"Xu Du is dead!"
Xiao Zhiyan quietly turned into the door, and the sound that came out woke Zhai Zhe from the pile of cases.
He raised his head, didn't pay attention to Xiao Zhiyan's abnormality, and replied casually: "I know!" ”
"Is it worth it for you to spend so much effort just to capture Zhoushan Island?" Xiao Zhiyan's eyes were bright, and his face didn't have the same smile as before.
"It's worth it!" Zhai Zhe stretched out his hand and motioned for Xiao Zhiyan to sit down and speak.
Xiao Zhiyan stood still.
Zhai Zhe showed Xiao Zhiyan's expression at this time, pushed away the documents in front of him, and said seriously: "In a few years, you will appear, and it is worth it for me to pay any price for controlling Zhoushan Island." Only in the face of Xiao Zhiyan will he open his mouth to explain, he has been dictatorial for a long time, and it is difficult to find a friend to chat with, he cherishes his friendship with Xiao Zhiyan in distress. Now, with his identity, it is difficult to find friends who can make friends.
Zhoushan Island is returned to Ningshaojun Town, and Zhai Zhe's warships can go to Songjiang, Wusong and other places unimpeded, and even sail into the mouth of the Yangtze River. It can't be reflected now, but if Jiangnan is lost, it will be Ning Shao's throat, how can the side of the couch allow others to sleep soundly. Driving Huang Binqing away allowed him to at least have the ability to be on the defensive in Zheng Zhilong's conversations in the future.
"Is Huang Binqing Meng Kang's hand?"
"It's not!" Zhai Zhe's patience is surprisingly good, and no one is qualified to question him like this, but he doesn't want to lose his only friend.
"I could have let him die, but I didn't!" Zhai Zhe raised his face.
The two looked at each other like this, and I don't know how many times they came, Xiao Zhiyan sat on the chair opposite Zhai Zhe and said, "I have never married a wife, so I don't have a son, Xu Du's son Xu Yiyang, I want to accept him as a righteous son." Although he has many grievances in his heart, Zhai Zhe is still his brother.
Xiao Zhiyan has never changed his attitude towards Zhai Zhe because Zhai Zhe became the chief soldier, because he is especially cherished by Zhai Zhe because of this.
"That's the best!" Zhai Zhe clapped his hands and stood up.
Xiao Zhiyan also smiled.
"And the owner of the eyebrow tower, do you still want the family to be like this all the time?" Zhai Zhe smiled shyly, "Vice General Xiao, it's time to marry someone back." ”
The smile on Xiao Zhiyan's lips was slightly warmer, but he didn't reply.
If it was a year ago, with Xu Du's family status, Xiao Zhiyan wanted to accept his son as a righteous son, it would be a big joke. But now it's different, after Zuo Guangdou killed Xu Du, he also ordered the counties of eastern Zhejiang to hunt down Xu Du's family, Xiao Zhiyan was willing to accept Xu Yiyang as his son, which was a great kindness. Xu Du's death, Xiao Zhiyan didn't feel wronged, but he just wanted to do something for Xu Du from the bottom of his heart.
Not long after Xiao Zhiyan left, two men with hats walked into the General Soldier's Mansion.
The person in front, although he covered his face with a hat, but the pro-soldiers of the General Military Mansion all knew who it was, except for Ji Hong, where would there be a one-armed man here. Ji Hong was dressed in white, looking like a chivalrous man in white, and after serving as the leader of the dark camp, he would not appear here again for a few months.
Ji Hong didn't wear a hat to hide his identity, but to keep the person behind him from being too conspicuous. The two of them quietly entered Zhai Zhe's study, Fang Jin led the two into the door, and when he saw Zhai Zhe's gesture, he retreated.
"Mr. Zhai!" The person in the back lifted the hat on his head, and it turned out to be Zhu Dabiao, a close confidant of Xu Du.
"You're smarter than Xu Du!" Zhai Zhe leaned back in his chair.
"I persuaded the generalissimo, but unfortunately he trusted Chen Zilong. But I know it's not Chen Zilong, it's Zuo Guangxian! Zhu Dabiao showed a look of grief and indignation.
"Have you thought about it?"
"The white-headed army trees are scattered, and some people are hiding on Kucang Mountain, and after the death of the marshal, there is no hope." Zhu Dabiao lamented. In his desperate moments, his old friends brought him hope. Now it's not about the tiger's skin, it's about others rewarding him with a bite to eat. After Xu Du surrendered, the soldiers and horses of Ning Shaozhen knew that there were still remnants of the Baitou Army on the mountain, but they did not chase them to the end.
Zhu Dabiao is a pragmatic person, so he resolutely did not follow Xu Du down the mountain. It is precisely because he is a pragmatic person that he dares to follow Ji Hong to Dinghaiwei.
"I have a friend with Xu Du, and his family is here with me." Zhai Zhe did this because Xu Du had helped him, and of course there were some incidental benefits.
"If it weren't for that, how would I be here?"
"You go back and straighten out the remnants, leaving only a thousand people, and the rest will be sent to Zuo Ruo's barracks, and I will give you food and grass supplies."
"Yes!" Zhu Dabiao bowed down, he finally found a backer, and a very reliable backer. There are people who are willing to continue to stay in the mountains, but he is not willing to do such a promising thing, he used to be one of Xu Du's think tanks, so he thinks a little more.
The weather was cold, and Xu Du's rank hung on the city wall of Jinhua Mansion for ten days.
On the 25th day of the first month, Zhai Zhe wore a cloth coat, and Chen Zilong arrived at Jinhua Mansion to ask the prefect of Jinhua Mansion for the rank of Xu Du, put it in a coffin with the corpse, and hastily buried it outside Dongyang County.
Zhai Zhe is a military general, although it is taboo to do such a thing, he can not care. Xu Du's white-headed army was single-handedly killed by his Ning Shaozhen. He was loyal to the court first, and then to his friends. But Chen Zilong, as a civil official, dared to walk with him regardless of the comments of the government and the opposition, which made Zhai Zhe secretly admire.
used to be a strong man in Dongyang, but now his family is ruined.
"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me!" Chen Zilong choked on tears in front of Xu Du's humble tomb.
This sentence completely speaks Zhai Zhe's heart.
"Those people in several societies thought that I had paved the way for promotion with the blood of Zikou." Chen Zilong lamented that Zikou is the word of Xu Du. He made meritorious service because of the encirclement and suppression of the Baitou Army by the governor of Ningshao, and the governor of Zhejiang reported his merits to the imperial court.
Zhai Zhe was silent throughout the whole process, and he really had nothing to say. The road is forced by others, and they all choose it themselves, so they will naturally bear the corresponding consequences.
"Zikou's family is with me, and I will take care of them."
In front of Xu Du's tomb, Zhai Zhe only said this sentence, and he was also saying it to Xu Du.
This year's winter is extraordinarily long, spring is late, and the entire Jiangnan seems to have not woken up, and is still in a dead state, except for Ning Shaojun Town, of course. The Shangmeng bought cotton cloth and silk and sold it to Ningbo Prefecture, where it was transported by boat to Zhoushan Island, where Yang Zhigao formed a fleet to Japan.
Zhejiang Sea is a thriving scene, more than 100 ships face the spring breeze from Wusongkou southward to Zhoushan Island. When Gu San Mazi heard the news that Chen Huwei was appeased, he took the initiative to contact Yang Zhigao and asked to be attached to Ningshao Town. Zhoushan Shui Shi garrisoned Wen Linzhu and Yang Zhigao personally accompanied Gu San Mazi to Dinghaiwei to meet Zhai Zhe.
Defeat the Baitou Army first, and then collect the corpse of Xu Du into the ground, Zhai Zhe's reputation can't be suppressed in the recklessness of eastern Zhejiang. The people in the green forest pay attention to righteousness and righteousness, and Zhai Zhe is doing his duty to break through the Baitou army. But as the general soldier of a town, regardless of the suspicion of the imperial court, he condoled a beheaded anti-thief leader, which is righteousness.
Gu San Mazi is tall and has slender limbs, if it weren't for the pockmarks on his face that hindered the scenery, he would be a dignified figure. After seeing Zhai Zhe at the Yamen of the General Soldier's Mansion, he kowtowed respectfully.
Zhai Zhe carefully looked at this pirate who had been on the same level as Chen Huwei in Zhehai, and wanted to judge what kind of person he was.
"If you vote for me now, you can only start from Mr. Qian!"
That is one level smaller than Chen Huwei's official position, Gu San Mazi was a little unwilling, but in the end he still prostrate on the ground and replied: "I am willing to serve the chief soldier." ”
"You are often in Wusongkou in the East China Sea, and I heard that you have gone deep into the Yangtze River to plunder?"
Hearing Zhai Zhe talk about these things, Gu San Mazi was a little scared, and replied stubbornly: "That's because the villain used to be ignorant, and he won't be in the future." ”
"Where have you been farthest?"
"Jiangyin, but was repelled by Yan Yingyuan, a warden of Jiangyin, and did not go ashore."
"Really?" Zhai Zhe's mind passed for a while, a warden can repel pirates who often roam the sea, and he must also be a brave man. But he didn't think about it, but continued to ask: "Then you must be familiar with the sea road of Wusongkou!" ”
"Quite understood." Gu San Mazi's answer was very careful.
Zhai Zhe was very satisfied with his reaction, such a character would at least be easier to control than Chen Huwei.
"Are you familiar with Chongming Island?"
"Chongming Island was originally a pirate nest where hungry people from Jiangbei gathered, and it was later encircled and appeased by the imperial court, and the garrison Gu Rong was also born as a pirate, and he had some friendship with me." Gu San Mazi's characteristic is that he has many friends, of course, he can't make any friends who can be on the stage with his identity.
Zhai Zhe pondered for a moment, raised his pen and wrote down a document, and instructed: "You will serve under the command of the Feng garrison, and you will be under the command of the Zhoushan Naval Division to garrison Wenlin Zhu, and temporarily assist him in garrisoning Zhoushan Island, and all his subordinates will go ashore to accept rectification, and they will not be allowed to go to sea for nearly half a year." ”
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Gu San Mazi was overjoyed.
This is the advantage of grasping both Ningshao Town and Zhoushan Island, and he can recruit pirates without the approval of the governor of Guò, as long as he can afford to support those people.
Zhai Zhe was not familiar with the sea, so he gave it to someone who was familiar with it. Some people can only use military salaries to buy their subordinates, but Zhai Zhe never wants to be this kind of person. Silver is essential, but financial resources will eventually be limited. There is an old Chinese saying that the righteous are all slaughtering dogs, and the negative hearts are all readers. If he wants to make the reckless people return to his heart, he must use the rules of the rivers and lakes.
In April, news came from Jiangbei that the Qing soldiers broke through the Great Wall of Ziling again and invaded Shandong. Zhai Zhe suspected that if Huang Taiji was willing, he could even capture the city of Beijing, but Huang Taiji did not.
It seems that after the long-awaited Zhou Yanru took office, the political situation in the Ming Dynasty has never been good.
Zhai Zhe did not have any expectations for Zhou Yanru, he could only use the only bit of capital to expand his strength. After becoming the chief soldier of Ning Shao, he did not dare to provoke Zhou Yanru again. How Zhang Pu died, that's still a mystery. His exchange with Zhou Yanru was limited to the position of a general soldier, and after taking charge of Ning Shao, he even hoped that Zhou Yanru would forget about him.
In the intense training of the newly recruited soldiers and horses, Zhai Zhexin added a training content, requiring Ning Shao's infantry to be familiar with sailing in the sea on the ships of the division in batches, and sail from Guanhaiwei to Taizhou Mansion and then return, and the Taizhou defenders did the opposite.
