Chapter 828: The New Sea King (Part II)

Ten days later, after a rocky mess on the beachhead of Shuangyu Island, Yang Chengzu and Leng Feishuang sat side by side, looking at the turbulent sea water in front of them, the biting cold wind hit their bodies, but they could not extinguish their fiery enthusiasm.

The remnants of the Black Shark Gang, as well as some of the water-based skilled workers selected by Yang Ji, have entered the Xu Clan's fleet and started the work of mixing sand. Originally, the subordinate relationship of the Xu family was also broken, and the principle of unified establishment and unified distribution was implemented. The captain of a ship and his subordinates may not even be able to name them, and they are almost in a state of not knowing the soldiers, and they will not know the soldiers.

As a result of this establishment, the combat effectiveness of this regiment is now a little weaker than that after the defeat in Ningbo, but they do not undertake combat missions for the time being, so there is no problem with this weakness. This time he went to Guangdong to clean up the Franc machine, Leng Feishuang didn't know much about leading the navy, and the affairs of the fleet here had to be handed over to Zong Yuzi to be responsible. No matter how loyal she is, she is still a general, and she can't miss the sand she should carry before leaving, and Leng Feishuang has never stopped washing her personal troubles.

"This thing is actually very easy to do, her heart is full of attachment to you, in my opinion, even if I don't use the methods of the Holy Sect to control her, she is reluctant to rebel. But it's like this, as if it's not gentlemanly enough. ”

Leng Feishuang's Heavenly Concubine Sect is in full swing, and the former pirates such as the Black Shark Gang and the Xu Clan already have a large number of people who believe in religion, plus the annexed Southeast Plains White Lotus Sect, the followers of this emerging sect are close to 10,000. If this momentum continues, it won't take too long, and she also has the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with Li Fuda and compete in court.

With this capital, the ideal in his heart can be realized faster, Leng Feishuang wanted to put a brazier in his heart, as if his hand was being grabbed by Yang Chengzu, so he didn't care about it.

Yang Chengzu smiled: "This Japanese woman, I can't actually eat it, I can't say that we have slept with it, she must be dead set on me, right?" She also slept with Xu Yang, whether she should be against the water or against the water, what really determines loyalty is always interests and power. However, there is a small need to use some other means. Just like the pirates on this island, many of them are from Huizhou and are villagers, but so what? I gave them benefits, and I was an official, and I recruited them into the Jinyi Guard, and immediately caused them to deviate from morality and turn against each other. In the face of such interests, the villagers are not worth a few dollars. Under the powerful force of the imperial court, they don't dare to be disobedient, but your Heavenly Concubine Sect is just a small means. Without this small means, it is not safe to rely on force and official positions alone. You see, this time I took all their savings away, and if there were parishioners in the middle to appease them, most of them would have killed some people. ”

Leng Feishuang looked at him sideways, "Then aren't you afraid that my strength is too strong, can't you control it?" You know, I'm a thief, and I rebelled with Shi Jinliang in Anlu. What would you do if I had a strong man and didn't listen to you? Or do you also leave a shadow by my side, and when the time comes, he will come and cut off my head as soon as I turn against the water? Let me tell you, I'm not Xu Yang, and my head is not so easy to cut. ”

"Do you think I look like someone who does that kind of boring thing? There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. My father-in-law's smell teaches you to know, right? In fact, how much do I know about him, except that he is Qingqing's father, in addition to knowing that he is out of the army, what else do I know? Does it mean that if you go out of the army, you must be a good person? If you suffer a lot, you can't live if you don't be a thief, are you a good person? It's nothing more than that I have believed in you, or rather, I have believed in this court. Even if Hao Yunlong leads the troops to rebel now, I can lead the troops to cut off his head, and the hearts of the people will turn their backs. As for you, I have believed in your wisdom, and I have believed in your character, and you have rebelled, not to seize the world, but to save people. At least your purpose is not to bring disaster to the country and the people, and now that you have a starvation road that does not require the dead, you will definitely not embark on the road of rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. ”

Leng Feishuang felt like a bosom friend in his heart, even if he was his own master, he was afraid that he didn't know himself like this, but he just decided that he knew how to repay his kindness and would not take away the power of the sect leader. As for the hills and valleys in his chest, except for this man, no one can see clearly.

Under the ups and downs of her heart, she couldn't help but blurt out, "Foyi over there in Guangdong, let me solve it for you, you don't need to go on this trip." The Buddhists have strong guns and sharp firearms, which are not comparable to Xu Yang's thieves. You don't know how to fight, so it's safer to stay and accompany your wife. ”

Yang Chengzu laughed: "Finally learned to care about me?" This is a big improvement, come on, let the official reward one. As he spoke, he was about to kiss him, but unfortunately Leng Feishuang's strength gap with him was too big, as long as he didn't want to, he really couldn't kiss him. Before the head could be handed over, the person had slipped away like a swimming fish, and only a fragrant wind remained in the air.

With the victory of Shuangyu, the plague that had been trapped in the southeast for a long time came to an end temporarily, which was naturally a good thing for the people, but for the maritime merchants and those high-ranking families, it was difficult to say any good news.

At the level of the government, there are also quite a lot of opinions about Yang Chengzu, the main reason is that although this battle is known as a great victory, firstly, there are not many victories, and secondly, there are no prisoners, which makes people inevitably doubt the authenticity of the victory. After the capture of Shuangyu, the seized savings of the Xu family did not stay in Zhejiang to fill the financial deficit, but went north to directly import domestic funds. The specific numbers are also a big mystery.

Even if Yang Chengzu took out a sum of silver from here and gave a reward to the Zhejiang government, so that everyone was a little bare, but after all, compared to the wealth of the enemy country in the legend of the Xu family, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. After the end of the war, the Fifth Battalion of the New Army did not agree to disband, and after the war, it still took such a high military salary, practiced the military formation every day, and consumed local money and food, which also made the local officialdom in Zhejiang quite unhappy.

No matter how unhappy they were, they didn't have the courage and strength to expel Yang Chengzu, so they could only unite with the local wealthy clans in Zhejiang and start to mobilize their forces in the direction of Jingshi. The first is that Yang Shen left Zhejiang and returned to Beijing, and the second is that Guo Xun returned to Beijing to continue to promote the Shenji Battalion, and the post of Zhejiang General Army was temporarily vacant.

As soon as these two arms were gone, the Zhejiang officialdom and maritime merchants breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a eunuch with the king's order banner on his head, and the blood of the Xie family had not dried up before, so these people did not dare to act rashly.

Wait until the second day of February, Yangzhou salt merchants scraped together a sum of 600,000 silver to help pay, and the local gentry in Zhejiang also scraped together a sum of grain, saying that it was to make up for the arrears of the year.

But even if they don't rush, they have to leave, and when they take care of the Franc machine, they should also set off to return to Beijing. The new army in the southeast will also march into Beijing, and it cannot afford to delay. On the surface, it seems that it was the salt merchants and the powerful who successfully expelled him. But a few years later, when the northern army went south, these officials and gentry might not cry even if they cried.
