Xiong Wencan accidentally found a talented person today, and he is in a good mood at the moment. looked at the water leak in the house, and before I realized it, I realized that I had talked with Huang Zhicheng for a long time, so Lao Xiong and Yan Yue said to Huang Juren: "In this case, Zhicheng will go back and wait for news?" ”

As he spoke, Lao Xiong prepared to order some soup to send off the guests—there was a string of people waiting for him to meet him.

"The students still have a piece of Chen here, and Lord Wanwang has a regular axe in his spare time." Huang Ping saw that the old bear was about to drive people away, so he quickly took out a piece of Chen from his sleeve pocket and presented it.

This report was prepared by Huang Zhicheng himself on the basis of the outline and materials sent by the big office.

The content of the report was written in accordance with the habit of the ancients, in the format of upper, middle and lower policies, and it was mixed with some false information and judgments - it was impossible for Huang Juren to collect all the accurate information about Fujian in Hangzhou.

The core idea of this report is to point out from a strategic point that appeasing Zheng Zhilong is not the best choice.

In history, after Zheng Zhilong was cared for, he really settled down and began to operate his own one-third of an acre of land. When the Qing army arrived in Xiamen N years later, the heroes of the past had already worn off their sharpness in wealth and wealth, and the end was ugly.

Therefore, Huang Ping only listed the appeasement of Lao Zheng as the middle policy in Tiao Chen, and by the way, he focused on the harm of appeasing Zheng Zhilong: once Zheng Zhilong in his hometown gains power, if Lao Zheng raises the anti-flag one day in the future, then it must be a rotten situation in which the traitors of Fujian and Guangdong compete for wings - Xiong Wencan will not be able to eat and walk around no matter where he is at that time.

...... The traversal knows Zheng Zhilong's character, but Xiong Wencan in 1628 doesn't know.

Therefore, Huang Ping pointed out another best strategy in the article: to appease a pirate force that had no roots on the ground in Fujian and Guangdong, and kill Zheng Zhilong after supporting it. Although this strategy is a little difficult at the beginning, it is once and for all, Xiong Wencan does not have to worry about repeating it in the future.

Of course, Tiao Chenli didn't say a word about the crossing forces that occupied the big people - Huang Juren still "thought" that it was the red hair who occupied the big people, so Tiao Chenli just took "borrowing teachers to help suppress" as a backup plan, and lightly mentioned it.

The main purpose of this article is, of course, to further highlight Huang Juren's talents, and secondly, to plant a nail in Lao Xiong's place first - when certain figures and forces appear in front of Lao Xiong in the future, Huang Juren will be able to express his support in a bright and open manner: "Look, I have already analyzed it in the report, and it seems that at the moment, this group of people is suitable." ”

......

Xiong Wencan was Huang Ping, whom he met on the fourth day after coming to Zhejiang.

On the evening of the fifth day, Huang Juren, who went home to wait for news, was once again called to the official post. This time was different, Xiong Wencan met him in the study, and after the two discussed a certain note, Huang Ping received a letter of appointment from Xiong Da on the spot.

Well, this time it's time to kneel. The letter of appointment is equivalent to determining the master-slave relationship, similar to Zhuge Caotang's kneeling Liu Bei.

After playing a happy game of Huang Pingyue's kneeling bear, the guests and hosts were very satisfied, and then Huang Ping reported his work time.

Now that the most important task has been completed, Huang Juren can arrange the time in the future: Xiong Wencan can stay in the post house for two or three days at most, and this time is not enough for Huang Ping to handle the marriage anyway, so Xiong Wencan's army will set off on schedule and go all the way to Fuzhou along the ancient official road.

Officials will not take the sea route to take office, and the large army will face more than 1,000 miles of official roads in the future, and most of them are mountain roads in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian. When the old bear spent more than ten or twenty days grinding to Fuzhou, Huang Ping had already completed the marriage, and when the time came, he would take the transport fleet from Tangzhuang to the south and go straight to Fuzhou by sea, and the time would be about the same.

......

After Xiong Wencan came to Zhejiang, he met with the officialdom in the first three days, sent people to show off his talents in the second two days, and finally had time to meet with businessmen on the sixth day.

Unlike in public, when meeting in private, the officials are quite polite to the businessmen - after all, everyone is sitting in front of them, and there must be silver in their pockets, and no one will get along with the silver.

Bear Nature is also well aware of the truth, so today the first one to turn over the brand of the bear road: without it, only courtesy!

Rao is Xiong Wencan's official position is well-informed, and he was dazzled by the gift sent by the businessman surnamed Xiong last night: bright light, no smoke oil lamp, delicate crystal mirror, and the string of beads...... These rare treasures really made the old bear take a breath at that time.

You know, this is the first time I have seen him, and he has not said anything serious about it, Xiong Wencan is old and sophisticated, and he knows that this family is afraid that he is not an ordinary businessman, so early this morning, he turned over the sign of Xiong Dao, intending to see what the origin of this person is.

"The grass people, Xiong Dao, knock to see Lord Fujun." After Xiong Daobiao finished a set of kowtow procedures, Xiong Wencan, who was at the top, had to greet his friend Xiong to get up, sit down, and watch tea.

"Student Meng Sheng'en patrols Fujian, I don't know what kind of livelihood my friend Xiong does in Fujian?"

Xiong Dao asked to see his family today, originally he came to Liangzi, and the time was tight - there was a string of people waiting for Lao Xiong to meet him, so he was straight to the point at the moment, and he didn't hide it: "Don't hide it from your lord, the grass people are now gathering with some friends on Dayuan Island, and they do some small business on weekdays to make a living." ”

"Well, Oyuan Island. What the? Oyuan Island? Daring! Are you waiting for the 'Helan people' to visit your eyes? ”

...... Xiong Da, who was originally smiling, was slightly startled at first after reacting to where the big man was, and then pointed at Xiong Dao and asked loudly.

"My lord did not know that the Dutch on Dayuan Island had been persuaded by the brothers to return to Bacheng as early as last year. Now on that Dayuan Island, all of them are as serious as me, and there is no one Hongyi. ”

"What? Persuade back? Xiong Wencan grabbed the key word, thought about it and asked, "But there is a fight?" ”

"Yes. With muskets against muskets, the brothers first broke the Dutch gun array, and then broke the Dutch walled city, originally planning to kill their peers, but later they were worried that the business was still important, so the brothers let the Dutch horses go, and ordered the rest to go back to Bacheng to transport goods, and in the future, they would do business honestly. ”

......

Hearing this, Xiong Wencan slowly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip - he needed time to digest the information given by Xiong Dao.

After stroking his beard and muttering for a few breaths, Lao Xiong first denied the possibility that this person was crazy, and then looked at this businessman who behaved a little strangely, and then thought of those treasures in the back room that were obviously not Chinese style, Lao Xiong followed his train of thought all the way, and gradually understood.

"In that case, you will tell me where you came from."

"Dare to disobey?" Xiong Dao smiled slightly at this time, and according to the routine compiled by the big office, he told the origin of the crossing forces.

The origin of this is very simple, in short, the crossing force is also a group of "maritime merchants" similar to Zheng Zhilong, although the scale is smaller, but because the crossing can trade with the Westerners to get more sophisticated weapons, so the force is strong, and the newly rising forces are now based on Dayuan Island, and are trying to get involved in coastal trade.

As for the organizational structure of the traversal, Xiong Dao talked about a template of "the lord and the country are suspicious": the young leader is surnamed Cao, who belongs to the second generation of bandits who have just taken over, and is now assisted by an old courtier surnamed Xia in power.

This is to avoid some risks in the future, for example, Lao Xiong has to see Cao someone's face, and when the time comes, he will be internally unstable, and he can prevaricate the past if he can't leave people. In addition, you can also give Lao Xiong a little reverie by the way: There are still hidden dangers in these people, in case they turn their faces one day, how about waiting for me to use a means......

After listening to the description of the family, Xiong Wencan showed a smile of "as I expected", and then, Lord Xiong finally asked the most important line of the day: "What do you want?" ”

Xiong Dao had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but at this moment, I saw that his attitude was excited, his voice was full of emotion, and he clenched his fists with both hands: "We are willing to attach the grass people to the tail of the adults, cleanse the ugliness of the group, and calm the sea." ”

"Hahaha......" Xiong Wencan raised his head and laughed when he heard this.

......

Two days later, in front of the official post of Desheng Bridge, the right capital Yushi, Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan and his entourage, were preparing to set off into Fujian.

Lord Xiong is obviously in a good mood today, not only laughing with Huang Juren who came to see him off, but also bowing slightly to a businessman who is a little far away before getting on the sedan chair - it is not easy to make such a gesture with the respect of Xiong Futai.

Xiong Wencan certainly has reason to be happy. This trip to Hangzhou stopped, and unexpectedly there was an extra cadre under his command, which was really unexpected by him.

The situation in Fang Jin's Minhai is treacherous, far from being explained by the few words in the chapter, at least in his current opinion, the strategy of Fu Zheng, which had been set when he left Beijing, was slightly manipulative.

Even the Haikou in the remote Yizhou knew that they had come to contact and defect early, which showed that the situation in the Minhai Sea was not dominated by the Zheng family.

The obscure mood of the uncertain future when he left Beijing has disappeared, and Lord Xiong now thinks: This trip to Fufu is a very good omen. Looking at the businessman who was standing solemnly outside the sedan window, with a blessed expression on his face, and then thinking about the rare treasures in his luggage, Master Xiong couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly at this moment.

Looking at the disappearing back of Xiong Wencan and his entourage, Xiong Dao, who was doing a farewell gesture in front of the official post, finally breathed a sigh of relief, dusted off his sleeves and left: Up to this moment, there is nothing to do with him about Lao Xiong's follow-up tasks. The big office had already sent special personnel to Fuzhou to set up an intelligence network and a business station, and the specifications were the same as those in Hangzhou, and when Lao Xiong arrived in Fuzhou, other comrades would naturally come forward to contact him.

Comrade Xiong Dao left in a dashing manner, but Comrade Huang Ping was still standing in front of the post house and fell into thought: This is going to Fuzhou? Didn't you say that it was good to lurk in Jiangnan until the day when Wang Shi went ashore...... Now it's time to sit down, what should I do with those beautiful maids at home? How far is Fuzhou spicy, is it inconvenient to go together? If you stay, what if you are sold by the eldest woman?

......

Mr. Huang took a sedan chair home with a melancholy face that day.

Of course, even if he is melancholy, life still has to pass, and he has to start making some preparations for the long journey now.

The first is to instruct the housekeeper to prepare to sell people - after the wedding, some subordinates who have not signed the death deed can sell some appropriately, and the master is not there, why do you keep so many people?

The second is the safe: the eldest woman who legally has more than the right of the male owner to control the back house will enter the door soon, and the master will go out for a long time after that, and this thing can't stay in the house. So the day after Xiong Wencan left, Zhao Liuzhao, the manager of the Huang Mansion, drove away from the corner gate, and no one knew what was pulled on the carriage.
