“Forget about this, forget about me.”
Han Lingshan was a little worried before boarding the ship Unable to bear it, he still warned Lu Wenyuan.
"Why did Qianhu say this?"
Han Lingshan sighed: "There are so many national affairs, and you and I are just pawns on the chessboard. Life or death does not matter after all. The method is independent and the government official is honest, so he will govern Chaozhou well and guard this geomantic treasure for our Ming Dynasty." Lu Wenyuan was startled, looked at Han Lingshan and said: "Thousands of households. Where are you going?"
Han Lingshan shook his head and said, "I'm going to die."
"For the Ming Dynasty?"
Han Lingshan He nodded heavily and said: "For the Ming Dynasty."
After that, he turned around and boarded the ship.
Lu Wenyuan bowed his head and said loudly: "People in the world may not remember Qianhu, but Lu Wenyuan remembers it. If Qianhu died, Lu Wenyuan did not dare to forget to pay tribute at four o'clock and eight o'clock." Qianhu."
At the end of the sentence, my eyes were filled with tears and I couldn't speak.
The ship left.
Lu Wenyuan still stood on the coast for a long time, unwilling to leave. He knew very well that there were not many such men in the Ming Dynasty.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong, in the name of Admiral of the Ming Dynasty Navy, attacked the pirate Liu Xiang who refused to surrender.
Zheng Zhihu followed the expedition and fought against Liu Xiang on the sea in Guangdong. "With a steel knife in his mouth, a rattan shield in his hand, and a rope swinging from the stern of the boat, he jumped onto Liu Xiang's boat and fought. He "robbed all the pieces" and almost killed Liu Xiang. Xiang's pirates.
But he fell into a trap accidentally and was caught in a fishing net and thrown into the sea, where he drowned.
Zhilong was so sad that he fainted. Liu Xiang was defeated by Zhilong and committed suicide.
Because the place where the incident occurred is close to Humen Beach, people have legends that "place names can kill people's lives", such as Fengchu Pangtong in Luofengpo, and Wen Taishi in Juelongling.
Some flatterers built a Zhengzhi Tiger Temple on Humen Beach, which is said to be quite effective.
This method is bound to work. Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu were expelled from home by their father when they were young. The two brothers depended on each other and jointly built up the Zheng family's huge empire. Now the most reliable brother is dead, and not even a child has died. If you don't stay, why don't you ask Zheng Zhilong to make plans for his brother's affairs in the underworld?
Out of a hundred people who come to Zhengzhi Tiger Temple to seek wealth, one suddenly picks up a piece of silver while walking. It is really miserable for those who come to complain about their grievances. When they wake up, they find that the whole family of their enemies has been killed. All are dead, this is just an ordinary operation.
After Zheng Zhihu’s death, Zheng Zhilong’s fifth brother Zheng Zhibao actually boarded the pirate ship.
Speaking of the three Zheng brothers, Long, Hu, and Bao, only Zheng Zhibao has the highest knowledge, because he is Yun Zhao’s nominal classmate—he is also a supervisor of Nanjing Imperial College.
Yun Zhao is a supervisor of the Imperial College, but has never been to Nanjing. Zheng Zhibao is also a supervisor of the Imperial College, and has never seen the president of the Nanjing Imperial College in his life.What does the door look like.
So, Yun Zhao and Zheng Zhibao became close friends as soon as they met.
Yun Zhao will never become Zheng Zhihu’s confidant!
Because if Yun Zhao kills Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu will definitely do his best to avenge his brother and fight to the death... But Zheng Zhibao is different. Everyone is a scholar, and they are classmates secretly. What things are non-negotiable?
One of the most useful words in the world is the word "discuss".
Brothers of life and death will turn against each other after a discussion, and enemies of life and death will become close brothers overnight just because of discussion. This is a very magical thing.
Yun Zhao made it very clear in his letter to Han Lingshan - Zheng Zhibao has been thinking about being the boss for a long time.
The founders of the Zheng family were Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu. If these two brothers were both here, Zheng Zhibao would not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts if he lent him a gentian. .
But who let the second child die?
After Zheng Zhibao became the second child, he found that this position was very bad. When fighting, he had to be the first to attack, and when escaping, he had to be the last to run, so that everyone could follow him with confidence.
However, being the second child is too miserable, and the probability of death is really too high, so Zheng Zhibao wants to be the boss, and then find a stupid unlucky guy to be the second child... It is said that the eldest brother His son Zheng Sen is very suitable.
In fact, Zheng Zhibao never said or showed that he wanted to kill his elder brother.
However, Yun Zhao could clearly understand Zheng Zhibao's request for Lantian County. In his eyes, Zheng Zhibao almost grabbed him by the collar and asked him why he hadn't killed his eldest brother yet.
Zheng Zhilong would leave Zhangzhou with two ships on the second day of October every year to visit Zheng Zhihu at Humen Beach. At this time, Zheng Zhilong had only a guard team of less than 500 people with him.
These words were spoken affectionately by Zheng Zhibao and Yun Zhao while they were drinking. At that time, Zheng Zhibao was drunk and full of longing for his second brother. He wished he could leave Yushan immediately and go to Humen Beach in person. Pay homage to his two... brothers.
He also said that if he were not busy with secular affairs, he would definitely go there immediately... If anyone could help him fulfill this short-term wish, he would be his dear brother.
Although it is easy for him to pay homage to Zheng Zhihu's biological brother, Yun Zhao is not afraid. He needs more people to pay homage to him. If necessary, even his classmate Zheng Zhibao can not pay homage to him.
To this end, Yun Zhao raised a glass and claimed that he was Zheng Zhibao’s good brother. He also said that all brothers in the world are one family, and his brother’s wish is his wish. As long as his brother is happy, he, as a brother, will also be happy. Must be happy.
Han Lingshan left Chaozhou for Humen just to make his newly acquainted brother in the county happier.
The monolithic pirates are very detrimental to the development of the navy in Lantian County. The pirates who are suspicious of each other and have established their own power are suitable for Han Xiufen to swallow them up one by one, and eventually turn the pirates into a disciplined new navy. This It is most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, maritime trade will definitely become more prosperous, which will be of great benefit to Lantian County’s import and export of materials.
Many of the materials that Yun Zhao urgently needed could not be found in Guanzhong.
If it is just for living, the existing types of materials in Guanzhong are enough. However, if there is an urgent need to develop industry and science and technology, many things are indispensable, such as rubber and sulfur.
Yun Zhao saw the urgent document sent by Han Lingshan and sighed silently.
It is always very troublesome to ask Han Lingshan to do things.
This time, he doesn’t know how many of the people he recruited from Chaozhou will survive.
Han Lingshan made it very clear in his letter that it was basically impossible to sneak attack a man like Zheng Zhilong who had been a pirate all his life. The five hundred pirates under his command must be strong enough. Not to mention that there are a large number of his subordinates near Humen.
So, this time it will be a classic surprise battle, concentrating all the troops and launching them into combat at once, in order to form a stalemate with Zheng Zhilong in the early stages of the war.
Then he led ten old Yushan thieves to force a breakthrough, beheaded Zheng Zhilong, and then quickly left by boat.
Of course, all this is the worst-case scenario and can only be implemented after blowing up Zheng Zhihu Temple without killing Zheng Zhilong.
For this purpose, he specially prepared a thousand kilograms of gunpowder.
Of course Yang Xiong was not qualified to see this kind of document. The document was brought by Qian Shaoshao, and even he didn't know the full contents.
Yun Zhao personally locked the document in a copper box. Qian Shao Shao skillfully used fire paint and checked it completely before handing it over to Yang Xiong.
These things will not be entered into the file, so Yang Xiong locked the box in a huge iron cabinet. I am afraid it will be difficult for this document to see the light of day again.
"Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th. Only half of the 260,000 silver coins I promised to allocate to Ningxia Town have been received so far. Can you prepare the other half before the 20th?"
Yun Zhao was very dissatisfied with Qian Shaoshao's work progress.
Qian Shaoshao sighed and said: "Prince Fu is more stingy than you think.
The officers and soldiers of Luoyang City are still working hard. Li Hongji has not yet broken through the city wall. He will wait for three more days. , When all the firearms in the city are used up, I don’t believe that King Fu will not come to me to buy gunpowder and cannons.”
Yun Zhao frowned and said: “I don’t want to increase the intensity of Li Hongji’s attack on Luoyang. Therefore, gunpowder and cannons will not be given."
Qian Shaoshao said: "This is a way of saying that after I get the money, I will certainly not give gunpowder and cannons to King Fu, even if there are gunpowder and cannons. Pao Zi was also sold to Li Hongji.For goods, at most the envoy of King Fu can take a look at them when paying. "
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "With Li Hongji occupying Luoyang, the connection between us and the court will be severed. The secretary supervisor believes that this will make it easier for us to do many things in Lantian County, especially boundary monuments. There is no need to run around secretly, you can just stand there openly.
Get the money quickly. Ningxia Town has been waiting for this money for a long time. "
Qian Shaoshi said depressedly: "When the city of Luoyang is destroyed, the manpower we have arranged in Prince Fu's Mansion will be able to take the opportunity to transfer the property of Prince Fu's Mansion. Why do you have to go and cheat money now? ?
It’s all your money anyway! "
Yun Zhao raised his head and glanced at Mr. Qian and said, "It's money from Lantian County! What do I need that money for? "
"But Yueyang has sent you a huge sum of money. Why don't you use this money? "
Yun Zhao said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things? "
Qian Shaoshao looked around and saw a group of cold eyes, and said quickly: "Okay, okay, go now, go now, I will visit Luoyang myself. "
Yun Zhao said: "Luoyang is in chaos now. What are you doing in Luoyang? ”
Qian Shaoshao said angrily: “How can Prince Fu pay if he can’t see me?” ”
Yun Zhao said: “That’s because you haven’t forced King Fu into a hurry, used your stupid brain, and told King Fu that you don’t have to pay all the money yourself, and that selling gunpowder and cannons is for the entire people of Luoyang City.
He just needs to stand up and tell all the wealthy people that if they don’t pay, they will die! "
Qian Shaoshao calmed down, looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Then you not only want the money of King Fu, but also the money of those wealthy families, right?
Yun Zhao said calmly: "Their refusal to move to Guanzhong is an offense to me. What's wrong with punishing them?" "
"But you have just confiscated a large amount of land from a wealthy family. At this time, that rich man dares to come in? "
Yun Zhao held his hands and smiled: "Is life safety something that money can measure? They don't have to come at all. ”
