I'm really not doing business

Chapter 154 Live in the moment, why not be greedy?
Luo Bingliang looked at the red-faced Quanhao who applauded Zeng Guang, and suddenly he had a sense of understanding.

Zeng Guang is not a master. Everyone, including Quan Hao, knows that Zeng Guang just knows what Quan Hao wants to hear, which is why he can peddle and successfully peddle those reasonable bullshit.

Power tycoons are not lacking a root string in their heads. Power tycoons just need recognition. Someone needs to tell them personally that you are doing the right thing, doing a good job, and keep doing it.

Everyone is just taking what they need, Zeng Guang needs money to maintain his so-called lectures, and the powerful need someone to say what they dare not say in their hearts.

When Zeng Guang received the money, all the creases on his face were smiling, without the slightest sense of aloofness that he had before.

And Luo Bingliang continued to wander around on the painting boat, looking at the various states of the world.

Those girls forced to smile even though they were in pain, and those high rollers were extraordinarily arrogant, spilling wine all over the floor, but they didn't talk about pity at all. This is a ship with twisted desires, it's so exquisite , and so ugly.

Many Gao Liji have begun to slowly accept and enjoy this kind of depravity and sinking, drinking heavily, picking off the only fig leaf on their bodies, not caring who is behind them, just enjoying the indulgence of this moment and joy.

Perhaps for these Gao Liji, there is no difference between the people behind them and the dogs. Their lives seem to be like this. Congliang is a distant dream for the prostitutes of Ming Dynasty. For Gao Liji, even a dream is impossible. No, since the day they were raised as Gao Liji, they were doomed to die without anyone caring.

Live in the moment, why not be greedy?
The sun has set, and the sea surface is golden. Under the rippling golden waves, occasionally fish will jump out of the water, and then hit the water heavily, leaving golden splashes. Under the wind, the boat slowly moves forward and opens The water ripples, leaving ripples, this scene is too beautiful to behold.

A woman walked up to Luo Bingliang's side, combed her hair, and said with a smile on her face, "The afterglow of the setting sun is thickly colored, and the clouds are red for half the day. What a beautiful sunset."

Luo Bingliang looked at the woman beside him with a frown, and said doubtfully, "Shouldn't you be with the big guy?"

This woman, known to Luo Bingliang, is the leader of the ship. She plays a tune when she is in the mood, and stays in the room all day when she is not. Pickup is up for grabs.

Some scumbags still like this style, the more lofty they are, the more obsessed they are.

In fact, it mainly depends on the price. The leader and the coquettish people below do not go the same way. The top card of the brothel wants to earn enough money to marry and raise children.

"Where do they have the dignity of a military master?" Huakui said with a smile: "Where did the military master come from? The master specially told me not to put on such a lofty airs. After serving, I will have a lifetime of glory and wealth."

"Don't inquire about things you shouldn't worry about." Luo Bingliang said calmly, "I'm not from the same place."

The oiran didn't care too much, let the sea breeze blow his sleeves, adjusted his angle, showed his most beautiful side to Luo Bingliang, and then continued: "Now on the boat, is the military master so ascetic? Look at them, they are mating like livestock. What a dirty scene, I want to go ashore on the way of the military master, will the military master be willing to help me?"

"I should be a piece of jade, jade that hasn't been carved yet."

Luo Bingliang sneered and said, "Don't, Sun Keyi spent a lot of money to buy you from the dental shop. I don't have that much money. I'm going to redeem you, so what should I do?"

After Luo Bingliang finished speaking, he left without any nostalgia.

It is true that the Tiqi who followed him on the boat were all confidantes. Even if Luo Bingliang did something, his confidants would not say anything, let alone Sun Keyi, and everyone maintained a tacit understanding.

On this fallen ship, the desires in his heart will be infinitely magnified, but Luo Bingliang doesn't like this. If he takes Sun Keyi's woman, he has to appease Sun Keyi. In the future, will the Sun's tax be checked or not?
Yuanfu of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly told the little emperor what is the evil of bribery and what is the evil of appeasement. Luo Bingliang, as a cavalry, knowingly committing crimes, death may be a luxury, and even hurt his majesty's son as a sparring partner.

His child is only 13 years old, and he is already the second best player in the world in the junior group. His future achievements will be limitless, and he will surely shine in the family.

As a father, Luo Bingliang couldn't cheat his son outside because of his lower body, right?So Sun's tax needs to be checked, so he can't reach out.

The oiran tidied up her clothes in a little embarrassment, and pretended to be pitiful. She seemed to be of no use to this military master. She looked at Luo Bingliang's back and sighed heavily. She looked at the sea. On the boat, he continued to sink, but he didn't know if he still had the strength to save enough money to redeem himself.

Luo Bingliang has been looking for other party members besides Zeng Guang, but the price of this boat is too expensive, and there is no one except Zeng Guang. After the ship docked at Yuegang, Zeng Guang disappeared as quickly as possible. In the sea of ​​people.

Zeng Guang was good at hiding, but Luo Bingliang was better at finding it.

In a deserted corner, Luo Bingliang grabbed Zeng Guang, threw him into the hydrofoil spaceship, and escorted him to Beijing.

Can the majestic ecstasy make the cooked Zeng Guang fly away with wings?

As a Tiqi, Luo Bingliang always completes his tasks in the fastest time, so as to win some holy family and atone for Luo Sigong's utter lack of obedience.

When Luo Bingliang was in Beijing, he told his son more than once to be gentle, he was the emperor, if something happened, the whole family would die!

But Luo Sigong is a stubborn donkey, the emperor told him to kill him, and he really did.

In Yuegang, Luo Bingliang met Luo Gongchen, the co-prefect of Haiphong of the Metropolitan Government, and then learned a lot of interesting things under Luo Gongchen's introduction.

For example, when He Xinyin gave lectures in Fujian before, she came from Songjiang Prefecture. After giving lectures in Fujian, she returned to her hometown in Jiangxi, Ji'an, and was almost caught by Pan Jixun before fleeing to Huguang.

After Luo Bingliang saw the coastal defense inspection of the Penghu Inspection Department, he learned an amazing news, that is, Jilong Island is very large, with many trees, which is very suitable for shipbuilding.

Daming has a lot of people, so it needs a lot of firewood. It is a very common thing to cut wood for salary. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, and firewood are the most important. When firewood is the main living fuel, there are actually not many trees that can be used for shipbuilding in southern Fujian. , There are also places where logging is not easy.

Now, less than a hundred miles away from the Penghu Inspection Department, Jilong Island is very large and has many trees. Observation with the sextant sent by the imperial court clearly shows that the southernmost point of Jilong Island, the North Pole, emerges at an angle of 22°, while the northernmost celestial pole is at an angle of 25.4°
Zhangzhou is 24.6°, and Nanping is 24.5°. That is to say, the distance from north to south is at least [-] miles, and these [-] miles have the timber needed for shipbuilding.

"It's hard." Luo Bingliang felt a little emotional. His trip to the boat trip caused some confusion, that is, the government's decree, whether it is telling the truth or lying, doing good or bad things, will be regarded as telling lies and deeds. Bad things, any decree, the powerful and even most of the people are the first to oppose it.

For example, the hydrofoil sailboats of the Penghu Inspection Department surveyed the big island in the southeast. If the imperial court recruited civilian husbands, it would be a disaster that exhausted the power of the people.

For example, it is obviously more beneficial to the small people to clean up the occupation, and it does not receive widespread support in Nanya. The clearing, cleaning up, and returning the land are all for the small people to have a breathing space, but the common people seem to believe that they have taken refuge in the powerful. , is the more correct answer.

It's hard to get things done.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it, right?" Luo Gongchen was extremely optimistic.

There are so many people who have lost their land. Since the great powers of the Ming Dynasty did not give them a way to survive, they should find a place to get a new way to survive. From Fujian to Jilong Island, it only takes a day's water journey, and there are large plains suitable for farming.

Logging is a tiring job, but living in Daming is also a tiring job.

"Perhaps." Luo Bingliang felt a little confused.

At this time, at the southernmost point of the Ming territory, in the Luzon Governor's Mansion on Daming Street in Manila, Luzon, a fierce quarrel was going on. Luo Lian from Taixi impassionedly opposed a resolution made by the Governor of Ming Yin Zhengmao, and Yin Zhengmao leaned back in his chair, Looking at Lori Ann.

This is the seat of the governor of Luzon, and also the seat of the former king of Luzon. Yin Zhengmao sat on it as the uncle of Daming Sishui and Wu Xun.

"I think it's better for you not to execute the officials of the Governor-General of Luzon, Spain. Whether it is Commander-in-Chief Gaudi or Governor Francisco, doing so will embarrass each other. If you keep these prisoners, you can exchange them with More bargaining chips." Luo Lian opposed Yin Zhengmao's execution of Francisco, the Spanish governor who was captured in the previous battle of Manila.

Luo Lian stretched out a hand and said: "I know that Ming Dynasty is strong enough in the far east, but what about the other side of the Pacific Ocean, what about Taixi? If Francisco and Gaudí are returned to Spain, King Felipe II , I will thank Daming for giving him enough respect, which is very important to the king, and it will also allow Daming Ocean's ships to obtain a more secure trading environment, so will Da Ming's ships stay in the ports of the Far East forever?"

"I don't think the governor and generals need to fear an opponent who has already been defeated."

"What you said makes sense." Yin Zhengmao was persuaded by Luo Lian, nodded and said: "I agree with you, but it depends on how much Felipe II is willing to pay for this face."

The captives can be returned, but there must be enough bargaining chips. This is Yin Zhengmao's idea of ​​making money. Without money, it is difficult for him to do things.

As the de facto king of Luzon, he has great discretion over Luzon affairs, and this discretion includes the disposal of prisoners of war.

"Orientals are always full of wisdom and cunning." Luo Lian breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Lian was also a prisoner, but a prisoner who belonged entirely to Deng Zilong. Of course, Luo Lian had to speak from the perspective of a prisoner.

From the perspective of Daming, Hong Maofan and other foreign barbarians captured Luzon, the vassal state of Ming, and now they are defeated by Daming, so the rebellious chief Gao Di and the governor should be beheaded to show the public, as an example to others. Historically, Daming did so.

Before beheading this time, Yin Zhengmao wanted to listen to Luo Lian's thoughts, completely considering the possible impact of killing Gaudi and Francisco, and it was best not to affect the galleon trade between Daming and Hongmaofan.

Silver is one of the core motivations for Daming's current whip technique.

Yin Zhengmao didn't understand Taixi, or he wanted to know, in Taixi, the consequences of Luzon's governor being executed by other countries, what kind of impact it would have, and whether it would affect the business relationship between Daming and Hongmaofan. Obviously Francisco should be Hongmao A nobleman in Fanzhong, and his status is not low.

Then the next step is the exchange of benefits, and Francisco should be able to sell for a good price.

Yin Zhengmao thought for a while and said, "The Folangji people should completely withdraw from Luzon, including the Cebu Islands and Mindanao."

Luo Lian thought for a moment and said: "This may require force to compete. We Tessie are like this. If you are strong, you can listen to your words. Felipe II has to accept the fact that Spain has completely lost its influence in Tessie. force."

"Where did my man go? He hasn't shown up for more than ten days."

Luo Li'an has not seen Deng Zilong for more than ten days, to be exact, fifteen days. Luo Li'an is a little worried, worrying that something bad happened to Deng Zilong. There are too many accidents at sea, storms, Indigenous people, diseases, and various animals are all synonymous with death.

Luo Lian was convinced that she could not find a better home than Deng Zilong, and she was even more convinced that Felipe II would not pay any ransom for herself.

So Deng Zilong is everything to Luo Lian.

"He has something to do, he is a general of Ming Dynasty." Yin Zhengmao did not explain in detail.

It wasn't until sunset that the giant three-masted deck ship in Manila appeared in the sunset on the horizon. The barge sailed out of the port and began to tow, while the oars on the ship kept paddling. , into the port of Manila.

The ship is full of traces of battle, the smell of gunpowder smoke has not dissipated, blood is everywhere, it seems that a tragic fight has taken place, the side of the ship is even damaged in several places, and the sail of the mast at the stern has been burned out. , while on board, there are busy soldiers.

Deng Zilong jumped off the trestle bridge, but he was not injured, but the battle made him a little tired.

"These red-haired fans do have two brushes, but there are only two. We still took down the Sebu Camp Fort in Cebu Island." Deng Zilong said with a smile on his face when he saw Yin Zhengmao.

Yin Zhengmao sized up Deng Zilong to make sure he was not injured, and then asked solemnly, "How about the casualties?"

"Fourteen brothers died, and 26 were injured." Deng Zilong also had a serious face. The casualties were already very high, because there were less than 240 red-haired fans in the Sebu camp in Cebu, but there were more than 6000. Lu Song soldiers, these Lu Song soldiers are weak in combat power, but they still caused some troubles for the Ming army's siege.

Hearing this, Yin Zhengmao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's better than I expected. After all, it's going to the island."

Deng Zilong said with a smile: "The process of landing on the island was much easier than we expected. The enemy's elites are too few, and they all rely on these [-] Luzon soldiers for defense. However, they don't even have the idea of ​​shooting three arrows at the sky. See Those who came to us immediately dispersed.”

Deng Zilong has not been in Manila for the past ten days, entirely because he went on a mission to capture Sebu Camp Fort on Cebu Island.

The entire Luzon is divided into three parts, the main island of Luzon across the sea from Jilong Island, the Cebu Islands consisting of hundreds of islands further south, and the southernmost Mindanao Island.

The lock heart of the entire Cebu Islands is Sebu Camp Fort on Cebu Island.

A year ago, Deng Zilong tried to reproduce the tactics of the Manila Islands. He captured the king first and led a 1000-man raid on Fort Sebu, but he was blocked without even seeing the shore. Then Deng Zilong changed his tactics. He started to peel off the cocoon, and cleaned up the surrounding pirate lairs little by little, and finally wiped out all the red-haired fans in the camp of Sebu.

The whole process lasted for a whole year.

And the commander-in-chief is Zhang Yuanxun, the general of the Luzon army. After a dull loss, Luzon's southern soldiers actively adjusted, and it took a whole year to finally gnaw down the camp fort on Cebu Island.

Winning the lock heart of the Cebu Islands is of great significance. It means that the Luzon Navy has basically taken shape, and it means that the Luzon Navy has changed from a passive defense to an active offensive in the battle with the Hongmao Fan for Luzon. .

Before, the Hongmaofan took advantage of the many islands and reefs of the Cebu Islands to attack and harass the Ming army. Now, it is the turn of the Ming army to occupy this location and attack and intercept the Hongmaofan in Mindanao.

This kind of active change in the battlefield was also very hard. Even the only giant three-masted plywood ship was scarred and scarred.

The year-long battle had left the ship in tatters.

Deng Zilong also looked at the huge plywood ship full of scars and shook his head and said: "This broken ship is indeed a warship, but it is not very useful, and its flexibility is really poor. If you are approached by the enemy's endless boats, Surrounded, coupled with fire attack, I am afraid it will be very difficult to win, it is the same as the shortcomings of the building and boat back then."

"We need better warships."

Yin Zhengmao stood up straight, and said quite accurately: "The first five-masted ocean-going ship to go into the sea will be delivered to the Luzon Daming Army."

Uncle Ying Yang, Zhang Yuanxun, had just arrived at the trestle bridge, and asked incredulously, "What did you say? Can you say it again?"

Yin Zhengmao said with certainty: "This is something I confirmed with the imperial court when you were fighting. For this reason, Yu Shuai wrote a letter himself and scolded me. The first ship of Songjiang Shipyard in Songjiang Town If we are defeated in Luzon, Yu Shuai will avenge us for passing the foreign ships but not handing them over to the soldiers of Songjiang Town!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanxun looked at Yin Zhengmao in disbelief and said, "Are you still saying that you are not a relative of the emperor who is a wandering folk?"

Yin Zhengmao said incredulously, "No way."

"Don't you have a granddaughter in the capital? It's not too different in age from His Majesty. It's better to lobby Yuanfu. Even if you are a concubine, then Yin Butang is an upright relative of the emperor. Otherwise, the court is so holy. I'm not used to it." Zhang Yuanxun moved his hands and feet to relieve the dizziness of getting off the boat.

The first five-masted ocean-going ship absorbed the experience of warships from Taixi and was improved from Fengzhou. After delivery, the five-masted and 21-sail warship will be given priority to the Luzon army. This may be a beautiful thing.

It is strange that the general soldier of Songjiang Town has no opinion.

"Be careful, after Yongle, there will be no noble queens in the harem of Ming Dynasty." Yin Zhengmao said with a solemn expression.

Zhang Yuanxun also asked curiously when he heard it: "It's a strange thing to say. Empress Renxiao and Empress Xu of the Yongle Dynasty are Xu Da's eldest daughter. After the Renzong Dynasty, why didn't there be any honorable queens in the harem?"

"Don't talk about the affairs of the Tian family." Yin Zhengmao still refused to say, but he actually knew the reason.

In fact, what he said was not accurate. After Yongle, there were still noble queens in the harem of the Ming Dynasty.

In the harem of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, there was an honorable concubine, Concubine Zhang, who was the granddaughter of Zhang Yu, the Zhongwu King of Hejian, the daughter of Zhang Fu, the British Duke, and the niece of Zhaoyi, the imperial concubine of Ming Chengzu.

This respected concubine, Zhang, was also the last honored queen in the harem of the Ming Dynasty.

During the orthodox years, Zhang Fu's inability to go to court had something to do with his daughter's embarrassing position in the palace.

In the early years of Zhengtong, Renzong’s wife, Chengxiao, was honored as the Empress Dowager. Yingzong was young, and the Empress Dowager was regent. Zhang Fu’s daughter married Renzong, and Renzong’s wife was in power. If there is no conflict, then it is strangeness.

It's not that women are jealous, but that Zhang Fu's daughter at that time had posed a substantial threat to Cheng Xiao's Queen Zhang's position as queen.

This is not difficult to understand. There was only one queen in the Yongle Dynasty, and that was Xu Da's eldest daughter, Empress Xu. As the middle and late Yongle period, the Xuande period, and the Zhengtong period, the king of all honors was the British Duke Zhang Fu himself.

It is self-evident what Emperor Yongle meant when he selected his concubine Zhang into Renzong's harem.

Emperor Renzong died suddenly ten months after succeeding to the throne, and his concubine Zhang did not give birth to a child. It is reasonable for the Empress Dowager to be dissatisfied with Zhang Fu.

During the Zhengtong period, Zhang Fu was unable to go to court as a minister of the auxiliary state, and as a nobleman, he was bullied by the emperor's servant Xining into his family, so he could only swallow his anger.

If the housework is a problem, it will be a problem, but this housework has become a state matter, and Zhang Fu's decline represents the formal formation of the style of Ming Dynasty's prosperity of civilization and military.

When the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was discussing with the court, he once asked Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, when did the Ming Dynasty begin to restrain the military generals and overseers by civil officials?In other words, since when did our Daming Warlord System start?

Wan Shihe said that in the second year of Zhengtong, when Wang Ji killed An Jing, the commander of the capital, civil servants had the power to kill or seize military officials.

In fact, Wan Shihe showed his attitude of earnestly studying very early on. At least he was able to trace the root cause of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the restraint of military commanders by civil officials. Wan Shihe went from being scolded to being honored by the emperor. Uncle Da Zong, it didn't happen overnight.

Even as far away as Luzon, this is an untouchable slide, and Yin Zhengmao will not express his opinion at will. After all, he is now the uncle of Sishui, and he is now one of the martial arts.

It's a bit weird for a Wen Jinshi to be conferred the honor of martial arts, but Yin Zhengmao likes to personally lead the soldiers to kill the enemy, so the style of painting is not so weird.

"If you don't get drunk today, don't go home. Reward the three armies. Your Majesty asked Chen Lin to send five bottles of sweet potatoes from the capital. Let's drink it today." Yin Zhengmao changed the topic and talked about rewards.

Zhang Yuanxun asked with a smile: "Isn't the name of that wine called Guojiao? You can drink it. I'm afraid Hongmao Fan will counterattack. Keep an eye on it. In case Liang Shouyu asks for help from Cebu Island, I can lead the army to support and drink." It’s a mistake, we have no way to turn back, if we lose the battle, it’s better to jump into the sea, if we turn back after the defeat, the court officials will eat us alive.”

Deng Zilong looked at Luo Lian who was standing at the end of the trestle bridge, that was a bit big-headed and gentle.

Deng Zilong walked over, looked at the calm Luo Lian and said with a smile, "Are you angry?"

"No, after all, you are going to fight the red-haired fan. If you want to fight, of course you don't need to tell me." Luo Lian shook her head and said, Luo Lian has red hair. If you say red-haired fan, she is the most typical red-haired fan. As the general of Ming Dynasty, Deng Zilong did not need to explain to Luo Lian when he fought.

Deng Zilong didn't need to tell Luo Li'an about the mission, Luo Li'an had never asked for it before, of course she had a request for Deng Zilong, but it was a woman's request.

"You are the master and I am the slave. Why do you have to tell me where you are going? I don't even have a child. What right do I have to know the master's life or death?" Luo Lian's words were full of resentment. This resentment is child's problem.

Although the in-depth exchanges between the two were very frequent, Deng Zilong would withdraw at critical moments every time, which caused Luo Lian to never have a child. Luo Lian was really depressed.

So she called herself Hongmaofan.

Speaking of this, Luo Lian was a little helpless, and even more dispirited. In Taixi, she suffered a lot because of her red hair. When she arrived in Ming Dynasty, she was still a red-haired fanyi.

"Oh, what a big deal!" Deng Zilong said indifferently, "Isn't it just being stabbed in the back twice?"

Deng Zilong's situation is quite special. His first wife, Meng Shiwanli, passed away in the second year. At that time, Deng Zilong was fighting in Guangzhou and never cared about his successor. His father told him about a marriage. Everyone's daughter.

In fact, Deng Zilong doesn't like everyone's ladies very much, and because of the war, he has never had the time to go back and marry his stepmother.

If Luo Li'an hadn't given birth to a child, everyone would have met by chance and just had fun, the sky was high and the sea was wide, and it would be just a good memory if they didn't meet again. If Luo Li'an gave birth to a child, wouldn't Deng Zilong want to give Luo Li'an a title?
Deng Zilong was a little hesitant before, but since he was a man, since he teased him at the beginning, there is no reason for him to be irresponsible.

So Deng Zilong didn't bother to worry about it, and just let it happen.

"Really?!" Luo Lian's eyes immediately became surprised, and she said with a smile: "Come, follow me into the house."

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! !
