"Nan Anhou is here? Have a seat. Come on, serve tea, get snacks! ”

Li Shouhan, who was sitting under the pillar basking in the sun, looked at Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Nanyue Army, who walked quickly into his in-laws' house in the courtyard under the guidance of the two Chengqi officials, and then got up and left his seat to greet him, and ordered the people around him with a smile on his face, and ordered someone to show Zheng Zhilong a seat and serve tea.

However, the meaning of the words is quite interesting. To put it lightly, it was Li Shouhan who joked with his in-laws with a bit of banter, and he said it seriously, I am afraid that whether Zheng Zhilong can get out of this threshold with all his beards and tails is a big deal.

You must know that during the period when Emperor Hongguang fled to Wuhu, he did not give Li Shouhan and the various departments of the Nanyue Army in Shanghai, nor did he give Li Shouhan an official knighthood, but gave a lot of Hou Bo to the generals in various places, among them, the most uproaring of the Nanyue Army was that he Zheng Zhilong was named Nan Anbo. In this regard, Zheng Zhilong made great efforts to explain to Li Shouhan, and on several formal and informal occasions of the generals and officials of the Nanyue Army, he either cried bitterly, or jumped to his feet and swore to confess to his colleagues, which temporarily dispelled everyone's doubts.

However, today, Li Shouhan suddenly threw out such a new statement, how can it not be confusing? It's good to say that he was confused, Zheng Zhilong's legs were weak, and he almost didn't fall on the steps.

After calming down a little, Zheng Zhilong stepped forward slowly, and secretly swept around with the corner of his eye, fortunately, except for what Li Huamei was talking to Li Shouhan in front of, there were a few close guards, and it didn't look like they were going to be unfavorable to him. However, Zheng Zhilong is also a person who has been in the storm for most of his life, and he has seen all kinds of ghost tricks, although there is nothing to see in his psychology, but he is also anxious for a while.

"Lord, you are laughing meaningfully, why do you say this?"

"Uncle, please be seated. It's freshly brewed tea. The new oolong tea from Taiwan, my father has ordered someone to send two baskets to your mansion. Li Huamei handed a delicate lily porcelain teacup to Zheng Zhilong, and introduced the benefits of this tea to him with a smile.

"Brother Feihuang, you don't know. The news just came from Hangzhou, and the knighthood on your head has been promoted to another level. has changed from Nan Anbo to Nan Anhou. And, with this will, your messengers have been promoted. Let you lead the sailors and be at your disposal. ”

What the fuck is this bastard, if you want Lao Tzu to die, you don't have to be so ruthless, right?! Zheng Zhilong couldn't stop scolding in his heart. The naval division of the Nanyue Army does not mean that like the previous official and military naval divisions or the Fujian maritime business group, as long as the generals who lead the troops or the owners of large and small ships can be pulled away and mutinied. Its personnel composition, officer training, ammunition supply, military pay distribution, port of call, etc., are all complete set of systems. Moreover, with Zheng Zhilong's influence and prestige in the Navy Division Army at this time, he was far inferior to Li Huamei, Zhang Xiaohu and others who were born in those grassroots officers in the Navy Academy, if he wanted to mutiny and rebel, he was afraid that those officers would hack him to death first. What's more, in the naval division, the most inconspicuous sailors are responsible for operating large ships, raising sails and anchoring, maintaining artillery, and firing artillery. However, those sailors from Guangdong, Fujian, Annam, Arakan, and even Franco, Portugal and other places, which one did not worship the Li family as a parent and a god? You have to let them attack their own food, clothing, parents, and gods, but I am afraid that the combat power will be immediately dissipated at the first time.

"With an empty marquis, I want you to drag our sailor to Hangzhou, or, if you want to use this piece of waste paper that is too small to wipe your buttocks, to create infighting within my Nanyue Army, and engage in some tricks of killing three soldiers with two peaches, this also underestimates my surname Li!" Li Shouhan handed a copy of the newspaper to Zheng Zhilong, and his tone was very contemptuous.

In the newspaper, the eyes are full of all kinds of wives and sons, and the will of the emperor is ordered to chase after the sky, and even the general soldier Fang Guoan has been crowned a national prince. For a while, Zheng Zhilong didn't care about seeing what kind of prince he was.

"Humph! The country is dying, and the imperial court has become a dish and fish and shrimp to be taken off the market, and it is going to stink the street! Zheng Zhilong was half sincere, and half was also to confess himself: "How much credit did the lord make for the Ming Dynasty back then, but he was just a Ning Yuanbo." A general soldier in the other country's national security district, with no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, dared to accept the name of the national prince!? Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will be uneasy under the Nine Springs? ”

"In-laws, let's leave aside the affairs of other countries. Now, some people not only want us to have internal chaos, but also worry about our money and food! Look at this,"

In the newspaper, in an inconspicuous corner, there was a passage, "It was an eventful time in the country, and all ministries and localities should raise food and salaries in various ways. The so-called commercial zones and customs offices established before were all taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Households. Money and food were used for the expenses of the imperial court. ”

That is to say, whether it was the customs set up by Emperor Chongzhen before, or the trade zone, all of them were taken over by the internal government and the household department. It sounds good to say that the takeover is basically the same as the reception after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. In the eyes of the adults, there are only gold, silver, houses, cars, and bitches, the so-called "five sons of Dengke", as for what the national economy and people's livelihood are useful, sorry, there are dollars in the private accounts of the adults, and the gold bars in the safe are important? What does it mean to be "methodical and lawless"? "That is to say, if you have gold bars, there is reason, and if you don't have fiat currency, there is no heavenly reason.

For the weapons and equipment of the Siye Lin Dashuai who was deeply hated by countless fruit fans, countless people said that the Soviet Red Army handed over all the weapons captured by the Kwantung Army to Lin Dashuai. And use data to illustrate, how many tanks, how many planes, how many artillery, how many guns and ammunition, and so on. Then, the unkind author wants to know, since there is such a large amount of weapons and equipment, why did Chief Du still shout the bold words of "driving the Northeast Communist Army to the Yalu River to drink water and rushing to Changbai Mountain to gnaw the bark of trees"? Could it be that the national army in the Northeast at that time was all Stallone and Schwarzenegger who had been specially trained in Burma? Or, the U.S. military gave the superweapon captured from the Führer to the national army to use in the northeast? When Marshal Lin has so many weapons and equipment in his hands, then can he still fight the Liberation War for four years? Can the principal still go to Treasure Island to be the owner? Now, strictly speaking, the war of liberation is not over.

At the end of the day, it's all. Just look at this set of numbers.

Shenyang's military enterprises, after Zhang's father and son, the Japanese puppet period of many years of operation, after the withdrawal of the Soviet army, when the national army received, there are 10,000 sets of machine tools and equipment in good condition, after several years of unremitting efforts of the national army, to Shenyang was received by Tubalu, the number of intact machine tools reached as many as 3,000 units! Another 2,000 can be repaired, and less than half of them can't be repaired! And at that time, how much machine tools and equipment did the military industrial system of the entire Northeast of Tuba Road have? It is far more than 2,000 units of the national army! That is, relying on these two thousand machine tools and equipment, we have the ability to support thousands of artillery and ammunition when attacking Jinzhou!

This is why after the country proposed the Made in China 2025 plan, the commander-in-chief of US imperialism, Trump, immediately rushed to launch a trade war. The power of industrialization, that's absolutely terrifying. Compared with the real estate that you have been engaged in for 10,000 years, the service industry has changed the strategic pattern of the whole world tremendously. It must be known that the US imperialists won the Second World War with their powerful industrial strength and laid the foundation for a series of subsequent world patterns. Chen Haonan of Causeway Bay will not let the younger generation of thugs follow in his footsteps to threaten him! Not to mention a big hooligan like US imperialism?

"My lord! We have worked hard to contribute money, food, and people to build up the trade areas and customs everywhere, and become a temporary wealth area. This dog's day, King Lu, who didn't know where to fly out, became a prisoner by virtue of an edict from the Empress Dowager Zou. And then you want to use such a piece of waste paper to take away the achievements of our Nanyue Army? Is there such a cheap thing in the world? You asked him to tell me where to get it?! Lao Tzu used the cannon gunboat to fight for it! ”

Zheng Zhilong was indeed a little annoyed. A newspaper almost killed him, and snatched his money from him. As a maritime merchant, Zheng Zhilong naturally has huge interests in various trade areas. This kind of thing is a double hatred of cutting off people's wealth and taking people's lives! If he can turn a blind eye to such things, then he will not be the sea merchant jade dragon who crisscrosses the east and west oceans.

"Brother Feihuang, I thought about it before you came. A certain family is a general appointed by Hongguang Tianzi to officially announce to the world, so naturally he can't watch them come so nonsense. Therefore, all units of our Nanyue Army must take action. ”

"I order, at this time, Shi Lang, who is in northern Jiangxi, to recruit envoys for Jiangnan West Road, and lead all military and political affairs on Jiangnan West Road."

"Father! You have taken such a big responsibility, I am afraid that the Shi family kid will not be able to take on it, and he will ruin his father's big affairs when he turns around! Li Huamei jumped up first, this is the second time, Li Shouhan announced a similar order. The last time was in the Nanjing section of the retreat, Li Shouhan raised it after waking up from a coma.

"Shi Lang's ability and ability, I know it. Brother Feihuang is also very clear. He was able to guard the supplies inside and outside Jiujiang City with four naval divisions and land battalions, the 13th garrison brigade and thousands of newly formed cavalry teams of various departments, and imprisoned tens of thousands of prisoners of the Left Army to march south. Needless to say, if there is anything, when he comes back from the battle, you husband and wife will talk about it yourself. ”

Zheng Zhilong laughed in his heart. The daughters of other families are bent on letting their husbands seek fame and find a marquis, but this daughter of the Li family is so strong-minded that she is only willing to be stronger than her husband, and she is not willing to surpass Shi Lang.

"Needless to say, the official office immediately drafted the draft, printed it and sent it out. Send a letter to Shi Lang, as long as he fights well in northern Jiangxi and Huguang, so that the Qing army cannot get close to southern Jiangnan, all military and political affairs will be done cheaply! Just like when Huayu was in Shandong! ”

Speaking of Li Huayu, Li Shouhan's heart suddenly fell downward. But he didn't expect that this authorization to act cheaply, in Shi Lang's hands, would be more incisive and surprising than after Li Huayu was authorized at the beginning. This is the author's sale for the time being, please wait and see.

"Brother Feihuang, you are the great admiral of our naval division, our Nanyue Army has always been linked by rivers, lakes and seas, and the moat in the eyes of others is the thoroughfare in our eyes. You also have to take on the communication of soldiers and horses in various places, the supply and transportation of money, food, equipment, gunpowder and military uniforms, the replenishment of recruits, the evacuation of the wounded, and many other affairs. ”

"Lord, relax. After going back, Zhilong discussed with the eldest lady, Zhang Xiaohu and others, the route to the Sauron Department, the route to Denglai to supply the eldest young grandmother, the blockade of the Yangtze River estuary, the cutting off of the canal and many other things, will come up with the charter. ”

"There is another matter, which must be done as soon as possible."

Li Shouhan pointed to the newspaper with his index finger, and the words on it to receive the Hangzhou Trade Zone made a squirming sound under the tapping of his fingers.

"The fourteen prefectures of Nanzhili, Yingtianfu, Fengyang, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Luzhou, Anqing, Taiping, Chizhou, Ningguo, Huizhou, Xuzhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou, and Guangdezhou, now, with the help of those dog thieves who have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Duoduo has won more than two-thirds. At present, only Songjiang Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Guangdezhou and other places are still under the control of the Ming Dynasty. However, Changzhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Guangdezhou and other places are also very dangerous. Ningguo Mansion and Guangdezhou are lost, and the gateway of Hangzhou is open. I'm afraid that Liu Zeqing, Li Chengdong and others will rush to Hangzhou frantically. The virtues of these people, huh! ”

These former Ming generals who descended to the Qing Dynasty, under the temptation and threat of their children and the military law of the Qing army, all broke out in the small universe, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them at a speed of thousands of miles a day. Moreover, in order to plunder the people's wealth, they will do everything they can. In the midst of the hostile information from everywhere, Li Shouhan couldn't help but find out that Li Chengdong actually used artillery in order to rob the property of large families!

Poor gardens with pink and white walls, how can they withstand the artillery made in Nanzhong? Bricks and timber could not resist the six-pounder shells and eight-pounder shells fired by good gunpowder. A few shells passed, and no matter what kind of high walls you had, they would all blow you away, and everyone in the courtyard would be torn apart. can only be like pigs and sheep, let Li Chengdong take what he wants.

"Lord, in my opinion, Hangzhou City, King Lu, these people can't hold it!" After looking at the newspaper for a while and thinking about it a little, Zheng Zhilong made his own judgment very firmly. Although he is good at water warfare, he has a lot of meat on land. However, he can't stand the fact that he is an old thief and a maritime merchant for many years, and he doesn't know how to fight a war on land, but he knows how to get supplies on land, obtain supplies, and how to plunder prefectures and counties. In his eyes, Hangzhou City can't be defended.

"Let's not talk about the character and talent of King Lu and others. Now. The soldiers and horses inside and outside Hangzhou are the most effective and capable of fighting, probably Fang Guoan's more than 10,000 horses, and the rest, the soldiers brought to Hangzhou by the first assistant Ma Shiying, are not bad to put up a team and make an appearance, and they are used to fight, these troupes can be used as a hammer? ! ”

"However, this Fang Guoan's soldiers and horses, even Zuo Liangyu can scare him so much that he fled all the way from Hukou to Hangzhou, how can he fight against Li Chengdong, Tian Xiong, Liu Zeqing, a group of tigers and wolves? What's more, behind this group of jackals, there are also Bolo and other Manchurian Tartar soldiers and horses supervising the formation? I was afraid that hundreds of thousands of horses would go to Hangzhou City, and the other Guoan and Ma Shiying would be so frightened that they would run away! ”

The conversation between Zheng Zhilong and Li Huamei, Li Shouhan heard it very clearly and understood it very well. When these two people sang and harmonized, they just told him that these people in Hangzhou City, led by Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, and Ma Shiying, the first assistant, could not hold Hangzhou City. Another meaning is, don't put out fires with salary, and take your own soldiers and horses to save them.

"I didn't say I'm going to send troops and horses to help them defend the city. People don't take our Nanyue Army seriously, so why should we join in the fun? Li Shouhan's words immediately made Zheng Zhilong and Li Huamei breathe a long sigh of relief. If the lord has this thought, it is very good. They all know Li Shouhan's temperament very well, and once he decides about it, it will not be able to pull it back with a big boat. Moreover, this lord has another characteristic, that is, he can admit that he has done wrong. Once you realize that you have made a mistake, the speed and intensity of correction or correction are also amazing. At present, or since the retreat from Jiujiang, Li Huamei is very happy to find that her father has some signs of reflection on his behavior in the past few years.

"However, in Hangzhou, our sailors must go." Li Shouhan's words made Li Huamei and Zheng Zhilong, the two leaders of the sailors, fall into a fog, on the one hand, they said that they would not get involved in the affairs of Hangzhou, and on the other hand, they said that they wanted the sailors to go to Hangzhou, what is this for?

"First, in-laws, I just talked about the business zone, after several years of our operation, the Hangzhou business zone has covered an area of dozens of miles, and it is a rich place. Some people say that the essence of Jiangnan's wealth at the moment is nothing more than the business districts of Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo and other places. Needless to say, the materials accumulated in Hangzhou and Ningbo were enough to make King Lu and his group of upstarts covetous, and enough to make Duoduo's subordinates crazy. ”

"So, what does the lord mean is that I will lead the sailors to Hangzhou and Ningbo and bring back everything I can bring back?" Zheng Zhilong's pirate temper for many years is here again, this kind of thing just scratches his itch, and it just happens to let him get over the addiction of the year.

"Remove the important materials in the trade zone, such as grain, salt, steel, tea, tung oil, and cloth, and burn them if they can't. Of course, gold, silver, silk, ivory, gemstones, and so on are left behind, so that they can rejoice and get rich! ”

"Obey the orders of the lord!" Now that it is a troubled time, materials such as grain, salt, tea, steel, cloth, and tung oil can be regarded as having an impact on the progress of the war, and Zheng Zhilong naturally saves the benefits. As for leaving the gold and silver soft, it is not a problem.

"My lord, what's the second thing?"

"After retreating, we must firmly control the turtle gate and other points in Haining Prefecture!"

Turtle Gate is in Haining, which is the place where the Qiantang River enters the sea, and it was the first gateway for Hangzhou to prevent Japanese troubles. It can be said that by controlling the two key points of Haining and Turtle Gate, the Nanyue Army controlled the mouth of the Qiantang River.
