"Therefore, I will instruct you in advance to assist you with all your heart." After a pause, Fukang said gently: "Pengfei, you are good at water warfare, and you are a rare water commander in my Qing Dynasty, so this governor has promoted you with all his strength, and I hope you can do more for Jingping in the four seas." ”

"The handsome rest assured, the handsome knows the grace of the encounter, and the officials feel the five guilty, and they should be brave for the court and swear to the death." Liang Pengfei immediately pointed to the sky and the earth, spitting stars to express his loyalty to the court, and couldn't help but sweat in his heart, fortunately, it was easy to stay in Liangguang, if he went to other regions with Fukangan, his foundation in Nanyang would be a little difficult to do, after all, many things Liang Pengfei needed to decide in person.

In fact, he is proficient in water warfare, these several battles, none of them have been fighting with the opponent at sea, the first time he fought was the defense battle of King Crab Island, with the geographical advantage, playing ground to sea, and then attacking Luzon, relying on heavy artillery giant ships, plus the other party has lost the cover of the fleet, it is simply the Liang family's fleet abusing the other party, as for the Guangzhou prefect smuggling case, he Liang Pengfei's big feet did not even climb up the board, relying on luring the enemy to go deeper.

As for the attack on the Zheng family's lair, it still has little to do with the water war, it can be said that Liang Pengfei should belong to the marine elite among the sailors, or use the classification of the arms of later generations, it would be good to be able to assign him to the Marine Corps, and it would be good to have a little relationship with the water.

It's just that in the eyes of Fukangan and the officials of Yigan and Guangzhou, they only think that this guy is proficient in water warfare, but they ignore his specialty. But it's okay to save yourself from being pulled to Tibet by Fukangan, and if you come to the plateau to reflect, you don't know how you died.

At the end of the banquet, He Shen resigned on the pretext of being tired from the journey and went to the guest room to rest, while Liang Pengfei, Zhao Chenglan, the commander of the Guangdong Navy, Master Zeng, and Wang Shouli, the general of the superintendent and standard, stayed behind after the officials left, and went to the study with Fukangan.

In the quiet study, except for a few of them, even the maid ring and the soldiers who brought tea and water all withdrew from the outside of the study, leaving only a few of them in the house. Liang Pengfei knew that Fukangan must have something to explain.

Fukangan cleared his throat and began to explain one by one, Zhao Chenglan is now a dignified member of the court, the admiral of the Guangdong Navy, but in front of Fukangan, he still seems very humble and cautious, and he accepts Fukangan's instructions one by one.

And Wang Shouli was also left behind by Fukangan, and became the new chief soldier of Humen Town, Guangdong Navy, from a general, to the position of the general soldier at once, which made Wang Shouli a little overjoyed, but he still held back the joy in his heart and expressed to Fukangan that he was willing to serve in the saddle of Fu Dashuai.

"You've been with Ben Tuk all these years, and you've done a good job. Now Cheng Liang is already the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, and he must leave people around him to help, and the original governor promoted Huang Biao, but he had such thoughts, but he was annoyed that Sun Quanmou was really ...... Therefore, leaving you and Liang Pengfei to assist Zhao Chenglan is really a last resort. Fukangan said lightly.

Hearing this, Zhao Chenglan simply cried bitterly, and even said that he didn't dare to live up to the trust of Fu Dashuai, anyway, the sycophants were like not asking for money. Fukangan nodded with satisfaction, and after saying some words to comfort Zhao Chenglan, he turned around and told Liang Pengfei a little more. "You are now a general in Humen Town, a Guangdong naval division, assisting Wang Shouli. However, now that you have been promoted to a general, you can't just command the new camp, Nantou Zhai is an important stronghold to monitor the Tanka Haikou such as Aberdeen and Lantau Island...... Hmph, don't mention it, now that there are even victories, the emperor has already ordered to supplement the losses of the Guangdong Naval Division, so the Governor has decided to set up a camp in Nantou Village to eliminate floods, that is to say, the second battalion of Xin'an and Nantou is under your command, and the Guangdong Naval Division is optimistic about the South China Sea area and monitors those Tan family thieves. ”

"Don't worry, the lower officials will guard the southern gate of Guangdong for the sailor and the court, and they will not lose the hard work and support of the marshal." Liang Pengfei replied proudly.

Fukangan nodded with satisfaction: "There is one more thing, although Na He Shen is a little greedy, he is indeed a person, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor." And Pengfei, you are good at checking your face, and you know how to behave and do things, so this governor will let you help He Shen and the adult, if you do this well, you can also benefit a lot. Do you understand? ”

After some instructions, Fukangan let their henchmen and cronies who were going to stay in Guangzhou leave the Governor's Palace. With the incriminating evidence provided by Fukangan and the assistance of Liang Pengfei, it was smooth sailing for He Shen to handle the smuggling case of the Guangzhou prefect, but after a few days, the truth has been revealed.

In the dungeon of the Liangguang Governor's Palace, Erdenbu's fate was already doomed, and after pleading guilty, He Shen took out a bottle of poisoned wine brought from the palace, and told the former emperor's cronies that if he wanted his family to be safe, he had to find a way to take care of the emperor's face, and then Shi Shiran left the dungeon.

The next day, Fukangan left Guangzhou and went straight to Qinghai under the escort of a group of civil and military officials from Guangzhou. A day later, Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong, who was acting as the governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, sent an official letter to the court regarding the death of Erdenbu, the superintendent of the Guangdong Customs. And Heshen, the Lord Shangshu, naturally has to leave Liangguang after handling the affairs.

"These words, the lower officials do things under the hands of adults, and they have indeed learned a lot of experience, and the adults act on the spot, which is really very comparable to people, and the literary talents are outstanding, no wonder the emperor will appoint the adults as the president of the four libraries, which is really wise." Liang Pengfei and Na He Shen sat in the private room of the restaurant, and here, only Liang Pengfei and He Shen sat opposite each other.

The guards and others under He Shen have naturally been arranged by Liang Pengfei to drink and have fun in other private rooms. He Shen's affairs in Liangguang have been completed, and he will leave Guangzhou in a day or two, and Liang Pengfei will naturally not let go of any opportunity to get close to the first corrupt official of the Qianlong Dynasty.

Since these days, under the overture of Liang Pengfei, who is good at checking his face and appearance, He Shen is also very pleased to have such an assistant who is both capable and knows how to meet the horse, for example, during the inspection of the military affairs of Liangguang and Guangzhou, there are many times, and Liang Pengfei will not even need He Shen to reach out himself, and Liang Pengfei will stand up for him.

This made He Shen very satisfied, and even felt that Fukangan would indeed look at people, and being able to arrange such a person to assist him really saved him a lot of time and effort.

"You don't need to be too humble, hehe, you're doing a good job." He Shen smiled and picked up the wine that Liang Pengfei had poured and took a sip.

"It's a pity that the adults are about to return to Beijing, and the lower officials can't continue to learn from the adults, which is really a pity in life." Liang Pengfei made a gesture of regret, drank the wine in the cup, and then shouted to the door: "Someone." ”

Bai Shusheng, dressed as a personal soldier, appeared at the door of the room, holding a box in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Liang Pengfei's hand, Liang Pengfei took it, and put it in front of Na He Shen, with a sincere face: "It's not easy for the adults to come to the south, these officials, listen to the teachings of the adults, and benefit a lot, but they have not been able to repay them, and in two days, the adults will return to Beijing, and the officials think about it, but they don't know what to repay." Therefore, I specially prepared some small Cheng Yi, and I hope that the adults will smile and accept it, and the lower officials can also feel a little at ease. ”

The sandalwood box was slowly opened by He Shen's hand, inside, there were silver tickets worth 10,000 taels, and the entire wooden box was almost covered with this thin paper.

The value of the silver ticket here is at least no less than seven or eight hundred thousand taels, although he and Shen are numb when they accept bribes, they really have never seen anyone who smashed nearly one million taels of silver at once.

However, who is Heshen? Known as the number one corrupt official since ancient times, even if it is something in the palace that he fancies, he will try his best to get it, such a character, what money is there that he does not dare to collect?

He Shen's hand covered the sandalwood box again, his fingers tapped on it rhythmically, turned his face, looked at Liang Pengfei, smiled meaningfully, but did not speak, as if waiting for Liang Pengfei to speak.

Liang Pengfei did not live up to his expectations. "Xia Guan is a martial artist, and what he says may not be listened to, and I hope that the adults will understand one or two. The lower officials want to get acquainted with adults, not for anything else, they just want to have a backer to speak for the lower officials in the court, so that the position of the lower officials can also sit more stable, after all, it is the lifelong wish of the lower officials to be promoted and make a fortune. I hope that adults will not give up. Liang Pengfei bowed deeply to He Shen, without the slightest expression of embarrassment.

These words are extremely straightforward, but they do say what Liang Pengfei thinks in his heart, and these words also represent the thoughts in the hearts of those officials who send money to He Shen, but no one is as naked as Liang Pengfei.

He Shen still looked at Liang Pengfei, with a meaningful smile on his face, his fingers still tapping lightly on the wooden box, Liang Pengfei lowered his eyebrows with a calm face, looking deferential.

"Hehehe...... knows how to be a man and can do things, no wonder he can get the trust of Fu Dashuai in just over half a year, and he has become a third-grade member of the court from a small battalion garrison. Anyway, in this case, if he doesn't accept it, it will be too bad for you to lose face, and it will not be in line with He's behavior, these Cheng Yi and a certain will accept it, and they should be rewarded in the future. Well, if there is something, you can send someone to ......" He Shen lowered his voice, and after whispering in Liang Pengfei's ear, Liang Pengfei understood, and then, the two of them naturally ate and drank with confidence, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Liang Pengfei, who was satisfied, returned to the house, took the sobering tea handed by Bai Shusheng and poured a large cup, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. "My dad has not rested, there is nothing to do at home today, right?" This question was asked by Sun Shijie, who was waiting for him in the hall, "Mr. and Mrs. Liang have rested, and there is nothing to do at home, but Miss Shi from the south has sent you a letter." Sun Shijie respectfully handed a letter to Liang Pengfei's hand, and sat beside Liang Pengfei by the way.

"Her letter to me?" Liang Pengfei took out the letter paper with doubts and looked at it to understand what was going on, and his thick eyebrows couldn't help but lock, because the news on the letter was indeed not good news. In the letter, Shi Xianggu told Liang Pengfei that the whereabouts of the Zheng family had been discovered, and after Zheng Lianchang found that his lair had been smashed and the treasure had been looted, he did not stay on Lantau Island for long, but only after looting some reserve grain, grass and ammunition supplies, he left Lantau Island on the third day and went straight west.

Recently, it was learned that Zheng Lian Chang took refuge under the command of Nguyen Phuc Anh, a descendant of the Nguyen royal family of Quang Nam who was fighting with Nguyen Van Hue of the Tay Son Dynasty, and was named General Jing Hai by Nguyen Phuc Anh and continued to command his old troops to fight against the Na Tay Son Dynasty.

"I didn't expect this guy to be really decisive enough, a strong man broke his wrist, nothing more than that." After hearing the news on the letter from Liang Pengfei, Sun Shijie couldn't help frowning slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, this Zheng Lianchang is really a hero." Liang Pengfei nodded, stood up, Shi Xianggu had other news in the letter, the Green Flag Gang had already used the excuse of guarding the home for the allies, and sent troops to Lantau Island in advance, but his behavior caused more people to resent it, but now everyone doesn't know whether the Zheng family really entrusted Xu Sanyan, although the Red Flag Gang is now gone, but after all, the strength is still there, if others intend to get involved, when the time comes, who knows what will happen, so those Tan family pirates are still in a wait-and-see situation.

"My lord, this Lantau Island is located at the mouth of the Pearl River, it is a choke point, it can be attacked, retreated can be defended, and it is by virtue of this that the Zheng family can stand tall in Liangguang Shuiyu for more than 100 years. Even if you don't take it from the Governor, you should use your own strength to stand on it. Sun Shijie cleared his throat and said to Liang Pengfei. To be honest, he didn't think Liang Pengfei would be unmoved by such a large piece of fat.

Liang Pengfei shook his head: "I want to too, but now is not the time." Lantau Island is indeed dangerous, but it is deep in the sphere of influence of the Tan family, and it is most likely to be attacked by the enemy, so Zheng Lianchang is a Tan pirate after all, and the area around Aberdeen is full of the power of the Tan family pirates. On the other hand, if I persuade Fukangan to enter Lantau Island, I will also be annoyed by the Tanka pirates, so now I should be watching from the sidelines, rather than rushing into action. ”

"What the Lord said is extremely true, Fang Cai Sun is not thoughtful, but if the Green Flag Gang is allowed to occupy this place, it will become a problem for the adults to guard Xin'an and Nantou in the future."

"It doesn't matter, although Xu Sanyan of the Green Flag Gang also has the ability, but his move is too short-sighted, not to say, he will become the target of everyone, when the time comes, I will secretly help, this Lantau will definitely fall into the hands of the Shi family, at that time, what is the difference between it and the hands of this young master?" Liang Pengfei's face showed a strange smile. "As for that Zheng Lianchang, he actually thought of going to Ruan Fuying, I can only say that his good luck has come to an end, and the Zheng family is about to perish!"

Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Sun Shijie couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Why did your lord say this?" ”
