316 Flickering

When he thought of this, Zheng Fusong had an incredible feeling. There was even a picture in his mind that when he, the deputy general, went home, Zheng Zhilong, as a guerrilla of coastal defense, was able to greet him as a subordinate......

As a young man who has just turned eighteen, it is very tempting to surpass his father, seriously.

So much so that Zhang Mingwei didn't expect that Zheng Fusong would be stupid there after listening to his words, which made him unable to speak his follow-up words immediately.

So, Zhang Mingwei had to pretend to cough.

Hearing this, Zheng Fusong came back to his senses and immediately replied excitedly, "Student...... No, the last general will definitely live up to the recommendation of the national government! ”

Hearing that he had changed his mind, Zhang Mingwei smiled in his heart, and then said to Zheng Fusong: "But now that the Denglai Naval Division has existed in name only, there are no warships and sailors available. Therefore, the emperor's decision was to transfer part of the Fujian Naval Division to the north to serve as the skeleton of the Denglai Naval Division in order to undertake the preliminary task. When the warship is built in the future, we will further expand the Denglai Naval Division! ”

Hearing this, Zheng Fusong was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

He was not stupid, and immediately understood why Xingguo Gong recommended him as the deputy general commander of the Denglai Naval Division, not because of his talent, but because of his father's naval fleet!

Seeing his dumbfounded appearance, Zhang Mingwei added and explained: "Actually, before, the holy decree of some Fujian sailors of the North Diversion Project should have been sent to Fujian. That's right, you go back to Fujian directly, and lead the sailors of the North Diversion to Denglai in the north. ”

At this moment, Zheng Fusong no longer had any excitement, became a little depressed, and stopped talking several times, but in the end he couldn't speak.

Zheng Zhilong is his father, of course he knows his father. Although he felt that his father would not disobey the holy decree, at best, he could only deal with it, and it was impossible to transfer the elite of the Fujian Navy Division to the north.

However, if this northern water diverter is him, his father can't be perfunctory, right?

However, if some elite sailors were sent to the north, Zheng Fusong felt that his father would probably not agree. After all, in the south, it is the Zheng family's sphere of influence. If this elite sailor is transferred to the north and does not have the strength to sit on the southeast coast, then his father will definitely not agree.

Seeing Zheng Fusong's appearance, Zhang Mingwei had already guessed what he was thinking, so he said to him: "Don't worry, when you go back, bring a letter to your father." I believe that after reading it, your father will never say anything about you, and will give you enough elite sailors. ”

Speaking of this, seeing Zheng Fusong looking very surprised, Zhang Mingwei reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are so young, and you have no experience in commanding a sailor to fight before. If he is suddenly promoted to a deputy general, he will definitely not be convinced if he is replaced by an ordinary person. However, if it is transferred from the adjutant general, they will definitely not have an opinion. And with them to help you, I believe you can continue to learn, and it will definitely be no problem to be competent in the end. Only after laying this foundation can you dominate the ocean for the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zheng Fusong listened, although he was a little disappointed, but he also understood that what Guogong said was indeed the truth.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Zhang Mingwei saw him like this, so he said earnestly: "There is no choice in the family background, so you don't have to mind too much." What you have to do is to work hard, and the blue is better than the blue, then you can do it. I think your father is just off the coast of my Daming, but one day in the future, if you can work hard, your goal is the sea and the ocean! It's impossible, you think you can't compare to your father, you will always live in the shadow of your father, and your father will say that you are unproductive, right? ”

Young people are the most unprovoked, especially a son-in-law like Zheng Fusong.

At this time, when he heard Zhang Mingwei's words, he immediately raised his head, looked back at Zhang Mingwei, and said in a firm tone: "Guogong looks at it, is my Zheng Fusong promising!" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, if the situation changes today, or even the whole world, it is really a time to be a hero, and there will inevitably be a strong mark in the history books to record this era." Go for it! ”

"The Admiral understands!" Zheng Fusong listened, nodded vigorously, and his expression regained his excitement.

When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then turned around and walked away, and said at the same time: "I recommend you as the deputy general of the Denglai Water Division, and I will send someone to Beijing immediately." In addition, after I wrote the letter to my father, you also helped me convey it. On the prince's side, I'll talk about it later. What you have to do now is to plan your life well and try to learn more about how to fight as a sailor. Regarding the situation in Liaodong, I will also ask someone to sort out a piece of information for you. ”

"Yes!" Zheng Fusong was half a step behind, and respectfully agreed immediately.

"On the North Korean side, you also need to understand. The main task of the Denglai Naval Division is to ensure the safety of Dongjiang Town, and to transport troops to contain Jianjiao. ”

"Yes!"

"The possible opponent of the Denglai Navy Division is the Korean Navy Division, or the rebel generals of Donggang Town, who brought some warships with them when they committed treason."

"Oh!"

“……”

In this way, Zhang Mingwei chatted while walking, and unconsciously returned to the Zhongjun tent, but he found that Zhu Cihong, who came first, was not here.

So, he asked the captain of the brocade guard here, "What about the prince and the princess?" ”

"Back to my lord, Her Royal Highness the princess has taken Her Royal Highness the prince to see the female soldiers!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help laughing. It must have been Zhu Yujiao showing off to her brother, which aroused her brother's interest.

So, he turned to Zheng Fusong and said with a smile: "I have to write a chapter and a letter, you can go and find the prince." ”

The reputation of the female soldier pioneered by Xingguo Gong has long been spread. As an eighteen-year-old young man, Zheng Fusong is of course very curious. However, in front of Guogong, he still remained reserved, and after responding with a fist, it was obvious that he followed the pace of the Jinyi Guard Captain who led the way, and it was a lot brisker.

Zhang Mingwei looked at his back, smiled and shook his head. When he turned around and walked into the tent, the smile on his face was gone.

There was no way, looking at him as if he was not in a hurry, in fact, he was still very worried in his heart.

Huang Taiji actually gathered a cavalry army to go on an expedition to Qindi, this news really scared Emperor Chongzhen. Immediately, he rushed to 800 miles and sent the news to Zhang Mingwei urgently, asking what to do about this situation?

In fact, Min Hongxue, the secretary of the military department of the Beijing Division, had already given suggestions, but Emperor Chongzhen was still not at ease, and he had to come and ask Zhang Mingwei what he meant.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei's suggestion was the same as Min Hongxue's, and he immediately sent an edict to Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, and asked him to garrison the border pass in the north, and he couldn't go to Shu.

In addition, he also comforted Emperor Chongzhen, saying that since this news was sent back by the cavalry who raided Liaodong, then they must also know this news and will definitely do their best to make trouble in Liaodong. In this way, maybe the Jianyu army will return to defend Liaodong, and the crisis in Qin will be solved immediately.

However, although Zhang Mingwei comforted Emperor Chongzhen like this, he was actually a little worried.

Li Laiheng, as the main general, with 5,000 cavalry troops, how much noise he can make in Liaodong, and how painful it is to fight Jianyu, he is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and he really can't guarantee it.

It can only be roughly judged based on the information currently available, such as Li Laiheng's experience, the transfer of Jianyu's cavalry, etc. As for how it will really be, there are too many influencing factors!

"I hope Li Laiheng won't let himself down, so that many things in the follow-up can be revitalized!" Zhang Mingwei thought about this and said to himself.

As long as Li Laiheng can hand over a passable record, he is ready to write a special book and set Li Laiheng as a model for Zhao'an. Not only for the thieves, but also for the people in the court.

Zhang Mingwei has reason to believe that many of the thieves should let go of their worries.

The reason why he wanted to take this route was because he felt that against the thieves, the army alone would not be very effective.

A thief is a wandering thief.

These thieves will fight against the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and once they feel defeated, they will definitely not continue to fight with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, but will flee.

And with the current strength of the thieves, to be honest, it is not the early years of Chongzhen, and the ordinary court officials and soldiers can't stop the thieves at all.

Once the thieves start a guerrilla war, if they want to exterminate the thieves as soon as possible, it is really impossible to decide the thieves in a war.

For example, at the moment, don't look at Zhang Xianzhong and they are clamoring to attack Nanjing, according to the information that Zhang Mingwei has learned, there are many places where the rumors are not true.

That Zhang Xianzhong, what is he going to do?

Also, what is the situation of Li Zicheng's department?

It's really annoying, there is no phone, no telegram, no Internet, this message is really too slow!

Try to put aside these worries, Zhang Mingwei dealt with the matter at hand first.

Zhu Cihong waited for him to finish dealing with things before he appeared, and it was obvious that he was very envious of Zhu Yujiao's experience, which was so wonderful. For this reason, he pestered Zhang Mingwei to give him guidance and explain to him.

When it was getting late, he even proposed to sleep with Zhang Mingwei. This request made everyone stunned.

In the end, Zhang Mingwei still met his request and chatted until midnight.

He also needs to understand the specific situation on Zhu Cihong's side and give guidance. Because Zhu Cihong's matter is indeed very important.

The promotion of sweet potatoes, which is supplementary planting outside the farmland, has been rolled out in the south of the Yangtze River.

This time, Zhu Cihong came over and brought a boatload of dried sweet potatoes to use as military rations for the army. If you don't divide it up, it is estimated that it will only be one per person, and it will just be a taste.
