Chapter 212: Ready to Go
As Guan Yu and Xu Chu began to order troops, Yang Fei, the commander of Weihaiwei on the side, was immediately a little dumbfounded, he knew that as soon as these people left, his brothers in Weihaiwei would be completely finished, so Yang Fei shouted in pain:
"No!"
"I promised the prince!"
"Lend Weihaiwei to the sea port and lend it to the prince!"
"Please keep your promise!"
"Don't hurt my Weihaiwei soldiers!"
Zhu Hao listened to Yang Fei's words, turned his head to look at Yang Fei, and said with a slight smile:
"Commander Yang, did you agree to finish soon?"
"This king is not a murderer!"
"How can you attack your fellow brothers?"
"This king is also helpless just now!"
"Since Commander Yang is willing to cooperate with this king, this king will naturally not hurt anyone!"
Zhu Hao said and said to Guan Yu and Xu Chu, who had already got on the horse:
"Two generals, go slowly!"
"The king's order just now is canceled!"
In fact, Zhu Hao just wanted to scare this Yang Fei, but if this Yang Fei really didn't let go in the end, Zhu Hao would really take extreme measures, because he was eager to fly to the battlefield in Liaodong immediately, and naturally he was unwilling to delay for a minute or a second, but fortunately, Yang Fei agreed to Zhu Hao's request at a critical moment, which avoided a bloody conflict.
Although Yang Fei was forced to agree to Zhu Hao's request, Yang Fei's impression of this powerful letter king was completely reduced to the bottom at this moment.
However, Zhu Hao didn't care about this, because Zhu Hao just wanted to borrow Weihaiwei's port wharf, not to make friends with this Weihaiwei commander.
After Yang Fei agreed, Zhu Hao took Yang Fei to the Weihaiwei command post, and when he arrived at the command post, Zhu Hao opened his mouth and said to Yang Fei:
"Commander Yang, you go in first and let all your people withdraw from Weihaiwei!"
"After all the king's men and horses board the ship, you are returning to Weihaiwei!"
Zhu Hao's request is actually extremely excessive, but Zhu Hao doesn't want people to know that he has such a dark line as Zheng Zhilong in his hands, especially he doesn't want those Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian in the court to know about it, because if these people know about it, they may not be able to arrange Zhu Hao in front of Zhu Hao's emperor brother! Zhu Hao didn't want to make unnecessary trouble for himself, so Zhu Hao had to let Yang Fei's men and horses all withdraw from Weihaiwei.
Sure enough, after Zhu Hao's words were finished, Yang Fei's face leaked a look of displeasure, although he was afraid in his heart, Zhu Hao attacked Weihaiwei, but in the face of Zhu Hao's rude request, Yang Fei still opened his mouth to refuse after a while:
"Lord Wang, your request is a bit excessive!"
"The last general is the commander of Weihaiwei, how can he leave his post without permission?"
"Lord Wang, if you want to use the port, you won't stop the prince in the end!"
"You let the last general quit Weihaiwei, how will the last general explain to the imperial court in the future!"
Zhu Hao listened to Yang Fei's words, and just wanted to say something, Cheng Yanjin on the side was not happy, and shouted directly at Yang Fei:
"Hey, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"You can do what the prince tells you to do!"
"What are you bothering about?"
"Do you still want to taste it, your grandfather Cheng is amazing?"
Cheng Yanjin picked up the gossip Xuanhua axe in his hand as he spoke, and looked at Yang Fei coldly.
Yang Fei is more or less afraid of Cheng Biting Jin's temperament of doing things if he doesn't agree, at this moment he is in the camp of others, and he is controlled by others, even if he is beaten, it is for nothing, so after Yang Fei weighed the pros and cons, he wisely chose to shut up.
Zhu Hao looked at Yang Fei and stopped talking, and then said:
"Since Commander Yang has no opinion, then do what this king says!"
"But this king has to remind you, if you play something with this king, don't blame this king for attacking Weihaiwei!"
Yang Fei listened to Zhu Hao's words, and secretly said in his heart:
", when will Ben agree to quit Weihaiwei, you have thought about it, is it still useful for Ben to object?"
"It's really special to have any subordinates, there is a prince, the arrogance of this traitor who is full of dirty words, is completely learned from this king of letters!"
Yang Fei's belly slandered Zhu Hao didn't know, and Zhu Hao was not in the mood to think about what Yang Fei thought again, what he wanted to think about now was to get on the boat quickly and go to Sanshan Haikou.
Yang Fei slandered this Zhu Hao in his heart, riding on horseback, he didn't move at all, Zhu Hao looked at Yang Fei who was still stunned on the horse, and then turned his head and asked:
"Commander Yang, do you have any questions?"
"If there is no problem, then hurry up and do what the king instructs!"
"This king is in a hurry! There's no time to waste here! β
Yang Fei listened to Zhu Hao's words, and secretly said in his heart: "There is a problem with Ben Jiang, do you listen to Ben Jiang?" β
Yang Fei thought of these in his heart, so he could only helplessly, sighed secretly, and then rode to the Weihaiwei command post, with Yang Fei returning to the Weihaiwei command post, about half an hour later, the camp gate of the Weihaiwei command post was opened, and then more than 3,000 Ming soldiers followed Yang Fei, neatly arranged fish out.
Seeing this, Xu Chu hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, I'm afraid there is fraud in this!"
"Please stand back, Your Highness, and let the last general lead people to rush and kill!"
Zhu Hao shook his head slightly when he heard this:
"General Xu, you're too worried!"
"This king expects that this commander of Weihaiwei will not have the courage to meet with this king's sword soldiers!"
As Zhu Hao's order was issued, Yang Fei came to Zhu Hao's array by himself and said:
"Lord Wang, the soldiers of Weihaiwei, including the last general, have all left the camp, please enter the camp!"
Zhu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then encouraged Yang Fei a few words, then led people to Weihaiwei's command post, rushed in, and ordered Guan Yu to take a thousand soldiers to guard the camp gate.
After entering Weihaiwei's command post, Zhu Hao called Wei Xiaobao and said:
"You use your channel to contact Zheng Zhilong now, and let his fleet quickly approach Weihaiwei!"
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly took the order, at this time Zhu Hao looked at Cheng Yanjin, and then ordered:
"Vice General Cheng, you take 500 people and go to the surrounding villages and towns to buy 6,000 sets of cotton clothes and pants! Liaodong is bitterly cold, and the soldiers' clothes are too thin! β
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he hurriedly took the order happily, because this collection of military supplies is a good fire, not to mention how much money can be embezzled, at least he can choose a good set of clothes for himself.
After Cheng Yanjin left, Zhu Hao was in the barracks, waiting for Wei Xiaobao and Cheng Yanjin to come back, about in the evening, Cheng Yanjin took the lead in escorting 6,000 cotton clothes and cotton pants, returned to the camp, and soon after Cheng Yanjin came back, Wei Xiaobao also returned, Wei Xiaobao told Zhu Hao that Zheng Zhilong's fleet would dock in Weihaiwei at midnight today.
When Zhu Hao heard this, he hurriedly asked all the soldiers to get ready to board the ship at ten o'clock at midnight.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, at the Weihaiwei Estuary Wharf, a team of dozens of sea boats, under the instructions of Weihaiwei's lighthouse, slowly docked at the Weihaiwei Estuary Wharf.
This big man is none other than Zhu Hao, who was on the way back to Beijing from Zhejiang, and subdued the pirate merchant Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong walked into the crowd, and Zhu Hao, who had been waiting on the shore for a long time, greeted him and said:
"Grass people Zheng Zhilong, see His Royal Highness King Xin!"
Zhu Hao asked Zheng Zhilong to get up and speak, and after Zheng Zhilong got up, Zhu Hao smiled and said:
"Boss Zheng, your income has been good lately!"
"To be honest, your profession is really making money every day!"
"Sometimes this king wants to go to the sea, and do your job!"
Zheng Zhilong listened to Zhu Hao's words, was slightly stunned, and then smiled awkwardly:
"The grass people's meager income is all thanks to the blessing of the prince!"
"Besides, isn't the income of the grass people the income of the prince?"
"Why is the prince ridiculing the grass people?"
Zhu Hao heard Zheng Zhilong's words, and was slightly dissatisfied, implying that he had taken most of Zheng Zhilong's income, which suddenly made Zhu Hao's face a little unhappy, and he opened his mouth to knock Zheng Zhilong and said:
"Boss Zheng, why is this king a little dissatisfied when you listen to your tone?"
"Is it because the king has given you too little share?"
"How about this king redivide with you?"
Zhu Hao said to himself, ignoring Zheng Zhilong's expression.
"Well, this king thinks it's better for us to divide the account by twenty-eight!"
"It just so happens that this king has been short of money recently!"
"What do you think is good?"
As soon as Zheng Zhilong heard Zhu Hao's words, he naturally would not be naΓ―ve to think that Zhu Hao would give him an eighty-percent dividend, and Zheng Zhilong's original three-percent bonus had already made him feel a little overwhelmed, so after listening to Zhu Hao's words, he immediately looked bitter, smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands and said:
"That prince, the grass people's family is mostly taken care of by the prince in Beijing, how can the grass people not be satisfied?"
"That prince, according to the grass people, don't change this sharing ratio!"
"The grass people think that the prince has given enough to the grass people!"
"Never dislike less!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zheng Zhilong's words, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Oh? Really not changing? β
"Sancheng, enough? Isn't that too little? β
When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was afraid that Zhu Hao would regret it, so he quickly nodded and said:
"Don't change it!"
"Enough!"
Zhu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then he didn't knock Zheng Zhilong again, but said:
"Boss Zheng, how many soldiers can your fleet transport at one time?"
"Can the five thousand soldiers of this king be transported at one time?"
After Zheng Zhilong listened to Zhu Hao's words, he pondered for a moment and then said:
"Back to the prince, it would have been possible!"
"But now there are still some goods on the grass people's bed, so it may not be able to carry 5,000 people and horses!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zheng Zhilong's words, pondered slightly for a moment, and then bowed his head slightly and said:
"So be it! This king gives you a day, you will quickly get rid of the cargo on the ship in the surrounding towns, and we will set off again tomorrow night! How is it? β
