Zhang Zhang and Anzi talked again in the conference hall, and the two came out of the room one after the other. The captain of the guard who was waiting outside the door stepped forward, gave a military salute to Zhang Li, and asked, "My lord, where are you going next, my subordinates will arrange the guards." ”

Zhang Zhang said softly, "Hmm", and said without thinking: "Let's go to Baiyun Temple." ”

The captain of the guard answered, and immediately walked out of the courtyard to make preparations.

Baiyun Temple is a Taoist temple in Jinzhou City, covering a small area, but the incense is also very strong in previous years. It's a pity that after entering the year of the apocalypse, wars broke out in Jinzhou repeatedly, the people were not able to make a living, and the people couldn't even eat enough, so how could they have time to give incense money?

Therefore, the Baiyun Temple was abandoned, and after the first year of Chongzhen, even the few Taoist priests in the Taoist Temple fled to the Guannei in order to escape the war.

It wasn't until Zhang Zhang took charge of Jinzhou that the situation changed. In these years, the spiritual life of the common people is very scarce, needless to say when they were not full of food before, but after Zhang Zhang entered Liaodong, although the people are still living a hard life, at least there is no problem with food and clothing.

Later, Zhang Li renovated the Baiyun Temple, and invited the Xuanyang Zidao to enter the main Taoist Temple, because of this official background, the incense of the Baiyun Temple gradually flourished.

Zhang Zhang and his party came to the Baiyun Temple near the south gate of Jinzhou, and the guards were originally going to come here in advance to clear the scene - after all, the Manchu Tartars were the best at bribing traitors, maybe there were assassins lurking?

However, Zhang Zhang did not want to disturb the people, and entered the Guanzhong directly through the back door and went straight to the Vipassana.

Vipassana is a place for Taoist cultivation and cultivation. It is not open to the public, so as not to disturb the cultivation of the Taoist masters. Xuanyangzi Daoist came when he heard the tension. didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led the little Taoist priests out of the back door.

Zhang Li looked at the Xuanyang Zidao who became more and more immortal. Bowing down, he said, "Dao Leader doesn't need to be like this. After a year of farewell to the Taoist chief, I miss it very much! ”

Xuanyang Zidao is a tense elder in terms of seniority, but he does not have this title, after all, Xu Jingping's father on the face is still the late Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Xuanyangzi was moved in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and immediately returned the salute and said loudly: "Zhang Daoyou has tormented the poor Dao." ”

Zhang Zhang also knew that the identity of Xuanyangzi Daoist was embarrassing, and this "Zhang Daoyou" was called in a proper manner. Left and right. If a cultivator calls Zhang "Master Zhang", he will inevitably look a little philistine......

Zhang Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "I want to see my daughter when I go home, but my mother said that Nannan is here, and I will come over as soon as I am done." Are you with a layman? ”

Taoism is not as good as Buddhism, for example, Xuanyang Zi Dao Chang can be married, the so-called cultivation and not being born. When Xuanyangzi heard that Zhang Li was coming to see his daughter, a smile also appeared on his lips: "Exactly." Belch. True as a layman, he also cultivates in the poor road, and often brings his nannan over to play......"

Zhang Zhang was happy in his heart, but he didn't break it. Anyway, the Taoist chief of the family does not abstain from marriage, and Zhenru layman is only a layman at present. It's not a nun - well, your circle is a bit messy, don't think about it!

The Xuanyang Zi Daoist came to Vipassana with tension. Zhang Zhang finally met his daughter. Xiao Nizi is now two years old, and her "father" with a child's voice makes her laugh.

After playing with my daughter for a while. It is true that the layman took the girl back to Zhang Li's mansion first - after all, there was going to be a banquet for Zhang Li in the house at night to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the little baby would take it back to prepare one or two first.

In the wing room of the Taoist temple, only Zhang Li and his follower Anzi are left at this moment. and Xuanyangzi Dao Chang three, Anzi stood behind Zhang Li, and Zhang Zhang and Xuanyangzi sat side by side.

Zhang Zhang picked up the teacup on the table in front of him, and after taking a sip of tea, he asked Xuanyangzi: "Dao Chief, I have already read Jingping's letter, then Zheng Sen, the eldest young master of the Zheng family, intends to take refuge in my Tuanshan Fort, what is the situation now?" ”

As soon as Xuanyangzi heard Zhang Li talk about this, he immediately sat upright, not daring to be careless. He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The matter of the Zheng family, Jingping has already introduced it to you in detail, and there is no need to say anything about Poor Dao. Originally, Zheng Sen's mother, Tian Chuan, hoped that our group of landscape masters would support them, but now you want Zheng Sen to come to us with a fleet, and they have some concerns! ”

Zhang Li bowed slightly, understanding the current situation of the Tagawa clan. It's a tricky thing -- it's not easy!

After more than two years of development, the scale of the Tuanshan Water Division is no longer small. Just last year, Ningyuan Zhongyou Institute built a new shipyard, called Tuanshan Shipyard, and recruited many skilled craftsmen, and now Tuanshan Shipyard is able to build about 400 small gunboats.

Of course, shipbuilding is not as good as building guns and cannons, and it is impossible to build any giant ships in just one year, and the current capacity of the Tuanshan Shipyard can only build small gunboats. On the one hand, Zhang Li tried every means to dig the corners of the Daming Naval Divisions in various places and buy their big ships, and on the other hand, Song Yingxing also organized manpower to develop and demonstrate, striving to build a large ship with thousands of materials as soon as possible.

However, this is bound to be a relatively long process, and there is no possibility of quick success. At present, there are more than 300 warships of the regimental landscape division, mainly small warships of about 400 materials.

Although the current combat power of the Tuanshan Water Division is less than 20% of the Zheng family, the Zheng family has a great business and controls the huge trade circle of the East and South Seas, and it may not be easy to gather all the warships. Therefore, although there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, the Tuanshan Shui Division is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

Zheng Sen's mother, Tian Chuan, seems to just want to use the power of Tuanshan Water Master to help her son ascend to the throne, that's all.

Zhang Li was silent, this thing is normal. People are always selfish, thinking about annexing the Zheng family's fleet, and Zheng Sen's mother, Tagawa, is just thinking about "borrowing" her own power in vain.

There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests.

The matter of the Zheng family's infighting is definitely an opportunity, but how to take advantage of this opportunity now?

Zhang Li thought about it for a while, and decided to consult with Chen Zhengcao, the commander of the Tuanshan Water Division, after all, he knew more about the affairs of the Water Division. As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Zhang opened his mouth and said to Xuanyangzi: "Dao Chief, Jingping wrote last time that she wanted to help me do this and come back-well, in fact, I know in my heart that she is probably still a little competitive......"

Xuanyang Zidao Chang sighed slightly, but he didn't answer this conversation. Zhang Li's private affairs, what can you say from the standpoint of Xuanyangzi Daoist?

Zhang Zhang also realized this situation, and continued: "I wrote to her last time to ask her to come back, but she has not heard back, and I guess I don't want Ruochen to look down on her. She has not been with Ruochen for a short time, and she should know very well what kind of person Ruochen is. (To be continued.) )
