Chapter 284 The Young Master of the General Baikui (Seventeen)
Gao Pragmatic, a member of the northern capital, relied on his prestige to secure his position as chief minister at the age of less than forty. Gao Yuan, a prosperous small town on the southern border, was also working hard for his own prestige.
Before coming to southern Xinjiang, Gao Yuan was just a noble and abstract symbol in the minds of all walks of life in southern Xinjiang - Gao pragmatism, the eldest son of Huang Zhiting and his wife.
Of course, this is something Gao Yuan himself knows very well, so after coming to southern Xinjiang, he needs to make his image more concrete and show some characteristics as much as possible, especially the characteristics of a superior person.
These things were not taught to him by his father, Gao Pangshi, but by his mother and aunt. Of course, the aunt here only refers to Liu Xin, but does not include Meng Guzhezhe and Jia Fei Ji. After all, the former is Gao Yuan's enlightenment teacher, and the latter two
The communication between the author and Gao Yuan was very little.
Relatively speaking, Liu Xin, as the first teacher, taught him more formally, and what he said was mainly "big principles". As the biological mother, Huang Zhiting would naturally be willing to speak more straightforwardly - for example, as the sixth daughter of the Gao family
The eldest young master of the house, the de facto young master of southern Xinjiang, Gao Yuan should pay attention to the "technical level" of how to establish his authority and how to show favor.
According to his mother's teachings, Gao Yuan's first stop when he landed in Southern Xinjiang was undoubtedly Dingnan City. Dingnan is the core of Southern Xinjiang's rule. As the eldest young master, Gao Yuan, since he went south to take charge of military affairs this time, naturally
First of all, I need to meet with the senior officials of Southern Xinjiang one by one here.
Perhaps because of the rock-solid inheritance system of the eldest son in the Ming Dynasty, the senior military and political leaders in southern Xinjiang all attached great importance to Gao Yuan's arrival without exception.
In terms of "civilian officials", Gao Mengnan, the Prime Minister of Siam and the head of the National Policy Advisory Group of Siam Jinghua, led all the important officials from Siam, Annam, Namjan, Bago and other kingdoms as well as patrol envoys and above officials to the port to greet him.
In terms of "military generals", Gao Jue, deputy director of the Military Command Department of the Southern Xinjiang Guard Army, led by generals at all levels of the Military Command Department and commanders of major garrison forces (deputy commanders stayed at the station), chiefs of staff, logistics chiefs, and the Nanyang Fleet Commander (deputy commander
Stay at the station), the chief of staff, the chief of logistics and the generals above the garrison envoy in several key areas came to the port to greet him.
Suddenly, Dingnan City was not only crowded with people, but also because most of the generals who came from other places came with hundreds of guards, the military in the city was extremely powerful and even seemed a little murderous.
Under such a situation, the Siamese royal family was naturally frightened and trembling. The royal family, from the king to the dignitaries, all attended the welcoming ceremony. They accompanied the senior officials of Jinghua to greet them at the port early in the morning. Although they all had
Although there was no umbrella to protect me from the sun, I was still being scorched and kept drinking water. However, I didn’t dare to show any sign of impatience. Instead, I had to always maintain a humble and even flattering smile.
It is easy to be delayed by sea conditions and weather problems when sailing on the sea. Gao Yuan's trip was also slightly affected by a period of headwind this time, and it was almost noon when he finally arrived at Dingnan Port.
When the second-class battleship "Dongchang" belonging to the Beiyang Fleet on which Gao Yuan was aboard - the flagship of Gao Pragmatic's expedition to North Korea - arrived outside Dingnan Port, a welcome ceremony immediately began in the port. Firecrackers were blasted.
The noise of gongs and drums is unavoidable, and various flower petals are sprinkled in unknown ways on the watchtowers all over the harbor. It can be said that there is some strange romance in the grandeur.
Gao Yuan, who had already walked out of the cabin, had already seen the crowded Dingnan Port. He knew that the crowds in this huge port were all here to greet him. He was young and it was his first time to travel alone. Naturally, he couldn't help but feel excited.
These are the inheritance that father and mother will hand over to themselves in the future!
Of course, of course, if you want to successfully take over this huge inheritance, in addition to being the natural eldest son, you must also be trustworthy.
Gao Yuan took a deep breath and recalled in his mind his mother's teachings before leaving: "A noble and courteous corporal, serious and approachable."
This statement seemed a bit contradictory, but Huang Zhiting did not explain too much, but asked Gao Yuan to understand it by himself. Gao Yuan chewed on this statement many times along the way. Sometimes he felt that he understood it, and sometimes he felt that he still had questions.
But no matter what, now that Dingnancheng has arrived, his journey of testing is finally about to officially begin. No matter how much he has understood his mother's words, now is the time to see the truth.
In a daze, the battleship "Dongchang" slowly docked. A large group of civil and military officials from southern Xinjiang walked forward quickly, and Gao Yuan also walked slowly off the side of the ship after the guards arranged a guard of honor.
At this time, the people arriving from southern Xinjiang quickly divided into two groups. The vast majority of them knelt down as soon as they saw Gao Yuan landing. Among them were civil servants who were ministers of various kingdoms and generals of the garrison. And a few were
He still remained standing, but held his hands toward Gao Yuan from a distance, with an affectionate smile on his face.
The former were all servants of the Gao family, including Gao Jue, who had the highest status among the generals; the latter were all relatives of the Gao family, no matter how close they were, as long as their surname was Gao, they did not have to kneel down, and Gao Mengnan was the leader.
"My uncle came to greet me. My nephew was very frightened. This is too polite." Before Gao Mengnan could speak, Gao Yuan bowed his hands and said loudly.
Naturally, Gao Mengnan would not take "my nephew is extremely frightened" seriously. He laughed loudly, stepped forward quickly, and said loudly: "My nephew came to patrol on behalf of my father. Although I am an elder, I am a subordinate. How can I tolerate my nephew?"
Big gift?"
Then he paused for a moment, respectfully raised his hands above his head, bowed his head, and said: "The Prime Minister of Siam, Gao Mengnan, the head of the national policy advisory group of Siam Jinghua, together with the civil and military members of South China Xinjiang, welcome the young master of the family to come for inspection and ask questions.
Your Majesty, please be safe."
Gao Yuan's face became solemn, he straightened his back and said, "My father is very happy, please excuse me."
Gao Mengnan straightened up and winked at Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan immediately glanced at the tall man in military uniform who was still kneeling next to him, stepped forward to help him up, and said at the same time: "Mr. Pu Shi, please get up quickly. Such a great gift."
Wouldn’t it be a disgrace to this junior? Before this junior leaves, my father and my dear family have told me to ask you for advice more humbly."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gao Jue never took a nickname, Pu Shi was his name, and was given by Gao Pingshi, so Gao Yuan called him "Pu Shi Gong".
"I don't dare to use the word 'asking for advice' as the young master. From now on, whenever the young master asks for advice, I will tell you everything I know." Gao Jue did not deliberately refuse to get up. Gao Yuan personally helped him, and he got up accordingly.
Yes, but he always maintained a sense of humility in his words and refused to cross the identity gap between the servant and the young master.
Gao Yuan believed what Gao Yuan said, "My father and my family have all told me to ask you for advice humbly." Gao Jue believed it, but it was okay for the head of the family and his mistress to say so, but if he really took this sentence as a banner
, and from then on he pointed fingers at Gao Yuan, which meant that he was out of his mind.
He still bowed slightly humbly and said: "Thanks to the master, my wife values me. Although the young man is stupid, he may be stupid. If it can benefit the young master, it will be a small blessing."
It is enough to say this. After all, there are many people here who need to meet the eldest young master Gao Yuan. Therefore, Gao Mengnan took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Although the eldest young master was born in Dingnan, he returned to Beijing when he was young.
Thanks to the master of the family, many people here in southern Xinjiang may not be familiar with them, so why not let me introduce them to the young master one by one."
Gao Yuan immediately said: "What uncle said is absolutely true, so there is Uncle Lao."
Gao Mengnan smiled and said: "Why do you call it labor when you have to do your job?" Then he stretched out his hand to point to a scribe behind him with a pale face... even some handsome ones, and said with a smile: "This person, speaking of which, both your parents are close friends.
: Deputy envoy Xuanwei of the Xuanwei Department of Jiugang, and Cen Gong, the garrison envoy of Aceh."
Cen Ling was one of the few people who could stand up to Gao Yuan despite not being a member of the Gao family.
"Ah, it turns out to be Uncle Cen!" Gao Yuan showed a delighted smile and said, "Jia Yan admires you very much, and Jia Ci often talks about his friendship with you when we were in Guangxi and Annan in the past. I can see you today.
My nephew is really full of joy."
Having said that, Gao Yuan looked at the "Uncle Cen" in front of him very carefully, and at the same time he was amazed: this Uncle Cen indeed looked somewhat like a boy and a girl. His father said that when he first met him, he even suspected that he was a girl.
Dressing up as a man seems to make sense now. However, how on earth did such a person get the name "King of Hell"?
Gao Yuan was puzzled. It seemed difficult to imagine that a person with the image of Cen Ling could actually be an executioner with bloody hands. In his opinion, Cen Ling's image was more like a scholar than his father, Gao Pragmatic, who was the top scholar in the six poems.
Cen Ling, who was too handsome to look like a middle-aged man at all, smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is a genius with extraordinary talents in both civil and military affairs. He cannot surpass a martial artist. How dare you praise him? As for your Majesty, she and Ling have similar backgrounds. It is true that
I have some old friends.
But speaking of it, this old friendship was mostly due to my father-in-law, and looking back on it now, it really makes me smile."
Although Gao Yuan had heard some stories, they were often incomplete. He was inevitably a little bit inquisitive when he heard the words. Unfortunately, now was definitely not the time, so he had to say: "Is this so? My nephew used to hear his mother talk about old things in Guangxi, and he would always be curious.
I only heard a few words, and many things were incoherent, which is a pity. I don’t know how long Uncle Cen plans to stay in Dingnan this time. If time permits, my nephew would like to hear Uncle Cen’s detailed heroic stories of those years.”
Cen Ling waved his hands and said with a smile: "How can I have any heroic stories? If you want to talk about heroic stories, the young master should ask your father-in-law. Your father-in-law served in Guangxi back then. In fact, it didn't take long to talk about it, but he served for ten terms.
There are many big things that even the patrolmen can't accomplish, and that's the real hero."
As Gao Mengnan introduced them one by one, Gao Yuan also chatted with them one by one. At this time, it became clear that Gao Yuan had to take a lot of southern Xinjiang archives and study them carefully before setting off south. Most of them had the opportunity
Gao Yuan basically remembers the "personal information" of people who have spoken to him alone.
Therefore, Gao Yuan can always communicate with others based on their strengths and past experiences, which quickly closes the psychological distance between him and them, and soon makes most people have a positive attitude towards this young master.
