"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict saying: I am happy to hear the great victory in the East China Sea, completely annihilated the enemy Beiyang Navy, relieve the siege of the East China Sea, and calm the demonic atmosphere of the sea border. Shi Qing was properly tactical and well-organized in this battle. The generals and assistants below Chen Zhongwu dared to use their lives and lead the way; the soldiers of the three armies fought bravely to kill the enemy, and they all fought for the first place. Fujian Governor Chen Bowen had a good education, raised food and grass, and had strong support; Fujian Commander Su Sheng cooperated with Shi Qing to predict that the enemy could be the first, dared to divide the troops, defeat the strong with the weak, and exerted the power of our country, and the military power, which made the enemy frightened."

"You are brave and brave, why should I be stingy with rewards? I specially granted 200,000 taels of treasury in the navy and 12,000 taels of treasury in Fujian to reward the officers and soldiers participating in the war. Shi Lang's founding auxiliary Yunxuan Chengjing Haibo, Chen Zhongwu was given Tianyiwei Zhenhaibo, Shi Zhaolian was given Tianyiwei Pinghaibo, Shi Zhaoxu was given Tianyiwei Suihaibo, and the other meritorious soldiers were promoted to one level; Chen Bowen was given the title of Minister of Revenue, and the original position was retained; Su Sheng was given the title of Minister of War, and the original position was assigned to the office, and all the meritorious soldiers were promoted to one level. I am here!"

"Long live my emperor!"

The pedestrian Zhang Ke read out the imperial edict in a big ups and downs. Shi Lang, Chen Bowen and others all shouted long live and kowtowed to thank him.

After Shi Lang stood up, he enshrines the imperial edict in the hall, then congratulates each other with Chen Bowen and others, and ordered his personal soldiers to grant 300 taels of silver to Zhang Keda, making tea money.

It is said to be tea money, but it is actually just errand money.

After Zhang Keda told you all about the joy, he should have avoided it, but he did not leave, just sat in the hall to drink tea.

When Shi Lang met, he knew that he had other things.

The imperial edict just mentioned the reward, but did not make arrangements for their next military deployment. Zhang Keda refused to leave, probably because there were secret edicts on this aspect.

So, he calmly invited Chen Bowen and Su Sheng to the guest room to talk, and Chen Zhongwu and the generals stood on both sides to serve.

"Brother, the officer and Commander Su will be promoted to reward, thanks to Boye and the generals. If it weren't for the heroic killing of the enemy and the generals, they would eliminate the enemy in the shortest time. Let's not be rewarded with Commander Su, and he would not be beaten with the reward." Chen Bowen said sincerely.

Shi Lang was really not dissatisfied with Chen Bowen. He said that the identity of a relative of the foreign country is his character and ability is also first-class. Chen Bowen will definitely join the cabinet in the future. Now he has been given the title of "Senior Minister of the Ministry of Revenue", but it is only a matter of day or too early.

What's more, no matter which army wins a battle, can you win without the cooperation of the place?

So, after Chen Bowen said this, he understood that Chen Bowen was polite and he really didn't have to bear his favors.

"Mr. Chen, you're so polite. Shi dare not take it. It happened that what the imperial edict said is to raise food and grass, educate local governments, and logistics support. What Mr. Chen did are all necessary conditions for winning a battle. Without the support of Lord Chen, Qi would never be able to win a battle even if he had three heads and six arms." Shi Lang quickly replied modestly.

After saying that, he glanced at Su Sheng with a faint look.

Su Sheng cooperated well with Chen Bowen in Fujian. This time, when he came to Shi Lang's headquarters to receive the order, he also received Chen Bowen's guidance.

Seeing that he had said this, he quickly bowed his hand and gave him a big smiling face first.

"Brother, if you want to say that Lord Chen's credit is worthy, that's not said. The credit of the lower official is purely due to the light of the lower official. The so-called bald man follows the moon, and the lower official will benefit from it."

"Hahaha... Lord Su is polite. Lord Su dared to set up ambush with a small number of troops, defeating Liu Qingtai to death, and finally committing suicide at Ningde City, which shows that Lord Su is resourceful. However, I have something unknown, so I would like to ask Lord Su for advice." Shi Lang smiled twice without a smile and asked.

"Your Madam has been defeated. If you have any questions, please ask me. You must report them one by one." Su Sheng quickly stood up and bowed respectfully and replied.

"Well, the attitude is quite respectful." Shi Lang nodded secretly.

As for the attitude, he really can't say anything.

"Mr. Su, what I don't know is that you don't have much force, so why dare to divide the troops? Are you not afraid of letting Liu Qingtai eat it one by one? Of course, the actual combat effect is very good, but if Liu Qingtai is not fleeing, but fighting, wouldn't he put the ambush officers and soldiers in a dangerous place?" Shi Lang asked.

"Hehe, Master, you are asking. When this time was made, someone raised such questions. The lower official answered this way. First, the lower official had confidence in the emperor. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has carefully planned every time he fought, and never fought unprepared battles, nor did he fight unsure. Therefore, the lower official thought that since the emperor asked Jinghai Bo to go north, he must have a complete plan. He designated that he had dug a pit for Liu Qingtai and waited for him to jump."

"The second is to have confidence in the uncle. The lower officials knew that the emperor appreciated the uncle very much. When the uncle was in the Zheng family, the emperor asked the governor Wang to secretly investigate, and the intention of recruiting was very urgent. The lower officials thought that there were many capable people in the Zheng family at that time. Not to mention anything else, Zheng Chenggong, Liu Guoxuan, Feng Xifan, and Chen Yonghua, which one is not higher and more famous than the uncle? Why just want to recruit the uncle? That must be that the uncle has outstanding features. The uncle later easily defeated the Zheng family's father and son and forced him to go north and south, which fully demonstrated his outstanding features."

"So, the lower officials think that as long as Liu Qingtai faces the right side of the uncle, he will be defeated. Moreover, he will be beaten to death by the uncle, like a frightened bird. Such a team that is scared out of fear, let alone the lower officials, even if they have more than a dozen soldiers on the mountain, insert flags and shout loudly, they will probably be scared to death."

"So, it seems that the officials are taking risks, but they are actually very sure."

"There is another reason. The lower officials have confidence in the soldiers they train. For more than a year, the lower officials have relied on the training methods learned from the emperor from the imperial guards and took the elite soldiers route. Not only did they practice military skills diligently every day, but their ideological education work has not been lost. Although the soldiers under them cannot say that one should be ten, one should be three should not be a big deal."

"So, each ambush is set up for one thousand ambush, which is no different from three or five thousand soldiers. I dare not say anything else. If you only defend but not attack, tens of thousands of Tartars attack the hill guarded by my thousand soldiers, and it will be no problem to guard him for one or two hours. After one or two hours, will your troops arrive?"

"It is precisely because of the above three reasons that the officials dared to take risks. At that time, the officials told their subordinates: 'We can't let Uncle Shi be more beautiful than before. When he eats meat, we have to drink soup.' Hehe, Uncle, the officials originally wanted to drink soup, but who knew that they had bitten a piece of meat in their mouths. Uncle, you won't blame the officials, right?"
