Chapter 134

If it was a few years ago, the Liu family married the Zheng family. The Zheng family climbed high, but after they entered the Suozhen Dynasty, the Zheng family wantonly expanded their forces and developed rapidly, very rapidly. They had a tendency to get out of control and become the dominant party. It was only a few years.

Now, in all aspects, the Zheng family's power is bigger than the Liu family. It really can't be regarded as climbing high. This is one of the reasons why Zheng Zhibao dares to show off now. If he climbed high branches in the past, he really dare not say tough words, but now the Zheng family's power is more huge, and he has a lot of confidence to speak.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong is in charge of the Zheng family now. Zheng Zhibao is just the second leader, but this second leader has great power. Basically, Zheng Zhilong is absent. He is the master of the Zheng family. He can also command the characters in shibazhi.

Zheng Zhibao's relationship with the Liu family is also very good. He has had an iron fist friendship for more than 20 years. In the past ten years, he also knows one thing very well, that is, the Liu family is rich and has no power. Liu Yuanqiao has always been very low-key and tolerant, and has not developed the military strength belonging to their family.

Unlike the Zheng family, they are desperate to develop their naval strength. Now their maritime strength has reached the point of confrontation with the Dutch.

Because the Zheng brothers also understand the same thing very well. They are recruited by force. In the end, they may also gain a foothold by force. If they have no soldiers, it is estimated that the officials may die after the recruitment.

Therefore, if someone else recruits, they will generally give up their military power and be a rich Tian she Weng at ease. Only their Zheng family not only did not weaken their military force, but further expanded. Of course, they expanded their strength at sea and did not develop on land, so they did not attract so many taboos from the government.

Zheng Zhibao and Liu Yuanqiao are friends of life and death. Naturally, he knows that the Liu family is having a hard time. In fact, the rich and powerless Liu family is a piece of fat meat in the eyes of many people. He has long advised his brother Liu Yuanqiao to start developing military force. With his own military force, he will be afraid of anyone in the future. Even the emperor must speak politely to them.

When he saw Liu Yuanqiao, he was always a little unable to let go of his ancestral industry and his hands and feet. On the contrary, his son-in-law didn't care much about his ancestral industry. He could rest assured that he had a very open look. Zheng Zhibao was still a little relieved.

Since Liu Bu made his request openly, and his daughter didn't object much, as his father-in-law, he certainly wouldn't object. He agreed to Liu Bu's request on the spot and was willing to send a fleet to transport grain and cloth for their Liu family.

It is worth mentioning that since his daughter became an adult, he has stayed with them to help since the age of 16. He is one of his important assistants.

Liu Bu saw that he finally got the support of his father-in-law. The support of Zheng Zhibao is very important, which means that they can transport a large number of grain and cloth here by sea, and then transport them to Jimo for disaster relief, so they don't have to bypass Laizhou Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture.

Liu Bu is sure that if they transport grain and cloth here on a large scale, it is estimated that they will be intercepted by the local government in Jinan and Laizhou Prefecture, because there is a shortage of these things. If they transport in small batches, they will turn a blind eye and transport in large quantities.

This is Qingdao. Sea transportation is very developed, but it has not been developed and utilized yet. Now they plan to open several large docks here, and then they can load and unload a large number of goods from here, and then transport them to the place where they need disaster relief.

As a native of Shandong, Liu Bu naturally knows that behind Shandong and even the capital city, there are four war zones, which can not be used as a development base at all. However, with the development of the situation, he feels that everything is possible. If he wants to occupy Dengzhou or Laizhou capital, the imperial court has no choice but to fight it to the death, However, if he chooses Jiaozhou and Qingdao, which are too remote, the imperial court has not developed them, and they do not want to reflect any value. If they are in a corner, they may not attract the attention of the imperial court.

Liu Bu's preliminary plan now is to build this place into his logistics base. As long as he can cultivate fields and grain here and train tens of thousands of soldiers, it will be great.

If it is easy to be blocked by the Imperial Army in other places, it will be completely finished, but they are different here. Even if the imperial court blocks me, I can get materials by sea. It is not easy for the imperial court to block them, nor does it mean to block them.

Liu Bu believes that his father and the Buddha all advocated the alliance with the Zheng family, mainly because he took a fancy to the Zheng family's property and business help. However, Liu Bu has greater plans. He knows that if he forms a military alliance with the Zheng family, he can get the support of the Zheng family at sea. If they get the support of the Zheng family's fleet at sea, It's not easy for others to block them.

Old Buddha, they are interested in the Zheng family's business and money, while Liu Bu is interested in the Zheng family's military force, that is, the Zheng family's power at sea.

In fact, the Zheng family's strength on the sea is strong enough, strong enough to have no friends, and strong opponents are trembling, but they don't make good use of this strength, and they don't make rational use of this strength. If they can mobilize this strength to fight JianNu, they can beat JianNu to shit, but now Daming implements the policy of banning the sea, There is not even a navy. It is just a navy. The navy is still managed by the local army. Naturally, there is no room for development.

Today's banquet made them very happy. The next day, Liu Bu invited Zheng Zhibao and others to his Tibetan army Valley to watch his military camp.

Now Liu's army has only more than 1000 people, and the force is not very powerful, but they are all servants and troops, which is quite good. However, after this incident, they decided to expand their army with all their strength. Now Liu Zhongyong has carried out the second round of expansion in the Tibetan army Valley. This round will recruit 1000 people at one time, expanding their force to 2000 people.

Liu Bu led Zheng Zhibao's father and daughter to watch his various facilities in his Tibetan army valley. Zheng Zhibao was very satisfied. He said, "I didn't expect that you are a wise son-in-law. You have the courage to get such a Tibetan army Valley out here without saying a word. If the officials don't know, they will be surprised to come here rashly."

Since he is his father-in-law and a military alliance, Liu Bu has nothing to hide. He said, "now the world is chaotic. As long as there are soldiers in hand, you don't have to be afraid of being bullied by others. There are soldiers and power in hand. Even if the magistrate comes in person, you have to listen to me here."

Zheng Zhibao frowned a little. He thought, this boy is really not boastful. The boast turned his tail up.

Although the Zheng family has great strength, they are all at sea. They mainly develop their business and business at sea. On land, their strength may not be as good as that of the Liu family. For the local government, they still respect them very much. They all send a lot of gifts during the Spring Festival. The two sides maintain their relationship through this kind of etiquette, but it is definitely not to the point that the county magistrate should listen to them.

Liu Bu found his father-in-law's disapproval, so he had to convince Jimo county magistrate Zhou Wentong to speak out about his little brother.

After telling them about it, Zheng Zhibao was greatly amazed: "I didn't expect you to be so resourceful, son-in-law."

Zheng zining was always a little arrogant. She looked like a grass-roots team to the Lius' Tibetan army valley. However, she was a little surprised when she heard the way he controlled Zhou Wentong, which meant that they controlled the whole Jimo and completely mastered the military and political collection here, This area can almost be included in their Liu family's sphere of influence and can do whatever they want. If this area is really included, their Zheng family in Nan'an is far inferior to the Liu family in Jimo.

Zheng zining immediately gave birth to a feeling of being impressed.

Liu Bu watched the drill of their troops on the commanding platform. Their troops were trained in strict accordance with the methods of Qi's army. The most important thing was discipline. He only saw that they were lined up in neat queues, horizontally and vertically. They were very neat and powerful. Every action was neat and uniform, very consistent, giving people a strong sense of shock and strength.

Liu Bu likes to listen to the footsteps of these soldiers walking out of a neat queue. He feels very safe in this footsteps, like a powerful force at his command.

Zheng Zhibao was a little surprised when he saw Liu Jiajun's training. It was this army. His team spirit and cooperation ability seemed to be stronger than their Zheng's Lu Division.

The army pays attention to the strength of the group. Discipline is first of all. Liu Jiajun's soldiers may not be strong and strong, but their discipline is very harsh. When they were training, it suddenly rained heavily. Liu Bu and his soldiers were on the observation platform. There was a canopy on it, but the soldiers were soaked, But they were still meticulous, their movements remained the same, and the formation completed the whole set of exercises in an orderly manner.

When they finished the drill, if Liu Bu didn't give an order, they would stand in place, no matter how heavy the rain was, they would get wet all over, but they just stood still.
