Wang Zhiren's mood these days was originally good, until the news of the defeat and killing of Jiang Yuntai, the general soldier of Zhenjiang, reached Suzhou two days ago!

The relationship between him and Jiang Yuntai is not close, but because they are in the same situation, they have the feeling of being sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Although he has been in the army for many years and has become a general officer, Gao Jie and Huang Degong are different from those who fought with a knife and a shot, he relied on the promotion of his cousin Wang Zhixin to be promoted step by step, from a junior officer in the Beijing camp to Su Song's general soldier.

Su Song is rich in the world, there are no Liukou and no Tartars nearby, and the only threat is Gu Sanmazi, a water thief at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

However, a water thief like Gu San Mazi is a "rich thief", not the kind of poor and vicious thief. The goal of the thief is not to grab a stuttering to survive, but to block the river and charge for Zhao'an - to get rich first, then to be an official, and to be Zheng Zhilong on the Yangtze River.

This road of thieves will not come to break Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, at most they will harass the coast as a bargaining chip for Zhao'an.

Therefore, Wang Zhiren's job in Su Song's tenure was mainly to cover smuggling, but he didn't make money from maritime businessmen like Zheng Zhilong and Shen Tingyang!

Those seas will send him money?

Of course!

He is in charge of the defense of the Second Mansion of Susong and guards the mouth of the Yangtze River!

Whether it is porcelain from Jingdezhen, silk and cotton from Nanjing, Yangzhou and Suzhou, or salt from Huaiyang Erfu. As long as you want to pass through the Yangtze River estuary, you have to pass Wang Zhiren's pass!

If he wants to get stuck and not let it go, will Zheng Zhilong and Shen Tingyang send an armed fleet to fight? That's a rebellion with a torn face.

So he made a lot of money when he was in Su Song's general army. However, before the fall of Beijing in March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, there were many people who had to share the money he made! Not much really fell into his pocket.

And after the fall of Beijing, no one cares and no one asks! Not only can he pocket all the money he has earned, but he can also appoint subordinates and recruit troops on his own, as if he is a hegemon. Even the two prefects of Suzhou and Songjiang, who originally pressed him, don't have to pay attention to it.

Everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, and everyone makes their own money!

Even if Xingchao went south to Yangzhou, Wang Zhiren's good life still did not change. The imperial court out of Beijing did not have the authority it used to have, and there was a confrontation between the Xing dynasty and the Nanjing garrison.

In the eyes of him, his cronies, and his friends, this is the time to sell at a price! Xingchao and Nanjing, I want to win him over, the big warlord who supports the army and entrenches in Susong, right? His requirements are not high, as long as he can make a few more years of fishing on Su Song's territory, he will be satisfied.

And the Nanjing Garrison Division did as he wished, ordering him to guard Susong, protect the territory and the people, guard against pirates, and not leave without permission. Just when he was waiting for the government to send someone to win him over, the bad news came.

The Xing Dynasty stationed in Yangzhou suddenly dealt a ruthless blow to Jiang Yuntai, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang!

5,000 firecrackers and 1,500 cavalry crossed the river from Guazhou, landed at Jinshan, and then rushed straight to Zhenjiang City.

Jiang Yuntai, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, was dizzy in a hurry, and actually ordered the troops to resist behind closed doors!

As soon as his men closed the gates, they were terrified by the murderous ironclad cavalry and firecrackers. After a burst of firecrackers, the soldiers defending the city fled, surrendered, and some opened the door to meet the surrender.

Jiang Yuntai, the general soldier of Zhenjiang, had no choice but to flee with his family, wanting to hide on Wang Zhiren's territory. As a result, he was quickly caught up by the prince's iron horse, and the whole family was escorted to Yangzhou...... It is estimated that there is less luck and less luck!

Wang Zhiren knew that Jiang Yuntai had also sent things to Xingzai, and like him, he wanted to wait for a price between Nanjing and Yangzhou. I didn't expect the Xing Dynasty side to bid at all, they sent troops!

And the soldiers who are really capable of fighting are dispatched!

Just when Wang Zhiren was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, Zhenjiang came to Tangma and asked him to go to Baoshan to wait for his cousin Wang Zhixin.

Wang Xinxin is carrying the king's order this time, and he is here to convey the decree of the prince of Fujun!

"You're dizzy! Who do you think you are? Is it Gao Jie? Is it Huang Degong? Is it Zuo Liangyu? The total number of people is out! Your boss came to you from our family, can it be the same? Speaking of which, that Jiang Yuntai is a little stronger than you! The result? It was over in less than half a day, and the house was raided, and all of them were arrested and taken to Yangzhou. None of the men in the family will survive, and they will all be killed! The ...... who wants to kill the head"

In a house in Baoshan, Wang Zhixin saw his cousin who was dazed, and he was scolded and frightened.

"Big brother, don't scare the little brother," Wang Zhiren was still able to calm down, and he was really a little timid, "Now there are many ministers and junior brothers in the Quartet, and the Chitose Lord will not kill them, right?" ”

"You, you ......" Wang Zhixin was scolded by his brother, and his face turned a little blue with anger, "You fool!" Of course, Chitose Ye couldn't kill them all! But his army of 5,000 is heading towards Su Song, if you dare to resist, it will be the chicken that killed the chicken to show the monkey! Are you going to be a chicken or a monkey? ”

To be a chicken or to be a monkey? That's a problem!

Wang Zhiren thought about it seriously and replied, "Then I'll be a monkey!" ”

"Then hurry up and pack up the sailors and the family, and go to Yangzhou with our family to ask for guilt!" Wang Zhixin said, "Suzhou and Songjiang will be handed over to Qiu Futai to take over." ”

Qiu Yu, the governor, has a lot of power, and he is also in charge of the army and the people! Now is an extraordinary time, and when it is time to delegate power, it must be released!

Therefore, the governors he appointed, including Su Guansheng, Lu Zhenfei, Fang Gongyue and the incoming Qiu Yu, all had full power to manage the army and the people. However, none of their jurisdictions are as large as a single province, in fact, they are two provinces.

Su Guansheng is in charge of Denglai Second Mansion, Lu Zhenfei is in charge of Huaiyang Second Mansion, Fang Gongyue is in charge of Chang Er Mansion, and Fang Yu is in charge of Susong Second Mansion. The territory is not big, but the authority is very high, and they are all governors and towns! At the same time, it also knows a house.

Of course, although the governor and the mayor are held by one person, these two positions belong to two systems. The governor is a civil official, and above him are the six ministries of the cabinet. The general town is the military attaché, that is, the general soldier, and the superior is the generalissimo of the Fu army. The subordinate subordinates of the governor are the political envoys, the envoys and the prefects. The subordinate level of the general town is the Zhuwei under its jurisdiction and the marine corps attached to the general town division.

By the way, the Huaiyang regimental training pulled up by Lu Zhenfei will later be reorganized into the Huaiyang Naval Division, the First Division of the New Army and the Huaiyang Patrol. Among them, the 1st Division of the New Army of the Republic of China, which has more than 8,000 people, will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Generalissimo's Office, and will be the sixth division after the left, center, and right 5th divisions in the front and rear of the New Army.

And Wang Zhiren, who was about to lose his military power, was unwilling, looked at his brother and asked, "Then ...... my money?"

Wang Zhixin glared at his brother: "You don't want your money Chitose Lord, he doesn't want your life, Chitose Lord only needs your military power!" But the land you occupied in Su Song had to be handed over without an acre left! ”

......

At the same time that Wang Zhiren handed over the military power of Susong and Song to Qiu Yu to take over, Huang Binqing on Zhoushan Island in Ningbo Mansion also faced the same problem.

Lu Zhenfei and Zheng Sen came to Shenjiamen Port on Zhoushan Island on a sand boat of the Sand Boat Gang. The two of them came to persuade Huang Binqing to hand over his military power, and then go to Xingchao to serve as the commander of the naval guard.

The commander of the Navy Guard is not small, but the real power is not large. It is not even as good as Wu Xiang and Cao Youyi, because there is no "navy" in the troops directly under the Generalissimo's Office. The "navy" of Shen Tingyang, the governor of Beiyang, was contracted by concession and was not under the control of the navy. Therefore, there are only two inland river fleets under the navy, the Yangtze River Naval Division and the Huaiyang Naval Division, which will be established soon.

Of course, the strength of these two fleets is very weak, and the Huaiyang Naval Division only has Cao boats. In addition to the cao boats and sand boats, only the two centipede boats brought by Gu San Mazi in the Yangtze River Naval Division are combat-effective.

Even if Huang Binqing is willing to hand over his 800 boat operators and two centipede boats, the Yangtze River Naval Division only has four centipede boats and 1,600 elite sailors who are truly combative.

And the firearms on these four centipede ships plus one piece, that is, 8 12-pounder Hongyi cannons and 160 turtledove foot firearms.

But Huang Binqing didn't dare not hand over the military power, because Zheng Sen arrived, and he was also the senior brother of Zhu Cihong and Prince Zhu, so he was a henchman among his henchmen!

With Zhu Cihong alone, Huang Binqing may dare to carry it, but if you add Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of Nanyang and Dongyang, he will not dare to resist.

Moreover, Zheng Sen also gave Huang Binqing generous conditions on behalf of Zhu Cihong to serve as the commander of the Generalissimo's Mansion Navy Guard!
