Chapter 1125 Cross-camp cooperation

While Shen Zhixiang was eating, his nose suddenly felt itchy. He turned his head and sneezed loudly into the open space next to him, thinking that there was someone talking about me behind his back.

Haihan's officer's meal consists of two meats and two vegetables. Although it is not rich, it tastes really good. According to Ge Yong, these dishes use a variety of spices that are produced in the south, and he would definitely not be able to eat them while serving in the Liaodong Army.

Arrived.

Pan Yan finished his portion almost twice as fast as the others. He wiped his mouth with unfinished content, but his eyes were fixed on the plates in front of others. Upon seeing this, Ge Yong asked someone to bring him another meal for one person.

Pan Yan was not polite, and after thanking him, he continued to destroy the second portion. He had hardly eaten enough during his stay in Liaodong, and now looking at the food gave him the urge to reincarnate as a hungry ghost.

Shen Zhixiang was eating while observing the Haihan officers who came here to dine. These people were generally young and dark-skinned. They were all presentable whether they were sitting or standing. They rarely talked during the meal. This was obviously a long-term situation.

Habits that can only be developed in a disciplined environment.

After a simple meal, according to the itinerary, the next step was to visit the dock construction site in Zhifu Bay, but at this time a soldier came and whispered a few words in Xie Li's ear. Xie Li nodded, and then said

Shen Zhixiang said: "The chief asked General Shen to come to the headquarters for a briefing."

Shen Zhixiang had not formally met with the high-ranking Haihan officials other than Wang Tom when he came this time. Naturally, he had no reason to refuse the invitation. He immediately followed Xie Li to the command headquarters on the island. In addition to Wang Tom, there were also money waiting for him here.

Tian Dun and Hao Wanqing. After Xie Li introduced their identities to Qian Hao, he exited the room.

"General Shen, we have something to ask you." Wang Tom said straight to the point: "Do you know anyone from Qishan Qianhusuo nearby?"

"I know you! Mr. Feng from Qishan Institute, I met him several times when I came to Dengzhou before." Shen Zhixiang didn't know what he meant, but he still answered Wang Tom's question honestly.

"Would it be rude if you took the initiative to visit him at Qishan Institute?" Wang Tom continued to ask.

Shen Zhixiang is also a smart man. He had already smelled something after hearing this, and asked Wang Tom back: "Do you want me to go to Qishan Qianhuo? Do you want to bring you a message?"

"We want to know the Qishan Qianhu Institute's true opinion on our settlement in Zhifu Bay, but if we ask directly, it will obviously offend Mr. Feng, so we hope someone can mediate. At present, it seems that General Shen should be a very suitable candidate.

Yes." Qian Tiandun responded.

Shen Zhixiang asked tentatively: "Is it possible that Qishan Institute is hostile to you?"

"It is essential to be on guard against others. We want to clarify this matter to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts in the future." Wang Tom explained: "We are very happy to cooperate with the government, but maybe the government will use it against us.

People who feel nervous about self-defense may even be biased because of this, so it is necessary to eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible. This is a good thing for both parties. After we solve this problem, we can safely assist Dongjiang Town. The reason for this does not need to be

If I explain more, General Shen will understand."

Shen Zhixiang thought to himself that if I were the local garrison, I might be even more nervous, seeing such a huge fleet parked in Zhifu Bay, with more armed personnel than the garrison of Qianhusuo City, without the permission of the government.

How could such a formation be regarded as a sign of goodwill? It was simply a blatant invasion of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the local garrison in Dengzhou and him, the representative of Dongjiang Town, had very different attitudes towards the Haihan garrison in Zhifu Bay out of their own interests. The Dengzhou garrison was afraid that the Haihan people would invade by military means.

Locally, Dongjiang Town has no such concerns, and now the Haihan people have made it clear that they will provide material assistance to Dongjiang Town, and use methods including force to help Dongjiang Town regain its strength and counterattack Liaodong. From the standpoint of Dongjiang Town

Above, Shen Zhixiang definitely hopes that Haihan can fulfill his promise as soon as possible. As for whether the safety and interests of the Dengzhou garrison will be damaged as a result, he no longer cares so much.

Shen Zhixiang quickly made a decision. In order to save Dongjiang Town, he must help Haihan handle this matter properly. Shen Zhixiang took a deep breath and said to Wang Tom: "Then what should I do?"

Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun remained silent, turning to look at Hao Wanqing who had been silent next to him. Hao Wanqing sighed. He was originally opposed to this, but the military insisted on trying this plan, and Shen Zhixiang also stated

This made it difficult for him to continue to oppose. What he needed to consider now was how to cooperate with the military in this operation and use Shen Zhixiang's identity to collect intelligence on Qishan Institute in as much detail as possible.

In Qishansuo City, a few miles south of Zhifu Bay, Feng Fei felt his nose was itchy at this moment. He rubbed it hard twice and shouted loudly: "Whatever Shangguan Master wants to eat, just hurry up and get it. It's such a small thing."

If you can’t do it well, what’s the use of me raising waste like you?”

Feng Fei's life has been really not easy these days. Dengzhou City suddenly sent Shangguanye, a general, with an official document issued by the Shandong Dusi, and stationed in Qishansuo City in the name of inspecting coastal defense. This Shangguan Lord is not good.

After arriving, not only did they have to arrange separate meals and lodging for him and his entourage, but he also temporarily took over the command of Qishan Station in the name of the commander of the Dengzhou Guard.

Before Feng Fei could figure out what was going on, he had already been sidelined. He was transformed from a thousand households into a housekeeper doing odd jobs. He was called around by Shangguanye every day, and he was naturally in a very bad mood. Today Shangguanye suddenly said that he wanted to eat sheep.

, one sentence made the whole Qishan Institute start to panic. Even the military rations in this place were counted and consumed. There were no sheep to kill. The people below could only come to Feng Fei to plead for mercy, but Feng Fei didn't

If you dare to bargain with the officials, you will only vent your anger on your subordinates.

In Qishan Qianshusuo, most of the military households that were stationed there have fled during the wars in the past two years. Now it is still difficult to be self-sufficient in food. Finally, relying on short-term establishment, we can deduct two to three thousand kilograms of food every month.

Inventory, Shangguanye sealed up the grain depot as soon as he arrived, saying that he wanted to calculate the military rations, leaving only the actual local needs and requisitioning the rest. Feng Fei was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he was taken away with a seal.

The fruits of several months of hard work. But this Shangguanye was a military attaché from out of town, and he would not give him the respect of a local guard officer at all. Feng Fei tried to beg him to be more tolerant, but he hit a hard wall. Not only did the situation not improve,

The oppression of Qishan Institute has intensified.

But this is just a trivial matter. After all, the food requisition will not hurt Qishan. What Feng Fei is really worried about is that Shangguan Ye will act randomly after taking over the command and provoke the people he shouldn't, such as

The Haihan people in Zhifu Bay in the north.

Originally, Feng Fei had reached a tacit agreement with Haihan, allowing Haihan to settle in Zhifu Bay, and Haihan regularly paid tribute to him. Both sides got what they needed, and there was no need to worry about conflicts. The missing Ming army at the Yantai Mountain post

, Feng Fei knew that there would be no results if he continued to pursue it. Instead, he would offend the Haihan people, and in the end it would be nothing. Moreover, at Haihan's request, Feng Fei also deliberately withdrew the local garrison arrangement and instead changed it to two days.

A routine patrol.

But on the first day when Shangguan Ye came to Qishan Institute, he took his troops to Yantai Mountain and asked Feng Fei to immediately resume guarding the piers on the mountain. He also sent people to join him, apparently to guard against Qishan.

The people sent by Shansuo deliberately released the water.

Although Shangguanye did not say it clearly, Feng Fei could already feel that the general was probably coming for the Haihan people in the north of Zhifu Bay. It seemed that the big shots in Dengzhou City were not at ease about the appearance of the Haihan fleet.

, it can even be said to be hostile. The reports Feng Fei submitted to Dengzhou were very plain. He only mentioned that this was a maritime caravan from the south. It is said that Fushan County has also put aside its prejudices and cooperated with the Haihan people.

How did the hostility in Dengzhou City arise?

If this old man could be invited away, Feng Fei would like to pay for him to hire a sedan to carry him back to Dengzhou City. However, Shangguanye has taken over Qishan Suo City at present, and it seems that he will not leave here for a while.

This also made Feng Fei feel very frustrated. He even thought that if there was a conflict between Shangguanye and the Haihan people, he would most likely be the first to be sent out to die.

Feng Fei also thought about sending someone to talk to the Haihan people to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, but when he wanted to do it, he discovered that Shangguanye had arranged for his own people to take over the gates entering and exiting the city.

Passage, if you want to go out of the city to do business, you need his warrant, so Feng Fei can only give up his original idea.

Feng Fei scolded his subordinates and sent them away. Just as he was sitting and sulking, one of his subordinates suddenly came to report that someone from Dongjiang Town was coming from outside the city and wanted to visit Qianhu.

"People from Dongjiang Town? Why are you here at Qishan at this time?" Although Feng Fei vaguely guessed that he might also be here to collect food, but out of professionalism, he decided to rush to the city gate to take a look.

specific situation.

When Feng Fei arrived at the city gate, he saw that Shangguan Ye had arrived before him, so he went over to say hello. Shangguan Ye nodded and said, "Master Feng is here just in time. Do you recognize someone named Shen Zhixiang in Dongjiang Town, Liaodong?"

Feng Fei nodded and replied: "I recognize you. This person is the nephew of Shen Shikui, the governor of Dongjiang Town. He is now the General of Dongjiang, and he is on the same level as your Excellency."

Shangguanye responded disdainfully: "First level? Dongjiang Town has been losing ground in Liaodong in the past two years. I think this general is also very wet! That's all. Do you know why he came here to visit?"

Feng Fei guessed: "Perhaps winter is approaching and they came to Dengzhou to collect food. In previous summer and autumn seasons, Dongjiang Town would send people to various parts of Dengzhou Prefecture to collect food for winter needs."

Shangguanye's suspicion seemed to have dispelled a bit, and he nodded and said, "In that case, you will be responsible for the reception."

It's not that Shangguanye has any personal prejudice against Dongjiang Town, but since the other party is here to collect food, there will definitely be a conflict of interest with the troops that Shangguanye belongs to. At this time, it is best not to see the king, so as not to make each other look ugly.

Feng Fei asked for instructions: "But now that the granary in the city has been sealed by your lord, I have to get the grain before I can send it away. I also ask your lord to open the granary."

Shangguanye shook his head and said: "You seem to have misunderstood something. I asked you to be responsible for reception, not to deliver food to them! Whether Dongjiang Town is hungry or not, does it have anything to do with us?"

After saying that, he led the people out of the city gate and returned to the station, leaving behind a frightened Feng Fei. He did not expect that Shangguan Ye was so tyrannical and did not intend to consider the feelings of the friendly troops and not provide assistance to them.

"Open the city gate!" After a while, Feng Fei calmed down and ordered the city to be opened to welcome the special envoy from Dongjiang Town.

Shen Zhixiang only brought a dozen followers with him, including two personnel selected by Haihan, who were responsible for collecting intelligence. Of course, they may also be responsible for monitoring him at close range when entering the city. But Shen Zhixiang didn't care about these details, he

All I want to do now is to get rid of the trouble in Qishan Institute as soon as possible so that Haihan can deliver supplies to Dongjiang Town without any worries.

"Master Feng, long time no see, always nice!" After the city gate creaked open, the expression on Shen Zhixiang's face immediately became alive, and he bowed his hands and greeted Feng Fei.

"Master Shen suddenly came here. It's really a pleasure to meet you!" Feng Fei was polite while looking at Shen Zhixiang's team. He saw that there were only about ten people, and he was already relieved. What if Shen Zhixiang also brought two to three hundred people?

When the team comes over, the food stored in Qishan Station really won't last long.

The two of them stood at the city gate and exchanged a few words, and then Feng Fei took Shen Zhixiang into the city. Shen Zhixiang was now a military commander, and he was of a higher rank than Feng Fei. In addition, there was another military commander living in the city.

General, Feng Fei could only arrange food and accommodation for Shen Zhixiang according to the same standards. Fortunately, Shen Zhixiang's team was small, so it didn't take much trouble to settle in.

"I wonder why Mr. Shen came to Qishan Institute this time?" Feng Fei asked proactively.

"There are business matters and private matters." Shen Zhixiang responded with a smile: "Private matters, I just came to see Mr. Feng. I haven't seen you for a long time, and you still have the same style!"

Feng Fei said a few polite words and then changed the topic back: "What about official business?"

"It's business..." The smile on Shen Zhixiang's face slowly disappeared: "I'm just here for the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on Pi Island!"

Damn it, he really came here to collect food! Feng Fei cursed secretly in his heart, but pretended not to understand on his face and said: "I don't know what Mr. Shen meant."

However, Shen Zhixiang did not continue to talk about this matter. He suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Has Mr. Feng had any contact with the Haihan people in Zhifu Bay to the north?"

Feng Fei was startled, wondering why he suddenly asked about this unrelated matter. He immediately followed the words he used when submitting the report to the Dengzhou government, saying that the Haihan fleet was only here to do business and to assist the government in relieving the people.

This is what a virtuous businessman says.
