Chapter 1909 "Ship Fortification" Only "Artillery Profit"

"All burned out?" Wang Feng was taken aback. Then, he hesitated:

"Fortunately, these seven ships are all extremely sturdy and unafraid of arrows. If it is repaired and transformed, it can be used by the two Guangzhou water divisions. Wouldn't it be a pity if it were burned like that? It's a big deal, we'll just send the ghost prisoners of war to Jingshi. ”

Lu Feng arched his hand and said:

"Don't think like that! The hell's deck ship was so big and so eye-catching. Moreover, the imperial court has secret agents of factory guards scattered all over the place. If they knew about it, they would report it to Your Majesty, and with Your Majesty's character, I am afraid that they would force the sailors to send these ships to Jingshi. ”

"When the time comes, if Your Majesty takes a fancy to it, he will definitely order a great construction! At that time, the plans of Mr. Higashiyama and other princes of the DPRK and China were in vain? ”

Wang Feng was shocked when he heard this, and he also remembered that this was the Ming Dynasty, and the factory guards were everywhere, and they knew about the existence of the big ship, and they would definitely report it to the emperor to curry favor with Zhengde. And what kind of virtue is Emperor Zhengde? He ordered the whole country to donate rare and interesting things for his amusement. And the Western deck ship, isn't it just a rare and interesting thing? If those factory guards know about it, they will definitely report it.

Then, he hesitated:

"However, now that it has been burned, it may also be known by the factory guard. Perhaps, there is the eyeliner of the factory guard in this army......"

Lu Feng said with a smile:

"Dong Weng, if you order the burning of the ship tomorrow, you will definitely give someone a handle. But what time is today? The big war is in full swing! At this time, the ship was burned, and that was in wartime. If the order to burn the deck ship before noon is at best, it is at best a miscommand of the battle. ”

"But then again, this battle was originally a winning battle under your command of Dong Weng. At the time of the Great War, what was wrong with giving the order to burn enemy ships? ”

"What about the ship's supplies?"

"Unload, of course, and burn the ship again!"

"Okay, come on! The order was sent down, and the sailor was ordered to know Lin Tianhai and immediately transport all the property on the 7 ships that were captured. Then, before noon, set fire to those seven ships! ”

After a pause, Wang Feng said:

"In addition, tell Lin Tianhai privately that the 380,000 taels of gold, silver and copper coins on the ship must be transported back in ......

This is the money that Wang Feng gave Lin Tianhai to seal his mouth, 10,000 taels of silver, which is enough to seal Lin Tianhai's mouth. You know, this is not the end of the Ming Dynasty when maritime trade prevailed. At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, 10,000 taels of silver was definitely a huge amount of money. Only a powerful eunuch like Liu Jin can accept bribes to reach this number. Lin Tianhai eats empty pay and drinks the blood of soldiers, and he can have one or two thousand taels a year, which is terrifying. After all, he is only a battalion officer in Nantou Water Village, and his oil and water are limited.

But Wang Feng didn't know that Lin Tianhai had lost 10,000 taels of ink before. Give Lin Tianhai another 10,000 yuan, and Lin Tianhai made a lot of money this time......

And in this era, there is a small courtyard house in Beijing, but it is only worth dozens of taels. Lin Tianhai got 20,000 taels at once, and he could buy hundreds of small courtyard houses in Jingshi. If Liu Jin is still in power, the 20,000 taels can be sent over, and a general soldier can come back......

However, Lin Tianhai will definitely not swallow the 20,000 taels of silver alone, and will definitely give some to his subordinates as a hush money. And Wang Feng specially criticized him for the 10,000 taels he was greedy for, and he would also give at least two or three thousand taels to Wang Feng as a kickback......

Sure enough, with the stimulus of money, Lin Tianhai had the supplies on the seven Portuguese warships, including artillery and ammunition, unloaded and transported ashore before noon. Then, an order was given to burn 7 ships with one fire.

It was only at this time that Lin Tianhai officially ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. And Mingjin's withdrawal also means that the battle is officially over. In this way, no one will be able to trouble Wang Feng in this matter in the future. Because, the burning of the ship was done before Mingjin, which is not considered a violation.

Moreover, the spicy Lin Tianhai really took 2,000 taels of silver from the 10,000 taels of silver that the Internet celebrity specially approved him for embezzlement, and quietly gave it to Wang Hong. When the silver arrived, Wang Feng didn't say anything, didn't even look at the white silver ingots, but stared at the book case in a daze. But Lu Feng followed with great eyes, and then asked Wang Hong's reliable family to put these silver ingots into the bookcase, and the family Ding personally took care of them.

When Lin Tianhai's personal soldiers were about to leave, Wang Feng slowly spoke:

Lin Tongzhi conducted well this time, and the credit must be seen in the chapter. Let him prepare and prepare, and prepare for promotion......"

Lin Tianhai's personal soldiers left with a happy face, and a military general like Lin Tianhai was no longer popular in the Ming Dynasty, where civil officials had already begun to take power. Although it has not yet reached the point where high-level generals have to kneel and salute when they see low-level civil officials in the late Ming Dynasty, they have also been suppressed in all aspects.

For example, this battle, although it was specifically commanded by Lin Tianhai. However, in the Ming Dynasty, which emphasized literature over military force, the courtiers often put the main credit on Wang Hong, who was "strategizing". How much credit Lin Tianhai has, purely depends on how Wang Hong's recital is written. If Wang Hong's recital gives more credit to Lin Tianhai, the greater the benefits Lin Tianhai will get.

Although the lion's share of the final credit will still be taken away by Wang Hong, as an unfavored general, it is lucky to drink some soup behind Wang Hong.

When writing the recital at night, Wang Hong's brows were tightly locked, and Lu Feng was busy asking why. Wang Feng sighed and said:

"Yizhi, I said in the recital that the Franc machine man 'ship is strong and the cannon is sharp', but my ship is burned out, how can I make the court believe that the Franc machine man is 'ship strong'?"

Lu Feng thought for a while and said:

"Adults, the students think that it is better to change this 'ship and artillery sharpness' to 'artillery sharpness'. In this way, His Majesty will not pursue the issue of the ship after seeing it. In addition, the results of the Humen Fort in repelling the enemy ships are not enlarged in the chapter. Then, the adults can also suggest that more forts be set up in the coastal towns along the rivers to defend against the ships of the thieves. In this way, neither His Majesty nor the courtiers will notice the problem with the ship......"

"However, it takes a lot of money to set up forts in various coastal towns, and isn't it similar to Your Majesty building a big ship to go to the Western Ocean?"

Lu Feng shook his head and said:

"It's different, sir. Regardless of whether a big ship is built or not, important coastal towns, such as Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Hangzhou, must be protected. Nowadays, Westerners have discovered this place, today it is the Franco, tomorrow who knows who will come? The students heard on Dongfan Island that there are hundreds of countries in the West, except for Beihai Kingdom, which is more obedient to the Ming Dynasty, and most of the other countries are countries of thieves and robbers. There are several countries like Franc that are good at sea raiding, and there are several Tessie. Today is the Franc machine, tomorrow who knows who will come? In addition, the Japanese of the East may also come to plunder. Therefore, in important coastal towns, it is necessary to lay forts. Although the state spends a lot of money, it is also a helpless move. And to build a big ship to go to the Western Ocean, that is unnecessary......"

Lu Feng's words are very much in line with the Confucian idea of moderation and conformity. Wang Feng was also very satisfied with this, so he specially erased the "ship strong" in "Ship Strong". Then, only "gunli" remained in the recital......
