Zhou Zheng smiled, but he was still thinking about the great changes in the imperial court.

In this big change, no one can say who will benefit, there is no winner in this big brawl, and Da Ming is the biggest loser.

However, the chaos of the imperial court did give Zhou Zheng the opportunity not only to get out of the way and concentrate on his innovation in the three places of Liaodong, but also to obtain the policies he needed.

This year, for Daming, should be a relatively good period for more than ten years. Jianyu did not come to attack, the rebellion in the northwest almost disappeared, except for the more and more fierce fighting of the imperial court, the others all had a kind of ruin waiting to be revived, thriving.

In August, Zhou Zheng was in Tianjin, inspecting the sailors.

The Ming Dynasty sailors were basically divided into two parts, one in Bohai Bay and one in Fujian.

The Bohai Sea belonged to the governor of Denglai and was arranged in Lushun and Weihaiwei.

There were sixty full-fledged warships, not counting the other small ships, and the number of soldiers was six thousand two hundred and seventy.

The sailors conducted an exercise outside the Tianjin Wei Sea, and Zhou Zheng invited officials from the imperial court, Shandong, and Liaodong to observe, as well as some Koreans, Wa countries, and Xiyi people, and the number was not much.

The intensity of the exercises was also limited, and they were nothing more than naval shelling and landing operations. In Zhou Zheng's eyes, this is just the beginning, whether it is the number of warships, soldiers, weapons and equipment, or combat methods, they are all extremely immature.

But now Zhou Zheng can't do much, and he can't eat fat people in one bite, so he needs to slowly lay a good foundation.

The imperial court and officials from all over the country were very satisfied, and they were a rainbow fart for Zhou Zheng.

Xiyi, Wa Guo and others had solemn faces and whispered.

After Zhou Zheng entertained a group of people, with the smell of wine, he stood on a restaurant and looked at Tianjin Weihai.

Huang Long stood behind Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "My lord, this exercise was very successful, and the people in the military department were very satisfied, saying that they would write a letter to ask for merit for the adults." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, looked at the sea and said, "The sailor should have someone to lead, who do you think is more suitable?" ”

Huang Long was stunned, thought about it carefully, and suddenly said, "Please show me." ”

At this time, Shangguan Lie came in with a plate, and said a little anxiously: "Brother-in-law, drink some sobering tea, otherwise my sister will definitely talk about you when I go back." ”

If it was in the past, Shangguan Qing wouldn't say anything, but now - Shangguan Qing is pregnant.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, took the bowl a little helplessly, took a sip, and said, "Do you think it's better to lead the water master?" ”

Under Zhou Zheng's hands, there are actually a lot of talents, especially in Liaodong, Tianjinwei, and Shandong, where there are many battles, and there is no shortage of generals. But the water master, Zhou Zheng is very concerned, and he is not at ease with ordinary people.

Shangguan Lie looked at Zhou Zheng, blinked, stretched out his head, and said, "Brother-in-law, what do you think of me?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at him and blinked.

Shangguan Lie, who is also nearly thirty years old, does not seem to have changed much from the reckless teenager at the beginning, he is just as reckless when he is reckless, but his temperament is a little more mature, and he can still do good things many times.

Shangguan Lie looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, coughed, and said, "Brother-in-law, look, I have been fighting with you in the north and south for more than ten years, and I have learned at least one or two skills...... It shouldn't be difficult to be a water master, right? ”

The last sentence completely exposed Shangguan Lie's weakness.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "If you don't want to be beaten by your sister, don't open this mouth." ”

Shangguan Lie was not discouraged, and said: "Then the general soldier is not good, my qualifications, give me a deputy general or something, it's not too much, right?" ”

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "This is okay, I'll go back and discuss it with your sister." ”

Shangguan Lie followed Zhou Zheng to fight to the death with Jianlu in the capital, and he also had him in Youtun in Liaodong, and his credit was recorded in the military department, and there was no problem with giving him a deputy general.

Shangguan Lie suddenly smiled and left with the plate.

Zhou Zheng finished handling things and returned to the house after dark.

Shangguan Qing has only been three months old, and he didn't show his feelings, while asking people to boil water to bathe Zhou Zheng, he patted the cotton clothes he had changed, frowned, and said: "You don't have to worry about Guangqian, I'll tell my father tomorrow." ”

Guang shallow, Shangguan Lie's words.

Zhou Zheng didn't expect this kid to speak so quickly, and said with a smile: "He should also be a little serious, it's okay, I'll find someone to watch him." ”

Shangguan Qing frowned, worried that the unreliable younger brother had ruined her husband's affairs, and was about to say more, when he suddenly looked outside the door and said, "Dad." ”

Zhou Zheng just changed his clothes, came out of it, looked at Zhou Qingli standing outside the door, and said in a daze: "Dad, why don't you come in?" ”

Zhou Qingli paused before walking in and said, "Just talk about something." ”

Zhou Zheng was a little curious, waited for Zhou Qingli to sit down, poured him tea, and said, "Dad, what's the matter?" ”

Zhou Qingli took the teacup, didn't drink it, paused again, and then said: "Qian Shouzhi sent a person to Tianjin Wei, let me recommend it to you." ”

Zhou Zheng listened, and then he felt interesting, and sat down opposite Zhou Qingli.

Qian receives it, that is, Qian Qianyi.

It's not that it's interesting that he recommends people, but with Zhou Yanru ascending to the throne of Shoufu again, the influence of the Fushe in the entire Ming Dynasty is immeasurable, and Qian Qianyi, who is the leader of Donglin, has also been strongly promoted, and it was once rumored that he would resurrect and serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, Qian Qianyi recommended people to Zhou Zheng, and he was afraid that he had something hidden in it.

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "I guess I want you to say something for him in the court." The person he recommended was his student, named Zheng Sen, whose name was Damu. ”

Zhou Zheng didn't think so, but after listening to the name, he chewed it a little, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Tianjin Wei's military academy has been built, so let him, a protégé, stay in the academy for a while, and I'll observe." ”

Zhou Qingli was a little strange and said, "Didn't you like money before?" ”

Zhou Zheng smiled: "I still don't like him now, but there is no way for him to come back, and the Sacred Heart hates him." ”

Qian Qianyi is famous for broadcasting, and his qualifications are also thick, the reason why he has not been able to recover in the Chongzhen Dynasty is because the things he did deeply disgusted Chongzhen, even if the political arena has changed one after another, it is not his share.

Zhou Qingli understood, got up and said, "Well, then so be it." ”

After Zhou Qingli finished speaking, she left by herself.

He and Qian Qianyi have some friendship with colleagues, plus the middleman, he really can't shirk it, so he came to Zhou Zheng to speak.

Shangguan Qing watched Zhou Qingli leave, walked over, and said softly: "I found out that Dad, he has been a little old recently. ”

Zhou Zheng sighed lightly and said, "Dad is also an ambitious person. ”

Zhou Qingli has been indifferent to the court situation over the years, how many times have he wanted to be a leader, but in the end he failed to do so for various reasons, and now, even if he wants to be a leader, he can't.

Shangguan Qing pressed Zhou Zheng's shoulder and gently comforted him.

Zhou Zheng patted her hand and said, "Let Shen'er and them accompany their father more and explain it." ”

Shangguan Qing nodded in response.
