Section 343 Yang Mou
The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty
Zheng Zhilong stood up flutteringly, forcibly calmed himself, and listened to how the young Qin Governor in front of him planned for himself as the chief military officer.
This matter can be divided into two steps, one of which is to worry about the Son of Heaven, General Zheng may wish to raise five million catties of grain from the Nanyang region to relieve the current food crisis of the Ming Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven will be overjoyed.
In this way, the Governor also has a reason to recommend a general to the Son of Heaven.
Thinking about it, this matter is as easy as a finger for the general, but it is only a matter of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. It really doesn't work, the army drives over and loots, not only does it cost nothing, but even a fortune can be gained.
Second, to obtain military merits.
How the Governor sat in this position, the general knew very well. In this case, why didn't General Zheng follow the gourd, and the army went north along the coast of Jiannu and killed them fiercely.
With the intention of calculating or not, Jiannu has no water master, and the governor is not full of words, in the case of a sudden raid, it should not be difficult to behead tens of thousands of people.
What's more, it doesn't have to be the head of a slave soldier, as long as it is a slave, isn't it?
If they do this a few times, Jiannu will inevitably have to deploy troops to defend the coastline.
In this way, the pressure on the generals at the frontline will definitely be greatly reduced, and under the great joy of the Son of Heaven, the general, the position of the chief military officer of Guangzhou, will not be captured?
Moreover, if the general's subordinates are fighting for anger and beheading tens of thousands of people, then the government and the opposition, the world's soldiers will inevitably praise the general, isn't the Anping Zheng family as Qi Shaobao, prestigious?
After many years, after Chen Dusi became a minister, if the governor was still in this position, or General Zheng would operate again, it would be difficult to transfer to the chief military officer of Fujian. ”
Looking at Zheng Zhilong, who was breathing more and more rapidly, Qin Haoming skipped a wry smile on his lips, quite emotional.
The Ming Dynasty's long-term worship of literature and suppression of martial arts, coupled with Wen Tian and martial arts, no one in the entire court was loyal to state affairs, and no one could stand at the height of the overall situation and use various resources to deal with Jiannu.
Otherwise, what is the point of a mere hundreds of thousands of slaves?
How many good cards can be played in the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that there are no good ministers and fierce generals at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so they were robbed of the Han people by Jiannu, which is really sad.
"Thank you Governor Qin for your advice, the Zheng family will never forget."
As Qin Haoming finished his last sentence, Zheng Zhilong could no longer suppress the turbulent waves in his heart and kowtowed again.
It's not that he is self-deprecating and his leg bones are weak, but he can't accept it!
The identity problem that has plagued me for a long time has been thoroughly analyzed by people in a few words, why can't I think of this?
These two things are so easy for him, but the gains are so huge.
It is a pity that in order to tie up with these civil officials in Fujian, he invests millions of dollars every year, but he never knows that he is upright, he only knows that the sword is on the wrong side, so that he has not advanced an inch all the year round, and he is called by the civil officials.
If he had known this and used the money from the annual bribe for this, I believe that Emperor Chongzhen would definitely rely on him as a general of the Great Wall, and he would have been the chief military officer or a higher level.
As for looting and building slaves, that's just his housekeeping skills, isn't that what pirates do?
Even if you have precautions, it's useless, how can you defend the long coastline, it's just a matter of how much you gain.
There is no fluke in success, and the young people in front of him can achieve this position, not by virtue of victory in one or two battles, by virtue of military merits, and by using vision and strategy to impress the heavenly family!
In a word, the country is prosperous, about that.
If he is promoted from the coastal defense guerrilla of the fourth rank to the chief military officer of the second grade, he will be directly under the jurisdiction of the governor, and the Zheng family will enter the ranks of the military generals from then on, and future generations will benefit immensely.
How could he not thank Qin Du?
"General Zheng, don't do this, everything still needs to be worked on!"
Qin Haoming helped him up, thinking in his heart, judging from Zheng Zhilong's reaction, the Zheng family could not be loyal to Da Ming, but it was certain that there was no dissent.
In that case, we might as well test it again.
Waving his hand to let the four gorgeous women who were in charge of serving them leave, Qin Haoming simply sat opposite Zheng Zhilong and said sincerely:
"What you gain, you have to lose!
General Zheng must know that if the general has no other intentions, the imperial court will always have scruples about the Zheng family having such a large sailor.
After all, they do not receive food and salary from the imperial court, and they belong to the Zheng family's private army.
Now that the imperial court can't get out because of Jiannu and the rebels in the northwest, how should General Zheng deal with himself when the country settles down? ”
"Please ask Governor Qin for advice?"
This problem is exactly what plagues Zheng Zhilong's entire family, supporting the army and respecting himself, the short term is acceptable, but what should I do in the long term?
But if they really want to hand over the military power to the imperial court, they can't do it either, wouldn't that be slaughtered by others?
After all, they used to be pirates, which is why they spent a lot of money and material resources to develop Taiwan.
But after all, Taiwan is a small island, surrounded by the sea, and the population is scarce, and they are really unwilling to leave the land of Daming until they get to that point.
Now, listening to Qin Du's meaning, he can find a way to do both, how can he not be excited?
"Balance!
The Ming army has millions of people, why is it not so troubled?
That's because the army is in the hands of different generals, but the Ming navy is dominant, which is what the imperial court is afraid of.
The governor understands the scruples of the Ming court, and at the same time understands the suffering of the general. The solution to this matter is for the imperial court to create one or several sailors to check and balance each other.
In this way, both parties can let go of the knot without having to be wary of each other. ”
Qin Haoming knocked on the table, put aside the hidden things, and directly explained the essence of the matter.
"Reason is this principle, just ......"
Zheng Zhilong frowned, his expression was a little confused, and he suddenly didn't know how to decide.
"The general is confused!
The Ming Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles and a population of tens of trillions, how can 200,000 people resist it?
He has a smooth day, and the traitors in the northwest and the slaves in the north are all crumbling Wagouer!
At that time, could it be that the general really wanted to drag hundreds of people of the Zheng family into the bottomless abyss?
On the other hand, even with the help of generals, it is difficult to form an army in three or five years due to lack of financial resources.
Even if he formed an army and retreated 10,000 steps, it would never be as large as a general. Where to go, I hope the general will think carefully, this governor's words are all here! ”
Qin Haoming's tone was very determined, he used an upright plan, and he was not afraid that Zheng Zhilong would not be on the road.
Not to mention Zheng Zhilong, Jiannu in the north, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the northwest, including the princes of the imperial court, all think so.
The Ming Dynasty is a huge ancient empire, knocking and dividing some soup, no one wants to occupy this land and replace it!
"Yes, what Qin Du said is extremely true! The last general must fully cooperate with the imperial court, form a new sailor, and do his best for the Ming court. ”
Qin Haoming's words of becoming an army in three or five years made Zheng Zhilong's eyes light up, and his heart was transparent.
Although Qin Governor had great wisdom, he was still too young to have any contact with maritime affairs.
If the sailor wants to become an army in three or five years, it is simply impossible. Especially on the basis of the lack of financial resources of the imperial court, how can we talk about it without ten or eight years.
In this case, why not pretend to be generous, and then think about the situation in ten or eight years.
"Okay, General Zheng is loyal to state affairs, this governor must give the son of tomorrow, come, pour wine, and congratulate the general!"
Qin Haoming patted the table and shouted loudly. Just like his actions, his heart is really happy, with the help of the Zheng family, how can the Ming Navy become more and more miles away?
As for Zheng Zhilong's abacus, there are some things he can't control.
"Governor Qin is slow, there will be a gift for Governor Qin at the end."
Zheng Zhilong, who was fully resolved, smiled with a smile on his face and clapped his hands a few times.
