Chapter 54 Appeasing Liu Guoxuan

"Report! Great victory at Zhugang! Great victory for the Guards!"

"Behead three thousand and two Tatars in formation! Capture two thousand and two Tatars!"

The little newsboy was carrying a large bag of newspapers and shouting on the street of Dongningfu!

Su Laocheng happened to be on his way to work at the steelmaking plant. When he heard the news, he immediately waved to the newsboy to indicate that there was business here.

"Little brother, bring me a newspaper!" Old Su happily took out two cents and handed it to the newsboy.

“Thanks for your patronage!”

After Su Laocheng attended Zheng Kezang's literacy class, he had become proficient in writing. He could not understand unless it was an uncommon word.

He read word for word. In the news, he saw the bravery of the Guards, the invincibility of grenades, and Zheng Kezang's wise command.

"I knew that the Jianguo would be able to defeat the Tatars all over the place, but it's a pity that they are just two Tatars! If only they were fighting the Eight Banners." Su Laocheng murmured to himself.

"My father is right. In addition to recording merits, those brothers who died in the battle must also be well compensated." Zheng Kezang said solemnly.

On the contrary, he was more pleased that his eldest son, whom he admired the most, had grown up and was talented. He would definitely be able to do better than himself in this position!

There may be countless big wins in the future, but this first one is often the most memorable.

At first, he didn't quite believe the battle report he heard from Dongning Daily, because he believed that his old rival Wan Zhengse could not be so useless and be beaten so badly by a young boy.

After saying that, she stared at his face and said, "I'm tanned a lot, but I'm more manly. Not bad."

Zheng Kezang was also very happy to see Zheng Jing. He smiled and said, "My father came to pick me up in person. It's such an honor!"

"One hundred people were killed in the Guards Army, and more than 200 people were killed in the Yongwei Town." Zheng Kezang sighed.

The army finally docked, and after more than half a month, Zheng Kezang returned.

Boat after boat of soldiers disembarked in an orderly manner. The strict discipline was an eye-opener for Zheng Jing. He did not catch up with Zheng Kezang's military parade, but today he got a glimpse of it and found that the Guards were indeed terrifying.

The good thing is that there are many more people and civilians, but the bad thing is that there is not enough food.

"Uncle Wu Ping, this good news is related to you." Zheng Kezang said with a smile.

"Qinshe, the Guards and the Yongwei Town have done a good job, they must be rewarded well, and the hearts of those who have made meritorious deeds must not be chilled," Zheng Jing said.

"You have done a great job. Wrapping one's body in horse leather is inevitable on the battlefield." Zheng Jing consoled him.

"Everyone, work hard and use higher output to celebrate our great Highness the Supervisor!" Su Laocheng said to everyone.

Because many of the Fujian Green Camp defected from the Ming and Zheng armies, and now they are captured again, it is really unpredictable.

"Father, I avenged your great revenge. I beat the shit out of that Wanlao dog. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been captured alive to vent his anger on my father." Zheng Kezang said happily.

After returning to the factory, the workers saw that he was very happy and asked him if he had done anything good and if he had renewed his relationship.

Chen Yonghua did not interrupt the harmonious scene between father and son, but turned to observe Zheng Kezang's returning fleet.

But today he believed it, because there were two thousand prisoners from Fujian Green Camp who came off the ship, all of them had "money rat tails" and very ugly hairstyles.

"How many people died in this battle?"

The two chatted endlessly about the war at that time and had a very happy chat.

He told everyone with a smile: Jian Guo was victorious!

Zheng Kezang was very kind to the workers, and these workers also reciprocated their kindness. They were very happy to hear his good news.

Why do you say that?

Zheng Jing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Father and son, we are not ashamed to say this."

The person in charge of logistics is really worried.

"Qinshe, how many people did you bring back this time?" Chen Yonghua asked.

Many of these prisoners are old faces.

Zheng Jing and Chen Yonghua had already received the news and came to the dock with civil and military officials to greet Zheng Kezang.

"Hahaha, my son is better than his master. Please tell me how to defeat Wan Lao Dog." Zheng Jing looked slightly sick, but he could not hide the joy on his face.

He was not worried that his son would have the idea of ​​usurping the throne after taking control of the military, because he could no longer bear the burden of the position of King Yanping, otherwise he would not have Zheng Kezang supervising the country all the time.

Also coming with Zheng Jing and the others was General Liu Guoxuan, who had mixed feelings among the crowd. Not long ago, when he came back in disgrace, the crown prince Zheng Kezang beat Wan Zhengse to a pulp.

He carefully put the newspaper away. He knew that this newspaper was valuable for collection because it was the first victory of the Supervisory State.

The so-called money rat tail is to shave off all the hair around the head, leaving only a small handful in the middle, which can just pass through a copper coin. Because this kind of braid is only as thin as a mouse's tail and can pass through a copper coin.

That’s why it’s called the Money Rat Tail.

Zheng Cong and other scoundrels have a good reputation and are a prey to the common people. Thanks to Zheng Kezang's impartial enforcement of the law, these people have restrained themselves. Otherwise, the common people would have suffered.

With his vigorous publicity, the news of the Zhugang victory spread throughout the factory, and the entire factory area was excited.

He found that many people were brought back this time, which was both a good thing and a bad thing for Dongning Mansion.

"It seems to be a good thing. Please tell me, Supervisor!"

"Your Highness Jianguo, it's great news that you defeated Wan Zhengse!" Liu Guoxuan didn't know what kind of medicine Zheng Kezang was selling in his gourd, so he chose to flatter him.

"Let's celebrate today with or without extra food!" a young worker joked.

"I heard that you won the battle. Tell your father what happened."

"There happens to be a large area of ​​land to the north of Dongning Mansion that has not yet been cultivated, so let's arrange for them to farm there." Chen Yonghua quickly made arrangements.

"Add it! It must be added! How can you skip the meal when there is a big happy event? Don't worry!" After saying that, Su Laocheng also returned to his post.

"Uncle Wu Ping, you are here too. I just have some good news to tell you." Zheng Kezang also saw Liu Guoxuan.

"Uncle Wu Ping has been looking sad lately. Is he thinking about how to fill up the left and right Wuwei Town? I have brought you soldiers!"

Looking back at the people with their families, Zheng Kezang replied: "Father-in-law, there are more than 10,000 people in total. Those who voluntarily followed us are all ordinary people of Tongshan City. Father-in-law, please arrange for their farming."

He used to be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty and Zheng, and he was considered a leader among the civilians in Dongning Prefecture. Now that he is captured, it will be miserable. He will probably be used as a coolie by Zheng Kezang.

What they fear most is that Jianguo will lose the war and be unable to come back, and their factory will be taken away by other members of the Zheng family.

"But these two thousand prisoners?" Liu Guoxuan asked. He just wanted to ask Zheng Kezang for these two thousand prisoners, so he just wanted to ask for them.

"Why are these crooked melons and cracked dates? I have made an agreement with General Zhu Tiangui to give you two thousand men in his army." Zheng Kezang said generously. He had already made an agreement with Zhu Tiangui on the ship that this could be done.

"Your Highness Jianguo, you have really solved my big problem." Liu Guoxuan became happy. Zheng Kezang was really good to him. Zhu Tiangui's subordinates were much better than these prisoners.

"Hahaha, it's a small thing!"
Chapter completed!
