will go south from the Beijing Division, and the Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake Naval Divisions will go south to fight." Changlin turned his head to Liang Pengfei and the new chief soldier of the Shui Division of Exhaust Stone Town. He nodded at them and continued.
Hearing the news, Liang Pengfei couldn't help but be secretly speechless, it seems that the old guy in Qianlong is really anxious, and he actually let the governor of Fukangan in the five provinces be obedient, how much favor this is, but I don't know if Fukangan can rush to the sea before the British blockade the Yangtze River, if the British are blocked in the Yangtze River, I don't know if Fukangan will vomit three liters of blood in anger.
"Your Excellency the Governor, Fujian Urgent Report, Fujian Emergency Report......" Just when Liang Pengfei fell into a state of distraction, there was a high and eager cheer from outside the hall, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but look out of the hall in amazement.
"What's going on?" Changlin stood up and asked outside in a bit of annoyance.
A military attache rushed into the hall and bowed to the ground, and presented an urgent letter with both hands: "The last general, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the general Wei Hai, the governor of Liangguang, the governor of Liangguang, my Fujian Navy Division Nanao Town Navy Division Battalion five days ago, was broken by the Yingyi Navy Division, the new commander of Nanao Town, Lan Shengguo, fought unremittingly, and died for the Yingyi artillery fire, and the Chenghai Battalion General Zhao Honglin led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to fight with the enemy, but was knocked over by the enemy ship, and now life and death are uncertain......"
"What?!" The civil and military forces in the hall all jumped up at this time, with a look of horror on their faces.
That Wei Shen will continue to tell the story of the matter: "In addition to the Haimen Battalion, the Dahao Battalion, and the left battalion of the town mark to the north, and finally retreated to Kinmen, Nanao has fallen into the hands of the British thieves, and now, my Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Divisions have been ready to defend Kinmen, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places, and will definitely gather and annihilate the attacking Yingyi to show our Celestial Empire......"
"What the hell, what kind of battle are I, him, and them, they can't shrink at all, and the enemy refuses to fight." Liang Pengfei pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, the martial arts around him could only roll his eyes vigorously, at this time, there were people around, but Master Liang's words were favored and recognized by his colleagues in Guangdong.
After all, the Guangdong sailors still had the courage to rush out and fight with the British, although they lost, at least they had the courage to rush out. On the other hand, the Fujian sailors, the head town of Nanao asked the British to give a plate of all the dishes, and the rest of the sailors simply scattered with their butts and fled.
In comparison, the Guangdong Navy Division also abolished several warships of the British (it is customary to report more than a dozen ships to the court, as long as everyone knows). More than 1,000 beheadings and more than 1,000 prisoners were captured, and when comparing the battle records, the officers and men of Guangdong certainly had reasons to be proud.
And at the end of the official document, Wu Lana, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, hoped that the governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, Changlin, would look at the party-state, oh to be wrong, everyone was full of people, and they were neighbors of each other, and they had a joint operation, so they would give the brothers a hand.
"Pull you, who will pull Lao Tzu then?" Changlin's face was impassive at all, but he kept scolding his mother in his heart, because he Wu Lana came up with the idea of borrowing troops from himself, why didn't you see your Fujian and Zhejiang sailors coming to ask for help when the Guangdong sailors were beaten?
Not only did they push back and block, but some people even said cool things, saying that the Guangdong Navy Division had no combat effectiveness at all, and actually let the barbarians be crippled.
Now that I've let the British guys beat me up, I know that I'm running over for help? No way.
Changlin, who was actually a little schadenfreude in his heart, showed a worried look on his face: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, Fujian was actually attacked by those damn Yingyi, by the way, this governor remembers, the last time this governor sent people to meet your governor, Governor Wu didn't Zeng Yan, all the departments under his command are full of morale, and they treat the enemy who comes to attack strictly, and they will definitely gather and annihilate the enemy overseas in Fujian and Zhejiang, why did they let them fight like this?" ”
How dare this Fujian military attache care about these high-level matters, besides, he explained that there was a fart, so he had to reply in a low voice: "This is ...... The last general really didn't know. I also asked the governor to send troops as soon as possible to aid our Fujian and Zhejiang, so that the people of our Fujian and Zhejiang provinces would not be disturbed by the thieves and cause the people to be displaced. ”
"Alas, General Wei will hurry up, it's not that the governor doesn't allow you to ask, but the matter is very important, you should be cautious, besides, my Guangdong Navy Division was severely defeated by the British thieves a month ago, and the soldiers were defeated, and self-protection is still insufficient, where are the naval warships that can be sent to Fujian and Zhejiang...... Otherwise, you sit here for a few days, the governor wants to find a way, in short, Fujian and Zhejiang and I are dependent on each other, if you don't ask, not only violates the friendship of colleagues, but also bears the emperor's hope that his subordinates will be sincere and united, and only loyal to the monarch. After Changlin picked up General Wei, he directly fooled General Wei with his words.
--------------------
After General Wei left, Changlin's face turned grim, and he glanced at the water and land generals present very sternly: "Now that my Guangdong Navy Division has lost troops and lost generals, you will step up the recruitment of soldiers and horses of the Navy Division, and strictly train them, so that they can form an army as soon as possible and defend the sea areas of Guangdong. ”
"The last general obeys!" Everyone jumped up and hurriedly replied, at this time, they had already seen the power of the British, and there were originally a few people who scolded because the soldiers and horses were too far away from the river mouth and did not seize the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but after hearing about Pu Zhigao's defeat, all of them thought that the wise and cautious sailor generals were naturally willing to obey their lives.
As for the rescue of the Fujian and Zhejiang sailors, whoever likes to go will go, anyway, the words of the governor are in line with the wishes of everyone present. In a word, your governor of Fujian and Zhejiang can't control Lao Tzu and Guangzhou, and we have promised you, but when will you send troops...... This is open to discussion.
"Mr. Liang, now, Humen is the key point of my Guangdong, and I hope that Mr. Liang can guard this place, and he must not slack off, as for the general soldier, the soldiers and horses of Ru exhausted Shizhen, those who should stay stay, those who can't stay, just repatriate to their hometowns, but they should still be called up for training as soon as possible, not to mention ordnance and firearms. I believe that General Liang will not look at the powerful subordinates who have no soldiers and no generals in the past, right? Changlin stepped forward and patted the new chief soldier of Quanshi Town, and patted Liang Pengfei, with an expression that I am very optimistic about you.
"Governor, please be relieved, the last general will definitely do his best to help the general army." Liang Pengfei is happy in his heart, even if you don't say it, I will stuff the town of Exhausted Stone for Wu Qianjin, and he is definitely a top elite general.
Although Wu Qianjin has already been appointed as the chief soldier of Quanshi Town, he is actually a bare-bones commander, and Pu Zhishang's Quanshi Town has jurisdiction over the town's standard middle battalion, left battalion, and right battalion, and Pinghai Battalion, a total of four battalions of water divisions, but in fact, as far as Liang Pengfei knows, this guy's soldiers and horses have only been recruited for three-quarters, and there are still 1,000 waiting to be paid.
Now Wu Qianjin's subordinates, except for the remnants of less than 600 defeated generals, the rest are all let Pu Zhigao help him throw him into the South China Sea in advance to feed the fish, and he himself is currently waiting in prison for death, even if the remaining 600 people, not to mention Wu Qianjin, even if the other sailors and commanders shook their heads when they saw it, it was too frustrating, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and no one was afraid of anyone who was afraid of it. Therefore, Changlin also decided to ignore the six hundred remnants.
What Changlin didn't know was that his arrangement was just to add bricks and tiles to the power of Young Master Liang in Guangdong......
