Chapter 755: Lin Kun's Reward!
"How can Lin dare to come here and wait here, this is not to torture Lin! Capital crime, capital crime! ”
In Jiang Xin, there were already sharp-eyed subordinates, and at a glance he saw the honor guard flag on the pier of Xiaodongmen, and from the scale of the flag and the guard, he couldn't help but let out a low exclamation: "Dongjia!" It seems that His Highness has arrived in person! ”
Although Lin Kunren had a lawsuit with Hong Chengchou in Nanjing, the communication with Shanghai has never been broken. And it's also a dignified contact. "Since you invited me to come to the peace talks, then I will report to my lord. Teaching timing is always the right thing to do, right? "In terms of the Qing army, on the one hand, Hong Chengchou wants to show his Shangbang demeanor, and on the other hand, Duoduo and Hong Chengchou both know that the Li family father and son have been in Nanjing for a long time, and they don't know how many dark piles and eyeliners have left, and there are benefits of rivers, seas, rivers and lakes, if you want to pass on any news, it's not too simple! Just do it beautifully, open the door and let him contact the direction of Shanghai!
Relying on this, Lin Kun knows the dynamics of the direction of Shanghai well. He knew that after Li Shouhan had finished disposing of the military and political affairs in the direction of Jiangxi, he set off south to Guangzhou to take charge of the enthronement of His Royal Highness the King of Tang in Guangzhou. Li Huamei led a huge fleet of sailors to escort His Royal Highness the Tang King and the Chinese Wu of the Yigan Dynasty slowly south. The first person to stay in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, is the second son, Li Huabao, the second highness in the mouth of his subordinates.
At this time, the Second Highness, who stood alone in Shanghai, came to the dock in person, which couldn't help but make Lin Kun a little excited.
Without waiting for the springboard to be stabilized, Lin Dadong, who was well versed in the officialdom of "county officials are not as good as being in charge", rushed to the springboard, and rushed to Li Huabao in a few steps, with a smile on his face. Speaking of which, he and Li Huabao are also acquaintances, and as a human trader with huge sales and trade volume, he will naturally pick out some fine products to give to the Li family and his sons for appreciation. To put it mildly, at least half of the colorful women in Li Shouhan's inner house were purchased and gifted by Lin Kun.
"Where did Mr. Lin come from! When my father was in Shanghai, he always praised him, saying that Mr. Lin had won more than two months for my Nanyue Army with his own strength and with a sharp mouth! This credit is that Su Qin and Zhang Yi Lin were like eating their own Lu Jia back then, and they didn't dare to look at Mr. Xiang! Hua Bao came to the dock to greet Mr., on the public heart, that is on behalf of all the officers and men of the Southern Guangdong Army to thank Mr. for the precious time that Mr. won for our army. On filial piety, Mr. helped his father solve the urgent need in front of him, and Hua Bao, as a son of man, should also be grateful. In terms of personal relationships, Huabao and Mr. can also be called irreversible, and it is not a big deal to welcome and send off friends. ”
Seeing Li Huabao say this, Lin Kun could only thank him without words. However, he has traveled south and north for many years, experienced countless storms, and has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts. In the eyes of Li Huabao, these sons and brothers, he is intimate with you, and that is right. But if you don't know what to do, or even kick your nose in the face, it may be "the cat licks the bridge of the tiger's nose and finds death." "How many smash hits are favored ministers and celebrities, all because of the accumulation of these situations, and finally fell to the ground and turned into dust.
Respectfully followed Li Huabao back to the Tianhou Palace, which was already where Li Huabao's headquarters was located.
"Sir, I don't say that you know the current situation very well." After some courtesy and politeness, Li Huabao drank the hot cocoa in his hand, put the glass aside, changed his expression, and began to talk to Lin Kun.
"The reason why my father wants to go back to Guangzhou, in addition to settling there for the Tang King and preparing for the enthronement ceremony, more importantly, Guangzhou is relatively convenient to southern Jiangnan, and there is a sea route to connect Songjiang. It is convenient to command the coordinated actions of people and horses in two directions. ”
"Over there in Jiangxi, the eldest brother-in-law has commanded the men and horses to conquer Nanchang, and the military report received yesterday that Changsha and Jiujiang are also in the past few days. Wuchang, the peripheral progress is quite smooth, and it should be recovered within ten days. Once Wuchang is taken, the father will have a big exhibition to spread. ”
Regarding the actions of Hao Shaoqi, Gao Yigong and others in Jiangxi, Lin Kun also heard about it in Nanjing. It's just negative news. Legend has it in the city of Nanjing that after conquering a city, the New Nanyue Army, who were born as thieves, would indiscriminately send those who had shaved their hair and became officials at all levels in the Qing Dynasty to the cross streets.
For a time, from central Jiangxi to northern Jiangxi, from the remote Changsha Mansion to the city of Wuchang, these "thieves" were killed by these "thieves" along the way, and the blood flowed like a river! not only brutalized officials at all levels in the Qing Dynasty, but also refused to be lenient at all to the gentry and scholars who shaved their hair and returned to obedience. As long as you shave your hair and make it easy to wear, then the man will be dragged to the cross street to ask for a knife, and let the hot blood soak the bluestone paved road and dye it red, and let the city be full of human heads. According to the leaders of the "thieves", "These people have shaved their heads and braided hair, but they have saved us trouble." There is no need to make a wooden cage to hold the human head, just tie the braid to the battlement! All the men in the family were killed, and the wealth and women became the trophies of the "thieves".
For a time, the vast land of the lake was full of refugees fleeing, and the well-dressed gentlemen fled north one after another, to Jiujiang, to Wuchang, and even to Anqing across the Yangtze River in one breath. For a time, countless large families of poetry heirlooms that had lasted for hundreds or even hundreds of years were reduced to a pool of rubble and ashes. The poetry was destroyed, and the saint wept under the Nine Plains!
The bells and drums were destroyed, and the clay kettles thundered. Without these generations of poetry heirlooms at the helm of various places, it is even more turbulent. Those long-term tenants and mud-legged people, and the slaves and companions who have been supported by the family for many years, do not think of kindness, but take advantage of the chaos to rise up and act recklessly. burning, killing, looting, destroying ancestral halls, tying up and hanging the family of the old family, and so on.
The New Southern Guangdong Army, headed by Hao Shaoqi, Dang Shousu, Gao Yigong, Zhang Nai, and others, set fire to the famineland in the front and wantonly cut through thorns and thorns.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Shouhan fled from Shanghai in a hurry and rushed to Guangzhou. It must be known that at present, although the Chinese military officials of the DPRK no longer have the strength and arrogance they had when they were in Nanjing, they can compete with him and have the ability to fight against him. However, those officials who have all kinds of relationships with the officials and gentry in Huguang and Jiangxi have various relationships with their fellow villagers, the same family, the same year, their in-laws, their old days, and so on, and they have to go to him to cry and complain all kinds of complaints, not to mention the energy, these fly-like guys cry and accuse him every day in front of him, and point the spearhead directly or indirectly at Shi Lang and the Nanyue Army, but they can't do it, which is really annoying and annoying him.
"Because of this matter, the eldest brother-in-law no longer knows how many questions he has been impeached by the imperial historians. A few days ago, when the eldest sister escorted the Tang King and the Chinese Wu of the Dynasty to the south, these impeachment questions that Yushitai did not issue were supposed to be loaded on a boat! Later, the eldest sister said that there were not enough ships, and if they wanted to carry such documents, they would have to be crowded with the adults, and see which one was willing to lay on the floor with the sailors in the Odori warehouse? As soon as these words came out, the crows became honest. So I ordered all these papers to be taken out of the cabin and left on the dock for the footmen and the sailors on the dock to use when they went to the place of reincarnation. Tell them that they don't have to worry about respecting the paper, these things are waste paper, and they only deserve to be used to wipe their butts! ”
"Rao is like this, I'm afraid that this generation may not be able to calm down after arriving in Wuyang City, so I have to continue to climb and bite General Shi Lang!" Thinking of the faces of those imperial historians and other civil and military officials in the DPRK and China, Lin Kun couldn't help but worry about Shi Lang.
"Humph! This is no longer the case! In the past, my father did not hesitate to tolerate it because of his face, who knew that this generation did not know what to do. Now my father has tolerated these people to the end. Mr. Lin, just wait and see, I'm afraid the show is still to come! ”
Li Huabao's words made Lin Kun, who also received a traditional education, break out in a cold sweat on his back. This is clearly a sign of learning from Zhu Wen's White Horse Post in Luoyang! Speaking of which, the Li family's enmity with those civil officials in the court far exceeds that of Zhu Wen. At most, Zhu Wen was not recognized by the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK as a thief and a shunned fellow. For the sake of the Ming court, an eldest son Li Huayu was killed, and an eldest daughter Li Huamei was almost killed in a cannon. If you really turn your face one day, I am afraid that these civil and military forces in the DPRK and China will be like those ministers in the late Tang Dynasty, "These self-proclaimed clear streams should be thrown into the rivers and will always be turbid." "It should be a hub" is also indispensable.
"It should be a hub", from "Zizhi Tongjian Volume 265 Tang Ji 81", Zhu Wen once sat under the big willow with his staff and tourists, Zhu Wen said to himself: "This tree should be used as a hub." "Everybody should be. A couple of tourists got up and replied, "It should be a hub." Zhu Wen was furious and said loudly: "Scholars like to play with others, you are all this kind of people!" The hub must be made of elm, how can willow be made! He said to those on his right and left, "What are you waiting for?" Dozens of people on the left and right who shouted that "it should be a car hub" were all killed.
Think about those who were either noble and gorgeous, or Kejia was born in the middle of the imperial examination, in the three provinces and pavilions, and regarded themselves as honorable, but as a result, the left servant shot Pei Shu, the new Qing Navy Jiedu made Dugu Damage, the right servant shot Cui Yuan, the Ministry of Shangshu Lu, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wang Pu, the Shoutaibao Zhishi Zhao Chong, the military department waiter Wang Zan and other "well-dressed and clear-cut" more than 30 people, and then were thrown into the Yellow River, allowing the corpses to sink and float between the waves. and those late Tang Dynasty civil and military ministers who were killed by Zhu Wen in the name of his friends, Lin Kun secretly sighed, "What does it mean that the Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and future generations mourn them; Later generations mourn and do not learn from it, and it also makes future generations mourn for future generations. This generation can be regarded as a person who has read poetry and classics, but he has sent himself and his family to a dead end for a little selfish gain. After death, you have to bear the infamy, it's really confusing! ”
However, Lin Dadong's family also thought a little wrong. Of course, these people were killed and destroyed, and they became infamous for a while. However, after a long time, there are those unscrupulous descendants, for the sake of their own improper position and many other reasons, they want to be kind to the world to sell their reputation and reflect their legitimacy. So, he hit it off with those people who were knocked down by the founding of the country, and raped them, rehabilitating Zhaoxue, restoring their reputation, and returning their property. even brought the rebel leaders, the old and the young, and the remnants of the scumbags who met with swords and guns back then to the DPRK and the Central Committee as officials. After these people have a legal status, status, and property, how can they be of the same mind as you? However, these things are not the responsibility of these unscrupulous descendants, they just need to wave the flag and shout at me during their reign, sing praises and praise merits, evaluate merits, and even transfer the military exploits that do not belong to me and get them on my head. In the future, after I die, as long as my descendants are rich and noble, and the mausoleum is tall, who cares if the flood is monstrous?!
"Your Highness, when I boarded the boat from Nanjing, I saw that the soldiers and horses of the slaves and thieves were mobilized one after another along the way, probably with the rebel thieves and soldiers as the forerunners, and the soldiers and horses of the slaves and thieves pressed the formation, and the ants were swarming, coming towards Songjiang Mansion, look at the flag, look at the marching situation, it seems that there are at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and most of the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River should be pressed to His Highness's side! It's a must-have! ”
"Mr. Lin, you have the talent of Tao Zhu, and you have the means of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, so you naturally admire it tightly. However, this military matter, Mr. is a layman. "Because he has a good personal relationship with Lin Kun, Li Huabao will not pay special attention to anything in words, and he is a little dissatisfied with Lin Kun's reminder." Although the Qing soldiers surrendered and rebelled along the way, thieves from all walks of life rebelled like ants, and they were also arrogant for a while. However, where are there hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in this land south of the Yangtze River? Mr. is in the river boat, I am afraid that he will be deceived by the false banner of such a thief. ”
"Another point is that the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are dense and the water network is criss-crossed, so it is not easy for the army to march. When a certain family retreated from Nanjing, they destroyed all the bridges over the big river, and this generation will inevitably block the river when marching. Mr. looked at it from a distance, and naturally there were many soldiers and horses, and the momentum was huge. ”
Lin Kun's mouth moved a few times, and he also felt that Li Huabao was reasonable. When it comes to doing business, he is a master here. However, when it comes to fighting wars and governing places, he is far inferior to these children of the Li family. The second highness in front of him, that is also a character who killed the bones of all kinds of local officials in Guangxi, and the official villages everywhere turned into ashes, mentioning Li Huabao's reputation, in Guangxi, it can also cure children's night crying.
"Sir, when it comes to doing business, when my father is leaving, he often talks about his great achievements, and often worries about how to reward him for his achievements. Every time I discuss with us, I sigh for a long time about this matter. ”
"A little bit of effort, but it is called the national public memory, I am really ashamed!"
"Later, the eldest sister consulted with me and told my father that Mr. is a master among merchants and goods, and he might as well still make the best use of his talents."
This is Li Huabao's means of turning the clouds and rain. This matter was suggested by Shi Lang to Li Huamei in a letter from home, and Li Huamei proposed it to Li Shouhan. When he got here, he became his main initiative. Naturally, Lin Kun also understands the mystery of this, even though he has no mouth to thank Li Huabao.
After receiving Lin Kun's gratitude for a while, Li Huabao got up and took out a few documents from a closed and secure cabinet next to him and handed them to Lin Kun. "Lin Dadong, no, Lin Da Supervisor. This is a power of attorney signed by his father. From this point on, you have partnered with my Li family to supervise the affairs of reclamation and colonization in the area from Mugu Dushu, Ma Lindi, Thorn Sa, Zufar, Zhubu, and Slow Basa, all the way to the south. ”
Sure enough, on the letter of appointment framed by the best silk brocade, it was Li Shouhan's words that were not structured in any way by the rules and legs with one hand and kicking his legs. His bad words have been touted by some people who are good at meeting their bosses as eclectic and very human. However, although the words are rotten, the person who writes is a character who holds the wind and thunder. In Lin Kun's view, this letter of appointment is the emperor's personal decree.
It is said that it is a letter of appointment, but it can also be said to be a letter of appointment or a letter of concession. Probably this means that Lin Kun and the Li family partnered, and everyone worked together to run colonization affairs in the vast inland area along the coastline of Ma Lindi, Thorn Sa, Zufar, Zhubu, and Slow Basa in the north. As the supervisor of this matter, Lin Kun enjoyed the right to recruit native soldiers and volunteers, decide on his own to conquer and recruit soldiers, and appoint officials below the state capital. However, he also had the obligation to cooperate with Xu Hongzu's Zhongye School, the Nanyue Army Naval Division and other departments.
If Lin Kun's mind was clear at this time, he would be able to know very clearly that this business name was the Li family's version of the East India Company. It's just that the destination and area is not India, but the East African coastline all the way to the south, and it is not even specified where it is to the south. This vast area, the abundance of products, and the abundance of wealth made Lin Kun a little at a loss.
At this time, he was already dizzy from the blow of happiness, like in the clouds.
"Your Highness, as far as your subordinates know, isn't the fifth prince Hua Chen in charge there? If I go, how will I get along with the fifth son? Fortunately, there was still a trace of clarity in his mind, and Lin Kun thought of the fifth son, Li Huachen.
"Fifth brother, don't worry, my father already has the documents for him. This is a letter that my eldest sister and I wrote to him. You can bring it with you. After he sees it, he will naturally cooperate with you. Li Huabao handed Lin Kun two unsealed letters, and motioned that he might as well take them out to see if there was anything that needed to be modified.
What else would Lin Kun say at this time? He just proposed that there should be a way to transfer some officials and officers to recruit volunteers (that is, mercenaries!) to the Wa Kingdom, to Punggara, Burma, Tianzhu and other places. )
"Now that soldiers are being used everywhere, there are not enough grassroots officials, so where should I go to find these manpower for you?" Li Huabao frowned, and shouted for a while as usual.
"That's it! I plead with Uncle Xiaohu to send you twenty-five ships and sailors from his fleet. In addition, for the grassroots officials who retreated from Jiangnan to Songjiang Prefecture, I will transfer people from 20 counties and five prefecture capitals to you. As for the officers and soldiers of the battalion... ”
Speaking of this, Li Huabao suddenly burst into a wicked laugh. "I've got the right guy here. I don't know if you dare to use it? ”
"Your Highness, who is it?"
The officer recommended by Li Huabao to Lin Kun to lead the team was Xiao Zhengchun. This grandfather, who was born in a rich family, was transferred from the position of the standard commander of the Ninth Brigade to Tianfang as an instructor. But somehow, this extraordinary-looking young master Xiao had a super friendly relationship with the princess of his employer's family, and he also sowed the seeds into the fertile land of others. He was so angry that his cheap old man wanted to commit an honor murder on him. He was also quick to see the opportunity, and even escaped by boat overnight with this princess. Now he is waiting for punishment at home as a guilty person.
"This person, do you dare to use it? If you dare to use his words, I will ask my father to allocate you a regiment of soldiers and horses, supplemented by some artillery, and you will be able to set off by boat. ”
"This man is also a brave man! The subordinates thought about it, and went to the wooden bones and other places, and the wild land was dangerous everywhere. Ordinary men who follow the rules may not be able to do it. Isn't that what he is in trouble with? It's a big deal, I will prepare more gifts and go to his father-in-law to ask for him in the name of Grandpa Guo. Give more benefits, so that a bed of brocade is covered. If his father-in-law doesn't know what to do anymore, he can't say it, and his subordinates will go on a conquest and appeasement! "Lin Kun can engage in the import and export trade of the population in the midst of thousands of miles of turmoil, and he is naturally not a good man and a woman, and his words are full of murderous cruelty!
"Good! Sure enough, someone didn't see the wrong person! Li Huabao also high-fived and admired!
Lin Kun received the relevant documents and went to Guangzhou to meet Li Shouhan and Xie Wei. After that, he led Xiao Zhengchun and others non-stop, and went to the Wa Kingdom to recruit volunteers. Relying on the amount of grain and rice and cloth in his hands, he recruited 16,700 people in the Wa Kingdom in less than a month. If you don't worry that the ship can't be loaded, you can come with another 10,000!
After a lot of sweet words, Lin Kun helped Xiao Zhengchun solve the face problem of his father-in-law, a certain sultan. At the same time, the two also reached an agreement in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. The cavalry of the Sultan's subordinates was handed over to Xiao Zhengchun for 1,200 cavalry as the princess's dowry. At the same time, the Sultan, as a trading partner of the Li family and Lin Kun, enjoyed agency rights in this area. Population, horses, jewelry, gold, etc., are exchanged for various goods produced in Nanzhong. For a while, great joy went without saying.
However, after these two guys landed on the East African continent with a group of wolf-like minions, with the eyes of a professional like Lin Kun, there was a feeling that a mouse had fallen into the granary!
Looking at it, all of them are women with extremely long legs and extremely straight backs, although the skin is darker, but the skin feels good to the touch!
So, Lin Kun and Xiao Zhengchun were slaughtering and munching on this vast land.
Decades later, a new people emerged on the land.
This is an afterword, and it goes without saying.
