After Xiong Wencan left Beijing, he took a boat along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, all the way south to Fuzhou, just took office, in March, the capital reported urgently, he was promoted again, promoted to the right of the capital of the imperial history, governor of Fujian.

The right to the imperial history belongs to the Imperial Court and has the right of impeachment.

This authority is not small, and only with it can it be called a one-handed cover, which can impeach and judge people!

As the governor of the local magistrate, when he returned to the court, he reported his actions to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and became the imperial history of the right capital before he could serve as the governor.

In addition to the political envoy's status in the political envoy, the governor also has the authority to "supervise military affairs", so Xiong Wencan's regime, military power and procuratorial power are in hand, and he has become the first good man in Fujian officialdom.

Obviously, the new emperor ascended the throne and couldn't wait to get political achievements, in his opinion, the old wild boar skin outside the customs is difficult to deal with for the time being, and the people of Fujian are obviously afraid of the imperial court and are easier to deal with.

Xiong Wencan knew the holy will, and he also wanted to do something, so he took a multi-pronged approach!

Actively build strong ships and cannons, don't you rely on the plywood ships of the red hair fan? My Fujian sailor also invited foreigners to build a plywood boat, and it is bigger than the red hairy fan!

Relying on the thickness of the artillery to bully my Fujian Sailor, then we will cast bigger, thicker and more artillery than you, so that you can also taste the bitterness of the previous artillery fire for my Fujian Navy!

I found foreigners, negotiated with them, and asked them to send technicians to prepare to build a large plywood ship.

As a first move, Xiong Wencan spent 20,000 taels of silver to purchase a Dutch-made second-hand plywood ship with 20 guns on it, and the firepower was stronger than any Fujian Navy warship, which greatly boosted the morale of the Fujian Navy Division.

Taking this opportunity, he cleaned up his home, reorganized the Fujian Naval Division, left behind men with strong skills and courage to fight, and cleared out some officers and ruffians who drank the blood of the soldiers and had strong reactions from the sailors, and promoted new blood.

Under the great movement, more than 2,000 people were cleared home, and more than 5,000 people were newly recruited, although the number was smaller than before the war, but more capable.

After that, a reward was issued, officers and soldiers were mobilized, and training began.

As a high-ranking official, he inspected military parades everywhere and greeted the officers and men with great concern and concern.

The effect was good at first, after all, the Fujian sailors held their breath up and down, wanting to seek revenge from the southeast mansion.

If you dare to come to the Governor, how can we, as soldiers, not accompany you!

The military heart is available, Xiong Wencan is very excited, and is ready to compete with the Southeast Mansion.

There was also a major earthquake in the officialdom, which dismissed officials who colluded with the southeast government and had conclusive evidence, and beat other officials.

When the new official takes office, the superior must be on the horse, send a way, Xiong Wencan's words are well-founded, and he appoints Yan Shen, one play is accurate, Fujian Youbu Political Envoy Division, Fuzhou Prefect, plus Fuzhou Wei, Du Si and many other senior officials go to work, and the officialdom atmosphere is new!

The new officials took office one after another, and reported to the southeast government, and the export smuggling behavior was all curtailed, such as the rampant theft of fir in northern Fujian in the southeast government was curbed, and Xiong Wencan sent officials to keep an eye on it, not letting a single piece of wood go to sea!

Prepare for the arrival of foreign technicians and the arrival of the imperial court's ICBC, immediately start building a shipyard, and use fir to build plywood ships to deal with the southeast mansion!

With my big country, I can't deal with a small southeast province?

Xiong Wencan is full of confidence, the so-called knowing the enemy, invincible in a hundred battles, he sent someone to act as the owner and boss of the ship, crossed the sea, and inquired about the news of the Southeast Mansion, but the more he knew, the more surprised he was!

The spies were deeply impressed by the strong fleet of the Southeast Mansion and the affluence of the people, and they described what they had seen and heard to Xiong Wencan, Xiong Wencan was skeptical at first, but even the master beside him was sent out to say the same, and he couldn't help but waver.

"This is not an ordinary enemy, but a strong enemy!"

"Before there is a perfect plan, it is not advisable to start a war with it!"

If he is defeated, it will not be as simple as the resignation of the previous governor Zhu Yifeng, it is likely to be killed!

He is cautious, but the report to the capital can not be written like this, if the boss thinks that you are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, then the time you sit in the position is only a handful.

So he prevaricated that it would take time to train the troops, and he also needed silver to build a new Great Wall on the sea, and he wanted to ask for 500,000 taels of silver in three years!

……

"What, you said that the household department only allocated 50,000 taels of silver?" Xiong Wencan almost couldn't believe his ears, and repeatedly asked a senior staff member who was responsible for going to the "running department to get money".

"Exactly!" The staff said helplessly: "The household department said that there is no money!" ”

Aha, the new emperor ascended the throne and asked for money everywhere, in addition to a large amount of expenses to deal with the old wild boar skin outside the border, he dug his own grave, got rid of Wei Zhongxian, abolished the industrial and commercial tax set up by the eunuch party, and the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan gentry were happy, and even Yan Changwu of the Southeast Mansion gave him a thumbs up! (Southeast Prefecture does not need to pay industrial and commercial tax when shopping in the mainland)

But the Ming Empire has no money!

The northern army lacks salaries, how can it win the war?

The Southern Sailors have no silver, how can they build ships and cannons?

50,000 taels of silver to build a quarter of the third-class battleship of the Southeast Province (the cost of 200,000 taels of silver), and slow, with the corruption of Ming Dynasty officials, can only build one-fifth!

Xiong Wencan is a capable official, he gritted his teeth and decided to go hard, and if there is difficulty, he has to go up, the central government has no money, and the local government spends!

He knew that there was a lot of silver in Yuegang, Fujian, and that people in Fujian who were involved in foreign trade also had more or less silver, and that the local treasury had a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, he drove to the Fujian Domain, and the slip for 50,000 taels of silver was blocked by the experience division that he pulled out single-handedly!

"Do you want a warship or a human?"

Xiong Wencan sighed: "The Southeast Mansion is really blessed by Mazu, and God will not help me Ming!" ”

There is a big drought in Fujian Province!

Especially in southern Fujian, there was a severe drought, and the wild soil was all over the country, and many villages even had their roots and bark eaten.

In fact, it was the bad luck of the new emperor Chongzhen and Daming, the weather during the Xiaoice River was extremely cold, disasters occurred frequently, and God obviously did not give face.

Xiong Wencan could only allocate the treasury silver, buy food, and provide relief to the victims, and there was no way to talk about building warships and artillery.

However, the high price of grain in various places (not exactly the merchants made black money, but the drought and flood locust plagues in various places, and the people have no food), you may not be able to buy food if you have money, and what you can buy is also high price and quality, plus the officials are up and down, the grain sent to the place is a drop in the bucket, there is a lot of gravel, which is to eat grain but to eat soil, the people are in chaos, eat Guanyin soil and peel tree bark for food, the dead body is full of wilderness, and the son eats!

Suddenly, something was reported to the governor's yamen, Xiong Wencan's face changed slightly after hearing this, and finally sat down decadently, waving his hand: "The people have no way to live, let them go!" ”

The southeast government went out to appease 100,000 hungry people from all over Fujian Province to go to Taiwan to reclaim!
