The Lu Wang sailors in the port were also soldiers and ate food, and when they saw that their bosses had surrendered, they all put down their swords and guns and surrendered. Yan Qingshan's side began to organize these soldiers to go ashore.

These people look quite numerous, but most of them cannot enter the army, they are either too old or too young, and there are less than 10,000 people suitable for the new army and navy. In this way, Yan Qingshan is also very happy, now there are ships, Dongguan can go to sea every year two thousand-ton ships, seven or eight 500-ton gunboats, a shortage of sailors will be 5,000 people, this 10,000 troops can solve the urgent need.

As for other sailors who are not qualified enough, they cannot be wasted, the king of Chu himself still has a large number of merchant ships, and the remaining more than 10,000 people are all brought to merchant ships as sailors.

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he saw that the resistance in the port had stopped, and said to Zhang Huangyan: "Mr. Cangshui, the official has long heard about your great talent, and I hope you can come to help the official." It just so happens that the virtuous brother of the people is gone, so you will take over his five-grade senator! ”

Li Zhi This is a naked seduction, and now King Lu is still standing on the side, Zhang Huangyan looked at King Lu, gritted his teeth and said to Li Zhi: "Lord Li, it's okay to let me work for you, but you have to promise me one condition!" ”

"Mr. Cangshui, please speak!"

"We must ensure the safety of King Lu's whole family, otherwise I won't work for Zhu Hongsan even if I jump into the sea!"

Li Zhi is also a little shameless with Zhu Hongsan now, obviously wanting to kill King Lu in his heart, but he immediately exported the truth of the family and the country.

"Mr. Cangshui rest assured, Chu Jianguo is loyal, benevolent, and righteous, as long as King Lu goes to Guangdong, he will definitely be rich and noble for a lifetime. The king of Chu and the king of Lu are synchronized in the general direction of opposing the Qing and Xingming, and now that you have failed, why don't you join the team of the king of Chu? Continue to fight for the revival of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Qian Lide, who was on the side, looked at Li Zhi's mouth foaming at the mouth, and exclaimed in his heart, "It seems that the stinky old nine will fool people, Zhu Hongsan's guy is said to be loyal, benevolent, and righteous, is there any heavenly reason?" ”

But King Lu didn't know Zhu Hongsan, and when he heard Li Zhi, a big official, say this about Zhu Hongsan, he was very relieved. Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, was originally an idle clan, and the position of the king of Lu was not his turn. But no one expected that his father and brother would die in the war, and the hat of King Lu fell on his head. At that time, there was no way in Taizhou, Zhang Guowei and Zhang Huangyan found themselves to let themselves out of the mountain, and they also came out for the foundation of their ancestors, but they didn't expect it to be like this. Now, with the king of Chu, who is willing to top the tank, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, is very happy that he can live the life of a pig again.

Zhu Yihai was overjoyed when he heard that Li Zhi assured that he was safe, and hurriedly said to Zhang Huangyan and some of the generals of the water division: "Xuanzhu, you listened to what Master Li said, there is no problem on my side." This king found that he was not the material of the prison country, so in order to revive the Ming Dynasty, you must all join the army of the Chu prison state, this is the last military order of this king! ”

Seeing that King Lu said this, Zhang Huangyan and several generals had nothing to say, so they only knelt down and kowtowed, admitting to obey Li Zhi's leadership.

As a scholar, Li Zhi only has Zhang Huangyan in his eyes. Although Zhang Huangyan is just a lifting person, but Zhejiang's lifting people are full of gold, Zhejiang and Nanzhili have always been prosperous in literary style, known as the gold lifting people and silver Jinshi, plus Zhang Huangyan's family is a first-class family in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Zhang Huangyan's father was the judge of the Shanxi Salt Transportation Division, which is the role of fart oil crotch, coupled with the influence of the Zhang family in Zhejiang, it is very convenient to carry out the Zhejiang campaign in the future.

Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Huangyan and said, "Xuanzhu, with your talent to join, we will have to rely on your help along the coast of Zhejiang in the future." ”

Zhang Huangyan was very moved to see Li Zhi like this, you must know that the current Zhang Huangyan is only twenty-six years old, his identity is just a person, and his official position is a tasteless supervisor, and he is not the later military secretary of the Yongli Dynasty, a famous general of the Southern Ming Dynasty who commanded more than 200,000 sailors. Now seeing that Li Zhi, the second-grade governor, admires him so much, he can't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

"Lord Zhengtai, I am just a person now, and the Governor is so sorry for me!"

"Hehe, Xuanzhu, in fact, this official treats you like this because Chu Jianguo often mentions you and Chen Renzhong in front of me, saying that you are both great talents, and you must keep them if you have the opportunity."

Chen Zilong is among the people, and Zhang Huangyan still knows the fame of the third son in the clouds, but Zhang Huangyan doesn't dare to say that he can be on a par with Chen Zilong. What's more, he is just a lifter, and he still has some fame in Ningbo, but he didn't expect that the King of Chu, who was thousands of miles away, also knew about it.

"Dare to ask my lord, why does Chu Jianguo know that he is here? I remember that I have never seen Chu Jianguo! ”

"I don't know about it. When I came to Zhejiang, the king of Chu asked me to pay attention to Chen Renzhong and Xuan and the two of you, saying that you are the great talents of the world, and the official didn't believe it at first, but after seeing Chen Renzhong, he was convinced, Chen Renzhong is just like Chu Jianguo said, civil and military are all knowledgeable, and it has helped me a lot! ”

"Dare to ask where is the eldest brother now? Can you please come out and see me? ”

Li Zhi sighed and said, "After the king of Chu knew that the people were with me, he transferred him back to Guangdong, and I heard that he went to Zhaoqing to be the prefect and manage the resettlement of millions of displaced people. ”

Hearing that Chen Zilong went to become the prefect of Zhaoqing and managed millions of people, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but yearn in his heart, as an orthodox scholar, Zhang Huangyan also had the ambition to govern the country and level the world, and he also wanted to be able to worship the marquis one day.

Li Zhi has been in the sea for more than ten years, and he knows what he thinks when he looks at Zhang Huangyan's demeanor, Li Zhi smiled and didn't say anything, but he knew that this Zhang Huangyan was a trick. Li Zhi does have his own hardships, Zhu Hongsan is not from a proper background, and he does not have much prestige among intellectuals, so far there are only three or two literati who can work under Li Zhi, and they are all Xiucai, not to mention Jinshi, there is no one who lifts people.

Now that it's okay, Zhang Huangyan, a big family in Ningbo, is fooled, and the intellectuals in Zhejiang should not be able to resist themselves as much as before.

In fact, in Li Zhi's heart, he didn't think that Zhu Hongsan was orthodox in the Ming Dynasty, after all, Zhu Hongsan's bloodline was too far apart. But who called Li Zhi is now on Zhu Hongsan's thief ship, Zhu Hongsan may not be as good as several other prisoners in status, but he is too good to his subordinates, and he does not hesitate to give money to the official, Li Zhi now has thousands of acres of land in Shunde, and now he is still the governor of Zheng Erpin, although he has never had a good face for Zhu Hongsan on the surface, but Li Zhi is still very satisfied with this lord in his heart.

Now that King Lu's forces have surrendered, Li Zhi began to prepare for a celebration banquet, and at the same time prepared to send a boat to escort Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, and his family to Guangdong three days later.

In the evening, after Li Zhi finished eating, he asked people to find Wang Zhiren, the chief soldier of Dinghai.

Wang Zhiren, the chief soldier of Dinghai, is an unlucky child, Wang Zhiren is a relative of the great eunuch Wang Zhixin, and he became the chief soldier of Su Song when his eldest brother was in power, which is a good job of farting oil crotch. But the good times didn't last long, Li Zicheng entered Beijing, his eldest brother didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was also transferred to Zhoushan Dinghai as a chief soldier.

Zhoushan in the Ming Dynasty is not the appearance of later generations, nor there is no marine economy strong city, China's top 100 foreign trade cities, China's top ten leisure cities and so on, the Ming Dynasty Dinghai is just a guard house with more than 5,000 people. There is no money to buy and sell in the local area, only to find a way to do it on the sailor warship.

At that time, Wang Zhiren thought that he was unlucky enough, but he didn't expect that something even more unlucky was behind. In August of the first year of Hongguang, a group of big ships came to Guangdong, that was a really big ship, the side of the ship was as high as the Dinghai city wall, and there were hundreds of guns on each ship.

The red-robed official who got off the ship didn't ask Wang Zhiren's attitude at all, and directly told him that Dinghai had been taken over, and Wang Zhiren had become a subordinate of the king of Chu in Guangdong.

Although Wang Zhiren was unlucky before, he was also a head in Dinghaiwei, with five or six thousand people under his command, and the small life of Emperor Shangao was very comfortable, but after the Cantonese came, the good days were gone. These Cantonese Yankees have eyes on the top of their heads, and they have never had a good eye on themselves. The same is true of the governor, the first thing he did when he came to the island was to let Wang Zhiren be the contractor foreman, and began to build a house with the military household of the whole guard. Wang Zhiren asked why he wanted to build so many houses, and swore to God, just one sentence, and the fat man of the water master like a tank slapped him three times.

At first, Wang Zhiren wanted to resist, after all, the general soldier was also a second-grade officer, and he was only half a level lower than the commander of the earth tank, but after the arrival of those two castle-like ships, Wang Zhiren had no temper at all. In addition, after hearing that the earth tank led five warships to sink the five hundred warships of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Wang Zhiren completely died of his determination to resist and was completely reduced to a contractor.

While shocking the strong combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Guangdong, Wang Zhiren also saw the wealth of these Cantonese Yankees. One of them has 20 taels of silver per month for a hundred households with 100 people, and Zhao Guodong, who is at the same level as himself, has more than 300 taels of silver per month, and ordinary soldiers have 5 taels of silver every month.

The richness of the Cantonese Yankees, and the treatment that is even more blushing, three dry meals a day, and meat at every meal, is this a soldier or an uncle?

There are also boatloads of rice pulled from Guangdong, boatloads of snow-white salt, and sugar that even Wang Zhiren can only eat during the Chinese New Year, which are used by these Cantonese Yankees for free.

However, thanks to them, Wang Zhiren's own 5,000 people have to build houses, and they can eat two dry meals a day, although it is mixed with rice and a kind of sweet potato they call it, but isn't it unlimited, these bitter military households are still quite satisfied.
