The holy order cannot be violated, Qin Lin did not dare to delay for a moment, and pushed away all the wine banquets originally arranged by Li Qiu, the governor of Caoyun, the local government of Yangzhou and Tian Qiye of Caobang, and left Han Feilian and You Zhizi to return to Nanjing to preside over the affairs of the hundred households, and took Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali on the boat on the road.

Huo Chonglou was originally a small secretary of the East Factory, and in this case, he met at the right time, and became a promising deputy envoy of appeasement, he was really overjoyed, and he bowed deeply to Qin Lin at the beginning, thanked Chief Qin for his support, and stated that all the matters of this appeasement, but Qin Lin was the first to look forward.

The next day on the boat, Yangzhou since the Caoyun Governor Li Qiu below the civil and military officials are to the wharf to say goodbye, this time to crack the earth-shattering case, in addition to the Caoyun chief military officer Pingjiang Bo Chen Wang Mo unlucky, all the lords have a reward, of course, all understand the real Qin Lin given, to the dock to send is also due to the friendship of the landlord.

Qin Lin's own position at this time was only a small Jinyi Wei deputy thousand households, but when he traveled, the flag on the dock covered the sky, the crown was like a cloud, and the second-rank and third-grade officials all lined up with all the deacons to see them off, and the majesty was more powerful than the official minister of the Qin Mission.

There was also Cao Gang Tian Qiye and Cao Gong brothers on the shore to burn incense and salute, wishing the Qin generals and princes Wandai, and the ancestral hall not far away also lit up with curling green smoke...... Huo Chonglou stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes were greedy: "Tsk, being an official to General Qin is really the only one among our factory guards!" ”

The person in charge of this big river boat is none other than the Ge Runge Sentinel who sent Qin Lin across the river several times a few days ago, and he accompanied Huo Chonglou with a smile: "What the lord said is that I heard that these officials in Yangzhou have given Chief Qin a nickname, called it timely rain, which means that the sky will rain and help the needy." ”

"What timely rain? Are you talking about the Water Margin? ”

Qin Lin walked over with a smile, and the big river boat went down the river, and the wind sent the answers of the two people on the bow of the boat to his ears in a flutter.

"Chief Qin, don't laugh," Huo Chonglou pointed at Ge Run: "Mr. Ge Qian said that the Yangzhou officialdom gave you a nickname, called Timely Rain." ”

Qin Lin choked for a moment, and touched his chin with a smile: "Are you sure?" Isn't it ghostly? ”

Ge Run bent down and smiled flatteringly: "Who dares to say anything about ghosts? And it's not called so in Yangzhou officialdom, the entire Nanzhili has spread all over it, regardless of the Yanziji White Lotus Sect's ambush, Liu Huanzhi's serial murder case or the series of cases caused by the theft of Yangzhou Caoyin, the big guys are helpless, waiting for the time to be dismissed, as soon as you come, sir, you immediately dial the clouds and say, the old men and gentlemen who were crying and waiting for the dismissal of their posts have been rewarded one by one, promoted and made a fortune, isn't it timely rain for the chief? ”

Saying that, Ge Run mentioned his official uniform again, and his smile became brighter and brighter: "Not to mention those high-ranking officials and nobles, just take the villain as an example, the sentry officer has been the general manager for many years, and there has been no good news of promotion. ”

It's true, even Ge Run's small role has been promoted because of Qin Lin.

Yes, for the vast majority of people, Qin Lin is timely rain, of course, a very small number of people think that he is a messenger of hell who is even more terrible than demons, such as Huang Lianzu and Liu Huanzhi, but they have no chance to say what they think of Qin Lin, because they have already gone to hell.

"Come, little ones come here", Huo Chonglou greeted the Jinyi captain of Qin Lin's personal soldier team: "You are fortunate to follow Chief Qin, it is a blessing from the previous life, Huo has been in the East Factory for 20 years, and the official fortune is darker than coal...... As long as you're a person, you all know how to do it, right? ”

The captains all know what Huo Chonglou means, and outsiders are so complimentary, what else is there to hide as a subordinate? One by one, they hugged their fists and bowed down, and they all called Qin Chief to death, and they went to the soup to fight the fire and never give up.

Huo Chonglou looked at Qin Lin, and the mighty demeanor of the master of the East Factory revealed obvious flattery, like a tamed beast squatting in front of the beast trainer.

Qin Lin smiled and patted Huo Chonglou on the shoulder, he completely understood what the other party meant, and everything was unspeakable.

The contact point left by Jin Yingji was on Sansha Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Qin Lin took a big river boat down the river, passing through Taixing, Jiangyin, and Nantong, and arrived at Sansha Island.

The Yangtze River has reached the mouth of the sea and the river surface has been extremely wide, looking at the small black spot between the water and the sky in the distance, only to feel that the territory is dozens of miles close, it is really a very large island.

There is a small water village in Chagang, which looks like a fishing village on the outside, and there are indeed fishermen casting nets to fish, but in fact it is a smuggling trade transit station set up by Wufeng maritime merchants at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Not far from here, there are two thousand households in Chongmingsha and Liuhebao, but there will definitely not be half of the navy army here to cause trouble, and the smuggling activities in coastal areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong have been carried out almost completely openly in the Wanli period.

To Qin Lin's surprise, there were two big sea ships parked here, with round heads and round heads, Chinese-style hard sails, and wide and fat hulls, which were the overlords of the Oriental Ocean World, the lucky boat.

Could it be that the new shipment from overseas has been carried out?

Seeing the big river boat of the Yangtze River Sailor coming, the water village and the two Fu boats did not move, and a sailor on the watchtower of the Fu Boat also circled his hands into a horn and shouted loudly: "Which military master is the Yangtze River Sailor?" Our Boss Jin's usual practice is to give enough, and next month's will not be paid until the 15th, but there is no rule to get it in advance! ”

Qin Lin smiled secretly, it was originally the relationship between officers and soldiers and robbers, but now it has long been a nest of snakes and rats, so instead of enforcing the current-a-the-sea ban, restricting the powerless and powerless ordinary people along the coast, and allowing the powerful smuggling groups and corrupt officials to make a fortune, it is better to lift the sea ban as soon as possible, trade to make the people profitable, and the imperial court to collect taxes from it.

Huo Chonglou watched the situation of the water village and found that there were many people holding muskets, and there were two thick Franc machine guns on the battlements of the wall, and he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat in his palms - the power of muskets and artillery is not something that any master can resist! These pirates don't know what to do, if they do something rebellious...... On the contrary, Qin Lin, who didn't know martial arts, was very calm, and he didn't care about the other party's armament, Huo Chonglou couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he saw it, and his old face was slightly red.

Qin Lin gestured with his eyes, Niu Dali pulled his throat, and shouted with full anger: "It's the imperial court to appease the envoy Jinyi Wei Qin Deputy Qianhu has arrived, you are waiting for the barbarians, why don't you come to greet them quickly?" ”

There was silence for a while, and suddenly there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and the people in the water village ran out of the gate of the village, and the sailors on the two lucky boats rushed to the deck, all shouting and laughing at Qin Lin.

On the first lucky boat, Quan Zhengyin, dressed in North Korea, was Qin Lin's old acquaintance, and when he came up, he kowtowed to Qin Lin, beckoned the two boats to come closer, and led all the leaders to board the big river boat, scrambling to kneel down to Qin Lin, all with happy faces.

Huo Chonglou saw clearly that these people were not carrying any weapons, and he knew that Qin Lin was like a god, and his worries were purely mediocre people.

"Chief Qin came uninvited, it is the heavens that will not die, my Wufeng Maritime Merchant!" Quan Zhengyin got up from the ground, although his tone was a little strange in Chinese, he was still fluent, and said happily: "These two Dafu ships were sent by my master to pick up Chief Qin to Songpu, but I didn't expect to meet them as soon as I arrived at Jiangkou, isn't Mazu bless us?" ”

Heaven does not die five peaks maritime merchants? In the midst of jubilation, Qin Lin keenly noticed Quan Zhengyin's wording, and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that you have encountered some big trouble?" Since she is the official who took over the official, why didn't Jin Sakura Ji come in person? ”

Qin Lin always thought that it was Jin Yingji who was dying that night, although he didn't know if she was born and didn't take it seriously, or there were other reasons, in short, he was "not an outsider" in his subconscious, even if nothing happened in the future, at least he should give more face than others.

It can be seen that Jin Sakurahime is very likely to have encountered a problem.

"The chief is really powerful, you can guess accurately!" Quan Zhengyin gave a thumbs up, his expression was not as happy as he was at the beginning, and there was worry between his eyebrows: "Chief Qin doesn't know, the Unu Shimazu Yoshihisa defeated the Otomo clan last year, and his power has increased greatly, and now he is in the position of the guardian of the Three Kingdoms, so he ordered us to surrender to him, and the messenger sent is in the old nest of our Wufeng Maritime Merchants in Songpujin!" ”

The most southwestern of the three islands is the island of Kyushu, in which the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain served as the guardian of Satsuma, Osumi and Tsuyo during the Muromachi shogunate period.

After that, the Shimazu family branched out, divided into many tribes, and gradually became chaotic.

Until 30 years ago, there was a Shimazu Takahisa, who was also a "famous general" in both civil and military affairs, and with the help of his father, he finally defeated the Shimazu family in Saska, and pacified Minamisatsuma more than 20 years ago. After forming an alliance with the neighboring Liver Fu clan, the Shimazu army, with advanced weapons such as iron cannons and brave troops, defeated the alliance of the people of Satsuma Iririin and Ryogari, and subdued Satsuma's last hostile force, the Irifuin clan, eight years ago, and unified Satsuma.

The current head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Yoshihisa, is an out-and-out Toei lord who, on the basis of regaining the protection of the Three Kingdoms, launched an ambitious hegemony in Kyushu in an attempt to unify the entire island of Kyushu.

Last year, the Shimazu family's most formidable enemy, Bungo Kunitomo Sorin, led an army to attack. Shimazu Yoshihisa defeated the enemy advance with the tactic of "Orino Ambush", and then attacked the big friendly forces in the confusion with ambush troops. The Great Friendly Army suffered a crushing defeat, with numerous casualties, and most of the main generals were killed.

At this time, there was no longer any force in Kyushu that could resist the Shimazu family, and the Goho maritime merchants, headquartered in Matsuuratsu, were also targeted by the ambitious Shimazu Yoshihisa, and he sent envoys to coerce and lure the Goho maritime merchants to surrender to him.

At that time, Wang Zhi could not tolerate the Ming Dynasty and could only set up his headquarters in Matsuurajin, but at that time he was the "King of Hui" who was high above him, and he was the "Mr. Wufeng" who monopolized the sale of Western muskets, and the Otomo family, the Oda clan, and the Shimazu clan were not his opponents, and he could not help him at all when he watched a Chinese sit on the throne and claim the throne.

Unexpectedly, twenty years later, the feng shui took turns, and the Wufeng maritime merchants were greatly injured by a series of events after Wang Zhi was beheaded, but the Shimazu clan became stronger, and the pattern of the original customer bullying became the current store bully.

Jin Yingji stayed in Matsuuratsu to deal with the envoy of the Shimazu family, and sent a ship to Qin Lin to ask what was going on with the appeasement, so Quan Zhengyin appeared on Sansha Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"Hmph", Qin Lin sneered twice, if the little devil annexed the Wufeng Maritime Merchant, wouldn't the East Asian Seas become the world of Japanese slaves?

He immediately ordered: sail straight to Matsuurajin and carry out the appeasement plan!
