Hanzhong.
Shang Kexi has been in a good mood recently.
Qicheng, a large grain merchant in Sichuan, took the initiative to contact him and expressed his willingness to sell grain to the Qing army in Hanzhong.
The condition is that it is five times the market price.
Of course he wouldn't hesitate if the conditions were favorable.
To be honest, he wouldn't even frown if the market price was more than ten times higher.
However, he did not immediately agree to Qi Cheng, but first secretly investigated Qi Cheng and the Qi family.
The results of the investigation are very satisfactory.
Qicheng had no contact with the Ming army.
He was a businessman through and through.
Then Shang Kexi decided to cooperate with Qicheng.
At present, the food shortage in Hanzhong has reached an extremely urgent level.
If there is no food replenishment, the whole city will be out of food in less than three months.
A lack of food is extremely terrifying, which means that the whole city will fall into chaos and order will no longer exist.
Even the military could mutiny.
This is something Shang Kexi absolutely cannot accept.
Since Dorgon and Azig couldn't give him much support, he could only find a way on his own.
Fortunately, there is always a way, and God sent a Qi city at a moment when Shang Kexi was almost desperate.
With the strength of the Qi family, it is not difficult at all to turn one's hands into clouds and rain.
At least the food shortage problem in Hanzhong can be solved in the short term.
As long as you survive this winter, you can always think of other ways out.
I heard that the regent had obtained a crop called potatoes, which was very cold-resistant and high-yielding.
Wait until spring to sow it and see how it goes.
Shang Kexi believes that the regent will not be stingy.
After all, the geographical location of Hanzhong is too important, and it is only stuck at the throat of the Ming Army's Northern Expedition.
If the Qing army wanted to maintain peace in Guanzhong, there would be no room for loss in Hanzhong.
Compared with Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi's merits are not high, but now Shang Kexi's performance is no worse than Wu Sangui.
This is of course related to his garrison in Hanzhong.
Even a domineering and unruly man like Azige would not dare to boss around Shang Kexi too much.
After all, Shang Kexi controls Hanzhong City.
If he was angered and dedicated the city to the Ming Dynasty, the blow to the Qing army in Shaanxi would be devastating.
For Shang Kexi, as long as he survives this experience, there will be a bright future and a bright future.
Zheng Chenggong finally led his troops to Denglai.
The gates of Shuicheng opened, and the naval warships returning from victory sailed into the city one after another.
Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck of the ship, letting the sea breeze blow through his cheeks and hair.
The refreshing feeling was really intoxicating.
Finally back Calculating carefully, it has been several months since he left Denglai.
The navy misses its homeland very much from top to bottom.
After all, the majority of the officers and soldiers of the Denglai Navy are natives of Denglai.
Living abroad for a long time made them miss their hometown very much.
Now they are finally able to return to their hometown.
Drink the water of your hometown and eat the food of your hometown.
In comparison, glory and wealth seem to be less important.
Of course, no one can take away the credit that belongs to them.
Zheng Chenggong had already reported the good news to the court earlier.

As for the list of meritorious soldiers, it has not yet been completely drawn up.
Because he couldn't make a final decision, he had to discuss it with Zhang Kentang, the governor of Denglai.
After all, Zhang Kentang was still his commander-in-chief in name and a civilian official.
As a military general, Zheng Chenggong was still under his control.
If Zheng Chenggong ignores Kentang Chang's wishes and makes his own decision, it may cause an uproar in both the government and the public.
The civil service group is bound to criticize him verbally and writingly.
Although Zheng Chenggong is a determined person, he does not want to cause such a big trouble and push himself to the forefront.
After all, his father was among the rebels.
Although the Holy One had always tried to protect him, he could not make it difficult for the Holy One.
What's more, it has been an unwritten rule since ancient times to share military achievements with superiors.
Zheng Chenggong has nothing to complain about.
Zhang Kentang treated him well, just to repay his kindness.
Zheng Chenggong had no reason to take all the credit.
On the way back, Zheng Chenggong had already thought about what he was going to say after meeting Zhang Kentang several times, so after arriving in Shuicheng, he went straight to the governor's office.
Zhang Kentang learned that Zheng Chenggong had arrived in Denglai and personally greeted him at the door of the house.
This is already the greatest courtesy.
After all, Zhang Kentang is Zheng Chenggong's boss, and it is unlikely that he would deign to condescend to come to Shuicheng to greet him in person.
Kentang Zhang's ability to achieve this step is already a great honor to Zheng Chenggong.
"Omu, you are finally back.
I miss you so much."
Kentang Zhang greeted him enthusiastically, but Zheng Chenggong felt a little embarrassed.
"Thank you very much, Governor, for your concern.
I will be ashamed of myself."
"Hey, what are you talking about?
I've seen your record in the newspaper.
The rebels can't even win a battle against you.
It's like a mouse meeting a cat."
Kentang Zhang was very wise and did not mention Zheng Zhilong or Zheng's name to avoid Zheng Chenggong's embarrassment.
Zheng Chenggong also said with great gratitude: "This is all done by the Holy Emperor and the governor's strategizing.
The general just did some small things."
Kentang Zhang gently stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Hey, Damu, you are good at everything but you are too humble.
No one can take away your credit."
Zheng Chenggong coughed and said, "If the governor has anything to do, let's go in and talk to him.
It's very inconvenient to be here."
Zhang Kentang nodded slightly and said, "What Damu said makes sense, let's go in and talk."
After saying that, he walked into the Yamen first with his hands behind his back.
Zheng Chenggong followed Zhang Kentang into the Yamen.
As for his personal followers, they all stayed outside the Yamen.
This place is no different from the military, where the governor's office has its own rules.
They must abide by this rule in order not to cause trouble to their generals.
But after Zheng Chenggong followed Zhang Kentang into the inner office, he said respectfully: "I have made some achievements this time, and I also want to ask for credit for my soldiers.
I drafted a list and asked the governor to check it." ” Although his words were euphemistic, Kent Chang couldn't understand him.
Zheng Chenggong asked him to add people to the list.
Generally speaking, Shangfeng will put his confidants in the petition documents for meritorious service.
But this time Kentang Zhang was not prepared to do so.

"Ahem, Omu, didn't I say it before?
This credit is made by you and the soldiers.
I won't take it away."
"But the governor" Zheng Chenggong was about to argue but Zhang Kentang pushed his hand to stop him: "This matter is settled.
I have one more thing to discuss with you."
Zhang Kentang's attitude was so firm that Zheng Chenggong couldn't object, so he could only clasp his fists and say: "Please speak, Mr.
Governor."
"The Holy Emperor sent an envoy to me a few days ago to ask for my opinion on reestablishing Dongjiang Town.
I did not immediately reply to the envoy, but I just wanted to ask what you think."
Zheng Chenggong's pupils couldn't help but dilate when he heard the words Dongjiang Town.
Reset Dongjiang Town The thoughts of the Holy Emperor are really unpredictable
