Chapter 127: The Foundation of Existence (First Update, Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
Yuyao, Zhejiang.
However, it was said that after Shi Lang led the army to Yuyao, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan had withdrawn.
Pingbai picked up a great credit, and Shi Lang naturally wanted to write a big book.
In his report to Lang Tingzuo, he spoke of the fierceness of the battle, and finally took Yuyao City with his proper command, and Zheng and Zhang fled in a hurry.
Shi Lang is comfortable telling lies, his face is not red, and his heart is not beating.
He started with this, and he grasped all the details very well.
Rao is an old fox like Lang Tingzo, and after seeing this report, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Not to mention the Shunzhi Emperor in the Forbidden City.
It's just that Shi Lang is very unhappy.
That is, the gates of Yuyao City were destroyed by the Ming army.
Generally speaking, if the enemy does this, it means that there is a possibility of a second siege, which will reduce some obstacles for the next siege.
Shi Lang finally got the right to command the army, so he was naturally unwilling to return to Nanjing so easily.
He reported to Langtinzo that the city gate was badly damaged, and that the thieves could be killed at any time, and that they needed to remain stationed in Yuyao for a while.
This sentence is not a lie. This is also Shi Lang's usual routine.
The truth is false, and the false is true. True and false, false and true.
In this way, it is impossible for the average person to distinguish which of what he says is true and which is false.
When Shi Lang arrived in Yuyao, he found that all the Chinese military officials in the city had been killed by the Ming army.
He is a well-deserved emperor of the soil, with the power of life and death in his hands.
Because he wanted to repay the imperial court, Shi Lang decided to borrow the people's heads.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in troubled times, and Shi Lang has no sense of guilt.
It's a pity that those Yuyao people inexplicably made a knife soul, and Yuyao City continued to bleed for several days.
Shi Lang then ordered the damaged city gates to be repaired.
He didn't want Zheng Chenggong to come back next time the city gate was still empty.
As for other civil affairs matters, Shi Lang did not care.
He is not the Yuyao County Commander, so there is no reason to worry about this.
As long as you ensure that Yuyao City will not fall in his hands.
Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong, it seems that you still have a little bit of self-knowledge, knowing that Lao Tzu is coming, run away in advance, to avoid being beaten all over the ground and looking for teeth and losing face.
But you can't hide for a while.
When the warships of Longjiang Shipyard were built, it was the time when Lao Tzu waved his army to attack Zhoushan.
At that time, Lao Tzu will definitely destroy you completely and cut off your delusions!
In Yuyao's days, Shi Lang naturally wanted to enjoy it, he ordered his subordinates to rob many folk girls for his enjoyment, and those who dared to resist were killed.
Anyway, now what happens in Yuyao City is up to him, and he can experience the thrill of being an emperor!

Shuangyu.
Zheng Chenggong has been in a good mood these days.
The people who moved from Yuyao have adapted to life on the island.
Zheng Chenggong ordered people to give each of them houses and basic food rations.
As for the acres, most of them have been barren and need to be reclaimed.
Some people choose to fish, which is also a method.
It's just that from Zheng Chenggong's point of view, I hope that the people can grow food.
Although the food of the Ming army is still enough to eat for a year, everything must be planned in the long run.
It's always good to save more.
There are now thousands of people on the island, and although they have not yet reached the ideal state of Zheng Chenggong, the trend is good.
This gave Zheng Chenggong a lot of inspiration.
He decided to attack more coastal cities in the future.
The aim was not to occupy these cities for a long time, but to bring the people back to the island.
The people are the foundation of life.
With enough people, there are all kinds of possibilities, and Zheng Chenggong is more and more confident in the future.
What made him even happier was that the messenger he had sent to Fuso had returned.
Some local daimyo who were good friends with the Zheng clan expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Ming army.
Not only firearms, but also food is negotiable.
As long as Zheng Chenggong can transport some Ming and Western goods to them for sale.
Zheng Chenggong naturally would not refuse this.
It's nothing more than a small group of ship traders.
The Zheng family originally started by maritime merchants. Over the years, it has also pursued the strategy of using business to support war.
It is impossible for a sailor to remain in a fighting state all the time, so it is naturally appropriate to take time to run the sea trade routes.
Zhang Huangyan has a lot of complaints about this.
He believes that Zheng Chenggong's move will hinder the image of the Ming official army.
Zheng Chenggong was unimpressed.
He argued that it was right for a soldier to take time out of farming, and that taking time to do business would be a hindrance to his image.
This is discrimination against businessmen.
Zheng Chenggong does not think that there is anything wrong with doing business, nor does he feel that businessmen are inferior.
What's more, Zheng Chenggong mobilized his own sailor.
Zhang Huangyan said that if he didn't want to, he wouldn't force it.
Zhang Huangyan couldn't persuade Zheng Chenggong to give up and continue to be busy with the island's agricultural plans.
He imitated the fish scale atlas he had drawn up at the beginning of the day, and ordered people to divide the map of the whole island into small pieces of land and distribute them to the people.
In this way, the concept of household registration was born, and each household had land for cultivation.
Zhang Huangyan decided to extend this method to the entire island of Zhoushan.
As long as the people had land, their hearts were settled.
As for the establishment of a yamen on the island, Zhang Huangyan believes that it should also be put on the agenda.
After all, you can't always rely on them to handle civil affairs.
Professional people do professional things, so that they can be efficient.
It's just that the selection of officials is indeed a bit difficult.
Zhang Huangyan was surrounded by people from the army.
Even if some people are literate and hyphenated, they don't have any experience as officials.
is so rashly promoted, it is indeed a bit of a seedling.
For this reason, Zhang Huangyan proposed to promote culture and education on the island and run the imperial examination.
Although it is not comparable to the imperial examination of the imperial court, it is always a fair means of selection.
Compared with a simple appointment, Zhang Huangyan feels that it is conducive to the long-term development of the island.
Zheng Chenggong is very supportive of this.
In terms of domestic affairs, Zhang Huangyan's talent is far above Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong will also listen to Zhang Huangyan.
Zheng Chenggong was a prisoner of Nanjing Guozijian back then, and he knew the importance of culture and education very well.
In fact, what worries the people the most is nothing more than the culture and education of the land.
With these two things, they can have complete peace of mind.
While chatting with Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Huangyan inadvertently mentioned King Lu.
Now King Lu has gone to the title of supervising the country, and he is a veritable idle prince who does not pose any threat to the imperial court.
After so many years, Zheng Chenggong also looked down on the Lutang dispute.
Zhang Huangyan proposed to take King Lu to Zhoushan, and Zheng Chenggong was silent for a while and agreed.
In any case, King Lu was also one of the few pro-vassal kings who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty.
Although it lacks some ability, it can indeed play a role in calling and inspiring the morale of the military.
It's just that Zheng Chenggong is a little worried about whether this move will attract suspicion today.
If so, it's not beautiful.
