[Today's fourth shift is delivered! ] 】
"Tartar? Missing! ”
Zhang Zhun shook his head.
The Tartars sent people at this time, of course, to negotiate peace. Idiots know that the Tiger Army will not make peace with the Tartars, and the Tartars will not be able to make peace with the Tiger Army sincerely. Since neither side has the sincerity to negotiate peace, why waste saliva?
"My lord, the person who came claimed to be Fan Wencheng."
Dugu Hunt said in a low voice.
"Fan Wencheng?"
"Call him in!"
Zhang Zhun's eyes flashed, and he said awe-inspiringly.
Fan Wencheng, you dare to crash into my hands! There is really a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to enter hell! You think I don't dare to kill you, so I run in front of me unscrupulously to spread wildness, don't you? I'd like to see how many pounds and taels you have!
"Lord Dudu, Fan Wencheng is here."
A moment later, Dugu Hunt came in with Fan Wencheng.
"Fan Wencheng, a subordinate official of Dajin State, has seen His Excellency the Governor of the Ming Kingdom." 、
Fan Wencheng said respectfully.
Wang Shide, who was next to him, couldn't help but quietly look up at the other party, with an undisguised trace of pity in his eyes. This Fan Wencheng, did he think he didn't die fast enough? Dare to claim to be a subordinate official of the Dajin Kingdom, and dare to secretly ridicule Zhang Zhun as a subordinate official of the Ming Kingdom?
"Fan Wencheng?"
Zhang Zhun said quietly.
In the history of the late Ming Dynasty, the name of this big traitor must be indispensable. For this name, Zhang Zhun himself is also familiar with it. It's just that in the first few battles with the Tartars, this big traitor never showed up. If it weren't for Ma Yi's intelligence affirming the existence of this person, Zhang Zhun would have thought that Fan Wencheng was a fictional character in history. Now, this guy is finally willing to come forward, and he has come to himself in a hurry.
"Dare to ask the Governor what he commands?"
Fan Wencheng was obviously mentally prepared to be divided by Zhang Zhun's five horses, and when he spoke, his tone did not change. This quiet skill is indeed relatively rare. Even if Zu Dashou saw Zhang Zhun, he probably wouldn't be able to maintain such composure.
"You still have some guts!"
Zhang Zhun said coldly.
deliberately introduced himself, especially adding words such as the subordinate official of the Dajin Kingdom, lest he not know that he was an official of the Dajin Kingdom. If a traitor does such a job, it can be regarded as the pinnacle and shameless. Finally, he mentioned that he was a subordinate official of the Ming Kingdom, obviously sarcastically mocking himself as a thief. Such a guy is really rare!
"The lower official is here to discuss business with the Governor, and if it is superfluous, there is no need for the Governor to say it again. If the Governor sees that the officials are not pleasing to the eye, he will order someone to drag him out and kill him, why do you have to act like this? ”
Fan Wencheng said in a somewhat stiff tone.
"Oh? Serious business? ”
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said disdainfully.
"Of course, it's a serious matter."
Fan Wencheng said with a slightly unnatural expression.
He originally thought that Zhang Zhun might be a gentleman, at least a hypocrite. However, judging from the current situation, Zhang Zhun is very likely to be a real villain. It is impossible to say that Fan Wencheng doesn't care about his life at all. Ants are still greedy for life, let alone humans? It's just that he feels that with his own ability, he can maneuver between a gentleman and a hypocrite, without worrying about his life. However, if Zhang Zhun is a real villain, his life will be over.
"Let's talk about it!"
Zhang Zhun said disappreciably.
"I heard that Lord Governor needs a lot of wood?"
Fan Wencheng tried hard to stabilize his mind and asked meaningfully.
Zhang Zhun's sharp gaze slowly fell on Fan Wencheng's face, as if he wanted to see the mind of this big traitor completely clearly. This guy's sense of smell is not bad, the Tiger Ben Army sent people to Liaodong to conduct a secret investigation, and they actually knew about it.
"Lord Governor has sent a large number of people to Liaodong for secret exploration during this time, we are not stupid, naturally we know a little bit about it, and please don't be surprised."
Fan Wencheng said slowly, with a little confidence on his face. Obviously, he is still very satisfied with his own information. Throwing out this news is just enough to give Zhang Zhun a gentle dismount, so that he doesn't dare to despise himself.
Zhang Zhun frowned quietly, and nodded thoughtfully in his heart. He can be regarded as reacquainting himself with Fan Wencheng, a traitor. You can chop off this guy's head with one knife and cut him to pieces with one slash. However, you can't deny that this guy has indeed been poisoned by Dajin Guo, and his behavior and deeds have all stood on the position of Dajin Guo, and he has no intention of changing his position at all.
Such a guy is such a pervert. He is obviously a Han Chinese, and he is obviously different from the Dajin country, but he firmly binds himself to the Dajin country. Until this time, there was still no intention of changing the court. He is really loyal to the Dajin Kingdom! No wonder Huang Taiji trusted him so much that he refused to exchange him for Dorgon.
"I know that you are preparing to negotiate with Zheng Zhilong."
The corners of Zhang Zhun's mouth lifted and said coldly.
"Really?"
Fan Wencheng pretended to respond easily.
Obviously, Zhang Zhun's sudden speech was also a big shock to Fan Wencheng. Although he tried his best to hide himself, Zhang Zhun could still see that his words had a big impact on the other party's heart. The negotiations between Dajin Guo and Zheng Zhilong should be very confidential, how did Zhang Zhun learn about it so quickly?
In fact, it was not surprising for the Tiger Ben Army to learn such news. Because, between Dajin Guo and Zheng Zhilong, it is indeed a long way to go, and it is very difficult to pass news back and forth. Under such circumstances, the envoys sent by Huang Taiji were naturally plenipotentiary representatives. As a result, this envoy secretly arrived in Jinzhou, and the Tiger Benjun knew about it. After all, the Maoyan Division and the Intelligence Department of the Tiger Ben Army are not dry meals, and soon there will be a Ma Yi lurking in Shenyang.
However, Zhang Zhun did not order to intercept the disguised Huang Taiji envoy, but ordered him to be released directly. As a result, the Dajin Kingdom was completely unaware that their plan had not yet been launched, and the Tiger Ben Army had already guessed that it was not far from ten. What I thought was very confidential was a piece of cake in the eyes of others, and Rao is Fan Wencheng couldn't react at all to such a blow.
"I heard that Huang Taiji wants to join forces with Zheng Zhilong to deal with me?"
Zhang Zhun said slowly and quietly.
"The grapevine is insignificant."
Fan Wencheng immediately denied it.
"Huh."
Zhang Zhun smiled casually.
This Fan Wencheng is no longer just a traitor, he is already a completely enslaved Han, and he is no different from a Tartar. In other words, he no longer needs to treat him as a traitor, but as the leader of the Tartars.
"We have what the Governor needs."
Sure enough, Fan Wencheng's speech was completely based on our own self-esteem. This is naturally a big gold country. As a Han person, in front of Zhang Zhun, call us Dajin Kingdom, heaven and earth, I'm afraid there is only Fan Wencheng alone.
"Oh?"
"What do you have?"
Zhang Zhun said lightly.
"We have wood."
Fan Wencheng said methodically.
"Wood?"
Zhang Zhun still said slowly.
"We want to trade a lot of wood for food and cotton clothing."
Fan Wencheng continued.
"That's your business, it's none of my business."
Zhang Zhun said coldly.
"We can exchange ten boatloads of wood for a boatload of food or cotton clothing."
Fan Wencheng ignored Zhang Zhun's words and continued to speak.
Wang Shide next to him frowned quietly. This Fan Wencheng is indeed a little annoying, at this time, he actually dared to put forward conditions with Zhang Zhun. Don't he really know that Zhang Zhun will never be soft on traitors? As long as Zhang Zhun has a look, the tiger army outside will come in, pull him out, cut him with a thousand knives, and execute him with a thousand knives.
Strangely, Zhang Zhun didn't have an angry expression. For Zhang Zhun, Fan Wencheng is a slave chieftain and is no longer a traitor. You can despise him, despise him, mock him, or even beat him, torture him, and kill him, but you have to admit that this person's loyalty to the Dajin Kingdom is indeed impressive.
Perhaps, in this regard, ordinary Tartars no longer dare to speak to Zhang Zhun like this. He is so hard for the Dajin Kingdom, is he really a part of the Dajin Kingdom? What happened to him in the Ming Kingdom at the beginning that would cause him to work so hard for Dajin Kingdom?
"Ten to one?"
Zhang Zhun smiled coldly and said deeply.
"It's negotiable."
Fan Wencheng said unmoved.
Zhang Zhun stared at Fan Wencheng coldly.
Fan Wencheng lowered his head and was silent.
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "If I am not mistaken, you should be Han." ”
Fan Wencheng lowered his head and said slowly: "I am indeed Han, I have never denied that I am Han, but I would rather I am not Han." ”
Zhang Zhun frowned, and said coldly: "It seems that you are completely mentally prepared." ”
Fan Wencheng suddenly raised his head, there seemed to be some aggrieved strangeness in his eyes, and he said with an impassive expression: "Yes, this is the path I chose by myself, I don't regret it." ”
Zhang Zhun snorted coldly in his nostrils, and said in a mocking tone: "I do need wood, and your plan has succeeded." ”
Fan Wencheng's expression was still unmoving, and he said in a stiff tone: "This is an exchange of interests, not a ploy." You get what you need, and we get what we need. ”
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Ten boats of timber, exchange for one boatload of grain or cotton clothes, deal!" ”
Fan Wencheng clenched his fists and said: "Lord Du Du is really a crisp person, thank you!" ”
With that, he got up and took his leave.
Wang Shide looked at Fan Wencheng's back and said a little curiously: "Lord Dudu, why don't you chop him with a knife?" This kid is just too much. I've seen shameless traitors, but I've never seen such shameless traitors. I am obviously a Han Chinese, but I still run for the Tartars so shamelessly, it is simply unreasonable! ”
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said: "He is already a Tartar, don't say that he is Han in the future." ”
Wang Shide nodded and said no more.
Zhang Zhun paced back and forth in the hall, as if thinking about something. After a while, Zhang Zhun slowly sat down and carefully calculated something on the table. After a long while, the calculation results came out, probably because the results made Zhang Zhun feel not very satisfied, so he kept frowning and fell into deep thought.
The Tiger Army is in great need of wood at the moment, especially large pieces of wood, preferably a hundred, or even a thousand-year-old tree. Therefore, even in the face of a guy like Fan Wencheng, Zhang Zhun must put aside his personal feelings for the time being, and first consider the future of the Tiger Benjun.
All of this is because of Zheng Chenggong's kid.
Intelligence from the front line in Fujian said that in recent times, Zheng Chenggong has been hiding from Lao Tzu Zheng Zhilong, and is quietly mobilizing warships, and it seems that there is a trend of going north. Because of the long distance, the intelligence system of the Tiger Ben Army in Fujian is not very perfect, and the information sent is unknown. However, this information is enough to attract Zhang Zhun's attention.
Zhang Zhun believed that Zheng Chenggong mobilized the warships to come, definitely not to come to apologize to himself, let alone to apologize to himself. Zheng Chenggong's comeback is definitely for his Zhang Zhun's life. Other than that, nothing else can eliminate Comrade Xiao Zheng's anger. Since Zheng Chenggong is going to come to find his bad luck, of course the Tiger Benjun must go all out and deal with it calmly.
For the upcoming naval war, Zhang Zhun attaches great importance to it. Zheng Chenggong suffered a loss last time, and it can be said that he underestimated the Huben Navy. However, this comeback, Zheng Chenggong will definitely not make such a low-level mistake again. It is conceivable that when Zheng Chenggong arrives again, it will definitely be a super-large fleet, and it will arrive in a mighty way.
In order to strengthen the force of counterattacking Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Zhun ordered that after the Second Fleet of the Navy arrived at Sado Island, it would also return to prepare for the battle. The Navy's First Fleet and Third Fleet stepped up training day and night and actively prepared for war. All the forces that can be gathered in the Tiger Army Navy will all participate in the war.
What will happen to the outcome of the battle, Zhang Zhun can't predict it yet. The strength of the Zheng family's fleet is much higher than that of the Tiger Army, and it is indeed very difficult for the Tiger Army to win. However, no matter how difficult it is, the Tiger Army still has to go all out to win.
At this point, all the naval forces of the Tiger Ben Army have been assembled, and there is no way out. If defeated, the development of the Tiger Ben Army will be even more tortuous. Once the control of the sea is lost, the strength of the Tiger Ben Army will definitely be greatly reduced. Therefore, such a result is definitely not what Zhang Zhun wants.
However, the worst part is not here. The most important thing is that even if the Tiger Ben Navy wins, I am afraid it will be a disastrous victory, and the loss of personnel and warships will be more. If Zheng Chenggong escapes back, and Zheng Zhilong personally leads the army to come back, then even if the Tiger Ben Army has great ability, it will be impossible to continue to win.
Therefore, Zhang Zhun must think more long-term. The battle with Zheng Chenggong is not the most critical. The most important thing is that after this battle, the Huben Navy will strive to replenish more warships in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can we be invincible for a long time. As long as there are still people and ships, the strength of the navy can be continuously increased.
The contest of military strength at sea is a long-term process, and it is by no means possible to determine victory or defeat overnight. This is because the accumulation of naval power is definitely not achieved overnight, and there must be enough time to precipitate. The accumulation of the strength of the Zheng family's fleet has also taken a long time to have today's strength and status.
Regardless of the power of the force, it is very important to maintain sustainable development. This is very evident in the number and speed of the manufacture of battleships. Whoever has the strength of the country and the more warships he builds, the more likely he is to win the final victory. Otherwise, even if you can win in a short period of time, you will be beaten back to its original shape by the long river of history.
The United States during World War II is the best example. Before the start of World War II, few people recognized the strength of the productive forces in the United States, and even *** people felt that they could bully the Americans. As a result, after the outbreak of the war, the productive forces of the United States boiled like boiling water.
During World War II, the United States produced a total of more than 2,000 *** ships, close to 1,000 destroyers, frigates or something, and dozens of aircraft carriers alone. As for cars, planes, tanks or something, there are even more of them.
Such productivity, even if the commander level is average, can crush you with great force. What Zhang Zhun wants to do is this productivity. The battle with Zheng Zhilong was definitely a long and arduous one. In each battle, a considerable number of warships are bound to be lost. The Tiger Army must maintain a strong warship production capacity in order to finally defeat Zheng Zhilong.
In order to meet the needs of this productivity, the first thing to meet is to provide sufficient raw materials. For sail battleships, wood was the most important raw material, especially for the construction of keels. Large warships have high requirements for keel wood, and in the current situation, except for the Changbai Mountain and the Great Xing'an Mountains area, Zhang Zhun really can't think of any other place, there are thousand-year-old trees.
It was against this background that he agreed to a direct exchange of benefits with the Tartars. All the Tartars needed was food and cotton clothing. These things, for the Tartars, can't be directly transformed into combat effectiveness. If the Tartars want to fight, what they need most is iron. It's a pity that the exchange of iron tools is absolutely forbidden. Presumably, the Tartars themselves thought of this, so they simply did not bring it up.
"My lord, Zheng Zhilong's messenger is here."
Suddenly, Lu Yidian hurriedly came in to report.
"Zheng Zhilong's messenger?"
Zhang Zhun and Wang Shide looked at each other.
As soon as Huang Taiji's envoy left, Zheng Zhilong's envoy arrived, didn't these two guys say that they wanted an alliance to deal with themselves? How can you send someone to find you alone? Which one is this playing? Divorced before you got married?
