Chapter 243: Blind Date (1)

The battle on the battlefield has come to an end for the time being, but Fang Yuan knows that the next indispensable thing is to continue to talk about it.

The first mouth cannon was fought with the imperial court. The Xuanjia army fought with Ma Shiying, the governor of the three prefectures, for no reason, arrested hundreds of officials of the three prefectures, and even sent troops to threaten to attack Nanjing. Everyone in the world watched that as long as Fang Yuan did not hang up the anti-Ming anti-Ming flag for a day, he had to give a reasonable explanation to the imperial court in the capital no matter what.

Fang Yuan found Chen Hongmi, the prefect of Suzhou, and Shi Mao, the governor of the Wuyue Palace, and asked the two of them to draft a letter. It is written on the fold that it was Ma Shiying who first invaded Yangzhou Mansion with a heart of disobedience, and the Xuanjia Army could not help but fight back. As for the troops forcing Nanjing, Fang Yuan was worried that Ma Shiying had ill intentions and wanted to occupy Nanjing, and the Xuanjia Army was going to defend Nanjing City.

All in all, Fang Yuan put all the responsibility for starting the war on Ma Shiying, the governor of Sanfu, which was regarded as giving the Beijing court an explanation, as for whether the court believes it or not, then believe it or not.

After the fold was written, Fang Yuan ordered Jinyi Wei to send it to the capital quickly.

The second mouth cannon was fought with Zheng Zhibao. There is no winner or loser in the battlefield battle, and it is the turn of both sides to continue to return to the negotiating table.

In the previous negotiations, the differences between the two sides were too great to reach a consensus at all. After the war, the two sides talked again, and Fang Yuan and Zheng Zhibao each took a step back. No longer talk about trade taxes and the sharing of smuggling profits, anyway, the silk exports of the ten provinces under Fang's original jurisdiction can no longer pay the protection fee for transit to the Zheng family.

Because the silk sold by the officials and merchants under Fang's original jurisdiction was far more sold than other silks, the silk weaving industry of Zhejiang merchants was also beaten to the brink, accounting for eighty percent of silk sales. The Zheng family no longer cares about the silk trade, which is equivalent to spitting out the silk trade, whether it is trade taxes or smuggling profits, to Fang Yuan.

The silk trade volume accounted for 30% of the total foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty, which was the biggest concession that the Zheng family could make.

On this item, it can generate two or three million taels of income every year, and Fang Yuan also knows the truth that he will receive it when he sees it, and the first two conditions, Fang Yuan and the Zheng family have reached an agreement.

Zheng Zhibao also said the third condition of the Zheng family, Fang Yuan must immediately stop the construction of the naval base in the Zhoushan Islands, as well as the construction of the naval fleet.

Fang Yuan couldn't stop sneering when he heard this, and said, "Yuwen, the Zheng family is telling a joke? The so-called high walls and extensive grain accumulation, what does the naval base in Ningbo Mansion under the jurisdiction of this military gate have to do with the Zheng family? The Zheng family's hand is too long, should you also set up a supervision yamen for the Zheng family in Suzhou City? ”

Zheng Zhibao also knew that this condition was a loss, and said in embarrassment, "But, but, this naval base and fleet are clearly aimed at Zheng Jiaxiu." ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Not to mention whether this military gate is coming for the Zheng family, the Zheng family really has to worry, they can build another thousand warships, who can threaten the Zheng family?" ”

Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fang Junmen is ......"

Fang Yuan said in a mysterious whisper, "There is still a way for this military gate, as long as the Zheng family agrees, this military gate will no longer build warships." ”

Zheng Zhibao hurriedly asked, "Fang Junmen said quickly!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "The two sides signed a warship reduction treaty, stipulating that the number of warships on both sides cannot exceed one hundred, five hundred, or one thousand, and the number depends on the Zheng family's regulations. ”

Zheng Zhibao almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, this is clearly to ask the Zheng family to destroy the battleship, what is the condition?

He smiled bitterly and said, "Fang Junmen is difficult for strongmen. ”

Fang Yuan sat back leisurely, smiled and said, "In that case, there is only one last condition in this military gate. This military gate is building a naval base in the Zhoushan Islands of Ningbo Prefecture, and the Zheng family should not interfere; The Zheng family can be stationed in the sea gate guard of Taizhou Mansion, and the military gate will not interfere. If the Zheng family still does not allow this condition, then go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers. ”

Fang Yuan made the only step back, which was to allow the Zheng family to continue to operate Haimenwei in Zhejiang, which was also the bottom line. What else could Zheng Zhibao say, he responded in a loud voice, and sent the negotiated conditions back to Fujian as soon as possible for Zheng Zhilong to decide.

This naval battle was all due to Shi Lang's great achievements, and Fang Yuan immediately ordered Jinyiwei to summon Shi Lang back to Suzhou City and set up a celebration banquet for him.

When Shi Lang rushed to the Canglang Pavilion, he found that the Canglang Pavilion was deserted, only Fang Yuan was alone, and there were no generals and officials of the Xuanjia Army, where was there any celebration banquet?

He was stunned and asked, "Fang Junmen, is this, a celebration banquet?" ”

Fang Yuan laughed and took him to the small pond where he was fishing, and there was also Xu Ru, a little insect who had just been named the county lord and was dressed in brocade clothes.

He summoned Shi Lang to Canglang Pavilion, not to hold a celebration banquet at all, but to arrange a blind date for Shi Lang and the little worm.

Fang Yuan had already informed Princess Kunxing, as well as the little bug, that he wanted to marry her to the most courageous naval commander of the Xuanjia Army, who was also the future commander of the navy, and the lady of the main room that Ming Media was marrying.

The little worm's heart is actually in the handsome horse Fang Yuan, who was reluctant at first, but only wanted to stay and serve the princess. But after Kun Xing's repeated persuasion, coupled with Fang Yuan's acceptance of her, if she can look down on Shi Lang, she will give her marriage, and if she can't look down on it, she will give up, everything is according to her original intention.

The little insect only agreed to see Shi Lang, she was learning to fish by the pool, when she saw Fang Yuan arrive, her eyes swept over Fang Yuan shyly, and after a short pause on Shi Lang's body, she lowered her and saluted, "The little girl greets the colt." ”

Now that she is the county lord, she no longer needs to call herself a slave to the other party.

Fang Yuan saw that the little insect was a little more generous than before, and he was very satisfied, and helped her up, "Ru'er, what are you doing?" ”

As he spoke, he sneaked a glance at Shi Lang.

Shi Lang's gaze swirled on the little insect from time to time, looking into the distance as if he wanted to hide it, but he couldn't help but return to the little insect for a while.

The little bug whispered, "Pony, I'm learning to fish. ”

Hu Qi said knowingly, "Fang Junmen, the prefect of Suzhou asks to see you." ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Ru'er, you play first." ”

He said to Shi Lang again, "Commander Shi, you wait here, I'll come when I go." ”

Fang Yuan threw the two of them on the edge of the pool, and left with Hu Qi and the other Jinyi guards, leaving plenty of time for the two to talk.

Fang Yuan wanted to be a matchmaker for Shi Lang and the little bug, but it also had to be agreed by Shi Lang and the little bug himself. If you rashly propose marriage in advance, you will be rejected by Shi Lang and Xiao Worm, and the three of them will not be able to get off the stage. It's better to arrange a blind date for the two first, if the two have a concubine, everything will fall into place.

After Fang Yuan went, the little insect was still sitting on the edge of the pool without squinting, staring straight at the fishing line on the surface of the water without saying a word.

In her heart, she actually didn't look at Shi Lang's appearance, his face was big and dark, and he was born five big and three thick, for example, Fang Yuan's heroic appearance was far behind, and it was not the image of Ruyi Langjun in her mind at all. She would rather stay with the princess than marry such a rough man, she just wanted to wait until Fang Yuan came back and refused the marriage to him.

Shi Lang stood three feet away from the little insect, and peeked at the jade face of the beauty from time to time.

In his eyes, the little insect is a woman with outstanding appearance and noble temperament, in the poor countryside of Fujian, where has he ever come into contact with such a woman who is as delicate as a person in a painting, gentle as water, and has a voice like a warbler? On the contrary, he was a little ashamed of himself, and he didn't know the identity of the little worm, although he wanted to talk to her in his heart, he didn't dare to talk to her.

Half an hour later, Fang Yuan hadn't come back yet, and the little insect hadn't caught a single fish several times, but Fang's heart was fluctuating. She was born as a palace maid, although she married the princess and was named the county lord, but she knows how much water the title of this county lord is.

If he refuses Fang Yuan's marriage and annoys Fang Yuan, will he be punished afterwards? She was still a little scared.

Besides, she forcibly stayed with the princess, and in the future, at most, she would be a girl in the inner room, whether she could become a girl in the room and become Fang Yuan's woman depended on whether the princess would allow it. Although Shi Lang is ugly, he is the chief admiral of the navy, and the future is promising.

The difference between the identities that come and go is worlds apart.

The little insect thought about it, but decided to try Shi Lang again, take a look at his eloquence, and character, and then decide whether to allow this marriage, Ying Ying got up and said to herself, "No matter how you fish, you can't catch it!" ”

Shi Lang waited for an hour and finally waited for the beauty to speak, and hurriedly said, "Fishing is really boring. ”

The little insect looked sideways at Shi Lang and said, "General, do you know how to fish?" ”

The little beauty took the initiative to talk, Shi Lang was also born and died on weekdays, and was used to seeing big scenes, but at this moment, in the face of a delicate beauty, a big face suddenly swelled red, and said hesitantly, "I, big, coarse, no, no, will know these elegant things." ”

Seeing that he couldn't even say nice words, the little worm was very poor in eloquence, his heart sank again, and his face showed disappointment, and he just wanted to end this blind date immediately, "Then I'm leaving, stop playing!" ”
