Chapter 212

Shuizhai, also known as Dengzhou Acropolis, is a water city in a naval base and a typical coastal defense castle.

The water city was built in the ninth year of Hongwu. The wall is made of bricks. It is about 1500 meters long, 12 meters high and 3.6 meters thick. The south of the city is connected to the county seat. To the north is a high cliff. A high Pavilion is built near the sea, forming the commanding height of the city. A large wooden gate is built in the north of the city to lead sea water into the city, which is a place for ships.

This is where the Denglai Navy is stationed.

On that day, Wuqiao mutiny, the Navy also participated in the mutiny. Later, after the defeat, they fled.

Because the rebels took away all the Navy, the Ming Ping rebel army had no fire division, so they could only watch them escape.

After Gao ruowang took office, he had ambitious plans. He wrote to the imperial court asking for ships from all over the country, or money and food, to revive the Dengzhou Navy.

This plan was supported by the military department of the imperial court, but the military department transferred few ships from all over the country.

You should know that these ships are the lifeblood of local sailors. How can they be transferred to others? They sell all these ships and won't transfer them to others.

This is when the navy of the Ming Dynasty was in Zhu Di. It was so awesome. It had ships that could sail to the east coast of Africa, such as Fu ships and 2000 material ships. But now, there are only some offshore boats.

No good ships were transferred from other places, and the imperial court did not pull out a lot of money and food. Gao ruowang, that is, it is difficult for a skillful woman to cook without rice, and they are unable to revive the Navy, so they can only let it go.

They reluctantly set up a small fleet for private investigation to fight smuggling and pirates. However, facing the JianNu Navy across the sea, they have no advantage and will be hanged by the other party at any time.

It was not until Zheng Zhibao served as the chief of the Dengzhou army that there was a new change. Zheng Zhibao brought ten huge warships. These warships were 2000 material class main warships, which were huge for the navy of the Ming army. Even the most powerful Fujian Navy and Guangdong Navy did not have such a configuration.

So as soon as Zheng Zhibao took office, he immediately killed JianNu Navy in the opposite sea, which can be regarded as revitalizing the prestige of Lailai Navy.

Zheng Zhibao served as the commander in chief of Dengzhou army. He was different from Gao ruowang, the last commander in chief. Gao ruowang was a general on land. He was just stationed in the Xingdu Department house in Dengzhou City, that is, the so-called commander in chief house, where he ate and lived.

But Zheng Zhibao is different. Zheng Zhibao is different because he is a Navy commander-in-chief and is famous for fighting naval battles. He set his headquarters here in the Navy stronghold.

After Zheng Zhibao finished the attack on JianNu, it can be said that there was nothing in Northern Xinjiang. Then he took a warship back to Fujian to preside over his daughter's marriage.

Dengzhou Navy stronghold was handed over to Zheng Lin in charge.

Zheng Zhibao's ten captains are old brothers who follow him through life and death. Naturally, there is no doubt about his loyalty. Moreover, the governor wants to buy them off with a piece of white paper and empty teeth. In fact, it's just a joke.

Now the governor is angry. He comes to the Navy stronghold and asks him to see Zheng Lin.

Who knows that the other party is dismissive. Zheng Lin said: "I am ordered by the commander in chief to guard here. No matter who comes, I can't open the door without the command of the commander in chief."

His Navy stronghold is equivalent to a small city. There are a large number of people in and out and freight transportation every day. But when they see the governor coming, they close the door, just don't let you in, just hit you in the face, and see what you can do?

Their side doors and small arches are still open, but the governor has to enter through the main entrance. Can he go through the arch and side doors?

When the dignified governor came to inspect the Navy stronghold under his rule, he was rejected by the other party, which made Chen YingYuan very angry. He immediately said, "are you still the navy of the Ming court? You don't even listen to the orders of the court?"

Zheng Lin said on it, "we are the Ming Navy, but the commander in chief has an order. No one can open it without an imperial edict and an adult's warrant. If you have something, you can enter through the side door."

Zheng Lin said this, but Chen YingYuan was completely angry. Now he knows that these so-called sailors and soldiers are Zheng Zhibao's private soldiers. They are unfilial and loyal to the imperial court, only Zheng Zhibao. As a so-called governor, he has no authority in the eyes of the other party. He won't listen to you.

He threatened the imperial court, and the other party was unmoved. He was also a little difficult to ride a tiger, and it was difficult for the shy knife to get into the scabbard.

What is even more humiliating now is that there are many people watching. When they see him, the governor, being closed here, they all laugh one after another.

As a governor, Chen YingYuan's prestige in the local area is not very high, and the local people are not very convinced of him.

The local people were right. The new Zheng Zhibao was quite convinced. At least this general army wiped out JianNu Navy not long after he took office, which saved the peace of one side.

The people of Dengzhou know that there is a JianNu Navy stationed at Lushunkou opposite. These navy are composed of their rebels. The rebels can attack and loot Denglai at any time. Didn't some of their grain ships be taken away by JianNu a while ago?

This commander-in-chief wiped them out as soon as he made a move. He is also a strong commander-in-chief. The people like a strong commander-in-chief, which can at least protect the place. They also despise those officials who are mediocre, eat and drink and die.

How low is Chen YingYuan's popularity and prestige? He's three out of sixty this year? And if there is no accident, it is estimated that he will retire after the governor's term of office expires.

Governor Denglai is the place where he became an official. Of course, the most famous place in Dengzhou belongs to Dengzhou famous official Temple.

Famous officials in Dengzhou area are worshipped here. They have been worshipped by the people for a hundred years.

Chen YingYuan also knew that he must have retired in these places. He was naturally disappointed after he became an official. A hundred years later, he could settle in Dengzhou Minghuan temple and accept the offerings of people's incense.

In the fourth year of Hongwu, the imperial edict was issued to all schools in the world to build ancestral halls for the sages. The left worships the sages and shepherds (later known as the officials) and the right worships the local sages. These two temples are attached to the school palace. All those who enter the two ancestral halls shall be examined and approved by the provincial scholars and interview envoys. Those who enter the ancestral halls after Wanli must be approved by the Ministry.

The offerings of this dynasty include: Dengzhou prefects Zhou Bin, Lin Bi, Bi Ruzhou, Zhu Xiyan, Xu Wen, Liu Yong (participating in politics and managing government affairs), Feng Kun, Zheng Zhang, Liu Jing, Li Chengxuan, Lu Tingyan, Tongzhi Li Yue (former Penglai prefect), Zhang Xue, Yi Zheng, Denglai governor yuan Keli, Denglai Dao Zhou Zhixun, Penglai prefect Xing Qi, and Dengzhou deputy chief soldier Shen yourong.

Before entering the Minghuan temple, the local officials and sages should agree, and then the Ministry of rites should reply.

As governor Denglai, the local officials did not dare to say that they did not agree with him to enter here to pay salaries in a hundred years, but it was the people and local sages who killed the people who refused, just not to sell him the face of governor Denglai.

You should know that governor Denglai is such a few terms. Not every term can enter Dengzhou Minghuan temple to accept offerings. It seems that sun Yuanhua and Xie Lian can't enter.

Therefore, the governor has no choice but to return unhappily. He can't forcibly attack the Shuishi stronghold. Let alone that he doesn't have so many soldiers, even if there are so many soldiers, he may not be able to attack.

These soldiers colluded with their generals and didn't give him the face of the governor at all, so he couldn't help it.

After this incident, Governor Chen YingYuan felt that his face was rubbed on the ground by the other party. In his anger, he immediately wrote a memorial and impeached Zheng Zhibao to the court: he had no boss, acted recklessly and domineering, and asked the court to dismiss him.

If Gao ruowang was appointed, he would be dismissed directly. However, Zheng Zhibao was appointed with the consent of Shang Shu and the cabinet of the military department of the imperial court. If he was dismissed directly, it would be equivalent to working against the military department and the cabinet. Frankly, without the other party's affidavit, it is estimated that he would be more disgraced. Therefore, he had to find a way to get the imperial court's consent, Zheng Zhibao was relieved of his post.

Chen YingYuan was very aggressive this time. The general army under his banner was so domineering that he didn't have a governor. He didn't hear his orders at all. If he didn't clean up the other party, he wouldn't be the governor anymore. Therefore, he wrote clearly in his memorial to the imperial court: "The military general is so domineering. If he doesn't stop it, there will be endless trouble. I can't be the governor. Please resign."

To put it bluntly, if you don't let Zheng Zhibao go, let me go. He has worked very hard and tired as governor for more than a year.

He is a governor with the title of imperial censor of youjindu. He is a member of the Metropolitan Police house. I believe that after his impeachment Memorial goes to the court, the police house will speak for him. Even if Zheng Zhibao can't be relieved of his post, he will teach him a lesson and clean him up, so that he can't make such a mess.

In these decades, in the Ming Dynasty, civil officials sued military officials, which must be won by civil officials.

Originally, Chen YingYuan wanted to buy Xiao Yun off, but when he saw Zheng Lin stationed here under Zheng Zhibao, he dared to be so arrogant and domineering, not to mention Xiao Yun deployed outside the city. Now he thought of these troops and dared to be so arrogant and arrogant to him, because they were private soldiers kept by Zheng family and Liu family, and they had never eaten them The money and grain of the imperial court have no intention of obeying the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, these troops are their servants. It is said that all the generals and generals in major border towns have their own servants. These servants follow the Lord, go out and live together. Some even have their adopted sons and servants taken back. They don't even listen to the orders of the governor, but only listen to the orders of the Lord. He used to laugh at these people's rule Unreasonable, his bossy generals can't cure it, but today, he saw the power of these and felt some regret.
