Chapter 1382 Thank you from Duke Wei
"Come on, nephew Zihou"
Zhu Ping'an and his colleagues from the Criminal Division said goodbye to Hu Zongxian and walked down the street in front of the patrol office. After a few steps, he heard a familiar voice in front of him. Zhu Pingan looked up and saw the Marquis of Linhuai waving to him.
Beside the Marquis of Linhuai, there is an official who is a few years older than the Marquis of Linhuai. His figure is two times smaller than that of the Marquis of Linhuai. He is wearing a military attaché uniform with a brave leopard embroidered on the plain. , this is the uniform of a third-grade military attache.
The two are two levels apart in class, but they are holding each other's back, talking and laughing, and seem to have a good personal relationship.
Well, this official is probably Wei Guogong. Zhu Pingan guessed in his mind.
Zhu Pingan confessed his crime to Master Zhetai, Chu Xiong and others. Zhetai and others also noticed that Marquis Linhuai greeted Zhu Pingan, asked about the identity of Marquis Linhuai, and nodded with a smile. , indicating to Zhu Pingan that it would be okay to go.
"Uncle, who is this lord?" Zhu Pingan said goodbye to NiTi and others, came to the Marquis of Linhuai and bowed his hands in greeting, asking for the identity of the person next to him.
"Haha, my dear nephew, I am about to introduce you to the Duke of Wei." Marquis Linhuai introduced with a smile.
It turned out to be Wei Guogong, just as he had guessed.
After Zhu Ping'an was introduced by the Marquis of Linhuai, he smiled and bowed his hands to the Duke of Wei, "I will pay my respects to the Duke of Wei." A close acquaintance, a close acquaintance, as close as a brother, Zihou, you are the nephew-in-law of the Marquis of Linhuai, and you are also my nephew-in-law. If your nephew does not dislike you, just call me uncle." Wei Guogong smiled. Said to Zhu Pingan.
"Ping'an is what I wish for, let's meet my uncle." Zhu Ping'an responded with a smile and greeted him as his nephew.
"Haha, what a good nephew." Wei Guogong smiled brightly.
“Thieves, please don’t think that just because you have a good relationship, you will be able to deny your gratitude.” The Marquis of Linhuai bumped Wei Guogong with his shoulder.
"What kind of thief? I was just a reference. Why don't you thank me? Am I that kind of person?!" Wei Guogong couldn't help but blush after hearing what the Marquis of Linhuai said. He blushed like Guan Gong and replied with a stiff neck. .
"Haha." The Marquis of Linhuai chuckled and rolled his eyes with his squinted eyes.
"Ahem, nephew, last time you gave the Marquis of Linhuai some insightful advice on replenishing warships, but he was stuck in his ways and was stubborn. It's not that Bole didn't recognize your nephew's insights. I'm different, At that time, I was fascinated by my nephew’s true knowledge and insights. His suggestions hit the nail on the head and pointed out every word. Regarding the current problems of the naval forces, he put forward practical suggestions. It would be a pity if such golden words were discarded. I couldn’t bear to see the pearl covered in dust, so I adopted my nephew’s suggestion and suggested to the Holy One to add more warships. Sure enough, the Holy One did. Agree with the suggestion."
Wei Guogong coughed and explained to Zhu Pingan.
"It's an honor for my uncle to adopt it." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.
"Marquis of Linhuai, look at my nephew and then at you, are you sorry? My nephew has a much broader mind than you."
Hearing this, Duke Wei was overjoyed and couldn't help but He bumped Linhuai Marquis with his shoulder and joked with a smile.
"Don't talk about these things. Where are the thanksgiving gifts?" Linhuai Marquis stretched out his fat paw and pushed Wei Guogong away.
"Ahem, nephew, I heard your uncle say that you are in charge of rectifying the military equipment of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and leading the militia in the Criminal Division. My uncle doesn't have any good gifts for you, so I will give you some military equipment you need. supplies."
Wei Guogong coughed and said to Zhu Pingan.
The military supplies are good, I like them. When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he cupped his hands and thanked him, "Thank you uncle for providing help in times of need."
"Don't use junk against us." Marquis Linhuai interjected from the side.
"Do you think I'm like you? What kind of obsolete products should I use to deal with Zihou? The materials I give Zihou are all new products."
Wei Guogong raised his chin and sarcastically said to the Marquis of Linhuai , emphasizing that what he gave Zhu Ping'an were all new products.
"What new product?!" Linhuai Marquis asked.
"Of course I will provide whatever my nephew needs," Wei Guogong said generously.
"Okay, this is what you said." Linhuai Marquis clapped his hands, and then said to Zhu Ping'an, "Zi Houxian nephew, it is rare for Wei Guogong to be generous. If you are lacking now, just ask. ”
Last time, the Marquis of Linhuai gave himself a batch of obsolete military uniforms, as well as spears, swords, long bows, damaged armor, and three hundred muskets. At present, he still lacks more. There are tents, armor, and artillery.
Zhu Ping'an thought for a moment, then handed over his hand to Wei Guozheng, "Uncle, the food and salary allocated by the court are limited and it is difficult to maintain. At present, our militia still has We are short of camp tents, armor, muskets, artillery, and food and grass."
"Ahem, nephew, the muskets are okay, but there is nothing we can do about the artillery. These are all quotas from the imperial court."
When the Duke of Wei heard this, he was sweating on his forehead.
"Spit, then why did you just say so shyly that if Zihou lacks anything, you will give it to him."
The Marquis of Linhuai did not miss the opportunity to laugh.
"Then you are better than giving only the eliminated products to your virtuous nephew." Wei Guogong retorted, and then said with a rich voice, "Although the artillery is hindered by the court's quota, I can't help it, but I can do everything else."
< br> "My nephew, I heard that you want to form a militia of a thousand people. Well, let's do this. I will allocate one hundred sets of tents and one hundred pairs of armor to you from the army. I can't help you with artillery, but I can also provide you with firecrackers. Two hundred.”
Wei Guogong made a promise to Zhu Pingan.
"As an elder, you have used Zi Hou's good strategy, and you have the nerve to ask for just this little thing."
The Marquis of Linhuai ridiculed, provoking Wei Guogong to bring out some more good things. .
“My tents are all new, my armor is new, and my fire guns are also new. They are all new products recently distributed by the War Bureau. Oh, by the way, nephew, I will Ten stones of gunpowder for you." Wei Guogong raised his chin and said.
"Well, the new products distributed by the Military War Bureau are fair enough." Linhuai Marquis nodded when he heard that it was a new product distributed by the Military War Bureau. Although not all products produced by Bingzhan Bureau are high-quality goods, they are all of high quality.
"Thank you so much, uncle, thank you so much, uncle." Zhu Pingan first thanked the benefactor, Wei Guogong, and then thanked the Marquis of Linhuai for helping him negotiate the terms.
"My dear nephew, you are so polite. Today, Japanese pirates are running rampant. Helping the Zihou militia is also to share the worries of the saint and solve the problems of the people." Wei Guogong replied with a smile, and then encouraged, "Although it is a militia, Zihou You should try your best. If you have any problems in the process, you can come to me and Marquis Linhuai. We have been in the army for many years and we still have experience in the army. "
"Thank you, uncle." Zhu Ping'an thanked you again, "I will ask uncle for advice from now on."
"I will go back and make arrangements. Zihou can bring enough people to Zhenwu tomorrow. The camp received tents, armor, guns and other supplies." On the occasion of separation, Wei Guogong and Zhu Pingan agreed on the time and place to receive the supplies.
"Thank you, uncle." Zhu Pingan thanked him again. (End of chapter)
