Chapter 109 The new official Chen Shaozai
Before Chen Zhenghui went north this time, Yang Yingqi also revealed some tones, he privately speculated, guessed that Yang Yingqi would probably keep him to serve in southern Liaoning, so he made arrangements before this departure, not only prepared for the affairs of the liuqiu, but also brought a lot of officials and guests. After officially setting up a government office in Liuqiu, he selected talents from the original official system of Jinmen and the graduates of the Guanning School - the former were mostly officials he had recommended to the north before, and the latter were more subordinate to Li Jiemen, and Chen Zhenghui was handy in commanding. In addition, many of the scribes who had accompanied Yang Yingqi to inspect and seek were also assigned to serve under him.
Chen Zhenghui's public title to the Dajin court was the "hereditary Meng'an of the Han Dynasty", and his authority was to help this marquis manage his private property at sea - that is, a deputy butler of Zhe Yanchong, not a courtier of the Dajin court. But in fact, the scope of this assistant butler's authority is a bit terrifying! Yang Yingqi scratched on the map and said with a smile: "All the uncivilized islands on the sea are the world of Brother Zhenghui." ”
Chen Zhenghui was originally a little worried that Yang Yingqi would put him in the air, but who knew that the power given to him by Yang Yingqi was far greater than he imagined, and he did not interfere much in his daily government affairs, reflecting great trust.
Yang Pu and Zhang Hao were a little angry in private when they saw Chen Zhenghui so powerful, and Yang Yingqi noticed that he went to do the work of these Bohai scholars, and held several poetry parties to help Chen Zhenghui gain a firm foothold in Jinmen.
For all this, it is impossible to say that Chen Zhenghui has no feelings for this at all. But he didn't say anything, just did things silently. However, after coming to Jinmen, Chen Zhenghui never made other small moves behind Yang Yingqi's back except for fulfilling some agreements between him and Ouyang Shi.
After taking office, our Chen Shaozai not only took care of daily affairs and brought the maritime affairs yamen to the track, but also focused his main efforts on immigrating to the Mayi Islands and purging pirates.
Since the opening of the port of Jinmen, the problem of piracy in the East China Sea has become increasingly serious with the prosperity of trade routes. Ouyang Shi's main energy in the past few years has been placed here. But in the age of sailing, the fleet was too weak to control the vastness of the sea. It is simply impossible to rely on hundreds or thousands of sails to clean up thousands of miles of sea! Therefore, what Ouyang Shi can do is to defeat the pirates who may become a climate, absorb the pirate forces that can abide by the discipline of the Han Department to become the new blood of the Han Navy Division, and then use various coercion, restraint, provocation, discord, rebellion and other means to suppress the power of the pirate fleet below the power of the merchant fleet. It can be said that in the matter of purging piracy, political means are more important than military means!
In the past few years, with the efforts of Ouyang Shi, the military, business, and bandit forces in the East China Sea have become balanced, there are more pirates, and the Han naval army and the merchant private army are also increasing, and the latter can suppress the former and control the overall situation, so the East China Sea trade route is generally unimpeded. The Anping rule of the Han people on the peninsula and Liuqiu also allowed most of the coastal residents to live - which reduced the desire of the seafarers to enter the sea as pirates from the upper reaches. However, the turmoil in the southeast of the Great Song Dynasty has disrupted this pattern!
The Fangla Rebellion devastated six prefectures and 52 counties in the Great Song Dynasty, and 2 million civilians were killed. The number of refugees who have not been killed but who have been forced to leave is even more difficult to count. Most of the refugees who poured into the East China Sea were taken by Han ships to Liuqiu, Mayi and other places, but a small number of rebellious people took the opportunity to become pirates! Among them, there is nothing that gives Ouyang Shi a headache than Song Jiang, who first surrendered and then rebelled!
This great bandit who rampaged through Shandong and plundered ten counties was defeated by Zhang Shuye, a famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty. Thirty-six well-known bandit leaders gave Uncle Zhang a fire that burned his fighting spirit, and he was either killed or injured. Song Jiang wanted to surrender at that time, but Wu Jialiang persuaded: "I often hear that the situation of the Han Department in the East China Sea is extraordinary, and they seem to be from inferior backgrounds, not as pedantic as the imperial court. Instead of going to the imperial court, it is better to go to the Han department! Several core brothers agreed, and this group of people fled at night, found an old sea ship in Huainan, and went around and around to really let them meet the sailors of the Han Department! Song Jiang expressed his sincerity to Ouyang Shi at the moment, Ouyang Shi saw that they were all majestic, and he had the intention to let them form a team, who knew that Yang Yingqi knew the news from somewhere, and he would definitely transfer all these people to Jinmen to meet!
The Water Margin people were worried in their hearts, and when they came to Jinmen, Yang Yingqi kept asking after seeing them: "Which one is Zhiduoxing?" Which one is the head of the leopard? Which one is the Blue-Faced Beast? Which one is the Nine-Striped Dragon? Asked two dozen people dumbfounded. They didn't know that Yang Yingqi didn't have any utilitarian ideas when he transferred them, but just wanted to see with their own eyes these "famous" fantasy characters in his dreams.
After General Xiao Yang's enthusiasm was three, he immediately considered things rationally, observed secretly, and felt that it was too inappropriate for this group of people to get together, so he ordered them to disperse, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, Xu Ning, Suo Chao, Dong Ping and others were assigned to Cao Guangbi's Liaokou army to obey orders, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen went to Wuming's Zen Martial Arts Academy to teach martial arts, Yan Qing stayed by his side, and the rest of Song Jiang, Yang Zhi, Li Jinyi, Wang Xiong, Chai Jin, Zhang Qing, Li Ying, Mu Heng, Guan Sheng, Sun Li, Wu Jialiang, Liu Tang, Ruan Jin, Ruan Tong, Ruan Xiaoqi, Du Qian, Zhang Cen and others sent it back to Ouyang Shi on Liuqiu Island.
Lin Chong and others were originally officers of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was a wish to serve in the Liaokou Army. Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and Yan Qing couldn't make any waves when they stayed in Jinmen, only Song Jiang and Wu Yong and others were very depressed, thinking that they didn't come from thousands of miles to the north, and after they were separated, they didn't come from thousands of miles to the south.
These people are worthy of being famous thieves in ancient and modern times, and all of them have extraordinary talents! Although the place of activity shifted from land to sea, it didn't take long to get used to it, and the bandit art of war was used in the wind and waves, and some pirate veterans who were familiar with the sea routes were absorbed, and Ouyang Shi, who wanted to catch up with the chickens and monkeys, spent several months but failed to wipe them out, and finally only with the cooperation of Chen Zhenghui forced this group of people to the Dongying Islands.
After Song Jiang and others rebelled, Lin Chong in Liaokou and Yan Qing in Jinmen were greatly disturbed. They are in the guest land, and if the head of the Han tribe wants to kill them, it is a sentence of kung fu! Fortunately, Cao Guangbi admired Lin Chong and the others' martial arts, and Yang Yingqi also liked Yan Qing's exquisite tangram very much, and appeased them respectively, which made them settle down.
On this day, Yan Qingfeng heard that Song Jiang and others were forced to go to Japan, and came to see Yang Yingqi, hoping that Yang Yingqi would allow him to go to Zhao'an.
Yang Yingqi asked, "Are you going to leave me?" If you want to leave, just tell me, no excuses. I think you are a good man, young and young, not deep in ink, so I left you by my side, if you want to go, I will send you some entanglement to do business, and it is also considered to be our friendship between guests and hosts, don't be a robber anymore. ”
Yan Qing said gratefully: "Seventh General, Xiao Yi didn't mean that!" I really hope to contribute to the Han Department. If Song Gongming's brother is recruited, he will repay the kindness of the seven generals, and secondly, he will also pay respect. ”
Yang Yingqi groaned: "I originally wanted Song Jiang and them to serve in Nanyang, where the sea and the sky are vast, and they have their own careers waiting for them!" Who knew that they themselves were suspicious, and I didn't expect it! As for saying that you go to the book to recruit An, then you don't have to. First, I am reluctant to let you go because the sea route is dangerous, and secondly, they are now far away in the country of Wa and happy, and they may not listen to your special return to surrender and be restrained! In this case, you write them a letter, and I will send someone to send it, and at the same time pass me a promise: as long as they do not go out of the waters of the Japanese archipelago, and do not offend the merchant ships related to our Han tribe, we will not exterminate them all. As long as they are in awe of the Hanbu, I can even allow the merchant ships to do business with them. ”
Yan Qing was getting shallow in the Han Dynasty, and he didn't have much hope before he came to intercede, and he was even mentally prepared for disaster, Yang Yingqi was already overjoyed to reply to him like this, and quickly thanked him.
Yang Yingqi smiled: "Don't be so polite. I fell in love with you, and I liked it at first sight! Well, I have an important letter to the Tiger Princess, do you dare to go to Huining? ”
Yan Qing is overjoyed! Yang Yingqi sent him to send a letter to the princess, which was intended to accept him as a confidant, and hurriedly agreed.

Note: Regarding the characters of the Water Margin, the romance is too strong and exaggerated, and the official history is too brief. Ah Bo admires Shi Da very much, so borrowing a few characters to go through the scenes will not affect the development of the main story. to smell.
