Chapter 180 Banquet
In front of Shun Guardian Mansion, officials of all sizes and sizes in Lushun were placed according to their ranks. The only difference is that nearly half of the officials in the Qing Dynasty were wearing new 6 military uniforms. Between a group of red roofs and blue jackets, it looked a bit eye-catching and a bit out of the crowd. Bar} Professionally provide mobile e-book downloads
Colorful flags flutter, and the scorching sun hangs high.
Even at noon in early winter, the sun shines on your body, giving you a warm feeling.
A squeak!
As the convoy arrived at the gate of the garrison palace, an officer quickly jogged to the door of the car in the middle of the convoy and gently opened the door.
Zhang Yunfei, wearing a marshal's uniform, got out of the car.
Looking around the guards and the people watching the fun, Zhang Yunfei smiled when he saw the officials who were greeting him in front of the garrison palace.
Because he saw many people changing into the clothes prepared by Zhang Yunfei for them, each looking energetic.
Back in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Yunfei was always low-key. For the officials under Fengtian Province, he did not want to touch these officials except the army and important strategic locations.
As usual, Lushun is an example. Zhang Yunfei is determined not to let others get involved in such an important strategic fortress. Therefore, Zhang Yunfei only sent new 6 military uniforms to the military officers of Lushun Fortress to take a look at their attitude.
As for civil servants, Zhang Yunfei believes that it is not yet time.
I'm anxious and can't eat hot tofu! There are many reasons for doing this, all aspects and complex.
The Qing Dynasty was not afraid of warriors, but was afraid of warriors being educated.
Zhang Yunfei just gave the court a signal. He was just a warrior and a militant. He was peaceful and peacefully General Shengjing and would not interfere with the local government affairs of Fengtian Province.
The effect is good. After Zhang Yunfei talked with the veteran General Song Qing for a night, the iron-blooded old soldier was convinced by Zhang Yunfei.
Originally, when Song Qing saw the strength of Zhang Yun's enclave, he didn't want to manage military affairs anymore. Therefore, Zhang Yunfei was able to successfully give the position of the garrison to Zhao Huaiye and fulfill his promise in Dalian Bay.
Zhang Yunfei couldn't let Song Qing retire like this. It would be a pity to keep such a good golden signboard without having to. Finally, Song Qing understood and agreed to continue to be named under Zhang Yunfei's account.
It is also because Song Qingcai's leadership led Jiang Guitu, Cheng Yun and Zhang Guangqian and other Beiyang generals finally made up their minds. Although they always cause trouble for Song Qing, they admire Song Qing's tough style of soldiers. Song Qing was willing to come to Zhang Yunfei's account. Although it cannot prove that Zhang Yunfei must be a wise master, at least it means that Zhang Yunfei will not be a waste. They believe in the vision of the old general Song.
Zhang Yunfei was very happy when he looked at the shiny black brim on the military caps on the heads of several people, reflecting the noon sunshine.
It is easy to wear this military uniform, but it is difficult to take it off. The Qing Dynasty rule was very scrupulous.
Tighten the marten velvet cloak and the military cap, Zhang Yunfei strode towards them.
"Standing attentively! Salute!"
Hearing the guards shouting greetings, Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Huaiye, the guard of Lushun, immediately led officials from all over the country to beat Zhang Yunfei.
"Da Qian" is a ritual that men in the Qing Dynasty used when they greeted their parents. They bent their left knee forward, bent their right leg backward, leaned their upper body slightly forward, and drooped their right hand. This is a ritual that is between bowing and kneeling.
This kind of etiquette was originally a unique etiquette of the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty. It was called "Da Qian'er" and was a salute in the old days. The Manchus paid attention to etiquette. The younger generation gave the older generation a small gift every three days and a big gift every five days. That is, they had to pay tribute to the elders every three days, and when they met the elders every five days, they had to "Da Qian'er" etiquette. A man had to bow his waist when he hit his right hand, and stretch his left hand to hold his knees, just like picking up things; a woman had to hold his knees with both hands when he hit his knees. When relatives and friends met, they would be able to hold their waists and meet each other, regardless of gender.
As the Qing army entered the pass and ruled the Central Plains, this kind of etiquette began to penetrate into the Han etiquette, especially in the north. When we met, both men and women knelt with one foot, fell on the ground, and lowered their hands near the ankle joint. Later, it turned into a man who bent his knees and said to pay tribute to someone; women squatted to behave as a polite.
Zhang Yunfei told Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Huaiye, the garrison of Lushun, in advance that he did not want to see officials of all sizes and big and small kneeling all over the streets.
Zhao Huaiye is also a ghost elf. He knew that Zhang Yunfei didn't like others kneeling down for him, so he came up with the etiquette of beating Qian'er. This is both a big gift and not a kneeling ceremony, which really made Zhang Yunfei happy.
"No gift!" Zhang Yunfei said, giving Zhao Huaiye a satisfied look.
"The garrison office has been cleaned up, the welcome lunch for the adults has been prepared, and all the civil and military officials of Lushun should also be here!" Zhao Huaiye said.
"You did a good job, I'm very satisfied! Do it well!" Zhang Yunfei praised, nodded with satisfaction, and said in thought: "This Zhao Huaiye is worthy of being an old fox in the officialdom for a long time. It seems that there is no inappropriate promotion and win over him. It is really cost-effective to take it."
"Thank you for your cultivation! Please come and ask me!" Zhao Huaiye said respectfully, feeling happy.
Zhang Yunfei nodded, stretched out his right hand and pointed at the gate of the garrison mansion, and said to the old general Song Qing next to him: "Please please, Senior General Song!"
"Sir Xie, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. You should ask first!" Old General Song Qing bowed slightly and said to Zhang Yunfei, smiling at the same time, and he was very helpful in his politeness to Zhang Yunfei.
See you Zhang Yunfei
He agreed, so he had to ask Jiang Gui again, Cheng Yun and Zhang Guang’s first three majors said that the Lord is a powerful general in Beiyang. Zhang has heard of the name for a long time, please!"
When Jiang Gui and the other two saw that Zhang Yunfei was treated very well, they felt a warm feeling in their hearts. The previous unhappiness was also wiped out, so they bowed to Zhang Yunfei at the same time and said, "Sir Xie, please, please, please, wait and then!"
After some politeness, Zhang Yunfei made some tricks. Seeing that the effect was good, Zhang Yunfei nodded modestly and said, "Then I'm disrespectful!"
"Sir, please!" officials of all sizes said in unison.
So under the guidance of Zhao Huaiye, Zhang Yunfei stepped into the gate of the Lushun Governing Mansion.
According to Zhang Yunfei's instructions, not talking about business affairs is just a simple dinner. It's not that Zhang Yunfei doesn't want to talk about business affairs, but that it's not time yet.
Looking at the world, countries are carrying out reforms, and the United States, Russia, and even Japan are planning financial reforms.
And what about the country? It was still a mess. Zhang Yunfei had learned from Zhang Er before that the Qing Dynasty's finance was completely a market economy model, and prices and finance were not controlled by the court and changed with the changes in the market.
This is a good thing, but if we have to do it, if we do this, it will undoubtedly be a step further. However, the lifeline of the Qing Dynasty was controlled by the great powers.
Zhang Yunfei was not in a hurry, but was waiting.
I have seen some eyebrows from Zhang Er's information. Combining history, Zhang Yunfei dared to conclude that he would soon have a reform. The Hundred Days Reform that shattered countless people's dreams.
Zhang Yunfei is not moving now, just pretending to the court, making the court less nervous and cold towards Zhang Yunfei.
When Emperor Guangxu began to reform, it was Zhang Yunfei's legitimate reform.
"Sir, please sit down!" After Zhao Huaiye arranged for Zhang Yunfei to sit down, he gave the others a separate command of the seating position.
Soon, everyone arranged the arrangement. There were only three banquet tables in the hall, and the rest were lined up in the yard outside. Although Lushun was not big, there were quite a few officials.
According to custom, only six or eight people can sit on each table. Six means great success. Eight is homophonic to "', which is also auspicious number.
There are six people at Zhang Yunfei's table, Song Qing, Jiang Guitu, Cheng Yun and Zhang Guangqian, Zhao Huaiye and Zhang Yunfei himself. Originally, Zhang Yunfei wanted Major General Li Jun, the captain of the chariot, to attend, but was rejected by Li Jun.
In Li Jun's dialect, this banquet was a communication between Zhang Yunfei and Lushun officials, and he was unwilling to attend. If all of them were Zhang Yun's own people, Li Jun would be interested.
Zhang Yunfei knew that this was just a pretext for Li Jun. Li Jun did not participate because he had to take on Zhang Yunfei's protection mission. This place was no more than Honolulu and the military camp. If you want to kill Zhang Yun's enclave, you must not be careless.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Huaiye, the guard of Lushun, slapped his hands twice in the air, and teams of service staff began to serve the dishes.
Although the conditions of the garrison palace were very simple and far from the luxury of the Honolulu Royal Palace, Zhang Yunfei was still very interested.
The reason is nothing special. After staying in Hawaii for three years, I rarely eat my hometown dishes.
Every time he served a dish, Zhao Huaiye next to him would give Zhang Yunfei a detailed introduction. Zhang Yunfei also listened very carefully. The banquet was not yet open, so he was just playing time.
Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes, and there were many seasons of treasures.
What are colorful snowflake scallops, oil-burned conchs, fried sea intestines, red grilled whole shrimps, steamed lantern abalone, etc., which are exquisitely made, making people feel that they are not eating, but enjoying artwork.
When the last stewed sea cucumber soup fell into the middle of the banquet, the hot water splashes announced the official start of the lively lunch.
Only when the crisp sound of wine glasses were heard, Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Huaiye of the Lushun garrison stood up and said, "I have only been following the Duke of Fuguo for a few days, but it was these days that I have been training the Duke of Fuguo for training, so that I could get from an ignorant Dalian Bay garrison to the throne of the First Fortress of the Qing Dynasty...
...Since I was appointed, I was worried and sighed, and I was afraid that I would be defeated by the Duke of the Fuguo. Three years ago, the Sino-Japanese War broke out, and the Qing River and the 6 were defeated. This was the crisis of the Qing Dynasty. Our Duke of the Fuguo of the Fuguo still sold its property and bought advanced warships from Chile...
...Since the establishment of the Nanyang Navy, it has attacked Japan in surprise, turning the tide and building the building at the end. After three years of hard work abroad, thousands of warships dominate the ocean, hundreds of thousands of tigers serve! Honolulu is prosperous and prosperous. Whether it is fighting against Japan or Spain, the power of Thai power, a few days ago, it was the Russian Far East Fleet known as the world's second largest navy...
...Not to mention that the Qing Dynasty, from the court to the poor, was the foreigners who had always bullied us. Who would look at each other differently? We followed the adults to run Fengtian Province. With the powerful military strength and endless wealth, within a few years, our Fengtian Province will definitely be at peace under the wise leadership of the adults, and the people will be prosperous and the soldiers and horses will be strong...
...Today, Zhao borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. All the ministers and teachers will pay a cup to the Lord with Zhao. I wish you success and success in your career and a great reputation all over the world!"
