Super Dictator

Chapter 116 Entering the city

The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoofs, and they trample all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

Nie Cairong looked like this now. She was wearing pony boots, riding a white horse, holding a whip in her hand, and walking proudly at the front.

When Wei Jichen saw her looking like a proud peacock, he couldn't help but smile. This little girl has always wanted to be a general. Now she doesn't have the skills of a general, but she has the majesty of a general.

"Sir, you see the people in the city have come out to greet us." Wang Huaiqing also raised his hand with a joyful expression and pointed at the gate of Haicheng.

There were cheers, and the people lined both sides of the street, waving their hands and shouting signals to the Wei Zijun sergeants who were slowly approaching.

After the generals met Wei Jichen that day, they all supported Wei Zijun to enter the city quickly, and Wei Jichen also appropriately expressed that he was in a good mood and recovered from his illness.

From this, the movement of the army became a matter of course. Wei Jichen first passed the news to Ma Jinxu. Ma Jinxu did his best for Wei Jichen and immediately revealed the news to build momentum for Wei Jichen.

After a day of rapid march, Wei Jichen finally led his Wei Zijun to Haicheng before dark.

When the people of Haicheng heard that the God of Death, Wei Jichen, was going to lead his troops to garrison Haicheng, their smiles widened and they were determined. Everyone wanted to see the true face of Wei Jichen, so they rushed to appear in and outside the city today.

If Ma Jinxu hadn't realized that something was not going well and immediately dispatched a battalion of soldiers to maintain order, the city gate would have been surrounded by crowds inside and outside. Even so, the people stood on both sides of the street and cheered loudly. lively.

The people have always been afraid of the soldiers. Seeing this situation, all the sergeants of the Wei Zijun stood up straight, held their heads high, and moved forward energetically. Even those sergeants who had just joined the Wei Zijun and were somewhat reluctant, at this moment Seeing such a situation, I couldn't help but feel bright on my face.

Hu Zi and several sharpshooters were walking on the periphery. They searched everywhere with their eyes. If they found something wrong there, they would deal with it immediately. Among the crowd of cheering people, there were also soldiers from Wang Huaiqing's personal army disguised as ordinary people, hiding In the crowd, in case there are Japanese assassins lurking.

When Wei Jichen rode his horse to the city gate, there was even a loud cheer.

"General Wei!"

"General Wei!"

Calls from different accents rang out, and everyone called him General Wei.

All the people, men, women, old and young, bowed to Wei Jichen and expressed their gratitude for his contribution in fighting the Japanese in Liaodong.

Wei Jichen quickly returned the salute with his hands raised on his horse, regardless of whether the crowd could hear him or not, and said loudly: "The folks in Haicheng are so polite."

Wang Shizhen, who was riding beside Wei Jichen, saw that his face was calm and his voice was still unhurried. He couldn't help but secretly admire him in his heart. If he had attracted the attention of tens of millions of people, he believed that Master Wei would not be so stable as a mountain.

At the gate of the city, there were Ma Jinxu, Nie Guilin and a group of civil and military officials in Haicheng, including the county magistrate, Yun Qiwei, and literary boys and girls.

Everyone was shocked when they saw that Wei Jichen's prestige among the people of Liaodong was so high. A powerful dragon could not overwhelm a local snake. Wei Jichen, a powerful dragon, could definitely overwhelm a local snake.

Wei Jichen and his party marched slowly until they reached the gate of the city. Wei Jichen took the lead in getting on his horse and then stepped forward to receive the gift.

The free soldiers of the army and horses came forward to lead them.

"Brother Ma, I haven't seen you for many days, but you still look good." Wei Jichen first walked towards Ma Jinxu and said loudly with a smile from a distance.

"Brother, look at the momentum, who else in this sea city can compare with you." Ma Jin said, but his eyes glanced at Nie Guilin next to him intentionally or unintentionally.

Nie Guilin has become much more at peace since Feng Sheng'a's death. Now when he sees something in Ma Jin's speech, he doesn't argue. He just holds his hand in front of him, which is considered as meeting Wei Jichen.

"My lords, how could Wei Jichen, who is so virtuous and capable, let your lords greet you at the gate of the city? It is really a sin. Please step aside and go inside." Wei Jichen glanced at the officials, big and small, with a smile on his face. Said with interest.

"The name of General Wei is like thunder, and the Japanese are frightened when they hear it. Now that he has come to garrison our Haicheng, it is really a blessing to Haicheng, and it also gives us a lot of confidence."

"Yes, General Wei, we are relieved that you have entered Haicheng. You are so famous that the Japanese will not dare to invade easily."

"General Wei, we will hold a banquet at the official office to welcome the general and wash away his dust. I hope the general will condescend to move."

One mouth, two lips, the highest level of flattery is when the other party knows you are flattering, but still enjoys it. The officials of Haicheng have well interpreted this sentence.

Even Wei Jichen felt a little arrogant after listening to everyone's advocacy. Fortunately, he had rich experience and had seen many of these things. He understood that it was because they needed him that he was so enthusiastic. If one day he was contrary to their interests, , they will abandon it.

"Please!" Wei Jichen stretched his hand forward and said with a smile on his face.

The officials kept saying they didn't dare, until Wei Jichen took the first step and then slowly fell behind him.

As Wei Jichen walked, he kept bowing and saluting the people on both sides, causing bursts of cheers along the way.

Among the crowd, Li Que'er was also joining in the fun. She took the silver that day and was depressed for two or three days. But she still had to live her life, so she followed Wei Jichen's advice and opened a wine shop.

Fortunately, she stayed in Haicheng for a long time, and she also had two or three acquaintances. Everyone would give advice and suggestions. The wine shop opened in just a few days. Li Que'er hired two boys. So he became a shopkeeper.

However, before closing time today, she saw the surrounding businesses closing their doors one after another and rushing towards the city gate one by one. She thought something big had happened, but when she found out, it turned out that Wei Jichen, the famous anti-Japanese general and the God of Death, would lead his troops in today. Haicheng.

All the people left in an instant, and the business could no longer continue. Li Queer also came with two waiters to watch the fun.

"General Wei, General Wei!" Li Que'er couldn't help but smile when he saw the two waiters shouting with red faces and thick necks. These two waiters were still young and at the age where they admire heroes.

"Sister Que'er, look, Wei Jichen turned around and raised his hand to me. Ah, ah, I will definitely be a hero like Wei Jichen when I grow up." A waiter saw Wei Jichen looking over and was excited. Unable to control himself, he grabbed Li Que'er's clothes and shouted loudly.

Li Queer shook his head helplessly, hero, is it so easy to be a hero? My cousin killed the bastard Feng Sheng'a, so he was considered a hero, but unfortunately he ended up fleeing to another place.

Speaking of which, my cousin's name seems to be the same as General Wei.

Li Que'er looked at Wei Jichen with a pair of beautiful eyes, and suddenly his body was shocked. He rubbed his eyes again in disbelief, Que'er, Que'er, could it be that you are a shameless woman who misses this person all day long? Cousin.

Li Que'er took a closer look and found that no matter what, General Wei looked a lot like his cousin.

The body shape is the same, the name is the same, and even the face is almost the same. Li Queer stood in a daze and muttered to himself.

When she accidentally saw Nie Cairong leaning against Wei Jichen again, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide and could no longer speak.

This, aren't these the siblings? Just by putting on the military uniform, Li Queer had already engraved the looks of Wei Jichen and Nie Cairong firmly in his heart.

How could she forget the two people who appeared in her life and changed her destiny.

"Cousin, Wei Jichen, it turns out to be General Wei." Li Queer burst into tears at some point. Her heart suddenly became enlightened and she understood everything at once.

"Sister Que'er, boss lady, why are you crying?" The boy watched Wei Jichen go away slowly. When he turned around, he saw his boss standing in a daze, with tears running down her white cheeks and slowly flowing to her chin. , and then like a broken bead, it fell to the ground and broke to pieces.

The young man felt that the boss's wife was so weak and helpless at this time, and she had lost all her usual shrewdness, ability and skill.

"Nothing, let's go back." Li Que'er took out a square handkerchief from his arms, wiped his cheek gently, showed a bitter smile, ignored the cheers around him, and walked forward quietly. , walked away.

After returning home, Li Queer had someone write a couplet and hang it at the door of the wine shop: The hero General Wei is a friend from all over the world. Hengpi: There are always customers coming and going.

When the waiter saw that his boss had even included General Wei in the couplet, he couldn't help but feel worried. He was afraid that the government would come to visit him, so he persuaded Li Que'er to write the couplet.

The boss, who was always talkative, turned cold and silent for a day. What surprised the two waiters was that instead of sending anyone to look for trouble, the government soon sent soldiers to deliver a letter said to be written by General Wei himself. Changed into couplets.

This is all for later, let’s not mention it for now, let’s just say that Wei Jichen joined the government office soon after following the officials in Haicheng.

Because none of the officials knew Wei Jichen's personality very well, there were no singers or dancers at the banquet, only three or four maids serving the wine.

After everyone sat down one by one, Wei Jichen picked up his wine glass and toasted everyone, and said with a smile: "I'm worried about being valued by everyone, so I have to do it first as a token of respect."

Wei Jichen's respectful and humble attitude immediately won the goodwill of all the officials. At first, everyone thought that Wei Jichen, who was promoted to a second-grade military officer at a young age, must be young and ambitious and full of arrogance. They never thought that he would be so polite than before. Feng Sheng'a, who was arrogant and domineering and had his own way of doing things, was infinitely better.

Everyone said they didn't dare, after three rounds of drinking.

Ma Jinxu said with a smile: "Everyone, we and several other armies are stationed in Haicheng to fight against the Japanese pirates. However, Fengsheng'a unfortunately died of illness, leaving our Haicheng army without a leader. Once the Japanese attack, all the armies will not be unified, and I'm afraid there will be a mistake." In the war, Gaishi's city was destroyed and he died. It's too late to regret it."

Ma Yucuo hurriedly agreed: "What the Commander-in-Chief said is right. A snake can't survive without a head. The Japanese may attack this sea city at some time. However, our armies are still defending separately. If we don't support each other, I'm afraid it will be another big defeat."

All the civil officials smiled and nodded. These matters had little to do with them, but mainly to do with the generals who had the soldiers and power.

Nie Guilin said quietly: "This is not very good. The commander-in-chief needs to be personally appointed by the imperial court. If we do this, wouldn't it be against the rules?"

Ma Jinxu looked around and said with a smile: "The opportunity to fight is fleeting. We can report the matter to the court while choosing a person with great prestige as the leader."

"I wonder if the Commander-in-Chief has anyone in mind." Ma Yucuo asked in unison.

Ma Jinxu laughed, pointed at Wei Jichen who was drinking silently next to him, and said, "Everyone has seen today how much prestige Zijie has in the city. Ma is not talented, but he is willing to follow Zijie's lead."

Ma Yucuo said repeatedly: "Master Wei has won consecutive battles. He defeated the Japanese once at the mouth of Caohe River and the second time at Mayang Town. In the battle of Yushu Castle, the Japanese actually had the upper hand. Master Wei is a talented person with great knowledge of the world and the earth, and has made great military achievements. I am sitting here. I’m afraid no one can compare with you, General Ma is a good choice.”

All the officials agreed.

This said: "General Wei's military strategy is the best choice. He should be responsible for leading everyone to fight against the Japanese."

The one said: "With General Wei staying in Haicheng, everyone can sit back and relax."

When Nie Guilin heard the praise from everyone, he couldn't help but look surprised, but he was speechless.

Wei Jichen quickly stood up and refused, "No way, no way. I'm young and all the adults are older than me. How can I dare to give orders to all the adults?"

Ma Jinxu said: "Brother Zijie, there is a hierarchy of learning and specialization, and it has nothing to do with your age. Your talent is undoubted and your achievements are obvious to all. I have one word of admiration in my heart. , If anyone is not convinced by you, both sides will set up their horses and horses, and fight. Whoever wins will temporarily control the armies."

As soon as Nie Guilin heard Ma Jinxu's words, his face turned dark. This Ma Jinxu was so fucking capable, and he even showed off his horses and horses to have a big fight. Wasn't this asking me to die?

There was another round of persuasion from everyone.

Seeing this, Wei Jichen had no choice but to wave his hands and said with worry on his face: "My lords, it's not that I, Wei Jichen, am unwilling to take this responsibility. Fighting against the Japanese pirates is everyone's responsibility. I, Wei Jichen, can do my part. I have no wish, but this is It’s really hard to deal with the imperial court.”

Ma Jinxu smiled and said: "It's no wonder that Zijie declined. This is indeed a big or small matter. General Feng has passed away. It is estimated that the emperor and Lord Zhongtang are worried about the leader of Haicheng. But they I am in a high position and have many doubts about the situation in Haicheng, so why don't we jointly submit a petition stating that Wei Jichen is the best choice to command the armies in Haicheng."

"Mr. Ma is right. All of us have nothing but respect for Mr. Wei."

"Yes, Mr. Wei is the perfect candidate to be the commander of Haicheng. I will accept the joint request."

All the generals agreed with Ma Jinxu's opinion, but Nie Guilin sat aside and drank.

Ma Jinxu glanced at him lightly and asked in a nonchalant manner: "General Nie, what do you think?"

Nie Guilin didn't want to go against everyone's wishes, so he could only say helplessly: "I am also willing to jointly submit the memorial."

At this point, it’s a banquet where the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
