Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 453 The Secretariat

I don't know if my job is threatened or because of something. This morning, the gold medal secretary Li Xiangjun was almost as efficient as the computer. In the car, he drafted Song Qingshu to Liu Zongmin, Sun Chuanting, and Ma Shiying, as well as the backers of Beijing, Yang Sichang, Li Jiantai and others. All the secret letters were prepared, Song Qingshu almost had a brain short circuit and couldn't keep up with her writing.

At noon, Zheng Zhilong fought against the imperial court all the time, and after he was recruited, he fought against other pirates, especially the Dutch and Liu Xiang. , the capable secretary in a rather black windbreaker didn't give himself a good look all morning, and sat next to him with a pretty oval face, glamorous like an office goddess.

Fortunately, Song Qingshu really can't spare the energy to care about this little girl's movies. The Ming Dynasty, or all dynasties have this problem. They are extremely obscure about the war records. It is often when a certain general's protagonist's halo is opened, and the minions shout slogans He won the battle, and Song Qingshu had to spend more brain cells to speculate on the tactics at that time!
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the upper-level meeting of the navy was held on time, and Song Qingshu also let out a long sigh of relief when Zheng Zhilong set fire to Liu Dutchman and Liu Xiang's combined fleet records.

This night, it is estimated that Shi Lang and Zhang Huangyan did not sleep well, and the two Navy No. [-] figures had dark circles under their eyes, but the preparations were obviously more detailed than yesterday's hasty preparation.

"Marshal, this is the distribution of our defense lines. The shipyards in Longjiang, Zhenjiang, and Chongming have stopped broadcasting our main warships. We can use 38 Yingtian-class warships, 30 Cangshan ships with a 68-meter-high bottom, and 20 Cangshan ships with a [-]-meter to There are more than [-] [-]-meter fast boats, [-] sailors and [-] sailors!"

"The Fifth Stormtrooper is temporarily unavailable. It will take at least a month to repair it and restore its combat effectiveness. There are still seven Yingtian warships equipped with heavy red cannons. They are all main warships preparing for armed escort. The rest is for fishing. The large transport ships are only equipped with Franco cannons weighing up to [-] jin. In addition, there is a squadron with five Yingtian ships as the main force, which is still staying near Yangzhou. If necessary, they can use the big horns to Island Fort and Chongming Island Fort cover, return to meet."

Yesterday the map was only for enemy ships to invade, but today I marked my own position in detail. The red and black ships and turrets are facing each other. However, if the battlefield situation map is a game of chess, Zheng Zhilong would Like a big dragon, hovering in all directions, the begging army is much more lifeless. Except for Yangzhou and Xuzhou, which originally went north to fight against the Qing Dynasty as a transport ship, the small fleet of frigates still has some vitality outside, and the rest are blocked. In the Yangtze River.

"Marshal, according to scout investigations, Zheng Zhilong, as the main force, has at least 50 Dafu ships with a height of 150 meters. However, the firepower of the enemy ships is not as strong as ours. There are 22 to 28 guns, Baizi cannons, etc.! Commander, we can still fight!"

The latter sentence was added by Shi Lang. Compared with Zhang Huangyan's cautiousness, this later Haiboli is obviously more eager to fight.

Looking at the chart hanging on the back, Song Qingshu's fingers subconsciously rotated a delicate small revolver. The number of soldiers, begging army sailors plus sailors, 40 oarsmen, and the opponent has pirates who are used to fighting. The division is [-], which is three times as much as his own. In terms of capital ships, Song Qingshu can use more than [-] Yingtian warships, nearly fifty, and the opponent has [-], which is also three times his own. This battle is not easy to fight. !
But at this moment, Li Xiangjun, who was standing beside him with Wen Du in his arms, suddenly couldn't help but interjected.

"Marshal, there are 5 to [-] men in Zheng Jun's navy. They come all the way from Fujian. What do they eat?"

A group of big shots were having a meeting, and such a little girl interrupted at random. Zhang Huangyan, who was quite macho, looked over at once annoyed, but Song Qingshu understood this sentence, and his eyes lit up again.

A large-scale fleet trip is not as small as Song Qingshu's trip to Southeast Asia with three or five boats at a time. It needs to feed as many as [-] mouths, and the food needed is not a small amount. The Zheng He fleet was only [-]. For such a large-scale fleet, it is definitely not enough to rely on the little food stored on board. Zheng Zhilong’s fleet is still slower than himself. Now that it is entrenched in the mouth of the Yangtze River, it must be replenished on the spot, and now most of the food in the entire south of the Yangtze River is gathered. In the hands of the three forces, ranked by number, the third is myself, the second is the Yangzhou salt merchants, and the first is in the hands of the vast number of gentry and feudal landlords in the south of the Yangtze River.

The one who can persuade these iron cocks to pluck their feathers is his own enemy, the Donglin Party!
With such a series connection, things became much clearer. Jiaduobao Company now monopolizes most of the silk and cotton miscellaneous goods business in the Jiangnan generation, and has further robbed porcelain, finance, steel products, and even small items such as mats, fans, wooden combs, and nail clippers. It must have touched the cheese of many local nobles. Even if some enlightened landlords were attracted to join the Jiaduobao Company, a commercial aircraft carrier, the hostile ones still accounted for the majority.

Especially after the last fire merger, the scholars of Jiangnan Jiangwu Hall seized more than 100 official positions in Jiangnan, which was tantamount to directly tearing the face, and was regarded by many people as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.

They are the only ones who can so quickly send the news that they have surrendered a large number of Danmin, pirates, and started the smuggling trade in the East China Sea to Zheng Zhilong. Great pirate.

So what the Beggar Army is dealing with this time is not just as simple as Zheng Zhilong's attack!

But this also pointed out a way for Song Qingshu, as long as he can control the supply of Zheng Zhilong's fleet, he can at least be invincible!

"Xiang Jun is right this time! If Zheng Zhilong wants to feed his sailors, the Songjiang Changzhou generation must have his supply point. This matter will be left to Qu Botao. The transportation of large quantities of food will definitely not escape. His eyes! But before finding the supply source of Zheng Zhilong's fleet, don't act rashly, the navy should not go out to sea for the time being, keep the state of combat readiness and assemble at any time, ready to fight!"

Only then did he come to his senses, but Zhang Huangyan still looked at Li Xiangjun resentfully. Who knew that at this moment, Song Qingshu knocked on the table again, and stood up solemnly.

"The ancients said that if the king does not keep secrets, he will lose his country, and if his ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his body! The information in my hand is all court secrets, and it can be obtained with a little money. Therefore, I must not repeat the same mistakes. Establish confidentiality measures! However, from the division commander level, everyone is indeed busy with business, so the commander decided to establish a separate secretariat, specially equipped with secretaries for the division commander, division deputy level officers, and leaders. All secretaries must serve in the begging army. Only those who have received confidentiality training and loyal postgraduate entrance examinations will be able to participate in meetings of this level in the future!"

"I have recommended Li Xiangjun to be the Secretary-General in the name of the Marshal of the Qihuo Army! I believe that she is talented enough!"

No matter Shi Lang heard this, everyone below was stunned. In the past, it was the right of each official to deploy staff. If Song Qingshu's secretariat was established, it would be equivalent to taking away all the staff's rights and taking Song Qingshu's salary. His secretary is naturally Song Qingshu's eyes and ears, somewhat similar to Dongchang Jinyiwei.

However, since Li Xiangjun can be recognized as the secretary-general, it means that there are definitely not a few beautiful women among the secretaries. In the future, he can also take the "close" female secretary to take care of his "daily life" when marching. For men, it is always considered a benefit. happy.

Therefore, none of the naval generals objected aloud, and it was acquiesced. Song Qingshu turned his head proudly when Li Xiangjun was suddenly given such an important task and right, thinking that this girl would give him a grateful look, but who knew that Li Xiangjun was He gave himself a big roll of his eyes, which made Song Qingshu depressed.

What is going on in this woman's head?
.........

At any rate, today's naval meeting set a big policy for Zheng Zhilong's challenge. After a few days, a series of strategies were launched.

The two local warlords clashed, and it was the capital who started to tear apart the warlords first. The turmoil of the peace negotiation between the Eastern captives has not yet passed, and a series of civil servants from the south of the Yangtze River, including the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Shunchang, suddenly formed a gang. Snowflakes generally wrote letters, and began to sing praises of Song Qingshu, and praised Song Qingshu's meritorious deeds of beheading the tenth rank, as if they were generals of the Yang family.

Of course, it is impossible for these officials of the Donglin lineage to have their heads kicked by donkeys. The governor and the governor of Liaodong became the tools of the party struggle. Everyone rushed to kick the political opponents into these two positions, which was similar to this. Sure enough, it didn't take long before someone saw him and recommended Song Qingshu as the governor of Xuanda to succeed him. The position left by Lu Xiangsheng.

This governor of Xuanda is not a good job. The imperial court has been in arrears for decades, and there are still many hills in Xuanda's army, especially facing the front line of the Jiannu invasion. Every time Jiannu enters the customs, there must be Xuan The governor was unlucky, but Song Qingshu, who was caught off guard by the beating, was worried, but all these recommendations were left behind like a muddy cow.

Song Qingshu overestimated the level of trust that Emperor Chongzhen had in him. Governor Xuanda knew that it was a thankless job, but this position was also the most important thing for the safety of the capital. Zhu Youjian was not at ease with Song Qingshu. The domineering general who was born as a king came to guard the north gate for him.

The Donglin Party's three-axed ax round was cut in vain, and since the counterattack of the beggar army was solid, the Liaodong Supervising Army Gao Qiqian and the Wenhuadian University scholar Yang Sichang both spoke out and reprimanded Zheng Zhilong stationed troops in the southern capital, plotting evil!

This time, Zheng Zhilong stationed troops in Nanzhili in the name of exterminating the Japanese pirates, blocking the door of Song Qingshu's house, but he was a guerrilla in Fujian's coastal defense after all!Sending troops to the southeast is obviously nondescript. Before the war started, Zheng Zhilong first started to bear the heavy political pressure, and he had already lost Yiju in terms of momentum.

Then, Song Qingshu's second ax hit the dragon in the sea with gold stars in his eyes...
