marquis of jingan

Chapter 676

The next day, Shen Yi left Fuzhou on horseback and rushed to Langqi Town.

This time I went to Langqi, first of all, to see how the Fuzhou Guard was doing, and secondly, I needed to explain some things to Liu Mingyuan, who was in charge of the Fuzhou Guard.

Because it was riding a horse, Shen Yi set off in the morning and arrived at Wei Daying in Fuzhou on Langqi Island in the afternoon.

At this time, the Fuzhou Wei Daying Camp has been surrounded by Fuzhou Wei, but it has not had time to build walls.

As for the inside of the big camp, most of them are tents now, and there is no time to build a house.

Because Shen Yi allocated a lot of money to Fuzhou Wei, the construction of Fuzhou Wei Daying has started now, and some craftsmen inside the camp have built green bricks and built walls inside the camp.

Shen Yi came this time without prior notice, so he waited until he drove to the gate of Fuzhou Wei Daying. Liu Mingyuan, who was in charge of Fuzhou Wei's thousands of households, hurriedly led a few hundred households out of the camp to greet him. After seeing Shen Yi, Liu Mingyuan bowed his head respectfully and said : "Subordinate Liu Mingyuan, pay homage to Duke Shen!"

Master Shen raised his hand, motioning for everyone to get up.

"You don't have to be too polite."

After everyone stood up straight, Shen Yi looked at Liu Mingyuan, smiled and said, "I haven't been to Langqi Town for a long time, Liu Qianhu will show me around?"

Liu Mingyuan nodded immediately, and led Shen Yi to visit the Fuzhou Wei Daying Camp under construction. After walking around, he said to Shen Yi: "Mr. Shen, whether the Fuzhou Wei Daying Camp is completed or not will not affect the brothers' practice. able to live in people."

Master Shen walked in front with his hands behind his back, looked around, and asked, "How many people are there in Fuzhou Wei now?"

"There are more than 400 people."

Shen Yi frowned slightly, and looked back at him: "So few?"

Liu Mingyuan quickly bowed his head and said, "Mr. Shen, there are a lot of applicants, but our selection criteria are relatively strict, and we have to follow the rules you set for trial training, so the progress is a little slower."

"According to the current progress, it is estimated that by May, Fuzhou Guard will be able to recruit 5000 people."

Master Shen pondered for a while, then found an open space in the camp and sat down. He looked at Liu Mingyuan, patted the open space beside him, and signaled Liu Mingyuan to sit down too.

Liu Qianhu hesitated for a moment, and carefully sat beside Shen Yi.

Master Shen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Liu Qianhu, I received news two days ago that a wave of Japanese pirates with about five or six hundred people fled to Zhangzhou. People go to Zhangzhou to quell the Japanese plague in Zhangzhou."

Liu Mingyuan immediately stood up, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Mr. Shen, my subordinates are going to gather troops and horses now!"

Shen Yi waved his hands helplessly.

"That's not what I mean, what I mean is that there aren't many Japanese pirates in Zhangzhou. The Fuzhou Guards can send a thousand troops out, um..."

"According to the practice of our anti-Japanese army, one veteran leads a new recruit."

Shen Yi said: "In this way, the training speed of Fuzhou Guards can be faster."

Liu Mingyuan still lowered his head and cupped his fists: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, the subordinates will make arrangements now."

"Ah."

Shen Yi nodded first, and then said: "After arriving in Zhangzhou, you can send someone to communicate with Xue Wei and the others. There is a high probability that this group of pirates in Zhangzhou met Xue Wei and the others in Guangdong, and then suffered. They were driven to Zhangzhou."

Zhangzhou Prefecture borders Guangdong Chaozhou Prefecture and is next to Guangdong.

Japanese pirates suddenly appeared in Zhangzhou at this time, so there is a high probability that they will be in Guangdong, and they will be driven over by Xue Wei and the others.

Liu Mingyuan lowered his head slightly when he heard the words: "It's not surprising. Just now, my subordinates were still thinking that last year, my subordinates had cleaned up the pirates in Fujian, so how could there be another pirate..."

These words were more or less yin and yang meaning Xue Wei. Master Shen was not angry when he heard it, but said lightly: "Last year when Fujian suppressed Japanese pirates, many Japanese pirates fled south to Guangdong. These pirates near the sea have always seen If the situation is not right, they will flee in all directions, there is nothing strange about it.”

Liu Qianhu lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, I don't have any other intentions..."

"Ah."

After Shen Yi nodded, he looked at the soldiers who were training in the distance, and continued: "Zhangzhou is in the south of Quanzhou. After you have dealt with the Japanese pirates in Zhangzhou, on the way back, you can go to Quanzhou Mansion to have a look. It is more appropriate to see where Quanzhou Wei should be built."

Shen Yi paused, and continued: "We are looking for a place like Langqi Island, which is suitable for building a port. Quanzhou Wei and Quanzhou Shipping Division will meet together in the future."

These two yamen are originally interdependent.

Take the Fuzhou Wei in Fuzhou as an example. The current Fuzhou Wei is building the Fuzhou Wei Daying on Langqi Island, and the Fuzhou Shipping Department will also be built in this place in the future.

After all, Langqi Island, which divides the mouth of the Minjiang River into two, is an excellent place to "collect taxes".

Liu Mingyuan bowed his head and cupped his fists again.

"Subordinates obey!"

"Even if there are not many Japanese pirates, don't be negligent. You take people to Zhangzhou yourself. When you are not in Zhangzhou, I will watch for you in the Wei Daying camp in Fuzhou."

Liu Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, it's enough to leave a few hundred households here. You have a lot of things to do, so you don't need to stay here."

Master Shen smiled and said, "I live here not only because of Fuzhou Wei, but also because of Fuzhou Shipping Department..."

"I don't need to say much about this matter, you go and get some people, don't bother with me."

Liu Mingyuan nodded, and after cupping his fists at Shen Yi, he turned and left.

Shen Yi sat alone in the open space and looked up at the sky.

It was getting dusk.

He didn't finish what he just said.

He came to Langqi Island not only because of Fuzhou Wei and Fuzhou Bosi, but also because he wanted to hide from Cheng Tingzhi for a few days.

Regarding the opinions on how to deal with the officialdom in Fujian, before departure, Shen Yi sent someone to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shaoqing.

If there is no accident, Yuan Tan will handle it accordingly, that is to say, the "special case operation" of the Sanfa Division in Fujian will stop at Fuzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture.

As for officials at the provincial level.

The people in the Sanfa Division will not move for the time being.

Of course, in order to let Cheng Tingzhi not be restrained by others, even if the chief officer of the third department does not send them to the capital, after a month or two, the imperial court will probably transfer them out of Fujian, so as to leave room for Cheng Tingzhi to do things. .

In this case, Cheng Tingzhi can still slowly take over the power of Fujian Chief Constitution.

Of course, since Cheng Futai and Zhou Yan and Zhou Fantai did not get along, he would definitely feel uncomfortable if the Sanfa Division dealt with it like this, and he would probably come to Shen Yi to talk about it at that time.

Master Shen had no way to help him with this matter, and the relationship between the two of them was not bad, so he simply ran to Langqi Island early to avoid this matter, and when he returned to Fuzhou from Langqi Island, the Sanfa Division Most of them are no longer in Fuzhou.

When the time comes, when Shen Yi goes back, Cheng Futai has nothing to say about him.

In this way, Shen Yi stayed for one night in Wei Daying, Fuzhou.

At noon the next day, he sent Liu Mingyuan and a thousand Fuzhou guards to leave Langqi Island and go south to Zhangzhou to suppress the Japanese.

And he himself stayed on Langqi Island, where he ate and lived with the soldiers of the Fuzhou Guard.

After living in Wei Daying, Fuzhou for two or three days, Master Shen welcomed his first guest on Langqi Island.

To be precise, it was the first group of guests.

There are four eunuchs in total, headed by Sun Jin, the eunuch in purple.

It took Shen Yi a long time to take these eunuchs around Langqi Island and Wei Daying in Fuzhou, then smiled at Sun Jin and said, "Grandpa Sun, this is the location of the Shibo Department I chose for you. "

"what do you think?"

Sun Jin lowered his head slightly and sighed.

"The place chosen by Prime Minister Shen is naturally excellent, but I don't know when the construction of this city's bureau will start?"

"It's fine in a few days."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "If it wasn't for the Yamen of the Shibo Department, I wouldn't have come all the way from Fuzhou City. In order to choose a location for the Shibo Department, Shen has already traveled three or four times on this Langqi Island. God."

Eunuch Sun was greatly moved, and bowed to Shen Yi again and again to salute: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for understanding me..."

"Eunuch Sun is polite."

Master Shen was full of smiles.

"Everyone is doing things for the court, it should be, it should be..."
