In Lin Haoran's view, fighting a war is like a business.

If every battle is a loss, even if it is a hundred victories, it will be difficult for this victorious army to continue, and it may fall apart in the next battle. In the same way, he paid great attention to the very real problem of the distribution of loot.

First of all, no matter how much loot he captured, he personally took nothing. But not only does he not want his career to be stained, but he also wants to set a good example for other senior generals and maintain the relative integrity of the upper echelons.

In terms of specific distribution, five points are classified as the public account of Leizhouwei, and the equipment of Leizhouwei is strengthened; Four points of reward to all the soldiers to ensure the enthusiasm of everyone; One point is to send it to the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, so as to ensure that the combat functions of the soldiers are quickly and effectively implemented.

Although it was a very passive battle, the casualties of Leizhouwei were not large, mainly due to the consumption of some shells, compared to the capture of several warships, plus the looting of the ships from everywhere, this was undoubtedly a very profitable deal.

But this time, Lin Haoran still stretched out his hand and took something extremely valuable from the loot.

People never expected that there were more than a pound of ambergris on the boat of this gang of would-be robbers. As the person in charge of Guangdong who purchased ambergris, how could he let this ambergris slip out of his hand, even Wang Fang didn't dare to stop him.

As for the soldiers of Leizhou Wei, it is even more impossible to raise the slightest objection, not to mention that Lin Haoran wants to make a confession in the form of the spoils of this battle.

With this ambergris incense embellishment, it can not only increase his weight in Jiajing's mind, but also undoubtedly make this battle to exterminate the Japanese invaders more dazzling.

The soldiers who spun around and returned no longer considered whether they would receive the holy reward, and when they neatly crossed the town's West Street and looked at the group of female workers in the joint workshop on both sides of the road, everyone was fluttering.

The news soon spread rapidly in the Liangguang area, and this record of Lei Zhouwei was impressive, and he actually exterminated the Japanese led by Nakajima Shiro and seized a large number of ordnance.

Combined with Leizhouwei's previous achievements, there have even been good deeds who have given the title of "Guangdong's No. 1 Guard" directly to this fierce Leizhou Wei.

The political envoy is in the yamen, and the signing room is in.

Since losing power, Wang Bai has actually been waiting for an opportunity to move, and he is not willing to lose.

Waiting was undoubtedly lonely, and he gradually fell in love with tea drinking. Tasting tea allowed him to keep a clear head all the time, but the more sober his mind became, the less likely he felt to regain power.

Regardless of Lin Haoran's outstanding performance now, Lin Haoran's ability to continue to send cheaper ambergris to the saint makes it even more obvious how "stupid" he was when he purchased ambergris at a high price, which doomed him to be unable to stand on the pinnacle of power in Guangdong again.

Now that he is able to keep the position of political envoy, firstly, the saint does not want to kill him, and he thinks of a little bit of old feelings; The second is that the position of the political envoy is not too important, in fact, it is to let him honestly retire in this position.

Over the years, he has gradually become more and more relaxed, and his unwillingness to be like the tea that is constantly being soaked has become more and more light. However, while he was obsessed with the tea ceremony, he also liked to listen to the news from all sides.

"I'm afraid we're going to have a good show again!"

Wang Bai picked up the cup of the fine dragon well, and said in a long tone with schadenfreude.

The housekeeper had just reported the news from Leizhou, and when he heard Wang Bai's reaction, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Master, do you mean that Wang Fan wants to deal with Lin Haoran?" ”

"Why did Wang Fu have to deal with Lin Haoran, he was grateful to Lin Haoran before it was too late!" Wang Bai lightly plucked the boiling tea and glanced at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was suddenly even more puzzled, and expressed his personal opinion: "Wang Fan personally went to Chaozhou to exterminate this gang of Japanese robbers, but it was in vain to mobilize the people, but he exterminated Lin Haoran so easily, doesn't it seem that he is incompetent?" How could he not hold a grudge against Lin Haoran, why should he be grateful to Lin Haoran? ”

"You're a bit smart, but your vision is not good!" Wang Bai took a sip of tea, and then explained in an orderly manner: "Wang Fan was sent by the imperial court to be responsible for the stability of the Liangguang region, and now a group of nearly a thousand Japanese pirates have fled to Guangdong, and he was repelled by him in Chaozhou, and then exterminated by Leizhou Wei, how is this not his credit?" How could he not be grateful to Lin Haoran? ”

Speaking of this, he also sighed lightly, envying Wang Fang for picking up a bargain. The governor of Liangguang has not yet lost face this year, and Lin Haoran has helped him save a little face.

The housekeeper's brows furrowed, and he was still puzzled: "It's just that Wang Fan and the people can't help that gang of widows, but they let Lin Haoran destroy them so easily, isn't this a loss of face?" ”

"That's true, yes, but how much is face worth?" Wang Bai looked very disdainful, and then changed his words and said: "This kind of thing is only known to us in Guangdong, and the imperial court only knows that Guangdong has destroyed a group of Japanese pirates who have fled to Guangdong, this is a merit of Guangdong to suppress the Japanese, and naturally Wang Fan has to be given a credit!" ”

The butler nodded slowly and found that this was indeed the case, but asked in confusion: "Master, then you just said that there is another good show, what is going on?" ”

Wang Bai plucked the tea, first chuckled, and then said gloatingly: "Wang Fang's position is high enough, so he naturally sits firmly, but some people are afraid that they won't be able to sit still!" ”

The housekeeper looked at the old man's expression and tone, and a person immediately flashed in his mind, and asked tentatively: "Master, do you mean Yan Rudou, the deputy envoy of Guangdong and the deputy envoy of the sea patrol?" ”

Since Wang Bai's deputy patrol envoy was removed, this position was officially returned to the inspector, and now it is concurrently held by Yan Rudou, the deputy inspector of Guangdong, and this person has also become a thorn in Wang Bai's side.

"Who else could it be, if it wasn't him!" Wang Bai took a sip of tea, his eyes narrowed slightly, and even a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

Lin Haoran robbed him of the imperial errand to purchase ambergris, but Yan Rudou robbed him of the important position of deputy envoy of Guangdong Patrol Road, which made him look like a phoenix with its hair plucked.

Lin Haoran still kept respectful words to him, but this Yan Rudou didn't take him seriously at all, and didn't leave him any face, and directly cut off his financial route.

With the position of deputy envoy of the sea patrol, he pulled the squires who were loyal to him and made a lot of money here in Guangzhou. And for him, the political envoy, he didn't give him any face, and he didn't give him any soup to drink.

is also the same, the person he hates the most now is not Lin Haoran, but this Yan Rudou who has done too much.

The housekeeper frowned slightly, but asked puzzledly: "Master, are you saying that Lin Haoran will threaten Yan Rudou's position, so there will be a conflict between the two?" ”

"Not bad! The better Lin Haoran performs in the military, the more Yan Rudou can't sit still, even if he has the chrome mark of the Yan Party on his body, he will also feel the threat from Lin Haoran! Wang Bai nodded affirmatively.

The housekeeper's heart suddenly moved, and he asked again: "Master, since Wang Fang can get good things from the war in Leizhou, will Yan Rudou also get benefits this time?" ”

"That's why I often say that this official must become bigger and bigger!" Wang Bai plucked the tea lightly and analyzed with schadenfreude: "Wang Fang is the governor of Liangguang, and he is in charge of the military and political power of the Liangguang region, he is as strict as a fight, and Leizhouwei is not under his control at all!" Now that he has let this gang of Japanese robbers cross the waters of Guangdong, the court does not blame him for dereliction of duty, which is already good! When he learned about the war in Leizhou, he was afraid that he gritted his teeth with hatred for Lin Haoran! ”

The housekeeper gasped, and found that this officialdom was really full of competing interests, and the two people, who had no conflict, might be tense the next moment.

"Now that the plague in Guangdong is getting more and more serious, Wang Fang is certainly the first person responsible for the plague in Guangdong, but Yan Rudou, the deputy envoy of the sea patrol, also has to bear a certain responsibility. Do you see what Yan Rudou did after taking office, in addition to making a lot of money? No, nothing was done! Wang Bai obviously accumulated a lot of anger, put down the teacup and shouted accusations.

"That's right! This Yan Rudou is useless at all except greed, and will be replaced sooner or later! The housekeeper echoed and recontinued the tea for Wang Bai, but it was difficult to calm down in his heart, and he found that this calm Guangdong officialdom was bound to make waves again.

Wuzhou, the Governor's Mansion of Liangguang.

Wang Fang has been running around outside for a while, and he has just returned to Wuzhou City, and only then did he enter the gate of the Governor's Palace, and the news from Leizhou came.

Hearing the news that Leizhou Wei had exterminated nearly a thousand Japanese robbers, a burst of joy immediately appeared on his face. Wang Bai's analysis is correct, this Leizhou Mansion exterminated nearly 1,000 Japanese pirates, which is equivalent to the extermination of Japanese pirates in Guangdong, and he is also stained with Lin Haoran's light.

It's just that after the excitement, I felt a sense of loss in my heart.

Lin Haoran, who was only eighteen years old, had already run the Leizhou Mansion like an iron bucket, and now he had annihilated nearly a thousand Japanese robbers, on the other hand, he had half of his feet in the coffin, but he could not deal with the military and political problems in the Liangguang region.

Although Leizhou helped temporarily alleviate the problem of Japanese pirates, the problem could not be cured at all, and Wei Yinbao in Guangxi, Zhang Lian in Guangdong, and the restless Yaomin all made him feel headaches.

What made him even more frustrated was that the governor of Zhejiang was able to borrow wolf soldiers from Guangxi to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to help fight against the Japanese, while his dignified governor of Liangguang pulled down his old face, but he still couldn't borrow a single soldier from the Tusi of Guangxi.

Ay!

Wang Fu turned from joy to sadness, sighed lightly, and strode towards the back house.

He didn't blame those Tusi for being ruthless, but that Jiangsu and Zhejiang had a large amount of military spending to support wolf soldiers, and the Tusi were naturally willing to go, but Guangdong couldn't afford to spend so much military money at all.

Nowadays, it is undoubtedly silver that can solve the stability of the two regions. If the two Guangxi have the same treatment as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the imperial court is willing to pay a large amount of military spending every year, then all the bandits will inevitably be cleaned up.

But he knew in his heart that it was impossible. Not to mention that the imperial court has no money, even if it does, the imperial court is probably not willing to go to a remote place like Liangguang.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but lose all his thoughts. Unless Yan Song's old bastard dies violently now, he really can't see where the future is, and he can't see the hope of being transferred back to the capital.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is already in sight, and the streets of Leizhou City are filled with a festive atmosphere.

Although several days have passed since the extermination of the Japanese Bandits, many people are talking about this incident, and they have an unprecedented sense of pride in their Leizhou Guard.

However, the Spring Festival is imminent, more people are engaged in the purchase of New Year's goods, ready to welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival, and the huge purchasing power of the people of Leizhou makes the area of the City God Temple appear extremely prosperous.

The City God Temple is crowded with people. There are shouting vendors, some bargaining customers, and the sound of performances on the stage, presenting a prosperous scene.

The joint workshop has given female workers a holiday, so that some female workers who have traveled far away can have enough time to rush home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and even arranged horse-drawn carriage transportation for them.

In terms of welfare, I am afraid that the entire Daming, and even the whole world, do not have such high employee benefits.

Because these streets are full of female workers in the cooperative workshop, it adds a bit of spring to the prosperity of Leizhou City, and even attracts a lot of scholars.

"Will you two come to work in the workshop next year?"

"Why don't you come? It was the United Workshop that saved my family and made my family live a good life! ”

"I've already told my man! Let's just go back to our hometown for the New Year, for the sake of the children's future, we must live here in Leizhou City! ”

……

More than a dozen brightly dressed women are visiting the City God Temple, carrying New Year's goods and planning for the new year.

A gleam flashed in someone's eyes, apparently not coming back after the year, or still hesitating. After all, many people have a heavy hometown complex, but they have their own considerations.

Of course, the high welfare of the joint workshop is here, and it is impossible for the vast majority of female workers to leave this big family easily. Even if I leave, I'm afraid it will be extremely reluctant.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

But at this time, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from Chaotianmen, and the people walking in the middle of the street avoided one after another.

Hey?

A scholar was about to stand up and accuse him of such a bad act, but after looking at the person on the horse, his face couldn't help but be stunned, and he swallowed back the dirty words that he spit into his throat.

There were also a few patrolling yacha here, and the righteous tiger girl backed them up, which made their waists much stronger, but when they saw the man on the horse, they immediately lowered their proud heads, and at the same time followed the horses in confusion.

A few fast horses turned into the west street of the town from the middle of the street, and then stopped in the palace square, and under the awe-inspiring eyes of the merchants and the people, a rooster's voice shouted: "The holy decree has arrived."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone looked at the holy decree in the hands of the father-in-law. Everyone's hearts inevitably have all kinds of speculations about who this holy decree is for and what is on it.
