Win the Ding 1617

"What kind of virtue is Lin, how dare His Royal Highness come here to greet you, this is not to blame Lin! Death penalty death penalty!"

In Jiangxin, there were already sharp-eyed subordinates who saw the guard of honor flag on the Xiaodongmen Wharf at a glance. From the flag and the size of the guards, he couldn't help but let out a low exclamation: "Master! It seems to be And His Highness has arrived in person!"

Although Lin Kun had a verbal lawsuit with Hong Chengchou in Nanjing, the communication with Shanghai has never been interrupted.And still openly contact. "Since you invited me to come to the peace talks, then my lord and I will ask for instructions and report. Is it always the right thing to teach the opportunity?" For the Qing army, first, Hong Chengchou wanted to show his superior demeanor, and second, Both Duoduo and Hong Chengchou knew that the Li family and his son had been in Nanjing for a long time, and they had left behind many secret eyeliners, and they had the advantages of rivers, seas, rivers and lakes. If they want to convey any news, it should not be too simple!Simply make it more beautiful and open the door for him to contact Shanghai!

Relying on this, Lin Kun knows the dynamics in the direction of Shanghai like the palm of his hand.He knew that after Li Shouhan finished handling the military and political affairs in the Jiangxi direction, he left for Guangzhou to take care of His Royal Highness Tang's enthronement and supervision of the country in Guangzhou.Li Huamei led a huge naval fleet to escort His Highness the King of Tang and a group of court Chinese soldiers slowly heading south.The most important person staying in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture is the second son Li Huabao, who is called the Second Highness by his subordinates.

At this time, the Second Highness, who was alone in Shanghai, came to the pier in person, which made Lin Kun a little excited.

Before the springboard was stabilized, Lin Dadong's family, who were well versed in the officialdom of "county magistrates are not as good as current officials", rushed onto the springboard, and rushed to Li Huabao in a few steps, with smiles all over his face.Speaking of which, he and Li Huabao are also acquaintances. As a population trader with huge sales and trade volume, it is natural that he would pick out some fine products for the Li family and his sons to appreciate.To put it bluntly, at least half of the colorful women in Li Shouhan's inner house were purchased and presented by Lin Kun.

"Where does Mr. Lin come from? When my father was in Shanghai, he always praised Mr. Lin, saying that Mr. Lin won more than two months for our Southern Guangdong Army with his own efforts and a sharp mouth! This credit, Even Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Lin Xiangru, Li Shiqi and Lu Jia did not dare to look up to Mr. Huabao! Hua Bao came to the pier to greet Mr. In terms of publicity, it is on behalf of all the soldiers of the Southern Guangdong Army to thank Mr. for the precious time he has won for our army. In terms of filial piety, Mr. helped the father to solve the immediate urgent need, Hua Bao should be grateful as a son of man. In terms of personal relationship, Hua Bao and Mr. are also very irresistible, a greeting and seeing off between friends is not a big deal."

Seeing what Li Huabao said, Lin Kun could only thank him without a word.However, he traveled north and south for many years and experienced countless storms, so he has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts.From the point of view of Li Huabao and his friends, it is only right for him to make out with you.But if you don’t know good from bad, or even push your nose on your face, then maybe “the cat licks the bridge of the tiger’s nose—you’re looking for death.” How many favorites and celebrities who were extremely popular for a while, all because of the accumulation of these situations, they finally collapsed. The ground turned into dust.

Respectfully followed Li Huabao back to the Tianhou Palace Xingyuan, where Li Huabao's headquarters is already located.

"Sir, I don't say anything about the current situation, but you know it very well." After some courtesy and politeness, Li Huabao drank the hot cocoa in his hand, put the glass aside, changed his expression, and began to talk to Lin Kun .

"The reason why my father wants to go back to Guangzhou is not only to settle there for the king of Tang and prepare for the enthronement ceremony, but more importantly, the transportation between Guangzhou and southern Jiangxi is relatively convenient, and there is also a sea route that can connect Songjiang. It is convenient for commanding two The people and horses in the direction act together."

"Over there in Jiangxi, my eldest brother-in-law has commanded troops to capture Nanchang. According to the military report yesterday, Changsha and Jiujiang have also happened in the past few days. Wuchang, the peripheral progress is quite smooth, and it should be recovered within ten days. Once Wuchang is captured, my father will have a big plan to spread out."

Lin Kun also heard about the actions of Hao Yaoqi, Gao Yigong and others in Jiangxi in Nanjing.It's just bad news.There are legends in Nanjing that the New South Guangdong Army, who came from thieves, would take all those shaved men who had been officials at various levels in the Qing court after conquering a city, and take them to the cross streets without distinction. After counting their crimes of forgetting their ancestors, being a thief with a shy face, and surrendering to a foreign race, they were executed.

All of a sudden, from the middle of Jiangxi to the north of Jiangxi, from Changsha Mansion in Yuanyuan to the city of Wuchang, they were killed by these "thieves" along the way, blood flowed into rivers and heads rolled!Not only did they harm officials at all levels in the Qing Dynasty, but they also refused to be lenient in the slightest to those gentry and scholars who shaved their heads and returned to obedience.As long as you shave your hair and wear clothes easily, then the men will be taken to the cross streets to be slashed, let the road paved with bluestone slabs be soaked and dyed red with blood, and let the city be covered with human heads.According to the words of the leaders of the "thieves", "These people have shaved their heads and put their braids on, which saves us trouble. There is no need to build wooden cages to hold the heads, just tie the braids to the crenel!" All the men in the family were killed, and the wealth and women became the spoils of war for the "thieves".

All of a sudden, the vast land of the lake was full of refugees, well-dressed gentry families fled north one after another, to Jiujiang, to Wuchang, and even crossed the Yangtze River in one breath and fled to Anqing.All of a sudden, countless large family members who had lasted for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, were reduced to a pool of rubble and ashes.Poems and rituals are destroyed and abandoned, making the saints weep under Jiuyuan!

The bells and drums are destroyed, and the tiles are thundering.Without these heirs of poetry and etiquette from generation to generation at the helm, the situation is even more turbulent.Those long-term tenants, mud legs, and servants who have been supported by their families for many years, don't think of kindness, but take advantage of the chaos and act recklessly.Burning, killing, looting, destroying ancestral halls, binding and hanging the former head of the family, all kinds of situations are endless.

The New South Guangdong Army headed by Hao Yaoqi, Dang Shousu, Gao Yigong, Zhang Nai and others set fire to the wasteland in the front, overcoming thorns and thorns, followed by hundreds of work teams from southern Jiangxi and southern Hunan. After that, combined with the slavery and tenant changes in various places, new political institutions were quickly established everywhere.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Shouhan rushed to Guangzhou as if fleeing from Shanghai in a hurry.It should be noted that even though the Korean, Chinese and military officials no longer have the strength and arrogance they had in Nanjing, they can compete with him and have the capital to fight against courtesy.However, those officials who have various relationships with the officials and gentry in Huguang and Jiangxi, such as the same township, the same family, the same year, in-laws, old friends, etc., have to come to him to cry and complain, not to mention energy, these flies Such a guy would cry, accuse, and curse in front of him every day, pointing the finger at Shi Lang directly and indirectly, and pointing at the Nanyue Army, but he still couldn't do anything, it really annoyed him to death.

"I don't know how many impeachment questions my brother-in-law has been impeached by the censors because of this incident. A few days ago, when my eldest sister escorted Tang Wang and Chao Wenwu to the south of Hainan, these impeachment questions were left unpublished by the imperial censor. It was about to load a boat! Later, the eldest sister said that there are not enough ships, if you want to load this kind of documents, you will have to crowd around, and see which one of the adults is willing to make a berth with the sailors on the floor of the Datong warehouse? After saying this, these crows Then everyone was honest. I ordered people to move all these documents out of the cabin and leave them on the pier for the use of the footmen and sailors on the pier when they went to the place of reincarnation of the grain. Tell them, there is nothing to worry about Cherish writing and paper, these things are waste paper, only good for wiping your ass!"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that this generation may not be able to calm down after arriving in Wuyang City. It is inevitable that we will continue to fight and bite General Shi Lang!" Thinking of the faces of those imperial officials and other civil and military officials in the court when they fought together, Lin Kun He couldn't help but worry about Shi Lang.

"Hmph! It's different now! In the past, the father would not hesitate to tolerate it because of his face. Who knows that this generation doesn't know what is good or bad. Now the father has tolerated these people to the end. Mr. Lin, you just wait and see, I'm afraid the good show will come soon." Behind!"

Li Huabao's words made Lin Kun, who also received traditional education, break out in cold sweat.This is clearly a sign of learning from Zhu Wen's move to the White Horse Station in Luoyang!Speaking of which, the enmity between the Li family and those civil officials in the court far surpassed that of Zhu Wen.At best, Zhu Wen was not recognized by the Chinese and military ministers of the DPRK as a traitor who had surrendered.However, the Li family sent troops to serve the king and donated money and food. For the sake of the Ming court, the eldest son Li Huayu was killed in battle, and the eldest daughter Li Huamei was almost killed in battle.If one day they turn their backs, I'm afraid that these civil and military officials in the court will be like those ministers in the late Tang Dynasty, "these self-proclaimed clear streams should be thrown into all rivers, and they will always be turbid streams." "It is also indispensable.

"It should be a car hub" comes from "Zi Zhi Tong Jian Volume 260 Wu Tang Ji 81". Zhu Wen once sat under a big willow with his staff and tourists. Zhu Wen said to himself: "This tree should be a car hub .” Everyone should.A few tourists stood up and replied, "It should be a car hub." Zhu Wen was furious, and said loudly, "Scholars like to play tricks on others, and you are all this kind of people! The car hub must be made of elm wood, willow wood, etc." How can it be done!" He said to the people on the left and right: "What are you waiting for!" Dozens of people on the left and right clamored that "you should be the hub of the car", all of them were beaten to death.

Think about those Zuo servants who were born noble and gorgeous, or who were born in the imperial examination, and who were in the three provinces and Taige, who claimed to be famous, but were slaughtered like chickens and dogs by Zhu Wen's sword. , Newly eliminated the Qing Navy Jiedu Envoy Dugushang, Right Servant She Cui Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Lu Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry Wang Pu, Shou Taibao Zhishi Zhao Chong, Minister of the Ministry of War Wang Zan and other more than [-] "clearly dressed" people, and then Was thrown into the Yellow River, let the dead body ups and downs between the waves "forever a turbid current", as well as those ministers of civil and military affairs in the late Tang Dynasty who were beheaded by Zhu Wen in the name of cronies, Lin Kun secretly sighed deeply, " What does it mean that Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and later generations mourn them; what later generations mourn without learning from them, also makes future generations mourn for future generations. This generation can be regarded as a person who has read poems and books, but so for a little Self-interest, and sent myself and the whole family to a dead end. After death, you have to bear the infamy, you are really confused!"

However, Lin Dadong's family also made a mistake.Of course, these people were killed and their families were wiped out, and their reputation was ruined for a while.However, after a long time, there are those unworthy descendants who want to show their legitimacy by benevolent to the world for many reasons such as their improper status.Therefore, he hit it off with those who were defeated when the country was founded, and made an adultery, rehabilitated these people, restored their reputation, and returned their property.What's more, they even took the rebel leaders, the old and the young, and the remnants of the rebels who met with swords and guns back then to become officials in the court.After these people have legal status and property, how can they be with you?However, these unworthy descendants should not take care of these things. They only care about cheering for me, singing praises, and arranging meritorious deeds when they are alive. That's it.In the future, after I die, as long as the descendants are rich and the tomb is tall, who cares whether the flood is monstrous or not? !

"His Royal Highness, when I boarded the boat from Nanjing, I saw the soldiers and horses of the slave bandits mobilizing one after another along the way. It was probably led by the bandits of the slave bandits, led by the bandits of the slave bandits, and the ants were swarming towards Songjiang Mansion. Looking at the banners and the marching situation, it seems that there are at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and most of the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River should be overwhelmed by His Highness! It is not to be ignored!"

"Mr. Lin, you have the talents of Tao Zhu and the methods of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, so I admire you very much. However, you are a layman in this military affairs." Because he has a good personal relationship with Lin Kun, Li Huabao will not speak in words He paid special attention to something, and he didn't take Lin Kun's reminder seriously. "Although the Qing soldiers recruited and surrendered in various ways along the way, the thieves from all walks of life followed the rebellion like ants attached to the mutton, and they were full of arrogance for a while. However, in this land in the south of the Yangtze River, how can there be hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses? Sir, in the boat in the river, I'm afraid I was deceived by the fake banner of such thieves."

"One more thing, the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are dense and the water network is criss-crossing. It is not easy for a large army to march. When a certain family retreated from Nanjing, they destroyed all the bridges on the big rivers. This generation will inevitably be blocked by the rivers when they march. Mr. Far Looking around, it is natural that there are many soldiers and horses, and the momentum is huge."

Lin Kun moved his mouth a few times, and felt that what Li Huabao said made sense.When it comes to doing business, he is a master here.However, when it comes to fighting and governing the country, he is far inferior to these children of the Li family.The Second Highness in front of him was also the one who killed all the local officials in Guangxi and turned all the official villages into ashes. Speaking of Li Huabao's reputation, he can cure children from crying at night in Guangxi.

"Sir, when it comes to business, my father always talked about the great achievements of the master when he was leaving, and often worried about how to reward the merits of the gentleman. He often sighed and sighed about this matter when he discussed with us."

"A little bit of merit, but let the Duke remember it, I am really ashamed!"

"Afterwards, my elder sister discussed with me and advised my father that my husband is an expert among merchants and merchants, so it's better to let everyone make the best use of their talents."

This is Li Huabao's method of overturning clouds and rain.This matter was suggested by Shi Lang to Li Huamei in a letter from home, and it was Li Huamei who suggested it to Li Shouhan.When he got here, it became his advocate.Naturally, Lin Kun also understood the mystery of this, and thanked Li Huabao even though he had no excuses.

After receiving Lin Kun's gratitude for a while, Li Huabao got up and took out several documents from a tightly closed cabinet next to him, and handed them to Lin Kun. "Dadong Lin's family, no, Supervisor Lin. This is a letter of commission signed by the father himself. From now on, you and my Li family have been working together in Mugudushu, Malindi, Cisa, Zufa'er, and Bamboo. From the Bubu, Manbasa area, to the further south, the affairs of the colonists have been supervised."

Sure enough, on the letter of appointment mounted on the fine silk brocade, there are Li Shouhan's words that are not at all organized and structured.His bad handwriting was touted by some people who were good at flattering their bosses as being eclectic and beyond what anyone could do.However, although the handwriting is bad, the person who wrote it is a character who holds wind and thunder.In Lin Kun's view, this letter of commission was nothing more than a special order written by the emperor himself.

It is said that it is a letter of appointment, but it can also be said to be a letter of appointment or a charter.It probably means that Lin Kun and Li's family partnered together. They started in the north from Mugudushu along the coastline of Malindi, Cisa, Zufa'er, Zhubu and Manbasa to the south and to the vast inland area. Internally manage colonization affairs.As the supervisor of this matter, Lin Kun enjoys the right to recruit local soldiers and volunteers, to decide on his own to conquer and appease, and to appoint organizational officials below the state capital.However, he also has the obligation to cooperate with Xu Hongzu's Nakano School, Nanyue Army Navy and other departments.

If Lin Kun had cleared his mind at this time, he would have known clearly that this firm was the version of the Li family's East India Company.It's just that the destination and area are not India, but the coastline of East Africa goes all the way south, and it doesn't even specify where it is in the south.Lin Kun was at a loss for what to do in such a vast area with abundant products and wealth.

At this time, he was already dizzy from the blow of happiness, as if he was in a cloud.

"Your Highness, as far as my subordinates know, isn't the Fifth Young Master Hua Chen in charge of the wooden bones? If I go, how will I get along with the Fifth Young Master?" Fortunately, there is still a trace of clarity in Lin Kun's mind. Lin Kun thought of the Fifth Young Master Li Huachen .

"Fifth brother, don't worry, the father has already given him a document. This is a letter from my eldest sister and I to him. You also take it with you. After reading it, he will naturally cooperate with you." Li Huabao handed Lin Kun two unsealed letters, suggesting that he might as well take them out to see if there is anything that needs to be revised.

What else would Lin Kun say at this time?He just proposed to find a way to transfer some officials and officers to recruit volunteers (that is, mercenaries!)

"Nowadays, soldiers are being used everywhere, and there are not enough low-level officials, so where can I find these people for you?" Li Huabao frowned, and complained for a while as usual.

"Forget it! I'll plead with Uncle Xiaohu and send you 25 ships and sailors from his fleet. In addition, I will transfer people from [-] counties and five state capitals to you for the low-level officials who retreated from the south of the Yangtze River to Songjiang Prefecture. As for the officers and soldiers of the Army Battalion..."

Having said this, Li Huabao suddenly burst into a smirk. "I have a suitable person here. I don't know if you dare to use it?"

"Your Highness, who is it?"

The officer Li Huabao recommended to Lin Kun to lead the team was Xiao Zhengchun.This son from a rich family was transferred from his post in the Ninth Brigade to Tianfang as an instructor.But for some reason, this extraordinary young master Xiao had a super-friendly relationship with his employer's princess, and even sowed the seeds in his fertile land.He was so angry that his cheap father-in-law wanted to honor him.He also saw the opportunity quickly, and Dang even took the princess and fled back by boat overnight.Now he is waiting to be punished at home as a guilty person.

"Do you dare to use this man? You are not afraid that his cheap father-in-law will trouble you. If you dare to use his words, I will ask my father to allocate a regiment of soldiers and horses for you, supplemented by some artillery. You can do it as a supervisor." Off to the boat."

"This man is also a hero who is bold and courageous! The subordinates thought, go to the place where the bones are tied, and the wild land is full of dangers. The ordinary man who follows the rules may not be able to do it. Isn't he just having this trouble? At worst, I will prepare more presents and go to his father-in-law to propose marriage for him in the name of the Duke of the country. If I give more benefits, the bed will be covered. It's time to conquer and appease!" Lin Kun was able to engage in the import and export trade of people in the midst of the turmoil, so he was naturally not a good man, and his words were full of murderous vigor!

"Okay! Sure enough, the certain family did not misunderstand the person!" Li Huabao also gave high fives in admiration!

Lin Kun received the relevant documents and went to Guangzhou to meet with Li Shouhan to thank the committee.After that, he led Xiao Zhengchun and others non-stop, and first went to the country of Wa to recruit volunteers.Relying on the large amount of rice and cloth in hand, it took more than a month to recruit 7000 people in the Wa Kingdom.If it weren't for the worry that the ship would not be able to load, another [-] would be fine!

After some rhetoric and thick coins, Lin Kun helped Xiao Zhengchun solve the face problem of his father-in-law, a certain Sudan.At the same time, the two sides also reached an agreement in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.The cavalry under the sultan's subordinates were handed over to Xiao Zhengchun with [-] cavalry as a dowry for the princess.At the same time, Sudan, as the trading partner of the Li family and Lin Kun, enjoys agency rights in this area.Use population, horses, jewelry, gold, etc. in exchange for various commodities produced in Nanzhong.For a time, great joy goes without saying.

However, after these two guys landed on the East African continent with a group of wolves and tigers, with Lin Kun's professional eyes, they suddenly felt like a mouse had fallen into the granary!

Looking around, all of them are women with extremely long legs and extremely tall backs. Although the skin is darker, the skin feels good to the touch!

Thus, Lin Kun and Xiao Zhengchun ate their way through the butcher's gate on this vast land.

Decades later, a new nation appeared on this land.

This is something to say, needless to say.
