Ming Zuo

Chapter 575

When the envoy of Ming Dynasty came, Zong Yicheng reported it immediately.

When Daming came to trade, Zong Yicheng took over.

Regardless of whether the Tokugawa shogunate allows it or not, he will do this business.

If the shogunate agrees, then do it openly.

If the shogunate disagrees, then do it quietly.

Tsushima Island is poor in resources and it is not easy to survive. If there is no business, the only way is to starve to death.

Zongyi's achievements in his previous life were discovered by the shogunate because of his secret trade with North Korea, and the suzerain was almost abolished.

He has the courage and determination to revive Ma Fan.

"The glass that Mrs. Zheng sells is in short supply. I wonder if your envoy has any supply?"

Zong Yicheng was very greedy, and asked for glass trade as soon as he came up.

Liao Zhongjian refused on the spot and made it very clear.

"Zheng Shi allows me to trade with Tsushima Fan in Shandong, but glass is not included. I don't think the name master wants to provoke Zheng Shi, does he?"

Zong Yicheng was a little disappointed, but he could accept it.

Where Zheng's strength lies, he can't afford to mess with it.

If you can't do any business because you offended the Zheng family, it will be a big loss.

"In this case, the quantity of cotton cloth and cotton socks needs to be increased."

Although the clocks, leather shoes and other products brought by Liao Zhongjian were exquisite and luxurious, Zong Yicheng paid more attention to the cotton series of products.

Commodities are always the mainstream in any trade.

After all, there are only a limited number of rich people in Japan. Good things like clocks and leather shoes have limited customers and cannot be sold.

Cotton is different.

People need this thing, and the market is endless.

The cotton cloth brought by Liao Zhongjian is of high quality and cheap, far from being able to compare with the coarse cloth of Japan.

Once introduced to the market, it is bound to flock to it.

Cotton socks can be regarded as an accessory product of cotton cloth. Because they are comfortable to wear, Zong Yicheng believes that the market will be very good.

For his request, Liao Zhongjian has nothing to do.

The trade with the Tsushima Fan is actually just incidental on the Shandong side.

What Shandong seeks is a smooth passage through the Tsushima Strait.

The cotton cloth produced in Songjiang Prefecture has been sold overseas.

However, in the past, it was only sold to Southeast Asia, and Zheng's would also sell some to Japan, but not many.

With the implementation of the industrialized production model, the production of cotton cloth in Songjiang Prefecture has increased significantly. After the price of cotton cloth has been suppressed, the extra products are also worrying about sales.

Although Shandong is a big consumer of cotton cloth, it doesn't use that much.

It is also good to be able to open up one more market.

"Cotton cloth is available in everything, as much as the owner wants, it will be delivered in two months."

Zong Yicheng did not believe it.

"How about [-] horses?"

Liao Zhongjian stretched out his palm.

"It's a word."

A small sample, just [-] pieces of cotton cloth, Shandong's storage is more than that.There is no need to transfer goods from Songjiang Prefecture now, and Shandong can satisfy the transaction.

....................................

Since the Kong family was settled, the Dongjiang rebels were useless.

Shandong, which is in turmoil, should also be stabilized and rebuilt.

With Zuo Menggeng's order, the new army quickly mobilized and began the final siege of the Dongjiang rebels.

After fleeing Qufu, the Dongjiang Army was stationed in Zou County.

Knowing that the new army was attacking from the east, north, and west, the Dongjiang army had no choice but to flee south along the official road.

They originally thought that this time the new army was still advancing steadily, giving them a chance to escape calmly.

However, in fact...

"Report, the enemy army has reached twenty miles away, and cavalry has been spotted in Wangjiazhuang in the northeast."

Kong Youde couldn't help panicking.

"Why did it come so fast?"

Geng Zhongming frowned.

"There's something wrong with Zuo Menggeng."

Mao Chenglu was the least willing to fight the new army since he survived a shot last time.

"Go fast, go fast."

Kong Youde also didn't want to fight the new army, so he quickly ordered all the ministries to speed up the march.

But what the rebel generals didn't know was that the new army was already in a state of rapid march at this time.

"Tell all the ministries to start fighting when they bite the rebels. There is no need to wait for orders or reinforcements. The rebels will never dare to stop fighting. Who can achieve what results depends on their own abilities."

Zuo Menggeng was in the second army, but he gave orders to all the troops.

This time, more than [-] people from three divisions were used to deal with the Dongjiang rebels. It could be described as a lion fighting a rabbit. He didn't believe that the Dongjiang rebels could withstand this thunderous blow.

Give an order, and all the departments of the new army immediately feel like they have been beaten with chicken blood.

"Listen to me. If anyone runs slowly and misses a piece of meat, I will tear off a piece of meat from him. Who are we? We are the first army, of course we have to be the first. Order , Speed ​​up, speed up again, we must seize Yishan tonight and bite the tail of the rebels."

Bai Xiaoqi is fierce and domineering, and his orders cannot be doubted.

But the generals below are even more ruthless.

"Tell the big guys to ditch unnecessary luggage and travel light!"

Lou Fu personally helped push the cannon and gave up his mount to the mortar.

As a teacher, he set an example, and everyone else followed suit.

The speed of action of the third division suddenly increased a lot.

The infantry began to trot all the way, running southward at high speed.

This is true of the first army, and even more so of the second army.

For a moment, dust and smoke billowed on the land of Luxi, and several armies bit the rebels like soaring dragons.

"Is Zuo Menggeng crazy?"

The scouts sent the general situation like flowing water, and all the rebel generals were frightened.

They thought their marching speed was fast enough, but the new army pursued faster.

"What should we do? But it's only fifteen miles away. As long as we catch our breath, we will be bitten."

The rebel generals did not know that marching is also part of the quality of the army.

In their army, there are too many impostors, and they also carry a lot of wealth. In addition, there is no strict organization and discipline, so no matter how fast they can go.

The new army is completely militarized. Once it takes action, it gallops like a tiger and leaps like a dragon, approaching the periphery of the rebel army like an arrow.

"General Mao Shen, you go and delay for a while. No matter what, you have to block for a few hours."

Facing the enormous pressure, Kong Youde had no choice but to send someone to stop him.

Otherwise, they would have to be overtaken by the new army before today.

In his opinion, Mao Chenglu is the most suitable person to fight against.

Because Mao Chenglu's subordinates are all cavalry, it must be more convenient to go than infantry.

Although he knew that it was dangerous to attack, Mao Chenglu also knew that no one could do it except himself.

"Also ask the commander-in-chief to prepare food and fodder ahead to meet our troops."

Kong Youde agreed.

"Although rest assured, I will reserve a team in Teng County to cover your withdrawal."

Mao Chenglu felt relieved, gathered [-] cavalry in his headquarters, broke away from the brigade, and headed towards the new army behind.

I heard that the infantry of the new army are all running forward, and the formation is loose. Maybe they have a chance to break in and massacre.
