Hong Lei sat straight in front of Zheng Kezang, although his face was calm, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, for no other reason, he really didn't know what Zheng Kezhang summoned him today. (The fastest update speed is in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) It seems embarrassing to say, as the prime minister, he doesn't even know what the monarch is looking for him, but Zheng Kezhang is now in power, although he doesn't say everything, but the status of the four people in the current political hall is still quite embarrassing.
Although under Zheng Kezang's intentions, the four of them planned the scope of their responsibilities early on, among which Hong Lei took charge of the overall situation in the position of prime minister and supervised the departments of salt and iron, campland, taxation, branch, and domain, Ke Ping was responsible for the inspection, trial, general administration, understatement, and ritual departments as the deputy minister, Yang Ying was in charge of the five departments of the police, prison, Baoquan, school, and camp, and Zheng Bin supervised the administrative affairs of the trial and litigation department and the two pacification departments of the six local counties, as well as the military affairs, armaments, and trade departments that he was nominally responsible for but was personally led by Zheng Kezang. But Zheng Kezhang is accustomed to bypassing the auxiliary ministers and dealing directly with various departments, which makes Hong Lei and others inevitably complain.
"Hong Qing, there is one thing I want to inform you in advance." Zheng Kezang's expression was stern and he reported to Hong Lei, who was suffering from gains and losses. "Now the war in Qiongzhou, Qing should also know." Zheng Kezhang paused. "Lone thinks that the Qing captives will never stop there, and the military academy also predicts that as long as the rebellion of the rest of Shang Zhixin is calmed down, the Qing captives who have free up their hands will definitely mobilize troops to fight Qiong again, so Lone is ready to transfer three more divisions over." Even if it is an expanded Zuo Longxiang division, Zheng Jun is only a division of seven divisions, and now he has to invest six at once in Qiongzhou, no wonder Hong Lei is a little dumbfounded, but he is even more shocked behind. "This is almost all the belongings of this domain, and Gu Po is a little relieved, so Gu is ready to go to Qiongzhou to supervise the war in person, and Dongning will temporarily ask the Qing family."
Obtaining the status of Chen Yonghua in the past certainly shows his current identity, but Zheng Kezang's desire to cross the sea expedition still makes Hong Lei frightened, how long has the battle of Dongning passed, Zheng Kezang's expedition will not make the Qing army in Fujian ready to move, as soon as he thought of this, Hong Lei immediately admonished: "Lord, as soon as the sixth division goes to Dongning, it is empty, in case the Qing army in Fujian Province hears the news and returns, there are no soldiers in the domain to resist, what should I do, please be cautious." ”
"Hong Qing rest assured, first of all, Gu will not reproduce the scene when his father fought for six years and caused Dongning to be scarce."
Zheng Kezang's idea was to rely on the grain and rice of Qiongzhou to eliminate the main force of the Qing army in the shortest possible time, so as to ensure the necessary time to plunder the population of Qiongzhou.
"If it's fast, you'll be able to come back before the end of the year, and if it's slow, it's only before the wind season next year." The so-called return to Taiwan before the end of the year is obviously just a reassuring statement, but returning before the wind period next year is Zheng Kezang's real intention. "As for whether the Fujian Qingyu will take the opportunity to attack Dongning again." Zheng Kezhang sneered. "Let's not talk about whether the Qing army has the courage to do so, there are so many ships, even if they have both, there are two main forces of Taijiang and Dagou left behind, and I want to see how the main force of the Qing army flew across the sea."
Hong Lei opened his mouth and stammered, if he wanted to persuade him again, but Zheng Kezhang obviously had made up his mind, and most of his suggestions would disobey Zheng Kezang's thoughts, but if he didn't admonish him, wouldn't he become the prime minister of the Three Decrees, so Hong Lei hesitated for a long time
However, Hong Lei is not good at military affairs after all, and he has no confidence to fight with Zheng Kezang, so after thinking about it, he finally cooperated: "Since the lord has a comprehensive arrangement, the minister does not dare to disobey, but please also ask the lord to remember Dongning, and you must keep your promise." ”
"It should be so," Zheng Kezhang knew Hong Lei's embarrassment, but he just said hello today, and he didn't leave so fast, but he still had to explain what he should explain. "Hong Qing, Lone gives you full power, if Liu Guoxuan has any changes, Qing can cut it first!"
Hong Lei was startled, and then looked at Zheng Kezang, but found that his face was solemn and did not seem to be joking, and immediately felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly leaned over and responded: "The minister understands, the minister must be optimistic about Dongning for the Lord, please rest assured." ”
Zheng Kezhang suddenly smiled and said: "Lone knows, with Hong Qing here, Lone has no worries."
At the end of October, the northern country is already frozen for thousands of miles, but in the tropical sea at 5°N, the weather is still very hot.
After a tropical thunderstorm, several large fortune boats called junk boats slowly approached the shore, and when they saw the boat docking, a group of onlookers of Brunei fishermen instantly hid, and after a while, they saw a few small boats put down from the boat, and the boats carried more than a dozen samurai with knives and guns only came straight to the land.
"It's fucking hot." Lin Kun cursed in a low voice, and the salty hard Kun skin leather armor was a little unbearable on the rough skin on his body. "This place of the hell!"
"Scold a bird, no matter how hot it is, it's better than a freshwater mine." You Ying, who was in the same boat, glared at him. "Why don't you go back now?"
"Go back?" Lin Kun subconsciously shrank his neck. "Forget it, there won't be dead people here, if you really want to go back, I guess this life will be cut off there."
You Ying gave a look that you also know and then fell silent, at this time the boat had already docked, and nearly twenty men on the three rows rushed to the land like a whirlwind, searching everywhere, and sure enough, there was no hostile force. Soon, more soldiers disembarked in turn, but in an hour, more than a thousand had gathered on the shore.
"General Tao Shen, you take a hundred people to explore the road to the east, Zhang guerrilla, and you also take a hundred people to explore the road to the west," Chen Long, who was dressed as a military general of the Ming Dynasty, was assigned one by one, and according to his order, the crowd that was crowded into a pile moved. "Master You will take a hundred people to the nearest guard, and the rest of the people will organize the camp first, and then unload the things on the ship."
The big island where Chen Long now lives is called Minna, which means good port in Malay, and of course there is a theory that there is a group of immigrants from southern Fujian, China. The island is located in the middle of Bandar Seri Bega, across the sea from Sultan City, the capital of Brunei. However, although the current state of Brunei is still in good shape, the Sultan of Brunei has always taken a restrained approach to Minna Island, which is far away from the sea, and perhaps in the eyes of the Sultan, this island with a small population is not worthy of his too much attention.
"My lord," said General Tao, who had just been sent to explore the road, on the side of the chaotic construction site. "Found a local village, Lord Tao asked for instructions on what to do?"
Village? Chen Long's spirits perked up, this may be his first batch of subjects, so he hurriedly took care of it, and then hurriedly led a team of personal soldiers to rush over. When they arrived at the place, they found that the villagers had already sent representatives, and the stammering Hokkien dialect finally allowed the two sides to communicate.
"This is the territory of the Raja (Malay: Raja), strangers, please leave here at once, and we will provide you with food, water, and women." Of course, the villagers knew how powerful the Chinese pirates were, so they tried to appease these uninvited guests with some rewards, but as soon as the word woman came out, the faces of the former Qing soldiers who had been suffering for more than two years were full of hideousness.
"My lord, let's open this village!" A group of soldiers looked at Chen Long with expectant eyes, and General Tao Shen personally said to Chen Longjian. "Women, brethren haven't touched a woman for years"
Chen Long picked it up and gave Tao Shen General a slap, and after the beating, he personally negotiated with the villager representatives: "This is no longer the territory of the Anuharas, and now this is the fief of the Marquis of Labuan under the rule of the Ming Bo Ni Province. ”
Chen Long pointed to the blood-red soldiers: "Hugh blames the sword and gun without eyes, and the war is ruthless!" ”
The soldiers on the side waved their swords and guns knowingly, so frightened that the envoy's face turned pale, and after a long time, the frightened envoy cautiously asked, "What do you need from this village?" ”
"Chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are offered to some of them, which is considered this year's tax, and in addition, Benhou needs you to provide labor." Chen Long said one, and the envoy's face turned pale, but Chen Long didn't care about the other party's expression at all, and finally asked. "Send another twenty women out of the labor army, and wait for a stick of incense to give a reply, and the overtime will not fall, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!"
The envoy returned to the village with Chen Long's package of requirements, and Chen Long explained to the Tao Shen general with Wuzhi Mountain on his face: "I have just arrived, and my foothold is not stable, and I will kill lightly, and I will go out, and who will dare to work for us in the future, reclaim for us, and catch fish for us?" Is it not up to our own brothers to succeed? ”
Chen Long pointed back to the sea and said meaningfully: "Is our brother holding a knife and a gun, can we dig in the soil or expect the Zheng family to have a steady stream of supplies?" Besides, the Zheng family still needs us to watch the Taixi Hongyi on the side, if one is lost lightly, it will accumulate over time, will it be possible to supply us from Dongning again? ”
The former Qing soldiers were convinced, and many people turned their heads to each other. Time passed bit by bit, and just as Long Chen finally impatiently signaled his subordinates to sound birds to deter, a group of people slowly walked out of the village. Looking at the unarmed villagers, Chen Long had a satisfied smile on his face
"Master Hou!" Listening to the panting and moaning in the wild forest, Xia Chunming greeted Long Chen. "All the things have been unloaded, and the fleet will return tomorrow, what kind of report and family letter does Master Hou need to forward?"
"I understand below." In front of the authentic Dongning people, Chen Longkai couldn't put on the posture of the Hou Ye. "Tomorrow will be served."
"That's good," Xia Chunming nodded. "Master Hou, the next time the fleet comes again, it will be about a year later, I hope Master Hou can give priority to repairing the dock and the merchant inn." This is the most important task, why Zheng Kezhang let Chen Long go south, of course, not only to exile a number of unstable factors, but also to build a naval wharf to assist the Department of Commerce to infiltrate and deter small states in the South China Sea. "Don't make mistakes."
"Please report back to the Lord at the head of the summer boat, and the minister knows what to do"
