Ningbo Port. [No pop-up novel network]

"You say, you're here on behalf of the Lin family in Fuzhou?" Xie Hong looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who called himself Lin Xiang, and asked a little suspiciously.

After subduing the Jiangnan family, the meeting held in Yuyao Xie Mansion last year also lifted the last veil, and there was no secret for Xie Hong. Therefore, although he had not worked Fujian before this, he was still very clear about the status of the Lin family in Fuzhou.

In fact, Lin Han and the Lin family in Fuzhou are quite remarkable. The third generation of the Lin family and the five Shangshu, Lin Han said "Wen'an", such an honor, there was a Ming Dynasty, and there was only one Lin family.

Xie Hong's historical knowledge is very ordinary, and he is not from Fuzhou, so he doesn't know that the Lin family still has such a scenery, but the status of the Lin family among the Fujian scholars, he is very clear, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hundred promises, which is higher than Xie Qian's status among the Jiangnan scholars.

Because Fujian's population base is small, there are relatively few scholars, and the power in the court is naturally not too great. However, the force is not strong, but it can stand firm, I have to say, this also depends on the unity of the Fujian scholars, this unity is better than Jiangnan.

It has nothing to do with anything else, it's just that the more people there are, the more complex their minds become, and the truth is as simple as that.

knew what the Lin family and Fujian scholars did, but he didn't kill people, it wasn't that Xie Hong was soft-hearted, he also had some considerations in it.

One is time, before he set off, he had already received tangible information on the grassland. This information was obtained by Jinyiwei who ventured deep into the grassland, and the Tatars and Warat were indeed fighting among themselves, and they were fighting with real knives and guns, and in order to get this information, more than a dozen people threw their lives on the grassland. If it weren't for this, with Xie Hong's prudence, he wouldn't have believed it like that.

But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, and there was always some unlucky premonition looming in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't find a clue at all. This feeling is really terrible, if it weren't for the fact that Jiangnan's side is too important and the timing is too good, he will probably go back to the capital first to make sure things happen.

Therefore, in such a situation, he did not have time to go to Fujian, although by sea, Fujian is not far from Ningbo, and Fuzhou is even closer to the sea.

Moreover, his action against Jiangnan was not intended to kill people for the sake of simply killing people, the biggest purpose of killing these people was to interrupt the other party's plan.

Xie Hong is not really clever, and he is not very good at strategy, he can't guess what the Jiangnan people have after the defeat in Lushun. However, he can say with certainty that the other party will not stop there, and the means will continue to escalate.

Pretending to be a pirate to attack the Imperial Harbor, this is no different from a rebellion, and then upgrade, the eight achievements are on the side of the Qingjun, right? Xie Hong is not interested in a civil war, not to mention the misery, the dead are all Ming people, and it is more likely to create an opportunity for the Tartars outside the Guan, and there is nothing to be happy about winning or losing.

Therefore, Xie Hongcai counterattacked at the first time, taking advantage of the fact that the other party had no way of knowing the results of Lushun's battle, was not on guard, and the next plan was not launched, he directly launched a beheading operation to nip the opponent's plan in the bud.

Of course, his beheading operation was not very thorough, in the capital and Nanjing, and even in the localities, there are still many fish that have slipped through the net, but without the support of Jiangnan's money and food, even if they really take risks, they will not be able to set off much storm.

In addition, it is the meaning of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

Later generations seem to have such a concept, that is, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not afraid of death.

This is right and wrong, the officials of the Ming Dynasty dared to scold the emperor, and it was not one or two people who scolded, but everyone scolded together; It's not just an occasional scolding, but scolding every day, scolding all the time, scolding is above board, scolding is well known, and scolding until the emperor doesn't dare to come out of the harem, that's the end.

According to the scholars, the emperor is the supreme in the world, and if he dares to scold the emperor, is this not considered virtuous?

In the Taizu era, in order to suppress corruption, extremely harsh laws were set. However, even peeling the skin and filling the grass could not scare the officials of the Ming Dynasty, they worked tirelessly, and finally carried out the corruption to the end with the spirit of perseverance, who dares to say that they are greedy for life and afraid of death?

But it's not wrong to say that they are afraid of death, when the Tartars entered the customs at the end of the Ming Dynasty, those court officials in Beijing and Nanjing kowtowed to this called a happy, this is called a thorough, but there is still some resistance in the local area, saying that they are not afraid of death, who believes it?

Combined with the insights of later generations, Xie Hong summed up a rule, that is, as long as they follow the rules, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are not afraid of death; If they meet a master who does not follow the rules and is not reasonable, the scholars will be numb.

Unreasonable and barbaric, this is also the only specialty of the Tartars, they can use this to subdue those scholars, Xie Hong has always been humble and studious, such an advanced experience, of course, he directly copied it.

If you kill people by normal means, even if it is an ending like Liu Daxia, in the eyes of the scholars, it will still have a tragic taste; The unclear deaths of Tu Tu and Hong Zhong can also arouse the righteous indignation of the soldiers. Because they lost the struggle and were caught in the sore feet, although the means were a little out of line, they were generally within the rules.

Their families will be taken care of, and there is a possibility that future generations will be rehabilitated, so the scholars are not afraid of death and are not afraid of following in the footsteps of these people. This is the same as the officials of later generations, who like to send their families abroad, even if they hang up, but the family can continue, and even better than before, they are willing to take some risks.

Therefore, Xie Hong opened a killing ring in Jiangnan, and the effect was also excellent. Not only the many families in the south of the Yangtze River, but after the Ningbo Conference, there was also an endless stream of envoys who rushed over from Nanjing, and some officials even rushed over in person, in order to express their sincerity.

However, Xie Hong still didn't expect that the Lin family would be soft so quickly, and he thought that the other party would be as strong as Xie Qian.

"Back to the Hou Ye, my father thinks that the new policy implemented by the Hou Ye at the behest of the emperor is a policy for the benefit of the country and the people, but the intention is too high and the thinking is too far-reaching, so he didn't see the samadhi before, so there are many presumptuous moves."

Lin Xiang replied respectfully: "However, it is not too late to make amends, my father is willing to fully support the new policy, and the Hou Ye only needs to send one or two officials to pass through Fujian, which is completely barrier-free." ”

"Can you guarantee it?" Xie Hong looked at Lin Xiang with a little playfulness in his eyes.

"Qi Yu Hou Ye, it's not a villain's boast, the Han family still has some prestige in Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other coastal areas, even if there is one who doesn't open his eyes, he doesn't have to worry about Hou Ye. As for other places......"

He bowed again: "Hou Ye Mingjian, Fujian's interior is mountainous, the land is scarce, and the population is scarce, and it is not the first choice for the implementation of the new policy. ”

"The Lin family in Fuzhou really lives up to its reputation." Xie Hong bowed slightly, and he was also emotional.

In these words, Lin Xiang first showed the influence of the Lin family, but he didn't say anything, and then he came back. What's even more powerful is that he has just come into contact with the New Deal, and his understanding is not profound, but when it comes to the New Deal, he can get to the point.

The most powerful thing is that he even learned the economic principles of allowing some regions to prosper first with the help of geography, and then to lead other places. In his conscience, if Xie Hong hadn't crossed over, in the field of economics, he would really be beyond the reach of this person.

Eloquence, comprehension, and extensive knowledge, the person in front of him is just a concubine, and he is already quite good, and Lin Han's children and grandchildren are full of people in the court and the opposition, plus various branches, how many talents will be among them, it is really difficult to count.

"Thank you Lord Hou for your compliment, the Lin family will do their best in the future to serve the emperor, the Hou Ye, and the court." Lin Xiang's every sentence is very decent, and there are hints in every sentence, this kind of ability can only be possessed by children from a family, Xie Hong can only understand, let him say, but he can't say it.

"I already know that the Lin family is going to form a fleet." Xie Hong's language level is not high, but the content of his words can affect people's hearts, his pause, the formulaic smile on Lin Xiang's face also collapsed, although it was only for a moment, but it was still captured by Xie Hong's gaze.

Hehe, this is the role of power, compared to power and strategy, my brother can't even compare to a family that has not been born, but who let us cross it? Despite the lack of historical knowledge, in terms of the general trend, Brother still has a clear grasp of it, as long as this is enough.

Xie Hong said lightly: "According to the rules of the Jiangnan family who participated in the meeting, there is no need for Lord Lin to worry about opening the sea, as long as he puts Fujian in order and cooperates with the work of the administrative commissioner sent by the imperial court, it can be regarded as repaying the trust of the imperial court." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Lin Xiang let out a long sigh of relief and thanked him again and again. The Lin family will cooperate like this, in addition to being afraid, they are also optimistic about the prospect of developing Nanyang, they have been running the Luzon trade route before, how can they not know how big the benefits are?

As for the fact that only the Lin family is a special case, and the other families in Fujian are one step behind, he doesn't care about the meaning of separation and isolation. If you follow the current routine of the imperial court, then there will be no benefits to forming a party, but there is a lot of risk, and it is easy to be regarded as a chicken to set an example for monkeys.

Just look at what happened to the three elders of Tuogu. Liu Jian retreated bravely, although a son died, but the family was preserved; Li Dongyang's response was tepid, and now it is also a tepid situation; Xie Qian kept tossing, and as a result, the entire Xie family was tossed in.

Party leader leader? Forget it, it's better to make money in a down-to-earth way.

Moreover, this young marquis is also an empathetic person, and he actually saw the original intention of the Lin family's two-sided bet, but he didn't think it was wrong, and he didn't even force it to open the sea.

This kind of mind and vision is indeed outstanding, even if it is compared to the champion Hou of the Han Dynasty, he will not be inferior at all.
