Chapter 225: I want to reap the benefits of Zheng Zhilong

Wu Tiande certainly knows what he has done.

The most important thing is actually the whereabouts of these grains, Wu Tiande is not really ignorant.

Ganghwa Island is just a transit point. The ultimate goal is actually directed to Jiannu's side.

But Wu Tiande felt that it was nothing at first, after all, his good brother Wu Weiye, who had already been out of Wufu for I don't know how many generations, had been cut off by Emperor Chongzhen, if the relationship was closer, it would be himself, but I was afraid that he would also be implicated.

At that time, watching Wu Weiye's whole family being taken away by Jinyiwei's people from a distance, Wu Tiande had the heart to save it, but he couldn't do anything, but because of this, he hated Emperor Chongzhen, who was prone to punish people and nine clans.

When Li Cripple, a friend who has known each other for many years and a business partner who can't see the light at sea, found him and signaled that he wanted to pour some food for Jiannu, Wu Tiande, who had long been thinking about how to vent his anger but not implicate himself, was moved.

First, he sent his eldest son to Shaanxi to find his old friend, Shen Xiuting, the magistrate of Lantian County.

Wu Qi and Wu Da Company, who wanted food, and Shen Xiuting, the magistrate of Lantian County, who wanted silver, hit it off, and joined forces to grab food from the mouths of the victims, and then sent it back to Shanghai County, a subordinate of Jiaxing, through layers of cover.

After that, there were some forces on the sea, but they were not too big, and the little pirate Li Cripple who would not attract Zheng Yiguan's attention made a grand appearance.

In the name of the Koreans and the Japanese slaves, they first sent the grain to Ganghwa Island and sold it to Gwanghaejun, who was bent on restoring and reconquering Korea, as the capital for the uprising, and then the other part was transferred again, bypassing the Dongjiang River, and going ashore in the northeast of Korea to resell it to the Gonnu.

Several of these forces collude with each other and lean on each other as horns, and the degree of tightness can be said to be one link after another.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and they originally did seamless things, no one would have thought that because Emperor Chongzhen suddenly went crazy, he ran to Lantian County, and he saw those starving mud legs so coincidentally.

However, fortunately, the communication and transportation at this time were not developed enough, and Emperor Chongzhen killed a lot of people in Shaanxi, but Wu Tiande, who was in Jiaxing, did not receive the news at all.

Even Wu Tiande never doubted whether there was something wrong with his eldest son Wu Qi, let alone prepare to run away in advance.

It's just that now that the East Window incident has happened, Wu Tiande no longer has the possibility of getting lucky, and he just hopes that one more day of concealment is one day, and one more day of living is a day of earnings.

Xu Xianchun didn't know what Wu Tiande was thinking at this time, but when he saw that Wu Tiande had agreed to cooperate with him, Xu Xianchun said: "When is the next delivery time with that Li lame?" ”

Wu Tiande calculated the next day in his heart, and said with a sneer: "If you go back to your lordship, the time for the next delivery is set in six days." ”

Xu Xianchun hummed, and then asked, "Then have the two sides agreed on the time and the code of the joint?" ”

Wu Tiande said cautiously: "Back to my lord, the time is six days later, and before the end of the evening, it is eighteen miles away from Jiangwan."

When the time comes, Li Cripple's people and villains will use three torches as a number, and when Li Cripple's ship docks, they will first unload the silver, and then carry the grain onto the ship. ”

Xu Xianchun snorted, and no longer paid attention to Wu Tiande, and instructed the Jinyi Wei Qianhu who was standing next to him: "Go and send someone to inform that Wang Wei from Dongchang to see the governor."

Also, with the name of the governor, he quickly went to Fujian, informed the governor of Fujian, Xiong Wencan, and asked him to bring the guerrilla general Zheng Yiguan of the naval division to Jiaxing, and then let him go ashore to meet the governor.

In addition, he clearly told him that Zheng Yiguan needed his cooperation to suppress Li Cripple this time, so that he could use more thought and not shock Li Cripple. ”

After the thousand households received the order and left, Pingbian Hou Batel, who had never spoken during the whole process, said: "Lord Xu, I haven't let our cavalry show your face this time, and you can use us in six days, right?" ”

Xu Xianchun, who secretly scolded himself for his mistake, snorted and said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't worry. To catch such a few things, of course, there is no need for Hou Ye to come out.

It's just that six days later, when the lame Li comes ashore to receive the grain, he needs the Hou Ye to lead the cavalry to quickly cut off the return route they uploaded, and capture the cripple Li. ”

When Battle heard this, he smiled and said, "This is very good, very good. ”

Zhao Xingquan, who had been following Xu Xianchun's side, rushed from Jiaxing to the location of Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, and after explaining his intentions, Xiong Wencan did not dare to delay, and directly ordered someone to take Zhao Xingquan to find Zheng Yiguan.

As the saying goes, if you want to be an official, you will be recruited to kill people and set fires, Zheng Zhilong is a typical example, from a pirate, to a regular army of the Ming Water Division.

Except for the fact that a dead eunuch was sent as a prison soldier and a brocade-clothed guard Baihu when recruiting An at the beginning, there was no other action, which made Zheng Zhilong scratch his head for a while.

But Zheng Zhilong is sincere after all, and he doesn't bother to think about some things.

Most of his subordinates are their own brothers, and most of them have not gone out of the five suits, they have been broken up and reorganized, and it is not difficult to reunite, so it can be regarded as some confidence.

It's just that after meeting Zhao Xingquan sent by Xu Xianchun, Zheng Zhilong was in a burst of pain.

Li Cripple, a bastard, has known him for a long time. The friendship is not good, and the two sides have fought several times because of their disagreements.

Zheng Zhilong actually looks down on Li Cripple. Li Cripple's stupid bird is obviously the kind of person who wants money and doesn't want his life, and he acts ruthlessly, greedy for money and lustful, unscrupulous in doing things, and for the sake of silver, he simply has no bottom line at all.

Since this time it was the intention of Admiral Xu Xianchun of Jinyiwei, and he got the emperor's will, then he could be regarded as being able to slap the cripple Li in a righteous and bright way.

Zheng Zhilong, who had made up his mind, did not avoid Zhao Xingquan, but said in front of him: "Come on, go and call the second and third children to Lao Tzu." ”

After Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao and the others came over together, Zheng Zhilong said: "First come to see Lord Zhao Qianhu Zhao of Jinyiwei." ”

After more than a dozen original pirate leaders and Zhao Xingquan greeted each other, Zheng Zhilong said straight to the point: "This official has received an order from Lord Xu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, asking us to go to Shanghai County and kill Li Cripple. ”

Although Zheng Zhilong had already recruited An as an official at this time, after all, he was born as a pirate, and his mouth was full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't change it at all. As for the seventeen brothers under his command, who are known as the Eighteen Zhi together, they are also a virtue, and everyone is happy with it, and they don't think about anything like official honor and authority.

Zheng Zhihu, who can fight the most, spoke first: "Big brother, then let's go." That cripple Li has been recruiting An since we recruited him, but he is very arrogant, clamoring for every ship on the sea to pay him peace silver. ”

Zheng Zhilong, who hadn't paid attention to the affairs of the sea for a long time, but was busy training for fun, and striving to become a real general of the Ming Navy Division as soon as possible, was furious when he heard this, his leopard eyes opened, and he scolded angrily: "him!" When will it be his turn to speak on this sea? I'm not dead yet! ”

Zheng Zhifeng is not like Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu, who only know how to fight and kill, Zheng Zhifeng, who has long been determined to be admitted to the martial arts examination, feels that even if it is a war, he has to use his brains, and he doesn't use his brains, and it is just Lu Bu's personal courage to die.

Therefore, Zheng Zhifeng did not jump like thunder like Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu, but arched his hand towards Zhao Xingquan and said: "Lord Zhao, Zheng Zhifeng, I still have a question in my heart, and I ask Lord Zhao to give advice." ”

When Zhao Xingquan heard this, he also arched his hand and said, "Lord Zheng is polite, please speak." ”

Zheng Zhifeng said: "If it is according to what Brother Fang Cai said, Li Cripple is going to Shanghai County?" It's just that after all, we are the masters of the Ming Dynasty, and once we go to Shanghai, we will inevitably be perceived by Li Cripple, so I think it is a little inappropriate? ”

Zhao Xingquan nodded and said: "These things on the sea, don't say that Zhao is a rough person, even the Admiral may not be able to match the few people here."

Therefore, when Zhao came, the Admiral had an explanation. What the Admiral wants is the head of the Cripple Li, so that the Cripple Li will not run away from the sea again, and even how you go, or how to deal with the Cripple Li, the Admiral will not interfere, just do whatever you do. ”

When Zheng Zhifeng heard this, he nodded. This Admiral Xu is a man who knows about military affairs.

War at sea is inherently different from war on land.

Not to mention the god who turns his face when he says he will turn his face, just the unobstructed sea is enough for the enemy to find himself from a distance and flee - unless his own is much faster than the enemy's, it is possible to catch up, otherwise once he finds it, he will immediately run away and chase a fart.

Especially in the current situation, several of his brothers have recruited officers and soldiers, so Li Cripple can't help his family's power soar? And how dare you go to war with yourself?

It's just that Zheng Zhifeng doesn't know that Xu Xianchun knows a fart about military affairs. It's just that I saw that Emperor Chongzhen always said that professional things should be handed over to professional people to do this, and I secretly remembered it in my heart.

Thinking that he had not commanded the army alone, he simply learned from Emperor Chongzhen and let those who knew how to fight go to war, anyway, these people fought well, and they also had light on their faces, right?

Zheng Zhifeng pondered for a while, and then said to Zheng Zhilong: "Big brother, if it is said that someone will solve this cripple Li, the younger brother has a candidate." ”

Zheng Zhilong hadn't spoken yet, but Zheng Zhihu glared and said, "Who?" I'll tell you the fifth brother, I'll decide this matter, brother. You can't rob your brother. ”

Zheng Zhifeng smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. Our original eighteen Zhi brothers can't go. ”

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu were both staring, Zheng Zhifeng waved his hand, as if Zhuge Liang shook a feather fan, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry." Our brothers are now the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's sailors, so Li Cripple will inevitably flee from the wind. When the time comes, where will we chase after this vast sea?

But there is one person who can just stop him Li Cripple, let's lead troops to cover him, and it will not be too late for both of them to pick up troops and appear again. ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, his heart moved. This method is indeed the safest, firstly, it can prevent Li Cripple from discovering himself in advance and escaping, on the other hand, no matter who Zheng Zhifeng is talking about, anyway, the power of the person who was pushed out will definitely be weakened, and in the end, his own family will take advantage.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was no longer as impatient as he was just now, Zheng Zhifeng spoke: "Li Qizi's gang, the eldest brother must know. ”

Seeing that Zheng Zhifeng was talking about Li Qizi's little girl, Zheng Zhilong was anxious and said angrily: "Fart!" Li Qizi, this little lady has a good relationship with us, and sooner or later she can be incorporated into our command, so you can bear to send her to death? ”

Zheng Zhifeng shook his head and said, "Big brother, don't worry. The younger brother already knew that the eldest brother had a mind about Li Qizi. It's not that the younger brother wants to send this future sister-in-law to die, the younger brother is afraid that the eldest brother will pick up the skin of the younger brother. ”

Zheng Zhilong, who was exposed to his thoughts, blushed, but fortunately, he had been fighting at sea for many years, and he couldn't see it under the wind and sun.

Zheng Zhifeng continued: "The small method is to give this future sister-in-law a fortune.

As long as this future sister-in-law and that cripple Li are handed over to the soldiers, let's cover up the past again, and we won't even have half an hour's time.

As long as the sister-in-law can entangle Li Cripple, where can Li Cripple escape? When the time comes, Li Cripple will give the head, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law will be a great achievement.

In this way, the sister-in-law can also be justifiably recruited and entitled, and the eldest brother can also take the opportunity of the hero to save the beauty to go to the door to propose marriage. ”

When Zheng Zhifeng finished his shameless words, all the pirate-born guys laughed, but the indescribable meaning of it was up to each person to understand it.

Zheng Zhilong smiled and looked at Zhao Xingquan. These people only cared about discussing how to kill Li Cripple and reap benefits for themselves by the way, but they completely forgot that Zhao Xingquan was a thousand households of Jinyiwei.

Zhao Xingquan smiled and said to Zheng Zhilong: "General Zheng doesn't have to look at me, Zhao is not one of those rotten Confucians." We are all on errands for Your Majesty, as long as we don't violate this great law, what's the matter with making it easier for ourselves? Even if His Majesty knows, he won't say anything. As for the words of Brother Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng, Zhao didn't understand. ”

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was puzzled, Zhao Xingquan said: "Zhao really doesn't understand these things about naval warfare. Fang Cai Zhao has also said that the meaning of the Admiral is that it will be handled by a few of them, and the Admiral only needs the head of the lame Li, and does not ask about the rest. ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he smiled and arched his hand at Zhao Xingquan: "Let Lord Zhao laugh, my brothers are all rough people, and they don't listen to them when they are asked to read more on weekdays, and they always regard themselves as coarse." ”

Zheng Zhilong first sincerely revealed his shortcomings, and then said: "Since this is the case, then the official will arrange it himself?" ”

Seeing Zhao Xingquan nodding, Zheng Zhilong ordered: "Fourth, if you come up with an idea, you will contact Li Qizi yourself." Tell her that Lao Tzu is promising her a great fortune. ”

Seeing Zheng Zhifeng receiving the order, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly added: "Also, tell that little girl, don't always jump and cut people like a man, that's the old man's business, let her hide honestly so as not to hurt her." ”

PS: The time of the tyrant's resignation is March 12th, and he will officially start full-time after the 13th. Eruptions occur irregularly during this period. But I have been doing a lot of work recently, so please forgive me.
