Chapter 256: Running water does not rot (repair)
Long after dark, King Qi, Zheng Liqi, Xiao Zan and others all went to the city gate to check the head level, King Qi and many officials from Fujian Road turned back to their respective residences.
Although Chen Yutai's head will not be brought back by Yang Shiwei and Xu Zixian tomorrow, it is an unshakable fact that all the Qishan thieves have been destroyed.
A warship and more than 300 pirates fled, and more than half of them were swimming and crossing. The King of Qi had issued a military order in the name of the Grand Governor of Fujian Road. The Xinghua Army and the garrisoned troops in the Zhangzhou area were dispatched. The local governments should send civilians to the seaside and riverside to patrol. If they found that pirates could be captured or killed on the spot, they must not let one person escape.
At the same time, ships were sent to the Quanzhou and Penghu areas, and ordered the garrison naval forces to send ships to cruise along the coast and in the sea. When they found that the pirate warships were fleeing, they would be wiped out immediately. The pirates who fled in a hurry would not have much military equipment and insufficient manpower. As long as they could be found at sea, they would of course be eliminated. The premise was how high the chance of discovering a pirate ship would be found in the vast sea of this era.
Of course, Zheng Liqi and Lin Douyao, who came here later, praised Xu Zixian. This incident finally made Lin Douyao rich, and could make up for the prestige he lost during the Battle of Jiangtan last year.
Although anyone with discerning eyes knows that the Nan'an Marquis Mansion is a royal family member of the King of Qi, he not only has no deep friendship with Lin Douyao, but has had struggles and disagreements.
But this is true for politics. Since Lin Douyao has reconciled with Xu Zixian, this time his military achievements have been reported, Xu Zixian has clearly released his goodwill.
He successively informed the Grand Commander's Office, the Punishment Envoy, the Extradition Envoy, and the Fuzhou Prefecture. No one who should be given the gurus was missed. From the Punishment Envoy, Lin Douyao, to the Extradition Envoy, Zheng Liqi, the prefect Yang Shiwei, and the prefect Lu Wenxian, a large list of them will be listed on the good news of the merits.
This great joy, especially before the capital's chaos and the Northern Expedition, would be regarded as a good omen by the emperor and the two prefectures. Especially for the more emotional superiors like the emperor, they often feel good about an official because of a moment of excitement... The old Liu Dasan is one of them.
Lin Douyao did not expect to take advantage of the situation to enter Beijing because of this matter, but this is always a good thing. For him, it is to add a solid score to his resume. If the capital is to be able to promote the rule, Han Zhong will be nominated to support the formation, and there will be real contributions. Lin Douyao's chances of carrying a cool umbrella will be greatly increased.
The King of Qi was really happy. Lin Douyao, Zheng Liqi, and Yang Shiwei, even if Xiao Zan was inclined to the King of Zhao, what decisions could a police officer make against the common decisions of the royal family and civil and military officials in Fujian Lulian?
Xu Zixian can be promoted, but there is no hope for a title.
Chen Yutai is a chronic disease on Fujian Road. Every pacifier wants to get rid of it quickly, but after all, it is just a small-scale bandit of more than 2,000 people... Both the two governments and most people know that Chen Yutai's ability is not comparable to ordinary thieves, but in terms of scale and number of beheadings, it is still insufficient.
Xu Zixian was able to serve as the magistrate of Qizhou, and promoted the management of Ma Zheng. Six thousand households were given a sacrificial gift. It was also a generous reward for the court. Even if there were military achievements in Qizhou Port, it was impossible to be promoted to Duke... Even if Han Zhong would not support it, Han Zhong had expressed gratitude for the cooperation between the two sides in the capital through various means. For politicians, there was no favor after the favor was handled. Han Zhong and the emperor only maintained a fragile balance. If Han Zhong obviously turned to Xu Zixian, it would have disastrous consequences for the political situation in the capital.
Even so, King Qi was happy and happy enough.
What else can be happier and happier than the younger generation whom you support yourself when you see a giant thief giving the head?
The King of Qi had wanted to get rid of Chen Yutai for a long time, but he had been struggling to do so, and he was always worried about the collusion between Chen Yutai and Pu Xingfeng.
Recently, Luo Fangbo came to Fuzhou, and the officials here realized that Pu Xingfeng and the countries in Thailand were still fighting and could not get rid of their bodies for the time being. This is also an important reason why Xu Zixian was able to work in Qizhou.
If I hadn't known about this, I'm afraid that the senior military and political leaders of Fuzhou would still have a considerable degree of fear and concern for the eradication of Chen Yutai.
Now there is no need to worry for at least one or two years. With Xu Zixian's ability, it is no problem to sort out tens of thousands of elite wing troops within two years. As long as the comforting envoy is strongly supported, there is no need to worry about financial, financial, and food. What can the 100,000 wing troops on Fujian Road cooperate with the imperial guards? More than 100,000 wing troops and the imperial guards cooperate. The pirates are unable to resist the enemy at sea. But once they arrive on land, how can they compete with the elite troops of the Wei Dynasty?
A large number of elite soldiers, holding long scepters, obstacle swords, and divine arm bows, no matter how brave the pirates fought bravely, the battle at Qizhou Port still shows that they are not the opponent of the Economic and Technological Army. The battle between the pirates determines the outcome, and the pirates are definitely not the opponent.
When King Qi returned to the palace, his steps were rarely light and his face was full of joy.
Some old subordinates still served in the Xiang army. Several Xiang army generals who were driven away in Qizhou went to the royal palace for several consecutive days to ask for a meeting. One was to express their dissatisfaction with Xu Zixian, and the other was to ask the King of Qi to arrange a new way out for them.
More military officers from the wing army rushed over after hearing the news, and they also wanted to know the attitude of King Qi in this matter.
Xu Zixian's military achievements in Qizhou were too dazzling and had already touched many people.
The King of Qi is a big man who is not old-fashioned. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have asked a large number of soldiers of the wing army to return. Seeing these old subordinates, the King of Qi could not help but frown. He said, "Chen Yutai was awarded the title of the head, Xu Zi first killed more than 1,700 thieves in Qishan. Chen Yutai's head will be sent to Fuzhou tomorrow. Nan'an Hou made such a great contribution. What he did in Qizhou before was unreasonable became reasonable. What's more, the commander of the defense camp in various places always wanted to eliminate some old and weak people and lay off some disobedient military officers. But you people don't listen to my greetings and think that they have experienced seniority and will fight with Nan'an Hou. Don't think that Nan'an Hou listens to this king. Even if he doesn't listen, everything will occupy a word of reason. What do you think I can do?"
King Qi has always been gentle in character and has always been gentle in comforting his subordinates. At this time, he looked fierce and fierce, and many military officers in the wing army were so bloody that they were trained, but they did not dare to say a word.
"Li Xingwu and Dong Ruixiang were also confused before, but later they went to serve, and did the Nan'an Marquis accept it?" Seeing that everyone was not speaking, the King of Qi continued, "I am planning to recommend Nan'an Marquis as the Observer of Fuzhou Prefecture, and have the responsibility of supervising the training of the wing army. If you are still confused and want to live a wealthy and comfortable life, it is better to find a way to transfer the post now and go to the outside road. I will let you go outside the Fujian road. I will find a way for you. If you want to continue to be a military officer, you have to do it steadily. In the past, I was particularly generous to you because I couldn't find someone to stand up for me. Think about it carefully. Is there any difference between this King and Nan'an Marquis when I led the troops more than ten years ago?"
Everyone understood this time that the King of Qi was not energetic because he was old and lacked energy. As the prince and the commander-in-chief, he was not easy to interfere with his subordinates and did not interfere in everything. He then sat down and watched the Xiang army become corrupt. He only dealt with a few of the most disobedient and foul-lawed military officers every year to maintain the current situation.
Now that Nan'an Hou Xu Zi rushed forward, the King of Qi would naturally support him. Looking back, when the King of Qi was in charge of the government and led the troops more than ten years ago, it seemed that the rules were much stricter than now. After many years of stable life, everyone forgot about the past.
The next deputy commander stood up and said respectfully: "Since your highness has made it clear, what else can we say besides obeying the king's order? The people who lead the troops always hope to bring a strong soldier. If the Marquis of Nan'an can really do it, it would be a good thing to take us to achieve more military achievements and gain more fame and wealth? It's not really a good thing if you have been comfortable for too long."
The King of Qi nodded happily and said, "This is what I mean. You'd better help me spread it. In the future, the Marquis of Nan'an will not only be a marquis of the royal family, but also appoint an official of the court, but can also be regarded as the successor of my mantle. Do you understand?"
Before this, although King Qi supported Xu Zixian in many aspects, he had never made such a clear statement.
With this statement, coupled with Xu Zixian's existing power and rising momentum, if King Qi was in a very short time, he would hand over all his strength in the Fujian Road military system to Xu Zixian.
This is a completely different concept from secret support. With the clear statement of King Qi, many military officers who had long been optimistic that Xu Zixian could be used in a noble manner. They would not be suspicious of beingtrayed by their fellow parties, and would not be called rebellious by their accomplices, and would not be morally troubled or responsible.
The King of Qi handed over all these connections, which also means that within one or two years, he would only have influence and official positions, and his power would become hollow and he would only have a false reputation.
Just like Xu Xiashang, who was about to step down as right prime minister, he became two mascots of both literature and martial arts.
For the emperor and the two palaces, a prince with prestige and potential strength threatened much greater than a rising star. Even if Xu Zi was a figure like Zhu Xu, it would be difficult to compare with the power of King Qi without years of management.
There may also be accidents during this handover. As long as the overall stability of Fujian Road can be maintained, the court is happy to see local forces in Fujian conflict and become dispersed during the handover.
"Your Highness is really dedicated to the public..."
“High-graceful and admirable.”
A group of military officers in the wing army spoke respectful words, but their attitudes had changed compared to before.
Some of these military officers came from Qizhou, and some were military officers from Fuzhou Prefecture, from the command of the camp to the command of the camp, the deputy commander of the battalion, the Du Yuhou, and the commander of the capital. They were usually under the jurisdiction of the Fuzhou Prefecture, and there were also military officers under the patrol camp under the Seizure Department. However, their military status, daily training, entry and withdrawal from the camp were all managed by the Grand Governor's Office.
This is a special feature of the Xiang army. The local government and the Governor's Office are both managed by the dual management. In fact, although the Imperial Guard is not controlled by the Governor's Office, it is also controlled by the local government and the Privy Council, including the Political Affairs Hall and the Emperor. In the Great Wei Dynasty, except for the regiment training, no military division can be independent and self-dedicated. The regiment training is because of the low combat effectiveness. It is just that the Minzhuang organized a group to assist the Imperial Guard and the Governor's Army. It is a pure garrison force, and its military power is almost negligible.
Under this system, the Nan'an regiment training had the opportunity to emerge. Xu Zixian was able to implement his military training philosophy and achieved quite dazzling success.
If the Xiang army follows the rules, the King of Qi will not be able to take charge of the troops easily. The important thing is to gain people.
The same thing was assigned by King Zhao, and the people of King Qi did not see the bento of the people, or they delayed and perfunctory. The King Qi assigned by King Qi was to be decisive and smoothly executed.
On the contrary, the people of Zhao's people naturally disobeyed the orders of King Qi, and obeyed the instructions of King Zhao.
If King Qi handed over his connections, his relationship would become increasingly weak in the future. Everyone could only listen to Xu Zixian. Even if he was an old boss like King Qi, he would only have superficial relationship.
"The running water does not rot, and the door hinge does not rot." King Qi sighed: "There are talented people in the country and the Fujian Road is also time to change the head of the Xiangjun."
Seeing everyone's vague worry, King Qi smiled and said, "No need to worry. Marquis of Nan'an is appointed as the inspector and is promoted to deputy governor again. It will take several years for you to slowly adapt and follow."
Everyone kept talking, and the King of Qi spoke to everyone for a while, but he still had the dignity of the prince, but he no longer had the majesty of his superiors. The trivialities and meticulousness of the past disappeared, and only gentle words of comfort and advice were given.
