In the letter, he praised Liang Pengfei's role in the Battle of Annan, although He Shen did not say it explicitly, but it can still be seen between the lines that he is quite satisfied with Liang Pengfei's cooperation with He Lin's actions.

Then, the topic changed to this appointment, and He Shen told Liang Pengfei with some regret that although he tried his best to fight, but although Liang Pengfei had made outstanding achievements, he was too short when he joined the office, and he was not full, so he could only be promoted to two levels, and he was directly appointed to the general army beyond the deputy general.

Otherwise, not to mention a one-eyed flower, even a double-eyed flowery feather is possible, and the official position can be moved to the top of the general army. Maybe you can get him the title of Baturu.

Liang Pengfei looked at the letter and grinned vigorously, this brother is really capable of, and Baturu, Lao Tzu dreams all day and night about driving your braided things to the Arctic Circle, but this also shows that He Shen's reputation is okay, at least in terms of accepting bribes, there is the most basic professional truth.

"When the time comes, let someone bring a reply letter, and in addition, make some special antiques from Annan and send them to Lord He, and you must not neglect this Lord He." Liang Pengfei put the letter in his sleeve and instructed the white scholar beside him.

In the next few days, Liang Pengfei was not idle at all, and while recruiting a large number of soldiers, he also tried his best to recruit soldiers from the mainland through Wu Liang, a subordinate who was far away in Guangdong, and then transported them to Annan, and transferred elites from Naxi King Island and the central Luzon Islands to fill the army.

The conditions proposed by Liang Pengfei received a reply half a month later, and the lord of Annan decided to agree to Liang Pengfei's conditions, and even hoped to order a large number of ordnance, because after a long war, although a lot of weapons and ordnance were collected, most of these were collected directly from the battlefield, and even the edges of some swords were almost comparable to saws.

After Phuket-Bao swept through Annam for nearly a month, he was sent out of Annam by the lord of Annam in the posture of sending the plague god, and the chief soldier of Zuojiang Town left Annam contentedly with the 50,000 taels of silver presented by the lord of Annam, as well as the spoils obtained from the month-long purge.

Liang Daguan received a letter from Liang Pengfei, and sent a large number of craftsmen and men to Annan half a month after the Phuket Bao led the army to leave Annam, and under the escort of the soldiers sent by Liang Pengfei, they arrived at Taiyuan and Langshan, both of which produce high-quality coal, and also have huge iron ores, and they are rich ores with extremely high content.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After arriving in the area, they recruited a large number of displaced people displaced by the war, and opened mines and factories on the other hand, striving to generate profits in the shortest possible time, with coal and iron, they could directly produce finished products locally, and then sell them to Annam, or directly to King Crab Island for further processing, or send them to the central Luzon Islands.

And Liang Pengfei asked people to bring a letter to Pan Youdu, but Pan Youdu couldn't come immediately, but he replied to Liang Pengfei and told him that now, he is trying to find a way to get the position of the general merchant, and when he gets the Cai family and ascends to the position of the general merchant, he will definitely come to Annan to discuss with Liang Pengfei in person as soon as possible.

At this time, there was good news from central Luzon, in addition to the smooth construction of the large shipyard, and the rubber tree purchased from the governor of Luzon through the joint efforts of experienced florists, finally broke through the ground and became cute little saplings.

Although Liang Pengfei knew that it would take a lot of effort and time to wait for these little guys to grow up, this still made him very excited.

In addition, the governor of Luzon recruited a lot of talents from Spain, including teachers, doctors, scholars, smelters, and shipbuilders. There were more than 200 people, some of whom were arranged to King Crab Island as needed, and some of them were sent directly to the central Luzon Islands.

Almost all the leaders of the Sailors of the Xishan Army were invited to King Crab Island for further study, and the sailors under their command were scattered and assigned to the King of Crabs Island and Luzon fleets. The first is to prevent them from forming a group, and the second is to allow them to integrate into the group as soon as possible.

However, there is also bad news, that is, the governor of Luzon sent a letter to Liang Pengfei, which was full of worries about Her Royal Highness the princess not returning to Spain for so long, although he tried his best to conceal it, but the news that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess appeared in the East still reached Spain, which made their monarch Carlos IV seem quite angry, and he had already sent a letter to reprimand him, the governor of Luzon, asking him to send Her Royal Highness the princess back to Spain safely no matter what, otherwise, what awaits him will be the anger of His Majesty the King.

Moreover, when the time comes, if His Majesty knows that His Royal Highness the beloved eldest princess is being taken hostage, then, with a high probability, His Majesty will send the incomparably powerful fleet of Spain to the East, and at that time, not only he, the governor of Luzon, will suffer, but even Liang Pengfei will definitely cry in front of the fire of the powerful Spanish fleet.

The messenger who stood in front of Liang Pengfei, bent down respectfully, and carefully raised his eyelids to watch Liang Pengfei's expression change, was full of uneasiness, he was a Spanish businessman, and he was also a relative of the governor of Luzon, but if it weren't for the fact that the honorarium promised by the governor of Luzon was quite generous, he was unwilling to go to this small country in the war to send a letter to Liang Pengfei, who killed people in the Luzon Islands like mowing grass and mustard, and his murder was far and wide.

Seeing that after Liang Pengfei read the letter, his expression was extremely calm, and there seemed to be no change in the slightest, which made the Spanish businessman have a little more doubts in his heart. Still, he tried to make himself appear polite: "Your Excellency the General, Your Excellency the Governor has asked me to bring you a word. ”

"Say it." Liang Pengfei placed the letter on the table and nodded to the Spanish businessman.

"If Her Royal Highness the Princess does not return to Spain, Your Excellency the Governor will report this matter to the Qing Empire as a last resort, and your country will intervene."

"Bastard, you actually dare to threaten my general (young master)?!" Several generals jumped up suddenly, and one or two of them had hideous and fierce faces, like a group of hungry tigers pounced, so Li Xiaoshuang simply pulled out the war knife on his waist directly, and looked at the posture and prepared to play a big chop on the spot.

Seeing that the Spanish businessman was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground, Liang Pengfei raised his hand and waved everyone back. "Sit back for me, what are you doing in a daze? Play too! ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"But young master, this guy actually dares to threaten us, you said that you won't let him get some blood, see and know, and the little ones are worried that they will really think we are soft eggs when the time comes." Li Xiaoshuang put the knife into the sheath stupidly, and still muttered quietly in his mouth. It wasn't until Liang Pengfei glared at him that he returned to his place and sat down.

"Sir, I don't know your name yet?" Liang Pengfei stood up, walked up to the Spanish businessman with a pale face and sweating like rain, and smiled faintly.

"Your Excellency, you can say I'm Cissé." It could be seen that the Monsieur Cisse was quite nervous, rubbing his hat with both hands, and his timid eyes were like a hare in a cage ready to be slaughtered.

"Okay, Mr. Cisse, can I understand that you are threatening me?" Liang Pengfei was still smiling, but in those slightly pleasant pupils, Cisse seemed to see the vulture hovering over the rotting corpse.

The sweat on his forehead seemed to be even more, and Cisse tried to calm down so that his voice and expression would not be distorted: "Your Excellency, please listen to my explanation, you must have misunderstood, this is not a threat to you, but only a reminder, after all, the Governor needs to face the wrath of our King and at the same time, bear the reproach of domestic pressure. In addition, the situation in the colony of Luzon has not been very good for some time, which has made those people start to move, and the governor has a hard time pressing. ”

"Reminder, how did he remind me like that? I would like you to convey to your Excellency the Doge for me, and I would like to remind him that it is best not to do anything that makes me angry, for in that case the twelve thousand Spaniards in Luzon will be reduced to corpses hanging from the walls of Manila, which will be a delicacy to mosquitoes and maggots. I'm not a threat, just a guarantee. Liang Pengfei's voice was not loud, but in the ears of that Cisse, it was like the roar of the thirty-two-pound cannon, deafening.

Liang Pengfei didn't laugh or get angry, but it was this calmness and calmness that made Cisse know very well that General Liang, who only shocked all Spaniards and Luzon natives with bloody facts last time, was indeed not just verbally threatening. Thinking of Liang Pengfei's past deeds. Cisse shuddered, and his originally straight spine bent. "Your Excellency, General, I will definitely convey your words to the Governor, don't worry, I believe that the Governor will never do such a thing."

"Mr. Cisse, don't your Governors have nothing practical other than that letter full of nonsense, and the foolish thing you just told me to hear?" Liang Pengfei shook his head, very uninterested.

From the very beginning, after seeing the threat on the letter, Liang Pengfei knew that the Spanish governor was definitely a fart, and it was the kind that stinks, although Liang Pengfei did not understand the current domestic situation in Spain, but Liang Pengfei roughly understood the situation in Europe from those Western businessmen.
