Chapter 13 Attending the Meeting Part 2 People's minds are always changing, and Zhu Chongjiu himself is the best proof.
Thinking back to the beginning, his only wish was to survive in troubled times, and then find an opportunity to hug Zhu Chongba's thick legs.
In the second year, it became clear that even Zhu Chongba was not afraid of competing in the same field, winning or losing by a single point.
But now, he is directly facing the unpredictable will of God.
No matter how many golden fingers God gives to others, he must work hard to laugh to the end without fear.
In other words, the person he is now is no longer the Zhu Bayi who just merged two souls.
He was ignorant and took one step at a time.
His life goals are now very clear, and he is full of confidence in himself and the future.
This kind of confidence didn’t suddenly fall from the sky, nor did it come from being drunk and daydreaming while lying on the grass.
Rather, it was built up unknowingly through hard-fought victories over the past two years.
And it is backed by more than 100,000 Huai'an new troops who have gradually been sharpened, as well as the prototypes of industrialization in Yangzhou, Gaoyou, and Huai'an.
For the civil and military personnel around Zhu Chongjiu, these changes in their lord were very subtle and even difficult to detect.
But for Chang Sanshi, an outsider who had not seen Zhu Chongjiu a few times a year, it was a real transformation.
"If only I had paid more attention when looking for Boren."
The more he looked at Zhu Chongjiu with admiration, the more Chang Sanshi regretted that his junior Chang Yuchun Mingzhu secretly cast his shadow.
Otherwise, with his ability, his future achievements will not be inferior to Xu Da and Hu Dahai.
And if the two Zhus turn against each other in the future, how can Zhu Chongba, who started a full year late, be Chongjiu's?
I'm afraid the best outcome for your opponent is that all his troops are wiped out and then disappear.
At that time, as Zhu Chongba's confidant and favorite general, how could Chang Yuchun be immune to himself?
Although Zhu Chongjiu happily promised not to harm this person today, and based on Zhu Chongjiu's past experience, he did not commit any evil deeds of killing prisoners.
First.
But Gang Leader Chang's own family knew about his family affairs, and his nephew Chang Yuchun was as upright as a sword.
If he really suffered a defeat, he would rather die on the battlefield than lay down his weapons and become the opponent's prisoner.
Thinking of this, he smiled unnaturally, cupped his hands and said, "My junior is so unlucky that he happened to miss the opportunity to serve the General Manager.
Every time the gang leaders and elders of my boat gang mentioned this, they were very upset.
Sorry.
So" Taking a deep breath, he looked into Zhu Chongjiu's eyes and quickly added, "So before coming south this time, my gang leader and several elders entrusted Chang to bring a message to the chief manager.
If there is still a shortage of sailors in the account, they wanted to Send your nephew here and let him be driven around."
This was an obvious desire to invest more, and Zhu Chongjiu certainly had no reason to refuse.
So he smiled and nodded lightly, "What are you talking about, Gang Leader Chang?
Your boat gang members are all very capable on the water.
They are willing to come and work for Zhu.
Zhu wants nothing more.
How can it be too much?"
"Then Chang will thank the chief manager for everyone first."
Chang Sanshi saluted Zhu Chongjiu again, and then quickly added, "After returning, Chang will send them over.
There will also be five hundred boatmen coming with them.
They all have built large cannons before.
Although they don’t know how to build warships, they should be better than ordinary carpenters if they learn from scratch.”
"Thank you to the gang leaders Gao Yi for your kindness today.
Zhu will never forget it."
Zhu Chongjiu heard this and immediately bowed to Chang Sanshi.
Someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy, so he couldn't help but feel unhappy.
According to his inner plan, after successfully stabilizing the territory that originally belonged to Zhima Li and Zhao Junyong, the next move of the Huaiyang General Manager's Office is to get involved in maritime trade and open up gold from Jiaozhou Bay to Japan and Southeast Asia. route.
The process of achieving this goal must be full of blood.

Not only is it difficult to get the full support of Fang Guozhen and Shen Wansan.
As far away as Quanzhou, the Pu family, which once owed a large blood debt to China, would definitely not be willing to have a sharer appear on the sea.
Therefore, while conducting sea trade, a fleet that can fight in the sea must always accompany it.
Shipbuilding craftsmen and ship-operating masters are two important conditions for building a fleet and are absolutely indispensable.
"The General Manager is too polite.
I hope the General Manager will not think that the disciples of the Boat Gang are dull."
Chang Sanshi straightened up and laughed.
After laughing, he seriously introduced to Zhu Chongjiu the various developments in Mengyuan in recent times based on what he knew.
Compared with the Military Intelligence Department, which is gradually getting on track, the quality of the information obtained by the Ship Gang is obviously far behind.
But after all, the Boat Gang has existed on the canal for many years, with big trees and deep roots, and many news channels.
Therefore, in terms of the breadth of intelligence involved, it is much stronger than that of the Military Intelligence Department.
While Zhu Chongjiu listened, he compared it with the content provided by the Military Intelligence Office, which made up for many previous omissions.
Time flew by so fast in the busyness, almost in the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the next day, which was the ninth day after Zhu Chongjiu and others left Yangzhou to go north.
Tuotuo's confidant Gong Bosui came to write in person, asking Manager Zhu to wait for the next day tomorrow. , meet on the water of the Yellow River due north of Xuzhou City.
"You can just go back and tell Tuo Tuo that Zhu will attend the meeting on time tomorrow morning."
Zhu Chongjiu was already prepared in his heart.
He scanned Tuo Tuo's autographed letter and gave instructions calmly.
Before Gong Bosui came, he had imagined various possibilities and even hid poison in his pocket.
He was prepared to take poison and commit suicide decisively in case he was detained by Butcher Zhu, in order to be a loyal minister.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chongjiu did not make things difficult for him at all, and was not even interested in looking at him for a second time.
How could he not feel disappointed?
Immediately, he raised his hand towards Zhu Chongjiu again and reminded proudly, "I am here to discuss the matter under the Prime Minister Tuotuo's tent.
Gong Bosui , I am here to submit a letter on the order of the Prime Minister, and I also ask the General Manager to reply with a personal letter.
On the one hand, after Gong returns, I can have a proof of explanation to the Prime Minister, and on the other hand, this matter will not be spread out in the future.
People feel that the general manager is being disrespectful and has ruined his reputation for no reason.”
"Oh, isn't it just a meeting?
Why do you need so much trouble?"
Zhu Chongjiu frowned and picked up a dip pen specially developed by the Master Craftsman Institute.
It doesn’t matter if you come all the way from Yangzhou to Xuzhou to hang out, since you said so, I will leave you a paper certificate.”
After saying that, still not looking at Gong Bosui's face, he turned over Tuotuo's autographed letter and quickly wrote four big words on the back of the letter, "See you or see you."
Note: Kavin, so I will update here first today.
I originally planned to write about an interesting meeting process, but the story structure has been stuck in my mind for several days, but I just couldn't put it on the keyboard
