open sea

Chapter 935
Lao Wang accepted the order very happily, packed his bags and set foot on the road to Beiyang the next day.

In fact, Wang Tianrui should not know anyone in Beiyang. First of all, there is no Jinyiwei in Beiyang. The generals he met in Shenglong are now promoted to various places in the world. Thousands of households at that time are now worshiping the commander-in-chief. As for the military, there is no such thing as Beiyang affairs.

A man who lives in the world, a man of great talent and virtue, who is curled up in Beiyang?

Looking up at the officials in charge of Beiyang, it can be said that there are many people who know each other, but few of them can really talk.

Now Beiyang is in charge of all talented ministers who are civil servants and have military experience. How can he know those people.

Having said that, it is not a bad thing for the imperial court to have Beiyang appointed as a civil servant. This is precisely the embodiment of Beiyang's importance to the imperial court.

However, after inquiring on the road, Wang Tianrui was overjoyed by the news that Beiyang really had his old friend, Marshal Bai Yuanjie, who was transferred from Nanyang to Beiyang by Ye Mengxiong, a senior minister of Beiyang.

In fact, it's not considered a tune, Bai Yuanjie also held an official position in the Beiyang Military Mansion in Nanyang, and the left and right governors of the Western and Nanyang Military Mansions all held Beiyang positions and could receive an extra salary.

The left governor Chen Lin and the right governor Bai Yuanjie of Nanyang, the left governor Zhang Yuanxun and the right governor Li Xi of the Western Ocean, all joined the governors of the Beiyang military government as Tongzhi before their official posts.

"But why doesn't Chen Shuai's Dongyang see the addition of an official and a governor?"

In Beiyang's commander-in-chief's mansion, Bai Yuanjie pouted his lower lip with a smile on his face and looked down at the cup he was holding to make tea with candied golden oranges in his hand, and said: "He led the Eastern Fleet into Asia with Shangfang Sword in hand, and fought against the Western Yi Lian Jie, when the battle report was sent back, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty felt that Erlang was bragging and added officials."

"You don't know the battle report?"

Bai Yuanjie put the teacup on the table, propped his left elbow on the armrest of the chair, leaned slightly, and said, "This is what Chen Foer, the supervisor, said, 'this time we won a big victory over the Western Army, and the proposed treaty pre-orders the Westerners to cede The land is huge, according to the map of the Westerners, it is conservatively estimated to be [-] li in radius. I heard from Ye Gong that the cabinet thinks there are only two possibilities, either Chen Shuai regards them as idiots, or the Westerners are all idiots."

"Such a large piece of land, how can you just cut it off?"

Wang Tianrui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he even forgot why he came here, blinked and said: "What else? Chen Shuai has said everything, in case the battle is not won, or there are other accidents, How should this be done?"

Bai Yuanjie waved his hands with a smile, and said, "I won, I already won."

"How did Shuai Bai know?"

"Some time ago, Majia Port sent a ship back to Wangxia Prefecture, and the cabinet sent the telegram to the other side of Kuwu Island to reset Harman Guards. Along the five thousand miles, some lands were built and some lands were being repaired, but the post station After all, it has been built, the returning boat is still on its way, and the letter has already been sent back.”

"Not only have we won a complete victory, but we have only gained a lot of land. However, the exact news will not be known until the third phase of the fleet returns. Rest assured, I guess the battle will be over when Chen Fo'er writes the battle report." , wait to see people dumbfounded."

For a while, Wang Tianrui didn't understand what Bai Yuanjie meant by 'waiting to see people dumbfounded', but he didn't think about it in detail.

In fact, Bai Yuanjie was waiting to see the courtiers joke, because he was also worried about this matter. The land with a radius of three thousand miles was ceded as long as it was said to be ceded. But in general, the context can basically be read.

You will never see such a situation in the history books. Bai Yuanjie guessed that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be dumbfounded by then. After the dumbfounded, Beijing City should praise the emperor's wisdom——Chen Mu received the Shangfang Sword and granted full power when he went to sea, which means to let How much honor is it for him to act on behalf of the emperor overseas?
At that time, there were many people who thought about giving Chen Mu power away when he couldn't do well, but what about now?Who can handle the affairs of Asia without this authority?

To be honest, Lao Bai envied Chen Mu, and also envied Zhang Yuanxun—although it was very possible that others envied him too much, but he really envied others.

Look at what kind of official positions Bai Yuanjie has held, huh?The revolution of the Guangdong Guards came to an end, and he became the governor of the Guangdong capital, and then the Ming fleet sailed into Nanyang.

When Luzon was fighting, he was transporting food; when Annan was fighting, he was transporting guns; when Burma was fighting, he was transporting pigs and sheep.

As a result, Nanyang pacified him and became the governor of the military government. Indeed, he participated in every war in Nanyang, and the participation rate was extremely high. Basically, every soldier had eaten the meals he shipped.

At any rate, Chen Lin led the fleet to fight several battles. He just had to escort the luggage endlessly. In the early years, the ship was small, but he had the opportunity to fight against pirates and smugglers. Later, the ship got bigger. Others run away when they see them from a distance, and they don't hesitate to surrender if they run away.

There are so many meritorious deeds, and no battle won by others has to be attributed to him for the timely delivery of the luggage.

But looking back, in this era, when the Ming Empire conquered the world, Bai Yuanjie, as a military commander, was no lower than anyone else in terms of meritorious service and official position, but he racked his brains and couldn't think of any big scene he had participated in.

There is nothing to talk about drinking with others. When others reminisce about the past, it will be the decisive battle of Linlai Island. The powerful enemy regained three declarations and six comforts; no matter how peaceful the southern troubled times are, the reappearance of the scene of the war elephants can also drink two or two for this.

What about him?

There are only two cards left in the hand.

The bandit and rebel Li Yayuan was killed in the Xinjiang Bridge, and Zeng Sanlao, a sea tycoon, was blocked at the Pearl River Estuary.

Tell me what is this called?

Others are busy conquering the world, but he is great, General Bai. He can only be promoted, promoted, and promoted again when he has nothing to do all day. Promotion is boring, okay?

In addition to counting money for promotion, there are so many merchant ships in Nanyang running around, coming in and out are all money, and there is also the Portuguese archbishop of Haojing, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

It's really cool to do this all day long, but it's also very annoying after a long time.

Fortunately, thanks to Chen Mu's victory, he has now been transferred to Beiyang.

In fact, Lao Bai already knew that Chen Mu must win a big victory in East Asia.

After all, life is traceable, and he had a hunch since he was transferred to Beiyang. He felt, or he hoped, that the court would send him to Asia to take over from Chen Mu.

Anyway, there may be a battle over there.

"By the way, you didn't come here just to catch up with Bai, did you?" Bai Yuanjie blinked, raised her chin and said, "What's the matter, let's talk, I'll solve it for you."

Yes, what am I here for?

Old Wang thought and thought, and finally patted his head and said: "A few days ago, Jin Yiwei gave me a Beiyang poncho. It wasn't raining, but it was found that the poncho was leaking. I wanted to come over and ask Brother Bai to help me. piece?"

poncho?

Bai Yuanjie rolled his eyes, and asked as if he knew the inside story: "The Jin Yiwei sent the cavalry?"

"Yes, yes, cavalry."

Bai Yuanjie didn't hold back, and laughed.

"Okay, has His Majesty sent someone else to take care of this matter? Let me tell you, don't meddle in this matter, you can't control this matter."

Bai Yuanjie raised his hand to pick up the teacup and drank it, saying, "Just say you don't know when you go back."

The Beiyang military government suffered from Wu Qingbo Li Wei's sullenness, Ye Mengxiong's idea, heard from Xu Jue that Emperor Wanli punished eunuchs for greed in the palace, and directly sent the leaky poncho to the emperor who liked Beiyang things.

Although Beiyang's original intention was for the emperor to send someone to investigate this matter, he could do anything to find out, except Wang Tianrui.

The emperor's young father-in-law told the emperor's grandfather that not to mention Wang Tianrui was going to die, even his daughter couldn't feel comfortable in the palace.

After all these calculations, Laobai's mind is clear.
