Chapter 125: Bad News
Han Zanzhou rushed to Yang Bo in a hurry to bring bad news.
After Han Zanzhou finished speaking, Yang Bo's face did not change, it was none of his business, and he hung high.
Han Zanzhou was anxious, he lost his previous composure, and he couldn't care about being with Yang Bo. said anxiously: "Yang Bo, whether you can send troops or not, do you give our family a clear word?" ”
"Brother Xiangwen, I believe you have been rewarded, I will leave for Peach Blossom Island in Zhoushan in the near future, and I can return before the year, I am a doppelganger." Yang Bo shook his head, but the expression on his face was neither salty nor light.
"Yang Bo." Han Zanzhou immediately raised his voice and shouted: "This time Liu Er led his troops to raid Taoyuan County, set fire to the city, and looted the city while the chaos was taken. ”
Yang Bo lowered his head slightly, sipping tea, and didn't raise his head, just squinted at Han Zanzhou.
Why? Don't you Han Zanzhou still know? What kind of nondescript regiment always fools me, I'm stupid.
"Brother Xiangwen's words are wrong, Hongzehu traitor Liu Er is the victim, this thief is not removed, there will be no peace in Huai'an Mansion, this is a major military matter, and it is just a grass people, and I am really powerless."
At this point, this kid is modest.
It is rumored that Yang Bo is a divine soldier descending from heaven, with the ability to subdue demons and subduing demons, without spending a single soldier, he captured two Dutch warships and captured nearly 200 red-haired devils, Han Zanzhou also thought that the rumors were not credible, but that day he was in the Nanxi River bank defense battery, watching Yang Bo test the artillery, it was really shocking, Yang Bo's black tiger cannon was more powerful than the Dutchman's cannon run.
Han Zanzhou also heard that Shimiao had a new type of musket that could shoot continuously, and the firearms in the hands of the officers and soldiers could not compete with it at all.
Yang Bo has silver, guns, cannons, and a musket battalion of 600 people, and it is said that there is a navy, and the navy has a marine battalion, which is equipped with the latest firearms developed by Shimiao.
Judging from Yang Bo's two battles against the Dutch, there is really some meaning of divine soldiers, if Yang Boken sends troops, Han Zanzhou believes that Yang Bo can really destroy Liu Er.
But the more powerful Yang Bo's force is, the more he is jealous, in the final analysis, whether it is Han Zanzhou or the emperor, they all have intentions, they both want Yang Bo's silver, and Yang Bo can be used by the imperial court, and they can't really give Yang Bo a formal military position.
Yang Bo's meaning is already very clear, take the group to fool me, no way.
The regiment general is just a temporary appointment, the military department does not record, the court does not pay, Han Zanzhou is a eunuch, mussel mouth and white teeth said this, so he made a count, but it is just an expression of attitude, the court acquiesced to the reality of Yang Bo's self-respect in Shenjiabao, and after careful study, the court did not give anything.
But this kid is not stupid, he doesn't see a rabbit or an eagle, he still has a bad temperament, he is in a hurry, so he picks on his son and doesn't do it, not only does he not send troops, but he may not give the 200,000 taels of tax silver, it really comes to that point, isn't he Han Zanzhou tossing blindly? Manager Wang, in front of the emperor, he can't afford to pay the difference, and what is even more infuriating is that Han Zanzhou has no way to take Yang Bo.
The emperor promised a garrison military position, but it was organized, and he had to go through Nanjing's military department and official department, and the procedures were complicated, and he couldn't get down for a while.
After thinking about it, Han Zan and Zhou Sisi felt that it was better to tell the truth to Yang Bo, otherwise, the two would fall out, and the final outcome would never be something he could bear.
"Okay, before our family left Beijing, the emperor promised you a garrison position, but our family made it clear that this garrison is a formal military position, and there are still a bunch of paperwork to be done in the military department, and the official appointment will be issued, and it will only be issued after Liu Er is eliminated, so you can send troops, right?"
"No, no, no." Yang Bo still shook his head, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiangwen, I heard that without the emperor's edict, the garrison can't leave the station half a step, can Brother Xiangwen have the emperor's holy purpose in hand?" ”
Yang Bo knew that the emperor didn't want to make a big deal before the matter was completed, and when Yang Bo successfully exterminated Liu Er and had military exploits, the emperor would give him another garrison military position, and it would be logical that he could bluff the mouths of those adults in the court.
Yang Bo now wants a holy decree, how can Han Zanzhou have it? Yang Bo is clearly playing tricks.
"Yang San'er, you can tell our family bluntly, what kind of calculation are you in your heart." Han Zan was annoyed and glared.
"Guerrilla, I want a guerrilla general's head street, so that going to Xuyi is in line with the rules, how about Brother Xiangwen?" Yang Bo stood up, stretched his waist, and said, "I know this, Brother Xiangwen needs to discuss with the emperor, and I will also go to Peach Blossom Island, I'll wait." ”
"You.."
Han Zanzhou was furious, Yang Bo was too unruly, this was going to be held hostage to the emperor, if he committed Long Yan, it would be a big crime to kill his head, do you know?
However, Han Zanzhou didn't say the rest of the words in the end, he had more contact with Yang Bo, and knew that Yang Bo ate soft or not hard, you came hard with him, and there was no need to talk about it.
Yang Bo paced in front of the coffee table, refusing to sit down, looking at him with a smile, obviously sending off a guest.
"Yang San'er, you don't have to make an inch, but also listen to our family's kind words and persuasion, this garrison position..." Han Zanzhou saw that Yang Bo was about to leave with his legs raised, and hurriedly said: "Let's go back and send an urgent performance to the emperor, whether it can be done or not, our family can't say well." ”
In fact, Yang Bo already knew about Chongzhen's promise to give Yang Bo the position of guard, this was what Wang Bingling told him, Han Zanzhou and Zuo Wencan talked about it in the private room of Deyue Tower, but the little maid with lupus on her face who was waiting on the side was played by Wang Bingling, Wang Bingling's disguise technique was really clever, and the two didn't notice it at all.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, it is indeed invincible.
Knowing Chongzhen's hole cards, you can deal with it calmly.
The position of garrison, Yang Bo is actually barely acceptable, but since the capture of the Burisham, Yang Bo has swelled, and now Zheng Zhilong in Mindi is a guerrilla general, Yang Bo believes that his strength has far surpassed Zheng Zhilong, why can't he also be a guerrilla general?
This can be regarded as his bad taste as a time-traveler.
"Hehehehe.." Yang Bozhi was proud, turned around and sat down on the chair, with a smile on his face.
"If you want to say that Brother Xiangwen knows how to know things, you and I are both courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, whether it succeeds or not, it will be judged by the emperor, and we must not let the traitor Liu Er hurt the friendship between us, isn't it?"
High-sounding, what is said is better than what is sung.
Do you still have the face to say that you are a Ming courtier? The rebels and thieves are pretty much the same.
Han Zanzhou was not angry, and said: "Those Dutch prisoners of war, go back to our house and discuss with Lord Zuo, the place of Dayuan, Lord Zuo said, there are tigers and leopards rampant, miasma is pervasive, it is a place where birds don't, and the court has to stick silver, what do you want to do?" ”
When Yang Bo heard this, he sighed in his heart, Dayuan is the Taiwan of the later generations, that place is too worry-free, if Han Zanzhou also has an eye of God, let him go to the future to see, there are not only birds in that place, but also tens of millions of birdmen.
Then when he returned to Daming, what should Han Zanzhou think?
An era has the limitations of an era, and Yang Bo can't criticize Han Zanzhou for his short-sightedness.
The Ming Dynasty, the Central Empire, has never paid attention to the sea frontier, to pay back the money, the dawn of the Age of Discovery, if you still rest on your laurels, ignoring the sea power, it is a sin.
"Zuo Wencan is a mediocre official, what does he know." Zuo Wencan's performance in Shenjiabao made Yang Bo hate it in his heart, and there were no good words for export, "Although Dayuan is an island, the area is not small, and three Dayuan will catch up with one Zhejiang, where the place is humid and hot, and it is the most suitable for planting sugarcane." ”
Yang Bo saw that Han Zanzhou was dazed, so he stretched out a palm and shook it in front of Han Zanzhou's eyes, "Five hundred thousand taels." ”
"What do you mean?" Han Zan asked with a confused face.
"It can bring 500,000 taels of taxes to the imperial court every year."
"Is that true?" Han Zanzhou's jaw suddenly fell to the ground, and he suddenly stood up and exclaimed.
"Don't be impatient, Brother Xiangwen," Yang Bo pulled Han Zanzhou, asked him to sit down, and said with a smile: "You are the emperor's confidant, tell the emperor, you go to Dayuan to be a governor, I am responsible for planting sugar cane, and I guarantee to earn 500,000 taels of silver for the emperor every year, how about it?" ”
"Yang San'er, you can't do it, this is a national event, do you think it's a child's house?"
Han Zanzhou angrily blamed: "If this is the case, our family will accept this Dutch prisoner of war for the emperor." ”
When Yang Bo heard this, he thought in his heart.
Now there is a problem, the first batch of more than 50 Dutch prisoners of war, he has responded to You Suqing, Yang Bo has learned that You Suqing also has a secret line in Catholicism, this matter has to start from the Nanjing case more than ten years ago, when the imperial court killed a lot of Western missionaries, those who believed in God Nanjing natives were also implicated, scattered in all directions, but some of them were secretly protected by the Wenxiang Sect, that is, since then, the Wenxiang Sect has been linked to Catholicism.
Yang Bo arrested Wan Baine, and a Westerner named Deng Yuhan asked people to find Yang Bo everywhere, wanting to ransom those Dutch prisoners of war, and wrote a letter to Xu Guangqi, the courtier.
After coming and going, You Suqing got the news.
Since Chongzhen's accession to the throne, because of Xu Guangqi's advice, he has attached great importance to the Taixi people, and You Suqing has also sensitively seized an opportunity to make a secret deal.
This is why Zuo Wencan almost lost his official position, but Xie Wenzhi was a blessing in disguise and actually sat in the position of acting governor, which was the result of You Suqing's efforts in secret.
In other words, You Suqing's meaning is to let Xie Wenzhi have a meritorious performance in dealing with Dutch prisoners of war, so that Xie Wenzhi can remove the word "generation" from his head in the future and officially assume the post of governor of Haizhou.
Xie Wenzhi is his own person, and the benefits of having him as the governor of Haizhou are self-evident.
Yang Bo thought for a while, and then said: "Regarding the Dutch prisoners of war, Xie Wenzhi of Haizhou has been negotiating with me before you, it is best to let Xie Wenzhi come forward to say hello to the imperial court, Brother Xiangwen has the right to play secretly, and it is most appropriate to operate it secretly." ”
Speaking of which, Dutch prisoners of war are also considered diplomatic matters, and the court has a special person in charge, Han Zanzhou is a eunuch, and it is not appropriate to participate in it openly, but he is the emperor's person, and it is naturally indispensable to secretly manipulate it.
Han Zan thought for a while, and felt that Yang Bo was right, "Then you have to accompany our family to Haizhou?" ”
Han Zanzhou knew that Yang Bo planned to go to Peach Blossom Island in Zhoushan, so he used an inquiring tone.
"Since Brother Xiangwen has invited me, I will go to Haizhou. However, I will soon go to sea by boat, time is very tight, and there are still some things to deal with at hand, Brother Xiangwen can take the first step and talk to Master Xie first, and I will arrive later. ”
"Yang San'er, aren't you going with our family?" Han Zanzhou was surprised: "When you go to Haizhou, how can we get in touch?" ”
Yang Bo smiled: "I have my own way, Brother Xiangwen just has to go." ”
