Volume 3 Chapter 74 The Red Hair Fan was destroyed
In March, the warmth is warm, and the warm spring breeze blows on the face, which makes people feel refreshed.
Zhang Cha stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the gradually thickening coastline, and said to Zheng Cai on the side with a smile: "Ah Cai, do you remember what you said when you were a child?" ”
Zheng Cai touched the back of his head and said blankly: "Brother Poor, you brainless, how do I know which sentence you are talking about, when we were children, we didn't know how many words to say in a day." ”
Zhang Cha learned Zheng Cai's tone and said loudly: "One day I become a general, I must find a wife as beautiful as Xiaoyun for Brother Cha." ”
When Zheng Cai heard this, he planted his head in the sea by mistake, Xiaoyun is so beautiful, where can I find it!
He thought about it, and simply played the scoundrel and said: "Xiaoyun is so beautiful where it is so easy to find, otherwise, I will find you ten Dongying Dancing Girls, and you can go later, whatever you choose." ”
When Zhang Cha heard this, he patted the back of his head and said angrily: "Say this again, you will have Dongying Wuji left in your mind." ”
Although Zheng Cai was already a guerrilla general, he was very kind to Zhang Cha, the leader of the scout squad without any military position, and he was not annoyed when Zhang Cha patted him on the head, but he smirked.
The young people of Dajin Institute have played together since childhood, and the relationship is intimate, and Zhang Cha is the idol of these little friends, because in addition to the eldest Daniel Zhang and the second eldest Zhang Guan, he can fight the most, so even if Zhang Cha is just a child of the ordinary Tunwei family, the friends are used to calling him "Brother Cha", and they worship him very much, and Zheng Cai runs behind his ass every day.
This time, Zhang Cha led a team to spy on the enemy, and Zhang Bin knew that Zheng Cai had the best relationship with him, so he asked Zheng Cai to escort him every time.
It was almost Bengang in front of him, and Zheng Cai couldn't help but suggest: "Brother Poor, why don't you wait and try Dongying Dancing Girl, it's really good." ”
Zhang Cha rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I'm too lazy to tell you, wait to find someone who is most familiar with Hongmaofan's territory to guide the way." ”
Zheng Cai laughed and said, "Okay, I'll find you a man." ”
While the two were talking and laughing, the lucky boat slowly approached the Bengang wharf, and the more than ten small leaders who stayed on the wharf were still standing there respectfully waiting, but this time there were two more general flags in the crowd, these two were Zheng Zhilong's cronies who were sent to guard Yinliang.
As soon as Zheng Cai stepped on the dock, a group of people greeted him and said respectfully: "See General Zheng." ”
Zheng Cai waved his hand, motioned for them to be exempt, and then asked, "Which of you is most familiar with Hongmaofan's territory?" ”
Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, and after a while, a short and capable young man stepped forward, bowed, and said, "General, the villain has been to the big man several times. ”
Seeing that he was from Dongying, Zheng Cai frowned and asked seriously, "How are you learning Chinese?" ”
The young man bowed again and said, "Don't worry, general, the villain now speaks to people in Chinese." ”
Zheng Cai nodded, and then said to Zhang Cha on the side: "Brother Cha, do you see it?" ”
Zhang Cha looked the young man up and down, then looked at the sword on his waist, and said, "How are you doing kung fu?" ”
When the young man heard this, he quickly looked around, and then, with a whoosh, flew to a thigh-thick wooden stake, brushed a knife, and directly cut off a large part of the wooden stake, and then retracted the knife and rushed back, bowed to Zhang Cha and said, "My lord, what do you think?" ”
This guy is so fast, he is a good hand at cutting people, Zhang Cha nodded with satisfaction: "Well, what's your name?" ”
The young man bowed again and said, "The little ape Flying Sasuke." ”
Zhang Cha nodded again and said, "Okay, you go with me to the big guy." ”
With that, he waved his hand at Zheng Cai, turned around and walked towards his broken fishing boat, while Sarutobi Sasuke bowed to Zheng Cai and quickly followed.
The Dutch did not know that they had provoked Zhang Bin, the governor of Fujian, and in their opinion, the whole Ming Empire was no match for the East India Company, and a small local official would not dare to act rashly after being warned by the East India Company.
But he never thought that Zhang Bin had already sent the scout to the big staff!
In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, after the Dutch were defeated by Nanjuyi, they moved to the east of the Dayuan, that is, near the Anping Port in Tainan.
After the Dutch occupied the city, they rebuilt a large-scale castle on the site of the original city and named it the city of Orange, and in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Dutch renamed the castle the city of Geranza.
Historically, Zheng Chenggong attacked the city of Geranza, and more than 20,000 people besieged it for nearly a year before forcing the Dutch in the castle to surrender, which shows the danger of this city of Geranza.
Fortunately, however, the Dutch had not yet fully built the city of Geranza, and the planned three-story bastion had not yet completed the first floor.
Under the guidance of Sarufei Sasuke, Zhang Cha first hid the fishing boat in a river channel more than ten miles away from the inner sea of the Taijiang River, and then led five scouts and Sarufei Sasuke to trek through mountains and rivers for nearly half a day before they went around to the coast north of the city of Geranza.
By this time they had climbed a mountain more than a hundred feet high, and were carefully surveying the Dutch through the trees.
Zhang Cha held the binoculars and looked at it for a while, then lowered his head, picked up the brush on the boulder in front of him, and drew seriously.
Of the other five team members, two were cooking rice over a charcoal fire in a cave not far away, and the other three were scattered around Zhang Cha more than ten kilometers away to stand guard, and Sarutobi Sasuke was standing straight behind Zhang Cha like a tree stump.
Zhang Cha drew for a while and then raised his head, and was about to raise the telescope to continue observing, when Sarutobi Sasuke suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed him on the top of his head.
With a "whoosh", Zhang Cha only felt a breeze blowing overhead, and then a writhing snake body fell onto his shoulder.
Zhang Cha grabbed the snake body, and kicked the snake head that fell to his feet into the bushes next to him, and then turned around and praised: "Boy, is the knife very fast?" ”
Hearing this, Sarufei Sasuke bowed and said coolly, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Zhang Cha couldn't help but chuckle, threw the snake body in his hand into his hand, smashed his mouth and said: "Quickly send the stone to them, let them cook the rice, snake meat rice, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”
Sarutobi took the snake's body, nodded and obeyed, and then swept backwards quickly.
Zhang Cha wiped the snake blood on his hand on his clothes, and then raised the binoculars to take a closer look.
He looked at it carefully for a while, then picked up the brush and drew it on the map carefully.
At this time, in the capital, the palace, and the imperial study, Chongzhen was also painting seriously with a brush, but he was not drawing a map, but a high mountain.
Just as he was about to finish painting, the shrill voice of the eunuch Fang Zhenghua suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, Fujian Governor Zhang Bin has arrived." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he immediately put down the brush and said excitedly: "Hurry, come up quickly." ”
He is upset because of lack of money, this year's taxes are still being collected, the treasury is still empty, and now Zhang Bin can bring him input.
Zhang Bin, the governor of Fujian, sent him 1 million taels of silver last year, and he evened it out and ordered Yang He to take 400,000 taels of silver to the northwest to appease the displaced people, and Yuan Chonghuan to bring 600,000 taels of silver to Liaodong to quell the mutiny caused by unpaid wages.
However, there are too many people in the northwest, 400,000 taels can only ease the situation slightly, Liaodong owes more wages, 600,000 taels is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, and the chaos of peace and luxury in the southwest, since the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the governor of the five provinces was angry and died of illness in the army, Wei Zhongxian has not been in charge, and the request of the imperial court to send troops has not stopped.
If you add the pirates in the southeast, Daming can be described as gunsmoke everywhere and turbulent, Chongzhen is naturally anxious, but he has no money, he can only stare dryly.
Because of the silver, Chongzhen really attaches great importance to Zhang Bin, and last month he sent a note saying that the Yuegang lease land has harvested more than 500,000 taels of silver, and he is sending it to the capital.
Cao Huachun also knew Chongzhen's anxious mood, as soon as Fang Zhenghua walked in with a fold, he flew forward, took the fold, and quickly handed it to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen excitedly took the fold from Cao Huachun's hand and looked at it carefully.
At the beginning, he still had a smile on his face, because Zhang Bin played, the pirates had already exterminated nearly half of them, and he also found more than 800,000 taels of silver and hundreds of boxes of gold jewelry from the pirates' lair.
However, when he looked at it, his face became gloomy.
Because Zhang Bin played next, the red-haired Holland actually sent an envoy to warn him, asking him to stop encircling and suppressing pirates immediately, otherwise he would raise troops to retaliate!
And Zhang Bin also explained in detail why the red-haired fan didn't let them exterminate the pirates, because the pirates were raised by the red-haired fan!
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Bin described the situation in Dongfan in detail, it turned out that there were thousands of miles of fertile fields, if you gather displaced people to cultivate, you can feed millions of people, and you can also harvest hundreds of thousands of taels of land, but the most fertile places in Dongfan land are occupied by the Netherlands and Spain.
Finally, he analyzed the situation in Yuegang in detail, which roughly means that if the red hair continues to entrench in the east. Raising pirates to compete with Daming for business, Yuegang can't develop at all!
Chongzhen saw the twist and turn, slapped the table angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "Hongmaofan, you deceive people too much, occupy the land of the Ming Dynasty, and raise pirates to rob the people of the Ming Dynasty!" Cao Huachun, the intended order, ordered Zhang Bin, the governor of Fujian, to quickly wipe out all the red-haired fans entrenched in the east! ”
Zhang Bin naturally knew that Chongzhen would not be able to hold back the fire, because the meaning of his whole story was that if the Dutch and Spaniards entrenched in Dongfan were not eliminated, the pirates would not be able to be exterminated, and the taxes of Yuegang would also be greatly affected.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Cha and Zhao Rugang explored the strongholds of the Dutch and Spaniards in Dongfan, Chongzhen's holy decree came: to order Zhang Bin, the governor of Fujian, to quickly wipe out all the red-haired fans entrenched in Dongfan!
