Liu Ziguang greeted Dai Yi as soon as he got off the boat, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "I'm fine, Grandpa Dai. I'm seeing you in the capital. You've gained weight again."
Dai Yi smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hou. Our family is fortunate to be able to come to Qingdao to serve as a supervisor under Mr. Hou. It is really a blessing cultivated in the previous life."
Liu Ziguang is much higher than Dai Yi in terms of title and official position, but Dai Yi now has an imperial edict and is regarded as an angel. Naturally, he has to be treated politely. The rain just now was white. He is holding the imperial edict and the monk Fang Baojian.
Well, why don't you come down rashly and let the imperial edict get wet?
Let’s not talk about these gossips. The air is fresh and the sky is clear at Qingdao Pier after the rain. A rainbow hangs in the sky. At the end of the long trestle, there is a three-story pavilion with raised ridges and eaves. The incense table to welcome the imperial edict is placed.
Here, Dai Yi stood behind the incense table with enough momentum, shook out the yellow satin scroll, and read with great energy: "Zhenwu Hou Liu Ziguang receives the order."
Liu Ziguang and several generals knelt down in front of the incense table and listened respectfully to Dai Yi's announcement.
"According to Heaven's destiny, the emperor ordered that Liu Ziguang, the Marquis of Zhenwu, and his generals go deep into the enemy's nest...for their hard work and merit, they will be rewarded with a jade belt. All matters related to Beiyang will be temporarily handed over to the Navy Admiral Li Yan to take charge, and he will return to Beijing immediately for other tasks. Qin
This." Dai Yi finished reading the imperial edict, handed the scroll to Liu Ziguang with a smile, and motioned to a young eunuch behind him to deliver a jade belt on a red lacquer plate.
Liu Ziguang received the imperial edict and the rewards, handed them to the soldiers to hold, and cordially greeted Dai Yi to walk across the trestle with him, inspected the troops, and introduced him to the generals of the navy. Dai Yi accepted it very reservedly.
Seeing the generals, their self-esteem was greatly satisfied, and they seemed to have become as successful as the former Sanbao eunuchs. When the heroes of the Tiandihui were introduced, the rough men did not give Dai Yi face, and they all looked coldly.
He passed by casually. Among the people, the reputation of eunuchs is very bad, especially the eunuchs who serve as supervisors. They are the bad guys among the bad guys. In addition, they just got caught in a heavy rain for no reason. Naturally, these honest guys will not be able to do it.
The happiness showed on their faces. They didn't give Dai Yi any face, and Dai Yi didn't give them any face. He deliberately stopped and asked Liu Ziguang: "Master Hou, who are these?"
"These heroes are the third-grade hall masters and fourth-grade incense masters of the Tiandihui..." Liu Ziguang introduced with a smile.
"Oh" Dai Yi made a contemptuous note from his nose, glanced at these heroes wearing nondescript official uniforms from the corner of his eyes, said nothing, and continued to move forward.
The heroes were immediately furious, but because the grand occasion did not allow Marshal Liu to collapse, they did not explode in public. However, everyone hated Dai Yi extremely, so the feud was settled.
A banquet was held in Guihe Building that night. On the one hand, it was to welcome the arrival of the supervisor, and on the other hand, it was to send off the Marquis back to Beijing with great honor. Qingdao Guihe Building is the semicolon of Jinan Guihe Building, and it is also Liu Ziguang's property.
The delicious Shandong cuisine was passed around, and boxes of Tsingtao beer, cola, and various liquors were available for everyone to take. Dai Yi sat in the top seat and accepted the toasts from the generals. No matter who toasted him,
It was just a taste of things, and he had a leadership demeanor. The generals also toasted Dai Yi because of Liu Ziguang's face. When they sat back in their seats, they all cursed in their hearts: What the hell.
Thirty Dongchang fans brought by Dai Yi were sitting on another floor. It happened that the heroes of the Tiandi Club were sitting with them. The two groups began to dislike each other when they sat down. After the banquet started,
Then they started to find trouble with each other, and they finally started to fight. The soldiers also brought weapons to the banquet. They started fighting, cups and plates flew everywhere, and the weapons were not good enough. In addition, the heroes of the Tiandihui were holding back their weapons.
In a fit of anger, two fans were hacked to death in the fight. The military discipline team on duty arrived after hearing the news and arrested all the people involved. The Dongchang fans did not accept this trick. They considered themselves to be the supervisors of the army.
Subordinates, the Military Disciplinary Corps can't control them, so they are clamoring for the supervisor to administer justice. The Military Disciplinary Corps is a military police force established by Liu Ziguang. They are all soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, with red ropes hanging on their shoulders and water and fire in their hands.
They had sticks and short fire guns stuck in their waists. Ordinary soldiers would hide away when they saw them. Seeing that the Dongchang gangsters didn't understand, they immediately beat them with sticks. The gangsters were unconvinced and started a scuffle with the military discipline team.
The heroes of the Tiandihui were originally very cooperative and squatted down with their heads in their hands. Now that they saw the fighting started again, they rejoined the battle group and helped the military discipline team beat the fans. After a fierce battle, thirty Dongchang fans were on the spot.
Twelve died, and the remaining eighteen were also punished and sent to solitary confinement.
There was a lively fight over there, and there was a lot of drinking here. When Dai Yi heard the fight, he nervously asked to go and have a look. Liu Ziguang pulled him back and insisted on giving him a drinking order. He refused to let him go until he finished drinking. After a lot of effort, it was over.
The battle over there was over, and the captain of the Military Disciplinary Corps came to report the situation, saying that there was a conflict between Lord Supervisor's guards and people from the Tiandihui, with only half of them killed or injured, and that both parties were now under control.
Dai Yi was shocked when he heard that thirty fans were his bodyguards and his only strength. Without these people, he would not even have anyone to follow him when he went out. What kind of supervisor could a polished commander be? So he immediately demanded military discipline.
The team released the man, but the military discipline captain did not spare him. Dai Yi was so angry that he immediately drew Shang Fang's sword and killed him.
"Dai Jianjun, that's not how Shang Fang's sword is used. Your guards went crazy drinking and got into fights. The military discipline team arrested them in accordance with military law. You are holding a sword to kill people. What's the point? Even Shang Fang's sword must have it.
It's easier to find a concrete crime." Liu Ziguang said with a smile as before, but in Dai Yi's eyes, this smile was like hiding a knife in his smile.
You Liu Ziguang, you can turn our family into a polished commander that night, which makes our family still suffering. Dai Yi screamed in his heart, and the muscles on his face twitched. How can he carry out his work in the future?
Ah, the room was full of Liu Ziguang's people. Everyone looked at Dai Yi and the sword in his hand with disdain. Only then did Dai Yi realize that Qingdao should not have come...
Liu Ziguang is now very good at cultivating Qi. Dai Yi is a supervisor sent by the emperor. He cannot be killed casually or neglected. He can only cut off his wings and minimize his harm. After all, he is on his own territory.
, Dai Yi is saying that Tiantian should not respond, and that the earth and earth are not working. Even if he wants to secretly write a letter back to Nanjing, he will be inspected. Let him be supervised by this supervisor, and wait until he returns to the capital to have a good talk with the emperor.
We should strive to abolish this military supervision system.
After drinking and eating, Dai Yi was escorted by the orderlies Liu Ziguang arranged for him to stay in a high-end mansion. This is the so-called Supervisory Army Mansion. It is beautifully decorated and is illuminated by electric lamps. Of course, bugs are also indispensable.
They were all Liu Ziguang's people, and Dai Yi was effectively under house arrest.
After arranging these things, Liu Ziguang took a group of subordinates and returned to the capital by land. He happened to check out his properties in various places in Shandong along the way. The house in Baotu Spring, Jinan, had been built. He had never been there even once, so why not?
There are coal mines in Yanzhou, etc., which were purchased last year. I have never had the opportunity to inspect them. There is also the Liguo Iron Works, which is where Liu Ziguang made his fortune. It is also his important production and R&D base, and his hometown.
It should have a different meaning.
In Nanjing, in a small, elegant but magnificent house in the city, Wei Zhongxian was sitting opposite a middle-aged scribe with a sinister face. The scribe was dressed in coarse cloth, but his expression was extremely arrogant. He was facing the powerful Chief Superintendent of Ceremonies.
There was no humility or reverence at all, and Wei Zhongxian was not unhappy at all, but looked like he was asking for advice humbly.
"Mr. Sima, Qingdao is the territory of the Zhenwu Marquis. A needle cannot penetrate, and water cannot splash. Moreover, Dai Yi and him have a long-standing enmity. Isn't this sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
"That's right. If it weren't for the old enmity between Eunuch Dai and Liu Ziguang, I wouldn't recommend him to go. After Dai Yi's last internal money incident, although nothing serious happened, his foundation is no longer clean, so he sent him there
Even if Qingdao is a waste, if Liu Ziguang can't tolerate him and finds a reason to kill Dai Yi, it will be a good show. He respects his own troops and kills the supervisors without permission. Even if he didn't want to rebel, others will think so.
"
Mr. Sima said slowly.
"What if Liu Ziguang doesn't kill Dai Yi?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
"Dai Yi's abilities are limited and it is difficult for him to gain a foothold in Liu Ziguang's Beiyang Navy. However, in order to repay Eunuch Wei for his kindness, he will try his best to recruit, infiltrate, and even coerce and lure those generals to collect the so-called Liu Ziguang's troops.
Evidence of self-respect, this will anger the opponent and eventually lead to Dai Yi's murder. To say the least, even if Liu Ziguang tolerates it and does not kill Dai Yi, then we have to force him to kill him. In short, Dai Yi is an abandoned son, he must
die."
"Our family understands that this is called retreat in order to advance. If Dai Yi dies, his majesty will not trust him. This deal is worth it! Mr. Sima is really a genius. He is really a loyal and virtuous man to have him help him.
Blessings. If you have any requests, sir, please feel free to ask for them. As long as we can do it, our family will definitely not grudge you." Wei Zhongxian said sincerely. He is young and has a deep scheming mind. He knows that relying on his own intelligence alone is far from enough.
, must recruit various professionals to enrich his staff team in order to compete with Liu Ziguang and the Donglin Party. This gentleman named Sima was the first counselor he recruited.
"No, I'm just a mad scholar. Donglin Academy won't accept me. I'm not a good candidate for examination. The whole world ignores me. Only you, Eunuch Wei, know the real gold. My father-in-law treats me as a national scholar. I will repay you as a national scholar."
