Chapter 2431 Gui Zi Juan personally conquers the East China Sea, arranged by the four sisters
Long Jinwei had no objection to the plan formulated by the Denglai Navy.
They are not good at planning military operations, but once it comes to the stage of specific capture and collection operations, they will play a big role.
Such a coordination meeting is to arrange the division of work. Who will do what at that stage must have a clear goal. Don't go to the scene and you are still confused and don't know who should listen to whom.
From going out to sea to arriving at the destination of the two islands, the navy is the main force, but once the target is surrounded, the dragon captain is the main force. After all, this is not a simple battle. Once these Japanese pirates or pirates are captured, Regardless of whether it is an important person, the second is to raise money. This is the purpose that the censors must follow.
If there is no censor to supervise the formation, these warriors who do not know the heights of the world will have no scruples. It is possible that 90% of the collected property will be directly swallowed up. When the time comes, I will hand over three to fifty thousand taels of silver to you and everything will be fine. You want to cry but have no tears.
“Ziying, are you going?” Sun Chengzong, Yang Lian, Sun Dingxiang and others all frowned at the same time, “What are you going to do?”
"Hehe, Brother Zhisheng, Brother Shuxiang, and Brother Wenru, if I don't go, do you think a few censors can suppress Lieutenant Long and these sailors, as well as the roughnecks of the Liaodong Army?" Feng Ziying laughed. He asked rhetorically: "Being at sea is not as good as inland. Once something happens, these warriors will not care about it. Maybe one of the censors will slip and fall into the water and drown. I don't know."
One sentence made both Yang Lian and Sun Ding slightly change their expressions, but Sun Chengzong frowned: "Ziying, be careful, the military discipline of the Denglai Army and the Liaodong Army is still good..."
But the tone of his words is no longer so confident.
Especially since this is the home base of the Tang family and pirates, it is inevitable that too much wealth and money will be produced. What if these poor and crazy warriors will become red at a glance?
Long Jinwei is also a bold master. What can a few censors do?
What should we do if a dispute breaks out and this group of people is ruthless and murders someone without any evidence?
That's the sea. Who can tell clearly? There are a thousand reasons to explain it.
Feng Ziying mentioned this, Yang Lian and Sun Dingxiang originally thought that Feng Ziying could not leave Nanjing, but now they are also inclined to support Feng Ziying to go to Songjiang and the sea.
The Tang family needs to investigate, but more importantly, they need to eradicate the Japanese pirates and find out who they are colluding with.
For example, Jinshan Guards Station is obviously colluding with these pirates and Japanese pirates. Otherwise, it has repeatedly committed crimes in sea areas such as Majishan Islands and Chenqianshan Islands. Why has nothing been discovered?
Let alone encirclement and suppression.
Even if your Jinshan Guards Station is unable to destroy it, why don’t you report it to the Navy?
There is the Denglai Navy in the north and the Fujian Navy in the south, but neither of them has received a report from the Jinshan Guards Station.
“Ziying, as soon as you leave, Nanjing and Yangzhou...” Sun Chengzong also hesitated.
I was really worried that something would happen if I didn't go, but if I went, Feng Ziying was familiar with the situation here. She had no problem with military affairs, but she was far inferior to Feng Ziying on follow-up matters.
"Brother Zhisheng, I will only be there for about ten days at most. I have Brother Shuxiang and Brother Wenru here to help me. We can take action against the Zhen family. The Zhen family is also willing to cooperate, but there is no need to take too big a move. To avoid alerting others, and to give other families some luck, we only talk to the outside world about the Zhen family and the Beijing Wang family, and connect these two families together to give outsiders some illusions..."
Feng Ziying’s words did not win the approval of Sun Chengzong and Yang Lian.
"Ziying, you are too wishful thinking. If you touch the Zhen family, how can the Zhou family, the Hu family and the Tao family not be nervous? The Zhen family is the head of the four families, and there are other powerful people involved in illegal salt sales. How can you Aren't you afraid? How can you fool these people by saying these things? These people have already become frightened."
I have to say that Yang Lian’s words hit the nail on the head. How could the other three companies and the powerful people involved in illegal salt trafficking stay away from the matter? There will definitely be a backlash.
The problem is that if we don’t move the Zhen family, and we are worried that these people will also act in advance, it is better to take action first.
Feng Ziying pondered for a long time and then said: "Brother Zhisheng, Brother Shuxiang, Brother Wenru, let me see if it is possible to summon Zhen Yingjia every day, but then let him go back at night. After three or five consecutive days, let Zhen Yingjia spread the word. , he is willing to donate five hundred thousand taels of silver, which can paralyze the other families. Seeing that the Zhen family is not touched by the court, the Zhen family is willing to take the initiative to donate. It seems that the problem can be solved in this way..."
The eyes of several people brightened up, and they began to think about what was going on here.
Indeed, it seemed to be targeting the Zhen family, but they did not touch the Zhen family. As a result, the Zhen family donated 500,000 yuan, which seemed to be a way to atone for their sins.
But the Zhen family can settle everything with half a million yuan, but what about other families?
Especially the officials who are wary of having connections with these wealthy families can be relieved. These wealthy families have been preserved, and naturally they will not be involved in the past. They can also enjoy the bribes and bribes in peace and mind. Black money.
“In this way, we can gain time and deal with the Tang family and Ding family first?” Yang Lian asked hesitantly.
"Actually, we can also include the Zhou family. The situation of the Zhou family is very special. There are some cases in Jinling Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture and even Suzhou Prefecture. In fact, they all point to the Zhou family colluding with the Yangtze River water bandits, and also with Jiang Some of the waterproofers are involved. If we start from the waterproofers of Jiang and wipe out the Zhou family and the Yangtze River water bandits, I believe the impact can be controlled..."
Feng Ziying's suggestion was opposed by Sun Ding: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. If the Zhou family is touched, the Hu family may be able to stabilize, but what about the Tao family? The Tao family has been involved in many **** cases of annexing land, and it hasn't been touched at all?"
After a dispute, it was finally decided that the other families would not move for the time being, and the Tang and Ding families would be dealt with first, and finally the three families of Zhou, Tao, Hu and other local wealthy families would be dealt with.
Of course, this is just an idealized state. No one can predict how these powerful families will react. The decision must be made based on the actual situation.
************
Zhen Baochen was also extremely surprised when he learned that Feng Ziying was going to Songjiang in person and participating in the elimination of the Japanese pirates' lair.
From her point of view, this kind of matter can be left to the navy. Why does the dignified minister of the Ministry of War have to personally participate in such an operation?
In the past few days, sisters Zhen Baochen and Zhen Baoyu have lived in Feng Mansion, together with sisters Li Min and Li Qi.
This salt merchant's mansion is very magnificent, and Feng Ziying is not the kind of person who cares too much, so she follows the previous style and is very particular about food, clothing and housing. Therefore, after the Zhen sisters put their mind at ease, they gradually adapted to it. of current life.
Since the decision-making power is not in their own hands and can only be left to the court, there is no point in worrying about it. Moreover, Feng Ziying's promise makes the sisters feel more at ease.
Li Min was not very fond of seeing the Zhen sisters, and was even a little displeased with Li Qi's self-assertion.
However, after the four girls lived together, they became familiar with each other. Under the sympathy of each other, the unfamiliarity and estrangement between each other quickly disappeared, and they became familiar with each other.
If Feng Ziying wants to leave Nanjing for Songjiang, it will take who knows how long. Not only the Zhen sisters are a little anxious and panicked, but also Li Min and Li Qi are a little worried.
The four girls are now in an embarrassing situation.
Li Min and Li Qi are concubines in name, but there are certain things to be done to accept them as concubines.
Theoretically, there is still a ritual. Of course, it cannot be as formal as marrying a wife and taking a concubine, but generally speaking, you will choose a good and auspicious day, and then have a small dinner as an announcement.
There is no need to announce it to the outside world, and generally no outside guests are invited. Instead, they are usually the master's staff, attendants, housekeepers and servants at home. They gather together for a drink to let everyone understand that so-and-so is now the master's concubine. , considered half a master.
Whether it is a good concubine brought in by a decent family from outside, or a concubine raised as a concubine because she has given birth to a child, or a "mean concubine" who is waiting to be redeemed directly by the Jiaofang Secretary, there must be such a small ceremony. .
But the Li sisters did not experience this.
They are almost the family members of prisoners of war. Li Shouzhong has been declared unpardonable by the court, so theoretically, the Li sisters are the family members of prisoners of war. Accepting the family members of prisoners of war is against the rules of the court and must be punished.
At the beginning, they sacrificed themselves in a desperate move. Feng Ziying fell in love with her, but because he was satisfied with the two women, he recognized them as his concubines.
It's just that in Nanjing City, Sun and Feng are the most respected people. Sun Dingxiang and Yang Lian are from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Anyone else would have had an attack long ago, but they also pretended to turn a blind eye to Feng Ziying. Only Wait until Gu Bingqian comes to see how to deal with this matter.
In this case, it would be inappropriate to hold a banquet and drink, it would be purely provocative, so in a sense, the Li sisters are more like an outside room.
Sisters Li Min and Li Qi certainly do not want to be outside wives.
Even if time is delayed and a Cheng Yi like this is made later, it can be regarded as joining the Feng family, and it can be regarded as a member of the Feng family. At least it has a master and will not be abandoned casually in the future.
But now Feng Ziying suddenly wants to leave Nanjing for Songjiang. What if Feng Ziying never returns to Nanjing after going to Songjiang?
Or go directly to Yangzhou and return to Beijing via the canal? Or perhaps he returned to Beijing by sea?
This mansion was originally borrowed. What will they do when it is returned to the owner's family?
Although it seems that Feng Ziying is not the kind of person who is ruthless and dotes on their sisters, for two weak women, this uncertain risk still makes them a little panicked.
