Chapter Fifty-Eight

After making two big deals in a row, Lin Haijiang's mood can be described as very good, whether it is in the British Far East Fleet, the Dutch Governor's Palace, or the Spanish colony, or even the Guangdong sailors of the Qing Dynasty, they can receive bonuses.

And this is also a real military achievement, but Lin Haijiang can't go to receive the reward, because no one is an idiot, first of all, the British know very well who Seid's gang is working for?

The high-ranking officials of the East India Company lost or reduced the company's goods from the books, and the money obtained from selling them through Seid became an open private income, so it was absolutely impossible to ask for the extermination of Seid's military exploits, not to mention sinking two plundering ships of the East India Company and slaughtering more than 200 British and Indian sailors.

Lin Haijiang knows what he is doing, risks and interests are always a pair of twin brothers, through two battles, he has tied everyone around him to his own success on a rope, a large group must have a long-term planning and strategic vision, but a small collective, but must have an internal core and common interests.

The common interest of Lin Haijiang's small collective is that they robbed the British and killed people.

After exterminating several groups of small pirates in a row, Lin Haijiang found a problem, that is, the pirates he exterminated were all foreigners? The rampant fishermen and the Mifune gang and other giant thieves seem to have disappeared without a trace?

Could it be that the news of his actions has been leaked? Immediately, Lin Haijiang dispelled this idea, the plan of action was his own temporary idea, the ship was transferred from the old port, and the specific combat intention was only slightly discussed with his father the night before departure.

Maybe I caught up with the 'annual leave' of the Chinese pirates? This time it should be regarded as knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, to remind these pirates who don't know the height of the sky, and let them know that their Dapeng City is not the soft persimmon of the Guangdong sailors.

After eight days at sea, Lin Haijiang had not opened for two days, and the foreign pirates who were active near the route fled without a trace after several blows, and Lin Haijiang, who had no gain, was very depressed, and he even began to fantasize about how good it would be to encounter two plundering ships of the British East India Company?

However, a good wish is a wish after all, except for the Zhenyuan ship to return to Guangzhou, the other three ships returned to the old port after unloading personnel and goods at Daya Bay Wharf at night, while Lin Haijiang casually found a dozen boxes loaded with 100,000 taels of silver, some seized antiques, and reported to the governor with bad guns and broken swords of pirates as the harvest of going to sea to suppress bandits.

For his top boss, Lin Haijiang also loaded 50,000 taels and sent someone to send it to the fifth aunt's house of Feng Guohui, the chief soldier of Nanao Town, overnight.

Feng Guohui, who received the money, wrote an excerpt to Lin Haijiang very kindly, in which he exaggerated his command from it, and the left-wing towns and right-wing towns who didn't know the news also followed a big flicker.

After Wang Dongxu brought back Feng Guohui's folds, Lin Haijiang almost didn't vomit when he looked at it, people can be shameless, but Lin Haijiang has never seen such a shameless master.

In Feng Guohui's excerpt to Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, the Qing Dynasty soldiers were as brave as heavenly soldiers, and the adjutants were prepared with various wise and powerful weapons, and they were like gods, and they were able to dispatch freely and command properly, which can be said to have killed countless enemies, and Lin Haijiang doubled the number of his own annihilations and killed them with courage, and reported more than 900 people.

As a result, Feng Guohui directly expanded three times, saying that there were more than 3,000 bandits, Lin Haijiang really didn't know how Ye Mingchen would feel when he saw this exaggerated battle report?

The next time, Lin Haijiang came to the governor's mansion early with a nervous mood, and the Qian Zong at the door was also a very familiar old acquaintance.

Mr. Wu Qian stammered very well, Lin Haijiang naturally couldn't let the people down, the silver ticket of one hundred taels quietly slipped into the hands of Mr. Wu Qian, and Mr. Wu Qian, who was smiling, almost regarded Lin Haijiang as a reborn parent.

In the lobby, Lin Haijiang saw Ye Mingchen with a happy face, Lin Haijiang breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Mingchen smiled and said to Lin Haijiang: "I have read your battle report and the excerpt of Feng Guohui, the chief soldier of Nanao Town, very good!" Very good! ”

Ye Mingchen suddenly changed his tone and said: "It is a fact that I am weak in the Qing Dynasty, the strong ships and sharp cannons of foreigners are not the enemy of big swords and spears, and it is very good to beat the seamen of foreigners and revitalize the glory of my Great Clear Water Division!" ”

Seeing this, Lin Haijiang immediately said modestly: "This is also due to the cultivation and support of the adults, and there are still some scruples about beating foreigners. ”

Ye Mingchen looked at Lin Haijiang with a satisfied and appreciative gaze of kung fu tea, and then nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you can distinguish priorities!" Pay a lot of attention, and I will take credit for the court. ”

"Thank you for your promotion!" Lin Haijiang, who was unwilling in his heart, was very helpless.

However, when Lin Haijiang saw the fold that Ye Mingchen deliberately sent to him to ask for a reward from the imperial court, he really sweated a little, and the number of bandits on the fold had soared to more than 10,000, and there were tens of thousands of miscellaneous seized items, but the 100,000 taels of silver shrank to 50,000 taels.

Lin Haijiang, who was very embarrassed, praised the wisdom of the adults after handing the fold back to Ye Mingchen's table, Ye Mingchen praised Lin Haijiang for being able to borrow a foreign ship to Jing Yangkou in one fell swoop, so Ye Mingchen finally made up his mind to give the current saint a secret fold, ask for money to buy a powerful foreign ship, and go up the Yangtze River to threaten the bandit capital Tianjing, and prevent the bandits from attacking Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps.

After the soldiers of the sixth battalion, Lin Haijiang selected the good seedlings of the second battalion from the refugees who fled to Guangzhou, and quietly placed the top 500 officers and soldiers in the assessment to study in the old port, and received double pay during the study.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the New Year's Day of 1854, that is, the fourth year of Xianfeng, arrived, but at the current time of chaos in the world, there seemed to be no New Year's atmosphere, and there were only pedestrians with incomparably numb expressions on the streets, and beggars who were poorly clothed and hungry.

After training for several months, and the non-stop going to sea to suppress bandits, Lin Haijiang was really tired, and a cadre Zhang Zheng, Gao Qi and others dragged him to be happy and happy.

Where to go to the land of fireworks? Lin Haijiang didn't feel much, the two pink and tender ones at home hadn't worked to take care of it, and the women outside who were in the skin and meat business naturally couldn't arouse his **.

However, he is also very curious about the Qinglou in this era, because Lin Haijiang has seen some photos of the so-called famous records of the former Qing Dynasty, which makes him feel like hitting the wall, and the meager allowance as a soldier in his previous life is not enough for him to see those legendary high-end places, especially Zhang Zheng's persuasion coincided with the selection of the Oiran in Guangzhou, which is really a once-in-a-decade encounter, and Lin Haijiang agreed with the purpose of opening his eyes.

Entering the scope of the so-called flower street, Lin Haijiang felt a trace of popularity, and the whole street drove several nearby streets to be full of people, hawkers, jugglers, performers, and all kinds of voices were noisy, making people feel that they couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

For doing business, Lin Haijiang didn't know anything about business in his previous life, let alone finance and economics, after all, he has a specialization, but because of the lack of talents, he has a serious lack of professional grassroots officers, which also makes Lin Haijiang very troubled, after all, the navy plays with technology, not a big blade.

Standing at the bottom of the blue and white building, Lin Haijiang looked at the women who were holding handkerchiefs and throwing them around the fence upstairs, looking at all kinds of people passing by, etc., what made Lin Haijiang very helpless was that he had not changed into civilian clothes, which was equivalent to wearing military uniforms into a nightclub in later generations? Something that is not condemned by the world?

But seeing Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi leading themselves in front, they will leave as soon as they take a horizontal step in their hearts, anyway, they are also officials of the Qing Dynasty, and the image of the Qing Dynasty is ruined, what are you afraid of? However, Lin Haijiang is more suspicious of whether the officials of the Qing Dynasty still have an image to be ruined?

In a private room on the second floor, Lin Haijiang looked a little cramped, and he didn't know how to look at his two subordinates in a daze, and Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi didn't dare to gnaw.

So the turtle man stretched his neck and waited for the adults to speak, whether it was the Cultural Bureau or the Meat Bureau, or the whole martial arts, he didn't dare to make ideas for the guests as usual, these people are all Qiu Eight Masters with guys, and it is a trivial matter if he accidentally rewards money, and he has nowhere to reason when he is beaten violently.

Lin Haijiang, who didn't understand the rules, also seemed to realize something, so he coughed and said, "You two are responsible for arranging, saying that Lin Haijiang took out four dragon head silver tickets of five hundred taels and put them on the table.

Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi looked at each other and smiled: "Please rest assured!" ”

Lin Haijiang hesitated for a moment and said to Gao Qi: "You take five hundred taels out and arrange for the brothers outside, drink a glass of wine to warm up, and each person will send ten taels to a lively New Year!" ”

"Humble duty understands!" Gauge turned to leave.

At this time, a euphemistic voice like a yellow bird sounded at the door: "Which adult is here?" We're going to prepare for the next Oiran Contest, and we can't see guests these days! ”
