Li Jinglong's Jinghai strategy was not implemented very smoothly, and the local officials, the ten gentry in the townships, and even the Baojiali Zhengmen in the neighborhood all had a bit of a sense of disobedience, but the training of the troops in the guard station was relatively smooth, and the Niu Jing army was more disciplined and easier to manage than the local government. However, if the local combing cannot be carried out as soon as possible, there will be no contact between the common people and the pirates, and only relying on the officers and men of the guard post to go to sea to stop the pirates will have little hope of becoming a purge of pirates, and it will be a hundred times more difficult to deal with the grassland tribes on the sea than on the prairie.

Fortunately, Li Jinglong constantly exerted pressure on officials at all levels, punished a few township guards who were ineffective, and reported to the entire Hangzhou Prefecture, the people below suddenly changed a lot, officials and officials at all levels were all active, more and more illegal ships were confiscated, and the ports and wharves were almost overwhelmed, and the local armor protection system and the continuous sitting system also made the villagers monitor each other and control them tightly, and it was rare to hear the news that anyone was colluding with pirates anymore.

Hearing the good news that kept coming up, Li Jinglong began to become smug.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and within half a month, the guards began to report that the soldiers had no intention of exercising, and they made friends in private, and there were signs of unstable military morale. After inquiring carefully, it was because the families of these officers and soldiers of the guard station had no livelihood, and they received news from their families one after another, and they asked for military salaries to be paid in advance to help their families, and some even changed their children to take leave and secretly ran back to help their families farm and wash slag.

You must know that the officers and soldiers recruited by the coastal guard are all the children of fishermen in the land, the strong men of the coastal people's families, and the main labor force of the family, and now their parents, wives and children have no livelihood, of course they can't be soldiers with peace of mind, and the officials such as the commander of the Hangzhou Weidu are worried about Zhong Zhong and keep coming to Li Jinglong to complain about their grievances.

There must be someone who wants to use this means to sabotage the implementation of the Jinghai strategy, and the soldiers who take the lead in making trouble in the guard are those who have close ties with the pirates, or even their ears. He told Li Jinglong about his analysis, and then rushed to Hangzhou Wei, wanting to follow the vine and use this incident to find out those who were secretly making trouble.

When the army is in chaos, how can you go to sea to suppress bandits?

Not to mention going to sea to suppress bandits, just to suppress and appease and prevent the army from mutiny, this is enough to give Li Jinglong a headache, if he fails to suppress bandits, he first forces his own soldiers, how can Zhu Yuanzhang give him good fruits to eat?

Li Jinglong thought about it repeatedly, a little relieved, and wanted to rush to the guard to see the situation, but before he reached the gate, he let the Xijiang political envoy and a large number of officials from the Hangzhou Mansion block back, these people are all here to complain, complain, and poetry ideas, a large number of people gossip for a long time, Li Jinglong is one head and two big, only to understand a little.

These officials said that there were many problems and they were very miscellaneous, and the political envoy said: Xijiang Mansion is in a depression, there is nothing to sell, there is nothing to buy, and a large number of merchants are sitting on Jia to protest and put pressure on the government; There are difficulties in tax collection, and the coastal people mainly rely on business and slag to pay their taxes, and the land is poor and scarce, which is not the main source of taxes in the coastal areas at all. Due to the economic depression, the number of poor households in various places in need of government relief is increasing, and they need to ask the imperial court for money and food, and now Li Jinglong is the governor of the coastal provinces of Xi, Fujian, and Guangzhou, and he has to sign and nod his head and report this matter to the household department, otherwise if he starves to death or provokes a popular uprising, the consequences will be unimaginable.

According to the Prosecutor's Department, there are constantly boat owners and fishermen who report that their boats have been confiscated, but the government does not pay enough money, so that there are constant conflicts between the government and the people, and various lawsuits emerge one after another, suing the officials, suing the people, and making traps, and so on; Some officials and well-known scholars who have returned to their hometowns have been entrusted by the local government to uphold the will of the people, and are already preparing to impeach Cao Guogong and the officials of the Hangzhou government to the imperial court. At the same time, the crime rate of robbery, theft, and abduction began to skyrocket.

Li Jinglong listened to the hairy heart, he repeatedly promised to solve these problems as soon as possible, and finally calmed down these complaining officials, and then forced a smile to send them out in person, but as soon as they arrived at the gate, they found that these officials could not get out, I don't know how the people of Hangzhou Mansion knew that the officials from all the provinces and provinces had come to Cao Guogong today, and spontaneously gathered together, and surrounded Cao Guogong's line, and the situation was raging, and he asked for his life for the people.

Li Jinglong hurriedly retreated, climbed to a rockery at the highest point in the courtyard, crossed his feet and looked out, only to see a sea of people outside the courtyard, at a glance boiling and boundless, he couldn't help but be a little afraid, and hurriedly called someone to transfer troops to protect the people, in case the people rushed to the mansion impulsively, but who in the mansion can still get out now?

Li Jinglong had no choice but to force the parents and officials of Hangzhou Mansion to come forward to appease the people, and the officials of Hangzhou Mansion had no choice but to come forward in desperation, so as to say bad things, tossing for more than two hours, and finally letting the people disperse one after another.

For more than two hours, he has been standing on the rockery to watch the movement, but the young master Li, who has always been pampered, is tired enough, and he weakly shouted to the little girl who was waiting for him from the Hangzhou government: "Hug the qin, play chess, give the master a leg for me, first make a basin of hot water, ouch, there are blisters on this foot."

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, Li Jinglong opened his throat and shouted again: "Serve the book, enter the painting, make a cup of tea for the master, and take a few small snacks." ”

Still didn't move, Li Jinglong was annoyed, picked up his shoes and ran to the Yahuan room to take a look, the four little girls were sad there, and they didn't know what to say, the four people who dared to love didn't wait outside at all, no wonder they didn't hear his orders.

Li Jinglong's heart of pity for the jade suddenly rose, and he quickly softened his voice and asked the reason why the four girls were sad, but as soon as he heard it, Li Jinglong's face immediately darkened, and he didn't let out three farts, so he wiped his body and left.

What her brother's brig was confiscated by the inspection department, and only then did he give Wuguan money, this boat was originally built from the village Master Zhou in addition to the money, and the account has not been paid off even with interest, and there are eight yuan and four hundred and twenty-eight yuan in arrears alone; What did her father buy a batch of lychees from southern Fujian, because the market was depressed, and Shishen's family was also a little tight, no one bought it, and he saw that it was rotting and spoiling, and he wanted to lose his family. What the......

Isn't this a blockage?

Li Jinglong didn't drink tea, didn't eat snacks, and didn't soak his feet, he went back to the bedroom and lay down on the bed, wondering if this kind of sign was whether the coastal officials reached out to fight back and resist him, and what means could be used to solve these current predicaments.

This time it was not Xia Xun and Su Ying who caused him trouble, but it was a coincidence, and it was not a coincidence to say that it was not a coincidence, because when Xia Xun told Su Ying that Li Jinglong had no time or patience to implement a Jinghai Battle in Hangzhou Mansion for several years, he had already taken into account Zhu Yuanzhang's old age and the factor of returning to heaven this year, but he didn't expect that although Li Jinglong became famous in history because of the Jingyan Battle and became a famous straw bag in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, he was not incompetent to such an unbearable point, and his political sense of smell was also very sensitive. He is also paying close attention to the changes in the overall situation of the DPRK and China.

The family of the Duke of Cao brought Li Jinglong a very disturbing news: the emperor's condition had worsened, and he had fainted twice this month. When Li Jinglong heard the news, he couldn't wait to fly back to Jinling City: whether it was the first emperor Tuogu or the new emperor ascending the throne, the courtiers who appeared by the emperor's side in time always had more political capital than a minister who was nowhere to be seen at the time, but the Hangzhou Mansion was riddled with lawsuits, the so-called suppression of bandits had not been established, and there was no emperor's edict, how could he just leave?

When he was scratching his heart and liver, the guards came to report, Yang Xu and Yang Zongqi came.

Li Jinglong didn't pick his nose and look for Xia Xun's fault this time, he looked at Xia Xun for a long time, and said: "Last time, you told your own country that the thieves on Shuangyu Island want to join forces with us to deal with Chumi Gang and Chen Zuyi on the condition of opening the sea to trade, is this what the thief leader of Shuangyu Island means?" ”

Xia Xun would be so stupid as to leave a handle on him, and said: "Returning to the country, the lowly position is a person in the Jinyi Guard, looking for traces, listening to the news, it is the director of the lowly position, so he can find out their intentions from the mouths of the sea people who are close to Shuangyu Island, but the lowly position has never directly dealt with the Shuangyu pirates, what these sea people fishermen said is true or false, it is still difficult to judge now, and the lowly position was mentioned to the Guogong that day, and it was only for the reference of the Guogong." ”

Li Jinglong sighed a little disappointed, stood up and paced slowly in the hall, and said after a long while: "What news have you inquired about in the past few days, and what is the situation on Shuangyu Island now?" ”

Xia Xun hugged his fists and said: "The Chumi Gang has been loyal to Chen Zuyi and wants to unify the East China Sea, laying the foundation for Chen Zuyi to set foot on land and compete for hegemony in the Central Plains." This Shuangyu Island is the closest to Hangzhou, only more than 100 miles away, it is a natural harbor, the most appropriate bridgehead, so Chen Zuyi is determined to win. However, Dongyu Xiangdao and Chen Zuyi and his ilk are not all the way, the Dongyu group of thieves are mainly smugglers, and have a close relationship with the coastal people, and many of the thieves are coastal fishermen with poor families, so they are unwilling to be in the company of Chen Zuyi and Chumi Gang, who burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil.

However, the strength of the Chumi Gang was not under the Shuangyu Gang, and now with the help of Chen Zuyi, the Shuangyu Gang is difficult to compete with them, and the humble post heard the news that the Shuangyu Gang is negotiating with Chen Zuyi, and it seems that they have the intention of agreeing to join the gang, but now the Shuangyu Gang does not want to give up Shuangyu Island, and Chen Zuyi is determined to win Shuangyu, and he seems to know that the Shuangyu Gang agrees to join the gang with perfunctory intentions, so he has always refused to give up Shuangyu Island, because of this, the two sides are still deadlocked. However, from the humble point of view, Chen Zuyi's soldiers are coming to the city, and the Shuangyu Gang will not be able to hold out for long, perhaps, they will soon compromise. ”

This sentence prompted Li Jinglong to make up his mind, he stood up, pointed at Xia Xun and said: "The prince of my country inherits the emperor's order, and he is eager to suppress bandits." There is no great evil in the Shuangyu Gang, and it may be able to atone for their sins. You immediately contact the Shuangzhi Gang and the thieves, discuss it, and work together to eradicate the Chumi Gang and Chen Zuyi, on the condition that the Duke of China will promise them that they will not be investigated for their inaction of stealing the island and smuggling and selling goods! ”
