Chapter Ninety-Seven: Honesty as a Good Businessman (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
In the end, Tang Laosi is a small army leader who has been in battle for a long time, or is he well commanded. Three or four hundred people lay down in the muddy water under his orders. The sand boat gang's squad doves really can't beat them. If you can't fight, of course you won't fight.
Tang Laosi saw that the other party did not fire, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Lao Tzu is the general of Tang Zongzhen, the general of Tianjin Wei Guoyi of the Dashun Dynasty, and he was ordered to patrol the river, which one are you waiting for?" Do you know that if you have returned to King Chuang today? ”
He called someone to beat him today, and he lost seven or eight brothers, so he always had to ask the other party's name clearly, right? Those sand boats don't have flags, and they don't even know which one they are!
Shen Tingyang, who was standing behind a shooting hole and watching, heard Tang Laosi's shout, and immediately answered, not speaking the official dialect of Chongming, nor the dialect of Chongming's hometown, but the official dialect of Quanzhou.
"The people on the shore listened, the baby (I) is a businessman of the Zheng family in Anping, and the eldest brother of the first official asked the baby to transport grain for the Ming court......"
Tang Laosi didn't understand, and asked left and right: "What the hell are you talking about?" Do you understand? ”
Someone next to him actually understood and explained: "Mr. General, they seem to be some kind of merchant ship of the Zheng family in Anping, and they were sent by a person called Yiguan Big Brother Gong to replace the imperial court, no, they are transporting grain for Zhu thief." ”
"Fuck! The Zhu thieves have all perished......" Tang Laosi scolded and opened his mouth again, "Listen, the people on the ship listen, the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, and now it is the world of the Dashun Dynasty, you businessmen want to know each other, so hurry to the shore and dedicate all the food on the ship to Dashun!" Lao Tzu spares you from dying! ”
"Wa (I) know that Beijing called Liukou to fight, but Tianjin is still in the hands of the imperial court." Shen Tingyang continued to reply in Quanzhou official dialect, "The baby is a businessman, so he should be honest, since he has received money from the imperial court, he must transport the grain to Tianjin......
"Damn," after Tang Laosi understood what the other party meant, he scolded again, "What do you mean by honesty?" In this year, the officials were all in the Qin Dynasty, and the businessmen were still honest when they broke ...... If you don't come again, Lao Tzu can go back and report to King Chuang! ”
"Whatever you want!" Shen Tingyang said solemnly, "The eldest brother of the first official is a good businessman based on integrity, and he will never regret what he promised to the customer!" ”
"Damn, there are times when you cry!" Donald Si's nest fire. This year is really unfavorable, not to mention Li Zicheng, who followed Tang Tong to call people, but also met a group of unreasonable honest businessmen...... Honest fart! How can an honest businessman kill someone with a firecracker? These guys aren't good people at first glance, they must be pirates!
Woohoo Woo ......
When Donald was on fire, the fire rang out again. However, it was not Shen Tingyang's boat that fired again, but the sand boat following behind was firing. More than 100 boats were running around, and each boat crackled twenty or thirty times when it passed the place where Tang Laosi was lying on his stomach. Three or four hundred people can only lie in the cold muddy water and dare not get up, and they don't know if they will catch a cold?
……
"Anping Zheng family, the eldest brother of an official...... What kind of businessmen are they? Why aren't you afraid of the Great Shun Army? ”
Outside the Tianjin Acropolis, inside the Chinese army tent of the Dashun Army, Li Guo was also stunned after listening to Tang Laosi's report.
It's really strange that there are many things every year, and this year there are so many!
Li Guo has been an anti-thief for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has met a businessman who is not afraid of anti-thieves! It's just that the officials and soldiers are not afraid of thieves, why are businessmen not afraid of them? Could it be that after entering the city of Beijing and changing from an anti-thief to an official army, the deterrent effect of the banner of the word "Chuang" will not work?
"Master Hou, the lower officials have heard of the Zheng family in Anping."
It was Tang Tong who spoke. Now that the original Yuzong of Tianjin Bingbei Dao and Yang Weihan are still there, they will definitely guess that it is Shen Tingyang's sand boat gang who came to Tianjin Wei. But those two had just been called to Beijing by Li Zicheng - Li Zicheng wanted to find out whether Zhu Cihong and Wu Sangui in the Tianjin Acropolis were true or false, so he called them away. And Tang Tong didn't understand the situation, so he really thought that Zheng Zhilong's people were coming.
"Where are they merchants?" Li asked.
"They're not serious businessmen, they're pirates." Tang Tong shook his head and said, "The leader's surname is Zheng, his name is Zheng Yiguan, also known as Zheng Zhilong, he was originally a giant thief in the Nanyang Sea!" In the first year of Chongzhen, he was recruited by Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, and became a coastal defense guerrilla. Later, because of his meritorious work in fighting thieves at sea, he was constantly promoted and became the chief military officer of Fujian. ”
"What? It's a good giant thief who didn't do it, so he surrendered to the Zhu thief as a lackey? Is it impossible to beat or what? Li Guo only thought it was incredible, "And it was Xiong Wencan's stupid supervisor who recruited An...... Won't he surrender? ”
"It's not that you can't beat it," Tang Daodao, "the southeast sea is the most powerful of the Yiguan Party, it is said that there are many large Western ships, the guns are strong, and the sailors of the Zhu thief are not opponents at all...... Why is he willing to be the lackey of the Zhu thief, the lower officials don't understand.
However, after Zheng Yiguan took refuge in Zhu Thief, he was indeed loyal, not a fraudulent surrender. In a few years, Zheng Yiguan leveled Yuekou, recruited Li, repelled the invasion of Xiaheyi, and eliminated the sea thief Liu Xiang. At that time, the governor of Fujian played the imperial court for this: Zhilongguo made miraculous feats and captured its ugly kind, which was unprecedented for more than ten years at sea. ”
"It's really hard!" Li Guo rolled his eyelids, "How much money did Emperor Zhu Thief give to the surname Zheng?" ”
"I don't give a penny," Tang Tong shook his head and said, "Zheng Yiguan's navy does not take the salary of the Zhu thief, and Zheng Yiguan builds and supports himself, but gives the army a very generous salary......
Li Guo couldn't believe his ears, and said with a glare: "What? Is there still such a loyal minister on the side of the Zhu thief? ”
Tang Tong said with a smile: "Master Hou, Zheng Yiguan is just a mercenary businessman, he is willing to work for Zhu Thief like this, it must be profitable, but we don't know where the benefits are?" Just figure it out and bring him down. ”
Li Guo waved his hand, "That's a later story...... What now? The emperor and the crown prince of the Zhu thief won't run away by boat, right? ”
"I can't run," Tang Daodao, "It's been a southeast wind these days, and the wind is quite strong, and the boat from Dagu is a tailwind, and it will be a headwind to go to Dagu." And even if you get to Dagu, you can't go out to sea if the wind direction is wrong. ”
"But the wind won't keep blowing!" Li Guo frowned, "As soon as the wind and rain stop, the Zhu thief should go downstream...... How good is that? ”
"Don't worry, Master Hou, Li Yan has come to help the general break the Zhu thief!"
Before Li Guo's words fell, the curtain of the Chinese army's big tent was lifted, and a male voice with a Henan accent sounded at the same time. Then a man and a woman walked in. The woman is dressed in red, charming as a spring flower, ripe as a peach, and is a famous female general in the army of King Chuang. The man with her was Li Yan.
Seeing Li Yan and the Red Lady arrive, Li Guo's frowning brows suddenly expanded, and he laughed: "I just received a report from Tang, and the Zhixian couple wanted to lead troops with Chen Yongfu to help, but I didn't expect to come so soon...... If you're here, you won't have to worry about not being able to beat Tianjin Wei! ”
……
"Chief helmsman, there is something wrong with this Tianjin Wei!"
"What's wrong?"
"Murderous ...... Didn't the helmsman realize? ”
"Well, it's a little. There is still soldiers patrolling in such heavy rain...... Someone is coming, and the leader seems to be the one who is Jinyiwei! You ready? ”
"It's ready."
"Bring it."
A loyal businessman based on integrity, Shen Tingyang, the chief helmsman of the Shachuan Gang, stretched out his hand and took the document from the hand of a steward beside him, which was the order of Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Fujun Army, and there was a gold leaf in the paper.
Walking towards the helmsman of Shen was Ren Yizhou, a thousand household officials of Jinyi Weibei Town, under the jurisdiction of the Generalissimo's Mansion, and his dozen or so subordinates. He was a "loyal minister" who took refuge in Zhu Cihong during the change of Huangjimen, and he was a hundred households at that time, and now he has been promoted to a thousand households. It is one of the 10,000 households under the reorganized Beizhen Fusi (the official title is 1,000 households, and the number of people under its jurisdiction is no more than 100), and he was ordered to take charge of the security of Tianjin Weihe Wharf.
"Guozijian Siye, manager shipping and Liaodong payroll Shen Tingyang was ordered to come to Tianjin Wei." Shen Tingyang smiled and handed the order with the gold leaf to Ren Yizhou, who walked in front of him.
Ren Yizhou opened the decree book and saw the gold leaf inside, so he stretched out his finger and grabbed the gold leaf that weighed at least one or two weights, handed it back to Shen Tingyang, smiled bitterly, and said, "Shen Siye, I can't take your gold leaf." ”
