344. Chapter 343
Zheng Chaoer led the regiment to surround Sanming County, trying to trap the soldiers and horses of the Taiwan government led by Jarvis. I thought that if I didn't talk about it, I would be sleepy for a few days, and the enemy camp would come to make a letter, but who knew that I would get the letter on the first day. And it's weird.
On the morning of this day, Zheng Chaoer led people to practice for a while, and suddenly some soldiers pointed to Sanming City and shouted. And behold, a great ball rose from the gate, and there seemed to be a basket hanging from the bottom, and there were people in the basket. The ball rose extremely high, fluttered slowly, and came towards Zheng Ying. The soldiers were in an uproar.
The ball gradually floated to Zheng Ying's head, and everyone looked up and saw a person wearing Taiwanese clothes and armor sitting inside. The partial general shouted "Release the arrow!" Dozens of archers aimed at the basket, and a rain of arrows "swished", but not a single one could catch itβflying too high. The man in the basket took something from under his feet and leaned out of the basket and put his hands down! I saw a black dot falling from the sky and gradually enlarging into a black mass.
Seeing that the black group was about to fall, Zheng Chao'er shouted: "Get out of the way!" The crowd scattered in all directions to hide. There was a "plop" sound, and the object hit the ground. A pro-soldier stepped forward to take a look, and it was a green-skinned burden, which had been broken. It was wrapped in an ordinary green cloth, but in the green cloth was a letter. The pro-soldiers were busy handing over to the commander-in-chief.
Zheng Chaoer opened the letter and looked at it for the first time, and secretly praised "Good words!" β
There are only a few letters. "The junior Lin Mou bowed to Master Zheng, the chief soldier of Fujian. The city of three miles, the Guo of seven miles, the ring and attack it without victory, is not as good as the instrument. If I don't throw this book now, I will replace it with iron and thunder, arrows, and fire. Gun bullets, or pour oil and rockets, what about it? I hope that the general will read the people and not disturb his livelihood sooner or later. Goodbye juniors. β
Zheng Chao'er suddenly felt that the heavenly spirit cover was cool and penetrated through the soles of her feet! When? When there is death and no life, there is defeat and no victory. Looking up at the ball again, it was slowly flying back towards Sanming. Obviously, this person is just here to deliver the letter, and the military advisor surnamed Lin really just wants him to understand in his heart. His own family didn't just fight him, but he simply hit a stone with an egg. It's just that the words in the letter are arrogant and unsettling. Nai stood up for half a cup of tea, gritted his teeth and said, "Read it to the people!" It's the old man who disturbs the people! He sighed for a while.
Zheng Chao'er was so depressed that she didn't even eat lunch and sat in the tent. He sat down until the sun was turning westward, and at last he stood up, and ordered the men to change their clothes and prepare their horses. He did not wear armor, only wore homely arrow sleeves and a scarf, and left the camp alone.
When I arrived at the gate of Sanming City, a soldier guarding the gate poked his head out from above and asked, "Is the general going to enter the city?" β
"Not bad." Zheng Chao'er arched her hand, "Please also ask the little brother to open the door." β
"General, come a minute."
After a while, I heard the sound of the city gate "squeak, squeak, yay", the two doors were wide open, and Jia Jun lined up on both sides: "Welcome General Zheng!" Zheng Chao'er sighed lowly, and didn't ask them how they knew that they were Zheng Chao'er, urging the horse into the city, and said, "The old man wants to meet your Lin Junshi." The leader of the gate sent a soldier to lead the way and led him to the Zhixian Yamen.
There are also two lines of soldiers lined up at the entrance of the county office, standing like pines and cypresses. The soldier who led the way compared his right hand between his eyebrows, and the two lines of soldiers compared it neatly, and Zheng Chao'er thought about what kind of salute it was. The leader said to an officer in front of the door: "General Zheng Chao'er, the general of the Fujian army, wants to see Lin Junshi, and his subordinates are ordered to lead the way." The officer nodded, summoned a soldier under him to lead Zheng Chao'er, and the first one exchanged a right hand salute with the officer and went back.
Zheng Chao'er followed this one to the county government again. When they arrived at the door of the main hall of the rear office, the soldier shouted, "Report!" Someone from inside said, "Come in." The soldier said to Zheng Chao'er: "I'm sorry to ask General Zheng to wait for a while." And he went in.
I heard him say loudly in the hall: "General Zheng Chao'er, the general of the Fujian army, is asking to see Lin Junshi outside the door. Zheng Chao'er couldn't help but hold her breath.
A clear female voice said inside, "Come in." β
Zheng Chao'er frowned, why do they still have women in the camp? The soldier had already come out and saluted with his right hand: "General Zheng, my military advisor invites you to come in." Immediately remembered something, and hugged his fists again, "General Zheng, the military advisor invites you in." β
Zheng Chao'er asked, "Did you just compare your hand between your eyebrows?" β
"Military salute." The soldier said, "The salute of our army and soldiers." Fang Cai forgot for a moment that General Zheng was not a person in our army, made a wrong salute, and hoped that General Haihan. Zheng Chao'er's heart moved, and she also arched her hand and followed him in.
Glancing at the door, I saw seven or eight young men sitting in the room, with two chairs in the center; Jarvis sat down, and a young man in a moon-white Confucian robe sat at the top, presumably the Lin military division. It's just that there are no women. He was wondering where the female voice came from, and a room of young people stood up and hugged their fists together: "General Zheng!" β
Zheng Chao'er hurriedly made a group: "Generals. He clenched his fist at the young Confucian again, "This must be Lin Junshi, such a high strategy." One wall looked at his appearance and secretly praised what Nanping County Ling said was not bad. This Lin Junshi is a hundred times better looking than ordinary women, but his whole body is majestic and aggressive, but it makes people forget to pay attention to his appearance.
The young man returned the salute with a smile: "The younger generation is offended." The voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and it was obvious that it was a woman, the female voice he heard outside the door just now.
Zheng Chaoer was immediately stunned! Banrifang pointed at her: "You...... You...... Are you a woman? β
Lin Junshi: "Exactly." β
Zheng Chaoer blurted out: "How can a woman be a military advisor." β
Lin Junshi said crisply: "Because the younger generation has never lost the army." β
Zheng Chao'er choked, and then Fang remembered that the soldier who brought him in really said, "The military advisor invites you in." In a hurry, he said to Jarvis: "Isn't General Jia also good at using soldiers?" That year, in Lingnan, he broke through 5,000 mountain bandits with 1,000 men and horses, and used soldiers like gods. β
Jarvis clenched his fists and said: "It was Lin Junshi who made the plan that day. β
A young general next to him smiled and said, "Why have serious court officers and soldiers become mountain bandits?" β
Another said: "It's the name of the mountain bandits." β
Zheng Chao'er gasped. This little girl looked at no more than eighteen. Nine, how old was that? stayed for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't want to lose in the hands of a woman." β
Another general in the room said: "General Zheng, don't be aggrieved, you are not alone. β
Lin Junshi smiled and invited him to sit on the chair of the guest leader. Zheng Chao'er looked at her and moved to sit, Lin Junshi and Jarvis sat down one after another, and the rest of the people sat down one after another. He called for tea again. Zheng Chao'er thought for a moment in her heart: since this woman has never lost a battle, it is inevitable that there will be people in the army who will obey her.
Before he could figure out how to speak, Lin Junshi said first: "Lord Zheng is here, I think he understands the meaning of the juniors." β
Zheng Chao'er's face turned slightly red: "Your army has many firearms and foreign objects, and the old man is not an opponent." β
Lin Junshi said: "You can't be without soldiers in troubled times, because I don't know how long a stable day can be." Therefore, the Taiwan Government has no choice but to step up military training in case of emergency. The island is sparsely populated and barren throughout. If all the young and strong men come to serve as soldiers, there will be no one to farm. Lord Jia was also forced to do so. As the saying goes, it's hard to leave your homeland. If not, who would want to leave their homeland? Nowadays, although some poor families cross the sea to open up wasteland, they are all without food and clothing. But whenever there is a natural disaster**, I am afraid that these are the first to starve to death. After all, there are still many nostalgia for their hometown. Taiwan is not big, but there are only so many wastelands, and they will all be opened up in a few years. β
Zheng Chaoer said: "According to Lin Junshi's opinion, what should Fujian do? Tenant farmers are hard to find now. β
Lin Junshi said: "The so-called tenant farmer means that he can farm the land, because his family is poor and landless, he rents the land of others to plant, and gives some rent. Yes. β
"Not bad."
Lin Junshi said: "Everyone is profitable, and everyone is nostalgic. Tenant farmers work hard in the spring and summer and autumn for a year, and if they can leave more food for themselves, they are accustomed to the land and familiar neighbors, so they probably don't bother to run to open up the wasteland. After all, it is extremely hard to open up the wasteland. β
Zheng Chao'er was silent for a moment and said: "Now the rents of many Zhuangzi in Fujian have been reduced. β
"That's not enough." Lin Junshi said with a smile, "If you don't want to reduce the rent more, you can also cultivate it yourself, wouldn't it be good?" The old poem says that there is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmer is still starving to death. It's not good that the gap between rich and poor is too great. β
Although Zheng Chao'er didn't quite understand what she said later, she also knew that there was no solution to this matter. If the Taiwan government wants a population, if it does not bring some people from outside the island, no one will farm the land and no one will serve as soldiers. Now it is obvious that others are stronger than their own troops. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Master Jia's strategy is obviously to rip the flesh of Fujian. He has no one to open up the wasteland, but only to find some landless good people, so why should he accept fugitive slaves. β
Lin Junshi said: "Lord Jia is not sincere in accepting fugitive slaves, and many good people have no way out. Lord Zheng must also know that there are all kinds of officials under Lord Huang. Besides, wouldn't it be good if a beggar suddenly had hope and wanted to cross the sea to open up the wasteland? Where did he get the lead? β
Zheng Chaoer said: "The two incidents of tenant farmers and fugitive slaves have become more and more intense, causing many families to be dissatisfied. Princess Jin's maiden family is from Fujian, and there are also slaves in their family who fled across the sea. β
Lin Junshi smiled: "Lord Zheng doesn't have to worry. King Jin is cautious by nature and will not use swords and soldiers. If the princess of Jin consciously stayed in Fujian and saw that she had little money, she sold Zhuangzi and went to the Jin Kingdom with the silver money to join her son-in-law. You don't have to worry about no one buying, you can sell it cheaper and sell it naturally. β
Zheng Chao'er immediately said: "Lin Junshi doesn't take King Jin in his eyes? β
Lin Junshi said curiously: "The younger generation is telling the truth in everything, why don't you take King Jin in your eyes?" β
Zheng Chao'er said: "The Zhuangzi of the mother's family, who could originally earn thousands of silver taels a month, suddenly had to reduce the rent, how could Princess Jin be happy?" β
Lin Junshi said: "What does it have to do with King Jin?" After all, the wife clan is just the wife clan. The Yue family of the king of Jin wants to fight the power of the king of Jin across the mountains and rivers, unless others are afraid of their son-in-law and avoid them. In fact, it doesn't matter if you just think about it. She smiled indifferently, "Even if King Jin wants to send troops, he won't come to the south." Not to mention that King Yan and King Chu will not give way to him, even if he is willing to give way, what benefit can he get from fighting Fujian? β
Zheng Chaoer said: "He has done a lot to fight Fujian, but he is afraid that he will fight Taiwan." β
Lin Junshi smiled brightly: "If General Zheng can get the King of Jin to fight Taiwan, the younger generation will thank you first." Zheng Chaoer was stunned. She said, "Along the way, I have practiced siege and defense, but I have never practiced attacking and defending the island. β
"Is this ...... she uses Fujian and King Jin as a training ground?" He immediately smiled bitterly and said, "How can Master Lin have practiced this?" β
Lin Junshi said: "It's not a secret, the hot air balloon is used on the battlefield for the first time today, and we have always used this thing to transport baggage, because the general besieged the city, and suddenly came up with this use." If you don't have this experience, I'm afraid you won't be able to think of this verse. "She's a good guy," Sure enough, working behind closed doors is different from actual combat. β
Zheng Chaoer laughed: "You really don't save face for the old man." β
Lin Junshi said: "General Zheng didn't lose to the juniors, but he just lost to the utensils. β
Zheng Chao'er waved her hand, thought for a moment and then hugged her fists and said: "Lin Junshi is a celestial man, can you give an idea for Fujian, how to prevent fugitive slaves?" β
Lin Junshi said: "Han Yu said, everything is not peaceful. If the master's house treats the slaves better, they will rarely want to escape. I really don't want to stay, but let them redeem themselves. β
Zheng Chao'er frowned and said, "Since they are slaves, how can they be able to control themselves?" β
Lin Junshi said: "There are few masters and many slaves. People's hearts are free, like flowers and trees facing the sun, and hard sleepiness cannot be trapped. However, there are many people who like to be slaves. Wouldn't it be better to treat these who like to be slaves, and let those who don't like to be slaves redeem themselves, than to lose a share of the money for nothing? β
"You!" Zheng Chao'er was a little angry, "Are you robbing people?" β
Lin Junshi said: "We are just tempting people with profit. Lord Huang and Lord Zheng can also think of some other ways to keep people, wouldn't it be good to rely on their own abilities? β
Zheng Chao'er knew that they were unwilling to give in, and said with a calm face: "Eli tempts people, but it lures slaves to escape, how is it different from robbery?" β
"If we want to rob people, we just have to take a long time. Guns and artillery forced the people of a village to board the boat and forcibly transport them to the island. Lin Junshi smiled and said, "Besides, even if it is a robbery, dare to ask the general, what should I do if I encounter a robbery?" β
Zheng Chaoer wanted to say "fight", but suddenly remembered that he was beating someone from home; When ordinary people encounter robbery and "report to the official", after reporting to the official, they will suppress the bandits, and the bandits will be "beaten", and they will beat others at home. This Lin Junshi is telling the truth. Even if they rob, with Fujian's current strength, there is nothing to be done.
Lin Junshi said: "After all, our Lord Jia comes from a famous family, and he won't do anything to drive the people away with swords." Fujian has a favorable location, if you want to keep people, there are many ways. It just depends on whether you are willing to give up a little self-interest, and you are better for ordinary people and domestic slaves. β
gave up his own population and money in vain, even if Zheng Chaoer's family is a rich man and not stingy, he is unwilling to do so for a while. At first, he saw that Jia Jun had not hurt him several times, and he could only explain some reasoning, but now it seems that they are not half reasonable. Lin Junshi's beauty is rare in the world, but Zheng Chao'er didn't feel pleasing to the eye at this time. Nai clenched his fists and said harshly: "Lin Junshi is not too young, don't you want to marry?" β
Lin Junshi lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I have been too busy in the past two years, and I don't have time to think about this." β
Zheng Chao'er sneered: "I entered the military camp as a woman, who is willing to marry you." β
Jarvis, who sat on the side and didn't say anything, said casually: "Me." β
