Chapter 823: Intervention
Zhao Mingyang's tent is very large, but not spacious, because there are a lot of sundries inside, mainly books and documents, but it is particularly clean.
The so-called good wine is the second pot head of later generations, but it is indeed a good wine for the grain wine of this era, and Zhao Mingyang did not lie, this wine was specially brought to Zheng Zhilong by Lu Wang, and the strong wine can make this kind of warrior enjoyable.
Banquet informal banquet, after all, it is only in the afternoon, which is equivalent to drinking a little wine and bragging, so there is no big dish in the dish, simple boiled peanuts, cut beef, braised eggs, and served with two pots of heads.
Zhao Mingyang naturally didn't have the time to find Zheng Zhilong to drink and talk nonsense, and Zheng Zhilong of course also understood this truth, both of them are straight and real people, so as soon as the simple greetings and polite glasses of wine passed, they began to get to the point.
"Commander Zheng, my subordinates have followed you all the way from Wenzhou to here, and they haven't caused you any trouble, right?" Zhao Mingyang said with a smile on his face.
"When you say this, you will see the outside, and then your military discipline department is not looking for trouble" Zheng Zhilong laughed and then said, "But I support you in looking for trouble, which will make my subordinates maintain self-discipline."
"Just wait for Commander Zheng's words" Zhao Mingyang smiled and glanced at several of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates: "Let's be clear, let's be happy, to put it bluntly, we are all working for Daming under the command of the God King, and we can go hand in hand, is Commander Zheng right when he says this?" ”
"Director Zhao is still not straightforward enough" Zheng Zhilong smiled slightly, took a peanut and put it in his mouth: "We not only have to drink it happily today, but also have to talk about it."
"Good! Just for this sentence, I salute Commander Zheng", Zhao Mingyang said, picked up his wine glass and stood up to toast to Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong smiled silently, raised his wine glass and drank it all, and then made a gesture of please.
"Whether it is a combat unit or a local garrison in the Ming Army, each team has people from the Military Discipline Department stationed in it, the purpose is to supervise and supervise all kinds of violations of law and discipline, although the navy is an independent army, but it is also subordinate to the Ming Army, so this is no exception," Zhao Mingyang sat down and said seriously.
Zheng Zhilong nodded expressionlessly.
"Because of the previous major reorganization of the navy, the situation was more complicated, and the God King told the Military Discipline Department not to intervene too much, so although my subordinates followed you all the way north from Wenzhou, they hardly interfered."
Zheng Zhilong nodded again.
"Now the thieves in the south have been pacified, and the Qing army in the north has surrendered ......"
"What? The Qing army has surrendered? When was this? Zheng Zhilong, who had always had a flat expression, interrupted Zhao Mingyang's words with a look of surprise in an instant: "I remember that when Director Zhao first came three days ago, the Qing army was still ......."
"Yes, when I came from Jinzhou, the Qing army was still fighting with us, and when I arrived here, they had been counter-surrounded, and just this morning I received the latest information, the Qing army has surrendered, and Huang Taiji is under house arrest in Beijing."
Wow, Zheng Zhilong and his subordinates immediately shouted, with all kinds of surprised expressions on their faces.
"The God King really lives up to his name" The expression on Zheng Zhilong's face was speechless, to be honest, he had only seen Lu Wang once, he had heard all kinds of legends before, but he didn't believe it, after seeing it with his own eyes, the two had a deep chat for a day and a night, of course, Lu Wang was also released in this way in this process, just to bewitch this big pirate.
But even so, Zheng Zhilong is still half-convinced of Lu Wang's immortal identity, perhaps because he has seen too much of the world.
But even if this guy has some doubts about the identity of the Luwang Immortal, but the means and results of the war are here, and in less than a year, the civil war has been leveled against foreign humiliation, and now he has overturned the biggest foreign enemy of the Qing Dynasty, which really makes him a capital suit.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of Zheng Zhilong and the others, Zhao Mingyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he needed this effect, so that he had enough confidence in the face of a person with a strong aura like Zheng Zhilong.
"To get back to the point, the civil war and external humiliation have been pacified, although the navy did not participate, but the next move of the prince must be known to Commander Zheng, and at that time the navy will be the main force, so I spared such a bend to tell Commander Zheng that the military discipline department is going to meddle in naval affairs, in addition to supervising the law and discipline of the army, it will also recruit people in the army, help with training, and so on."
Zheng Zhilong, who had recovered his composure from the surprise of the surrender of the Qing army, smiled slightly: "The bend is a bit big, but in fact, there is no need, it is justifiable for the Military Discipline Department to meddle in military affairs."
"Naturally, it is justified, but the navy is different, you and I, including the God King, know that the backbone of the navy is almost all your people, and it is equivalent to your private army when it comes to points, I am a guest at this door, so let's say hello to the master" Zhao Mingyang smiled.
"Director Zhao, don't give me the hat of raising a private army and plotting against me" Zheng Zhilong also laughed, and his subordinates also laughed, but the smile was different, and there was a very embarrassing look.
"The people in the Military Discipline Department are not blind or deaf, but they are definitely not this Commander Zheng who holds the sky with one hand, please rest assured" Zhao Mingyang is not a joker: "I mean so much, Commander Zheng also understands, that is, once the people from the Military Discipline Department are stationed, they may be disgusted by your subordinates." There will even be resistance in dealing with some people and things that violate the law and discipline."
"Oh, Director Zhao will deal with it impartially!" Zheng Zhilong nodded indifferently.
"Of course, it will be dealt with impartially, that is, because it will be dealt with impartially, it is possible to be disgusted or even resisted, so I will say hello to Commander Zheng in advance, and if it is resisted, the Military Discipline Department will deal with it with thunderous means."
"Wow, scare people" As soon as Zhao Mingyang's words fell, Yang Qi couldn't help but pout, but Zheng Zhilong was still expressionless.
"If you don't believe it, welcome to try!" Zhao Mingyang didn't speak, it was a person next to him who spoke, Yingchun, the head of the Yantai Navy Office of the Military Discipline Department, and a confidant of Zhao Mingyang.
"The Military Discipline Department has really not eaten and lived in vain in the past few months, and the pile of materials over there is not a blank sheet of paper," Ying Chun sneered and looked at the pile of debris behind Yang Qichao and pointed at it.
"Damn, who are you scaring about...... Yang Qi, Yang Liu, and Zhong Bin are all brothers who wear a pair of pants, especially Yang Liu and Yang Qi are still brothers, so they naturally come out together.
"Sit down!"
Zheng Zhilong frowned and snorted, Yang Qisan glared at Yingchun and snorted coldly and sat down.
Zhao Mingyang smiled: "Commander Zheng, I'm not wrong."
Zheng Zhilong was also laughing, and he also raised his wine glass to Zhao Mingyang: "I once told my subordinates that since I followed the God King, I would abide by the rules of the God King, but the ugly words are also ahead, if they have violated the law and discipline, I will never protect the Military Discipline Department, but if it is a malicious attack or something like that, then I, Zheng Zhilong, will also have a thunderous blow like Director Zhao."
Zheng Zhilong said this seriously, and Zhao Mingyang nodded when he heard it; "Commander Zheng, don't worry, if that situation really happens, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to strike a thunderbolt, because there is still the Military Judge Advocate Office staring at the Military Discipline Department."
"Oh, that's good!" Zheng Zhilong smiled slightly.
"So, we're on an agreement now?" Zhao Mingyang raised his glass and got up, as did the subordinates behind him.
"Of course, go hand in hand and serve the God King" Zheng Zhilong and his subordinates also stood up, picked up their wine glasses, and the two groups of people clinked glasses to each other and drank them all.
At this point, it was equivalent to opening the window, and since the two gangs of bigwigs had reached a consensus, their respective subordinates were not so tense, and the atmosphere had become milder.
"I'm here Director Zhao and I'm here in person, dare to ask which great god of the God King Sect in the south" Zheng Zhilong asked with interest.
"To tell the truth, I came here just to lay the foundation, and the navy will have its own independent military discipline department, although it is also under the management of my side, but it is self-contained" Zhao Mingyang said slowly: "Before I came, the prince had already made my words clear, and also asked me to communicate well with Commander Zheng, as for the south where Zhao Hu went, do you know this person?" ”。
Zheng Zhilong laughed when he heard this; "Naturally, I know, one of the two sharp knives in the Lingkun Island base, how could one of the vice marshals of the Navy not know, in other words, the God King really looks down on my little boy, and sent this henchman over."
Hahaha, Zhao Mingyang laughed: "Zheng Chenggong is your own son, it's normal for the prince to have no son to arrange a confidant, and Vice Marshal Zhao will be the person in charge of naval discipline in the future."
"The child is young and vigorous, I'm afraid hehe......" Zhilong said with a wry smile and shook his head.
"Otherwise, the God King once praised Zheng Chenggong, saying that the times create heroes, and as long as there is power sometimes, he is destined to be a hero." Zhao Mingyang said lightly.
"The God King, that's a prize!" Zheng Zhilong said modestly.
"Don't worry about Commander Zheng, didn't you send a few right-hand men to assist Ling Gongzi, there are so many rock-solid figures, and you are still worried about what trouble Ling Gongzi can cause."
"I hope so" Zheng Zhilong shook his head lightly and looked at Zhao Mingyang and suddenly smiled: "I remember that Director Zhao said that he was in Jinzhou before, but he didn't think that he knew so much about the things here and even in the south, and even the people I sent to assist the children were so clear, and the Military Discipline Department was worthy of its reputation."
Hearing this, Zhao Mingyang also smiled, and it was a particularly confident and proud smile; "Commander Zheng, maybe you don't know that the largest department under the jurisdiction of the Military Discipline Department is engaged in intelligence, and you are not the highest person in charge of the Intelligence Section."
"Young Talent!" Zheng Zhilong smiled, and didn't want to dwell too much on this topic: "Inquire about something, before I came, I heard that the prince was preparing a sea ship to go to sea in Hangzhou, when was he going to leave?" ”
"It's already gone! Just a few days ago! Zhao Mingyang looked at Zheng Zhilong: "The commander is a master at sea, the prince should ask you a lot."
Going to sea so soon, Zheng Zhilong was a little surprised, he still remembered that when Lu Wang told him about this a few months ago, the goods were being purchased, and the ship was still being built, and it could almost be said that he owed everything except Dongfeng, but he didn't expect that it would only take long to set sail in the blink of an eye.
But when it comes to going to sea to do business, Zheng Zhilong laughs, together with his subordinates, he can't control that sense of pride at all, after all, people have walked through the south and the north, although they dare not say that all the lakes and the four seas have swam and swimmed, but in the glorious years of the year, the scope of trade was wide and covered all parts of the East and South Seas: Da Ni, Hun, Champong, Luzon, Long Gang, North Port, Dayuan, Hirado, Nagasaki, Mumbai, Banten, Old Port, Batavia, Malacca, Cambodia, Siam, it is estimated that the strength of the army is: including Han Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Austronesian language family, With a military strength of up to 200,000 people of all races, including black Africans, and a fleet of more than 3,000 large and small boats, it has become the only power in the maritime world of East China and South China.
And you must know that the Ming Dynasty was during the sea ban period, that is to say, unlike those maritime merchants in other countries who had this official background, he was a maritime overlord who was completely achieved by the power of the people, and he also regained the dominance of the sea more than 200 years after Zheng He, so this is really not a half-starry cow, it is a real bull fork!
"To tell the truth, the prince also asked me a lot about the sea navigation and sea trade business, at that time I proposed to send my subordinates to assist the sea trade, but the prince refused, in his words, soldiers are soldiers, merchants are businessmen, each is the best in its own position, he wants to cultivate a group of his own maritime business team, so just from me to ask for some relations Zheng "Zhilong said proudly.
Zhao Mingyang smiled: "Some interpersonal relationships, right, if I guessed correctly, it should be Li Guozhu and your second son Tagawa Shichizaemon."
Zheng Chenggong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Director Zhao is quite good at joking, you didn't guess, you should have investigated it a long time ago."
"It's really not from the investigation, these are what the prince once said to me, you know that the prince is a god, and he knows thousands of years down to five hundred faces...... "Zhao Mingyang started again.
However, Zheng Zhilong and the others listened very carefully and enjoyed it with relish.
"By the way, Commander Zheng asked me to give you something" After half a ring, Zhao Mingyang suddenly remembered something, and actually walked to the table behind him and took out a delicate small box and handed it to Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong took it with some curiosity, opened it, and was stunned, there was a golden brand in the box, six seal characters on the front of the Ming Navy, and a Zheng on the back! It's clear that this is his identity card.
"And this" Zhao Mingyang handed over another box, and inside was a white jade seal, Zheng Zhilong's handsome seal!
Sure enough, Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed, with a golden waist card in one hand and a handsome hand on his face, you must know that when he was awarded the commander of the Navy by Rwann on Lingkun Island in Wenzhou, he only had a letter of appointment stamped with Rwan's seal, and now the golden rice bowl for dinner has just been delivered.
"Thank God King" Zheng Zhilong expressed his gratitude.
"By the way, Commander Zheng, your subordinate ranks, official positions, and other military discipline departments will be reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs after they are registered, and the official seal of the back card will be sent after the approval of the above" Zhao Mingyang's words actually mean two things, first, although you are the commander of the navy, but you have no right to appoint, this is the same as the army, and each general's appointment is either approved by the Ministry of Military Affairs or approved by the God King, and the second is to let your subordinates not worry, the ID card will be dropped.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong understood, and hugged his fist at Zhao Mingyang: "There is Director Lao Zhao."
"Don't stand still, Commander Zheng, let's continue to drink and talk......"
"Okay, okay, let's drink, by the way, Director Zhao, where is the God King now?"
