Xiong Wencan unexpectedly met a talented person today, and he was in a good mood at the moment. Looking at the water leak in the house, he suddenly realized that he and Huang Zhicheng had been talking for a long time, so the old Xiong said to Huang Juren with a pleasant look: "That's it.

, how about Zhicheng go back and wait for the news?"

As he spoke, Old Xiong prepared to order soup to see off the guests - there was a group of people waiting for him to receive him.

"Student, there is also a statement here. Lord Wanwang will be correct in his free time." Huang Ping saw that Old Xiong was about to drive people away, so he quickly took out a statement from his sleeve pocket and presented it.

This report was compiled by Huang Zhicheng himself based on the outline and information received from the main office.

The content of the report was written in the format of upper, middle and lower strategies according to ancient customs, and it was mixed with some false information and judgments - it was impossible for Huang Juren to collect all the accurate information about Fujian in Hangzhou.

The core idea of ​​this report is to point out from a strategic level that recruiting Zheng Zhilong is not the best choice.

Historically, Zheng Zhilong did settle down after being comforted and began to manage his family's one-third of an acre of land. When the Qing army came to Xiamen n years later, the former hero had already lost his vigor in wealth, and his end was ugly.

Therefore, Huang Ping only listed recruiting Lao Zheng as a middle strategy in his statement, and by the way, he focused on the dangers of recruiting Zheng Zhilong: Once Zheng Zhilong, a native of his hometown, gains power, if one day Lao Zheng raises a flag of rebellion, he will definitely be a follower of the countryside, Fujian.

The rotten situation in Guangdong where traitors are vying for support—Xiong Wencan will be unable to live with it no matter where he is.

...People in time travel knew who Zheng Zhilong was, but Xiong Wencan in 1628 did not.

Therefore, Huang Ping pointed out another good strategy in the document: recruit a pirate force that has no roots in Fujian and Guangdong, support it, and then kill Zheng Zhilong. Although this strategy is a little difficult at the beginning, it will work once and for all. Xiong Wencan does not have to worry about the future.

This generation repeats itself.

Of course, Tiao Chen did not mention a word about the time-traveling forces occupying the senior officials - Huang Juren still "thought" that it was Hong Mao who occupied the senior officials, so Tiao Chen Li only used "borrowing teachers to help suppress" as a backup plan, and lightly said

Mentioned something.

The main purpose of this document is, of course, firstly to further highlight Huang Juren's talents, and secondly, to plant a nail in Lao Xiong's way - until some people and certain forces appear in front of Lao Xiong in the future.

At that time, Huang Juren could express his support openly and openly: "Look, I have already analyzed it in my report. At the moment, it seems that this group of people is suitable."

...

Xiong Wencan met Huang Ping on the fourth day after arriving in Zhejiang.

On the evening of the fifth day, Huang Juren, who had gone home to wait for news, was once again summoned to Guanyi. This time it was different. Xiong Wencan met him in the study. After the two discussed a certain clause, Huang Ping accepted it on the spot.

The appointment letter from Xiong Da arrived.

Okay, I have to kneel down this time. The letter of appointment is equivalent to confirming the master-slave relationship, similar to kneeling down to Liu Bei in Zhuge Thatched Cottage.

After Huang Pingyue knelt down and played with Xiong Da happily, the guests and hosts were very satisfied. Then Huang Ping reported his working hours.

Now that the most important task is completed, Huang Juren can arrange the future time: Xiong Wencan can stay at the post house for two or three days at most. This time is not enough for Huang Ping to arrange the wedding anyway, so Xiong Wencan's large army will set off as scheduled, along the

Follow the ancient official road all the way to Fuzhou.

Officials will not take the sea route to take office. A large army will face more than 1,000 miles of official roads later, and most of them are mountainous roads in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian. It will take Lao Xiong more than ten or twenty days to reach Fuzhou, Huangping.

The wedding arrangements have already been arranged, and we will take the transport fleet from Tangzhuang southward and head to Fuzhou City by sea. The time is not much different.

...

After Xiong Wencan came to Zhejiang, he met with officials in the first three days, and promoted scholars and scholars in the next two days. On the sixth day, he finally had time to meet with businessmen.

Unlike public occasions, officials are quite polite to businessmen when they meet in private - after all, they are sitting in front of them, and they must have money in their pockets, and no one will be in trouble with the money.

Xiong Tianzi also understands this truth, so today I will be the first to read our Xiong Dao sign: No other things, only courtesy!

Even though Xiong Wencan holds a high official position and is well-informed, he was dazzled by the gifts from the businessman named Xiong last night: a bright light, an oil lamp without any smoke, a crystal mirror that showed every detail, and that

Hang up the string of pearls...these rare treasures really made the old bear take a breath of cold air at that time.

You know, this is the first time we meet, and we are giving such a big gift before we have even said anything. Xiong Wencan is sophisticated and knows that this person is probably not an ordinary businessman, so early this morning, he turned over Xiong Dao's sign to see who this person is.

What's the origin?

"Caomin Xiong Dao kowtows to Lord Fujun." After Xiong Dao completed a set of kowtow procedures in a standard manner, Xiong Wencan, who came to the table, greeted his friend Xiong to get up, take a seat, and watch tea.

"Student Meng Shengen is on a patrol in Fujian. I wonder what kind of livelihood my friend Xiong does in Fujian?"

Xiong Dao asked to see my family today, and he came here to highlight his name. In addition, time was tight - there was a group of people behind him waiting for Old Xiong to meet him, so he went straight to the point and did not hide it: "I will not hide it from your lord, the common people are now with

Some friends get together on Taiyuan Island and do small businesses to make ends meet."

"Well, Taiyuan Island. What? Taiyuan Island? Be brave! Are you the 'Helan people' visiting?"

...Xiong Da, who was originally smiling and twisting his beard, was slightly startled when he realized where the senior officer was. Then he pointed his halberd at Xiong and shouted loudly.

"You don't know something, but the Dutch people on Taiyuan Island were persuaded by their brothers to go back to Bacheng as early as last autumn. Now the people on Taiyuan Island are all serious Han people like me.

There is no more red barbarian."

"What? Persuade you to go back?" Xiong Wencan caught the key word, thought about it and asked: "But there was a fight?"

"Yes. Using muskets against muskets, the brothers first broke through the Dutch gun formation, and then broke through the Dutch walled city. They originally planned to kill them all, but later they considered that business was still important, so the brothers let the Dutch go and ordered

The rest will go back to Bacheng to transport goods, and from now on they will just do business honestly."

...

When Xiong Wencan heard this, he slowly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip - he needed time to digest the information given by Xiong Dao.

After stroking his beard and pondering for a few breaths, Old Xiong first dismissed the possibility that this person was crazy. Then he looked at the businessman who behaved strangely, and then thought of the treasures in the back room that were obviously not Chinese style. Old Xiong followed

As I continued to think through my thoughts, I gradually came to understand.

"In that case, please explain your origins clearly."

"Dare you disobey your orders?" Xiong Dao smiled slightly at this time, and told the origin of the time-traveling forces according to the routine prepared by the big office.

The origin of this is very simple. In short, the time-traveling forces are also a group of "maritime merchants" similar to Zheng Zhilong. Although the scale is smaller, because the time-traveling people can trade with Westerners for more sophisticated weapons, they have strong force. The newly rising forces are now

Based on Taiyuan Island, it is trying to get involved in coastal trade.

As for the organizational structure of the Chuangzhong, Xiong Dao talked about the template of "Master Shao Guo Xin": the young leader's surname is Cao, who belongs to the second generation of bandits and has just taken over. He is currently assisted by an old minister surnamed Xia who is in power.

The purpose of saying this is to avoid some risks in the future. For example, if Lao Xiong insists on seeing Mr. Cao, then he can prevaricate it by saying that he is not stable internally and cannot leave the person for a while. In addition, he can also give Lao Xiong some thoughts: these people

There are still hidden dangers inside. If one day they turn against each other, I will do anything to help them...

After listening to my description, Xiong Wencan showed a smile that said, "It's just as I expected." Then, Master Xiong finally asked the most important line of the day: "What do you want?"

Xiong Dao had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. At this moment, I saw him with an enthusiastic attitude, his voice full of emotion, and his hands clasped in fists: "We, the ordinary people, are willing to follow your Majesty's tail, clean up the ugly people, and bring peace to the sea."

"Hahaha..." Xiong Wencan raised his head and laughed loudly when he heard this.

...

Two days later, in front of the official post gate of Desheng Bridge, Xiong Wencan, the censor of Youqiandu and the governor of Fujian, and his party were preparing to leave for Fujian.

Mr. Xiong was obviously in a good mood today. He not only joked with Huang Juren who came to see him off, but also gave a slight nod to a businessman who was slightly far away before getting on the sedan chair. It was not easy for Mr. Xiong to do such a gesture with his dignity.

.

Xiong Wencan certainly had reason to be happy. This trip stopped in Hangzhou, and unexpectedly there was an extra general under his command, which was really beyond his expectation.

The current situation in the Fujian Sea is so turbulent that it is far beyond the words in the memorial to explain it clearly. At least in his current view, Xiong, the policy of appeasing Zheng that was originally decided when he left the capital is a little worrying.

.

Even the pirates from remote Yizhou knew how to come early to contact and defect. This shows that the situation in the Fujian Sea is not dominated by the Zheng family.

The uncertain mood when leaving Beijing has disappeared. Mr. Xiong now believes that this trip to Fumin has a very good omen. He looked at the businessmen of the family who were bowing in solemnity outside the sedan window with expressions of blessing on their faces, and then thought about the strange things in the luggage.

A rare treasure, Mr. Xiong could not help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Xiong Wencan and his entourage disappear, Xiong Dao, who was saying farewell in front of the official post office, finally breathed a sigh of relief, dusted off his sleeves and left: As of now, Lao Xiong has nothing to do with his follow-up tasks.

The office has previously sent special personnel to Fuzhou to establish an intelligence network and business station, the specifications of which are the same as those in Hangzhou. When Lao Xiong arrives in Fuzhou, other comrades will naturally come forward to contact them.

Comrade Xiong Dao walked away gracefully, but Comrade Huang Ping was still standing in front of the post house, deep in thought: Are you going to Fuzhou now? Didn't you agree to lurk in Jiangnan until the day when Master Wang came ashore... Now

But now that I'm here, what should I do with the beautiful maids at home? Fuzhou is so far away, so it's inconvenient to travel together? If I stay, what should I do if they are sold by the eldest lady?

...

Mr. Huang took the sedan home that day with a melancholy look on his face.

Of course, no matter how melancholy he is, life still has to go by, and he will now start to make some preparations for the long journey.

First, he ordered the butler to prepare for the sale - after the wedding, some of the servants who did not sign the death contract can be sold appropriately. If the master is not around, why are there so many people left?

The second is the safe: Legally, the lady who has the right to control the back house of the male master will come in soon, and the master will be away from home for a long time, so this thing cannot be left in the house. So the day after Xiong Wencan left,
Chapter completed!
