Chapter 322: An atypical mentally retarded who thinks he is...

Although Qianlong was extremely arrogant, he was very alert to the British's strong ships and cannons, especially after hearing the descriptions of the ministers accompanying the envoys to Beijing, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although he stubbornly rejected all new things like all the Qing rulers and disdained to let the rapid-fire cannon given to Macartney for his interview, he still admitted the power of the British warships, but he also felt that the other party's disadvantage on land was extremely obvious in the East.

However, what he did not expect was that the British had made continuous technological progress in army equipment, and one day, the British would have a way to infiltrate the British's will and the additional practices into China's history.

The prince, Changlin, noticed a fact in Beijing, that is, the strange expressions of these British men and their contempt for everything they saw made Changlin feel uncomfortable and even alert.

Changlin, who was appointed as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was also talented among the Manchus. At the beginning of his tenure, he had already learned from officials familiar with Guangdong and Guangxi affairs. Only then did he realize that the British were definitely not good people, nor were they kind-hearted.

Just when Qianlong ascended the throne, the British had been constantly colonizing overseas and expanding their power to the east. British warships escorting cargo ships often invaded the southeastern coast of China and intercepted ships from other countries. In the seventh year of Qianlong (1742), British warships robbed a Spanish merchant ship in Macau and brought it into the provincial river. The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi sent Yin Guangren, the magistrate of Dongguan, to question, and the British ship was forced to release 299 prisoners. In the ninth year of Qianlong (1744), there was another British

Four armed warships intercepted French merchant ships on the oceans of Guangdong. In the 46th year of Qianlong (1781), British ships were arbitrarily arrested Dutch ships in Huangpu. Guangdong Governor Li Hu once warned: "If you still have no power and do not abide by the rules of the Celestial Empire, you will dare to violate our laws and disturb our merchants in our Celestial Empire, and you will be disturbed by every grass and tree. Regardless of whether it is public or port-footed, the headquarters will always follow the orders of the Emperor. Even the senior members of the Celestial Empire will strictly take the criminals and investigate them separately, and do not lend them slightly.

The other party still kept a low attitude, but their harassment was more arrogant and domineering. Therefore, Changlin asked Qianlong when he first went to Guangdong to take office. He had heard that there were people in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong and Guangxi who could find something under the sea several feet.

I hope Qianlong can agree to him recruit these people as soldiers. Even if he cannot do other things, he will sneak into the water and saw the enemy's rudder, so that the pirate ships cannot be transported, and our army will naturally have the advantage. At that time, these warships will fall into my hands.

Although this idea is a bit naive, it means that this brother is at least more conscientious than others. Although Qianlong did not clearly agree to his request, he did not mean that he would not allow it.

From this point, Liang Pengfei had already heard that even the old man Qianlong was indeed worried about the British, but he was afraid that he would feel that he would lose face in the Heavenly Kingdom if he really wanted to agree. So he simply had an ambiguous relationship with Changlin, the new governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Of course, it was not that the two had an ambiguous relationship beyond the friendship between normal men, but that he maintained a silent attitude towards Changlin's request.

Changlin is worthy of being in front of the imperial court for a long time. He quickly understood Qianlong's thoughts, but only invited an imperial edict to rectify the Guangdong navy and eliminate pirates, and then went to Guangzhou to take office.

After reading the imperial edict, Changlin asked directly about the situation of Western countries in Guangzhou and Macau. Wang Shouli and others naturally did not dare to hide anything and answered them truthfully.

When he heard that there were nearly 100 armed merchant ships from Western countries in Macau, and a Portuguese Oriental Fleet and a French squadron stationed here, Changlin's hidden worries were captured by Liang Pengfei.

After the question was finished, Changlin frowned and said in a deep voice: "... Although these remote and far-off barbarians have witnessed the strict legal system of our Celestial Empire, I would not dare to do anything wrong. Now that the emperor is illuminating the barbarians, we are ministers, and we should take the initiative. I think the navy relies on bows, arrows, guns, and guns, and the barbarian ships have guns and cannons. It seems that it is appropriate to plan another way to win, and to extend what they know, Lin Wei..." Then he told the above story of recruiting the gangs to the army.

Liang Pengfei sat among the generals. Although there was no inappropriate expression on his face, he was actually speechless in his heart. Innocence and childishness, these two words are really too good to match the Governor.

If a few diving champions can win a brilliant victory in naval battles, the powerful maritime power countries around the world can simply train divers and build tall ships.

A picture of a very killing brain cells appeared in Liang Pengfei's mind. The warships were flying on the sea, and rows of artillery spewed out fearsome flames. Then, a water ghost who came out of nowhere was squatting on the tiller of the giant ship, using his small hacksaw. Oh, wrong, it was a small iron saw, squeaking on the rudder made of giant wood...

"Maybe the biggest ship this governor has ever seen is the basket ship. I just don't know how long it will take for this brother to take a pocket watch and try to cut off a giant rudder." Liang Pengfei viciously guessed whether the governor suffered from severe diseases such as congenital cerebral palsy.

"The Governor General is very considerate, but the gang people are tough and difficult to control. In addition, the gang people take fishing as their business, and the harvest is greater than food for joining the army..." At this time, Guangdong Governor Guo Shixun frowned and stood up and said. It seems that Guo Shixun also felt that the Governor General was not normal, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he had to find a reason to refuse.

"It's okay." Changlin smiled and nodded at Guo Shixun: "The fishing fishing is more beneficial than the food for joining the army. This governor knows this. However, if such soldiers are obtained in the navy camp, this soldiers can be used as a pirate ship. Since one soldier can be used as a number of soldiers, I don't know if the generals and I agree with the words of this governor."

"Governor General, I admire you." After a long time, the navy also understood the naive thoughts of the governor General. Wang Shouli, who was cursing in his heart, had to stand up and agree with Changlin's point of view. There was no way. Who made the brother Tai in front of him not only his immediate boss, the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi, but also carried the Hadith, rectified the Guangdong and Guangxi Navy and wiped out the pirates. With this imperial decree, naturally, when he wanted to point fingers at the navy, Wang Shouli could only grit his teeth and recognize him.

"Well... Since Wang Titai and our governor both agree to this policy, then the matter of those greedy gang members joining the army is not unsolvable. In this way, each person is recruited, you will be given two portions of war grain. If you are allocated to other provinces and camps, each of the Anjia silver will be given twenty taels. This will not only win the barbarian ships, but also be very effective in hunting thieves in the ocean on weekdays. What do you think? General Fu, what do you think?"

"Governor Chang said this very well. If this is done, the people of the swearing people will greedy for profit and abandon their business and return to the camp. There will be an elite army in the court." Guangzhou General Fuchang, who was almost asleep, couldn't help but wake up with a sudden look. He looked puzzled, which made Changlin, who was extremely talented, patiently explain it to him. The General Fu immediately raised his hands to express his agreement.

"It seems like a fool." A group of navy generals were secretly communicating. Liang Pengfei had endured it very hard. If he hadn't been concerned that everyone present was the court officials, he would have rolled on the ground with a smile.

Changlin turned his gaze to the navy general, and naturally, everyone stood up and expressed their attitude towards the Governor's proposal.

"From now on, this governor will issue a notice to recruit the civilians as soldiers. I hope you will be the emperor and work hard for the court to repay the emperor's kindness." Changlin stood up with satisfaction and clasped his fists to the north to show his respect for Qianlong's emperor in the northern capital.

Then, Changlin turned his eyes to Liang Pengfei. "When I was in the capital, I visited Helin and General. The General once said that among the Guangdong Navy, there was a tiger general who was brave enough to fight and was brave enough to do things. When I saw him today, he was indeed a tiger general..."

"Ah... I am ashamed. That is the love of the general. The general really cannot bear the praise of the general and the governor." Liang Pengfei was confused. He didn't know how this governor could tell that he was a tiger general with just a few glances.

"I have heard of your achievements. The name of General Liang is the name of General Liang in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang. It can stop the child from crying at night." Changlin stroked his long beard and admired. "Now, General Liang, you are the army to defend Humen. The entire Pearl River defense is in your hands. I hope General Liang will not let down the high expectations of General Liang."

"Don't worry, Governor General, but if there is a last general, no matter whether it is a bandit or a Western barbarian, the last general will never let one sail invade the hinterland of Guangzhou." Liang Pengfei replied with a sigh.

"A self-righteous atypical mental retarded and stupid." After Liang Pengfei left the Governor's Office, he only gave his two personal guards a very pertinent evaluation of the new Governor.

When Liang Pengfei's generals and strategists heard Liang Pengfei describe the story that happened in the back hall of the Governor's Office that night, they were first stunned, then laughed wildly, and even Wu Qianjin, the guy, seriously patted a companion beside him. "We have used the method of poking the enemy ships to sink, but that is only used to deal with small boats. Nowadays, warships all have water compartments, so this move has no effect when dealing with giant ships. This Governor thought of a new trick for us, well, you can try it another day."

"Get out! I don't have the time to kill wood to play with it." The brother rolled his eyes and went back, and also gave him a middle finger.
