The first thousand five hundred and seventy-four chapters
"I have met the military master." Han Tong often goes back to Tianjin, and is one of the ports of Denglai and Pi Island. Han Tong is responsible for it. He has long been familiar with Wu Zhiwang. He walked up and smiled and said, "It's raining and it's cold. What's the important thing to do if the military master is going to do this?"
Hearing Han Tong's words, Wu Zhiwang had no smile on his face, but just nodded slightly.
An armored general next to him stepped forward and said sternly: "The port of Tianjin is close to the capital. The governor is afraid that there will be traitors and hiding. He hereby informs everyone that from today on, the port will be closed and all ships and personnel are not allowed to go back and forth!"
Han Tong's face froze and said coldly: "Wu Junmen, what does this mean?"
"Bold, dare to speak like this to the military lord!" The military officer who spoke was a military officer in the governor Biao camp. He was in his thirties and had a violent look on his face. His hands were already pressed on the knife handle of the sword.
"What are you?" Han Tong looked at the handsome officer with a look of his face and said with a resentful look: "If you believe it, do you not live for three days?"
This was quite serious. Wu Zhiwang frowned, but no one from his aides and the followers of the Bian battalion were spoken... Hutchi can even assassinate Nurhaci, so what are they?
Nurhaci has been dead for more than a month, Huang Taiji inherited the throne of Khan, and the news that the four major Beilees were sitting together in the south had long been spreading.
At the same time, Dongjiang Town participated in the raid, but the news that the attacker was another person was also spread among the people. There are all kinds of messy statements among the people. There is only one view in the officialdom: the attacker is a man from Hutchison!
With this understanding, even Wu Zhiying cannot ensure his own safety.
Now the officials of the Ming Dynasty's border rank have been strengthened to pay attention to their own safety, and the governor's yamen have strengthened their guards. Wu Zhiwang has dozens of servants who are guarding the governor's yamen normally. At the same time, a thousand generals have also transferred 300 people to guard inside and outside the yamen. Even so, absolute safety cannot be ensured.
The old slave is surrounded by elite soldiers in a hundred battles. A Jurchen man can beat more than ten of them. Isn’t he killed by Hu Ji?
Han Tong's words not only pose a serious threat to those staff members and soldiers who urge him to do so, but how could he feel nothing even if he wanted to see him?
The officer in the middle was so scared that he didn't dare to speak again, and his hands holding the knife handle were trembling a little.
Wu Zhiwang glanced at the officer in dissatisfaction. The knife he pressed with was from Heji. Like the knife made by Qi Jiguang, the waist knife he produced was collectively called "Heji". This knife has a thick back and sharp blade, similar to the style of Tang swords. In fact, it was also the Han people's ring-headed swords passed down all the way. It was just that some of the forging techniques and iron were exquisitely given. Of course, Huji's production could not be faulty in quality. Even the blacksmiths who built weapons for Needing were carefully made by each military town, which was not much better than Huji. Those blacksmiths could only cast slowly. Compared with the hydraulic machines of Heji, the speed was too far behind. Now there are a large number of Heji swords in the nine sides, and each military town is also strange. If Huji was thinking about attacking the Ming Dynasty, why did he sell these elite weapons to each town? Isn't this going to shoot himself in the foot?
They didn't know that Hutchison didn't care about the outflow of these cold weapons. In addition to artillery, even if the military towns wanted to buy muskets, those muskets that were trial-produced before they were finalized could still be sold to them. Even if Hutchison's waste products were not finalized, the quality was much better than the ones produced by the Ministry of Industry.
No matter how good the weapon is, it is useless to use it in the hands of ineffective people. When the officer was frightened by Han Tong, his arrogance immediately went down. No wonder he was able to walk sideways in Tianjin as a governor, but when he met such powerful forces as Hutchison, who were not willing to buy it, and could really be killed. If he didn't soften his waist, would he really fight for a moment?
"Han Tong, you have spoken." Wu Zhiwang glanced at his subordinates, and had the idea of replacing people in his heart. At the same time, he looked at Han Tong and said slowly: "Does Hutchison really ignore the laws of the court?"
"The Governor of the Military Gate said the same thing." Han Tong bowed and said, "My Guardian has always been respectful to the court and has never done anything illegal. Now, Ji Dong, my husband, advocates that the Lord resign and return to his hometown. There are too many such statements. In order to clarify his thoughts, he can only retire and return home. Now he is fishing and entertaining himself every day..."
Wu Zhiwang hated his teeth itched. Han Tong almost said it once whenever he met. Not only did he dare to speak directly with a governor like him, but he promoted it to the big businessmen and bosses in the north in the port of Tianjin, the shopkeepers, the military households in Tianjin, the garrison and the past business travelers.
The court felt that Zhang Han was catching an opportunity for his retirement, and everyone was very happy.
After so long publicity from Hutchison, the government and the people have now become aware of it. Even many people in the south know that it was the court who forced Zhang Han to retreat. A great hero who recovered the grassland and captured Lin Danhan, and was forced to release his troops and return to the field. The court itself knew that this was not glorious. Gu Bingqian had already become Qin Hui, but he knew that the image of other people in the cabinet was not very good, and they all knew that it would definitely get worse.
Even Wu Zhiwang knew that Zhang Han's retreat was meaningless. His main force had not returned on the grassland and always had the ability to threaten the court. This kind of retreat would deceive those foolish people in the countryside, and the court would definitely come up with a way. If the heroes made a merit of not rewarding, they would only give one death. Zhang Han's heroes were still different from Yue Fei. Yue Fei's army was always under the control of the Southern Song court, and it would be very difficult for Yue Fei to rebel, unless he defected to the Jin Kingdom in the north. In the face of the loyal and righteous Yue Fei for life, he could only die.
From the time Zhang Han started his business to the grassland, he didn't look like a person who could die for the throne of the ministers. He could only kill such a person. Even if the whole country was in a state of great force, he would be proposing several ministers to take the blame and resign and step down. He would not leave Zhang Han's good opportunity in Xinpingbao and ignore it.
But now that public opinion is in the hands of Heji, even some of Wu Zhiwang's old friends wrote letters to inquire about this matter. They were quite dissatisfied with the court's actions in their words. This was part of the public opinion of the public opinion of Wu Zhiwang himself, and it was hard for Wu Zhiwang to imagine that if one day the court decisively attacked Zhang Han to death, what would happen to the public opinion of the people in the world? Even the foundation of the Ming Dynasty would be shaken.
Now it is not the time to argue about these things. Wu Zhiwang said calmly: "Han Tong, don't tell me these things. This matter cannot be pressed on me... Now I will ask you if you follow the laws of the court?"
"Abide by means of obedience." Han Tong smiled indifferently and said, "The court may not know that the old military officer must submit a memorial. A letter from the port is here, and the goods on these dozen ships cannot come down. The prices of various goods from the capital and various goods from the south will rise a lot."
The port was closed for a period of time, and even cut off the chariots and horses in various prefectures for a period of time. Wu Zhiwang knew that it was a testimony by the court. This idea was the decision made by Cui Chengxiu and Huo Weihua to report a secret document together, and Wei Zhongxian personally made the decision.
Now use the Nine-side blocking. We must take advantage of Zhang Han’s time in Xinpingbao. Hutchison should not be able to break the face and move troops. Seize the opportunity to restrict Hutchison in the north. Even if the merchants cannot stop immediately, we must limit Hutchison’s logistics and conduct some tests. If the response is not too strong, stop Hutchison’s sea trade in the north and block most of its land-based vehicles logistics, and further close Hutchison’s points of all places.
Wu Zhiwang felt that the court had been doing things well for the past six months. He had been too careless about Hutchison before and did not come up with a decent way.
When a business acts, the most important thing is silver.
As long as Hutchison's source of income is cut off, it will become a source of water and a tree without roots. Even if there are soldiers and horses on the grassland, their foundation is not in the grassland and there is no large amount of silver supply, can Zhang Han's soldiers and horses be so powerful and brave?
Like ordinary Ming officials, Wu Zhiwang's insights and cognition are almost the same as that.
"The Ministry of Revenue and the cabinet officials are concerned about the matter of prices, and the emperor decides." Wu Zhiwang said impatiently: "For the matter now, I am just following the orders of the court. Do you abide by it?"
Han Tong sneered: "Cheng, the old man said that, of course I will do it."
He Bin and the people who came here in Taiwan were a little anxious. They were used to ignoring the imperial court's laws and doing things in a very relaxed environment. And Taiwan is equivalent to Hutchison's belongings, and Hutchison is the government. When they arrived in the north, they realized that Hutchison's monument was a giant of the Ming court above Hutchison's head, and they had a completely different tough approach from the Ming officials in the south.
"Brother He doesn't have to be anxious." Han Tong ordered the warehouse on the shore to guard the shore, and the officers and soldiers of the fubiao should be sealed. At the same time, the ships in the port were supplied immediately and they left the port immediately. Those who had no supplies returned to Pi Island. Of course, He Bin and others went ashore with Han Tong. After everyone stepped onto the shore, Han Tong said to He Bin: "This matter can only be reported. How to stop it depends on the military department."
"Don't you report it to Lord Zhang?"
"Sir, the important thing is to turn around the north." Korean Channel: "It's too eye-catching for us to send the Tang horse directly to the court, and it's too eye-catching for the court."
"Oh." Zheng Zhibao beside He Bin couldn't help but say, "How great it would be to be fucked directly. When I think of the adult trapped in Xinpingbao, I feel as uncomfortable as if I was frying..."
Shi Daxuan also said: "We are rude men who are used to fighting at sea. When we met Lord Zhang in Lizhuang, we only focused on the remembrance of the Ming Dynasty. I don't recognize the emperor. Whether we were on a mission to Russia, back to Taiwan, serving in the shore, or on the ship, we were always loyal. The adults were worried that someone would have a different intention after they were unscrupulous, but I don't think so..."
Han Tong nodded repeatedly. Except for the pure Fujian or Guangdong people who have never been to the north, who have little knowledge and have no strong sense of belonging to Hutchison.
The real core, not to mention Chang Wei, Zhang Xuwen and others, but Zheng Zhilong brothers, He Bin and others have been to Lizhuang, and some have been to Russia with Mo Zongtong and Zhang Xuwen. They have come back thousands of miles to see the greatness of the world and know that the world is not as big as the people in the south.
