Chapter 63 Sending Zuo Liangyu to the Emperor Zheng Zhilong proposed a clever plan

After dealing with the death row prisoners, Li Jing arranged for someone to send Zuo Liangyu away. Zuo Liangyu stopped scolding people in order to go to the kiln. After coming to Jiangjiang, a team of carriages and horses escorted Zuo Liangyu's family and sent them to Kaifeng.

When he arrived in Kaifeng, Zuo Liangyu also asked: "Why did we get to Kaifeng?" ”

The soldiers who escorted him said to him: "Do you get on board from Kaifeng!" ”

But Zuo Liangyu felt that something was wrong with the soldiers who escorted him before boarding the ship to put him in handcuffs and leg irons. Zuo Liangyu didn't do it, and yelled: "I want to see you Zhang Dongjia, you can't do this to me!" ”

The escort said, "General Zuo, don't embarrass us!" We are afraid that your martial arts are so good that we can't think of jumping into the Yellow River for a while, and we can't afford it. Just bear with me, do us a favor, and our mission will be completed in no time! Otherwise, it's not good for us to do anything to you, is it?"

Zuo Liangyu thought about it, forget it, and couldn't bear not to get along with these little ghosts. When Zuo Liangyu put on handcuffs and shackles and got on the boat, he saw that his son was also wearing handcuffs and shackles, Zuo Liangyu sighed helplessly, lowered his head and couldn't say anything.

But not long after they boarded the boat from Kaifeng, Zuo Liangyu felt as if the ship had stopped again in the bottom warehouse, and the soldiers who escorted him for a while called him out.

Zuo Liangyu asked, "What's the matter?" What are you tossing when you just got on the boat? ”

"Oops! Take the dry road from the north shore! General Zuo come up! The escort was still very polite. But he didn't hear that the escort was saying, "You are going to take the dry road," not that we were going to take the dry road.

Zuo Liangyuhu asked suspiciously: "How good is it to take a boat directly to Yaogang?" What are you tossing about? ”

"Oops! We are also small soldiers, we can only obey orders, General Zuo, you can cooperate! Don't embarrass us. ”

Zuo Liangyu walked out of the cabin uneasily, stepped on the gangway to the dock, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a team of brocade guards on the dock, and he was immediately shocked.

He shouted, "Boy, what are you going to do?" ”

The escort said: "We, General Li, have said that General Zuo has always said that he is an official soldier, and we can't deal with you." Let's see how the emperor treats you! ”

"You can't do this to me!" Zuo Liangyu shouted that he was about to go to the boat, but the way back to the boat had been blocked.

At this time, someone behind Zuo Liangyu spoke, "General, the emperor wants to see you, you better come with me!" ”

Zuo Liangyu saw the prince behind him, and when he saw what he was wearing, he knew that it was the leader of the Jinyi Guard. Sweat ran down his head.

The prince said: "General, the emperor misses you very much, let me personally accompany you into the palace." You're welcome! ”

Zuo Liangyu understood the situation in front of him and shouted: "I want to see Zhang Dongjia, you can't treat me like this!" ”

At this time, a few brocade guards came over, kicked Zuo Liangyu down, and then dragged him into a wooden cage next to him.

Wang Gonggong took a string of wooden cages and prisoners to escort Zuo Liangyu's family away.

The kiln is very lively now. took the places along the Jiujiang River and Poyang Lake, captured Zuo Liangyu and sent it to the capital to the emperor, which is something that everyone is talking about. Everyone has heard too much about Zuo Liangyu, especially the Yaogang Radio and newspapers, which have published in detail the statistics of the crimes committed by Zuo Liangyu's army, which makes everyone hate it even more. The people's opinion is that all that can be published and counted should be in decimal, and most of the crimes they commit will be concealed. Therefore, although the photos of the execution scene were published in the newspapers, the people not only did not feel disgusted, but also said that the killing was good and relieved!

Even this did not affect people's enthusiasm for martial arts and Go competitions. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Zheng Zhilong all participated in the award ceremonies of the two competitions, and then participated in the opening ceremony of the "First Yaogang Commodity Expo".

After the meeting, when Zhang Zhimu was drinking tea with them, Li Zicheng said to Zhang Zhimu: "Oops! Mr. Zhang, I don't want to leave when I return to Yaogang. This is the life of man. The popularity of the kiln makes me not want to leave. ”

"King Chuang, your house is being renovated, and you can move in immediately. I hope you can settle the matter of Annan as soon as possible, and then return to Yaogang. You see, there's so much to do here! Zhang Zhimu said very sincerely.

"Mr. Zhang, don't you say that I want to ask you like this!" Li Zicheng also said very sincerely, "I have made up my mind, and this time I will not only solve the Annan matter, but also solve the Indochina Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula." After these things are done, I will go back to Yaogang, and when I have nothing to do, I will go to Yaogang Square to chat with everyone! ”

"I said King Li Chuang, I haven't seen you for so many years, why are you a little sissy!" Zhang Xianzhong said, "Back to Yaogang, you can still have nothing to do." These days, I haven't seen anything else, but I have seen it when the kiln people are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground! I will finish the matter with Liu Yun and them, and I will go back to Sichuan immediately. When the southwest river Wusizang is calmed, I will also return to Yaogang. At that time, the kiln gang was even more lively! Ha ha! ”

Zheng Zhilong became familiar with everyone during this time, especially Zhang Zhimu and the kiln gang people did not treat him as an outsider at all, and the construction of the house built for him began after consulting him and his family. Although the house cannot be as big as it used to be, the facilities inside are incomparable.

Hearing everyone talking enthusiastically, Zheng Zhilong said to Zhang Zhimu: "Mr. Zhang, I have an idea in the past two days, and I have always wanted to talk about it. ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that what Zheng Zhilong could say here, but he didn't need to keep it a secret from the people here, and said, "Okay! Then speak up and listen! ”

"King Li Chuang is about to march into Annam, I have an idea, you see if it is feasible." Zheng Zhilong said, "Your plan is to have the mountain jungle army advance to Guangxi to open a passage to Annam, and then King Li Chuang's army will follow up and then march into Annam." This is a good way, but now Fujian is all kilns. The situation has changed. Not to mention that Yaogang now has five steel-hulled warships, two 5,000-ton steam sailing ships, six steam fortune ships, and several 1,000-ton steam steam sailing ships. We have more than 3,000 large and small ships in Fujian. Can we take advantage of the superiority of the naval army and take advantage of the winter monsoon to send the army of 50,000 people of King Li Chuang to the port of Haiphong in Annam, from where we can land. By controlling Haiphong Port, we can also take advantage of the superiority of our naval forces to control both sides of the Red River along the Red River, and even enter Tokyo (Hanoi), the national capital of Annam. As long as there are two steel-hulled warships anchored in Haiphong Port, with the power of the huge cannons on board, they can assist King Chuang's army to hold Haiphong Port. In addition, Haiphong Port is the largest port in Annam. After the king occupied the area, he had to be kind to the passing ships, and the gold and silver obtained were enough to feed the army guarding the port of Haiphong. ”

"It's a good idea." Zhang Zhimu saw that Zheng Zhilong could be mixed into the southeast overlord is not in vain, "Annan was called Jiaozhi in ancient times, and since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it has always been a dependency of China, and after five generations, Fang became an independent country." At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Annan took the opportunity to break off the Chinese territory. Since Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty has failed to completely solve the matter of Annan in several expeditions to pacify Annan, and as a result, he had to officially canonize Li Li as the king of Annan in the second year of the orthodoxy of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. This time, if we can adopt Mr. Cheng Zhilong's strategy and gain a firm foothold in Haiphong Port, we will certainly be able to attract a large number of Annam troops to the vicinity of Haiphong Port, and we can use the superiority of the naval army to cooperate with the land army and consume a large amount of Annan people's vital strength. Then we suddenly marched by land. East and west go hand in hand, attack on both sides, and it will achieve miraculous results. I look at this matter, and you will study it with Mr. Chen and Mr. Ouyang. ”

"That's good! But when my soldiers saw the sea, they were stunned. When you get to Annan by boat, you have to spread out on the boat, you can't get off the boat, and you can talk about war? Li Zicheng said with some concern.

"Huh! Seasickness is not afraid, when you get to the shore, it is good to recover for a while. Zheng Zhilong said, "Let Commander Fan, their sailors and marines and my original sailors take the lead for you first, and after gaining a firm foothold on the shore, your army can go ashore and rest!" Besides, the captains of my warships can park their ships in Haiphong Harbor with their eyes closed. These ports are very familiar to them. Wherever there are fortifications, I can clearly mark them on the charts of Fujian. Our steel-hulled warships, according to the marking, just go to the place and fire their guns directly. Hehe! I've learned about those horrible cannons. The fort I built after several years of painstaking construction was overturned by one shot. I look at such a cannon, and after a few shots, the Annamites will run out. ”

"The Annamite people have a characteristic, the Ming Dynasty defeated them several times, they all surrendered, and as soon as you loosened up, they rebelled again. King Chuang arrived in Annam, and after the victory, he had to pay equal attention to grace and power. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Haha!" Li Zicheng laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang! We have so many construction projects, do we need a lot of labor? ”

"Haha!" After listening to King Chuang's words, everyone understood what he meant, and they laughed together.

"What the king said was that those who were disobedient sent back to work as laborers. But keep it for you who are obedient. Annan can produce three crops of rice a year, so let them grow more rice, and you must also build and develop there. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oops! There's one more big thing you forgot. Zhang Xianzhong looked at a very coarse person, and his heart was still very thin, "It's not right to say that the name is not right." King Li Chuang's march into Annam must have a justifiable reason. I saw that Mr. Zhang had a good relationship with Emperor Chongzhen, so I asked for a name for King Li Chuang. Like an envoy to Annan or something, do you think it's not! ”

"Haha! I said the Eight Kings, you have been in the kiln for a few days, and you have done things in a proper way! Li Zicheng was a little unimpressed.

"I agree with the suggestion of the Eight Great Kings, we can ask the emperor for a title." Zhang Zhimu said, "Although Annan speaks different words from us, he uses Chinese characters, and there are still many descendants who are loyal to us in China." We are just going to govern there in the name of the past and restore our orthodox rule. ”

According to Zheng Zhilong's suggestion, the kiln gang people really studied his suggestion seriously at a meeting.

At the meeting, Ouyang He said: "Mr. Zheng's suggestion is very good, a while ago, Commander Fan Chengkun came to a telegram and mentioned this idea, but it was very unspecific. This time, Mr. Zheng Zhilong's suggestion was much more concrete. If this is the case, we will be able to carry out our plan of attacking Annam from the sea by the end of this year, and at that time, our Guangxi side will be ready. I'll report back to you. The water level of the lock on the side of the Lingqu in Guangxi is low, and in the past, our barges could not pass at all, so we could only sail on this side of the Xiangjiang River. However, our mountain and jungle army, in cooperation with our fleet, came up with a way to unload everything that could be unloaded from the tugboat, and then the empty ship passed through the lock and crossed the Ling Canal into the Li River, that is, into the Pearl River system. If my gunboats pass a few more to cover it, the king's army and materials can be transported directly to the border of Annam by tugboat and barge by water after crossing the Ling Canal. ”

When Li Zicheng heard Ouyang He say this, he clapped his hands happily and said, "This is great! Otherwise, the weather in Guangxi will be even hotter, and it will be too uncomfortable for us to march there. In this case, our soldiers, recuperating in boats, will reach the border. ”

"There's good news!" Ouyang He said, "The water network and swamps in Annan are crisscrossed, and several fan-driven gunboats we have developed have been produced, and they can be distributed to you after commissioning." This kind of gunboat has a very shallow draft, and it was more convenient for you in Annam at that time. ”

Li Zicheng couldn't help but say yes when he heard it.

Zheng Zhilong said: "Mr. Zhang, my home here in Yaogang has been arranged, and I will go back with King Chuang." When we arrived in Fujian, we worked with Commander Fan to brake a more detailed plan. We've got a little more detail on our side. If I can, I'll send troops along the way! I'm familiar with things at sea, and I'm familiar with Haiphong Port, so I'm sure I'll be able to help! ”

"Hehe, I originally wanted you to rest more in the kiln, why are you going to join the war?" Zhang Zhimu said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, I am relieved that my family has arranged it. To be honest, it was so comfortable to stay in the kiln. But I'm a person who can't eat and sleep well when I leave the ship, so you let me follow King Chuang to attack Haiphong!" Zheng Zhilong said.

"Okay! Your business, let's look into it! Zhang Zhimu said, "Whether to attack Annam today or not, the plan for attacking by sea and land can be decided." ”

"Mr. Zhang, everyone, I'll rush back to Fujian in the next two days!" Li Zicheng said, "My heart is also anxious!" ”

"I think it's okay, King Chuang, you and more than a hundred middle- and lower-level officers who are training in the kiln can also go with you. They'll have some surprises for you! Ouyang He said.

Li Zicheng thought that these returns were the surprises Ouyang He said. He didn't know that after careful study, the kiln gang decided to equip Li Zicheng with fifty heavy machine guns. And these training officers were trained in heavy machine gun shooting. At the same time, they were also stocked with heavy machine gun ammunition. These 50 heavy machine guns will greatly improve the combat capability of Li Zicheng's army.

Zhang Zhimu discussed with Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He, and agreed to Zheng Zhilong's request to follow Li Zicheng back to Fujian. Ouyang He said to Zhang Zhimu: "Those diving equipment have been sent to Li Jing's special forces. In a few days they will be able to go into the water and probe. ”

Zheng Zhilong returned to Fujian for a while, and he didn't have a chance to return to his house in Ping'an Town. We poked out and took out the treasure without saying anything. Chen Yunfeng said.

"That's right! As if there had never been such a thing! Hehe! Zhang Zhimu agreed with Chen Yufeng's opinion.

The commodity exhibition in Yaogang was very successful, and the exhibition hall set up in the school was full of people coming and going every day. Since the school is not open now, the exhibition hall is located in the school. The classrooms were also temporarily converted into exhibition halls.

The various products of Yaogang attract many people to visit, and many of the products of other exhibitors in other places are also selling well, and there are many merchants who contact them.

However, the kiln officials in various places organized people still focus on those rice mills and grinders that can be driven by diesel and electricity, as well as four-wheel tractors and supporting seeders, ploughshares, and rotary tillage equipment. The people organized by Li Yunhe also gave repeated demonstrations to everyone on the spot. There are also harvesters that have not been fully developed, and the renderings and introductions are also exhibited on the display boards, and such harvesters still attract many people to ask.

When Zhang Zhimu and Huang Yukun went around the exhibition halls together, they couldn't close Lu Chengxiang's mouth when they saw Le. As soon as Lu Chengxiang saw Zhang Zhimu, he said, "Hey! I didn't expect such an exhibition to work so well! We have signed a lot of contracts with many merchants, and now we see that our market for things is much larger, and many people don't know that we have such good things. ”

"How are the merchants who work with us?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Oops! One by one, I can't be happy. When they saw me, they told me that the next time something like this happens, you must inform us. Hehe! Lu Chengxiang said with a light on his face.

"Mr. Lu, I have an idea, we want to build a convention and exhibition center in Yaogang, and the area should be large enough. Every year, we strive to hold a large-scale exhibition, and those who are willing to exhibit can also engage in some small sales activities. After this exhibition, we will study it with Editor-in-Chief Fan and publicize this matter. The next show will be even better! Zhang Zhimu suggested.

"Hmmm! I also think that a large exhibition center should be built, and the number of merchants who will come to the next exhibition will be more. With the exhibition center, the exhibition time can be longer, unlike now, when the school is about to open, and we have to withdraw the exhibition as soon as possible. Allow a few days for other schools to collect time. Lu Chengxiang also happily agreed with Zhang Zhimu's suggestion, there was no silver at all.

Huang Yukun joked: "How could Mr. Lu be so happy this time, he didn't calculate how much money it would cost?" ”

"Huh! I can see that as long as Mr. Zhang wants to spend more money, the more money he spends, the more money he spends! Besides, this little bit of silver can be squeezed out of anywhere. "Lu Chengxiang is now wealthy.

Li Yunhe: They are newly launched to attract everyone, as well as six ** trucks and ten ** trucks, new passenger cars, new cars, and new power cars. Although these are still samples and have not been fully mass-produced, everyone knows that these will be on the market soon. Therefore, the onlookers every day are also three layers inside and three layers outside.

Those engaged in construction are more willing to watch the cranes, pile drivers, crawler bulldozers, crawler excavators and other large machinery on display in the kiln. It's hard to get the chance to read them all, let alone have someone to explain and demonstrate.

Before the exhibition was over, Li Yunhe invited Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He to the shooting range to watch the rocket artillery test. Together, they took a car to the shooting range.

On the way, Ouyang He said to Zhang Zhimu: "Mr. Zhang, I have something to tell you. After we completed the expansion, we arranged it this way. That Wei Xiang, Lin Feng, and Shi Xiu no longer held the position of army commander. They were transferred back to the command center and staff. ”

"Huh! The commander of the Lingshui Eight Masters can't arrange it. yes! Their subordinates are all on the same level as them, and they will not feel comfortable. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Not only do I think about these, but I also think that they, like Liu Yun, should also come back and change positions to exercise. Besides, two teams will soon be organized to study the Mongols in Mobei and the Western Regions, and capable people will also need to participate. Ouyang He said, "Also, a war on the Liaodong side may not be as easy as fighting Li Zicheng and them, and when the time comes, you also need a general who can go to the front of the enemy." ”

"Good! You're thinking very comprehensively. Zhang Zhimu said, "I see, your and Uncle Chen's knives are already pointing north." ”

"Yes! Leave the affairs of the south to them! There's nothing to worry about! Chen Yunfeng said, "The next thing is a little tricky." I think those people in Liaodong can really calm down, visit around the kiln, and they are not idle at all. I don't know what that Fan Wencheng thinks? ”

"They have a channel to send letters to Liaodong, and Li Zhi's people have mastered it." Ouyang said, "Anyway, they will definitely go back when the autumn begins." Otherwise, the heavy snow will close the mountain, and they will go back to Liaodong with our people! We don't need to rush. ”
