Zhao Xingguo's sudden reluctance made Liu Hui disappointed, and he clearly saw a satisfied smile in Zheng Laiyong's eyes. As expected, Zheng Laiyong laughed again.

"If Zhao Fuzun had such a correct attitude, why should he suffer from this shock?"

"Don't dare, never dare! The old man Zhishi has been at home for many years, where can he still be worthy of such a general? ”

"Zhao Fuzun should not be modest, it is a good time for the Spring and Autumn Period to be prosperous and strong, how can you hide and not run errands for the imperial court? Besides, if you don't come out on an errand, what will you do to offset the sin of apostasy? ”

Zhao Xingguo is only fifty and eight this year, although there are still two years to be worthy of the sixtieth year, but he has always been healthy and well-maintained, and he looks less than forty to fifty. In the Ming Dynasty, where the average life expectancy was only in their thirties, and after forty they could call themselves old husbands, eight out of fifty really did not deserve the eight words "autumn is prosperous, and the prime of life is strong". It's just that Zheng Laiyong raised in the first half of his speech, but changed his tone in the second half, which was actually very threatening.

In fact, Zhao Xingguo just followed the current practice, modestly pushed back, and then tried his best to get out of the mountain. It was Zheng Laiyong's words that woke him up, what can he be demanding of his guilty body? A qiē can only be seen only by the head of the eight horses in front of him.

According to the above instructions, Zheng Laiyong actually took out the official letter issued by the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, and invited the secretary office to write the appointment on the spot. Zhao Xingguo acted in Guangxin Mansion, and Liu Hui acted in Shangrao County. In duplicate, one copy was handed over to Zhao Xingguo and Liu Hui, and the other was ordered by Zheng Laiyong to be carefully collected, and he would report to the Nanjing Ministry of Officials when he returned to Nanjing in the future.

These treasures were all delivered by Nanjing in an expedited manner of 800 miles, and Zheng Laiyong really couldn't think of what means the Marquis of Zhenyu used to get those old guys in the Nanjing Political Affairs Hall. In fact, he didn't have time to think about it, the order from the headquarters was very urgent, and after recovering Guangxin, he had to immediately sort out his troops, and only had one day to rest, and the day after tomorrow he had to officially set off for Fujian.

Zhang Shi's infantry camp has been divided into four roads at this moment, respectively from Cen Yang Pass, Gukou Pass, Luxi and Xincheng into the nearby Jianning Mansion and Shaowu Mansion. However, Zhang Shi received only one instruction from the Marquis of Nanjing, that is, to expel the Huai King to Quanzhou Prefecture in Fujian, and not to let him wander to the coast of Fuzhou and other places.

The troops of the various departments are advancing rapidly, and today is also the day when the Chinese army under Zhang Shi's command will move to camp. Li Xin used to refer to the Chinese army where the commander was located as the headquarters, and for a time this name was also popular among all the departments under his command. However, Zhang Shi felt that the name of the command was nondescript, and the Chinese army still listened to the majesty.

Mi Yan and Zhang Shi said goodbye today, he was responsible for the supervision of the Pingbo fleet, and could not go south with him, and he had already received the order of the Marquis of Zhen, and he would return to Nanjing after cooperating with Zhang Shi to end the war in Jiangxi.

Before receiving Li Xin's order, Mi Yan had always believed that as long as the Huai King invaded Fujian, they should first go north and Nanjing to attack the Huangmei Bandit rebels entrenched in Chizhou and Ningguofu, and then move south into Fujian after completely destroying the rebels in Jiangxi. However, the order of the Marquis of Zhenyu was just the opposite, and only ordered all cities in Jiangxi to organize regimental training, and a small number of elites from the Three Guards Army were sent as the backbone to help defend.

"I didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhenyu didn't follow common sense, but the order of the Marquis of Zhenju is too broad, and how to implement it is confusing, can Vice General Zhang have a way?"

"The prison army is like a fork, and the reason why the marquis of the town does not give detailed instructions is not to restrain the hands and feet of you and me in front of the enemy."

Zhang Shi didn't think much of Mi Yan's speculation, with his understanding of the Marquis of Zhenyu, since he acquiesced to himself and Mi Yan's actions, and did a lot of work from behind, he was afraid that he would have to act again and again.

"Could it be that the target of the Marquis of Zhenyu is Zheng Zhilong, the chief military officer of Fujian?"

Mi Yan, who thought for a moment, suddenly lost her voice. The order of the Marquis of Zhenyu only explained the policy, that is, not to let the king of Huai into the coastal area of Fujian. However, it was specially pointed out that you can go to Quanzhou. If ordinary people speculate, or the Fujian general military officer can fight well, he can use Zheng Zhilong to get rid of King Huai. In Mi Yan's opinion, this is the genius of the Zhenyu Marquis, who applied the two of them to the goal they had already selected.

Zhang Shi nodded, "When I received the order from Hou Jun, I already expected this, but I just ......" Speaking of this, he was rarely vague, and he didn't continue to speak.

"in the same room?"

Mi Yan spoke up for Zhang Shi. As soon as these words came out, the two of them fell silent.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people, if the Three Guards were to prioritize their troops, they should first deal with the Huangmei Bandit rebels who threatened Nanjing, and then take advantage of the situation to expand their influence to Fujian and even Liangguang. Then it is time to focus on the north of the Yangtze River.

On the other hand, the intention of the Zhenyu Marquis seems to be full of hostility towards Zheng Zhilong, the chief military officer of Fujian, and even extremely rare aggression.

It is extremely rare in the habit of fighting in the town, and the commander-in-chief of the three guards has won countless victories, but they all have one thing in common, that is, almost the vast majority of battles are forced by the situation and have to be done. Now, Li Xin seems to be abnormal, and he started his posture early, and he is even suspected of leading the disaster to Zheng Zhilong, who was an official in the same dynasty.

Soon, Zhang Shishi made his position clear, and although he did not agree with Li Xin's strategy, he would still resolutely obey the implementation. Listening to Zhang Shi's statement, Mi Yan suddenly laughed. Zhang Shi was puzzled by laughter and asked, "You nerd, why are you laughing?" Speak up! ”

"Does Vice General Zhang know Zheng Zhilong's background?"

"I used to be a pirate, but I was recruited by Xiong Wencan, and I made some contributions to the maritime industry!"

"What else?"

Zhang Shi was still puzzled, but he suddenly found something: "It is somewhat similar to the experience of the Marquis of Zhenyu, it is also a recruitment and a meritorious ......."

"What else?"

Mi Yan was still smiling, and only asked him repeatedly. Zhang Shi was finally annoyed by the question.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart! It's unbearable to be so sold! ”

Mi Yan said with a straight face: "Vice General Zhang, you are wrong!" Zheng Zhilong and his people are not half similar to the Marquis of Zhenyu! Xiong Wencan, who recruited Zheng Zhilong, boasted that he could see and use people! In fact, the biggest failure of this Xiong Butang is to recruit this Zheng Zhilong! ”

"Where do you start?"

"Vice General Zhang, don't worry! Let's just talk about the current situation in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong bought a house in Anping, Quanzhou, built a fort around the wall, accused my Daming Haijiang as his own backyard, smuggled it through his official body, and made every day to make money into his own pocket. Now the coastal area of Fujian has become an independent kingdom of Zheng someone, and the sea ships in the past, regardless of pirate merchants, must pay Zheng someone money to buy safety, and he has never paid a penny of this money like the imperial court. ”

"What does the prison mean is that Zheng Zhilong is separating the territory, and the Marquis of Zhenyu wants to eradicate this harm for the imperial court?"

Zhang Shitou didn't know the details of Zheng Zhilong, and after listening to Mi Yan's evaluation, he immediately realized that he had always despised this Zheng Zhilong, no wonder the marquis of Zhenzhen was like a great enemy, and after making trouble for a long time, this guy was also a ruthless character who was inconspicuous and made a fortune.

Mi Yan shook her head again, "Feiye, Feiye!" The Marquis of Zhenyu had the intention of eradicating Zheng Zhilong, but what he did was a struggle for sea power! ”

"Sea power?" Zhang Shi found it even more incomprehensible, the Central Plains has been fighting and killing for thousands of years, and it has always been a battle for territory, and it is the first time I heard that it is going to fight for the sea? What is in the sea? In addition to being able to catch some sea fish and produce some sea pearls, what other use can it be? In Zhang Shi's view, these things are not worth mobilizing at all.

Mi Yan nodded and further explained: "I don't know if Vice General Zhang has heard that the Marquis of Zhenyu has long planned to clean up Zhejiang City?" ”

City Division? Indeed, before the troops were dispatched, Zhang Shi had heard the Marquis of Zhenyu mention Zhejiang City several times, but there was no big movement, and he did not take it to heart.

"Mi Yan just got the news from Nanjing, and Xiong Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, went to Hangzhou, and what he did was Zhejiang City. The Marquis of the town is going to do something to the city! ”

"The city ship department is in charge of the sea to the barbarian trade, and I have a city ship department in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces. And Zheng Zhilong took advantage of the identity of the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty to dominate the maritime trade, and the two cities of Guangzhou and Hangzhou had less than half of the annual income of Fujian, and this was also thanks to the silk produced by the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, otherwise how could it be as good as the two or three? ”

The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau embezzled millions of public funds, Zhang Shi knew about it, but he didn't expect that the market company would make such an amazing profit.

"The Marquis of Zhenyu intends to revitalize maritime trade, and Zheng Zhilong will be a stumbling block! Sooner or later, there will be a battle with our three guards! Does Vice General Zhang still think that the Marquis of Zhenyu is fighting in the same room? ”

Zhang Shi suffered because he didn't know anything about maritime trade, and after Mi Yan's pointing, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, so his doubts disappeared.

The army was about to start, and Mi Yan did not delay any longer, returning to the Pingbo fleet that was stationed and waiting in Poyang Lake. The battle at Neihu was as simple and boring as a family for Wallace, and the Huaiwang rebels did not have a sailor, so his fleet participated in the battle indirectly except for a burst of air artillery in Jiujiang, and the rest of the time was basically the work of the transportation team, connecting the two sides of Poyang Lake, which greatly saved the time for the infantry battalion to move on land.

Listening to Wallace's constant complaints, Mi Yan said meaningfully: "Wait, the hard bones will soon be encountered!" ”

Wallace couldn't understand the implicit meaning of the hard bones, and was confused by Miyan. In the land battle, he asked himself how invincible the Three Guards were, but in this naval battle, he had no confidence at all.

Mi Yan suddenly asked Wallace directly: "How long has Mr. Hua been in the East?" ”

"It's only a year!"

"Have you ever fought a naval battle with the fleet of Zheng Zhi Longde in Fujian?"
