Xiong Guikang was a little short-sighted and couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, but the color of the military attaché's robe was also clearly distinguished, so he reported back: "It should be the newly shipwed Shence Army Ma Qianzong, but he should be on the [Yunzi 137]." ”

Wei Qian explained for the other party: "His Royal Highness was still bedridden when Mr. Ma Qian got on the ship, and it is estimated that he just heard that His Royal Highness was in good shape on the deck to breathe the air, so he rushed over from the [Yunzi 137] to meet him." ”

"The Divine Army?" Zheng Anxi also has the rank of second-class lieutenant, so when he heard that the other party was the commander of the Shence Legion who belonged to him, he immediately came to the spirit and ordered in a hurry. "Please come and meet you."

After a while, the fierce military attache with a beard on his face saluted Zheng Anxi with a flattering attitude that made people stunned: "Ma Wenlong, the commander of the [Pingshun Hai] Regiment of the Xiaguan Shence Army, has seen the Chitose Lord. ”

Zheng Anxi saw that this person looked groveling, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden sudden, but he was a child of the royal family, and his kung fu was still very good on the surface, so he took the other party's hand and said kindly: "Lone is also a martial arts student, according to the rules of the army, you have to call the adult a senior, and in the future, Lone will need to rely on the protection of the adult, so the adult does not have to be like this." ”

Ma Wenlong was supported by Zheng Anxi, and his bones seemed to be crispy: "The humble position is now transferred under the command of the grandfather, and he is the subordinate of the grandfather, how can he put the seniority in the army, this is humble and humble, and the humble position is still understood." ”

Zheng Anxi clearly saw the expressions of Xiong and Wei who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, but he was depressed in his heart, and he didn't want to let the master Qianzong who had posted it immediately retreat, after all, for a long time in the future, Zheng Anxi, who was in the abbot 6 Zhaoji, would be inseparable from the protection of the [Pingshunhai] regiment, so he could only turn a blind eye to Ma Qianzong's attitude, and deliberately found the topic and asked: "Master Ma, how many people are in the [Pingshunhai] regiment now?" ”

"Our regiment has an establishment of 650 people, divided into five foot posts, one baggage post, one artillery team and one regimental commander." Speaking of business, Mr. Ma Qian suddenly changed from a dirty official who could only slap horses to a real professional, which made Zheng Anxi and the other three who had a bad impression of him take a look at him. "Each sentry has a team of infantry men and two teams of white soldiers, and the baggage posts are not armed, so the whole regiment has a total of one hundred and fifty infantry guns, and three quarter-guns." But these are just paper numbers. "During the battle in Laos, our regiment lost a total of one hundred and three people, and another two hundred and fifteen were wounded and sick."

Hearing that almost half of them were injured and killed, Zheng Anxi couldn't help but open his mouth wide, he was born in martial arts, but after all, he had not experienced the war, so he was a little shaken for a while, and at this time, he listened to Ma Qianzong continue: "After the war, after resting and recuperating, one hundred and thirty-seven of the wounded and sick have returned to the team, and thirty-seven Lao soldiers, seventeen Annan soldiers, forty-four Siamese soldiers, and eighteen Zhenla soldiers have been replenished on the spot, but thirty-one people have recently contracted the disease, so the actual number of this regiment is 663 people, including 109 wounded and sick. In addition, the regiment also hired 86 Vietnamese men and 67 prostitutes in the military camp on a temporary basis??????"

Zheng Anxi frowned: "Are the temporarily hired Vietnamese husbands and camp prostitutes willing to go to the abbot with Lone?" ”

Ma Wenlong, who finished talking about business, changed his face again and responded: "Why do they want to, as long as the grandfather says a word, just tie them to the boat, the sea is vast, and I'm afraid they won't be able to escape." ”

Xiong Guikang is obviously not optimistic about Ma Wenlong's kidnapping: "I'm afraid that the Vietnamese side will find out, and it's not good to make noise about it." ”

Ma Wenlong pursed his lips disapplausively: "There are only fewer civilians, and the Ruan family will only ask the court when they are overwhelmed." ”

Zheng Anxi thought about it, and also felt that what Ma Wenlong said made sense: "The rebellion in Laos, Gu also heard that many people died in Vietnam, and the statistics were not clear for a while. I'm afraid that after taking it away, it will affect the lives of the little family, and it will be a crime. ”

"Grandpa has a good heart, but don't worry about it." Ma Wenlong grinned in response. "Vietnam has been fighting wars for so many years, and the men who died a few years ago are called more, have those orphans and widows come back to life? Vietnam and Laos have a tradition of women being in charge of the house, and they can't starve to death if they are cooked here several times a year. ”

Zheng Anxi sighed, and suddenly thought of something: "So Annan and Vietnam are more women than men." ”

Wei Qian immediately understood what Zheng Anxi was thinking, yes, although Zheng Anxi had thousands of immigrants, the proportion of men and women among them was too disparity, which was not conducive to the stability of the immigrants, so for the purpose of sharing worries for the Lord, after Ma Wenlong gave a clear answer, Wei Qian asked Ying: "Xia Guan is willing to go to Annan and Vietnam to buy a group of women for his grandfather." ”

Zheng Anxi shook his head: "Although buying women is a big deal, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and I am afraid that I will delay the trip." ”

Wei Qian said: "Grandpa just go first, after the lower official buys the woman, he will follow the next boat to the south, so that there will be no mistakes, and the lower official will not be unable to find a route." ”

Zheng Anxi was moved, but after pondering for a while, he still rejected Wei Qian's suggestion: "It's okay to buy someone, and it's okay to follow the next boat group to the south, but after arriving at the abbot, there are a lot of things, and you can't do without Master Wei, so it's better to find someone else to do it." ”

Xiong Guikang smiled secretly in his heart when he saw Zheng Anxi's naïve means of entrapment, but he was an assistant sent to Zheng Anxi by the Huaxia Imperial Court, and sooner or later he would have to return to the court, so he was not jealous of this Zheng Anxi's real henchman, but beat the side drum and said: "What the grandfather said is extremely true, the abbot's colonization is a major matter, and it is necessary to rely on the talent of Lord Wei, as for the purchase of women, let the people below handle it." ”

Zheng Anxi and Xiong Guikang both said so, and Wei Qian was not easy to object, but he proposed to send people to handle it as much as possible, so as not to understand it later, and try to rob Zheng Anxi of people, as a result, the price of goods was raised and the supply of goods decreased.

Zheng Anxi naturally summoned people to explain the matter, and while the guards of the public mansion went to call people, Zheng Anxi asked Ma Wenlong again: "How long will it take for those injured and sick soldiers to heal and return to the camp?" ”

"I'm afraid that even if I recover from my injuries, I won't be able to return to the camp to fight." Ma Wenlong then pleaded. "Forgive the humble and bold words, the Shence army is all for the land to fight with this dynasty, although the wounded and sick soldiers will be placed by the imperial court, but where they are placed is actually the same, it is better to ask the grandfather to give the field directly after the abbot."

Zheng Anxi laughed: "This thing is easy to do, there is a shortage of manpower on the lonely side, and you can't join the army, so it's okay to supervise the slaves." ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Anxi couldn't help asking: "Master Ma, in this way, isn't there a shortage of the [Pingshunhai] regiment?" ”

Ma Wenlong replied: "It can be recruited along the way, but the combat strength of the Nanyang natives is quite weak, it is better to wait for the imperial court to recruit ronins from the Wa Kingdom, fortunately, the abbot does not have a large number of natives and fierce beasts, and more than 500 people are enough at the moment." ”

"That's just as well." Although the [Binh Thuan Hai] regiment was dispatched by Zheng Anxi, the cost of maintenance expenses, gunpowder and other materials also fell on Zheng Anxi's head, and it was always good to reduce some of the expenses. "Then please ask Master Ma to write to the Ministry of War." As he was talking, the public counselor who was about to be sent to Vietnam to buy women came over, and Zheng Anxi deliberately drank the heirs of Sichuan's face-changing lineage. "Master Ma, I have just recovered from my illness for a long time, and the wind blowing is already a little uncomfortable."

Ma Wenlong replied knowingly: "Grandpa's health is important, and there is nothing to do, so I will retire??????"

When Zheng Anxi, Zheng Anche, Zheng Anfeng and other princes, Zheng Anxuan, Zheng Anqi and other Zheng clan relatives were floating on the ocean, and sailed towards their future homeland with the mood of gain and loss, the battle report of the Battle of Lake Malawi and the news of the Sulu people's sue for peace reached Wuchang one after another. What made the Sulu side useless was that the Luzon camp did not dare to conceal the news of the defeat, so the news of the expansion of the war while the Sulu people sued for peace made the Chinese court extremely angry.

"We must not let this clown succeed." Ma Ying, the envoy of the Southern Privy Council, who was in charge of the naval division and the military affairs of the southern capitals, was the initiator and responsible for the Sulu war, and his anger at this time was mostly based on the shame of defeat, so he gritted his teeth. "The battle of Sulu, the key is that there are too few soldiers, as long as the imperial court transfers another 20,000 or 30,000 people over, it will definitely be able to wipe out the country."

"But Sulu has sued for peace." At the same time, Lu Weijun, who planned the Sulu War, also returned to Wuchang, but in his opinion, the question now is not just whether to completely destroy Sulu, but whether the destruction of Sulu will make the lips and teeth of the foreign vassals of Nanyang cold. "Aggressive, I'm afraid it will shake the loyalty of the foreign vassal to the imperial court."

"Could it be that the imperial court will let Sulu's provocation go unchecked?" Ma Ying couldn't hear it, and felt that Lu Weijun wanted to get rid of it, so he immediately sneered. "So that the imperial court has prestige in the eyes of the foreign vassals? Are the foreign vassals loyal to the imperial court? Lord Lu, this dynasty is not the former Ming Dynasty and the former Song Dynasty, and you have to spend money to buy peace with foreign countries. ”

"Money? This year's budget has already been spent, and next year's budget has already been prepared, and it cannot be changed. Cai Tong, the minister of the Duzhi Yamen Association, questioned his old classmate. There is no money, what to use to mobilize twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses. ”

Ma Ying turned his head to look at Chen Dunwen, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Lord Chen, what about the pre-stored war expenses of the Ministry of War?" ”

In Ma Ying's opinion, the Ministry of War got tens of millions of guan in the process of selling the Taiping Iron Smelting Yard, and it was a drop in the bucket to take out one or two million for the Sulu war, but Chen Dunwen, the secretary of the military department, did not think so, in his opinion, the sailors had rowed nearly 20 million guan for the construction of new ships and the establishment of town guard mansions in Yizhou, Abbot and other places, and if he wanted to take the money, he would not be able to balance the dissatisfaction of the 6th Division.

Therefore, Chen Dunwen flatly refused: "The pre-deposited war funds cannot be used in the direction of Sulu." ”

Of course, blindly refusing can't convince the public, so Chen Dunwen casually found a reason: "The new king of Haixi County, Luo Buzang Danjin, is quite opposed, Qinghai is unstable, and there may be a big war in the northwest at any time, so not a penny can be withdrawn." ”

Compared with Sulu, which is far away in the ocean, the Qinghai issue has a bearing on the security of the three northwestern provinces of China, and can then cause a chain reaction in Tibet, Zhunger, and other places, so it is normal for the military department to make some trade-offs.

"Moreover, there is no complete truce between the imperial court in the north and Oros, and the expenditure of grain and military funds must also be prepared and retained." Seeing Ma Ying's dissatisfied face, Chen Dunwen turned around and commanded an army. "The left needs to use money, and the right also needs money, and no matter how much savings the military department has, it will not be enough to fill the holes, or should you first embezzle next year's sailor funds?"

How could Ma Ying agree, when he was not reluctant, a Hanlin straight scholar came to the cabinet with Zheng Kezang's instructions: "I know about Sulu, I know, the south should be run by Bo Ni, Luzon, Yizhou five capital protectorate and abbot Zongfan, the small country of Sulu is just a clown, and let it go for a few days." ”

With Zheng Kezang's message, Ma Ying had no choice but to let the cabinet send someone to the south to discuss peace??????
