Chapter 945 The maid

After obtaining grain and food supplies from Huilai County, the troops in Chenxi seemed to have become grain transport teams. The officers and soldiers, as well as the carriages and coachmen who transported grain and food supplies, stretched for several miles. The speed of the march from Huilai County to Haimen Station slowed down. It was originally possible to arrive in about a day, but it turned out to walk for two days.

On March 18th, the group finally arrived at Haimen Station.

Originally, Chen Xi planned to take a trip to Chaoyang County to collect "protection fees", but due to the delay on the road and the supplies provided by Huilai County were very abundant, he gave up the idea of ​​going to Chaoyang County.

Haimen Station is not far from Jinghai Station, both of them are Qianhu Stations close to Nan'ao Island, and are affiliated to Chaozhou Guard Commander.

When Chenxi arrived at the Qianhu Station of Haimen, he saw flags flying near Haimen Port at the entrance of Lianjiang River from afar. Ma Jiu came to greet him. Chenxi got off the carriage and asked, and only then did he know that the fleet had arrived three days ago. This shows that Chenxi was walking quite fast along the way and did not delay much time.

Before Chen Xi could inspect the camp, Xu Yang, a thousand households in Haimen Station, had already brought people out to greet him.

Chen Xi was about to inquire about the situation of pirates and Japanese pirates from Nan'ao Island and the surrounding areas, so after meeting Xu Yang and having a little greeting, he invited him to join him in the central army tent at the port to discuss.

Under the leadership of Ma Jiu, the group entered the tent.

Chen Xi waved his way back and came to see the deputy Qianhu, Baihu and General Banner, who were visiting him, sat down at the table. Xu Yang took out the booklet from his arms and said respectfully:

"Governor Chen, this is the "Peng Bandits" of the Haimen Institute in recent years, which records the situation of bandits around the Haimen Institute and the piracy on the Nan'ao Island. Please take a look."

Xu Yang was in his thirties. Although he was a military general, he had a bit of elegance. His way of doing things was very sleek and sophisticated. He came up and showed Chen Xi "Ping Bandits" which was suspected of seeking credit.

Xu Yang used the method of civil servants and bosses to invite favor... After meeting Shangguan, he first submitted the county annals or letters of the people from the local government in recent years to tell Shangguan how great his achievements were when governing the local government.

Compared with the local garrisons who did not cooperate when Chenxi went to war in the war years ago, Guangdong coastal garrisons are now welcome to Chenxi. These people are similar to Guangdong commander Li Che, and they all want to obtain political capital for military achievements and promotion from Chenxi.

It is said that it is to cater to Chen Xi, but in fact it is to use the status of Chen Xi as a Hanlin official and an imperial envoy to express his merits to the court.

Chen Xi looked through the "Peng Bandits" submitted by Xu Yang. What disappointed him was that the book lists the military merits of the people and others in the Haimen Institute in detail, but only briefly mentioned the specific situation of Nan'ao Island. Chen Xi even suspected that the Haimen Institute had never been to Nan'ao Island at all, so that the specific geographical and hydrological conditions on the island were vague.

Chen Xidao: "I am ordered to come to quell the bandits and know myself and enemy. If Xu Qianhu has some understanding of the situation in Nan'ao Mountain, please go back and reorganize it and send it tomorrow."

Although they used each other, Chen Xi remained appropriately unkind and looked up, otherwise Xu Yang would have thought he was here to give me credit.

Just like Chen Xi's attitude towards the coastal prefectures and counties, your garrisons must make contributions if they want to make military achievements. They do not expect you to send troops to support you, because I have no money, food and materials to provide you with you, but at least provide me with some accurate information.

If nothing can be provided, then sorry, the credit is only reserved for those who are prepared. If you want to wait for the military merit to fall on your head, please do whatever you want. Perhaps one day the strong wind will bring credit.

Xu Yang did not expect that Chen Xi was so unreasonable, so he gave him a warning when he came up. He prepared this "Ping Bandits" and forgot to eat and sleep, but after Chen Xi took it, he just read it quickly and put it aside, which made him feel extremely unhappy. However, the status of the Qianhu households of his garrison was far from that of Chen Xi, and he didn't even have the qualification to question it. He could only go back obediently and rewrite the situation of Nan'ao Island according to Chen Xi's request.

The water and land army is still under rectification. Chen Xi has left the central army tent and inspected the camp. The two thousand soldiers and almost the same number of civilians are setting up camp around the old camp.

After walking a short distance, I heard a man whistling: "Don't move, I can leave by myself, please ask Governor Chen to come to see me!"

It's Jiang Liwei.

Jiang Liwei learned that Chen Xi started a massacre in Huizhou Prefecture City, and became much more honest. He mainly knew that he was guilty, for fear that Chen Xi would find an opportunity to get rid of him, or report his guilt to the court, which would make his future bleak. However, when he found that Chen Xi took him as a prisoner and went to fight the bandits, he felt that Chen Xi wanted to "kill people with a knife."

Jiang Liwei thought to herself: "The man surnamed Chen has long been determined to kill me. After all, I was embarrassed by him before, but he did not dare to take action openly, for fear that he would not be able to explain to the court, so he wanted to use the pirates and Japanese pirates to get rid of me. In this way, he had nothing to do with him. When he reported to the court, he said that I was "heroic and dead" in assisting the bandits. Then wouldn't I betrayed?"

This idea seems reasonable, but it ignores a fundamental problem. He has shackles on his body, and Chen Xi cannot bring a person to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Even if he is asked to die, he has to put him in front of the battle against the bandits and choose to withdraw his troops.

Chen Xi would never spend so much effort to vent his anger by killing him. After all, there is a risk of failure to withdraw troops in front of the formation.

In Chen Xi's words, Jiang Liwei treats yourself too much as a dish. I want to kill you and kill you, why bother so much? What's so good to explain? You have a benefit from a prefect who has a connection with a bandit. I say you are a member of the party, and you can't argue!

The reason why I don’t kill you is entirely due to the love I have in the past, but I won’t let you go easily, so that you can suffer a little, and know how terrible the consequences of offending me will be!

Chen Xi saw Jiang Liwei shouting, turned a blind eye and continued patrolling the camp.

Jing Yue happened to run into this scene and went to Chen Xi and said resentfully: "Sir, this Jiang surname is too domineering. Will you let the brothers deal with him well?"

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled, "Old Jing, you know he is bluffing, why should you pay attention to him? This will make him even more arrogant."

Jing Yue thought about it and suddenly felt that he was too different from Chen Xi in terms of temperament. He thought that this was the same as a dog biting someone but someone couldn't bite him back, so he nodded immediately: "It's still a big adult who has a wide breasts, so he will feel inferior to himself."

Chen Xi smiled and waved his hand, continuing to patrol the military camp.

When Yu Niang saw Chen Xi, she came forward. This time she did not plead for Jiang Liwei, but saluted and said goodbye to Chen Xi: "Mr. Shen, I have been away from Beijing for a long time, and I have to go back to explain some family matters, and I can't accompany you with the army anymore."

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is the Yu family leaving?"

Yu Niang nodded slightly: "That's true. Lord Shen, I have a heartless request... I have two unhappy servants. They are diligent in their daily lives and considerate in taking care of Lord Shen's daily life. Lord Shen accepts them, or sends them back to Beijing to send them back to me, and Lord Shen will decide."

Chen Xi didn't know how many times Yu Niang gave Xier and Yunliu to him in front of her. At this time, Xier was staring at him with shame, while Yunliu's face was red and lowered her head.

They were said to be servants, but Jing Yue and other personal guards knew that these two were women. After all, they had seen Yun Liu and Xier in women's clothing with their own eyes.

Women in the Jiaofangsi can dress up. Xier and Yunliu are originally beautiful women. They have received strict etiquette training since childhood. Not to mention literacy, they also have talent. In the eyes of a rough person like Jing Yue, Xier and Yunliu are simply fairies from heaven who descend to earth, and they cannot reach their identities.

Chen Xidao: "Thank you for your kindness to Yu, so I will leave her and the other two. When I return to the capital tomorrow, I will send them back to my house in person!"

Xier was a little annoyed when she heard this. She said it as if she and Yunliu were goods. She was first given to Chen Xi by Yu Niang. Chen Xi played with her for a few days before returning it to Yu Niang. She was about to say something, but Yunliu pulled her sleeves and could only keep silent in depression.

Yu Niang asked, "I wonder if Lord Shen has any letters to bring them back to the capital?"

This is to let Chen Xi leave some words as an "explanation" to Liu Daxia, Ma Wensheng and others. Chen Xi does not know who these letters will eventually fall into the hands of people. Yu Niang said that he was obeying Liu Daxia, but Liu Daxia knew Yu Niang only in Tingzhou Prefecture. Before, Yu Niang had been a detailed work placed by the factory guards in the place, and there should be another boss and leader behind it.

"No."
