Chapter 668: The Principal of All Things

After the Wusong River Camp was upgraded from the Thousand Guards to the General Terminal during the Jiajing period, it has only served as the three generals today. The last general was Deng Xianwu, who was transferred from Guangdong in the 27th year of Wanli. His uncle was Deng Zilong, who died gloriously in the battle of Luliang.

According to legend, when Deng Zilong led his troops to conquer the Japanese crossing the Yalu River, something was touching a boat. He fished it up and found that it was a piece of agarwood. After a long time, Deng Zilong said that this thing was like a human head and loved it very much since then. He often dreamed at night, and this fragrance tree was combined with its head and one.

Later, Deng Zilong died in North Korea in battle, and his head was headless. After being reminded by his staff, Deng Xianwu, who was his nephew, carved the agarwood as a rank and served as his uncle's head. Everyone who witnessed it at that time said that he looked like a general and cried in tears.

Deng Xianwu died of illness four years after being promoted to General Wusong, and was only 32 years old. The reason for his death was that he suffered an old injury in his early years when he followed his uncle to fight and could not save him. After his death, the court awarded him the title of Right Governor.

After Deng Xianwu's death, Yingtian Governor Cao Shipeng submitted a memorial to the court, asking Jiang Liangdong, the guerrilla general in charge of the Wusong River Camp with a bid. After the court approved the memorial, Jiang Liangdong was transferred from Huizhou to Wusong.

However, although Jiang Liangdong was a confidant of the governor Cao Shikai, he also participated in the Bozhou Battle. He was very brave, but he did not know the water battle. Therefore, the Wusong Water Camp was very lazy during his management years, and the top and the three were not interested in training, which was quite abandoned.

Fortunately, the Jiajing Dynasty completely eliminated the Japanese trespass. Otherwise, if a pirate came from the outside seas, it would be hard to say whether the government would call the police again and the city would be closed.

This is also the benefit of a peaceful and prosperous era. After being peaceful for a long time, this person's heart will always be relaxed.

Regarding the details of Jiang Liangdong and Wusong Water Camp, Eunuch Wei does not need to worry about it. He just needs to ask someone to take the silver to move around the brothels and wine shops around the water camp for a few turns, so he can't get any information.

He did not talk to Jiang Liangdong at the first time, but asked Zheng Duo to take someone to talk. After the negotiation was completed, the two sides met happily and got things done. If the negotiation was not right, there was room for ease.

The Chinese people are so particular about doing things, which is in line with the doctrine of the mean, and is regarded as the only experience in dealing with people handed down by sages.

Of course, Zheng Duo didn't go to the conversation empty-handedly. He brought two bags of gold and silver. When he arrived in front of the water camp, he took Eunuch Wei's official post and handed it in.

The school guarding the gate was very stunned when he held the official post. He didn't know what the internal official and the imperial admiral were. He was stunned for a long time before he raised his foot to communicate.

Jiang Liangdong was in the camp, and it was hot today, so he didn't go anywhere. After receiving the notice, he was stunned. He didn't know what people from the palace came to him to do in the water camp. He was confused and ordered people to bring in the future.

After seeing Jiang Liangdong, Zheng Duo was polite, then praised Wusong Shuiying again and again, and then opened the skylight and said illuminating.

"My father-in-law said that as long as the general is willing to give convenience, my father-in-law will never treat the general unfairly... If the general wants land, my father-in-law can immediately purchase it for the general in Suzhou and Songjiang. If you want a house, Songjiang and Suzhou can choose any big house. If you don't have a house or no land, the general will offer a price, and my father-in-law will definitely not respond." After Zheng Duo said that, he looked at Jiang Liangdong calmly. Although the other party was a guerrilla, he could call the general.

Jiang Liangdong became more and more confused: "This... I don't know Eunuch Wei, but I don't know what convenience should Eunuch Wei give me?"

Zheng Duo smiled softly: "General, he asked knowingly. My father-in-law ordered the maritime eunuch. What is needed to go to sea? Don't the general know?"

"Eunuch Wei wants a boat?" Jiang Liangdong suddenly realized that Eunuch Wei was the idea of ​​attacking him in the water camp ship for a long time.

Zheng Duo nodded slightly with a smile.

Jiang Liangdong had already stood up and shook his head: "No, no, my Wusong River Camp is the Jiangnan Sea Defense, the Jiangnan defense area, and the ships in the camp have a fixed number. How can I borrow it?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Duo was not anxious, looked around and whispered: "I'm not hiding it to the general, my father-in-law said that as long as the general is willing to fulfill his promise, when my father-in-law goes out to sea, he will report to the palace to ensure that the general is the general of Wusong."

"oh?…"

This made Jiang Liangdong a little moved. He had been in charge of Wusong Water Camp for three years, but he had not been able to become the general officer for a long time. It would be unrealistic to say that he had no thoughts in his heart, but if he had to be involved with the eunuchs in the palace, he was afraid that the governor would not have a good face to him.

He was able to jump from Qian Zong to become a guerrilla general, and he was full of love from the governor. He did not forget to dig wells when he drank water. He could do all the things he could do today, and he could not do anything that made the governor unhappy.

So, he refused decisively and said, "This matter is of great importance. I am not willing to help me if I am not aware of it. If the Fu Office finds out, it will be difficult for me to explain."

When Zheng Duo saw this, he didn't say much. He ordered his followers to carry the two cloth bags he brought in and opened them in front of Jiang Liangdong. It was filled with gold and silver, and the total value was 1,000 taels of silver.

"This is a small meeting gift my father-in-law asked the villain to present to the general. I hope the general will not refuse."

"I will not receive any reward without merit. Eunuch Wei has good intentions and I will receive this gift, but I will ask you to bring back this gift." Jiang Liangdong's expression changed and hesitated.

Zheng Duo said "Oh": "My father-in-law said that business cannot be done, and even if the general cannot fulfill my father-in-law, please accept these thoughts."

However, Jiang Liangdong made up his mind and refused to accept it. Seeing that the other party's expression was not as fake, Zheng Duo could not continue to talk, so he quit and said with a humbly voice.

"Bring things with you."

Jiang Liangdong was afraid that the other party would keep the money, so he even gave a reminder.

Zheng Duo's feet stagnated, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He honestly brought the things with him as he said, and said goodbye.

Eunuch Wei was in a town twenty miles away from Shuiying, which was already under the jurisdiction of Shanghai County. When Zheng Duo came back, he was listening to music.

Kunqu opera, such as slutty, Eunuch Wei cannot understand at all, but it does not affect his relish.

This is called cultural people.

"Ye?"

After hearing what Zheng Duo said, Eunuch Wei was very surprised: This is a meeting with a fairy official!

"This person really doesn't want to pay for our gift?"

"Dadfather-in-law, if you take it, why would you bring the things back?" Zheng Duo smiled bitterly.

"Clean official, this is difficult."

Eunuch Wei rubbed his hands, but his eyes remained on the girl singing on the stage. The old man was thinking, is this girl a real person or a big shot in women. Thinking of not knowing that there are men dressed in women in Kunqu Opera, the young lady on the stage is probably a real sister. Thinking of this, she was even more energetic, and she waved her sleeves and rewarded her.

After the reward, he turned his head and asked Zheng Duo: "What do you think you should do?"

Zheng Duo thought for a while and said, "Dadfather-in-law, this is actually not difficult to deal with."

"Speak and listen."

Eunuch Wei sat down, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.

"According to subordinates, most of the Wusong River Camp was transferred from the Guangdong Navy that year, so since Deng Xianwu's death, Guangdong soldiers have been quite unpopular."

"Oh?" Eunuch Wei understood and looked at Zheng Duo with admiration, "You mean that the top is not OK, let's go down?"

“…that’s what it means.”

Zheng Duo felt that some words were always awkward when he said them from Eunuch Wei.

“Yes, yes!”
