Section 438 Go to the fire
The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty
Mawei Port is one of the most important ports in Fujian Province, located in the eastern suburbs of Fuzhou City, on the north bank of the Minjiang River, only more than ten miles away from the inner city, and its outlet section is mostly canyons, with Langqi, Coarse Lu, Chuanshi and other island barriers.
The port is surrounded by mountains and mountains, and the shelter conditions are good. The port area is deep and wide, and there is Fuzhou City and the vast hinterland to rely on, it is a good deep-water port, and the Gushan camp is just stuck in them.
At this moment, this coastal defense station, which was originally less than three or five hundred people, has become a key project of the Governor's Palace, and five or six thousand people are busy here, expanding the dock and dock.
On the sea in the distance, hundreds of Zhengjia ships were waiting to dock in order. Very closely, there were seven or eight sea ships that had already arrived on the shore, and Fang Wuxin commanded the people to come forward to unload their goods.
There is no way, the dock is too small now, the renovation is still completed, and it cannot accommodate too many ships at the same time, so it can only moor several sea ships like ants moving.
Fortunately, this kind of scene has recently been the fourth time, and the attendants are very familiar with the command, and even the thousands of laborers are extremely skilled.
The Zheng Zhilong brothers, who came with the ship, courteously greeted Qin Haoming, and the two sides greeted each other warmly, and then were led by the chief of the guard, Haozi, to the newly built Gushan Villa Officers' Guest House.
The mountain wind is whining, the pine waves are gusting, and the weather outside is bitterly cold.
But in the officer guest house of Gushan Villa, it is as warm as spring.
The pine wood is burning, scorching a boxy iron net.
The mussels, scallops, razor clams, conchs, sea crabs, oysters, and of course, some soft ones such as sea cucumbers, squid, prawns, etc., are constantly tumbling by Mongolian maids who are quite beautiful and dressed in simple clothes, and they are roasted to the outside red and white inside, and the aroma is overflowing.
Qin Haoming, the Zheng brothers and others were all naked in shorts, half-leaning and half-lying in the marble-paved bath, squinting slightly and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the world.
In the string of silver bell-like laughter, let a pair of jade hands, this worldly food is gently and lovingly sent into the mouth, only to feel the fragrance of the lips and teeth, full of charm.
The Zheng Zhilong brothers have a special identity and have never enjoyed any blessings, but they have never eaten the seafood barbecue in Qin Du's mouth.
Therefore, he only cares about eating seafood, and his mouth is full of oil. But it was immediately carefully wiped off by the considerate maid with a wet cotton hand towel, and then another white jade-like shrimp meat was gently put into her mouth.
The civil and military officers of the attendant room accompanying him vary from person to person and behave differently.
Hong Dixin, Wu Feng, Xu Jie and other literati blushed and peeked at Qin Haoming's reaction from time to time, and at the same time had to deal with the tease of almost defenseless Mongolian women.
And Yan Yingyuan, Li Xiang, Fengzi and other generals can only be described as incorrigible. Yes, people don't tease, but they are up and down their own hands, and their ugly faces are unbearable.
As the initiator, Qin Haoming, who invented such an evil way of eating, was smiling evilly, looking at everyone's ugliness proudly, like watching a hooked fish.
People can play now, but the tricks of future generations are not bad. Especially some fresh gadgets, how can you Ming Dynasty old hats stand it?
Zheng Zhilong burped, let out a long breath, and smiled at Qin Haoming:
"It's not in vain to come here in person, Qin Du is a great talent, there are such tricks in a meal, it's really amazing, it's beyond the reach of the dust!"
Qin Haoming smiled proudly: "Zheng Guerrilla, no, I'm sorry, now I want to call Zheng Zongbing, your sailors have been going back and forth for three months, bringing four million stone grain to Daming from Nanyang, and the merit is great, and the living are not counted."
If it's just a meal, how can it be repaid in case? Later, when you are full of wine and food, you will go with Bentu to experience some new things. ”
came and went, and Zheng Zhilong gradually became lively, and the words were naturally much more casual.
"All of this depends on Qin Du's help in strategizing, and the official is grateful. In the future, I will follow Qin Du, and I hope to take care of him more. ”
The wish of many years was once realized, more than two million grains were shipped to Gyeonggi, and the edict of the Son of Heaven immediately came down, and Zheng Zhilong was named the chief soldier of Guangzhou, and he was only one step away from the chief soldier.
Just wait for the future to make new contributions, and the position of this chief military officer will naturally ......
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong smiled, admiring Qin Haoming's methods more and more.
I still don't know how to spend money, this good steel is used on the blade, and the effect is very different. It turned out that it was wasted......
"Well, in the future, we need you and me to cooperate wholeheartedly and make contributions together. By the way, Mr. Zheng, there are a few things that I still want you to help with. ”
Qin Haoming laughed, his tone relaxed and freehand.
"Governor Qin, please make it clear, an official will swear to the death!"
Zheng Zhilong's wrist is active, and he takes the opportunity to show his loyalty.
However, this may also be what he really meant, no matter what, with Yan Yunniang communicating on his behalf, the relationship between the two parties is undoubtedly soaring.
Especially after seeking the position of general soldier in Guangzhou, Zheng Zhilong can be said to be Qin Haoming's subordinate, so he naturally needs to tie up.
"It's serious, there is no life or death, no trivial matter.
Didn't the imperial court ask the governor to train the navy in Fujian, so he wanted to draw sailors and helmsmen from the general as the backbone and help train them. This is one of them.
The second is that the Dengzhou sailors want to patrol the South Seas with the Zheng family's fleet and be familiar with the routes, especially the waterways and trade routes of the Japanese Kingdom, and hope that the general will give advice.
Third, he wanted the general to help introduce a group of beautiful women from Nanyang and the Wa Kingdom. Let's start with 500 each, and we'll do it ourselves. ”
Qin Haoming waved his hand and said lightly.
"Please rest assured that an official will not hide his personal interests and do his best to complete Governor Qin's orders."
Zheng Zhilong relieved himself after hearing this, and reassured.
Except for the second one, which somewhat involves his interests, the others are insignificant.
In particular, the first one, the dispatch of sailors, helmsmen and other sailors is undoubtedly equivalent to his own upright and upright placement of eyes and ears in the Ming Navy, and he is extremely happy.
"If you want so many beautiful women, Qin Du wants to raise a kabuki?"
Thinking of the third one, Zheng Zhilong's heart moved, if this is to raise Kabuki, there seem to be too many people.
Don't look at Qin Du's youth, doing things is not a whim, he has his own reason, he might as well learn more.
"Oh, set up a laundry team, one to help the brothers wash their clothes, and the other to let the brothers go to the fire.
Of course, only officers and men who train hard, perform well, and have meritorious combat services will have this opportunity. ”
Qin Haoming said it lightly, as if it was not worth mentioning.
As soon as this remark came out, the reactions of all parties were mixed.
Hong Dixin, Wu Feng, Xu Jie and other scholars and literati found it difficult to understand, this is not like Qin Du's usual pure and gentlemanly behavior.
Yes, there is a military prostitute in the Ming Dynasty, but it was temporarily transferred or captured from the people during the war, how could it be kept for a long time just for the soldiers to enjoy?
How much does it cost?
And Yan Yingyuan, Li Xiang, Fengzi and other generals have hungry wolf-like eyes, if you make it clear to the soldiers below, those boys will not be demoralized and desperately work hard?
This soldier is easy to lead!
"Governor Qin really loves soldiers like a son, and he thinks so thoughtfully, he admires it!"
Zheng Zhilong gave it a gentle sentence, and decided to go back and do it immediately, but he still had some doubts in his heart and asked:
"In that case, why should Governor Qin go far and far, wouldn't it be better to recruit from the Ming Dynasty? You must know that most of the Nanyang women are very dark, with a mediocre posture and oily skin.
And the women of the Japanese Kingdom are generally short and have hoop legs, how can they be as perfect as our Ming women? ”
Zheng Zhilong was afraid that Qin Haoming would not know, so he explained in detail. It's just that they have a good relationship now, so casually.
