Chapter 570: Zhangzhou City, Yang Shi, Lin Mengchu

The time difference is a very interesting thing, when the news of the fall of Tielingwei first arrived in Tianjin, the Beijing Division's hundreds of miles of expedited fast horses had just left Beijing.

In this era, just relying on the dense post stations and horses can also achieve a fast transmission speed, Jingshi all the way south, even the chaos everywhere did not affect the transmission of the post guard, after arriving in Nanjing, the same fast horse was transmitted to the south.

The governor of Fujian received the document of the Beijing division in the yamen of Fuzhou, and the person who sent this document over was just a panting post man, and the governor naturally did not care about the opportunity, and the level of this document was also exquisite, the same post officer, some documents could only be sent to the governor's concierge, and today's document should be seen by the post man to see the governor open it and there are still some procedures to be handled.

The governor opened the envelope carelessly, looked up and was startled, and hurriedly put it on the desk respectfully, and then dressed in a robe, where he knelt solemnly and kowtowed, and then rubbed his hands, and took out the letter again, and the master on the side was startled, but he reacted quickly, and he could make the governor do this, that is, the letterhead of the Son of Heaven, and quickly knelt down.

Although there are no outsiders in this etiquette except for the post guard, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no newcomers to sue a domineering pass, I don't know the etiquette, in the past six months or so, big and small, local officials have been taken down a lot of people, and no one is willing to make up this mold.

After reading the paperwork, the Fujian governor's face became more and more serious, and he put down the letterhead lightly, turned his head and followed the long entourage on the side and said:

"Hurry up and invite the political envoy and the general soldier to come here, and the officials above the fourth grade in Fuzhou City will immediately invite them to the governor's yamen!"

Seeing the governor's serious expression and the will of the Son of Heaven, they knew that they could not be neglected, and the governor's official family was there loudly instructed, where did so-and-so go, where did so-and-so go, and the yamen of the Fujian governor, who was originally quiet and leisurely, suddenly made a fuss.

As soon as the door opened, these servants who went to invite people also came out on horseback, and after a while, the whole city of Fuzhou was in a commotion, and many people hurried towards the governor's yamen, and the time spent on the discussion was not much, about half an hour later, all the officials hurried back to their yamen.

Fujian's general army yamen issued a call order one by one, and the soldiers and horses stationed in various parts of Fujian began to gradually gather, Fujian is somewhat different from other places, although the area of the province is not small, but most of them are rugged southward mountainous areas, and it should be very troublesome to transfer troops and gather.

But in fact, this is not the case, because the mountainous area is rugged and difficult to travel, so there are not too many soldiers and horses stationed there, Fujian's guard barracks, mainly in the flat area along the coast, there are important prefectures and counties in Fujian, so eighty percent of Fujian's soldiers and horses are stationed on the eastern coast, mobilized, very convenient.

This kind of military transfer, as long as people with a little common sense will know who it is aimed at, and there is a piece of the heart disease of the entire Ming Dynasty in Fujian - Zhangzhou City.

Zhangzhou City has been forgotten in about half a year, as if the Spaniards who occupied it no longer exist, what is even more incredible is that the merchants from other places in Fuzhou have now begun to import and export goods in the Yuegang of Zhangzhou Bay, and the people of Fujian seem to have nothing happened in this place, and there are some rumors that the taxes in Zhangzhou City are very low, and there are many jobs, many people are much more comfortable there than before, and some people take the initiative to move in.

Now it seems that I can't bear it, and I'm going to do it.

In front of the various yamen in Fuzhou, according to the practice of the yamen in various places, there are always some taverns and restaurants and other places, which are used to give these yamen officials food and entertainment, and it is also a money-making business, of course, the news of these places is also very well-informed, on the night when the governor summoned the Fujian officials, the specific news has been transmitted out of Fuzhou City, and when the officers and soldiers did not block the road, the fast horse was transmitted to Zhangzhou.

At this time, Yang Shi actually regretted it incomparably, he was impatient to stay in Yizhou that day, the first military operation in Huazhou, he asked for orders to fight, he thought he could gallop the field, but he didn't expect that it was this civil administration that was impatient in Yizhou, and after coming to Zhangzhou City, he actually did a civil affairs official for almost a year, dealing with what taxes and other things every day, and he was really depressed.

If you returned to Huazhou at that time and now follow Jiang Feng to cut down Ming together, it would be such a pleasant thing, but it is too late to regret it, it is better to fight this time, and it is better to have no fish and shrimp.

When the soldiers of Fuzhou were rampant, they behaved as if they were a joke, and when they touched the route, they had no combat power at all, and they had quite a lot of experience in harming the people, and the so-called three evils of the Fujian Sea, "the Japanese robbers, the officers and soldiers, and the pirates" were still ranked before the pirates, and it can be seen what they had done.

After the fall of Zhangzhou, the governor of Fujian thought that he had no hope of keeping his black yarn, but he didn't expect that the imperial court was a few words of encouragement, and there was nothing else to deal with, he also knew that the imperial court was unwilling to change the local governor at this time, so as not to cause chaos, I am afraid that it will be until the imperial court frees up its hands, and will clean himself up, but this also gives him some time, as long as it is before the imperial court makes a move, the recapture of Zhangzhou, the merits and demerits are offset, and there is a great possibility that things will turn around. This situation is not only for the governor of Fujian, but also for the officials of Fujian, who have gathered many times and come up with the statutes.

The governor and the political envoy Si Yamen mobilized the resources that Fujian could mobilize, and fully cooperated with the Fujian general army to train an army that could be used as a support for the recapture of Zhangzhou.

Fujian's resources have been mobilized, and officials of all sizes know whether they can recapture Zhangzhou, but it is related to how long they can be officials, so they are still doing their best, and when the money, grain, and grass are handled, they will deduct a little.

There is money and food to attract people, and there are big places to make it convenient, the Fujian general army and a cadre of officers are all fighting twelve spirits, but they have also trained four or five thousand decent soldiers and horses, after the soldiers and horses are trained, they do not dare to act rashly without the order of the imperial court, but when the White Lotus Sect is in chaos everywhere, Fujian also has some Taoist sects that are ready to move, and the chaotic people who have gathered together are completely irresistible in front of this five or six thousand soldiers and horses, and they are all solved neatly.

There are also some scattered pirates and bandits who are not opponents, so that the confidence of the whole Fujian army is getting stronger and stronger, and they are all counting on showing their might at this time.

The government's secrecy work has always been like a sieve, the army is still on the way, and even the small merchants and vendors in Zhangzhou City know that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are about to fight, but those Spaniards are still on normal patrol duty, and everyone is not nervous.

The dense fortresses and small fortresses outside the city, which were built at great expense, are now garrisoned by Spaniards, which should ensure the fortification of the city.

There is quite a contradiction in the hearts of the people of Zhangzhou, one is that the barbarians of different races rule them here, how the Chinese people accept it, and the other point is that when these Spaniards ruled, it was much better than when the Ming government ruled, no one collected harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, no one oppressed the people, everyone had a lot of work to do, the market was prosperous, and such a good life was gone.

Besides, if it weren't for the high noses, deep eyes, blue eyes and blond hair of those people on the street, sometimes you really can't feel the difference between the alien race and the Han people.

Of course, all government affairs and regulations were issued in the inner city, where outsiders were strictly forbidden to enter, and there were a few Caucasian people in the Netherlands who handled government affairs, but the things they learned about government affairs were all in Huazhou Taishou Yamen, that is, the current Huazhou Shoufu Liu Shunhua's methods.

Although Yang Shi is anxious to deal with civil affairs every day, he also knows that this is a great opportunity, Jiang Feng's plan is not small, if Huazhou unifies the world, even if he lives overseas, the current situation, civil and civil affairs will one day become the mainstream, his current experience will be a useful capital in the future, Yang Shi is a flexible person in the military attaché, and he knows the severity, so although he is anxious, he still does his best.

However, for military attachés, it is always a pleasure to have a battle.

In the inner city of Zhangzhou, Yang Shishi's official residence was meeting guests, and there were a few serious guards at the door, but there were also a few fresh faces, all of them were dressed in short clothes, and they looked like sailors on the sea.

"The west of Zhangzhou City is a deep ditch to the fortress, heavily guarded, the Ming army cannot attack hard, and it will inevitably turn to the direction of Zhangzhou Bay, and when the time comes, the back road of my Zhangzhou City will all depend on Captain Lin!"

Yang Shishi said solemnly in his official uniform, and there was a young man sitting opposite him, who looked quite handsome and delicate, but seemed to be a well-mannered scholar, and when he heard Yang Shishi's solemnity, he also stood up immediately, bowed and replied:

"Please rest assured, with my Lin Mengchu and the sailor fleet, the eastward passage of Zhangzhou is unimpeded!"
