Chapter 22 Eight Fujian Athletes
Zheng Sen looked at the fleets that were going away and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He is really glad that this Zhifu Island is a natural harbor, the harbor is wide and deep, the waves are small and slow, and there is no silting or freezing. Unlike Jinmen, the canal waterway was completely frozen when it entered November, and by Layue, the harbor had been frozen for dozens of miles.
And if the sea surface of Zhifu Island is also frozen for dozens of miles like Jinmen, and the refugees inside cannot be transported out, and the food from outside cannot enter by sea, then he will be under pressure.
Zheng Zhipeng is not on the island, after Zheng Sen's return, he went to Dengzhou, and now he has even arrived in Jinan.
What are you going to do, that's not to ask. If you look at the refugees who have arrived from Qilu in recent times, you can know that
Zheng Sen was also happy to do the same.
After the baptism of the First Battle of Songjin, Zheng Sen, who has matured a lot, has deeply understood the sentence told by his father: clean talk is misleading the country, and hard work is prosperous. That's exactly what happened.
No matter how high the rhetoric and moral articles are, they can't kill a Tartar.
On the contrary, he took the boat to a pass away, not only transported precious grain to Songshan, but also brought back thousands of wounded soldiers and many civilians, and saved the lives of thousands of soldiers in the waves.
It was the imperial court that could respond in a timely manner and urgently dispatched Shen Tingyang to lead a ship to Songshan to transport grain, which had his share of the credit. It's really hard work to prosper the country.
A letter written by Zheng Zhilong, brought by the previous batch of ships when they arrived at Zhifu Island, told Zheng Sen that since Emperor Chongzhen was counting on the Zheng family to work hard, it was still easy to ask for the qualification of a national prince.
If Zheng Sen is willing, he will be able to report to the Guozijian in Jinling next year.
If this news had been placed a year ago, he would have been ecstatic. But now, in the eyes of Zheng Sen, he has lost the biggest attraction.
Batches of refugees were transported away, but the population of Zhifu Island did not decline, because boatloads of old people left, and waves of new people arrived.
The population of Zhifu Island remained unchanged and became only the architecture of the island. The camps and camps can no longer be described as in the old days, but need to be said to be villages, even towns.
As the time entered September, the weather became colder and colder, how could buildings such as grass huts protect against the cold? Houses had to be built, whether they were wooden and straw houses or adobe grass houses, one after the other. Looking at the past from afar, it really looks like a town market.
In addition, at the beginning of entering Zhifu Island, these refugees were already separated from men and women, and then they were driven away by armor. After Zheng Sen returned and cut down more than 300 people and fined thousands of people, the order on the island was very strict!
As a result, the seven camps on Zhifu Island now seem to be no longer seven transit points for refugees and displaced people, but a bit like seven newly built villages and towns.
At the top, they must relocate the population, be responsible for the order of the entire Zhifu Island, and at the bottom, they must care about the food, clothing, and health of the refugees, and urge them to work. It's like the thatched huts. It is also necessary to deal with the disputes and brawls between displaced refugees and to practice volunteerism in their leisure time......
Taking over a small Zhifu Island brought Zheng Sen no less difficulties and benefits than participating in the Battle of Songjin.
Here he can get in touch with all kinds of dark sides at the bottom of society, and he can also exercise his commanding ability, which is like a counterpart internship position, sharpening his political and military skills.
When Zheng Sen went through the baptism here, he could no longer look at him as a 'rookie in the workplace'.
Forty or fifty thousand people, together with the villages of Denglai, just talking about the population, is comparable to a small county in a remote area.
With the 100 veterans brought from Jinmen as the foundation, the volunteers of Zhifu Island can be said to have been qualitatively improved. But Zheng Sen was still not satisfied.
Because his potential enemy is the Eight Banners Tartar outside the gate, he wants real elite soldiers.
After the year, Zheng Zhilong will lead the team to the north, and he will also lead the volunteers to follow the north.
After March, the ice floes in the Beiyang will melt, and the warships will be able to sail into the Liaohai Sea and reopen the sea route. But I also want to know that Huang Taiji will definitely not open the door of convenience and let them import grain to Songshan.
When the time comes, there will inevitably be a fight. Zheng Sen is already waiting a little impatiently now!
In this way, Zheng Sen, who stayed on Zhifu Island during the New Year, unknowingly gave his eldest son to the butterfly.
Zheng Zhilong didn't know when Zheng Jing was born, and he didn't know that in history, the 'daughter-in-law' Chief Dong was pregnant at the end of this year, and the "eldest grandson" Zheng Jing would have been born in the late autumn of the next year.
But for the nurse who fornicated with his brother, the 'grandson' who gave birth to a son and brought the final blow to the sick Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Zhilong didn't say that he didn't know, he just knew, and it was not a pity at all.
In his previous life, when he watched "The Legend of Deer and Ding", he felt sorry for Chen Jinnan - "If you don't see Chen Jinnan in your life, it's useless to call yourself a hero", is it very compelling. And the description is also very positive, bent on opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Jinnan and the protagonist Wei Gonggong are in the same faction, so Zheng Kexuan is also seriously dissatisfied with the villain.
Later, when I grew up and knew more, I was even more dissatisfied with Zheng Kezhang, a surrendering faction, and then I was full of sympathy for Zheng Kezang, who was abolished and forced to kill by his grandmother in less than three days after he succeeded to the throne. Naturally, she was very dissatisfied with the old aunt of Chief Dong.
But when the information age came completely, Zheng Zhilong knew Zheng Kezang's origin, and of course, he also knew the black of a certain deceased "martial arts master", and Zheng Kezhang was obviously a child. When Wanwan was recovered by General Shi, he was only thirteen years old!
At the time of the rebellion of the three feudatories, people were only in their prime!
Looking at it without colored glasses, Zheng Kezang's life experience is also extremely disgraceful, and it can even be said to be a stain on the Zheng family. Chen Jinnan's original form Chen Yonghua is Zheng Jing's henchman, but he took a fancy to Zheng Kezhang and married his daughter to him, which makes people feel very complicated.
Is it because Zheng Jing loves Zheng Kezhang very much? Or are you forced to be helpless?
But no matter what, it is understandable that Mrs. Dong at that time could promise Feng Xifan and others to seize the position of Zheng Kezang, force him to be killed, and set up another Zheng Kezhang.
Before Zheng Chenggong died, he angrily asked Zheng Tai to kill Zheng Jing and Chief Dong.
Skip this topic. When the time turns to the Lantern Festival, the sea outside Anping City in Jinjiang is lined with sails and ships. The chief military officer of Fujian Province, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Dalongtou, will lead the army north today.
A series of dignitaries, such as the governor of Fujian Province, the political envoy, and the envoy of the procuratorate, were all present.
"The Central Plains is a pandang, the state affairs are difficult, the general Rong perennial naval battles, for the Great Wall of the sea in Fujian Province, outstanding meritorious service, well-known. This time, I led my Fujian athletes to the north to enter the guard, and I hope that the general Rong can show his skills again, make a name for himself in Beiyang, and make contributions. Supporting the country and continuing Zuo is also good to leave a name in history.
Kentang hated to go with Zheng Gong. ”
Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian Province, this is another Zheng Zhilong in his previous life, who had never heard of the name at all, but now he is a person who cannot be ignored.
"Gong Zheng, please drink this cup!"
Zheng Zhilong solemnly took it and drank it all, then smashed the wine cup on the ground, clasped his hands into fists, and set a flag at the big people in Fujian Province who were present: "All the princes, please rest assured." This time I went north, Zheng will definitely not be embarrassed with my Fujian father. Don't call the prisoners outside the gate, keep your eyes open, know the heroes and heroes of my Ba Fujian athletes, and vow not to return it! ”
The news that Zheng Zhilong "trained" an elite team in Anping City has long been no secret in the officialdom of Fujian Province during this time. Now listening to his remarks, they all think so.
"When Zheng Gong returns with his reputation, Kentang will get drunk with Zheng Gong again."
Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhang Kentang deeply, and he didn't know if it was his hallucination, he saw a touch of respect in Zhang Kentang's eyes! It made him feel dazzled.
