"Sun Quanmou, the chief soldier of the Zuojiang Town Water Division, was wounded and captured, life and death are unknown, the guerrilla general Huang Biao fought to the death, led the ship directly to take the enemy chieftain, in the chaos of the army, was killed by the enemy's heavy artillery bombardment, Lin Guoliang was in the fierce battle, the enemy was cowardly, and led the three battalions of the water division to retreat in a hurry, but was ambushed by the Zheng family pirates, and the three battalions of the water division, less than half of the people fled back to Qiao. Adjutant General Lin Guangyu and General Qian Bangyan fought fiercely for a day and a night with the Haikou Xu Sanyan in the waters of Dahengqin Island, regardless of victory or defeat, and in the end, Xu Sanyan was defeated by Wang Shi, losing more than 1,000 men, dozens of warships, and fled. Vice Admiral Lin Guangyu was able to suffer a lot of damage to the naval division's battleship, and he did not pursue...... "Sun Shijie read out the official documents, and Liang Pengfei, who had just rushed back to the Xin'an naval division camp, was terrified.

"Liangguang Water Division, after this battle, the elite is almost lost." Liang Pengfei shook his head, such a result was really a bit unexpected by him, how could he not have imagined that the general soldier of Sun who was coaxed by Niu B, who commanded more than 10,000 sailors, met the Zheng family Red Flag Gang with similar troops, and actually fought like this, it was simply to smear a layer of black oil paint on the faces of Zhao Chenglan, the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, and Fu Kangan, the governor of Liangguang.

"Yes, of the eleven sailor battalions, only six can still maintain the structure, the five sailor battalions are almost all lost, and half of the military attachés above the garrison are actually dead, and even the commander has let people be captured, this kind of record is really ......" Sun Shijie also looked disdainful. This is the sailor of the Great Qing Dynasty. ”

"In fact, this is also normal, although it is eleven sailor battalions, according to the system, the strength of each sailor battalion should have a thousand people, but those battalions will not be like us adults, it is normal to eat empty salaries, as little as one or two hundred, as much as three or four hundred, and all aspects of the maintenance of weapons and ships, officials at all levels are trying to make money, those soldiers are also trained for a long time, I am afraid that it is good to be able to go to the sea with fishermen, and the water war ......" Wu Liang, the commander of the battalion, also looked contemptuous.

"However, you should be cautious, my lord." Sun Shijie hesitated for a moment and then spoke to Liang Pengfei.

Liang Pengfei couldn't help but look at Sun Shijie in amazement. "What do you mean by that?"

Wu Liang vaguely understood what was going on: "My lord, this time several elites have been lost, only the adult has won this victory all the way, I am afraid that it will definitely provoke many people......"

Liang Pengfei smiled, his voice was not loud, but it was cold to the bones, and there seemed to be two big knives shining with cold light in his eyes: "I understand, but don't worry, Lao Tzu's merits are obvious, what can they do?" Come in the shade, can't you play towards the court? But don't forget, some people hate me, but some people want to make me a type. ”

Sun Shijie's eyes lit up: "My lord, do you mean Fukangan and Zhao Chenglan?" ”

"Of course it's them, you think, this battle is an order given by these two personally, in this battle, except for my big victory, the other people from all walks of life, either the boss was captured and the pirates were crippled, or they were stopped by the pirates and could not complete the set goal. If you pull me down again, then Fukangan and Zhao Chenglan's faces really don't even have a fig leaf, can they agree? "Liang Pengfei is not stupid, the important thing is that he also knows how to grasp people's hearts.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"A few days ago, my father-in-law sent me the news, the emperor has sent an envoy, the official department of Shangshu, and the co-organizer of the university scholar and Shen to go south to thoroughly investigate the case of the Guangzhou prefect involved in the smuggling of opium. He is just a house slave of the emperor, compared with Fukangan, who is light and who is heavy, the emperor has his own calculations in his heart. ”

Liang Pengfei said this so surely, it was because he was a person who traveled through and understood that Qianlong's feelings for Fukangan, so to speak, as long as Fukangan did not oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, what kind of mistakes were made, this Qianlong would definitely protect Fukangan, who made this Manchu emperor look at this Fukangan very pleasant?

Even the most famous favored minister of the Qianlong Dynasty, He Shen, could only retreat when he met this Fu Dashuai, and tried his best to marry his brother Fu Longan, because he knew that this Fu Dashuai was like his own son in Qianlong's eyes.

"Since the adults are so well versed in powerful joints, Sun Mou is much more relieved, this battle, the victory of our Xin'an Water Division Battalion, can indeed be described as fruitful, not only broke through the Zheng family nest of the Red Flag Gang on Lantau Island, but also captured hundreds of relatives of the Zheng family, even Zheng Lianchang's wife and children, all of them were captured, this merit alone is enough to make the emperor Longyan happy, this Zheng family has been crisscrossing the waters of the two Guangxi for more than 100 years, and has always been the henchman of the court in the two Guangzhous." Sun Shijie also felt that Liang Pengfei's analysis was very reasonable, so he opened his mind and discussed the results of this battle.

"Tell me, with my exploits this time, can I become a guerrilla or a general?" Liang Pengfei's eyes rolled, and he began to plan for promotion and fortune, choking Wu Liang and Sun Shijie half to death.

However, Sun Shijie understood what kind of temper he was as the proprietor, and quickly adjusted his mentality, and after thinking about it, he said with a smile: "With the last record of the adult, he was promoted to the capital division, but it was just a hand-to-hand capture, and now, the two armies are lost, only the adult has won miraculous feats, if he does it properly, I am afraid that it is a general and a guerrilla, but it is just a thought of the emperor." ”

"That's right, what did the Qing Dynasty do to get promoted the fastest? That's the feats of war. The lord is now deeply favored by the Governor of Fu, and he is the person who was personally promoted by the Governor of Fu, and this time he raised his face for the Governor of Fu, and the staff will be sure, guerrilla, and the lower officials think it is possible. Wu Liang also analyzed the problem practically.

Liang Pengfei stood up, paced slowly in the tent, and for a long time, turned his face to look at the two. "You also know that this time, I not only took the Zheng family's lair, but also seized a batch of Zheng family's treasures, if I present this batch of treasures, you say, can I get the position of general?"

"My lord, why do you care so much about the promotion of official positions?" Sun Shijie couldn't help but ask, Liang Pengfei's performance now is simply an official fan.

"Because I want to have more power, more freedom, to be able to control more power. God is running out of time for me. Liang Pengfei seemed to be talking to himself, and he was confiding in his henchmen, hearing that Sun Shijie and Wu Liang's hearts were beating wildly, and their faces changed several times.

In this way, although it is a metaphor, but there is a naked danger in his bones, Liang Pengfei's ambition is not just as simple as promotion, Wu Liang and Sun Shijie had such a thought in their minds at the same time, they glanced at each other, and they both looked away, this news was really a bit shocking.

Staying under Liang Pengfei's hands for a long time, both of them vaguely felt that Liang Pengfei, who had a little good impression of the court and owed the court, seemed to be planning some major events that were likely to raid the family and exterminate the clan, but they gradually understood Liang Pengfei's true strength, and after having so much power and territory outside the Qing Kingdom, they had some faint expectations in their hearts, but they also tacitly did not mention it, because, now they really don't see any hope, and today, Liang Pengfei's words couldn't help but make their hearts sudden, could it be that this scheming young man who spoke like a thousand-year-old ghost couldn't help it after all?

Liang Pengfei didn't continue, and after a pause, he opened his mouth again: "In this battle, a total of 6.2 million taels of silver from the Zheng family's treasure were seized, tens of thousands of other treasures and antiques, and nearly 6 million taels of silver, and I am ready to hand them all over to Governor Fu, but when Sun Shijie drafted an official document for me, he said that 4.5 million taels of silver were seized, and there is no need to count the treasures and antiques, as for the silver, I will take away 6 million taels, and the remaining 200,000 taels, As the welfare of the soldiers and officers of the Xin'an Navy Division, the benefits will be distributed, and for the war dead, they will be given heavy pensions, understand? ”

"Don't worry, the little ones will definitely handle this matter properly." Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Sun Shijie could only admire the five-body cast, Liang Pengfei was not only ruthless, but also his subordinates were black enough, one smash was one and a half million taels of silver, as for those treasures and antiques, leave them to the Fu Dashuai to choose, and then hand them over, such a bribe, such a shrewd and capable, and brave to do things, and give himself a face to his subordinates, if he is not guaranteed, if he does not want to help, unless he is a poor child with a mentally retarded brain.

"Mr. Wu Qian, the two of you will set off immediately, rush to Guangzhou to report the situation here, and ask the Governor to send troops to escort the Zheng family to Guangzhou, I don't want to make any mistakes on the road." Liang Pengfei's eyes rolled, and he commanded Wu Liang again. Although he won this battle, the strength of the Zheng family was not damaged, who knows if they will patrol the Pearl River waterway and rob their relatives, so Liang Pengfei would rather be safer, and at this time he can't take any more risks.

"The subordinate obeys." Wu Liang hurriedly got up and responded.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After watching these people leave the camp tent, Liang Pengfei sat on a chair, took the cigar handed by Bai Shusheng, lit the cigar for himself by Monk Chen, and after smashing a few big sips, he leisurely spewed out a fragrant smoke. There are some things, Liang Pengfei still didn't say everything, just like this seizure, the more than 6.2 million taels of silver, just a fraction, in fact, Liang Pengfei and his son in the Zheng family's treasure loot more than 26 million taels of silver, as well as 5 million taels of gold, those treasures and antiques are countless, Liang Pengfei and his son naturally intercepted some of the fine treasures and antiques first, and the rest was handed over as the trophies captured by Liang Pengfei, naturally, all the five million taels of gold were left, 20 million taels of silver were also deducted, and 6.2 million taels were paid, which was already worthy of people.

Together, these two items are enough to exceed 10 million taels of silver, such a big hand, let alone Fukangan, even if Emperor Qianlong heard such news, he couldn't help but be happy. You must know that the Qing Dynasty's annual tax is only more than 50 million taels, Liang Pengfei did this account, not only did not lose money, but earned tens of millions of taels for the court, which is equivalent to 20% of the national tax revenue, how they don't like it, compared with the failure of Sun Quanmou and others, Liang Pengfei's achievements can indeed be called dazzling.

"The lord has just delivered the news, everything has been settled, in addition, three million taels of silver have been transferred to the central Luzon Islands, in order to recruit craftsmen, speed up the construction there, and hire those Spanish technicians, let the gold mines there start as soon as possible, then the burden on our side will be reduced, in addition, a thousand young people have been transferred from the Luzon immigrants to go to King Crab Island to learn various knowledge and skills, in addition, the Xiyi teachers we hired through the governor of Luzon are also all in place, at present, Ten additional classes have been opened on King Crab Island......" Bai Shusheng only reported the latest news from King Crab Island to Liang Pengfei at this time.

Liang Pengfei nodded: "Okay, as long as you can find a teacher, it's easy to do, if the translation is not enough, just select some trustworthy interpreters from the Liang clan in Guangzhou, by the way, those who go to King Crab Island If they want, they will also take their families together, if they don't want to, their salaries will be doubled." In addition, their families, we will take care of them, so that people can do things for us with peace of mind. ”

"Okay, there is another thing, the lord said, all kinds of infrastructure construction on those crab king islands are almost the same now, the more than 1,000 Spanish prisoners of war young master you are still useful, but what should we do with the thousands of pirate prisoners of war?"

"Pick some of them for me who are honest and obedient and have special skills to stay, and send the rest to the central Luzon Islands, where it is always said that there is a shortage of labor? In addition, if the gold mines start to be mined, the labor will be even more strained, and these thousands of people will be able to solve these problems for a while. Liang Pengfei said with a smile, he didn't have any sympathy for these Western pirates, and squeezing all their surplus value was what Liang Pengfei liked to do the most, because these pirates didn't know how much Chinese blood they had on their hands, and if they were disposed of, it would already be cheaper for them.

"And one more thing, that Sister Maria asked the little one to pass you a letter." Liang Pengfei quietly came forward at this time and presented the letter to Liang Pengfei's hand. After carefully reading the contents of the letter, Liang Pengfei scratched his scalp, Her Royal Highness Princess Maria seemed to be a little tired of staying on King Crab Island, and also saw that Liang Pengfei did not mean to abuse and harm those Spanish prisoners of war, but hired those prisoners of war in the way of mercenaries, which made her let go of the last trace of worry, so this Princess Maria wanted to leave King of Crab Island in the name of going to the mainland and seeing the mysterious East with her own eyes.

"By the way, my dad didn't see anything, did he?" Liang Pengfei lowered his voice with some weakness.

Bai Shusheng couldn't help grinning: "Young master, what kind of character is the master, how can he not even see this kind of thing?" But the old man said, your own affairs, young master, you handle it yourself, as long as you can settle evenly, even if you marry a hundred wives, his old man has no opinion, that is, it is best to add more children and grandchildren to the old Liang family, and spread the branches......"

Listening to Bai Shusheng's words, the black line on Master Liang's face, I damn it, he can imagine in his mind that his father's old face is putting on a bitter look and is constantly nagging. A hundred wives, according to my father's idea, don't do anything by myself, just be a pedestrian self-propelled seeder.

"Okay, okay, I already know what my dad meant. Well, since she wants to come over, it's not impossible, but let's wait for me to come back from Guangzhou, and then buy a house in Xin'an County and let her settle there, it shouldn't be a big problem. "To be honest, Liang Pengfei also thinks about this beautiful Yanma with a bewitching surname, cough cough, it should be said that there is an exotic beauty.

Seeing Bai Shusheng's obscene face, Liang Pengfei couldn't help but glare at this guy. "Okay, let Lao Tzu do all these things, by the way, after Sun Shijie counts the silver and treasures that have been transported, let Wu Qianjin send them to Guangzhou first, and send them directly to the Liangguang Governor's Mansion, it's better to do things in a more concealed way, don't let me rob them halfway." As for the prisoners who are now being detained in Xin'an County, I will wait for news from Mr. Wu Qian, and then I will follow the army that came to escort me back to Guangzhou. ”

"Young master, don't worry, the little ones will definitely take care of things for you." Bai Shusheng nodded and smiled.

"By the way, there is one more thing, turn around, hand the news to Miss Shi, and tell her that when my side is done, I will personally come to the door to meet her father, this time, her father has no reason to stop us again." Liang Pengfei thought of Shi Xianggu with a big belly, Liang Pengfei felt pain in his heart, as if there were seventeen or eighteen monkeys scratching in the middle, and his daughter-in-law didn't know if it was good now, and the child in his belly didn't know what was going on.

Bai Shusheng and Monk Chen, who had already acquiesced to the identity of Shi Xianggu as their own young lady, couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw the young master's widowed expression. "Young master, don't worry, if that old man Shi dares to stop him again, it's a big deal to rob people, who has our old Liang family been afraid of?" Monk Chen said in a sullen voice.

"Okay, okay, we're Sven people, not bandits, your young master, I'm marrying a daughter-in-law, not robbing Mrs. Zhai, okay with a little quality? Don't fight and kill all day long, there are few people like the young master and me, who are knowledgeable and courteous, alas, ......" Liang Pengfei glanced at Monk Chen angrily. It was as if he had really become this polite gentleman, not a thug who wanted to rob, kill, and set fire with a knife at every turn.

"......" heard the young master's brazen boasting, and Bai Shusheng and Monk Chen could only roll their eyes wordlessly.
