Chapter 829: Send the Plague God
The huge fleet set off from Ningbo and sailed to Guangzhou, with Xu Yang's former ship as the flagship, and the huge fleet composed of captured ships and newly made large ships, followed by almost all the capital ships of the entire Ming Naval Division, and its combat effectiveness can also represent the overall strength of the Ming Naval Division.
Due to the elimination of external troubles and financial problems, Yang Chengzu did not expect the government to continue to build new ships in a short period of time. However, three of the large sea ships that were previously funded by the Zhejiang Buzheng Yamen and customized have been launched and all added to the fleet, and the follow-up ones have not been built because they have already paid the money. Moreover, the shipbuilding agency is Longjiang Shipyard, and the part of the order is terminated by the government, and Yang Ji will not be terminated, and the pace of the Ming Royal Fleet is still steadily advancing.
These ships are equipped with newly made artillery from Nanjing, and their strength has been greatly improved. Even if one-on-one is not an opponent of the Franc battleship, it is always possible to fight with more and less to bully. This time, he led a large number of fleets to Guangzhou, and he was also ordered by the Son of Heaven, and the Zhejiang government could not stop it. Together with the battalion of new troops he led, it was difficult for the magistrate to beak.
Since the extermination of Shuangyu, Zhejiang's Yang Feng has never stopped, from his loss of air force funds when he was training troops, to colluding with pirates without permission and falsely reporting his military exploits, these charges have always been sorted out. For example, the so-called victory of Shuangyu is very suspicious, and there are flaws in the beak. Don't underestimate this kind of remarks, when the shortcomings of a certain aspect are one-sidedly magnified, it is enough to make the upper echelons believe that a certain person is a moth that brings disaster to the country and the people, and not killing him is not enough to make the people angry.
It is said that within the country, the most difficult thing to deal with is that if some people unswervingly say bad things about a person, no matter how good this person is, most of the people in the court and the opposition will be ruined. With the departure of Yang Chengzu, the activities of the Yang faction gradually became more frequent, and some people risked their lives to give important evidence to Zhejiang's white bread duke, Yang Chengzu's nemesis: Zhang Jiayin.
These things will not pose any real threat to Yang Chengzu, and those who jumped out made Yang Chengzu remember their names and leave them for the future to repay slowly. In short, his strength really makes Zhejiang officialdom dislike it very much, but there is nothing to be done.
After all, with the blessing of the Son of Heaven and the Emperor, it is not something that the local yamen wants to spoil him, so it can be bad. Even Yang Ji, after he left, was not a soft persimmon to be manipulated. Not to mention that the emperor did not transfer Huang Jin away, and the Wang Ming banner also stayed in Zhejiang, just because there is a Zhang Jiayin in Zhejiang, this dark chess hand is enough to ensure the operation of Yang Ji.
Moreover, he has established enough prestige in the officialdom of Zhejiang, and Ning Shao's military equipment, which was hindered in the course of the Ningbo War, was sent to prison. Whether this soldier is colluding with the Japanese Bandits, or has limited knowledge, or is entrusted by others is impossible to verify, but everyone can at least understand one question, this Yang Chengzu is a person who dares to kill and has the ability to kill.
This method is simple and crude, and it is not a conventional method of officialdom, but it is still very effective when used to deter people's hearts in a short period of time. At least let everyone know that there is no actual fault in the military preparation road, at most he has an elbow, and then he loses his head, and if anyone jumps out to openly fight against the Taiwan at this time, it is stupid.
If someone else is replaced, everyone may use some more extreme means to forcibly expel him from Zhejiang, but when he encounters such a favored minister, he has no choice but to send money and food. Even after he left, he did not dare to do anything to his inheritance, lest he bring back this evil star.
In addition to this, he also has enough chess pieces of his own in Zhejiang, such as the abbot Fang Wenmian, who is still mixed in the officialdom. He is now the temporary prefect of Shaoxing, and the former prefect of Shaoxing is temporarily the prefect of Ningshao. In terms of qualifications and background, Fang Wenmian is not qualified to take charge of this prefect's seal, and he can get to this point with the help of Yang Chengzu.
Moreover, his daughter also wrote a letter to explain this, without Master Yang asking Gong Zhang to take care of him, his life in the palace was not easy, and Fang Wenmian did not dare to offend Yang Chengzu.
There are both people and prestige, and the situation in Zhejiang as a whole will not be shaken by his departure, but on the other hand, it is in Guangdong, which really cannot afford to delay. The newspaper in his hand explained that the Guangdong officers and troops suffered a defeat on the Tuen Mun side, and although there were not too many casualties, the battle was indeed not good.
The Cantonese side is said to have concentrated superior forces to engage the Buddhists, but the result was still lost, and the Portuguese side came with reinforcements. and shouted that he could destroy the country with five ships, and it seemed that there was a situation of opening a war with the Ming Dynasty, and the court did not dare to continue to drag this matter on.
Some of the female dependents of the family stayed in Hangzhou, including Liu Wuer and others, who also stayed. After all, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and before the end of the war, Yang Chengzu was surrounded by women who knew martial arts. The three concubines of Mi Niang, Tie Sango, and Qingqing were accompanied by two concubines with a sword and a bow, so as not to be lonely in the army, but in fact, it was Liu Wu'er who came to guard Leng Feishuang strictly.
The only one of these people who is an outlier is Ma, her martial arts are not very good, and they are all riding and archery, and she is completely a burden in naval battles. The language she knows is also the language used by the merchants on the Silk Road, which is completely different from the Francophone person, and it is completely useless to take her except to warm the bed.
But her appearance is the only one in the Yang family's inner mansion who can be compared to Leng Feishuang at present, Liu Wu'er recommended her to sleep in the house, and her intentions are self-evident. Fortunately, when Zhengde went to Jiangnan, Ma had fallen out of favor and stayed in the leopard room and did not bring it out, the southeast officials did not know her, but they were not afraid of revealing their stuffing, and she was also happy to use this time to enjoy a few more days of grace.
After all, she was born in the military guard, and she was no stranger to the military array, so she snorted heavily with the newspaper in hand. "These military horses in Guangdong are really useless, there are so many people, they can't beat thousands of people in Foyi. Even if Foyi's firearms are powerful, so many people will be killed, can't they win? At the border pass, although our army has firearms, it can't fight a few times, and the northern thieves can rush up, and in the end they still have to use knives. With so many officers and soldiers, why can't they rush forward? ”
The mother looked at her angrily, this shameless former mother used to think that she was a cold beauty and would not hook up with her husband, but she lost her eyes. Now she is leaning on her husband's arms, looking like a favorite concubine, and several people are angry in their hearts, so they refuse to let her.
"Ma's, what do you know, this water battle is not better than land warfare, the Yiren ship is high artillery, don't you see that it is written in the newspaper, the red Yi cannon is ten miles away. With this weapon, no matter how many of you are, half of them will die before they arrive, and the rest of the people will only think about how to escape. The young lady looked like a layman, looked at Ma with disdain, Ma's face changed color, and slapped the table, "You are so bold!" ”
"You're so right, I've always been bold, why do you want to fight? I have three masters and servants here, you can pick one of them to fight, and see which of us is powerful. Do you really think that you are a mother, a wild product with no name, and dare to let it go? ”
Yang Chengzu coughed embarrassedly, "Everyone should say a few words, peace is precious, you fight again, this time I will go to Guangzhou, I will only go to sleep in the coral room." Coral came and sat in her husband's arms, and we didn't learn from them. ”
Iron Coral made a fortune in a muffled voice, and the fish sat in Yang Chengzu's arms, obediently leaning his body on him, and whispering, "Husband, I won't fight with Ma's family, and I won't fight with my sister." Even if you hit me, I won't fight back. ”
"The key is that you can't beat her, you've fought it in Huaxian County, don't fight if it's not an opponent. You guys, you still have to read the Di Bao, there is a doorway here. The little Foyi, even if you add pirates, is only a few thousand people, and now Guangzhou has even transferred Guangxi wolf soldiers, plus the levy soldiers, there are more than 20,000 people, such a big battle, this is someone deliberately wants me to look good. It was this defeat that I think was also the result of someone's will, so it was defeated. ”
He pointed to the name of one of the people above with his hand, "This person, it is our help, with the help of this Weng, it can also be worth half of Huang Jin." ”
Ma Shi was angry when he saw Iron Coral's shy appearance, and according to her temperament, he was afraid that he would not just throw his hands and leave. But I was afraid that I would be completely disgusted, and I became the appearance of the leopard room again, so I had to force my anger to come over, and saw that the name Yang Chengzu was referring to was Zhang Ji, the governor of Liangguang, and I felt inexplicable, "Although this old man is the governor of Liangguang, he has no friendship with Chengzu, so how can it be our help." ”
Yang Chengzu smiled, took out the file of Zhang Cheng organized by Jinyiwei from the document on the side, and pointed to the column of his hometown on it, and the place of origin of Zhang Cheng was marked on the back: Xiaoshan.
