Guangling City, the county Taishou Chen Deng has 30,000 troops, peeps south of the Yangtze River, and blocks Shouchun in the west, no force dares to attack Guangling, so that Chutian has no worries.

Chen Deng was planning to lead his troops north to support the Xiapi Kingdom, and when he heard that the soldiers and horses in the north had won a great victory, he recuperated and appeased the people.

"Lord Taishou, Zhang Zigang asks to see you."

"Invite him in and see me, I'm about to introduce him to the state."

Chen Deng heard about Zhang Zigang's reputation, so he ordered his subordinates to invite Zhang Zigang to the county office.

Zhang Zigang, also known as Zhang Hong, is known as "Erzhang" along with Zhang Zhao, and is one of the core interior ministers of Soochow.

Zhang Hong, who is in his thirties, met Chen Deng, both of whom have family backgrounds and cherish each other.

Xuzhou implements the imperial examination system, but in the troubled times, for the talents recommended by various families, Chutian is meritocratic and does not avoid suspicion. The quality of the disciples of the family was much higher than that of the common disciples in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"I heard that Xuzhou Mu issued an order to seek talents, and I intended to go to Xuzhou Mu, but at that time, it was obstructed by the former Guangling Taishou, so I couldn't leave for Xiacheng. I don't know if I can still be used to take refuge in Xuzhou now? ”

Zhang Hong was originally quite famous, but for Xuzhou Mu, who was in the limelight and had a lot of talents, he was not necessarily an indispensable existence. Therefore, Zhang Hong was not proud of this, but humble.

"The lord has always emphasized meritocracy, and with your talents, you can easily dismiss your subordinates. The lord should return to the summer city, and I will send a few people to the summer city with you. ”

"There is Lao Yuanlong."

At this time, Chutian returned to Xiacheng and used the Yihe Water Division to transport the legions in the area of Pengcheng and Xiapi back to Langya to exert pressure on Qingzhou.

As for Cao Cao, he is still restrained by Zhou Yafu, Xu Rong, and Pang Juan, and it is difficult to become bigger.

Chu Tian was considering attacking the Qingzhou Beihai Kingdom. Qingzhou Beihai Kingdom is just north of Langya Kingdom, if you don't take Beihai Kingdom, Langya Kingdom will always have a dagger hanging above its head.

"If you capture Beihai and Donglai County, then the sea will be to the north. At present, there is no need to worry about the threat from the sea, and the Goryeo Kingdom and Dongying Kingdom are not capable of crossing the sea to crusade. ”

Considering the safety of Langya Kingdom, Chu Tian could only attack Zhao Gongzi in a big way.

The sea is the best protection for the territory.

As long as the conquest between civilizations has not begun, the sea will be safe.

"Order Zheng Zhilong to go to Qu County in the East China Sea Kingdom, and command the Fubo Army with Xu Sheng, and participate in the preparations for the crusade against Qingzhou."

Chutian kept the great pirate Zheng Zhilong by his side for a while, and after seeing that his loyalty had increased, he sent Zheng Zhilong to Guoqu County in the East China Sea to join the Fubo Legion.

The Fubo Legion had a total of 30,000 sailors and sailors, and 500 ships of various kinds.

"Lord, Zhang Zigang, a native of Guangling, asks to see you."

Chu Tian was about to send the Fubo Army to attack Donglai County by water, when an official came to report.

Zhang Zigang, a native of Guangling......

"Could it be Zhang Hong?"

"Exactly."

Chu Tian almost emptied Dongwu's family foundation.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, and Xu Shengquan of the Eastern Wu forces were attracted by him, so it was difficult for the Eastern Wu forces to improve.

Cao Cao's forces were being suppressed by Chutian, and Liu Bei's Zhao Yun and military advisor Zhuge Liang were also obtained by Chutian.

Half of the foundations of the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty have been destroyed.

Zhang Hong came in and saw the young Xuzhou Mu, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Chu Tian's age was indeed a little young compared to his status.

Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao are almost the same age, and if they can manage to recruit them, Chutian will not lack Wenchen who governs Xuzhou.

The Xuzhou area is rich in Wenchen. The state of Langya has Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yu and others, the state of the East China Sea has Wang Lang and Mi Zhu, the state of Xiapi has Chen Qi, Chen Deng, and Lu Su, the state of Pengcheng has Zhang Zhao, and the state of Guangling County has Zhang Hong, which can fully meet the needs of the Chutian forces for Wenchen.

Not to mention Chutian and Li Kui, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, each of whom is a prime minister-level minister.

"Guangling Taishou Chen Yuanlong recommended under ......"

"Sub-program talents, no matter who recommends them, can be reused."

Before Zhang Hong could elaborate on his origins, Chu Tian had already decided to reuse him, and he couldn't help but move.

Chu Tian seemed to value him very much.

"The state pastor has an overreputation, if the state pastor does not dislike it, Zhang Hong is willing to work for the state pastor and appease the people."

There was no need for Chutian to deliberately solicit, Zhang Hong took the initiative to take refuge.

When Chutian issued the order to seek talents, Zhang Hong was already ready to take refuge in Chutian, but was blocked by the original alien lord of Guangling County. After Chutian occupied Guangling County, Zhang Hong secretly observed Chutian's actions, and found that Chutian still reused the disciples of the family, and made Chen Yuanlong, a subordinate of the people, the Taishou of Guangling County, and at the same time suppressed the princes of the Quartet, arrogant and arrogant, so he made up his mind to come to serve allegiance.

The situation in the world is not yet clear, and all the families are waiting and seeing. Among all the princes, Chutian is one of the princes in the front, Zhang Hong observed the surrounding princes, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is not yet clear, Yuan Shu is a dry bone in the tomb, it is difficult to achieve a big thing, only Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou has auxiliary value.

Not only Zhang Hong, but in the eyes of other families in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Chutian was also one of the preferred lords to take refuge.

If it weren't for the talents in the territories that the various princes forcibly retained, there would be an endless stream of talents.

"Ding! The royal minister Zhang Hong is loyal to you. ”

"Ding! Achievement System - The A-rank achievement 'Koto Two Sheets' is completed. You get the blueprint for the construction of the sixth-level building ship, and the heroes Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong get the tether trait 'Jiangdong 2 Zhang'. ”

After Zhang Hong took refuge, Chutian unexpectedly completed an achievement.

There is also a bond between Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, similar to the close cooperation between Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Chutian has currently completed three fetter achievements, "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu", "Fang Mou Du Dudu", and "Jiangdong Erzhang".

"Zigang might as well serve as the chief historian under the command of Langya. Langya is the core place, and I value it very much. Although he is not engaged in the state pastor, the position of the governor of Langya is actually important. ”

In order to share the pressure of the cool summer, Chutian decided to temporarily appoint Zhang Hong as the governor of Langya to assist Langya in governing government affairs.

While waiting for Zhang Hong's response, Chu Tian secretly checked Zhang Hong's panel properties for better arrangements.

Another trusting orphan minister......

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are under Chu Tian's command, and this feature has no effect, because Chu Tian is now alive and well. Especially after Hua Tuo taught the "Five Fowl Opera", Chutian's mental state was obviously much better, and the most obvious feeling was the cool summer and Mulan......

Because of the completion of the achievement "Jiangdong Erzhang", Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's political attributes can be temporarily increased a little, Zhang Zhao's political upper limit is 97, and Zhang Hong's political attribute is 95.

Compared with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who are more involved in the army, the combination of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong is a complete role of the Minister of the Interior.

arranged for Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong to go to war, they couldn't do it, they just went to send their heads. Their views on the affairs of the military family are also lackluster, so it is better to obediently stay home and appease the people.

Zhang Hong's ability to enhance the cultural prosperity of the territory is obvious.

The cultural prosperity of Xiacheng is already very high, with buildings such as Han Yuefu, Confucius Temple, Music Fang, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and Diao Chan, Cai Wenji, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Du Fu and others joining, and the culture is extremely prosperous.

Recently, Lu Zhi also recommended his fellow disciple brother Zheng Xuan to him, and Chu Tian saw that he had no intention of becoming a scholar, so he stayed in Du Fu's Thatched Cottage and was enshrined by the Lord's Mansion, so that he could study the scriptures with peace of mind.

"My lord, the fleet of ships organized by the Tokai Kingdom to trade with Hirado Castle in Toei is about to go to sea in the near future. This is the first time we have traded with overseas, and this time the Lord's Mansion also participated, and it is estimated that we can make tens of thousands of taels of silver from it......"

Xia Liang came to report on the trade with the lord of Dongying Hirado, and saw that Chu Tian was talking to a Wenchen who had never met before, and knew that he was a Wenchen recruited by Chutian again.

Recently, there are many talents who have come to Chutian to seek refuge, and Lu Su and Zhang Hong are among the representatives. In addition to Lu Su and Zhang Hong, there are also some disciples of other big families, and they may not be as famous as Lu Su and Zhang Hong.

"You've come just in time. Zigang, this is Langya Xiang. ”

"Langya turned out to be a woman......"

Zhang Hong couldn't help but be moved.

Xia Liang smiled slightly: "If there is a big chaos today, Xuzhou Mu is only talented, regardless of gender, why is Zigang surprised?" ”

"Forgive me for the gaffe."

At this time, Zhang Hong, who had just taken office as the governor of Langya, understood that Xia Liang had become his boss, and he had to integrate into the power of Xuzhou Mu and adapt to the culture of Xuzhou.

Even people from a family have to make certain compromises in troubled times.

Especially Chutian holds the military and political power in Xuzhou, and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses obey his orders, so they really don't have to give much face to the local family.

If there were no talents from other dynasties, Chu Tian might have to keep a low voice to the local family, and if there were talents from other dynasties who mastered the soldiers and horses, the local family would not dare to be aggressive.

When Chu Tian heard that the first batch of ships heading for Dongying Trade was about to depart, he nodded in approval. For overseas trade, Chutian attaches great importance to it.

In order to recruit troops and buy horses, no matter how much money is not too much, there are ways to obtain gold and silver, Chutian has tried.

Zhang Hong asked: "Dongying, is it the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"It's the Wa Kingdom. This dispatch of merchant ships to Hirado Castle in the Wakuni Kingdom was not only for trade, but also for the first time to use teleportation arrays to shorten the voyage and find a sea route to Hirado Castle. ”

In summer, it is cool to support Chutian to peek at Dongying.

Trade is often accompanied by war.

In the long history, there have been countless wars on the land and maritime Silk Road.

Behind the merchant ships, warships were often followed.

"The Japanese people are few and remote, and the land is barbaric, why do you want to trade with the Japanese country?"

"Zigang didn't know that the population of the Wa Kingdom was one-tenth of that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was equivalent to one or two large states. There are also Iwami silver mines, which produce a lot of silver every year, so if they can sell special products, they can get 10,000 taels of gold and silver or even 100,000 taels of gold and silver from the Wa Kingdom every year to replenish military resources. ”

Chu Tian patiently explained to Zhang Hong, one of the important ministers.

The quality of the Wenchen of the Eastern Han Dynasty is good, but the only pity is that they do not know much about and attach importance to the world outside the sea.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Chu Tian uses a part of the players to fill the vacancies of officials in various places.

The player's desire to expand the territory is much stronger than that of the local scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The scholars relocated to their land, as long as the interests of their own families were guaranteed.

After hearing this, Zhang Hong was thoughtful.

"This is the construction drawings of the sixth-level building ship, you send someone to Qu County to see if there are qualified shipwrights. If there is a boatman who can build a ship, there is a reward. It seems that the building boat is only suitable for inland waterways and offshore use......"

Chu Tian took out a blueprint of the building boat in his arms and handed it to Xia Liang.

This is an additional architectural blueprint obtained by completing the "Koto Two Sheets" achievement.

"Yes."

Cool in the summer took the drawings and went down to arrange.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong, on the orders of Chutian, went non-stop to Qu County in the East China Sea Kingdom, joined Xu Sheng, and prepared to lead the Fubo Army to attack Qingzhou from the waterway.

"Zigang, you and Miss Xia are going to get acquainted with the affairs of Langya Kingdom."

Chu Tian intended to cultivate Zhang Hong.

At present, the most familiar with the internal affairs of Langya are none other than Chutian, Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, and Xia Liang, Chutian and Fang Xuanling often go on expeditions, Li Kui is currently serving as the minister of Xiapi in Xiapi State, and after the summer is cool, maybe she may be pregnant, and someone will always take over the internal affairs of Langya State.

In Guoqu County in the East China Sea, the Fubo Legion has begun to take shape.

When Chutian suppressed the princes of the Quartet, Xu Sheng never appeared, because he made every effort to recruit sailors, soldiers, and sailors in Guoqu County in the East China Sea, and urged the shipyard to produce 400 ships such as sea ships, fighting ships, warships, and walkers, and form the Fubo Legion.

Xu Sheng from Soochow cooperated for the first time with Zheng Zhilong, the ship king at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Qingzhou Zhao Gongzi did not have the ability to develop a water division, and his power developed too late. In the face of the Fubo Army in Xuzhou, the coastal areas of Qingzhou were in vain.

"What the lord wants us to attack is Donglai County and force Zhao Gongzi to divide his troops."

Xu Sheng received the first task after the establishment of the Fubo Legion.

This time, the Fubo Army went on an expedition, and Chutian appointed Xu Sheng, who was older, as the main general, and Zheng Zhilong, who had not yet made many military achievements, as the deputy general.

At the wharf of Qu County, dozens of large merchant ships were preparing to go to Dongying's Hirado Castle to trade, and Mi Zhu, who was good at business, was sent by Chutian to preside over the matter.

Mi Zhu is just unfamiliar with Dongying, but he has the talent and talent to do business, and once he is familiar with the local situation, it is easy to mix with the daimyo and merchants of Dongying.
