Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 511 Xiong Wencan's Plan
According to the original idea, Emperor Chongzhen planned to have a good chat with Xiong Wencan after he arrived in the capital, and then let him go to Shanxi to be the governor with peace of mind, so as to appease the gentry in Shanxi who were being oppressed by Xue Guoguan.

However, the factory guard who secretly monitored him reported that he had a lot of complaints about the court.Thinking about it, it must be uncomfortable to transfer him from the fat job of governor of Fujian. Before this, he wrote a letter against He Qiaoyuan's opening of the sea and found reasons for not wanting to leave.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sneered when he thought about this.If it wasn't for fear that getting rid of him would cause Zheng Zhilong's uneasiness, which would lead to some unpredictable things, he must let him know that the court is bigger than the sky.After calming Zheng Zhilong, after a while, if Xiong Wencan still doesn't know what to do, I don't mind letting him understand this truth.Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart, so he wanted to order Xiong Wencan to have an audience.

But at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen's mind flashed, and he had an idea in his mind, so he was not in a hurry to call Xiong Wencan.

Xiong Wencan, who was waiting to see him in the capital, was as angry as Emperor Chongzhen had expected.Even in the bustling capital, where there are many novelty things, he didn't pay much attention to them.I just found the best restaurant, asked for the best private room, and drank alone.

The price of the capital is indeed a bit expensive, and the cost of his meal can almost cost half a month's salary.But he really didn't care about this little money. Just in his tenure as the governor of Fujian, especially after Zheng Zhilong was recruited, the filial piety he received from Zheng Zhilong was enough for a lifetime.It was precisely because of so much filial piety that he was reluctant to leave.

Not only did Xiong Wencan know about Zheng Zhilong's navy's suppression of bandits and the collection of protection fees at sea, but he also received money from it, which increased every month.Especially after defeating the great pirate Li Kuiqi and almost dominating the sea, he has already made a plan, either mobilizing his own resources to help Zheng Zhilong destroy Hongyi, or simply cooperate with Hongyi to make money together.In that way, the money will be too much to count.

But... But before he had time to send someone to the capital to take care of it, he was already transferred away by the emperor if he wanted to stay in the position of governor of Fujian.

Thinking of this, Xiong Wencan felt depressed, took another big sip of wine, and ate the best dishes in the restaurant.Feeling a little cold, he scolded Xiaoer to change the dishes and serve new ones.

At this time, he already knew that a Shanxi native had taken over his position as governor of Fujian.Xiong Wencan was thinking in his mind that with his relationship with Zheng Zhilong, he should put eye drops on that Shanxi native hat, so that Zheng Zhilong would secretly embarrass him and make him unstable as governor of Fujian.Even if necessary, they can use Zheng Zhilong as a bargaining chip threat, and it is best to force that old hat to resign on his own.In this way, if you spend more money and work up and down the relationship, you will be able to transfer it back with a high probability, right?
If it still doesn't work, there is one last step, Xiong Wencan thought bitterly in his heart, he is fully aware of the military strength of the imperial court.Not to mention being defeated by Liaodong Jianlu all the year round on land, even at sea, who can move Zheng Zhilong's navy?At that time, Zheng Zhilong can completely rebel, saying that he was forced to rebel by the new governor of Fujian.After some big disturbances, the imperial court will inevitably invite himself, the former governor of Fujian, who has contributed to recovering Zheng Zhilong, to come forward. In this way, the post of governor of Fujian will fall into his hands again.

Xiong Wencan was not worried that Zheng Zhilong would not cooperate in doing so, because he knew that Zheng Zhilong was very greedy for money.The huge money scene is in front of him, and Zheng Zhilong will never give up willingly.The new Shanxi native hat is a single husband, and he has been stained with the blood of countless thieves.And Zheng Zhilong was originally a thief, so it's strange that they can be harmonious.What's more, judging from various clues, the old man's purpose in going to Fujian was not pure, and it might have something to do with He Qiaoyuan's ban on opening the sea.In this way, there will inevitably be conflicts with Zheng Zhilong.

Xiong Wencan thought in his heart, and after slowly figuring out what to do in the future, he couldn't help feeling better.It was at this moment that he realized that it seemed to be very noisy outside.

At this time, he also had the mind to listen.

"Go quickly, if you go late, there will be no seats!"

"What's the matter, what happened?"

"The Dongjiang cavalry returned triumphantly. The emperor ordered the chief minister of the cabinet to lead civil and military officials to greet him at the gate of the city!"

"The chief assistant of the cabinet will lead the civil and military officials to greet him?"

"That's still false, I have already greeted you once before, let's go, don't be long-winded!"

"..."

When Xiong Wencan heard this, he couldn't help being a little curious.Dongjiang Cavalry?Dongjiang has cavalry?What does Triumph mean?Do you want the chief minister of the cabinet to lead the civil and military officials to greet him?What a face!How much credit does this have to do?

Driven by curiosity, Xiong Wencan didn't drink too much, and immediately asked the servant to call Xiao Er to come up for questioning.

When Xiaoer heard the greeting, he immediately went upstairs, nodded and bowed to the honored guest, and said with a smile on his face, "Guest officer, what's your order?"

Xiong Wencan signaled the servant to throw a string of copper coins out, and then asked a little arrogantly: "What's going on outside? After explaining in detail, the money is yours!"

When Xiaoer saw the string of copper coins, a little disdain flashed in his heart.What age is this, and copper coins are still used.But on the surface, he naturally wouldn't show it at all, instead he replied with a look of sincere admiration: "Guest officer, you said it was Lu Zhongcheng, this is our Ming hero! He avenged the common people in the capital city... ..."

Before Lu Xiangsheng led the army to the capital, news of success had already spread to the capital, and the court also made a publicity announcement.And the restaurant is a gathering place for news, Xiao Er naturally knows more about the situation than ordinary people.Therefore, at this time, he just had the opportunity to talk endlessly to Xiong Wencan, who had just entered Beijing.

"The guest officer doesn't know that Lu Zhongcheng was born as a Jinshi master, but he made great achievements for the court during the Battle of Changli last year. There are too many Jianlu who died at the hands of Lu Zhongcheng..."

Xiong Wencan was far away in Fujian, and although he could obtain some information through the Mansion Newspaper, he didn't pay much attention to this kind of matter that had nothing to do with him, and he happened to be helping Zheng Zhilong deal with Li Kuiqi at a critical period.At this time, when I heard Xiao Er's detailed explanation, I couldn't help but deepen my impression, and I was a little surprised.

"This time, Lu Zhongcheng was even more powerful. He only led [-] cavalry troops, and he took down Liaoyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong. Anshan Post Fort, an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack pass, killed another son of the wild boar Pinurhachi, Aixinjueluobabutai..."
