Famous generals, also smugglers.

Father-in-law Wei understood this, without smuggling, there is no way to raise soldiers.

Shen Youronggu is a famous general in the southern and northern wars, but he is a martial artist.

At present, the status of military generals does not eliminate the argument of Gonggong Wei.

Moreover, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces have always been major smuggling provinces, both ancient and modern.

It is the land of the nine sides, and which general does not privately do smuggling transactions with Mongolian Tatars and Jianzhou slaves.

In the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, smuggling has been an important source of funds for the generals in border towns, and the root is that the country has no money.

Shen Yourong, as a general in Zhejiang, is equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief, and his people are deliberately innovative, and he has taken the conquest of Japan as his wish all his life, and participated in smuggling to obtain money from it to raise troops, which is understandable.

At least, Shen Zhi's actions are much stronger than those generals who smuggle for profit, not for public but for private purposes, and the many greedy maritime merchants along the coast.

Money can be earned, and even dirt can be greedy, but the premise is that the money must be used on the blade, not into private pockets.

In other words, a corrupt official who can do things is more beneficial to the country and the people than a clean official who does not do things.

As for Father-in-law Wei's trip to the south, isn't it also under the idea of smuggling, of course, his old man has a better name for this - sea trade and commerce.

If the city is general, it will be profitable, and if the city is not general, it will come.

In order to make profits, it is necessary to trade and trade with each other; In order not to make Kou come, he must be his own Kou.

If these two things can be achieved, the name of the father-in-law is enough to go down in history forever and be glorious for all generations.

Winning over Shen Yourong and uniting Zhejiang Sailors to jointly recruit Japanese soldiers is a strategic event with operability, virtuous cycle, and great significance.

In terms of strength, Zhejiang has nine guards, which is much stronger than the royal navy of Gonggong Wei. Nominally, Duke Wei was a minister, and as long as he had the emperor's permission, he could act alone without the outer court.

The reason why Jin Xuezeng and Shen Yourong failed to succeed in the expedition was because of the bad in the court. Now, however, it is able to bypass the court and carry out the revolution, which greatly increases its success.

This also shows that in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to really do good things, you still can't do without the participation of eunuchs.

During the Yongle years, he went to the West and was a good example for the younger generations to learn.

How can I deeply grasp the heart of General Shen, Gonggong Wei is confident.

What he is best at in his life is not to suppress by force, but to subdue people and do what they like.

Besides, in Zhejiang, he Wei Gonggong is not without allies.

Father-in-law Sun Long, a weaving eunuch in Suzhou and Hangzhou who was driven from Suzhou, has always regarded his little brother Wei as a difficult brother.

On the day of the Wuxi Incident, when Gonggong Wei had no relatives, only Gonggong Sun gave a song of "Lime Yin" by Duke Qian, this affection, belief and understanding, there is really no need to say anything.

The poem from Zhang Huangyan, the Duke of Cangshui, that Gonggong Wei gave back, also contains too many personal feelings.

There are no birds in the eyes of the two worlds, and it is also a strange story to be poetic, heroes cherish heroes.

It is true that Zhejiang is the base camp of the Zhejiang Party, and the huge profits of sea trade have always been controlled by the Zhejiang Party, although the Zhejiang Party is not as powerful as Donglin in the court, but it has also produced the first auxiliary and several university scholars, and the thin camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Zhejiang Party is now losing power, but Donglin has not been able to uproot it. Its old nest in Zhejiang is not allowed to be touched by others.

In addition, Wei Gonggong knew that in a few years, the Zhejiang Party would have another first auxiliary party, Congzhe, and the "Red Pill Case" and "Palace Removal Case" of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty were related to it.

To be more precise, Wei Gonggong's concubine Xi Li asked Fang Congzhe to have no temper, and the concubine's legitimate husband also asked Fang Congzhe to lose his temper.

Of course, Fang Congzhe is kind-hearted, who knew that the red pill would be fatal.

When the palace was moved, although, it was Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party members who acted as thugs.

But without the support of Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, Yang, Zuo and others would not be able to do anything.

No matter what Fang Congzhe did, he was at least the number one leader of the Ming Dynasty in those years, and even the power of the Zhejiang Party increased for it.

Therefore, this time he sent troops to attack Pingwu Port, and Gonggong Wei was not prepared to expand the situation, and under the circumstances of the greatest possible, he still wanted to cooperate with the Zhejiang Party and the Zhejiang Jiuwei controlled by the Zhejiang Party.

After all, the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party are different, and if one of the two is more like a capitalist party, Wei Gonggong will definitely choose the Zhejiang Party without hesitation.

Because, the vision of the Zhejiang Party is wider and farther than that of Donglin.

This is thanks to the huge profits of sea trade.

In other words, most of the gentry in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong have a better understanding of the world than most of their colleagues in this era.

Seek common ground while respecting differences.

As long as the two sides have a common understanding of maritime trade, the two sides have a fifty percent basis for cooperation, and the remaining fifty percent is just how to divide the cake.

And the vision and knowledge that Grandpa Wei has is exactly the one who makes the cake bigger.

In a word, as long as the Zhejiang Party is willing to cooperate with Father-in-law Wei, his old man can make their profits several times.

Therefore, looking at the generals with a worried face, my father-in-law couldn't help but laugh with his sleeves, saying that the sky is falling and there is our family's roof, what are you worried about.

When the generals saw that Gonggong Wei said this, they could only force a smile, secretly guessing that they were afraid that Gonggong was preparing to "slander" the emperor, otherwise how could it be fine.

Ruan Dacheng also thought so, but he didn't think that the emperor just listened to the slander of this little eunuch, how could this good show end like this.

Gonggong Wei waved his hand and gave an order, ordering the officers and men of the captured Chuanshan Station and the six ships to be escorted behind the fleet, beating drums and flags, and the naval officers and men continued to advance bravely.

If you don't set foot in Pingping Port, you will not return to the teacher!

Cooperation is cooperation, co-optation is co-optation, what should be fought is still to be fought, and what should be killed is still to be killed.

If the eight lambs in Pingwu Port are not lit with sky lanterns, the authority of Gonggong Wei will be questioned.

If you want to cooperate with the Zhejiang Party, you must first let them know that the Admiral Maritime Minister Wei is not easy to bully.

…………

Zhoushan in December is also very cold.

Under the "whoosh" cold wind, the cold energy only makes people unable to stay outside, even staying in the house, which is also a chill to the bone. In contrast, although the winter in the north is also very cold, the impact on people is not as great as in the south.

Song San is the small flag of the Qianhu Institute in the middle and left, and he has been buried in the quilt since dawn, and he doesn't complain that he refuses to get up, but it's really cold outside.

This ghost weather, leaving the bed is like going out of the door, soaking urine can freeze the finches into a ball, there is a warm quilt to stay, who wants to go out.

I slept well, but I smelled a smell of smoke in my nostrils, which was strange and choking.

"Ahem! Ahem! What bastard is burning a fire, the smoke is so big! ”

Song San scolded in the bed, and raised his eyes to see a group of guys outside the house building a fire around the iron pot. I don't know what was boiling in the pot, and a group of people were boiling there.

What to cook?

As soon as he saw that there was something in the pot, Song Sanle was happy, he didn't care about the cold, he hurriedly put on his clothes and pushed open the door and walked over, and found that there was a piece of meat boiling in the pot, and he was immediately happy when he saw it. Several subordinates saw that Song Xiaoqi was coming, and they hurriedly moved the place.

Don't look at Song San as a small banner, but the small banner of the guard is at best a foreman, and they are led to do any hard work, but what are the benefits, but it can't fall into the pocket.

At the end of the year, the people below have nothing to eat, thousands of households rely on the sea, the fish and shrimp are tired of eating, and a few meals of pork a year can be regarded as a big meat.

"Where did you get the meat?"

Song San stirred the cauldron with an iron spoon and asked his subordinates.

One of his subordinates grinned and said: "Da Qiang got it from Wu Song's last time, but he didn't hand it over, and he hid it for several days. ”

"Salty?"

Song San only then noticed that the meat was a piece of salted meat, Jiangnan and Zhejiang both like to marinate meat in salty water in winter, marinate for a few days and take it out to dry for a few days, it can be stored for a long time, and the taste is delicious.
