Chapter 111 Tear down the door and move the bed to raise military salaries, and go to the meeting alone to persuade the thieves to surrender
Yin Zhengmao's corruption was done because he wanted to pay military salaries privately, and the reason why he refused to explain to Zhang Juzheng was because the crime of paying military salaries privately, once established, would be much more serious than corruption!
What is the crime of raising a private soldier, that is a rebellion! That's secession.
But Yin Zhengmao, who was based on the practice of practice, could only do this, and he couldn't say that he thought that after the end of the war between Liangguang and Guangzhou, he would be hidden in the snow, after all, the thieves had been beheaded, the phased war had ended, and if there was another war, it would be a headache for the governor later.
For his fate, Yin Zhengmao has actually been prepared for a long time, how many times has the drama of Lianggong been staged over and over again in this land?
After finishing the short-term task of saving the time, Yin Zhengmao thought that he was going to end his career, but suddenly, the imperial court gave him a new task, and it was a long-term task, Luzon.
Yin Zhengmao knew very well that the imperial court decided to use troops against Luzon to solve an urgent need, that is, the group of proud soldiers and fierce generals under his command had a place to settle.
"Raise the account!" Yin Zhengmao slapped the table and began to summon the generals to raise their tents and prepare to fight!
Kill the red hair, the two Guang flag soldiers are very professional!
Zhang Yuanxun, the general soldier of Guangdong, Li Xi, the general of Guangxi, Zhao Kehuai, the deputy envoy, Liu Zhiyi, the political staff of Lingxi, Shi Pan, the general Liang Shouyu, and the general Deng Zilong rushed to the governor's palace one after another.
Yin Zhengmao's door to the Governor's Mansion is particularly heavy, because he pressed all the doors of the Governor's Mansion on the door, every time he opened and closed, six or seven people had to push it together, and every layer of the door was written with words, but all the powerful and wealthy households who had been demolished once and refused to donate, Yin Zhengmao came to the door again, and it was not as simple as tearing down the door.
So far, Yin Zhengmao has not met a gentleman who has refused to donate for the second time.
"Yin Butang, let's come here in a hurry, are you going to demolish someone's house again?" Deng Zilong was the youngest and asked with a smile.
Yin Zhengmao said quite seriously: "Silence! There is a decree in the Holy Order. ”
When everyone heard that the holy decree had arrived, they all looked awe-inspired, and knew that the time had come to unload the mill and kill the donkey.
In fact, Zhang Yuanxun and Li Xi, the commanders of Guangdong and Guangxi, have hinted to varying degrees that Yin Zhengmao can keep some of the widows, so that they can keep swaying the widows.
For example, Lin Afeng on Nanao Island can keep the self-respect, and the imperial court will not be able to unload the mill and kill the donkey.
Some things, the blame is here, the more desperate and serious to pacify, the more will fall, be liquidated, and even be attacked, the more they will suppress the more, raise their own respect, relax their defense against favoritism, but can last for a long time, such as Wang Chonggu of the Jin Party and others.
When the Japanese were making trouble, which of these powerful people in the extreme south dared to say that Yin Butang should not be forced to donate, and which dared to ask someone to impeach Yin Butang for corruption?
Now that the Japanese are peaceful and Guangdong is safe, the wind of impeachment has risen, and the voice of corruption in Yin Butang is getting louder and louder.
Now, there is only one Lin Afeng left, no matter whether the court wants to suppress it or not, Lin Afeng has already made it clear, he is going to run away, can't he hide if he can't beat it?
Fan Cheng, the admiral's minister, shook off the dust and said loudly: "The local military general in Guangzhou will receive the order. ”
All the officials immediately knelt down and waited for the ministers to announce the decree.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:"
"I am Liang Youchong, the first to ascend to the position of the great treasure, Yuanfu Suyan has a talent and strategy, and he is responsible for the stability of the extreme south, if this is the case, the good news of the ministry is frequent, the southeast gentry congratulate him, and the governor of the ministry leads the generals and other officials, and they make every effort to drive and suppress, and the service period is destroyed, and I am very pleased."
"The first emperor's dictatorship, supplemented by the strategy of folding and rushing, I dare not disobey, and still order the ministry to preside over the extreme south, and its place is appropriate.
"The official has no accumulation of years, the people have no strategy to guide profits, the ministry is appointed to the southeast, the Guangxi official movement is set up, the law is observed, the rewards and punishments are clear, the work is calculated, the official ship is built, the precautions are taken, the time limit is limited, the smugglers are prohibited, the duties are clear, and the beginning is cautious, and the military salary is filled with its interest, and the comprehensive and detailed management is detailed, and the military needs are not scarce."
"The ministry is impartial and disciplined, and it is merciful, and its dethronement and greed, suppression of arrogance, punishment and relaxation, and rejection of joints, the wearer is in the opposition, and the jealous is in the court, everyone says that the ministry demands too much, I and Yuan Fu discuss the words of the minister, I don't think so, there must be hardships, and I will ask again when the ministry returns to Beijing."
"Today, the commission has the important task of the ministry, and still hopes that the ministry will defend the great disaster and achieve great success for the country, and raise the vitality of the country, so that the extreme south will be stable and long-lasting."
"There are strict wings, the uniform of the common force, the uniform of the common force, and the uniform of the common force to determine the kingdom."
"Chin this."
Fan Cheng, the internal official, came to supervise the army, he went to Guangzhou to pursue the principle of three nos, no interference, no more talking, no interference, Fan Cheng is very clear about his own catties, on the situation of Liangguang, that is, Yin Zhengmao in just four years, can completely wipe out the Japanese invaders.
"The generals are discussing, and we won't say more." After Fan Cheng handed the holy decree to Yin Zhengmao, he directly turned on the hidden mode without saying a word, unless Yin Zhengmao rebelled, Fan Cheng would not say bad things about Yin Zhengmao.
Put down the bowl and scold her mother, Fan Cheng can't do it anyway.
Li Xi looked at Yin Zhengmao and said with a frown: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this big bunch of crepes?" ”
Yin Zhengmao is a Wen Jinshi, of course he can understand, and explained with a smile: "This first paragraph means that Your Majesty heard that we are very capable when you ascended the throne, and Yuan Fu also said so, and the good news is frequent, Your Majesty is very happy, and we are very appreciative of the extermination of the Japanese as scheduled, without delay." ”
Yin Zhengmao also thought that he would be in exchange for a Zhu Kun's fate and commit suicide, but he was highly praised by His Majesty.
"And then?" Deng Zilong then asked.
Yin Zhengmao said with a complicated face: "The second paragraph reiterates the dictatorship of the first emperor, in the fifth year of Longqing, when I came to Guangdong, didn't the first emperor give me the right to make an exception, act appropriately, and sue if someone obstructs me?" Your Majesty means that I will continue to organize out of the ordinary, and take care of the military, government and finances. ”
This power is very big, big enough to directly intercept the two Guangxi fiscal taxes and not give them to the imperial court, but for their own use, in order to level the Japanese, Yin Zhengmao did use it, but last year he wrote that the big war was done, and the spring and autumn taxes were still sent to the imperial court.
General Liang Shouyu asked, "And then?" ”
"The third paragraph says that we have done the salt method, and His Majesty and Yuan Fu both think it's good, let us continue to do it, and the salt method is still used for military salaries." Yin Zhengmao said with a smile.
Yin Zhengmao is a first-class strong, and he is also a good hand at governing the place, he is a Wen Jinshi, even if he personally leads the troops to fight, the painting style is not quite right, but his own job is to be a herdsman.
Yin Zhengmao took out the Guangdong salt, which was monopolized in the house of the powerful man, and sold it to the official office, and the salt was carried by the military household banner soldiers, with a total of 300 salt ships, each ship with 350 bags, of which 50 bags were military salaries, and the remaining 300 bags belonged to Guangxi, which could get more than 70,000 taels of silver every year.
Yin Zhengmao didn't take a penny of this money, and gave it to Guangxi, Guangdong, and military households, and the magistrates of Guangxi Prefectures saw Yin Zhengmao, just like seeing the God of Wealth.
If the imperial court is poor, isn't the local yamen poor? The local yamen is even poorer!
"Ah, I thought that the court was going to take back this money, but did this give us money again?" Li Xi said in surprise.
Deputy Envoy Zhao Kehuai asked worriedly: "What did Your Majesty say about the gentleman's impeachment of our corruption?" ”
After Yin Zhengmao heard this, he was silent for a moment and said: "In the fourth paragraph, Your Majesty said that we are doing a good job in Liangguang, working outside, and the jealous people are in the court. ”
"Yuanfu sent a letter saying that I should be less greedy, it seems that I will not ask for the time being, and I will talk about it when I return to Beijing, it is really Your Majesty's intention."
Deng Zilong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said, "Doesn't that mean that we can tear down the door again?" ”
Zhang Yuanxun, the chief soldier of Guangdong, looked at Deng Zilong and said angrily: "I think about tearing down the door all day long!" Why don't you bring their bed back? ”
"What a great idea! Great idea! Deng Zilong slapped his thigh when he heard this, and said loudly: "It's still the governor of the capital, there are many ways, next time, move the bed!" ”
Yin Zhengmao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, that's what it means, do it first, and explain it clearly after returning to Beijing, let's continue to calm the widows." ”
"The back is a poem from the Book of Songs, which means, be strict and careful, take the enemy army seriously, and make our country stable."
"Isn't this widow all settled? Where else to go to Pingwa? Zhang Yuanxun said helplessly.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that after killing the Japanese invaders, they should find a way to settle these recruits, so many arrogant soldiers, not to mention the high cost of raising, and it is easy to make trouble, and if you are not careful, the place will be bigger.
"The DPRK has given us an errand, look, here." Yin Zhengmao pointed to the position of Luzon and said: "There are red-haired fans entrenched in Luzon, if they are packed up and stationed on the spot, not only to expel the red-haired fans, but also to defend this place where the sea pond is thousands of miles away." ”
"Because it involves gold, silver, copper, iron oil and other major events, we must not take it lightly."
"There is a shipyard there, and we want to bring back the documents inside, which is what the imperial court wants."
Zhang Yuanxun shook his head and said: "It's not easy to fight, it's a tough battle, the red-haired fan drove the Luzon people to be the pioneers, at least more than 10,000 people, and its elite has more than 1,000 people." ”
Deng Zilong clenched his fists and said, "Are we afraid of a tough battle, or are we more afraid of not fighting?" ”
Yin Zhengmao looked at Deng Zilong and replied exactly: "I'm even more afraid that there is no fight, the days of licking blood from the knife edge are all over, and more than 3,000 arrogant soldiers and soldiers cannot be scattered, and they all become pirates when they are scattered, and it is the most uncomfortable to fight without a fight." ”
"In order for us to gnaw on this hard bone, the imperial court asked us to recruit Lin Afeng, let Zhao'an's Haikou explore the way, and made miraculous achievements, then pardon his crimes and place them in Luzon."
When Zhang Yuanxun heard this, the gloom on his face immediately dispersed, and he said with a smile: "The imperial court really planned to attack Luzon, not to kill people with a knife. ”
Zhang Yuanxun thought at first that the imperial court let them attack Luzon, but there was no place to place arrogant soldiers and exile overseas, but in fact, he was a little disheartened, for the sake of national stability, this fate is really chilling, but he can't say it clearly.
But after listening carefully, the imperial court even arranged for the people who went to explore the way first, and all Zhang Yuanxun's doubts dissipated, and the imperial court really let them go to war and really give policy support, instead of empty words and white teeth, and threw them arrogant soldiers overseas to fend for themselves.
Deputy envoy Zhao Kehuai said with emotion: "What's wrong with the Ming princes in the court? Why did you suddenly get the hang of it and want to restore the old country of Luzon. ”
"At the beginning, the red-haired fan destroyed Manraka. The prince of Manraka entered Beijing and cried, and the court also issued an edict to let Hongmao Fan withdraw from the army and return the land to Manraka, and there was no follow-up. ”
Yin Zhengmao thought for a while, frowned and said: "The imperial court wants to open the sea, Hongmao Fan is the opponent, they cross the ocean, rampant, naturally want to suppress their power on the sea, due to fate, this battle must be won." ”
Deng Zilong took the initiative to ask Ying to open his mouth and said: "I will first go to Nanao Island to persuade Lin Afeng to surrender, and then personally go to Luzon to investigate the enemy's situation!" ”
Zhang Yuanxun said with a smile: "What, didn't you participate in the matter of breaking down the door and moving the bed?" ”
It's not just Zhang Yuanxun who is smiling, almost everyone has a smile on their faces, because they have received a long-term task, which means that they will be together for a long time.
For persuading Lin Afeng, there is already an established charter, and Deng Zilong is the one who went there in person.
Deng Zilong laughed and said: "There is a war, who still does such a tasteless thing?" I'll leave the matter of tearing down the door and moving the bed to you. ”
"Then General Deng will take a trip." Yin Zhengmao restrained his smile and said: "This battle is far away, Guangzhou Mansion to Luzon is at least two thousand miles, and across the ocean, to open a breakthrough in the local area, and then gain a foothold, and then step by step with the red hair fan, this every step is difficult." ”
"Our first dilemma now is that we don't have enough firearms, just like the original Hongmaofan."
Yin Zhengmao knows the red hair fan very well, and the inherent impression is that the first ship of the red hair fan to the South Seas is not armed to the teeth, full of artillery, firearms, armed merchant ships or warships like hedgehogs, but a kind of spinnaker four-masted ship, this kind of small sailing ship, loaded with cargo can not be loaded with artillery.
At that time, the red-haired fans would not fight easily at all, but used various means, or bribery, or coaxing, or forcible occupation, to cut a piece of land.
Yin Zhengmao said solemnly: "At that time, what did Hongmao Fan do when he didn't have a strong ship and a cannon? ”
"They controlled the port and trade by building forts and forts near the trade ports, and obtained supplies, and we found that the forts only needed a hundred to three hundred men to defend against an attack of three thousand to five thousand."
"Therefore, our goal in the first phase is to establish a stronghold, our cargo ships, where we can go to these places to transport all kinds of raw materials and resources back, change soldiers, and send supplies."
"When we are on land, we are the advantage, we have a steady stream of supplies, we have experienced veterans of a hundred battles, we have the people to provide capture, we understand the landscape, we can formulate tactics in an orderly manner, and we can cooperate with many parties to fight."
"But at sea, we are strangers, and without the right time, place and people, the battle will be extremely difficult."
"This war... We have to be prepared to lose. ”
"Don't take it lightly, killing the enemy is the greatest respect for the enemy!"
Yin Zhengmao stood up and said loudly: "The Ming army is mighty! ”
"The Ming Army is mighty!" All the generals stood up and shouted loudly.
At the beginning of the Great Voyage, the combat method was to defend instead of attack.
Such a strategy is embodied in the acquisition of land near the port by various means; Build a fort as fast as you can; Do not enter the interior for more than five miles, and ensure that the troops are evacuated to ships or fortresses at all times; Because of the trade winds, the time zone for the arrival of ships at the port was fixed, and the fortress had to be held until the supply and change of guard soldiers arrived;
The most important thing was to pre-produce everything that could be used in large quantities, including bed crossbows, firearms, cannons, bows and arrows, gunpowder, and even window frames, processed stones, and all kinds of machinery.
And now the tactics of the red hair fan with the continuous maturity of armed merchant ships and warships, the tactics have also changed, because of the trade winds, the arrival time is fixed, the attack of the red hair fan has changed from the past simple defense instead of attack, to the tidal wave attack.
With the development of firearms and army building and the enhancement of combat effectiveness, the distance to the inland has gradually expanded from five miles to dozens of miles, and the substitution of defense for attack has also become the substitution of offense for defense.
Therefore, the plagues in Guangzhou, Fujian, and other places mainly show the characteristics of a kind of extermination and pacification, and the next tide is surging.
Blindly defending, setting up coastal defense, and establishing camps and forts along the coast can resist the Japanese invasion, but it cannot be cured radically, and without sea power, coastal defense is a hypocritical proposition.
Yin Zhengmao repeatedly talked about how to eradicate the plague in Guangzhou, and to find a way to restore control of Malacca, which is the Jiayu Pass on the sea of the Ming Dynasty, and only by holding Malacca can we keep the safety of the Ming Maritime Frontier.
This idea of his was not achieved overnight, but was summed up in the experience of the long-term war between the Japanese and the Japanese, and it was not new, as early as the Yongle period, Zheng He put forward such a view.
If you want the country to be rich and strong, you can't ignore the sea, wealth is taken from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea.
And now, with the change in the overall direction of the imperial court's opening to the sea, Yin Zhengmao sees hope.
"Then when Deng Zilong went to Nanao Island to persuade Lin Afeng to surrender, what we had to do was to find money to help the army." Yin Zhengmao talked to Zhang Yuanxun about the main work at hand, raising military salaries and looking for money to help the army.
Zhang Yuanxun estimated a little and said: "At least 300,000 taels of military assistance are needed, we all know that the imperial court is poor as pants, and we need to find our own way to find this silver, food, artillery, guns, gunpowder, and ships." ”
"We also need a military budget to arm and train Lin Afeng's group of pirates."
"At least thirty or fifty thousand taels of silver."
Yin Zhengmao said helplessly: "There are indeed a lot, but our powerful people in the extreme south should be happy to help, once we really take Luzon, the battlefield will be concentrated overseas, instead of leveling the widows every year, and the troubles will rise again every year, and the war will not happen in Guangzhou Mansion, the powerful people will not be able to continue to be their landlords and old wealth with peace of mind, and they will be able to go to Luzon to earn this silver back." ”
"What if they don't agree? After all, they have been squeezed for four years, and what if the oppression is too much and they don't agree? Zhang Yuanxun said worriedly.
"Then we have to tear down the door and move the bed." Yin Zhengmao spread his hands and said: "The imperial court wants me to destroy Luzon, I don't defeat Luzon, there is no way to explain to the imperial court, they don't let me have a good time, I naturally don't let them have a good time, if I don't agree to tear down the door and move the bed, then I can only turn over the old accounts." ”
Zhang Yuanxun was also happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Once Yin Butang chooses to turn over the old accounts, then they can only choose to donate. ”
Zhang Yuanxun knows too well Yin Zhengmao's means of turning over old accounts, such as the Liangguang Salt Law, such as private conversations, etc., there are many of these old accounts, when Yin Zhengmao's requirements are not met, Yin Zhengmao only needs to take out the old accounts and turn them over, and they will be satisfied.
Yin Zhengmao has never been a good person, he is a big bad guy, a bad guy who is even worse than Quan Hao.
Yin Zhengmao took out Zhang Juzheng's letter and said with great emotion: "Your Majesty specially decreed, and Yuanfu's letter also said that Your Majesty will reduce the expenses in the palace, and the tax increase on Hongmao Fan within five years does not need to be sent to Beijing to support the palace, which is the money that Your Majesty can give us to help the army." ”
"Your Majesty has given us all the support Your Majesty can give."
Yin Zhengmao is an extremely mature politician, he knows that this is not entirely Zhang Juzheng's decision, there are many categories that only the emperor can decide, such as reducing the expenditure of the palace garrison, His Majesty has given all the support he can give, it depends on their performance.
"Did Motosuke mention the situation in the DPRK and China this year?" Zhang Yuanxun asked a little worriedly: "You know, if Yuanfu falls, everything we do will be done in vain." ”
"That's the only one, don't worry about it at all!" Yin Zhengmao said with confidence: "Originally, Yuanfu was very powerful, but later His Majesty supported Yuanfu several times, and even Gao Qiyu's foolish trespass did not let Yuanfu fall, and Yuanfu can be described as a big kill in the court." ”
"We are not in the court, Motosuke should have reached some kind of tacit understanding with the palace."
"This is the first aspect, the second aspect, no one in the DPRK and China can defeat Yuansuke."
"In June of the sixth year of Longqing, the Hubu Shangshu Kingdom Guang inspected the treasury of the Jingshi, and Taicang saw that the silver deposit was 1,34,652 taels, and the annual branch officials should be 1,350,000 odd, the border salary was 2,360,000 odd, the reissue year was 120,000 odd, and the general plan had to get 5,530,000 odd silver. Counting from today's number, it is only three months. ”
"At the end of last year, there were more than 100,000 taels more than 100,000 taels in the household department, which is the confidence of Yuanfu to be the country."
Yin Zhengmao's analysis of the situation in the DPRK is more thorough and he sees it more clearly, not because he doesn't want to reverse Zhang Juzheng, but because he can't do it.
If there is no silver in the court, the government will cut the budget, and will not give officials, arrears, annual regulations, and clans to maintain the expenses of the imperial court, but last year, when the imperial court did not cut the budget, there were still more than 100,000 taels of silver left, which is very revealing.
The officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee can question Yuanfu loudly, just like people want to eat, what should you do if you change people to become a country and can't eat?
Therefore, the current situation in the DPRK is strange outside the painting style, and we are very dissatisfied with Yuanfu Dangguo, but we can't change people.
"That's right." Zhang Yuanxun finally felt at ease, and planned to continue to find the family of the powerful man, the silver of the house of the powerful man, tearing down the door and moving the bed, squeezing it will always be there.
Deng Zilong boarded the boat, it only took a day, to rush to Nanao Island, the process of persuasion requires a lot of processes, Deng Zilong needs to send a boat to communicate with the other party, before it is close to the rocket to point, then Deng Zilong can only swim back to the mirror.
Lin Afeng was invited to surrender, Deng Zilong was invited by him, once something happened to Deng Zilong on Nanao Island, Lin Afeng fled to Luzon, and he couldn't escape the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty.
After Deng Zilong went ashore, he was detained in a sack and carried into the water village after being closely inspected that he was not carrying a weapon.
Deng Zilong was not angry, and waited until he was released until the Juxian Hall of Shuizhai, the reason why he had to be put on a trap was that the Haikou of Shuizhai was also worried, this was a spy sent by the Ming Dynasty to investigate the enemy's situation.
As soon as Deng Zilong, the general of the Ming Dynasty, was released from the sack, he heard a fierce roar: "Deng Zilong, you are so bold!" Kill so many of my brothers, and dare to go to the island in person! ”
As soon as Deng Zilong appeared, the big boss, the second boss, and the third boss present found that it was indeed Deng Zilong, the general of the Ming Dynasty, and this face was turned to ashes, and the pirates also knew it!
This face is the nightmare of the pirates, and there is also a nightmare called Chen Lan.
Deng Zilong took a long time to look around, and said with a smile: "I have no unjust souls under my hands, and I am afraid of what I am afraid of for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty, to kill the enemy and fight bloodily, what am I afraid of?" But you should be afraid. ”
Deng Zilong was very crazy, so crazy that the second and third masters stood up suddenly, pulled out their waist knives and were ready to cut people! When you get to the land of the bandits, you are still so arrogant, you are simply looking for death!
Lin Afeng, the big boss, slapped the table and said angrily: "Sit down!" Before you had to enter the Kou, more than 200 ships and more than 30,000 people were knocked out in the first battle! One more word, and send it to Shenhai immediately! ”
Lin Afeng is a young man in his twenties, the Haikou is very young, few live past the age of thirty, there is no meal, life is very hard, Tai Awen is one of the few long-lived pirates, and he is only forty-two years old.
The righteousness of the rivers and lakes, the etiquette of war, etc., all have expressions similar to those of not killing the envoys, killing the envoys means that they will not die, and not killing the envoys means that there is a possibility and channel of communication.
Deng Zilong said with a smile: "This is a person who understands, arguing about who is right and who is wrong, there is no need, people, you have to look forward, let's talk about something useful, the big boss is sure to surrender?" If so, let's sit down and have a good chat. ”
Lin Afeng was silent and said, "It's a fuss." ”
Lin Afeng is not hard-mouthed, he always has to explain to his subordinates, if he doesn't say so, his Haikou is easy to understand that the big boss sold them and changed the seal.
So he can only say that the court appeased, and whether stealing is a question of stealing or not, Deng Zilong does not intend to argue too much.
There is no need to argue about right and wrong, most of the pirates in such a large group are poor coolies who are desperate and forced to become cowards, and they are forced to be cornered by taxes, grain rents, and private requests from the township, so they become pirates.
No one is born a pirate.
And standing in the position of the Ming Dynasty, it is the must of the Ming soldiers to kill the thieves and maintain the peace of the party, which is their mission as military generals.
The contradictions intensified to the point of irreconcilability, and only then did they engage in short-handed combat, and a battle was fought last year, and the result of the struggle was a complete victory for the Ming Dynasty.
"Okay, good, soothing." Deng Zilong is not a scholar, so he can't chew words, no matter what kind of statement he says, just do it.
Deng Zilong looked at the second and third masters, and asked Lin Afeng with a smile: "Do all of you agree to be appeased?" If you agree, then I can accept you on behalf of the imperial court and Yin Butang, if someone disagrees, you will discuss it internally? ”
"I'm already here, Yin Butang is very sincere."
Lin Afeng sighed and said, "Naturally, I agree." ”
At this time, the biggest problem of the Nanao Island Haikou is that there is no fresh blood, and it is still losing.
With the Ming Dynasty and Anmin going hand in hand, the poor coolies will not fall into the grass if they have a stutter, and with the great power of the Ming Dynasty, more and more people choose to flee, and the water village also has a tendency to fall apart.
The mighty Thang Long Gang, with a maximum of more than 300 boats and more than 40,000 people, is now becoming less and less.
And he has also experienced several fires, and as a last resort, Lin Afeng will not give up his nest and go to Luzon to fight for his life.
Deng Zilong said with a smile: "Then Yin Butang invited the three masters to Guangzhou Mansion for a talk, there should be no problem, I came here to show the sincerity of the imperial court, you don't have to worry." ”
"Alright, let's go."
Deng Zilong turned around quite freely, ready to leave.
Lin Afeng suddenly said, "General Deng stays." ”
"What's the matter? No, no, you won't have surrendered to the red-haired fan! Deng Zilong turned to look at Lin Afeng and said in surprise.
"That's not it, why did General Deng come in person? Aren't you afraid that we will turn our faces and not recognize people? Lin Afeng stood up and took a few steps forward, this was the biggest doubt in his heart, when his subordinates reported, Lin Afeng didn't believe it for 10,000, Deng Zilong dared to go to the meeting alone, and broke into this Longtan tiger's den alone!
But as soon as they met, it was really Deng Zilong, which scared Lin Afeng directly.
What kind of guts and courage is this!
Deng Zilong laughed a few times and said, "Haha, you don't understand it, but when you come down, you will understand." ”
"Gone."
This time Deng Zilong really left, when he left, no one dared to buckle the sack for him again, he walked through the plank road of this simple water village, walked past a group of yellow-skinned and thin-skinned Haikou who looked fierce and vicious, walked through the rotting corpses, and walked to his own boat.
It is not necessary to cover the sack or not.
Deng Zilong is not the first time to come, he has been here three times, personally landed on the island to investigate the captivity, for the situation in the water village, Deng Zilong knows more than Lin Afeng, this is to suppress the reconnaissance of the captivity.
Deng Zilong is very brave, but he is not a reckless man, he chose to come in person, nor did he make a temporary move, when he was raising the account, his blood surged for a while, but after repeated investigations, it was determined that Lin Afeng and other Haikou were really cornered.
Running to Luzon is the last desperate fight for these pirates.
Now with the help of the proud soldiers on the ground in Guangzhou, it is not a desperate fight.
However, Deng Zilong did not go back to Guangzhou Mansion directly, but went directly to Luzon, he wanted to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, determine the location of the harbor, determine where to attack, and find out the specific number and distribution of the enemy.
From Nan'ao Island to Luzon, it took less than fifteen days.
is the so-called: tear down the door and move the bed to raise military salaries, go to the meeting to persuade the thief to surrender with a single knife, predict what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition, snap! Deng Zilong is such a brave man, he was seventy years old, led the troops to charge, and died on the battlefield of the second Wanli aid to the Japanese and the Japanese. Ask for a monthly pass, woo!!!
