In 1793, the 58th year of Qianlong, this year, a lot of things happened, but for the court that was closed and self-defending, they only remembered the ten perfect martial arts of Qianlong, the Manchu king, and the conquest of Gurkha, so that he called the minister and the tribute, raised the king's righteous teacher, and helped the lord of Li to restore the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the south of Annan...... All in all, in a word, singing and dancing that shengping, drunk and dreaming of death, is nothing more than that.

In the south, in the city of Guangzhou, a new master was ushered in, the new governor of Liangguang Changlin, whose arrival made Guo Shixun, the acting governor who had been conscientiously managing the affairs of Liangguang for nearly a year, very dissatisfied, but he did not dare not bird the new top boss.

Moreover, the new Guangzhou general Fuchang also arrived in Guangzhou with Changlin, and when the crown prince Shaobao, the governor of Liangguang Changlin, and the Guangzhou general Fuchang arrived in Guangzhou, it was already early winter, and it was only half a month before the British envoys occupied Manila, and less than two months before the British launched a war of aggression against China. It's just that among these people, except for Liang Pengfei, they don't know anything about what happened in Nanyang, which can't but be said to be a ridiculous thing, at least that's what Liang Pengfei thinks.

In order to congratulate the new governor of Liangguang and the general of Guangzhou, a grand welcome banquet was held in the Liangguang governor's palace.

Among the generals present, there were as many as eight generals on land and water, four by water, four by land, plus two admirals, and a general of Guangzhou, and some deputy generals and the like, which accounted for three or four tables, but there were also a lot of civil officials, of course, there were a lot of famous gentry in Guangzhou, no way, since there was a new governor and a general, everyone came to join in the fun, and they were familiar, which was inevitable.

"Come on, everyone, let's do it first." Wang Shouli, the admiral of the navy, had been drunk and sweaty at this time, and he had only sat in the position of the admiral of the navy for less than a year, but Wang Shouli had already gained a lot of weight, and his original vigorous and majestic figure now seemed to be a little bloated.

However, this can only prove that this Admiral Wang is indeed nothing, Annan's problem has been solved, Cai is in Fujian and Zhejiang, and he is a, now, after the Western opium smuggling was repeatedly attacked by his own love Liang Pengfei, the sea in Guangdong is calm, and those who originally liked to make trouble and turned the Pearl River Estuary and the Guangdong sea upside down seem to have disappeared, and they are a lot more honest.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

However, in the eyes of Wang Shouli and the officials of the two Guangzhous, all this is because of Liang Pengfei's murderous reputation. His subordinates hardly had a living mouth, which was a point of view unanimously agreed by the officials of the two Guangxi provinces and the generals in the army.

In the last case of the prefect of Guangzhou, there were more than 300 heads, and then, when he arrived in Annan, this guy actually won more with less, and moreover, it was completely annihilated, and more than 5,000 heads fell to the ground immediately.

Next, it was not much after returning to Guangzhou, Cai Lian's attack on the British envoy occurred, and Guangdong naturally sent Liang Pengfei, a brave and warlike general, to go out, but the pirates had not yet begun to clean up, and repaired a smuggler, and it was all annihilated...... Before, Yu Yonaguni Island encircled and suppressed the Cai Lian pirate group, but it was still completely annihilated...... When I thought of Liang Pengfei's bloody military exploits, whether it was the officials of Liangguang and Guangzhou, or the sailors of Fujian and Zhejiang who had worked with him, they were all in a cold sweat.

Think about the fate of those who had conflicts with Liang Pengfei, the Guangzhou prefect committed suicide in a daze, this is an official statement, but in fact, the true situation of the case has already spread throughout the official class of Liangguang, and it is naturally inseparable from this guy.

In the background, the superintendent of Guangdong Customs, Erdenbu, also looked down on Liang Pengfei very unpleasantly, and as a result, because of the smuggling case, he was given suicide, claiming that he died of illness, but there was no secret between the officials of the two Guangzhou, so everyone knew the truth very well.

There is also the son of Cai Shiwen, the former general merchant of the Thirteen Banks, and he Liang Pengfei once had a fight on the street, although this guy smoked the son of the Cai family, but what was the result?

Liang Pengfei's father-in-law squeezed into the position of chief merchant, and in less than two months, Shi Zhonghe, a merchant with a close relationship with the Cai family, owed a huge amount of money to foreign businessmen and was forced to sell his property to repay. However, the family's insolvency was nearly 600,000 taels. The imperial court ordered Shi Zhonghe to be imprisoned, and then sent to Ili.

And Cai Shiwen, the general merchant of the Thirteen Banks, committed suicide because he still owed more than 500,000 taels after the debt was repaid with his debts. The debts were initially planned to be recovered by various merchants, but Cai's family fled one after another. In the end, the debt fell on Lu Guanheng, a Guangli businessman who was closely related to him.

At this time, it was Pan Youdu who stood up, and now, between Lu Guanheng, Ye Shanglin, and Pan Youdu of Guangli Bank, a group of extremely close concerns has been formed. The three of them accounted for almost half of the trade volume of the thirteen lines.

Although this matter has nothing to do with Liang Pengfei, besides, Liang Pengfei does not have the spirit to compete with a businessman, but in the eyes of the officials of Liangguang, it is a different impression.

Secretly, in the evaluation of Liang Pengfei by officials from Guangxi and Guangxi and officials from Fujian and Zhejiang, in addition to being brave and good at fighting and brave in doing things, he naturally has a bad reputation for being cruel and easy to kill, and he will be revenged. Because of this, and Liang Pengfei has been in the army for a long time, almost no one is willing to get too close to him except for Wang Shouli and other limited officials and generals. After all, everyone is very self-hypnotic: good shoes don't step on stinky shit.

However, the generals of the Guangdong Navy Division still have a good impression of this generous and always generous Liang Zongbing, and Guo Shixun and others have a very good impression of him, after all, in this era when the army has been decayed and military discipline is sloppy, it is still a lot less headache to have such a tiger general to guard the Liangguang sea area.

"Brother, this time I went out to the South Seas, and I went for two months, but I really worked hard for you, come, brother, I will toast you." Wang Shouli stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and picked up the wine glass again.

Liang Pengfei was already looking bitter at the moment, although he thought that the amount of alcohol was okay, but the problem was that he couldn't stand the repeated attacks of these ruffians in the army who usually said that in addition to drinking alcohol, he gambled and played with women, so he had to smile bitterly and beg for mercy: "My old brother, let's spare my little brother, and if I drink it again, I really have to play under this table." ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"You can't say that, the sea surface of the province should be the responsibility of our sailor soldiers, in the past, all the old brothers have worked hard, and the younger brother has been in the water for more than a year and a half, so naturally the younger brother should also go on such a journey, this is nothing, speaking of which, to be able to run more at sea, this body still feels a lot more alive." Liang Pengfei drank it all, poured wine for Wang Shouli and the generals present, and said with a smile.

"It's worthy of being a man on the sea, just one word, show your true character as a hero, come, brother, brother, I will also toast you." Next to him, Pu Zhigao, the chief soldier of the Jieshi Town Water Division, raised the cup in front of Liang Pengfei, which provoked Liang Pengfei to beg for mercy again and again, and everyone laughed. But I heard someone next to me coughing dryly twice.

Several people stopped frolicking, and after turning their heads to see the people who were coming, they all quickly stood up: "The humble post (the last general) is to see the Governor and General Fu." ”

The people who came were the new governor of Liangguang, Changlin, and the new general of Guangzhou, Fuchang. Both of them stood at the table with wine glasses in their hands, smiling. Changlin stroked the long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Hehe, this governor wanted to drink with you, but I didn't expect it, but it disturbed the interest of the generals. ”

"Don't dare, I'll wait for Qiu Ba to be like this, and I hope that the governor and General Fu will not be weird." Wang Shouli still didn't dare to make any big deals, and replied respectfully.

After some cold noise, Liang Pengfei and others hurriedly filled their cups and drank with the two bigwigs. At this time, Changlin didn't mean to leave, and looked at Liang Pengfei carefully, when he was just introduced, Changlin's eyes stared at Liang Pengfei a little hairy, and now, Changlin's eyes made Liang Pengfei feel like he wanted to kick people, "Is this old guy a glass?" The cranky Liang Pengfei suddenly had goosebumps on his body.

"After the banquet is over, please ask the generals to stay for the time being, the governor has official business, and I want to discuss with you." After looking at Liang Pengfei for a few moments, Changlin smiled and dropped such a sentence, turned around and left the table, leaving Liang Pengfei and the others with puzzled faces.

"Official business? I said, what the hell is this governor doing, he just entered Guangzhou today, and he is only half full of wine and food, so he is going to talk about official business? Next to him, a deputy general of the Navy Division looked inexplicable, and he picked up the wine glass with some reluctance, and put it down with a sigh, since the new governor has official business to discuss, then this wine can't be drunk. Otherwise, there would be no need to talk about official business, but the new governor and the general of Guangzhou would enjoy a vote of drunks performing performance art in front of them with their bare buttocks.

"Since that's the case, then don't drink it, anyway, the brothers have the opportunity to get together, come and come, eat vegetables, this abalone is really good." Liang Pengfei didn't think about it so much, it was useless to think about it anyway, the most important thing was that Changlin's expression made him feel that things were weird.

But one thing is certain, since Changlin is looking for a sailor, even if the matter is related to himself, it will only be related to the sailor, Liang Pengfei believes that his reputation is not to the point of fame at home and abroad, so there is nothing to worry about.

But when they entered the back hall after the banquet was over, Changlin actually raised his hand and took out a holy decree, which made Liang Pengfei and other generals know the seriousness of the matter.
