Volume 5 Chapter 27 Laying out the chess pieces

Zhang Bin finally took Zheng Chenggong's mother and son away, including Tagawa Nanazaemon, who was only more than three years old, and the mother and son were all taken away.

Weng Yihuang is indeed very reluctant, most of the old people are afraid of loneliness, most of the old people hope to have a full house of children and grandchildren, otherwise, the old couple will stay together, the twilight is gloomy, and life will definitely be difficult.

With two grandsons here, even if you watch them running around in the yard, turning over the altar and emptying the jars, you will feel full of energy.

Not to mention the amusing innocent words and the cute appearance of a toddler, these are rare spiritual comforts for the elderly.

However, he had to let Zhang Bin take them away, because of Zheng Zhilong's identity, in Dongying, Zheng Zhilong was a rebel who gathered a crowd, but in Daming, he was a high-powered chief military officer of the Navy, where can the two children live better, don't think about this question.

On one side is the son of a fugitive, and on the other side is the son of a chief military officer, how can he bear to prevent his two grandsons from going to Daming to live a happy life.

Besides, the Governor also made a promise, five years at the earliest, ten years at the slower, Dongying, will definitely become a part of the Ming Dynasty, at least a vassal state, and it is even possible to directly become a province of the Ming Dynasty!

At that time, it is not impossible for Zheng Zhilong, Tian Chuan, including the two children to come and go from time to time, and even live permanently, and with this hope, he has no reason to stop it.

Parting is always sad, Weng Yihuang can still restrain himself, but secretly wiped a few tears, but Tian Chuan's mother and daughter are crying to death.

Zhang Bin patiently let their mother and daughter hug each other and cry for two quarters of an hour, and then motioned to Zheng Zhibao to persuade them to separate.

The group was delayed here for nearly half an hour, and finally set off, but Zhang Bin was embarrassed to find that it was just a horse, and he couldn't let the mother and son walk on it, and he rode on the horse to swim well.

In the end, he simply let Zheng Chenggong's mother and son sit on it, and let Zheng Zhibao lead the horse slowly, while he himself walked in front with his hands.

Here, the Tagawa clan reluctantly waved goodbye to his parents who had sent them a few streets away, and the city gate in front of him was almost there.

At this time, the men and horses of the Matsuura clan were still confronting the elite of the Qi family's army, and when the Tagawa clan saw this scene, their faces turned white with fright.

She was afraid that the people of the Matsuura clan would come up to stop her, and in that case, she would not be able to take the child to see her husband.

Someone from the Matsuura clan really wanted to come forward to stop him, and the iron cannon general, who was a little bit long, pointed at the Tagawa clan and said to the old man: "Look, look, that's not the wife and children of the anti-thief Zheng Yiguan, but the general has issued an injunction to strictly prohibit them from leaving Dongying." ”

The old man threw it directly with a big ear, and then roared at him: "Baga, do you want to keep the wife and children of the thief Zheng Yiguan or keep Hirado Castle, tell you, this lord is angry, we may not even be able to hold the entire feudal kingdom, shut your dog's mouth, you know, you pig!" ”

The iron cannon general was frightened, and quickly nodded and said, "Haiyi." ”

Zhang Bin walked in front of the team with his hands in his hands, and he didn't care about the people of the Songpu clan at all, because he was planning in his mind, how to win Dongying!

It takes at least 100,000 troops to take Dongying, and at this time, he has a total of more than 100,000 miscellaneous troops in his hands, and he can't do his best to clean up Dongying, because he still has to face the strong enemy of the Dutch East India Company, and he also has to clean up Houjin, and he also has to consider the problem of the peasant rebel army, at least for five years, he will not be able to free up his hands at all, if he is constrained by the remnants of the eunuch party, he may not be able to solve the problem of Houjin and the peasant rebel army for ten years.

There is no way to do this, after all, at this stage, the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty is not Dongying.

However, Dongying can't be left aside, early investigation is still necessary, and even control of their economy can be considered.

He thought about it as he walked slowly under the guidance of his guards, and before he knew it, he walked out of Hirado Castle and came to the dock, when an exclamation suddenly came from behind him: "Wow, what a big ship!" ”

This is Zheng Chenggong's voice, and what he said is, of course, the Zhenyuan cruiser and the Weiyuan battleship that are parked not far away.

He was tired of crying just now, and Tagawa Nanazaemon, who was pretending to sleep in Tagawa's arms, was also woken up, and he rubbed his teary little eyes and exclaimed, "Which is greasy, which is greasy? ”

In the exclamation of the two brothers, Zhang Bin and a group of guards took them to board the wheel and sailed quickly to the Zhenyuan cruiser, and after a while of busy work, they finally dropped the mother and son and the horse on the deck.

Zhang Bin first asked Zheng Zhibao to arrange the accommodation of their mother and son, and then took out his binoculars to observe the boarding situation of the guards, until all the guards had almost boarded the cruiser and their respective wheels, and then he said loudly: "Order, the whole army retreats." ”

A flag waved, and the heralds on the dock immediately ran towards the city quickly, and after a while, Sarufei Sasuke also withdrew from the city with more than a hundred of his men carrying boxes, and quickly boarded their respective wheels.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Qi family army also withdrew from the city in a neat line, and boarded their respective wheels one after another.

In the end, more than 100 elites of the special operations battalion jumped directly from the wall more than three meters high and quickly boarded their respective wheels.

Zhang Bin watched the last wheel leave the dock, immediately put down the binoculars, and said loudly: "Let's go." ”

The huge fleet slowly accelerated and sailed towards the outside of the port, at this time the defenders of the city cautiously walked out of the city gate, and the old man looked at the fleet that gradually left the port, and couldn't help but feel palpitations: "Who is this adult, even the navy is so powerful!" Could it be the Tokugawa family, shouldn't it, if the Tokugawa family directly orders it, who will stop him? ”

Zhang Bin just didn't want to reveal his identity as the governor of Fuguang, as for what the people of the Songpu family would think, he didn't care at all, after the fleet set off, he immediately boarded the three-story deck and sat down on the Taishi chair, and then ordered: "Go, call the big shopkeeper Zheng Zhiyu to come over." ”

Zheng Zhiyu didn't get off the boat with him, because he still had to do business here, if the people of the Matsuura clan saw him, then this business would not be able to be done, and at this time, the people of Dongying didn't even know that Dongshengtang was related to Zheng Zhilong, otherwise Dongshengtang's business would also be difficult to do.

Zheng Zhiyu soon responded, and after the two sides met, Zhang Bin asked directly: "What are you going to do with Dongying's business?" ”

Zheng Zhiyu didn't know that he was going to be developed, or that the business in Dongying, which he was in charge of, was going to be developed, because Zhang Bin was going to expand Dongshengtang's business in Dongying, so as to facilitate access to intelligence and even further control Dongying's economy.

He also thought that Zhang Bin was going to take the school exam, which is not easy to say, after all, Dongying is not a small place, and the feudal divisions are not as unified as the Ming Dynasty, and there are many neighboring feudal states that are not connected, which also brings great difficulties to business.

He thought about it, and could only bite the bullet and say: "The villain thinks that the best way is to crack down on smugglers, now that the Dutch have been driven away, and then control the smugglers in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, Dongshengtang will be able to control the price of goods, so that profits will skyrocket." ”

This Zheng Zhilong had already told him, and they had also discussed on the way to the road, in order to cut off the trade between the Dutch and Dongying, but he offended the Dutch East India Company ruthlessly, and everyone had to fight with him, but in the end, he cheapened those smugglers.

Zhang Bin said lightly: "Well, tell me, it's the vendors in those places who are competing with Dongshengtang, don't they know that the Dutch were driven away to raise the price and lower the price?" ”

Zheng Zhiyu said distressedly: "Yes, in order to compete with Dongshengtang, they worked hard to lower the price, and now the profits are not as good as the Dutch, as for where these traders came from, there were also those Jiangsu and Zhejiang traders in the south to participate, after the opening of the mutual market between Yuegang and Zhuhai, the merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang basically did not come here, mainly the traders from Shandong and Shanxi, Shandong is a little better, because the sea ban in Shandong is strictly controlled by the imperial court, and the merchants in Shanxi are from Liaodong, so they don't have to care about the sea ban of the imperial court at all, so it is particularly rampant." ”

Traders over there in Shanxi!

I've heard that they have colluded with Jiannu for a long time, but I didn't expect their hands to reach out to Dongying, okay, see if I don't cut off your hands.

Zhang Bin nodded and said coldly: "Well, I will inform General Mao Wenlong and ask him to send a ship to patrol and cut off the sea route." ”

When Zheng Zhiyu heard this, he said excitedly: "Thank you, as long as you can clean up these smuggling traders, the profits of Dongying's side can at least double." ”

Zhang Bin was not very happy, he said solemnly: "You can't just think about relying on external help, you also have to think of a way to know, like the Dutch have thought about raising deer in Dongfan and transporting them to Dongying to sell, by the way, do these Dongying people like to eat venison very much, why do the Dutch want to raise deer in Dongfan?" ”

This Zheng Zhiyu is clear, he immediately explained: "It's not that Dongying people love to eat venison, mainly because they have a ban, cattle, horses, dogs, and chickens are not allowed to eat, they can only eat pork and venison, and they rarely raise pigs here, so venison has become the main meat." ”

Zhang Bin couldn't help but be curious: "Why can't cattle, horses, dogs, and chickens be eaten, but pork and venison can be eaten?" ”

Zheng Zhiyu then explained: "One is to protect farming, and the other is to comply with the precepts of Buddhism, cattle can plough the land, horses can pull goods and carry people, dogs can watch the house, and chickens can report the time in the morning, so they are not allowed to eat, as for pigs and deer, pigs like to eat crops at night, and deer like to eat young shoots, they are harmful to farming, so they are not prohibited." ”

It turned out that this was the case, Zhang Bin nodded and said: "Well, it seems that it is a good idea to promote deer and pig breeding in Dongfan, so that your income can also increase a lot." ”

Zheng Zhiyu hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head, and then instructed: "You can't just wait for people to come to do business, you can also train Dongying locals to distribute goods to you in various places, so that your income can increase a lot." ”

When Zheng Zhiyu heard this, he was embarrassed: "This, my lord, it is difficult to find the locals in Dongying who can be trusted, besides, even if you find it, there is no boat, and the civilians of Dongying generally do not have boats, there is sea everywhere here, and without boats, business cannot be done at all." ”

People are good to say, the ship is indeed a problem, in Dongying, if there is no ship, business is indeed impossible, Zhang Bin thought about it, and then clapped the decision: "In this way, all the Dongying people brought by Sarufei Sasuke will be left for you, and ten groups of elites of the special operations battalion will be left for you, even if the problem of people is solved, as for the ship, now the shipyard is rushing to produce the Zhenyuan cruiser and the Weiyuan battleship, and those Fu ships, Haicang ships, Cangshan ships and so on will definitely be eliminated in the end, and I will allocate some to you when the time comes." ”

Now he has a total of more than 60,000 sailors and soldiers, a Zhenyuan cruiser is full of more than 500 people, and a Weiyuan battleship is full of more than 300 people, that is to say, as long as there are 50 cruisers and 50 battleships, all other warships can be eliminated.

Of course, the entire fleet cannot be full of cruisers and battleships, small ships are also a must, wheels cannot be completely eliminated, and cruisers may not all be loaded with sailors.

On the whole, within two or three years, the sailors will eliminate at least five or six hundred warships, which can be converted to commercial use.

When Zheng Zhiyu heard this, he said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you, by the way, what is the discount of those eliminated warships?" ”

What is the price of the warship, the imperial court did not pay a penny to build cruisers and battleships, and the eliminated warships naturally did not cost money.

Zhang Bin said coolly: "What kind of money is this, of course you don't need money if you eliminate it, but the people who give it to you are not only to help you do business, they are also responsible for spying on intelligence, I will leave a person in charge, you have to listen to him about spying on intelligence." ”

Zheng Zhiyu nodded again and again: "The villain understands, the villain understands." ”

Zhang Bin immediately waved his hand and said, "You go down and wait first, and then I will arrange for someone to go to Nagasaki with you." ”

Zheng Zhiyu hurriedly surrendered his hand, and Zhang Bin immediately ordered: "Go and call all eight of them, as well as Sarufei Sasuke." ”

After a while, the eight captains of his guards and Sarutobi Sasuke stood neatly in front of him.

Zhang Bin glanced at them slowly, and then said solemnly: "Dongying, we will come to get it sooner or later, so the intelligence must be spied well, I am ready to leave ten groups of elites of the special operations battalion and all the experts of Dongying here to spy on intelligence under the cover of doing business, which of you is interested in staying in charge of this matter?" ”

Of course, he can also appoint a random person to stay in charge, but it is not a matter of one or two days, not a month or two months, it is possible to stay for ten or eight years, so he still wants to ask the opinions of these cronies, if the person he makes is unwilling to stay, it will not be good.

The eight captains of his personal guards, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that it is difficult to make a decision for a while.

He thought for a moment, and then added: "You should also know that this stay is at least five years, ten years or eight years, but you can take turns to arrange for people to come back and rest for a month every year in the name of purchases, including yourself." ”

As soon as he said this, a few captains of the guards finally showed expressions of interest, and finally, Chen Hao stood up and said, "My lord, my subordinates are willing to stay." ”

He mainly wants to make meritorious contributions, because he is ranked last among the eight captains of the guards, and Zhang Bin arranges things generally from Zhang Cha and ranks all the way down, and rarely ranks here, so he wants to stay in Dongying to make a meritorious service.

Zhang Bin nodded and said: "Well, very good, you have to lead your special combat team members to learn Dongying dialect well, and pay attention to hiding your identity, anyway, there is a lot of time, you don't have to be too anxious, you can understand the entire situation in Dongying within five years, you can learn to do business first, and then start spying when I arrange the first batch of merchant ships to come." ”

Chen Hao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Zhang Bin thought for a while, and then reminded: "You put the main target of espionage on the number of cities and armies of each domain, especially the direct territory of the Tokugawa family, as for other information, you can look at it, and record it." ”

Chen Hao arched his hand again and said, "My subordinates remember." ”

Zhang Bin nodded, and then said to Sarufei Sasuke: "You have been exposed, and it is not suitable for staying in Dongying for a long time, those people under you can arrange it, and in the future, you can also take turns to rest for a month every year, give you two wheels, and you will be responsible for transporting them back to rest, and at the same time sort out the information and report to me once a month." ”

Sarufei Sasuke hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My subordinates obey orders." ”

Zhang Bin said to Chen Hao again: "You will connect in Nagasaki in the future, and you can discuss the location yourself." ”

Chen Hao arched his hand again and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Zhang Bin nodded, and then ordered: "Order, the fleet stops advancing." ”

There was a wave of the flag, and the entire fleet slowly stopped.

Hirado was actually not very far from Nagasaki, and the fleet should have been very close to Nagasaki after traveling for so long, and it was time to send a ship to Nagasaki.

Zhang Bin thought for a while, and then said to Chen Hao and Sarufei Sasuke: "You go and gather all your men on the deck." ”

The two hurriedly retreated and ran down quickly.

Most of the two of their men were not on the Zhenyuan cruiser, Chen Hao was a little better, he also brought two teams of people on the cruiser, and Sarufei Sasuke didn't bring any of them.

It took them a long time to gather all their men from the wheels to the deck of the ship.

Seeing that the people below were almost assembled, Zhang Bin immediately got up and walked down, came to the front of the phalanx formed by more than 200 people, and said loudly: "You are going to Nagasaki to carry out the mission later, here, I want to emphasize a few points." ”

When I heard the words, I immediately raised my head and listened carefully.

Zhang Bin then said loudly: "First of all, you must learn the Dongying dialect well, and try not to leave Nagasaki and Heido until you learn it well." Then, you have to be careful about disguise, and it's better to learn how to do business, so that people don't see at a glance that you are not in business at all. Also, this mission has taken a long time, and you can start a family in Dongying, but you must be careful not to reveal your identity, remember? ”

The people below arched their hands and said in unison: "Remember." ”

Zhang Bin immediately waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone will work hard in the next few years, and when we win Dongying, I will celebrate everyone's success, and everyone will set off." ”

With his order, everyone immediately dispersed, quickly sliding to their respective wheels with ropes, and in a short time, more than a dozen wheels left the fleet and headed for Nagasaki in the southeast.

Zhang Bin looked at the wheels that were gradually moving away, and silently sighed in his heart: "The chess pieces are laid down, I don't know when it will come to the end." ”
