Early the next morning, Zheng Sen took Dong You to meet Zheng Zhilong, originally according to the etiquette, Dong You should also go to see Zheng Sen's mother, that is, Zheng Zhilong's wife Tian Chuan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info But at this time, Zheng Sen's younger brother was not yet an adult, so Tagawa had to stay in Japan for the time being.

According to reason, Zheng Sen should have a good rest for a few days, but now there are many things, such as receiving those scholars and doctors, and other things, Zheng Sen has to do it. Among them, the conversation with Ma Shiying is the most important.

"How can the kid be virtuous, Mr. Yaocao came from thousands of miles away, which made the kid panic." As soon as Zheng Sen saw Ma Shiying, he thanked him.

"Haha, although the old man is a few years old, in his heart, he has always regarded Damu as a friend. The old man is a good person, a friend's great joy, as long as the old man can still run, he can't help but come to join in the fun. Besides, the old man is an idler now, he has time, and his health is not bad, what is running away? It bothered Da Mu and Zheng Shuai. Ma Shiying replied with a smile on his face.

Zheng Sen also smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Yaocao for your love." Mr. Yaocao is now idle and comfortable, but Fan Wenzheng has a saying: "If you live in a temple, you are worried about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about your king." 'If there is turmoil today, the king is anxious, and he is not willing to eat; The people were terrified and did not live in peace. Mr. Yaocao is a talent in the world, how can he blindly just seek to be idle? So where will the king and the people be placed? The boy dares to say, don't be surprised by Mr. Xiang. ”

Ma Shiying sighed when he heard it and said: "What you said about Da Mu is the righteousness of the Great Dao, which is the so-called love for others and virtue. It's too late for me to be grateful, so how can I blame you for not knowing how to blame you. It's just that although I also have the heart to serve the country, I don't have the door to serve the country! ”

Zheng Sen also sighed and said: "Alas, Mr. Yaocao has the hope of the world, and he should be sent to Jun Yao Shun. only hates the traitor in power, rejects the loyal and good, and even the bird and the phoenix, which are getting farther and farther away; The swallow finch and the black magpie nest in the altar; Lu Shen Xinyi, but died in the thin forest; Fishy and royal, fragrant not thin. Fortunately, the floating clouds will not be able to hide the daylight, and the saints will finally be able to identify the evil and repel the villain. The kid heard that His Majesty has the intention of reusing the Donglin gentleman. Mr. Zhou Ruzhai will soon be reinstated as the first assistant. Mr. Ruzhai is Mr. Zhang Tianru's teacher, and has always valued Zhang Tianru, and a few days ago he asked Mr. Tianru to recommend talents to the imperial court. Mr. Tianru also has books and boys, when it comes to the world's talents, the kid thinks, today, who is Mr. Sheyaocao? And the officers and troops of the nearest were defeated in Liaodong, Luoyang, and Xiangyang, and Zhang Thief offered loyalty, and the troops were forced to the south of the Yangtze River. Now that the Central Plains is corrupt, the money and grain of the imperial court depend on the southeast half of the wall. If the southeast is lost, the world is in danger! In this critical autumn of survival, both the boy and Mr. Tianru thought that Mr. Fei could not save the situation. We are going to recommend Mr. Ru Zhai, the Governor Fenglu, to Mr. Zhang, and protect the southeast half of our wall. I wonder what Mr. thinks? ”

Since Ma Shiying was demoted, she finally waited for such an opportunity, and naturally she would not let it go. He hurriedly said: "The old man is not modest, the old man has the ability to be a state and a government, and it is really reluctant to be the governor, and he can't be so valued by Xiaoyou and Zhang Tianru." However, if the court needs someone to step up when it is in danger, the old man can't stand idly by. Zhang Tianru once said: 'Death and life are great, and the weight of the husband is more important than the society.' The old man is also willing to do his best for the court, and he will die! ”

Zheng Sen smiled slightly when he heard this, but said again: "I have to say this from the old man, Jiangnan has no worries!" It's just that the soldiers are in danger, although the kid is not good, but he also tries to beg for thieves from the family, and knows a little about the battle array. Today, the thief is loyal to the newly defeated Zuoping thief, and he has countless battles with his war horses and armor. When the boy heard that he was in the army, he had a double-horse heavily armored steel knife, which could be described as a strong soldier. And the new defeat of the officers and troops is great, and the morale is great. And a certain town in Jiangbei, the armor soldiers are decayed, and they are unbearable. And he is a general, how cowardly he is a war thief, and he is bent on abusing the people, I am afraid that he will not be able to listen to the orders of Mr., how will Mr. fight? ”

Ma Shiying thought for a while and said: "Lujiang General Huang Degong can fight some, if there is no defeat of Zuo Ping's thief, only Huang Degong's department can almost stop Zhang Thief's soldiers and horses." However, the old man knew that the military salary received by Huang Degong's department over the years had been insufficient, and he was far less expensive than Liu Zeqing's generation, and he had no money in his hands, so he had few families and limited ordnance. Now it's really worrying to face the thief again. I don't know how Oki taught me? ”

Zheng Sen listened and said with a smile: "First, of course, we still have to get more soldiers." The old gentleman can write to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to bring Liu Zeqing's department of Shandong to his command nearby. Liu Zeqing is a treacherous and cruel person who abuses the people, but he also has a lot of soldiers under him, and if he is willing to fight honestly, it can also be of some use. ”

Ma Shiying listened, shook his head and said: "Liu Zeqing, the old man knows that this person is a good hand at violating the people, and he really wants to fight?" I'm afraid that I will run away from the thief, but not only will I not take care of it, but I will ......"

Zheng Sen listened and said with a smile: "As long as the old gentleman has an army capable of fighting in his hands, are you afraid that he will not be able to suppress a rat like Xiang Liu Zeqing?" As for the available army, hasn't the old gentleman heard that 'there will be faithfulness in the city of ten rooms'? In the past, Zu Shizhi used his father to go on a northern expedition, and the momentum was like a bamboo. Why? As the saying goes, 'fight the tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers'. I have been a monk in the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years, and there are no people who are willing to lead their fathers and fellow villagers to fight and die for righteousness? On the one hand, the old gentleman can make the people form a village and protect themselves, and on the other hand, he can recruit the world's heroes to serve the country in the army. When the time comes, there will be loyal and righteous people who will stand up. The boy knew a person, Kong Zhang, a member of Huguangsheng, who was economical and good at managing his livelihood, and had a lot of contacts with my family. He is also a military strategy, and has the ambition to serve the country. As long as the old gentleman allows him to trade under his rule, and gives this person an order, this person will be able to lead his father and elder to help the king. The old gentleman has this army, first, he can resist the enemy Zhang thief, and second, if Liu Zeqing has anything illegal, the old gentleman can also use this to take it down. It just so happens that he can also borrow his head to deter those arrogant soldiers. ”

Ma Shiying knew that Liu Zeqing and the Zheng family had a grudge, and the Zheng family had been smearing Liu Zeqing through various means in the past two years, and Liu Zeqing had been blocking the Zheng family's business route. Ma Shiying also knew that Zheng Sen actually wanted to take this opportunity to announce his personal vendetta, but he also knew that in order to restore Zhou Yanru's appearance, the Zheng family spent a lot of money. Now that Zhou Yanru is about to regain his appearance, it is time for the Zheng family to get paid. This official position of his own was given by the Zheng family and Zhang Pu. The Zheng family gave themselves such a big benefit, but they only asked for no hindrance to trade in the jurisdiction, and the other thing was to dispose of a military leader with a bad reputation. What's the point? So Ma Shiying smiled and said: "Liu Zeqing is greedy and abuses the people, he should have died a long time ago." Now it is the time to employ people, coupled with the kindness of the saint, this has been tolerating him, if the old man can really recover, he still blindly does not know what to do, that is to kill himself. It's just that the group training in the hands of Mr. Kong, can he really fight? ”

"Don't worry about that, old gentleman." Zheng Sen smiled, "Old gentleman, have you heard of the Jinghai victory?" ”

"But the great victory of Jinghai that beheaded hundreds of Dongxi? I heard that it was fought by Zheng Shuai's army. It's really a battle that greatly boosts the prestige of our dynasty. "Although Ma Shiying is idle at home, he has always been concerned about the court situation, and the victory in Jinghai was also a rare victory for my Ming Dynasty against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Ma Shiying naturally would not be unaware.

"My family's kung fu is all at sea, and I am not proficient in fighting on land. In fact, in the battle of Jinghai, it was not the officers and soldiers under my second uncle's command who contributed to the effort, but the Taixi mercenaries hired by my family at the expense of my family. These Taixi people, who housed Japanese exiled samurai in Nanyang, as well as the Chinese who were adrift abroad, taught them the way of war and defense, and then made money by fighting wars for others. These people honestly say that although they want money to die, they are really good at fighting. I don't hide it from the old gentleman, Kong Bangui wants to organize the militia group, and there are these people in the middle. Although the number of people is limited, the combat power is still very reliable. ”

"In this way, the old man will be relieved." Ma Shiying replied.

After listening to Zheng Sen's words, Ma Shiying naturally understood that this Kong Zhang was actually the spokesperson pushed by the Zheng family. The Zheng family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and even Ma Shiying has business dealings with the Zheng family. And now that there is turmoil everywhere, the Zheng family wants to do business safely, and indeed has to place their own forces in important positions to ensure the safety of their business.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zheng Sen found Kong Zhang again.

"Brother Bangui, I have already negotiated with Ma Yaocao over there. Once he ascended to the position of governor of Lufeng, he would organize an army in the name of guarding against Zhang Xianzhong. Brother Bangui can go to the army with a model army. ”

"What's the composition of this team? How is the command arranged? Kong Zhang asked.

"Although there are not many people in this team, there are many types of troops." Zheng Sen said, "The combat methods of some arms still need to be practiced on the battlefield, so there will be a part of this team of heavy cavalry for charging formations, light cavalry for pursuit, as well as artillery, line infantry and skirmishers. They all need to try their skills on the battlefield and find problems. ”

"So many troops?" Kong Zhang was taken aback and said, "Then how many people should there be in this team?" ”

Zheng Sen said: "The number of people should be as small as possible. There was a company of heavy cavalry, one hundred and sixty men, two hundred horses, and a company of light cavalry, and the same number of men and horses, so that there were three hundred and twenty men. Then there was an artillery company, six guns, thirty horses of various kinds, and one hundred and twenty soldiers. Then there were 500 line infantry, 50 stragglers, plus the command staff officers, there were more than 1,000 people. Such a force is enough to deal with Zhang Xianzhong or Liu Zeqing, no matter how many people there are, it is a little too scary, and it is difficult for us to invest so many troops in the country while we are still confronting the Spaniards. It's just that the supporting personnel are also indispensable, and if you really want to count the supporting personnel, I'm afraid it will take several days, but this can be handed over to our firm to deal with. You can also recruit some auxiliaries on the spot, which is not a big problem. As for decision-making matters, they will be outside, and military orders will not be accepted. The general direction, that is, the decision of whether to take the initiative to fight, is up to you. It is also up to you to decide how far you want to fight, of course, before making a decision, you still have to discuss it with those officers, and of course the final decision is still up to you. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Sen paused to give Kong Zhang time to digest it. Then he said: "However, the specific way to fight and the detailed military arrangements are still based on their opinions." Of course, you can also make a request and give your opinion. ”

Kong Zhang nodded and said, "I understand." ”
