Chapter 379 Civil and Military Skills (End of Volume 10)
Zheng Haizhu is not complacent about the current stage victory.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao's unconcealable pride, Zheng Haizhu interrupted Cao Huachun's compliments that were hanging on his lips like rice grains and said to the young prince: "Your Highness, it's far from time to drink the celebratory wine. In fact, it's not time to drink the celebratory wine.
, the knife that Long Live Lord ordered us to use this time was used by Zhang Juzheng forty or fifty years ago, and it did bring a lot of money to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but what happened next? "
Zhu Youxiao listened to Lu Xiangsheng's talk about Zhang Juzheng's reforms all the way, and he also understood some of the reality of "the death of people and the restoration of political power". At this time, he calmed down and asked: "Master Zheng, let's do more after we return to Beijing."
What?"
"Don't rush back to Beijing yet," Zheng Haizhu inspired Zhu Youxiao, "Your Highness, I think there is nothing else to do in Lu Di? Who else can you meet?"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Lu Xiangsheng and said hesitantly: "Master Zheng, are you going to visit Qi Dang master Qi Shijiao after all?"
Zheng Haizhu thought to himself: After all, Zhu Changluo is not the emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Youxiao is not Zhu Di either. The young man has never seen the cruel blood, and his ideas are still not open. He is limited by the ways of Zhao Nanxing and those civil servants, so he just wants to
Fighting with the party.
Zheng Haizhu then shook his head and said: "What's the use of pen and ink lawsuits and partisan quarrels? It's a waste of time. Your Highness, in order to implement the imperial decree in the local area, we must focus on two points. One is to prevent multiple forces here from joining forces and supporting the imperial court."
The second thing is that if you are not good at literature, you have to be good at martial arts. So, next, we are going to Dengzhou to meet the governor of Denglai, Tao Langxian."
Zhu Youxiao suddenly gained new energy.
It was not because he was familiar with Governor Tao, but because Master Lu had mentioned the Denglai Navy and the firearms equipment of Dengzhou City when they were on the canal boat.
He originally thought that Master Zheng was eager to return north to perform his duties to the emperor, but he never thought that there would be another half of this exciting and interesting journey where he could actually see the water battle scene that Master Lu had talked about.
What's even better is that Shandong Governor Wang Yaliang sent Wang Song to Jinan to listen to the examination of nuns and monks on the grounds that "people from the Ministry of Rites should be present", and Zhao Sixian of Taichang Temple was also shocked by the actions of Zheng and others
When he arrived, he was very understanding and offered to return to Beijing with the etiquette and music team first, so as to save the court money on travel.
In this way, the people standing in front of you are all our own people like Master Zheng, Master Lu and Cao Banban.
A few days later, the emperor's eldest son's car arrived at Dengzhou City.
Tao Langxian, the governor of Denglai, led a group of civil and military officials to greet him outside the city gate.
This fourth-grade civil servant, whose ancestral home is Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and who lived in Susong as a boy, was historically the first governor of Denglai in the Ming Dynasty.
In this time and space, Zheng Haizhu changed the outcome of the Battle of Fushun. Zhang Quan, who was the Minister of War at the time, understood Nurhaci's ambition and strength better, and petitioned the court to set up Denglai Governor under the Shandong Governor to control the general troops of Dengzhou and Laizhou.
, Tao Langxian, the governor of Dengzhou, took the position of governor of Denglai two years earlier.
After Tao Lang took over the duties of the emperor's eldest son and his entourage, the next day, according to Zheng Haizhu's arrangement of sending someone to ventilate the situation in advance, he asked the Dengzhou General Soldier to accompany Zhu Youxiao and Lu Xiangsheng to the seaside city defense to see the strange things.
At the governor's office in Penglai City, Zheng Haizhu followed Tao Lang first and entered the small living room behind the palace to discuss matters.
Also sitting with him was Cao Xuan, an officer from Tao Lang's Xianbiao camp.
Cao Xuan is the elder brother of Cao Xu, the guest of honor in Prince Lu's palace. He was promoted to governor of Biaoying Guerrilla last year.
This piece of information was mentioned by Cao Xu on his own initiative when he recommended himself to Zheng Haizhu to discuss his future career in leaving the palace.
Zheng Haizhu met Cao Xuan yesterday.
First of all, it was natural to ask whether the family letter that Cao Xu asked the fleet to bring to Songjiang arrived at the Cao family in Shandong.
After Cao Xuan nodded, his next reaction was also very polite. He even compared his younger brother to the former sergeants who followed Zheng He on his voyages to the West. He said that it would be better if his younger brother could have a family in Champa and a queen.
Already.
Zheng Haizhu knew something in her heart. The old man and the eldest son of the Cao family seemed to be sensible people. Not only did they not blame her for using her youngest son who already had a salary as a servant, but he also realized that the wife of the princess died.
Only when Cao Xu went to an overseas country far away from Emperor Tiangao could he freely continue the blood of the Cao family.
Zheng Haizhu had accompanied Zhu Yipai to Denglai to entertain Tao Langxian as early as the forty-fifth year of Wanli when he helped King Lu uncover the assassins of the Wenxiang Sect. Cao Xuan was naturally interested in the newly established interest relationship between the Cao family and Zheng Haizhu.
He would not hide it from his boss, Tao Lang.
Tao Langxian successively took the falcon guns that Zheng Haizhu had been friends with for three or four years. When he heard that Cao Xuan's younger brother had become the woman's subordinate, he began to value Cao Xuan more and more.
"Mrs. Zheng, don't look at the flaws in Cao Youyi's chest. He is not as good as the general soldiers in Dengzhou and Laizhou, but he dare not tell the outside world. Those who are caring about the troubles and disturbances in the ten miles and eight towns must be under Cao Youyi's account."
There were no outsiders in the room, so Tao Lang spoke very directly.
This means that I claim to be able to control the generals in the general army, but Denglai has only been the governor for a year or two. In the hearts of the warlords and arrogant generals, they still only regard the higher-ranking Shandong governor as their superior, and they are not too fond of Denglai governor.
Therefore, the current tough battle mainly depends on the governor's own standard camp. You, Zheng Haizhu, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. What do you want to do and what step you take? Cao Guerrilla will listen to it.
Zheng Haizhu also went straight to the topic and said to Tao Lang first: "I understand what the military gate said. I will also give the military gate an explanation. This time we start clearing the land from Yanzhou to Tai'an. Denglai will definitely not be able to escape. Lu
The foundation of the local Jin gentry is no shallower than ours in Nanzhili. If the big tigers from Denglai try to confront the imperial court, can the military gate's Biao camp be able to stop them?"
Tao Lang first faced Long Live Lord, his trusted envoy, and did not want to waste any time on false politeness.
"Mrs. Zheng, whether we can handle this or not depends on how much food and money the imperial court allocates to our Denglaibiao camp."
Zheng Haizhu nodded: "That's the truth. Junmen, I will advise Long Live Lord that the extra land tax collected after Shandong was cleared can't just be used as Liao's salary and the expenses of several towns in the north. It will be given to you this autumn.
Lai auctioned off two thousand battalions of troops. Denglai guarded the Deng-Liao sea route. If the war in Liaodong continued, the court would still have to rely on this sea route to transport military supplies there. Besides, the military sect was a civil servant with a Jinshi background. How could he be like this?
Those arrogant generals at the border are all on empty pay."
Mr. Tao Lang was fine, but he was still very proud. He immediately said seriously: "That's natural. How could I, Mr. Tao Lang, do something greedy and disgrace the Tao family?"
"If the imperial court has more virtuous and capable ministers like Tao Gong, why should we fear the rampant slave-building." Zheng Haizhu quickly gave him a high hat.
He added: "But there is one section, I still have to remind Mr. Tao, put the food in the bowls of the two generals Denglai first. Your Majesty also means that the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and let those dandy members and outsiders take out the food first.
Silver. Even if the generals occupy a few more acres of land, it can be regarded as a reward from the imperial court for guarding the country."
Zheng Haizhu said, glancing at Cao Xuan who was sitting at the bottom.
Although he was talking about the generals who were in a different system from him, Cao Xuan, the general, had a stern expression that seemed to lighten up.
Tao Langxian even showed a smile: "Okay, I understand. Since the imperial court has done something and something not to do, the emperor is determined to solve the problem of salary. How can we, who receive the imperial salary, do it?"
To act like a softie in front of those powerful gentry is like Cao Guerrilla, right?"
Cao Xuan stood up and said: "The officers in the camp are healthy and they will listen to the orders of the army. If there are Jin gentry servants in Denglai who use violence against state and county officials, the soldiers from the camp will come."
