Although Shi Kefa's guy is a bit fierce and dull, he really got along with him and found common ground, and this guy is still very interesting.

He is a person who really wants to do things, and he can also throw himself down to do things.

Even if the means are not too clever......

However, Xu Changqing doesn't need him to be clever.

Now, the cabinet official document has come down, and it is estimated that the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Criminal Department, the Department of Ceremonies, and even the Jinyi Guard and other yamen will soon have manpower stationed in Yangzhou, and many things do not need to be understood too much by the Cabinet Department, and there will be professionals to help him do it well.

You can say that the officials of the Ming Dynasty don't understand government affairs, but if you really want to talk about this kind of beauty difference that can make a lot of money-

Hehe.

They will make you understand what the means are!

Breaking the county order, destroying the door order Yin.

Is it a joke?

……

The next day, as Xu Changqing expected, a large number of people rushed over from Nanjing, including Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Hou Xun and other cabinet elders, all rushed over, and the cabinet except for one person who stayed in Nanjing to deal with daily trivial matters, almost poured out.

Xu Changqing no longer stayed in Yangzhou at this time, and after a brief meeting with Ma Shiying and others, he left Shi Kefa with a thousand model soldiers, and Zhu Guobi to coordinate and deal with many affairs, so he set off directly to Nanjing.

Although this is similar to 'taking off your pants and farting', the appearance still has to be made, and Xu Changqing must avoid this suspicion.

To tell the truth, even if it is the fat meat of the Lianghuai Salt Farm, Xu Changqing does not take a penny, it will not affect Xu Changqing anything, in the previous process, Xu Changqing has already made a lot of money.

But, do they dare not give him Xu Changqing's share?

The answer, of course, is no!

However, even if he gets these money, Xu Changqing will not bring them back to Haicheng, but will stay in Jiangnan, do more good deeds, encourage more studies, and build more infrastructure, especially official roads and docks......

It's a pity that there are many affairs and time is tight, and Xu Changqing really doesn't have time to appreciate the customs of Yangzhou.

Spring breeze ten miles Yangzhou Road.

Ten years of Yangzhou dream.

Xu Changqing is still very interested in the city of Yangzhou, which is also a market that Xu Changqing values very much in the future.

At this time, in terms of entertainment industry, except for Nanjing and Yangzhou, Suzhou is not good.

I didn't have time to take Kong Xi's mother and daughter for a walk, so I could only wait for the return trip to see if there was any time.

……

A day and a half later, when Xu Changqing led his troops to the riverside, Wang Xi, who had been staying here for a while, and Zhu Guangzhi, the deputy chief military officer of Songjiang, had been waiting here for a long time.

"Humble Zhu Guangzhi, I have seen Hou Ye, I have heard of Hou Ye's tiger power for several years, and today I can see Hou Ye with my own eyes, it is really a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes......."

As soon as Wang Xi kowtowed to Xu Changqing, Zhu Guangzhi knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and kowtowed to Xu Changqing desperately, full of tricks.

Xu Changqing smiled and looked at this swarthy old gangster who was full of fierce lines, and after a moment, he said without hurrying: "Zhu Junmen is polite, please get up quickly." Changqing has also heard the name of Zhu Junmen for a long time, at this time, I can get Zhu Junmen to abandon the dark and help Ming, like a tiger with wings! ”

Although Xu Changqing's words are a lot of falsehoods, the truth is almost half and half, and he has indeed been paying attention to Zhu Guangzhi.

This guy is a real 'mixed river dragon'!

Especially his several ironclad centipede ships, if they really want to play with their lives, the fleet of the model army may not be opponents.

Of course, his centipede ship also has great flaws.

Design factors determine that on the river, the centipede boat can indeed run rampant and is very fierce, but if it really reaches the sea, it will be a burp, and Xu Changqing can strangle him casually.

"Hehe, Master Xie."

Zhu Guangzhi laughed innocently, and got up with a grunt.

He is not stupid, Xu Changqing's appreciation of him at this time can make him even happier than Zhu Cihong's appreciation of him.

Because he knows very well who is the real controller of this huge dynasty.

After a few simple greetings, Zhu Guangzhi couldn't wait to show his loyalty to Xu Changqing.

He didn't just take his life this time. The two centipede boats came over, and they also brought hundreds of ships of all kinds, just to help Xu Changqing cross the river.

Xu Changqing also saw the legendary centipede ship for the first time, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

How so?

Xu Changqing was also slightly shocked for a while, and didn't know how to express it.

The two centipede boats were like two huge centipedes at this time, quietly parked on the shore, and at least hundreds of paddles sticking out of the side of the boat were really shocking.

If you have a dense phobia, I'm afraid you don't dare to look at it more.

Because of the many iron sheets wrapped in it, and the years seem to be a little old and the formation of many dark colors, if Mu glances at the past-

It's like a big centipede alive, waiting by the river to eat people.

Xu Changqing didn't cross the river in a hurry, but said with a smile: "I'm a little tired these days, and it's a little late, so let's leave tomorrow." Zhu Junmen, although you and I are meeting for the first time, we have been friends for a long time, tonight, you must have a few drinks! ”

Zhu Guangzhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Hasn't he been friends with Xu Changqing for a long time?

The fleet of the previous model army passed through Chongming Island several times, and he has always been in a state of forbearance with Xu Changqing's prestige, and now that he thinks about it, this thing is really blessed by his ancestors.

If he really followed the advice of a few bastards under his command who saw the money and had an eye for money, and confronted the model army, then I am afraid that the dragon lord in the river would not be able to protect him.

Zhu Guangzhi is also a person who leads troops, just looking at the aura of the main force of the model army not far away, it is by no means comparable to his mud legs.

Hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Changqing, and personally went to Zhang Luo's model army camp and the banquet in the evening.

However, Xu Changqing was still a little worried about him, and beckoned Wang Xi to stare at the point.

When they left, Xu Changqing lit a bag of cigarettes, and finally had time to come to the riverside and look at the two centipede boats more carefully.

When you really get closer, you can understand that the reason why Zhu Guangzhi has been rampant on the Yangtze River for several years and has always pressed his opponent is definitely not unreasonable.

Xu Changqing originally thought that things like centipede boats were all made of wood, and what kind of bear could they be, but they were just rumors.

However!

Really stand here and feel this centipede-type ugly monster that is at least thirty meters long, slightly flattened but at least five or six tall, almost armed to the teeth by iron bags, in order to feel that shock!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a big monster lying on the river, and its appearance alone can scare people to death.

Although Xu Changqing didn't know much about the warship, he could understand what its advantages were after carefully looking at the configuration of the two centipede ships.

At this time, although it was impossible to see how wide the two centipede ships were because of the angle, they could see about the same.

It's like a long, flat box.

Even Xu Changqing personally counted how many oars there were, which was definitely more than a hundred, around one hundred and two.

This means that there are more than 240 sailors on the centipede boat just for rowing!

Add to that the design of its size.

You can imagine its explosive power on the river!

Even if it is a model army's great warship, as long as it is the dragon. If you hit the root of the angle, it will definitely be more auspicious.

However, Xu Changqing soon discovered the shortcomings of this centipede ship, there were only three or five guns on one ship, and on the other, only one gun on the bow of the ship, and the rest of the place was gone.

Obviously, Zhu Guangzhi's gang of Jiang bandits ran rampant on the river, not relying on firearms to fight the world, but relying on brute force.

In Xu Changqing's memory, Westerners should have done this thing, but it should be based on firearms, and the effect must be stronger than Zhu Guangzhi's.

But Zhu Guangzhi's ship is also equipped with a lot of long-range weapons such as trebuchets and big hard crossbows, and it can be seen that this guy still has a certain foresight.

……

Xu Changqing stayed by the river for almost an hour, Zhu Guangzhi's banquet was ready, and he came to invite Xu Changqing to the table, Xu Changqing came back to his senses, and his whole body was already a little unaware of the cold river breeze.

The road ahead is still slow and long-term!

Xu Changqing even had a little pain at the root of his teeth at this time!

If it was back in that era, Xu Changqing would have to go into battle shirtless in person, and the big guy who burned the blueprints of the Three Treasure Eunuch treasure boats would not even know him!

There are also those bigwigs and maritime merchants who eat inside and out, just for their own selfish interests, and devour smuggling interests, they really fucking punish their ten clans and don't understand their hatred!

Otherwise, with the foundation left by the Three Treasure Eunuchs, Da Ming has already entered a new heyday!

The dinner was quite sumptuous.

There are not only a lot of seafood in the river, but also a lot of game, and the cooking taste is very good.

It seems that Zhu Guangzhi will not only enjoy it, but his foundation is not weak.

Xu Changqing and Zhu Guangzhi have a slight conflict of interest, but it is far from the time to break out at this time, and Zhu Guangzhi has done a good job of face at this time, which can be regarded as giving Xu Changqing enough face, and Xu Changqing will not let him feel uncomfortable.

So this meal was very pleasant.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Everyone had a lot of alcohol, and the atmosphere was lively.

Xu Changqing said with a smile: "Lao Zhu, you are still a good person, wine is like character, you have no problem with wine, you are a man!" However, although you are a few years older than my Xu Changqing, you can't be my Xu Changqing's brother, do you know why? ”

Zhu Guangzhi was taken aback, and at this time, Xu Changqing's eyes were full of three points of playfulness, but they were even more fierce!

Especially the vast and turbulent momentum of Xu Changqing's body, which instantly made Zhu Guangzhi feel like he was on pins and needles.

This reminded him of the situation when he was a child, when he encountered the big monster in the river, if it wasn't for the luck at that time, a boat happened to pass by, desperately trying to save him, he would have become a good meal for the big monster.

At this time, Xu Changqing gave him the feeling that it was even more powerful than the dangerous aura of the big monster back then, as if the murderous aura was already haunting him.

"No, no, I don't know, Hou Ye, humble, lowly and don't know ......"

Zhu Guangzhi couldn't say anything for a while.

Xu Changqing gathered his momentum at this time, and lightly touched his wine glass with Zhu Guangzhi, "Old Zhu, you haven't been on the battlefield, you haven't killed Tartars, and you haven't shed blood for my Daming!" There are many, many of my Xu Changqing's brothers, all of whom are buried in the earth, but they don't even have a ...... tablet."

"This ......"

Zhu Guangzhi finally came back to his senses, looked at Xu Changqing's somewhat reddened eyes, forced himself to swallow his saliva, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Master Hou, what you said is right, so right." I haven't shed blood for my Daming, it's really the biggest regret of my Lao Zhu's life......"

He was right, with a lot of sincerity.

The man's husband, it's okay to say that the peaceful and prosperous times are peaceful, but in this chaotic era, he has never really been on the battlefield and resisted foreign races, for an old gangster like Zhu Guangzhi who licks blood on the knife's edge, life is really incomplete.

It is also the biggest obstacle to widen the gap between people.

For example, Kong Youde.

If you talk about leading troops, talking about water warfare, including some other aspects, I am afraid that he may not be able to mix with Jiang Long Zhu Guangzhi.

But!

Kong Youde's qualifications are difficult for Zhu Guangzhi to shoot!

Who are the brothers under Kong Youde's command?

Why did he still follow him to the death in such a situation in Shandong until he finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty?

They have shed blood for Daming, and Daming has been unfair to them!

Kong Youde's first sentence when he made a rebellion was 'Mao Shuai is meritorious, why kill him?' ’

However, Zhu Guangzhi is not stupid, although he is a little enthusiastic, he did not say that he is willing to die for Xu Changqing.
