Chapter 340 Fujian also got a blow to the head!
What does a silver mean? It is to reward Liang Pengfei with a title that can get paid to eat even if he doesn't work. However, this is the lowest title in the Qing Dynasty: Enqiwei, and how big is this Enqiwei? It is equivalent to seven grades.
And it is also a second grade, a little higher than the third grade and a little lower than the first grade. How much is the salary of this captain? The annual salary is forty-five taels... As for the bird feather, of course, it is not chicken feathers, but peacock feathers and one-eyed feathers. You know, the reward of this one-eyed feather is really shocking. You should know that among the ministers of Manchu and Han dynasties, those who are qualified to enjoy the feathers are meritorious people or old ministers for decades. No, it can't be rewarded without war achievements.
For example, Fu Kang'an is a three-eyed flower, and He Lin is now a double-eyed flower, while Liang Pengfei happens to be a general, and he happens to have made war achievements, and the court does not want him to be promoted again as a young generation. However, since he is a typical national propaganda, he has made contributions and can't be rewarded, so it is easy to reward. The bird's hair is over.
"What a broken title, it's only 45 taels of silver, which is not as good as the annual salary of the pirates of our old Liang family. It's your grandmother's..." Under the gaze of a pair of red eyes, Liang Pengfei, who was already unable to laugh and cry in his heart, still had to put on a grateful expression of gratitude. After the bird's hair, well, I took over the official hat with one-eyed feathers and the decree of the title. In my heart, I continuously expressed my cordial greetings to Qianlong's female relatives.
Thinking of the salary of the captain who was only 45 taels of silver that year, I looked at the official hat on my head and put a bright swaying peacock hair in the hat. I thought that in my previous life, I often scolded my nosy as an old peacock. Now, I actually carried peacock hair and pretended to be proud of it. Thinking of this, Liang Pengfei was poor. Tears flowed down my face, and I really sighed at the wonders of fate.
"I'm young, but I'm brave and good at fighting, and my achievements are outstanding. It's really the blessing of my Qing Dynasty." Changlin reached out and patted Liang Pengfei's arm, and stroked Liang Pengfei with a kind face. He shirked all the responsibility for the defeat, and the unharmed governor of Guangdong and Guangxi swept away his previous sad face. Now, although he is not happy, at least his eyebrows are very appropriate.
--------------------
The two Guangwen and martial arts around, whether they are jealous or envious, at this moment, they squeezed out enthusiastic smiles and congratulated Liang Pengfei. After a hard time, Liang Pengfei finally dealt with these guys, and everyone settled down.
"The emperor has issued an order that the commander-in-chief of Fu will be the general of Jinghai, and the governors of Liangguang, Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces will go south from the capital division to fight south." Changlin turned his head to Liang Pengfei and the new general of the Shizhen Marine Division. He nodded to them and continued to speak.
Hearing the news, Liang Pengfei couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed that the old guy Qianlong was really anxious. He actually let the governor of Fukang'an, water, land and soldiers in the five provinces. Good boy, what a favor this is. However, I don't know if Fu Kang'an can rush to the sea before the British blockade the Yangtze River. If the British let Britain The guy was blocked in the Yangtze River. I don't know if Fu Kang'an would vomit three liters of blood angrily.
"Governor, Fujian Emergency Report, Fujian Emergency Report..." Just when Liang Pengfei fell into a state of absent-asure, there was a high and urgent shout outside the hall, and everyone in the hall couldn't help looking out of the hall in a little stunned.
"What's going on?" Changlin stood up and asked out angrily.
A military officer rushed into the hall and bowed to the ground, and submitted an emergency official document with both hands: "At the end, Wei Hai, the general of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, came to the governor of Liangguang, and I said to the governor that before the fifth day of the battalion of the water division in Nan'ao Town of Fujian, it was broken by the fleet of the Yingyi navy. Lan Sheng, the new commander-in-chief of Nan'ao Town, fought tirelessly for Yingyi. He was killed by artillery fire. Zhao Honglin, the general of Chenghai Camp, led the troops and horses of the headquarters to fight against the enemy, but he was knocked over by the enemy ship. Now his life and death are uncertain..."
"What?!" Wenwu in the hall all jumped up with a look of shock.
The Wei Shen continued to tell the story: "In addition to the Haimen camp and Dahao camp, the Zhenbiao left camp went north and retreated, and finally retreated to Jinmen. Nan'ao has fallen into the hands of the Yingyi thieves. Now, our Fujian and Zhejiang sailors have been waiting, holding on Jinmen, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places, and will definitely invade. The heroes gathered and annihid it to show my heavenly dynasty..."
"What the hell is it? I'm waiting for him. I can't shrink at all. I'm afraid of the enemy and refuses to fight." Liang Pengfei curled his lips and muttered in a low voice. Wu Qianjin beside him could only roll his eyes vigorously. At this time, there were people around him, but Master Liang's words were favored and recognized by his colleagues in Guangdong sailors.
After all, at least the Guangdong sailors still have the courage to rush out and fight with the British. Although they lost, they had at least had the courage to rush out. In contrast, the Fujian sailors, the head town of Nan'ao asked the British to give them all the dishes, and the rest of the sailors simply fled with their buttocks between their buttocks.
Compared with that, the Guangdong navy at least abolished several British warships (it is customary to submit more than a dozen ships to the court, and everyone knows it). There are more than a thousand beheadings and more than a thousand prisoners. Compared with the record, of course, Guangdong officers and soldiers have reasons to be proud.
At the end of the official document, Wulana, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, hoped that Lin, the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, would take a look at the sake of the party and the country. Oh, it was wrong. Everyone was full and they were neighbors to each other. In addition, they had a joint battle, so he took a hand in his brother.
"I'll give you a hand. Who will pull me then?" Changlin's face was calm at all, but he had been scolding in his heart. Fortunately, Wu Lana came up with the idea of borrowing troops from him. Why didn't you see your Fujian and Zhejiang sailors coming to ask for help when the Guangdong navy was beaten?
Not only pushed three obstacles, but even some people said sarcastic words, saying that the Guangdong Marine Division had no combat effectiveness at all, and actually made the barbarians become disabled.
Now I've been beaten by the British, and I know that I've run over to ask for help? No way.
Changlin, who was actually a little gloating in his heart, showed a worried look on his face: "I didn't expect that Fujian was also attacked by those damn Yingyi. By the way, I remember that the last time I asked the governor to meet your family's governor, Governor Wu did not say that all the ministries under his command were all soldiers. The spirit is high, and the enemy who is coming to invade will gather the enemy and annihily annihily overseas in Fujian and Zhejiang. How can they be defeated like this?
How dare this Fujian military officer take care of these high-level matters? Besides, he explained that it was useless, so he had to answer in a low voice, "This... I really don't know it. Please also ask the governor to send troops as soon as possible to help me in Fujian and Zhejiang, so that the people in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces will not be disturbed by the thief, resulting in the displacement of the people.
"Alas, General Wei Shen, please get up quickly. It's not that the governor doesn't allow you to invite, but it's a matter of great importance. We should be cautious. Moreover, our Guangdong navy was severely frustrated by the British and Yi thieves a month ago, and the soldiers were damaged. Self-protection is not enough. Where can there be a naval warship sent to Fujian and Zhejiang... If not, you sit here, I will think about it. In a word, Fujian and Zhejiang and I rely on each other. If we don't ask for it, it is not only against the friendship of our colleagues, but also lives up to the emperor's hope that the ministers and subordinates will be sincere and united, and the things are only loyal to the king. After Changlin helped Wei Shen, he directly fooled Wei Shen.
--------------------
After the Wei Shen general left, Changlin's face was rigid and his eyes were very sternly glanced at the water and land generals present: "Now our Guangdong navy has lost soldiers and soldiers. You have stepped up the recruitment of navy soldiers and horses, and strictly trained so that we can become an army early and defend the waters of Guangdong. Before that, no one should go to fight lightly. If there is any Those who violate the order should be engaged in military law.
"The last general will obey!" Everyone jumped up and answered quickly. At this time, they had already seen the strength of the British. Originally, several soldiers and horses were too far away from the mouth of the river and did not seize the opportunity to make contributions. As a result, after hearing of Pu Zhigao's defeat, they all thought that they were wise and cautious sailors and were naturally willing to follow their fate. Very.
As for the rescue of the Fujian and Zhejiang sailors, whoever likes to go, anyway, the words of the governor are in line with the wishes of everyone present. In a word, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang can't control Laozi Liangguang, and we also promised you, but when to send troops... This needs to be discussed.
"Mr. Liang, now, Humen is the key point of my Guangdong. I hope that Mr. Liang can defend this place well. Don't slack off. As for the general soldiers of Wu, you should stay in Shizhen. If you can't stay, just repatriate your place of origin. However, you should call for training as soon as possible. Don't talk about ordnance and firearms. If you have any requests, just report it. I believe that Mr. Liang won't look at what he used to say that his subordinates were without soldiers, would he? Changlin stepped forward and patted the new general of Shizhen Town, Wu Qianjin, and then patted Liang Pengfei, with a look on your very optimistic expression.
"Please be relieved, Governor, and the last general will do his best to help the general." Liang Pengfei was very happy in his heart. Even if you don't say it all the time, I will fill the Shizhen for Wu Qianjin, and he is definitely a top soldier.
Although Wu Qianjin has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of Jianshi Town, he is actually a light-pole commander. Pu Zhishang's Jianshi Town has a total of four battalions of sailors, left and right battalions in Pinghai. But in fact, according to Liang Pengfei, as far, only three-quarters of this guy's soldiers have been recruited so far, and A thousand are waiting to eat empty meals.
Nowadays, except for the less than 600 defeated soldiers, the rest let Pu Zhigao help him throw into the South China Sea to feed fish in advance, and he himself is currently dead in prison. Even the remaining 600 people, not to mention Wu Qianjin, even the generals of other sailors shake their heads when they see it, really It's too frustrating. They are all old, weak, sick and disabled. No one is willing to take it. Therefore, Changlin also decided to ignore the 600 soldiers.
What Chang Lin doesn't know is that his arrangement is just adding bricks and tiles to the power of Master Liang's navy in Guangdong...
