Chapter 1040 Prosperity

Zhou Duda immediately replied: "Now the people still use the eighth year of the Tianqi period. Some people only call it the first year, but they refuse to use the Chongzhen period and still call it King Xin. Therefore, the righteous men in the East Province were determined to suffer resolutely and prepared to decide the victory and defeat with the pirates in Haibei, hoping that the supervisor could give him a name to help with major events!"

It is certainly not a big problem to just give a name, but Yuan Chonghuan knew that he would have to continue to provide food, salary, military funds and all the funds after giving it to him. Therefore, he immediately asked: "Is it Liu Xingzuo from Xuzhou? I have asked the court to give him full support!"

Although the court has not met all Yuan Chonghuan's requirements now, at least Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Army is the most preferred war zone. The reason why the Guanning Army only got so much is that the court's finances have actually gone bankrupt and can no longer relocate more resources.

Therefore, although Yuan Chonghuan was willing to give it to his name, he seemed stingy in resource support. Zhou Duda of course replied: "Everyone in the world knows that Xuzhou righteous men and Haibei thieves are incompatible, so naturally they don't need to supervise their troops to help them, and they will have their own salary from Nanjing! I'm talking about another righteous mentor!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Duda laughed: "They have an irreconcilable hatred with the Haibei pirates. They have fought repeatedly with the Haibei pirates since the Wanli period. Although they have been defeated repeatedly, they have the determination to fight again and again?"

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but laugh: "Which is this about the righteous army? There seems to be no such righteous army in Shandong!"

Although there are many top famous families in Shandong, such as the Xincheng Wang family with the "half-chao king", their attitude towards Haibei Town is not firm enough. In addition to integrity, the family's long-term plan must be considered.

If Jiannu invaded, these famous families in Shandong would naturally spare no effort to go all out. In another time and space, these famous families in Shandong would almost be wiped out.

However, the Haibei pirates are different from Jiannu. In a sense, they are even "people" with these famous families in Shandong. Everyone often interacts with each other. Although these famous families in Shandong feel that Haibei Town "takes both Chinese and Western" and "middle school is the body and Western learning is the purpose of use", they always hold a wait-and-see attitude. Some famous families have even been in a relationship with Haibei Town.

So Yuan Chonghuan really couldn't think of any other Yi soldier in Shandong that could have such determination, but Zhou Duda immediately reported a name: "Linqing Zheng Family!"

"Linqing Zheng family!"

Yuan Chonghuan remembered which family this was: "Is it the Zheng family of Linqing who sells raw silk? I heard that they have a deep collusion with Jiannu and the lotus demon!"

This is indeed a historical problem of the Zheng family in Linqing. Although the Zheng family has been in power with Haibei Town for a long time, they have found it difficult to support themselves over the years, so they colluded with Jiannu, Lian Yao and more forces to deal with Haibei Town. Although Yuan Chonghuan is far away in Liaodong, he also knew these historical problems of the Zheng family in Linqing.

But Zhou Duda immediately said: "Mr. Supervisor, this is just a vicious slander of the pirates in Haibei. You should think that since the forty years of Wanli, only the Zheng family of Linqing and the pirates in Haibei have fought to the death. More than a hundred people have died or injured in the clan. Although countless casualties are killed or injured, the Zheng family of Linqing is still going on one after another and vows to fight the pirates in Haibei to the end..."

Zhou Duda said it better than the singing, but Yuan Chonghuan shook his head and said, "Didn't it mean that the Zheng family of Linqing has had a slight collusion with the Haibei pirates over the years, why are they now preparing to fight the Yiqi flag and fight with the Haibei pirates?"

Zhou Duda shook his head and said, "There is a life-and-death relationship between the Zheng family and the Haibei pirates. In recent years, the Haibei pirates have made every effort to manage Liaodong, so they temporarily let the Zheng family go. The Zheng family in Linqing was also severely injured and was forced to ease with the Haibei pirates to recuperate. But everyone knows that there will be a battle between them. Before Haibei rises, the Zheng family can be said to have controlled half of the Linqing..."

Although this statement is exaggerated, the Zheng family in Linqing is indeed a true noble family. Yuan Chonghuan also knows the glorious history of the Zheng family in Linqing, especially the causes and consequences of their previous struggles with the Haibei Army.

One of the most important points is that although there are signs of easing between the Zheng family of Linqing and Haibei Town, Linqing is still the base camp of the enemy in Haibei Town.

Many enemies of Haibei Town fled to Linqing under the arrangement of the Zheng family and settled down. Some of these people were big landlords who lost their property because of the rise of Haibei, some were defeated soldiers and defeated by the Haibei Army, some were conservatives who claimed to be honest, and some were thieves who were chased by the Haibei Army and had no way out. But no matter what, these people were mortal enemies of Haibei Town.

There are at least hundreds of defeated generals gathered in Linqing now, and there may even be as many as thousands. Considering their influence, they can even call on thousands of people. This is originally a chess piece that Yuan Chonghuan was preparing to use. He immediately asked, "What do you prince want me to do!"

Although Zhou Duda came forward as a personal identity, Yuan Chonghuan attached not to a small inner courtier like Zhou Duda, but to the Heng Palace behind him. Zhou Duda couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Our prince has made up his mind to let some loyal and brave children come to Linqing to help the righteous teacher!"

Although Haibei Town has many restrictions on the Hengwang Mansion and the Luwang Mansion, which has added a lot of bloody meaning in the past two years, compared with the Wanli period, the Zhu children of the Hengwang Mansion have more freedom of movement. Therefore, Prince Heng transferred some of his outstanding children and resources to Linqing to master this righteous teacher.

At that time, the children of Hengfu will have strong appeal. Zhou Duda continued: "The prince means that in addition to the name of the commander-in-chief, he also needs to provide more support to the Linqing Yishang. Of course, these resources do not need to be dispatched from Liaodong!"

Linqing City can be said to be the most prosperous city in Shandong, even more prosperous than the provincial capital Jinan. The famous "Jin Ping Mei" takes place in Linqingzhou. Therefore, as long as Yuan Chonghuan gave the name and shook the flag and shouted to Linqing Yishi, plus the name of the children of Hengfu and the local snake of the Zheng family of Linqing, it can be said that everyone can respond with one shout.

But Yuan Chonghuan immediately asked, "I remember there was a new army trained by Western France in Jinan Prefecture?"

Zhou Duda immediately said, "Yes, that is a new army in Dongchang left by the Cao Censor of the Guangdong Cao Wenheng, but this new army has too little force. In fact, this Yi army in Linqing is also the meaning of Cao Censor of the Cao Censor!"

When talking about this, Zhou Duda felt very sorry

At that time, Cao Wenheng, the Yandongdao, could be said to be the most powerful official in Shandong and Haibei Town. However, Cao Daotai liked to fight alone too much. When the Haibei pirates began to fight back in full swing, Cao Dao could not stand up and was forced to be transferred to Guangdong as a censor. Even most of the Dongchang Prefecture fell into the hands of the Haibei pirates.

However, as the biggest legacy left by Cao Wenheng in Shandong, the Western French New Army, which now has more than 3,000 people in Jinan Prefecture, can be said to be the real pillar of the imperial court in Shandong. It is precisely because of this new army that the pirates from Haibei dare not enter Jinan Prefecture

But everyone knows that there are tens of thousands of pirates in Haibei. Just relying on the Western French New Army trained during the Tianqi period of Jinan Prefecture, the Western French New Army trained during the Tianqi period, was simply hitting stones with eggs. Therefore, those interested in the people, including the Censor Cao, believed that another new army of thousands of people should be established outside the new army of Cao Yunping.

This new army does not have to be fully trained in Western France, but the troops must not be too small. At that time, the two new army will be able to fight together to block the pirates in Haibei, so this Linqingxin Army has the initiative.

When Yuan Chonghuan heard Cao Wenheng's name, he immediately changed his attitude: "Since Cao Qianxian has such an attitude, I will make the decision on this matter for you! You can just let it go in Linqing!"

If Cao Yunping's new army in Jinan Prefecture is now trained by Western France, but only two or three thousand people, and his troops are too weak, then in Linqing, the matter of Jinan Prefecture can be halfway, at least it can stop the Haibei pirates advancing eastward. Zhou Duda quickly knelt down: "The Supervisor is wise, and the Supervisor is wise and sees thousands of miles away, and it is easy to wipe out the Haibei pirates!"

But Yuan Chonghuan shook his head and said, "You are a coincidence. You may not know that the court finally made up its mind to send a wise minister to Jinan Prefecture to preside over military affairs."

When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he was worried about presiding over Shandong's military affairs. Cao Yunping could only say that he was a transitional target, or he was just a military general who only managed the camp affairs. The real "military affairs" must be subject to ministers sent by the court.

Now that we have to send ministers to preside over Shandong affairs, the military preparations of Jinan Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture will definitely be strengthened. Zhou Duda's trip is naturally a coincidence.

Zhou Duda immediately blurted out: "I wonder which minister the court sent to preside over Shandong military affairs?"

Yuan Chonghuan immediately gave a name: "If you are presided over the Western French New Army, is there any better than Sun Yuanhua in the current court?"

For Zhou Duda, Sun Yuanhua was a somewhat unfamiliar name, but he still remembered the name in his heart: "I understand, it's Lord Sun Yuanhua!"

In fact, it took Zhou Duda a long time to find out the resume of Sun Yuanhua. He found that Sun was indeed a perfect candidate to train the new army. The only problem was that Sun Yuanhua was a loyal believer of Western Catholicism.

However, for Zhou Duda, this was not a disadvantage. He knew very well that Catholicism was completely different from "using the body in middle school and using the body in western learning". Therefore, after exploring Sun Yuanhua's resume, he went to the capital to move. He believed that he had gained a lot, so he took a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals who also hated Haibei Town and rode south on the canal boat.

He felt that this time he was returning home with a full load, and he happily said to the followers while drinking on the boat: "This time it is the turn of the Zheng family in Linqing to flourish!"

But his voice was a little too sharp. Someone asked a canal boat traveling north opposite him: "How did the Zheng family in Linqing prosper? Are they finished?"
