Chapter 571 Sneaky (Third update)

When we arrived at the dock, seeing so many grains piled on ships made Lu Xiangsheng feel so good that he was even more polite to a small coastal defense guerrilla. He immediately ordered his men to unload half of the food from the ships, and the rest had to be sent to the islands in the Dongjiang River by fleet.

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly went to make arrangements for the fleet to go to sea. He hurriedly called Zheng Zhihu and explained: "I am going to the capital to face the Holy Spirit. After half of the food is unloaded on the ship, you can continue to take it to Dongjiang!"

"What are you doing? If you unload half of it, you won't be able to unload all of it, or you won't be able to unload all of it!" Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhihu complained that it was troublesome.

When Zheng Zhihu heard this, his face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted in a low voice: "Shut up, do you want others to hear you?"

"What are you afraid of? If I were in Fuzhou, I could still yell. Who can say anything? It's as if it's not troublesome to unload the goods!" Zheng Zhihu replied as if he had already taken a step back.

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he became a little anxious. He turned around and looked around. Not far away, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yansui, was chatting and laughing with the female Jin Yiwei. He was not paying attention to them. This made him relieved and turned back to stare at Zheng Zhihu. Word by word, he shouted in a low voice: "Do you understand that trouble comes from the mouth? This is not Fuzhou, and Governor Denglai is not Xiong Zhongcheng!"

"I know. If I didn't know about the great victory in Liaodong, I wouldn't have spoken in a lower voice!" Zheng Zhihu nodded disapprovingly and said, "Brother, if you ask me, the Ming army can only carry out sneak attacks now. In fact, it is unimaginable. So powerful!"

"You idiot!" Zheng Zhilong was really angry with his younger brother, but he also knew Zheng Zhihu's character, so he had to explain, "Lu Zhongcheng is in a good mood now, so he looks harmless to humans and animals, why don't you let him Feel whether he is powerful or not...forget it, it's better not to feel it. Let me tell you, the imperial court is not only a great victory in Liaodong, but also a great victory in the grassland!"

"What kind of victory on the grassland?" Zheng Zhihu asked curiously. He was ultimately left on the ship and did not follow him to the governor's office, so he did not know about it.

So Zheng Zhilong briefly recounted the grassland war situation he heard, and finally concluded: "Don't think that the military strength of the Ming Dynasty's southern army is not very good, but the northern army is still very powerful. Don't forget, during the Jiajing period, Marshal Qi He was also a northerner who was transferred to the south, but he alone was able to build such a powerful Qi family army and beat the Japanese pirates to the point where they lost all their armor!"

When Qi Jiguang fought against Japanese pirates there, he often suffered no casualties, or the casualties were so low that they could be ignored, which made his reputation flourish in the south. Although it has been gone for many years, his status as the military god is still unshakable. .

Therefore, even though Zheng Zhihu, who prided himself on martial arts and looked down upon ordinary people, immediately calmed down his temper after listening to his elder brother's words and did not dare to cause trouble again.

The unloading of grain was carried out in an orderly manner, and Zheng Zhilong was preparing to leave for the capital. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Zheng Zhihu: "I heard from Lu Zhongcheng that Li Zhiqi... is Li Kuiqi, and he is over there on Pi Island. , after you pass, go there and don’t conflict with him. That’s his territory, you should understand!”

For pirates, there is no doubt who owns the territory. Li Zhiqi used to be the one who had the upper hand over Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhihu was not so arrogant as to go to Li Zhiqi's territory to challenge him, so he agreed without hesitation.

After completing these things, Zheng Zhilong said goodbye to Lu Xiangsheng, and rode north to the capital with only a few personal guards.

After Lu Xiangsheng inspected the port for a while, he also returned to the city. He has been leading troops in Dongjiang for a long time, and has been delayed a lot with local affairs, and now he is very busy. In addition, we have to prepare for the resettlement of the Han slaves who have been evacuated from the island that cannot survive the winter, and we have to supervise the construction of naval warships in preparation for the upcoming war against the captives. There are really many things to do.

As soon as he returned to the governor's office, Wei Mulan, who was accompanying him, suddenly said to him: "Master Zhongcheng, the emperor just conveyed the news that all the Jianlu leaders have gathered in Shenyang, and envoys including the Jianlu allies have arrived. If not If something unexpected happens, the slave chief Huang Taiji will soon ascend the throne as emperor!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but frown, feeling a little regretful. If the army is in Dongjiang at this time, it must send troops to teach Jianlu a lesson! But now that we are across the sea, we are a little out of reach.

After thinking about it, he still said to Wei Mulan: "Order Pi Dao to pretend to attack Jinzhou, Lushun and other coastal towns to make Jianlu nervous!"

According to Lu Xiangsheng's original intention, he must have asked Pi Dao to send troops to North Korea to attack Lord Guanghai, forcing Lord Guanghai to ask Jianlu for help as a gift to Huang Taiji.

But the emperor had already told him that there should be no big moves in North Korea for the time being, and Jianlu would be left to fend for himself. Now Ming Dynasty itself has no food and cannot feed more people.

Lu Xiangsheng could understand what Emperor Chongzhen meant. If the Ming army went to fight in Korea, they would definitely be supported by the Korean people. But after North Korea was tortured by the Jianlu, there was no food left. Not to mention providing food for the Ming army, even they themselves starved to death.

If the Korean people surrender to the Ming army, they have to accept it, right? After all, the Ming army was under the banner of the suzerainty, crusading Jianlu and Gwanghaejun, and solving the Korean people's misery.

But if they harvest it, the Ming army will have no food, so how can they feed it. It would be better to let the Korean people continue to resent King Gwanghae and resent Jianlu. Wait until the day when the Ming Dynasty is able to send troops to attack Lord Guanghai.

Lu Xiangsheng thought of this, turned his head and looked in the direction of Shenyang, and secretly swore in his heart that in the next war, Jianlu must pay more price!

At this time, Shenyang City was extremely lively! From time to time, a large group of people arrived on horseback, and then the leader Jianlu went to greet them, and then they entered the city together. Every time, pedestrians on the street give way, there is a rush.

On the second floor of a restaurant facing the street, Qian Fugui was drinking a drink alone, looking at the people riding horses through the window from time to time. It was almost evening before he paid and left.

When he walked towards Hauge's Baylor Mansion, he suddenly saw a strange Han man looking around at the door of the mansion. Then the door opened, and a man came out and talked to the man for a few words, and then immediately took the man away. Got it in.

Qian Fugui was immediately surprised. He naturally knew who owned that house. How could a strange Han man visit him? It looks like he's a bit sneaky!

Thinking like this, he frowned and thought for a while, then immediately turned around and went outside to buy some gifts, then went to the house and knocked on the door.

"Hey, it turns out that Manager Qian is here, come in quickly, please come in!" The door opened, and when he saw Qian Fugui, the concierge immediately bowed his head and greeted him warmly.
