"Xingguo Gong, the imperial court has allocated food and salary every year, and the taxes and navy in various places cannot be intercepted."

Wang Zhiren's eyes shrank slightly: "You are also a person who leads troops, you should know that it is difficult to raise soldiers for this mere 200,000 taels, right?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "It is better to listen to Wu Zheng's advice, there is a way to accept it when it is good, and it is a person who knows the times." ”

Wang Zhiren patted the case and said: "Wu Zheng, do you think my father is afraid of you?" ”

Wu Zheng ignored Wang Zhiren's arrogance at all, reached out and stroked the wine that was vigorously slapped by Wang Zhiren on the table, and then replied: "In the opinion of Xingguo Gong, it should be the imperial court or Wu Zheng who is afraid of Xingguo Gong and Dingjun?" ”

These words made Wang Zhiren furious, and he stretched out his hand to point directly at Wu Zheng, who looked at him calmly.

The two were in a stalemate for a long time, without saying a word.

After all, Wang Zhiren relented, and he had to obey.

The Dinghai Navy does have combat power, which Wu Zheng knows clearly, and Wu Zheng knows it from the time Wang Yilin brought 3,000 people to support him.

From this point of view, Wang Zhiren does have a set of troops to lead the troops.

This is also the reason why Wu Zheng is willing to negotiate with Wang Zhiren and compromise.

Otherwise, Wu Zheng would have already relied on his strength to overwhelm the past, and this world was no longer the Chongzhen Dynasty, and even when the Chongzhen Dynasty was in place, it had already collapsed and spoke with strength.

Wu Zheng even dared to overturn Zhu Yihai, how could he care about another Guogong?

Wang Zhiren also understood that the young man in front of him was no longer the sentinel who had just arrived in Shaoxing Mansion, and if he could negotiate with himself here, he must have the approval of the court and the support of the ministers.

There is only one way for the Yiding Navy to fight against the imperial court and Wu Zheng - a dead end.

From this point of view, Wu Zheng is right - accept it when you see it.

"It is okay to return the right to pay taxes in the four coastal counties, but the taxes in Dinghai must be in the hands of the public."

Wu Zheng was silent.

Wang Zhiren was a little anxious, "In this world now, wars are frequent, and if you say you will fight, one person is less than seven taels a year, I'm afraid it can't be said, right?" My father heard that you Wu Zheng Lianghu Thousand Households soldiers, that is the salary of two taels a month. ”

Wu Zheng sighed lightly: "Why did the Duke of Xingguo only say half of what he said, and it is true that Lianghu is one person in a month, but it is the salary paid by Wu Zheng out of his own pocket, what does it have to do with the imperial court?" Moreover, only the soldiers of Lianghu have this treatment, and after the capture of Hangzhou City, the attached surrendered army will only be paid one or two silver per month. ”

Wang Zhiren suddenly grabbed Wu Zheng's speech, "Okay, then according to your monthly salary of one or two soldiers, if the imperial court allocates me 360,000 silver a year, I can return all taxes to the imperial court." ”

Wu Zheng was depressed, he knew that as long as he was persecuted, Wang Zhiren could only admit it, after all, the current right to speak was not his.

But Wu Zheng didn't want to do this, now Fang Guoan has fled, and the army under his command has been reorganized, in fact, the soldiers of Shaoxing Mansion have not increased, but they are divided into three parts from Fang Guoan, the imperial court, Wu Zheng, and now Wang Zhiren, each account for a part, and in fact, the military salary borne by the imperial court is still a little less, because thousands of people went to Wang Zhiren's place, which was included in Wang Zhiren's part.

With the financial resources of Shaoxing Prefecture, it is no problem to support more than 40,000 troops.

The navy is pressed too harshly, but it is not beautiful.

So Wu Zheng said: "Then as Xingguo Gong wishes, Dinghai tax will be temporarily in charge of Xingguo Gong." ”

Wang Zhiren was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted Wu Zheng's shoulder hard and said: "That's right, how can we say that we are also a lifelong friendship, how can there be a reason to turn an elbow to the literati, you can rest assured, my father's words count, and the taxes of the other four counties will not be touched by my father from today." ”

Wu Zheng exhaled again.

After Wang Zhiren drank a bowl of wine, he said: "Wu Zheng, you and I are the ones who lead the troops, and we know that it is difficult to lead the troops, especially when fighting, the military order cannot be uploaded and issued, which is a delay in the fighter." Now I heard that the imperial court wants to determine the navy to send a supervising army, but is there such a thing? ”

Wu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Where did Xingguo Gong's words come from, and why didn't Wu Zheng hear about it?" ”

Wang Zhiren looked at Wu Zheng strangely and said, "You are smiling me? ”

Wu Zheng asked rhetorically, "What good do I do to you?" ”

Wang Zhiren thought for a while and said, "It's the same." It seems that this group of literati can't even hide it from you! ”

Wu Zheng's heart moved, this matter, it is really possible, what these old men are thinking about is how to restrict the martial arts, and with their own troops besieging Shaoxing Mansion, they are even more jealous.

It's really possible to come to this show behind your back.

However, Wu Zheng also had a hint of wariness against Wang Zhiren, he was really well-informed, he controlled Shaoxing Mansion, and he was not as well-informed as him.

"I really don't know."

Wang Zhiren nodded and said, "I believe it." This group of literati will not regard you as the same kind, and they have already classified you as a martial artist, or you will join forces with me to make them look good tomorrow. ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "This matter may not be true, maybe they also said it casually, at least for now, they are not able to send supervision troops to the armies of Hangzhou and Jiaxing." If you and I join forces to make trouble, we will fall into disloyalty and injustice. ”

Wang Zhiren thought about it, "Then according to you, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Wu Zheng replied: "There is no need to worry too much about this matter, if one day, the army under Wu Zheng is stationed in the supervising army, then the Xingguo Gong will paint a scoop according to the gourd." ”

Wang Zhiren's eyes became strange again, but this time he agreed with Wu Zheng's statement.

Indeed, if even Wu Zheng accepted the imperial court's dispatch of a prison army, what reason did he have for refusing?

So Wang Zhiren no longer dwelled on this matter, "Then what if the court wants to arbitrarily deploy the army under your command and me?" ”

Wu Zheng understood now, Wang Zhiren wanted to drag himself into the water.

"Although Xingguo Gong can rest assured, now that the imperial court has four guards, there is no accident, it should not be pointing fingers at the army under Xingguo Gong, if the war is urgent, then even if the imperial court does not dispatch, Xingguo Gong will take the initiative to send troops to fight, right?"

Wang Zhiren nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

……。

After completing the exchange of interests with Wang Zhiren, Wu Zheng went to Zhang Guowei's mansion.

"Wu Zheng, how are you talking?" After Zhang Guowei gave up his seat, he asked anxiously.

Corresponding to it was the anxious faces of Qian Sule and others.

It is undeniable that Wang Zhiren's weight in the imperial court is not light, even if Shaoxing Mansion is now supported by Wu Zheng's army, Wang Zhiren's weight is still very important.

After all, he has a powerful naval army in his hands, except for the Zheng family in the south, I am afraid that no one can compete with it, including the Qing court.

Wu Zheng can understand their feelings, these people are indeed loyal and righteous people, but for them, in addition to maintaining righteousness, they are also considering the interests of the small group.

Shaoxing Mansion is such a big piece of cake, there are more points over there, and there are naturally fewer here.

When the new prison country is in place, there should be a new atmosphere.
