448. Chapter 448 Go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival
Whether this is a good or a bad thing, in short, after talking to Wang Yu that night, Qian Wubing got two very clear messages.
First, the huge profits brought by his fleet have attracted the covetment of many people, and they can even affect the present day. This made the money, who thought that with the care of Wang Yue and the ally of the Dai Royal Palace, could be safe and sounded awake. Some things, even if there were many preparations, were not something that you could control.
Second, the imperial decree came to Fujian soon, and this decree was most likely to be directed at him, and this decree was for money without illness! This also means that during this period, he could not take his fleet to Fusang, and the affairs of the Jinyiwei overseas Thousand Household Office had to be taken seriously. Who knows whether the decree would summon him to Beijing? He must make this plan. After he left here, the small foundation he created in Dongfan was able to continue to operate well.
However, there was not only one thing that was a headache in front of him. Although the Qin brothers' rebels had expressed their meaning, it was hard to say whether the other party had received it. This rebels were entrenched in the depths of the jungle. Even if they were forced to tease Tamsui City due to their strength, but if their strength increased one day, it would be a big problem after all!
The Portuguese squadron was broken into his own hands, and even their flagships have now become the naval army of the Thousand Houses of Overseas Houses. This matter must be handled properly. Qian Wubing would never want to wait until he has the chance to return to Danshui. What he saw was a miserable scene of being bombarded by the Portuguese Far East Fleet. One squadron had four gunships, and how many ships a Far East Fleet had, you can think of it. The other party, such as the Daming Port guarded by the navy and fortress, may be defeated, just like Guangzhou and Quanzhou. However, it is not difficult to deal with a young port city like Danshui.
According to Benson, the Far East Fleet returned to Europe last year. If the journey goes smoothly, they will return from Europe by the end of this year or the beginning of next spring. Although this matter is not an urgent matter, they cannot leave a mess for the subordinates of Tamsui City! If they have a fleet that has been used purely for combat, they will be guarding here, then this matter will not be so annoying!
Money! Money! Qian Wubing is really upset. When he thinks about the amount of silver that the fleet will cost, it is hard for him not to be upset! The Fujian Navy can guard Tamsui, but it is the navy of the court. So what if he is the Jinyiwei? Can he still use public instruments for personal use, take chicken feathers as command arrows, and allocate the imperial army everywhere to guard his house? Don't say whether the generals with military power pay attention to him or not, even if they pay attention.
He, the court did not give this military matter to an Embroidered Uniform Guard. If this is the case, wouldn’t the world be in chaos? You know, until now, he is just a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, not the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard! There was also a strange thing about the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard being beaten to death by a group of civil servants in the court! I really think that the one who commanded the world was the Embroidered Uniform Guard! Then the world is not the world of the Ming Dynasty!
Since that night, Wang Yu has not appeared in front of Qian Wubing. However, Qian Wubing still knows his whereabouts. This guy either walks in Tamsui City or on the road. It seems that obesity is beneficial, at least it is guaranteed to be energetic! However, thinking about him having the job of the head of the Ministry of War, Qian Wubing was relieved. If those old guys want to show kindness to him, they must take out some things and say, "When you say something red mouth and white teeth, they can't convince the public. As for finding something worth counting, it basically fell on Wang Yu's head.
In mid-July, the order from Beijing finally came to Dongban and Tamsui! When the imperial edict was announced, Qian Wubing thought it was probably a eunuch, but unexpectedly he saw a familiar face - Wang Zhiqiu! When he left Beijing, Wang Zhiqiu, who was in the Nanya Scholar's Room, was left. However, this time, the clothing of the Jinyiwei on his body also turned into the clothing of the Trial Household.
After reading the imperial edict in a good manner, Wang Zhiqiu and others only met Qian Wubing. At this time, Qian Wubing discovered that, except for Wang Zhiqiu whom he was familiar with, the Jinyiwei behind Wang Zhiqiu were all familiar people. To be precise, it was not an exaggeration to say that he had just entered the Nanya to recruit the children of the army and the direct line. He did not expect that all those who came to announce the imperial edict were his own subordinates.
The imperial edict is obscure, and I don’t know which one is a pen-like person who shows off his literary talent in front of Zhu Houzhao and catches him. However, the general meaning is that under Wang Zhiqiu’s explanation, Qian Wubing still understands it! It is probably "The emperor is polite to his subjects, but Qian Wubing has done it in Fujian for more than half a year. It is remarkable. As Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I will give you a grace. Go home to celebrate the festival! By the way, we reward you on merit and reward you, let’s feel what the great emperor’s grace is."
Of course, this imperial edict would definitely not be so civilized, but the meaning is that it is gone.
After Qian Wubing received the imperial edict, he felt guilty in his heart. After the imperial edict was delivered, the matter of his return to Beijing was a foregone conclusion. I remembered that he promised Zhu Wanjing to accompany her to wait for her child to be born, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do this. After instructing the Yan brothers to receive this group of old acquaintances from Beijing, Qian Wubing returned to his study and wrote a long letter to Zhu Wanjing. One was to explain the matter that he could not fulfill his promise to Zhu Wanjing. In the overseas Thousand Households, he explained it to her in detail. In Qian Wubing's arrangement, Olivia of the overseas Thousand Households was a thousand households, and Zhu Wanjing wanted to be a polite person. Both of them were his women, one was a literary and one was a martial artist, and he could feel at ease!
Of course, if possible, he hoped that after Zhu Wanjing went to Fusang this time, after the fleet returned to Tamsui, she would put her women and children in Nagasaki. Qian Wubing didn't think it was something worth reassuring. Li Renbing in Nagasaki could be rotated regularly, and overseas Thousand Houses could also send people to station. However, there is no need for those who have the idea to stay there all year round! It would be better to stay in their own place, which would make people feel more at ease.
After two days of complicated and messy things, Qian Wubing set off from Danshui. This time, he no longer passed through Fujian, but set out directly from Danshui, along the coast, traveled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shandong, and directly to Tianjin, then got off from Tianjin and returned to the capital.
The day he left was silent. Most of the residents in the city, without even knowing that their Xuanwei envoy had left Danshui, stood on the ship slowly leaving the dock, and looked at the young city bathed in the sun behind him, slowly getting smaller in his sight. Qian Wubing recalled the day he had stepped on this land, as if he was a different world. Perhaps, the things he did were insignificant. Perhaps, in the eyes of future generations, he was just a domineering Jinyiwei who held authority and immigrated to Dongfan just for his own selfish interests. However, no matter what, because of himself, Dongfan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt about this, even if it takes another three hundred years or five hundred years, this is unquestionable.
On the rugged sea, the rays of clouds were shining. Qian Wubing stood at the stern of the boat, with a flag waving on his head. The sunlight shone on the constantly fluttering flag, entangled with the ripples reflected on the water surface, turning the golden word "明" on the flag into extremely dazzling!
