The news of Chen Yonghua's death spread to Fuzhou after several twists and turns, and Yao Qisheng and other officials of the Qing court and Fujian Province celebrated with their crowns, thinking that with the death of Zhu Jin, Dong Guotai and Chen Yonghua one after another, the Ming and Zheng sides were already in a state of poverty. Not only that, but the previous incident of Zheng Kezang's disposal of Feng Xifan was also regarded as the beginning of the collapse of the Ming Zheng regime.biquge.info However, after the celebration, Yao Qisheng, Wu Xingzuo, Wan Zhengse, Shi Lang and others had strict opinions on whether to use military or political means against Dongning next.

"Now that Chen Yonghua is dead again, Liu Guoxuan must be unable to support himself, maybe the imperial court only needs a piece of paper, and Taiwan will send an envoy to send a letter to soothe." Wan Zhengse, the commander of the Fujian land division, did not advocate attacking Taiwan across the sea, but as a result, he lost the emperor's new, and was transferred by Kangxi from the position of the commander of the naval division to the commander of the land division with a slightly inferior status, and he was very resentful in his heart. "Moreover, the prefect Bian Yongyu and Zhang Zhongju have made many achievements in managing the sea and Xinjiang, and there are many achievements in the sea adversity, even if Zhu Qin does not surrender, it is estimated that it will not last long."

"That's not true." Why Shi Lang came to Fujian was to preside over the war against Taiwan, if Wan Zhengse's mention yì got Tongguò, wouldn't he become a soy sauce fighter, for the sake of his own future, he said that he would also adhere to the measures of armed suppression. "Back then, the former dynasty gave the surname Yu to death, and Zhu Jin also came to an end, but after ten years, Dongning has made a comeback, and now the situation can be described as the same, and we must not indulge in the enemy again."

"But hundreds of thousands of soldiers eat horses, Dongning has not been pacified, and Fujian Province will be poor." Wu Xingzuo, as a minister, naturally first considered from the perspective of local finance. "Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Jiangxi still need relief after the great drought last year, and the imperial court has just exterminated Wu Rebellious, and this financial and material resources are very scarce, so it is better not to use troops if you can not use them."

"Platforms don't just spend money, they also make money." The reason why Shi Lang advocated the elimination of Ming Zheng was not only to avenge his family and add officials to the knighthood for himself, but also to have a more far-reaching purpose, that is, to clear the Zheng family's control over the Fujian Sea route, so that he could control the Sino-foreign trade and obtain huge profits, but he couldn't say it so bluntly, so he could only draw a big cake for Wu Xingzuo that he couldn't see and eat. "Only when Taiwan is pacified, can the silk, tea, and porcelain of Fujian Province go to sea and sell to foreign countries, so that the merchants will certainly benefit from it, and the government can also collect commercial taxes from it."

Speaking of this, Shi Lang turned his expectant gaze to Yao Qisheng, the governor of Fujian. Yao Qisheng's brother-in-law is Huang Xigon, who is in charge of the military department of the Qing Dongge University, and Shi Lang is Huang Xigon's brother-in-law, and they have a very close relationship with each other, plus Shi Lang's ability to serve as the admiral of the Fujian Navy is Yao Qisheng persuaded Li Guangdi to fight hard from Kangxi, so Shi Lang thought that Yao Qisheng would definitely support him.

But Yao Qisheng has another thought, on the one hand, Bian Yongyu, Zhang Zhongju and Huang Xingzhen, who previously presided over the Zhangzhou Xiulai Pavilion, mentioned by Wan Zhengse just now, are all cadres he single-handedly promoted, and their merits are Yao Qisheng's own merits, and on the other hand, Yao Qisheng also felt that the other party's domineering was not easy to get along with in his work with Shi Lang, so he wanted to take the opportunity to pressure Shi Lang, so as to completely control the dominance of the situation in the Taiwan Strait.

"Honorable Marquis (note: Shi Lang's words), since you have the opportunity, let's prepare with both hands." It is said that he is preparing with both hands, but it is tantamount to agreeing with the opinions of Wan Zhengse and others - most politicians and businessmen are like this, in order to achieve their own goals, even if they are relatives and friends who are talking positively, they can turn their backs and sell them - this is like pouring ice water on Shi Lang's forehead. "You are still preparing for a fight, in addition, the governor will send people to Penghu again, if you can really appease the sea rebellion, it will also be your army's deterrence."

Is it meritorious to overwhelm the realm and deter? What kind of credit is this, it may not even be counted as the soup and water that people drink leftover, with Shi Lang's identity and vision, he naturally can't look down on this little credit at all, so he argues unconvincingly.

"Suppressing the army, even if you send people to Penghu to appease you today, but if you really want to carry it out, Zheng Cheng will inevitably send people to Fuzhou to negotiate, judging from the examples of the past few years, this time and two, let alone a year will pass, when Zhu Qin and Liu Guoxuan will stabilize the situation in Taiwan, how will the situation in Taiwan be half of it?" Shi Lang's meaning is naturally that the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, in case he falls for Ming Zheng's delaying strategy, there is nowhere to buy the regret medicine. "And Wu Futai just said that the financial resources of Fujian Province are staggering, and it has already reached a situation where it is beyond its means, and one more day of delay is a day's loss."

Shi Lang used Wu Xingzuo's words as a weapon to fight back, which made Wu Xingzuo himself unable to refute at all, and Yao Qisheng also lightly said that Wu Xingzuo's words were wrong, and when the two were in a dilemma, he listened to Wan Zhengse's cold interface: "It's a good thing that Shi Junmen is worried about the king's affairs and wants to urgently eliminate the sea rebellion, but the Fujian Provincial Sailor is neat?" It is reported that there are still 30,000 people in Zheng Shun's water division, if he uses the current strength of the Fujian water division, he may be able to ensure that Zheng Wei is defeated? In case the naval battle fails, how should Zheng Wei cross the sea to harass all parts of Fujian Province? ”

"Honorable Marquis, Lord Wan has a point, don't be rash," seemed to explain patiently, but Yao Qisheng quietly buttoned the other party's hat. "It's better to mediate while rectifying, so that it can be considered safe." Yao Qisheng twisted his beard as he spoke, making it look like he was in control. "Even if Hai Wei wants to use the appeasement to prolong his breath, it can also give the court time to enrich the sailor, as the saying goes, this is sharpening the knife and not cutting wood."

Shi Lang was so angry that he clenched his hands into fists, but the civil and military forces of Fujian Province were not on his side, and he was alone, so he had to temporarily stop and put away his thoughts of seeking war, but he did not give up his claim of military conquest, and as soon as he returned to the Yamen of the Admiral of the Navy, he immediately flew off and asked Kangxi to give him the power to exclude, and tried to force the officials of Fujian Province to make concessions to his plan with pressure from Beijing

"This barbarian!" Yao Qisheng didn't know Shi Lang's plan, and he thought that he had successfully suppressed the other party, and he was sitting in the study at the moment thinking about Shi Lang's angry appearance just now, thinking about it, thinking about it, and thinking of the proud place, a faint smile appeared on his face. "I have been guarding the gate of the Internal Affairs Office in Beijing for thirteen years, and I haven't worn off the fire, what a tough donkey, but even if you are the Monkey King, you can't escape the palm of the old man's hand."

After talking to himself, a servant of his cronies came to report: "Master, the Li family in Min'an asks to see the master." ”

The Li family in Min'an was one of the largest maritime merchants in Fujian during Geng Jingzhong's era, but it was dying due to the impact of the Fujian war and the feudal order, but in any case, compared to the liquidation of the Guangdong foreign traders led by Shen Shangda, the Li family's situation was quite good, of course, this is also the reason why Yao Qisheng hoped to raise military expenses through these maritime merchants.

"The nose is very smart, and I smelled it when something happened in Taiwan." Yao Qisheng said with a slight mockery, although he had chosen the strategy of appeasement, he would not refuse the money sent to the door lightly. "Sue the people from the Li family, the official is busy with government affairs, and I don't have time to receive them for a while, if the matter is not urgent, just wait slowly"

"Shisun, the location of this bay is to the north of Bintonglong," the voyage battalion that returned with a full load not only brought back the goods that Dongning needed, but also brought a piece of information that made Zheng Kezang dazzled. "The entrance to the strait is not big, and there is a big island to shelter it, originally I thought that it was very secret to build a stack in the shelter of the big island, but when I sailed into the inner mouth, I found that there was a hole in it."

Looking at the hand-drawn map, although it is disproportionate, combined with the location of Bin Tonglong and Ma Ying's description, Zheng Kezang's eyes suddenly lit up, this should be the famous Cam Ranh Bay in the future, but at the moment it is a nameless bay, and there are only a hundred or so fishermen living in Bin Tonglong, and there is very little arable land.

Cai Tong negotiated with the Bintong Longren, but the other party didn't value this bay at all, "Of course, there are many such bays in Annan and Champang, and each bay can only be connected with a few surrounding areas, so the commonplace Bintong Longren don't take it seriously." "As long as we give us a hundred arquebuses at once, and another twenty sets of shark skin armor and a few knives and guns every year, the Bintong Dragon King is willing to give us the entire area," Ma Ying said, the more excited he became. "The minister is thinking, if we grab two or three times and come back, I am afraid that we will waste a lot of time on the road, if we can establish a port here, those heavy ones can be sold on the spot."

Zheng Kezhang touched his short beard and thought about it, he didn't think Ma Ying had the courage to deduct his share, but now he would send people to Cam Ranh Bay, and he was still a little uncertain: "Although the sea area is a good place for looting, but after all, you can't dry up and fish, you have to find a way to expand the range of the cruise, and if you have the opportunity, you can simply go straight down to the Gulf of Siam to see." As for buying this harbor with Bintong Dragon King? It's not that it's impossible, it's just that it's a little convenient for people. ”

Zheng Kezhang can't just build a trading house, he wants to build a fort, set up a military port, and send people to farm to ensure the food of the garrison, so he needs to consider it holistically, but no matter how he thinks about it, it is impossible for him to transfer the boy scouts or Luan Yiwei Town out at this stage: "Hold off for the time being, and wait until the Fujian naval division who defeated the northern captives." ”

Ma Ying was a little disappointed, but Zheng Kezang said that it was not unreasonable, and he could only obey the overall situation of Taiwan, just when he reluctantly looked at the deformed map, Zheng Kezhang told him: "The Ordnance Division has made a red-hot bomb, and the three ships of Flying Eagle, Flying Dragon, and Flying Sky have to be modified, and you seniors also take the opportunity to go to the boy camp for a walk, so as to set an example for the juniors."
