Chapter 645: The Use of Troops against Yu



Don't talk about big wine in the generous cabin, no meals, .cc [marshmallow]

"Dafang, you actually have this Yaxing?" Xiao Yu didn't care, poured himself a cup, poured a sip, and then grinned bitterly: "It's indeed this year's new tea, but it's too rough and bitter." If you are interested in the tea ceremony, I will send someone to bring you two catties of Longjing before the rain when I have the opportunity. ”

"I know the tea ceremony of a ball?" Dafang said lightly: "On the ocean, it is a few months, and there are no fresh vegetarian dishes to eat, so you can only rely on drinking green tea, otherwise you have to die of illness?" ”

"And this?" Xiao Yu became interested.

"If you don't eat vegetables for a month, your gums will bleed, and if you don't eat for two or three months, you're looking for death. This method was taught by the general. Speaking of which, the general's method is really a second! Speaking of General Sun Yuan, he generously looked in reverence: "Replacing food with tea is one of them." Second, there is no fresh meat to eat above the sea. There's no way to save any other food, and in the deep sea, you can't even catch a single fish

。 So, the general asked us to bring many turtles on board. The thousand-year-old tortoise, the eight-thousand-year-old king, these things can't die without feeding, and they can ensure that the brothers have fresh meat. ”

"That's a great idea!" Yu Xiang applauded: "Speaking of which, the general is really interesting to you sailors, over the years, our Ningxiang Army's family foundation has been given to you." By the way, let's talk about what the battle against Jiro Tagawa was like today. The merchant ship I was on was so slow that I couldn't catch up with you when you got into a fight. ”

"This battle is really interesting, you can see how powerful our flying clippers are, and it is not a problem to run fifty or sixty miles in an hour. With a sail, no one can catch up when retreating, and when attacking, no one can escape. Also, we have new guns on board. As soon as the two armies came into contact just now, I went around to the side where the artillery of the Zheng family's fleet was weak and kept bombarding it with artillery. When Zheng Ergongzi turned the boat around and just aimed the cannon at us, I went around to the back of his buttocks. ”

"In this way, I picked on his weakness and entangled for two hours, and the Zheng family's fleet finally couldn't resist retreating."

Speaking of this, he was generously proud: "Under my flying clipper, it's not so easy to escape." Of course, there are too many ships of the Zheng family, and although I have mobilized all the ships at hand, there are only five clippers equipped with new artillery, and if the other ships are pressed up, it is inevitable that they will not kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. So, I let go of the enemy's small ships and singled out their big warships. ”

"The artillery on the sea is not accurate, dozens of cannons are fired, and one shot can be regarded as burning high incense. So, I put on the chain bomb, and as soon as the thing shot out, it was an iron chain of about ten meters, and with a single brush, the enemy's sail was torn off. ”

"So, the enemy's big ships couldn't move, so we couldn't stop firing around him. Hehe, especially the flagship of Zheng Ergongzi, I was beaten to the ground at the beginning. ”

"This battle has directly destroyed the ten big ships of the Zheng family, and the flagship has been changed and replaced."

"It's enjoyable, it's enjoyable." Xiao Yu was envious when he heard this, and complained: "The general is really eccentric, he has spent so much money to form a water division in the past few years, and he has handed over such a big belongings to you." Grandma's, commanding thousands of troops, like a general. Your status in the general's mind is no weaker than that of General Fei, General Shao, General Jiang, and General Wen. But I was unlucky, and I worked as a clerk and a bookkeeper for three or four years, and I sat in the signing room every day, and I became fat. ”

Dafang was obviously a little carried away, and said with a smile: "My brother, I just told you the truth, the commander of so many men and horses looks majestic, but he is very tired, and often his feet do not touch the land for a month or two. Unlike you, sitting in his mother's room, his official position is constantly rising, and he can always listen to the general's lessons, I envy you for being so tight

。 God forbid, transfer me back to Yangzhou! ”

As he spoke, he drew another cross on his chest.

Xiao Yu looked at the generous appearance, and was angry in his heart: "Dafang, I patronized and chatted, and forgot to say something important." The general asked: How much money do you have on hand? He is in urgent need of money now, so let you take the fleet and escort the relevant money back to Chongming Sha immediately. ”

Dafang hurriedly asked: "How much does the general cost?" ”

Xiao Yu stretched out two fingers.

Dafang: "Twenty thousand taels? ”

Xiao Yu shook his head.

Dafang was taken aback: "Two hundred thousand taels, my God, so many?" ”

Xiao Yu: "200,000 taels and you're complaining, damn it, if I'm not mistaken, you will need 100,000 taels for a clipper boat, right?" ”

"There are so many needs there." Dafang was robbed by him, and was a little depressed: "Brother Yuxiang, to tell you the truth, I don't have so much silver on hand." ”

"Not so much, how many more?" Xiao Yu's expression became serious, and he took out a sealed box with fire paint from his arms and slapped it on the table: "When the general comes, he ordered me to bring you this letter and let you prepare the silver, he is in a hurry to use it." If you don't have enough money, you can postpone it for half a month, and you can find a way to raise it. ”

Dafang unveiled the fire paint, opened the box and saw that it was General Sun Yuan's handwritten letter, he looked at it, and said: "I still have more than 10,000 taels on hand, half a month, even if I give it half a year, it won't be enough." ”

"Fang Wei, I warn you, don't play tricks!" Suddenly, Xiaoyu turned his face and took the case. shouted: "Over the years, our Ningxiang Army has invested at least 600,000 taels of silver in your sailors, and it can be said that all the family foundations have been taken out." That's how you do it? You and Zheng Zhilong have fought several battles, and you have lost battles every year, and today you finally fought again. The general said that from Canton to Quanzhou, and then to Japan, it was a golden waterway, full of gold and silver, as long as you leaned over and picked it up. But you're good, in the past few years, spending money is like flowing water, and you can earn back a penny for your family? ”

Hearing him scold, Dafang's face turned red, but he still couldn't help but stand up and said angrily: "Yu Xiang, they are all their own brothers, what do you do when you talk so ugly, is it really just a waste of snacks?" In the past few years, do you really think I haven't made any money? Sea trade is a heavy profit, every time I get money back, I am not taken by my family to cast into an eagle and scatter it. The family's expenses don't all depend on our water master

。 That's right, my hometown invested 600,000 taels of silver in the water master, but I have earned it back several times, and you can't find out this when you check the accounts. ”

"Check the ghost, I have all the accounts at home in mind!" Xiao Yu said angrily: "You sailors build ships every year, and as soon as the ship goes to sea, it will be scrapped in less than a year, and no amount of silver is enough." ”

Dafang suddenly sighed: "To build a ship, it will take two or three years from buying wood, to getting on the slipway, and drying it, and you have to wait for all the wood to dry." But the general is too careless in his heart...... If the wood is not dry, it will be good to be able to make the previous year. But just like that, he still rushed to work desperately. I understand the general's thoughts, he wants this channel, but he can't be in such a hurry! Yu Xiang, brother, I'm really out of line, so much silver, even if you sell me, you can't make it up. Otherwise, please wait another year. Now our army has finally gained some upper hand on this route, and the Japanese side has just opened up the situation, and in the end, after another year, gold and silver will roll in. ”

"A year, just kidding, I'm afraid that the general won't be able to wait for a month."

"In such a hurry?" Dafang suddenly realized that the problem seemed to be a bit serious, and couldn't help asking, "But something happened at home?" ”

"Everything is fine at home." Xiao Yu's face was awe-inspiring: "The general is going to use troops against Henan, but it's a pity that the military budget is too tight and wants to move some from you." ”

"What's going on with the use of troops against Henan?" Dafang got excited.

Xiao Yu: "Dafang, have you forgotten the resurgence of the thieves the year before last?" ”

"I know that Li Zicheng became the king of Chuang, and he swept the whole of Henan in two years from the Shangluo Mountains, and I don't know how the war is going over there?"

Xiao Yu suddenly sighed: "It's very bad, Henan is already rotten." Now Li Zicheng's thief army has 300,000 giants, just captured Luoyang last year, and the two Fuwang of Luoyang also fell into the hands of Li Zicheng, who was chopped into minced meat, boiled with venison and eaten, and became the raw material of the so-called Fulu feast. After taking Luoyang, Li Zicheng marched into Kaifeng again, fought twice, and failed to take it. At the beginning of this year, three more openings began. Kaifeng has been unable to resist, and now, Zuo Liangyu's army is heading towards Henan to rescue Kaifeng. ”

"Although Zuo Liangyu's army has many people, it is unusable. General Sun said that the left would be defeated. If Zuo Liangyu is defeated, he is afraid that Kaifeng will not be able to hold it, and if Kaifeng is lost, Henan will be in danger. If the whole territory of Henan falls, I am afraid that this country will be finished. Therefore, his old man made several excerpts in a row, asking for troops to enter Henan to participate in the war. Until now, I don't know if there is a fold under the batch, but the general said that this rescue Kaifeng, except for the water division, the two battalions of soldiers and horses must be dispatched

。 ”

"On such a large scale!" Dafang let out a low voice, and couldn't help but look at it: "Good girl, two battalions of soldiers and horses, more than 10,000 people, plus people and auxiliary soldiers, this is the coercion of Mount Tai over the North Sea, a thunderous blow!" With my Ningxiang warriors here, why worry about the thieves not being destroyed? ”

Yu Xiang: "That's natural, our Ningxiang Army hasn't been active for three years." With so many people expanding all of a sudden, we should also go to the battlefield to practice, so that the world will know how powerful we are. However, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, there is really not much food at home, and it really has to fall on the head of your sailor, which is why the general is in a hurry to send me over to find you. ”

"Dafang, you also know the importance of Henan. Henan is lost, the Central Plains is turbulent, and the thief army has a stable rear. I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty won't be able to last long. ”

Dafang sighed "hey": "It's really no money, it's really no money." If you give me another year, no, maybe half a year...... But now it's really not possible, I'm ashamed of the general! ”

Yu Xiang saw his depressed face: "Dafang, are you really out of money or pretending?" ”

"What am I pretending to be such a big deal?" Stamped his feet generously: "This time I am really going to be a sinner for thousands of years, what other face do I have to meet the general?" Brother Xiaoyu, tomorrow we will go back to Chongming Shasu together, and I will personally ask the general for the guilt. ”

"So go back...... I'm afraid it's hard to explain, right? Xiao Yu was also worried: "Perhaps, the defeat of Tian Chuan Jiro can make the general happier." ”

As soon as he heard him talk about this, he patted his forehead generously: "I forgot something, this time I brought someone back to see the general." If the general saw it, he would be very happy. ”

"Who?"

Dafang smiled and only slapped his face.

The cabins opened, and a person who looked like a Fuso samurai walked in and saluted Xiao Yu respectfully: "Kazuo Shimazu pays a visit to Yu." ”

"Wolver!" Xiao Yu jumped up in surprise.

The Japanese samurai looked to be in his early twenties, small but as strong as a bull. There were two swords, one long and one short, pinned to his waist, and the long one was almost dragged to the deck.

"Mr. Yu, the Wako is a pirate ronin, but he is a serious samurai, and my Shimazu family is the number one name on Kyushu Island. When it comes to Japanese pirates, the pirates of the Hirado Domain's Kawa family, who are entrenched in Tsushima Island, Iki Island, and Hirado Island, are Japanese pirates

! The extermination of the Japanese is the common wish of my family and the Ming Dynasty, and I ask Mr. Yu not to confuse the Japanese with the Japanese Emperor. ”

Seeing a Japanese samurai scolding the Japanese Kou, this feeling was a bit strange, and Xiao Yu was speechless for a while.

Dafang: "Shimazu, our army will return to the port tomorrow, don't you want to meet my general, you can see you in two or three days at most, go down!" ”

"Yes, General Fang."

Waiting for Kazuo Shimazu to retreat, Yu Xiang asked Dafang suspiciously: "Dafang, what are you doing with such a Japanese dwarf coming back, and what role does this person play?" ”

Dafang: "It's very useful, hasn't the general always wanted to open a trade route in Japan, this waterway has always been controlled by the Zheng family, and it is very difficult to open up." In the past few years, our navy and the Zheng family have fought several battles, but they have lost more and won less. Now, the Ningxiang sailor has accumulated a little strength, and he finally has the strength to compete with the Zheng family north of the Yellow Sea, and it is time to harvest. ”

"The reason why the Zheng family is able to control the sales of my Ming Dynasty's goods in Japan is not because the son of Jiro Aritagawa is the general agent of the Tagawa family over there. The Tagawa family was only a small daimyo in the Hirado Domain, and Shimazu was much stronger than them. ”

Yu Xiang understood a little: "Dafang, do you mean to support a big name on the side of the Japanese to be our agent?" ”

Dafang: "That's true, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take Kazuo Shimazu back to Chongming Shasu to see the general this time." ”

Yu Xiang suddenly asked: "No, Dafang, as far as I know, the Shimazu family in Kagoshima is the number one name on Kyushu Island, and they are very rich, will they help us deal with the pirates of the Tagawa family?" ”

Dafang: "The Shimazu family may not, but this Shimazu Kazuo will give us his life." ”

"How?"

Dafang: "Although this Shimazu Kazuo is a member of the Shimazu family, he is the illegitimate son of the head of the Shimazu family in the previous generation, and he has been expelled from the Shimazu family because of the dispute over the heir to the family. gathered a group of samurai and down-and-out ronins who were kicked out of their homes, and became pirates at sea, and their strength was not small. I am going to make a proposal to the Shogun, to give full support to Kazuo Shimazu, to help us open up sales in Japan, and to limit the power of the Tagawa family in Hirado. In this way, the general of our family can play for him in the imperial court, find a military position for him, and then set up another Shimazu family on Kyushu Island. ”
