The plan could not keep up with the changes. For the current plan, they could only be ordered to go to Fuzhou.

Only Zhang Ying and his group received the order. As for Jiang Meiao and Ruan Mei, they were sent two batches later. One was because the documents were delivered late, and the other was late. They couldn’t blame others, and now they could only look at Zhang Ying.

They were envious and jealous. However, this time they invited some senior officers among them to accompany them to the farewell banquet. After all, the inspection office is not a big place, and the inspector's eunuchs are not very generous.

Zhang Ying and others have all concentrated their thoughts on the farewell banquet. There are many and complicated questions that need to be asked, which is what they, the surrendered generals who are unfamiliar with the place, are most eager for.

The preparation work has been handed down to the grassroots officers. Fortunately, there are not many things that need to be prepared. With the combined efforts of the original subordinates and the auxiliary soldiers just bought from Jiang Mei'ao, the preparations were completed in a short time.

All that's left is to have a good rest and meet the new master in a more energetic state.

Senior officers want to learn from the inspections, and the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level will naturally not be idle. They simply learn about the current situation in the Fujian Sea from the auxiliary soldiers who have learned from Jiang Mei'ao. Even if there are deviations in these eight-hand information

It's a big deal, but at least it's better than knowing nothing about it.

"I don't want to speak ill of my old master. Let's just talk about the Minhai incident. It was all said by the former officers. Is it right? Don't worry about it..."

"In the Fujian Sea, to put it bluntly, the Zheng family was in internal strife. The master of the surname Guo attacked the Zhongzuo Institute, killed the Marquis of Dingyuan, and expelled Duke Jianguo. Some said it was to regain the foundation, and some said it was to seize the family property of the clan brother.

Hey, people have two skins, so whoever wants to say what they say can say it. However, to be able to fight, you have to be a Mr. Guo. According to the former boss Lin, there were only about ninety people when Mr. Guo started his business.

It was just one or two ships. Later, they recaptured Chaozhou and attacked Zhangzhou. The Tartars there, well, even the Qing army couldn't defeat them..."

"I heard that in the second half of this year alone, Weiyuan Marquis defeated the Qing army several times, and now people in southern Fujian are changing their surname to Zhu."

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"Who knows, I just heard that the Qing army was defeated every time it sent reinforcements to Zhangzhou, and it was defeated every time it went there. Now there are no usable troops in Fujian."

"No wonder they asked us to go to Fuzhou to wait for orders in such a hurry. They want to use us as cannon fodder."

"..."

Similar descriptions and similar dialogues are performed in almost the same way on every ship of Zhang Ying and others. Zhang Ying and others cannot continue to wear the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty on such occasions, let alone wear them.

Armor or something, I simply changed into casual clothes for the banquet.

Unlike in the city, the conditions here are relatively simple. The Inspection Department Yamen was first established, and there were many tables borrowed by the people below from ordinary people's homes. It was said to be a banquet, but in fact the dishes were all home-cooked, especially there were many fish dishes.

, fried, fried, steamed and braised, plus fish soup, it was almost done. I poured wine, but there were still a few jars that could be eaten. It is said that they were all brought when I took office, and I originally kept them at home.

What they enjoy is now cheaper for them.

There was so much food and drink, but it was impossible to find a female musician. In the evening, the banquet officially started. After saying the toasts, everyone at the banquet began to toast each other. This was nothing more than a wish for Zhang Ying and others to be appreciated by Zhang Xuesheng.

I wish Jiang Meiao and Ruan Mei that they can receive the news as soon as possible, and I wish that the inspection team will be promoted and make a fortune. It is a great fate that we all meet here today, and we can help each other in the future.

Some very clichéd things were even more boring at this simple banquet. Fortunately, everyone present did not put their thoughts on it. Instead, they frequently showed their goodwill to the patrol, hoping to trick out more.

What useful stuff to come.

The continuous flattery shows that the phenomenon of abuse of officials and titles in the imperial court is serious, and the official positions held by these guys are not very valuable, but the praise of such a large group of "high-ranking officials" still makes the inspection a bit fussy.

Xunran, after a few drinks, he can no longer hold his mouth.

"As for this blessing, he was a fellow countryman and confidant of Zheng Zhilong. Later, Zheng Zhilong supported the puppet emperor, and he also followed the rising tide and made an earl. He seemed to be called Wu Yibo. This man, after all, is

Those who are loyal to our Qing Dynasty, when Zheng Ci succeeded Zheng Cai to guard the Gan Pass, he and his nephew Shi Lang disobeyed the order, and later they directly surrendered to our Qing Dynasty. He followed Li Chengdong and the others into Guangdong, taking the lead and working very hard.

…”

"Later, Li Chengdong's fellow rebelled, and he also rebelled. But he was a foreign military general and was severely marginalized, and then he voted for Zheng Ci. After several years of fighting, for some reason, the two sides suddenly had conflicts. Zheng

Shi Fu's two nephews and their entire family were arrested, but Shi Lang escaped. Who knew that Shi Lang escaped from the Zhongzuo Institute, but was tricked by Chen Kai..."

After a few glasses of wine, I became more drunk during the inspection and talked more and more. I talked about Zheng Chenggong’s intention to kill Shi Lang in one breath, but when I got to the key point, I suddenly stopped, ate some side dishes and drank some wine.

, savoring it carefully, it is completely a posture to whet everyone's appetite.

Zheng Chenggong did not arrest Shi Fu earlier, but now Shi Fu has been cleared. Many people wanted to find out the inside story, so they continued to praise him until the inspector was satisfied.

He continued talking.

"It was a dark and windy night. It is said that Shi Fu planned to rescue his nephew, but he did not show up because he was not sure what Zheng Ci's plan was. But Shi Lang, with a group of Shi Fu and

About a hundred of his cronies left the Zhongzuo Institute in a hurry and took a boat straight to Anping Town, saying they wanted to seek shelter from his uncle named Zheng Ci. Unexpectedly, more than a hundred people had just arrived at Anping Bridge.

When I was walking, I saw a scholar standing on the bridge, chanting poems to the moon."

"It would be fine if it were someone else, but Shi Lang recognized the scholar, even to the point where he could not forget it until he turned into ashes. Who is that person, so that everyone knows, this person is Chen Kai, nicknamed the Deadly Scholar

Chen Jingcheng has a scholar's life-killing sword in his hand, which he killed all the way from Datong Prefecture in Shanxi Province to Chaozhou. The sword is stained with the blood of living creatures. There is a poem saying..."

The more we talked about it, the more nonsense the inspector began to talk, perhaps because he drank too much. But after listening to this Seven Heroes and Five Righteous style fighting scene, Shi Fu, Zheng Chenggong and Chen

Kaidu had irreconcilable conflicts, but he could still hear clearly clearly. As for when they arrived in Fuzhou and saw Shi Fu, the impression of their first meeting was very important, and they kept scolding Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai, that is

Best plus point.

The banquet was still going on. Gradually, the nonsense of the inspection became more and more boundless. They concentrated all their energy and finally had a certain understanding of the process of Shi Fu and Qing Qing and the situation in the past six months. They

I couldn't help but feel relieved.

On the other hand, the inspector drank a lot, but he seemed to be drunk like crazy. One moment, Shi Fu was holding an 800-jin drum, urn, and golden hammer, and the next, Zheng Chenggong used the Heaven-shaking Seal. It was so lively. Here we are.

In the end, everyone didn't take him seriously anymore, and just kept eating, chatting, and thinking about themselves. Until the end of the banquet, when they were already thinking about leaving, the patrol inspector walked over in three steps.

, saying that he wanted to give Zhang Ying a parting gift as a commemoration.

Regarding this inspection, Zhang Ying and the others actually looked down upon them, but they did help them a lot, and they were considered kind people who took money to do things. Now that they had to send gifts, Zhang Ying felt a little emotional.

Can you still suffer a loss if you keep the etiquette? Zhang Ying resisted at first, and then walked down the slope to accept the kindness. Then, the inspector waved his hand and summoned a servant. The servant held a box in his hand, and the inspection opened it casually.

But it is an exquisite short gun.

"This gun doesn't require a match rope."

While inspecting, he picked up the musket and muttered that the loading methods were different between those without a match rope and those with a match rope. If he wanted to demonstrate it to Zhang Ying, he started loading it on his own.

Flintlock guns did not exist in the Ming Dynasty. Weapons expert Bi Maokang once made one and named it a self-generating gun. This kind of weapon has not been popularized, so not many people know about it. At this moment, when they saw it, they just felt

Novelty, and more importantly, envy, especially Ruan Mei, who has never received such a generous gift from a marquis, but this inspector is willing to give it to such a general with a seal. It is really that even jealousy has been overcome, and he has fallen directly.

On top of hatred.

The inspector seemed to have drunk a little too much, and his hands were not busy, but the order was always wrong, especially when loading gunpowder, the opening was not correct, and it seemed to leak out while pouring in.

There were more people than those who came in. After a long time, the inspector burped and finally loaded the blunderbuss. Then he did not hand it to Zhang Ying. Instead, he raised his hand and opened the blunderbuss.

Pointing directly at Zhang Ying's forehead, there was a bang.
