Chapter 1037 Kind Chen Lin

"You bastard, if it's New Year's Eve, you'll come here to make a fuss. If it wasn't for the generosity of my family's commander, Yuanmen will kill you directly!"

Outside the naval admiral's office on the shore of Bai'e Lake in Guangzhou City, several officers and soldiers cursed and shoved a young man. The young man was wearing a short brown skirt, and while being pushed staggeringly, he turned his head and begged bitterly:
"Several vice-lords, please let Xiaomin go to meet the commander-in-chief. There are tens of thousands of people in Luzon, and tens of thousands of people have been killed by Fanren. The court can't control it, and can't look at the tens of thousands of Ming people. Just like that, he was killed by a fan!"

After a few words, the young man was already crying. Fortunately, it was in front of the Navy Admiral's Office, which was regarded as an important place for military secrets, and ordinary people dare not approach it. The outer layer is surrounded by three layers.

Hearing these tens of thousands of people, the officers and soldiers pushing the young people also slowed down. An older soldier sighed and said:
"Brother, this is just the admiral of the Guangdong Navy, and he can't control the affairs of Lu Song. Besides, even the governor of Zhaoqing can't control the affairs with foreigners. Let's go, let's go, you just don't care. New Year, let us have a few New Year's Eve."

Having said all this, the young man was discouraged all of a sudden, stopped struggling, and stumbled away, muttering in his mouth:

"Omg. Omg"

****************
Admiral of the navy is also the rank of the commander in chief. According to the past rules, the yamen of the admiral of the Guangdong navy is located in the city, so everything is convenient and happy.

Since Chen Lin arrived at this location, in order to facilitate the connection with the navy station, the government office was placed outside the city. Although this Baietan is also a prosperous place, after all, it is in the camp, and it has gained a reputation for diligence.

However, there are also people who secretly say that Chen Lin is smart. Baietan is the place where businessmen come to Guangzhou from the Pearl River to do business. The prosperity is not inferior to that of the city. Getting rich is really smart.

Chen Lin is really not the kind of official that is common in this era. He is indeed interested in the navy, and he has devoted himself to it. Since he took this position, the deduction of military pay has been reduced a lot, and the ships are refurbished as much as possible. , The drills of the soldiers are also on the right track.

The governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, the governors of Guangdong, and the chief envoys all praised this point. Guangdong is rich and prosperous, and they are willing to allocate money, and the embezzlement is less than other places. No matter how you say it, everyone has good military training. Light.

When Qi Jiguang was the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, he also supported Chen Lin a lot. Before leaving, he even recommended to the imperial court to let Chen Lin be the commander-in-chief of the province, and Chen Lin was really a special case.

According to what outsiders think, Chen Lin has been promoted step by step, and what he does is what he likes to do, so he must live happily, but the soldiers who follow Chen Lin know that his general is not like this.

In Chen Lin's inner house, there are many albums brought from Macau, and he even sends people to copy and depict them regularly. The paintings are all Western ships. It's the main content, I'm always watching it, and when I watch my own navy fleet, I'm frowning.

In the past year, I have been much happier, because Mai Guerrilla in Tianjin Wei has ordered three gunboats for the Guangdong Navy at the Sanjiang Shipyard. He said that they can be built in Wanli in 18 years, because the wood for the shipbuilding needs to be in Wanli. It will be ready in the middle of 17 years.

During the day, someone went to the Navy Admiral's Office to file a complaint. This is a joke in the eyes of sensible people. The only way to file a complaint is to go to the civil servants. What's the use here? , but Chen Lin's side has strict rules and is rarely careful. When the soldiers drive people away, he knows it.

After dark, there was still the sound of firecrackers outside. Guangdong is rich and prosperous. This year is not over yet. Chen Lin did not go to have fun. He looked at the models of the western ships in his study, which made people feel at ease. Chen Lin really couldn't put it down when he bought it from Macau.

While fiddling with the room, I heard a report from outside. A soldier in plain clothes walked in. After saluting, he said respectfully:
"Marshal, I have already found out."

Chen Lin nodded, sat on the seat, and the soldiers stepped forward and said:
"I've said it before, this man's surname is indeed Bai, and he claims to be Bai Wu, and he indeed came back from Luzon. His family went to Luzon a long time ago, and he had a family business there for more than 30 years. He also Marrying a wife and having children, this man went back to Daming to buy things, and escaped the catastrophe in Luzon, he spent all his money to find a boat to go back, and he also saw the tragedy at home."

Hearing this, Chen Lin couldn't help sighing, it was indeed a human tragedy, and the soldier said again:

"This man saw the killing of tens of thousands of Han people in Lu Song, and he wanted to take revenge all he wanted. When his family was in Daming, he had no experience. He knew that the commander-in-chief's yamen was in charge of the soldiers. He came here to ask for help. Really."

The person who came to ask for help was Bai Wu. His muddled and reckless behavior, the people in the Admiral's Mansion did not think it was a joke, but felt pitiful. His parents, wife and children all died unexpectedly. It's Yin Yang Mo Lu, and everyone knows that those Han Chinese in Luzon died too badly.

"Do you think our navy's boat can pass?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Lin actually asked this question. The soldier was stunned for a while. He had been with him for a long time. He naturally knew what the Navy looked like. He shook his head repeatedly and said:

"General, it's not a small talk of discouragement. Let's not say that our ship is going to Luzon. It is troublesome to go to Qiongzhou. I am afraid that it has turned over a lot before it reaches the place. Then there are many cannons in Luzon. It will be even more difficult if we go out to sea halfway to meet them."

Chen Lin nodded, but turned to look at the sailboat model on the side, and said in a deep voice:
"I can't control it, and I don't have the ability to control it. Those tens of thousands of people are abandoned people willing to leave their homes, and they are not where our Daming soldiers and horses are guarding."

Speaking of this, the confidant was stunned again, if he didn't want to worry about it, he didn't have to arrange for him to go over to find out the details, but he still lowered his head and didn't say much.

Chen Lin pondered there for a long time before slowly saying:

"Songjiang is opening a port, and there are a lot of people and workers. This Bai Wu can be regarded as a skilled person. In the past, he might be able to make a living."

The cronies quickly agreed yes, but still a little confused, Chen Lin said again:

"Go to the cashier to pay some money, and then find someone to arrange for him to go to Songjiang as soon as possible. It's always in Guangzhou."

"Let's go, little one!"

Being confused, the soldier didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly bowed down, but when he reached the door, he was stopped by Chen Lin, and Chen Lin said with a half-smile:
"Now Liao Guogong is in Songjiang Mansion. He has great rules and is strict in his work. Poor Bai Wu doesn't know the rules. You have to tell everyone what you need to do so that there will be no trouble. Do you understand?"

The soldier was puzzled at first, and then showed an expression of sudden realization, and hurriedly bowed to the end, and hurried out after receiving orders.

When people went out, Chen Lin laughed twice, then the smile faded away, and he still sighed.

****************
The completion of the Songjiang Fu wharf and shipyard is really a big event. The sea was banned several times. The original shipyard in Nanzhili was either abandoned or burned. Ships, but without a shipyard, everyone who wants a ship can only go to Taizhou or even Fujian, or find a local private shipyard.

Although they are used in the same way, it always makes people feel uncomfortable and has various inconveniences. Now that Songjiang Prefecture has a shipyard, and it is still aboveboard, look at those big ships. It must be good to buy one or two for yourself.

Before the start of work here, there are already many people who come to make orders and negotiate business. There are so many unexpected things in Songjiang Mansion. Just after the new year, there are so many new things.

The first thing Shanghai County Magistrate Yang Sichen did when he took office was to clean up the yamen. From the small officials in each house to the police yamen servants below, even if they made a small mistake, they would be blamed and dismissed directly. Wang Tong's prestige is here, everyone I also know that the work will not last long, and I am unwilling, but no one dares to make a fuss, they all obediently obey orders, and Yang Sichen directly replaces the people he trusts, and they are all clever characters in various companies. The government affairs of the yamen are better than being obedient, and you can learn it quickly, so you can use it with confidence.

Tianjin Wei will not open the sea until March. Almost all of Wang Tong's fleet is on the side of Songjiang Prefecture. The most eye-catching, tall hull, soft sails made of thick cloth, and the dozens of cannons on board are all dazzling.

These big ships and cannons represent Wang Tong's power, except for the six hundred guards, this power is even more shocking.
After seeing these gunboats in the two thousand households in Songjiang Prefecture, they all accepted the adaptation obediently and did not dare to complain. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome for an outside Songjiang garrison to integrate them. Of course, these local guards What the soldiers didn't know was that it was easy for Wang Tong's six hundred guards to deal with them, as easy as killing pigs and sheep.

What the guard sees is power, but what some merchants see is profit. These big ships carry a lot of goods, and they don’t have to worry about encountering pirates at sea. It's a [-]% surety out of [-]%. With this big ship, it's [-]% sure.

Since the first month passed, many people have come to Wang Tong's side, wanting to ship goods and give Wang Tong a high dividend. This is also a means to win over the Duke of Liao.

Compared with this fleet, this bank and insurance company have attracted more people's attention. Rich people in the south of the Yangtze River, salt merchants in Lianghuai, and nobles in Nanjing, whose family does not have a large amount of cash.——
