Zhang Li smiled bitterly: "Jingping's temperament is too stubborn, I won't reply to me when I write to her, and the Taoist chief will let Zhenru lay people write to persuade her!" ”

Xuanyang Zidao nodded and responded, "Poor Dao understands." ”

After a pause, Daoist Xuanyangzi glanced at Zhang Li, and said with some emotion: "Jingping is doing this to help you." Previously, everyone thought that she went to John Tang to spread Catholicism in order to fulfill Lord Xu's last wish, but in fact, John Tang was a master of Western cannon casting......"

Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood-it turned out that Jingping went to find Tang Ruowang, and it turned out to be to pull a cannon casting talent for himself to come back!

It took a long time for tension to come back to his senses, and the past was presented one by one, and he was so sorry for Jingping. Zhang Zhang muttered to himself, "Jingping, I can't stand you." ”

Xuanyang Zidao's expression also dimmed, he and Zhenru Jushi have always had this heart disease, but they can't say it clearly.

After a long time, Zhang Zhang seemed to have made up his mind, his expression returned to normal, and he spoke: "Jingping doesn't want to teach her husband and children, but wants to help me do more things, I did wrong before." In the future, if the morning is in the Lord, Jingping is outside the Lord. She used to be the pavilion master of the Sun Moon Pavilion, and she was good at intelligence matters. In the future, the intelligence department of Tuanshan Fort will be in charge of her. Daoist, you and Zhenru lay people go to Fujian, tell Jingping my decision, and ask her to come back to help me quickly. ”

When Xuanyangzi heard this, he immediately became overjoyed. This daughter of his own, not to mention being competitive, is not willing to be idle. Miss Ruochen is a standard lady, while Jingping likes to do things and is an idle master.

Xuanyang Zidao nodded slightly. "That's the best." ”

Zhang Zhang talked to Xuanyangzi Daoist again, and then took him back to the house to attend the banquet at home.

……

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning. Zhang Zhang came to the Jinzhou Council Hall early in the morning, and Chen Zhengcao, the commander of the Tuanshan Water Division, had been waiting here for a long time.

Zhang Zhang did not discuss with Chen Zhengcao in the hall. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to warm a pot of wine, serve a few plates of snacks, and entertain Chen Zhengcao in the flower hall in the backyard of the council hall.

The alcohol content is very low in these years, and the main reason for drinking some alcohol in the morning is to ward off the cold. There were sparse snowflakes floating outside the flower hall, and the waiter in the flower hall poured a glass of warm Shaoxing rice wine for Zhang Zhang and Chen Zhengcao. Zhang Zhang raised his glass and toasted Chen Zhengcao, Chen Zhengcao didn't dare to slack off, and also toasted back.

After drinking two glasses of warm wine, Zhang Li gradually felt that his body was warmer, not as cold as just now. Zhang Li let out a sigh of relief. smiled and said to Chen Zhengcao: "Zhengcao, your family members over there have all taken it over, right?" How was the New Year in Jinzhou? ”

Chen Zhengcao is a native of Beijing, and his family was originally in the capital. When the New Year was approaching last year, Zhang Li's body in North Korea specially issued an order to the Tuanshan Fort in Liaodong, that is, to move the families of the high-level members of the Tuanshan Army to Jinzhou - this is also a worry for people like Chen Zhengcao, Gu Youfeng, and even Lu Xiangsheng in Shandong.

Chen Zhengcao's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicably moved. He stood up, bowed to Zhang Li, and said, "Thank you Lord Zhang for your concern." The family is doing well in Jinzhou City. ”

Zhang Li bowed his head slightly and motioned for Chen Zhengcao to sit down. After Chen Zhengcao returned to his seat, Zhang Zhang opened his mouth and asked, "Zhengcao, the sailor should still be resting now, right?" If I remember correctly. During the New Year's Day, as long as the troops of our regiment are not in battle, they have a 15-day holiday. ”

Chen Zhengcao nodded and responded, "That's right." At present, although the port of Ningyuan Zhongyou is not frozen. However, there is a lot of ice floes on the water, which is not suitable for training and combat. It happened to be the New Year's holiday. The Tuanshan Shui Division is basically on vacation. ”

Zhang Zhang nodded and said: "The way of civil and martial arts, one by one." The soldiers worked hard for a year. It is also appropriate to let them have a good New Year. ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhang pulled the topic to the Zheng family: ", you also know the situation of the Zheng family, now the Na Tian Chuan clan is a little wavering, what do you suggest?" ”

Chen Zhengcao's brows furrowed, he naturally knew a lot about the Zheng family's, after all, Zheng Zhilong was the number one opponent of the Tuanshan Landscape Division at the moment. Although the two sides did not tear their faces, as Zheng Zhilong's fleet wantonly transported arms to Jiannu, the two sides were already in a state of tension.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhengcao took a sip of warm wine, and his face flushed slightly. He opened his mouth and said: "My lord, if it was a year ago, my subordinates would definitely be full of pride, and they would directly take the fleet to fight with the Zheng family. However, after the development of the Tuanshan Shui Division for a year, the ideas of his subordinates have also changed somewhat. ”

Zhang Zhang was slightly surprised, and asked Chen Zhengcao how to deal with the internal strife of the Zheng family, but he said that the war with the Zheng family seemed to be a bit wrong.

It was only a short moment for Zhang Zhang to understand Chen Zhengcao's intentions. As the saying goes, "only those who can fight can make peace" should first base their countermeasures on whether they can confront the enemy head-on.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhang couldn't help but start to say "I am in the Qing Dynasty" again - thinking about the Queen Mother of the West, she swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger! To wage war with all nations, he is really the first person in ancient and modern times! How could this Nima believe that those "senior brothers" and "second senior brothers" of the Boxers were invulnerable, and spraying dog blood could break the "bold words" of foreigners? The Queen Mother of the West is also a human spirit, and it is no worse than Zhen Huan to kill the Queen Mother of the East by scheming in the past!

Zhang Zhang suddenly had goosebumps, the matter of "I Daqing" is too weird, and it is really not appropriate to think about it...... Soon Zhang Zhang pulled his thoughts back, smiled and said to Chen Zhengcao: "Hmm, you continue." ”

Chen Zhengcao nodded, took a sip of wine, then took a piece of snack, chewed it and swallowed it slowly, and then said: "Presumably adults should know that naval warfare does not have so many strategies as land warfare. It is a common thing in land warfare to defeat the strong with the weak and to have more enemies with fewer enemies. However, naval warfare is not the case, although subordinates dare not say that naval battles must be the victory of the strong over the weak, but whoever has more ships and more artillery will have a far greater advantage than the number of troops on land. ”

Zhang Zhang bowed slightly, it seems that Chen Zhengcao has been in charge of the Tuanshan Water Division in the past two years, although he has not fought any big battles, but his level has indeed improved a lot.

Chen Zhengcao is not wrong at all. Land battles from the Battle of Julu at the end of the Qin Dynasty to the Battle of Guandu of Cao Yuan, from the Battle of Chibi of Cao Sun to the Battle of Weishui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, examples of winning more with less abound—well, by the way, what does the Battle of Chibi have to do with Liu Daer and Zhuge Shenshumu, that is the military exploits of the beautiful Zhou Lang.
