Chapter 51: Seeing the Poor Dagger (Part 1)

As he spoke, the inspector raised his eyebrows, and pinched the thumb, index and middle fingers of his right hand together and rubbed them together. I didn’t say whether they could understand the sincerity, but only the expression and movements. Even a fool could see it.

This is a benefit.

Again, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is hard to deal with. The leaders of the group smiled bitterly, and then Zhang Ying, the Jingyang general, expressed his affirmative attitude towards this "hint" and said that the benefits are on the ship, and it will be available soon.

Send someone back to get it.

"Well, Zhang Shuai is indeed a famous general in Zhejiang. I have heard about his name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. It is a blessing to see him today..."

Good thing, the inspection immediately changed its color, and it was so pleasant that it made people feel goosebumps all over the floor. Later, the good thing was delivered, which was a 100-tael meeting ticket. Although it was a Zhejiang ticket number, it was a little awkward to pick up.

It's troublesome, but for one hundred taels of silver, this is a lot of rituals, so much so that the inspection was just a smile.

"We all surrender to the imperial court sincerely. Please also ask the inspector to take the trouble to report our situation as soon as possible. After the matter is completed, I will also send you a heartfelt message."

"Zhang Shuai is being polite, you are being polite. If everyone is as generous as Zhang Shuai, there will be nothing difficult to handle." When he saw the meeting ticket, the inspector was very talkative, and even said that the matter would be taken care of by him:

"To be honest with Zhang Shuai and everyone else, the pirates have occupied Haitan Island some time ago. Now the boss of the Fu army is vigorously organizing military exercises. There is a shortage of naval veterans like you to fight against the pirates. I have verified it.

If you find any soldiers, ships, weapons or other items, please send someone to report it to the superiors. Please just wait for the good news."

It turned out that Zheng Chenggong's navy had just taken control of Haitan Island in the south of Fuzhou Prefecture, and it was naturally beyond its reach. Putting aside the last doubts, the next step was nothing more than inspection procedures. The patrol led the people from the patrol department to follow them.

We returned to the dock and inspected the situation of their fleet in detail.

"...More than 670 soldiers; thirty-seven large and small ships; four fake silver square seals, 12 fake customs defenses, four fake edicts, not counting fake letters, and seventy-nine red cannons

, there are many other artillery fire, armor and flags..."

This is the property of three generals including Jingyang General Zhang Ying, six generals, eleven deputy generals, guerrilla and other generals, and a civilian official from the Ministry of War's Staff Division, a total of twenty-one people.

.

Regarding these, the inspection said that they could keep the soldiers, ships and weapons for themselves, and the customs and defense seals would be handed over to Governor Zhang Xuesheng in person when they went to Fuzhou. But as for the flag, he wanted to hand it over directly to him for safekeeping. After all, they had already

He is a man who wants to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. It is unbecoming to enter Fuzhou with the flag of the Ming army.

"I understand, I understand, we all sincerely submit to the Qing Dynasty, without any other thoughts."

"Of course I know this."

Zhang Ying quickly sent someone to bring the flag. The inspector smiled and nodded, then curled his lips and hinted that the commander of the fleet that came earlier than them was a very ignorant guy. Therefore, he felt that it was so rash.

It was not safe for him to go to Fuzhou. Naturally, he had to stay for a while and observe before making any decisions.

"Then look, why do we need to shave our heads?"

Zhang Ying asked tentatively, but the inspector said, "Don't worry, when I go to Fuzhou, I will shave my hair and change clothes in front of the Fujun boss, so that the boss will be happy to see it."

The most important things have slowed down.

Money can make things work, and the corresponding procedures can be saved or avoided. Without any effort, the inspection team wrote the corresponding report and sent someone to Fuzhou in front of them.

There is really nothing better for them if things can be carried out as quickly as possible. They happily sent off the inspection, and then they just waited for the news.

"The inspector just said that there will be news within three days at the earliest. He said that he also had some nice words for us in the document..."

"It's just a villain who succeeds. I think all of us have high official positions, but we have to be humble and petty in front of a ninth-grade official. This is a big embarrassment."

"Be content. In the Qing Dynasty, a general soldier had three thousand soldiers and horses. Our group of people together is less than 700 people. Can these few soldiers, general soldiers, seals and other things be enough to make a living?"

"

During the Southern Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of abuse of titles and officials was serious. Among them, if we do not count the Yongli Dynasty who granted kings with different surnames, which destroyed the ancestral system and exceeded the lower limit, then the Lu Jianguo Dynasty was the most serious one. In the eastern Zhejiang region, a village was established

, either the commander-in-chief holds the seal, or the minister-general and censor, people like them are nothing.

"That's right, we're pretty quick now. Look at Jiang Mei'ao, don't we have to continue waiting here?"

On the way, the inspection also introduced this, saying that this place was originally where Zheng Cai was entrenched. Later, Zheng Cai was persuaded by the guy named Chen Kai and went to Zhongzuo to confess his sincerity to Zheng Chenggong. For this reason,

, many of Zheng Cai's generals were dissatisfied, and one named Cai Xing went to Fuzhou to surrender. As a result, some troubles were caused in Fuzhou. The Fujian Governor's Yamen simply built an inspection department's Yamen here to identify

The general was demoted and the soldier was demoted. The man named Jiang Mei'ao originally planned to go to the Zhongzuo Institute. Who knows, he changed his mind halfway and returned here. Because he didn't understand the rules, I was afraid that he would be like Cai Xing.

If something happened, I'll stay here for the time being.

The underlying meaning of these words is that Jiang Mei'ao did not give enough benefits to the patrolman, and now he is wearing small shoes. They didn't pay too much attention to this. But at night, Jiang Mei'ao came uninvited.

, saying that he came to visit them.

Jiang Mei'ao is Zheng Cai's old subordinate. Originally, Zheng Cai and Lu Jianguo had interacted with each other during their honeymoon period. Now that they are both fallen people from the end of the world, they have a close relationship. And more importantly, they are both from the same place.

, they also wanted to know more about the situation in Fujian and the coast of Fujian, so that they could be prepared to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so they simply invited Jiang Mei'ao to Zhang Ying's ship.

After the greetings, the two sides exchanged information on the war situation in Zhejiang and the situation in the Minhai Sea. The reason why these Zhejiang Ming troops came to surrender to the Qing Dynasty was simply because they were desperate for the future, but the situation in Jiang Mei'ao was different. Zheng Cai had already

After joining Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong also had Zheng Cai's old subordinates under his account. It was natural for Jiang Mei'ao to do so in the past. But in Jiang Mei'ao's words, Zheng Chenggong discriminated against them, Zheng Cai's old subordinates, and the generals such as Yang Chaodong who had joined him earlier were not treated well.

Why, he came back late and was afraid that he would have to wear small shoes, so after thinking about it, he turned away from Zheng Cai's fleet.

"So that's what happened."

"Hey, to be honest with you, over the past year or so, even though I followed Jianguo Gong and did some sea trade, my life has been very tight. I don't have no money, but I am afraid of overcoming difficulties, and I have taken care of this place. Next
