Chapter 137: A Surprise on the First Day of the New Year
At this end of the year, Guangzhou is very busy.
Hermes-Epitek is busy preparing for the Chinese New Year, and merchants in Guangzhou are also busy running goods from all over the world. In order to let everyone have a prosperous New Year, Chen Xiong gave ten taels of silver to each person. As soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, he used 20 million taels, which was already half of the Han army's silver deposits.
The three elders of the headquarters were distressed, but Chen Xiong didn't care. If there is no silver, go to find it, Nanyang, Southeast Asia, and even Fuzhou Zheng Zhilong, their silver is waiting for the Han army to take it.
Fuzhou Zheng family.
"What happened to the Han army?"
The old steward sighed: "Big dragon head, the king of Annan has stabilized the two vast departments, and the officers and soldiers of the state capitals have been loyal to Chen Xiong. ”
Zheng Zhilong's heart was cold: "Is that all the sailors of the South China Sea have been loyal?" "Compared with land, Zheng Zhilong pays more attention to sailors.
"Yes, the big dragon head, after the Humen Sailor surrendered, the guards of the South China Sea also followed to serve the Han army master!"
Zheng Zhihu frowned: "Big brother, we have a holiday with the Han army, we have to guard against it!" ”
Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly and nodded: "Shi Kefa, this old bastard is a lot of harm!" The Ming army is also a bunch of waste. ”
The naval division of the Han army, which commanded the sailors of the South China Sea, had a strength of nearly 100,000 main warships, so the Zheng family had to gather the eighteen Zhi alliance of the year to compete for power in the Han army. But now the rest of the alliance are wary of each other, and they even can't wait to eat him Zheng family.
"Ah Hu, Sen'er, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" Zheng Zhilong looked at his eldest son with a smile, he was very satisfied with this successor. A young man with a dignified face, there is no lack of hidden edge inside.
The young Zheng Sen immediately spoke: "Father King Annan is a lustful, money-hungry and unenterprising person, and he can use his interests to paralyze him. Then provoke them to have a conflict with Western ghost animals, and then our army will be at the right time~"
Zheng Sen smiled faintly, and the ending was no longer clear.
"Okay, Sen'er has the demeanor of a big brother when he was young." Zheng Zhihu laughed, there are successors to their Zheng family.
Zheng Zhilong also nodded with satisfaction: "Immediately send an order not to have a conflict with the Lingnan sailors, Sen'er Chen Xiong is the same age as you, you will take 20 million taels to Guangzhou tomorrow." You should be able to deal with it next, right? ”
Zheng Sen frowned and nodded: "Please rest assured, father, the child will definitely make Chen Xiong think that the world is peaceful." ”
"Good, good. My son can lead an army of his own. The more Zheng Zhilong looked at it, the more satisfied he became, believing that after he grew old: the Zheng family could still sit firmly on the throne of the East China Sea, and even Nanhai might be surnamed Zheng.
Twenty million taels! Zheng Zhihu smiled bitterly: "Big brother, 20 million taels is not too much!" The six divisions of Nanjing were defeated, and the Han army lord only wanted 20 million taels. ”
Zheng Zhilong shook his head: "Ah Hu, Chen Xiong, who is now sleeping in the southern country, is no longer the bereaved dog before, and the current 20 million taels can satisfy his appetite." ”
Guangdong was also wealthy, and now that the Han army has taken control of Guangzhou, even the pirates of the South China Sea have fled from the offshore islands.
"Hmph, let them run rampant for a while." The revenge of being hunted down on the river, Zheng Zhihu is still haunted by it.
Nanjing Yingtianfu.
After the crown prince Zhu Ciyan supervised Nanjing, the entire six departments of Nanjing took on a new look. Even the decadent Shi Kefa returned to Nanjing to take up the post of secretary of the military department. Although the Jiangbei Army was defeated, it also killed and wounded more than 10,000 Han troops, and Yangzhou was safe and sound. Compared with the battle of Zhenjiang, the battle of Jiangbei of Shi Kefa's division was already a small victory.
The small imperial court in Jiangnan knew that Nanjing would slowly replace the Beijing division in the future.
The Nanjing Imperial Court is now dominated by four scholars: the first person is Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers, the second is Huang Daozhou, the third is Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Household (the water is too cool), and the fourth is Lu Zhenfei, the secretary of the Criminal Department. The Ministry of Industry and Rites was only a soy sauce department, which had little impact on the imperial court.
The military and government in Jiangnan and Jiangbei were all under the leadership of the prince, and the political power in the north and south of the river began to slowly condense. At least it won't be as before, the struggle for power and profit will be scattered. After the Jiangnan pest Zuojia Army was eliminated, the rest was absorbed by the state capitals. Losing Zuo Liangyu, the leading brother, all the army leaders were divided. Especially Liu Liangzuo, who was heavily injured by the Han army, also put away his heart.
After recovering Hunan, Jiangnan and Jiangbei are also becoming more and more stable, and Chongzhen of Jingshi is also much more relieved. Even if he really can't stop the Dashun army, his Daming can still occupy half of the country.
This winter in Guangzhou is very warm, and with the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, the new year has officially arrived.
1644 is a year of the end of the year, in January Li Zicheng called the emperor Yongchang, in February Zhang Xianzhong in Chengdu called the emperor year name Dashun. Zhang Xianzhong is still not convinced by Li Zicheng, and even the year name is in the name of Da Shunguo.
1644 was also the time of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, and the summer just came at the end of April, and the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, committed suicide. Chongzhen's death also indicates the complete decline of Han culture, which means: the spine raised by the Han people was completely broken. This is not only the end of the dynasty, but also the twilight of the Han era. The Chinese civilization that shocked the world also completely declined in this year, and since then the Europa bandits have no rival in the world.
The first day of the new year~
Guangzhou on the first day of the Lunar New Year has never been so lively, hundreds of thousands of people poured into the city of Guangzhou to walk the streets and alleys, almost not crowding Guangzhou. Merchants in Guangzhou have also made a lot of money, and many food stalls have been swept away with spare ingredients.
Not only in the city, but also outside the city of Guangzhou, small markets were spontaneously formed.
In order to ensure the safety of the people, a team of 10,000 grass and wood soldiers and ten people rushed inside and outside the city. In addition to the busy grass and wood soldiers, the sailors also had to take turns on the boat to be on guard. The sailors who got off the boat could not go too far and could only hang out in the neighborhood.
More than a million Han people were happily playing, but the palace of Annam was full of frost.
Chen Xiong was cold and looked at Lao Langzhong from a distance, and the maid beside him was shaking: his head was lowered and his body was trembling.
Whew~ Lao Langzhong breathed a sigh of relief, this is not poisoning but a great joy.
The prince has retreated again and again, but the knife intent behind him is still pressing, and the old man is glad that the princess is fine.
Seeing that Lao Langzhong stopped, Chen Xiong immediately stepped forward: "What is going on?" ”
The two little wives were nauseated, dizzy and soft, and they had just drunk chicken and jujube soup before. Chen Xiong was furious, and all the guards in the palace also drew their knives, and no one in the palace was allowed to enter or leave. The heavy cavalry also immediately mounted and surrounded the entire palace, and Wu Jiu, Zhao Lao and others, who had arrived from the governor's palace, were still waiting outside the gate.
The old man showed an ugly smile~
Still laughing~ Chen Xiong was so angry that he almost couldn't help but kick over.
"Uh~ The prince is angry, and the princess is safe and sound."
Good! Chen Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, and the coldness on his head gradually faded.
Lao Langzhong, who felt much more relaxed, immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations to the prince, the princesses are pregnant, this is a normal pregnancy reaction." In the future, you should avoid irritating ingredients in your diet, and then drink some health pills. ”
They are pregnant~ Chen Xiong trembled and immediately said, "You all go down." Reward a hundred taels, don't reward a thousand taels, and the old man will go down to receive the reward. ”
"It's the prince." A few maids and maids left quickly, and the old man also left quickly after thanking him.
The old housekeeper outside the door also smiled and greeted Lao Langzhong, fortunately it was not a poisoning incident, otherwise the whole house would be in trouble.
As soon as the door was closed, Chen Xiong couldn't help but smile sourly: "Hehe, good, good~~"
Chen Xiong had tried his best to hold back his laughter, but he still disturbed the little princess who was lying still.
"Why is my husband smiling so happily, we are all uncomfortable to death!" Aimin said with a complaining face.
"Thank you Min'er, Lang Zhong said that you are going to be a mother."
"Ah~ It turned out to be true, I thought it was a dream." Xinna's face was happy, they could finally become the princess of the princess.
Chen Xiong kissed the foreheads of the two women a few times and left.
Footsteps outside the door, he knew they were coming. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Plants and Trees of the Late Ming Dynasty" for free reading for the first time.
