Of course, Qian Wubing was not snubbing Wang Dong. Although Wang Dong was higher than him in terms of rank, one of them was the commander of the emperor's personal army and the other was a local general. They had no subordinate relationship with each other. At this time,
, if he comes to greet the other party dryly, then he, as the acting commander of the royal guards, will be regarded as somewhat inferior. Therefore, if he can not show up on this occasion, it is better not to show up.
Of course, this reason cannot be explained, and Su Zhifu naturally knows it, so when faced with Wang Dong's inquiry, he just smiled and nodded: "Wang Yanzhong, a thousand households of Jinyiwei in Fujian, arrived in Quanzhou early in the morning. At this moment, Commander Qian
Meeting him!"
"Wang Qianhu!" Wang Dong also smiled and nodded, "Counting the days, he actually arrived very early this morning, not much faster than me. I guess there is something delayed! Then I won't go yet.
If you disturb Commander Qian, wait until Commander Qian has finished his housework before disturbing him again!"
It seemed that it was Qian Wubing's rudeness, but Wang Dong felt a little more comfortable in his heart. Qian Wubing's move seemed domineering, but this move showed that he had no intention of taking credit.
No, although he didn't quite believe that Jin Yiwei would be so kind-hearted, but with the matter in front of him, other than trying to figure out whether the other party had any need for Fujian and specifically selling such a big favor, he really couldn't find anyone else.
reason.
Qian Wubing was listening to Wang Yanzhong's report. As a local Qianhu Office, the news transmission must be better than Qian Wubing at the moment. What Qian Wubing wanted to know most at the moment was what was going on in Guangdong.
.
"Seven days ago, news came from Guangdong that more than 20,000 troops in Siwei and One Town had a collision with the Xiyi who came ashore to harass. The news we got here is that both sides suffered heavy casualties, but at least they recovered the
In the county town occupied by the Western Yi, Guangdong soldiers and horses are currently chasing and suppressing the fleeing Western Yi bandits!"
"More than 20,000 soldiers and horses, heavy casualties, it's a shame he had the nerve to say it!" Qian Wubing snorted: "How many troops are there in Xiyi?"
"The words are unclear. There are always three to five thousand, and the Western Yi are well-equipped. This time, the Guangdong side can no longer cover the lid. The news about our Jinyiwei has been spread to the Zhenfu Division. The cabinet knows the news.
I’m afraid it might be a little late!”
"It's only two thousand at most, or less than two thousand!" Qian Wubing calculated it and said: "The main force of the Xiyi fleet is facing off against the Fujian Navy. Dozens of warships need to be mobilized manually. These few
There was a big battle a few days ago. Could it be that the cannonballs of the Xiyi fleet flew out of the cannons themselves?"
Qian Wubing told Wang Yanzhong the details: "When we were in Boni, we found out the strength of the Xiyi fleet. Their number was only over five thousand at most, and less than half of them could make it ashore. In this Quanzhou battle,
, and also asked some confessions from the prisoners. The number of people is about the same, more than 20,000 troops, against about 2,000 enemy troops, and there were heavy casualties. This is simply the Guangdong side who suffered a defeat and whitewashed their words!"
"Then we should do something. The Xiyi people are still running around. If they escape into Fujian, it will be a disaster. The imperial court has not sent senior officials to patrol Guangdong and Fujian for several years. The Guangdong soldiers and Fujian soldiers and horses may not be able to
Come together!"
"There is no need to do anything!" Qian Wubing shook his head, "With just a few thousand people, how can they make a huge difference? If they escape, it's their luck. If they don't escape, huh, then our brothers who were killed or injured in the officers and soldiers,
It’s not like my death was in vain!”
Seeing that Qian Wubing didn't take issue with the "governor" he proposed, Wang Yanzhong wisely shut his mouth. He only needed to remind him of this kind of thing. If it was too obvious, there would be people who would slander him.
It’s funny, the imperial court sends high officials to patrol the world, to support the army and support the people. Generally, there is nothing to do with military personnel. At least they must have a Jinshi background. And Jiuqing Tingtui, if he is really the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he will show his face in this matter.
If you lose face, then in the army, Jin Yiwei's voice will be greatly increased.
However, Qian Wubing obviously had no intention of doing this, which made Wang Yanzhong feel slightly depressed, but he did not dare to show it.
"No, these people must have had an evacuation plan before they came ashore. They can't do this kind of thing!" Qian Wubing didn't look at him and fell into a trance alone: "Maybe, when their fleet returns,
Just pick him up and leave!"
"Isn't it good to leave?" Wang Yanzhong asked in confusion.
"It's not as good as keeping them all!" Qian Wubing sighed. Even if this matter was true, he wouldn't be able to exert much effort.
"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else. This time you are in Fuzhou, tell me what you saw and heard. What do the local people and the government in Fujian say about this incident?"
More than an hour later, the two ended their conversation. At this time, Qian Wubing learned about the arrival of Fujian Navy reinforcements from people outside. He originally planned to go to the dock to see the prisoner exchange, but because of the beginning
For the reasons I mentioned, I couldn’t go.
"Wang Dong, this guy didn't come too late!" Wang Yanzhong heard this from the side and nodded his head to comment.
"Do you have a relationship with him?" Qian Wubing asked. When he thought that all his subordinates had a relationship with this person, he became even more depressed. Daqing, in the past few days, he was used to restraining himself in front of Magistrate Su, and he was totally confused.
I forget that in front of warriors, even if I am arrogant and domineering, it actually doesn't matter. If the Jinyiwei is not arrogant and domineering, is he still a Jinyiwei?
"There are some friendships. As you know, my lord, there are inevitably some things in this place that have to be dealt with by our Qianhu Office. Later, my lord was in Dongfan and made a big splash. There are many people in the navy who want to get the glory of our Jinyiwei."
After that, some of Wang Dong's subordinates came to me. As an introduction, they had visited Wang Dong several times. Well, I heard that this person was good at water warfare, but he was not very ambitious.
A man who makes fuss in his belly!"
"Interesting!" A somewhat sinister image appeared in his mind. Qian Wubing nodded slightly, "Since we are old friends, I don't have many worthy people at hand. Please greet him later for me.
Well, if we survive these few days, I think we can escape!"
"Understood!" Wang Yanzhong nodded. This was treatment that belonged to a confidant. How could he refuse?
"However, this subordinate is a little unclear. When you say you can survive these days, do you not want to meet this person? Then what should I say to you when the time comes?"
"You can say whatever you want!" Qian Wubing chuckled, "What we do has little to do with Fujian, so let him rest assured. After all, some brothers in our fleet are also from the Navy.
I always remember this favor, it should be his contribution, and it will not be lost to him!"
"Credits?" Wang Yanzhong was surprised. The war has not yet come to an end, but Mr. Qian is talking about credit. If the court does not hold him accountable, then the officers and navy generals in these places are already grateful. How dare they still care about their credit?
"Yes, credit!" Qian Wubing waved his hand, "We'll know in a few days..."
