Hanzhong.

Shang Kexi has been in a good mood recently.

Qi Cheng, a Sichuan grain merchant, took the initiative to contact him and expressed his willingness to sell grain to the Qing army in Hanzhong.

The conditions are five times the market price.

Of course, he would not hesitate if this condition is still good. To be honest, he would not frown even if the market price is higher than ten times.

However, he did not agree to Qi Cheng immediately, but secretly investigated Qi Cheng and Qi family.

The results of the survey are very satisfying.

Qi Cheng did not have contact with the Ming army, he was just a complete businessman.

Then Shang Kexi decided to start cooperation with Qicheng.

At present, the shortage of food in Hanzhong has reached an extremely urgent point. If there is no food supplement, the whole city will be out of food in three months.

The lack of food is extremely terrifying, which means that the whole city will fall into chaos and order will no longer exist.

Even the army may mutiny.

This is something Shang Kexi absolutely cannot accept.

Since Dorgon and Ajige could not give him much support, he could only think of a solution himself.

Fortunately, there is no way for heaven, and at the moment when Shang Kexi was almost desperate, God sent a Qicheng.

With the strength of the Qi family, it is not difficult to make a comeback. At least the shortage problem in Hanzhong can be solved in the short term.

As long as you have survived this winter, you will always think of other ways out.

I heard that the Regent got a crop called potatoes, which is very cold-resistant and highly productive.

Wait until the beginning of spring to see how it is.

Shang Kexi believes that the Regent will not be stingy.

After all, the geographical location of Hanzhong is really important, and it is only stuck at the throat of the Ming army's Northern Expedition.

If the Qing army wanted to ensure peace in Guanzhong, Hanzhong would not be able to make any mistakes.

Compared with Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi's contribution is not high, but Shang Kexi is no worse than Wu Sangui.

This is of course related to his garrison in Hanzhong.

Even if he is arrogant and unruly, Ajige dares not be too domineering to Shang Kexi.

After all, Shang Kexi controls Hanzhong City.

If he was annoyed and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the attack on the Qing army in Shaanxi would be devastating.

For Shang Kexi, as long as he has experienced this, he will be bright and bright, and he will have a bright future!

Zheng Chenggong finally led his troops to Denglai.

The gate of the Water City opened, and the navy warships that had returned from victory sailed into the city one by one.

Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck of the boat, allowing the sea breeze to blow across his cheeks and hair. The feeling of pleasure was really fascinating.

Finally back!

After careful calculation, he had been away from Denglai for several months, and the navy missed his hometown very much from top to bottom.

After all, the main body of the officers and soldiers of the Denglai Navy Division are all natives of the Denglai.

They miss their hometown very much for a long time.

Now they can finally return to their hometown.

Drink the water from your hometown and eat the food from your hometown.

In comparison, wealth and honor are less important.

Of course, no one can take away their credit.

Zheng Chenggong had already reported the good news to the court earlier.

As for the list of meritorious soldiers, the list has not been fully drafted.

Because he could not make a statement, he had to discuss it with Zhang Kentang, the governor of Denglai.

After all, Zhang Kentang is still his commander in name, and he is a civil servant.

As a military general, Zheng Chenggong was sent to him by his restraint.

If Zheng Chenggong made a decision alone regardless of Zhang Kentang's intentions, it would probably cause an uproar in the court and the country. The civil servant group would inevitably criticize him.

Although Zheng Chenggong is a determined person, he doesn't want to cause such a big trouble to push himself to the forefront.

After all, his father was among the rebels. Although the Lord of the Lord always kept his promise, he could not make it difficult for the Lord of the Lord to do it.

What's more, it has been an unwritten rule to share military achievements with your superiors since ancient times.

Zheng Chenggong had nothing to complain about.

Zhang Kentang treated him well, even to repay his kindness with great gratitude, Zheng Chenggong had no reason to take the credit for his credit.

On the way back, Zheng Chenggong had already thought about what he had to say after seeing Zhang Kentang several times, so after arriving at Shuicheng, he went straight to the governor's office.

Zhang Kentang learned that Zheng Chenggong had arrived at Denglai and personally welcomed him to the gate of the mansion.

This is already the greatest courtesy.

After all, Zhang Kentang is Zheng Chenggong's boss, so it is unlikely that he will be condescendingly and personally welcome him to the Water City.

It is already a great gift to Zheng Chenggong for being able to do this.

"Damu, you are finally back. Benfu misses you so much!"

Zhang Kentang warmly came forward, but Zheng Chenggong felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you for your concern to the governor, I am ashamed of you."

"Hey, what are you saying? I have seen your record in the newspaper. The rebels can't even win a battle when they meet you. It's like a mouse meeting a cat."

Zhang Kentang was very tactful and did not mention the words Zheng Zhilong or Zheng to avoid Zheng Chenggong's embarrassment.

Zheng Chenggong also said gratefully: "This is all done properly by the Lord and the Governor is planning. The last general has done some small things."

Zhang Kentang stroked his beard and smiled, "Hey, Damu, you are so humble. No one can take away your credit."

Zheng Chenggong coughed and said, "If you have anything to do with the governor, let's talk about it. It's so inconvenient here."

Zhang Kentang nodded slightly and said, "Damu's words are reasonable, let's go in and talk."

After saying that, he walked into the yamen with his hands on his back.

Zheng Chenggong followed Zhang Kentang into the yamen.

As for his relatives, they were all left outside the yamen.

This is not comparable to the military, and the Governor's yamen has the rules of the Governor's yamen.

In order not to cause trouble to their generals, they must abide by this rule.

However, after Zheng Chenggong entered the inner yamen, he said respectfully: "This time, we will make some contributions and want to ask for credit for our soldiers. The last time, we will draft a list of people who want to ask the governor to check it."

Although he said tactfully, how could Zhang Kentang not understand?

Zheng Chenggong asked him to add people to the list.

Generally speaking, when you go up to the peak, you will insert your confidant into the documents of asking for meritorious service.

However, this time Zhang Kentang was not prepared to do so.

"Ahem, Damu, didn't Benfu say that this credit was made by you and the soldiers. Benfu won't go to rob it."

"But Governor"

Zheng Chenggong was about to argue but was stopped by Zhang Kentang and said, "This matter is settled. I have another thing to discuss with you."

Zhang Kentang had such a firm attitude and Zheng Chenggong was not easy to object, so he had to hold his fist and said, "Please speak with him, Governor."

"A few days ago, the emperor sent a Qin envoy to me and asked me for my opinion on resetting Dongjiang Town. The servant did not immediately reply to Qin envoy, but wanted to ask what you think."

When Zheng Chenggong heard the three words of Dongjiang Town, he couldn't help but magnify his pupils.

Reset Dongjiang Town?
Chapter completed!
