Chapter 844: Zheng Zhilong

"Please also ask Your Majesty to show that as long as this person is in my Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei will have a way to dig him out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Luo Yangxing's recommendation of Tang Ruowang just now made Li You quite happy, so he couldn't help but become more and more enthusiastic about such a thing, and hurriedly assured that Cao Huachun on the side was also not to be outdone.

"This person is called Song Yingxing." Li You was desperately collecting his information in his mind, "This person... This person may have been promoted now, but he should not have been admitted to the Jinshi, this person's attainments in the scriptures and meanings are not enough, but he is quite talented in many miscellaneous studies, if he can be invited to the capital, he will definitely reuse. ”

"Since it's already a lifter, then go to the Ministry of Rites and check the roster of lifters in various places to find clues." Luo Yangxing is worthy of being from the Jinyi Wei family, and his reaction is faster than Cao Huachun, and he immediately thought of a suitable plan based on the information revealed by Li You, "The list of the Ministry of Rites will definitely record his hometown, origin, and father, and then according to these, he can send capable people to his hometown to find it." ”

"Okay, with a talent like you in charge of the Jinyi Guard, I can finally rest assured." Li You praised a few words, tickled Cao Huachun's jealous teeth on the side, and secretly made up his mind to go out from here for a while to personally go to the Ministry of Rites to check this person, and he must dig out Song Yingxing in front of Cao Huachun.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the reason why the displaced people were everywhere, and the increasingly serious land annexation was one reason, those Donglin Party who were born in the rich land of Jiangnan tried their best to evade Jiangnan's responsibility to the imperial court for their own selfishness, and threw the bulk of the liao salary to the barren land in the northwest, causing the local people to live in poverty Another reason, of course, the arrival of the Xiaoice River period led to a large reduction in grain production is also a very important reason, the first two problems are put aside for the time being, this last problem must rely on corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other high-yield crops to solve, So it would be great if everyone like Song Yingxing was proficient in agriculture.

You must know that corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other things are not now without entering the Ming Dynasty, the reason why they have not been promoted on a large scale, the people around the country are still relatively unfamiliar with these crops is one aspect, and the other aspect is because the seed degradation of potatoes and sweet potatoes has not been solved, and occasionally the people who try to plant see that the yield of these crops is getting lower and lower year by year, of course, they are not willing to continue farming, and these problems will be solved by Song Yingxing.

The search for the above-mentioned personnel is to solve the problems of science and technology, but it is not enough for Zhongxing Daming to rely on these, and now the civil officials in the court and the merchants and landlords in various places have long become a monolith, and they unite to constantly encroach on the interests of the imperial court, so new forces must be introduced to check and balance them.

"Go and inquire, now on the sea, in addition to Zheng Zhilong, there are those people who are more powerful, make a list, find a way to invite them to the capital, and say that I want to recruit them." Of course, Li You will not let these pirates be good people, but as long as he knows that they have a certain amount of power, and they do not deal with the current civil officials and gentry in the court.

These people want to be recognized by the imperial court in order to obtain an upright identity and more benefits, and Li You also wants to use them to balance the civil system of the imperial court and use overseas trade to change the existing economic pattern of the Ming Dynasty, so the two sides do have a certain basis for cooperation to a certain extent.

Of course, Li You will not relax his vigilance against them, of course he will build Daming's own fleet, anyway, there are many more advanced shipbuilding drawings in his tiger talisman, but it will take time, and before that, they can only be controlled through interests and contradictions between various pirates.

"Zheng Zhilong was appeased by Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, last year, and was canonized as a guerrilla general of the Five Tigers by the imperial court, but this person has always been cautious, and I am afraid that he will not dare to leave Fujian easily; Right now, Zheng Zhilong is attacking Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin and others, these people have been cornered by Zheng Zhilong, and they may be able to recruit them. This time, Cao Huachun found an opportunity to perform, but he had heard a little about this matter, and hurriedly reminded him.

"It doesn't matter, Zheng Zhilong is not a brother? He didn't dare to come himself, so he asked him to send a few of his cronies over. These people are risking their way to sea just to seek money, as long as I can give them enough benefits here, I don't believe they won't take the bait. "If you are a pirate and robber, do you have to be a maritime merchant to make money quickly?

This matter was decided, of course, it would be a long time before they found these pirates and reached an agreement to bring them to the capital, and before that, it was the most important thing to deal with Huang Taiji.

"Okay, that's it, the most important thing at the moment is to inquire about the news of Jiannu, investigate the movements of Guanning and Dongjiang Town, and collect evidence of the Jin merchants' betrayal of the country, followed by the matter of finding people, contacting Zheng Zhilong and others can be slightly delayed. Go down and get busy! Li You made a final summary of today's meeting, "The most important thing is that these things must be kept secret, if there are few rumors leaking, I want your heads!" In the last sentence, Li You showed his momentum from the sea of corpses and blood without any scruples, which frightened Luo Yanghe and Cao Huachun like rain, and their tremors trembled.

"Slave maid/micro minister obeys!" Luo Yanghe and Cao Huachun knelt down at the same time to receive the order, and successively promised that they would definitely handle this matter well.

The Beijing camp probably can't be counted on, and now the Ming Dynasty still has combat effectiveness, I'm afraid that only the Guanning Army, the Dongjiang Army and the southwest Baipole Soldiers are a small part of the troops, but these people have their own interests, and I am afraid they will never completely obey Li You's orders.

Especially the Guanning Army, Li Chengliang led 8,000 families across Liaodong to earn him a great wealth, but also played a very bad example, since then the soldiers for the generals, deducting military salaries to support the family has become a very common phenomenon in the Ming army, which is extremely bad for the Ming court, a soldier for the generals to make these soldiers become the private property of the generals, these generals of course understand that these soldiers are the foundation of their wealth and status, because in the face of war try to avoid their soldiers from being damaged, How can you win a war like this?

Second, the support of the family made the combat effectiveness of the army decline rapidly, and the generals threw their salaries, armor, and weapons into the cultivation of the family, and the ordinary soldiers could not even eat enough, so the army of 1,000 people could finally have nearly 100 family members who could be worthy of a war, and the rest could not even be cannon fodder.

What's more important is that the Guan Ning army can now enjoy the wealth brought by millions of Liao salaries without fighting, and they still have a desperate desire to build slaves, perhaps maintaining the status quo is the best choice for them.
