Chongzhen Chat Group

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Gao Yingyuan chatted with him privately: "Your Majesty, the last group of people have already boarded the ship. About half of them have escaped in total, and the others are either scattered in the mountains or intercepted by Jianlu."

Half the people? When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but think that this was the result of Lu Xiangsheng's cover, so it was okay. After all, Haizhou was still a bit far away from the coastline, and they all walked on their feet.

Those scattered in the mountains and forests are fine, and they can sneak to the seaside in the future, but those intercepted by the Jianlu will probably die. After all, these Lu Xiangsheng retaliated against the Jianlu in Liaodong and decimated the Jurchen population.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen had just thought this when he saw Gao Yingyuan coming over to chat privately again: "Your Majesty, it's strange this time. After the Jianlu captured the Han people, they didn't kill them on the spot, but just drove them back. "

"Oh?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but asked strangely, "Is it special to lead troops to build captives?"

"Your Majesty, it doesn't seem to be the case. Most of the people who came over first were Jianlu Tanma, and judging from their flags, they seemed to belong to different flags. My fifth brother and I both saw it with our own eyes, but we didn't see them killing anyone!"

Emperor Chongzhen heard this very strangely. According to Jianlu's usual urinary behavior, it shouldn't be! But it's not important. If you don't understand it, don't think about it. At least for the Han people who were intercepted, it can be considered a good thing.

But there is one thing that must be taken care of next. Although only about half of them escaped this time, there were still three to four thousand people, and that did not include those who did not belong to Gao Yingyuan's side. In addition, after such a commotion, the escape of Han slaves 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 but miss Zheng Zhilong, wondering where he was? The grain transported from Annan must be transported to Dongjiang as soon as possible! It's a pity that there are no people in the chat group around Zheng Zhilong, so he can't know the situation there.

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

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

The order Zheng Zhilong received at the beginning was to send grain to Dongjiang day and night. But Zheng Zhilong had planned the itinerary long ago, and specifically asked the fleet to arrive here in Fuzhou. The supplies on the ship were almost gone, so no one could say anything about docking for supplies.

At this time, he was in the cabin listening to the reports from Fuzhou's men who were on board.

"What?" Zheng Zhilong stood up and said in shock, "You said Master Zhongcheng was transferred?"

"Yes, brother!" Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhilong's fifth brother, nodded vigorously and replied, "It is said that there was a riot in Jin, and Master Zhongcheng was sent to guard it, and he was in a hurry. He has been gone 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 refuse, but the court refused. Instead, he issued a strict order to set off immediately. He said that there were many thieves scattered in the mountains, forests and grasslands. North Korea hoped that he could use his experience in quelling the pirates to quickly quell the Jin Dynasty. 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 was wasted!" Zheng Zhilong complained with some pain, and then immediately turned to another matter and said, "Who is the new governor of Fujian? What news is there? No?"

"Yes." Zheng Zhibao nodded and said, "He is from the Jin region. He seems to have resigned from office and was at home. He happened to encounter thieves. He defeated tens of thousands of thieves with one person and led 300 ordinary people. His name is... ...named Sun Chuanting, and was directly promoted to governor of Fujian."

"Oh, such a capable person?" Zheng Zhilong was full of suspicion when he heard this, "It would be better for such a person to stay in Shanxi to quell the chaos? Why should he be transferred to Fujian?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhibao scratched the back of his head and said a little uncertainly, "It seems...it seems that there is something that breaks the rules and cannot serve as a feudal official in the local area!"

The rule of the Ming Dynasty is that even county magistrates cannot be local people. Zheng Zhilong knew this better than Zheng Zhibao, so he was doubtful after hearing it.

In fact, if Emperor Chongzhen had not imposed the maritime ban, he could have made Sun Chuanting the governor of Yansui and Hong Chengchou the governor of Shanxi. This would also achieve the principle of taking office in different places. 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 feeling that something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Has Mr. Zhong Cheng done anything after I left? "

Zheng Zhibao listened, thought carefully, suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "Brother, as you said, there is really something. The imperial court published Lord He Qiaoyuan's memorial on the sea ban in the imperial newspaper, and Lord Zhongcheng wrote a letter about it. I objected and refuted it. When Mr. Zhongcheng left, he had doubted whether it might be related to this matter?"

"What?" When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he couldn't help but stood up again, stared at Zheng Zhibao and asked: "Master He Qiaoyuan's ban on opening up the sea?"

Of course he knew about He Qiaoyuan. He Qiaoyuan, who had resigned and returned to his hometown after recruiting pirates like them, had also contributed and pulled the strings. Speaking of which, Zheng Zhilong is also familiar with that old man.

After this gentleman resigned and returned home, he also opened an academy in his hometown. It was quite famous. In normal times, even Zheng Zhilong was respected.

In the past, it was not like he had never heard this old man nagging about the establishment of a sea ban. At that time, Zheng Zhilong didn't have the final say in the sea, so he didn't care. I have heard before that the old man wrote to the court several times about the benefits of establishing a sea ban, but he was rejected by the court.

Nowadays, there is only one Hongyi who is his opponent in the sea. Of course, it is also a matter of course that Zhong Bin and others who were bribed from Li Kuiqi are still unstable and there is no time to solve it yet. But generally speaking, the coastal area of ​​Fujian is already dominated by Zheng Zhilong.

At this time, when he heard that He Qiaoyuan was mentioning the lifting of the sea ban again, 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 originally thought that the opportunity to make a fortune was coming, but in the end, something like this happened.

After receiving Zheng Zhibao's confirmation, Zheng Zhilong slowly sat back, frowned, and began to seriously consider this matter.
