A pleasant conversation can shorten the time, especially if both parties have a common interest.

So when Song Jia finally waited for "Cao Chuan" to return from Fuya's back street, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

After only a few hours of not being seen, Xiong Qi, who led the way, seemed to have a much better attitude. not only diligently helped Cao Haizhu to open the sedan curtain, but also hung a lantern with the governor's yamen written on it on the head of the sedan chair.

So, Song Jia and his entourage returned to the courtyard safely, and the patrolmen they met along the way did not come forward to interrogate them after seeing the lanterns.

After returning to the house, Song Jia, who had already expected that the summit should be effective from the length of someone's stay in the yamen and the change in Xiong Qi's attitude before and after, heard Zhang Dongdong's good news as expected.

That night, the radio waves not only shuttled over Fuzhou City, but also crossed the ocean, and the people who traveled far away in Dayuan and Hangzhou also received good news at the same time.

Early the next morning, Huang Ping was summoned by Xiong Wencan.

Huang Juren, who had already learned the talking points of last night from the radio, was not stage frightened in front of Lao Xiong at the moment, and talked eloquently: with a seemingly fair attitude, a seemingly fair comparison, and a seemingly fair evaluation, Lao Zheng was hacked again without a trace.

Lao Xiong's loss is that he didn't mix with the network of the next generation, and he is not very familiar with these bright and black routines, so he accidentally fell on the road After listening to Huang Juren's unique style of strategic analysis, Lao Xiong finally decided to continue to meet with the adults tonight.

This time it is a double protagonist: Lao Xiong not only wants to meet Cao Chuan, but also wants to meet Cao Chuan's general: Sha Zhengming.

When Huang Ping came out of Lao Xiong's study, the whole person was floating, and the "card position" plan started from Hangzhou to insist on this step, and the biggest hurdle had just passed!

Xiong Wencan's ability to consider meeting with the generals proves that he is already planning specific actions after recruiting An. This belongs to the transition from the strategic level to the tactical level, if Lao Xiong still has relatively big concerns about appeasing the crossing forces, he will not meet with the opponent's generals.

Just like a bubble girl, the most important thing is not to papapa, but to hold hands for the first time inconspicuously, which seems to be unimportant, which is the key link to decide whether you can finally papapa.

After Huang Zanhua came out of Lao Xiong's study, he saw that it was still early, so he went home first.

Because Master Huang brought his family and some ulterior secrets, Huang Ping did not live in the yamen.

The house in the yamen is dilapidated and old, and at most he will be given a small courtyard, this, it can't be opened, Huang Ping doesn't say anything else, the big and small study rooms are necessary.

So Mr. Huang, who was not bad for money, bought a three-entry house near the yamen at a high price.

With the small maid and the long with the fuya, I didn't go far to my own yard. After the old man returned home, he went to the back house, and after saying hello to his beautiful wife, he went to the small study in the side courtyard.

The people in the family knew their master's taboos, so no one dared to disturb him at this time. Leaving the little servant to guard the hospital door, Huang Ping took out the car radio from the locked cabinet after entering the study, and then put on headphones and started calling. After quickly connecting Fuzhou Station and the courtyard, Huang Ping spent 5 minutes to report the content of the morning with Lao Xiong, and then turned off the locker and left.

After Master Huang did something unspeakable, the whole person relaxed. When I went back to the house, I talked to my wife for a while, and then instructed the maid to take out a box of Anji white tea sent by my father-in-law not long ago and pack it.

It was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and Master Huang saw that the time was about the same, so after saying that he would not go home for dinner at noon, he sat in a sedan chair and staggered to the Yamen of the Political Secretary.

The Yamen of the Political Secretary is not far from the Futai Yamen. In Fuzhou City in the Ming Dynasty, the official offices were basically in the area north of Maoying Bridge and west of Jianchi. Huang Ping took a sedan chair all the way, not far south from the Futai Yamen, and after passing the mighty military gate, it was the Yamen of the Political Division.

Seeing Huang Juren who Shi Shiran got down from the sedan chair, the door of the side door quickly put on a smile on his face, and stepped forward to say goodbye: "Master Huang is here!" ”

Huang Ping nodded, took out a piece of broken silver and threw it over: "Lord Fang Bo is here?" ”

"Yes, yes, the lord is in the court."

"Oh, it's not on duty yet, okay, you feel free, I'll go myself."

Leaving the long entourage to chat in the gatehouse, Master Huang took a small servant and walked straight to the back office.

Fujian's current political envoy Zuobu is called Cai Shanji.

Cai Shanji is a native of Deqing after Wucheng, Zhejiang, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Cai's family is a Deqing family.

Cai Shanji once worked with Fei Zhaoyuan and Pan Shixuan as "the true and honest officials in Tiaozhong", and his family history is very long.

And Huang Ping's cheap father-in-law, Master Zhong, is a world friend with Cai Shanji's house, and the two families have dealt with each other since Cai Hualong, Cai Shanji's father.

After Huang Ping came to Fuzhou, relying on Master Zhong's letters and his big-footed wife, he easily got mixed up as a godnephew from the political envoy.

And Cai Shanji also has a good impression of Huang Ping, a young man who talks extraordinarily: not everyone can get the position of praise painting next to Xiong Wencan, and he himself has more than a dozen staff, which is very different.

Huang Ping came all the way to the middle gate and stopped: Lao Cai was still working in the main hall, and it was not convenient to go to the back house at this time. So he went to the pavilion, where a few Qing guests were often playing chess.

Sure enough, there were people in the gazebo.

After playing chess for half an hour, and finally waited for Lao Cai to get off work, Master Huang hurriedly intercepted the boss halfway, presented a bag of tea from his hometown, and then followed Lao Cai to the back house for dinner.

Cai Shanji is over 50 years old this year and has a clear appearance. Because his wife is in Deqing's hometown, there are only two concubines in Fuzhou. Seeing that his nephew was here today, Lao Cai put a few dishes on his own and sat alone with Huang Ping.

At this moment, Huang Ping finally waited for the opportunity to take eye medicine here in Lao Cai.

The political envoys of the Ming Dynasty had considerable power, somewhat similar to the position of senior officials in later generations, although the position of the political envoys was lower than that of the governor, but they each had jurisdiction, not a pure relationship between superiors and subordinates.

By the Qing Dynasty, this situation would slowly evolve: the envoy would become a direct subordinate of the governor.

And Cai Shanji is now the political envoy of Fujian Zuobu, which can be said to be one person under ten thousand people. Except for Lao Xiong, the secretary in charge of the army, other civil policies must be completed with Lao Cai's nod.

Therefore, Lao Xiong's recent highly confidential action of appeasing the crossing public was to greet Lao Cai in advance, and he had to ensure Lao Cai's cooperation in civil affairs after the appeasement.

Huang Ping is here to reveal the news today.

First of all, Huang Ping revealed the process of appeasement during the banquet.

Secondly, Huang Ping made it a little more difficult to appease. In other words, Huang Ping "inadvertently" exaggerated Zheng Zhilong's winning side, and narrowed the advantage of crossing the crowd by a little bit.

In this way, in Cai Shanji's ears, at present, Zheng Zhilong and Cao Chuan, who are appeased by both sides, seem to still have an advantage in crossing the crowd, but the advantage is not big.

Well, having said this, Huang Ping knew that the time had come, so he didn't say more, and after eating and drinking, he said goodbye in a slippery manner.

As for Lao Cai's side, before the old man could think about it clearly, in the afternoon of the same day, the killer of a certain force came: Xu Xinsu, who had disappeared for many days, came to the door to see Lao Cai.

As a large channel businessman in the Zhangquan area, Xu Jianghe once served as the prefect of Putian and Cai Shanji, the prefect of Quanzhou, is quite familiar.

The filial piety on weekdays is not mentioned, that is, Xu Xinsu has glued the coalition forces and Zheng Zhilong many times, and there is also Cai Shanji's acquiescence and support behind this. You must know that the most robbed by Zheng Zhilong's bandits is Lao Cai's territory in Quanzhou.

Xu opened the way with the total silver, presented the gift list, and soon met Lao Cai.

The next moment is the cheating part of hugging the thighs. Mr. Xu's task today is to sell miserably.

Mr. Xu not only told the tragic situation of his family running away to Fuzhou, but also told Lao Cai that now that after Zheng Zhilong's gang gained power, they wantonly plundered the coastal areas, especially in the Quanzhou area where Lao Cai once served as the prefect.

As for this period of time in history, Lao Zheng is releasing goodwill through various channels, including going ashore to rob without hurting people, and giving money to poor ghosts, of course, Xu Jiang does not know.

After Lao Cai appeased Xu Zong, he sent him back first.

Then Lao Cai fell into deep thought.

Xu reminded him of the cry when he was leaving: "All the people of Zhangquan are ruthless, Zheng is in the bones, Lord Fang Bo, don't let this fang be caressed, and we will have no place to stand up."

Speaking of which, the relationship between Cai Shanji and Lao Zheng is still deep. You must know that Zheng Zhilong's father, Zheng Shaozu, was in charge of the warehouse by Cai Shanji, the Taishou of Quanzhou.

However, no one could have imagined that the son of a humble treasury official would bring such a big trouble to Fujian officialdom in the future: especially the prefects of Zhangquan and Erzhou, these two positions are the most sitting.

In real history, after Cai Shanji came to Fujian after Xiong Wencan came, he finally assisted Xiong Wencan to appease Zheng Zhilong. No way, it's still the same sentence: you don't have a choice.

And Cai Shanji, who was born in a famous family and once snubbed the grassroots Zheng Zhilong when they met, and used tricks to fool Lao Zheng, there is no doubt that he deeply hates this person in his heart.

Cai Shanji sat in the hall and thought for a long time.

When he finally combined the information provided by Huang Ping at noon with the words that Xu Xinsu cried about, Lao Cai naturally made a decision at this moment: "Come here, prepare a sedan chair, and go to Fu Ya!" ”

In the afternoon of the same day, dressed in a formal red official robe, with a flag in front of him to open the way, and Cai Shanji, the political secretary of Fujian Zuobu, who was accompanied by his own soldiers, officially visited the governor Xiong Wencan.

"I don't know what happened to Boda Cai Shanji's words?" In the main hall of the governor's yamen, after retreating left and right, Xiong Wencan, who was also dressed in an official robe, asked.

"My lord, that Zheng Zhilong is capricious and capricious. Now that he is powerful, the traitors of Fujian and Guangdong are congregation, and they must not appease this fang. ”

Xiong Wencan: "".
