Section 260 The Big Deal (2)
After all, development is fundamental, and everything is just empty talk without development.
Wu Shengzhao sat on the boat, his heart was really full of emotion, it was not easy to come out this time. It took infinite effort for Lu Jianguo to get the 200,000 taels of silver. Weifu boarded the regular passenger ship between Jiangnan and Shenzhou City, sat at the table set up in the open air on the deck, holding a glass of wine in his hand, his eyes looked at the rolling of the blue waves in the distance, and his heart was floating with different thoughts.
"I don't know that Kai'er and Qi'er have always been good in Shenzhou City, and I'm relieved to hand them over to the migrant workers (Dai Zhijun's character)."
Zhang Mingzhen also went to Shenzhou City with him this time, which was not specially sent by Lu Jianguo. Zhang Mingzhen had a lot of dealings with the Shenzhou Army, and every time they just said "We Shenzhou Army, our Shenzhou City", the confidence in their eyes and the pride in their hearts. Needless to say, Zhang Mingzhen can see it clearly.
"Why are they!" This has always been a question in Zhang Mingzhen's heart, this time he has such a good opportunity, and he is the messenger who sent money to General Yue, so he also asked for a holy decree and went to Shenzhou City with Wu Shengzhao, he wanted to see why it was a place that made people proud.
He wore a blue soap-colored Confucian shirt, with three long hairs fluttering on his chest, but his eyes seemed to be a little more unangry and arrogant, typical of the consequences of Chinese literati governing the army. At this moment, he is not thinking about Shenzhou City, because his mind is still in King Lu's place and has not come out!
Zhu Yihai, who was in charge of the Qing Dynasty, had an unforgettable hatred for the Qing court, his brother died in the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and Zhu Yihai personally experienced the hardships of the country's ruin and family ruin, and the life of displacement. These are things that he will never forget. However, he does lack some talent for governing the country, and he is a good woman who likes to sing and dance, and often ignores state affairs and mixes with those warblers and Yanyan. This is what Zhang Mingzhen is worried about.
Although there are now two places in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there are Wusheng troops by their side, safety is guaranteed. However, Jinhua and Huzhou are surrounded by strong enemies, and if one is not careful, he may be in danger of collapse. These are all places where he Zhang Mingzhen wants to share his worries for the emperor! He let out a long breath and looked out at the endless sea to stretch his mood. I just saw Hou Fangyu sitting next to Wu Shengzhao, and the two of them were sitting together and talking.
Speaking of Wu Shengjun, he saw the chariot again, although it is not the same as the Shenzhou military, but the function is slightly similar, it can be seen that this Wu Shengbo has a long-term vision, and he is a person with some courage.
The sea breeze seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally coming to the conversation between the two.
"Brother Wu, I have settled those sergeants as instructed, and they all pretended not to know each other, and when they came to Shenzhou City, they just scattered behind them and quietly lived in the post station."
Wu Shengzhao was in a good mood, waving the wine he had just bought on the boat in his hand, and said: "Brother Hou, this time it's all up to you to give us advice and let them train some generals for us, this idea is very good, otherwise we will only use it if we have a chariot in the future, but it is not a problem." ”
Hou Fangyu was not very interested, and only said lightly: "The eldest brother is serious, there is such a general as the eldest brother, and the younger brother dares not to serve his life!" He has his own business in mind, and this time he went to Shenzhou City for another purpose, but he wanted to meet Li Xiangjun, and at the same time, he also wanted to meet Fang Yizhi who was there. Speaking of Li Xiangjun, there seems to be some knots between the two, and it is good to untie them when they meet this time.
Zhang Mingzhen saw that Hou Fangyu was not interested in talking, so he also went to buy a pot of wine and planned to have a good chat with Wu Shengzhao, the commander of the Wu Shengjun, which would be beneficial to working together in the future. And the best thing is that the two of them thought of going together, this time he also brought a few officers with him to Shenzhou City, planning to learn the tactics of the Shenzhou Army, but he didn't expect Wu Shengzhao to have this idea.
Zhang Mingzhen walked towards Wu Shengzhao and glanced at the boat, you see that the people who come and go are all arrogant, I am afraid that I don't want others to say it, but I will be seen that there are some soldiers on this boat. Thinking of this, Zhang Mingzhen couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "It seems that this ship is afraid that it has been contracted by the emperor's officials and soldiers!" ”
"I really can't see it, Lord Zhang also likes fine wine!"
Wu Shengzhao generally tasted the wine in his hand, while pretending to salute.
"Hey! Brother Wu, this is your fault, what are we pretending to be, of course we are businessmen, how can we be called 'adults' and 'adults', naturally we are called big brothers. ”
Zhang Mingzhen said with a look of anticipation, in this year, the supervisors and commanders in the army are often on the same page, and his gesture of favor immediately won Wu Shengzhao's favor.
"If that's the case, you're welcome."
"Why should you and I be polite."
Although Hou Fangyu sat silently, as if he was thinking about his own thoughts, as soon as Zhang Mingzhen came over, his ears were on the edge and he listened quietly.
Soon Ming Zhen put the topic on the military salary that Wu Shengzhao was most concerned about.
Before Zhu Yihai drove down the sea in Buboluo, his army was famously chaotic, and the so-called "so-called "so-called official army has official salary, and the righteous army has righteous salary" engaged in Fang Anguo and Wang Zhiren at that time, and as a result, the righteous army that was attached to the wind was not paid, and many of them dispersed on their own, and the imperial court had no power to distribute salaries, which was becoming weaker and weaker.
"Brother Wu, I think you are also a person who leads the troops, so you naturally know that there is no pay that means no soldiers, this time with the help of the Shenzhou Army, we took the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but we must not make the same mistake as last time."
Wu Shengzhao was silent for a long time, and the economics asked him if he had it, but he understood the truth that "no pay means no soldiers". Listening to this Dingxi Hou, he meant to suppress the rest of the forces with his own military victory and maintain the power of the imperial court to adjust and issue salaries. But what good is it for him to win the army by doing this! However, Wu Shengjun has some benefits, but it may not be said. I couldn't make up my mind for a while, and I couldn't help but look at his master with my eyes.
Hou Fangyu sat not far from them, a folding fan shaking from time to time. Out of the corner of his eye, he had already seen Wu Shengzhao's movements, but Zhang Mingzhen was there, and it was inconvenient for him to go over. Then he glanced and motioned to go back and speak.
Zhang Mingzhen saw Wu Shengzhao's appearance and knew that he was going to discuss it with his staff, so he raised his voice a little and said: "Brother Wu, this matter must be taken care of, as long as our strength remains strong for a day, our family will be stable for a day, and the position of this shopkeeper must not fall into the hands of others, then we will lose more than we gain." ”
