The first wind and rain drifted away

Sun Chengzong is really old.

Between the gray sideburns, a few old age spots are hidden.

Although the action is neat, it is not known whether the ambition is still strong.

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes and considered the words in his heart.

Sun Chengzong was an almost flawless man, and Emperor Chongzhen admired him.

In his life, he is very good at politics, and no one can move it.

Militarily, he is steady, has a unique vision, and has always been cautious and able to make good decisions.

For many years, he was the most feared enemy of Wei Zhongxian and the wild boar Pinurhachi.

But he is a typical strategic commander, and his habit is that if he is not sure, he will never fight. So he was in Liaodong for a few years, recovering countless lost territories, but rarely fighting.

This is the case with the so-called soldiers who surrender without a fight.

This is undoubtedly somewhat contrary to Emperor Chongzhen's philosophy.

Emperor Chongzhen likes to be happy and revenge, advocates attack, and does not accept it.

The navy is undoubtedly a branch of the armed forces that take the initiative to attack, and it is also deeply favored by Emperor Chongzhen.

"Does Elder Sun Ge know about the Zheng family in Fujian?"

In a little depression, Emperor Chongzhen asked faintly.

"I have heard a little that the giant bandits in the South China Sea are now recruited by the imperial court, and their families are quite wealthy."

Sun Chengzong leaned over slightly and replied.

"Not only is it quite wealthy, it is simply rich and rivals the country!"

Emperor Chongzhen got up and took the map of coastal defense, pointed to the coastline south of the Yangtze River and said:

"Can Sun Ge know that Songjiang, Nanzhili, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Liangguang and other places are engaged in maritime trade every year, as many as tens of thousands?

From the southeast to the sea, from our Ming vassal countries to the countries governed by the West, the number of people who settled and did business has reached hundreds of thousands?

And Europa Hongmaoyi made a lot of money by using sea ships just by projectile land?

But does Elder Sun Ge know?

But they all wanted to buy peace charms from the Anhai Zheng family in a remote corner.

Otherwise, the piece armor is not allowed to go to sea. ”

In Emperor Chongzhen's faint tone, the message conveyed stunned Sun Chengzong and Yang Sichang.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong descended to the Ming Dynasty.

He was very low-key, with 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, and 1,000 warships, but he served as Fujian's coastal defense guerrilla.

What is the position of a coastal defense guerrilla in the Ming Dynasty, and how many people do you generally control?

Don't laugh when you say it, a five-grade little general, three thousand soldiers and a few broken ships, really.

This is still without empty pay.

But Zheng Zhilong still took office without regrets.

He doesn't care about his position and position, as long as he can have a place to settle in Daming.

Due to the lack of information and the inconvenience of transmission, the high-ranking officials in Gyeonggi had little impression of Zheng Zhilong.

Not to mention Sun Chengzong and Yang Sichang, who have been in the family for a long time.

And the governor of Fujian, the political envoys of the left and right sides and others understood the wealth and power of the Zheng family.

In the imagination of ordinary people, Zheng Zhilong has such military power in his hands, wouldn't he be arrogant and domineering, and he could go sideways, and the officials in Fujian had a headache.

But on the contrary, it is said that people are very low-key.

Seeing his superior, Zheng Zhilong has always been respectful and respectful, and he is very particular about the rules of officialdom. In terms of money, he is even more demanding, and he is never stingy.

Let's put it this way, not to mention the officials of Fujian, even the people of the entire Quanzhou City, who also received his favor.

This can be known from the reports of the local officials: there were no murders in the places they went, and there were people who were destitute, and they were treated with money and rice.

Of course, this can only say that he is very low-key in the territory of Daming.

At sea, Zheng Zhilong is quite domineering.

No matter who you are, you haven't bought a peace charm, you haven't paid protection money, and your life and death are up to the fate of God.

It's a naked fucking threat.

Who doesn't know that maritime merchants are actually pirates.

In the vast sea, once someone eats and drinks in the dark, all the lives are gone, and there is no fire left for the officer.

What's more, on the surface of the South China Sea, who can compete with Zheng Zhilong?

The ship is strong and the guns are not good, and they lose a few times, and they also obediently pay the protection fee.

"Your Majesty, isn't the Zheng family's behavior like this something that the Fujian City Bosi should do?"

When Yang Sichang heard this, he couldn't sit still, got up and asked.

"How can they do a good job?

People earn tens of millions a year, raise tens of thousands of soldiers, and build sea ships, how much expense?

Can it be compared? ”

Emperor Chongzhen replied faintly.

Now is the beginning stage of Zheng Zhilong, Emperor Chongzhen knows, let him develop for a few more years, to the Southern Ming Dynasty, he will have more than 100,000 soldiers in his hands.

With thousands of warships, it is the absolute hegemon of the South China Sea.

At the same time, it was also his weakest moment. Because, he and Liu Xiang, another maritime overlord in Guangzhou, have just become popular and successful.

After that, in the South China Sea, he will have no opponents.

Now, if you can't contain him, it will be very difficult to get rid of him in the future.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take up the post of the Governor's Office of the Navy, and swear to fight Zheng Zhilong to the death.

Since Emperor Taizu Gao, I have been a master of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Although it is now in decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, there are more than 100 warships in Nanzhili, and the coastal defense posts are still there, especially the Denglai Naval Division has a certain foundation.

One of the ministers gathered the coastal defense posts in various places, trained sailors, controlled the sea route from the East to the Japanese Kingdom, and plundered the four seas to sit on the land and share the spoils.

Second, it built warships and gunboats and monopolized the route from the South China Sea to the West.

The third cooperated with Zheng Zhilong to collect peace charms together and feed back to the Ming Dynasty to solve the treasury crisis. ”

At this time, Yang Sichang stood up and said what he was thinking.

Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Chongzhen and Yang Sichang singing and harmonizing, and knew in his heart that it was estimated that they had already communicated.

This matter is basically a foregone conclusion, just waiting for my own position.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

Emperor Chongzhen and Yang Sichang really didn't communicate, and they have been with Sun Daoyou and Lu Daoyou in the past few days.

"Aiqing's words are refreshing, her thinking is clear, and I am very relieved!"

After listening to Yang Sichang's words, Emperor Chongzhen took the case, and finally understood why the deity became friends with him, tacit understanding, he can carry the black pot and is willing to carry the black pot!

The heart and liver are clear!

If you plunder the four seas and sit on the ground and share the spoils, although in the end if the other party does not understand, he will also say.

But as the Son of Heaven, can you not say it, don't you?

Although the royal face is not worth much in his heart, it is not a cheap product, so if you can pay attention to it, pay attention to it!

"Your Majesty, this is what you said, you don't want the court to raise a million heroes? Build tens of millions of sea ships to feed back to the Ming treasury? ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a moment and felt that there was no big problem, but it was just ......

State affairs are important, he didn't dare to be careless, and got up slowly and asked.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and smiled: "That's right! ”

PS: Say a few words to Taoist friends, the book is currently doing well, but the update is too scummy, I really want to chop my hands.

It's just that I take my writing seriously, and if I feel dissatisfied, I'll delete it, what should I do?

Alas!
