In Chen Hua's plan, his 'first battle in life' is definitely going to be vigorous. This can greatly increase his already high prestige within the Zheng Group.

Therefore, soy sauce cannot be beaten, and it is impossible to make soy sauce for a lifetime.

As soon as such an idea was born, it had an immediate effect, and the emotions stirring in Chen Hua's chest calmed down a lot. Since it was difficult for the Zheng clan to make a difference in the Songjin War, he himself did not have the confidence to convince Hong Chengchou.

- Hong Hengjiu was born in orthodoxy, ranked 14th in the second class of the palace test, suppressed the Pingliu Kou, killed Li Zicheng and fled into Shangluo Mountain with only 18 horsemen, and directly hit the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which had been boiling for more than ten years, into the lowest ebb. Outstanding meritorious service, Chongzhen was transferred to the governor of Jiliao in the twelfth year, which was already the peak of the local officials of the Ming Dynasty. One step further, it is to enter the cabinet.

How can Chen Hua convince this kind of person? And what can Chen Hua say about the Songjin War?

It is to make Hong Chengchou's head iron resist the imperial decree of Emperor Chongzhen, the household really has no money and food, and Hong Chengchou is also sitting on wax. Or let him not enter Matsuyama?

That's even more of a joke.

The ancient city of Songshan is more than ten miles south of Jinzhou, and if you want to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, this is the place after all. In Chen Hua's eyes, the ancient city of Songshan, which is only a dozen miles away from Jinzhou, is an obvious strategic support point.

He can see everything, can he still open his eyes and tell nonsense?

Just forgive him for not learning and not knowing, Chen Hua really can't remember the whole process of the Songjin War, and he doesn't know that Songshan City is actually the strategic center of gravity after the collapse of the main force of the Ming army.

Zheng Hongkui saw that Chen Hua had a hesitant look on his face, and hurriedly said: "It's late July now, and the imperial court has really followed what Jiang Dejing said, and the will will come down to mid-August. At that time, the place outside the gate was probably already a scene of ice and snow. In winter, the sea is frozen, and our ships are not only unable to dock, but also have to watch out for the imperial court, day and night, beware of ice floes......"

Chen Hua sighed, Zheng Hongkui was reasonable. The lame Zheng Group really has no capital to get involved in the Ming and Qing wars.

People who know that they can't do it are either true warriors or brain-dead people with iron heads.

Chen Hua is not the true warrior who destroys his family and relieves the need, so he has decided not to insist on intervening anymore.

From this point of view, he is still very well convinced. There are too few 'knowledge points' and 'rules of the game' that he has mastered, and because he has an unstable grasp of the overall situation, he is now easily moved.

Of course, he himself doesn't think so. He also thinks he's smart.

"Jiang Zhongbao is the old man of the court, the world can be a official, his words, the emperor can ...... Don't listen? ”

Chen Hua had never heard of such a person as Jiang Dejing in later generations. But now he knows that this Quanzhou fellow is a great capable minister. was first ostracized because he didn't dick Wei Zhongxian, until he was dismissed. After being reinstated, he was still upright, dared to admonish, and always hurt the government and the government, and corrected the evils of the times. In the context of the late Ming Dynasty, many good policies were proposed.

Especially in June of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Jiang Dejing, who had just been promoted by the court as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw that the border defense was lax, and all the sides were vain and risky, so he went to the court to show his shortcomings. Based on the facts, it is pointed out that the thistle governor has five more people in half a year, and the matter will be wasted. It is believed that in order to consolidate the border defense, the border ministers must serve for a long time.

Emperor Chongzhen disagreed, saying: Don't call it a change.

Jiang Dejing replied unceremoniously: It is better to be cautious than the beginning.

In other words, it is better to be cautious and thoughtful in the selection of people than to change later.

It is believed that this side will not only choose carefully, but also fully trust it after a number of selections, so that it can be fully considered and planned for the long term, so as to change from passive to active and defeat the enemy.

also took out the ancestral system of the old Zhu family, three associations to stop one governor, one fu, and one general soldier, but today it has added two governors, three fu, and six general soldiers, and set up dozens of deputy generals. Emperor Chongzhen, who loved death and wanted to save face, also had to admit his mistake. It's just that the Ming Dynasty is rotten, and the change has no effect.

It's been three years now, and Jiang Dejing is still mixing well in the center, and even mixed into the cabinet. Such a character, that is what Zheng Zhilong wants to focus on, and it is also what Chen Hua attaches great importance to.

Just said that in terms of political weight, Jiang Dejing is better than Hong Chengchou. Although Hong Chengchou was promoted in the forty-third year of Wanli and went to Beijing for the examination in the forty-fourth year, Lianjie Dengke was six years earlier than Jiang Dejing in the second year of Tianqi High School. But one of the two was born in Shujishi, and the other became a turbid official, Hong Chengchou was proud of the twenty-four-year-old science field, too young, and he was not selected. And Jiang Dejing, who was twenty or thirty places behind Hong Chengchou in the imperial examination ranking, was admitted to Shu Jishi.

Then twenty years have passed, one has entered the cabinet, and although the other is also a famous minister in the world, Hong Chengchou's road is much more difficult than Jiang Dejing's.

"It's easy. Since Chen Xinjia and others were opposed, it can be seen that it was difficult for the imperial court to make a conclusion for a while. The eldest brother sent someone to take a fast boat to the capital to do some dots, and he only needed to bring more gold and silver, which was not difficult to come. ”

They hadn't done that once or twice before. Zheng Hongkui said it very lightly.

Chen Hua immediately remembered some stories in his mind, and in Zheng Zhilong's voice, this bribery thing was really done a lot of times. Any promotion is indispensable to bribe, and the bigger the official, the higher the level of bribery.

"It's just some gold and silver, but it's simple." I'm big, I've got the money to say.

"It's just ......" Chen Hua pondered and said: "Jiang Dejing is a famous eunuch in my Fujian Province, and he and Hong Chengchou have been well-known in the township for 20 years, and they are bright for a while, although they have not heard of any friendship between them, but Hong Chengchou's children are married to famous families in Jinjiang, how can the rest of Jiang Dejing really have nothing to do with it?" but do not be evil. If you let Fusong [Zheng Sen] buy some money and food and send it to Hong Hengjiu, it will also be considered Jiang Zhongbao's face. What does the fourth brother think? ”

Chen Hua doesn't know how Zheng Zhilong did it in history, but sending some money and food to Hong Chengchou can be regarded as his political correctness.

Zheng Hongkui naturally said okay, "What the eldest brother said is true." ”

Chen Hua didn't worry about other people's words at all, and made a decision by himself, which is fine.

Someone called the clan brother Zheng Zhipeng, who patted his chest and assured Chen Hua when he heard what had happened: "Don't worry, eldest brother." Such a trivial matter, the little brother must have done it. "What's wrong with giving money?

Zheng Zhipeng carried the gold and silver and a handful of jewelry treasures allocated by Chen Hua, including 100,000 taels of gold and silver alone, as well as some sea pearls, corals, ivory, rhino horns and other things. If the latter are transported to Jingshi, even if they are transported to Jiangnan for sale, their value will not be less than 100,000 taels.

Compared with Emperor Chongzhen's tax silver for a year, Chen Hua's handwriting is not small. But in the eyes of Zheng Hongkui and other Zheng Group cadres, this is all normal operation. Compared with the Zheng Group, which has an income of tens of millions of dollars, what is a mere 120,000 yuan?

100,000 taels of silver, all of which are newly made silver oceans of water. This is also one of the parts that Chen Hua called people to integrate, and casting Yinyang is a big benefit.

A piece of silver weighs one tael, eight silver, and two copper. The value of the silver is one tael.

The traditional Chinese casting method is used, in which the money mold is first made, and the silver and copper are melted and poured into it. After cooling, it is broken down and slightly polished, and it is a good silver ocean.

In essence, it is no different from making private money. There is also fire consumption, but the amount is small. Chen Hua believes that a piece of silver with eighty percent silver can be charged with one tael of silver to spend out. Is the fire consumed?

The reason why this is so is because the coin press is not something that you can build if you want to. He has already made people look to the South Seas for purchase.

It's too much trouble to make it yourself, and there are patterns and handwriting on the silver dollar.

On the front is a huge "1", and the number is completely introduced by him. On the back is the Bitao Xuanlong Flag!

This is the banner designed by Chen Hua for the Zheng family's sailors, a black dragon on a blue background. Naturally, it can't be played out yet. It's just that it can't be expressed in too much detail on the silver ocean, and in the blink of an eye, it looks like a dragon churning on the waves.
