Chapter 107: The Dead (I)
As the sun rises, the morning fog will disperse, and the cool wind blows on the face, blocking out the sunlight and making it impossible to feel the heat at all, which is the perfect weather in the middle of summer. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Good weather, there will definitely be good luck," Lin Haishan thought.
The Ming Dynasty was an era of superstition, especially for those who ate the bowl of pirates. From the moment she walked out of the inn, she was praying to Mazu Niangniang and begging for shelter. It was not considered whether the god, known for his benevolence, would favor a pirate like her.
Since I can remember, I have grown up in that kind of lawless environment, and I have seen a lot of things like murder and arson done by my brothers and sisters, and even women in the middle of the silver, and it is no longer a crime. The law of the jungle and the winner have everything, which is perfectly normal for her. According to her old point of view, she now has to ask Fan Jin, and it is natural for her to take advantage of her because of this, and of course, it is normal to find an opportunity to dismantle Fan Jin in the future.
If there is a mistake, she must admit it, and she must stand up when she is beaten, this is her most simple outlook on life. Now that the strength of the officers and soldiers is stronger than their own, it is reasonable for them to bow their heads and even be hacked to death. Since she wants to ask for a job, she has to put down her body and pay the price, she doesn't have the luxury of expecting everyone to pass the test smoothly, she only hopes that Mazu Niangniang will bless her and leave a trace of vitality for her eldest brother's subordinates.
It is impossible for the 100,000 troops to be stationed in the city, and only a few cronies are really in the city. The soldiers had already begun their drills, shouts were heard in the wind, and groups of soldiers armed with spears or muskets patrolled to and fro to maintain order. The armor is bright, the swords and guns are dazzling, at least in terms of equipment, these people have the appearance of elite soldiers.
No matter how the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are vulnerable when they talk on weekdays, the huge number of 100,000 is placed here, Lin Haishan knows very well in her heart that she can't beat .......
On weekdays, she prides herself on being a wild and bold girl, who thinks that she is not afraid of heaven and earth, and if necessary, even the emperor dares to kill you. But when she finally came to the outside of the governor's yamen, and saw the tall stone archway and the strong, long-bodied guards under the archway from a distance, her heart still twitched uncontrollably.
The prestige of the government is not just talking, the governor of Liangguang represents not only the military power of the two provinces, but also a huge empire behind it. The royal law and court system have always been despised by these thieves, and when the embodiment of these things is really in front of him, Lin Haishan has to admit that recklessness is recklessness after all, and the government is the official government.
She only felt as if someone had pressed a few stones on her shoulder, and her steps became extremely heavy, and even her breathing became chaotic. looked sideways, but saw Fan Jinjin calmly, shaking the folding fan and nodding at her with a smile, as if to tell her: Don't be afraid, everything has me. It's just this casual nod, Lin Haishan's heart has settled down a little: with him, everything may be better.
A dignified man in the green forest, he actually wants a scholar who doesn't know martial arts to be brave, and he will definitely lose his life if he says it, this matter can only be hidden in his heart...... I can't say anything about anyone. Lin Haishan swore in her heart, but her body was still subconsciously closer to Fan Jin.
Fu Liang has followed Yin Zhengmao for many years, and has seen a lot of civil and military officials who come here to report on their work, whether it is a military general who has been killed like a hundred battles or a civil minister known as Geng Jie, he can't help but be worried and nervous when he arrives here. Like Fan Jin, such a calm person is very rare, and he can't help but praise in his heart: No wonder Brother Chen wants to worship him as a teacher, although this scholar has no fame, but he is really the style of the prime minister, with this courage, the future future will not be bad.
Fu Liang went in to report, and it didn't take long for news to come in, asking Lin to go in to meet the governor, while Fan Jin was arranged in the guest room and received by a special person. The person who entertained Fan Jin was also a scholar, in his early thirties, full of bookish face, and his gestures were full of Confucian temperament. Of course, this age will not be a Wenzong or an old scholar in this province, as far as Fan Jin is concerned, most of them are Yin Zhengmao's staff or think tanks.
The two met and informed each other of their names, this scholar's name is Luo Sixian, he claims to be a non-talented talent, his biggest specialty is ink making, and following the army is nothing more than doing some paperwork, nothing is great. This kind of talk can be known without asking, but it must be humble.
Yin Zhengmao's hometown of Huizhou, like Zhaoqing Duanzhou, is famous for making inkstones. Listening to his accent with a strong Huizhou accent, and he calls himself an ink maker, most of them are Yin Zhengmao's fellow villagers. Such a person must be a confidant, and the success or failure of the whole Zhao'an matter may be in his thoughts, Yin Zhengmao sent him to receive Fan Jin, obviously there are some important things to ask. The success or failure of Zhao'an, the fate of tens of thousands of pirates and even 100,000 officers and soldiers, actually did not depend on the dialogue between Lin and Yin Zhengmao, but was decided by the dialogue between the two scholars.
The two talked a few words, and Luo Sixian changed his words, "Fan Gongzi, I have already seen Ling Zhongcheng's letter, Dazhongcheng mentioned that Fan Gongzi has a plan to get rid of this group of pirates through Zhao'an, and he will also contribute a huge amount of money to the imperial court." Of course, it is a good thing, and the army has long wanted to sweep away this thief, but it is not easy to do this. As far as Childe's plan is concerned, not only must he take risks, but he must also be sincere among the pirates. How much do you think the Lin family has to surrender? ”
Fan Jin smiled slightly, knowing that the drama meat is finally here.
In addition to praising the military aircraft and entertaining the article, it is also incumbent on the staff to share the worries of their own owners. Limited to his identity, some things are inconvenient for Yin Zhengmao to say, and some things can't be said at all. But you can't say anything, things still have to be done, and this requires the staff to come forward. The person Fan Jin and Yin Zhengmao talked about can only be a spring and white snow, loyal to the country, and when talking with Luo Sixian, they have to say some useful words.
"The pirate's heart is seeking peace...... Very sincerely. These people have no brains and don't know how to express sincerity, so they have to use the simplest way to send money. Knowing that the imperial court was underutilized, they were willing to sacrifice their treasures for forgiveness. The amount of this amount will not be too small, and they can't say the specific number, but it is related to the gold collection of the former Song royal family, which should be very considerable. ”
"Does the Prince Mansion hide gold? I've heard this news too, but when I think about it, it's mostly nonsense, so it may not be accurate, right? Over the years, the island has been occupied by thieves many times, and even if there is hidden gold, most of it has been stolen and excavated by thieves, and I am afraid that there is not much left. ”
"Senior Luo, this is what you always think about. The news of the prince's house hiding gold has been spread for so long, and it has been widely spread in our local area, and it must have some roots. The terrain of Nanao Island is complicated, and thieves can't touch it island by island, and some places are only shown by the land when the tide recedes, and the sea water is when the tide rises. Although the robbers have taken possession of South Australia, it does not necessarily mean that they will be able to dig up the treasure. Moreover, they may also bury their own money in it, after all, they cannot take their entire family as a thief. It's easy to die in this business, maybe the money is not spent, the person is killed, and the money becomes ownerless. Lin Feng is desperate to fight South Australia this time, maybe it is for this silver. ”
"What about the money...... Is it true? ”
"I think there should be, only the numbers are inaccurate, they have no accounts to check, where to get the counts. When the gold and silver arrive, it is indispensable to ask Senior Luo to check and collect it. ”
Luo Sixian thought for a while, "If there is really this money, then for the imperial court, it will solve a big problem." Fan Gongzi and sit widely, wait for me to make the army, and then reason. ”
He didn't go for a long time, and when he turned back, he brought Yin Zhengmao's words again, asking Fan to go to the flower hall to talk. When I arrived at the flower hall, I saw an old man in his sixties on the main seat, with a rectangular face and two nasolabial folds that were deep and long, which made this person's face look a little terrifying. Dressed in a red regular uniform and wearing a gauze hat, just looking at the color of the official robe, you know that it must be Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Liangguang.
Although he is an old man, his face is full of red light, and his complexion and energy are only stronger than those of middle-aged people. Lin Haishan was not present, and it was obvious that she did not need to participate in the next conversation
After the visit, Yin Zhengmao looked Fan Jin up and down, "Fan Jin...... The Nanhai case was the first, but it fell first in the Guangzhou government test, which is also a rare anecdote in my Daming field. But this is nothing, that is, the current Shoufu Jiangling Xianggong, when he took the township examination that year, he was also pressed by Shengsheng, and if it weren't for this, the official would not have had the opportunity to be in the same subject as Yuan Weng. As long as you have the talent to learn, you will not miss the time of this subject. Brother Yangshan's letter is very praising you, and you are also very famous in Zhaoqing, the portrait of Pan Sheng is what you painted? ”
"If you return to the army, it is just a villain's clumsiness. The means are low, and the army is laughing. ”
"You're welcome, your painting is very good, just rely on your painting and the wound suture cleaning method you offered, it is enough to protect your future. Although Chen Luan said in the submission that he offered the prescription himself, he didn't dare to lie to me, and he recruited everything as soon as he asked. Now that you have to fight a big battle, with the recipe you offered, you can reduce the number of casualties and many officers and soldiers, this is a great merit, and this official has written it down for you. It is a benefit that you have this method, and it is a greater benefit to be able to give credit to the military attache without fighting for merit. Whether you are an official or a man, knowing how to be humble and indisputable will be of great benefit to others and yourself. ”
"The golden and jade words of the army are well said, and the students must keep them in mind and dare not forget them."
"Serving the country and contributing to the country, there is more than one way, if your ability is a big case, a future is also a matter of care. But with your talents, if you use your painting skills or prescriptions as officials, it is tantamount to self-destruction of the future, and what future does Zuoza have? Your career is still in the field after all. It's like this pirate recruitment, you shouldn't have been involved. ”
"Students understand. It's just that people don't look for things, and things are also looking for people, and students are helpless. ”
"I have seen Brother Yangshan's letter, and I can understand your suffering, but outsiders may not know what is involved, and if there is any misunderstanding about you, it will be very unfavorable to you. In the future, this kind of thing can be avoided. ”
"The student made a note of it."
Yin Zhengmao's tone softened a little more, "I also understand that it is not easy for you to help the government catch Lin Feng, and it is not easy not to entangle with his henchmen." If those people don't want you, they may have to harm you, your plan that will be calculated, not many people know, don't worry about leaking the news, if the plan is sold, sweep away these ghosts, and return the people of the two provinces to a peaceful world, it is also your great achievement. ”
"The army is strategized and used like a god, and this march will definitely sweep away the ugly and clean world, and the students dare not share the merits. When things are done, the two Guangli Shu will remember the grace of the army, and live and work in peace and contentment in the future without hearing the golden drum, and every family should be grateful for the kindness of the army, and the family will also provide a Shangsheng Lu position, hoping that the heavens will bless the officers of the system with prosperous luck and wealth for thousands of years. ”
Yin Zhengmao said: "To ensure the safety of one party and return the peace of the people, this is the duty that officials should fulfill, and they should not repay the favor of the monarch by taking credit for food, and those who are officials must always take their own crown and wear their own crowns, and do as many things as they can." This official lives in Zhaoqing with 100,000 soldiers, and he is ready to wipe out this gang of pirates. Your plan can indeed reduce casualties, but it is easier said than done, and the risks are greater. On the same day, Hu Xiangmao (Hu Zongxian) leveled the Wufeng Rebellion, and the credit was in Sheji, and the people in the southeast should be grateful for his kindness. However, Xia Zheng, who worked for him and deceived Wang Zhi, was killed by pirates and died under the chaotic blade. And Wang Zhi just wants to be the king of Song, but Lin Feng wants to claim to be lonely, his sin is ten times that of Wang, Wang Zhi can not borrow to die, how can Lin Feng be exempt? Then rest the thieves, how can they spare you? You...... It's playing with fire. ”
His tone became colder, "You are very clever and well-read, and pirates are a bunch of foolish and stubborn people who are easily at your mercy. It would be a mistake to think so. This official has been in the military for a long time, and he has dealt with such people a lot, and he is very familiar with their habits. They don't read, they can't read, they can't read, and they don't have a clear mind, but that doesn't mean they're really easy to fiddle with. Thieves are cunning and deceitful, and there is no shortage of intrigues. As far as Zhao'an is concerned, we want to use the name of Zhao'an to sweep away this group of thieves, and they are not in the name of Zhao'an, to carry out a strategy of delaying the army, since ancient times the soldiers and bandits have different paths, and they must always kill them all, in order to repay the blood debt for the innocent people in the coastal provinces. These people are doomed to die! ”
Fan Jin secretly said in his heart: That's really the case. There was a look of course on his face: "The student understands." The pirates have done the opposite, and they must be cut off. However, the terrain of Nanao is complex, and there are both natural hazards and artificially built barriers, so if you attack it, you are only afraid that the official health will lose too much. Students are willing to contribute to the country and outwit the bandits. ”
Yin Zhengmao didn't answer, but said: "This official can tell you two things, the imperial court's disposal of Tao Jianzhi and Hou Shouyong has arrived, Tao Jianzhi is dismissed, and Hou Shouyong is transferred to the Criminal Division. As soon as you go to the fast, you will have no obstacles in the imperial examination, even if you miss this subject, you can also end the subject, and the good future cannot be disappointed. If you wish to go back to study, the officer will immediately order a ship for you. ”
It turns out that the teacher has been promoted...... Fan Jin secretly rejoiced in his heart that his teacher had been promoted, and the prefecture and county targeted it, and it was a common solution to transfer it together. However, the prefect picks the seal, the prefect enters Beijing, and it has been seen very clearly who loses and who wins, and it can definitely be regarded as a big victory if the prefect can win with the prefect.
And it is a clear stream in the matter, and the position is humble and powerful, and it can even be separated from the head of the book. Even if he is promoted to the seventh level, he is reluctant to go, which is considered a first-class position, and the teacher has such a good future, and it may be more convenient to take care of himself in the future than the county order.
Yin Zhengmao handed over this bottom, also for the sake of Ling Yunyi's face, and he didn't want to be in danger again. If he has the idea of retreating now, Lin Haishan is destined to not be able to get out of this yamen, and the Lin fleet is destined to be wiped out by Yin Zhengmao by force.
Thinking of the exploding hair, the wild tattoos, and the idea of building a country overseas and competing for the advantages of the sea with foreign countries, Fan Jin was silent for a moment and saluted: "The student is willing to serve the army, first get rid of the coastal troubles, and sweep away the thieves in South Australia." ”
