In February of the first year of Longqing, Zhejiang Province, the Chuzhou Prefecture, Jinhua Prefecture, and Taizhou Prefecture frequently encountered bandits. Bandits appeared in the mountains and forests to harass the villagers. Pirates came from the sea and attacked fishermen, causing ships to be destroyed and people to die.

The prefect of Taizhou, Fang Fengshi, Jinhua, and Chuzhou officials wrote to the Governor's Yamen, Zhejiang Governor Hou Ruliang, Zhejiang Governor Wang Bengu's proposal, and ordered Zhejiang General Dong Yikui to lead the army to fight.

Dong Yikui said that the southeastern army was elite and not weak in the border army. He transferred Qi Jimei, the general of the Western Zhejiang gang, to suppress the bandits in Chuzhou, Hou Jigao, the general of the Jin gang, Shaotai, to kill the bandits in Jinhua Prefecture, and the guerrilla general Zhang Yishan went south to Taizhou to attack the Japanese pirates along the coast.

On February 23, the official ship Wang Bengu and Dong Yikui were on went downstream and headed towards Zhenhai. They also drew hundreds of border troops from Hangzhou Prefecture and Shaoxing Prefecture. Dong Yiyuan, the general of the Eastern Zhejiang General, led more than a thousand troops to follow him.

On this day, Tang Shunzhi, who had been in the backyard of the Ningbo temporary prefect who had been in Zhenhai for more than four years, had always been steady and never hurt others behind his back.

What kind of person is Tang Shunzhi?

As early as thirty years ago, he became famous all over the world, devoted himself to learning for more than ten years, and made great contributions to trade. Although he was rigorous and serious, he had always been strict with himself and hurt others behind his back... This was the first time Tang Shunzhi did it.

Who else can make Tang Shunzhi so disregardless of his face besides Qian Yuan who forced him out of the mountain?

"Sit firmly in the middle of the capital, with a high official and a generous salary, gently waving the feather fan, and sitting to see the crisis in the southeast. Did Qian Zhan forget that the southeast coast was in dire straits back then?" Tang Shunzhi became more and more angry, "If there is such a dangerous situation, if there is any disagreement, the whole game will be lost!"

"Don't he, Qian Zhan, knowing that Dong Yikuihui and his large households were smuggling and selling goods?"

"Did he just Qian Zhan forget that Zhao Dazhou wanted to hunt Wang Zhi and storm a province in Zhejiang?"

Zheng Ruozeng, whose face was wet, did not dare to wipe it. He cursed a few words according to Tang Shunzhi's words before he said carefully: "Trade and tax silver is of great use in the court. This... Wang Zimin should not follow Zhao Dazhou, right?"

Tang Shunzhi sneered: "It's not easy to cause something. If Wang Zhi was captured and imprisoned, there would be chaos along the coast. Maybe the Japanese scourge would resurface, and then Qian Zhan would dare to take this risk?"

There was no good words, and Zheng Ruozeng stopped talking.

Tang Shunzhi was suddenly stunned, "Zhang San led his army to Taizhou Prefecture... There were pirates attacking..."

"Zheng Kaiyang, was Qian Zhan instructed him?!"

"Absolutely not!" Zheng Ruozeng denied, "Jingchuan Gong should know that Qian Longquan has a innocent heart."

Tang Shunzhi narrowed his eyes and stared at Zheng Ruozeng. After a long time, he said coldly: "If I find out that a little bit of it is related to his Qian Zhancai, don't blame me for not seeing the old love!"

"Please check Jingchuan Gong in detail." Zheng Ruozeng swallowed quietly, "But in this crisis, please ask Jingchuan Gong for help."

Tang Shunzhi and Zheng Ruozeng were considered friendly, but today they did not give any face. "I still need my help?"

"Have you arranged all Qian Zhan?"

"Although it's thousands of miles away, you, Zheng Kaiyang, are planning for him!"

After a few cold words, Tang Shunzhi became angry again, "I first met in Chongde City, and I knew that this person was happy to use money to control people, and he was used to taking different strategies!"

"I attacked Japanese in the southeast and caused danger several times. Hou Taoshan searched for maritime merchants, and even more so, it was even more dangerous. If you don't know how to die, you will be defeated!"

Zheng Ruozeng couldn't help but tell: "If you don't use money to control people, why can you have elite troops in the southeast? How can you wipe out Xu Hai in one battle? The situation in the court back then was like this. If you don't take a different approach, would you let the dukes in the court regard the southeast as a place of political struggle?"

"In the battle of Hou Taoshan, Zhan has been planning for a long time and used all kinds of tricks. It seems to be dangerous, but it is actually safe..."

Tang Shunzhi said stunned: "If the sea merchants did not attack Hou Taoshan and turned to attack Zhenhai County, what would they do to deal with it?"

"Taizhou Promoter Wu Chengqi is already preparing for Japanese devils. Weiyuan City has iron cannons. Can sea merchants attack the county?" Zheng Ruozeng did not retreat. After a few arguments, he simply exposes it. "Mr. Jingchuan just thinks Qian Longquan is hiding your plan!"

The old man Tang Shunzhi's face turned a little red. I don't know if he was angry or embarrassed. He slapped the table and stared at Zheng Ruozeng, "Zheng Kaiyang, please make it clear!"

After a while, Zheng Ruozeng opened the window and the strong wind mixed with the smell of the sea came, making Tang Shunzhi's head float white hair.

Since the 36th year of Jiajing, Tang Shunzhi has been transferred to the prefect of Ningbo in his nearly sixty years and planned to open a ban on trade. Although Qian Yuanling and allocated a large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources, Tang Shunzhi started from scratch, worked hard in everything, spared no effort, and spent much effort to make the business settled.

Zheng Ruozeng was a little soft-hearted, and the political struggles in the capital were fought. Ning Shaotai’s three prefectures and the other two prefects were transferred, but Tang Shunzhi stayed.

In fact, there was a rumor in Beijing last year that Tang Jingchuan was ill in bed, and the Ministry of Personnel was elected to send someone else, but Gao Gong and Xu Jie thought that he should slowly plan to him and transfer Tang Shunzhi directly. Suiyuan might have to overturn the table... After all, Suiyuan is also an old minister of His Majesty's residence, and Qian Yuan is still in the heart of the emperor.

But Zheng Ruo was once aware of the situation. Since the beginning of last year, Tang Shunzhi was bedridden at one point, but he just kept holding on. He vomited blood at the end of last year. Tang Hezheng strongly urged his father to retire and return to his hometown to cultivate, but Tang Shunzhi stood firm.

Holding Tang Shunzhi down, Zheng Ruozeng sighed: "Mr. Jingchuan, the power of trade will inevitably return to the court in the future, but now... the political struggles in the court are still the same. If you throw away Suiyuan, who can do it impartially?"

This sentence made Tang Shunzhi's angry face gradually fade away. Qian Yuan had no money in business. Sun Piyang, Sun Ying, Zhao Dahe and others were all clean and honest. Lu Yipeng and Sun Piyang traded in Fujian City, and they refused gifts from wealthy people...

On the other hand, after Dong Yikui entered Zhejiang, he focused on the fat piece of trade. After being rejected, he joined forces with Southeasters to smuggle goods. Wang Bengu, Guo Yuan, and Fang Fengshi were all not honest officials.

Moreover, in addition to Zhenhai, Ninghai, Xiamen and Quanzhou, the first establishment of the two places, if the rules are not set, Guangzhou, Susong, Tongzhou, and Shandong will be in the future...

Tang Shunzhi had to admit that it is most appropriate to temporarily preside over commercial affairs by Suiyuan.

But unfortunately, this old man was stubborn. He was always unhappy that he was used as a gun by Qian Yuan, but he kept everything secret until the last moment or when he needed to come forward...

For example, this time, I suddenly discovered that Qi Jimei, Hou Jigao and Zhang San were all leading the troops out. Just as I was about to think about it, Zheng Ruozeng came to visit... All the arrangements were made before, you, the tool guy, can appear.

Who would be so angry that he would be so angry?

But Tang Shunzhi didn't think about it. He was not a person from Suiyuan, nor was he a gentry like Zheng Ruozeng who was so devoted to Qian Yuan. He had such a high reputation, how could Qian Yuan feel at ease?

So, although Tang Shunzhi had made a decision in his heart, he still said coldly, "If I don't allow it, what can I do if I do?"

Zheng Ruozeng glanced at Tang Shunzhi's expression and sighed: "If Jingchuan Gong refused to rebuild the Maritime Bureau, he would naturally be in charge of the officials. I heard that the eunuch Li Fang, the eunuch who was in charge of the rituals and pens..."

"Qian Zhancai!" Tang Shunzhi slapped the table for the second time, his face turned blue and white.

If you don’t do it, then I will join forces with the eunuch!
Chapter completed!
