Chapter 43: The Roc Garrison

Li Batian thought that when he was stuck in the sea and waterway, it would be equivalent to blocking the neck of the Lin family, and when the time came, they wouldn't give whatever they wanted?

Li Batian is also very happy, if it weren't for the fact that there was an inner ghost like Lin Dongsheng in the first room of the Lin family, it would not be easy for him to rectify Lin Hanlin, an old fox, as for Lin Hanlin's son who served as a soldier for foreigners, Li Batian didn't take it into account at all.

Because in Li Batian's view, foreigners are very arrogant, but this Guangzhou city is still the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and he has Guangdong Admiral Halder as a backer.

Although the Lin family is powerful, he doesn't believe that Lin Hanlin can take all his clippers with him and kill Lin Hanlin, and this waterway and waterway will all belong to him.

Li Batian overestimated the energy of the Lin family's houses, although they were very jealous of the docks, warehouses, and two street shops worth at least one million taels of silver that Li Batian promised, and the people of the Lin family were very short-sighted, but they couldn't believe Li Batian's empty words.

Seeing that the Lin family was all uncompetitive, Li Batian, who had promised to make a deposit for twenty shops first, also repented, making Lin Dongsheng a little bit of a person inside and out, if it wasn't for Li Batian secretly giving him the contract of five shops, Lin Dongsheng would have turned his face on the spot.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, after Lin Dongsheng and others had a secret meeting, Lin Hanlin also found his mother's old five Lin Maoda to discuss countermeasures, what the hell are Lin Dongsheng doing, Lin Hanlin didn't know for a while, what caught his attention was that he heard that Lin Dongsheng had attracted outsiders?

This is a big taboo in the clan, so Lin Dongsheng is naturally cautious, and most of the people in the know are tight-lipped, which makes Lin Hanlin feel a little embarrassed, and in desperation, he has to discuss with Lin Maoda to be more vigilant in the near future and be extra careful.

Lin Maoda nodded slightly and said: "Big brother, this is a way to prevent thieves at night, and it is not a way to prevent thieves, or we will preemptively take care of Lin Dongsheng's two or five boys?" ”

Lin Hanlin hesitated for a moment and said: "After all, he is the person under my house, and it is Haijiang who is at fault first, so let's talk about it when my son Haijiang's official body is secure!" ”

As soon as Lin Jieyu's encounter was mentioned, Lin Hanlin and Lin Maoda suddenly couldn't bear it, no wonder they had such expressions, this lack of virtue can be regarded as a great thing for Lin Haijiang!

Two days later, the battleship Taishan arrived at the port of Guangzhou, Lin Haijiang Baba accompanied the old man Lin Hanlin to the dock parade, Lawrence served as the temporary commander of the dock parade, and the Western-style honor guard made Lin Hanlin a little dizzy.

Lin Haijiang didn't expect Lawrence to cobble together a small-scale Western-style band? It's really for him to show his face.

Lawrence made a routine report to Lin Haijiang, the speed of port construction due to the large number of Indonesian young and strong laborers is very fast, the news from Miller is not optimistic, European countries began to pay attention to the manufacture and sale of ironclad ships, according to Lin Haijiang's design and installation of the latest gas engine Miller only bought two, the shipyard said that it will no longer accept the so-called unknown source of orders, Prussia Miller is actively contacting, it seems that Prussia also has a strong interest.

After loading Steward Zhao and 1,500 loyal and reliable Lin children, the Taishan left port and returned home, for in Lawrence's eyes, the filthy and messy Canton was not as good as the old port under his rule.

Accompanying Lin Haijiang's two little playmates, Lin Yong and Lin Zhong, they lost their backers because the young master went to sea, and they have been working hard in the Lin family's plundering fleet.

A large ship comparable to the flagship of the English fleet arrived at the port of Guangzhou, which naturally set off a storm of considerable scale, and the Lin father and son were the center of this storm.

The previous ironclad ship was far less impressive than this third-class battleship, and in the eyes of almost everyone, the Tarzan was the real battleship.

Ye Mingchen, who learned the news, immediately instructed Zhang Yunji to do it immediately, and he couldn't delay it and couldn't delay it, no matter whether these foreign ships could be used by me in the future, this recruitment effort was steady and solid when the court was employing people in front of him.

Just when the undercurrents of all parties were surging, news came from the Liangguang Governor's Mansion that Lin Haijiang had allowed the patrol battalion under the Liangguang Governor to be the commander of the Liangguang Governor and the garrison of Dapeng.

Almost everyone was stunned by Ye Mingchen's generosity, he was really a fifth-grade military position! Not only that, but the most important thing is that Lin Haijiang's garrison has both land and water divisions? The Lu division is not under the Guangzhou general, and the naval division is not under the Guangdong naval division?

The two words of arrest and suppression seem simple, you must know that in the Qing Dynasty, whether it is the regimental bravery, the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion, or the Han Army, there is no military department document to move hundreds of people to kill and decide, but as long as there is the word "suppression" given by the gold medal order arrow of the feudal official, you can mobilize yourself in the application for supplementary documents.

And the defense at sea was originally a very fat errand, it was originally the money bag of the Guangdong sailor, and now there is an extra hand in the money bag, even if Halder is waiting for death all day long, it will not be comfortable, but this so-called Dapeng garrison is still under the rule of the general soldier of Nanao Town, but Feng Guohui, the chief soldier of Nanao Town, can sell himself a few thin noodles? Halder also fetched fifteen buckets of water in his heart, seven up and eight down.

However, Halder warned Li Batian, who was about to move, in a very timely manner, that he couldn't do things in front of him, as long as the Lin family went out of the square city of Guangzhou, the sea was rampant, and Ye Mingchen couldn't ask what was wrong.

After receiving the resignation, Lin Haijiang really looked at this piece of kraft oil sealing paper that turned himself from a grass farmer into a common man who could fish and meat several times, and the huge Governor of Ye Mingchen and Liangguang printed bright red cinnabar made Lin Haijiang slightly stunned, this was the first time he had seen what color was so close to real blood!

Zhang Yunji, who took the benefits, still kindly reminded Lin Haijiang, who did not know the rules, for example, he said that he would go to the Liangguang Governor's Mansion early in the morning to get his notebook, and when he saw Lord Ye, he should know the etiquette, not be reckless, and remember to meet Lord Feng Guohui, the chief soldier of Nanao Town, after taking office, etc.

Lin Haijiang knew before that it was very difficult to be an official in the Qing Dynasty, and to be clever and clever was a knowledge worthy of a lifetime.

After sending away Zhang Yunji, who can be said to have returned with a full load, Lin Haijiang was taught by his father Lin Hanlin hummed again, and returned to the backyard with his surname, Lin Haijiang was really relieved, it can be said that the entire first room of the Lin family was relieved, and the undercurrent surging in the past few days was really depressing, but all the haze in front of him seemed to have disappeared?

Lin Haijiang is naturally not so naïve, he believes that the other party will never give up until he gives the opponent a fatal blow, and the calm in front of him can only be said to be because the plan made by the other party before is no longer in line with the current situation, so the other party is temporarily dormant to gather greater energy.

Lin Haijiang's most memory of the Dapeng garrison he served in was the nearby Daya Bay, where there was China's largest nuclear power cluster in later generations, and the ancient city of Pengcheng near Daya Bay still became a scenic spot.

Lin Haijiang remembered that Dapeng Town was built in the 27th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1394 AD, and it was the city of Dapeng guarding thousands of households established by the Ming Dynasty in order to fight against the Japanese invaders, referred to as Dapeng City, which was an important coastal defense military fortress in Lingnan.

Dapeng town inside and outside the city is built with bricks and stones, it is the most solid in the coastal city of Guangdong, around 325 zhang 6 feet, 1 zhang 8 feet high, there are gatehouses, enemy towers, moats and so on.

The Qing Dynasty has been repaired repeatedly, the city plane is irregular quadrilateral, there are three main streets in the city, namely Dongmen Street, Nanmen Street and Zheng Street, the main buildings have the Zuoying Bureau, the General's Mansion, the Garrison Office, the Military Uniform Bureau, the Gunpowder Bureau, the Guandi Temple, the Zhao Gong Temple, the Tianhou Temple, etc. The original pattern is basically preserved, and the east, west and south gates are still well preserved.

During the Kangxi period, it was changed to the Dapeng Naval Division Battalion and became a coastal defense military institution with jurisdiction over the eastern sea route of the Pearl River. There are nine floods in the sea fortress, and later 4 forts such as Nantou and Lantau were added. During the Opium War, it played an important role in the fight against the British invading army.

However, after the Opium War, the Lantau Fort was blown up by the British, and the Dapeng Naval Division Battalion existed in name only, and the honor of the Dapeng City was won by the famous anti-British general Lai Enjue, the former commander of Nanao Town, who fought against the enemy again in blood, and Lai Enjue, as Lin Zexu's deputy general, successfully commanded the famous Sino-British "Kowloon Naval Battle", fired the first shot of the Opium War, and was later promoted to the Admiral of the Guangdong Naval Division. In the twenty-fourth year of Daoguang (1844), the emperor approved the construction of "Zhenwei General", and sent the plaque and couplet in person.

Speaking of the almost legendary character of Lord Lai, Lin Haijiang remembers most that he has a very prominent background, which is the 170th grandson of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and the 114th grandson of Lai Shuying.

Before Lord Ryne's death, he called his five grandsons to his bedside and left a last wish, "hoping that one day, Hong Kong Island will be recovered".
