Chapter 207

The governor entertained the victorious returning generals. Although they ate in the governor's Yamen, they invited the chef Penglai Xiange, the most famous local restaurant, to take the spoon. The whole team was also their people, which was no different from eating in the restaurant.

There are exquisite delicacies, delicacies and luxuries on the banquet. Many recipes have never been seen by Zheng Zhibao, a big man used to seeing the world, such as steamed leopard fetus, braised scarlet lips, fried sparrow tongue, etc. it can be said that this meal is really a ton of rice.

Zheng Zhibao thought that if he could invite the soldiers to eat all the money, it should be almost the same. It would be good if everyone had a celebration banquet with wine, meat and atmosphere.

But here, where can we have the atmosphere of the celebration banquet? First of all, the civil and military have been divided. The civil servants sit on the left and occupy the chief. What is the chief? That's because the side they sit on is one step higher than Zheng Zhibao's side.

Then, after the generals saluted together, the governor did not ask everyone to be exempted. Instead, he said a lot of nonsense about the magnanimous grace of the emperor, the blessing of the gods in all directions, the unity of the monarchs and ministers, and invincibility, and then let other civil servants speak.

It should be Zheng Zhibao. They are half kneeling here to listen to his nagging. After talking for a long time, they have to listen to other officials and start eating.

The whole celebration banquet was actually held for the generals and officials who celebrated the return of the victory, but here it became a stage for the officials to perform. They praised the governor for planning strategies and fighting thousands of miles.

Let you soldiers eat not as an invitation, but as a reward.

What's more, they did not toast the victorious generals. Instead, they toast emperor Chongzhen as far away as the Forbidden City in Beijing, the civil and military ministers in the court, and the soldiers who died in the war.

No one proposed a toast to these victorious generals.

Zheng Zhibao drank incomparably. He was so big that he had never drunk such a sad celebration banquet.

In particular, when the other party toasted the dead, many officials even shed tears. Some people wrote poems to express their sadness. They should be sad, but they cheered for their good poetry.

Zheng Zhibao wanted to tell the other party that no one died in our battle, but more than a dozen people were injured.

But seeing these self righteous officials, he decided to stop talking and let the other party play the monkey.

Originally, Zheng Zhibao came with an empty stomach. He also wanted to eat a good meal and reward himself, but in this situation, even in the face of delicacies, he was really hard to swallow.

Zheng Zhibao, as the commander of the navy fleet, couldn't drink any more, and his men couldn't drink any more. They had to wait awkwardly.

However, Chen YingYuan and Deng Bingwen have no exceptions, because they are used to the practice of valuing literature and valuing martial arts. Military attache Qiu Ba has no position in front of them. They should be respectful and respectful. Therefore, the credit for this battle should also be their civilian officials, so they drink here and sing poetry and harmony without anyone else.

It was Liu Yuanqiao who raised cups to Zheng Zhibao several times, which was regarded as remote respect, making everyone a little face.

Although Deng Bingwen was in front of Liu Yuanqiao, he seemed a little oppressed, but he floated after a few cups. He also deliberately asked, "Lord Liu, which subject are you a Jinshi?" he asked knowingly.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, people are noble in literature and humble in martial arts, and only those who have won the scholar's degree are called decent students. For example, Liu Yuanqiao, who was admitted to the Imperial College under the shadow, and then was born by the student supervisor, is a turbid current in the turbid current. He is deliberately finding fault.

In the officialdom culture of the Ming Dynasty, only being a Jinshi can be regarded as a right way and a good shot.

For them, this is a good man. This is the dragon and Phoenix among people. As for those generals who have high martial arts and fight against the enemy, they just think they are familiar with their hands, nothing special.

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "I'm ashamed! I didn't mention it, but I was a student of the Imperial College?"

Deng Bingwen said, "Lord Liu, you are a student of the Imperial College, but you are in charge of Laizhou Prefecture, two states and five counties. Will you be under special pressure?"

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "this is not true. At least my official is ten times better than Lord Deng. Lord Deng can't even do disaster relief. He is ashamed to read the book of sages."

Liu Yuanqiao was a strong man. He fought back without hesitation.

Deng Bingwen always felt good. After a few cups, he was even more elated. The other party fought back so ruthlessly and looked down on his Jinshi background. He was very angry. He said, "a shadow supervisor dares to be so arrogant. I don't know what the princes in the court think. There are no rules at the royal court's luncai ceremony."

There are very few people like him who are not scholars, but have become four grade civil servants. They are different in these ten years.

Zheng Zhibao's face sank, put down his glass and said, "Lord Deng, you've drunk too much."

Deng Bingwen said disapprovingly, "I don't drink too much. I don't know how much wine I can drink. But Lord Zheng, your ancestors have accumulated virtue. When pirates become officials, it's smoke from your ancestral tombs and protect your descendants. You should be loyal to the court and die for the emperor, so as not to waste the long grace of the court."

Zheng Zhibao doesn't like to hear this. The Zheng family was recruited. It's not that the imperial court treated them as dogs and rewarded them with a bone when they were in a good mood, but that they directly beat the officers and sailors along the coast of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong until they kneel down. The other party can't only recruit them. If they don't recruit them, the Zheng family can't be an official.

They are local giants. They are officials based on their strength, not like these civil servants. The imperial court rewarded him with a bone and wanted to kneel down to thank him.

And now they are washing their hands and ashore, washing their wealth. The other party is going to mention their old foundation and uncover their scars. Zheng Zhibao is a little angry. He said, "I'm eating and drinking here, but I don't know whether the soldiers have any food or not. I'm going to patrol the camp."

Zheng Zhibao said that he stood up and wanted to go out directly. He couldn't stand the villain's anger. Even Zheng Zhibao's generals followed him, leaving a group of civil servants staring here.

Deng Bingwen said to him, "governor, look at how domineering those soldiers are now?"

Chen YingYuan is a little difficult to ride a tiger. Zheng Zhibao is a tiger general. He wants to use each other, but he also feels that the bandit spirit of the other party is too heavy. It is only through training that he can use it. Deng Bingwen is willing to provoke him. These people are born recklessly, self righteous, and can only use it after polishing the edges and corners.

But now it seems that it's broken. He wants to order the other party to sit down with the majesty of the governor, but when he sees the other party walking directly and without looking back, he sees the other party shaking this prestige. There is no governor in his eyes, so he no longer speaks.

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "today was supposed to celebrate the return of the victorious sailors. Since the sailors are not here, I won't rub rice here." he then made a bow to the governor and left.

Deng Bingwen didn't know whether he really drank too much or falsely drank too much. He was still fanning the flames. He said, "one is more domineering than the other."

Chen YingYuan wanted to reprimand Deng Bingwen for a few words. You should not fan the Yin wind and light the ghost fire for fear that the world will not be chaotic. But when you think about what the other party said, there is nothing wrong. These officials are becoming more and more unruly.

Chen YingYuan made up his mind. In his compromise to the imperial court, he would write about this battle, but this battle was mainly achieved under the strategizing of his governor. As for these soldiers, there was no special performance. They only had today's victory because he was in the middle and the rulers of the Imperial court instructed them to be opportune, which can be regarded as a good look for these people.

Zheng Zhibao left the governor's Yamen. After standing at the door for a while, he saw that Liu Yuanqiao also came out. He said, "brother Qingyun, what a hero our brother is. Is it worth working for such a man?"?

Liu Yuanqiao said, "it's not worth it, but brother Yue Wen, you should understand that we work for ourselves, not for these people."

Zheng Zhibao said to him, "the governor is really too mean and ungrateful to us."

Liu Yuanqiao said, "brother Yue Wen, you can rest assured that we are not working for him. There have been war reports for brother and the reward will come down soon. You'd better go to the Shuishi stronghold gate to appease the brothers."

Zheng Zhibao said, "OK! Go right away."

Liu Bu, Zheng zining and others participated in the whole battle, but after the battle, they withdrew to Jiaozhou Bay. They didn't point to how much the governor would reward them, and more importantly, it was an old saying to preserve strength and low profile.

However, Liu Bu has seen Zheng zining's power. Originally, he thought Zheng zining could build a fleet, but in fact, it depends on his father's face. Now it seems that she has the ability to be an excellent commander and stand alone.

When she commanded her fleet to fight at sea, she was confident and wise. Everything was in his plan. When she commanded his fleet, her captains obeyed her orders one after another without any doubt and discount. Only when she faced a famous commander could she obey.

Zheng zining's fleet takes ships as the combat unit. There are about 200 sailors and soldiers in a main ship. Ten ships mean that they are close to more than 2000 people. These more than 2000 people are obedient to Zheng zining.

Liu Bu has seen Zheng zining and her captains hold several meetings. She and ten captains hold a meeting to formulate a battle plan, and then issue it to them to implement the order.

Her flagship is called Poseidon. Commander Shen Hai is equivalent to his adjutant and his flagship captain. If Zheng zining is not in, he will command the fleet. However, when Zheng zining is in, he has always been obedient.

Liu Bu saw Zheng zining's prestige. She arranged the task for the soldiers to carry out. Moreover, when she commanded his fleet, everyone showed great respect and fear for her. Every order was carried out without hesitation and doubt.
