"Zhao'an...... Nanao Lin actually thought of Zhao'an...... It's whimsical. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThey also want to take Lin Daoqian as an example, Lin Daoqian's situation is completely different from them, how can it be compared. Moreover, even if it is Lin Daoqian, Zhao'an may not be right, now he has run to Siam, I heard that he worshiped his brother with the king there, and the person who presided over Zhao'an also had some involvement. A group of rebellious ministers and thieves should all be killed, and they still want to recruit peace? ”

Inside the secret room, Ling Yunyi stroked his beard with his hand, his expression full of disdain. Fan Jin and Sa Bao sat next to them and echoed with their voices. In front of them was a brief map, which depicted the maritime terrain at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong, especially the location of Nanao Island, and the surrounding terrain was clearly marked.

If Fan Jin himself came to Ling Yunyi to talk about Zhao'an, his position would not be very correct, not to mention that his identity was also a little inappropriate to talk about this matter, and it was easy to fall into suspicion. Pulling Sabao is equivalent to bringing a talisman, which can also be seen as a statement by the brocade guard.

Although they all eat court meals, their basic plates are different, their interests are different, and the choices made in the same event are different. For Ling Yunyi, the annihilation of Lin Feng's department was a great battle feat, and it would be of great help to his future promotion.

But as far as Jinyiwei is concerned, if you want to get this kind of military merit, you have to fight hard to get it. Even if there is no need to charge into battle, just to investigate the military situation, stalking and investigating will inevitably kill and injure people. And these lives need to spend a certain amount of money and food as a pension for the aftermath. Sabao has almost reached the pinnacle of what he can reach, and he has no motivation to struggle, only seeking money and not merit, and if he can solve the problem in a relatively peaceful way, of course he will not refuse.

What's more important is how much benefit the parties can get in the whole incident. The hidden gold of the Prince Tower couldn't impress Fan Jin, but it really moved Sabao. In fact, this brocade official specially sent someone to investigate the news of the gold hidden in the prince's building, and he has always wanted to get this huge amount of money in his hands, but South Australia is not under the jurisdiction of Daming, and he is powerless.

Controlling Lin Feng in the Jinyi Yamen as a habitable wonder is not the idea of knocking out a sum of money from him. So when Fan Jin proposed that the Lin family was willing to hand over the Tibetan gold, he was supportive of Zhao'an, at least saying that it would be beneficial and not costly, and he had no reason to refuse.

Ling Yunyi was a little unimpressed with Zhao'an's matter, "The court stresses benevolence and righteousness, and tries to be reasonable in dealing with thieves, as long as they put down their knives, they can not blame the past, and now many people dare to be thieves." Pick up a knife to kill people and set fires, and if you can't get along, you will recruit peace, and in the long run, people in the world will lose their reverence for the law and order, and there will be no peace in this world. God has the virtue of a good life, but there should also be the power of thunder, people can only be virtuous if they are afraid of power, like Nanao, in order to save their own leader and ask for peace, how can they be sincere? Now that he has been recruited, he will continue to be a robber when the limelight passes, and he will still do evil in the future. In addition, the military and civilians in Guangdong were mostly victimized by forest thieves, and if they wanted to recruit peace, it also depended on whether the people agreed. ”

He pointed to the map in front of him, "After catching Lin Feng, several of our Guangdong gentry sent this to the Yamen, saying that they were helping the government and exterminating the thieves, but in fact, it was their own calculations." These people are all engaged in maritime business, people say that the sea is the land of Fujian, but in fact, it depends on the water draft, and which of the coastal provinces can not touch the sea trade? The old man is not Zhu Qiuya (Zhu Kun), and he will not talk about fighting and killing for the sake of people. As long as you do business with peace of mind, don't think about it, and close your eyes, there will be nothing. But Lin Feng was really too troublesome, everyone ate in this pot, but he threw sand and stones, and wanted to take the pot away, which was intolerable. Before he was taken, there were more than nine hijacked cargo ships in a month alone. People say that the way of officials is not to sin the giant room, but in fact it is not to be the enemy of public opinion, and the attitude of these people is ...... It is the will of the people. The old man must also consider the will of the people. ”

Public opinion never refers to the Qiantou, because they have no power, and at the moment, the people who really have power are the gentry. Ling Yunyi's authority can ignore the opinions of some gentlemen and pursue policies that he believes are right or beneficial to them. But when the matter has nothing to do with his interests, he has to take into account the position of the gentry, which is the so-called public opinion.

Fan Jin is not a naïve person, he doesn't think that he has put forward a proposition, and this proposition is beneficial in the long run, Ling Yunyi must support it. In addition to the maps, the gentry sent some things that they did not need to see. And the power of those things is far greater than the map, and if you want Ling Yunyi to change her mind, you have to take more.

There are deep entanglements of interests between the rampant Japanese plague and those famous families along the coast who use maritime trade as a means of profit, and even some of them are themselves white gloves of maritime merchants. The maritime merchants provided materials and intelligence for the Japanese pirates, and in some cases acted as a guide, and in turn, the materials looted by the Japanese pirates had to be sold through these maritime merchants to achieve a win-win situation. In the number of government and Japanese households, it is often easier for Japanese to obtain supplies and intelligence, and their support rate among the people is higher than that of officers and soldiers.

However, Lin Feng's main reliance on overseas Chinese merchants was not a deep friendship with the wealthy families in Guangdong, and his subordinates attacked merchant ships at sea, causing the maritime families in Guangdong to suffer huge losses. These businessmen are very influential in the local area, and their own interests are harmed, so they naturally ask the government to suppress bandits. In order to maintain its own market, it is not delusional to smash the huge resources and smash South Australia to the ground.

Fan Jin has already learned from Sabaona that it was actually the government's plan to let go of a few pirates at the beginning, to release a long line to catch big fish, and use Lin Feng as bait to lure the pirates to attack in a big way, so as to facilitate the capture of them all. Although this plan did not succeed, the leader came, and it was always rewarding. At present, in the city of Guangzhou, in addition to the government, the bodyguards and servants of those big families, and the city fox and society rats who have a relationship with them are not idle.

This kind of behavior is actually a complete face-to-face with Lin Feng's forces, the car is on the track, it is not easy to make it stop, even Ling Yunyi, if he wants to stop the footsteps of so many people, he has to pay a price. It's not that he can't afford it, but whether it's worth it. It would be ridiculous to let him take this risk simply for the sake of the interests of overseas Han Chinese, or for the so-called ideals.

Fan Jin said: "Zhongcheng, of course, pirates have to fight, and the price must also be considered. A single nautical chart does not seem to be sufficient. ”

Sabao also said: "Nanao was originally a good port, there were many ships moored there, and there were people trading there. Since the rise of the plague, the strong people have been called kings in the land, and the plague has been brought to an end. Since the World Temple, after so many years, many old people are no longer there, and the terrain there has become unfamiliar, especially where there are reefs, where it is easy to run aground, and the number of people who know it is very limited. According to the information of the lowly investigation, the robbers set up an iron fence near the port, and the ships would be chained as soon as they passed, and there were light and dark batteries to fight, and they were heavily guarded. To gnaw this hard bone, it will inevitably take some effort. ”

Ling Yunyi said: "No matter how hard the bones are, they can be gnawed down, and the righteous people of Guangdong are willing to pay money to help the officers and soldiers in the war, and they have awarded a large reward." There are brave men under the heavy reward, as long as the three armies serve to the death, there is no fortified city that cannot be attacked. In addition, in the matter of recruiting An, what the thieves asked for was too extravagant, and Lin Feng's case was not smaller than that of Wang Zhiwei back then. Wufeng couldn't escape death, how could he avoid the crime? ”

He said to Fan Jin again: "I know what you are worried about, the old man has his own arrangements." Killing this thief is the end of the thief's idea of recruiting peace, whether these people are desperate to attack Guangzhou or defend South Australia, they are all scattered sand, and it is not difficult to eradicate them. The old man has already written Zhaoqing Yin to control the army, please transfer the army and wipe out this gang of rebellious ministers and thieves. When you get rid of these thieves, you can rest easy. Your family has also made arrangements there, and if the pirates dare to attack them, they will be guaranteed to come back. ”

Fan Jin said: "Dong Weng, students are not worried about their own families, but for Dong Weng. With the economic system, the officials and the army can win against those rabble. However, the terrain of South Australia is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the thieves hold on to the danger, even if our army can win, the casualties will be large...... Destroy them. In this way, the casualties can be reduced, and it will look better in the battle report. ”

Ling Yunyi frowned, "The matter of recruiting an Japanese coquettish, the imperial court did it back then, Wang Zhi's rebellion can be quelled, firstly, the officers and soldiers dare to fight, and secondly, they use the strategy of recruiting an to trap and kill Wang Zhi, and let Xu Hai and Chen Dong Maye attack each other, and finally wipe out several bandits." At present, the strength of the forest thieves is not as good as Wang Zhi, and the total number of men and women is twenty or thirty thousand. If you can use the same method to get rid of them, you can indeed save a lot of energy, but the pirates are cunning and wise, and if they see through the mechanism, they are afraid that it will cause a big deal. ”

"Dong Weng, the student thinks that to eliminate this group of pirates, in addition to using soldiers, it is also necessary to use stratagem. The cancer on the sea road is not only a gang of forest thieves, but also no less evil than Lin Feng. After the Francophiles occupied Luzon, they controlled the trade routes, advocated chaos between the two oceans, and the most hateful thing was to manipulate prices, which greatly reduced the profits of China's maritime trade. The benefits of Guangdong Electric Baistone City are a major source of income in Guangdong. Now the Yi people control the sea routes, and if I choke my throat, so that I can not be connected inside and outside, the trade routes can not be unblocked, the profits of the sea trade are less than one day, the merchants are not good, the business road is in the hands of the people, in the long run, the sea trade will become a loss-making business, Guangdong is difficult to raise salaries, if there is a shortage of internal transportation, the court will also blame. ”

"What do you say have to do with the Lin family's plot to recruit An?"

"The students believe that pirates are not available, but they can be used. When we send troops to destroy these pirates, we will not only lose our troops, but we will also do us little good. Why don't you use Zhao'an to hold these people in your hands, use them as the knives of the court, and let them cut whoever they want. If the Francophiles still refuse to be submissive, they will use pirates to fight them, and the people will be victorious, and the troubles can be eliminated. If the pirates win, it will also hurt their vitality, and it will be easy to clean them up when the time comes. ”

Ling Yunyi didn't rush to answer, closed his eyes slightly, pondered, and sighed after a long time. "The rebellion of the Japanese invaders, since the beginning of Hongwu, since the temple and the great prosperity, although through three dynasties, its momentum is still there. The public of the imperial court was worried when they heard about the trouble, and they all wanted to wipe it out. In the land of Fujian and Guangdong, the most rampant person is Lin Rebellion, and he wants to gather people to rebel, he has committed the rule of unforgiveness, recruiting his subordinates, this proposition is afraid that it is difficult to pass in the court. Besides, Lin Daoqian's lessons from the past must be guarded against, are you sure that you will hold them in your hands? ”

"I can't say it, but at the moment, the pirates are very sincere. not only handed over their list of eyeliners in the city, but also was willing to pay a huge amount of money. The money was buried on the island of Nanao, and only the thief himself knew about it, and his subordinates did not know about it, and the amount was very large. It is evident that they are sincere in saying such a secret thing, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, at least for the time being, the students think that they may be able to take advantage of it. Of course, it is possible for officers and soldiers to seize this stolen money when they conquer Nanao Island, but ...... With all due respect, it would be a great pity for the pirates to lose all their treasures or throw them into the sea if they were to lose their hearts and stones. After all, the country is in a difficult situation at the moment, and if Guangdong can solve a huge amount of money to solve the crisis in the capital, even if it is Jiangling Xiangguo, it will also make a contribution to Zhongcheng. ”

"Forget about the merits, my generation is an official but I want to be worthy of my heart, the upper is to the Son of Heaven, the lower is to Li Shuzhong's conscience, praise and destruction are not fleeting, and the old man doesn't care."

Ling Yunyi interrupted Fan Jin's words, "But what you said also makes sense. The most difficult thing in the court right now is silver. I heard that the silver in Taicang was exhausted, and it was very difficult for the Beijing officials to distribute it, if they could send a sum of silver into Beijing, life in the capital would be better, and the Son of Heaven would be less worried. Those who are courtiers naturally have to work hard to serve the country and try their best to share the worries of the court. If this group of thieves is really willing to sacrifice their treasures, they may indeed have some sincerity. The gold and silver figures, did they say no? ”

"This ...... I didn't say it. The pirate rabble has no rules, and they don't know how to keep books, and even they themselves can't tell how much money they have. But there is nothing wrong with these people being robbers for so long, robbing houses and houses, and having a few pennies in their hands. People die for money, they can even hand over the silver, and they are willing to hand over their eyeliner in Guangzhou City, I don't think it's a fake. ”

Sabao also said: "The name of the thief has also been read by the lower officials, and there are some people that we have already found, and we are preparing to follow the vine and find out the people at the top, so it can be seen that what is said is not a lie." This time, the pirates will become blind and deaf in the city, and it will be difficult to find out the news of the government. ”

Ling Yunyi nodded and said, "From this point of view, maybe they really have some sincerity and obedience." Fan Jin said that the strategy of using the tiger to drive the wolf has some hope. The Franc machine man is actually more difficult to deal with than the Japanese Kou. Their firearms are sharp, and their ships are strong. The warships of the imperial navy division were even more advantageous than the Japanese invaders. However, when it came to the Buddha ship, most of them were defeated. At present, there are few of them, and they will not become our henchmen. But once they take root and nourish their life, they are afraid that they will become a difficult stinger in the long run. The Francophile of Entrenchment Ao, who has been a little disrespectful recently, heard that there is still a governor to be elected. Joke, just a barbarian chieftain, dare to set up a governor to appease the ministers? It is also time to teach them some lessons and let them know the prestige of the Celestial Empire, but the relationship between this matter ...... It's also huge. ”

Of course, Fan Jin knew that the first Zhao'an pirate lacked a precedent, and the second Ling Yunyi himself was also difficult to decide. These pirates are like wild horses that are difficult to control, no one can guarantee when they will be in chaos again after recruiting, now they are robbers, it is normal to poison the place, as long as the officers and soldiers fight hard to win or lose, they cannot blame the governor. But if Ling Yunyi is the master, then Ling Yunyi will not be able to avoid the trouble that these pirates will cause in the future.

So the current question is whether Zhao'an can do it, what to do, and who will do it. At this time, I only heard Ling Yunyi say:

"Tomorrow, you bring this person, and I will talk to him face to face, and after talking, I will make a decision. General Sa, you can report this list back, and the two yamen will take a closer look at it and then make arrangements. At present, there are many students in Guangzhou, and they can't act rashly, and once the students shake people's hearts, things will not be easy to do. You can't let thieves get away with it, and you can't fall into the traps of others, you know? ”

"Obedience."

Ling Yunyi looked at Fan Jin again, "You said that you were going to study at home, and you were involved in this matter, it seems that this time you have no hope of ending." ”

"If this matter is successful, it can not only get rid of the troubles but also help Beijing's salary, contribute to the country, and share the worries of Zhongcheng, how can students lose their fame!"

A smile appeared on Ling Yunyi's face, "Good! As long as you have the heart to serve the country, the old man guarantees that you will not die like Xu Qingteng. Tell the banquet to be prepared outside, and you stay and have a few drinks with the old man. ”
