Shen Tingyang is a person who understands, not a person who understands, and he can't reach this position.

A purely technical official like him, without a few catties, was trampled on in minutes in the general climate of officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"What do you mean by what Lin Anbo said?" Shen Tingyang asked calmly.

"I don't have any other ideas, I just think that one day, if one day, lead thousands of sea ships to land in Tianjinwei, what kind of scenery it will be?" Wu Zheng's face was intoxicated, and it was impossible to look at it directly.

Naturally, this is pretended.

Wu Zheng also believed that Zhang Huangyan and Shen Tingyang could see that he was pretending.

Because only in this way can they know that they are deliberately pretending.

There are many things, it is best to be able to understand it by heart, and it is the most unsuccessful to be able to know it by heart, and it is the most unsuccessful to be able to turn a blind eye.

Sure enough, the faces of the two changed.

Shen Tingyang changed several times in a row, and only after a long time did he say: "Lin Anbo has such ambitions, and Shen is willing to help." ”

Wu Zheng was greatly moved, got up and gave Shen Tingyang a solemn look, and said, "If Mr. helps, the great cause of the Northern Expedition will definitely be like a tiger's wings." ”

Shen Tingyang hurriedly got up, gave in sideways, only accepted Wu Zheng's half-salute, and then replied: "If Lin Anbo can really lead the sailor to land in Tianjin, Shen will live ten years less, no, twenty years less, even if Shen is allowed to die now, Shen will also smile and obey." ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly said: "Sir, you can't die, these thousands of sea ships haven't been seen yet?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, and then burst out laughing.

That's what you know.

When leaving Zhang's house, Wu Zheng deliberately lagged behind Shen Tingyang and Zhang Huangyan a few steps.

Stuffed a roll of silver tickets into Dong's hand.

This action almost made Dong think that Wu Zheng was a disciple and shouted.

But looking at Wu Zheng's clear eyes, Dong chose to shut up.

When he saw that the scroll in his hand was a silver ticket (not a treasure banknote like waste paper, a real money banknote, which could be redeemed at sight, but only used in local money banks and semicolons), Dong was shocked again.

"Sister-in-law, this money comes cleanly, just like Brother Xuan's character, you stay quietly, and often add some oil and meat for the child and this family."

Dong's eyes suddenly turned red, she naturally knew how the Zhang family was so down, Zhang Huangyan was born in a bureaucratic family in Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang, his father Zhang Guizhang, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, once served as a judge of the Shanxi Salt Transportation Division, and the official was a member of the Criminal Department.

How could such a family be reduced to this? But since Zhang Huangyan destroyed his family and donated to the righteous army, it has become like this.

Wu Zheng patted the back of her hand and said, "In the future, if the child needs anything or what is lacking at home, let someone bring a letter to me, or go directly to Wuzhuang to get it." If it weren't for Brother Xuan's heart, I should have sent someone to bring some silver every month. ”

Dong lowered his voice and choked up: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but if you let your husband know about this, I'm afraid I will take a divorce from my concubine." ”

Wu Zheng also lowered his voice and said, "He dares?!" My title is higher than his, and he doesn't dare! ”

Dong was amused with a "poof", she naturally understood that Wu Zheng was joking, Zhang Huangyan was really afraid that Wu Zheng's official position was higher than him, and he would not have confronted Zhu Yihai and was expelled from the court.

But the Dong family also understands that there are not many people who can be brought home by Zhang Huangyan and introduced as brothers in front of him.

So Dong no longer refused and accepted it.

……。

Overnight, the governments of Shaoxing and Hangzhou urgently mobilized.

Within three days, 60,000 men and more than 1,800 ships were recruited.

On the Qiantang River, I saw the scene of thousands of sails stacking on top of each other, and thousands of boats competing for the current.

The two provinces are only three or four hundred miles apart, which has a great advantage, that is, it is very fast.

It is said that the ship is small and easy to turn around, and the Ming army's Northern Expedition is cheap.

On the seventh day of the third month of the second year of Longwu (1646), Wu Zheng ordered the garrison of Jiaxing Mansion to attack Suzhou City, and at the same time, Wu Zheng personally led Li Ruhai and Chi Erhan to lead the army to attack Songjiang Mansion.

Before leaving, Wu Zheng specially summoned two groups of people.

The first group is Chen Shoujie, Chen Qicai's father and son, they are Wu Zheng's baby bumps, although Wu Zheng comes from later generations, but for artillery, even if it is the original prototype of artillery, it is also half-understood.

The sixty-three artillery pieces presented by the Chen family father and son are actually not called red-coated cannons, at best, they are rapid-fire guns called in the later world, which are imitations of the Portuguese in the Ming Dynasty, with a short range and low power, and are more suitable for being equipped with flowering shells to suppress the enemy's approach at medium and close ranges, because its advantages are loading and fast firing speed.

Only the eight captured from Duoduo were called real red-coated cannons, and almost every one of them was around 2,000 catties.

This kind of cannon is powerful, suitable for being equipped with solid shells, bombarding the city gates, heavy shells carry the power of gunpowder, when hitting the city gates, it can be described as indestructible.

Therefore, Wu Zheng specially gathered these artillery pieces and formed a formal artillery battalion for the Chen family father and son.

Although Wu Zheng didn't understand it, there was a sentence that he firmly remembered, the power of artillery is not as simple as one plus one, and the larger the coverage and use, the greater the power.

Summoning the two of them, Wu Zheng earnestly admonished: "The official's ability to use artillery and operate artillery is not as good as your father and son, but what this official wants to say is that these 71 artillery pieces are related to the survival of Hangzhou City and Shaoxing Mansion, and even more related to the success or failure of this Northern Expedition." To put it simply, you father and son dictate the course of the battle. To achieve this, it is necessary for each gun to be able to use it normally, and even more so, to be able to use it whenever you want. I can't guide you on how to do it, but you have to do these two things for me. ”

Chen Shoujie awe-inspiring said: "Since the concentrated use of artillery in Hangzhou City, I understand the power of the artillery coverage that the adults said, and the lowly fathers and sons have been guarding these artillery so far, in order to resist the great cause of the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, these artillery are more important than their lives for the lowly fathers and sons, please rest assured, we will do our best to share the worries of the adults." ”

"Good. This official can go with confidence, go. ”

In the second batch, there is only one person - don't be obsessed.

It's not so much that Wu Zheng summoned him, but that Mo was obsessed with finding it himself.

The reason is that when Wu Zheng swore an oath, he openly promised the death camp something beyond his power.

Wu Zheng's original words were like this, "...... The official promised that if a brave warrior was disabled or killed in battle, the government would support his parents to return to old age, his wife to remarry, and his children to ...... adulthood. ”

That's why Mo Zhizhi rushed to the account book in a hurry.

"Lord, this is not proper, it is really wrong, you have to change ......."

Wu Zhenggang sent Chen Shoujie and his son away, and under the dry mouth, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and asked slowly, "What's wrong?" ”
