Volume III Chapter 18 Coming Upon Call
After Yu Chenglong joined, the statistical process of Tunwei was accelerated a few points, if Zhang Bin was allowed to count alone, there would be 30 books a day, more than 1,000 yellow books, and he couldn't count them in a month.
It's different if seven people count together, almost 200 books a day, and one can be counted in five or six days.
During this period, the people recruited by Zhang Bin finally arrived one after another.
Hong Xianchun didn't know what was going on, obviously he was the closest, but he never saw anyone, and the first to arrive was Zhang Bin's fourth brother Zhang Jun.
Zhang Bin recruited Zhang Jun mainly to let him contact other big merchants of the Fujian Merchant Gang, although these merchants have a branch in Fuzhou City, but Zhang Bin is really not familiar with the merchants in Fujian, and he does not know which merchants have the greatest appeal in the Fujian Merchant Gang, so he can only hand over this matter to Zhang Jun to deal with.
However, the behavior of Wang Ruoji and others made Zhang Bin have a heart, Father-in-law Wei definitely doesn't want such an important province as Fujian to fall into his hands, because he is now equivalent to the emperor's cronies, if he masters Fujian, then the emperor will definitely have some ideas, in case he is uneasy and at ease to be a "puppet", then the days of Father-in-law Wei covering the sky with one hand are afraid to be gone forever.
Therefore, Grandpa Wei will definitely let people drag themselves back, and if they want to drag themselves back, the easiest thing is to make themselves unable to raise food.
There is a saying in later generations, money is not everything, no money is everything, without money, you can't do anything, exterminate pirates, that's a joke.
In order to prevent these people from obstructing it, Zhang Bin simply asked Zhang Jun not to notify the Fujian merchants first, anyway, the merchants in Fujian are basically in Fuzhou, and it is not too late to notify them when the other merchants have arrived, and when the time comes, they are afraid that it will be too late to obstruct them, unless they tear their faces with themselves.
If he tears his face, Zhang Bin is not very afraid, after all, he is the governor of Fujian, the whole of Fujian, he is the biggest, who dares to jump out and bump into the official, he doesn't mind killing a chicken to make an example of the monkey!
Of course, if you want to kill a chicken, it is best to be able to fully control the military power, otherwise, you are still in danger of becoming a chicken, but Hong Xianchun, the key person who holds the military power, has never returned, Zhang Bin can't help but send a fast horse to ask.
Kuaima came back in one day, and Hong Xianchun's reply was that the pirate Li Kuiqi had been waiting to move, and he didn't dare to go away!
Well, this reason seems to be understandable, Zhang Bin can only let him go temporarily.
According to his report, the pirate Liu Xiang probably had more than 100 large and small warships, and about 10,000 men, but when he transferred 1,000 guards from the nearby Quanzhou Wei and Yongning Wei and repaired the defense facilities, Liu Xiang seemed to know the difficulty and retreated, at least there was no trace of the pirate ship in the past few days.
Zhang Bin is very satisfied with Sun Bingru's performance, it seems that he should not have thrown himself into the arms of the eunuch party.
For this reason, Zhang Bin specially praised him, and also gave him a credit, of course, this credit can only be remembered first, to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, you have to wait for the extermination of pirates.
On the fifth day, the number of guards was almost counted, and Cai Shanji, who was in charge of the Quanzhou Patrol Sea Patrol in charge of Yuegang, also came.
According to his report, there is no big problem with Yuegang, Zheng Zhilong has been in the center and left of the center and left, and the two sides are safe, but Zheng Zhilong's strength is a little scary, this guy has more than 200 large and small warships, and there are no less than 20,000 men!
This Zhang Bin naturally knew for a long time, and he didn't worry much about the safety of Yuegang, even if Zheng Zhilong had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't worry much, because he knew that Zheng Zhilong didn't come to loot, and in history, he also accepted Xiong Wencan's appeasement, this guy was purely for the sake of being an official.
Zhang Bin naturally won't tell people about his relationship with Zheng Zhilong, and when the time comes, it will be a great achievement to pretend to be appeased, and this credit will definitely not be able to run.
However, what he didn't expect was that Cai Shanji actually suggested to him to appease Zheng Zhilong and treat thieves with thieves, this guy is not simple!
Zhang Bin deliberately chatted with him for a while before he learned that he used to be the prefect of Quanzhou, and because he was unwilling to accept Wu Chunfu's "kindness", he was suddenly taken to Quanzhou Patrol Channel.
Through small talk, you can feel that this Cai Shanji is a good person, he does not cling to the eunuch party, and he is not passive and slack after being demoted, after Zheng Zhilong occupies the center and left, he took the initiative to go to Yuegang to organize defense, completely ignoring life and death!
Being able to become a prefect with his ability proves that there is no problem with his ability, Zhang Bin secretly cares about him, this is an object worth cultivating, perhaps, he can be trained well in the future.
On the sixth day, the tunwei of the Fujian capital division was finally counted, and the result was quite bad, except for Dajin and Yongningwei, the remaining tunwei of all the other guards was only about thirty percent, and all the tunwei added up to less than 30,000!
There are less than 30,000 guards in total, and there are still people to garrison, and recruiting 15,000 people is the limit.
At this time, how many pirates there are around Fujian, others don't know, but Zhang Bin knows very well that the so-called Eighteen Pirates refers to the larger pirate gangs, and there are more than 28 small ones, and the total number of zeros and zeros adds up to at least 200,000, and there are thousands of large and small ships.
This number is still a conservative estimate, because after Zheng Zhilong defeated all the pirates, the personnel expanded rapidly to more than 100,000, and there were no less than 700 large and small warships, these were not recruited by him, but fought one by one, and after a few years, at least a small half of the pirates were consumed, that is to say, there are probably more than 200,000 pirates around Fujian!
15,000 guards to exterminate 200,000 pirates, although Zheng Zhilong, the largest pirate assistance, but within a year, it is quite difficult, this cowhide has been blown out, if it is blown out, it will be troublesome, Chongzhen may turn his face at any time and not recognize people.
What to do?
Zhang Bin simply sent an order to the Fujian Xingdu Division, and ordered the capital commander to make Chen Eryi mobilize 15,000 guards to come to support, anyway, the jurisdiction of the Fujian Xingdu Division is located inland, and there is no threat for the time being, so it doesn't matter much if all the remaining guards are transferred.
The next thing is to send an order to the Fujian Metropolitan Division, this order, of course, Zhang Bin can also issue, he is the governor, responsible for the military and political affairs of a province, and the Metropolitan Governor has to listen to his orders, but this kind of trivial matter is generally directed to do, if he directly sends an order to the Guard, it proves that the commander is not in the same line as him, how can this work.
Zhang Bin simply asked people to tell Hong Xianchun directly, if you can't come back, if you don't come back, I'm going to Wan'an to find you!
Hong Xianchun couldn't stay at this time, and he ran back the next day.
In fact, he was hiding from Zhang Bin, because he didn't dare to interfere with Zhang Bin and Hong Rong'er's marriage, but he was afraid that Wu Chunfu would retaliate against him, that guy was the godson of Father-in-law Wei, and he wanted to clean him up, it was very simple!
