In the northwest of Ningbo Prefecture, there are two people sitting opposite each other in the inner hall of the Zhejiang Governor's Office. Among them, the middle-aged man in his forties, with white face and long beards, and wearing a Governor's official.

This person was Xie Qian's younger brother Xie Di. The person sitting opposite Xie Di was a middle-aged general of his age. He had a long face and thin lips. He knew it was a trick at first glance.

Heavier people.

"Master Futai, Zhou Chong has given me an order to return to Dinghaiwei within three days. Calculate the time. Tomorrow is the third day. If I don't leave today, I'm afraid I really can't get back!"

The middle-aged general said anxiously, his eyes flashed in his slender eyes, and obviously he had his own plans.

"What are you afraid of? Zhou Chong is just a young boy. He was born as a businessman before. Even if he got the favor of His Majesty, he could not escape the habit of a businessman. So you just stay in Hangzhou City with confidence. I will decide everything for you.

!” Xie Di took a sip of the tea ceremony calmly.

In the past, Zhou Chong was just a small businessman, and Xie Di didn't care much, but now Zhou Chong suddenly became an equal official with him, which forced Xie Di to face Zhou Chong, but he was born in a scholarly family.

He looked down on Zhou Chong, who was a businessman from the bottom of his heart, and of course he looked down on him, but Xie Di couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Zhou Chong.

Seeing Xie Di still letting herself stay in Hangzhou, Cheng Quan was even more anxious, but still smiled and said, "With Futai University, the master of Futai, he naturally did not take Zhou Chong seriously, but I heard that Zhou Chong was like this.

People are full of tricks. When I was a businessman in Shuangyu Port, I quickly developed a dying chamber of commerce into one of the largest chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port. In addition, I also squeezed out many chambers of commerce in North Korea and Japan. So I was worried that if it was me

If you are not in Dinghaiwei for a long time, just relying on that idiot Zhong Zhen, you may be taken advantage of by Zhou Chong. If he controls Dinghaiwei, that would not be good news for us!"

Hearing Cheng Quan's words, Xie Di was stunned at first, pondering for a moment, and felt that what Cheng Quan said made sense. Zhou Chong has arrived in Ningbo now. And his attitude is much tougher than he expected. If he really takes advantage of Cheng Quan's absence

At that time, he forced himself to take over Dinghaiwei. Not only did Cheng Quan be unlucky, but his face was also greatly lost.

Thinking of this, Xie Di knocked on the table with his finger and said, "What you said is reasonable. Although Zhou Chong is from a low-key background, he is still responsible for the emperor's fate. If he uses his power to suppress others, I am afraid that the few scoundrels under your command will be

Can't stand it at all..."

Before Xie Di finished speaking, when Cheng Quan heard his attitude relaxed, he immediately spoke again impatiently: "Master Futai is wise, so what is my subordinates think. Although Dinghaiwei belongs to the court, our Cheng family

It has been in Weizhong for hundreds of years and has a very high reputation in Weizhong. As long as the subordinates are in Weizhong, it is probably not easy for Zhou Chong to take over Dinghaiwei!"

Seeing Cheng Quan's eagerness to go back, Xie Di sneered and said, "Commander Cheng, I know you are worried that you will be forcibly undermined by Zhou Chong, and Zhou Chong's toughness also scares you,

But the same thing is true. With me protecting you, Zhou Chong dared not do anything to you at all!"

Speaking of this, Shadyton said, "But what you said makes sense. You can't take advantage of your absence, so you can go back, but it's not today, but tomorrow.

!”

"Ming...Tomorrow?" Cheng Quan screamed in surprise when he heard this, and then he said anxiously again, "Master Futai, tomorrow is the third day. Even if I leave early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it will be

If you can't rush back to Dinghaiwei on time, what if Zhou Chong uses this as an excuse to punish his subordinates?”

"Hmph, didn't I say that, if I protect you, Zhou Chong would never dare to do anything to you! He asked you to go back within three days, and you would have to go back on the fourth day. What should I do when he sees him?" Xie

At this time, Di looked straight at Cheng Quan and said with a tough look on his face.

After hearing this, he cursed Xie Di in his heart. He finally understood what Xie Di meant. It turned out that he treated himself as a chess piece to test Zhou Chong. He waited until he went back on the fourth day, if Zhou Chong dared not

Punish him, then Zhou Chong's prestige will be hit. On the contrary, if Zhou Chong dares to punish himself, then his prestige in Dinghai Guard will likely arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers in the guards. Anyway, these two results are either

Which one is going to be in a dilemma at that time, and it has nothing to do with Xie Di.

Although Cheng Quan was very dissatisfied with Xie Di's view of himself as a pawn, especially after returning, he had to risk being punished by Zhou Chong, which made him scold Xie Di for being a bastard. But no matter how dissatisfied, he would not

Dare to show it, after all, in the Zhejiang officialdom, he must rely on the Xie family to survive. To put it bluntly, their Cheng family is just a dog raised by the Xie family in the officialdom, let alone Xie Di wants him to go back late

One day, he tested Zhou Chong's reaction. Xie Di asked him to bite Zhou Chong directly, and Cheng Quan did not dare to disobey at all.

Thinking of this, Cheng Quan had to sigh and nodded heavily and said, "Since Lord Futai has had this plan for a long time, I will obey the order. I will go back tomorrow morning!"

Seeing that Cheng Quan finally surrendered, Xie Di finally smiled and said, "Commander Cheng just figured it out. You can go back and prepare now. Go back to Dinghaiwei early tomorrow morning. Similar to Zhou Chong, he dare not do anything to you.

of!"

"Goodbye!" Cheng Quan immediately said goodbye when he heard this. He was afraid that if he stayed there, he would not be able to help but punch Xie Di a few times on his face.

Before dawn the next day, Cheng Quan took his people to the direction of Ningbo. It usually takes two and a half days to go from Hangzhou to Ningbo. However, if you ride a fast horse, you can use the post station to change horses along the way, and

If you don’t rest at night, you can barely rush back on the fourth day.

In addition to struggling desperately along the way, Cheng Quan was also very nervous. He was like Xie Di, and he thought that Zhou Zhong could not see him in Dinghaiwei and could not take over Dinghaiwei. In the end, he had to go to Hangzhou to find him.

However, Zhou Chong's toughness was beyond his expectations, and he just gave him an order to return to the camp within three days, otherwise he would be engaged in military law, which made Cheng Quan keenly realize that he might be kicking this time.

It was on the iron plate. In addition, Xie Di forced herself to go back one day later, which made Cheng Quan very worried. He didn't know what Zhou Chong would do with him.

After a day and night of travel, Cheng Quan finally arrived at Dinghaiwei on the morning of the fourth day. However, when he passed by the military camp, he heard the sound of killing inside and shocking the sky. It was obvious that the military camp was undergoing intense training, and when he

When he wanted to go into the military camp to find out the news, he found that there was an Jinyiwei guard in front of the camp gate, and he couldn't get in at all. Even if he showed his identity, it was a pity that the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, who was in charge, told him.

The Admiral had already issued an order, and without his warrant, no one would enter and exit the military camp!

Cheng Quan was even more shocked to see that he could not even enter the military camp. Finally, he inquired about it. When he learned that Zhou Chong was discussing with the generals in the conference hall of Zhenhai Tower, Cheng Quan

He gave up his idea of ​​entering the military camp and immediately rushed to Zhenhailou. Unfortunately, there were still Jinyiwei guards here, so he could only report his name and wait outside.

Today, Zhou Chong not only gathered the generals and officials of the three thousand households in Ningbo Port, but also gathered the two thousand households in Zhoushan Island and Guo Ju. Now it’s almost the Chinese New Year, and it’s all away from Portugal.

It has only been half a year since people attacked Malacca City, so Zhou Chong is preparing to combine the soldiers of five thousand households to practice together. The focus is on maritime exercises, such as the control of warships, the cooperation between warships, etc.

wait.

At this moment, the Jinyiwei outside suddenly came to report that Cheng Quan, who should have been back yesterday, finally came back. This made Zhou Chong's face suddenly dark. He glanced at the generals sitting there.

From these people's eyes, he saw many complex expressions such as worry, excitement, gloating, etc.

"Let Cheng Quan enter the door!" Zhou Chong snorted coldly. The so-called "entry enter the door" means that the person who comes in will call out his position and name loudly every few steps.

The military camp is not just a means of humiliating people, but only when the army enters a state of combat will some generals who delay military aircraft be punished.

It was precisely because he understood the meaning of the newspaper entrance. All the generals and officials present were stunned. In order to keep it secret, Zhou Chong never told them that he took over Dinghaiwei to help Malacca City next year, so these generals and officials

I don’t know that when Zhou Chong arrived at Dinghaiwei, the entire army had already entered a state of combat.

When Cheng Quan outside heard Zhou Chong let him enter the sect, he was also shocked. As a general, he naturally knew what it means to enter the sect. In addition, he also knew that the army was usually in a state of combat readiness.

, the implementation of military law can be relaxed a lot, but once it enters a state of combat, the military orders must be as high as a mountain. If the military law is violated at this time, then it is necessary no matter how the master general deals with him, because the master general has the power to kill and kill.

One word can determine the life and death of others.

Thinking of this, Cheng Quan suddenly felt an unspeakable fear in his heart. Although he didn't know why Zhou Chong promoted the military camp to a combat state, as the admiral of the Four Seas, the other party would definitely not joke about such major military events.

He was only one day late, but among the fifty-four laws of military law, "no time to stop, no time to violate the deadline" is a crime of slow army, and he also wants to behead him. In other words, Cheng Quan's little
Chapter completed!
