Chapter 385: Controversy
As soon as Liu Xiang went out, the screen behind Yang Feng was a sound, and soon the figures of Zheng Tuoniang and Xianniang were revealed.
The informant puffed out her little face and said with a disgruntled face: "Master, this woman is too rampant, she asks her uncle to protect her and the family members of those pirates, who does she think she is, the Jade Emperor?" ”
Although Zheng Toniang didn't show a strange look, she said lightly: "Line Niang, you are wrong, how can she be the Jade Emperor if she is a woman." ”
"You ......"
Yang Feng pointed at the two of them with a smile and a helpless look on their faces, as long as it is a woman, once they are jealous, they are all the same, looking at the small mouth of the line girl and the faint vinegar in Zheng Tuoniang's eyes although she was indifferent, Yang Feng knew that if he didn't say anything today, I was afraid that it would not be long before what happened today would reach the ears of Hai Lanzhu, Zhezhe and Da Yu'er in the capital.
Smelling the faint sour smell in the house, Yang Feng had to explain patiently: "Liu Xiang turned out to be a general under Zheng Zhilong, and he was very respected by Zheng Zhilong, but then he fell out with Zheng Zhilong for some reason, although this person is a woman, but she has the spirit of a heroine, she was able to pull out a vote from Zheng Zhilong's subordinates to stand on her own, of course, she was also counterattacked by Zheng Zhilong after doing so, and her life has become more and more difficult under Zheng Zhilong's blockade in the past two years. That's why I came up with the idea to ask for help. ”
"Wow...... Is this woman so powerful? ”
Hearing this, Zheng Tuoniang and Xianniang first showed surprise on their faces, and then they also opened their mouths in amazement. Originally, they thought that this woman just now was just a woman who came to fight the autumn breeze with her own little appearance, but now that Yang Feng said this, this woman is really not simple. Who are those pirates who crisscrossed the Ming Dynasty, Nanyang and Fuso? It is not too much to say that they are extremely vicious and murderous without blinking, but such a group of vicious people are willing to serve a woman as the master, which is enough to show how powerful this woman is.
The informant said in confusion: "Listening to what the master said, I feel that this woman is so powerful." But why should such a powerful woman ask the master for help, can't she grab what she lacks? ”
"You stupid girl." Yang Feng scratched her upturned little nose and smiled: "Haven't you heard, her life is not easy these days, her thousands of subordinates plus family members are at least tens of thousands of people, how much food does it take for people to eat and chew every day?" Moreover, people live in the world and eat whole grains, and when someone is sick, they have to ask a doctor, and they have to take medicine, right? And the hardships of their lives far away from the mainland are naturally conceivable, so she took the risk to come to me for help, but she overestimated her hole cards, thinking that Ben Bo would agree to her conditions as soon as she fooled her, and she underestimated our Jiang Ningjun too much. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Feng's face showed a contemplative look. This Liu Xiang is indeed a smart person, knowing that this is his most difficult time, Zheng Zhilong keeps harassing the coastal areas around Fujian, which does bring great pressure to the Jiangning army, but this does not mean that the situation in Fujian will be eroded.
With the recovery of Fuzhou, Yang Feng transferred a large amount of grain from Nanjing and other places, as well as potatoes, corn and other high-yield crops began to be promoted in Fujian, and the situation in Fujian began to gradually begin to stabilize. It's just that this Liu Xiang is indeed a very capable woman, and she is also very familiar with naval warfare, if she can receive her subordinates, it will be of great help to herself.
Seeing that Yang Feng fell into contemplation again, Zheng Toniang and Xianniang glanced at each other and quietly retreated, they are all smart people, they know when to eat a little vinegar, and when not to disturb men's work......
Not to mention our Yang Daguan, after Liu Xiang walked out of the gate of Yang Feng's mansion, two men leading horses immediately came over, and the first man who was not tall but extremely strong asked a little nervously: "The head of the house, that ......"
"Shut up, this is not the place to talk." Liu Xiang glared, the man lowered his voice, and snorted.
"Oooh......"
The man immediately came to his senses, and quickly handed the reins in his hand to Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang took the reins and turned over on the horse, and the three of them rode out of the city.
When the three of them left the city, left the official road and came to a valley, dozens of strong men on horseback greeted them, led by a strong man with a strong body and dark complexion, with a lion's nose and a solemn expression.
When the man saw Liu Xiang, his originally serious face immediately showed a smile of surprise, and he hurriedly asked after taking a few steps forward, "How is the master?" What did Jiang Ningbo say, did he agree to our conditions? ”
Liu Xiang didn't answer the man's question immediately, but jumped off the horse and said lightly: "Let's go in and talk about it, you go and call the brothers over." ”
Seeing Liu Xiang's reflection, the man's brows were slightly furrowed, and he was familiar with Liu Xiang's temper, and he had a hunch that Liu Xiang's actions might not be too smooth, but he still turned his head and gave a few orders to several subordinates behind him.
A quarter of an hour later, there were more than a dozen men sitting next to a big tree, and Liu Xiang was sitting in the middle.
Liu Xiang spoke first: "Brothers, today I went to the city to visit Jiang Ningbo, and people also saw me, but Jiang Ningbo did not accept our conditions. ”
"Why?" A man with a scar on his face jumped up first, and he shouted, "Why didn't he agree to our terms?" ”
"Li Hu, sit down for me!" The lion-nosed man reprimanded: "Listen to the master's words!" ”
After finishing speaking, the lion-nosed man said to Liu Xiang: "Master, you continue." ”
Liu Xiang glanced at the scar-faced man, and then said lightly: "Jiang Ningbo said, our sincerity is not enough. ”
"Not sincere enough?" Everyone was in an uproar, and an older, middle-aged man in his forties, said with some doubts: "Let's stop and contain Zheng Zhilong's harassment of Daming coastal areas for him, he even thinks that our sincerity is not enough, what does he want?" ”
Liu Xiang sighed lightly, "Uncle Qin, Jiang Ningbo said that he is not unfamiliar with the conditions we offered. He said that if you want him to shelter us and no longer turn over our old accounts in the future, we must accept the court's recruitment, so that he will officially accept us. ”
"Zhao'an?"
As soon as they heard this, everyone looked at each other, and the man named Li Hu even lost his voice and said, "Is he dreaming?" Who does he think he is? You want us to accept Zhao'an and have his dreams! ”
The lion-nosed man also frowned and said: "In charge, we are used to the lawless pirates, and we are used to the days of eating meat and drinking a lot, if we accept the court's recruitment, let's not talk about what the court will do to us, let's just say that there are so many officers and soldiers, and the brothers are used to it, how can we stand those rules?" ”
"Uncle Qin, what do you say?" Liu Xiang ignored Li Hu is lion's nose and looked at the middle-aged man.
Uncle Qin thought for a while before he slowly asked, "In charge, since that Jiang Ningbo wants to recruit us, what conditions did he offer?" ”
Liu Xiang said without hesitation: "His conditions are very simple, he promised that our men and horses can be formed into an army alone, and I will serve as the guerrilla general of the water division." The treatment is exactly the same as that of the Fujian Naval Division, but he still has to send officers to our team and accept his management unconditionally! ”
"Is he crazy?"
Hearing this, even the lion's nose couldn't help but curse, let go of the free and easy Haikou, but to be an officer and soldier, and to accept his orders unconditionally, is there anything more absurd in this world?
"That's it, I really think that I am the Jade Emperor, and everyone has to listen to him!" Everyone also shouted, and for a while, there were voices condemning Yang Feng.
Liu Xiang didn't speak, just looked at the people who were talking coldly, and just when she wanted to speak, Uncle Qin's voice sounded: "Since everyone hates that Jiang Ningbo so much, then we might as well get up and go to the port immediately, get on the boat and go home, why are you wasting time here!" ”
"Uh......"
Hearing this, many people who were scolding happily immediately became dumb like ducks whose necks had been choked.
"Why, don't you speak?"
Liu Xiang looked at everyone and sneered: "Didn't you scold quite happily just now, why don't you continue to scold?" Everyone, don't forget the purpose of our coming here, seeing that it is about to enter the harsh winter, we know very well what the winter situation is, not to mention the lack of clothes and clothing, the problem is that there is still an extreme lack of fresh water, and every year in the past two years, there are old people and children who die because they can't survive the winter, haven't you had enough of such days? ”
"Yes...... But even so, we can't accept the court's recruitment, so what have we become? Li Hu still shouted a little unconvinced.
"Into what?" Uncle Qin on the side shouted: "We will become officers and soldiers, and we will become guerrilla generals." One or two of you will become a hundred presidents, thousands of presidents, and you will be regarded as an official in the future, what do you say you have become! ”
Hearing this, the face of the person who originally scolded the most fiercely also moved a little.
Since ancient times, Huaxia is an official-based country, the government has a very important position in the hearts of ordinary people, if someone has been an official in any family, it is definitely a thing worth showing off for the people of this family, and now these people hear that they also have the opportunity to be an official, and many people's eyes began to appear a strange light.
