Each has a plan
Chapter 1169 Each has a plan
When Shi Diwen first got married, he wasn't too picky about the family background of the other party, because no matter what the woman's background was, for this group of well-informed traversers, most of them were just country chicks. , After getting married, it takes time to train slowly.Of course, it is always better to have a cultural foundation than a purely illiterate, at least it will be relatively easier for the two parties to communicate.And Shi Diwen's wife can be regarded as a lady with knowledge of books and etiquette, and her appearance is also first-class, and her personal hardware and software are quite good.
However, Shi Diwen's wife was born as a commoner, so naturally she has no say in the matter of him marrying a concubine. Shi Diwen only needs to make up his own mind.Fortunately, the other party is only the niece of the prefect of Qu. If she is his own daughter, then the position of the concubine in the main house may not be well coordinated, and the other party will definitely not be willing to be the second child.If Shi Diwen doesn't want to be a heartbroken man, he can only reject the marriage.
After listening to it, Tom Wang couldn't help sighing: "When I received the telegram, I thought it was you who took the initiative to hook the little girl from Quyu's family back. After a long time, they forced it to you."
Shi Diwen chuckled and said, "But I'm not at a disadvantage. The woman gave me a lot of dowry, and there's a three-way house in Ningbo!"
Tom Wang laughed and said, "Your status can't live in Ningbo City, so if you take this dowry, it's the same as confiscating it."
Shi Diwen is currently the chief executive officer of Zhoushan. The military, government and businessmen have a very important role, and personal safety is also the top priority.Even if he wanted to leave Dinghai Port to inspect nearby islands, he had to send a telegram to the Sanya base camp to apply for a report.Haihan's office in Guangzhou has not moved into Guangzhou for so many years. As far as the current environment in Zhejiang is concerned, it is unlikely that the executive committee will allow him to enter Ningbo as a permanent resident.
With Haihan's current level of wealth, such a property with three courtyards would not really be taken seriously by an official of Shi Diwen's level, and it would only be used as a talking point for a joke.Besides, Qu Yutong's purpose is to keep his official position, no matter whether Shi Diwen will accept it or not, taking a house as a dowry is also to show his sincerity.
Shi Diwen can't see through the other party's little tricks, but since he has already seen the right way, he won't pay special attention to the dowry money and real estate.After all, these are all things on the scene, the real focus is how to further strengthen the relationship between the two parties after the marriage, what kind of help Haihan can give Qu Yutong, and what kind of convenience Qu Yutong can provide Haihan.
Shi Diwen said sternly: "What Qu Yutong means is that we hope that we can put a certain amount of military pressure on the area around Hangzhou Bay, so that the three major yamen in Hangzhou will be tense, so that he will have the opportunity to negotiate terms with his superiors." , let him come forward to settle the crisis."
Tom Wang blinked, touched the beard stubble on his chin, and asked thoughtfully: "So you didn't send the message to urge me to come back for the wedding?"
"If you want to drink, you can drink anytime, why rush these few days, right!" Shi Diwen did not deny his guess: "Think about it, if you hold a banquet at this time, marry Qu Yutong with great fanfare. The niece walked through the door, isn't it a fool who knows the same pair of pants we are wearing with Qu Yu? When he wants us to cooperate with him to make a fuss, how can we scare people!"
Wang Tom sighed: "I thought there would be a lively scene to watch when we came back, but it turned out that we were urged to come back and act for others to watch.
The Ministry of National Defense originally formed a dual-flagship fleet commanded by Wang Tom to go north to Shandong, and transferred many ships from the south to supplement it as the prototype of the future Beihai Fleet.However, most of the main combat ships of this fleet come from the East China Sea Fleet originally stationed in Zhoushan. After Tom Wang led the fleet northward, Haihan's armed ships in Zhoushan were also greatly reduced, and it was more than enough to perform daily vigilance and self-defense. , but to launch a large-scale military operation near Hangzhou Bay and have a deterrent effect on the Zhejiang government, these ships from Zhoushan are not enough.
Having said that, if sending a few random boats around Hangzhou Bay to show off their force can achieve the effect, then Qu Yutong wouldn't have to resort to such big tricks as marriage to win Haihan over.Qu Yutong also knows that this kind of action is not only costly, but also involves a lot. Haihan may have to mobilize troops from other places to concentrate in Zhejiang if he wants to do it. This kind of laborious thing does not give enough reason and sweetness. The shrewd Haihan people must be will not accept.
Shi Diwen said: "In my opinion, Qu Yutong's idea is to play a full set of plays. After we show off our military strength, the Hangzhou government will start to worry. He will stand up and be a good person to appease us. Finally The little girls in the family are all used as conditions for peace, and there is hard work if there is no credit, as long as the war that is about to break out is settled, no one will be able to gossip about his deeds."
"Oh, there are so many routines in this city, it's too much to count!" Tom Wang pretended to sigh a few words, but returned to the topic: "That Qu Yutong wants us to send troops to cause trouble, there must be some reason for it, right? It can’t be a bullshit reason that we heard that the court is going to remove Qu Yutong and replace him, and we can’t see it anymore, so we came out to fight for the injustice of our parents.”
"Of course you can't use this reason." Shi Diwen shook his head and said, "But you don't have to worry. It's not difficult to find a reason to send troops. There is a reason to pursue responsibility. People from the Ministry of Security are already making preparations, and they will wait until you bring the troops back from the north."
Wang Tom still asked very cautiously: "Then to what extent should the acting be performed? Have the Ministry of National Defense and the Executive Committee come up with specific guidance?"
"The focus is on deterrence, but if you encounter armed confrontation, you can also attack as appropriate." Shi Diwen replied: "This is the original sentence of the telegram sent by Sanya the day before yesterday, and it comes from the opinion of the executive committee."
Wang Tom pondered: "This is to let us not go too far, and control the intensity, right? You should not have been idle in the past few months, you must have already planned it? If you have any action plan, come up with it for reference refer to."
The area around Hangzhou Bay where the lower reaches of the Qiantang River enters the sea is actually the four prefectures of Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo, plus at most one north of Jiaxing, Songjiang, which belongs to Jiangsu.Among these state capitals, the one that Haihan has penetrated the deepest is undoubtedly the Ningbo Mansion next to the Zhoushan Islands. All the civil and military officials in power have secretly joined Haihan's camp, but since they want to play for the high-level officials in Zhejiang, then this The stage of a play can no longer be placed in Ningbo Prefecture, and can only be used in several other prefectures.
Of course, to achieve the best results, it is natural to directly approach the city, let the Haihan army enter the depths of Hangzhou Bay, and even block the waterway from Hangzhou to the sea from the sea, and send the army to land on the coast.Let the Zhejiang officialdom think that an uncontrollable war may break out at any time, so that the peaceful faction like Qu Yutong can come out as the protagonist at the critical moment.Of course, if the intensity of this drama is not well controlled, making the high-ranking officials in Zhejiang think that war is inevitable, and they really break the boat to fight Hai Han, then the situation may be difficult to deal with.Among other things, Qu Yutong, the magistrate, will definitely not be able to do it anymore.
Before the official drama begins, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done.For example, Haihan had to communicate with Ningbo Mansion first, so as not to cause panic in the local area when the troops were dispatched.And the timing of Qu Yutong's appearance also needs to be grasped just right. If he appears early, he will steal the scene, and may arouse the suspicion of his superiors. If he appears late, he may be robbed by others, which is very embarrassing.To grasp this opportunity, Qu Yutong and Haihan's actions must be synchronized.
The mobilization of troops and ships required for this force deterrent operation is actually no less than launching a small-scale war, and there is indeed a possibility of war breaking out in the process, so Haihan's preparations must be based on operations rather than exercises. standards to implement.The naval personnel and ships that had just returned from the north needed a few days to rest, so after the two discussed, they set the action time to one month later to allow sufficient preparation time.
However, for Hai Han, there is a piece of good news at this time of the year.According to historical records, during the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan, Zuojin King, Gaishiwang, Shetatian, Hengtianwang, Hunshiwan, Guotianxing, Jiutiaolong, Thirteen peasant armies including King Shuntian captured Xingyang, Henan, and captured Fengyang, the capital of Ming Dynasty on the [-]th of the first lunar month, which is also the hometown of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
After the peasant army captured Fengyang, they immediately destroyed the imperial mausoleum, burned the Longxing Temple where Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk, and beheaded thousands of Ming troops who stayed in Zhongdu in one go.Such a rampant behavior can be said to have shaken the foundation of the Zhu family's rule of the world. Naturally, the Ming court would not be unresponsive to this. Even if it mobilized more than [-] elite troops from surrounding provinces to fight in Henan, and appointed Hong Chengchou as the leader of the five provinces. Governor Zhu Dadian, governor of Shandong, served as his deputy, and the two led the operation to encircle and suppress the peasant army.
However, this battle will not end in a short period of time, and the resulting impact will also affect several provinces. Even the Fuguang area in the far south, which is thousands of miles away from the Henan battlefield, will also be subject to additional charges. He paid taxes, and symbolically dispatched thousands of troops to Henan to assist in the suppression of bandits.If nothing else happens, Zhejiang will soon receive an order from the imperial court to organize troops to enter Henan via Anhui to participate in the battle.At this time, Zhejiang can't make any more troubles. If it becomes difficult to deal with it, Qu Yutong, the prefect, will be dismissed from get out of class by then.
The peasant army planed Zhu's ancestral grave in Fengyang. The seriousness of this matter even surpassed that of the later Jin army's conquests southward every year. After all, what the wild boar skins robbed was only population and floating wealth, and it seemed that it did not directly affect the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. .In contrast, Haihan's upcoming actions in Zhejiang will not cause too much backlash. Both the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense believe that the Zhejiang government will choose to compromise under internal and external pressure. After all, Daming is at this stage. It is to concentrate the armed forces of the whole country to wipe out the peasant army in the Central Plains, but Haihan's actions are at least within the scope of negotiating and solving. As long as they don't attack cities and land in Zhejiang, the government should try to find a solution through negotiations. conflict.
More than ten days later, at Tongsheng Wharf on the north bank of Qiantang River in Hangzhou Prefecture, a fleet of ships with the flag of "Shi" slowly docked.The laborers on the pier rushed forward, waiting for the ship owner to hire them.These laborers who have been here all the year round know that this fleet with the stone flag is actually the fleet of the Haihan people in Zhoushan, but the two-color flag of the Haihan people is too ostentatious. a substitute.And the Haihan people have always spent a lot of money. The price of hiring laborers is at least [-]% more than the market price, and the settlement is also very straightforward. Therefore, they have become the most popular employers of local laborers in a short period of time.
However, Haihan people generally do not deal directly with the laborers. Only the foreman who leads the team is eligible to board the ship and negotiate with the boss of Haihan. The laborers can only wait patiently on the shore for the result.This fleet consisted of three sailboats, the draft on the side of the ship was quite deep, and it probably carried a lot of goods, which was also a fat job for the laborers.
"Give way, let's all go, Master Gu is here!" With a burst of yelling, a path was diverted from the crowd, and a few men in black with thick arms and round waists pushed all the people blocking the way to the side, clearing the way. Make a way out so that a middle-aged man who is following behind can pass smoothly.
This middle-aged man called "Gu Ye" is surnamed Gu Minghui, and he is actually one of the contractors on the Tongsheng Wharf. However, it is said that he has an official background, so the best location on the wharf and the fattest errands are often He took them all, and the business of the Haihan people was one of them.Seeing Gu Hui appearing, some laborers knew that most of the work of this fleet was taken over by him again, so they could only spit on the ground, then turned their heads and left angrily.
Gu Hui had a lot of ostentation in front of the laborers at the dock, but after getting on the gangway, he immediately put on a humble face: "Mr. Lin, long time no see, you are so rich! "
Lin De, who is called the official of Lin, is Lin De from the Sanlin Gang of Liuheng Island. After the Sanlin Gang completely surrendered to Haihan, their three brothers have also been appointed under the Haihan system one after another. For example, Lin De is now There is a "deputy director" position in the shipping department under the Zhoushan Management Committee. Although he does not have any real power in his hands, the various conveniences obtained from this can bring real economic benefits.In the past, Linde used to go to the Hangzhou government to do some buying and selling, and he was still engaged in related affairs after taking refuge in his new master.On average, he would come to Tongsheng Wharf once a month, so he was quite familiar with the snakes on the wharf.
