Borrow the day to change the day

"Guo Gong, we have arrived in Guangzhou City, what should we do now?" Zheng Zhilong looked at the distant Guangzhou City, and then asked Zhong Jinwei for instructions.

Zhong Jinwei smiled, pointed to the clothes on his body, and said, "We came here in casual clothes, so naturally we didn't want to reveal our identities. Although we have arrived at the destination, I still plan to make a private visit first. Let's see how the Guangzhou Shipping Department is doing now." ? How about the legendary Sun Chuanting?"

Although Zhong Jinwei heard about Sun Chuanting's mission to Japan, he also admired his courage and wisdom.But he has never had a face-to-face communication with Sun Chuanting, so he can't grasp what Sun Chuanting is like.

Zheng Zhilong and others listened to Zhong Jinwei's words, as if this Sun Chuanting was very remarkable, they couldn't help but keep it in their hearts.

"Let's go, first go to Guangzhou City to find an inn to stay, and then go to the Shibosi to see the situation." Zhong Jinwei said a little excitedly.

Private visits in micro-services, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, which only happen in novels, happened to me, and I felt pretty good along the way.

But the more important purpose is to see the true nature of a matter through private visits on Weibo.It's like the leaders of later generations can only know what the situation below is like by making surprise inspections.

As for Gu Baichuan and others, as long as the Duke's safety is guaranteed, they don't care what the Duke is like.Anyway, they followed the Duke and obeyed the Duke's orders.

Zhong Jinwei did not enter Guangzhou City, but found a bigger inn outside the city to live in.

Guangzhou deserves to be a big city, an ancient city, and the place where the port was opened, with prosperous commerce.Even outside this city, the scale of this inn is not small.There are a lot of customers coming and going from north to south. The shopkeeper and the staff are much smarter than those in the north, and the service attitude makes customers feel much more comfortable.

As soon as they saw Zhong Jinwei and his party's fine-clothed horses, all of them had extraordinary demeanor, they knew they were high-ranking guests.

The shopkeeper came out personally and warmly entertained Zhong Jinwei and his party.

After Zhong Jinwei returned to the south, he felt a sense of familiarity with reunion after a long absence, and he was full of affection for all of this.

Seeing the shopkeeper coming out to greet him, he asked for accommodation, and then said to the shopkeeper, "I have two fellows who are probably not used to the hot and humid weather in the south and are sick. Please ask the shopkeeper to find a doctor with good medical skills. The consultation fee is not a problem."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly called Xiaoer in and asked him to call for a doctor.Then he explained to Zhong Jinwei: "Guest officer, don't worry, this Dr. Hu's medical skills are superb, and he is very good at cases where the northerners are not acclimatized to the south."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he invited Zhong Jinwei in, and at the same time comforted Zhong Jinwei: "Don't worry, guest officer, we often have northerners from Guangzhou who go south to do business, and they will get sick when they come here for the first time. So these things happen a lot. , I guarantee that the guest officer's buddy will be fine."

Zhong Jinwei nodded and said with a smile: "This is the best." Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something.

Therefore, he no longer took care of these chores, and his own guards would take care of them.

Zhong Jinwei went straight to his room, wrote down what he had thought just now, and wrote it into a memorial, which he was going to send to the capital.

It turned out that he was reminded by the shopkeeper just now, and suddenly remembered that the reorganized army is now in the north.If there is something wrong in the south and the troops are transferred from the north to the south, I am afraid that the army's biggest enemy will be the inaccuracy of the environment.

Ancient people generally did not travel very far because of traffic problems.Not to mention, from the provinces where the northern frontier army is located, to the southernmost seaside provinces.

In particular, the northern army has changed from a hot and dry environment to a hot and humid environment. It is impossible to avoid non-combat attrition.Maybe this kind of non-combat attrition is the biggest attrition.

The next strategic goal of Ming Dynasty also has an important part in the south, which is Southeast Asia.

Whether it is the cochin strategy or protecting the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, there must be an elite southern soldier stationed here.

Therefore, the best countermeasure is to reorganize the army in the south, at least to reorganize a new army with sufficient deterrence.

It's not urgent, but it needs to be done.In the memorial, Zhong Jinwei made a detailed analysis of what he thought of, and suggested that Emperor Chongzhen make decisions based on the actual situation of the court.

After finishing this matter, it was lunch time.

At this time, the two sick guards had been seen by Dr. Nahu, leaving one guard to take care of them.The others escorted Zhong Jinwei and went to the hotel lobby to eat.

Nearly thirty people, with about five tables, occupied a corner of the lobby at once.

Zhong Jinwei listened to some gossip while eating.Hope to learn something useful from these travelers.

"I heard that Zhu Shangshu is seriously ill. Is there such a thing?" There was a table of passengers who seemed to be fellow villagers. After exchanging pleasantries, they dined together and chatted while eating.

"I don't know very well, but when I came, the news was spread everywhere. I hope God bless, this is just a rumor, otherwise Daming will be messed up." Another person sighed and responded.

The first person heard the news from the fellow, as if the news was close at hand, and he was sure that Zhu Shangshu was ill.Then he lost his mind to eat, put down his chopsticks and complained to his fellow villagers: "Look, I have already bought all the goods, and I dare not go back. I'm afraid that if something happens to Zhu Shangshu, there will be chaos again."

At the table next to this table, there were a few taller passengers sitting, listening to what they were talking about, one of the men turned his head and asked: "Brother, which Zhu Shangshu are you talking about, what's going on here? ? I heard that Jianlu were all wiped out by Duke Xingguo, and now the world is at peace!"

The person who put down his chopsticks listened to the question from the next table, looked him over and said, "Are you from the north? I'm from Guizhou, and what I'm talking about is about my side. It has nothing to do with you."

Zhong Jinwei didn't hear what he wanted to hear about Guangzhou, but instead heard something about the southwest of Daming.I was slightly disappointed in my heart, but I also listened to their chat with my ears up.

Seeing the dejected look of the man from Guizhou, the traveler from the north comforted him, "It's okay, if there is any trouble, once the new imperial army arrives, it will be settled."

The man in Guizhou doesn't care much about the north, so he doesn't know.Hearing what the man from the north said, he smiled to express his gratitude, and then shook his head and said: "The water in the distance can't quench the thirst! Now the southwestern part of the Ming Dynasty depends on Zhu Shangshu to control the chieftains. share."

The northerner also didn't know much about the affairs in the southwestern part of Ming Dynasty. After he asked about the situation and explained the situation to the Guizhou native, he stopped interrupting and ate by himself.

But Zhong Jinwei listened on the sidelines and was very concerned.Seeing that they were not discussing any more, he put down his chopsticks and interrupted.
