Chapter 1287 The Extended War

He is now Zheng Sen's adviser, and he has to show up to negotiate many things. It is much more convenient to have Zhang Guanpi to handle affairs, and other people dare not despise him.

"Sir, what you said is reasonable." Zou Weilian nodded, "It's just that you are just a few students, and you can enter an official with your students. There is no such case in this dynasty."

"Because of the tight border affairs, the imperial court opened a regular prison recently, and the students have already sent people to handle it."

The so-called regular prison, after the Tumu Fortress Change in the Ming Dynasty, in order to raise military pay and food, all the students in the world were ordered to pay so much, and to obtain the qualifications of the Guozijian Supervisor, which was tantamount to buying fame with money and food.The status of this kind of supervising students is very low, and they are looked down upon in society.However, once one becomes a supervisor of the Imperial College, there is the possibility of being awarded an official position according to the routine.Especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, various systems tended to be disordered, which opened the door for various frauds.As long as Zou Weilian is willing to help Qian Taichong get the qualification to be a student supervisor, it will not be a problem to get a small official without a job.

Zou Weilian smiled slightly: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Qian is really exhaustive."

Qian Taichong trembled, and quickly lifted up his robe and knelt down: "Don't dare! How dare you show off in front of adults because of a little thoughtfulness of a student—it's really a last resort, it's all for the sake of the court and society The long-term peace and stability of Bamin, please learn from me!"

"Why is this, why is this," Zou Weilian raised his hand, "Students understand your thoughts. As long as you work hard for the court, you will have a good future in the future." He pondered for a moment and said, "Regular Prisoner If it is done, I will give you a name on the insurance case of Dajie in Xiamen Island."

"Thank you for being perfect!"

Qian Taichong returned from Fuzhou in a hurry, and called together the gathered subordinates, including the powerful people in the original Zheng Zhiwan's subordinates.The matters related to Zheng Zhilong's funeral will be arranged one by one.Qian Taichong is going to hold a grand funeral, in order to declare the status of Zheng Sen's son-in-law of the Zheng family and the head of Zheng's group.

"This is a very powerful move, well done!" Jiang Shan commented in the office after reading the report just delivered, "The gang of the Zheng family are about to go crazy: don't go, it's a sign of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice. If you go, it is tantamount to admitting that Zheng Sen is the leader of the Zheng Group." He raised his head to look at Wang Ding, the director of the analysis department, "Who is this Qian Taichong next to Zheng Sen?"

"It's the former staff member of Shi Bangyao, who is guarding Hainan Province in Guangdong Province. He was captured by us during the Battle of Chengmai. He was a laborer for more than two years and was only released this spring." Wang Ding said and took out a paper file. "This is the material about him that I have retrieved."

"I didn't expect him to be a talent in this field." Jiang Shan flipped through it, "In this way, the incident of the Zheng family will be even more turbulent."

Li Yan coughed: "In case the Zheng family is really re-integrated by him, which is not good for us, I think it's better to eliminate him directly."

Jiang Shan didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter, it's good to have someone tormenting this scene. Let's also see how much ability such a strategist has to turn the tide."

Wang Ding said: "From the current point of view, even if this Qian Taichong can reintegrate the remnants of the Zheng family, I am afraid it will be difficult to restore the situation where Zheng Zhilong dominated Fujian in the past."

"That's right," Jiang Shan took out a cigar, lit it with a match, and took a deep breath, "The colonial and trade departments are planning to launch two commercial battles to completely destroy the last vitality of the Zheng family. .”

"You mean that the trade monopoly plan for Japan and the Philippines was discussed in the Standing Committee of the Senate not long ago?"

"That's right." Jiang Shan said, "The Zheng family's money didn't fall from the sky. As long as we can cut off these two trade routes, they will be finished—not to mention the money is too much, it will be Zhuge Wuhou and Liu Bowen. Resurrected and reincarnated as Zheng Sen as a counselor, it will be difficult to turn the tide."

Having lost most of its fleet and a large amount of capital, the Zheng Group is now like a seriously injured wounded, just recovering from a bloody shock—even if it recovers, it will need long-term nutritional supplements to gradually recover. Fuyuan, the trade war against the Philippines and Japan, is to cut off these two infusion lines that are crucial to the survival of the Zheng Group.

"As for the chaos in Zhangzhou Bay, I don't think Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Lian brothers are so easy to surrender to Damu. There is still a good show of fighting between dragons and tigers. Let's just watch quietly."

"What about the family members of the Zheng family who have already been transported to Hong Kong?" Wang Ding asked, "There are quite a few family members of important people among them."

"The executive committee has already given a reply on this matter, agreeing to our proposed ransom plan. Send people to various places in Xiamen to send lists to allow them to name and ransom people." Jiang Shan said, "The executive committee also instructed us to formulate the ransom according to the list. A detailed ransom price list - to maximize profits."

"Isn't it a pity..."

"It's not a pity at all—what's the use of keeping these people in our hands? Sending them to work? That's called waste." Li Yan said with a smile.

"Let's discuss the work in Dengzhou next."

The cold wind was blowing and the snowflakes were fluttering. Lu Wenyuan stood on the tower of the stockade on Qimu Island, tucking up his thick cotton coat. Put on a thin layer of powder coat.

The winter in 1632 was very cold. The first snow fell in Jiaodong just after October. Lu Wenyuan knew from the historical meteorological data sent to the University Library that this year would be a very cold winter—even There will be heavy snow in Lingao.

However, compared to last year's winter, the most critical time on Qimu Island has passed.Now the "Deer Manor" is already a "local tyrant" on the Jiaodong Peninsula.Taking advantage of the Dengzhou Rebellion, his "Xiangyong" people occupied the Zhaoyuan area, established more than a dozen villages, and controlled tens of thousands of people, as if they were a semi-independent force.

Not only the government looked at him differently, but even the rebels did not dare to provoke him, and people under the banner of Qimu Island were able to move freely in this area.

The owner of Lu Zhuang is also quite proud of his achievements: except for a short summer break during the typhoon season in summer, Qimu Island has been receiving and exporting refugees throughout 1632. The number of refugees received exceeds 18. More than [-] refugees were transported out.Many places in Dongsan Prefecture have become desolate and inaccessible—the people were either killed by the rebels or fled to Longkou and Zhaoyuan—most of them have been sent to Hainan, Jeju and Taiwan. Become an indentured slave under the Senate.

However, this Dengzhou chaos is gradually coming to an end.In the eighth month of the lunar calendar in the fifth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Dadian led the troops in the Shandong camp to defeat the rebels in Shahe, and then pursued them all the way to Laizhou.After defeating the elite cavalry led by Kong Youde, Laizhou City was officially relieved.

On September 3000th of the lunar calendar in the fifth year of Chongzhen, the officers and soldiers of the Shandong camp took advantage of the victory to attack Huang County. The officers and soldiers fought against the rebels in Beima Town. Defeated, [-] people were killed, [-] were captured, and countless died in the sea.The officers and soldiers regained Huangxian City, and Jin Guoqi and others drove to Dengzhou and set up camp outside the west gate.

As a "local gentry", the owner of Lu Zhuang, because of his meritorious service in defending Laizhou, also "protected the environment and the people" in Huangxian County. Qi Qian personally interviewed him, and promised to reward him for his merits in the insurance case.

Lu Wenyuan made a grateful expression, and kowtowed to several adults—cursing secretly in his heart.After the official affairs were over, he "meeted" these adults in private, and each presented a generous gift, especially the one for Zhu Dadian.

Because Dengzhou persisted for eight months, the imperial court rewarded and compensated the officials, generals and gentry who had made great contributions to the defense of the city as usual. potency.The owner of Lu Zhuang obtained the qualification to "study in prison", that is to say, he became a "supervisor", which is equivalent to a person's fame.Even Feng Zongze was rewarded with the military rank of "Little Banner".

Now Zhu Dadian and others are most concerned about capturing Dengzhou and completely solving the Dengzhou chaos.But for Lu Wenyuan, this matter cannot end so quickly.Otherwise, these tens of thousands of officers and soldiers killed Kong Youde in one go, and my own tens of thousands of people occupy Zhaoyuan and Longkou, and some people want food and food.
A few days ago, Xie Sanbin sent someone to deliver a letter, asking him to prepare one thousand shi of grain and three thousand civilian men to be used by the army.

"Hmph, do you think I'm a big fat pig arch?" Lu Wenyuan thought to himself.He immediately asked the envoy to go back to report with a kind face, saying that although it was very difficult for him, he did not dare to be sloppy in serving the court, and it just took a few days to prepare.

Looking at the heavy snowfall, he thought of the telegram he had received a few days ago: the Engine Action Command had agreed to his proposal to prolong the Dengzhou Rebellion: Let the rebels deal another heavy blow to the officers and soldiers.No matter how precarious the officers and soldiers are, they won miserably because of their own support—it is better to lose a few civil servants and generals, so that from strength to morale, the officers and soldiers will no longer have a peek at their own ideas. His purpose of separatist Zhaoyuan That's it.

"It's snowing heavily, food must be the center of gravity in the army." Lu Wenyuan thought, "As long as there is a loss of food, the officers and soldiers gathered at the foot of Dengzhou City will be in chaos without a fight..."

Xie Sanbin is currently sitting in Huangxian County to supervise the grain. The grain and grass are transported from Qingzhou, and Yang Jin of Qingzhou Road is in charge of transshipment.If the rebels can launch a surprise attack and break through Zhuqiao or Huangshan Pavilion, the food transportation can be interrupted.
