510 Xiong Wencan's plan
According to the original idea, Emperor Chongzhen planned to have a good chat with Xiong Wencan after he arrived in Beijing, and then let him go to Shanxi as a governor with peace of mind to properly appease the Jin squires who were being oppressed by Xue Guoguan.
However, the factory guards who secretly monitored him reported that he had a lot of complaints about the imperial court. Thinking about it, it must be uncomfortable to transfer him from the fat shortage of the governor of Fujian, so he has written to oppose He Qiaoyuan's opening of the sea and banning the sparse before, and he also found a reason not to leave office.
Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, and couldn't help but sneer. If it weren't for the fear that cleaning him up would cause Zheng Zhilong's uneasiness, which would lead to some unpredictable things, he would definitely let him know that the court was greater than the sky. After pacifying Zheng Zhilong, after a while, if this Xiong Wencan still doesn't know what to do, he will never mind letting him understand this truth. Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart, so he wanted to summon Xiong Wencan to meet him.
But at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen's mind flashed, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, so he was not in a hurry to summon Xiong Wencan.
Xiong Wencan, who was waiting to see him in Beijing, was really as expected by Emperor Chongzhen, with a belly full of anger. Even when it came to the prosperous Jingshi, there were many new things, and he didn't care much about it. I just found the best restaurant, asked for the best private room, and drank stuffy wine by myself.
The price of Jingshi is indeed a bit expensive, and the cost of his meal can almost cost him half a month. But he really doesn't care about this money, just in the position of governor of Fujian, especially after Zheng Zhilong was recruited, the filial piety he received from Zheng Zhilong was enough to eat for a lifetime. It is precisely because there is so much filial piety that he is reluctant to leave.
Zheng Zhilong's sailors suppressed bandits, as well as collecting protection money at sea, Xiong Wencan not only knew about it, but also shared the money from it, and it was increasing every month. Especially after defeating the great pirate Li Kuiqi and almost dominating the sea, he even had a plan, or mobilized the resources in his hands to help Zheng Zhilong destroy Hongyi, or simply cooperated with Hongyi to make money together. In that case, the amount of money will be too large to count.
But...... But he still had time to send someone to Beijing to investigate, and if he wanted to stay in the post of governor of Fujian, he was already transferred by the emperor.
Thinking of this, Xiong Wencan felt depressed, took another sip of wine, and ate the best dishes in the restaurant. I felt a little cold, so I scolded Xiao Er and directly changed the dish and made a new one.
At this time, he already knew that a Shanxi man had taken over his post as governor of Fujian. Xiong Wencan was thinking in his heart, with his relationship with Zheng Zhilong, he should give some eye medicine to the old hat of Shanxi Tu, so that Zheng Zhilong secretly embarrassed him and asked him to sit unsteadily in the position of governor of Fujian. Even if necessary, he threatened to force Zheng Zhilong to oppose him, and it was best to force the old hat to resign on his own. In this way, if you make more silver taels, and move up and down the relationship, you will most likely be able to transfer it back, right?
If it doesn't work, there is one last step, Xiong Wencan thought in his heart, the military strength of the imperial court, he knows it well. Don't say that on land all the year round, he has been defeated and retreated by Liaodong Jianyu, even at sea, who can move Zheng Zhilong's sailors? At that time, Zheng Zhilong can be allowed to rebel again, and it is said that he was forced to rebel by the new governor of Fujian. After making some big noises, the imperial court will inevitably invite itself, the former governor of Fujian, who has made a meritorious contribution to the recovery of Zheng Zhilong, to come forward, and in this way, the post of governor of Fujian will fall into his hands again.
Xiong Wencan didn't worry that Zheng Zhilong didn't cooperate with this, because he knew that Zheng Zhilong was greedy for money. The huge money situation is in front of him, and Zheng Zhilong will definitely not give up willingly. The new Shanxi native old hat is a lone husband, and he is stained with the blood of countless thieves in his hands. And Zheng Zhilong was originally a thief, so it's strange that they can be harmonious. What's more, judging from all kinds of clues, the purpose of the old hat to go to Fujian is not simple, and it is likely to have something to do with He Qiaoyuan's ban on opening the sea. In this way, there will inevitably be contradictions with Zheng Zhilong.
Xiong Wencan thought in his heart, and after slowly thinking about what to do in the future, he couldn't help but feel good. It was at this moment that he noticed that it seemed to be very noisy outside.
At this time, he also had the heart to listen.
"Let's go, there's no place if you're late!"
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"The Dongjiang cavalry is triumphant, and the emperor has ordered the head of the cabinet to lead the civil and military officials to meet at the gate of the city!"
"The head of the cabinet is going to greet the civil and military officials?"
"That's still fake, I've already greeted it once before, let's go, don't be verbose!"
“……”
When Xiong Wencan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious. Dongjiang Cavalry? Is there a cavalry army in the East River? What does Triumph mean? Do you want the head of the cabinet to lead the civil and military officials to greet him? What a big face! How much credit does that have?
Driven by curiosity, Xiong Wencan didn't drink alcohol, and immediately asked the family to call Xiao Er to come up and ask questions.
When Xiao Er heard the greeting, he immediately went upstairs, nodded in the face of the distinguished guest, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, I don't know what you command?" ”
Xiong Wencan motioned to the family to throw a string of copper coins out, and then asked a little arrogantly, "What's going on outside?" In detail, the money is yours! ”
When Xiao Er saw the string of copper coins, a trace of disdain flashed in his heart. What age is this, and copper coins are still used. However, on the surface, he naturally did not show the slightest expression, but replied with sincere admiration: "Guest officer, you said that it was Lu Zhongcheng, this is our hero of the Ming Dynasty!" avenged the common people of Gyeonggi......"
Before Lu Xiangsheng led the army to Beijing, there was already good news to Beijing, and the imperial court also made a propaganda announcement. And the restaurant is a gathering place for news, and Xiao Er will naturally know more about the situation than ordinary people. Therefore, at this time, he just had the opportunity to talk endlessly to Xiong Wencan, who had just entered Beijing.
"The guest officer didn't know that Lu Zhongcheng was born in Jinshi, but during the Battle of Changli last year, he made great achievements for the imperial court. The prisoners who died in the hands of Lu Zhongcheng can't be counted......"
Xiong Wencan is far away in Fujian, although he can get some information through Di Bao, but this kind of matter that has nothing to do with himself, and he just happened to be in the critical period of helping Zheng Zhilong deal with Li Kuiqi, so he didn't pay much attention to it at all. At this time, when I heard Xiao Er's detailed explanation, I couldn't help but deepen my impression and was a little surprised.
"This time, Lu Zhongcheng is even more powerful, just led 800 cavalry, and took Liaoyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong, in one fell swoop, and personally killed the wild boar Pinurhachi's own son Aixinjue Luo Babuhai, and then flew to the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack checkpoint Anshan Fort, and killed the other son of the wild boar Pinurhachi, Aixinjue Luo Babutai......"
