Pingzhang of Fujian Province and the coastal envoy of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong, historically held an official position held by Pu Shougeng. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, Quanzhou was the largest maritime trade city, and was often harassed by pirates, so Pingzhang of Fujian Province often served as the coastal envoy of the three provinces and the promotion of the city's shipping department.

In history, Pu Shougeng also had an official position promoted by the city secretary. Although Li Luo did not get the promotion of the city, his power was already very heavy.

The coastal control envoy is in charge of maritime security in the waters of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces, and controls the sailors of the three provinces. It's just that the water division of the three provinces is now abolished, and there are not many water divisions for Li Luo.

Cui Xiuning knew that Li Luo had obtained the most satisfactory official position, and his big eyes were happy and he smiled crookedly.

The harvest of the battle for the sun was too great. Not to mention the rest, just talking about these two official positions can make Li Luo the emperor of Fujian. What's more, Fujian and Haidong are only separated by a strait, and the sea route can be reached in one day with a tailwind, and the countercurrent is two days at most, so it is very convenient to go back and forth.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about the Yuan court discovering Haidong.

When you use this official position to dig up enough population resources, you will really have the capital to raise troops and fight for hegemony.

Everything, for the sake of the population!

Cui Xiuning covered the hand warmer on his stomach, and smiled without powder, "Fujian Province has a population of more than 4 million, of which it is estimated that there are at least 560,000 displaced people. There are also Zhejiang refugees in northeast Fujian, Jiangxi immigrants in northwest Fujian, and Guangdong refugees in southwest Fujian. ”

Li Luo stroked the official seal in his hand, "So, can you immigrate more than 100,000?" ”

Cui Xiuning shook his head, "More than a million don't have to think about it, it's impossible." With the current level of development in Haidong, it can't support so many people. I estimate that digging five or six hundred thousand will reach the sky, and I will have to dig slowly. If it's too much and too fast, it will definitely be exposed. ”

Li Luo calculated, "Let's calculate it according to 500,000, the homeless people are mainly young and strong, and you can get 60,000 soldiers by drawing one out of four." At present, our Tang State has a total of 55,000 navy and army, plus 60,000, less than 120,000 soldiers. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "The Yuan army has more than one million, and 120,000 soldiers rebelled, which is indeed too weak and has a great possibility of defeat. Unless, there are more than thirty percent of the firearms soldiers who carry the Mongolian iron cavalry. ”

Li Luo frowned: "That is, thirty or forty thousand pure firearms soldiers are needed, with the current technical conditions of Haidong, can it be done within a year?" ”

Cui Xiuning smiled dumbly, "What you think is so beautiful, how is it possible?" Even if you have enough raw materials, you can't do it. The current metallurgical technology is too backward to be greatly improved by two modern people. Let's talk about the barrel, Haidong is now forged and welded into a pipe with wrought iron sheets, which is already my best way. ”

Li Luo said: "Isn't it okay to cast the barrel of the mold?" ”

Cui Xiuning shook his head: "No." Such a cast barrel cannot be forged, and it cannot solve the problem of bubbles and sand holes at all. The high rate of explosion is scary, and the reliability is very poor. Do you dare to use such a firecracker? Modern technology is so developed that they dare not use the casting method to make a barrel, let alone ancient times. ”

"Okay. I don't read much. Li Luo spread his hands, he really didn't understand this, "Then according to your current method, how many firecrackers can be produced in a year?" ”

Cui Xiuning had already calculated it and replied directly: "With Haidong's craftsmen, there are up to 500 pieces a month and a maximum of 6,000 pieces a year." If you add bayonet slots, you can do it at most 5,000 a year, and you can't do more. However, the quality is assured. Samples are out. ”

Li Luo said: "I have captured a lot of Japanese blacksmiths, can't they help?" ”

Cui Xiuning was speechless, "Husband, they've already been counted!" If you don't add them, there are not 3,000 a year. Do you think flintlock pistols are easy to make? A flintlock spring alone would take a locksmith several days. ”

Li Luo was a little confused, "It's just a spring, isn't it okay for a blacksmith?" Why a locksmith? ”

Cui Xiuning said: "The elasticity of the blacksmith is too poor to meet the requirements. Now only a locksmith can do the job. There weren't many locksmiths in the first place. However, I have already asked the locksmiths to take their apprentices. ”

"What about artillery?" Li Luo asked again.

Cui Xiuning said: "Use the iron core copper body as the cannon barrel." A small copper mine was discovered before, and copper is being smelted. The barrel is thicker, and it is possible to use the casting method. But let's do it, Shen. It's okay to use on a ship, but it's not good to be on land, but it's not flexible enough. ”

"A light cannon with a three-pound bullet, weighing four hundred pounds, needs a mule and a horse to pull it. A ten-pound cannon, weighing two thousand catties, requires several mules and horses to pull it. Coupled with the delivery of ammunition, the pressure of transportation is great. ”

"These two cannons haven't been built yet. Now only one sample of a small cannon has been made, firing a pound of lead bullets the size of an egg, weighing less than 200 catties, and two people can carry it away. In fact, it is a kind of big gun, and the firing range is only more than 200 meters, which is dozens of meters longer than the range of the musket. ”

Li Luo hugged Cui Xiuning and kissed him, "Not bad, it's already good." This kind of firearm can at least be used to control the charge of the Mongolian iron cavalry. Don't be in a hurry, let's take our time and engage in more craftsmen. When we have tens of thousands of firearms, we'll turn against the damn. ”

Cui Xiuning glanced at him, "You take it easy, don't let our family of three end up being executed." ”

Li Luo touched her high bulging belly, "How can it?" It's just defeated, let's run to the South Seas, and the bad uncle can still bite us? ”

"Huh." Cui Xiuning was speechless, "If you fight a war in the mainland and lose, will you still have a chance to escape from the sea?" Are you a birdman? Got wings? ”

"Who do you say is a birdman?"

"You! Birdman! ”

"Okay, you talk about it, and then you will be tortured to death!"

"I'll go! Oops, oops, giggles, don't say it, don't say it... Giggles..."

…………

Before leaving Dadu, Li Luo made a concert, in the name of the military conquest of the army, recommended Luo Yu, a thousand sailors in Ninghai Prefecture, as the ten thousand households of Fujian sailors.

Because Luo Yu did have a lot of credit, Yuan Ting immediately played it.

Luo Yu is now completely pulled on the ship by Li Luo. Even his family members were also transferred to Haidong. Let him serve as the Fujian Navy Master Wanhu, which can help Li Luo more firmly grasp the power of the Navy Division.

When Cui Xiuning arranged the business of the Dadu Branch of the Special Investigation Bureau, the two left Dadu together and went to Fujian by sea to take office.

Before leaving, Li Luo still went to see Zhang Sanfeng once.

Zhang Sanfeng was very happy about Li Luo's implementation of "changing God into Taoism" in Japan, and he already regarded Li Luo as a backbone figure in defending Taoism. He hinted to Li Luo that he would do his best to speak for Li Luo in the court.

Of course, Li Luo didn't forget to visit Dr. Yu Shi to get out of agreement. He admired Li Luo very much, and told Li Luo to govern Fujian well and let go of his hands and feet.

Because he had to make some preparations, it was not until the twenty-second day of the first month that Li Luo arrived at Quanzhou, the seat of governance in Fujian Province.

Since Quanzhou was broken by Chen Daju and the Wa, it was built by the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty for more than half a month, and then it was recaptured by the Yuan army.

But because it is the capital of maritime trade, it is still very prosperous.

As soon as Li Luo's guard of honor arrived at the city, he immediately alarmed the officials of the provinces in Quanzhou City, such as Dalu Huachi, Fuyin, and Wanhu in Quanzhou. Everyone went out of the city to greet them as soon as possible and saluted the guard of honor.

"Youcheng Ha has only seen Pingzhang officials!"

"Zuo Cheng Saple has seen Pingzhang officials!"

"Wanhu Hulu Timur has seen Pingzhang officials!"

"Quanzhou Mansion Yin Zhang Ke Timur has seen Pingzhang officials"

"Quanzhou Mansion Daru Hua Chi Ha Dali has seen Pingzhang officials!"

……

Li Luo was wearing a brand-new purple Sun Fu official robe, with a jade belt around his waist and a dagger inlaid with precious stones. Wearing a square corrugated hat inlaid with pearls and jade, coupled with the front and back hugs, it is the style of a high-ranking official.

"Colleagues, excuse me! Li Luo, the main hall, Qin ordered to govern Fujian! This is the letter of the parish's confession, colleagues, check it according to the law. Li Luo sat upright and said.

Immediately, there were pro-soldiers holding the letter of confession and showing it to everyone one by one.

It's just a matter of routine. When a new official arrives at office, he must show his official identity to his colleagues and verify his official status. The body is written in both Mongolian and Chinese languages to ensure that they can be understood.

Koreans?

Several senior officials saw that the notice was written on the "Goryeo Inju Li Family", and they were immediately unhappy. They are either Mongols or nobles, and when they see a Korean as their superior, where will they be convinced?

But soon, they remembered who Li Luo was. It turned out to be Li Luo, who won the great victory in the east and was named the Duke of Jianghua County.

The Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to military merits, and thinking that Li Luo had made great contributions, several senior officials immediately put away their contempt.

Li Luo looked at the expressions of several people, where did he not know what they were thinking? Hmph, if you're honest, that's it. If you are not honest, there are ways to rectify you.

The squad leader must have the authority of the squad leader.

Li Luo rode into the city first, several carriages followed, and hundreds of guards hugged each other, passing by in the eyes of the onlookers, which was really unexpected.

When everyone came to Pingzhang Mansion, the middle door had already been opened, and Li Luoang entered, directly entered the "Pingzhang Hall", and sat down honestly and unceremoniously.

Yan Falcon and the other guards on the left and right immediately lined up on both sides, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Pingzhang official, it's almost dusk now, why don't you eat first? I'll wait for the big officials to pick up the wind and wash the dust. Quanzhou Governor Yin Zhangke Timur said.

This person is a Han Chinese, and he adds "Timur" to his name, of course, to flaunt his heart to Dayuan. Of course, Li Luo is never qualified to laugh at Zhang Ke, because isn't he also Li Luoha's unflowering?

Li Luo sneered and said in "noble" Mongolian language: "When I came, the great Khan told me that Fujian has become a place for pirates to have fun, and a safe haven for thieves. They recklessly ate sheep on the land of Fujian, and then threw the sheep bones in the faces of the Fujian officials! ”

Why did Li Luo want to get off the horse first? Because otherwise, it is impossible to establish a number one signboard. Even, it will be overhead.

As soon as the Pingzhang officials came, they turned their faces and exerted their authority, which surprised the Fujian officials in the hall.

Especially the right and left Cheng of Zheng Erpin, one Mongolian official, the other is a Semu official, they are all court officials with roots, but they are not ordinary officials, where can they stand this?

"Pingzhang official, this official also met the Great Khan a year ago, but the Great Khan didn't say that to this official." Right Cheng Ha only sneered and pushed back.

He is a Mongolian nobleman, the root of Wanhu Nayan, what is he afraid of? He didn't believe what Li Luo could do to him. Hmph, this Great Yuan Dynasty is the Great Yuan of the Mongols.

Zuo Cheng Sapler also said with an unhappy face: "Pingzhang official, this is over, right?" Even if the Great Khan says so, what does it have to do with me? ”

Except for the right and left, the other officials did not come out, and the gods fought, and they couldn't do it.

Li Luo looked at these two deputies and sneered in his heart, you really jumped out.

He's not stupid, if he's not prepared, how can he get into trouble as soon as he comes? Cui Xiuning's Special Investigation Bureau has been established for two years and has become the most professional intelligence agency in this era.

It can be said that the special inspection bureau has done all its homework in the civil and military affairs above the third grade in Fujian.

Li Luo said angrily: "Presumptuous! Hello, are you questioning the main parish? Hmph, the Great Khan is very dissatisfied with you! The last time Aru was removed from his post without spending any crimes, didn't you have the slightest to do with it! The Great Khan asked the church to strictly rectify Fujian, regardless of the officials and the people, and rectify it as one! The prince also said, those who are unfavorable to suppress bandits will be investigated! Those who provoked the civil rebellion, investigate and deal with it! Ignorant and incompetent, investigate! ”

"In the past two years, first Chen Hangyan rebelled, then the female thief Xu rebelled, then the pirates broke Quanzhou, and even the pseudo-Song Dynasty was restored in Quanzhou! This is not over, the last million imperial taxes were robbed, five court officials were killed, and the remnants of the Song Dynasty sailors came and went freely, and repeatedly went ashore to harass! What are you waiting for? ”

"Is this Fujian Province still my Dayuan's Fujian Province? Ha Gang, this hall asks you, how did the anti-thief Xu clan know the route and time of the robbery of the imperial tax? Huh? You leaked it, right? ”

Ha Lu only looked stunned, and then snorted coldly: "You dare to slander me!" Li Luo, if you don't make it clear today, this official must play a copy of you! ”

Li Luo stood up with his hands behind his back, went down to the hall and came to Ha Lu, looking into his eyes, "Ha Lu, you are so bold, do you know who your concubine is?" She's a female thief under the Xu family, you know? You leaked the route and time of the imperial tax to Beijing, did you know? ”

Ha Luo's expression changed drastically, and there was only one voice in his heart: How does Li Luo know!

The concubine was accepted more than half a year ago, not only beautiful, but also very smart, and he learned Mongolian language quickly, he liked it very much, and gradually, he just began to let her help him deal with some official business.

Who knew that some time ago, this woman left a letter without saying goodbye, saying that she was a subordinate of the Xu family, and she was originally sent to assassinate her, but she couldn't bear to do it, so she had to leave.

But immediately afterwards, the imperial tax was robbed, and several officials and the officers and soldiers escorted were all killed. Ha Lu only knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he was always uneasy. Because, that concubine had read the official document about escorting the imperial tax to Beijing.

He would never know that the concubine was not a female thief Xu's subordinate at all, but a female spy carefully cultivated by the Special Investigation Bureau, that is, the "Nanxiu" in the five shows of "East, West, South, South, and Central".

Nanxiu was originally a woman in the dust, and Li Luo got it when he was in Daru Huachi in Ninghai Prefecture. After being trained by Cui Xiuning for half a year, Nanxiu infiltrated the Ha Gangster Mansion and stole a lot of secrets.

"The official doesn't know what you're talking about, hmph, if you don't make it clear today, the official will definitely join you!" Although Ha Lu is weak-hearted, his attitude is still very tough.

Anyway, the slut has already run away, and there is no witness, what can Li Luo do with himself?

Li Luo sneered, "Okay, then this hall will let you see and understand." Come! ”

"In!"

The guards thundered in response.

"Bring a witness!"

"No!"

Soon, a man with colored eyes was escorted in, and it was clear that he had been in the carriage of Li Luo's convoy.

As soon as he saw this man, his face suddenly turned extremely pale. Isn't this the Ojoudin he sent to the beach salt pans a few days ago to collect taxes? Ojoudin is his confidant butler, how did it fall into the hands of Li Luo?

"Dog minion! How are you here! Ha Lu only shouted, a little panicked, because after the concubine escaped, he had asked Oruudin to lead people to chase him around, and Oruudin knew that the woman was a spy of the Xu faction, and also knew that she had leaked the news of the imperial tax.

Therefore, Ojoudin is also an insider, that is a human witness.

"Master, I'm sorry, the matter has come to this, for the sake of the court, the old slave only has to tell the truth." Ojoudin said.

He couldn't help it. A few days ago, he was collecting taxes in the salt field and was suddenly arrested by Li Luo, the new Pingzhang. Li Luo told him that after receiving a report, he was rampant in the salt factory, which aroused public anger several times, so he should be punished.

Of course, he had to move out of his master. Who knew that Li Luo immediately asked him, and he only had no law. As long as he confesses to his illegal deeds, he will be spared.

Then, he was thrown to Li Luo's subordinates (spies), tortured, and kept forcing his concubine to leak the imperial tax documents.

When the matter was revealed, the agents stopped torturing him. In the end, Li Luo told him again that he had betrayed him, and he had only one way to die. But as long as he bites to death and says that he takes the initiative to expose him, he will have a way to live and ensure that he is safe and sound in the end.

The reason why Li Luo did this was to "take the initiative to expose" Ha Luo's mouth through Ojoudin's mouth. Let Ojoudin become a witness, so that the Yuan court can remove the domineering and greedy Ha Gangster.

Ha Lu is only a second-rank officer, and once his matter is stabbed to the Yuan Court, the Yuan Court Criminal Department will definitely interrogate Orudin. But if Ojuddin bites to death and takes the initiative to expose the lawlessness to Pingzhang, he will have a way to live, and he will even have merit.

To sue the master as a slave, it is generally necessary to hit dozens of boards first. But if it is related to the interests of the imperial court, it is different.

How will Ojoudin choose? Of course, he can only say that he took the initiative to expose it, so that he can still have a way to live.

After all, he didn't take the initiative to leak secrets, and he said that he colluded with the anti-thieves, which definitely didn't count. But at least he is deaf and incompetent, dereliction of duty and negligence, although he will not be punished too severely by the Yuan court, but his official position will definitely not be kept.

Li Luo's purpose is to remove this strong deputy. Otherwise, this flat chapter of oneself is just an ornament.

"Ojudin, how did you take the initiative to expose it to the parish, how can you talk about it." Li Luo said very gently, "Don't be afraid, you are also for the imperial court, this hall will make the decision for you." ”

"Wow!" Ojoudin knew that he couldn't turn back, so he might as well be at the mercy of Pingzhang.

"Pingzhang officials, all officials, the concubines of the right officials, are anti-thieves! Many secrets of the government of the DPRK and China were stolen by her. The annual imperial tax of this province and the route of escorting to Beijing are different, and the time is also different. This was originally a government secret. ”

"But such an important official document, the right official actually let the thief see it. As a result, the thieves were ambushed on the road, more than one million yuan of tax revenue was robbed, and hundreds of officers and soldiers and several officials were killed. Afterwards, the right official knew that the matter was related to him, but he concealed it and did not report it, deceiving the court! ”

The villain really couldn't stand it anymore, so he persuaded the right official to take the initiative to admit his mistake to the court and make meritorious contributions. But the right official didn't listen at all, and whipped the villain fiercely. ”

After Ojoudin finished speaking, he unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his body full of scars, "This is what the right official knows about whipping." ”

In fact, these injuries were inflicted by the spies, and they have nothing to do with Ha Gang.

What the? What did he say?

He only listened, and his whole body trembled with anger. You dog minion, when did you persuade me? Do you dare to persuade me? Besides, did I scourge you with the wounds you have done?

Shameless dog minion!

The old eyes of the angry were dizzy, and he wanted to kill Ojoudin on the spot.

"Dog minion! I'll kill you! He couldn't help but pull out the dagger at his waist and pounce on Ojoudin.

"Stop! Take! Li Luo gave an order, and several guards immediately rushed up and snatched the dagger from Ha Luo.

Ha Yan gasped for breath, like an angry beast, constantly struggling and roaring. He was also a well-known Mongolian warrior back then, but now that he is over fifty years old, his qi and blood have declined, and he is easily controlled by Yan Falcon and others.

At this time, the person he hated most was not Li Luo, but the shameless minion Orudin.

"Dog minion, I must slaughter you like a lame wild dog!" Ha Hao only said viciously, not like a second-grade master at all.

Ojudin was also frightened when he saw that Ha Lu only wanted to eat himself alive, so he simply said in his heart: "Master, don't blame me, it was you who were unfaithful first. Does the master remember the events of more than 20 years ago? At that time, you were still a thousand households, but you took the initiative to write a letter to Ali Buge to surrender, and it was a letter sent by a slave! Are you loyal to the Great Khan? ”

"You...... Dog minion! "Ha Lu was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

Li Luo smiled, "Someone is here, in the mansion of the right official, there may be spies!" Take it all in one and interrogate it carefully! ”

"No!" The guards took the arrows and went to the mansion to get people. Ojoudin must not be the only one who knows about the "spy incident", there are many witnesses, and only this boat has capsized.

Li Luo continued: "Right official, if you are wronged, this hall will definitely seek justice for you. But right now, it's not your time to deal with official business. Someone came, temporarily received the seal letter of the right official, and suspended the order of the right minister's office. ”

"Right official, the beginning and end of this matter, the hall is impartial, and will truthfully play the Great Khan and the court. Let's wait for the will! ”

Li Luo has no right to remove him from his official position, and at most he will be temporarily suspended and placed under house arrest for a short time. In the end, it was up to Kublai Khan to decide.

Ha Luo's face was only ashen, the corrugated hat on his head was crooked, he broke free of the control of Li Luo's personal guards, and said coldly to Li Luo: "Pingzhang official, you won." The official will petition the court to the Great Khan. Hmph, I hope you do a good job with this flat chapter. ”

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the festival hall.

Li Luo pulled out the arrow, "Where are the Jietang Guards?" ”

"In!" A color-eyed general came out to answer the order.

"Now that the province is restless, transfer 300 soldiers and horses to protect the right official mansion. Before the holy decree comes down, the right official is not allowed to leave the palace gate for a single step! ”

"Wow!" The soldiers and horses led by the generals belong to the Jietang Protector Army, and they only obey the orders of Pingzhang political affairs. It is equivalent to the governor standard army of later generations.

When the officials saw that even Youcheng, who was second only to Pingzhang, had been brought down, they were all frightened. They never imagined that Li Pingzhang's dismount would be so powerful.

Even the third-in-command, Zuo Cheng Sappler, was also uneasy and no longer had his previous momentum.

Li Luo glanced at Sappler, and said in his heart that he would not move you today. lest two deputies be moved as soon as they come, which will make people look sideways. Let's let you get away for a while.

"Ascension!" Li Luo sat back on the festival hall case again.

PS: It's late tonight, so it's late, sorry.
