Chapter 303 Achievement, Jiangdong 2

In Guangling City, the prefect of the county, Chen Deng, had 30,000 troops, peeping into the south of the Yangtze River and blocking Shouchun in the west. No forces dared to attack Guangling, so that Chutian had no worries.

Chen Dengzheng was planning to lead his troops north to support the country of Xiapi. He heard that the troops and horses in the north had won a great victory, so he recuperated and appeased the people.

"Lord Prefect, Zhang Zigang asks to see you."

"Hurry up and invite him in to see me. I'm about to recommend him to the state."

Chen Deng heard about Zhang Zigang's reputation, so he ordered his servants to invite Zhang Zigang to the county office.

Zhang Zigang, also known as Zhang Hong, and Zhang Zhao, also known as "Er Zhang", was one of the core interior ministers of Soochow Wu.

Zhang Hong, who was in his thirties, met Chen Deng. They both came from aristocratic families and cherished each other.

Xuzhou implemented the imperial examination system, but in the turbulent times, Chu Tian was the only one who chose talents recommended by various aristocratic families and did not avoid suspicion. The quality of aristocratic disciples was much higher than that of commoner disciples in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"I heard that Xuzhou Mu issued an order to seek talents. I originally intended to go to Xuzhou Mu, but it was obstructed by the former Guangling Prefect at the time, so I couldn't set off for Xiacheng. I don't know if going to Xuzhou Mu now, can it still be activated?"

Zhang Hong was originally quite famous, but for Xuzhou Mu, who was in the limelight and had a lot of talents under his command, he was not necessarily an indispensable existence. Therefore, Zhang Hong was not proud of this, but rather humble.

"My lord has always emphasized meritocracy. With Zigang's talents, you can easily give up your belongings. The lord should return to Xiacheng, and I will send a few servants to Xiacheng with you."

"There is Lao Yuanlong."

At this time, Chutian returned to Xiacheng and used the Yihe Marine Division to transport the legions in Pengcheng and Xiapi back to Langya to put pressure on Qingzhou.

As for Cao Cao, he was still restrained by Zhou Yafu, Xu Rong, and Pang Juan, and it was difficult to expand.

Chutian is considering attacking Qingzhou Beihai Kingdom. Qingzhou Beihai Kingdom is just north of Langya Kingdom. If Beihai Kingdom is not taken down, Langya Kingdom will always have a dagger hanging over its head.

"The North Sea Kingdom and Dongnae County will be captured, and the north will be the sea. At present, there is no need to worry about the threat from the sea. Goryeo Kingdom and Dongying Kingdom have no ability to cross the sea to carry out crusade."

Considering the safety of Langya Kingdom, Chu Tian could only attack Young Master Zhao.

The sea is the best protection for territory.

The sea is safe as long as the conquest between civilizations has not begun.

"Order Zheng Zhilong to go to Quxian County in the East China Sea, command the Fubo Army with Xu Sheng, and participate in the preparations for the crusade against Qingzhou."

Chutian kept the big pirate Zheng Zhilong by his side for a period of time, and after seeing his loyalty increased, he sent Zheng Zhilong to Guoqu County in the East China Sea to join the Fubo Army.

The Fubo Legion had a total of 30,000 sailors and sailors, and 500 ships of all kinds.

"My lord, Zhang Zigang from Guangling asks to see you."

Chutian was preparing to send Fubo Corps to attack Donglai County through the waterway, and officials came to report.

Zhang Zigang, from Guangling...

"Could it be Zhang Hong?"

"Exactly."

Chutian almost emptied the property of Soochow.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, and Xu Shengquan of the Soochow forces were attracted by him, so it was difficult for the Soochow forces to improve.

Cao Cao's forces were being suppressed by Chutian, and Liu Bei's Zhao Yun and military advisor Zhuge Liang were also acquired by Chutian.

The foundation of the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been destroyed in half.

Zhang Hong came in and was surprised when he saw the young Xuzhou Mu.

Compared with his status, Chutian's age is indeed a little young.

Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao were about the same age. If they could be recruited, Chutian would have no shortage of civil servants to govern Xuzhou.

The area of ​​Xuzhou is rich in civil servants. Langya has Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yu and others; Donghai has Wang Lang and Mi Zhu; Xiapi has Chen Gui, Chen Deng and Lu Su; Pengcheng has Zhang Zhao; need.

Not to mention Chu Tian and Li Kui, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, all of whom were ministers at the prime minister level.

"Chen Yuanlong, the prefect of Guangling, recommends it..."

"Zigang is a great talent, no matter who recommends it, it can be reused."

Before Zhang Hong elaborated on his origins, Chu Tian had already decided to reuse him and couldn't help but feel moved.

Chu Tian seemed to value him very much.

"Lord State Shepherd is overrated. If Master State Shepherd doesn't dislike it, Zhang Hong is willing to serve Master State Shepherd and appease the people on one side."

No need for Chu Tian to deliberately recruit, Zhang Hong took the initiative to come to seek refuge.

When Chutian issued the decree of seeking talents, Zhang Hong was ready to join Chutian, but was blocked by the original lord of Guangling County. After Chutian occupied Guangling County, Zhang Hong secretly observed Chutian's actions, and found that Chutian still reused the disciples of the aristocratic family.

The situation in the world is not yet clear, and all the aristocratic families are watching. Among all the princes, Chutian is one of the leading princes. Zhang Hong observed the surrounding princes, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is not yet clear, Yuan Shu is a dead bone in the grave, and it is difficult to achieve a major event. Only Xuzhou Mu Chuzimou has the value of assisting .

Not only Zhang Hong, but in the eyes of other aristocratic families at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chu Tian was also one of the first-choice lords to take refuge in.

If it is not for the talents that the various princes keep in their territories, more talents will come in an endless stream.

"Ding! Wang-level civil servant Zhang Hong is loyal to you."

"Ding! Achievement system - A-level achievement 'Jiangdong 2 Zhang' is completed. You will get the blueprint for the construction of a sixth-level building ship, and heroes Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong will get the fetter feature 'Jiangdong 2 Zhang'."

After Zhang Hong took refuge, Chu Tian unexpectedly accomplished an achievement.

There is also a bond between Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, similar to the close cooperation between Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Chutian has now completed three fetters achievements, "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu", "Fang Mou Du Duan", "Jiangdong Two Zhang".

"Zigang might as well serve as the chief historian under the command of the Prime Minister of Langya. I value the Langya country as the core area. Although it is not a state shepherd, the position of the long history of the Langya country is actually important."

In order to share the pressure of Xia Xia Liang, Chu Tian decided to temporarily appoint Zhang Hong as the Chief History of Langya State to assist the Prime Minister of Langya in governing government affairs.

While waiting for Zhang Hong's response, Chu Tian secretly checked Zhang Hong's panel properties to make better arrangements.

[Special characteristics]: Jiangdong two Zhang (when Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are in the same faction, political +1, administrative efficiency is improved)

Another stubborn minister...

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were under Chu Tian's command, and this feature was of no use, because Chu Tian was now alive and well. Especially after Hua Tuo taught the "Five Animals Opera", Chu Tian's mental state has obviously improved a lot, and the most obvious ones are Xia Liang and Hua Mulan...

Because of the achievement of "Jiangdong Second Zhang", the political attributes of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong can be temporarily increased. Zhang Zhao's political cap is 97, while Zhang Hong's political cap is 95.

Compared with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they are more in the role of joining the army, while the pair of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are completely the role of the Minister of the Interior.

Arrange for Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong to go to war. Their opinions on military affairs are also lackluster, so it is better to stay at home and appease the people.

Zhang Hong's ability is obviously to increase the cultural prosperity of the territory.

The cultural prosperity of Xiacheng is already very high. There are Han Yuefu, Confucius Temple, Lefang, Du Fu Thatched Cottage and other buildings, and Diao Chan, Cai Wenji, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Du Fu and others have joined, and the culture is extremely prosperous.

Recently, Lu Zhi also recommended Zheng Xuan, his fellow apprentice brother, to him. Chu Tian saw that he had no intention of becoming an official, so he stayed in Du Fu's Thatched Cottage and was enshrined in the lord's mansion, so that he could study the classics with peace of mind.

"Lord Lord, the East Sea Kingdom Organization's fleet to go to East Hirado City for trade is about to go out to sea. This is the first time we have traded with overseas. This time, the Lord's Mansion is also involved, and it is estimated that we can make tens of thousands of taels of silver from it..."

Xia Xia Liang came to report on the trade with the city lord of Hirato, and saw that Chu Tian was talking with a civil minister who had never met, and knew that it was another civil minister who was recruited by Chu Tian.

Recently, there are many talented people who come to Chutian, among which Lu Su and Zhang Hong are the representatives. In addition to Lu Su and Zhang Hong, there are other disciples of other aristocratic families. Maybe they are not as famous as Lu Su and Zhang Hong.

"You came just in time. Zigang, this is Langya Xiang."

"Langya Xiang is actually a woman..."

Zhang Hong couldn't help but be moved.

Xia Xia Liang smiled and said, "Now that the world is in chaos, Xuzhou Mu Wei is the best choice. Regardless of gender, why is Zigang surprised?"

"Forgive the rudeness."

At this time, Zhang Hong, who had just taken up the post of the chief history of Langya Kingdom, understood that Xia Xia Liang had become his boss, and he had to integrate into the power of Xuzhou animal husbandry and adapt to Xuzhou culture.

Even people from aristocratic families have to make certain compromises in troubled times.

In particular, Chutian held the military and political power in Xuzhou, and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses obeyed his orders, so there was no need to give the local family much face.

If there were no talents from other dynasties, Chutian might have to be humble to the local family, and if there were talents from other dynasties in control of the army, the local family would not dare to be aggressive.

When Chutian heard that the first batch of ships going to Dongying trade was about to set off, he nodded in approval. For overseas trade, Chutian attaches great importance to it.

In order to recruit troops and buy horses, no amount of money is too much. There are ways to obtain gold and silver, Chutian has tried.

Zhang Hong asked, "Dongying, could it be the Japanese country?"

"It is the Japanese country. This time, the merchant ships sent to Hirado City in the Japanese country are not only for trade, but also the first time to use the teleportation array to shorten the voyage and find a sea route to Hirado City."

Xia Xia Liang supported Chutian to peep into Dongying.

Trade is often accompanied by war.

In the long history, countless wars broke out on the land Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road.

Behind the merchant ships, often followed by warships.

"There are few people in the Japanese country, and the barbarians are in a land of barbarians. Why do they want to trade with the Japanese country?"

"Zigang did not know that the population of the Japanese country is one-tenth of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to one or two large states. There is also the Iwami silver mine, which produces a lot of silver every year. Therefore, if you can sell special products to them, you can buy from the Japanese country every year. Get 10,000 taels of gold and silver, or even 100,000 taels, to fill up military funds."

Chu Tian patiently explained to Zhang Hong, one of the important ministers.

The quality of the civil servants in the Eastern Han Dynasty was good, but it was a pity that they didn't know much about the world outside the sea and didn't pay much attention to it.

Perhaps this is the reason why Chutian used some players to fill the vacancies of officials in various places.

The player's desire for expansion is far stronger than that of the local nobility in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The nobility can relocate in peace, as long as the interests of their own family are guaranteed.

After hearing this, Zhang Hong was thoughtful.

"This is the construction drawing of the sixth-level building boat. You can send someone to Quxian to see if there are qualified boatmen. If there is a boatmaker who can build a building boat, there will be a lot of rewards. It seems that building boats are only suitable for inland rivers and offshore seas. use……"

Chu Tian took out a blueprint of a building ship in his arms and handed it to Xia Xian Liang.

This is an additional architectural blueprint obtained by completing the achievement "Two Pieces of Jiangdong".

"Yes."

Xia Liang took over the drawings and went down to make arrangements.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong, under the order of Chutian, went to Quxian County in the East China Sea without stopping, joined with Xu Sheng, and prepared to lead the Fubo Army to attack Qingzhou by water.

"Zigang, go with Miss Xia to get acquainted with Langya's affairs."

Chutian intends to cultivate Zhang Hong.

At present, the people who are most familiar with Langya's internal affairs are Chu Tian, ​​Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, and Xia Xia Liang. Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling often go abroad. Li Kui is currently serving as the Prime Minister of Xiapi in the country of Xiapi. Maybe there is a possibility of pregnancy, and someone will always take over the internal affairs of Langya Kingdom.

In Guoqu County, East China Sea, the Fubo Army has begun to take shape.

When Chutian suppressed the princes in the four directions, Xu Sheng never appeared, because he recruited navy soldiers and sailors with all his strength in Guoqu County, East China Sea, and urged the shipyard to produce 400-material sea-going ships, fighting ships, 艨艟, walking ke and other ships, and organized Fubo Army.

Xu Sheng from Soochow cooperated for the first time with Zheng Zhilong, the ship king of the late Ming Dynasty.

Young Master Zhao of Qingzhou was incapable of developing navy masters, and his power developed too late. In the face of the Fubo Army in Xuzhou, the coastal areas of Qingzhou are useless.

"The lord wants us to attack Donglai County, forcing Zhao Gongzi to divide his troops."

Xu Sheng received the first task after the Fubo Army was set up.

For the Fubo Army's expedition this time, Chutian appointed Xu Sheng, who was more senior, as the main general, and Zheng Zhilong, who had not yet made many military exploits, as the deputy general.

At the wharf in Qu County, dozens of large merchant ships were preparing to go to the city of Hirado in the east for trade. Mi Zhu, who was good at doing business, was sent by Chutian to preside over the matter.

Mi Zhu was only unfamiliar with Dongying, but he had the talent and talent for doing business. Once he was familiar with the local situation, he could easily get along with the famous names and businessmen of Dongying.
