Super dictator.
Chapter 192 Governor of Zhili
Tianjin Railway Station was buzzing with people. As soon as the train from Shanhaiguan arrived at the station, two officials from the Tianjin Zhili Governor's Office quickly stretched their necks to look around, followed by more than a dozen soldiers.
The crowd waiting around looked curiously at the two officials from the Governor's Office. Could it be that some important person came back from the front line today?
Since the war had just ended, most of the trains from Shanhaiguan to Tianjin still carried military personnel.
"Didn't you say Master Wei took this train? Why didn't you see him?" one of the officials whispered.
"Yeah, maybe I got the time wrong." Another official also looked anxious when he saw that everyone was about to leave.
Among the crowd getting off the bus, Wang Huaiqing heard the two officials talking, and said to Wei Jichen who was a step ahead: "My lord, those two seem to be here to pick you up."
"Pick me up?" Wei Jichen was a little surprised. He kept a low profile all the way so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and the oracle told him to go home and rest for a while, so after he returned to Tianjin, he planned to return directly to Jinghai up.
Who will pick me up?Could it be Wang Wenshao, the current acting minister of Zhili?
While still on the road, Wei Jichen had already learned that Li Hongzhang had signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and he had already returned to Tianjin by himself. After Li Hongzhang came back, he was afraid of being scolded, so he asked Guangxu for more than 20 days of leave, and kept the door behind closed doors. The text of the contract was sent to the capital by Wu Tingfang.
When Li Hongzhang was in a low mood, he naturally had no time to talk to himself, and the only one left was Wang Wenshao, the acting minister of Beiyang.Acting means temporary agency, and there is no actual teaching yet.
However, the main combatants in the imperial court and many literati are strongly criticizing Li Hongzhang, and there are people who call him Qin Hui. I believe that Wang Wenshao's "actual grant" should not be long.
Thinking of this, Wei Jichen walked towards the two officials.
Seeing a young man in ordinary clothes suddenly appearing in front of them, two officials from the Governor's Office couldn't help but waved their hands impatiently, signaling him not to block their sight.
Wei Jichen raised his hand, and a soldier cut the cigar and put it between Wei Jichen's fingers, then struck a match and lit it.
"Both of you, are you looking for me?" Wei Jichen asked lightly after taking a breath.
The two officials were somewhat puzzled. Originally, they thought Wei Jichen was a refugee from somewhere when he saw that Wei Jichen was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he was dusty and unkempt.
But this style, this momentum, made them unsure again.
"Are you Wei Junmen?" One of the officials asked cautiously, looking at this young man who was a bit outrageous.Generally, one would not be too young to be promoted to the high and powerful position of admiral. Although he heard that Wei Jichen was very young, he was believing what he heard.
Wei Jichen didn't speak, Wang Huaiqing took a step forward and said, "Our lord is Wei Junmen, Commander-in-Chief of Wei Zijun who just came back from Liaodong."
The two officials swallowed quietly, and shouted in their hearts: Sure enough, some people cannot be treated with common sense. When I was his age, I was still a small official in a certain lump.
"Wei Junmen." The two officials hurried forward to salute respectfully.
"You don't need to be too polite, did the governor ask you to come?" Wei Jichen waved his hand and asked aloud.
"Exactly, when the governor heard that the army was entering Tianjin today, he ordered the officials and others to welcome him here." One of the officials said with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency is too polite. I'm about to go back and take a shower before going to visit. But now, Your Excellency has a summons, so I dare not neglect it. I would like to ask the two gentlemen to lead the way." Wei Jichen said with a smile.
Although the people around were watching curiously from a distance, there were more than a dozen soldiers standing around watching eagerly, no one dared to come forward to inquire, and they were all whispering.
"Who is that young man? Someone from the Governor's Office came to greet him in person."
"It's probably the guy who was sheltered by the ancestors again."
"That's right!"
Naturally, Wei Jichen listened to the discussions of the crowd around him. Hearing that everyone guessed that he was the second-generation official, Wei Jichen couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. It seems that the second-generation official has a long history.
When he walked out, he saw three big sedan chairs carried by four people standing beside him. Two officials were gesticulating to invite them, but Wei Jichen stepped in front of them and said with a smile: "Thanks to the two adults who have waited for a long time, please take care of me." Get organized."
Wei Jichen stuffed a few banknotes in a calm manner.
The two officials put it in their arms knowingly, and replied with a smile: "It is our honor to welcome the military gate. It is not enough for others to get this job. The Holy Majesty sent two little father-in-laws to bring yellow jackets and double-eyed feathers. I am waiting at the governor's office, Wei Junmen is so valued by the Holy Majesty, I hope to support you a lot in the future."
It turned out that there was still such a thing, Wei Jichen thanked him with a smile.
Several people got into the sedan chair, and amidst the creaking and creaking, Wei Jichen almost fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Jichen suddenly felt a shock in his body, so he woke up, stepped out of the sedan chair, and found that he had arrived in front of the governor's office before he knew it.
Wang Huaiqing and other soldiers were greeted by people from the governor's office.
Wei Jichen, led by the two officials, walked step by step to the hall of the supervisory office.
But seeing that the gate was heavily guarded, one post at ten steps and one post at five steps, when the sergeants saw Wei Jichen passing by, they all looked at him curiously with a pair of eyes.
Soon after receiving the notification, Wang Wenshao led several officials to greet him out of the hall in person.
Before the person arrived, the voice came first, and Wei Jichen heard a voice from a long distance away, "It's Wei Jichen and Wei Zijie."
Wei Jichen stared intently, and saw a thin old man in a first-grade official uniform coming forward with a smile on his face.
It seemed that this person was Wang Wenshao, Wei Jichen stepped forward to greet him and said, "You are so rude, you actually asked the governor to send someone to greet you."
Taking advantage of his young age, Wei Jichen met officials who were older than him, and he would not call them subordinates, but call them boys, and see them with the etiquette of younger generations, thus virtually shortening the distance between them.
Wang Wenshao can also be regarded as an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty. He served as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.
Wang Wenshao took two steps forward and held Wei Jichen's hands, and said with a smile, "Wei Zijie, the famous anti-Japanese general, I thought he would be a tough soldier with a big, three, and five rough, but I didn't expect that he would be a gentle and elegant young man."
"The kid used to be a scholar, but he failed the exams many times later, and saw foreign enemies invading the country, so he became angry and threw himself into the army." Wei Jichen responded to Wang Wenshao's jokes only after a few dry laughs.
"It's good if you don't win. If you win, how can you get the name of the famous god of death?" Wang Wenshao continued to joke with a smile while pulling Wei Jichen inside.
Wei Jichen didn't expect that a name randomly chosen by the Japanese had already been heard by Wang Wenshao. It seems that he had done some research on himself, and he didn't know what purpose he had.
"Your Excellency, you are laughing, just joking, joking." Wei Jichen responded cheerfully.
Everyone was seated separately, and Wei Jichen had time to look at other people. However, his position was too small before, and no one knew him. He could only get some information from the official uniform.
A few people were about to talk, but a large group of people came at the door, led by two eunuchs, and the guards behind them were all carrying things.
It turned out that the two eunuchs learned that Wei Jichen had come, and they couldn't wait to come and hand over the things that Guangxu rewarded him, because according to the usual practice, they could make a small fortune——Wei Jichen always had to send some silver as a thank you gift.
Everyone had no choice but to stand up and salute.
"For God's sake,... a special gift of a yellow robe and mandarin jacket, a pair of white eyes and plumes, and a pair of white jade." After a lot of nonsense, Wei Jichen finally heard something more real.
After Wei Jichen received the imperial decree, he saw the two father-in-laws winking at him, even holding on to the imperial decree tightly, and saw Wang Wenshao beckoning from the side, so he suddenly realized, took out a few banknotes from his arms, and stuffed them there. In the hands of the father-in-law.
Only then did the two father-in-laws say congratulatory words with beaming smiles, and then disappeared happily.
This is the Great Qing Dynasty. From the time I first came to Tianjin to the governor's mansion, I have already spent no less than 500 taels of silver. Wei Jichen felt bad.
Fortunately, Guangxu was quite generous, and Wei Jichen felt better when he saw these treasures.
After this incident, everyone got closer. After sitting down again, Wang Wenshao first smiled and congratulated, then frowned and said: "The news of the Shimonoseki Treaty not only shocked the capital, but also the frontline soldiers in Tianjin, Zhili, and Liaodong. The crowd was furious, and the imperial court was afraid that something bad would happen that would affect the peace situation, so it sent a telegram to the old man to "order the battalions to restrain their soldiers and bravery, and not to provoke troubles." However, there are more than [-] battalions of main and guest troops assembled inside and outside Shanhaiguan, and the old man has no troops The general in Zhongke was a little flustered for a while, and I was very happy to hear that Zijie had returned from Liaodong, and I hope that Yi Zijie can help the old man to maintain the order in Tianjin."
The army at this time is no better than that of later generations. The armies assembled today include the Huai Army, Hunan Army, Henan Army and other complex factions.
Wang Wenshao had just acted as the governor of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang, and he was busy with affairs, and there were many troops who refused to accept him. He also heard that the imperial court intends to dismiss the army, and it will be even more difficult at that time. Therefore, he thought Find someone who is prestige in the army to assist.
So Wang Wenshao put this calculation on Wei Jichen. The strong one in the army was convinced, Wei Jichen won consecutive battles, and he was so powerful in China and Japan. Anyone who saw him had to respect him three points.
Wei Jichen thought about it in his heart. Wang Wenshao also meant to attract himself by saying this. Now that Li Hongzhang's building is about to collapse, some officials of the Huai Department are trying to find a way out. Wen scolded Li Hongzhang, and got in touch with Weng Tonghe, Li Hongzhang's political opponent.
In short, the 'difficult' is imminent and they fly separately, and everyone is very busy.
However, once I stay by Wang Wenshao's side, it will be difficult to go back to Liaodong, which is not conducive to my plan, but I can't talk too hard.
Wei Jichen raised the imperial decree in his hand, and said helplessly: "The Holy Majesty means to let the boy close the door and think about his mistakes, wait for him to be summoned, and come out to do things at this time, I am afraid that it will cause the Holy Majesty's dissatisfaction."
Wang Wenshao also heard the eunuch recite the imperial decree just now, and he was a little helpless, he also didn't expect Guangxu's decree to be like this, he thought Wei Jichen was transferred back to take another job, but he didn't expect to let him idle first, and then let him go to Beijing to see him.
The crowd waiting around looked curiously at the two officials from the Governor's Office. Could it be that some important person came back from the front line today?
Since the war had just ended, most of the trains from Shanhaiguan to Tianjin still carried military personnel.
"Didn't you say Master Wei took this train? Why didn't you see him?" one of the officials whispered.
