The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

As the governor of a province, his likes and dislikes and his every move will naturally fall into the eyes of people with good intentions, thus affecting the officialdom atmosphere in Fujian.

At least, spread the word, and the officials below would not dare to be so unscrupulous.

"Officials, please use it slowly, Yun Niang will retire."

The flamboyant woman in the lead put her hands on her left waist, lowered her eyebrows, and led the crowd to lean over them and slowly withdraw.

Everything seems to be well-trained.

"Come, colleagues, please raise a glass, today Governor Qin is in office, and we will congratulate Governor Qin!"

The wine girl was driven away by the governor of Qin, and the governor Zhang Kentang could only pour the wine himself, raising a glass to Qin Haoming, who was on the left.

Everyone responded one after another, smiling, and did not despise Qin Haoming because of his age, everything was in order, and the order of officialdom was maintained extremely well.

Also, the people present can achieve this position, who is not a person with the ups and downs of the sea and the active eyesight?

Different from the rumors, the news they got was multi-faceted and there was no shortage of people who had experienced it personally, so they naturally knew the inside story, how could they dare to underestimate the young man sitting on the top smiling?

They asked themselves how inferior to Gao Qiqian, Xue Guoguan, Chen Yan and others, as long as their own interests are not involved, who in the officialdom is not hello, hello, hello, everyone?

If you really want to rank seniority, it also depends on who the opponent is.

The persimmon is still picked up and pinched well, and kicking the iron plate is not a pleasant thing. Officialdom battles are cruel and abnormal, and they are related to their lives.

"Thank you for your hospitality, this governor has just arrived, and I still need a lot of help from my colleagues in the future, I hope you will not hesitate to give advice!"

In a harmonious atmosphere, after drinking the wine in the glass, Qin Haoming put down the crystal clear wine glass in his hand, and his eyes swept towards them one by one.

"As it should be, it is a duty! Please rest assured that the last general will be the first to look! ”

Chen Yishan, the commander of the capital, is about forty or fifty years old, and he looks honest and honest, not like a military general at all. On the contrary, he was a bit like an old farmer in the countryside, and without waiting for everyone to answer, he took the first step to speak.

Chen Yishan is showing his attitude, the governor focuses on military affairs, if he can't keep pace with him, I'm afraid the first thing to deal with is himself, the commander.

It doesn't matter who it is, it has to do with the location.

A governor without military power, is that still a governor?

Just from the fact that he drove away the kabuki who accompanied the wine as soon as he came, without asking everyone's opinions, we knew that this person was quite arbitrary.

Although it was a small inadvertent action, Chen Yishan still understood the information that could be revealed.

Everyone also clasped their fists and said yes, but they were not as eager and naked as Chen Yishan.

The next thing is naturally to stagger and talk about it, except for Zhang Kentang, who can be reserved, everyone else has flattery.

"Whose property is this building? The governor sees that the location of this building is convenient, the scenery is excellent, and the service is considerate and the dishes are innovative, even the land of Gyeonggi is slightly inferior.

Looking at its management, it will inevitably make a lot of money.

Today, the governor's yamen chartered the venue, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money? ”

After three rounds of drinking, Qin Haoming saw that the place on the fifth floor was enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and the decoration was magnificent, extremely elegant, and there was a stage for performances in the middle, so you could imagine the scene of singing day and night in the past.

Now there were only the six of them dining, and it seemed a little empty, and they asked with some interest.

"Governor Qin, this is the property of General Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla in coastal defense.

Quanzhou Anhai Zheng family has a big business, mainly based on sea trade, this restaurant is just a vassal elegance, convenient for Fuzhou colleagues to have a place to gather, but also has the effect of a post station.

To tell you the truth, today's banquet costs no public money. Long before the Qin Governor came, General Zheng said that he would arrange this banquet.

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of Governor Qin, General Zheng would definitely have come from Anhai Anping Town, which was a bit unlucky. ”

Wu Zhiping, the political envoy of the right cloth, raised his glass to Qin Haoming, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said neatly.

It can be seen that he has a very good impression of Zheng Zhilong.

"Oh, in this way, this governor owes General Zheng a favor today, and he should thank him when he meets him tomorrow.

Well, I don't mean that there is seafood in this building, yes, there are thousands of ships in the Zheng family, and there is naturally no shortage of food in the sea.

Speaking of which, the Zheng family's sailor defended Daming against the red-haired thief, which is very good! ”

Qin Haoming remained silent, drank the wine in the cup, picked up a fat lobster and said while eating.

In history, this Wu Zhiping seems to be the last governor of Fujian and the successor of Zhang Kentang, Zheng Zhilong was promoted from the coastal defense guerrilla to the general army in his hands, but I don't know what the character of this person is?

"Why should Governor Qin thank you for such a trivial matter, the brothers of the Zheng family are all bold people, and the food and salary of the soldiers in the Fujian Guard Battalion are mostly transferred by Zheng Zhilong, which is very helpful."

Li Yiping, the political envoy of Zuo Bu, was in charge of Fujian's finances, and at this time he also intervened to say good things for Zheng Zhilong.

"Yes, in October of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong suffered the heaviest loss in the Battle of Liuluo Bay, and the loss of men and horses was both his subordinates and the Green Forest brothers.

Therefore, in addition to the reward arranged by Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian at that time, Zheng Zhilong himself used the Jianghu Order to issue a reward to his subordinates with his own private treasury:

Each participant was given two taels of silver, and if the fighting was prolonged, an additional five taels were given. Sixteen men for each fireship, and if the Dutch ship burns down, two hundred taels of silver, sixteen of them, and fifty taels of silver for one Dutchman's head.

The monthly salary of the seven-grade officials of the imperial court is only about five taels of silver, so this reward is quite high.

Gao Xiangge coupled with the anger aroused by the righteousness of the rivers and lakes made Zheng Zhilong's subordinates morale high, and only then did they win the Battle of Luowan.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration for Qin Du to praise the Zheng family's sailors for defending the Ming against the red-haired thieves. ”

Governor Zhang Kentang stroked his long beard under his chin, and kept praising Zheng Zhilong.

"What a national leader! This is the Governor's favorite of these heroes, please have a drink! ”

After listening to what Zhang Kentang said, Qin Haoming patted his desk excitedly and raised his wine glass.

It seems that Zheng Zhilong has a lot of interests with the upper echelons of Fujian officialdom, and even the formation of an entire interest group is not known.

However, it is not surprising that Zheng Zhilong is different from other pirates.

Since the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Yan Siqi died of illness in Taiwan, and Zheng Zhilong naturally became the new head of the pirate group.

Soon, he demonstrated his shrewd and strong leadership skills, and the power of the pirate group grew rapidly.

When encountering all living beings, they will give money, and when they meet the poor, they will be rewarded to recruit help, and they will be baitized by spies, so that they can use ghosts and gods, and everyone is happy to use them.

At that time, there was a severe drought in Fujian for many years, and the hungry people returned to it like a tide, and soon he gathered thousands of ships, and Zheng Zhilong took the opportunity to recruit tens of thousands of apprentices, and his reputation was greatly enhanced.

They repeatedly plundered the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, and their raiding methods were also different from those of ordinary pirates, and they were not allowed to kidnap women, slaughter people, or set fires.

Moreover, Zheng Zhilong never gave up any opportunity to express his favor to the Ming Dynasty.

He often fought against the Ming army, and after victory, he often stopped his subordinates from pursuing, especially not embarrassing the generals.

He once did not chase after Hong Xianchun, and was not killed by the guerrilla Lu Yuying, and threatened: "If you have to add up to one lord, you should be able to serve the dead, and the southeast half of the wall can be held high." ”

Zheng Zhilong's efforts to show favor to the Ming Dynasty finally had an effect, Chongzhen in September of the first year, at the suggestion of Wang You, the governor of Quanzhou, Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan sent Lu Yuying to appease Zheng Zhilong.

After Zheng Zhilong was appeased, he served as a guerrilla in coastal defense.

With his bold and generous personality, and he has been operating in Fujian for more than ten years, he can basically be said to be the uncrowned king.

According to Qin Haoming's knowledge, Zheng Zhilong is not only generous to Fujian officialdom officials, but also very good in treating his hometown fathers.

Zheng Zhilong has to donate a lot of silver and food to the lonely and widowed elderly every month, and also sponsors many scholars to gain fame.

And he never bullied the weak in the township, and Zheng Zhilong's reputation in Quanzhou and even Fujian is very good.

As for his hometown, the people of Anping Town regard him as a Buddha of ten thousand families.

"Yes, yes, Qin Du is a hero and a hero, and he sympathizes with each other!"

According to the inspector, Wang Gui saw that Governor Qin and his colleagues were full of praise for Zheng Zhilong, and immediately added icing on the cake.

As the highest person in charge of the criminal name of a province, he is naturally the target of Zheng Zhilong's stammering.

It's just that he is cautious by nature, pays attention to concealment, and generally does not express his opinion until things are clear.

The amber liquor was poured into the cup, and the aroma of the wine was immediately overflowing, Qin Haoming sniffed deeply, drank it all, and praised the good wine with his eyes closed.

It's just that I feel bitter in my heart, the Zheng family has been deeply rooted in Fujian for many years, and they have worked hard, which is really deep-rooted!
