"Fu Wang...... King Fu actually ...... This is nonsense! Mr. Yu Shan, you really accepted a good student......" Looking at the admonition in his hand, Lu Daqi couldn't help but complain to Qian Qianyi.

"I really didn't expect King Fu to collude with Wu Sangui and Zheng Zhilong! How did they collude? Without waiting for Qian Qianyi to answer, Shi Kefa spoke.

"What's so strange about that. The Zheng family's business is all over the world, and there is no place for them to buy and sell. It was not difficult for King Fu to find them. It's just that Mr. Yu Shan is the teacher of Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, so he didn't discuss this matter with them in advance? Tobe Shangshu Gao Hongtu asked.

Qian Qianyi smiled bitterly and said, "I even found Gao Jie, where would I forget Zheng Zhilong?" It's just that I didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to come with such a hand. He shook his head again and said, "I first found Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhifeng, and he told him that because the Spaniards were moving at sea, he went to sea with the fleet, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return in a few months." As for this matter, he can't take the place of his eldest brother. But I don't want to, he played such a hand for us. Now that I think about it, this person's scheming is really as deep as the sea, but I'm afraid that what he is thinking about is how to let us make wedding clothes for him! ”

Qian Qianyi's words were not exhaustive, but everyone knew what he meant. If Zheng Zhilong follows the people of Donglin to support King Lu, even if in the end, King Lu becomes the Son of Heaven, in the ranking of heroes who support it, Zheng Zhilong will be ranked behind a large number of Donglin Wenchen, how many benefits can he get? However, now, while letting Donglin's people help King Lu, who is not in accordance with the etiquette law, he is going to join forces with Wu Sangui to push King Fu, who should inherit the throne but is now desperate, to the throne.

"It's not here yet." Shi Kefa said, "Although Wu Sangui has elite soldiers in his hands, he lacks money and food, and it is difficult to hold himself. Without grain in the southeast, what can he do? Moreover, although they have blessed kings, they do not have any scholars. As for this good news, God knows if it's true or not! We can immediately ask the prison state to give them an order to obey the court. "To be honest, Shi Kefa's military talent is actually just average, but after all, he is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department and has participated in many military decisions, so he can still see the weaknesses of the Fuwang Group in the north now.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded silently, but Qian Qianyi smiled bitterly: "Since Zheng Zhilong has such a thought, he naturally won't be unprepared." The matter of grain and straw, if there is only Wu Sangui, it is indeed a matter. But there is Zheng Zhilong......" Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but shake his head again, "In the past two years, there is one thing, have you noticed it, where else is the grain on the street, except for Huguang's?" ”

The Jiangnan region has always been an important grain producing area, and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that "Suhu Lake is ripe, and the world is full". However, with the development of maritime trade, the benefits of raising silkworms and planting cotton far exceeded that of growing grain, so the grain fields in the Jiangnan area were changed to mulberry fields and cotton fields, and the grain in the Jiangnan area could not even be self-sufficient, but had to rely on imports from other regions. And the main grain producing area of my Daming has become Huguang. Therefore, the grain on the market in the Nanjing area is mainly trafficked from the Huguang area.

However, in recent years, Huguang has been affected by war and drought, and the supply of food has become very unstable. However, food from overseas quickly filled the gap. Nowadays, the grain on the market in Nanjing, which goes out of Huguang, is mainly the grain from overseas. And the sea trade of the Ming Dynasty is basically inseparable from Zheng Zhilong, which everyone knows.

"As long as Zheng Zhilong is willing to spend money for this, he does have a way to guarantee Wu Sangui's grain." Lu Daqi nodded and said, "The most troublesome thing is not only that. As everyone knows, it is difficult for Beijing to maintain without the transportation of Nanzhili. In recent years, Kyosuke has been attacked one after another, and natural disasters have made the grain harvest more and more unexpected. How much grain is stored in Jingshi, we also know that we can't support it for a long time if we test which grain is stored. At least it won't last longer than Zheng Zhilong and Wu Sangui. When the time comes, the thieves will naturally have to withdraw, and they will be able to recover the Jingshi with the thieves, and then with the great merit of recovering the Jingshi, who else in the world can really compete with them? Qian Yushan, your student's father is really a character. ”

"What are you talking about now?" Lu Daqi said, "The most important thing now is how to do it!" I think we should immediately go on a northern expedition to recapture the Jingshi before they do, otherwise, this matter will be really difficult to handle. In addition, as Shi Shangshu said, they don't have decent Wenchen on their side. This is a big weakness. We must take care of the people in the court and don't let them fall! ”

……

Lu Daqi's worries are justified, in fact, the Zheng family has already begun to contact some civil officials. Zheng Sen mainly has such requirements for these civil officials. First, there can't be too much power behind it, to put it more clearly, that is, it can't be a member of the Donglin Party. This is not that Zheng Sen has a big prejudice against the Donglin Party, in fact, Zheng Sen feels that although the Donglin Party has a lot of annoyance, it is not without merit. For example, the level of the Donglin Party's mouth cannon is absolutely first-class. Moreover, in Zheng Sen's view, although the Donglin Party shouted "the way of the saints" loudly, they were still the spokesmen of big landlords and big businessmen in terms of class nature. And Zheng Sen did not want to engage in any proletarian revolution, his goal was to build a colonialist empire. In Zheng Sen's view, such an empire, in terms of interests, is actually quite consistent with the Donglin Party. Donglin represents the big landlords, and the big landlords naturally like land annexation, but Zheng Sen does not intend to curb the annexation, and even, to a certain extent, he is willing to encourage land annexation. Because history has proved that large-scale land annexation has a very positive effect on industrialization and the establishment of a colonial empire. It was through large-scale land annexation (enclosure movements) that drove large numbers of people into factories and colonies that the Industrial Revolution took place in Britain and made Britain an empire on which the sun never sets. However, the Donglin Party was too ambitious, too fond of competing for leadership, and they lacked foresight. If you talk to them about cooperation now, I am afraid that their asking price will be very high. So, at least for now, Zheng Sen feels that it is not the time to talk about cooperation with the guys from the Donglin Party.

The second requirement is that the person's official position and fame should not be too big, and he must also be flexible and sensible. This is also based on the same reason, that is, to prevent them from stealing the dominance without knowing the sky. I have been a monk for more than 200 years, and the civil officials seem to have a kind of honey. Juice is confident, and I always feel that as long as I climb high and shout, those generals and other dirt buns should come over and kneel and lick them. If Zheng Sen's partner they found at this time still had such an attitude, it would naturally not work.

After combining these factors, Ma Shiying, a famous traitor in history, became Zheng Sen's target.
