Just when Nanmao was trying his best to have a big fight with Liu Xiang in the summer, a special and mysterious guest came to visit Lingao, which surprised him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The person in charge of matchmaking is not small, and he is actually the staff of Xiong Wencan, the governor of Liangguang. The person who can make the governor come forward is definitely not an unknown person, and the governor's face cannot be left unlimited, Xia Nan received them in South Park, and all the high-level figures on his side attended.

In fact, Xia Nan basically guessed where this guest came from. Governor Xiong Wencan was initially transferred from the governor of Fujian to Guangzhou, and the local connections and forces had not yet had time to be established, but the contacts in Fujian were more extensive. Although Xia Nan is nominally his subordinate, he doesn't have much friendship in private, so it is somewhat abrupt to come to the door so rashly. The person who can make him pay so much attention and send someone to Lingao to introduce him to Xia Nan is already about to come out.

Sure enough, the guest reported to himself: "In Xia Zheng Zhiguan, he is a subordinate of General Feihong, and he has seen General Xia Shen." ”

People who know the goods are all moved when they hear this, this Feihong General is the famous Fujian Five Tigers guerrilla general Zheng Zhilong. Because of its flying yellow, Fujian is mostly called General Feihong.

Although Xia Nan's position is slightly higher on the surface, Xia Nan is not confused to the point of measuring the strength of both sides by official rank, and said with a smile at the moment: "It turned out to be the envoy of General Feihong, if you are not welcome, please take a seat." ”

Waiting for Zheng Zhiguan to sit down, Xia Nan asked in a hurry: "One of me and General Feihong is in Guangdong and the other is in Fujian, and I have no contact with each other, so I don't know what to learn?" ”

Zheng Zhiguan arched his hand and said: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I came here this time, with the trust of the general, I have something to ask General Xia Shen, and please look at the face of Governor Xiong and promise us." ”

"If you have something to discuss, let's talk about something first." In the summer, Nan cocked Erlang's legs and changed to a more comfortable position, his face was as usual, but he thought in his heart: If it is too demanding, Chongzhen's face is not good, and Xiong Wencan's face is nothing.

"General Xia Shen's subordinates fought with Liu Xiang at the mouth of the Pearl River, one ship bravely defeated five ships, this battle was fought beautifully, and the reputation spread, and our general heard about it as far away as Xiamen."

"Oh?" Xia Nan was not surprised, Liu Xiang's men ran away from the two ships, and the news must have spread, Zheng Zhilong knew that it was not unusual, what he cared about was what Zheng Zhilong was going to ask, if it was to take the initiative to ask for an alliance.

"I heard that the magic weapon of Xia Shenjiang is the artillery on the ship, which is extremely sharp. If General Xia Shen is willing to cut his love, my general is willing to buy it with a lot of money. ”

Zheng Zhilong has no shortage of ships or people, the only thing he lacks is excellent artillery. The Hongyi cannon cast by the imperial court is too bulky and impractical to use as a naval gun, and the cannon of the red-haired man is good, but there is currently commercial competition between the two sides, and money cannot buy it. At this time, the combination of the old lock boat and the caron cannon came out of nowhere, and it made a stunning appearance, which made Zheng Zhilong's eyes light up when he was thirsty for artillery: he has a lot of ships of four or five hundred materials, and if he can match this kind of light artillery, it will be like a tiger with wings. So after learning the result of this battle, he couldn't wait to contact Xiong Wencan, and through him to pull the strings to buy guns.

Hearing that it was not to form an alliance, but to buy cannons, Xia Nan was quite disappointed. The Caron cannon is the capital of the navy's livelihood, how can it be easily sold to others, especially if the other party is a potential opponent.

He thought for a while, raised his head and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zheng, this cannon is not easy to cast, it costs a lot, I can't cast many doors every year, and I don't have enough for my own family......"

Zheng Zhiguan asked, "But are you worried that the silver will not be enough?" Although rest assured, the price is set by you, and my general can afford it. At this time, Zheng Zhilong had successively exterminated his former sworn brothers Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin and others, entrenched in Zhongzuosuo and Anping, and controlled the smuggling trade with Japan in the coastal areas of Fujian.

Xia Nan was a little embarrassed, and a categorical refusal would be tantamount to offending Zheng Zhilong, the navy was still developing, and it would take time, and in the South China Sea, it was more tricky to anger this sea lord than to offend the government.

Seeing this, Sima De knew Xia Nan's dilemma, and stood up and said: "This kind of cannon is the foundation of my general's army, and I must ensure that my family has enough for it." If someone else comes to ask, you don't have to think about it, and not a single cannon will be sold, but since General Feihong is interested, you can sit down and talk......"

Zheng Zhiguan was thoughtful, he couldn't tell which sentence was true and which sentence was false, but he believed that such a sharp weapon would not be sold easily, and no one would sell it to his peers. However, since Zheng Zhilong sent him to do this seemingly impossible transaction, he naturally has his own confidence, in addition to Xiong Wencan's face, the most important thing is his own strength.

He smiled and said, "Talk? How to talk about it, where to talk about it? My general is sitting in the center and left, and he really lacks skills. If General Xia Shen is more cheerful, he agrees to buy us cannons, and if your fleet passes through Fujian in the future, we will be able to protect your troops thoroughly......"

The meaning of this is very clear, promise to sell artillery, and if you want to do business at sea in the future, you will be safe and sound, otherwise you will not want to pass through the coast of Fujian safely.

Everyone tasted the threat implied in it, and looked at Xia Nan in unison.

Xia Nan snorted: "General Feihong takes care of the contemptible people so much, and the contemptible people thank you first." However, whether this cannon is sold or not is very important, and others can't call the shots, so I have to meet with General Feihong in person. Since he can't be separated by all kinds of opportunities, let me, an idler, come to visit! ”

The threat implied in Zheng Zhiguan's words was avoided by Xia Nan pretending to be confused, and then he was countered by the first army, implying that he was not qualified to talk about the sale of artillery, and his face was a little unbearable, so he said: "Since General Xia Shen is willing to come to Fujian, then the feelings are good, and my general is waiting for the master in the center and left, and he will say goodbye." ”

Xia Nan warmly retained: "Brother Zheng just came, why are you in a hurry to leave?" Anyway, I have to stay for a few days, so that I can do my best to be a landlord and be hospitable. ”

"General Xia Shen has received his kindness, and he still has something to do in Fujian next time, so he will not stay longer and say goodbye!" Zheng Zhiguan insisted on leaving.

At this time, Xiong Wencan's staff came forward to persuade: "Brother Zheng, everyone is a member of the imperial court, once born and twice matured!" Since this matter of buying and selling cannons cannons can not be negotiated for a while, let's talk slowly, Xia Shenjiang is so hospitable, of course we can't dismiss his interest, right? ”

Xiong Wencan had a close relationship with Zheng Zhilong when he was in Fujian, and even when he came to Guangdong, he didn't cut off contact, and Zheng Zhiguan knew it. He was a little unhappy with Xia Nan's words, but Xiong Wencan's face wanted to be given, and since the staff said so, he got off the donkey down the slope: "Then listen to Mr. Liu, and disturb Xia Shenjiang for a few days." ”

"As long as the two of you don't dislike it, stay in Lingao for a few more days, and when I'm ready, we will go to Fujian to see General Feihong together." Summer Minami was smiling. (To be continued.) )
