Shen Guangzuo was just stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"You are available, but you are willing to work as an errand in the Chief Envoy's Yamen!" As an uncle, he naturally knows what kind of temper and abilities his nephew has. This idea is definitely not something that his nephew came up with. It probably happened right in front of him. Inside this head.

At such a young age, he can have such a scheming attitude. He seems to be a scholar, and his future prospects are limitless. If he doesn't take him under his wing now, how long will it take?

"Sir! I was saved by Master Mao and I once swore allegiance to Master Mao." Li Xiao's lies come out as soon as he opens his mouth. Only a devil is willing to hang out with you, the chief envoy's yamen. Now it's not me who is fooling around with your nephew, it's your nephew. Now follow me to eat and drink.

"In this case, I will recommend Navy Admiral Chen to you tonight." Shen Guangzuo said confidently!

Tonight, all officials in Shandong will attend the welcome dinner for Sun Yuanhua, the new governor of Denglai. As an official, connections are very important. This kind of welcome ceremony will usually be attended as long as it is not a major event involving the death of a father or mother in the family.

As the top leader of the Shandong Navy, Chen Hailong will naturally come.

Shen Guangzuo found a courtyard for Li Xiao and his party to live in at the Chief Envoy's Yamen, very close to Shen Guangzuo's back house.

"Brother Xiao! Do we really want to exchange these heads for money? Those officials are all Pixiu people, and Chen Hailong has even seen people who can't walk with money. If you let them take the money, it will be difficult!" Mr. Wu has been to Shandong several times and knows the officials in Shandong very well.

Chen Hailong was notoriously corrupt in Shandong official circles. He had a thousand people under his command, but he dared to apply for a job of two thousand.

Corruption is a family tradition. His father, Chen Lin, is a generational greedy man. But his father can fight at least. During the battle of Luliang Sea, his father was the commander-in-chief of the Ming army. In that battle, the Satsuma elite of the Shimazu family Total loss.

Chen Hailong, on the other hand, could only be greedy but not aggressive. He relied on his father's reputation to become a naval admiral in Shandong. His biggest contribution in daily life was to contribute to Shandong's economy! To put it bluntly, it was smuggling!

"It doesn't matter, we are not short of money and we don't need to ask for his money. We only need ships, large cargo ships that can transport things. It would be better to have battleships! This thing is too slow to build. We need to have ready-made ships. Ships are only good This is the purpose of our coming to Shandong!"

"It seems like you are holding back your evil again and are addicted to robbing. This time in Jinzhou, many things were not moved out in time and had to be burned. I also feel it is a pity!" Ao Canghai lay on the bed, lifting the quilt from time to time to look. look.

I was used to sleeping on a kang in Liaodong, but I am really not used to sleeping on a bed now. Especially when the body moves, the bed creaks and creaks, which makes people think of it as very dirty.

"We have no choice but to burn the things we grabbed. Who can't be tempted? If we want to develop in the future, we must rely on the support of Shandong. It is very useful to have good relations with the officials on the ground in Shandong!

From now on, your musketry team will have to recruit troops in Shandong. With the few people on the island, you can't pick out many suitable ones."

Ao Canghai and Wu Ye drank some wine during dinner, but they had to do errands in the evening and did not dare to drink too much.

When they first arrived at Haishi, Shen Guangzuo sent someone to invite Li Xiao. Li Xiao quickly took Ao Canghai and Wu Ye and followed the visitor to Shen Guangzuo's study. There were two people sitting in the study, one was Shen Guangzuo. , another person wearing a military attaché uniform. Without even thinking about it, this person must be Chen Hailong, the admiral of the Shandong Navy.

"I've met the Chief Envoy, I've met the Admiral." Li Xiao saluted the two of them one by one.

"Master Shen, this is...!" Chen Hailong glanced at Li Xiao and found that he didn't recognize him. He looked at Shen Guangzuo suspiciously, not knowing what he wanted to do by asking him to come.

"This little brother is my nephew, Li Xiao, the admiral of Mao Wenlong, the capital of Liaodong. I have something to discuss with the admiral this time!" Shen Guangzuo smiled and asked Li Xiao to sit down.

When Chen Hailong saw that Li Xiao actually had a seat in front of Shen Guangzuo, he immediately paid attention. It wasn't just anyone who had a seat here. Being able to have a seat at least proved that he had the capital.

"The Admiral is talking to Brother Xiao first. I have some secular affairs." Seeing Li Xiao sit down, Shen Guangzuo bowed his hands to Chen Hailong and retreated.

As expected, he is an old fox who has been through the officialdom. He wants to take advantage of this kind of thing but does not want to get involved in the scandal.

"The Admiral was busy with official duties, so I took a detour. A few days ago, our Lord Mao attacked Jinzhou in Liaodong and killed more than 500 Tatar soldiers."

"Oh! Congratulations to Mr. Mao, but what does this matter have to do with me?" Chen Hailong said with an arrogant expression.

What does the great victory in Liaodong have to do with Laozi and the Shandong Navy?

"It doesn't matter? My Lord Mao wants to give these heads to the Admiral. How can you say that these achievements have nothing to do with you?"

"No reward for no merit! What do you want?"

"It's so nice! It's so nice! It's so nice to talk to the Admiral. There are three big ships with 3,000 materials."

"Now that Liaodong has fallen, military exploits at this time can indeed be appreciated by the Holy One. It's just that for a mere five hundred heads, you want three big ships worth three thousand materials. This is a bit excessive. Besides, who knows who you are? Isn't it just killing a good person and taking credit for it? If the head is reported and found out by the Ministry of War, I can't bear the consequences." Chen Hailong looked at Li Xiao and sneered, and was about to stand up and leave.

Being able to sit down and talk has already given Shen Guangzuo face. Now that the face has been given, the best thing to do is to pat his butt and leave.

"The Admiral is too impatient. I haven't finished speaking yet. Not only do we need three large ships with 3,000 materials, but we also need a warship with 2,000 materials." Li Xiao ignored Chen Hailong's contemptuous gaze and said with a smile.

"Hmph!" Chen Hailong sneered and didn't even bother to say anything. There are too many things these days that kill good people and take credit. He simply doesn't believe that a low-ranking captain can actually kill five hundred Tatar soldiers. If this is the case. If we can win, can we lose Liaodong?

"In addition to five hundred dead heads, we can also give two hundred living heads to the Admiral!" After Li Xiao finished speaking, Chen Hailong, who was about to reach the door, immediately stopped.

Dead people and living people are completely different things. Killing good people and taking credit can only kill people. This living person can't take the risk. He will miss everything when he opens his mouth. This proves that Du Si named Mao really killed five people. Hundreds of Tartars. And two hundred of them were captured alive!

Now the entire Liaodong is almost lost, and the Ming army is being beaten and retreating. If such a contribution is counted on my head..., I, as an admiral, can at least be promoted to one level. The Holy Lord will also remember his name in his heart. .

"Is this true?"

"How many heads do you have to coax the Admiral? As long as you give me four ships, I will give you 500 Tartar heads and 200 living people. However, when the Admiral wants to report his merits. Let me mention the chief minister Shen’s contribution to the mediating. After all, he is the mediator, what do you think?"

"You are a person, I want to meet him first."
