Zhu Ping'an never thought that the future Admiral Shengjing of Kangxi Xiao Mazi in real history would come to Dengzhou, and was recommended by Lu Zhenfei to study in the martial arts hall. This change is really unexpected.

The name, identity, place of origin, and experience are all right, and it should be the young strategist who assisted Tuhai in quickly pacifying the auxiliary ministers of the Shaanxi and Gansu kings in the rebellion of the three feudatories.

"How do you feel about meeting them?" Zhu Ping'an asked Cao Wuxian.

Cao Wuxian carefully recalled, "Compared with other ten-year-old boys, he is polite and polite, and he is also very smart. However, when this person went to the children's class for three days, I observed his behavior, but it was a little out of place with others, and I thought that it should be because he lost his father at a young age, and he was very defensive, and it was difficult for him to interact with others. ”

This is also human nature, losing his father at a young age, and supporting the family business in front of his mother, it is quite difficult to think about, and the pressure is not something that ordinary children of the same age can imagine. Generally speaking, such people always have a lot on their minds, and the pressure is always there, and it is reasonable for them to be self-isolated.

"Observe carefully for a while, since it was recommended by the teacher, I think there are always some outstanding points, let's study in the children's class first!"

After negotiating Zhou Peigong's whereabouts, Cao Wuxian remembered one thing, "By the way, there is another thing that Mr. Yin asked me to tell the young master just now, and the person named Yan Yingyuan that the young master ordered to find before has been found, and this is still a message sent by Mr. Lu." That person was the history of Jiangyin, but he had already stepped down, and he had been idle at home all these years, and the imperial court appointed him as the chief secretary of Yingde County, Shaozhou, Guangdong, last year, but because his mother was seriously ill, he had not been able to make the trip. ”

Zhu Ping'an suddenly became excited, "How is the teacher placed in him?" ”

"Mr. Lu has personally seen this person, and said that this person is indeed quite strategic, and his skills and bearing are the best choices, but he has no fame, so he can only temporarily place him in the regimental training camp first, and be Ge Ying's deputy, and then report to the imperial court for a reward."

Lu Zhenfei thought about it very carefully, and it was also a kind of examination of Yan Yingyuan. The candidates recommended by Zhu Ping'an also need to be examined before deciding whether to reuse.

In recent years, there have been three phases of students graduated from the lecture hall, compared with the rush of the first period, the second and third phases of the course arrangement has been enriched a lot, under the recommendation of Goethe and Meinhull, some Swedish and French and Francois officers have come to the lecture hall to teach, they bring a variety of military knowledge more practical and advanced, but also let the reserve officers in the lecture hall open their eyes, especially the reform of military professionalism carried out by Gustav II of Sweden is an eye-opener for the trainees, so that they can get in touch with and be familiar with modern military theoryThis is also a good foundation for entering the new army in the future.

The people cultivated by the lecture hall will be the middle and low-level officers and staff officers of the Shandong New Army in the future, but Zhu Ping'an will not let go of the talents who have left a reputation in history.

Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Tinglin, and Sun Heding are lessons from the past. Since last year, Zhu Ping'an has listed some names and handed them over to the Military Intelligence Department to find, including Yan Yingyuan, who shined in the Jiangyin anti-Qing battle. The rest are Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Mingzhen, Du Yinxi and others, on the one hand, these people are quite talented, on the other hand, and most importantly, they are the most resolute determination to resist the Qing Dynasty, and Zhu Ping'an needs such a determined person to stand on his side.

Previously, because of the two people Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen who were degraded in the Battle of Songshan, Lu Xiangsheng personally went to lobby, Cao Bianjiao was alone, these days in Jiangwutang and Dengzhou to take a look, Zhu Ping'an's admiration for the training and establishment of the new army, anyway, there is nowhere to go, so he agreed to stay. On the contrary, it is the royal courtier, although Lu Xiangsheng struggled to speak, he still plans to go to Beijing, ready to pour out his family property, find a relationship or two, and see if he can be reinstated as an official, or make meritorious contributions.

At this point, Zhu Ping'an and Lu Xiangsheng are not reluctant. He handed over Cao Bianjiao's men and horses, which were originally strictly ordered by the imperial court, to Wang Tingchen and asked him to bring them back to Beijing with him. Zhu Ping'an also prepared sufficient grain and straw, and Wang Tingchen was naturally grateful.

Zhu Ping'an originally planned to transfer Zhang Dingbian and Zhang Dagou back to serve in the new army, and Cao Bianjiao would lead the Shandong cavalry, but Cao Bianjiao and his people had a very low attitude, repeatedly explaining that when he first arrived in Shandong, he was not familiar with the formation, composition, characteristics, and combat power of soldiers and horses, so Cao Bianjiao insisted on being Zhang Dingbian's deputy.

Cao Bianjiao was originally a fierce general, and there were not so many twists and turns, but now he is so forward-looking, which Zhu Ping'an and Lu Xiangsheng did not expect. It's human nature to think about it, after so many years of bloody battles on the front line of suppressing thieves and resisting the Qing Dynasty, my uncle also died on the battlefield, but in the end he was removed from his official position by the imperial court and left to fend for himself, and the loss and fear in this can be imagined.

……

After nightfall, Penglai is still a prosperous scene, although the curfew system is also implemented, but it is delayed for an hour, after the city gate is closed, the city is still lively as usual, and the lights are bright.

The flow of people is like weaving, the wide cement street is shoulder to shoulder, a specially decorated canopy carriage stopped outside Penglai Pavilion at this time, the carriage is surrounded by several guards, lifting the curtain, a brocade middle-aged man is down from the carriage, Chinese face, thick eyebrows and broad eyes, raised his head to look at the brilliant Penglai Pavilion, but asked: "Did the message be delivered to the two of them?" ”

One of the guards replied respectfully: "It's all delivered, see you at the sea tower!" ”

The middle-aged man in brocade nodded, and walked into the Wanghai Tower next to Penglai Pavilion, at this time the night had just fallen, and it was the time when this famous restaurant in Penglai was prosperous. The guests kept coming and going, and as soon as the middle-aged man in brocade and his entourage appeared at the door, a shopkeeper greeted him.

"Master, may I ask how many of you?"

One of the guards casually tossed a piece of silver, "Is there a room available?" To the third floor tasteful! ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "Yes!" There must be! Please come with the little ones. ”

Wanghailou is said to be the Beijing division of a certain ancestral hometown of Shandong magnate opened, the dishes are mainly Lu cuisine, can not help all kinds of seafood are complete, there are all kinds of fresh melons and fruits unique to Dengzhou, it is said that they are all cultivated by the secret law passed out by the general military office, the rest is a variety of local specialties, Luxi cattle, Texas donkey, Yimeng black pig, Yimeng black pig, stacked mountain pig, big-tailed cold sheep, small-tailed cold sheep, Lubei white goat, Shouguang chicken, Jinan flower chicken, Wenshang Luhua chicken, Weishan hemp duck, Jinxiang Baizi goose, Wulong goose and so on are everything.

Dignitaries and nobles were also proud to be able to feast here, and ordinary people and businessmen simply could not afford the high consumer prices here.

At the end of the day, Yang Tinglin came to Wanghailou under the escort of several personal soldiers, Yang Tinglin was in Shandong for a long time, and he developed the habit of riding a horse, just dismounted, but saw a familiar figure at a glance.

"Brother Qi Lianxian, why are you here?"

Wang Pin was also stunned, he didn't expect to meet Yang Tinglin again today. "Brother Boxiang, today there is an invitation from the old people in Jingshi, and I am here to meet!"

Yang Tinglin laughed, "It's a coincidence, so is the foolish brother!" The two arrived, and the shopkeeper of Wanghailou also greeted him in person.

But when they went up to the third floor and stopped in front of the door of the same room, neither of them could laugh a little.

Maybe he heard the sound of footsteps, the door was opened from the inside, and the guards let Yang Tinglin and Wang Pin into the house, and the middle-aged man in brocade clothes who was watching the sea from the window turned around and bowed slightly at the two.

Yang Tinglin and Wang Pinhu glanced at each other suspiciously, "Could it be that the guest of the Jingshi who posted today?" Ignorance......? ”

The middle-aged man in brocade threw his hand at the two of them, "Our family is Fengda, I have seen Yang Tongzhi and Wang Gonggong!" ”

Yang Tinglin and Wang Pin were indeed taken aback. Who is Feng Da, the two of them are clear, Emperor Chongzhen sent lieutenant officials to supervise the army in various places, this Feng Da is the lieutenant official sent to Shandong, and one point, he is now the confidant of Du Xun, the first eunuch of the first eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, this time he came to Shandong, maybe he came for the fat of sea trade.

The guards have all exited the room. The house suddenly became empty, and the windows towards the sea opened, and the cold sea breeze whistled in, pulling the temperature of the house down a lot. There was silence in the room, but Yang Tinglin and Wang Pin were silent, they really couldn't figure out why they had to meet with themselves when they came to Shandong quietly.

"The military intelligence department under the command of Shandong General Zhu Rong is pervasive, and it took a lot of effort for our family to quietly infiltrate Penglai City. This Wanghai Tower was opened by the nephew of Feng Miao, the governor of the Left Army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it is a secret ...... talking here! ”

After saying something, Yang Tinglin and Wang Pin were even more confused.

Feng Da didn't explain anymore, took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to the two of them, "Let's read the letter first!" ”

Yang Tinglin and Wang Pin were suspicious of the result of the letter, but Feng Da sat directly on the main seat at the wine table, the leeks just served were steaming and fragrant, and Feng Da sighed every time he put a chopstick dish into his mouth.

After reading the letter, Yang Tinglin and Wang Pin were indeed taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Feng Da.

Feng Da smiled and put down his chopsticks, "Two, His Royal Highness the Prince's handwriting is not wrong!" ”

"Are you really sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Wang Pin and the two were still skeptical.

Feng Da took out the Donggong token he was carrying with him and shook it in front of the two.

"Isn't Father-in-law Feng Du Xun's person?" Wang Pin asked directly.

Feng Da smiled, "When Du Xun did not make a career, our family did have some friendship with him, but our family was under the command of His Royal Highness the Prince, but it was three years ago. Both of them are talents trusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they must be able to help me! ”

"What is the matter entrusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Yang Tinglin's face was a little unnatural.

"If there is turmoil today, and the edicts of the military attachés from all over the country to the imperial court have been disobeyed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values Denglai, so I want to pass through our family and the two of them, control part of Denglai's military power, and make some preparations for the future!"

Feng Da said as he stared at Yang Tinglin and Wang Pin tightly with two wide eyes.
