497 The news of Zheng Zhibao
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Gao Yingyuan chatted with him privately: "Your Majesty, the last group of people have already boarded the boat. There are about half of the people who have escaped. The others are either scattered in the mountains or intercepted by Jianlu."
Is half the number? Emperor Chongzhen saw it and couldn't help but think that this was the result of Lu Xiangsheng's cover, which was OK. After all, Haizhou is still a bit far from the coastline, and they all walk with their feet.
But those who were scattered in the mountains and forests were fine, and they could sneak towards the beach in the future, but those who were intercepted by Jianlu would probably not escape and die. After all, these Lu Xiangsheng took revenge on Jianlu in Liaodong and reduced the number of Jurchens.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen had just thought about this when he saw Gao Yingyuan chatting privately: "Your Majesty, this time it is so strange that after the Jianlu intercepted the Han people, they did not kill them on the spot, but drove them back."
"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but ask strangely, "Is it more special to lead troops to build the barbarians?"
"When you go back to Your Majesty, it seems that it is not. The first ones who rushed over were Jianlu and the horses, and from their banners, it seems that they belong to different flags. Both of us and our fifth brother saw it with our own eyes, but we didn't see them killing people!"
Emperor Chongzhen was so surprised that according to Jianlu's usual urinary nature, it shouldn't be! But this is not important. If you can't figure it out, you won't think about it anymore. At least it's a good thing for those Han people who were intercepted.
But there is something that must be worried about next. Although only about half of the escapes were fleeing back this time, there were still three or four thousand people, and it was not considered a escape from Gao Yingyuan. In addition, after such a fuss, the escape of Han slaves will definitely happen one after another, and the food in Dongjiang will be very nervous soon.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but worry about Zheng Zhilong. I don't know where he was? The food transported from Annan must be transported to Dongjiang as soon as possible! It's just a pity that Zheng Zhilong has no people in the chat group yet, so he can't know what's going on there.
No, you have to increase the number of people in the chat group. Anyway, the Liaodong war is over, and the photo function that consumes a lot of achievements should not be used much, and it can save a lot of achievements.
When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking this way, Zheng Zhilong, whom he was concerned about, led a huge grain transport fleet. He had just arrived on the coast of Fuzhou, Fujian and was sailing into the port of Fuzhou to replenish supplies for tamsui and other things.
Zheng Zhilong received the order to deliver the food to Dongjiang day and night. However, Zheng Zhilong had already prepared the itinerary and specially asked the fleet to arrive in Fuzhou, the supply on the ship was almost gone. No one could say anything about the docking supply.
At this time, he was listening to reports from his subordinates who boarded the ship in Fuzhou in the cabin.
"What?" Zheng Zhilong stood up after hearing this, and said in surprise, "You said Lord Zhongcheng has been transferred?"
"Yes, brother!" Zheng Zhibao was Zheng Zhilong's fifth brother. He nodded vigorously and replied, "It was said that the Jin area had just been in chaos, so he ordered the Zhongcheng to guard the city, and the urge was very urgent. He had been leaving for several days!"
Zheng Zhilong heard this very suspiciously and immediately asked, "Can't he refuse?"
"He gave up, and he wrote a letter to refuse, but the court did not allow it. Instead, he issued a strict order to set off immediately. He said that there were many thieves scattered in the mountains and grasslands. North Korea hoped that he would use his experience of quelling the pirates and quell the thieves in Jin quickly!" Zheng Zhibao told his elder brother what he heard.
"If I had known this, I would have paid him a share! I wasted so much money!" Zheng Zhilong complained in pain, and then immediately concerned about another matter, "Who is the new governor of Fujian? Is there any news?"
"Some." Zheng Zhibao nodded and said, "It was a person from Jin. He seemed to have resigned from his post at home. He happened to meet a thief. He led three hundred ordinary civil servants with one person and defeated a civil servant who had tens of thousands of thieves. He was called... Sun Chuanting, who was directly promoted to the governor of Fujian."
"Oh, such a capable person?" Zheng Zhilong said with a suspicion, "It should be better for such a person to stay in Jindiping and treacherous chaos, right? Why should he be 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 a breaking rule that he cannot serve as a rank-in official in the local area!"
The rules of the Ming Dynasty were that even county officials could not be held by locals. Zheng Zhilong knew this better than Zheng Zhibao, so he was skeptical after hearing this.
In fact, if Emperor Chongzhen had not made the sea ban open, he could have made Sun Chuanting serve as the governor of Yansui and Hong Chengchou the governor of Shanxi, so that the principle of taking office in another place could be achieved. Therefore, taking office in another place was not the fundamental reason for this matter.
Zheng Zhilong sat back again, then lowered his head and thought for a while, and always felt something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly looked up and asked, "Have you done anything after I left?"
After hearing this, Zheng Zhibao thought about it carefully, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Brother, you said that there is really something. The court published a memorial on Lord He Qiaoyuan's opening of the sea ban in the residence newspaper. Lord Zhongcheng wrote a letter to object and refute it. When Lord Zhongcheng left, he had doubted whether it would be related to this matter?"
"What?" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but stand up again, stared at Zheng Zhibao and asked, "Mr. He Qiaoyuan's opening of the sea ban?"
Of course he knew about He Qiaoyuan. He Qiaoyuan, who had recruited pirates and resigned from his post and returned home, had also worked hard and led the way. To be honest, Zheng Zhilong was also familiar with the old man.
After resigning from office and returning home, this adult also opened a college in his hometown. He is very famous. In normal times, even Zheng Zhilong is respectful.
In the past, he had heard the old man nagging about the opening of the sea ban. At that time, Zheng Zhilong had the final say on the sea, so he didn't care. He had also heard that the old man wrote to the court several times to talk about the benefits of opening the sea ban, but they were rejected by the court.
Now, there is only one red barbarian on the sea that is his opponent. Of course, Zhong Bin and others who had been bribed from Li Kuiqi before are still unstable, and it is not time to solve the problem. But roughly speaking, the coastal area of Fujian is already Zheng Zhilong's world.
At this time, he heard that He Qiaoyuan was asking for the release of the sea ban again, and he was a little reluctant. No wonder Xiong Wencan wrote a letter to object. After all, Zheng Zhilong and Xiong Wencan had talked about things before. He originally thought that the opportunity to make a fortune was coming, but this happened.
After getting Zheng Zhibao's confirmation, Zheng Zhilong sat back slowly, frowned, and began to seriously consider this matter.
