"Is this the next treasure ship of the Three Treasure Eunuchs of my Ming Yongle Dynasty?"

Wu Rui looked at the sky-high giant ship in front of him, he had always been cold, and for the first time he couldn't help but exclaim.

He was born in the land of Sanqin, Shaanxi, and then followed Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to conquer Mobei, not to mention this kind of giant sea ship in his lifetime, even the inland river ships still followed Shen Yichen out of the town of Fujian, and saw a lot on the Grand Canal.

The story of Zheng He's voyage to the West has been widely circulated among the people, but there are very few people who can witness the next giant ship with their own eyes.

Wu Rui has heard of the enormity of the next sea ship countless times, and when the real giant ship appeared in front of his eyes, it still far exceeded the boundary of imagination!

"No, the treasure ship is bigger than that!"

Shen Yichen responded silently, and the giant ship in front of him made him feel a sense of pride and pride in his heart.

That's why, even though Daming has all kinds of shortcomings, Shen Yichen still chooses to stand on the side of the court to turn the tide.

Because in this era, only the Ming Dynasty has the possibility of conquering the four seas!

"And huge?"

Hearing Shen Yichen's answer, Wu Rui opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a while, he couldn't describe the impact he received.

The sentry on the boat standing on a high place saw Shen Yichen's convoy coming, and immediately notified the county commander Xu Fengyuan. Before Shen Yichen and the others came to the riverside, Xu Fengyuan had already quickly led some officials from Changle County to line up to greet them.

"The lower official is happy to know Xu Fengyuan of the county, and he led the county officials to greet Admiral Shen!"

In private, Xu Fengyuan can call Shen Yichen Brother Shen, but on the bright side, he absolutely has to maintain the dignity and orderliness of officialdom, not to mention the huge difference in the official positions and identities of the two sides.

"Don't be too formal, the official is urgent, and there are important orders."

Shen Yichen had to rush to the camp of Fuzhou Sanwei, and he didn't have time to engage in officialdom red tape.

After all, compared to Xu Fengyuan, an absolute confidant, Shen Yichen, the third guard of Fuzhou, was completely relied on to kill Dou Yi's prestige. This kind of thing is useful for lower-level soldiers, and it is far inferior to the exchange of interests for upper-level generals.

Of course, except for the famous generals who have real feelings for their family and country.

"The lower officials understand, Admiral Shen commands."

For Shen Yichen's thunder order, Xu Fengyuan is naturally very familiar, and the surface greeting ceremony has been done, and the next thing is to do the right thing.

Hearing that Xu Fengyuan was going to give his own direct orders, Shen Yichen glanced at the other officials in Changle County, and asked softly, "Are they reliable?" ”

"These officials are all their own people supported by the lower officials, and Admiral Shen is assured that he is absolutely reliable."

"Okay, then I'll be blunt."

Shen Yichen nodded and continued: "Xu Xianzun, the official of the righteous army has preliminarily negotiated the conditions for recruitment, and there are only some follow-up matters to be resolved. ”

"There are still doctors for this batch of medicinal herbs you transported, and when the leader of Xia Ye will send someone to receive them, and at the same time distribute them to help the rebels, by the way, try to publicize the merits of this official, understand?"

Doing good deeds without leaving a name is completely inapplicable to officialdom, not to mention that Shen Yichen originally had the idea of taking the lower-level route.

It is necessary to let every rebel know how their herb materials came from, and who helped to save this life, Shen Yichen didn't want the fruits of his hard work and victory to be picked by others.

After all, Deng Maoqi is also a good hand at winning people's hearts.

"Admiral Shen rest assured, this point has already been entrusted by the lower officials."

"Okay, another part of the herb doctor will be assigned to arrange for people to go with me to the camp of Fuzhou Sanwei."

"Fuzhou Sanwei?"

Xu Fengyuan still knows more about the situation of the rebel army, but Fuzhou Sanwei doesn't know at all, what Shen Yichen is going to do.

"Don't suffer from inequality, you must let them feel the attention of their officials!"

The news that the two armies were facing each other to transport medicinal herbs and materials could not be concealed.

Shen Yichen was in a hurry, so he could only ask Feng Zhengdai to rectify his military affairs, relying on the financial and material resources of Fuzhou Prefecture, as long as the superior had a heart, the soldiers of the three guards in Fuzhou could basically get good treatment.

However, after all, this is not Shen Yichen's own work, and now he is transporting medicinal herbs to the "enemy", it is easy to have dissatisfied thoughts in the army, and Shen Yichen must take precautions.

In a sense, the three guards of Fuzhou are the forces that Shen Yichen rightfully controls, and without their allegiance as a military backing, the ambitions of the righteous army such as Deng Maoqi are not so easy to suppress.

"Xiaguan will arrange people to go to the Sanwei camp in Fuzhou with Admiral Shen."

After solving the puzzle, Xu Fengyuan didn't say anything, and immediately gathered the sergeants and sailors on the ship, transported some medicinal herb materials to the station of Fuzhou Sanwei, and Shen Yichen and others also went forward.

The fleet was not far from the camp of Fuzhou Sanwei, because the two sides had already been in contact early on, and they relied on each other to form a corner and set up camp.

Like the officials of Changle County, after the acting commander Feng Zheng learned the news of Shen Yichen's arrival, he also led the generals of the three guards of Fuzhou and stood in front of the camp gate early to wait, for fear of any slackness.

Compared with Shen Yichen's first inspection of the military camp in Fuzhou City, at this time, the Fuzhou Sanwei camp has undergone a qualitative change, the military appearance has been completely renewed, and all kinds of fortifications are neat and tidy, and they are on guard according to wartime standards.

"The last general will wear armor, and Admiral Shen can't give a big salute for forgiveness!"

After Feng Zheng finished saying this, he led the three guards of Fuzhou who were wearing armor and stomach, and saluted Shen Yichen with a brush.

"Very good, this is the spirit of my Da Ming Tiger Ben!"

Of course, Shen Yichen didn't care about such a thing as saluting, on the contrary, he couldn't help but praise when he saw the changes after Feng Zheng rectified military affairs.

No matter what camp Feng Zheng is in, at least this person has some real skills to govern the army.

"Feng Weisi, you don't need to stand at the gate of the camp, let's go first."

Shen Yichen's explanation of Xu Fengyuan's matter was just some simple material distribution, and the deployment he wanted to discuss with Feng Zheng was a matter of military secrets, so it was naturally impossible to talk about it publicly.

"Admiral Shen, please enter the camp."

Feng Zheng turned sideways and made a gesture of please, and Shen Yichen strode into the barracks with his head held high.

At this time, the main road of the camp was two plates, and it was already full of Fuzhou Sanwei soldiers who had learned the news and came to greet them. When they saw Shen Yichen appear in their sight, almost everyone had an excited look on their faces, sweeping away the previous low morale!

After seeing this scene, Shen Yichen also stopped his steps, came to a young soldier, stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder and asked.

"How old are you this year?"

Maybe this soldier didn't expect Shen Yichen to ask him questions at all, and he was stunned for a moment before replying, "Seventeen." ”

"A few years younger than this official."

Shen Yichen smiled kindly at the other party, without any official pretensions.

"During this period of time, can the Chinese medicine be in place, and the arrears of food and salary can be made up?"

"Yes! Fuzhou City sent doctors and herbs, and the arrears of food and wages had been made up until last month. ”

Hearing the young soldier's answer, Shen Yichen glanced back at Feng Zheng.

Originally, Shen Yichen was appreciating the other party, but Feng Zheng and the others who were following him couldn't help but feel a fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Fortunately, he has seriously rectified his military affairs during this period of time, in case he learns from his predecessor, the dead ghost Dou Yi and leaves it alone, I can't imagine how Shen Yichen will ask for guilt!

"The Great Age of Genes"

"When this battle is over, this official will increase the salary of each brother for half a year, and you will not sweat and shed blood in vain."

Hearing Shen Yichen say this, the three guards of Fuzhou present could be said to be boiling instantly.

In this era, many military families actually do not have much awareness of the righteousness of the country, and they only serve as soldiers to earn money and support their families.

Half a year's military salary can not only solve the urgent needs of many military households, but may even save the lives of a family at a critical moment.

"Thank you, Admiral Shen!"

"Admiral Shen is wise!"

"I am willing to die for Admiral Shen!"

All kinds of exciting cheers overwhelmingly hit, and Shen Yichen, who already had a high reputation among the three guards in Fuzhou, had reached a peak at this moment.

However, this kind of scene was placed in Feng Zheng's eyes, and he felt that there was something wrong in his heart.

Obviously, it was himself who asked for the doctor's herbs from the Fuzhou Political Secretary, and it was he who received the military salary from his father-in-law. As a result, Shen Yichen won the expectations of everyone with a few simple words, is the prestige gap between people so big?

And you said that the imperial army is like this, from the latest military information, even the rebels in Quanzhou City have been persuaded to recruit An, and many miners and furnace men are still looking at Shen Yichen.

If Shen Yichen is a relative of the emperor, Feng Zheng really wants to say that this is the destiny of heaven!

Feng Zheng's cranky thoughts in his mind were quickly interrupted by his subordinates: "Wei Si, Admiral Shen has entered the Shuai tent, should we follow?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Feng Zheng replied angrily, and then hurriedly walked into his tent, seeing that Shen Yichen was already sitting on the main seat directly above.

"The morale of all the generals in the camp is high today, it seems that Feng Weisi has been quite effective in rectifying military affairs during this period of time, and this official really did not see the wrong person."

"Admiral Shen praises falsely, this is a matter within the last general!"

"Feng Weisi is too modest, and he has made great achievements in rectifying military affairs, and this official will write down this merit."

Shen Yichen has always been a person who must be rewarded for meritorious service and punished for his mistakes, Feng Zheng's performance in rectifying military affairs has exceeded his previous expectations, and this person can be useful.

"The last general thanked Admiral Shen!"

With a clear promise of rewarding meritorious deeds, Feng Zheng was instantly emotional, not weaker than ordinary soldiers outside.

Even the complaints about the lack of money were temporarily suppressed. As long as you can get Shen Yichen's appreciation, a small difficulty in money is nothing, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to grit your teeth and hold on!

"Feng Weisi, after inspecting the barracks, this official will return to Fuzhou City to discuss the matter of recruiting security with Gonggong Xi. Although the situation is now stable, you must not take it lightly and maintain a threatening posture against the rebels at all times. ”

"Admiral Shen rest assured, the soldiers and horses of other state guards in Fujian are on the way to come in a steady stream at this moment. The last general will definitely form a net of heaven and earth, and will never let the rebels occupy an inch of land again! ”

The big words of officialdom, Shen Yichen just listened to them, and he didn't take it seriously with a polite smile.

As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as the morale of the Fuzhou Sanwei is normal, it is very difficult for 10,000 heavily armed regular troops to exterminate the 100,000 rebels, and it is more than enough to defend themselves, not to mention that reinforcements from other state capitals are still on the way.

The two sides are in a state of parity, which is the balance scene that Shen Yichen wants to see the most.

"Today's inspection saw that Feng Weisi's arrangements were in good order, and the official was indeed relieved."

"This time I returned to Fuzhou City, and this official will join forces with Gonggong Xi to ask the imperial court to officially appoint Feng Weisi as the commander of Fuzhou Wei, as a reward for fulfilling his duties."

Hearing Shen Yichen say that he wanted to go to the court to help him "turn positive", Feng Zheng stood in place in a daze, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

You must know that he, the acting commander, was only temporarily appointed by Shen Yichen as a commander, and he was not promoted by the military selection and Qing Officials Division at all.

To put it mildly, as long as Shen Yichen is happy, he can change someone at any time.

But now Shen Yichen is willing to join forces with the overseer Xining to invite the imperial court, and with the identity and authority of the two of them, it is almost a sure thing to appoint them.

Happiness came too suddenly, and it wasn't until his subordinates reminded him that he should thank him, and Feng Zheng reacted. Ignoring the obstruction of the armor, he fell to his knees and shouted loudly: "The grace of Admiral Shen's promotion, the last general will be unforgettable, and I am willing to follow the work of dogs and horses!" ”

This is the first time that Feng Zheng has clearly expressed his loyalty to Shen Yichen since he served as the acting commander. For the vast majority of civil and military officials, the direct reward of money and power is far better than empty public righteousness.

Feng Zheng's reaction was expected by Shen Yichen, and he was promoted from a commander to a guard commander, which was undoubtedly the speed of the rocket's promotion.

The reason why Shen Yichen gave such a rich sweetness was that he needed Feng Zheng to complete a finishing job at a critical moment.

"Feng Weisi, although this official will ask the imperial court, you have not yet made an inch, and it may be a bit unjustifiable to rashly promote you."

Feng Zhenggang was excited for a few seconds, but when he heard Shen Yichen say such a sentence, his heart instantly cooled in half.

So he hurriedly remedied: "The matter of counterinsurgency is at the command of Admiral Shen, and the general will definitely go to the soup to fight the fire!" ”

"Feng Weisi's intentions and officials naturally know, but the matter of quelling the rebellion cannot be rushed, otherwise it will ruin the imperial court's plan to recruit security, and if you want to make meritorious contributions, you have to find it elsewhere."

Feng Zheng is not stupid, he has already realized that Shen Yichen's method of wanting to capture himself is to manipulate himself. However, the temptation of the Wei Commander is too great, as long as he can sit in this position, it is worth paying the price.

"The last general is stupid, please make it clear to Admiral Shen!"

"This official has received news that there will be a group of Japanese robbers attacking Fuzhou Mansion in the near future, Feng Weisi is prepared in advance, and it may be necessary for you and other soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy at that time."

Shen Yichen couldn't let the imperial army deploy Fuzhou Mansion in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to instruct the Japanese to kill Song Zhang in front of so many officers and soldiers. In the same process of exterminating the Japanese invaders, it is impossible to go to the imperial court to do it by the rebels, which is simply outrageous.

And for the merit of exterminating the Japanese, Shen Yichen still has to show his credit to the imperial court, which may be second only to the merit of counterinsurgency, how can he give it to others?

Therefore, Shen Yichen needs Feng Zheng to lead the Fuzhou Sanwei to finish, and then ask for merit from the Shangshu Imperial Court in an open and honest manner, and while eating meat himself, he can give Feng Zheng a sip of soup to make meritorious contributions.

Of course, this soup is not drunk in vain, once Feng Zheng chooses to agree, it means that he will become a person on his own boat, and he will understand what to say and what not to say.

The exchange of interests in officialdom is a science, and now Shen Yichen is becoming more and more familiar with it.
