Zhu Kun really didn't expect that he would be promoted to the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, the governor of Zhejiang, although the left political envoy is from the second rank and the right deputy of the Imperial History of the Imperial Court is only the third grade, but the right deputy imperial history is a Beijing official, and it is also a Beijing official of the big yamen like the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the local officials cannot be compared at all.

The governor of Zhejiang is even more terrible, although this position has no grade, but it is better than the first product of the dynasty, and the governor of the feudal territory may be the best in this governor, because the governor of Zhejiang is in charge of the south of the country.

Suddenly promoted to such a big official, Zhu Kun really had no psychological preparation at all, but he had already had an idea about how to exterminate pirates and pirates, otherwise, he would not have been able to play the imperial court.

The officials in the southeast do not know that the reason why pirates and pirates are so rampant is because the four giants of the maritime merchants are behind the back, and the so-called pirates are actually the maritime merchants who belong to the four giants, and it is not difficult to exterminate the pirates and pirates, as long as the maritime merchants under the four giants of the maritime merchants are wiped out, and then all the dens of the Japanese invaders of the Ming Dynasty are wiped out, basically it is almost the same.

However, for so many years, no one dared to do this, because the power of the maritime giants is too big, their power on the southeast coast can be said to cover the sky, and their power above the court is also quite amazing.

These Zhu Kun are quite clear that if it weren't for the resignation of Tu Qiao, the biggest backer of the maritime tycoon, he would not dare to attack other people's ideas.

He also knew that the loss of power of the maritime giants in the DPRK was only temporary, and they would definitely try their best to support a new backer for themselves as soon as possible, and the time was quite urgent, so after he received the appointment, he rushed to Nanzhili as quickly as possible and secretly arranged it.

On the surface, he was just patrolling the guards of the capital of Nanzhili, preparing to mobilize people to encircle and suppress pirates and pirates, but in fact, he selected many loyal and brave guards with innocent backgrounds to infiltrate Zhejiang and Fujian provinces to secretly investigate the maritime forces under the four giants.

These are actually not difficult to check, because the four powerful families are powerful in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, and the maritime merchants under their hands do not need to hide it at all.

Soon, the ninety-six maritime merchants under the hands of the four giants were clearly investigated by him.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered 2,000 elites carefully selected from the guards of Nanzhili to go to Zhejiang and Fujian to prepare to encircle and suppress pirates and pirates.

The governor of Zhejiang is such a big official, and only two thousand elites were dispatched to encircle and suppress pirates and pirates, this thing seems to be a bit funny, is the source of the soldiers of Nanzhili so nervous?

Of course not, there are a lot of soldiers in Nanzhili, and there are no less than 200,000 guards under the Nandu Left-behind Division and the Zhongdu Left-behind Division, plus other guards along the coast, there are at least more than 300,000 guards in Nanzhili.

However, the imperial court has limited funds, and Xia Yan still managed to cut out the food and salary of these two thousand people, and no matter how much more, Xia Yan had no choice.

The Ming Dynasty during this period was so absurd, a corrupt official could be greedy for tens of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels for a few years, and Yan Song's huge greed was "accumulated" hundreds or even tens of millions of taels, but the court just had no money, no money for wars, and no money for disaster relief.

Of course, Zhu Kun understands this situation, if he tries his best to be greedy, it is not a problem to be greedy for tens of millions of taels, but he doesn't want to be greedy, he just wants to exterminate the pirates and pirates as soon as possible.

After he sent his men to Zhejiang and Fujian, he began to implement a strict system of armor protection and joint sitting, strictly prohibiting anyone from going to sea to do business, and at the same time, he also ordered all coastal guards to strengthen coastal defense, train sailors, and prepare to exterminate pirates and pirates.

The so-called system of protecting the armor and sitting together is actually to strictly check the local population according to the Yellow Book of Enlistment, and prohibit the movement of people, once the population does not match the number registered in the Yellow Book of Enlistment, then down to the common people, up to the head of the first and other will be severely punished.

He did this to cut off the roots of "pirates" and make them unavailable, but in this way, it seriously affected local commercial activities, after all, the goods themselves did not have long legs, and if they wanted to buy and sell, they had to turn the goods back and forth.

Therefore, the orders given to him by the local officials are basically all in disobedience, not that these local officials are all in cahoots with the maritime tycoons, but the main thing is that the traders who do business are inextricably linked with them, and if the traders can't do business, then they won't be able to make any money.

The various guards under the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division and the Fujian Metropolitan Division basically don't pay much attention to him, what are you kidding, strengthening coastal defense, don't you need money to train sailors, who will strengthen coastal defense for you if you don't have money, who will train you as sailors, besides, many guards have colluded with maritime giants, let them exterminate pirates and pirates, isn't that letting them smash their own jobs!

In short, basically no one carried out his decree, and everyone didn't believe that he, the governor, could clean up the local snakes of the maritime giants.

If it were an ordinary official, if he did this, the four wealthy families would definitely stuff some silver and let people get out of here, but Zhu Kun, a wealthy maritime businessman, would not dare to do this, because this guy is notoriously honest and honest, and he dared to send him silver, that is looking for death, and he will hand over the silver to the court with people!

Moreover, behind this guy there is also a cabinet chief assistant Xia Yan who also does not enter the oil and salt, these two people are not silver can be leveled, gold is not balanced, they are both models of honoring fame and not profit, bribing people, that is a slap in the face, and they will do this when their brains are in water.

The maritime tycoons can only use their local influence to try to spend with Zhu Kun, hoping to consume this guy.

Can they consume Zhu Kun?

This is obviously wishful thinking, Zhu Kun is not only an honest official, but also a capable official, ordinary officials may have no way to take the four giants, but he has a way.

In fact, he has long ordered people to secretly stare at all the maritime merchants under the hands of the four giants, and as for his order to strengthen the coastal defense and train the sailors, it is true.

However, what should I do if people are also in disobedience?

It's very simple, whoever is disobedient will get rid of whom, the commanders of Zhejiang and Fujian are all Yang Fengyin, he went to the imperial court, removed the commanders of these two places, and replaced them with Lu Bo and Liu Xian, these two are loyal and patriotic generals, naturally they will not disobey his orders, and they are rare fierce generals.

Lu Bo, ancestral home of Henan Runingwei, Jiangmen was born, hereditary Fujian capital commander of the service, his fifth ancestor Lu Bao is a fierce general under Zhu Yuanzhang, several generations are known for their loyalty and bravery.

Liu Xian, whose ancestral home is Nanchang, Jiangxi, was born in Wuju, and accumulated military merits and rose to the command of the capital of Zhejiang, he may not be very famous in history, but his son Liu Wei is a famous general of the Wanli Dynasty of Shenzong.

As soon as these two fierce generals took office, the maritime giants finally smelled the smell of danger, Zhu Kun, this guy, it seems that he is going to play for real!
