Chapter 437: Sent to the door
British Gong Zhang Zhi said with some indignation: "The imperial court can mobilize troops to go to Shandong to suppress thieves, that is, the virtuous son-in-law and Wu Sangui." That Wu Sangui opened his mouth to ask for two million taels of silver, and immediately scared the emperor away. So the emperor asked the virtuous son-in-law to send troops, but he didn't want to pay for the silver! ”
Zhang Zhang bowed slightly, and said lightly: "Shandong must be saved, and it must be included in the sphere of influence of the Tuanshan Army, since Chongzhen has a holy decree, it is a famous teacher." ”
After a pause, Zhang Zhang continued: "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? I can't get the money from them now, but I have a crush on some things from Tianjin Wei......"
"Tianjin Wei? What are the good things about Tianjin Wei? The British Duke was a little puzzled and blurted out. Thinking that the Tianjin guards are only two or three thousand people, and their combat effectiveness is extremely poor, how can they see the tension?
Zhang Li's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "The south of the Daming Naval Division is far better than the north, but the north is not completely without a naval division, for example, the Tianjin Naval Division, I heard that there are fifty or sixty warships, and there are more than 100 Dafu ships that can transport troops. Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, we can use it if we take it over and repair it. Well, let's just say that the Liaodong blizzard, the troops cannot be withdrawn, and the Tianjin Navy Division must transport the troops south. ”
Zhang Zhiji was taken aback, it turned out that the son-in-law was playing this abacus!
It was only a short moment, Zhang Zhiji thought of One Piece, ah, no, all the benefits of the Maritime King, and suddenly shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "That's how it should be." ”
Obviously, as long as the ships of the Tianjin Navy Division come to Liaodong, they can't go back or not, then they can't have the final say.
……
Big Buddha Temple, Nan'an Prefecture, Fujian.
This is a typical Jiangnan Buddhist temple, covering a small area, but it is in the winding path of Nanshan Mountain. There is a scripture pavilion in the backyard of the Great Buddha Temple. It is not usually open to pilgrims.
At this moment, the ladder in the attic of the Scripture Pavilion has been removed. On the second floor of the attic, Xu Jingping was looking at the person in front of her with a solemn face.
A young woman with two children fell to her knees. Crying: "I hope Miss Xu will save my mother and son!" ”
The young woman's voice was slightly stiff, and she didn't seem to be Chinese.
Xu Jingping sighed, helped the young woman and the two children beside her up, frowned, and said, "Mrs. Tian Chuan, why are you doing this?" How did I save your mother and son? ”
It turned out that the young woman was Zheng Zhilong's wife, the Tagawa clan from Japan.
Tagawa's body shook violently, and he cried even more sadly: "Miss Xu, Xiao Ichiro has already found out. Your husband is none other than the Liaodong Governor Zhang Li, who holds the most elite soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty. Only your husband can save our mother and son. ”
Xu Jingping glanced at the black-clothed warrior at the top of the stairs, and her brows furrowed even tighter. Presumably, this is called Koichiro, the so-called Oriental ninja, right?
Xu Jingping grew up beside Xu Guangqi since she was a child, so among Zhang Li's confidantes, she is the one who knows the most about Eastern and Western things.
"Miss Xu didn't promise our mother and son, and we will kneel here today. Never go downstairs! Tagawa's face was resolute, and his tears kept on like beads with broken threads.
The two children around him were boys, one was about ten years old and the other was only six or seven years old. The older child is already sensible. cried with her mother, but the younger one looked at Xu Jingping with wide eyes in confusion and ignorance.
Xu Jingping sighed. After all, he felt unbearable, so he bowed his head and said, "I promise you that it is." Get up and speak! ”
Tagawa was overjoyed and knocked his head three more times. Only then did he get up from the ground with the two children.
It turned out that the eldest son of the Tagawa clan was called Zheng Jing, that is, the later famous national surname Zheng Chenggong, and the second son was called Tagawa Nanazaemon, also known as Tagawa Jiro Zue. Zheng Zhilong's second aunt, Mrs. Tailiu, colluded with Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhihu to poison the mother and son, and the news was found out by Takeda Koichiro, a ninja beside the Tagawa clan, so she came to Xu Jingping for help.
Tian Chuan told Zheng Zhilong about this as soon as possible, but unfortunately Zheng Zhilong didn't believe Tian Chuan at all, but said that she framed Liu......
Xu Jingping listened to the ins and outs of the future, and soon understood what was going on - isn't this the so-called "seizing the heir"? The Zheng family is rich and rivals the country, and there are too many people who have hundreds of millions of dollars of family property......
Xu Jingping suddenly remembered the bridge in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", how similar is the current predicament of Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, and Tian Chuan's family?
Xu Jingping smiled slightly, glanced at the Tian Chuan clan, and asked, "Under the command of Zheng Dudu, how many forces are willing to support the eldest prince?" ”
Tian Chuan thought for a long time before he said with some hesitation: "The Zheng family's fleet is mainly dispatched by the master alone. If you say that the people who are friends with my mother and son, there are about 20%. ”
Xu Jingping nodded, knowing that the Tagawa clan's maiden family was Japan, and it would be good to have two adults who had a good relationship with them, presumably the Liu clan's side was even more powerful. However, if her husband supports Tagawa, it will be very different.
As for how Zhang Zhang uses the Zheng family, that's something he thinks about......
Thinking of this, Xu Jingping said to Tian Chuan: "You arrange a boat, just say that you will go to Japan to visit relatives, and then we will go to Liao, and I will take you to see my husband." ”
Tian Chuan was overjoyed, and replied in a loud voice: "This is the best, there is Miss Lao Xu." ”
……
Sometimes I have to admit that some people do have an innate talent for certain things.
Zhang Zhang was surprised to find that Chen Zhengcao was quite proficient in the affairs of ships. When Chen Zhengcao had not yet met Zhang Li, he was very interested in the Three Treasures eunuch going to the West since he was a child, so he studied a lot of maritime books.
Even during the interval between his imperial examinations, he once went to Fujian and Zhejiang, where he stayed for more than a year, ate and lived with the captains and sailors of the ocean-going fleet, and learned a lot about ships.
It's just that as he grew older, Chen Zhengcao had to take the imperial examination as his main business, and buried his hobby of sailing deep in his heart until he came to Tuanshan Fort.
The Tuanshan Army and Army system is basically a turnip and a pit, and it is not easy to get promoted in a short period of time. However, the Ningyuan Water Division, which has now been renamed the Tuanshan Water Division, was different, and there was a great lack of good commanders here.
After Chen Zhengcao had a long talk with Zhang Li, Zhang Zhang officially appointed him as the trainee commander of the regimental landscape division. Of course, Chen Zhengcao is assisted by several experienced captains.
Chen Zhengcao also knew his own shortcomings in practice, so he worked harder to learn the knowledge of navigation and naval warfare, and after a period of training, his prestige among the Tuanshan Shui Division seemed to have been slowly established.
Of course, just like Chen Zhengcao, the Tuanshan Landscape Master is also an emerging force, and it still lacks training...... (To be continued.) )
