Chapter 160 Naked calculation of promotion and wealth!

"Sun Quan, the commander of the water division in Zuojiang Town, was wounded and captured. He did not know whether he was alive or dead. Huang Biao, a guerrilla general, fought to the death and led the ship directly to the enemy's chieftain. In the chaotic army, he was bombarded by the enemy's heavy artillery and died. Lin Guoliang was timid about the enemy in the fierce battle. The three battalions of sailors under his command retreated in a hurry, but he was ambushed by the Zheng pirates. The three battalions of sailors fled back to Qi. Less than half of them are in Australia. Vice general Lin Guangyu and general Qian Bangyan fought fiercely with the sea invaders Xu Sanyan in the waters of Dahengqin Island for a day and a night, regardless of victory or defeat. In the end, Xu Sanyan was defeated by the king's division, and more than a thousand men and dozens of warships were defeated and fled. Lin Guangyu, the deputy general, was also hit by the naval battleship and did not pursue..." Sun Shijie read out the official document, which made Liang Pengfei, who had just rushed back to the Xin'an Marine Division Camp, trembled.

"The Liangguang Water Division, after this battle, the elite is almost lost." Liang Pengfei shook his head. Such a result was really a little beyond his expectation. He never thought that the coaxed General Sun, who commanded more than 10,000 sailors, met the Zheng Red Flag Gang with similar troops, and actually fought like this. It was simply from Zhao Chengling, the admiral of the Guangdong Marine Division, and Fu Kang'an, the governor of Liangguang. The face was covered with a layer of black oil paint that can't be washed off.

"Yes, there are only six of the eleven sailion battalions that can be maintained. The five sailor battalions are almost lost. Half of the military officers above the garrison died, and even the commander was captured alive. This kind of record is really..." Sun Shijie also looked contemptuous. This is the sailor of Daqing.

"In fact, this is also normal. Although it is eleven navy battalions, according to the establishment, the strength of each navy battalion should have thousands of people, but those battalions will not be as good as our adults. It is normal to eat empty pay, ranging from one or two hundred to three or four hundred, and the maintenance of weapons and ships. In all aspects, officials at all levels are trying to make money. Those soldiers have also been trained for a long time. I'm afraid it's good to be able to go to the sea like fishermen. Water war..." Wu Liang, the general manager of the camp, also looked contemptuous.

"However, you'd better be careful, my lord." After a moment of hesitation, Sun Shijie said to Liang Pengfei.

Liang Pengfei couldn't help looking at Sun Shijie with some astonishment. What do you mean by this?

Wu Liang vaguely understood what was going on: "Your Excellency, this time several elites have died. Only adults have won this victory all the way. I'm afraid they will definitely provoke a lot of people..."

Liang Pengfei smiled. His voice was not loud, but it was very cold. There were two big cold guels in his eyes: "I see, but don't worry, my credit is obvious. What can they do? Can't you play it to the court in the shade? Don't forget that some people hate me, but some people can't wait to make me a typical.

Sun Shijie's eyes lit up: "Your Excellency, do you mean Fu Kang'an and Zhao Chengba?"

"Of course it's them. You think, this battle is an order from these two themselves. In this battle, except for my great victory, other people from all walks of life, either the commander was captured and the pirates were disabled, or they were stopped by the pirates and could not achieve the set goal. If you pull me down again, Fu Kang'an and Zhao Chengn's faces really don't even have a shred of fig leaf. Can they agree? Liang Pengfei is not stupid. The important thing is that he also knows how to grasp people's hearts.

--------------------

"A few days ago, my father-in-law sent me the news that the emperor had sent envoys, officials, co-organizers, and Shen to go south to thoroughly investigate the case of Guangzhou magistrate's involvement in opium smuggling. The governor of the customs governor is now difficult to protect himself. In this world, there are many people who have fallen into the well and protect themselves. It's not too much. How can you get this bad luck? He is just a domestic slave of the emperor. Compared with Fu Kang'an, the emperor has his own calculations in his heart.

Liang Pengfei's words are so sure that he is because he is a time traveler and understands Qianlong's feelings for Fu Kang'an. It can be said that as long as Fu Kang'an does not oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty and what kind of mistakes he has made, this Qianlong will definitely protect Fukang'an. Who let this Emperor of the Qing Dynasty look at this Fu Kang'an extremely pleasing to the eyes? Question mark

Even the most famous favorite minister of the Qianlong Dynasty, He Shen, who met the Fu Marshal, could only retreat and find ways to get his brother Fu Long'an. It was because he knew that in Qianlong's eyes, this Fu Marshal was simply like a biological son's favorite.

"Since the adult is so well versed in powerful joints, Mr. Sun is much relieved. In this war, the victory of our Xin'an Water Division Camp is indeed fruitful. He not only broke through the nest of the Zheng family of the Red Flag Gang on Lantau Island, but also captured hundreds of relatives of the Zheng family, and even Zheng Lianchang's wife and children were captured. This achievement alone is enough to make the emperor's face happy. The Zheng family has been in the waters of Liangguang for more than a hundred years, and has always been the confidant of the court in Liangguang. Sun Shijie also felt that Liang Pengfei's analysis was very reasonable, so he let go of his mind and discussed the results of the battle.

"Tay, with my achievements this time, can I work as a guerrilla or a general?" Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes and began to plan nakedly to get promoted and make a fortune, killing Wu Liang and Sun Shijie.

However, Sun Shijie understood his master's temper, and soon adjusted his mentality. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "With the adult's last record, he was promoted to the capital, but he was captured. Now, both armies have lost, and only the adults have made great achievements in the battle. If he does it properly, I'm afraid it will be a general and a guerrilla. It's just between the emperor's thoughts.

"That's right, what is the fastest promotion in the Qing Dynasty? That's the achievement of war. Your excellency is now deeply favored by the Governor of Fu, and he is also the person who pulled up by the Governor of Fu himself. This time, he raised his face for the governor of Fu again. The general is sure. It's a guerrilla, and the subordinate thought it was possible. Wu Liang also analyzed the problem in a practical way.

Liang Pengfei stood up and paced slowly in the camp. After a long time, he turned his face and looked at these two. As you know, this time, I not only took the nest of the Zheng family, but also seized a batch of treasures of the Zheng family. If I submit this batch of treasures, can you say, can I get the position of general?

"Your Excellency, why do you care so much about the promotion of official positions?" Sun Shijie couldn't help asking, and now Liang Pengfei's performance is simply an official fan.

"Because I want to have more power, more freedom, and more strength. God doesn't have much time left for me. Liang Pengfei seemed to be talking to himself, and he always confided his mind to his heart. Hearing that Sun Shijie and Wu Liang's hearts beat wildly, their faces changed.

In this case, although it is a metaphor, there is a naked danger in his bones. Liang Pengfei's ambition is not just a promotion. Wu Liang and Sun Shijie had such an idea in their minds at the same time. They looked at each other and looked away. This news is really a little shocking.

Staying under Liang Pengfei's hands for a long time, both of them vaguely felt that Liang Pengfei, who had a little affection for the court, seemed to be planning something that was likely to destroy the family, but they gradually realized Liang Pengfei's real strength, and that he had so much power outside the Qing Dynasty. After the territory, there was a little expectation in their hearts, but they also tacitly did not mention it, because now they really don't see any hope. Today, Liang Pengfei's words can't help but make their hearts burst. Could it be that this scheming words are like the young of a thousand-year-old ghost. People can't help it after all?

Liang Pengfei did not continue to talk. After a pause, he said again: "In this battle, a total of 6.2 million taels of silver have been seized. There are tens of thousands of other treasures and antiques, and the discount of silver is nearly more than 6 million taels. I'm going to hand them all over to the Governor Fu, but Sun Shijie, you have prepared the official documents for me. At that time, it is said that 4.5 million taels of silver have been seized, and the precious antiques do not need to be counted. As for silver, I will take 6 million taels, and the remaining 200,000 taels will be distributed as the welfare of the battalion soldiers and officers of the Xin'an Marine Division. For the war dead, do you understand?

"Your excellency, don't worry, the little one will definitely do this matter properly." Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Sun Shijie could only admire him. Liang Pengfei was not only cruel, but also his men were black enough. As for those treasures and antiques, they were left to the Fu Marshal to choose and then hand them over. Such bribery was so shrewd and capable, and brave to do things, and returned to himself. If he is not guaranteed, if he doesn't find a way to help him, unless he is a poor child with mental retardation.

"Mr. Wu Qian, you two set off immediately and rushed to Guangzhou to report the situation here. Please ask the Governor to send troops to escort the Zheng family to Guangzhou. I don't want to make any errands on the way." Liang Pengfei turned his eyes and ordered Wu Liang again. Although he won this battle by chance, the strength of the Zheng family was not damaged. Who knew whether they would patrol the Pearl River waterway and rob their relatives. Therefore, Liang Pengfei would rather be more secure. At this time, he could not take any risk.

"The subordinate obeys." Wu Liang quickly got up and responded to the order.

--------------------

After watching these people leave the camp, Liang Pengfei sat on the chair, took the cigar handed over by Bai Shusheng, and let the monk Chen light the cigar for himself. After smashing a few mouthfuls, he leisurely spewed out a mouthful of fragrant smoke. Liang Pengfei still didn't say all about some things. Just like the seizure this time, the more than 6.2 million taels of silver is only a fraction. In fact, the treasure treasure found by Liang Pengfei and his son in the Zheng family's treasure place is more than 26 million taels of silver alone, and there are 5 million taels of gold, and those treasures and antiques are even more important. In terms of that, Liang Pengfei and his son naturally first intercepted a part of the fine treasures and antiques, and the rest were handed over as the trophies seized by Liang Pengfei. Naturally, all five million taels of gold were left, and 20 million taels of silver was also deducted, so it was worth the people to pay 6.2 million taels.

These two items add up to more than tens of millions of taels of silver. Such a big handwork, not to mention Fu Kang'an, even if Emperor Qianlong heard such news, he couldn't help but be happy. You should know that the tax of the Qing Dynasty was only more than 50 million taels a year. Liang Pengfei not only did not lose money, but also earned tens of millions of taels for the court, which is equivalent to 20% of the national tax revenue. How they don't like it? Compared with the failure of Sun Quanmou and others, Liang Pengfei's achievements can indeed be called dazzling.

"The master has just delivered the news that all the things have been placed. In addition, he has transferred three million taels of silver to the central islands of Luzon in order to recruit craftsmen, speed up the construction there, and hire those Spanish technicians to start the gold mine there as soon as possible, then the burden on our side will also be reduced. In addition, a thousand young people have been transferred from the Luzon immigrants to Crab King Island to learn various knowledge and skills. In addition, all the Xiyi teachers we hired through Governor Luzon are also in place. At present, ten classes have been added to Crab King Island..." Bai Shusheng reported to Liang Pengfei at this time. The latest news from Crab King Island.

Liang Pengfei nodded: "Okay, as long as you can find a teacher, it's easy to do it. If there is not enough translation, you can choose some trustworthy interpreters from the Liang clan in Guangzhou. By the way, those interpreters who go to Crab King Island, if they are willing, take them up with their families. If they don't want to, their salary will be It's twice as much as before. In addition, we will take care of their families, so that people can work for us at ease.

"Okay, there is another thing. The master said that all kinds of infrastructure construction on the crab king island are almost done now. You are still useful for the more than 1,000 Spanish prisoners of war, but what should we do with the thousands of pirate prisoners of war?"

"Choose some honest and skilled ones from them to stay, and the rest for me to be sent to the Central Islands of Luzon. Isn't it always said that there was a lack of labor? In addition, if the gold mine starts to be mined, the labor force will be more nervous. Thousands of people have passed by, and I think they should be able to solve these problems temporarily. Liang Pengfei smiled and said that he did not have any sympathy for these Western pirates. Squeezing all their surplus value is Liang Pengfei's favorite thing to do, because I don't know how many Chinese people's blood these pirates' hands were stained. If they were dealt with, it would be regarded as a bargain for them.

"There is another thing, Sister Mary asked the little one to forward a letter to you." Liang Pengfei quietly came forward at this time and presented the letter to Liang Pengfei's hand. After carefully reading the content of the letter, Liang Pengfei scratched his scalp. Her Royal Highness Princess Maria seemed to be a little tired of Crab King Island, and also saw that Liang Pengfei did not mean to abuse and harm the Spanish prisoners of war, but hired those prisoners of war in the way of mercenaries, which made her let go. With the last trace of worry, Princess Maria wanted to go to the mainland, see the mysterious name of the East with her own eyes, and leave Crab King Island.

" By the way, my father didn't see anything, did he?" Liang Pengfei lowered his voice with a guilty heart.

Bai Shusheng couldn't help grinning: "Young master, what kind of person the master is? How can he not even see this kind of thing? However, the master said that you can handle your own business by yourself. As long as you can handle it, even if you marry a hundred wives, he has no problem. That is, it is best to add more children and grandchildren to Lao Liang's family and spread the branches and leaves..."

Listening to Bai Shusheng's words, Master Liang's face was black. Shit, he could imagine his father's old face in his mind and kept nagging. A hundred wives, according to my father's idea, don't do anything, just take it as a walking sowing machine.

"Allo, I already know what my father's words mean. Well, since she wants to come over, it's not impossible, but let's wait until I come back from Guangzhou. At that time, there should be no big problem to buy a house in Xin'an County and let her settle there. To be honest, Liang Pengfei also thinks about this beautiful and enchanting ocean horse. Well, it should be said that it is a beautiful woman with exotic customs.

Seeing Bai Shusheng's obscene face, Liang Pengfei couldn't help staring at this guy. All right, let me do all these things. By the way, after Sun Shijie has made a book of the silver and treasures that have been shipped, he will send Wu Qianjin to Guangzhou first and directly to the governor's office of Liangguang. It's better to do things in a little hidden way. Don't let me be robbed halfway. As for the criminal who is now detained in Xin'an County, just wait for Mr. Wu Qian's news first. At that time, I will follow the troops who came to escort me back to Guangzhou.

"Young master, don't worry, the little ones will definitely do it for you." Bai Shusheng nodded and said with a smile.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Later, hand the message to Miss Shi and tell her that after I finish my work, I will come to visit her father in person. This time, her father has no reason to stop us." Liang Pengfei thought of Shi Xianggu with a big belly. Liang Pengfei felt a pain in his heart, as if there were seventeen or eighteen monkeys scratching. His daughter-in-law didn't know whether it was good or not now, and the child in his stomach didn't know what was going on.

Bai Shusheng and Monk Chen, who had already acquiesced that Shi Xianggu was his young lady, couldn't help but feel a little sad when they saw the young master's widowed expression. Don't worry, young master. If Mr. Shi dares to stop him again, at worst, he will rob people. Who will our old Liang family be afraid of? Monk Chen said in a muffled voice.

"O all right, we are sveners, not bandits. Your young master, I'm marrying a daughter-in-law, not a wife of the village. Can you have a little quality? Don't fight and kill all day long. There are few people like me who are knowledgeable and polite, alas..." Liang Pengfei looked at the monk Chen angrily. It seems that he has really become this Binbin gentleman, not a thug who often wants to rob, kill and set fire with a knife.

"..." Hearing the brazen bragging of the young master, Bai Shusheng and monk Chen could only roll their eyes speechlessly.
