Section 278 Retreat is advance

After Liu Kongzhao took office, Yang Chao still took over the wind with other military attachés, as a military attache of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Chao has always abided by various rules, so there should be light and dark rules in the officialdom, even if he goes against his will, he will do it, not only to Liu Kongzhao to catch the wind, but also to send silver on time.

It is said that this Liu Kongzhao should not be offended, but I don't know why this person actually mobilized a fleet to intercept Yang Chao's escort team, and also opened artillery bombardment.

According to what Zhang Dawei said, there were no less than 30 ships in Liu Kongzhao's fleet, and there were dozens of other big ships, several of which also had cannons on board.

"What about the merchant ships?"

Seeing that his fleet was back, but not a single merchant ship had returned, Yang Chao couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Dawei said: "They were all detained by Sincerity." ”

Zhang Dawei was quite unimpressed by the merchant ships, but Yang Chao didn't see it that way, why did he keep eating the meal of escort, was it really just because he was strong enough? That's because I'm honest enough, I can say as much as I want, I never cheat merchant ships, and I deliver them on time every time.

This is credit, commercial credit, it is based on this credit that many boat owners have always been willing to cooperate with Yang Chao, even if many people later offered a lower price, they are still willing to cooperate with Yang Chao.

But because the economic pressure is too great these days, Yang Chao's fleet is overloaded, and he brought nearly fifty merchant ships with one escort, which can be described as oversaturated.

If you cheat customers like this, the business will not last long.

Yang Chao said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhang, you immediately contact the cargo owners of those merchant ships and tell them that I will try my best to help them get the ship back." But they can't compensate them for their losses for the time being, and if I don't get their goods back, I will compensate them later. Tell them not to worry. I'll give them a letter as soon as I can. ”

As a well-known new general, Yang Chao's attitude towards businessmen surprised Zhang Dawei, but he saw Yang Chao's face. He didn't dare to refute it, and immediately went into action.

"Prepare the car, go to the yamen of the military department!"

Yang Chao also acted immediately, he had to go to Shi Kefa's place, not to sue. Because the complaint is useless, but at least Liu Kongzhao's purpose can be figured out, and at the same time, Shi Kefa needs to come forward to get back those merchant ships.

However, Yang Chao did not sue Liu Kongzhao, but they made a rake, and the paper had already been sent to Shi Kefa.

Liu Kongzhao said that he mobilized the Jiangnan Navy warships to conduct exercises in the Yanziji area, but he encountered a fleet to attack his battle formation, and later found out that this was Yang Chao's warship, so Liu Kongzhao immediately sued Yang Chao, but as for the merchant ship or something. They didn't say a word.

This made Yang Chao understand a little, if Liu Kongzhao sued Yang Chao for privately using a warship to transport goods, and even according to a crime of being a colossus, he didn't mention this, only said that Yang Chao connived at his subordinates to collide with his colleagues, obviously Liu Kongzhao would not admit that there was a problem with that batch of goods, and he would not even admit that there were any goods, so that it would be difficult to get that batch of goods back.

But the boat Yang Chao must come back.

Shi Kefa was also very embarrassed, he knew about Yang Chao's business, and Yang Chao had hired so many refugees during this time. Shi Kefa's favorability towards Yang Chao has greatly increased, and he also thinks that Yang Chao's business and making money is useful, and he shares the worries of the imperial court, but Liu Kongzhao's hand makes Shi Kefa embarrassed.

He wouldn't really ask Yang Chao for his guilt as Liu Kongzhao asked. Liu Kongzhao doesn't take Shi Kefa in his eyes, Shi Kefa doesn't care much about Liu Kongzhao, Shi Kefa, a civil minister, can't help Liu Kongzhao, and Liu Kongzhao, a minister, can't help Shi Kefa either.

"Master Shi, the last general is willing to settle the matter, but Liu Kongzhao must return those merchant ships to the shipowner. Otherwise, it will be a big deal to make a big deal and the net will be broken. The lawsuit is in front of the emperor, and the last general will not rest. ”

Yang Chao made his bottom line clear, so that Shi Kefa could only sigh and promise to help Yang Chao communicate with Liu Kongzhao.

Yang Chao then left, here in Shi Kefa, Yang Chao figured out a little, Liu Kongzhao's purpose is related to the goods, but he mobilized so many warships, with Yang Chao's understanding of the Jiangnan Navy, more than fifty big warships, almost all the big ships that can be used in the river, before Gu Zhaoji did not dare to casually gather these warships scattered in various water camps, Liu Kongzhao from the emperor where to get the most powerful power, he can completely mobilize the Jiangnan Navy, without being restricted by civilian officials, so his actions can be done No one knows.

But the battle is so big, do you just want to grab a little goods from Yang Chao? This made Yang Chao puzzled, but he was sure that it was definitely not just for the sake of ordering goods, as for what he wanted, Yang Chao couldn't think of it for a while.

On the second day after returning to Shuiying, the cao boat that came back from Huai'an brought back more than 100 people, including 100 people from Haizhou, and a few special people, who were gunners from Huai'an and craftsmen from Haizhou.

Huai'an's gunners fought side by side with Yang Chao in Haizhou, although they were all just craftsmen who cast cannons, but the brave spirit they showed still made Yang Chao agree very much, so when he was in Huai'an, Yang Chao reported to Shi Kefa, hoping to transfer these gunners to himself.

At that time, Yang Chao had just returned from a great victory, and Shi Kefa was excited to respond to his requests, so he sent a document to the Nanjing Military Department at that time, but after the captives retreated, Shi Kefa himself was transferred to the Nanjing Military Department.

The same is true of Haizhou, Haizhou Zhizhou Gao Liangming ran away during the siege, the emperor had no chance to kill him, but the captives cut off his head, although it was also a death, but the emperor did not investigate him for abandoning the city afterwards, so that his family was not affected, and his family was still an official family.

The emperor also praised Song Lian, who adhered to the classic history during the siege of the city, Song Lian was successfully promoted to the governor of Haizhou because of his contribution to defending the city and protecting the people, and the new governor of Haizhou did not embarrass Yang Chao, and agreed to transfer a group of military households under the jurisdiction of the government in Haizhou to Nanjing, so a group of craftsmen in Haizhou Yang Chao also came over.

For these craftsmen, needless to say, the gunners fought side by side with Yang Chao, even if they were the elite soldiers who followed Yang Chao, so they were fearless, but they allowed them to cultivate rich combat experience. The blacksmiths of Haizhou have not directly participated in the battle, but they are also extremely important to Yang Chao, at least during the battle, Yang Chao has never worried about military supplies, whether it is spears, bows and arrows, gunpowder, or lead bullet, none of which have restricted Yang Chao.

Not only was he not restricted, but on the contrary, when Yang Chao left, he also took a large amount of military supplies, including 30,000 spears, 6,000 iron armor and 4,000 bird guns.

Yang Chao personally greeted these craftsmen on the dock, and took his own soldiers to help them move their luggage down and move them to the barracks.

From now on, these military households are subordinate to the left guard of the Nanjing Navy Army, but there is no guard to receive them, and they will be placed in Xinjiangkou.

After arranging a stop, Yang Chao found the officers who recruited this time.

This time to Haizhou recruitment, so far it has ended, the result is not so satisfied with Yang Chao, there were 3,000 people in Haizhou who have been baptized by battle, Yang Chao does not know how much he can recruit, so he has not expanded the army, just wait for the results of recruitment, and when the recruitment is over, he will choose to recruit from other ways to make up for the vacancy.

The ideal is to recruit enough troops directly in Haizhou, so that there is no need to recruit inexperienced recruits in other places, but Haizhou only recruited 1,000 people in the end.

On the playground of the Central Thousand General Battalion, five large tables were set up, and about ten officers sat on each table.

"You have worked hard, this official toasts you."

Although the recruitment situation is not ideal, Yang Chao can still understand, after all, this is the Ming Dynasty, let a group of ordinary people thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away to another place to serve as soldiers, the last third agreed, that has proved Yang Chao's super appeal in Haizhou, change a place, change a military attaché, maybe not even a hundred, so Yang Chao still held a small celebration banquet for the recruiting officers.

All the officers raised their glasses, they were in the team when they were in Haizhou, and no one was responsible for training a hundred people, so they went to the old department that recruited them, and without these people, they would not be able to recruit a thousand people.

After toasting everyone collectively, Yang Chao took the wine glass and walked to one of the tables, on which sat a burly officer, sitting straight and upright, slightly different in temperament from other officers, and more in momentum.

"Xie Fei, come on, come on, this official toasts you, you did a good job this time."

Unexpectedly, Yang Chao turned to come over to pay homage to himself, Xie Fei hurriedly stood up, bowed and hugged his fists.

"It's all marked and should be done, and it shouldn't be respected by adults."

Xie Fei said in a deep voice, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his momentum is calm, and he seems to have more aura than everyone else.

"Deserve it, why can't you deserve it, a total of 1,000 people were recruited, and you recruited 300 alone, I can't say anything about this glass of wine if I don't respect you."

After speaking, Yang Chao raised the wine bowl: "Pick it up and touch it with the official." ”

At this time, Xie Fei picked up his wine bowl with a little excitement and touched it carefully with Yang Chao.

"Okay, okay, is this the man in the army?"

Yang Chao said, taking a sip dry, and then walked towards the other officers.

This time he went to Haizhou, Xie Fei found another way, most of the other officers recruited troops in Haizhou City, but he brought a few recruited people to run around the countryside near Haizhou, recruiting a full 300 people.

Yang Chao didn't know when he drank it, and when he woke up, it was already noon the next day, and a guest came to visit, Jia Shilu, the old boss of Yang Chao at the time.

Jia Shilu brought a condition, which was Liu Kongzhao's condition, which was very excessive, but Yang Chao agreed without thinking about it.

promised to give up the shipping business in his hand to Liu Kongzhao. (To be continued...... )。
