Chapter 181: Everything is for you, He Lin, my good brother!

"Master, the second master has been waiting for you in the study for almost an hour." As soon as Heshen entered the door, he saw the old butler Liu Quan hurriedly greeting him and report the report.

"Why is he here again?" Heshen was slightly stunned and asked Liu Quan.

Liu Quan's fat face showed a hint of embarrassment. "I don't know. I just asked, but the second master just said nothing and said he was waiting for you to come back. But I could see that the second master seemed very unhappy."

Heshen already understood what was going on, and a faint helplessness rose on his face: "Forget it, I have been hiding for several times, and then hide. This kid really wants...you go down first, I will change my official robe and I will go to see him."

"Yes, I'll go and say it to the second master first." Liu Quan nodded and quickly walked through the corridor and walked behind.

"Second brother, why did you come here today if you have time?" Heshen stepped into the study and saw Helin standing in front of a hanging scroll in a daze. He couldn't help but smile gently with a slightly bent corner of his mouth.

"Didn't you say I'm sick? Since I'm sick, can't I come to see my brother?" He Lin said without looking back, but his words seemed hard, as if there was a lot of anger in his stomach.

Hearing this, Heshen smiled bitterly, then he stopped and walked to Helin, looking at the painting that Helin was watching, and said lightly: "This is the "Pine Wind of Ten Thousand Valleys" by Monk Juran of the Northern Song Dynasty. If you like it, take it."

"A gentleman does not take away what others love, just keep it yourself, brother. Besides, I am sick and depressed now, and I am really not suitable to enjoy this thing." He Lin said after finding a chair and sitting down.

"You! Alas... Helin, Helin, why can't you understand your efforts to be considerate and considerate as your brother?" Heshen was so angry that his eyes turned black, but he was helpless with this younger brother. Who told him to be just a younger brother, and he depended on each other for life. Naturally, the relationship between the two brothers was beyond words.

"Brother, why don't you understand me? The emperor ordered me to supervise the affairs of Ula, Taiwan Station in Qianzangdong, and raise food and money. But what did you do? I said that I was sick and bad, but the result was that. Now the emperor asked E Hui to go. You are fine. I have come to you several times and avoid me all day long. Can I, the younger brother, serve the court? "He Lin's voice was not loud, but Heshen was still very clear. He Lin was indeed angry, and he was very angry.

"Your ideal since childhood is to become a general, command thousands of troops, plan and make great achievements in the court, and be famous in history. I am right." Heshen looked at Helin's face that looked similar to him but seemed a little younger and tough, and for some reason, a hint of aging felt arise in his heart. He sat on the chair and after Helin spoke enough as if he was venting enough, Heshen said slowly, as if he was recalling.

He Lin picked up the tea and took a big mouthful. "That's right, for more than thirty years, my ambition has not changed. Brother, don't you know?"

"How can I not know? That's why I asked the Minister of War Liu E to supervise the affairs of Ula, the Taiwan Station of Edge East, and prepare for the transportation of grain and grass." Heshen looked at Helin in front of him, and the smile on his face became more and more real. "But that's just a fight for Fukangan. Your talent is not just about supervising civil affairs and raising grain. My good brother, aren't you willing to lead your own army, advance and make achievements?"

Hearing Heshen's words, Helin couldn't help but tremble all over and stared at Heshen with his eyes tightly. "Brother, what do you mean?" His fingers, which were originally holding the armrest of the chair, couldn't help but turn slightly white. Although he couldn't stand his elder brother Heshen's behavior as an official, he was his elder brother after all. At least, he had never deceived him in anything.

Seeing Helin's expression change, Heshen shook his head and smiled, "Do you know about Annan?"

"Of course I know this. Nan Ruan was fighting with the three Ruans of the West Mountain Dynasty. Nan Ruan now has a little upper hand, killing Ruan Wenlu and defeating Ruan Wenyue in a row. Now, he has the momentum to revive the Southern Dynasty with one move." He Lin answered directly without thinking.

"Do you know that today, the Grand Marshal Fu advised the emperor to attack Annan, and it was time to do so." Heshen's seemingly plain sentence dyed the strong fire in Helin's heart even more intense, and a burning feeling in his eyes also appeared. "Brother..."

"No need to say, you know why I made you pretend to be sick now." Heshen raised his hand and gently patted He Lin's hand beside him, which had already clenched into fists. "Isn't all this for you?"

"Liu Quan, you send this to the Yangcheng cigarette shop." Not long after Helin left, Heshen wrote a new handwritten letter to Liu Quan.

Liu Quanjiu followed Heshen brothers, and was also a little familiar with the text. Naturally, he understood the contents of the letter and couldn't help but say in confusion: "Master, you are..."

"In my life, Heshen, I have collected money and have not yet done anything, Liang Pengfei smashed He's nearly one million taels of silver. Not to mention this, even a navy general, I should do it for him. As long as he can help my Helin this time, as long as he can make him happy, he will naturally make him happy." Heshen looked arrogant and indeed had the dignity and arrogance of a superior, but his words did not look like a prime minister in charge of national affairs at all. He was like a fair businessman selling official positions, and he was extremely credible. Perhaps, if Heshen did not enter the officialdom and entered the shopping mall, he might have become a famous businessman.

Two days later, the envoy of Ruan Wenhui, the former King of Guangzhong, who was the emperor of the Xishan Dynasty, entered Beijing, intending to express his tribute to Qianlong, and asked him to be named King of Annan. The King of Annan, who lived in the capital, was covered in a cloak of men and tears of blood under the hall. Qianlong felt sorry for him and expelled Ruan Wenhui. He also issued an order to reprimand the Xishan Dynasty and decided to raise an army, and to use Helin, the commander of the Han army in the white flag, as general, to help King of Annan, Li Weiqi restore the country...

In addition to the appointment of He Lin as the general, Yong Bao as the counselor, and other officials, a small general was also involved, that is, Liang Pengfei, the governor of the Humen Town of Guangdong Navy, who transferred the elite navy troops in his headquarters to assist in the battle.

And there was another decree directly sent to Guangdong. After counting his honors, Liang Pengfei, the promotion of the guerrilla department, was promoted to the guerrilla department, and became the promotion of the lieutenant general. It really shocked the officials of Guangdong and Guangxi. You must know that promotion is a real position and the agency means acting, just like the Guangdong Governor Guo Shixun, who was acting as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Liang Pengfei has neither made any contributions nor accomplished any of them during this period, and has actually been promoted to another level. How can this not make people widen their eyes?

"Sir, General Liang's request... is it too much? In addition to the soldiers of the two battalions, all must be equipped with muskets, even their servants and patrol officers must be equipped with knives according to the standards of the soldiers." In the Admiral's Mansion, a deputy general next to Zhao Chenglin frowned, and in his hand, he was holding a document that had just been sent to the Admiral's Mansion.

"It's more than that. He hopes that the lord can add two more 18-pound cannons, five 12-pound cannons, ten eight-pound cannons, gunpowder, and shells... Did he think that the Guangdong Navy is the private territory of his old Liang family?" Next to him, a general also looked angry, but from time to time, he quietly swept the light from the corner of his eyes to the admiral Zhao Chenglin who was pondering and silently.

"Enough! I have a suggestion in my heart." Zhao Chenglin raised his head, glanced at the generals present, and said coldly. The generals who had just clamored all closed their mouths in a little disappointed manner. Most of these people were not Zhao Chenglin's direct subordinates. It was precisely because of this that he was particularly shameful that a small general was actually awarded by the emperor. He was even transferred to Na Helin's command to make achievements.

You should know that what is the fastest way to be an official in the court? Of course, it is military merit. After a battle, even a small fifth-grade guard may be promoted to the fourth-grade, or even the third-grade one due to military merit.

And don’t forget that this He Dashen is the younger brother of Emperor Qianlong and another celebrity in front of Emperor Fu, the Minister of Personnel Heshen, who was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.

Liang Pengfei was promoted from a mere fifth-rank garrison to four levels in less than a year because he was highly regarded by Fu Kangan, one of the emperor's favorite ministers. Although he could not erase his merits, it was precisely because he made military achievements that he could be promoted so righteously.

Now, he is already a dignified third-rank official and a general of the navy. If he is asked to go to Helin's command to clean up the mess of Annan and make new contributions, maybe the generals who have been in a position for more than ten years or even more than half of their lives will become inferior to this guy.

However, the emperor ordered Liang Pengfei's name to be named in his will, so they naturally did not dare to object. However, they always thought that they would be difficult and that they could not make this guy feel so easy. This kind of thinking was almost the common wish of the generals present.

You should know that after the Guangdong Navy's Battle of Zero Dingyang and Dahengqin Island, its strength was greatly damaged. It can be said that most of the elite lost. The losses of warships, artillery, muskets and other weapons were also extremely heavy. Therefore, the equipment of the Guangdong Navy's military equipment now seems very thin and even fragile. For example, the general who spoke just now had four battalions under his command, and three were transferred to the Zero Dingyang Water Battle, but only one battalion came back and took over more than 200 disabled people.

Over the past few days, he has re-equipped various weapons such as warships, artillery and other weapons. He has racked his brains. Not only his town, but even the troops and ordnances in other towns are insufficient.
