Chapter 0495: Factions

"Immediately prepare ships to escort Xunlou and its escorts to Yangzhou." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen only said very briefly.

Zheng Zhilong was stunned, and immediately responded, "Weichen Zheng Zhilong is grateful." ”

Zheng Zhilong originally thought it was a big deal? After a long time, I let people send people away, and Lao Tzu has become a transport team? It's not very cool to be trapped in this cold north all the time! has been busy transporting people to the emperor to Korea, and I don't know if there is a return.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, and when Zheng Zhilong stood up, he handed the prepared holy decree to Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong took the holy decree and said with a smile, "These little things also have to be bothered by the inspector himself?" When I go to the next place, I will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for the inspector. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled faintly, he naturally knew how to deal with these officialdom recruits, the more he didn't care about anything, the more it made the people below itch, "Lord Zheng's kindness, I understand it, you go and prepare the ship immediately, remember one thing, you can't leak the news, you have to use a fast boat to send these people to Yangzhou as quickly as possible, and you must not let anyone find out!" ”

These are not difficult to do, Zheng Zhilong and they are all old pirates, and what they are doing is a sneak attack, "Since the prosecutor and the imperial court are in such a hurry, I will arrange it immediately." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice, "Lord Zheng, the prince appreciates your talent very much, ask me to bring a message to your lordship!" This time, although it is not a big deal, it is a good opportunity for Lord Zheng. ”

Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the opportunity. Or is it to the north, relying on the emperor to have many opportunities, and every move is an opportunity? "Oh? Inspector, can you get through a little bit of the wind? What chances? ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen mysteriously held Zheng Zhilong's shoulders and said softly, "The emperor is going to do something to those officials in the south who are dissatisfied with the imperial court!" You tell me? ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't know how to do it? I don't know some of the rules of officialdom very well, after all, he has never been an official, but he has no good impression of those magistrates in the Ming Dynasty, and it is their gang that robs them. He can also be regarded as a diehard loyalist of the imperial power! If not by the emperor. It is impossible for him to be promoted through connections like ordinary officials! He is the kind of official who has to wait for the emperor to send an errand and then make meritorious deeds, such a person. The more loyal he is to the emperor. There is no emperor. They can't even keep their place!

Zheng Zhilong nodded gratefully, "Then, how many people do I have to transport." Do I want my elite to help the emperor? ”

Zheng Zhilong said this, mainly for the purpose of temptation! He was also worried that the emperor would not mind about not going to war in Korea.

The more Zheng Zhilong has no foundation in the court, the longer he has been surrendering, the more uneasy he will become. Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen knew very well that it was impossible to completely eliminate factions!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Of course, if you can think like this, I believe that the prince and the emperor will be very happy, this is the time to show your loyalty, and it can also show that your subordinates have combat effectiveness, otherwise, the prince and the emperor still think that your army will only fight and rob houses, how can it be good?" ”

As soon as Zheng Zhilong heard Xun Lou's words, he was anxious, "Lord Zhen, the emperor and the princess, they don't really think so, right?" My people in the DPRK are heroes useless! My men can't go too far from the shore, and they're no match for those iron riders! If the infantry is against the sailor, my men will still have some combat effectiveness after they go ashore! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled faintly, "Lord Zheng, what are you anxious about?" Am I not kind enough to remind you? The emperor and the prince don't mean this, you don't have to be presumptuous. Let me ask you, how is the North Korean side now? Has Man Gui gained a foothold over there? ”

The more Zheng Zhilong heard Xun Lou say this, the more he felt that it was very possible, and the people who were soldiers were most afraid of being told by others that they would not fight! In fact, Zheng Zhilong's men and horses are very combative! To be able to dominate at sea, you can't do it without excellent skills!

Zheng Zhilong sighed and shook his head, "I don't see it, I don't know the place, the North Koreans themselves are poor and fart, and there is not much extra food, I have now transported more than 15,000 infantry, of course, these infantry are basically the same as the common people, the training time is too short, and they have not fought any battles, and more than 10,000 ordinary people have been transported over, I estimate that the problem of standing on my feet is not big, I heard that Lord Mangui is negotiating with the king of North Korea, asking him to give up Pyongyang, and Li Liang of North Korea seems to be very reluctant, Lord Mangui was encamped on Phi Dao, and was taking over Mao Wenlong's old ministry and collecting grain from the local people in Korea. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, similar to what he thought, where is the collection of food, it is to grab food! Now North Korea is lively! On the one hand, Mangui's army was continuously transported to North Korea by Zheng Zhilong, which could not only delay the attention of some Huang Taiji and Houjin, but also give Zu Dashou's gang enough deterrent!

Man Gui went to North Korea, and he was different from Mao Wenlong! Mao Wenlong has been mixed in Korea for a long time, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is also worried that once Mao Wenlong becomes bigger, it will be difficult to control zhì, and Mangui is a die-hard loyalist of the Ming and Ming imperial power, he is a Mongol, without the support of the emperor, his influence is not enough to call for rebellion, and there is no need to worry about the problem of not being affected by the emperor's life abroad.

"As long as you block the sea control in the north of the Ming Dynasty, all the taxes for business transactions between the mainland and the northeast will be in the hands of the imperial court, as long as the imperial court can get enough money and grain to support Mangui's garrison in Korea! The impact on the whole picture is crucial! "Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen knows Zheng Zhilong's role better than anyone else, and moving Zheng Zhilong's sailors to the north for his own use can be at least worth 100,000 troops!

Zheng Zhilong suddenly realized, "However, most of Phi Dao Mao Wenlong's old troops were absorbed by Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Jin army!" They also have warships, and the merchants in the past have always handed over taxes to them, huh? Are we fighting with them? ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice, "Lord Zheng, you are now the emperor's person, a person from Liaodong, and you are not all the way with the emperor, can't you see it?" In the event of a conflict, sink all the warships in Liaodong! Surprise exterminate the warships in the north except for your Zheng family's army! ”

Zheng Zhilong glared and was taken aback, "Lord Inspector, will the emperor be blamed for doing this?" (To be continued......)
