However, Shi Lang rushed to Nanjing on a night and did not delay after arriving, and went to visit the Governor Lang Tsun, Liangjiang.

As the most powerful official in the southeastern provinces, Langhamzo is Shi Lang's immediate superior.

If Shi Lang wants to show off his strength, he naturally needs to have a good relationship with Langzezo.

Otherwise, just wearing your shoes will make you feel disgusting.

Shi Lang has mastered this kind of trick in dealing with people and is very comfortable to coax people with just one mouth.

Langham was very happy when he heard that Shi Lang had arrived and set up a banquet to entertain Shi Lang.

"General Shi has worked hard all the way. I specially set up this banquet to welcome you!"

Langzenzo raised his wine glass and smiled.

His attitude is very polite.

Logically speaking, Langham's official position is far above Shi Lang, so he doesn't have to be so polite to Shi Lang.

But Shi Lang's situation is a bit special.

The Qing Dynasty infantry and cavalry were famous all over the world, but the navy was very dragging.

Or, the navy is useless.

It is not that the Qing Dynasty did not have enough naval warships, but that it lacked excellent commanders.

After all, the Qing court did not pay enough attention to it.

A general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies.

In comparison, Shi Lang can be regarded as the most experienced navy general in the Qing army.

Besides, Shi Lang was sent by the Qing court to help Lang Tsang beat Zheng Chenggong. Now Lang Tsang has something to ask for him, so his attitude is naturally very good.

"Governor Lang is so kind."

Shi Lang raised his wine glass and drank it all, and said with a sigh: "The court heard that the Zheng thieves were rampant in the southeast and was worried. He was trusted by the emperor and appointed the General General of the Mo General, the General of Lailang. The Mo General was willing to do his best to eliminate the Zheng thieves in one fell swoop for the court."

Shi Lang has not yet figured out Langze's temperament when he first arrived, but it is always okay to show loyalty.

Who doesn’t like to listen to good things? Who doesn’t like to listen to flattery?

Not to mention the governor, the emperor is the same.

This is human nature!

Anyway, he doesn't need to lift his knife to chop people immediately. Who can't brag?

"Haha, with General Shi here, I feel relieved. The little Zheng thief is ridiculous. He only has less than 100,000 people, and he wants to shake the big tree, but he doesn't know that the court has just not made any effort for a while. If he really wants to deal with him, it is as simple as crushing an ant to death."

"The Governor said it right. The Battle of the Yangtze River has exhausted the Zheng thief's vitality. They are just surviving now. Zhoushan is not a place to raise troops, and if they continue to consume it, they can be exhausted to death."

Shi Lang followed Langze's words, but unexpectedly flattered the horse's legs.

It is naturally not good to rely on Zhoushan to farm and produce grain by himself, but Lang Tsun just "sent a big gift" to Zheng Chenggong. Now the Ming army's navy has too much food to eat!

I'm afraid Zheng Chenggong won't have to worry about food issues within a year.

But he couldn't say this to Shi Lang, so he had to endure it and cough and said, "This is not necessarily the case. Zheng Zhe was originally a pirate, and he could rely on robbing. There were a lot of sea boats passing by Zhoushan, and he should be able to grab a lot."

Shi Langzhi was a little suspicious.

Most of the merchant ships passing by the Zhoushan Sea go to Japan for trade. Although these merchant ships are available, they are not too many. Even if Zheng Chenggong snatches them all, it is not enough to eat.

Unlike the huge number of merchant ships going to Southeast Asia, they can raise a large army of 100,000 and a huge navy.

But since Langhamzo said that, Shi Lang naturally could not slap him in the face and echoed: "That's right! So the key now is to strictly prohibit merchant ships from going into the sea and block Zheng Thief's space as much as possible. Let him have no ship to rob!"

The strategy of banning the sea was implemented from the beginning of the Ming Taizu. Until the Jiajing Dynasty reached its peak, the people were unable to go into the sea.

It was not until Longqing Dynasty that the sea reopened.

Now that the sea ban is reopened, it is naturally a last resort.

"This governor needs to ask the emperor for instructions."

Although Langham is the governor of Liangjiang and has great authority, such things involving national policies still have to be decided by the court.

Otherwise, Langham's orders to ban the sea, and the news will be passed to the censor in the future to learn from him, and he will not be able to bear the charge of being proficient.

"The Governor General is far-sighted, and I will admire him!"

Langzenz stroked his beard very helpfully and smiled: "According to General Shi, the navy in the southeast may now attack Zhoushan?"

Before Shi Lang came to see Lang's zombie, he had already asked about the situation of the Qing army's navy in advance.

In his opinion, neither the number of artillery nor the number of warships could be compared with the navy under Zheng Chenggong.

It is impossible for this kind of half-lazi navy to threaten Zheng Chenggong.

The court still did not pay enough attention to the navy, and felt that the Eight Banners Army could wipe out the world.

Although the Eight Banners are powerful, they cannot fight at sea, right?

In order to completely destroy the Ming Dynasty, the combat power of the navy is crucial.

No matter how big the talk is, Shi Lang still has to tell the truth when it comes to the critical link.

Otherwise, if Langhamzo finds out that he is saying something that is exaggerating and blaming, Shi Lang will not be able to bear the charge.

He coughed and said, "To be honest, there is still a big gap between the navy and the Zheng thief."

After a brief pause, Shi Lang added: "The main ones are ships suitable for the Neijiang River and inland combat, and may not be able to exert their power on the sea."

In fact, what he said was already very tactful. According to Shi Lang's standards, such ships should not appear among the imperial navy.

Even charging numbers can't do it!

No wonder Zheng Chenggong launched the Battle of the Yangtze River and was unstoppable. With the combat power of the Qing army naval army, it would be strange if it could stop Zheng Chenggong.

If Governor Lang hadn't used a plan to delay, Nanjing would have fallen now.

"Building a ship requires a lot of money!"

Langzezo said a little worried.

The head of the family has difficulties. As the governor of Liangjiang, Langham naturally needs to find a way to build the ship, but the prefectures and counties should not have that much silver deposit, and it is too late to collect it now.

"There will be a way at this end."

Shi Lang talked happily: "The Governor can promise to the local gentry and tycoons along the southeast coast that the court will reopen the sea after the Zheng thief was eliminated. At that time, only those who obtained the pass permit can trade in sea. Naturally, this pass permit will cost money. The purchase price is cheaper now..."

Shi Lang actually learned this trick from Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong and his son.

The Zheng family navy earned a lot of money by issuing pass permits. To put it bluntly, this is the money to buy a road.

If you don’t make any money, don’t think about sea trade in this area.

This is the case with the Zheng family in control of a small place.

The Governor of Liangjiang is in charge of several southeastern provinces, and no one can offend him.

"How wonderful, so wonderful!"

Langzenzo clapped and said, "This is really a clever plan. Why didn't I expect it? I ordered someone to write a command and send it to the coastal prefectures and counties."
