Chapter 190

"His Royal Highness, you must not act like this." Zhang Fu, the British public servant who had just returned to the military camp and learned that Zhu Zhanchang was acting, persuaded him earnestly.

Ma Qi, the eunuch of the founding army, added fuel to his jealousy and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Yingying is saying that what you have done is wrong, and it is not in line with his old man's wishes."

"You..." Zhang Zhong was about to draw his sword as soon as he got angry.

Zhang Fu hurriedly stopped him, the old general couldn't be fooled by such a blatant provocation.

Zhu Zhanchang looked at Ma Qi coldly: "Jianjun Ma, if you act and talk like this, I'll have to read your book."

Ma Qi hurriedly smiled: "It's Ma Qi who talks too much, and I look forward to His Highness Haihan."

Zhang Fu continued to exhort: "Your Highness, now having a business relationship with Jiaozhi is equivalent to collaborating with the enemy. It is absolutely impossible."

The words of collaborating with the enemy are very serious. It is equivalent to accusing Zhu Zhanchang of a crime. If there is no way out, Zhang Fu would not have said that. Ma Qi looked at him with a smile, wanting to see how Zhu Zhanchang dealt with it. this matter.

"You mean I'm collaborating with the enemy?"

"I dare not!"

"Ordinary people say that there are only three things, but I only have two things here. If there is a next time, I will ask the old general to disarm and return to the field.

"Hey." Zhang Fu looked sad, bowed his head and sighed and backed out. He waved his sleeves and didn't care. He returned to the tent by himself, and Zhang Zhong followed.

"What are you doing with me? Your Highness didn't let you go." Zhang Fu glared at his son.

"How could His Highness be so confused, he must have been deceived by Ma Qi." Zhang Zhong never believed that a handsome man like Zhu Zhanchang would do such a stupid thing.

"Get back."

After being reprimanded, Zhang Zhong returned to the tent, Ma Qi looked at him with a sinister smile, and he got goosebumps when he saw it.

"I plan to recruit Jiaozhi rebels from the Li Dynasty, what do you think, Ma Qi?"

"His Royal Highness is far-sighted, and it's definitely right to follow His Highness." Ma Qi still had that smile, and he didn't care whether a person like him was black or white, and he didn't care whether the battle was won or lost.

"Zhang Zhong, what's your opinion?"

Zhang Zhong also bluntly said: "Wei Chen's opinion remains unchanged and Li Li cannot be recruited."

"Didn't you listen to me last time? It's not Li Li who I want to recruit, but his subordinates."

"As long as Li Li is here, the rebels will always be there."

Zhu Zhanchang denied him: "No, you are wrong. A hero has three gangs. Without his helper, Li Li is nothing. I want to defeat them all. Today, I will draw up a security order."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanchang had made up his mind, Zhang Zhong couldn't say anything that his father had been invited back to the military tent, and he couldn't leave, otherwise this Ma Qi would not know what bad water he would pour into Zhu Zhanchang.

When he thought of recruiting security, Zhu Zhanchang thought of the hundred and eight generals of Liangshan in Shuibo, and Liangshan heroes could be recruited. Why can't you Jiaozhi a group of rebels?
With a thought, he said, "Xiaosheng, pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Just when Zhu Zhanchang was about to start, Zheng He re-entered the tent. At this time, he learned that General Zhang Fu was brought back to the tent, and he was a little angry.

"Your Highness..."

"If you come to intercede, you don't have to. The British public has a high position, and he has spoken unkindly to me, and it is just a slight punishment. If everyone dares to say that I am collaborating with the enemy, how can I control my troops and horses."

"But..." Zheng He had no choice but to wait aside.

Zhu Zhanchang picked up the pen, thought about it, and wrote it down.

"There are no two ends in the original heart of man, and the eternal path of the country, fear is one principle, doing good is good for the people, doing evil is rebellious, Da Ming uses benevolence and righteousness to govern the world, public rewards and punishments to decide what to do, and it is not a little slack to seek meritocracy. , Love the people if they are afraid of being too young, far and wide, and miss Li Li, Li Hung, Ruan Lai, etc., always cherish loyalty, do not tyranny, have surrendered to the heart for a long time, and have a dignified will to repay. Although they commit crimes, they have their own reasons. Sincerely, with deep pity, Ma Qi, the eunuch of the founding army of Jiaozhi, was specially ordered to carry this edict. The crimes committed by the rebels will be pardoned as much as possible, and Li Li will be appointed as the commander of the commander of the commander of the chief minister of Jiaozhi. The right councilor of the political secretary, Li Hung served as the prefect of the Qinghua government, and the rest of the people were rewarded."

Zhu Zhanchang wrote this large paragraph, using the thin gold body. The word Huizong is good-looking and good-looking.

"His Royal Highness is very good at writing, and even the champion of the current dynasty is probably not as good as it is. It's really pleasing to the eye, like a spring breeze." Zhu Zhanchang ignored his straightforward flattery.

"Jianjun Ma, please take a trip, go to Qinghua as a messenger, and hand over this edict to Li Hung, who will pass it on to Li Li on his behalf."

As soon as he heard that he was a proper messenger, Ma Qi felt a drum in his heart. After all, the two armies were at war and the rebels in Jiaozhi were not called morality and righteousness on our side.

"His Royal Highness, Wei Chen's ability is low, his ability is insufficient, and he has a deep hatred with the Jiaozhi rebels. He has always taken the lead in wars. Now, don't you want to find a chance to kill him?"

"The two armies will not be killed when they fight, and Ma Jianjun has always been able to speak well, so this matter is settled, and the order for security will be sent to you today."

Seeing that Ma Qi could not shirk, when he returned to the military tent, he immediately had his entourage to report to Ma Jianjun that he had diarrhea, and suddenly contracted the disease and could not move.

Zhu Zhanchang sneered: "Sure enough, he is someone who steals and plays tricks. When he waits for him, he must send him."

Zhu Zhanchang wanted to see how long he could pretend.

Zhang Zhong didn't know what Zhu Zhanchang planned for a while, so he gave his father a stick first, and then gave Ma Qi a stick.

After the others left, Zhu Zhanchang only left Zheng He, and Zheng He said, "Your Highness, are you trying to arrest a spy?"

"Is it so obvious?"

"It's not obvious. It's just that the way of thinking and acting is different from the normal situation of His Highness. I think there should be some purpose."

"Zhang Fu, Ma Qi and others don't have much contact with me, and they don't know my style of conduct, so it should be hard to guess." Zhu Zhanchang worried that he might not be hooked after being found out.

"It should be. If you are not familiar with His Highness, the difference is not unusual, but His Highness thinks that the spy is one of them?"

Zhu Zhanchang frowned slightly: "As soon as we arrived, we encountered a siege, and with such a large number of troops coming over, the Jiaozhi rebels obviously trusted their intelligence very much, and the level of the intelligence sender must be high, so check from the top down. "

"Then, Your Highness, this recruitment order?"

"This is true. On the one hand, the Nan family and Li Youmin are allowed to trade and lease the port, and on the other hand, they announce the recruitment. Do you think Li Youmin, Li Hungry and others will have crooked thoughts?"

On the army, attacking the heart is the first.

After learning from Li Youmin that there is currently a shortage of food in Cochin, Zhu Zhanchang has more confidence that people can't go hungry. They can't beat the Ming army now. Can stand firm, but what about his subordinates.

In front of the Ming Dynasty's official salary and salary, when there is no hope of winning, will any of them be tempted?

"But Your Highness, you trade with them, don't you send them food?"

"On the grounds that the Nan family is afraid of being arrested, they will only give them a small portion of the food for trade. This food will definitely not feed so many people. It should only be enough for about [-]% of the needs of one person in Qinghua City. I believe Li Youmin and others. People will drive up the price of food, he will definitely want to make more money, and their internal relationship will definitely be more chaotic. This first edict is just a letter to them, so that some of them who want to settle down will leave an introduction. , there will be a second and third letter in the future."

"His Royal Highness's plan is far more far-reaching than what I have waited for, and this minister is deeply impressed."

I have no far-reaching plans, but I have only read the Water Margin, the novels and literature that these high-ranking officials and literati dismissed.

"The old general is for Ma Qi to see. I still don't think the old general will cooperate with the enemy, but now there is no way to check them all."

Zheng He suddenly thought of something: "But Your Highness, what would you do if the spies found out about your business relationship with Li Youmin?"

"Now I only know about you and me, Zhang Fu and his son Ma Qi. If the news is leaked over there, then it is more likely that the spies must be between Zhang Fu and his son and Ma Qi. Recently, people have been guarded by the military camp and be careful of those who go out."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

In the middle of the night, the surroundings were extremely quiet, the vigil in the military camp was still patrolling, and there was still candlelight in Zhu Zhanchang's tent.

Zhu Zhanchang hadn't slept yet, and Xiaosheng brought in a cup of warm tea.

"Your Highness, rest early."

"Xiaosheng, do you think I did the right thing?"

"What are you talking about, Your Highness?"

"It's about doing business with Li Youmin and others."

Xiaosheng put down the warm tea, and said softly while waiting, "Following His Highness for so long, His Highness has done everything for His Highness's reason, and so far, he has not done anything wrong, even His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince only train His Highness. Doing things is not in line with the etiquette, but I never said that Your Highness did something wrong and did it wrong. I don't know much, but I know that His Highness is not wrong."

Zhu Zhanchang smiled: "You are now a great success in flattering."

"Your Highness, Xiaosheng speaks from the bottom of his heart."

"This sentence can be added, hahaha." Zhu Zhanchang laughed.

Zhu Zhanchang was in a good mood, and Xiaosheng also smiled.

"It's been a few days since I've been here. Help me inform Zheng He that we'll set off now, go to the harbor overnight, and start the southern end of the General's Port Barton, and we'll start the war when we arrive."

"Ah? Your Highness, is this too hasty, and I haven't discussed it with Lord Zheng He and the others."

"Didn't you just say that the decision I made can't be wrong, is this doubting me now?"

"Xiaosheng doesn't dare, just go."

Xiaosheng ran out in a hurry and woke up Zheng He and others who were sleeping. Zheng He got dressed immediately after receiving the order, and the group set off in the dark without even notifying Zhang Fu and Ma Qi.

"Why is Your Highness in such a hurry this time?" Hou Xian, beside Zheng He, asked.

"His Royal Highness wants a surprise attack. I didn't go before because I was afraid that some spies would reveal our whereabouts and be ambushed, but even if this kind of raid is too late for the spies to spread the news, our warship is faster than their news. ."

"Why didn't your Highness make an early raid?"

"His Royal Highness is also the first time to fight."

It was already early in the morning when the steam warship in the port received a few people, and they set off immediately. Zhang Fu and others received a note left by Zhu Zhanang.

"I will wait to set off and capture the southern part of Jiaozhi. After the battle, I will continue to visit the Nanyang countries. You will continue to bombard Qinghua every day."
