Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 56 Rebuilding the Military Port
"Okay, brother Yuan Shu is welcome." Yang Xin smiled slightly.

Yang Xin believes that this is the choice Nalan Yuanshu made after careful consideration.As a rare talent among the banner people, Nalan Yuanshu surrendered to Yang Xin because he wanted to save the lives of the banner people; as a Manchu official, he surrendered to Yang Xin because he wanted to protect the country and the people.

Because in Yanwutang, after countless deduction, the outcome of the war between Qing Dynasty and Japan is about four or six points, four in Qing Dynasty and six in Japan, which means that the victory rate of Japan is relatively high, but it has not formed an absolute trend.

However, Nalan Yuanshu understood very well that the German instructors only made deduction from a military point of view, ignoring political factors, as well as the intrigue and constraints within the imperial court.

Nalan Yuanshu understood that the Qing Dynasty's winning rate was far from [-]%, and Yang Xin was watching over him.During this period of time, Nalan Yuanshu's experience in the barracks had a deep understanding of Yang Xin's military strength, equipment, and tactics, and personally experienced the combat power of Yang Xin's army. He knew very well that the Qing army was no match for Yang Xin's army at all. , Nalan Yuanshu voted for Yang Xin, and took advantage of Yang Xin's power to protect the country and the people, and by the way, save the lives of the bannermen.

"I'm going to cast a certificate now," Nalan Yuanshu said.

"Oh? What is the certificate?" Yang Xin asked curiously.

"The lower officials are going to recommend the commander-in-chief to the Ministry of War as the commander-in-chief of Leizhou Prefecture. With this status, it will be much easier for the commander-in-chief to expand the army or build a military port." Nalan Yuanshu said seriously.

"It is really convenient to have the position of General Soldier of Leizhou Prefecture. However, our army's deployment in Leizhou has been completed. There is no need to get another position of General Soldier of Leizhou Prefecture. I want the position of General Soldier of Qiongzhou Prefecture." Yang Xin said.

"Chief of Qiongzhou Mansion?" Nalan Yuanshu was taken aback.

"Yes, the commander-in-chief of Qiongzhou Prefecture." Yang Xin said.Qiongzhou Prefecture is also the land of Hainan Island in later generations. Yang Xin took a fancy to Yulin Port in Sanya, Hainan. This is also one of the main naval ports and military bases of the South China Sea Fleet in later generations. Yang Xin always felt that only one military port was too conservative and single , Yang Xin wants to open up and build a new military port, making them form horns.

"This matter is very simple! If the general wants to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Qiongzhou Prefecture, he only needs to report to the Ministry of War." Nalan Yuanshu said that there is no problem at all.

Yang Xin nodded. The full title of Nalan Yuanshu's admiral is the admiral's general officer of military affairs. From a first-rank military position, he is responsible for commanding the land or waterway officers and soldiers of a province.The admiral is the highest military chief officer of the green battalion in each province, and the chief soldier of the green battalion in Qiongzhou Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Lan Yuanshu, and the military post of Liupin Qianzong, which Yang Xin donated early, also belongs to the green battalion. This is a promotion within the green battalion, as long as it is reported to the Ministry of War That's right, such trivial matters will never appear in front of Guangxu or Yehenala.

"How long will it take to be officially appointed?" Yang Xin asked.

"The normal process will take about half a year." Nalan Yuanshu said.

"Too long, I can't wait." Yang Xin said.

"Actually, there is no need to wait. The green battalion in Guangdong and Guangxi has been abolished and turned into a patrol battalion, and the patrol battalion has been replaced by the commander. The commander is already the actual controller of the green battalion in Guangdong and Guangxi. There is no need to wait." Nalan Yuan Shu said.

"Forget it, you don't need to report to the Ministry of War." Yang Xin waved his hand directly and said, Yang Xin paid attention to reality and didn't care about those false names.

"I need to requisition Yulingang, the capital of Qiongzhou, and you can arrange it," Yang Xin said.

"Yes, Marshal." Nalan Yuanshu said hastily.

"Brother Yuan Shu, go back to Guangzhou and continue to be your admiral." Yang Xin said suddenly.

"The commander-in-chief is so relieved to let me go back?" Nalan Yuanshu couldn't help being taken aback.

"Employees are not suspicious, and suspicious people are not. If I don't even have this kind of structure and capacity, how can I do the act of changing the sky." Yang Xin laughed indifferently.

There are two reasons for Yang Xin to let Nalan Yuanshu go back. First, Yang Xin has put Nalan Yuanshu under house arrest for half a year, and Guangzhou City is already ready to move. The admiral of a province disappeared for half a year without any reason, and everyone would think it was wrong. Now, at this time, no matter whether you continue to detain Nalan Yuanshu or let Nalan Yuanshu go, the result is the same.

Keep detaining Nalan Yuanshu, no matter how incompetent the Qing court is, they can find out the abnormality of Leizhou Mansion, let Nalan Yuanshu go, even if Nalan Yuanshu is a false surrender, the result is the same as detaining Nalan Yuanshu, It's better to let him go back, if he really surrenders, Nalan Yuanshu's heart can't be chilled.

Second, Yang Xin is not afraid of Nalan Yuanshu's false surrender. As the patrol battalions patrolling the two provinces have all been replaced by his own people, Yang Xin is not afraid of Nalan Yuanshu's false surrender at all. China" flag, just raise the flag in advance.

"Brother Yuan Shu, there are three important things to do after returning to Guangzhou." Yang Xin said.

"Commander, please give me an order." Nalan Yuanshu set himself upright.

"First, hold on to the military power of the patrol camp; second, make as much money as possible; third, I will act in the name of brother Yuanshu, admiral. I hope brother Yuanshu is mentally prepared." Yang Xin said.

"I understand." Nalan Yuanshu said immediately.

Yang Xin prepared a banquet that night and practiced it for Nalan Yuanshu. The next day, Nalan Yuanshu hurried back to Guangzhou with his confidants.

"Junzuo, just let Nalan Yuanshu go?" Guijiaoqi asked.

"What if I don't leave? Is it a waste of food to stay here?" Yang Xin rolled his eyes and said.

"Nalan Yuanshu is a bannerman after all, and people who are not of our race must have different hearts. What if it is a false surrender?" Guijiaoqi asked in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter. At this point, there is no point in feigning surrender. Our army has been completed, and we have gone deep into various major cities in the name of a patrol battalion. If there is any change, we only need a telegram to raise an incident. Nalan Yuanshu is a smart man. It may be a false surrender, and he also left his admiral's seal here to facilitate our army's actions, but don't be careless, send a telegram to tell the soldiers of the Guangzhou City Patrol Battalion and our hidden stakes, don't Relax, keep a close eye on Nalan Yuanshu and his party, and at the same time monitor the capital and the outside world, if there is any change, report it immediately, or at worst, we will take action immediately." Yang Xin said, looking at Nalan Yuanshu's back.

In fact, after Nalan Yuanshu returned to Guangzhou, he did have some wavering in his thoughts. He wanted to secretly write to the capital to accuse Yang Xin of treason. However, when he thought of Yang Xin's military front, he also thought of the covetous Japanese and Western countries. The great powers of the various countries still thought of the desperate court and the endless internal fighting, and Nalan Yuanshu finally burned the secrets completely.

The return of Nalan Yuanshu brought peace to the Guangdong-Guangzhou officialdom which was about to move around. Moreover, after Nalan Yuanshu’s return, he did not compete for power with Li Hanzhang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He only strictly controlled the military power of the patrol battalion. The military power of the battalion is also what it should be, and Li Hanzhang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, doesn't care at all.

As for Nalan Yuanshu's frenzy for making money, Li Hanzhang, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, didn't care much more. It's not normal for an official who doesn't make money. What's more, he is also making money himself. The behavior described above couldn't be more normal, and it didn't pay attention at all.

As for the relocation of the patrol battalion in Qiongzhou Prefecture to Yulingang, Li Hanzhang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, didn't even care. Li Hanzhang didn't even know where Yulingang was. Let him make trouble, as long as Nalan Yuanshu doesn't fight for power with him, Li Hanzhang doesn't care about other things at all.

With Nalan Yuanshu, the great god, protecting Yang Xin from the wind and rain, and escorting him, everything about Yang Xin went very smoothly.
