After the chapter was written, Lü Feng suggested that Wang Feng privately write secret letters to the "Qingliu representatives" such as Liang Chu, the first assistant, and Yang Yiqing, the secretary of the ministry, to explain the reasons why he ordered the burning of the captured ships.

At this time, the big man Yang Tinghe was mourning at home because of his father's death (it usually takes three years, but generally the first assistant will not stay for three years, and he will often be seized by the emperor and recalled in advance), so the second assistant Liang Chu became the first assistant. Prince Liang did not have the talent of Yang Tinghe, but he was a very upright minister.

Because he was both a "Qingliu" pillar and a direct minister, Liang Chu still respected Liu Daxia's predecessor very much. Wang Hong's order to burn the ship may be able to hide it from the public, but it definitely can't hide it from the eyes and ears of the factory guards, and it can't hide it from the emperor and auxiliary ministers and other bigwigs.

Therefore, in order to prevent Wang Feng from giving people a handle, Lu Feng believed that he should privately confess the matter to Liang Chu, the first assistant, and Yang Yiqing, the official secretary. and explained that he followed Liu Daxia and did it for Jiangshan Sheji......

And Prince Liang was a direct minister, and he also admired Liu Daxia. Not to mention Yang Yiqing, he is known as the "Three Heroes of Chudi" with Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia, and he had a good relationship with Liu Daxia in his early years, and he is still a fellow villager.

Therefore, even if the emperor was dissatisfied with Wang Hong's burning of the ship, these two would definitely protect Wang Hong. And, it's much more than that. You must know that Chu Liang is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is still a native of Shunde County, Guangzhou Prefecture, that is, a native of the Nanhai District of Foshan in later generations, and has also been harassed by the Portuguese fleet.

Wang Hong's big destruction of the Portuguese fleet not only gave Daming a face, but also avenged the father of Liang Chu's hometown. Liang Chu must admit his feelings, and Wang Hong's imitation of Liu Daxia will inevitably win the approval of this first assistant.

And Yang Yiqing doesn't need to say it, but he is a dignified official in charge of the world's official hats. Wang Hong wrote to the two men to explain the situation and ask for help, not only will they be protected, but also, during their administration, they will rise to prominence. After all, Wang Feng has already made great contributions, and with the support of the first assistant and the secretary of the ministry, it is difficult to be underdeveloped......

Moreover, in the original history, Wang Feng only burned a few Portuguese ships in the Battle of Tuen Mun, and since then he has risen to prominence, and finally became a scholar, only one step away from entering the cabinet.

And this time, because nearly 20 ships were burned, more than 3,000 people were captured. In addition, if he has a relationship with Liang Chu and Yang Yiqing, in this life, Wang Hong is afraid that it will not be a problem for Wang Hong to enter the cabinet......

Wang Hong is not a pedantic person, and he also knows how to drill camps. Back then, he worshipped Wu Wending, the young master of Zuo, as his teacher, just to climb up with the help of Wu Wending's relationship. As a result, because of the discord between Dazai Ma Duansu and Wu Wending, Wang Hong's position was demoted because of Wu Wending......

This incident also proves that Wang Hong is not a pedantic person, he also knows the drill camp and wants to climb up. Therefore, Lu Feng's suggestion is exactly what he wants. After all, it was a great opportunity to climb to the first assistant and the secretary of the ministry.

Moreover, this private secret letter is called asking for help, but in fact, Wang Hong is not dangerous at all. The enemy ship, which had made such a great contribution and burned down in wartime, would not have been convicted of it at all. At most, it attracted the dissatisfaction of Emperor Zhengde.

Therefore, this matter is called asking for help, but it is actually clinging to Liang Chu and Yang Yiqing. You must know that Yang Yiqing later also served as the first assistant, a proper boss. With these two, it will be difficult not to fly in the future.

So, when sending the "Eight Hundred Miles Expedited" to Jingshi, Wang Feng found a reliable messenger, not only carrying the chapter to Jingshi, but also carrying two secret letters, so that the messenger could be sent to Liang Chu and Yang Yiqing after completing the task.

……

Seeing that this matter was completed, Lu Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was secretly rejoicing. Because, he can get a bonus of 2,000 taels of silver from Kong Tai for completing the task......

That night, Lu Feng quietly met with the spy sent by Kong Tai who was hiding in the shadows and spread the news. Then, before dawn, the spy who contacted Lu Feng released a carrier pigeon and sent the news back to the Keelung Port headquarters on Taiwan Island.

Two days later, when Wang Hong's "800-mile expedited" was still on the way, Kong Tai received Lu Feng's report. Seeing that things were done, Kong Tai also breathed a sigh of relief......

Ma Lin said at the beginning that he could let the Ming Dynasty get arquebuses and 12-pounder guns, but he could not let the Ming Dynasty get big ships and navigation technology.

Therefore, when the Beihai merchant ships on Taiwan Island went to the three trading ports of Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Ningbo, they sent 250-class armed merchant ships, and never sent 500-ton warships, so as not to be favored by the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, those 250-class armed merchant ships, before docking, would hide all the guns on the ship in the dark compartment of the lower cabin, and also changed the sails to Chinese-style hard sails, just for fear of being favored by the Ming Dynasty. Even the hull of the ship was deliberately made to look very shabby, just for fear of being looked at......

And this time the Portuguese fleet invaded, Conté received the task - to help the Ming Dynasty defeat the Portuguese, but also to ensure that the Ming Dynasty could not get complete Portuguese ships......

Even if the North Sea countries did not look down on the Portuguese caraque and caravel sailboats, it was undeniable that the Portuguese ships were also very suitable for the great voyage. If the people of the Ming Dynasty obtained the real thing and imitated it, it was equivalent to having the ability to sail.

For this reason, Marin strictly ordered Conté, no matter what the cost, to try every means to prevent the Ming Dynasty from obtaining complete Portuguese warships.

It just so happened that Lu Feng was a wise person recruited by Kong Tai, but he was not good at writing Bagu Wen. Otherwise, if you are admitted to the Jinshi, you will already stand out in the Ming officialdom.

Therefore, in order to achieve the strategic goal, Kong Tai reluctantly put out the trump card of Lu Feng and let him "lurk" around Wang Feng as a strategist to affect the situation of this battle.

And after the Battle of Deep Water Bay, Lu Feng was keenly aware that Wang Hong's future would be very bright in the future, and following him would have his own benefits.

Although he failed to be admitted to the lifting of people, his future achievements are limited. But he still has a son! Lu Feng has two sons in his hometown, among them, the eldest son Lu Yue is 18 years old, and he has passed the county examination and the government examination.

Lu Feng knows very well that his eldest son will have a bright future. Because, he has the money to go to famous teachers and learn to write articles to cope with the exam. Lu Feng is actually a genius, but he was born in the wilderness, and the teacher he worshipped back then was just an ordinary country school teacher, and he was just a down-and-out talent. So, he didn't learn a lot of writing skills.

But his son could! Now, he can receive a salary of 500 taels from Kong Tai every year, plus the 2,000 taels for completing the task this time, which is definitely a huge amount of money. With this money, he can send his son to Da Confucian's side to receive education, and he will have a greater certainty of gaining fame.

And if he attaches Wang Hong, the future elder, he will be able to operate a strong network in the Ming officialdom. Even if Wang Hong retires one day, his network can last for more than ten years until his death. One day, if his eldest son is admitted to the Jinshi examination, after becoming an official, this net will help him rise to prominence......

In addition, his youngest son, Lu Xing, is also doing well in his studies. Now that Lu Feng has money, he can also send him to the best academy in the provincial capital to study, and he will have a much greater chance of gaining fame in the future......

In short, as long as his two sons can be admitted to the Juren Jinshi, the future will not be worried......
