Chapter 321 The imperial decree in the Governor's Palace!
Chapter 321 The Imperial Order in the Governor’s Office!
In 1793, the 58th year of Qianlong, a lot of things happened in this year. However, for the court that was guarding and defending themselves, they only remembered the ten-perfect martial arts of the Qing Dynasty, the King of Qianlong, and the conquest of Gurkha, making him pay tribute, and entrusting the righteous army of the king, helping the Lord Li to restore the country of Annan for thousands of miles. The Western barbarians traveled thousands of miles, and went through thousands of difficulties and hardships. They admired the name of the Heavenly Dynasty and came to pay tribute...
In short, in a word, singing and dancing, and living in peace, and dreaming of death, are nothing more than this.
In the south, Guangzhou City welcomed a new master, Changlin, the new governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. His arrival made Guo Shixun, the acting governor who has been diligently managing Guangdong and Guangxi affairs for nearly a year, very dissatisfied. However, despite his dissatisfaction, he did not dare to refuse the new immediate boss.
Moreover, the new Guangzhou General Fuchang also arrived in Guangzhou with Changlin. On the day when Prince Shaobao, Guangdong and Guangxi Governor Changlin and Guangzhou General Fuchang arrived in Guangzhou, it was already early winter. It was only half a month since the British envoy occupied Manila, and less than two months after the British launched a war of aggression against China. However, among these people, except Liang Pengfei, they knew nothing about what happened in Nanyang. This is a ridiculous thing, at least Liang Pengfei thought so.
In order to congratulate the new governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the Guangzhou General on his appointment, a grand welcome banquet was held in the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Almost all officials from Guangdong and Guangxi officials in Guangzhou or who are qualified to receive the notice came. Liang Pengfei, the general of Humen Town, Guangdong Navy, was also present.
Among the military generals attending, there were eight generals from both water and land, four water and four land, plus two admirals, one Guangzhou general, and some other deputy generals, but there were also many civil servants. Of course, many famous gentry from Guangdong and Guangxi also came. There was no way. Since there were a new governor and a general, everyone came to join in the fun and make a familiar face. This was inevitable.
"Come on, everyone, let's do it first." Wang Shouli, the navy admiral, had already drunk his face and had only been in the position of the navy admiral for less than a year. However, Wang Shouli had already gained a lot of weight. His body, which was originally agile and majestic, now seemed to be a bit bloated.
However, this can only prove that the Admiral Wang is really careless. Annan's problem has been solved. Cai Qiannao was in Fujian and Zhejiang, which is nothing to do with him. Now, after Western opium smuggling was repeatedly attacked by his beloved general Liang Pengfei, the sea in Guangdong is calm. Those thieves who originally liked to make trouble and turned the Pearl River Estuary and Guangdong Sea seemed to have disappeared, and they became much more honest.
However, in the eyes of Wang Shouli and the officials of Guangdong and Guangxi, all of this was caused by Liang Pengfei's reputation. His subordinates almost never lived. This is a point that the officials of Guangdong and Guangxi and the generals in the military agreed.
In the last time in the case of the Guangzhou prefect, there were more than 300 heads. Then, when we arrived in Annan, this guy actually defeated the more with fewer people, and he also wiped out all his head, with more than 5,000 heads landing immediately.
Next, there were not many people back to Guangzhou. Cai Qian attacked the British envoy. Guangdong naturally sent Liang Pengfei, a brave and warlike general, to take action. As a result, before the pirates started to clean up, they repaired a smuggler and wiped out all the money...
Before, the encirclement and suppression of the Cai Qian pirate group on Yunaguo Island was still completely annihilated...
When I think of Liang Pengfei's bloody military achievements, whether it is the officials of Guangdong and Guangxi, or the Fujian and Zhejiang naval commanders who worked with him, they are all cold sweating.
Think about the consequences of those who had had conflicts with Liang Pengfei. Guangzhou magistrate Lenggeli committed suicide. This is the official statement, but in fact, the real situation of the case has long been spread throughout the official class in Guangdong and Guangxi, so it is naturally unrelated to this guy.
In the backstage of Lenggeli, Guangdong Customs Supervisor Erdenbu also disliked Liang Pengfei very much. As a result, he was given suicide because of the smuggling case, saying that he died of illness. However, there was no secret between officials from Guangdong and Guangxi, so everyone knew the truth very well.
There is also the son of Cai Shiwen, the former thirteen general manager, who had fought with him, Liang Pengfei, on the street. Although this guy beat the son of the Cai family, the result was.
Liang Pengfei's father-in-law squeezed into the position of general merchants. In less than two months, Shi Zhonghe, a businessman who had close ties with the Cai family, owed huge amounts of goods to foreign merchants and was forced to sell their property to repay them. However, the family's assets were not worth nearly 600,000 taels of foreign debt. The court ordered Shi Zhonghe to be imprisoned and later distributed to Yili.
The general manager of the Thirteenth League, Wan and Cai Shiwen, committed suicide because they still owed more than 500,000 taels of debt after owing debts with capital. The debt was originally planned to be recovered by the merchants of various schools, but the Cai family fled one after another. In the end, the debt fell on the Guangli merchant Lu Guanheng, who was closely related to it.
At this time, Pan Youdu stood up, and now, a group of extremely close concerns has been formed between Guanglixing Lu Guanheng, Ye Shanglin and Pan Youdu. The three of them accounted for almost half of the trade volume of the thirteenth line.
Although this matter has nothing to do with Liang Pengfei, and before that, Liang Pengfei is not in the spirit of competing with a businessman, it is another impression in the eyes of officials from Guangdong and Guangxi.
In secret, in the evaluation of Liang Pengfei by officials from Guangdong and Guangxi and Fujian and Zhejiang, in addition to being brave and good at fighting and brave in responsibilities, they naturally have more reputations of being cruel and easy to kill, and will be rewarded with a bad reputation. Because of this reason, and Liang Pengfei has been in the army for a long time, except for limited official generals such as Wang Shouli, almost no one wants to get too close to him. After all, everyone is very energetic and hypnotized: good shoes do not step on stinky dog shit.
However, the generals of the Guangdong Navy still have a good impression of this generous and generous General Liang. Moreover, Guo Shixun and others have a good impression of him. After all, this army is already corrupt and the military discipline is scattered, it is still a lot of headaches and troublesome to have such a tiger general guarding the seas of Guangdong and Guangxi.
"Brother, this time I went to Nanyang for two months. Thank you so much for your hard work. Come on, I will give you a glass of toast you." Wang Shouli reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead and picked up the wine glass again.
Liang Pengfei's face was already bitter at this moment. Although he thought he could not resist the fierce attacks of these military gangsters who were apart from drinking and gambling to play women on weekdays, so he had to smile and beg for mercy and said, "My old brother, let me spare me. If you drink it, you really have to go under the table to play."
"You can't say that. The navy commander will be responsible for the sea surface of our province. In the past, you all have worked hard. I have been in the navy for more than a year. Of course, I should have been in this situation. This book is nothing. In other words, if you can run more on the sea, your body will feel much more alive." Liang Pengfei drank it all, poured wine for Wang Shouli and the generals present, and said with a smile.
"I am a man at sea. Just one word, you should show your true nature as a hero. Come on, brother, I will also like to pay a cup to you." Next to him, Pu Zhigao, the general general of the navy of Jieshi Town, raised the cup in front of Liang Pengfei, which made Liang Pengfei beg for mercy. Everyone laughed. But they heard that someone next to him coughed twice.
The few people stopped playing, turned their heads and saw clearly the people coming, and quickly stood up: "I (the last general) meet with the Governor General, General Fu."
The visitors were Changlin, the new governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Fuchang, the new general of Guangzhou. Both of them stood by the table with wine glasses in their hands. Changlin stroked the long beard under his chin and smiled and said, "Hehe, I want to drink with you, but I didn't expect that it disturbed the generals' interest."
"I dare not, Qiu Bayi is so lazy. I hope the Governor-General and General Fu are not surprised." Wang Shouli still did not dare to have any entrustedness and answered respectfully.
After a while, Liang Pengfei and others quickly filled the cup and drank it with the two big guys. At this time, Changlin had no intention of leaving and looked at Liang Pengfei carefully. When he was just introduced, Changlin's eyes made Liang Pengfei look a little furious. Now, Changlin's eyes made Liang Pengfei feel like he wanted to kick people, "Is this old guy a glass?" Liang Pengfei, who was thinking about it, suddenly had goose bumps on his body.
"After the banquet is over, please stay for the time being. I have official duties and I want to discuss with you." After looking at Liang Pengfei for a few glances, Changlin smiled and said something, turned around and left the table, leaving Liang Pengfei and others with confusion.
"Public Affairs. I said, what the hell is this governor? I just entered Guangzhou today. I was only half full of this meal, so I had to talk about official affairs." Next to me, a deputy general of the navy looked puzzled, and reluctantly picked up the wine glass, then sighed and let it go. Since the new governor had official affairs to discuss, the wine would not be able to drink it. Otherwise, there would be no need to talk about official affairs at that time. Instead, the new governor and the Guangzhou general admired a group of drunkards performing what performance art was in front of them with bare butts.
"Since that's the case, then don't drink it. Anyway, my brothers have the opportunity to gather together. Come on and eat vegetables. This abalone is really good." Liang Pengfei didn't think so much. It was useless to think about it anyway. The main reason was that Changlin's expression made him feel that things were weird.
But one thing is certain. Since Changlin is looking for a navy, even if it is related to him, it will only be related to the navy. Liang Pengfei believes that his reputation will not be as famous as at home and abroad, so there is nothing to worry about.
