Chapter 127: Give Money When You Meet

Duke Wei commented on the Zhejiang soldiers, and there were also generals in the Zhejiang soldiers who were pointing at the imperial army.

First of all, it is an unquestionable fact that the attitude of the Zhejiang soldiers, whether they are the elite pacesetters or the officers and soldiers of the guard, towards the Gonggong Wei and the Ming Emperor's pro-army is extremely unfriendly.

This unfriendliness did not come from Wei's father-in-law's "revenge" against Ding Haiwei last year, but from the inherent prejudice against the eunuchs, or discrimination.

Prejudice is not something that can be changed after one or two meetings. In this regard, Gonggong Wei didn't care, he believed that as long as the Zhejiang soldiers cooperated with his old man a few more times, then they would definitely worship his old man's rich and rich local tyrant style.

There are so many Xian Temples in Chinese history that have fought with the army, and what is it to have a wise and martial Wei Gonggong.

"Let the sons and daughters be more energetic, don't make people laugh at our imperial army for helping weak chickens."

The father-in-law casually ordered, although the subordinates did not understand the word "weak chicken" too well, but they obviously understood that the father-in-law meant to let them react to the posture of the Zhejiang soldiers, otherwise it would be too much for others to look down on.

At the moment of the order, the officers and soldiers of the imperial army who accompanied their father-in-law to Zhoushan immediately cheered up, their military appearance was neat, and they held all kinds of weapons in their hands, and walked forward step by step in the mode of column marching.

"I didn't expect that Eunuch Wei also knew how to train soldiers."

In the distance, a group of generals of the Zhejiang army who came out of Da Song were surprised to see the imperial army marching from afar. Because whether it is the appearance of the army, or the weapons and equipment, or the marching posture of the soldiers, this imperial army is no worse than the second battalion in the front left.

"Jiang Qianhu's death is not unjust."

It was Jiang Xiong who spoke from Qianhu in the mountains, and it was also the corpse that Jiang Qianhu collected for Jiang Guoquan who committed suicide that day. Jiang is a native of Xikou, and some people who have seen feng shui say that his family will be able to produce spirit turtles in the future, and he is very rich and expensive. I don't know how this matter reached the ears of Jiang's colleagues, so he was often joked by his colleagues as Jiang Wangba. Isn't this thing the spirit turtle the king?

"Yourong, what do you think?"

Shi Dezheng, the chief military officer of Zhejiang, is 54 years old this year, and he and Shen Yourong, a staff general, are old men who have worked together for more than 20 years. At present, the second battalion in the left front, which is the main force of the Zhejiang army, is what Shi Dezheng wants to return from Wusong in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise, no matter how great his ability to Shi Zongbing is, there is no way to reorganize the guards that are already considered erosive along the coast of Zhejiang. The imperial court can't do anything about rectifying the guards, otherwise, why do you need to set up nine towns.

Shihong is Shen Yourong's cousin, and there is no habit of calling each other the cousins between the warriors, but at the level of the chief soldier and the general, they are more or less stained with the habits of literati, and they all want to get close to the civil officials.

This is also the sorrow of the generals, this dynasty emphasizes literature and light on martial arts, not to mention the far, as far as these generals of the Great Song Institute, even if Shi Dezheng, who is a second-grade general soldier, faces the fourth-grade Ningbo prefect, they all subconsciously have the idea that the other party is more valuable.

"The battle of Pingwu Port, Commander Luo told me in detail, I also went to Pingwu Port after I came to Zhoushan to check on the spot, this port is the station of the center left, there is a fort, if the Japanese come to attack, it is two or three thousand people are not lost, but in fact it was lost in less than an hour, in addition to Wusong's side of the ship more artillery, its infantry combat ability in the southeast is also second to none... This father-in-law Wei really has a bit of the style of the West Factory back then. ”

Shen Yourong rubbed his beard.

"Others are from the palace, and everything is supported by His Majesty, unlike us, it is difficult to ascend to the sky if you want to do something." Shi Dezheng felt a feeling, and then his spirit perked up, "Fortunately, this Wei Gonggong is a persistent and pioneering person, otherwise the long-cherished wish of you and me will not be fulfilled even if you die of old age." ”

"It is also the full support of the four Ming ministers, otherwise, this matter may not be possible."

Shen Yourong nodded, when the governor of the high school summoned him and Shi Dezheng to talk about the three provinces to fight against Dongfan, his heart was beating badly, not for anything else, just to capture Dongfan is really his greatest wish in Shen Yourong's life.

In fact, as early as when Shen Yourong was stationed in Fujian, he led his troops to enter Dongfan twice. The first time was in the thirtieth year of Wanli, when the Penghu Inspection Office reported that the Japanese invaded Dongfan and brutalized our Fujian merchants and Dongfan natives everywhere. After Shen Yourong heard the report, regardless of the danger of the typhoon, he personally led 21 warships to desperately cross the sea to Dongfan, and completely annihilated the Japanese bandits, beheading more than 100 people.

The second time was in the 32nd year of Wanli, and it was the Penghu Inspection Office that reported that the Dutch Hongyi ghost occupied Magong Island in the Penghu Islands. Later, in the name of mutual market, these Hongyi ghosts attempted to occupy the Penghu Islands forever as the Portuguese did in Guangdong and Macao.

At that time, the Fujian Bafu Army was in a state of mind, and in this critical situation, Shen Yourong was strictly deployed, regardless of his own safety, and galloped to the Dutch ship in a single boat. After that, Shen Yourong was a desperate trouble, and urged the then governor Jin Xuezeng to write to the imperial court to set up a government in Dongfan, which was under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Political Envoy.

Unfortunately, Jin Xuezeng was transferred, and the newly appointed governor of Fujian, Wang Xing, was not interested in setting up a government in the east, and disbanded the expeditionary Japanese fleet that Jin Xuezeng had formed at that time. Shen Yourong left Fujian and came to Zhejiang in discouragement, and stayed for ten years.

I thought that there would be no chance to forge ahead in the east in this life, but I didn't want to, but Gonggong Wei, who came from Beijing, had this heart, and had the support of the Zhejiang Party.

Therefore, no matter how hostile Dinghaiwei was to that Wei Gonggong, Shen Yourong was determined to take Dongfan with the cooperation of Zhejiang soldiers. He not only has a long-term vision, but also privately does maritime trade business, and most of his smuggled goods are transported to Ryukyu, and there are huge profits every time, and he knows that if the great profits of maritime trade are managed by the imperial court, he can definitely enrich the country and strengthen the army, so as far as the generals of Zhejiang are concerned, Shen Yourong sincerely supports the plan of the joint forces of the three provinces.

He privately suggested to Shi Dezheng that if he took Dongfan, he would use Zhejiang troops to station in the northern part of Dongfan, and then use it as a base to seize Ryukyu, so that most of the benefits of Ryukyu would fall into the hands of Zhejiang.

Shi Dezheng also thinks deeply of this, but if Zhejiang does this, it will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of the Wei eunuchs, so how to carry out this plan without offending the Wei eunuchs and the Fujian side is a tricky matter.

Over there, the soldiers came to report that the Wei eunuch and his entourage had arrived at the Da Song House, and Shi Dezheng and Shen Yourong led a group of generals to greet them. Wu Keye, the prefect of Ningbo, is a civil official, but among the military generals, he must stand out from the crowd. He didn't want to greet that Wei eunuch, but after thinking about it, he still went with Shi Dezheng and them, after all, Eunuch Wei's face can not be given, and the face of the four Ming ministers still has to be seen.

Here, when Gonggong Wei went to the bottom of the mountain, he asked someone to put him down from the eight-lift sedan chair, and after raising his eyes and looking around, he happily walked up along the class.

When I arrived at the Da Song Institute above, I saw dozens of generals of the Zhejiang army waiting there, and the leader was Shi Dezheng, the chief soldier of Zhejiang.

"Grandpa Wei!"

Shi Dezheng clenched his fists and stepped forward, smiling all over his face, and then the generals also saluted.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Gonggong Wei laughed, and stepped forward with his fists clenched, his face full of heat, "Come on, bring up the thin gift that our family gave to the generals." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw dozens of soldiers carrying boxes of silver and struggling to climb up.
