Zi Hou Xian nephew, come come ……”
Zhu Pingan bid farewell to Hu Zongxian with his fellow officers of the Tidings Division, and after walking down the street in front of the inspector’s office for a few steps he heard a familiar voice ringing out in front of him, and Zhu Pingan looked up to see the Marquis of Linhuai beckoning to him.
Beside Marquis Linhuai there was another official who was slightly older than Marquis Linhuai by a few years, his stature was two circles smaller than Marquis Linhuai, dressed in a military official’s uniform with a valiant panther embroidered on the parka, this was a third grade military official’s uniform.
Two people rank difference of two levels, but but each other hook shoulders, talking and laughing, looks like a good personal relationship.
Well, this official is about the Duke of Wei ……Zhu Pingan guessed in his heart.
Zhu Pingan made a confession to Lord Tuan Tai as well as Chu Xiong and the others, Tuan Tai and the others also noticed Marquis Lin Huai greeting Zhu Pingan, asked about Marquis Lin Huai’s identity, smiled and nodded, signalling that Zhu Pingan but there was no harm in going.
“Uncle, this lord is?”Zhu Pingan said goodbye to Nickel Titanium and the others, came to Marquis Linhuai and bowed his hand in front of him, asking for the identity of the person beside him.
“Hehe, Xian Nephew, was about to introduce you, this is the Duke of Wei.”Marquis Lin Huai smiled and introduced.
Sure enough, it was the Duke of Wei, and his own guess was generally the same.
Zhu Pingan after Marquis Linhuai’s introduction, then smiled and arched his hand to greet the Duke of Wei, “My humble servant pays his respects to the Duke of Wei.”
“Hehe, ZiHou such a name can be too formal, I and LinHuai marquis for the total corner of the friendship, irreconcilable friendship, close as a brother, ZiHou you are the nephew son-in-law of the LinHuai marquis, that is also my nephew son-in-law, ZiHou nephews, if you don’t mind, the same call me uncle can be.”Duke Wei smiled and said to Zhu Pingan.
“Ping An begs to differ, greetings to uncle.”Zhu Pingan smiled and responded, saluting as son and nephew.
“Hehe, good virtuous nephew.”Duke Wei smiled broadly.
“Slip-stealing thief, don’t think that pulling strings will obscure your gratitude.”Marquis Linhuai bumped Duke Wei with his shoulder.
“What thief, I was referring to that, and obscuring your thank you gift, am I that kind of person?!”Duke Wei heard the words of Marquis Lin Huai, could not help but old face red, blushing like Guan Gong, stalking his neck back.
“Hehe ……”Marquis Lin Huai gave a heck of a laugh and rolled his narrowed little eyes.
“Ahem, virtuous nephew, last time you gave Lin Huai Hou mentioned the additions to the war ship of the insights, but he is a stagnant, stubborn, not Bole does not know virtuous nephew s insights. I am different, I was for the insights of the nephew of the virtuous, the nephew’s advice to the point, a pinpoint, word for word, pointing out the current problems of the navy, put forward practical suggestions. Such a good words of gold and jade, if it is discarded is a pity, I can not bear the pearl in the dust ah, so the adoption of the nephew’s advice, to the saint on the proposal to supplement the warships, the saint really agreed to the proposal.”
Duke Wei coughed, explained to Zhu Pingan.
“It is Ping An’s honour to be adopted for uncle.”Zhu Pingan smiled and said.
“Marquis Linhuai, look at Xian Nephew, then look at you, good for you, Xian Nephew’s mind can be much broader than yours.”
Duke Wei sniffed, his face was overjoyed, he couldn’t help but bump back into Marquis Lin Huai with his shoulder, laughing and joking.
“Don’t talk about these things, where’s the thank you gift?”Marquis Lin Huai stretched out his fat paw and pushed Duke Wei away.
“Ahem, virtuous nephew, I heard your uncle say that you are in charge of rectifying the military preparation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Tidings Division, and mentioning the civil regiment, my uncle doesn’t have any good gifts to send to you, so I will send you some materials needed for the military preparation.”
Duke Wei coughed and said to Zhu Pingan.
The military supplies are good, I like it, Zhu Pingan sniffed and arched his hand to thank him, “Thank you uncle for sending me charcoal in the snow.”
“You don’t want to use the rags against us.”Marquis Linhuai interjected from the sidelines.
“You think I’m like you, taking any obsolete goods against Zi Hou, the supplies I gave Zi Hou are all new products.”
Duke Wei tilted his chin and sarcastically spoke to Marquis Lin Huai, emphasising that what he gave Zhu Pingan were all new products.
“What new products?!”Marquis Linhuai pursued.
“Naturally, I will provide whatever Xian Nephew needs.”Duke Wei said in a wealthy and generous manner.
“Good, this is what you said.”Marquis Linhuai clapped his hands, then said to Zhu Pingan, “Zihou Xian nephew, it’s rare that Duke of Wei is generous for once, what do you need now, just ask.”
Last time, Marquis Linhuai gave himself a batch of obsolete military uniforms, as well as spears, swords, longbows, and broken armour, as well as 300 bird cannons, and what he currently lacks are tents, armour, and artillery ……
Zhu Pingan briefly pondered for a while, then arched his hand and said to Duke Wei, “Uncle, the court has allocated limited food and wages, which makes it difficult to maintain, and at present, my militia is still short of tents, armour, cannons, artillery, and food and grass ……”
“Ahem, Xian Nephew, the cannons are fine, but the artillery is out of the question, it’s all imperial court quotas.”
Wei Guo Gong sniffed, his forehead was sweating.
“Pfft, then why did you just shyly say that what Zi Hou lacks, you will give ……”
The Marquis of Linhuai didn’t miss a beat in scoffing.
“Then you’re better than if you only gave Xian Nephew elimination items.”Duke Wei sneered back, then said with an air of wealth, “Although the artillery is in the way of the imperial court quota, I have no way, but I can do everything else.”
“Xian nephew, I heard that you want to form a 1,000 man militia group, well, let’s do it this way, I’ll allocate 100 sets of tents and 100 pairs of armour from the army with you, I have no way to do it with the artillery, but I can give 200 cannons as well.”
Duke Wei opened his mouth and promised Zhu Pingan.
“You being the elder and using Zi Hou’s good advice, for this stuff, you have the nerve to ask.”
Marquis Linhuai taunted, provoking Duke Wei to bring out some more good stuff.
“I’m all new here, the tents are new, the armour is also new, the cannons are also new, they are all new products recently dispatched by the Bureau of Warfare. Oh yes, virtuous nephew, I’ll give you another ten stones of gunpowder.”Duke Wei tilted his chin and said.
“Well, the new products distributed by the Bureau of Warfare are quite reasonable.”Marquis Linhuai nodded his head when he heard that it was a new product distributed by the Bureau of Warfare. The products from the Bureau of Warfare were not all fine products, but they were all good quality goods.
“Thank you uncle, thank you uncle.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand and thanked the gold master, Duke Wei, first, and then thanked Marquis Linhuai, who had helped with the negotiations.
“Your nephew is polite. With the Japanese invaders running rampant today, bustling to help the ZiHou Civil Regiment is also a way to share the worries of His Holiness and relieve the people’s difficulties.”Duke Wei smiled back, and then encouraged, “Although it is a militia, ZiHou should also do his best, in the middle of any problems, you can come to find 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 Pingan thanked again, “I will always ask for your advice in the future.”
“I’ll go back and make some arrangements, Zi Hou can bring enough people to Zhenwu camp tomorrow to collect the tents, armour, cannons and other supplies.”As they parted, Duke Wei and Zhu Pingan agreed on a time and place to collect the supplies.
“Thank you, uncle.”Zhu Pingan thanked him again.
