Lao Wang was very happy to receive the order, packed his bags, and set out on the road to Beiyang on the second day.

In fact, it is said that Wang Tianrui should not know anyone in Beiyang, first of all, there is no Jinyi guard in Beiyang, and the generals he met in Shenglong are now all promoted to all parts of the world.

The big husband is home all over the world, and the talented and virtuous person is curled up in the Beiyang?

Looking up at the officials in charge of Beiyang, there are a lot of people who know each other, but there are few people who can really speak.

Now the people in charge of Beiyang are all capable ministers with civilian backgrounds and military experience, where can he know those people.

Having said that, Beiyang's civil officials are not a bad thing for the imperial court, which is precisely the embodiment of Beiyang's too important to the imperial court.

However, after some inquiries on the way, Wang Tianrui was overjoyed to get the news that Beiyang really had his old friend, Marshal Bai Yuanjiebai, who was transferred from Nanyang to Beiyang by Ye Mengxiong, an important minister of Beiyang.

In fact, it is not a tune, Bai Yuanjie also holds the official position of the Beiyang Military Government in Nanyang, and the left and right governors of the West and South Eryang Military Mansions are all hanging Beiyang posts, and they can receive an extra salary.

The left governor of Nanyang, Chen Lan, the right governor Bai Yuanjie, the left governor of the West, Zhang Yuanxun, and the right governor Li Xi, all added the governor of the Beiyang Military Government before their official positions.

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

In the marshal's mansion in Beiyang, Bai Yuanjie pursed his lower lip with a smile and lowered his eyes to look at the candied golden orange in his hand to make tea, and said: "He took the Oriental fleet into Asia with the Shang Fang sword, and fought with Xiyi and won successive battles. ”

"You don't know the battle report?"

Bai Yuanjie put the teacup on the table, leaned slightly on the arm of the chair with his left elbow, and opened his mouth: "Chen Fu'er of the supervising army said so, 'This is a great victory over the Western Army, and the proposed treaty precedes a huge amount of land to the Westerners, and according to the opinion of the Westerners, it is conservatively estimated that the radius is 3,000 miles', I heard Ye Gong say that the cabinet thinks that it is possible for both of them, either Chen Shuai treats them as fools, or the Westerners are fools. ”

"With such a large piece of land, how can it be said that it will be cut?"

Wang Tianrui was stunned when he heard this, he even forgot what he was doing here, and said with a wink: "There is still this matter?" Chen Shuai has said everything, what if the battle is not won, or there is another accident? ”

Bai Yuanjie smiled and waved his hand, "I won, I have won." ”

"How did Bai Shuai know?"

"Majiagang sent back ships to Wangxia Prefecture some time ago, and the cabinet pulled the telegram to the other side of Kuwu Island to re-establish the Har Barbarian Guard, and some land along the way for 5,000 miles has been repaired and some land is being repaired, but the post station has been built in the end, and the ship coming back is still on the way, and the letter has been sent back."

"Not only was it a great victory, but there was only a lot more land cut, but the exact news will not be known until the third fleet returns. Put your heart in your stomach, I estimate that this battle will be almost over when Chen Fu'er writes the battle report, just wait to see people dumbfounded. ”

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

In fact, Bai Yuanjie is waiting to see the jokes of the courtiers, because he is also worried about this matter, the land within a radius of three thousand miles is ceded when it is ceded, although it is a relay of people and horses and a telegram alternate transmission It is inevitable that the words of the message will be wrong, but in general, the context of the connection can basically be understood.

Looking through the history books, you won't see this situation, Bai Yuanjie estimated that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military would be dumbfounded when the time came, and after the dumbfounded Beijing City, it would be time to praise the emperor's wisdom - Chen Mu received Shang Fangjian and granted full power when he went to sea, which means that he will be allowed to act on behalf of the emperor overseas, what a great honor?

There will be many people who are thinking about waiting for Chen Mu to do well and bounce off the power for him, but now? Without this authority, who can do the affairs of Asia?

To tell the truth, Lao Bai Te envied Chen Mu and Zhang Yuanxun - although it is very likely that others are also super envious of him, he really envies others.

Let's take a look at what official positions Bai Yuanjie has held, huh? The reform of the Guangdong Guards came to an end, and he became the governor of Guangdong, and then the Ming fleet sailed into the South Seas.

Luzon was at war, and he was transporting rations; Annan was fighting, he was carrying guns; There was a war in Burma, and he was transporting pigs and sheep.

As a result, Nanyang pacified him and became the military governor, and indeed he participated in every war that took place in Nanyang, and the participation rate was extremely high, and basically every soldier ate the food he transported.

Chen Lan also led the fleet to fight several battles, he just had endless escort baggage, in the early years the ship was small and good, in the end there was a chance to fight with the pirates and smugglers who did not obey the constraints, and then the ship was bigger, and others ran away when they saw them from a distance, and they did not hesitate to surrender if they ran away.

There are a lot of meritorious deeds, and even if others win no battle, they have to press on his head for the merit of transporting the baggage in time.

can think about it retrospectively, in this era, the era when the Ming Empire conquered the four seas, Bai Yuanjie, as a military general, was not inferior to anyone 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.

I don't have anything to talk about drinking with people, and when others reminisce about the past, that is, the decisive battle of Linlai Island, where 20,000 enemy troops on the island were killed and drowned, and it was almost rumored; Either it is the ancient city of Bai, overcoming the strong enemy to recover the three propaganda and six comforts; No matter how bad it is in the troubled times of the south, the reappearance of the scene of war elephants can also drink two taels for this.

What about him?

There are only two cards left in the hand.

Xinjiangqiao killed the bandit rebel Li Yayuan, and the Pearl River Estuary blocked the sea giant Zeng Sanlao.

Tell me what it's called?

Everyone else is busy conquering the world, he is a good general, he can only be promoted, promoted, and promoted again when he is idle all day long, and he is very boring!

In addition to being promoted is counting money, there are so many merchant ships running around in the South Seas, in and out of the money, and there is also the Portuguese Archbishop of Haojing, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.

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

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

In fact, Lao Bai has long known that Chen Mu will definitely win a big victory in Oriental Asia.

After all, there are traces of life, and he had a premonition from when he was transferred to Beiyang, he felt, or rather hoped that the imperial court would send him to Asia to pick up Chen Mu's class.

Anyway, there might be a fight over there.

"By the way, you didn't come here just to catch up with Bai, right?" Bai Yuanjie blinked, raised his chin and said, "If there is anything, just say it, I will solve it for you." ”

yes, what am I here for?

Lao Wang thought about it again and again, and finally patted his head and said: "Some time ago, the Jinyi guard gave me a Beiyang poncho, and it was not raining in front of it, but it turned out that this poncho was leaking, and I wanted to come over and ask Brother Bai to help, and give me another one?" ”

Poncho?

Bai Yuanjie rolled his eyes, and asked as if he understood the inside story: "The Jinyi guard is from the cavalry?" ”

"Yes, yes, cavalry."

Bai Yuanjie didn't hold back and laughed.

"Okay, did Your Majesty still send someone else to take care of this matter? I tell you, don't get involved, you can't control this. ”

Bai Yuanjie raised her hand and took the teacup and drank it, saying, "Just say you don't know when you go back." ”

The Beiyang Military Mansion suffered from the loss of Wuqing Bo Li Wei, and Ye Mengxiong's idea, he heard from Xu Jue that Emperor Wanli punished the eunuchs for embezzlement in the palace, and directly sent the leaky poncho to the emperor who liked Beiyang things.

Although Beiyang's original intention was to let the emperor send someone to investigate this matter, it was okay to figure out this matter, but Wang Tianrui couldn't.

The emperor's little father-in-law told the emperor's grandfather, not to mention that Wang Tianrui was going to be finished, and even his daughter was not comfortable in the palace.

This calculation, Lao Bai's heart is clear.
