Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 498 News from Zheng Zhibao
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Gao Yingyuan chatted with him privately: "Your Majesty, the last group of people has already boarded the boat. About half of them escaped in total. The rest were either scattered in the mountains or were intercepted by Jian captives."

Is it half the number?When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help thinking that this was the result of Lu Xiangsheng's cover, and it was okay. After all, Haizhou was still a bit far from the coastline, and they all walked on their feet.

It’s just that those who are scattered in the mountains and forests are okay, and they can sneak to the seaside in the future, but those who are intercepted by Jianlu will probably die.

Unexpectedly, just as Emperor Chongzhen was thinking this way, he saw Gao Yingyuan and chatted privately again: "Your Majesty, this time is so strange, after those Jian captives stopped the Han people, they didn't kill them on the spot, but drove them back. "

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help asking strangely when he heard it, "Is it special to lead troops to build captives?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it doesn't seem to be the case. Most of the first ones who rushed over were Jianlu's scouts, and judging from their banners, they seemed to belong to different banners. Both Brother Wu and I saw it with our own eyes, and we didn't see them kill anyone!"

Emperor Chongzhen heard it strangely. According to Jianlu's usual urination, it shouldn't be!But it's not important, if you don't understand it, don't think about it, at least for those Han people who were intercepted, it's a good thing.

But there is one thing to worry about next. Although only about half of them escaped this time, there are still three to four thousand people, and they are not counted as escapees that do not belong to Gao Yingyuan's side.In addition, after such a commotion, Han slaves fleeing will definitely happen one after another in the future, and the food supply in Dongjiang will definitely become tense soon.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help thinking about Zheng Zhilong, wondering where he was?The grain transported from Annan must be transported to Dongjiang as soon as possible!It's just a pity that there is no one in the chat group around Zheng Zhilong, so he has no way of knowing what's going on there.

No, we need to increase the number of chat groups.Anyway, the Liaodong War is coming to an end, and the camera function, which consumes a lot of achievement points, should not be used very much, which can save a lot of achievement points.

When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking this way, Zheng Zhilong, whom he was concerned about, led a mighty grain transport fleet, which had just arrived at the coast of Fuzhou, Fujian, and was sailing into Fuzhou port for fresh water supplies.

At the beginning, Zheng Zhilong received the order to send food to Dongjiang non-stop day and night.But Zheng Zhilong had planned the itinerary a long time ago, and when the fleet arrived here in Fuzhou, the supplies on board were almost gone, so no one could say anything about the supplies when they docked like this.

At this time, he was in the cabin listening to the report of the men who boarded the ship in Fuzhou.

"What?" Zheng Zhilong stood up when he heard it, and said in surprise, "You said Master Zhongcheng has been transferred?"

"Yes, big brother!" Zheng Zhibao is Zheng Zhilong's fifth younger brother, and he nodded vigorously, "It is said that there was a bandit riot in Jindi, and Lord Zhongcheng was sent to guard him, and he was in a hurry. He has been away for several days. !"

Zheng Zhilong was very suspicious when he heard it, and immediately asked: "Can't he refuse?"

"Rejected, he wrote a letter to resign, but the court refused, and instead issued a strict order to let him set off immediately. It said that there were many thieves scattered in the mountains and grasslands. North Korea hoped that he would use his experience in quelling pirates to quickly pacify Jin. The thieves are in chaos!" Zheng Zhibao told his elder brother all the news he heard.

"If I had known this, I would have lost his share! So much money wasted!" Zheng Zhilong complained with a bit of pain, and then immediately concerned about another matter, "Then who is the new governor of Fujian and what news do you have?" No?"

"Yes." Zheng Zhibao nodded and said, "He is a man from Jin. He seems to have resigned from office and was at home. He happened to meet thieves. He led three hundred ordinary people by himself and defeated tens of thousands of thieves. A civil official called... ... called Sun Chuanting, who was directly promoted to governor of Fujian."

"Oh, such a capable person?" Zheng Zhilong was suspicious when he heard it, "It should be better for such a person to stay in Jindi to calm the chaos? Why are they transferred to Fujian?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhibao scratched the back of his head, and said with some uncertainty, "It seems... It seems that there is some broken rule that you can't serve as a local official!"

According to the rules of Ming Dynasty, even county magistrates cannot be held by local people.On this point, Zheng Zhilong knew better than Zheng Zhibao, so after hearing this, he was skeptical.

In fact, if Emperor Chongzhen wasn't because of the sea ban, he could have made Sun Chuanting the governor of Yansui and Hong Chengchou the governor of Shanxi, so that the principle of taking office in different places can also be achieved.Therefore, taking office in a different place is not the root cause of this matter at all.

Zheng Zhilong sat back down again, then lowered his head and thought for a while, always felt that something was wrong, after thinking for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "Did Mr. Zhongcheng do anything after I left? "

Zheng Zhibao listened, thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "Brother, once you say it, there is really something. The imperial court published Mr. He Qiaoyuan's memorial to the ban on opening the sea in the mansion newspaper, and Mr. Zhongcheng wrote a letter about it." Opposed and refuted. When Mr. Zhong Cheng left, he had doubts, could it be related to this matter?"

"What?" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help standing up again when he heard it, staring at Zheng Zhibao and asked, "Master He Qiaoyuan's opening the sea?"

Of course he knew about He Qiaoyuan.He Qiaoyuan, who had resigned from office and returned to his hometown when recruiting these pirates, had also done his best to pull the strings.Speaking of which, Zheng Zhilong is also familiar with that boss.

After this lord resigned and returned home, he even opened an academy in his hometown, which has a very good reputation. In normal times, even Zheng Zhilong is respected.

In the past, it was not that he hadn't heard the old man nagging about the sea ban.At that time, it wasn't Zheng Zhilong who had the final say on the sea, so he didn't care.I have heard before that the boss wrote several times to the imperial court about the benefits of the sea ban, but they were all rejected by the imperial court.

Now, there is only Hong Yi in the sea as his opponent. Of course, Zhong Bin and others who were bought from Li Kuiqi before are not stable, and it is too late to solve it, which is also one thing.But generally speaking, Zheng Zhilong's world is already dominated by Fujian's coastal area.

Hearing that He Qiaoyuan was bringing up the sea ban again at this time, he was a little reluctant.It's no wonder that Xiong Wencan wrote a letter to object. After all, Zheng Zhilong and Xiong Wencan had talked about related matters before. They thought that the opportunity to make a fortune was coming, but in the end such a thing happened.

After getting Zheng Zhibao's confirmation, Zheng Zhilong sat back slowly, frowning tightly, and began to seriously consider this matter.
