Chapter 347: Captain of the Transport Brigade

"Huang Long, I've heard of this person, but I don't have any friendship. "Xie Lian www.biquge.info was a little disappointed, it seems that it is unlikely that he can count on Huang Long to help. Now Huang Long does have a water division in his hands, and his strength is not small, but Xie Lian and Huang Long really have no intersection.

"If you don't have a friendship, Huang Long may also be able to help, because he has the same heart as Lord Xie who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Chu's understanding of Huanglong is all because of his loyalty. Huanglong was commemorated by later generations because of his loyalty, and the Huanglong Tomb in Lushun is a must-visit place for people who travel to Lushun, and the government will also set it as a patriotic education base, so Zhang Chu remembers the deeds of Huanglong very clearly.

Huanglong Liaodong was a scholar, and later Liaodong fell into the war, Huanglong abandoned his pen and followed Rong, starting from a low-level officer, and gradually became a general by relying on combat bravery. In the original history, Huanglong was appreciated by the emperor because he fought tenaciously and commanded properly in the battle to recover Luanzhou, but due to the appearance of Zhang Chu and burned Luanzhou, Huanglong had no chance to perform in Luanzhou, but gold will always shine, and in the battle to recover the other three cities, Huanglong performed well, entered the field of vision of courtiers and emperors, and was promoted to the general soldier by three ranks, and received Dongjiang Town after Mao Wenlong's death. After Mao Wenlong's death, his Dongjiang generals were divided into two factions, one faction loyal to Mao Wenlong, and the other faction loyal to the imperial court, while Huang Long soon became the "Commander of the Light Pole" because he was an outsider. In October of the third year of Chongzhen, Geng Zhongyu, who was loyal to Mao Wenlong, led his subordinates to make a salary, caught Huanglong and put him in prison, where Huang Long refused to surrender to the rebels and was cut off his ears and nose. Later, the Dongjiang generals Shang Keyi, Shang Kexi and others staged another mutiny to rescue Huanglong, who sent troops to kill Geng Zhongyu, and the other rebels were forced to flee overseas to become pirates.

When Kong Youde rebelled, Huanglong's old mother and young son were in Dengzhou City, and were captured by Kong Youde and others, and the rebels took Huanglong's old mother's golden hairpin to surrender Huanglong. Huanglong "worships the hairpin and does not obey". Huanglong's youngest son was only 12 years old at the time, and the rebels set up a banquet to threaten him to surrender, and the youngest son "scolded on the spot, was killed, and his head fell a few times", and then Huanglong's mother was also killed for scolding the thief.

When his relatives were killed, Huang Long insisted on fighting, and successively pacified the wars in Guangludao, Changshan Island, Jinzhou and Lushun, and killed and killed Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's henchmen in Lushun.

If history does not change, Huang Long will die in Lushun in the attack against the Houjin next year, and now Zhang Chu has decided to change history and add a glimmer of hope to the survival of this brave and loyal man.

"Then I'll write to Huang Long to try, what do we need him to help with?" Xie Lian heard that Huang Long was a loyal person, and decided to write a letter in person to try if this Denglai governor would work, but as for Zhang Chu's sycophants and including him as a loyal person, he didn't dare to agree, he always had a feeling that his loyalty and treachery were pressed on Zhang Chu, Zhang Chuzhong himself was loyal, if Zhang Chu rebelled, he would get more infamy than Zhang Chu.

"All we need to do is ask Mr. Huang to send some experienced sailors and shipbuilders to help us train sailors and build ships. We pay for these people's wages. If he had good shipbuilding timber from him, we would have paid for it, and it would not have been a big loss to him, and he might have made some money. Zhang Chu knew that the Northeast was rich in timber, and he didn't know if Huanglong could get timber in Lushun, so he asked Xie Lian to write a letter to ask.

Xie Lian felt that this was not an extraordinary request, and after returning to Dengzhou, he began to think about how to wording the letter to Huanglong.

Zhang Chu, who was in Dengzhou, was also reflecting on his recent work, and through an afternoon of thinking, Zhang Chu found that he had recently been too close to those loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and it was too laborious to attract these people to cooperate with him. If you have time, it is better to find some traitors to work with, and life will be much easier. However, it is not so easy to find traitors, Zhang Chu originally knew not many courtiers, and it was quite difficult to pick out a traitor from among them, so Zhang Chu decided to cultivate one himself.

This one who was selected as a traitor and focused on cultivating Guo Zhiyi, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei.

Guo Zhiyi lives in Dengzhou City is very depressed, people's lives will always experience ups and downs, Shanxi trip to him from many years of immobile 100 households finally rose to 1,000 households, which made him happy for a while, but now he regrets a little bit, rather than taking such a risk now, it is better to live with his family in the capital in the past.

He has sensed the existence of danger, and the young man he thought brought him good luck showed his true colors, he was Zhang Chu, the commander of the security army, the leader of the bandits, that was not an ordinary person, and he also stupidly took him to meet Lord Luo Yangxing and Cao Huachun's father-in-law, didn't he look for death.

This time he returned to the security army, Guo Zhiyi was strictly restricted in the scope of his activities, and was de facto imprisoned, and the role he could play was a microphone, responsible for ordering his subordinates to send Wang Chengen and Song Fold to the emperor, these things were under the supervision of the security army, and he couldn't talk much. Besides, now that Zhang Chu is still fighting for the imperial court, if he says bad things about him at this time, the imperial court will not believe it, and Zhang Chu will not let him go. Zhang Chu looked at Si Swenwen, but he would not be soft when he killed people, he was a real bandit.

With a nervous mood, Guo Zhiyi was called to the front by Zhang Chu.

"Congratulations to Lord Guo for being assigned a good errand by the emperor again." When Zhang Chu saw Guo Zhiyi, he was full of spring breeze as always.

"Rejoice, rejoice." Guo Zhiyi already knew the content of the emperor's decree, in order to rebuild Denglai, the emperor ordered all parts of the country to support the materials in the Denglai area, and he was assigned to be responsible for the transportation and security of these materials, this is completely an errand drudgery, not only can not make merit, but also have to take responsibility, let alone want to make oil and water from it, the collection and procurement of materials are in the hands of local officials, if the materials transported back are less, with Zhang Chu's shrewdness will definitely be discovered, but at this time Zhang Chu said that this errand is good, and he can't object. I had to casually agree.

Zhang Chu saw his uneasy appearance and enlightened: "Don't underestimate this errand, this is the captain of the transportation brigade, and there are more opportunities to get promoted and make a fortune, what do you say Lord Luo and Gonggong Cao like the most?" ”

Zhang Chu's question is not a difficult problem, as long as you have been in contact with these two, you will know the answer, so Guo Zhiyi has nothing to hide, and said: "The favorite thing of the two of them is silver." ”

"If you cooperate with me, not only as the emperor's transport captain, but also as the transport captain of the security army, you will be able to get a lot of silver, and you can also give Luo Yanghe and Cao Huachun a lot of silver, you will be rich, and you will not be far from being promoted." Zhang Chu offered tempting conditions.

"What are you shipping?" Guo Zhiyi could feel that Zhang Chu would not let him transport anything good.

"It's just some salt that people often eat." Zhang Chu's words were very relaxed.

"It's illegal for you to sell illicit salt." Guo Zhiyi was shocked. (To be continued.) )
