Chapter 163 Garrison Dengzhou (Fourth Shift, 300 Monthly Tickets Plus Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )


His Majesty the Emperor restored Denglai Town, and the military configuration of the Shandong Chief Secretary also changed accordingly.

The Xuanwu Battalion where Liu Sanshui was located was transferred to Dengzhou for garrison.

This made Liu Sanshui very happy.

He was born in Libao.

He used to work on the docks of Nanjing City all year round, and he was very familiar with boats.

Dengzhou and Laizhou are adjacent to the sea, and His Majesty the Emperor wants to rebuild the navy again.

Naturally, the military is good at water, and those who can sail can easily get the opportunity to excel.

Most of the soldiers in the Xuanwu Camp were locals from Nanjing, but not many were good at water, and even fewer were able to drive a boat.

Liu Sanshui happened to be good at both of these things.

In his opinion, Xuanwu Battalion's transfer to Dengzhou for garrison was an excellent opportunity for him to rise rapidly.

The only thing Liu Sanshui felt a little reluctant to part with was the art team.

These literary and artistic soldiers have to stay in Jinan Prefecture to perform and cannot follow them to Dengzhou.

As a result, it is impossible for Liu Sanshui to see such a wonderful performance in a short period of time.

However, Liu Sanshui had nothing to complain about.

Since joining the Shence Army, he has eaten well, drank well, and lived a fulfilling life.

If it weren't for Shencejun, I'm afraid he would still be unloading goods at the Nanjing pier.

It is said that the Yongwu Camp stationed in Jining Prefecture was also transferred to Dengzhou.

Although Yongwu Camp was not the first four battalions established by the Shence Army, it became famous because of Jining Prefecture's victory over Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's rebels.

But that is not what Liu Sanshui is concerned about.

What he is concerned about is that he can finally be reunited with his big brother Wang Fugui.

Wang Fugui was the first person Liu Sanshui met after joining the Shence Army.

Perhaps because of the large age difference between the two, Wang Fugui has always treated Liu Sanshui as his biological brother and took care of him in everything.

Liu Sanshui was also very competitive, and gradually won the appreciation of his superiors through hard training.

Unfortunately, Wang Fugui was later seconded to the Yongwu Camp to train new recruits, and he was gone for several months.

Liu Sanshui once thought that it would be a year or two before he saw Wang Fugui again.

Now, Yongwu Camp has also been transferred to Dengzhou.

Even if Wang Fugui cannot return to Xuanwu Camp for a while, the two of them can get together.

As for the other popular Tianqi camp, it was transferred to Laizhou.

It is said that Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's tens of thousands of troops were completely wiped out by the three thousand fine cavalry from Tianqi Camp.

It was really terrifying.

However, Tianqi Camp is a cavalry battalion, and in Liu Sanshui's opinion, its subsequent role in Denglai will not be greater than that of Xuanwu Camp.

Xuanwu Battalion has always maintained a relatively fast marching speed.

This is not because of insufficient food and fodder, but because the battalion commander intends to train the soldiers' ability to march quickly.

In this way, when they actually need to march urgently, the soldiers can increase their speed.

Although Liu Sanshui is familiar with water, he has never seen the sea before, so he is looking forward to this trip to Denglai.

It must be much more refreshing to roll over the waves in the sea than in the river.

He was eager to find out.

As soon as the news that the Holy Emperor restored Denglai Town reached Dengzhou, Yuan Weitai, the prefect of Dengzhou, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the south.

The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise Yuan Weitai dreamed of seeing the imperial court reestablish Denglai Town, but he never expected that it would actually come true.

From the Di newspaper, Yuan Weitai learned that the upcoming governor of Denglai was Zhang Kentang, the current governor of Fujian.

At this moment, the imperial edict has probably arrived in Fujian, and Governor Zhang is probably on his way.

There is no doubt that Governor Denglai will be stationed in Dengzhou City.

Yuan Weitai didn't feel uncomfortable about this.

Although there is one more boss to serve carefully, it also means one more possibility of promotion.

This time, the news that Yuan Weitai led Xiangyong to defend Dengzhou and resist the rebel siege had reached Nanjing, and the Emperor praised him greatly.

Jane is in the emperor's heart and is more important than any reward.

Because this means that Yuan Weitai has been ranked in the heart of the Holy Emperor.

Although Yuan Weitai was not directly promoted to governor of Denglai, as long as Governor Zhang is transferred elsewhere in the future, there is basically no suspense for Yuan Weitai to be promoted as a candidate.

Just endure it, if you endure it for another two or three years, it’s time to get through it.

What makes Yuan Weitai even more delighted is that the latest batch of Fuzhou and Guangzhou ships built by the imperial court have sailed from the Yangtze River Estuary to Dengzhou.

Driving these ships were French sailors specially hired by the imperial court, Dutch sailors, and some fishermen along the coast of South Zhili.

Dengzhou is now in dire straits, so rebuilding the Navy will naturally have to start from scratch.

With these Thai and Spanish sailors acting as instructors, the time spent will be greatly reduced.

Yuan Weitai estimated that these ships would arrive in Dengzhou in six or seven days at most.

He ordered people to immediately start cleaning up Dengzhou Water City to ensure that the water gate to the sea could be opened smoothly.

Dozens of ships, that's dozens of large sea ships.

All of them were stationed in Dengzhou Water City at once, but it was a big test.

As for Governor Zhang, since Yuan Weitai did not know whether the old man would take the sea route or the land route, it was difficult to estimate his arrival time.

If you go by sea, it will take up to ten days.

If we go by land, I'm afraid we'll be delayed for a month.

Yuan Weitai naturally made preparations according to Governor Zhang's plan to take the sea route.

He ordered people to renovate the dilapidated and idle governor's Yamen.

Bricks were added where needed, tiles were added where needed, the screen wall in front of the Yamen was repainted, and the weeds in the courtyard were pulled out one by one. .

After all this was done, Yuan Weitai was still uneasy and inspected the work personally.

You don’t know this by looking at it, but you’ll be shocked when you see it.

Yuan Weitai discovered that some tables and chairs in the Yamen had cracked and could no longer be used.

This group of craftsmen and government officials only pay attention to the appearance of their work, but they don't know that the inside is rotten.

It's really annoying.

Yuan Weitai quickly ordered people to buy high-quality official hat chairs, armchairs, imperial chairs, and square writing desks.

This money was expensive.

Yuan Weitai originally wanted to appropriate it from the treasury, but after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and paid for it out of his own pocket.

Now that he has a bright future, he doesn't dare to neglect such a small thing, which will eventually lead to a big mistake.

Today's world will never condone corruption.

Take a look at the officials in Nanjing whose homes were ransacked.

None of them had their families destroyed.

With so many bloody examples ahead of him, Yuan Weitai did not want to follow in their footsteps.

Fortunately, his family background is very good.

Even if he doesn't take money from the treasury, he can still get this money.

But no matter what, the governor's office must be completely renovated, and tables, chairs and other supporting equipment must also be replaced.

Logically speaking, this money should not come from Yuan Weitai, but if Yuan Weitai did not renovate the governor's office before Governor Zhang took office, Governor Zhang would definitely find an opportunity to teach Yuan Weitai a lesson to show his shame.

This has nothing to do with personal character, but with officialdom.

Officials value face more than anything else.

Yuan Weitai didn't dare to bet that Governor Zhang was Hai Rui, but for anyone who eats the fireworks of the world, this habit is unavoidable
