Chapter Twenty-Four: Qinglian
Ge Haiyin snorted: "Ye Niangzi, gunpowder and lead are real gold and silver, as for what territory, this Zhejiang, Fujian and foreign areas are all our territory!" ”
Ye Niangzi suddenly jumped on the sail rope again and glanced at Fucheng twice, but saw that in the faint shouting, two shells came with a scream, but it was the green battalion soldiers who finally reacted and fired back.
It was only as soon as these two shells were discharged, Ye Niangzi jumped down from the sail rope again, and talked about her plan again, she spoke quickly and quickly: "Back then, Cai was surrounded by tens of thousands of people and crisscrossed the world, but in the end, he was not killed?" Zhang Baozai is such a character, he can gather more than 100 boats with one sentence, and in the end, he didn't vote for Tartar as a petty official! Meng Jin and I want to find a good way out for everyone. ”
Ge Haiyin interjected and said: "Ye Niangzi, let's not compare our strength with Cai Lianye and Zhang Baozai." ”
Although Ye Niangzi is young, her speech is like a knife: "Our fifth master is also a well-known figure in Zhejiang, Fujian and the ocean, as long as there is a heart, twenty or thirty boats are gathered, now is not the era of Cai Lianye and Zhang Baozai, the Tartar court is busy dealing with the Guangxi Yankees under Hong Xiuquan, and has no heart to take care of this maritime matter." ”
"It's important to be happy right now!" Ge Haiyin said: "What do you care about so many idle things!" ”
Ye Niangzi spoke crisp and loud: "In today's troubled times, as long as you are willing to work hard, even if you can't achieve a heroic cause like Cai Lian, it's always no problem to be a Zhang Baozai." The reason why Cai Lian was defeated at the beginning was that he was completely floating on the sea, and he had no foundation on land, and as long as the supply was cut off on land, it would be difficult to continue. ”
She slowed down her speech, and became eloquent: "The Tartar court can't even deal with Hong Xiuquan's group of Guangxi Yankees, and now the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian were originally caused by the Red Cloth Army, and there is Qu Zhenhai, how can we have the heart to take a place on the coast!" As long as we have a foundation, then we are not a rogue without a foundation, and we can build a sea dynasty! ”
Ye Niangzi had just finished saying this, there was already a lot of applause, Ge Haiyin looked up and saw that most of them were Ye Niangzi's own family, Ye Niangzi usually likes to take power the most, and replaced the key positions on several boats with her own family, no matter what she said, Ye Niangzi's fart is fragrant.
"Five ladies, well said! If the fifth master can open up the country, we are all the founding heroes! ”
"The fifth lady and the fifth master are thoughtful and far-reaching than we think."
"Wu Niangzi, if you really want to open the country, you can make me a general!"
Ge Haiyin snorted: "We are now a small ship and a good turn, and it is difficult to turn around when the ship is big, I said, this is a big disaster, which has attracted the attention of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, how about he sent a large army to attack, how can we deal with it." ”
Wu Niangzi was confident: "What's so afraid of this, if Qu Zhenhan can succeed, the Tartar court will be too late to deal with him, if he can't succeed, such a major event as bombarding Wenzhou Mansion City, Wen Chudao is busy pressing it down, how can he come to deal with us!" ”
As he spoke, the cannons and small cannons of Wenzhou Fucheng finally fired together, and after a while, you could see the cannonballs crossing the parabola in the air, and then smashing on the river.
It's just that although the cannon rain is dense, not a single shell is close to the fleet, and even the closest shell to the fleet is a hundred feet away, and not even a splash of water has been shot.
More often, dozens of cannons of all sizes inside and outside Wenzhou Mansion were set off indiscriminately as if they were sending off Ye Niangzi's boat, but a series of firecrackers were set off.
It's just that the next moment, the cousin of the fifth lady's family suddenly shouted: "This is too, this ......"
The fifth lady didn't speak, she raised the Western clairmile mirror and looked over, but it was a round of shelling in the city of Wenzhou that was too far off the target, and a few shells not only did not hit the river, but hit a row of wooden houses along the river, collapsing two wooden houses, and causing a fire in the situation, causing the merchants and people in that area to run wildly, and the order was chaotic.
"Is that okay?" Ge Haiyin was stunned: "This is too exaggerated! ”
The artillery skills of the green battalion soldiers were so bad that he never dreamed of it, but the next moment a more exaggerated scene appeared, only to hear an earth-shattering loud noise in the city of Wenzhou, and black smoke came out of a mountain.
Ye Niangzi didn't understand what was going on, but there was an old pirate who was well-informed: "It's the cannon in the city that blew up!" There are too many sub-medicines in it, and the chamber is blown up! ”
Ye Niangzi took a closer look with a clairvoyant mirror, and sure enough, the cannon was blown up, and the entire fort was a mess.
Her voice was crisp and good: "Uncle Hai, the green battalion soldiers are such skills, if the cannon on our ship will not explode the double part of the sub-medicine, they will send soldiers to fight, as long as we can occupy a piece of territory first, then what is there to be afraid of!" ”
She said about two things that happened in Wenzhou last year: "In April last year, Ding Laosan bombarded Lingkun Island, and the green battalion soldiers did not dare to fight, and finally the villagers of Lingkun raised 1,000 taels to Ding Laosan, but the handlers made too much money, and it fell into the hands of Ding Laosan Less than half, and in Puzhou in August last year, Zheng Qiye went to land, and the residents rushed to Wenzhou Town Army, and the town army sent Du Si to lead 300 troops to suppress it, but the green battalion soldiers fled in battle, and the capital was executed, Zheng Qiye really knocked 1,200 yuan of foreign silver, so that the green battalion soldiers went to sea or let us clean up? ”
Ge Haiyin was finally moved by him: "If I build a country on the sea, then wouldn't I become an imperial uncle?" ”
Ye Niangzi has already had a rule: "If Meng Jin can achieve a career, you are all the founding heroes, relatives of the emperor, if the officers and soldiers are powerful, we can also take the opportunity to surrender, the officers and soldiers want to suppress the long hair, we must be used, at least it is also a situation of Zhang Baozai, and everyone will also be the heroes of the rebellion at that time."
"Sister-in-law really has a way!"
"Fifth lady, what you say is very true."
"Ye Niangzi, let's only build a country on the sea? Don't land anymore? ”
Ye Niangzi said confidently: "When the time comes, we can learn from Fang Guozhen, retreat into the sea when it is unfavorable, and try to plan Zhejiang and Fujian if there is an opportunity, Zheng Chenggong is an excellent example for us." ”
Ge Haiyin asked: "There are countless large and small islands along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian, including Lingkun, Huangyan, and Dongtou in the near area, and Dongshan, Taiwan, and ...... in the distance."
He is a big old man, and he can't give many examples for a while: "Ye Niangzi, which piece of land do you fancie?" ”
Ye Niangzi smiled slightly: "This is a major matter that the fifth master should take care of, and it is not something that a little woman like me can interfere with." ”
It's just that she already has her own ideas in her heart.
Wenzhou city. Outside the window, the sound of cannons rumbled, two white-topped officials were talking in front of the chessboard, and a group of red-topped officials sat on both sides of the chessboard, talking a lot, but they didn't talk about Go.
The older one suddenly fell a son: "Shufeng, what do you think of my son?" ”
"Yun Si is high." The person opposite is the current Wen Dao Tai Yu Shufeng, he is a native of Guangfeng, Jiangxi, and just took over the post of Zhejiang Branch Patrol Wen Department Coastal Defense Soldier Road this year: "Yun Si's hand is really clever, just looking at Yun Si's chess to know that the county is safe and worry-free, and the red bandits can only be destroyed in a few days." ”
The onlookers on the side were all deeply praised: "Yun Si's chess move is really clever, the thief boats outside the city are indiscriminately bombarded, and Yun Si is unmoved, so naturally he has a strategy to break the thief." ”
"Yun Si really has the demeanor of Wei Jin!"
"I panicked first when I heard the sound of the cannon, and then I saw that Yun Si was so calm, and my heart was settled."
The man he talked to was in his early sixties, and although he had some wealth, he was very elegant in his conversation, and he always had some Beijing flavor in his conversation, and if he wasn't familiar with him, they thought he was a hermit.
He is Qinglian, the current Zhejiang salt transport envoy, this salt transport envoy controls the salt monopoly of Zhejiang Province, is a fat shortage of fat, if measured by the standard of another time and space, it is almost the executive vice governor in charge of finance and a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
He is a native of Manchuria with the Blue Flag, obtained the cabinet book by the invigilator, read the inscription, escorted the imperial official history, promoted to supplement the National History Museum, and was promoted to the first class of the Beijing Chacha in the 23rd year of Daoguang, and put Zhejiang Wenchu Dao until the first year of Xianfeng, and did more than ten years of Wen Chudao before the acting Zhejiang according to the inspection envoy, and in recent years he was promoted to Zhejiang Salt Transport Envoy.
Qing Lian was disrespectful to everyone's praise: "This is too much, I, the salt transport envoy, are far worse than Lin Wenzhonggong." ”
Lin Wenzhong Gong is Lin Zexu, and he has also served as the Zhejiang Salt Transport Envoy, but when he mentioned Lin Zexu, Yu Shufeng said in a humorous way: "Yun Si can't be too humble, Lin Wenzhong Gong is a sage, but Yun Si is so wonderful, not much inferior!" This time, Hongkou advocated rebellion, and the heavenly fortune division came to Wen, you have been in charge of Wen for more than ten years, people and land are suitable, strategizing, and the thief is within the corner! ”
Qing Lian knocked on the jade chess piece in his hand: "How can it be so easy." However, Qu Zhenhai, I have also met a few times in Wen Chudao, a small shopkeeper, the sages are in power today, and there are all the virtuous ministers to assist, and it will not be able to achieve great things. ”
Yu Shufeng fell behind: "Yun Si, how is the thief strategy now?" ”
