448. Chapter 448 Go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival
Regardless of whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, Qian Wubing got two very clear messages from his conversation with Wang Yu that night.
First, the huge profits brought by his own fleet have aroused the covetousness of many people, and they can even influence the current day. This makes people who originally thought that with Wang Yue taking care of them and having the Dai Wangfu as an ally, they can rest easy.
Qian Wubing became alert. There were some things that no matter how much preparation he did, there were some variables that he could not control.
Secondly, a decree from the imperial court came to Fujian soon, and most likely, this decree was directed at Qian Wubing! This also meant that he could not take the fleet outside Fusang during this period.
The affairs of Jinyiwei's overseas Qianhu Office must be dealt with urgently. Who knows whether the decree will call him to Beijing. He must make this plan. After he leaves here, he will start this small thing in Dongfan and Fusang.
The foundation can continue to operate well.
However, this was not the only headache in front of him. Although the rebels of the Qin brothers had expressed their intentions, it was hard to say whether the other party had received it.
The army is entrenched in the depths of the jungle. Even if they dare not provoke Tamsui City due to their strength at the moment, what if their strength increases greatly one day? Therefore, this will be a serious problem after all!
The Portuguese squadron is in his own hands, and even their flagship has now become the naval force of Qianhu Station overseas. This matter must be handled properly. Qian Wubing will never want to wait until he has another chance.
I had the opportunity to return to Tamsui, and what I saw was a miserable scene that had been bombarded by the Portuguese Far East Fleet into rubble. There were four gunboats in one squadron, and you can get an idea of how many ships there were in the entire Far East Fleet.
, the opponent, such as those large Ming ports guarded by naval forces and forts, such as Guangzhou and Quanzhou, the Portuguese Far East Fleet may be weakened, but it will not be difficult for them to deal with a young port city like Tamsui.
According to Benson, the Far East Fleet returned to Europe last year. If the journey goes smoothly, they will return from Europe by the end of this year or the beginning of next spring. Although this matter is not a top priority, it cannot leave a mess for Tamsui.
Subordinates of the city! If you have a fleet, a naval fleet that has been purely used for combat, guarding this place, then there is no need to worry about this matter!
Money! Money! Qian Wubing was really worried. When he thought of the amount of money that fleet would cost, it was hard for him not to be upset! The Fujian Navy could guard Tamsui, but that was the navy of the imperial court.
, so what if he is a royal guard? Can he still use his official weapons for private use, use chicken feathers as arrows, and mobilize the imperial army to guard his home and courtyard? Let alone whether the generals who hold military power will ignore him, even if they
Regardless of him, the imperial court has no reason to hand over the military affairs to a Jin Yiwei. If this is really the case, the world will be in chaos! You know, up to now, he is just a Jin Yiwei commanding the affairs, not the Jin Yiwei commander.
!In the previous dynasty, there was a strange incident in which the commander of the Jinyiwei was beaten to death by a group of civil servants in the court hall! You really want to think that the Jinyiwei Yamen is the one who leads the world's troops! Then this world is not the world of the Ming Dynasty!
Wang Yu has not appeared in front of Qian Wubing since that night. However, Qian Wubing still knows his whereabouts. This guy is either walking in Tamsui City or on the road every day. He looks like a stranger.
Being fat also has its benefits, at least having more energy is guaranteed! However, thinking about the fact that he still has the job of being the head of the Ministry of War, Qian Wubing is relieved. Those old guys have to have something to show off to him.
He came out and said that what he said with his red mouth and white teeth was somewhat unconvincing. As for finding something worth counting, it generally fell on Wang Yu's head.
In mid-July, the decree from Beijing finally arrived in Dongfan and Tamsui! When the decree was announced, Qian Wubing thought it was a eunuch, but unexpectedly he saw a familiar face - Wang Zhiqiu! He left Beijing
At that time, Wang Zhiqiu stayed in the clerk's room of Nanya. However, this time he came, the clothes of a royal guard changed into the clothes of a hundred households.
After reading out the imperial edict in a decent manner, Wang Zhiqiu and others met Qian Wubing as subordinates. At this time, Qian Wubing discovered that in addition to Wang Zhiqiu, whom he was familiar with, the group of Jinyi guards behind Wang Zhiqiu were all
Some of the people he knew were familiar to him. To be precise, they were all the remnants of the army when he first entered Nanya. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were his direct descendants. He did not expect that the people who came to announce the decree would all be his subordinates.
Down.
The imperial edict was obscure and difficult to understand, and it was written in a four-legged and six-parallel way. I don’t know which writer showed off his literary talent in front of Zhu Houzhao and caught the knife for him, but the general meaning was understood by Wang Zhiqiu’s explanation. Qian Wubing still understood it!
It's probably like, "The emperor is considerate of his ministers, and what Qian Wubing has done in Fujian in the past six months is remarkable. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, I will give you a favor. You can go home for the festival! By the way, let's talk about merits and deeds."
"Reward, let you feel what the emperor's grace is" and so on.
Of course, this imperial edict will definitely not be said in such a village manner, but the meaning is still there.
After Qian Wubing received the imperial edict, he felt guilty for no reason. After the edict was issued, his return to Beijing was a definite matter. Thinking of his promise to Zhu Wanjing to accompany her to wait for the birth of his child, he was afraid of this.
He couldn't do it anymore. After instructing the Yan brothers to receive the group of old acquaintances from Beijing, Qian Wubing returned to his study and wrote a long letter to Zhu Wanting. First, he tactfully explained that he could not
Explain to Zhu Wanjing how to fulfill your promise, and now explain everything about the Overseas Thousand Household Office to her. In Qian Wubing’s arrangement, Olivia is the Qianhu Office
, Zhu Wanting is going to be the comforter, both of them are his women, one in culture and one in martial arts, and they can coordinate with each other so that he can rest assured!
Of course, if possible, he hoped that after the fleet went to Fuso, Zhu Wanjing would leave her woman and children in Nagasaki with the fleet back to Tamsui. Qian Wubing didn't think it was something worth worrying about.
, the Li soldiers in Nagasaki can be rotated regularly, and the overseas Qianhu Station can also be stationed. However, there is no need for the person who made the decision to stay there all year round! It is better to stay in his own place
A place that makes people feel more at ease.
After two days of complicated arrangements, Qian Wubing set off from Tamsui. This time, he no longer passed through Fujian, but started directly from Tamsui, along the coast, through Jiangsu and Zhejiang, through Shandong, directly to Tianjin, and then from Tamsui.
Get off the ship in Tianjin and return to the capital.
On the day of departure, there was no sound. Most residents in the city did not even know that their ambassador had left Tamsui. They stood on the ship slowly leaving the dock and looked at the city behind them bathed in the morning sun.
The young city slowly became smaller in his sight. Qian Wubing recalled the day when he first set foot on this land, as if it was a world away. Maybe the things he did were insignificant, and maybe, in the eyes of future generations,
Here, he is just a powerful and domineering Jin Yiwei. He immigrated to Dongfan just for his own selfish interests. However, in any case, because of him, this Dongfan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt about this.
, even if it takes another three hundred or five hundred years, there is no doubt about this.
Qian Wubing stood at the stern of the boat with a huge flag waving on the rugged sea. The sunlight hit the flag that was constantly fluttering, and became entangled with the ripples reflected on the water, turning the golden flag on the flag.
