It was Liu Zhifeng who was sent to be the prefect of Taiwan.

Liu Zhifeng was born in a family of eunuchs, smart and studious since childhood, 14-year-old Zhongxiucai, 28-year-old Zhongjuren, 44-year-old Zhongjinshi, served as Huai'an Mansion (Anhui Province) manager (judicial officer), strict law enforcement, and the people are satisfied.

In the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618), he served as the same examiner (deputy chief examiner) of Huguang (Hunan, Hubei). In the third year of the Apocalypse (1923), he was promoted to the inspector of Huaixi Province in Nanjing. Shangshu successively defended the border guard Sun Chengzong and others, and Shangshu participated in the impeachment of the traitorous eunuch Wei Zhongxian, asked to stop the internal exercises, was reprimanded by the imperial court, and was expelled from the court by the eunuch party. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, he was instructed to inspect the Jiangfang, and when the term expired, he returned to Beijing, but was seized of office by the eunuch party on the pretext of the excuse.

In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), Wei Zhongxian was defeated and killed, and the imperial court let him serve as the imperial history of Jiangxi in view of Liu Zhifeng's loyalty and commendability.

Liu Zhifeng has been loyal and upright all his life, living a very frugal life, always having light tea and light meals on weekdays, and wearing more luxurious clothes, washing and washing a piece of clothing until it is worn out and white. He is very warm-hearted and responsive to people's needs, and he is not stingy. The people of the time were very impressed.

He dared to give direct advice, and the minister of fighting spared no effort, such talents, just send them to Taiwan to fight thieves!

As for sesame officials such as county officials, the officials will not be nerve-wracking, and it will be decided by Min Fu Xiong Wencan.

……

Hearing that the imperial court decided to set up the Taiwan Prefecture in Taiwan (the prefecture is located in Tainan) and the three counties of Kaohsiung, Tainan and Chiayi, and then sent the prefect and the prefect to Tainan, and the official ship came to Tainan, Yan Changwu and Chen Xinji attached great importance to it, and the two jointly arrived in Tainan to greet the court officials.

The two of them first went to the old Overseer's Mansion to sit and have refreshments, and saw through the telescope that the official ship (that is, the Fu Ship) in the open sea was sailing, and two cruisers from the Southeast Mansion escorted it.

The two cruisers are in battle mode, and the cannons protrude from the cannon doors of the ship's walls, showing majesty, I don't know if those Ming officials are scared!

When the official ship docked at the pier, Yan Changwu ordered people to fire cannons to welcome him, and ordered 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps to line up to greet him, which really "gave enough" face to the imperial court.

Waiting for the quiet avoidance and other signs, the stick leader got off the boat and went ashore, and only one person in an official robe walked down the boat, wearing black money on the head and wearing a four-grade civil official uniform, which should be Liu Zhifeng.

He was tall and thin due to malnutrition, but he was very energetic, and his eyes could be seen to be "shining"!

Seeing the thousands of marines posed by Yan Changwu, they were fully armed, carrying huge muskets on their shoulders, the tips of the spears flashing with cold light, and the water basin helmets on their heads, they were not wearing the uniforms of the Ming army!

Wearing a military uniform that is different from that of the Ming army, they are capable and sassy, and everyone wears a sturdy deerskin vest, and they are either strong or strong, which is very different from the Ming army.

Seeing Liu Zhifeng's expression as usual, he was not frightened, Yan Changwu secretly admired, and bowed his hand to Liu Zhifeng: "Governor Liu, if you are not welcome, please forgive Yan for being rude." ”

"Don't dare to be it, General Yan is too polite, and the subordinate can't afford it." Liu Zhifeng replied.

In the Ming Dynasty, the civil dignity and martial arts were inferior, and a fourth-grade civil official could fight against the general soldiers of the upper and second grades, and Liu Zhifeng called himself a subordinate official according to the ratio of grades (Yan Changwu was a second-grade general), which was also a manifestation that he was not pedantic.

Min Fu Xiong Wencan knew that Liu Zhifeng was the prefect of Taiwan, and knew that Liu Zhifeng was straightforward, afraid that he would confront Yan Changwu and lose the dignity of the imperial court.

He showed all the information of Yan Changwu to Liu Zhifeng, and Liu Zhifeng was deeply touched!

The fifteen-year-old boy killed the enemy with his own hands, and then ran Taiwan, formed a fleet, defeated the Dutch twice, and defeated the officers and troops twice, including the big defeat of the Fujian Navy Division and the sea battle, all of which were fought in a heart-wrenching manner!

Xiong Wencan's information is more detailed than that of the imperial court, saying that Yan Changwu's southeast mansion has a revenue profit of more than four million taels of silver!

No matter how arrogant Liu Zhifeng was, he was also shocked by these materials!

Take him Liu Zhifeng as an example, 14-year-old Zhongxiucai, 28-year-old Zhongjuren, 44-year-old Zhongjinshi, but Yan Dashao is less than 20 years old and is already a hegemon, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty has no one to beat him at sea.

Fortunately, Xiong Wencan recruited him, if he really wants to rebel, who can control him?

If you dare to be arrogant, he will kill you like a chicken, and it will be useless to die.

Liu Zhifeng has a correct attitude, resolute and calm, Yan Changwu is a person who respects me and I respect him as a person, and he is not arrogant.

At this time, there was a person on the boat, but it was Mr. Zhong, a friend of the Fujian Fumu who he knew, and he saluted Yan Changwu and said, "Hello General Yan!" ”

"Hehehe, hello Mr. Zhong!" Yan Changwu did not observe the vulgar etiquette, and also replied: "Mr. Zhong, are you responsible for sending Governor Liu across the strait?" ”

"Exactly, Zhong sent Governor Liu over on the order of the Governor!" Mr. Chung replied.

"Oh, what about the other three magistrates?" Yan Changwu couldn't help but be curious when he saw the two of them.

Liu Zhifeng and Mr. Zhong both showed embarrassment, and it was ridiculous that the Fujian officialdom heard that they were going to send someone to Taiwan to be an official, but no one dared to go!

Yan Changwu was smart, his eyes rolled, and he didn't know what was going on, so he laughed at himself: "I don't have three heads and six arms, but I'm not a demon with a huge mouth and fangs that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, what are you afraid of!" ”

"General Yan is a real good man, how many people in the southeastern provinces live because of you!" Mr. Zhong responded.

At that moment, Yan Changwu introduced Chen Xinji to Liu Zhifeng, and everyone said a few words, and then Yan Changwu said: "Please go to my mansion, this general will prepare a little thin wine, and wash the dust for the two of you, please be sure to enjoy the light." The mansion is under construction, and it can't be completed for a while, and before that, I have to ask Governor Liu to live in my mansion temporarily. ”

Yes, it turns out that the government hasn't been repaired yet!

If Liu Zhifeng hadn't read the information before, he was afraid that he would be up to Yan Changwu, but how could he afford it, he could only agree.

But a look at the means of transportation, can't help but be fluted, the four-horse carriage of the four horses, the front of the emperor, the carriage is spacious, inlaid with gold and jade, although there is not too much luxury decoration, but the size and specifications are not trivial, similar to the emperor's big wheel.

(Big chariot: The chariot was called the chariot in the Yin and Zhou dynasties, and the chariot at this time belonged to a single wheel and two wheels, and the middle carriage was called Yu, which was rectangular on the left and right.) The car that the emperor sits, such as the jade chariot, is decorated with jade, the gold chariot is named after the gold ornaments, and there are elephant chariots, leather chariots, wooden chariots, etc., each with its own characteristics, called "the five chariots of the Son of Heaven", which represents the emperor's style and is very luxurious. ）

Liu Zhifeng's face changed color slightly, and he said to Yan Changwu: "General Yan, this car has transgressed, please forgive Liu for not daring to take it!" ”

"Governor Liu, don't you know, my Taiwan Wei area is vast, and I take horses and cars to and fro, and the people have long used such carriages, and when it comes to arrogance, the people here have already trespassed I don't know how many times!" Yan Changwu said hesitantly.

Mr. Zhong played a round and said: "Governor Liu, last time Governor Xiong came to Taiwan, he also took such a carriage, you will know that you must have a carriage when you sit on it!" ”

The governor sat down, of course the prefect sat down, Liu Zhifeng and Yan Changwu got into the carriage together, plus Chen Xinji and Mr. Zhong, and the four of them didn't feel crowded when they sat in the carriage.

The king whipped his horse, and the horses began to run.

Looking out through the glass of the carriage, Liu Zhifeng was greatly moved!
