Chapter 354: Knighthood (Part II)

"Congratulations to Lord Hong, Lord He Xihong!"

Wei Guangwei walked over and laughed loudly. Hong Shiki hurriedly walked a few steps and bowed down.

"How can the lower official be virtuous, the old man of the Labor Pavilion is here, the lower official deserves death for this crime!"

"Hey, Lord Hong is too polite, you can afford it!"

Hong Fu's face was full of questions, although he received the political envoy and became one of the Great Nine Secretaries, he knew very well that he was able to come up because of the merits of his student Zhang Ke, who was a teacher and a student. In terms of strength and prestige, he is not even as good as an ordinary squire. People look down on him, he simply doesn't have a hot face and a cold ass, he just handles the things within his part, and then communicates with Liaodong, and doesn't care about anything else.

Wei Guangwei had just ascended to the throne of a university scholar and was a hot figure, and his sudden visit really scared Hong Shiki.

"Pavilion Lao, please go inside!"

Hong Fu led the way in front, and as he walked, he thought that he had nothing worth visiting, and he was a baby apprentice who had done something good.

By the way, more than a month ago, I heard that Zhang Ke led his troops to Changsheng Island, didn't he win Jiannu again? Peek at Wei Guangwei's expression, I'm afraid the victory will not be enough!

Strongly suppressing the excitement, Hong Fu invited Wei Guangwei to the main hall and sat down as guests.

"Hahaha, Lord Hong, let's get straight to the point, and don't say anything, Changsheng Island just sent good news."

"Oh? Dare to ask the elder pavilion, but Zhang Yongzhen won the battle again? ”

"That's right, it's still a big victory, do you want to know?"

Yes, of course!

"Ge Lao, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and sue the official!"

Wei Guangwei smiled slowly: "It's not a big deal - it's just that the old chief was killed!" ”

"It's not—no, who's dead?"

Hong Shiki almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, staring at Wei Guangwei in horror.

"Hahaha, Lord Hong, your disciple is not simple, kill the lord of the Dajin country, and remove the big trouble for the imperial court. The emperor and the cabinet were overjoyed. ”

It's not just them, even Hong Fuyi is almost crazy.

As a native of Liaodong, what he hopes most is to recover his homeland and destroy Houjin. Now that the old slave is dead, it is equivalent to taking the most powerful step towards the goal, how can he not be happy. Especially the one who killed the old slave was his beloved apprentice, and he was even more happy.

"Ge Lao, such a big victory, why don't you immediately announce it to the world and celebrate it with the whole world?" Hong Shiki hurriedly asked.

Wei Guangwei was not busy, and said with a smile: "Lord Hong, the old chief is the lord of a country, and the relationship is too great. Zhang Shaobao's report alone can't be confirmed, if we just announce it to the world, the old chief will come back from the dead, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous. ”

Hong Shiki finally calmed down, and there is indeed such a saying.

"Elder Ge, since this is the case, the lower official wants to ask for a will, and immediately go to Changsheng Island, on the one hand, to reward the three armies and appease the soldiers, and on the other hand, to investigate the details and find out the life and death of the old chief!"

"Just wait for this sentence!"

After getting Zhang Ke's report, the cabinet wanted to send someone to investigate the authenticity. But the ordinary petty officials are not enough, but those old men are very sorry for their lives, and the life and death of the vast sea are uncertain, and no one wants to go.

After thinking about it, only Hong Fu is enough, and he has a teacher-student friendship with Zhang Ke, which is the most suitable.

Hong Fuyi really went to the road and took the initiative to answer the errand, and Wei Guangwei was very satisfied. He did not leave in a hurry, but sat and drank tea slowly.

But Hong Fuyi was not in his mind, thinking about what would happen to Liaodong if the wild boar skin died, and then he was thinking about what to prepare to reward the army, all of which were all chaotic.

"Lord Hong...... Lord Hong! ”

"Ahh Pavilion elder, the lower official is rude! The old man flushed.

Wei Guangwei gave him a look, and Hong Shiwei hurriedly waved his hand, asking all the subordinates on both sides to withdraw.

"Ge Lao, if you have any advice, please make it clear!"

"Lord Hong, it's not a secret, the old man can sit in this position, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Shaobao's help."

As soon as these words came out, Hong Shiki's eyes almost fell out, he thought that Zhang Ke only had such a line as himself in the capital, and at most there were people from the inner court, but he never imagined that the cabinet scholars were all pulled over, this kid is okay!

"Hey, Lord Hong, Zhang Shaobao has made outstanding achievements, and there is no one in the world to compare. You must know that when the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow. ”

Hong Shi frowned deeply, thinking about Wei Guangwei's words.

"Ge Lao, Yongzhen has offended the Donglin Party, but the emperor, as well as the inner court, all trust Yongzhen, and his merits are known to the world......"

Wei Guangwei shook his head disappreciatively, as the so-called position determines the size of his vision. Since entering the cabinet, Wei Guangwei has really been able to look at the Liaodong issue from an overall perspective.

"Lord Hong, you know the expenditure of the imperial court in recent years, Liaodong alone accounts for eighty percent of the military spending, and the other nine sides, as well as Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places, are constantly in chaos, and everyone is staring at Liaodong! Zhang Shaobao has won consecutive battles, and he is the pillar of Liaodong, so he naturally has to rely on him. But if the old slave was killed, the situation would be very different! ”

"Unload the mill and kill the donkey!"

Four words quickly flashed in Hong Shixi's mind, the Ming Dynasty has always been strict against military generals, if the old slave is killed, the henchmen are in great trouble, and the lover will become a thorn in the eye of the Chinese official, or even the emperor!

There has always been no good end to the meritorious masters, think about the heroes of the founding of the country, Yu Shaobao, Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang...... Hong Shiki was covered in a cold sweat, and the original joy was gone, only cold sweat was drenched.

"Hey......" Hong Fu let out a long sigh and bowed deeply to Wei Guangwei.

"Ge Lao, thank you for waking up, our master and apprentice are grateful for your great kindness!"

"Hmm." Wei Guangwei accepted the salute calmly, and then sighed: "Lord Shaobao's credit is too great, his subordinates are like clouds, and the imperial court will not have any radical actions for a while, but most of them will be overpowered, and please take precautions as soon as possible." ”

After Wei Guangwei finished explaining, he hurriedly left Hong Fuyi's mansion, and after a while, Hong Fuyi was appointed as the minister of Qincha Xuanfu. Immediately rushed to Dengzhou, and under the protection of the Denglai Naval Division, he carried 50,000 stone of military rations to Changsheng Island to reward the three armies.

The fleet moved extremely fast, and it took less than five days to reach the sea off Changsheng Island.

Far away, they saw corpses floating over from time to time on the sea, and the sailors were startled and hurriedly salvaged them, but when they looked closely, they were all dead for a long time, and the wounds on their bodies were hideous. If it weren't for the cold sea, I'm afraid it would have rotted long ago.

"Look, my lord, this guy looks like a Tartar!" The soldier shouted in surprise.

Hong Shiki's face was gloomy, and when he glanced at it, he was sure to have a money rat tail on his head, and then looked at his face, not a single eyeball was gone, and only a black hole remained.

Well, the acid water gushed out of his stomach, and Hong Shiki endured it and didn't spit it out.

The closer you get to Changsheng Island, the more corpses there are, and it is clear that Hong Shiki is also clear, these are all people who died in the battle between the disciples and the Tartars. Just by looking at the situation at sea, you know the tragedy of the battle on Changsheng Island, if it wasn't miserable, the old chief wouldn't have been killed!

Thinking of this, Hong Fuyi clenched his fists with tears in his eyes.

The soldiers were killed and killed in front, risking their lives, but a bunch of people watching the excitement behind were pondering how to seize power and seize merit.

It's fucking chilling!

The fleet finally entered the waters of Changsheng Island, and several small boats rowed over, and when they saw that it was the Ming army, they shouted excitedly, some people went back to report, and some people led the fleet into the dock.

As the big ship entered, the port was already full of anticipatory Ming soldiers, and everyone watched with their eyes open.

"Brother on the ship, do you have anything to eat?"

With a question, Hong Shiki's tears could no longer be held back.

"Yes, yes! Brothers, get on the boat and carry food! ”

The soldiers roared, boarded the big boat, and carried all the japonica rice and white noodles. When Hongshiki came, he also collected some bacon, and two other boats were full of pigs and sheep.

With these things, the island soon smelled wafting with aromas, and the soldiers slaughtered pigs and sheep, washed rice and cooked rice, and it was very lively.

"Teacher, I really didn't expect that it was you who came!" Zhang Ke respectfully gave Hong Fu a salute.

"Yongzhen, you have suffered!"

"To tell you the truth, it's been three days since you stopped, if you don't come again, even the war horses will be killed!"

Zhang Ke didn't hide anything from the teacher, and directly asked Hong Fu to get the handsome account. The master and apprentice sat opposite each other, Hong Fu paused, and said: "Yongzhen, you and the teacher are honest, is the old chief dead or alive?" ”R1152
