(The fifth watch is over, I wish all book friends a happy National Day, and those who have a monthly pass can also smash it over o (*≧▽≦)ツ)

Under the exquisite command of Wu Ding, the Weishan battalion quickly seized the landing site, and swept away the remaining enemies in the buildings on both sides of the street inch by inch, and the occasional thief army master was also torn to pieces by hungry wolf-like masters like Fang Greedy Wolf and Huikong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, the unrivalled musketeers perform the tactic of lining up to shoot to the light march of the musketeers. With artillery fire, clever commanders, powerful musket teams, and expert assistance, there is no suspense in this kind of war.

After seeing the true strength of the Volunteer Battalion, the Weishan Battalion couldn't help but congratulate themselves on their good luck, otherwise they would have been killed by such unrivaled firepower now.

Of course, this is not the ideal state of the volunteer battalion, and after returning to Zhenjiang after the war to train powerful cavalry, this army will become a real peerless strong army.

By midnight, the battle was completely over, and as Chang Wei expected, Xu Hongru, Xu Heyu and other high-ranking members of the White Lotus Sect disappeared, and at the same time, the elite of the three thousand sailors on the island disappeared, and all that remained were just some fools and fools.

Even there was nothing valuable on the island, and the interrogation of the captives revealed that Xu Heyu had never returned since he took the naval fleet to the White Horse River to meet Xu Hongru last night, and it was obvious that he had already prepared to run away.

A fleet of thousands of men was not a small target, and Chang Wei immediately sent patrol boats to Yutai County on the west shore of the lake and Jining Prefecture to the north to report the situation. For Chang Wei and his troops, the war is over, and the remaining traces of Tengxian and Xu Hongru are handed over to Yuan Keli, Zhao Yan, Yang Guosheng, Yang Zhaoji, Liao Dong and other legitimate Shandong officials.

Anyway, there is nothing good to be gained in the war, Chang Wei's exploits are enough, and he will be jealous if he fishes. Moreover, because of the pursuit of Xu Hongru, the huge wealth in the temple of Our Lady of Zou County, he didn't even get a tael of silver, and all of it was sealed by Yuan Keli on the spot and put into the treasury.

rested on Nanyang Island for one night, rewarded 30,000 soldiers, and got Yuan Keli's news early the next morning: Yu Hongzhi and Liu Yongming of Teng County escaped from Teng County with their descendants last night, and the rest of them all surrendered.

At this point, the White Lotus Sect has calmed down, as for the remaining extermination of the remnants of the bandits, and the elimination of the backbone of the White Lotus Sect is a matter for the local yamen, and there will definitely be small-scale battles, but Xu Hongru has gone and can no longer set off any storms.

When the messenger saw that Chang Wei's side had been victorious, he asked him to return to Jining, saying that Lord Yuan and Lord Zhao were going to celebrate the achievements of the generals and reward the army.

"Reward the army? Then you don't have to. ”

After all, the origin of Chang Wei's troops is a bit problematic, and they can't be placed in front of everyone in front of everyone, and now that the army is in chaos, no one knows how many people he has, so it is appropriate to take advantage of the chaos to let his subordinates withdraw.

He didn't want to show all his hole cards, the 5,000 volunteer battalions were approved by Grandpa Xu and the imperial court, and these surrendered troops should be returned to the Shandong Metropolitan Division for processing, but Chang Wei didn't want to hand them over.

simply asked the two cousins, Chang Ping, Lu Wenmao and other generals to take Wu Ding, Cheng Laohu, Yan Ruyu and Weishan Ying, Jin Yuwei, all of them went south to Zhenjiang Mansion first, and asked his second brother how to settle this group of people, it was really impossible to let them go to sea to Liuheng Island first.

The perception that doesn't like to be lively also follows the fleet with the troublesome Huikong.

After the arrangement was completed, everyone else went south by boat, only Yan Ruyu was very reluctant, although she didn't dare to resist Chang Wei's order, but the love in her eyes would never deceive.

After thinking about it, she simply let her stay, anyway, no one on the official army knows her, and the ordinary low-level captives don't know her, so there is no trouble in staying, and she is not a big figure in the White Lotus Sect that must be arrested by the imperial court, and others can't say anything gossip if they take refuge in him.

After seeing the fleet go south, Chang Wei took Tang Jinyi, Yan Ruyu, Han Chai, Beidou Jiuzi, Ma Yuan, Cheng Shiyu and others to the north to receive rewards.

Seventy miles from Nanyang Town to Jining Fu waterway, now the canal has been fully opened, the fast boat goes straight up, and it arrives outside Jining City at noon, and Jining City has completely recovered its former vitality.

The city was full of lights, and when the gentry and common people saw the generals entering the city, they spontaneously gathered on both sides of the road to offer wine, meat, and money as their hearts. The officials of the government stepped forward to greet him, and loudly announced the name of the person who said it, allowing the people to admire him, which was also a glory that the victor should enjoy.

When Chang Wei arrived, everyone's response was very different.

As soon as the people who greeted them on the street heard the official report: "The first hero of the White Lotus Cult, Jinyi Weibei Town, has arrived!" and immediately sent a tsunami-like cheer from the mountains to show their reverence for him.

And the generals who entered the city in front of him and behind him looked at each other coldly, their faces full of jealousy and resentment, obviously thinking that he had seized the credit and limelight that originally belonged. But they never thought that without Chang Wei's brave performance, would they be able to live to celebrate the achievement?

Chang Wei didn't have time to pay attention to the feelings of these people, he was wearing a python robe, wearing a black gauze folded scarf, a sword hanging from his waist and a musket in his ribs, and his face was handsome and heroic. Although there are the least number of people around, more than a dozen masters are all outstanding and majestic, and the passers-by who lead them even applaud at sky-high prices, and even the image of the notorious Jinyiwei has been diluted by him and his subordinates.

Under the guidance of the officials, all the way to the Jining official office, a generation of famous ministers and emperors Yuan Keli actually went out to greet him in person, which was an unprecedented courtesy. You must know that Yuan Keli is upright, his prestige is like the sky, and even Wei Zhongxian, who is powerful in the world, has to bow his hand in a proper manner when he sees him, when has he ever seen Yuan Keli take a fancy to a junior with a low official position and a weak crown?

The local officials who followed Yuan Keli out to greet him were already thinking about how to tie up with Chang Wei in their hearts, and the generals who came to participate in the celebration banquet were even more angry, if it weren't for Yuan Keli's mountain in front of them, they would have come up and pointed at Chang Wei's nose and questioned. The false title of a brocade guard cannot intimidate these commanders, generals, and guerrillas.

Yuan Keli has been an official for decades, and he has an extremely accurate grasp of the psychology of these people, and he doesn't call the official name, laughs loudly, and says: "Fearless nephew, I finally saw you, a great hero!"

Chang Wei immediately rolled off the saddle and dismounted, and replied with sincere fear: "How can the young general He De dare to let Mr. Jiehuan lower his rank to greet him? ”

As he spoke, he was about to fall to the ground, but Yuan Keli stepped forward to support him and said with a smile: "Deserve it! In the rest of the month, you personally risked your own danger to go deep into the thief's nest and made the first great contribution to pacifying the White Lotus Sect! Moreover, the old man is your father Changqing's teacher, and you are my junior, so you don't have to see outside!"

Chang Wei smiled and said, "In this way, I want to call Mr. Master." ”

"Haha!" Yuan Keli smiled heartily and said: "Kong Rong, a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, originally had a relationship with Chen Qun's father, but later Kong Rong thought that Chen Qun was a scholar, so he was commensurate with Chen Qun's peers.

"Take me as an apprentice?"

Chang Wei was surprised and delighted, and the scholars and doctors not only paid attention to their talents, but also paid attention to the faction portal. Yuan Keli, as an emperor, did not form a party for personal gain, neither showed favor to the eunuch party nor favored Donglin, and won praise from the government and the opposition, so he was a generation of famous ministers. If the news that he publicly said that he wanted to accept Chang Wei as a disciple would spread, it would definitely shake the Ming Dynasty and the public.

Chang Wei naturally won't miss this kind of opportunity, flirting with the python robe, dressing up, pushing the gold mountain and pouring the jade pillar, Chang Wei solemnly bowed down in front of the Jining official office, and said respectfully: "Disciple Chang Wei meets Mr!" (to be continued.) )
