This promotion doesn't seem to be a big deal, it's just that there is a merit to commend it, but it's not.

First of all, let's talk about this Dengzhou camp. There are two commanders of the same level above the Dengzhou battalion, one is Shandong Bingbeidao and the other is Shandong Beibei. This time is different, after this revision, the Dengzhou battalion skips these two superiors and is directly responsible for the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. The status is the same as that of the water and land battalion, but the difference is that the Dengzhou battalion is not a low-level unit, and there are departments below him. As one of the three major battalions in Shandong, the Dengzhou Battalion has jurisdiction over Dengzhou Wei, Qingzhou Wei, Laizhou Wei and three thousand households in Dengzhou.

This time, due to the pirate attack, the losses were very large, so he directly ordered all the officials in Dengzhouwei and the three thousand households to be swept to the end. In other words, there are no officials left in these organizations. This is all for Zhu Houzhao to make room for them, so that they can easily install people. In the future, as long as there is no war, then as long as the Dengzhou battalion delivers food twice a year on time, they will be free. Generally speaking, a thousand households have to pay about 1,000 stone of grain and materials a year. For example, Dengzhou Wei has to pay 3,000 stone a year. Compared to his land and population, these are really not much.

As long as the time comes to register, the entire Dengzhou battalion will become Dong Qinghai's Dengzhou battalion, to be precise, Zhu Houzhao's Dengzhou battalion, after all, the personnel transferred are all from the land and water battalion, and Zhu Houzhao is still the commander of the land and water battalion.

Of course, this is the good side, and the more troublesome side is Wu Yiheng. The Zhu Houzhao brothers trained him as a naval commander, and now it seems that he will return to land after being promoted. There are still thousands of soldiers of the amphibious battalion who are training in the capital, so we can't leave it alone. Therefore, whether to put Wu Yiheng in Tianjin or Beijing needs to be carefully considered.

It seems that the brothers Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao have gained a lot of benefits from this will, but the effort is not small. For example, the prefect of Dengzhou and several prefects were only demoted this time, and they were not kicked out of the team. The county order of Texas was hung and he did not hold him responsible for escaping, but said that he would rather die than give in if he held on for several days and was unfortunately captured. In short, in this Shandong incident, the image of civil officials was not greatly affected.

The victory of the battle not only depends on the soldiers' hard work, but more importantly, several people in the military department strategize, and the prefects of various counties in Shandong are also "commanding the battle, and making the soldiers have no shortage of weapons and food", so there were two big victories. Such nonsense has already been published in "Ming Pao", but "People's Daily" has not been written. Some readers who can't see the truth clearly can't help but be happy, and it still depends on the readers to govern the country and the world. When the news of the victory reached the capital, the people who participated in the imperial examination were happy, how could such a grand event not drink and write poems to celebrate. As a result, the turnover of the Qinglou restaurants in the capital rose by many percentage points again, which was a victory for the readers.

Zhu Houwei shook his head with a wry smile after hearing this, forget it, let them say go, they can get the actual benefits. Isn't politics based on compromise and exchange?

Did the civil official group lose or win Zhu Houzhao's brothers have the bottom in their hearts, haven't they all assassinated the prince of the country now, if they can't afford to lose, then what is?

One yard is one yard, the murderer behind this assassination still has to be investigated, otherwise if he comes back a few times in the future, the Zhu Houzhao brothers will not have the confidence to guarantee their absolute safety. After all, if you defend it for a long time, you will lose, and there are so many ways to attack, it is impossible to defend it all.

Time passed quickly, and five days passed at once. Dong Qinghai had already set off for Dengzhou, and this time he went to Dengzhou mainly to take up his post as an officer of the land and water battalion in Tianjin. After the agreement of the Zhu Houzhao brothers, it was finally decided to move the navy to Dengzhou. After all, it is the closest to Japan, and dozens of miles north is the mouth of the Bohai Sea, so the geographical location is very important. The islands near Dengju can also be used to build water camps and train the navy. As for Bohai Bay, it is left to the fishing company. The main focus of the land and water battalions was to train a large number of land forces, because naval warfare was not the mainstream in East Asia. Take a step back and say that you really have a naval battle, and you can kill the other side with a musket. The road construction team has now accepted 180,000 workers, plus a family member, a total of more than 300,000 people, so a large number of troops need to be trained to protect them. As for the inland army of the imperial court, it is thankful that they do not harm them, and the border army with combat effectiveness still has to protect the north.

On the sixth day, Shopkeeper Qiu drove a closed four-wheeled carriage to the camp of the land and water camp. After a series of investigations, Zhu Houwei followed and drove directly to the Chinese army's tent. Zhu Houzhao and Ma Sanniang also came to the door of the tent, and the shopkeeper Qiu lifted the curtain, only to see a woman bowing her head slightly and walking out of the carriage. The skin is as white as jade, it can be broken by blowing, the cheeks are ruddy, and it looks very healthy. The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, and the pink lips look fresh and tender. The bridge of the nose is high, it looks dignified and atmospheric, and the eyes are large and bright, but the eyes are a little cold, not intentionally, but by nature. The eyebrows are slender, which looks very suitable for the eyes, and the whole person has a very color without powder. Although there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, he can't hide the coldness and nobility. Wearing a pale yellow long skirt on her body, she is fresh and elegant, with a simple bead hairpin on her head, and the beads are only slightly swinging between actions. This is a woman who can't guess her age, both mature in her twenties and youthful in seventeen or eighteen.

got out of the car, and blessed Zhu Houzhao and the two of them, with a hint of coldness in his hoarse voice, "Wenqing, the queen of the people, has seen two Zhu Gongzi. Then Ma Sanniang, who looked at the unusual person, was not surprised, and calmly blessed Ma Sanniang, "I've seen Miss Ma." ”

Zhu Houwei observed it, and it was very good in all aspects, but he was a little shorter, less than one meter six, but in this era, it was considered to be above average. Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Miss Wang doesn't have to be polite, let's talk inside, please." ”

The group walked into the tent, Zhu Houzhao sat down on the main seat, and the others sat on both sides. Shopkeeper Qiu did not sit, but stood behind Wang Wenqing's side, treating himself as a housekeeper.

Wang Wenqing stood up, looked at Zhu Houzhao, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, a few people met bad people in my food first, but we didn't entertain them well. Today, I am here to make amends. Uncle Qiu"

Qiu Batian took out a box from his arms and handed it to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao didn't open it, and first said, "Miss Wang has something to say, just sit and say." Wang Wenqing just smiled and nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao and the box he was holding.

Zhu Houzhao knew that it would not work if he didn't open it, so he solemnly opened it and took out a few pieces of paper from it. It is written about several leaders of the Luo sect left in Shandong and their positions, as well as the personalities of these leaders.

Zhu Houzhao looked at it a few times, nodded, and said to Wang Wenqing, "We have accepted Miss Wang's gift." The events of the past few days have nothing to do with food first, and we are also grateful that Shopkeeper Qiu stepped forward at a critical moment. Shopkeeper Qiu made a charlatan salute and didn't say anything.

Zhu Houwei didn't bother to go around the bend, and asked directly, "Miss Wang, I don't know what your status is in the White Lotus Sect today?" ”

Wang Wenqing smiled faintly and said, "Chief." ”
