"In Xiafu, Senator Chen first met the commander."

Still by the sea, Zheng Zhilong waited for a man in his thirties who was wearing a court official robe.

Fujian Senator, not big or small official.

"Sit down."

Zheng Zhilong pointed to the side of the low table, where a bamboo stool was added for Chen Xian.

The latter thanked him and dropped half of his ass.

"In terms of the purpose of coming down, I guess the young commander has already told the great commander."

"yes, I know." Zheng Zhilong picked up a small teapot and tasted it carefully, such a slow and logical attitude made Chen Xian a little uncertain about Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, so he could only speak first: "I want to ask the meaning of the Grand Commander." ”

Zheng Zhilong ignored him, only cared about drinking tea by himself, and waited until Chen Xian was a little restless before speaking.

"Drink tea."

"Uh, okay, tea." Chen Xian held a teacup in both hands, but he couldn't drink it when he put it to his mouth, and stared at Zheng Zhilong with a pair of eyes, waiting for the latter's next words.

After half a cup of tea, Zheng Zhilong could be considered to be down to business.

"Zhao'an, is it the meaning of the imperial court or the meaning of Xiongdu Yushi?"

"It's the meaning of the imperial court."

Chen Xian hurriedly put down the teacup and sat upright: "Of course, Xiongdu Yushi also hopes that the general can accept Zhao'an and prevent the resumption of war in Minhai." ”

"It's not impossible to recruit An."

A smile appeared on Chen Xian's face.

"I want Yu Zhigao's head."

Chen Xian was stunned.

Zheng Zhilong sat up straight, and his sturdy torso put pressure on Chen Xian: "Yu Zhigao is always against Lao Tzu, I fought the Dutch for our Daming, and he actually ran to conspire with the Dutch to kill me together."

This is a traitor, a traitor, everyone will be punished, I want his head, send his head over first, let's talk about it, otherwise, don't even talk about it. ”

Chen Xian's face suddenly turned embarrassed: "Yu Zhigao is the chief soldier of Fujian after all. ”

"I don't care who he is!" Zheng Zhilong waved his hand: "Without his head, there is no need to talk, the war will continue to fight, wherever I fight, I will move the people to Taiwan, and then it will be a big deal for Lao Tzu to split the soil in Taiwan and become the king."

Don't you like to call Lao Tzu pirates, and in the future, you will shout anti-thieves and rebels, whatever you want. ”

Chen Xian had no choice but to stand up: "This matter will be reported to the imperial court when I go back next." ”

"Go ahead." Zheng Zhilong returned to the recliner: "Also, next time I come, I will talk to someone who can call the shots, don't always waste time by reporting back and forth, I don't have much time here, and I will go back to Taiwan soon." ”

Chen Xian didn't say anything more, and then left.

Regardless of whether Zheng Zhilong's attitude was bad or not, at least he was relieved.

Zhao'an is promising.

Shaanxi, General Military Office.

Hong Chengchou waited for ten days and finally waited for the imperial court to approve the recital, but there was only one recital.

I don't have any money or food I want.

This made Hong Chengchou's heart fall to the bottom in an instant.

Along with this letter came a hundred households who claimed to be the Spiegel Division.

Spiegel?

When did the imperial court have such a yamen?

Hong Chengchou didn't know, but he didn't bother to ask, he only cared about when his money and food would be available now.

"Your Majesty's dictation, if General Hong can exterminate Zuogui and Miao Mei within fifteen days, the imperial court will be able to allocate the money and food that General Hong needs."

"Fifteenth? How is this possible! Hong Chengchou immediately questioned: "Don't say that there is no money and food, even if I, Hong someone, have money and food in my hands now, and I don't even have time to reorganize the army, how can I pacify Miao Zuo and the others, this is simply impossible." ”

Baihu smiled slightly: "The humble position is only responsible for passing the word, how to do it, whether to do it or not is what General Hong needs to consider, and there is another sentence in Your Majesty's words." ”

"How?"

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court had allocated 300,000 taels of silver and 200,000 stone military rations to Shaanxi, but this money and grain disappeared after arriving in Shaanxi.

If General Hong is in urgent need, he can go to Liu Guangsheng, the governor of Shaanxi, and Hu Ting, the governor of Shaanxi, and the imperial Shi Hu Ting, maybe the two of them know where to go, and when the time comes, they will find this money and food, and General Hong will have the ability to send troops.

When the time comes, with General Hong's ability, are you still afraid that you won't be able to extinguish the evils? ”

After saying this, Baihu hugged his fists and bowed away, without dragging the mud and water, leaving Hong Chengchou with an uncertain face.

It wasn't until Baihu walked away that Zhang Xianzhong, a personal soldier who had been asked by Hong Chengchou from Wang Wei, came over.

"General."

"Loyalty." Hong Chengchou glanced at Zhang Xianzhong: "What do you think about this." ”

Zhang Xianzhong lowered his head: "Your Majesty's dictation, where does the villain dare to talk about it." ”

"It's just talking about your own thoughts, not talking about it."

Zhang Xianzhong dared to speak: "It is impossible to exterminate Zuo Gui and Miao Mei on the 15th. ”

"Well, I think so too." Hong Chengchou nodded: "Your Majesty gave an impossible task, so the reason for doing this is not to complete it, but just to justifiably not give us money and food."

But His Majesty said that a sum of money and grain disappeared in our Shaanxi, what do you mean by Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said. "Your Majesty knows that our Shaanxi army is short of money and food, so you want us to find a way to raise it ourselves, and Futai and Du Yushi must know where this money and food go.

At that time, Lord Futai also said that he would raise money and food for the general, but there has been no movement until now, so it can be seen that this money and food has entered the pockets of some people, but if you want to take it out, it seems to be a little difficult. ”

"Shall we help?"

"Your Majesty sent someone to bring an edict instead of a warrant, it can be seen that Your Majesty no longer believes in Futai and them, but is trapped in the absence of a reasonable excuse, and Your Majesty wants you to do this matter, General."

Hong Chengchou then exclaimed: "I heard that you have done head catchers before, you are so talented and quick-witted, and you are really talented to be a head catcher." ”

After a pause, there was a sigh again.

"Your Majesty has Your Majesty's thoughts, we have the difficulties of being courtiers, I am only the chief soldier of Shaanxi, or the acting officer, Futai They are all the peaks of this general."

Zhang Xianzhong then walked around to Hong Chengchou, bowed to the ground on his knees, and said: "If the general trusts the villain, this matter can be handled by the villain." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"During the period when the minister was a head catcher, he knew some strange people in the rivers and lakes, and he was good at forging handwritten letters, as long as the general gave the villain a handwritten letter to Futai, a court edict covered with a jade seal, and the villain would do the rest for the general."

Hong Chengchou closed his eyes: "Forging the holy decree is the sin of the Nine Clans." ”

"If the general does not give His Majesty the authority, His Majesty will not allocate money and grain to Shaanxi, and the General will not be able to exterminate the Zuo Miao Second Department within 15 days.

Your Majesty can only trust the General if he is honest and loyal to His Majesty! In order to ignore the fault of the general's inability to exterminate the rogue, as for the forgery of the holy decree, His Majesty will not pursue it, and who in the world knows. ”

Hong Chengchou stopped speaking and waved his hand.

Zhang Xianzhong got up, hugged his fists and left, and when he turned around, a trace of bloodthirsty excitement flashed in his eyes, but Hong Chengchou didn't notice it.
