He is now Zheng Sen's adviser. He has to show up to negotiate on many matters. It is much more convenient to have Zhang Guanpi to do things, and others do not dare to slight him. />
"Sir, what you said makes sense." Zou Weilian nodded, "It's just that you are just a student, and you entered the official position through a student. There is no such case in this dynasty."
"Due to the tight external affairs, the imperial court has recently opened a temporary prison, and the students have already sent people to handle it."
The so-called regular prison, after the Tumubao Incident in the Ming Dynasty, in order to raise military pay and food, all students in the world were ordered to accept Su Nama, and to obtain the qualifications of the Imperial College's prison students, it was equivalent to buying fame with money and food. This kind of prison students had a very low status in society.
They are also looked down upon. However, once they become a student of the Imperial College, there is the possibility of being awarded an official position as a routine. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, various systems tended to be chaotic, opening the door to all kinds of fraud. Qian Taichong manipulated
As long as Zou Weilian is willing to help if he is qualified to be a supervisor, it will not be a problem to get a small official position.
Zou Weilian smiled slightly: "I didn't expect Mr. Qian to have such a comprehensive plan."
Qian Taichong shuddered, quickly lifted up his robe and knelt down: "Don't dare! How dare you show off your little thoughts in front of adults - it's really a last resort, and it's all for the sake of the imperial court and the country.
For the long-term peace and stability of Fujian, please take note of this!"
"Why is this, why is this," Zou Weilian raised his hand, "Students know all about your thoughts. As long as you serve the court well, you will definitely have a good future in the future." He pondered for a moment and said, "Regular Prison
If it goes through, I will add a name to your insurance policy for Dajie on Xiamen Island."
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
Qian Taichong hurriedly returned from Fuzhou and gathered together his subordinates, including the most capable people from Zheng Zhiwan's subordinates. He arranged all the matters related to Zheng Zhilong's funeral one by one. Qian Taichong wanted to hold a grand ceremony.
A funeral ceremony was held to announce Zheng Sen’s status as the legitimate son of the Zheng family and the head of the Zheng Group.
"This is a great move, well done!" Jiang Shan commented in the office after reading the report just sent, "The Zheng family's gang will go crazy: If you don't go, that would be unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust.
Disciple; gone, that would be equivalent to admitting that Zheng Sen is the leader of the Zheng Group." He raised his head and looked at Wang Ding, director of the Analysis Department, "Who is this Qian Taichong next to Zheng Sen?"
"He is the former aide of Shi Bangyao, who was stationed in the Guangdong Leftist Political Branch in Hainan Province. He was captured by us during the Battle of Chengmai and worked as a laborer for more than two years. He was only released this spring." Wang Ding said and took out a paper file.
"This is the information I obtained about him."
"I didn't expect him to be a talented person in this field." Jiang Shan browsed through it. "In this way, the Zheng family's affairs will become even more spectacular."
Li Yan coughed: "If the Zheng family is really reintegrated by him and it's not good for us, I think it's better to eliminate him directly."
Jiang Shan didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter, someone makes this scene interesting. Let's see how capable such a Machiavellian man is in turning the tide."
Wang Ding said: "From the current point of view, even if Qian Taichong can reintegrate the remnants of the Zheng family, it may be difficult to return to the past situation where Zheng Zhilong dominated the ocean in Fujian."
"Yes," Jiang Shan took out a cigar, struck a match, lit it and took a deep breath, "The colonial and trade departments are planning to launch two commercial battles to completely attack the Zheng family's last chance of survival.
.”
"You mean that the trade monopoly plan with Japan and the Philippines was discussed at the Senate Standing Committee not long ago?"
"That's right." Jiang Shan said, "The Zheng family's money doesn't fall from the sky. As long as we can cut off these two trade routes, they will be finished - not to mention Qian Taichong, Zhuge Wuhou, Liu Bowen and all
Even if he is resurrected and reincarnated as Zheng Sen's adviser, it will be difficult to turn the tide."
The Zheng Group, which has lost most of its fleet and a large amount of capital, is now like a seriously wounded casualty. It has just recovered from the shock of heavy bleeding - even if it recovers, it will still require long-term nutritional supplements to gradually recover.
Recovery, the trade war with the Philippines and Japan, is to cut off these two pipelines that are crucial to the survival of the Zheng Group.
"As for the chaos in Zhangzhou Bay, I don't think brothers Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Lian will surrender to Damu so easily. There is still a good show of fighting between dragons and tigers. We can just watch quietly."
"What to do with the family members of the Zheng family who have 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 and agreed to our ransom plan. It sent people to send lists to all places in Xiamen and allowed them to name the ransom people." Jiang Shan said, "The Executive Committee also ordered us to make a plan based on 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? Are we sending them to work? That's a waste." Li Yan said with a smile.
"Let's discuss the work in Dengzhou."
The cold wind was biting and snowflakes were fluttering. Lu Wenyuan stood on the tower of the village on Qimu Island, tucking his thick cotton coat tightly around his body. The snowflakes were as big as the palm of his hand and fell in confusion, covering the ground in front of him in a short time.
Apply a thin layer of powder coat.
The winter of 1632 was very cold. The first snow had already fallen in Jiaodong in October. Lu Wenyuan knew from the historical meteorological data sent to the Grand Library that this year would be a very cold winter - even
It will snow heavily in Lingao.
However, compared with last winter, the most critical period on Qimu Island has passed. Now the "Lord of Luzhuang" is a "tycoon" on the Jiaodong Peninsula. Taking advantage of the Dengzhou Rebellion, his "Xiang Yong"
"They occupied the Zhaoyuan area, established more than a dozen villages, and controlled tens of thousands of people. They seemed to be a semi-independent force.
Not only did the government look at him differently, but even the rebels did not dare to provoke him. The troops under the banner of Qimu Island traveled unimpeded in this area.
The owner of Deer Village is also quite proud of his achievements: except for a short summer break during the typhoon season, Qimu Island has been accepting and exporting refugees throughout 1632, and has accommodated more than 180,000 refugees.
More than 100,000 refugees have been transported out. Many places in Dongsanfu have now become deserted and inaccessible - the people were either killed and captured by the rebels or fled to Longkou and Zhaoyuan - most of them have
He was sent to Hainan, Jeju and Taiwan and became indentured slaves under the Senate.
However, the Dengzhou Rebellion was gradually coming to an end. In the eighth lunar month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Dadian led the Shandong camp to defeat the rebels in Shahe, and then pursued them all the way to Laizhou. They defeated the elite cavalry led by Kong Youde.
, Laizhou City was officially relieved from the siege.
On the 12th day of the ninth lunar month 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 engaged the rebels in Beima Town. The rebels mobilized in full force, claiming to be a hundred thousand troops, including 10,000 cavalry. In the end, the rebels were captured
Defeated, 13,000 people were killed, 800 were captured, and countless others fell into the sea and died. The army recaptured Huang County, and Jin Guoqi and others pursued them straight to Dengzhou and camped outside the west gate.
As a "local gentry", the owner of Luzhuang, because of his meritorious service in the battle to defend Laizhou and his "protection of the environment and the safety of the people" in Huang County, after the war, under the recommendation of Sun Yuanhua and other civil servants and generals who defended the city, he got Zhu Dadian, Xie Sanbin and Gao
The lurking man met him in person and promised to reward him for his merits in the bailout case.
Lu Wenyuan made a grateful expression and kowtowed to several adults - cursing secretly in his heart. After the official matter was over, he "visited" these adults privately and gave each of them a gift.
What a generous gift, especially the one given to Zhu Dadian.
Because he held on to Dengzhou for eight months, the court rewarded him as usual and compensated the meritorious officials, generals and gentry who defended the city. Sun Yuanhua did not receive any reward, but he was exempted from being dismissed from his post and continued to serve in front of the army as the governor of Denglai, who was demoted and punished.
Service. The owner of Luzhuang obtained the qualification to "study in prison", that is, he became a "supervisor student", which is equivalent to the meritorious service. Even Feng Zongze also received the military reward of "Xiaoqi".
Now Zhu Dadian and others are most concerned about capturing Dengzhou and completely solving the Dengzhou rebellion. But for Lu Wenyuan, this matter cannot end so quickly. Otherwise, these tens of thousands of officers and soldiers will kill Kong Youde in one go, and he will
These tens of thousands of people are entrenched in Zhaoyuan and Longkou. They need people and food. They have won the battle. What if the officers and soldiers with such momentum have some thoughts?
A few days ago, Xie Sanbin had sent someone to deliver a message, asking him to prepare a thousand dan of grain and three thousand civilians and send them to the army for use.
"Hmph, do you think I'm a big fat pig?" Lu Wenyuan thought to himself. He immediately asked the envoy to go back and report in a friendly manner, saying that although it was very difficult for him, he did not dare to be careless in serving the imperial court.
It takes a few days to prepare.
He looked at the increasingly dense snow and thought of the telegram he had received a few days ago: the Engine Operations Command had agreed to his proposal to extend the Dengzhou Rebellion: Let the rebels inflict another heavy blow on the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were once again in danger.
And because of the tragic victory with his own support - it would be better to lose a few more civil servants and generals, so that in terms of strength and morale, the officers and soldiers will no longer have a peep at his ideas, and his goal of separatist Zhaoyuan will be achieved.
.
"With the heavy snow falling, food must be the focus of the army." Lu Wenyuan thought to himself, "As long as there is a loss of food, the officers and soldiers currently gathered under Dengzhou City will be in chaos without fighting..."
Xie Sanbin is now in charge of grain supervision in Huang County. The grain and grass are shipped from Qingzhou, and Yang Jin of Qingzhou Road is responsible for transshipment. The guards at Zhuqiao and Huangshan Pavilion respond in turn. If the rebels can launch a surprise attack, they can break through Zhuqiao or Huangshan Pavilion.
