Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 1162: Go North To Make Contributions

In Laizhou Water Camp, the news ship that had just returned from the Yangtze River brought a letter to Feng Xifan, an envoy of the East China Sea Division, and Simingbo Feng Xifan. www.uuk.la

The letter was written by Li Kuangming, commander of the new three armies stationed in Suzhou. In the letter, Li Kuangming, in a tone of almost pleading, hoped that the East Sea Division could send Qi’s family to Nandu, and they must not be harmed by the Qing army.

Feng Xifan was a little confused, thinking that Li Kuangming and Yu Qi were related to each other, that’s why he cared about Yu Qi’s family. Later, I asked Wei Dalong, the general of the Marine Corps and former deputy of Zhang Mingzhen, Dingxi Hou of the Zhejiang Army, to find out that Yu Qi’s mother relative Yan Jun was the eldest daughter of General Qi Jiguang, and Li Kuangming and the Duke of Zhejiang who were killed in Jiangbei Yu Shizhong and others are descendants of the Qi family army. With such a relationship, Li Kuangming and other descendants of the Qi family had to find a way to protect the Qi family.

Out of respect for General Qi Jiguang and the influence of Li Kuangming, the main commander of the Taiping Army, Feng Xifan did not dare to neglect this matter. He asked Wei Dalong, “Is Yu Qi’s mother still alive?”

Wei Dalong said that he had sent people to contact Qi Yan earlier. After the revolt, he arranged for his family in Yashan, but his mother Qi Yanjun had been dead for many years.

Feng Xifan thought for a while and instructed Wei Dalong: “Then you should send someone to contact Yu Qi and ask him to send his family to us, and then arrange a boat to Jiangnan.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange this right away.”

Wei Dalong nodded. As the general of the Marine Corps, he has been infiltrating inland since he occupied the Laizhou Water Camp. He has officially established contact with Yu Qiyi Army, and he has also sent more than 100 elite soldiers to help Yu Qi. Training subordinates. He had also been to Yu Qi in person, and the two of them had a good relationship with each other, and they believed that Yu Qi would definitely receive good intentions.

After Wei Dalong went, Feng Xifan went to Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zanxu to tell them what Li Kuangming had entrusted to them.

After Zheng Mingjun heard this, he frowned slightly and said, “Commander Li has good intentions about this matter, but I’m afraid Yu Qi may not appreciate it. If it goes wrong, will he worry about whether we will take his family as hostages?”

“But I was negligent and forgot this section.”

Feng Xifan regretted a little. After all, although Yu Qiyi Army established contact with them and accepted help from Taiping Army such as ordnance, food, instructors, etc., it was not Taiping Army after all, and it was not controlled by their Donghai Navy. The other party will definitely have doubts when the child sends it over. If because of this matter, Qi Li became vigilant against the Taiping Army, then it would be a big trouble.

Seeing that Feng Xifan was going to send someone to recover Wei Dalong, Zheng Mingjun said it was not necessary, anyway, they were not afraid of shadow evil. Yu Qiling doesn’t appreciate it, so what he thinks is his business. That was the only way, Feng Xifan reluctantly agreed.

Zheng Mingjun added: “The imperial edict has come, and King Qi is working on the constitutional reform. In the future, the imperial court will be composed of the Privy Council, the Grand Governor’s Office, and the Cabinet. Our Donghai Division will be controlled by the Grand Governor’s Office.”

“This is also what it should be.” Feng Xifan heard about the restructuring of the imperial court, nodded immediately, and asked again, “Who leads the Privy Council?”

The Grand Governor’s Mansion must be in charge of King Qi himself, and there will be no major changes in the cabinet, but who is the person in charge of the Privy Council?

“The cabinet side is still led by the chief assistant Guo Zhiqi, the Grand Governor’s Office and the Privy Council are temporarily led by the King of Qi, and Zheng Xi, Li Dingguo, and Li Laiheng are all assistants. minister.”

It was Zheng Zanxu who spoke, and he showed Feng Xifan the constitutional reform document issued by the imperial court to the East Sea Division. According to this book, Wuchen and Counts above are all admitted to the Privy Council, and they are called the Privy Council. Three of them, one duke, one marquis, and one earl, are all admitted to the Privy Council.

“Three princes to assist?” Feng Xifan was surprised. “In the future, as long as they are princes, they will be the assistants?”

“You have to ask His Royal Highness King Qi about this.”

The Privy Council’s handling of the world’s major affairs, such as changing laws, declaring war, discussing money, and levying gifts, is more important than the cabinet bachelor, so Zheng Mingjun is still very happy to be a Privy Minister. Although the Donghai Sea Master is the three of them at the moment, the navy plays a key role in the Northern Expedition under the leadership of King Qi. Several generals who were born in the navy, this is undoubtedly a good thing for the navy in the future.

Zheng Xi also had correspondence with Zheng Mingjun in the southern capital. They were both children of the Zheng family, and they both had conflicts with Zheng Jing, so there was no indifference between them. According to Zheng Xi, King Qi attached great importance to the navy. After the successful Northern Expedition, he planned to convert the navy into a navy and take on the important task of opening up overseas territories for the Ming Dynasty. Even the King of Qi had a vague intention of conquering Japanese. All of these show that in the future, there will be more and more people in the navy field, and the influence will also increase.

“By the way, how come back to Huang Wu?” Zheng Zanxu asked suddenly.

Zheng Mingjun and Feng Xifan discussed it and said, “Let’s do it according to King Qi’s wishes.”

Huang Wu had sent an emissary to Laizhou Shuiying earlier, saying that he had already reported to Nandu, but now he did not dare to act rashly because Belletuntai led the Eight Banners Ban Brigade in Shandong. At that time, Zheng Mingjun and others thought that this matter had been approved by King Qi, so although they hated Huang Wu deeply~www.readwn.com~, they had to write back to him, expressing their willingness to cooperate with him in Jinan anyway, to find an opportunity to annihilate the Tuntai Department.

With Huang Zongxi in the southern capital as security, and a reply from the navy division of the Taiping Army in Laizhou Shuiying, Huang Wu felt that the retreat was foolproof, so he was really ready to make a move and wanted to give Tuntai a big surprise.

It’s a pity that Huang Wu didn’t expect that Huang Zongxi could not protect him, and the secret order has been passed down from Nandu, and Huang Wu’s words are not accepted anyway.

The specific implementation of this matter will be carried out by Zheng Mingjun and the others. Feng Xifan thinks that it is better to lie to Huang Wu first anyway, catch Tuntai by surprise, and then attack him.

Zheng Mingjun suggested that Huang Wu be handed over to Yu Qi, so as to avoid some adverse effects on the Taiping Army. After all, since King Luo Ding of Qi started his army, the Taiping Army has killed many officials of the Qing court, but they have never killed important officials who took the initiative to govern. If Huang Wu’s affairs were leaked, Manchu officials in the northern provinces would be bound to resist to the end, which would be very unfavorable to the Northern Expedition.

After talking about Huang Wu’s story, Feng Xifan said, “Long San and the others went to explore the north. The Tartars put together a hundred and ten boats and said that they wanted to defend the Jinmen, and Shi Lang was the leader.”

“The Tartars never looked down on him before, but now they let him defend the Jinmen. Could it be that the Tartars thought Shi Lang, this bastard, was really our opponent?” Zheng Zanxu snorted.

“Be careful sailing the Wannian Ship, Zanxu, you and Xi Fan personally lead the team north, and wrap Shi Lang’s fleet for me. We must not let it escape. After this battle, we are probably going to Liaodong.” Zheng Ming Jundao.

“Second uncle, is King Qi going north?”

Zheng Zanxu and Feng Xifan were both a little excited. They were playing small things here in Laizhou, and they could make a lot of achievements, but if the army went north to conquer Korea and settle Liaodong, it would be an invaluable achievement.

“Come on, I think, King Qi can’t wait.”

Zheng Mingjun looked up to the south, his eyes full of earnestness. 8)
