The newly appointed Shandong Navy Supervisor Dai Yi was sitting on the speedboat bound for Qingdao. He was high-spirited and full of ambition. Next to him were several neat and tidy Dongchang fans with their arms akimbo, holding on to the hilts of their swords and holding their heads high, watching the rough waves.
The sea surface was motionless. Although it was summer, the wind on the sea was blowing coolly on his body. Dai Yi stood up from the big tiger-skin chair and walked slowly to the bow of the ship. The sea breeze immediately rolled up his black-faced and red-ground cloak, hunting him.
It makes a sound, showing a dashing and heroic appearance.
Dai Yi wore a python robe, which Eunuch Wei helped him to obtain. This time, the supervisor of the army represents the emperor, Eunuch Wei, and Dongchang. He must not lose his dignity. Thinking of Eunuch Wei, Dai Yi's heart
There was a warm current, this time the embezzlement of internal funds, thanks to Eunuch Wei's dealing with it, the danger was finally averted, and he was even promoted.
What happened was that after Dai Yi took charge of the inner treasury, he felt that a large amount of money and materials lying moldy in the warehouse was a huge waste of royal assets. Therefore, in line with the principle of making the best use of everything, Dai Yi instructed his nephew to use the treasury.
He stole the money and took it out to do business and lend money at high interest rates. He originally wanted to return the money after making profits, but he encountered Liu Ziguang who insisted on transferring it, and the trap was revealed. Fortunately, the case was closed as soon as the incident happened.
It was taken over by Dongchang. After Wei Eunuch's planning, he adopted the method of losing soldiers to protect the commander, and sacrificed Dai Yi's nephew. He said that Dai Yi had killed his relatives out of righteousness, and personally found out that it was his nephew who did it, and resolutely brought him to justice.
According to the law, the stolen treasury money was recovered in full, and the nephew committed suicide after signing the bond in Dongchang Prison. Even if the case was settled, it was reported to the emperor. Zhu Youxiao was also very satisfied and praised Dai Yi.
He was a man of great integrity and could be put to great use. Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to recommend him as the Navy Supervisor. There was no reason not to agree.
Since the rise of Nachang, the limelight has been strong. Originally, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Nachang were all detective agencies with similar responsibilities. However, Nachang's performance was too outstanding and overpowered the other two. Now Jinyiwei can only maintain it for a while.
In terms of public security in the capital, if you look into ordinary theft and corruption cases, you will basically be unable to intervene in high-level cases. The East Factory is even worse. Both the number and quality of its personnel cannot be compared with that of the South Factory. Under this situation
, Wei Zhongxian gave full play to his ability to adapt to changes, and by giving advice to Emperor Tianqi, he gradually transformed the East Factory into a supervisory agency. Instead of competing for jobs with the South Factory, he went to compete with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. There were many
Eunuchs were sent to serve as supervisors in imperial estates in various places, such as Jiangnan Weaving and China Merchants Bureau, and some were also sent to serve as supervisors in the army. Dai Yi was one of the few.
Sending eunuchs from the inner court to serve as military supervisors is a kind of promotion, especially those sent to the front lines in Shandong. It means that the credit will be put into your hands. Thinking of Wei Eunuch's kindness to him, Dai Yi was very grateful, but he
When I think that Qingdao is the territory of my old enemy Liu Ziguang, I feel chilly again.
"Here comes the sword." Dai Yi said, and the fans beside him quickly handed over the Shang Fang sword in his arms. Dai Yi drew out the three-foot green peak that was as bright as autumn water, and performed two moves in a decent manner. The fans
He quickly clapped his hands and applauded. Dai Yi was out of breath after playing for two times, but he still held the sword in his hand. Shang Fang's sword was his amulet. With the sword, Liu Ziguang and his gang of fierce subordinates did not dare to deal with him. In addition,
He also brought thirty Dongchang fans as bodyguards. After all, he didn't feel at ease if he didn't have any of his own around. These fans were all newly recruited and trained by Dongchang. They were highly skilled in martial arts and arrogant. At least they were not inferior to him in terms of momentum.
The Red Shirt Group, those bastards from the South Factory.
Before leaving, Eunuch Wei had a long talk with Dai Yi and gave him guidance on his future work. This supervisory army is mainly to supervise Li Yan's army. Liu Ziguang will definitely not live in Qingdao permanently, so Dai Yi can carry out his work with confidence.
The focus of the work is to collect evidence of Liu Ziguang's expansion of power, and if possible, recruit some officers from the Qingdao garrison to serve the East Factory.
The task is very difficult, Dai Yi sighed, but for Eunuch Wei, he has to go through it even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire.
The Qingdao side had received news of the impending arrival of the supervisory troops, and had arranged a welcome ceremony early on the pier. Twenty thousand-material warships sailed out of the bay to greet them, and escorted Dai Yi's boat slowly into Jiaozhou Bay. All the warships honk in unison.
The 72-gun salute from the air gun shocked Dai Yi and others, but they soon understood that it was a welcome ceremony, and then they became overjoyed.
Liu Ziguang personally led Qingdao civil and military officials to greet him on the trestle. Qingdao is a new city and a military city. There is no prefect yet. All administrative orders are issued from the Navy Yamen. Liu Ziguang is the master of this land.
, he came out to greet him in person, which showed how impressive this person was. The officials of the South Factory, the generals of the Red Shirt Regiment, the chief officers of various branches of the Navy, and the heroes of the Tiandihui all lined up in brand new official uniforms.
Two lines, waiting for the arrival of the supervisor.
On the pier, colorful flags were fluttering, gongs and drums were beating, and a large group of armored soldiers were waiting for the inspection by the supervisor. Seeing all this, Dai Yi felt happy. A good beginning is half the success. Today, Liu Ziguang made a grand display
Welcoming himself is equivalent to indirectly establishing his prestige. Dai Yi gently stroked Shang Fang's sword and said to himself: "Zhenwu Hou, are you giving face to our family, or are you giving face to Shang Fang's sword? I'm afraid you
You're probably afraid that I'll kill your subordinates with Shang Fang's sword, huh!
Although the supervisor is the nominal second-ranking figure in the army, at critical moments he can summon Shang Fang's sword to directly kill the chief officer and take over the command. This position is equivalent to a political commissar in the army of a communist country, or even higher.
Some, because he represents the supreme imperial power. No one can question the authority of the imperial power, and no one can be strong under Shang Fang's sword.
The clipper has docked at the pier, but Dai Yi is still reluctant to get off the ship. He is showing off his official power. He deliberately wants the people on the shore to wait for a while, so as to show the dignity and reserve of the supervisor. If the ship
As soon as we reached the shore, we jumped down anxiously. How could we convince the public in the future?
Dai Yi's general subordinates also stood on the bow of the boat arrogantly, dragging them like 25,800 people without even looking at the people below. They were all Shangguan from the capital and fans of Dongchang. Where could they be?
I will take these Shandong gangsters seriously.
The sky in June changes all the time. Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and clear. Suddenly, the wind blows violently, and a dark cloud rolls in with heavy rain. Big raindrops pound down, but the people who greet them on the shore remain motionless. Everyone is a soldier.
, no one dared to run around without orders. Only the heroes of the Tiandihui were afraid that the heavy rain would wet their newly made black gauze official uniforms. They wanted to run under the tree to take shelter from the rain, but they saw that no one else moved, so they were embarrassed.
Returned to the queue and continued to stand in the rain.
The drummers were still playing, and the honor guard stood upright. Liu Ziguang was originally sitting under the umbrella, but at this time he also ordered people to remove the big umbrella, and stood with his subordinates in the heavy rain. The rain instantly soaked his face.
Wearing a red python robe, water dripped from his chin, forming a line, but he stood like a javelin, motionless.
"Zhang Xiangzhu, who are we picking up? It's such a big deal that even the chief helmsman came in person." A hero from the Heaven and Earth Society whispered to the person next to him.
"Welcome to the Lord Supervisor. I heard he is a eunuch. He is so stupid that he left us out here to soak in the rain. We are really no good." Zhang Xiangzhu replied through gritted teeth.
"You're so arrogant. Didn't you see that the chief helmsman was soaked in the rain? Damn it, I'm going to get on the boat and catch him right now!" The hero was filled with indignation, but was grabbed by someone next to him: "Master Wang, you are not now
He is a red stick, but he is an official of the imperial court. He must pay attention to the influence and obey the arrangements of the chief rudder."
Not only the people of the Tiandihui were angry, everyone present was suppressing their anger. When they heard that a eunuch had come to serve as a supervisor, everyone was unhappy. It was Liu Ziguang who didn't want to hold this welcome ceremony. It was Liu Ziguang who forced everyone to come.
, now it’s good, he didn’t get off the boat for a long time, and he asked these thousands of people to stand on the pier in the heavy rain, waiting for him. It’s really annoying that people are more powerful than people. The commander-in-chief and Mr. Li Yan didn’t use umbrellas to protect themselves from the rain. Together with the brothers,
That dead eunuch dared to hide in the cabin in the rain. Who can believe in such a supervisor? Who can support him?
Liu Ziguang did this welcome ceremony deliberately. He knew that most eunuchs have a twisted psychology. Excessive inferiority leads to abnormal self-esteem. They most want to be respected by others. The more they praise him, the higher his tail will be raised, so he
After such a grand ceremony, Dai Yi's self-confidence exploded, and it would be easier to deal with him in the future. Dai Yi really gave him face and refused to get off the boat for a long time. Liu Ziguang's plan was 80% successful at once.
The heavy rain pushed the soldiers' resentment to the extreme. Everyone present must be scolding Dai Yi in their hearts. Liu Ziguang stood in the rain, smiling in his heart, "Dai Yi, I don't think you can do this."
Supervise the army.
The Dongchang fans on the ship stood under the awning, looking at the thousands of people standing upright on the dock. They murmured contemptuously: "These idiots don't even know how to take shelter when it rains. They must be crazy."
"Not only is there urine, I also see there is feces."
"Hahaha"
The young fans did not feel the anger on the shore, but the old and cunning Dai Yi felt something was wrong. It seemed inappropriate to do so, so he had better get off the boat quickly. But when he came to his senses, the rainstorm had ended, and the sky
It became clear almost instantly, and only the accumulation of water on the shore and the wet clothes of the welcoming crowd showed that there had been a heavy rain just now.
"Master Supervisor has arrived!" A Dongchang fan jumped ashore and shouted with a puffed-up chest. Then Dai Yi, wearing a python robe and holding Shang Fang's sword, emerged from the cabin. With the help of the fans,
