Chapter 814 The prerequisite for cooperation is to fight first
Famous generals are also smuggled.
Eunuch Wei expressed his understanding of this. If you don’t smuggle, you can’t support your soldiers.
Chen Yourong Gu was a famous general in the battles between the south and the north, but he was a warrior.
The current status of military generals is not enough to be eliminated. Eunuch Wei will make a demonstration.
The two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang have always been major smuggling provinces, regardless of ancient and modern times.
Even in the nine borders, which general did not engage in smuggling transactions with Mongolian Tatars and Jianzhou slaves in private?
In the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, smuggling has become an important source of funds for border town generals, and the root cause is that the country has no money.
As a general of Zhejiang, Chen Yourong was equivalent to the deputy general. He deliberately innovated and wanted to conquer Japan throughout his life. He participated in smuggling and obtained money from it to raise soldiers. It is understandable.
At least, Shen Zhi's actions were much stronger than those generals who smuggled for profit, not for public purposes but for private purposes, and the many greedy maritime merchants along the coast.
Money can be earned or even dirty, but the premise is that you have to use the money on the edge, rather than putting it into your private pocket.
Some people say that corrupt officials who can do things are more beneficial to the country and the people than those who don’t do things.
Just Eunuch Wei’s trip to the south was also smuggling. Of course, he had a better name for this.
If the city is open, the profit will come; if the city is not open, the enemy will come.
To make profits, we must trade and trade; to not make enemies, we must become enemies.
The name of father-in-law can be achieved forever in history and will be glorious for generations.
To win over Chen Yourong and join hands with the Zhejiang Navy to conquer the Japanese together is a strategic event that is operational, virtuous and of great significance.
In terms of strength, Zhejiang has nine guards, which is much stronger than Eunuch Wei’s royal navy. In name, Eunuch Wei is an internal minister. As long as he gets the emperor’s permission, he can leave the outer court alone.
The reason why Jin Xuezeng and Shen Yourong failed to succeed in the expedition was that they were in the court. Now, they were able to bypass the court and carry out the revolution, greatly improving their success.
This also shows that in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to do good things, you still need the participation of eunuchs.
During the Yongle period, voyage to the West was a good example for the younger generation to learn from.
How can we deeply grasp the heart of Shengan General? Eunuch Wei is confident.
What he is best at in his life is not to suppress others by force, but to dress people with his preferences.
Besides, in Zhejiang, Eunuch Wei is not without allies.
The eunuch Sun Long, the eunuch of the Suzhou-Hangzhou weaving industry who was driven from Suzhou to Hangzhou, has always regarded him as his brother Wei as a brother in distress.
When the Wuxi incident happened that day, when Eunuch Wei had no relatives, Eunuch Sun presented him with a song called "Lime Song" by Mr. Yu Qian. There is no need to say much about this kind of friendship, belief and understanding.
The poem given back by Eunuch Wei, by Zhang Huangyan, from Cangshui Gong, also contains too many personal feelings.
It is also a strange thing that the two people in the eyes of the world can express their aspirations through poetry and cherish their heroes.
It is true that Zhejiang is the base of the Zhejiang Party, and the huge profits of maritime trade have always been controlled by the Zhejiang Party. Although the Zhejiang Party is not as powerful as Donglin in the court, it has also produced the chief minister and several Grand Secretary. The lean camel is bigger than the horse. Even though the Zhejiang Party is now losing power, Donglin has not been able to uproot it. Its old nest, Zhejiang, is even more incompatible with others.
Moreover, Eunuch Wei knew that in a few years, the Zhejiang Party would have another chief assistant Fang Congzhe. The "Red Pill Case" of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, and the "Palace Movement Case" will be related to it.
To be more precise, Eunuch Wei’s mistress Xi Li was called Fang Congzhe to have no temper, and the real husband of the mistress was also called Fang Congzhe to have no temper.
Of course, Fang Congzhe was kind-hearted, who knew that Red Pill would kill him?
When the palace was moved, although the Donglin Party members were Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others who acted as thugs.
But without Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant, support, Yang, Zuo and others would not have been able to do anything.
No matter what Fang Congzhe did, he was at least the number one leader in the Ming Dynasty in those years, and the power of the Zhejiang Party increased again.
Therefore, this time, when the troops were sent to attack and pacify the Wei Port, Eunuch Wei was not prepared to expand the situation. As far as possible, he still wanted to cooperate with the Zhejiang Party and the Zhejiang Party's Jiuwei controlled by the Zhejiang Party.
After all, the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party are different. If we say which of the two is more like a capitalist party, Eunuch Wei will definitely choose the Zhejiang Party without hesitation.
Because the Zhejiang Party’s vision is wider and farther than that of Donglin.
This is due to the huge profits of sea trade.
In other words, most officials and gentry in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong have a greater understanding of the world than most of their colleagues in this era.
Seek common ground while reserving differences.
As long as both sides have a common understanding of maritime trade, both sides will have a 50% basis for cooperation, and the remaining 50% will just be how to divide the cake.
The vision and knowledge that Eunuch Wei possesses are exactly the one who makes the big cake.
In a word, as long as the Zhejiang Party is willing to cooperate with Eunuch Wei, he can make their profits a few times.
Therefore, looking at the generals with a worried look, my father-in-law couldn't help but laugh, saying that the sky fell and our family would be at the top of the house. What are you thinking about?
Seeing that Eunuch Wei said this, the generals could only force themselves to smile and secretly guessed that their father-in-law was planning to "slander" in the emperor, otherwise how could there be nothing wrong?
Ruan Dacheng thought so too, but he didn't think that the emperor had just listened to the slander of the little eunuch. How could this good show end like this?
Eunuch Wei waved his hand and ordered the captive soldiers of the mountain station and the six ships to be held behind the fleet, beat drums and flags, and the navy soldiers continued to advance bravely.
If you don’t set foot on the harbor, you will not return to your army!
Cooperation is cooperation, and win over is enlisted. What should be beaten should be beaten, and what should be killed should be killed.
If the turtle lambs in Pingwu Port were not lit up the sky lanterns, Eunuch Wei's authority would be questioned.
If you want to cooperate with the Zhejiang Party, you must first let them know that the Admiral Marine Inspector Wei is not easy to bully.

Zhoushan is also very cold in December.
"Swoosh" Under the cold wind, the coldness only makes people unable to stay outside. Even if they stay inside the house, they will be very cold. In comparison, although winter in the north is very cold, the impact on people is not as good as that in the south.
Song San is the small flag of the Zhongzuo Qianhu Institute. He has been buried in the quilt until dawn. He doesn't blame him for not raising him. It's really cold outside.
This ghost weather is like going out for a long trip after leaving the bed. Even peeing can make the birds frozen into a ball. There is warmth and bed to stay. Who would like to go out?
But when I was sleeping well, I smelled a scent of smoke in my nostrils, which was very choking.
"Ahem! Ahem! Which bastard is burning the fire, the smoke is so big!"
Song San started to curse in the quilt and looked up and saw a group of guys outside the house surrounding the iron pot to make a fire. I don’t know what was cooking in the pot, but a group of people were cooking there.
What to cook?
When Song San saw something in the pot, he was happy. He didn't care about the cold weather. He hurriedly put on his clothes and pushed open the door and walked over. He found that there was actually a piece of meat in the pot. He was immediately happy when he saw that Song Xiaoqi had come and moved the place.
Although Song San is a small flag, the small flag of the garrison is at best a foreman. They lead the hard work, but the benefits are not much to the pocket.
All year round, there is nothing left to eat. Thousands of households are close to the sea, so I am tired of eating fish and shrimp. How many meals of pork a year is considered a big meat.
"Where did you get the meat?"
Song San asked the guys under his hands while stirring the big pot with a spoon.
A subordinate grinned and said, "Daqiang didn't hand over what he got from Wusong last time. He hid for several days. Brothers took it out and gave it a tooth sacrifice."
"Salty?"
