Volume 2 Nanyang Chapter 469 Old Jiang Strategy
Chapter 469: Old Jiang's Strategy
Just as Luo Gongcheng was talking to the old servant of the Wei family, suddenly a person hurriedly ran in and said: "Father-in-law, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, the Yongning Guardian Sailor went to sea to resist the enemy's annihilation." ”
"What?" Grandpa Luo frowned.
Although Gonggong Luo had a premonition of the rout of the coastal sailors, he never expected that the news would come so quickly.
Father-in-law Luo said: "You go back quickly, go to your family, and let them send troops quickly, otherwise the matter is too big, and don't blame me for not being ruthless." ”
Although the responsibility can be passed on to others, Luo's father-in-law is the eunuch of the town, and the Fujian sailor is also within the scope of his supervision, and the loss of the Fujian sailor is too great. It is also his responsibility.
The old servant of the Wei family did not dare to slack off, and overnight, he returned to Penghu and reported to Wei Dalin.
Wei Dalin paced back and forth, thinking repeatedly in his heart that he didn't know what to do. He has a little strength in his hands, after all, in this era, the gap between merchant ships and warships is not so big. The strength in Wei Dalin's hands is also a powerful maritime force in the southeast coastal area, and the strength of the guards on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty is definitely greater than the strength in Wei Dalin's hands, but these forces are distributed in the various guards along the entire southeast coast. It takes time to get together.
If you want to really defeat the Franc fleet, Wei Dalin has to act. But Wei Dalin had concerns in his heart.
Wei Dalin understands that the reason why he has his current position is not because of how powerful he Wei Dalin is, nor how much he Wei Dalin is trusted by King Yong. Instead, he was ordered to be in danger, and in Dongyong, he couldn't find a suitable candidate.
Because of this, Wei Dalin cherished this opportunity even more.
Wei Dalin watched his younger brother become the commander of a fleet. But he was only Xu Song's deputy in Shaofu.
Of course, Shaofu is not bad, and when Dongyong was expanding rapidly, it was easier to be promoted from Wu than from Wen. Among the Shaofu, Wei Dalin could not cross Xu Song.
And among the sailors, it is easy to become a one-sided figure.
The more he cherished this opportunity, the more Wei Dalin couldn't let go. He was in the Shaofu, and of course he knew how important these ships were in his hands. It is simply the lifeline of Dongyong trade. In the last battle, he had already lost too much, and if there were losses again this time, he really didn't know how to face Xu Song.
He didn't see the victory yet, he saw the loss first, and he even thought: "If the Buddha Langji is entangled in the coast of Fujian and gives up coming to Dongyong, it may be a good thing, anyway, the order of His Royal Highness King Yong is to maintain the supply line, and protect Dongyong, don't let Dongyong lose, and he didn't say that he would let Fujian suffer losses."
When Wei Dalin was about to make a decision, a servant suddenly came up and said, "Young Master, the master is here." ”
Wei Dalin suddenly stood up from his chair and said, "Why is my father here?" ”
Old man Wei is very old, especially after his two sons all defected to Dongyong, he also gave up his career and began to live in his old age. Wei Dalin never expected that his father would suddenly come here and immediately get up to greet him.
But a moment later, Old Man Wei was supported by two servants and walked over.
Wei Dalin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The child greets his father." ”
Old Man Wei said: "Da Lin, do you want to stand still? ”
Wei Dalin said: "Father, why did you say this? ”
Old Man Wei snorted coldly and said, "You all go out." ”
"Yes." All the servants who were waiting around walked out, leaving only Old Man Wei and Wei Dalin behind.
Old Man Wei said: "Da Lin, you have had a conflict with Ruizhou recently, right? ”
Wei Dalin knew that he couldn't prevaricate, and he couldn't prevaricate. I had to bow my head and say, "Yes." ”
It's not that Wei Dalin can't let go, he was originally the next helmsman of the Wei family, but Wei Ruizhou sold the entire Wei family to Dongyong. At this point, Old Man Wei also nodded and agreed. Wei Dalin was helpless.
But the encounter after Dongyong made Wei Dalin have to complain in his heart. Zhu Houhuang's preference for Wei Ruizhou made Wei Ruizhou rise step by step and become a senior general among the sailors. The gap made him feel uneasy.
One is a rookie of the water division, and the other is the second of Shaofu Wannian. If there were no today's changes, he estimated that he would have been in charge of the young mansion for the rest of his life.
Such a world of difference, how can he not resent.
Old Man Wei said: "It's okay if you have a grudge against your brother, so that our Wei family can be considered safer." ”
Wei Dalin frowned and said, "Could it be that His Royal Highness is not at ease with the Wei family?" ”
Old Man Wei said: "If His Royal Highness King Yong is at ease with the Wei family, he will not raise Ruizhou and belittle you, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father." Although Ruizhou is a good seedling, he has experienced few things. If you want to become a tool, you need to have a few years of experience. But you are different, for so many years, the Wei family's business has been run in your hands. Your power is already above mine. ”
Wei Dalin seemed to understand and said, "You mean, Your Highness did it on purpose?" ”
Old Man Wei said: "These imperial methods, His Royal Highness is quite skillful. It's also a conspirator, and now you know, will you assist your brother. ”
Wei Dalin pondered for a moment and said, "No. ”
Wei Dalin has been in charge of the Wei family for many years, and now he is under his younger brother, even if Wei Dalin knows that there are the means of His Royal Highness King Yong. How could he be willing?
willingly bowed down to his brother.
Old Man Wei said: "I know this, this time, I just came to see you, I have always passed on the family business I want to see to you." It's not possible now, but I'll give you another big gift, which can be regarded as my compensation for you. ”
"The father's words are serious, the father's kindness to the child is very high, and the child is not a heartless person, why should the father be like this? Even if the father wants to pass on the family business to the younger brother, the child has no complaints, not to mention, the current situation is not what the father thinks. Wei Dalin said.
Old Man Wei said, "Okay, don't talk about this, let's get down to business." You have been in charge of my Wei family's business, do you know what was the biggest profit of my Wei family at the beginning? ”
Wei Dalin said: "The deal with the Francophile. ”
"Okay, that's right, before the Franc Robot conquered Malacca, my Wei family had some contact with the Franc Robot. It is because of this that my Wei family has developed vigorously and become the head of the maritime merchants in Nanyang. However, since my family took refuge in Dongyong, the connection with the Francophile has been severed. Old Man Wei said: "However, the Francois think that they are very mysterious in the big light and shadows. But I don't understand, the eyeliner he arranged in Daming can't hide from my eyes, there was no chance, but the Francophone attacked Quanzhou in a big way, and I found the opportunity. ”
Wei Dalin instantly thought of something and said, "Father, does you know the location of the next attack of the Francophone?" ”
Old Man Wei smiled and said: "I don't know, but I know for sure, in the information I have obtained, the Franc machine will go south along the coast and attack the port all the way." All you have to do is lay an ambush and block the Franco fleet in one of the bays, and you can expect a big victory. ”
Wei Dalin's heart was full of thousands of thoughts, and he was full of hesitation for a while, not knowing what to do. It's going forward or it's going back. It was just in his thoughts, but this decision was not easy to make.
Old man Wei did not urge Wei Dalin, he knew that his son, the eldest son was different from the second son, his eldest son started a business with him, he had seen it, and it was difficult and difficult. So I did things safely, but I lacked a little courage. The second son is different, he is full of momentum, but he is not safe enough to do things.
Wei Dalin's chaotic thoughts slowly subsided, and he suddenly thought of his younger brother, who knew that if he didn't do anything, he would never be able to compare to his younger brother.
In his eyes, a cold light said, "Father, the child understands what you mean. The child decides to send troops and ambush the Franc man. Be sure to let the Franc machine people go and never return. ”
Old Man Wei said: "Although I am your father, but in the current situation, you must understand that you must bear your own decisions. ”
