Chapter 84: The Nation's Strategy

As he spoke, he personally came to Fan Jin's side and untied him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You believe me, I have no ill will towards Fan Gongzi and the third sister. Brother Tong and your affairs, I will find a way to solve it. Brother Tong is a reasonable person, if I speak, he will definitely give face, as long as everyone is his own person in the future, I guarantee that he will not have the slightest disadvantage to Fan Gongzi. ”

Fan Jin didn't answer his words, but asked rhetorically: "Master Lin, Your Excellency is the Dragon King of the world, Fan is a weak scholar, and he really doesn't dare to compare with Zhuge Wuhou." I'm afraid that I can't help Captain Lin because of my weakness, but I have become a burden. ”

"Master Fan, you are too modest. We rough people don't say kind words, we can say whatever we want. I said that if you can help me, you can help me, as long as you are willing, I will keep you a place in charge. If nothing else, just say that your paintings, as far as the government is concerned, are just things for the old men to have a pastime, but for us, they are related to the ability of the family. We need to draw drawings to build ships, but none of my people have the means of Fan Gongzi. Of course, we can build ships based on experience, but experience can only build old ships, and now the Tessians are using new ships, which are much better than ours. I also want to imitate those Tessie ships and use them to save face for us Han people. But to build a new ship, there must be drawings, and it is certainly impossible to understand it just by talking. In addition to this, maps and charts also need to be drawn, and if they are drawn poorly, they may require human lives to fill in. Now it is all up to the old sailor's brain, and a few strokes are used to guess, and if someone can draw it, it is much more reliable than relying on experience. Fan Gongzi is now a Qing guest, nothing more than to fight for the governor to save face, if he cooperates with us, it is to fight for us Han people overseas, which of these two roads is more worth taking, is it easy to think? ”

Fan Jin didn't rush to answer, but looked around, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Ship Master Lin, if I say now that I agree to join the gang, will you believe it? If I say no, and you forcibly take me to the ship, I really can't help it. It's like this on the left and right, so why bother asking? ”

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Indeed, as Fan Gongzi said, if I forcibly take Gongzi away, you can't help it." But then Lin can only get a disloyal subordinate, not a friend who is equal to each other, this is not the way my Lin fleet does things. My Lin's fleet can have today's foundation, all thanks to the help of all siblings, in our fleet, as long as people, not dogs. ”

Seeing that Fan Jin didn't speak, Lin Feng said again: "I know very well that Fan Gongzi now eats and lives well, and has a good future, who wants to be a robber?" But I think that since you are a scholar, you must know what a conscience is, and you should think about others in addition to yourself. You can have food and clothing without mud on your hands, how do we people live, have you ever thought about it? Those of us who fish beg for our lives at the hands of the dragon king every day, one is afraid of the wind and waves, and the other is afraid of the tide, and there is no food to eat if we don't fish for a day. And you staff members can eat enough and earn silver taels as long as they talk and play chess, do you think this is fair? People call me a thief, and the government says we are thieves, but in my opinion, the government is the real thief. Take this Ling Yunyi as an example, he is famous for being loose in hand and spending money like water. But where did all this money come from, and what penny did not have the blood and sweat of us poor people? ”

"Ship Master Lin, what you said may be true, but what do these truths have to do with me."

"Of course it matters, I invite you to join the gang, not to ask you to kill people and set fire to damage yin morality. It's for you to come back for the world, in exchange for a fair point! ”

Lin Feng stood up and pointed to the big men behind him, "They are all shackles like me. We were born on a ship, and we were not allowed to go ashore until we died. The child is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, no matter how smart he is, he can't study, even if someone is as smart as Fan Gongzi, he can't rely on the pen to fight like you. Fishing not only involves sweating but also bleeding, and if you don't do it well, you will die. Most of the fish caught in this way have to be taxed by the government, and the rest of the fish is not sold if it wants to, but can only be disposed of by the fish dealer. The money earned from a hard day's work is not enough for the family's expenses, and the fish on the boat are hungry every day. Back then, the imperial court fought with the Francophiles, and the sailors didn't use it, so they let us be the pioneers and send the firearms to death. The Yiren boat is powerful, the imperial court sailors can't beat it, and some people offer a plan to burn it with a fire boat, and it is the fish boat we rely on for our livelihood, put firewood and grass to light a fire to fight. Fight a war, burn more than a dozen boats of Yiren, and use more than 1,000 of our fishing boats, those fishing boats are just weapons for the government, but for us, they are all belongings! After the battle is over, we have to find a way to live by ourselves, and the reward is all taken by the sailor, and we don't get a penny. Think about it in other words, what can we do if we don't rebel? It's not that we naturally like to be robbers, it's that if we don't be robbers, there is no other way to live. It's not that we want to hold a knife, it's the way of the world that forces us to only hold a knife before it is possible to eat a full meal. ”

He walked up to Fan Jin, "Fan Gongzi, I admit that it will be very hard to walk this road with us. You can't just draw a few pictures and write articles like you do now. No matter what you want, you can only change it with your own hands. But in South Australia, we are all equal, there is no distinction between high and low. Under the Ming Dynasty, no matter how capable you are, you can only be ghosts. No matter how big the official is, he is just a more powerful ghost, and there is the emperor on it, and you can't get ahead. It's only in South Australia that you have the opportunity to be human. ”

"Being a staff member is a ghost, and being a water ghost is not a ghost? The owner of the forest boat is the dragon king of the water, and he can give orders, so how good is the situation of the people below? ”

When several big men heard this, they all looked at Fan Jin angrily, but Lin Feng said with a straight face: "This is Fan Gongzi's misunderstanding." Our Lin family fleet only has brothers, and there is no humility. There are many dangers in sailing on the sea, and no one says that it is not possible. Most of the time the man who has the final say is the captain, but sometimes he is an old helmsman or an old sailor. As long as he can take everyone through the storm safely, he can have the final say, which depends on ability rather than identity. In other words, in our fleet, we don't look at your background, we don't look at how great you are, we only look at how capable you are. If you have any ability, I will guarantee what kind of position you can get, isn't it good for everyone to rely on their ability to speak? ”

It can be seen that Lin Feng's emotions are a little excited, his ambitions may be very ambitious, but it is not easy to find a suitable target to talk to. Pirates are a very realistic group, they can recognize interests, but they don't talk much about ideals.

Reasoning or philosophies with them is equivalent to playing the harp to a cow. Lin Feng has a lot of things in his stomach and can't find anyone to communicate with, and Fan Jin, who is a scholar, is obviously the best negotiation partner.

From his point of view, convincing a scholar also has a great sense of achievement, but for Fan Jin, it is a long delay. He believed that no matter how sluggish the garrison force in Guangzhou was, it should also react at this time, and start looking for himself, as long as he could delay for a while, there would be a little more hope of escape.

As for Lin Feng's proposition, he wouldn't take it to heart at all. He smiled and asked rhetorically:

"Ability? This word is too empty, I can lift a pen, but I can't row, this is called having the ability or not having the ability? Another example is a bookkeeper, he can play a good abacus, but he can't pull a five-bucket bow, is such a person considered to have skills or not? ”

Fan Tong said angrily: "Brother-in-law, this kid doesn't know how to lift, so just give him a knife." Otherwise, take him back to the island and see what else he has to say. ”

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "He is a scholar, not a hero of the green forest." Using this method, we still can't get Fan Gongzi to cooperate with us. And what Fan Gongzi asked is also reasonable, and I have thought about the question he said many times. It's not too fair for us to do this now, because some people who don't have the power don't mean they don't have the ability, and excluding them is not the best policy for us. ”

He said to Fan Jin: "Actually, this is also the reason why I want Fan Gongzi to join the gang. We are all rough people, and most of us are laymen when it comes to things like the establishment. At most, if you listen to people talk about ancient times or watch plays, you know a little bit of skin, and if you really want to do things decently, you have to use readers. ”

"Establishment?" Fan Jin was stunned for a moment, "The owner of the forest is a hero of the green forest, why does he need to establish a system?" It's good to just seal a word side by side king, or a dragon brother and a tiger brother. ”

"If it's just a small fight, as Fan Gongzi said, there is nothing wrong with it. But if a state is to be established, there must be a charter. A country like a group of people messing around can't last long. ”

Liang Pandi has been a little timid since he saw Fan Tong, and he didn't dare to speak, and then he couldn't help but say: "Lin Fang, what country are you talking about?" I don't understand. You are the dragon king of the sea, and I admire you for giving orders to lead the two oceans, but when it comes to any country, this is far away. ”

Fan Tong sneered: "Slut! As I said earlier, you women have long hair and short knowledge, what do you know? The major event we are preparing for now is the founding of the country! Listen, it's a self-reliant country! My brother-in-law is our emperor, and we are the founding fathers and relatives of the emperor. You would have had the opportunity to wear a phoenix jacket and be a lady of the command, but I didn't expect you to be so cheap......"

Lin Feng stopped Fan Tong, "We didn't build the country for this. Third sister, I didn't want to talk about the founding of the country, but if I didn't, you would treat me as a robber. Yes, we are just preparing to build a nation. ”

He pointed to the door of the warehouse, "There are many poor brothers on this dock and even in the city of Guangzhou who are willing to help me. Not because I gave them silver, but because I gave them hope, gave them a hope to be a human being. The people who support us the most are those who live overseas. Fan Gongzi also lives by the sea, and must know how many people go to sea every year to survive. In the countries of Nanyang, there are many of our fellow villagers who do business and work. People are cheap when they leave their hometowns, and most of everyone's lives are very hard. The people look down on us, and they want us to work, but they don't want us to be in power. Those who had no money were driven by them as slaves, and those who had money were killed by them as pigs and sheep. In the eyes of the court, they are the people, whether they live or die. Immigrants without the support of the imperial court are like children without their mothers, what can they do except be bullied? Others may be able to see this, but I, Lin, can't look past it! What I want to do is not the Dragon King of the Sea, but to fight for us Ming people! ”

His voice suddenly rose to a higher level, and the warehouse was closed, and the lighting was not good, and it was all lit by the lights. In the flickering lights, Lin Feng's figure became extremely tall, this simple and unpretentious fisherman, at this moment, it was like a god descending into the world. A ray of sunlight shone into the warehouse, dispelling some of the darkness, but it was soon swallowed up by the darkness.

"There are so many Han Chinese in us, as long as we join forces, even if there are two top-level Yi people, those Yi people who can fight can kneel down and surrender. But the current situation is that we are being oppressed by those razors, killing when we want to kill, beating when we want, and simply dishonoring the face of our ancestors. In the final analysis, we have no one to lead, so we can only be angry. What I want to do is to unite those overseas brothers and make a vigorous career! The third sister, I know the fourth sister, is in Greater Luzon. She was sold by Ling Zun to a maritime merchant, and the maritime merchant transferred her to a red-haired ghost. The red-haired ghost scolded her and didn't treat her as a human being. I just killed that red-haired ghost to be with her. And she is just one of our countless folks, as long as you join in, we can meet with all the folks, and we can build our own country together. ”

Fan Jin didn't allow Liang Pandi to speak, so he took over first. "Statehood? Nanao Island, where do you plan to build a country? It's better to find a mountain and seal a king by yourself. ”

Lin Fengdao: "I also know that Nanao Island can only temporarily suspend its troops, and cannot be the national capital." Even if we want to establish a country, we will not build a country on the land of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what the court thinks of us, we don't really want to be enemies of the court. Corrupt officials, corrupt officials, bullies, and local tyrants, they force us poor people to have no way to live, so I can only take the poor to fight with them, seek justice for myself, and fight for a way to live. Now that we have a way to live, we don't need to fight the government to the end, what I really want to fight is Yiren. ”

"Kill people? Where are the Yi people? ”

"The Yi people on the sea, these ghosts have come to Daming a long time ago, first the little Buddha Lang man, and then the big Buddha Lang man, and there have been red-haired ghosts in the past two years. There are very few red-haired ghosts at the moment, and they haven't become much of a climate, but the momentum is very strong, if you don't give them some power, there will be more and more in the future, and I'm afraid it will be a problem for our henchmen. Just like the big and small Francophone people, they are not very many, but they have powerful firearms and fierce people. Murder and arson, all kinds of evil, destroyed the country of Luzon, killed all the kings, and became the king himself. If they develop their strength, I'm afraid that even Daming will be beaten in by them. When the old shipowner was alive, he could still suppress these people, but since the old shipowner died, the dragons on the sea had no leader, and they couldn't suppress these ghosts, but they had the upper hand. ”

"These demons do not treat us as human beings, they rob us of our property, they insult our sisters, they kill our brothers. There must be someone to give them a little color to see, but I can't do it alone, I must gather all the heroes on the sea, and combine the strength of everyone to be able to meet the Yiren. And if you want heroes from all walks of life to obey orders, you must first have a name, and the biggest name is the establishment of a country. Isn't it good to establish a country that belongs to the people of the Ming Dynasty and to the sons of the Han family? When this matter is done, Fan Gongzi is Zhao Pu of the Great Song Dynasty, a figure like Liu Qingtian in this dynasty, I will make you famous in history, and you will be better than being a staff member. ”

Fan Jin recalled in his mind that his knowledge of history was average, and he could not remember the time of specific historical events clearly. However, relying on the experience of playing the Great Voyage in his previous life, it is estimated that most of the people who are in the vicinity of Daming are Portuguese and Spaniards. As for the red-haired ghost, it could be the Dutch.

I have to admit that Lin Feng has some vision, these people do take root in the surrounding areas of Daming, such as the Portuguese are now only renting Macau, paying tribute to Daming every year, and being second-class citizens. When it came to the Qing Dynasty, it simply didn't even pay the money, and it became a country within a country.

If Lin Feng does it...... Maybe it all will be different. But thinking about history, I don't remember Lin Feng, most of the time, he didn't succeed. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he had a plan in his heart first, and looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile: "Ship Master Lin, I didn't expect Your Excellency to have such ambitions, Fan Mou was disrespectful." It's not that we can't talk about cooperation, but I have one condition, I don't know if the owner can agree. ”

He pointed his finger at Liang Pandi, "Let her go, I'll go to South Australia with you." No matter what big things you do, don't take her with you, let the third sister feel at ease to be her ordinary person, and I will help you. ”
