Huang Yingyun replied: "King Wu said that before I arrived in Hangzhou, I had just ended a water war with the king of Yanping, and the cause of the war was that the sailors under the command of the king of Yanping plundered the merchant ......ships under the Northern Expeditionary Army in order to raise military funds. ”

"How's the battle going?" Li Dingguo asked urgently, as for what the cause was, he didn't pay attention, he only paid attention to the result of the battle, because it was very important, and Li Dingguo was really curious, when the two strong meet, who wins?

At this time, because of Huang Yingyun's account and his own judgment, Li Dingguo's heart has actually lowered the ranking of his own forces to the back of Zheng Sen and Wu Zheng.

Therefore, he wanted to know too much who was more powerful between Zheng Sen and Wu Zheng.

This is a knee-jerk reaction, but inadvertently, Li Dingguo hopes that Wu will win.

Because, Li Dingguo "despised" Zheng Sen too much, with nearly 200,000 troops, attacking a Fuzhou city with less than 20,000 defenders, he didn't fight for half a month? In the end, it was surrounded by the surrounding Qing army, and the soldiers were lost and their vitality was greatly damaged.

Because, Li Dingguo is too "unwelcome" to see Zheng Sen, and has sent envoys three times, hoping that Zheng Sen can read the feelings of being the king of the same dynasty, and the two families jointly sent troops to recover Liangguang, but Zheng Sen refused again and again.

In Li Dingguo's view, black and white, right and wrong, right and wrong, right and wrong, loyalty and treachery, are extremely distinct!

If you want to fight, you will fight, if you don't fight and pull down, the Han and the thief will not stand together! Drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in large pieces, Hugh has to twist and pinch, and pretend to be a wolf with a big tail.

And Wu Zheng is gradually being classified by Li Dingguo's heart into Zheng Sen and others. Because Wu Zheng was in charge of such an elite tiger ben, he had no enterprising heart for the Northern Expedition. But compared with Zheng Sen and Wu Zheng, Li Dingguo is more inclined to Wu Zheng, because Wu Zheng is unfamiliar to him, and he also thinks that Wu Zheng is still young, and his blood and qi have not weakened to the point of incurability, in short, there is still "medicine to be saved".

That is, distance produces beauty!

"According to King Wu, the two sides were drawn, and although there were casualties, the main force was not damaged."

Li Dingguo sighed, "He can really tie with the Zheng family's sailors at sea?" ”

Huang Yingyun said: "Not only that, although King Wu said so, when his subordinates withdrew, King Wu's staff privately told me that it was actually Wu Song's naval division that won a small victory, defeated the main force of the Zheng family's naval division, and captured nearly fifty main warships. ”

Li Dingguo glared and said, "That person can't be bragging, right?!" ”

Huang Yingyun shook his head and said: "My subordinates also thought it was impossible at the time, but after that day, my subordinates privately inquired about many officials in the General's Mansion, and the statements were almost the same, and there was no major discrepancy...... Later, his subordinates also figured out that with the strength of the Zheng family's sailors, if they were not defeated or strongly deterred, they would not easily stop fighting and making peace, so I am afraid this is true. ”

Li Dingguo thought about it and nodded slightly, "Mr. Huang's words are reasonable, and Li also thinks that with Zheng Sen's heart...... Tsk, how to put it, Wu Zheng is really powerful! Land warfare and water warfare are all leaders. ”

said this because Li Dingguo absolutely trusted Huang Yingyun.

Many people can live and die when they meet.

Li Dingguo and Huang Yingyun are both this kind of people.

Therefore, Li Dingguo is a big boss, and Huang Yingyun is a broken student, the two are completely different, but they can hit it off at first sight, make an alliance with blood, and vow to support the Ming Dynasty and resist the Qing Dynasty.

Because of this, Li Dingguo recognized that Wu Zheng, who had never met before, had a strength that he could not match.

However, it is still difficult to trust Wu Zheng.

Huang Yingyun also knew that no matter how bold Li Dingguo was, he would not be reckless in the position of tens of thousands of lives, and once decided to obey Wu Zheng's eastward advance.

Huang Yingyun did not continue to persuade him, although the two hit it off at first sight, but there are still great differences in personality, Huang Yingyun understands that if he continues to persuade him, he will be doubted by Li Dingguo, wondering if he is interested in Wu Zheng, which will be self-defeating.

"Lord Wang, King Wu's power is so strong, I don't know it, but what shocked my subordinates even more was the three major academies under King Wu."

Li Dingguo was surprised: "Didn't you say that Wu Zheng is just a showman?" Besides, the land of several prefectures under the jurisdiction of Li and the land of more than a dozen prefectures controlled by the Great Western Army also opened a department to take scholars? ”

Li Dingguo really respected the scholars, although he himself was a big old man, he held a birth examination in the jurisdiction, and gave a reward of 300 strings to those who showed off their talents in the examination, so as to encourage the young people to study hard, and if the country was restored in the future, let them become officials.

In Li Dingguo's opinion, he has done his best.

"King Wu is indeed just a showman." Huang Yingyun nodded and said, "But his whimsical ideas have changed the entire Jiangnan ...... I'm afraid that the prince doesn't know that in the four prefectures of Shaoxing, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Songjiang under the jurisdiction of King Wu, there is almost no one who can't find a way to live, as long as he is willing to do things, he can live well...... For the prince, for example, his subordinates wanted to visit Hangzhou City privately at that time to confirm what Wu Wang's subordinates said to their subordinates. ”

"That day, I went out on the street and walked into a casual liquor store, and when I saw that there were not many customers in the store, I ordered a few ordinary dishes and served a pot of wine...... After I had enough to eat, I suddenly wanted to try it, so I told the store guy that I had no money on me...... Does the prince know what happened to his subordinates? ”

Li Dingguo laughed, "It's natural to give money for dinner, if you want to eat the overlord meal, you have to be ready to be beaten!" ”

Huang Yingyun shook his head and said, "No." The subordinate told the shopkeeper that he had fled from Guizhou, and that he was hungry because of the exhaustion of his body, so he became a scoundrel. But the shopkeeper didn't beat me as the prince said. ”

Li Dingguo's face changed, and he still smiled, "It turns out that you have met a good person, so in this way, this shopkeeper has the style of Gu Meng's taste." ”

"Definitely." Huang Yingyun shook his head.

Li Dingguo was stunned, "What is it?" ”

"The shopkeeper listened to his subordinates, and he immediately retained them."

"Are they holding you hostage?"

"No, the shopkeeper's subordinates are paid for their work." Huang Yingyun smiled bitterly, "Even the shopkeeper heard that his subordinates had wives at home, and even persuaded his subordinates to bring his wives to Hangzhou, saying that as long as he was willing to work in his shop, the wages he received were not inferior to those of his subordinates." ”

Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Stop, women can also go out to do things?" ”

Huang Yingyun sighed: "I'm afraid the prince doesn't know that in the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the wages earned by women in a day are higher than those of ordinary men. ”

"Why is that?"

"Girl embroidery, women tailor, old woman washing, domestic help...... Lord Wang, there is no one in Jiangnan, it is useless. Huang Yingyun said, "In the land under the jurisdiction of King Wu, what is most lacking is the population, and the people of the surrounding provinces are gathering in the east...... Lord Wang, Jiangnan is now like a paradise. ”
