Chapter 1159: Going to Sea and Sweeping the Tail
Wu Zheng took advantage of this opportunity and quickly walked around to the side.
I don't want to, I was at the door, and I was caught by Xiong Rulin and Mo Zhinian, who were quick to see the opportunity, left and right, and blocked it.
Wu Zheng looked at Mo Zhi and said, "Old Mo, I have two sailors in Zhoushan and Wusong, and the Zheng family sailors can't hurt me...... In this way, if there is a real accident for this king, you can jointly nominate one of you to succeed you. ”
Mo was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "Why is the prince so reckless? Even if there is really a war, the old man will not object, with the strength of the General's Mansion, there is no need for the prince to be in danger ...... danger. ”
"Who said this king wants to go to war!"
Wu Zheng said leisurely.
This made everyone stunned, and it was beyond everyone's expectations.
Wu Zheng said: "For the Zheng family in the south, deterrence is necessary, only by hurting him can he prevent him from provoking me." But Zheng Chenggong is not an enemy, at least not until the success of the Northern Expedition...... Therefore, I have to go to this matter, the Zheng family's fleet that fled to the northeast is still the main force, and the strength of the Wusong Naval Division may be able to defeat it, but its own losses will not be small, and we cannot afford such losses. Therefore, it is very necessary for me to personally solve this war. ”
Everyone sighed when they heard this, and if they had no intention of going to war, the risk would be much smaller.
Mo Zhinian thought for a while and said, "That...... You can send someone to send a message to the south and ask the king of Yanping to meet with the prince ....... ”
"Does it work?" Wu Zheng asked, "If Zheng Zhiguan still leads the sailor, he may be able to succeed, but Zheng Cai has already killed Zheng Zhiguan, he will not be allowed to Zheng Chenggong, in this way, he will definitely fight to the death!" ”
Mo Zhinian suddenly said: "Maybe you can recruit An Zhengcai." ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head decisively, "No!" Even if Zheng Cai intends to join him, this king will never accept it...... It's not that this king doesn't care about the overall situation, he has to be rash, even if I don't wait to see Zheng San again, just don't see him, I won't ruin many people's lives for him alone. Did Mo Lao ever think that once we accepted Zheng Cai, we would confirm the king's determination to go south, would Zheng Chenggong be willing to swallow this bitter fruit? He will obstruct the merchant fleet under the General's Mansion in the South China Sea, and we can't afford such a loss, so a war will inevitably break out between him and Zheng Chenggong. Therefore, only by driving Zheng Cai back and letting the Zheng family solve it themselves can the current situation be maintained. ”
Mo Zhinian was silent for a long time, looked up at Wu Zheng's eyes and said, "The prince insists on going, but the old man will not stop him." But the prince just said, if there is an accident, it is not appropriate to be elected by me and a few others, this is not appropriate, since ancient times, there are fathers to sons, brothers to brothers, and few have heard of the courtiers, the so-called orderly inheritance, how can it be so absurd, please forgive the old man for not being able to obey this order...... Besides, the two princesses are pregnant, and the prince has a successor, how can he pass on the throne to outsiders...... Please also make it clear! ”
Mo obsessed with the words made everyone bow down and said: "Please make it clear to the prince!" ”
Wu Zheng smiled bitterly, pointed around and said, "Okay, you are so looking forward to me having an accident?" ”
"I can't wait."
"That'...... Yes! Wu Zheng didn't want to delay any longer, and said casually, "Whoever gives birth to a son of the two princesses will succeed to the throne, if they are both sons, whoever is born first will succeed to the throne, this ...... It's all done, right? ”
Wu Zheng just said it casually, in order to deal with the worries of his subordinates.
The capital, for the master, can not open if you can not speak, to cherish the words like gold.
But Wu Zheng didn't have that self-consciousness, he didn't know, this casual remark planted the seeds of another turmoil.
Of course, that's another story.
……。
To the sea of Zhoushan.
Ma Shiying was a little depressed, and raised her eyes to look at Wu Zheng from time to time.
Wu Zheng ignored him, not wanting to get used to Ma Yaocao's problem.
If you have something to say, you can say it, and if you have a fart, let it go.
Like Zhang Huangyan and others, including Mo Zhinian, there is nothing wrong with this.
This is a bad habit of the old officialdom.
As a subordinate, I want to stop talking, hoping that my boss will take the initiative to inquire, so hanging the appetite of my boss is really annoying.
According to Wu Zheng, why don't you take a rope and hang your neck on the beam yourself.
Ma Shiying tried several times, but Wu Zheng just ignored him.
In fact, Ma Shiying's sense of smell is very keen, which is not surprising, this is mixed from the dye vat.
He understood something from Wu Zheng's words.
But it made him a little worried, no, to be precise, somewhat surprised.
In his opinion, Wu Zheng's strength has grown rapidly.
It was time to "expand the territory", but the problem was the most suitable target - the Qing court was too strong, the passive defense was more than enough, and the active offensive strength was insufficient.
Then, after the armistice with the Qing court, the General's Mansion temporarily lost its purpose.
This is not only a lack of strategy, but also affects the centripetal force of the forces.
There are two reasons why Wu Zheng can rise so rapidly, one is military strength, in fact, this is not surprising, south of the Yangtze River, decades of struggle, some are hot-blooded people, but Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, did not bring this group of people, so that the pearl was covered with dust. Wu Zheng replaced Zhu Yihai and became the leader of the anti-Qing resistance in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Wu Zheng's failure to completely break with the clan.
Because in this way, at least it will not make the internal contradictions completely sharp.
It sounds incredible, but it's true.
For example, a relative, two of which have contradictions, but have not yet been revealed on the surface, then, during the New Year, it is time to move around and still move around, and everyone can still be polite when they meet, so that even if the other relatives know in their hearts, they can also be regarded as not knowing, so they are harmonious.
But if there are two families that have contradictions and completely fall out, then the rest of the relatives will have to choose sides, so it will be impossible for everyone to sit at the same table to eat.
This is the beauty of political ambiguity, which, in the words of later generations, is called seeking common ground while reserving differences.
The second and most important reason for Wu Zheng's rapid rise is that he takes into account the interests of the majority of people, and the majority of them here are not just the poor people, but the real majority of people, including officials, wealthy families, merchants, and even the clan that has just been expelled.
Wu Zheng used the credit finance of the future generations to prop up the day of the General's Mansion, in easy-to-understand words, that is the empty glove white wolf.
The financial department has always been tight, and before the remnants of the Shun army in Huzhou were collected, Wu Zheng only had seven prefectures, such as Shaoxing, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Songjiang, Yanzhou, and Jinhua.
There is no way to continue to expand the army, and even if there is Ding Kezheng, there is not enough money to train and equip them.
This is an insoluble contradiction.
Wu Zheng can only use the trick of this empty glove white wolf, and the most talked about by his subordinates is naturally the construction of a new city.
Is Metro a deception?
No!
Is it built?
Built!
But there has been no relocation so far.
How much longer?
I don't know, it depends on Wu Zheng's happiness.
