Chapter 34: The Eunuch's Hat

A month had passed since the battle between Zhenhaiwei and the Dutch, and calm had returned to the coast of Fujian, and Fairberg had kept his promise and left Fujian with the remnants of the fleet and withdrew from Penghu.

According to the Fujian Navy Division, after leaving Penghu, the Dutch fleet turned to the direction of Xiaoliuqiu and did not stay in Fujian waters.

According to Yang Yingqian's knowledge, Xiaoliuqiu Island at this time should be the sphere of influence of the maritime merchant Yan Siqi, and if the Dutch want to intervene at this time, the two sides will inevitably have a dog-eat-dog, which just saves the affairs of the imperial court, and divides the energy of the imperial court for other Japanese courts to pass through the South China Sea, and there is also less resistance.

In order to prevent another situation in Penghu, in addition to the Penghu Inspection Division, Zhu Yifeng specially ordered a 1,500-man Fuzhou battalion to guard Penghu and hand over the three warships and half of the firearms handed over by the group of Dutch to them.

The other half of the firearms were handed over to Yang Yingqian as trophies of the battle, and the muskets used by the Dutch already had the shadow of flintlock pistols.

During this time, Luo Li has been studying flintlock pistols, but some technical difficulties have never been able to break through, after getting these muskets, Yang Yingqian gave Luo Li to study, this firearms idiot couldn't help but be overjoyed, and after returning to Yongningwei, he plunged into the firearms workshop and got busy.

After returning to Yongningwei, Yang Yingqian really had a comfortable time, and every day he was shopping around the business of Lingyan Pavilion and going to the school to see the training of officers and soldiers.

At this time, Yongningwei's various affairs were already on track, and the commander made Cao Hong happy to retreat behind the scenes and leave everything to Yang Yingqian, although he was very busy every day, but every late at night, Yang Yingqian always recalled the scene of talking with Gu Hengbo in Meilou that day.

In the early morning of this day, Yang Yingqian came to the yamen early after dinner, and after ordering, he thought about going to the Acropolis to take a turn, but before he went out, Zhan Haozhi ran over in a panic.

"My lord, there's a team of brocade guards outside!"

Hearing Zhan Haozhi's words, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, it is not a good thing for Jinyiwei to come to the door, is it because of the private business between himself and Fu Langji, but Yang Yingqian thought about it and felt that it was unlikely, Zhu Yifeng should not report this matter in the chapter, and besides, although the imperial court forbids the sea, there are not a few officials and relatives who run maritime merchants privately, and it is impossible to let Jinyiwei arrest him because of this.

Yang Yingqian's heart was at a strange time, a team of more than a dozen brocade guards had already come to the yamen courtyard, and the first brocade guard was still holding a roll of yellow silk in his hand.

Seeing Yang Yingqian and Zhan Haozhi standing in the courtyard, this team of brocade guards walked straight to the two of them.

The leader of the brocade guard, Qianhu, looked at the two and said.

"Which of the two is Lord Yang Yingqian?"

Seeing that these two brocade guards were really looking for him, Yang Yingqian's heart couldn't help but move slightly, but looking at the expression of this brocade guard, it didn't look like he was here to find fault, and then Yang Yingqian stepped forward and said.

"Xiaguan Yongningwei commanded Yang Yingqian, I don't know what kind of dispatch the upper mission is here?"

The brocade guard had a straight face, and unfolded the yellow silk in his hand: "Yang Yingqian takes the order!" ”

Seeing that this brocade guard actually came to read the holy decree, Yang Yingqian hurriedly knelt on the ground with Zhan Haozhi, and then the brocade guard began to read the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the existing Yongning Wei commander Tongzhi Yang Yingqian is loyal to the country, fighting bravely on the battle array, remembering his meritorious service to Hongyi, the elite of the concession to bring the department into the Beijing camp, promoted to the general of the Yongning battalion, and immediately enter Beijing, Qin this!"

Yang Yingqian couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart when he heard the holy decree, and hurriedly shouted Long live, and then raised his hands above his head and took the holy decree into his hands.

That brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu reversed the serious expression just now, and laughed and helped Yang Yingqian up from the ground.

"Xiaguan Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Qianhu Luo Yang, congratulations on your promotion to general!"

Yang Yingqian was the commander of Wei before, although he was also from the identity of Sanpin, but the official of Wei was not worth much, and there was a Cao Hongxian above Yang Yingqian.

Although this general is only half a level higher than the commander of Tongzhi, he is the chief officer of the first battalion of the Beijing camp, and the key is that this general is said to be the future personally approved by the Gonggong of Wei in the current dynasty.

This Wei Gonggong is now relying on the East Factory, and the East Factory has the responsibility of supervising Jinyi Wei, and even the commander Xu Xianchun is stammering with Wei Gonggong, and this Yang Shen General in front of him is so appreciated by Wei Gonggong, Luo Yangxing is naturally a lot more polite to Yang Yingqian.

Seeing that this Jinyi Wei Qianhu was so polite to himself, Yang Yingqian naturally bowed his hand slightly to Luo Yangxing: "Luo Shang came all the way to Fujian to proclaim the decree, and it was very hard to sleep in the open!" ”

At this time, Zhan Haozhi had already walked over with a handyman from the house, and the handyman was holding a tray in his hand, and the tray was covered with a piece of red silk.

Yang Yingqian took the tray from the handyman's hand, handed the tray to Luo Yangxing and lifted the red silk, and there were twenty large silver ingots neatly stacked on it, and this plate was two hundred taels of silver.

"A little respect, buy a few glasses of water and wine for the errand and brothers to relieve their fatigue!"

Although Luo Yangxing is a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, he rarely has the opportunity to go out of the emperor's errand, and by chance he met Yang Yingqian, who was so generous, these two hundred taels of silver, that is, to give some of these brocade guards under him, and he can have a surplus of one hundred and ten taels, Luo Yangxing's happy mouth is a little closed.

"Why do adults need to be so polite, it's all within the scope of the small ones!"

Yang Yingqian smiled slightly: "Brother Luo is polite, he arrives in the capital one day, and he has to ask you to mention it!" ”

In a few simple words, Yang Yingqian brought the relationship between the two a lot closer.

Seeing Yang Yingqian say this, Luo Yangxing was no longer polite, so he took the tray and said with a smile: "That is the case, then the subordinate official will be disrespectful!" He turned around and handed the silver taels in the tray to the brocade guard behind him.

"Please also ask Lord Yang to hand over military affairs with Commander Cao as soon as possible, Grandpa Wei still has an urgent errand waiting for the two of us to do!" Luo Yangxing said.

Yang Yingqian was a little strange when he heard this, and when he saw Yang Yingqian's face with doubts, Luo Yangxuan smiled again.

"Originally, the errand of this decree has always been the responsibility of the internal official, but this time our Jinyiwei wanted to go to Nanjing to arrest a criminal official, so Father-in-law Wei asked us Jinyiwei to take a piece to handle the matter, and the father-in-law specially explained that we would escort the criminal official into Beijing together."

Hearing this, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and immediately asked: "I don't know who you want to arrest, but you actually alarmed Jinyiwei?" ”

Luo Yangxing sneered: "Shen Congzhou, the director of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, is also an eye-opener, and he dared to write a letter to impeach Father-in-law Wei as a eunuch, which angered his father-in-law, and this time I am afraid that he will inevitably lose his official position and break his family!" ”

Luo Yangxing said again.

Hearing this name again, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but think of those things in Tong'an County again, the world is unpredictable, thinking of this, Yang Yingqian's mind suddenly flashed the beautiful woman who flashed in the carriage on the official road outside Tong'an County.......

"Lord Yang, Lord Yang?"

Yang Yingqian was unexpectedly distracted for a while, looking at Luo Yangxing, who was looking at him with a puzzled face, and hurriedly snorted: "I can actually listen to it!" ”

Luo Yangxing immediately smiled: "Please prepare quickly, and when you finish your errand in Nanjing, the next official will invite the adults to have a few drinks in Nanjing." ”

Yang Yingqian soon took the holy decree to see Cao Hongxian, Cao Hongxian was happy that Yang Yingqian could be promoted, but Cao Hongxian was a little reluctant to transfer Yang Yingqian to the Beijing Division.

First, because Yang Yingqian is here, his life is very comfortable, and secondly, because of how to deliver the big stall of Yongningwei now.

The two discussed for a long time, and finally decided that Lingyange's business was still mainly in the south, because it was convenient to go to sea and close to Nanyang, so Yang Yingqian left Yang Bo and Wu Qian here to assist Cao Hongxian in taking care of business and the affairs of the health office.

In terms of the army, Yang Yingqian took away most of the elite forces, leaving only 1,000 officers and soldiers to guard Yongningwei, although it was only 1,000, but with the current combat effectiveness of Yongning soldiers, it was still possible to ensure the safety of one side.

The three Xie Shangzheng brothers, Sun Dayong and Liu Daniu led the remaining 3,000 soldiers and horses into Beijing with Yang Yingqian, and the firearms workshop was also relocated as a whole.

After explaining everything, Yang Yingqian took Zhan Haozhi and Liu Daniu to lead a thousand Yongning troops and Luo Yangxing to Nanjing, while Xie Shangzheng took Hong Anlan and others to pack up in Yongningwei, and rushed to the capital with all Yang Yingqian's belongings in advance.

In addition to the Yongning Acropolis, the group looked back at the city wall that was gradually moving away, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, this time, I am afraid that the hat of this eunuch will be worn.......
