Chapter 277: Insiders Look at the Doorway
"Thank you Lord Cai for reminding me, Xia Guan naturally understands what to do! Please rest assured! ”
Although Xie Longyi is a first-class military attaché, and Cai Shanji is only a second-rank civil official, on the surface, it seems that Cai Shanji's official rank is lower than Xie Longyi, but in this era, military generals are really hard in front of civil officials, even if it is Xie Longyi, in front of Cai Shanji, he has to regard himself as a lower official, but Cai Shanji is taken for granted, as if it is a matter of course.
Cai Shanji nodded slightly in the sedan chair and said with a smile: "Since Xie Junmen knows how to do it, then this official will rest assured!" ”
Speaking of this, Xie Longyi raised his hand to stop the soldiers and horses who came with him, ordered to line up on the spot, turned around and rode his horse, returned to his own team, summoned a group of subordinate generals who accompanied him to the front, and whispered orders to them.
These generals who came with them all nodded in response, their eyes flickered a few times, and they looked up at the sea wolf infantry formation a few times, and there was a slight hint of jealousy in their eyes.
At this time, Yu Xiaotian had already taken a group of subordinates to wait for the arrival of Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi outside the east gate of Gaopu City, and now they have all been sealed, and they have all changed into official uniforms one by one, standing quietly in front of the sea wolf infantry formation, looking at the official army coming from a distance.
When he saw that the officers and soldiers stopped and formed a formation on the opposite side, Yu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Everyone, let's go!" It's time for us to go up to the top! Hehe! ”
As he spoke, he raised his legs and led his generals, and under the escort of fifty personal guards, he walked towards Cai Shanji's sedan chair......
"Humble to Xiaotian, see Lord Cai, Xie Junmen! It's too late to greet you, and I hope the two adults will bear with me! Yu Xiaotian was wearing a scarlet official robe embroidered with tiger patches on the front and back of the group collar, and a belt with gold ornaments and jade at the waist, although this official robe was also specially tailored for him, but he was never used to wearing robes, and today's dress still made him very unhappy.
Along the way, although the footstool soap boots, but always feel that the front of the robe is too long, there is a feeling of stumbling, from time to time always want to step on the placket of the robe, have to hold the placket of the robe from time to time, save accidentally stepping on the robe, in public to chew mud, that will greatly affect his tall image, since then it has become a joke.
And now the weather is very hot, wearing such a bloated and cumbersome official robe, standing under the sun for so long, it is really a torment, not waiting for Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi to get here, he and his gang of guys, at this time, they are already sweating profusely, even the front and back of the official robe are soaked with sweat, and the sweat keeps flowing down the edge of the hat, making them all miserable.
But now they are no longer the pirates they used to be, and they didn't have to pay too much attention to etiquette before, but now they have official status, but they have to do everything according to formal etiquette, because this era attaches great importance to etiquette, if you don't follow the rules, you will inevitably be ridiculed and not said, and if you don't do it well, you will be charged with a crime of trespassing.
So Yu Xiaotian could only grit his teeth, pinch his nose and follow the rules, and walked far in front of Cai Shanji's sedan chair to salute Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi, who was standing on the horse.
Cai Shanji had already ordered someone to lift the sedan curtain at this time, and watched Yu Xiaotian lead the crowd to greet him, all the etiquette was quite thorough, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot.
Originally, he thought that a gang of thieves like Yu Xiaotian would definitely not respect the number of etiquette too much, but it turned out that he had already made up his mind, even if these guys were rude, he pinched his nose and admitted it, but what he didn't expect was that Yu Xiaotian was actually quite acquainted, and the etiquette was quite thorough.
This can't help but make Cai Shanji breathe a long sigh of relief, you must know that people like him care most about the problem of face, if Yu Xiaotian's gang of guys today do not respect the number of nonsense, but it is equivalent to a big refutation of his face, although he can't do anything with them, but this face is always not good-looking.
Now that Yu Xiaotian and they know each other like this, he can't hold the shelf, so he hurriedly walked down from the sedan chair and greeted Yu Xiaotian and others, as for Xie Longyi, who was sitting on horseback, saw that Cai Shanji took the initiative to get off the sedan chair, he didn't dare to sit on the horseback anymore, so he had to quickly turn over and dismount, throw the reins of the horse to the horse next to him, follow behind Cai Shanji, and hurriedly greeted Yu Xiaotian and others.
"General Yu is exempt, everyone is exempt! Get up and speak! Come on, come on, this official will introduce you to you, this is Xie Longyi, the chief military officer of Fuzhou, Xie Junmen, you must be closer and closer in the future! Cai Shanji stepped forward quickly, came to Yu Xiaotian and his party, and said to them in a very kind tone while looking at Yu Xiaotian and others.
In fact, although Cai Shanji had dealt with Yu Xiaotian, Cai Shanji also tried to appease Yu Xiaotian at the beginning, but He Nai didn't eat his pot at that time, and the two sides only secretly reached an agreement at that time, Yu Xiaotian stopped attacking Quanzhou Mansion, and Cai Shanji acquiesced to the sea wolf controlling the area around Weitou Bay.
But it's only been more than half a year, but now everything has changed, the sea wolf was actually recruited by Xiong Wencan, and Yu Xiaotian has become a general in Fujian.
And Cai Shanji came over this time, and it was the first time to see Yu Xiaotian, a legendary character, although they had never met, Cai Shanji still recognized Yu Xiaotian in the crowd at a glance, and couldn't help but secretly shout hello.
Yu Xiaotian led the generals, behaved very deferentially, and the etiquette was quite thorough, and after thanking Cai Shanji, he immediately gave a salute to Xie Longyi, who came over.
Xie Longyi's original arrogance, after seeing the momentum of the Sea Wolf Array just now, has already been hit at all, plus Cai Shanji deliberately reminded him just now, now after seeing Yu Xiaotian, he naturally does not dare to show a little arrogant.
When Yu Xiaotian led the crowd to salute him, Xie Longyi was full of smiles, as if he had seen an old friend, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiaotian and others one by one, and behaved very affectionately, holding Yu Xiaotian's arm, laughing loudly, and praising Yu Xiaotian again and again for being a hero.
Seeing that Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi both seemed to be deliberately befriending, and lowered their figures, Yu Xiaotian naturally breathed a long sigh of relief.
He is not afraid that these two will come over this time to deliberately make things difficult for him, now he knows very well that his current position in Fujian is very delicate, although he has just returned to obedience, but his strength is here, and everyone knows that he has a way back, not to mention that he has Xiong Wencan behind him to support him, whether Xiong Wencan is real or fake, but he is very important to Xiong Wencan, there is no doubt about this.
If an ordinary person is appeased, at best, the government can give him a total of thousands of generals, even if it is quite a face, but he is the only one in Fujian who is recruited and directly entrusted with the position of a general with such a system, what does this represent, it is estimated that as long as people are not stupid, they should think clearly.
And this time, Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi were ordered to come over to carry out the so-called reorganization of the superintendent of the Sea Wolf Ministry, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was just a formality, because these 6,000 people, the area to be garrisoned in the future, Yu Xiaotian had already agreed with Xiong Wencan during this time.
This Weitouwan has now clearly become Yu Xiaotian's territory, whoever is here, can only act according to his eyes, once someone does not know each other and wants to give him a horse, then he doesn't mind returning it as it is, even if it makes trouble for Xiong Wencan, he has no.
However, Yu Xiaotian's character is that people respect me, I respect people, and now he doesn't want to make too many enemies in Fujian, after all, this side will be built by him into the base of his sea wolf group in the future, and there are always people who make him stumble, although he is not afraid, but it is inevitable that he is disgusting.
So this time Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi came over, he still tried his best to be thoughtful, and he didn't want to offend these two figures who are still big names in Fujian.
What's more, Cai Shanji himself is the deputy envoy of the sea route, mainly responsible for the anti-piracy and coastal defense matters along the coast of Fujian, he can say a lot of things in the future, and he must be controlled by Cai Shanji, and Xie Longyi needless to say, he is a veteran chief military officer in Fujian, and he is deeply rooted in the Fujian military.
And he Yu Xiaotian is now also included in the Fujian military system, so naturally he will inevitably deal with Xie Longyi in the future, and it will be much easier for him to act in the future by befriending these two, which is why Yu Xiaotian deliberately lowered his posture this time.
Both sides have ghosts in their hearts, and they deliberately lower their postures, so naturally they are all happy, and there is no conflict, after the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Yu Xiaotian personally led Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi to conduct a review of the sea wolf troops lined up outside the city.
With Yu Xiaotian's order, the 3,000 Sea Wolf Land Division, under the command of Li Dazui and Meng Fei, immediately began to divide into two groups, and began to show a change of formation in the open ground outside the city, and conducted a small-scale exercise.
Subsequently, Yu Xiaotian also ordered the Sea Wolf troops to conduct an artillery test firing and musket salvo drill.
Xie Longyi is a veteran soldier, he is a big expert in military affairs, and this person can not be regarded as an embroidered pillow, he really has fought some big battles and tough battles in Fujian, of course, it can be said that he is very eye-catching, as he said, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, although the Sea Wolf troops only did some simple array conversion and small-scale battle drills, he immediately judged that this group of Sea Wolf Land Division members is probably much stronger than he originally expected.
(I'm sorry brethren, but today I had something to do during the day, and I drank too much at night!) The update is too late, so bear with me! )
