"What a brave man! For the sake of the country, martyr! O martyrs! "

Compared with Grandpa Cao's dilemma, Qian Qianyi's reaction when he heard this battle report was much simpler—joy, ecstasy, and surprise. These three feelings came in turn: to hear that the soldiers and horses of Qiongzhen had won the battle again, as usual, it was a joy - although I always heard the news of victory from Qionghai Town, and I was already a little aesthetically tired, but in any case, this army was introduced by him to the Ming Dynasty, and it was a faction that belonged to his side to the letter, and it was better to win than to lose.

Later, when I heard that I had defeated 10,000 Houjin troops and killed a Houjin Belle Ye, it was an out-and-out ecstasy - how many years has it been since the dynasty had such a big victory? If it weren't for my money, someone who sacrificed himself to enter the camp, and said that the other party accepted Zhao'an, how could he have achieved such a good result! With this credit book, my old money can definitely lie down for a lifetime!

As for the third point, after hearing that Xiao Lang was seriously injured, he was first shocked, but then he secretly rejoiced - the taste was about the same as the feeling of all the members of the "Anti-Fascist Front" during World War II after hearing that the big guy of the Yankees had been beaten by Little Japan at Pearl Harbor - one side killed one of the other party's Baylors, and the other side let go of your commander, hehe, now the two sides have a big grudge, are you afraid that you will not pinch each other to death? At present, there is the so-called "South and North Tartar" in the middle of the court, which is considered to be the two strongest forces today, and the princes of the court always have a headache in the past, how to guide the powerful power of the Qiong Navy to fight against the Tartars outside the Guan, but now it's good, don't bother, they have made a mortal enemy themselves!

Of course, as an old bureaucrat, Qian Ge Lao is happy in his heart. On the surface, he didn't show it at all, but immediately put on a look of great emotion, and praised Xiao Lang's loyalty repeatedly, only to hear Chen Tao's brows jump at first - the person is not dead. There's no need to be in such a hurry to give a title, right? But then he realized that he had been mistaken—the word "martyr" didn't simply refer to the dead. Rather, it is a simplified term for "heroic man", the so-called "martyr's twilight years. Strong-hearted". Literature like Qian Qianyi will definitely not make mistakes in this regard. And he quickly provided a list of several well-known imperial doctors, saying that he could help recommend, see if he could invite one or two to Liaodong for a visit, and at least get some secret red wound medicine to send over...... Anyway, it's very painful. and very enthusiastic posture, but Chen Tao was quite moved, and hurriedly said that the rear had urgently dispatched a doctor over, and he should be able to save people in time.

"In short, if you need any help, just tell the old man. General Xiao is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court will never let him end up."

Qian Ge Lao finally made a pledge. After sending Chen Tao out with a sad face, he immediately greeted the little maid at home with a spring breeze on his face:

"Prepare clothes, prepare sedan cars...... The old man wants to enter the palace immediately to face the saint! "

-- Sure enough, as Gonggong Cao expected, the civil officials did not delay even a quarter of an hour after receiving this "great news". Immediately enter the palace to announce the good news to the saint - Admiral Joan was seriously wounded and dying, and in their eyes it was actually part of this "good news", and most of it was even the best part.

However, Qian Ge has been in Beijing for a few years, and now he is more proficient. At the same time as going out, he also sent someone to say hello to Gonggong Cao first, saying that let's go to face the saint together.

Cao Huachun had helped him in his most difficult times before. But now Qian Qianyi's status has risen with the strength of the Qiong Navy, and his status has been far higher than Cao Huachun's - this is the official rank, that is, in terms of influence on the emperor in private, the two are almost equal. In the past year, with the old relationship between the two of them, one inner palace and one outer court, open or covert, they tacitly stood on the same position on many things, and they formed an alliance in politics.

And Cao Huachun also decided not to monopolize this benefit after thinking about it, if the Son of Heaven really wants to be angry, he can also ask someone to help him top it. So the two met at the gate of the palace, and then went to the imperial study together to report to the Son of Heaven. Chongzhen's reaction after hearing the news was not much different from that of his ministers, and he was also extremely happy. Especially when he heard that Qiong Zhen had also lost a general, the corners of his mouth almost turned up on the spot - this young emperor's city was a little shallow after all.

However, after seeing that the two subordinates were very knowledgeable and deeply bowed their heads, Zhu Youzhen immediately reacted, and immediately turned his face blank, showing a full face of anger:

"Dongjiang General Soldier damn it! That yellow ...... Huang ......"

"Yellow Dragon."

Father-in-law Cao hurriedly reported the name of the guy who should be responsible, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - this time he finally didn't have to carry the black pot.

"That's right! Huanglong, the emperor is not strict, and the friendly army is lost! I'm going to take him again! "

Qian Ge Lao and Gonggong Cao have no opinion on this, a Qiu Ba is just a Qiu Ba, born to carry the black pot, not to mention that this time it is his fault, if it weren't for the idiocy of this guy to a certain extent, he actually let Hou Jin Xizuo pretend to be his own personal soldier, and he would not have been able to assassinate the head of Qiong's navy - why didn't Hou Jin Xizuo directly take off his head? It is estimated that he is too wasteful to pay attention to it. If this kind of waste is taken early, it will definitely not hurt the Ming army.

After expressing his righteousness and sternness that he would never shield his incompetent subordinates, Emperor Chongzhen began to express his concern for the general of Qionghai Town, whom he valued very much:

"That Xiao ......"

Qian Qianyi hurriedly stepped forward, just as he imagined that Gonggong Cao had reminded the emperor like just now, but he saw the Son of Heaven waving his hand at him, signaling that he didn't need to be reminded by his subordinates, and then looked at his sleeve very freely - his name had already been written on it:

"Xiao Lang! I remember him! A rare loyal man among the generals of Qiongzhen! For .[,! It is really pitiful and lamentable...... It's a pity that the Jingshi is too far away, so I'm afraid it's too late to send the imperial doctor over now, right?"

"Lao Chenyuan also said that he would arrange for a famous doctor to go over, but Chen Guanzheng said that they had already sent a famous doctor from Qiongzhou Island, and they should be able to catch up."

Qian Qianyi bowed his head to report, but whether it was Chongzhen above or Eunuch Cao next to him, they all showed disapproving expressions at the same time:

"Send men from Qiongzhou Island? How long will it take to get to Liaodong, and the water can't quench the thirst of the near."

"It's okay, according to them, if it's a qiē shun lì, it will be there within ten days."

Qian Qianyi deliberately replied expressionlessly, then raised his head slightly, and observed the surprised look on the faces of the Son of Heaven and the fat eunuch next to him with the corner of his eye—he deliberately pulled the topic to this aspect, just to see the expressions of the two.

Sure enough, the two of them reacted the same way he had when he first heard the words - they were both half-open, dumbfounded. This made Qian Qianyi feel very happy - this shows that our previous expression in front of Chen Tao is not a special case, it is a normal reaction.

Of course, the jokes of the Son of Heaven and the Admiral of Dongchang can't be seen much, Qian Qianyi only glanced at it and lowered his head again, pretending not to know anything, and Cao Huachun's vigilance was very high, when he realized that he might lose his temper, he instinctively put on the standard posture of Admiral Dongchang: always that unfathomable face. But then he quickly changed his face - grandma's mask was wrong! You can't put on a score in front of the emperor, what you need to show at this time should be a servant face!

Only Chongzhen, as the Son of Heaven, has no taboos, and his age and personality have not reached the level where he can completely control his own feelings, so the look of surprise on his face remained a little longer, and he opened his mouth to confirm it again. But this is when the difference between the professional and the amateur becomes apparent - in terms of the ability to observe words and emotions and serve people.

The slave maid remembered that Dongchang had sent a report saying that the Fujian Five Tigers guerrilla general Zheng had found many skilled craftsmen, saying that he wanted to imitate a kind of fast boat in Qionghai Town, which was said to be able to travel between the Central Plains and the Wa Kingdom within half a month...... At the time, they all said it was delusional, but now it seems that I am afraid that Qiongzhen really has that kind of ship."

- Cao Huachun Cao Gonggong interjected a sentence in a timely manner, confirming Qian Qianyi's statement, but at the same time, it also prevented the emperor from wanting to speak. This may seem a bit abrupt and rude, but it can prevent Zhu Youzhen from getting angry afterwards because he feels that he was embarrassed to ask, which is really a very clever method.

These gossips aside, but now we have to quickly come up with an attitude - how should the imperial court respond to this battle report in Qionghai Town? Admit it or not? This is not a small problem, if you really follow the record reported by the short hair, Emperor Chongzhen is going to Taimiao to pay tribute to his ancestors.

If the imperial court's own army has made such a great achievement, then it is impossible to overstate the reward. But for the gang of people in Qionghai Town, the current Ming Dynasty up and down, from the emperor to the minister, there is always a very strange feeling - the other party has really made a lot of meritorious contributions since Zhao'an, and the help to the Ming Dynasty in all aspects has long exceeded anyone's expectations. Even those who advocated recruiting security at the beginning, such as Xiong Wencan in the local area, Qian Qianyi in the center, etc., never thought that a group of strange short-haired thieves living in Hainan and dressed in strange clothes could do so many things.

It stands to reason that this should be a very happy thing, and the original "Zhao'an faction" is now soaring. But even they themselves, while rejoicing that their vision is correct, they always have a feeling of unease in their hearts.

-- Yes, with the deepening of the communication with the Ming Dynasty, even the most sluggish and obscure bureaucrats are now gradually aware that the short-haired people are extremely maverick in thought and action, and although they claim to be Chinese people, they are very different from the "Chinese people" of any era in history.

In the final analysis: shorthair and our Ming Dynasty are not all the way! ――

I have been working a little bit lately, and I didn't have time to write last week, so I tried to make up for it on National Day.
