Chapter 168: Zheng Lianchang is about to perish!

"So, the Japanese governor will give you my heart to help you with your lords." Fukang's rest after he paused, said warmly: "Pengfei, you are good at water warfare, and you are the few water commanders in my Qing Dynasty. Therefore, this governor has promoted you. I hope you can do more to Jingping, the four seas."

"Don't worry, the general is aware of his kindness, and he is in the five senses. He should serve the court with courage and death." Liang Pengfei immediately pointed to the sky and painted the earth, and expressed his loyalty to the court with a swift voice, and couldn't help but sweat in his heart. Fortunately, it would be easier to stay in Guangdong and Guangxi. If he followed Fukang'an to other areas, his foundation in Nanyang would be a bit difficult. After all, Liang Pengfei needed to make decisions on many things himself.

In fact, he was proficient in water war. In these several battles, he never fought with his opponent at sea. The first time he fought was the defense of King Crab Island. With the advantage of geographical features, he played the earth-to-sea, and then attacked Luzon by heavy artillery giant ships. In addition, the opponent had lost the cover of the fleet, the Liang family's fleet was abused by the other party. As for the smuggling case of the Guangzhou prefect, Liang Pengfei's big foot didn't even climb up the boat board, but he was tempted to lure the enemy deep.

As for attacking the Zheng family's lair, it still has little to do with water war. It can be said that Liang Pengfei should be a land war elite among the navy, or if he can use the classification of troops from later generations to assign him to the Marine Corps, it would be nice to have a little relationship with water.

However, in the eyes of Fu Kangan and the officials from Guangdong and Guangxi, he only felt that this guy was proficient in water warfare, but he ignored his specialties. But this would be good, so that he would not be dragged to Tibet by Fu Kangan. If there was a plateau to report, he would not know how he died.

At the end of the banquet, Heshen said his farewell on the excuse of his exhaustion on the journey and went to the guest room to rest. Liang Pengfei, the Guangdong Navy Admiral Zhao Chenglin, Zeng Shiye, and the General Wang Shouli, who was the governor of the Biao, stayed after the officials left and followed Fu Kang'an to the study together.

In the quiet study, except for them, even the maids and personal soldiers who served tea and water all left the study outside, leaving only a few of them inside. Liang Pengfei knew that Fu Kangan must have something to explain.

Fu Kangan cleared his throat and began to explain it one by one. Zhao Chenglin is now a first-rank official in the court and the admiral of the Guangdong Navy. However, in front of Fu Kangan, he still seemed very humble and cautious, and agreed with Fu Kangan's instructions.

Wang Shouli was also kept by Fu Kang'an and became the new general of the Guangdong Navy Humen Town. He jumped from a general to the position of general, which made Wang Shouli a little overjoyed. However, he still suppressed the joy in his heart and told Fu Kang'an that he was willing to serve in front of the general's saddle.

"You have been following me over the years and have done a good job. Now Chenglin is the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy, and people must be left to help. Originally, the Admiral promoted Huang Biao, but he had such a thought, and he was only annoyed that Sun Quanmou was... So, it was a last resort to keeping you and Liang Pengfei assisting Zhao Chenglin." Fu Kangan said lightly.

Hearing this, Zhao Chenglin cried bitterly, saying that he did not dare to let down General Fu's trust. Anyway, he was bullish and said something to be a waste of money. Fu Kangan nodded with satisfaction, and then said something to comfort Zhao Chenglin, and turned around and reminded Liang Pengfei. "You are now a lieutenant general of Humen Town, Guangdong Navy, to assist Wang Shouli. However, you have been promoted to lieutenant general, and it is not reasonable to just command Xin'an Camp.

The village is an important stronghold for monitoring the pirates of the Aberdeen Hong Kong and Lantau Island. Before the governor came to Guangdong and Guangxi, the strength of the Guangdong Navy was... Humph, it would be better not to mention it. Now that there are victories in a row, the emperor is happy, he has ordered to increase the losses of the Guangdong Navy. Therefore, the governor has decided to set up a camp in the Nantou Village to eliminate floods, that is, Xin'an and Nantou Second Battalions, under your command, to be optimistic about the Nanhai area for the Guangdong Navy and to monitor the thieves."

"Don't worry, the commander must be the navy and guard the southern gate of Guangdong for the court. He will definitely not let the commander down." Liang Pengfei replied proudly.

Fu Kang'an nodded with satisfaction: "There is another thing. Although Heshen is a little greedy, he is indeed a character and is deeply trusted by the emperor. Pengfei, you are good at checking your appearance and know how to behave and do things. Therefore, this governor will ask you to assist Heshen and Lord. If you do this well, you will benefit a lot in the future. Do you understand?"

After some instructions, Fu Kang'an let their confidants who were about to stay in Guangzhou leave the Governor's Office. With the evidence provided by Fu Kang'an and Liang Pengfei as an assistance, Heshen's case of smuggling in the Guangzhou Prefecture was smooth sailing, but in just a few days, the truth was revealed.

In the dungeon of the Governor's Palace in Guangdong and Guangxi, Erdenbu's fate was destined. After pleading guilty, Heshen took out a bottle of poisoned wine brought from the palace and told the dead-lost former emperor's confidant that if his family was safe, he had to find a way to take into account the emperor's face and then leave the dungeon with sacrificingness.

The next day, Fukang'an left Guangzhou and headed straight for Qinghai with a group of civil and military officials from Guangdong and Guangxi. A day later, Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who was acting as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, issued a document to the court regarding the death of Guangdong and Guangxi's customs supervisor Erdenbu. After dealing with the affairs, Heshen, the Minister of State, naturally left Guangdong and Guangxi.

"These days, the officials have learned a lot of experience in doing things under the masters. They are very talented and have great literary talent. No wonder the emperor appointed the master as the president of Guan Zheng of the Siku Quanshu. It is really wise." Liang Pengfei and Heshen sat in the private room in the restaurant. Here, only Liang Pengfei and Heshen were opposite each other.

The guards and others under Heshen were naturally arranged by Liang Pengfei to drink and have fun in other private rooms. Heshen's affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi had been handled, and he was about to leave Guangzhou in just one or two days. Liang Pengfei naturally would not miss any opportunity to get close to the number one corrupt official of the Qianlong Dynasty.

Over the past few days, under the show of Liang Pengfei, who is good at checking his face, Heshen was also very pleased that he could have such an assistant who was talented and knew how to please his assistant. For example, during the inspection of military affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi, there were many times when Heshen did not even need to reach out to him, and Liang Pengfei would set up a front station for him.

This made Heshen very satisfied, and even felt that Fu Kangan really knew how to look at people. Being able to arrange such a person to help him really saved him a lot of time and effort.

"You don't need to be too modest, haha, you've done a good job these days." Heshen smiled and picked up the fine wine filled with Liang Pengfei, took a sip.

"It's a pity that the adults are going to return to Beijing. The senior officials can no longer continue to learn from the adults. It's a pity in their life." Liang Pengfei said regretfully, after drinking all the wine in the glass, he whispered outside the door: "Come."

Bai Shusheng, dressed as a personal soldier, appeared at the door, holding a box in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Liang Pengfei. After Liang Pengfei took it, he placed it in front of Heshen, with a sincere look on his face: "It is not easy for an adult to come here. I have benefited a lot from listening to the teachings of the adults these days, but I have never been able to repay you. In two days, the adults will return to Beijing. The emperor has been thinking about it, but I don't know what to repay. Therefore, I specially prepared some small Cheng Yi, and I hope that the adults can accept it with a smile, so the emperor can feel a little at ease."

The sandalwood box was slowly opened by Heshen's hand. Inside were silver notes worth tens of thousands of taels. The entire wooden box was almost piled up with such thin paper. Even Heshen, the largest corrupt official in the world, could not help but be stunned by Liang Pengfei's big move.

The value of the silver notes here is at least 700,000 taels. Although Heshen was numb when he accepted bribes, he had never seen anyone who had spent nearly one million taels of silver at once.

However, who is Heshen? He is the most corrupt official since ancient times. Even if he is interested in the things in the palace, he will try every means to get them. Such a person has no money to dare to collect.

Heshen covered the sandalwood box with his hand again, and his fingers tapped on it rhythmically. He turned his face and looked at Liang Pengfei. He smiled meaningfully, but did not speak, as if he was waiting for Liang Pengfei to speak.

Liang Pengfei did not disappoint his expectations. "The Xiaguan is a warrior, and what he said may not be listened to. I hope the adults will understand each other. The Xiaguan wants to meet the adults, but for nothing else. I just want to have a backer in the court to speak for the Xiaguan in the future, so that the Xiaguan can sit more securely. After all, promotion and wealth are the Xiaguan's lifelong wishes. I hope the adults will not give up." Liang Pengfei bowed deeply to Heshen without any embarrassment.

This sentence was extremely straightforward, but it did express what Liang Pengfei thought, and this sentence also represented the thoughts of the officials who gave Heshen money, but no one was as naked as Liang Pengfei.

Heshen was still looking at Liang Pengfei, with a meaningful smile on his face, and his fingers were still gently tapping on the wooden box. Liang Pengfei lowered his eyebrows calmly, looking respectful.

"Hahaha... I know how to be a human being and do things. No wonder I can get the trust of Grandmaster Fu in just over half a year, and I jumped from a small battalion to a third-rank official in the court. Well, since that's the case, if He doesn't accept it, it's too disrespectful to He's actions. Cheng Yi and He will accept these, and they will be rewarded in the future. Well, if there is something wrong, you can send someone to..." Heshen lowered his voice. After whispering in Liang Pengfei's ear, Liang Pengfei understood it. Next, the two of them naturally had peace of mind to eat and drink, and the host and the host would have fun.

The satisfied Liang Pengfei returned to the mansion, took the sobering tea handed over by Bai Shusheng and took a large cup of wine, and then breathed a sigh of relief. "Have my father and the others rested? Is there nothing at home today?" This question was Sun Shijie who was waiting for him in the hall.

"Mr. Liang and his wife have rested. There is nothing to do at home. However, Miss Shi from the south has sent you a letter." Sun Shijie respectfully handed a letter to Liang Pengfei's hand and sat beside Liang Pengfei.

"The letter she gave me." Liang Pengfei pulled out the letter paper with doubt and realized what was going on. Danmei couldn't help but lock it up, because the news in the letter was indeed not good news. In the letter, Shi Xianggu told Liang Pengfei that the whereabouts of the Zheng family had been discovered. Zheng Lianchang found that his old nest was pounded and his treasure was plundered. After he had not stopped for a long time on Lantau Island, he searched for some reserved grain and ammunition supplies, and left Lantau Island on the third day and went straight west.

Recently, it was learned that Zheng Lianchang defected to the command of Nguyen Phuc Ying, a descendant of the royal family of King Nguyen, who was fighting against Nguyen Van Hui in the Xishan Dynasty. He was named General Jinghai by Nguyen Phuc Ying and continued to command his old subordinates and fight against Nguyen Phuc.

"I didn't expect this guy to be really decisive. The hero cut off his arm, just like that." After hearing Liang Pengfei's message in the letter, Sun Shijie couldn't help but frown slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Zheng Lianchang is really a hero." Liang Pengfei nodded and stood up. Shi Xianggu had other news in the letter. The Green Flag Gang had already used the excuse to guard the family for his allies and sent troops to occupy Lantau Island in advance. However, his behavior aroused more people's disgust. However, everyone now doesn't know whether the Zheng family really entrusts Xu Sanyan. Although the Red Flag Gang has left now, its strength is still there. If others intend to get involved, who knows what will happen at that time? Therefore, the pirates of the Han family are still in a wait-and-see situation.

"Sir, this Lantau Island is located at the mouth of the Pearl River. It is a key place for the throat. It can attack and retreat and defend. This is how the Zheng family can stand in Guangdong, Guangxi and Shuiyu for more than a hundred years. Even if you don't recommend it, you should use your own strength to stand on it." Sun Shijie cleared his throat and said to Liang Pengfei. To be honest, he didn't think Liang Pengfei would be unmoved by such a large piece of fat.

Liang Pengfei shook his head: "I think too, but now is not the time. Lantau Island is indeed dangerous, but it is deep within the sphere of influence of the Dan family, and it is most likely to be attacked from both sides. After all, Zheng Lianchang is a Dan family pirate. After all, Aberdeen Hong Kong is a Dan family pirate. If my old Liang family intervenes, those Dan family members will probably attack him, and they will gain and not lose. Another point is that if I persuade Fu Kangan to enter Lantau Island, it will inevitably annoy those Dan pirates. So, what I should see now is to watch coldly instead of rushing to do anything."

"What the Lord said is that Sun was not considering it well. However, if the Green Flag Gang allowed to occupy this place, he would become a confidant for the adults to guard Xin'an and Nantou in the future."

"It's okay, although Xu Sanyan from the Green Flag Gang is also capable, his move is too short-sighted. He will soon become the target of public criticism. At that time, I will help you secretly. This Lantau Island will definitely fall into the hands of the Shi family. At that time, what's the difference between it and the young master at that time?" Liang Pengfei showed a strange smirk on his face. "As for Zheng Lianchang, he actually wanted to join Ruan Phucing, he can only say that his good luck has come to an end, and the Zheng family is about to perish!"
