After eating, each went his own way.

Wang Wei wanted to walk with this new sturdy friend, but he didn't give face.

Since the announcement of the imperial decree, there have been many more people on the road to Ningbo, and many of them do not seem so honest. Shaoxing Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture each dispatched government troops to patrol to maintain security in the territory.

Zhoushan Island was guarded by soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the imperial court divided Shuangyu Island, the center of the Ming Dynasty's smuggling and maritime trade during the Jiajing period, and used it as a freight center. The Ming Dynasty's ship division was set up on it. Yang Zhigao has not been at sea since he was in charge of the Ship Division. He had a wide range of contacts in Ningshao, and had dealings with many maritime merchants, and there was an endless stream of people who came to him to inquire about the news.

Daming is a personal society, so no matter how good the policy, there are always people who are close to the water and get the moon first.

Those who have a way can get the ship guide to go to sea first, and those who have no way can only wait for the shipowners to recruit people. As soon as this order was issued, Zhehai immediately lost his Haikou, no matter how big the sin was, once he got in touch with Yang Zhigao, he immediately turned into a maritime businessman.

At the moment, the most prosperous thing is the shipbuilding business, and there are long queues of high-rollers who come to order ships. But ships are not built in a few days, especially those that need to go to sea.

Zhai Zhe wandered around Ningbo for a few days, where countless strangers were waiting to go to sea every day.

Zhehai is now mixed with fish and dragons, overcrowded, and many people want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. This is inevitable, and when there is more blood, order is established. It is gold that will always be light, and the Jin Wangfu needs to select a few people from it to support, which is exactly the pressure on Yang Zhigao.

Three days later, Yang Zhigao, the owner of Shuangyu Island, hurried to Ningbo.

Subsequently, Wang Wei, a businessman from Huizhou, approached Yang Zhigao. He mortgaged all the fields and ancestral houses of his family, and also borrowed 10,000 taels of silver from the money bank of Asahi Shengchang. His uncle Wang Yuan was a wealthy merchant in Huizhou Prefecture, and he once provided grain and grass for Zhai Zhe when he attacked Huizhou City, and vouched for him.

To his ecstasy, Yang Zhigao promised to find him two three-masted ships.

It is not uncommon to have money, after the ban on Zhehai was opened, countless silver coins poured here, and now there is money that can't buy a boat. With Yang Zhigao's help, he can take a step ahead of others.

After Wang Wei finished his own business, he ordered his clan to summon sailors and fire chiefs in Ningbo, and on the other hand, he wanted to find Zhang Zhen, who he had never seen in Ningbo again. The six people in that group were all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they would not be buried wherever they went, but to his surprise, he would never see those people again.

Ningbo General Military Office.

Every grass and tree here is very familiar to Zhai Zhe.

After Meng Kang succeeded as the commander-in-chief of Ningbo, he chose another place to live, sealed the place where Zhai Zhe once lived, and had his own soldiers clean it every day to keep it as it was. A rude person would never have thought of such meticulousness. Meng Kang led his troops in Jinhua to assist Zhang Huangyan in the confrontation with Zheng's soldiers and horses, and the deputy general Li Ling, who was from Dongyang, stayed behind in Ningshao.

Yang Zhigao walked around the beach with Zhai Zhe, and at the same time reported his recent actions.

Zhai Zhe just listened.

Yang Zhigao is serious and meticulous, but he is too upright, such a person is at ease, and he is in charge of the ship department, Zhai Zhe has only one worry - he can't let go of his hands and feet.

After listening to him, Zhai Zhe couldn't find fault.

He pointed to the east and asked, "What is that place over there?" ”

"Wakoku"

"What about after the Wa Kingdom?"

Yang Zhigao couldn't answer.

Zhai Zhe pointed to the south again and asked, "What is that place over there?" ”

"Nanyang"

"What about after the South Seas?"

Yang Zhigao was silent.

"Xifan has been in Daming for a long time, has anyone in Daming been to Xifan?"

"I've heard of it, but there are only a few people"

"Don't just keep your eyes on Japan, my purpose is not limited to the Zheng family."

The top of Yang Zhigao's head was like a big mountain, and the sweat on his back came out.

"This year, I only set up a ship division in Ningbo, and in two years, maybe Songjiang or even Nanzhili will also have it, your steps are too small."

Yang Zhigao recounted the difficulties: "Ningshao sea trade has been intermittent, and there are only a few that can build sea ships, which is not as good as Guangdong and Fujian."

Zhai Zhe side, said: "This is your business"

It turned out that the chief officer of the ship department was not so easy to be, and Yang Zhigao was raised.

"This time, I brought you a staff member, named Dong Ning, who was also from Ningbo, and may be able to give you an idea once in a while."

Yang Zhigao couldn't guess King Jin's thoughts.

"My request is that the Ningshao Ship Division should at least let the Zheng clan no longer get involved in the Zhejiang Sea within two years, and three or five years later, when I want to go on the Northern Expedition, there can be a sailor who can go to Beijing and Liaodong."

It must have been a large fleet, and it would be necessary to survey the route to the north in advance and set up supply points.

Yang Zhigao woke up like a dream.

Dong Ning is a showman, in his forties, and looks older than his actual age. Yang Zhigao saw that he was not such a difficult person, and his mind was a little calmer.

There are more talents in the Jin Palace, and there are more people than Jinshi. It's not that Xiucai is better than lifting people or jinshi, but the vision of lifting people or jinshi is too high, and the Jin Wangfu is too small in their eyes to accommodate so many big Buddhas

Zhai Zhe stayed in Ningbo for a day and left quietly.

Hu Guanghou, Zhu Zhanyun and the Liu family were able to buy all kinds of firearms from Xifan to imitate and improve them. As long as someone buys it, the shipbuilding industry will not be silent for too long. Da Ming has silver, and he has seen many merchants in Jin who have earned silver and buried them in the cellar, which is really a pity.

Along Ningbo to the west, there are all mountain roads,

The mountains in the mountains are blooming red, and the flowers are blooming.

Six people came out, leaving one person in Ningbo, and when they left, they became a group of people. Zhang Ling, the deputy general of Ning Shao, personally led 500 soldiers to escort him to Jinhua.

Zhai Zhe did not come to Ningbo specifically on this trip, but to meet Zheng Zhilong in Jinhua City.

Zheng Zhilong is a talent, the only pity is that his appetite is too small, but this is Zhai Zhe's luck. His son was ambitious, but he was too impatient. But just in case, Zhai Zhe would never let Zheng Sen go back to Fujian.

Zheng Zhilong did not dare to come to Nanjing, so he asked Zheng Cai to bring back a letter to Zhai Zhe, with a very humble tone, and implored the king of Jin to go south to meet. At the same time, he went to the imperial court, supported the government's handling of the assassination case, and said that he would pay the taxes of Fujian for nearly three years to Nanjing. This is the third local twist after the assassination case, after Jiangxi and Huguang, Zheng Zhilong is the second person in the Ming Dynasty, and his influence is far-reaching.

After Datong City was breached, Zhai Zhe also needed to maintain a relatively friendly relationship with Zheng Zhilong, so he took over the olive branch extended by Zheng Zhilong.

But the rift has been created, and there is no going back to the beginning.

Meng Kang received a message last night and led the army to meet Zhai Zhe at the Dongyang Territory.

Zhang Ling escorted the King of Jin into Jinhua City, Zhang Huangyan greeted him outside the East City Gate, and Meng Kang returned to the barracks to continue to arm

"Meet the King of Jin"

This is after the Battle of Huizhou, Zhai Zheci met Zhang Huangyan. The young man has become old, and he has been promoted from the prefect of Huizhou to the governor of Zhejiang, but he has not really fulfilled his duties. But Zhai Zhe knew that he had been friends with Zhang Mingzhen. Zhang Huangyan has long hair and a graceful demeanor.

Zhai Zhe lowered his head to look at him and replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but the style of Cangshui is still the same."

This is commensurate with the status of friends.

Zhang Huangyan respectfully bowed again, and said: "King Shenwei of Jin, last year took Huguang, every time Cangshui heard the good news, he couldn't wait to lead the horse and pedal, and the blade was clear."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say" Zhai Zhe laughed, turned over and dismounted, and walked into Jinhua City with Zhang Huangyan's shoulder.

He has never regarded Zhang Huangyan as a confidant, but he has always been very relieved of Zhang Huangyan. Zhang Huangyan can make the wealthy merchants, rebels, bandits and gentry in Huizhou obedient, he must be a person who knows how to compromise. A person who will compromise will not resolutely oppose him, even if he is dissatisfied with him.

The two went back to the palace and sat down, Zhang Huangyan knew why Zhai Zhe came, he thought about it along the way, and couldn't help but persuade: "Lord, now that the Qing Dynasty has not been destroyed, the Ming Dynasty should concentrate on the north, the prince of Yanping has indeed committed a capital crime, the prince is magnanimous, and it is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to forgive him from dying." ”

What he said was very vague, but he was actually persuading Zhai Zhe not to persecute Zheng Zhilong too much. The assassination was related to Zhai Zhe's own safety, and even Liu Suifeng did not dare to speak casually in this matter, Zhang Huangyan was the first person to advise Zhai Zhe.

Zhai Zhe didn't show the slightest displeasure, and said with a smile: "Why does Cangshui think I came to Jinhua?" ”

"It's the water that is abrupt" Zhang Huangyan walked out and gave another salute.

He was very conflicted about Zhai Zhe's thoughts, both admiration for the five-body throw to the ground, and worry that he would usurp the throne. But until the moment when the matter was irreparable, he could only cover his ears and steal the bell from his governor of Zhejiang.

Zhai Zhe waved his hand and ordered him to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "With Cangshui in Zhejiang, I can rest assured that I can go north."

When the banner of King Jin was raised at the head of Jinhua City, Zheng Zhilong learned that Zhai Zhe had arrived in Jin unconsciously

The two were wary, and the messenger went back and forth, and agreed to meet in a Nanshan town thirty miles away from Jinhua City the next day, and each of them would only bring two hundred soldiers.

Two days later, Meng Kang's carefully selected strong men from the army escorted the King of Jin out of the city to meet Zheng Zhilong.

Before leaving, Meng Kang made a bitter face and persuaded: "Zheng Zhilong counts a ball, as long as the prince gives an order, the last general will capture him, why should the prince take the risk"

Zhai Zhe scolded with a smile: "You have this ability, Zheng Zhilong knows it, and he must not dare to act rashly."

"I'm afraid he can't see people."

Zhai Zhe tapped his helmet with a horsewhip and said with a smile: "Your mouth is always leaking."

Meng Kang touched his head and stepped aside with a smile.

Zheng Zhilong is indeed not a ball. When the soldiers and horses left Jinhua City, Zhai Zhe put away his smile and got along with Meng Kang, always very happy. This is Meng Kang's ability, and it is also the fate of the two.

Da Ming's soldiers and horses were only confronting each other in secret, and there was no tension from the outside. Zheng's soldiers and horses were stationed in Quzhou Mansion, but they didn't dare to be disrespectful to the imperial court.

There are households and merchants in Nanshan Town, and there are fewer people than two months ago, but it is still very lively.

When the cavalry of the King of Jin arrived outside Nanshan Town, Zheng Zhilong was already waiting there.
