Chapter Seventy-Seven

Shen Guangzuo was only stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"You are a usable person, but you are willing to work as an errand in the political envoy's yamen!" What kind of temper and ability his nephew is, he naturally knows it as an uncle. This idea was definitely not conceived by the nephew, and it was probably in the head in front of him.

At a young age, you can have this scheming. It seems that he is a scholar again, and his future is limitless. At this time, if it is not under the wings, it will be when.

"My lord! The villain was saved by Lord Mao, and once swore allegiance to Lord Mao. "Li Xiao's nonsense will come as soon as he opens his mouth, and the ghost is willing to mess with you as a political envoy. Now it's not Lao Tzu who is messing with your nephew, it's your nephew who is eating and drinking with Lao Tzu now.

"In that case, tonight, the old man will introduce you to Admiral Chen." Shen Guangzuo said it with confidence!

Tonight, officials in Shandong will attend a welcoming dinner for Sun Yuanhua, the new governor of Denglai. As an official, connections are very important. This kind of welcome ceremony, as long as it is not a major event for the dead father and mother in the family, will generally come to participate.

As the leader of the Shandong Water Army, Chen Hailong will naturally come.

Shen Guangzuo gave Li Xiao and his entourage a courtyard to live in the political envoy's yamen, which was very close to Shen Guangzuo's back house.

"Brother Xiao! Are we really going to trade these heads for silver? Those who are officials are all Pixiu, and Chen Hailong is even more of a person who can't walk when he sees silver. If you let them take the money, I'm afraid it's hard! "The fifth master has been to Shandong several times and knows the officials in Shandong very well.

Chen Hailong is in Shandong officialdom, which is notoriously greedy. There are 1,000 people under him, and he dares to report 2,000 posts.

People's greed is a family tradition, and his father Chen Liang is a generation of huge greed. But his father can finally fight, when the Battle of Luliang was in the past. His father was the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, and the Satsuma elite of the Shimazu family was completely lost in that battle.

Chen Hailong can only be greedy but can't fight, relying on his father's name to become a naval commander in Shandong. The biggest credit on weekdays is to contribute to the economy of Shandong! To put it bluntly, it's smuggling!

"It's okay, we don't have to be short of money and we don't have to ask for his money. We only need ships, large cargo ships that can transport things. It's better to have battleships! It's too slow to build, and we need to have a ready-made ship. The boat is the purpose of our visit to Shandong! ”

"You kid seems to be holding back again, and you're addicted to it. This time in Golden State, a lot of things had to be burned before they had time to be moved. Lao Tzu also feels a pity! Ao Canghai lay on the bed, lifting the futon from time to time to look.

I'm used to sleeping on the kang in Liaodong, and I'm really not used to sleeping in bed now. Especially when the body moves, the sound of the bed "crunching" and "crunching" makes people have a very dirty association.

"If you grab something, you have to burn it. Who the hell is not tempted, if we want to develop in the future, we have to rely on the support of Shandong. It's very useful to make good friends with the officials on the ground in Shandong!

In the future, your musket team will have to recruit troops in Shandong. With the few people on the island, I can't pick out how many people are suitable. ”

At dinner, Ao Canghai and the fifth master drank a little wine, and they didn't dare to drink too much to do things at night.

When he first arrived, Shen Guangzuo sent someone to invite Li Xiao. Li Xiao hurriedly took Ao Canghai and the fifth master and followed the people to Shen Guangzuo's study. There were two people sitting in the study, one was Shen Guangzuo, and the other was wearing a military attache uniform. Don't think about it, this must be Chen Hailong, the commander of the Shandong Navy Division.

"I've seen the political envoy, I've seen the admiral." Li Xiao saluted the two of them one by one.

"Lord Shen, this is ......!" Chen Hailong glanced at Li Xiao and found that he didn't know him. The fox looked at Shen Guangzuo suspiciously, not knowing what he was going to do when he asked him to come.

"This little brother is the nephew of the official, the praise of Mao Wenlong, the capital of Liaodong. I'm here to discuss something with the Admiral! Shen Guangzuo smiled and let Li Xiao sit down.

Chen Hailong saw that Li Xiao actually had a seat in front of Shen Guangzuo, and immediately paid attention. It's not anyone, there are seats here. To have a seat at least proves that he has the capital.

"Lord Admiral and Brother Xiao will talk first, and this official has some mundane affairs." Seeing Li Xiao sitting down, Shen Guangzuo bowed his hand to Chen Hailong and retreated.

Sure enough, it is an old fox who has gone through the sea of eunuchs, and he wants to take advantage of this kind of thing and doesn't want to be fishy.

"The Admiral is entangled in official duties, and the boy is going around the bend. A few days ago, our Lord Mao attacked Jinzhou in eastern Liaodong and beheaded more than 500 Tartar soldiers. ”

"Oh! That's to congratulate Master Mao, but what does this matter have to do with this official? Chen Hailong said with an arrogant expression.

Liaodong's big victory, what is the matter with Guan Laozi's Shandong Water Division?

"It's okay? My Lord Mao wants to give these heads to the Admiral, how can you say that these credits have nothing to do with you? ”

"No merit is not worth it! What do you want? ”

"Rejoice! Joyfully! It is a pleasure to talk to the Admiral, three large ships of 3,000 materials. ”

"Now that Liaodong has fallen, at this time, military exploits can indeed be appreciated by the saints. It's just 500 heads, and you want three big ships with 3,000 materials, which is a bit excessive. Besides, who knows if you are a good person or not? If the first level is reported and found out by the Ministry of War, Lao Tzu will not be able to eat and walk around. Chen Hailong looked at Li Xiao and sneered, and was about to stand up and leave.

Being able to sit down and talk has already given Shen Guangzuo face. Now that the face has been given, patting the ass and leaving is the best policy.

"Lord Admiral is too anxious, the boy hasn't finished yet. Not only do you need three big ships with 3,000 materials, but you also need one warship with 2,000 materials. Li Xiao ignored Chen Hailong's disdainful gaze and said with a smile.

"Humph!" Chen Hailong sneered, not even bothering to speak. In the past few years, there have been too many things to kill good and risky people, and he didn't believe that with any unpopular Dusi, he could actually kill five hundred Tartar soldiers. If they can all fight like this, can Liaodong still lose it?

"In addition to the five hundred dead heads, we can also give two hundred live mouths to the Admiral!" After Li Xiao's words were finished, Chen Hailong, who was about to walk to the door, immediately stopped.

The dead and the living are completely different things, and killing the good and the good can only kill the person. This living person can't take the risk, and when he opens his mouth to speak, he misses everything. This proves that Dusi, who is called Mao or something, really killed 500 Tartars. And 200 were captured alive!

Now the entire Liaodong is about to be lost, and the Ming army is being defeated and retreating. If such a credit is counted in his own head, ...... he can at least be promoted to one level as an admiral. In the heart of the saint, he will also remember his name.

"Is that true?"

"The boy has a few heads that dare to coax the Admiral, as long as you give the boy four ships. The boy will give you five hundred Tartar heads, and two hundred living mouths. It's just that when the Admiral repays the merits. It is necessary to mention the political envoy Lord Shen, who is responsible for the central scheduling. After all, people are Chinese, what do you say? ”

"You kid is a character, I want to see people first."

"No problem!"
