Chapter 80: The Imperial Invitation
Xianfeng, Yi Guiren, Princess Shou'an Gulun, and Prince Yi Zaiyuan looked at Lin Haijiang almost dumbfounded, Xianfeng didn't even notice when one of the chopsticks in his hand fell, and the little eunuch who had replaced a pair of ivory chopsticks didn't dare to say anything while holding the chopsticks beside him.
The chief manager Baode has been in Ouchi for decades, and he has never seen such a presumptuous and unruly courtier? Do you really think this is your home? The emperor asked you to eat, are you really willing to let it go? You must know that there are not no courtiers who eat recklessly in front of the Qing emperors of previous dynasties, but what people eat is usually things that the emperor does not move, such as elbows, ham, pig's trotters or something!
Where is there such a way to eat? The so-called palace dishes are actually the essence of the major cuisines, although there are many dishes, but the amount is not large, many dishes Lin Haijiang will give a pot in a few mouthfuls, only the tofu or radish and melon fruit carving of the side dishes are left.
Princess Shou'an Gulun has been watching Lin Haijiang, she didn't believe the rumors about Lin Haijiang before, the Qing Dynasty did too many fake things, and 10,000 people could defeat the 200,000 bandits? In the eyes of Princess Shou'an Gulun, it is a big joke.
Maybe it's a natural disaster [***] The Qing Dynasty really needs a victory, so she has to turn a blind eye, she hasn't seen Lin Haijiang's soldiers, but she has seen the Mongolian warriors of Seng Lingqin, 200,000 bandits are a sea of people! Even 10,000 Mongolian iron horsemen may not be able to succeed, and Lin Haijiang still has some more or less bookish energy.
Just thinking about it, Bao Detong preached: "The king of Horqin County, the counselor minister, Seng Greenqin, asks to see!" ”
Xianfeng hesitated, this time he went to Tianjin to meet Prince Yi Zaiyuan, inspected the Tianjin camp, but did not summon the general Prince Hui Mianyu and the counselor minister Seng Lingqin, it is estimated that this will really be unbearable, so he came to ask for a meeting.
For this reason, Xianfeng glanced at Lin Haijiang very happily, thinking that now I also have fierce generals, and finally I don't have to rely on these arrogant and domineering guys, and I will train elite soldiers for the time!
Lin Haijiang is a Han Chinese, which makes Xianfeng very entangled, although Lin Haijiang is a fierce general, but Prince Yi Zaiyuan and the governor of Liangguang Ye Mingchen are really praising Lin Haijiang for being able to train troops, with elite soldiers, are you worried about not being able to win the battle?
From the bottom of his bones, Xianfeng still prefers to put Lin Haijiang in a position that is both important and unimportant, and can train himself more elite soldiers, but he is not in charge of the army, so he finally gave Lin Haijiang a top commander of the two Guangzhou Water Divisions.
After all, the sailor is not Lu Ying, so he is relatively relieved, so Xianfeng straightened his body and said: "Pass!" ”
However, after a while, a middle-aged man with a sturdy but not tall stature and a slightly short figure walked into the hall with strong steps, lifted his robe and said loudly: "The king of Horqin County, the counselor and minister Monk Greenqin see the emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”
"Aiqing is free of courtesy, come to give me a seat, and drink a cup with me!" The smile on Xianfeng's face was very strong.
In Lin Haijiang's opinion, the famous monk Grinqin is indeed a little unimpressive, but this also verifies the sentence that people cannot be good-looking, Monk Grinqin is a native of Horqin, Mongolia, and the Borzigit clan. He is the step-son of Emperor Daoguang's sister, Daoguang attacked the prince of Horqin County in the fifth year, and the Mongolian capital, his arrogance is naturally not ordinary, which is far from such a lord Lin Haijiang who made up his mind from the beginning.
Before Monk Greenqin sat down, Princess Tongshou Angulun, Prince Yi Zaiyuan, Yi Guiren and others greeted each other, looked around for a week, and then took Lin Haijiang's hand and said with a smile: "This is Lin Haijiang, the commander of the two Guangshui Divisions who pacified the 200,000 flood bandits and rebels in a joke, Lord Lin?" ”
Lin Haijiang hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Your Excellency Counselor, you have praised it, you should benefit the official side, and it is a matter of duty to protect the territory and the people, and there is no merit at all." ”
Monk Lingqin pretended to sigh and continued: "It is rumored that Lord Lin is ten thousand people? Is there a husband who has the courage to open up? I don't know if it's like this! ”
Lin Haijiang didn't expect that Monk Greenqin would look for him in front of Xianfeng? So he was slightly stunned.
Monk Lingqin said in a strange manner: "I led tens of thousands of troops to fight fiercely with the bandits on the outskirts of Tianjin, and repeatedly fought with their lives, but this bandit has become vulnerable in Guangdong?" Isn't it a fictitious thing? Think that the emperor is not familiar with military affairs, so he will wait for his hands to deceive the emperor? ”
In the face of Seng Greenqin's sudden questioning, Xianfeng's face looked very bad, Lin Haijiang suddenly realized that in history, Monk Greenqin was changing the law in Tianjin to increase his bargaining chips, so that Xianfeng felt the crisis of the Northern Expedition, so that he asked for money for money, and grain for food.
Lin Haijiang's battle to seize the city in Guangzhou has actually seriously changed history, and the Hong Soldiers' Rebellion, which has been a disaster in history for many years, has been completely quelled in just a dozen days, so it has naturally become a sharp contrast with the passive sabotage of the monk Greenqin.
Now Seng Greenqin can't stand it, no one dares to accuse Xianfeng of how, how, and can't go to Prince Yi Zaiyuan's bad luck, so Monk Greenqin and Prince Hui Mianyu discussed and took Lin Haijiang to open the knife, because with less than 10,000 people to pacify such a huge bandit, this is obviously a bit too outrageous.
If it is said that there are 30,000 or 50,000 bandit monks who are still alive, they believe it, but these 200,000 are too eye-catching, and they are ten times worse than the 20,000 bandits on the outskirts of Tianjin.
So Monk Greenqin and Prince Hui Mianyu decided to muddy the water, as for offending Prince Yi Zaiyuan, he could only say that he would slowly mend the relationship later, as for speaking disrespectfully in front of the emperor, the emperor still had to rely on his Mongolian iron horse, so Monk Greenqin believed that Xianfeng would not blame him, but would reward him.
As a result, Seng Lingqin did everything he could, but he didn't understand what kind of character Lin Haijiang was? Lin Haijiang smiled and drank all the wine in the cup and said: "Since Lord Monk Greenqin compares your Mongolian iron cavalry, this matter involves the honor and military merits of my martial artists, and the subordinate has no choice but to offend and offend!" ”
Lin Haijiang's words made Monk Greenqin frown, Lin Haijiang said frankly with an expressionless face: "The brave battalion I trained is according to the fighting method of the Western-style army, equipped with the most advanced weapons in the West today, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth one to ten, since Lord Monk Greenqin's Mongolian iron cavalry is also a warrior with one to ten, and now Lord Monk Greenqin still thinks that we have taken the risk of merit to ask for rewards to deceive the emperor, this is the biggest insult to the soldiers who died in the battlefield, it just so happens that the emperor and Prince Yi are also present, I will send a hundred guards, is it good for you to have five hundred fine horses?" ”
Monk Greenqin looked at the angry Lin Haijiang, and hated this in his heart!
Prince Yi Zaiyuan shouted hello beside him, turned to Xianfeng and saluted: "The minister thinks this idea is good, so he has set up a firearms camp, and the camp is wide enough for cavalry, and the ministers of the court can be invited to watch the battle together." ”
After Prince Yi finished speaking, he glanced meaningfully at Monk Lingqin and said: "The minister is adding a lottery, how about 30,000 taels of silver to win the Lin Admiral?" ”
Xianfeng didn't think about it and said: "Quasi-play, I come to sit in the village, and the brave men in the north and south of the firearms camp will teach you well!" The winner will be rewarded! ”
Monk Lingqin was stunned on the spot, he never expected that it would be such a result, Prince Yi Zaiyuan turned around and left after taking Lin Haijiang to give a salute, and Xianfeng also took Yi Guiren back to the garden to listen to the play.
Princess Shou'an Gulun walked up to Monk Greenqin and sighed lightly: "It's very unwise to say this move today! Lin Haijiang can live in Prince Yi's backyard, so Lin Haijiang is not an idle person, don't be careless. ”
Yes? Monk Greenqin was shocked and hurriedly thanked him, after Princess Shou'an Gulun left, Monk Greenqin looked at Lin Haijiang's distant back and hated itchy, saying that the southerners were flexible and clever, how could they meet such a brave and ruthless person today? Moreover, Lin Haijiang actually entered Beijing to live not in a post station, but in the backyard of Prince Yi's mansion, why didn't anyone say anything about such an important news in advance?
If he had known in advance that this Lin Haijiang and Prince Yi had such a deep relationship, Monk Lingqin would definitely not have taken Lin Haijiang.
Originally, I thought that a newly promoted admiral of the Navy would not dare to offend Prince Hui and himself, as long as the other party did not speak, he was in a few words, and both sides ended up happy, and he and Prince Hui also recorded a favor with each other, but this two hundred and five himself just threw a stone in the past, and the other party bombarded the sky with a backhand.
That's it! Monk Greenqin stomped his foot violently, he also had to go back to draw elite warriors, and the duel after the second day was absolutely unloseable.
Will you lose? Monk Lingqin felt that Princess Shou'an Gulun was a little worried today, and the great thing was the musket, five hundred people against one hundred, and he would win.
