363 Went to Xiamen in person

Lin Fei laughed and said: "You can rest assured about this, I naturally have my plan, let me ask you, who is the Qing court feudal official in Fujian and Zhejiang now?" โ€

Chen Fu replied: "This person's name is 'Bian Baoquan', and he is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Qing court, and the whole area of Fujian and Zhejiang is under his jurisdiction. โ€

Lin Fei smiled and said, "Very good, let's go to this governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, if I want to go to Fujian to visit Wรจn, what process do I need to take?" โ€

Chen Fu replied: "First of all, we must go to the Yamen of the Minister of Nanyang Trade in Nanjing and submit a credential, and then the Qing court will report it to Beijing......

Lin Fei waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have to go to Nanjing again, and I have to go to Beijing again, it's too time-consuming, do people from Western powers want to go to Fujian to use such trouble?" โ€

Chen Fu shook his head and said: "If the Western powers want to go to Fujian, they will go directly, if they are businessmen, they will not go through the official face, if they want to have government affairs talks, then the local officials will come to talk to them, and report the news to the Qing court while talking." โ€

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Okay, you first set off to Xiamen in Fujian, which is the closest to our island of Taiwan, and after you go, you will find the magistrate of Xiamen and say that I will personally go to Xiamen to negotiate with the Qing court and discuss trade between the Chinese Empire and the Qing Empire, I think the Qing court will definitely instruct Bian Baoquan to come forward to negotiate with me." โ€

Chen Fu was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know that the Qing court will definitely let Bian Baoquan come forward?" โ€

Lin Fei said with a smile: "You can see the diplomatic history of the Qing court, and the affairs of negotiating with foreigners are usually handled by the local feudal officials. โ€

Chen Fu nodded yes, but said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, you mentioned Bian Baoquan several times, why do you attach so much importance to this Bian Baoquan?" โ€

Lin Fei said with a smile: "This Bian Baoquan is a feudal official, he issued an order in Fujian and Zhejiang, which is more effective than Emperor Guangxu in Beijing, with his help, are you still worried about finding the strongest craftsman?" โ€

Chen Fu agreed to come down and go back to prepare, Lin Fei asked staff officer Li Tianqian to come in and asked, "Do you remember the Zheng Yuming we arrested together?" โ€

Li Tianqian thought for a while and said, "Is that the guy who sold national treasures to Westerners?" How not to remember? โ€

Lin Fei asked, "How is he doing now?" โ€

Li Tianqian replied: "The court sentenced him to life imprisonment, and he is now serving his sentence in the No. 1 Prison of Dayu City, and what he does every day is to go to various construction sites to work." "In Lin Fei's era, letting prison inmates go to work on the construction site would be sprayed to death by various human rights organizations, but in this era, there are no human rights organizations, even if there is Lin Fei, he is not afraid, the labor force of the Chinese Empire is not rich, and it is impossible to feed these prisoners in vain.

Lin Fei nodded and said, "How is he doing in prison?" โ€

Li Tianqian hesitated for a moment, and said apologetically: "Report to Your Majesty, I don't know about this, if you want to know, I can ask for you immediately." โ€

Lin Fei shook his head and smiled: "No need, you go and find him." โ€

Li Tianqian agreed, and brought Zheng Yuming to Lin Fei in a short time, Lin Fei was taken aback when he saw Zheng Yuming, this Zheng Yuming was originally fat, and now that he is in prison, not only is there less fat, but more, Lin Fei asked with a smile: "Zheng Yuming, don't you work every day?" Why did you get fat instead? โ€

Zheng Yuming smiled and said: "Report to Your Majesty, I used to be pampered and didn't eat much, but now I work every day and eat more, so I get fat, and My Majesty smiled." โ€

Lin Fei couldn't laugh and cry, and said, "I called you here this time to ask you to prepare a few precious treasures for me, and I want to give them away." โ€

Zheng Yuming smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you can't look for me, you should go to the museum director, those treasures of mine have been collected by you into the museum." Lin Fei has established several museums in Dayu City to collect and exhibit national treasures, on the one hand, to preserve traditional culture, and on the other hand, to establish national pride.

Lin Fei said with a smile: "I just asked you to go to the museum to prepare treasures for me, jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, gemstones, etc., all antique categories, pick one for me in each category, understand?" โ€

Zheng Yuming nodded again and again, Lin Fei asked Li Tianqian to take Zheng Yuming down, and it only took half a day for Zheng Yuming to pick out twelve treasures, covering all categories of antique collections, Lin Fei looked at those treasures and smiled secretly in his heart, the officials of the Qing court are all corrupt people, these treasures of mine will definitely be able to impress that Bian Baoquan.

Lin Fei prepared the treasures, and took these treasures to Tainan, Tainan is the central city in southern Taiwan, the geographical position is superior, when the Dutch occupied Taiwan, they once built the city of Gelanza here, when Zheng Chenggong occupied Taiwan, Tainan was his capital, after Lin Fei liberated Taiwan, because Taiwan is relatively close to the Philippines, so Lin Fei set the capital of Taiwan Province in Tainan.

Lin Fei came to Tainan, stayed at the port, and met Liu Yongfu, an old friend, although Liu Yongfu is now the governor of Taiwan Province, but he does not have any heavy work handed over to him, so he lives quite easily every day.

On April 26, Chen Fu returned to Tainan and brought back news from the Qing court, which instructed Bian Baoquan, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to meet Lin Fei in Xiamen, and Lin Fei immediately took people to Xiamen.

Lin Fei took the Tianlong ship, the Yunlong ship escorted on the side, Lin Fei's battleship entered Kinmen Island first, Kinmen Island was very famous in Lin Fei's era, the war that happened here is well known, it is only eighteen nautical miles away from Xiamen, when the weather is fine, you can directly see Xiamen when you stand on the island.

In this era, Kinmen Island is relatively desolate, although there are fishermen of the Qing Dynasty, but there are not many officials, Lin Fei's subordinates built the "Huaxia Labor Company" office here, called the office, in fact, it is a military camp, as long as Lin Fei gives an order, the entire Kinmen Island can be stationed in tens of thousands of elite troops.

The reason why Lin Fei made great efforts to manage Kinmen Island was to make Kinmen Island the last springboard for attacking the Qing court, and the Chinese Empire was the closest to Fujian, and if he wanted to attack the Qing court, he would inevitably enter from Kinmen Island and Fujian.

Lin Fei's warship stopped at Kinmen Island for a short time, and then set off for Xiamen, where at 8 a.m. on 27 April, two Chinese warships sailed into the port of Xiamen...... Xingquan Coopers Daotai Mu Mingzhong personally greeted.

Lin Fei took his staff officer Li Tianqian with him this time, because Li Tianqian had been active in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong for a long time, and he had a better understanding of the local officials and businessmen, Lin Fei asked Li Tianqian in a low voice: "What kind of official is this Xingquan Coopers Daotai?" โ€

Li Tianqian replied: "Your Majesty, 'Xingquan Yong' stands for 'Xinghua Mansion', 'Quanzhou Mansion' and 'Yongchun Prefecture', these three places are the relatively wealthy state capitals of Fujian, and the 'Xingquan Yongdao' Daotai is the official in charge of these three places. โ€

Lin Fei said "um" in agreement, then walked up to Mu Mingzhong, exchanged a few polite words with him, and went to Daotai Yamen to meet Bian Baoquan, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, under his leadership.

The travel of the Qing court officials was full of pomp, the whole team was discharged for nearly a kilometer, there were soldiers on the left and right sides of the team riding high-headed horses to escort them, and there were people in the front holding "quiet cards" and "avoidance cards", and there were soldiers holding horse whips in their hands to drive the people, Lin Fei was heartbroken to see it, how much money did such a pomp and circumstance waste?

The team soon entered the city, the road has already been paved with fine loess, fine loess is a must for the travel of high-ranking officials of the Qing court, there is no cement road in the Qing country in this era, the road is all dust, only the fine loess can be padded when traveling to ensure that the clothes are not dirty, otherwise walking around the street will become a "mud monkey", where is the official authority?

Both sides of the road are full of people with long pigtails, they are all respectful, like a flock of lambs to the slaughter, although the honor guard of the high-ranking officials of the Qing court is far away from them, but they still dare not even move, the atmosphere does not dare to come out, even so, there are still soldiers from time to time to raise the whip, in the air above the crowd to make a "pop" sound, frightened the people under the whip with the sound of the whip trembling all over the body.

Lin Fei sat in the sedan chair and saw this scene, the thought of "mourning its misfortune and being angry with it" came out, he sighed heavily, closed the sedan curtain, and secretly calculated in his heart that if he wanted to defeat the Qing court, he had to start by changing the people.

Lin Fei was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the soldiers outside the sedan chair shouting: "There are assassins, there are assassins... Protect the adults, protect the adults..."Then there was a burst of messy footsteps, Lin Fei's sedan chair driver put down the sedan chair, Lin Fei took out the revolver on his waist, opened the sedan curtain, and asked Zhang Chuang beside him: "What happened?" โ€

Zhang Chuang replied: "Just now, a person rushed out of the crowd and stormed Mu Mingzhong's palanquin, and the Qing soldiers took him as an assassin and arrested him. โ€

Lin Fei's heart moved, this assassin seemed to be an anti-Qing righteous man, but Mu Mingzhong was heavily guarded by his side, and he rushed forward towards the sedan chair, this move was too stupid.

Lin Fei walked out of the sedan chair, frightened the Qing court attendants' faces turned white, stopped Lin Fei and said, "Mr. Lin Fei, you can't go out, it's dangerous..."

Lin Fei smiled bitterly and said, "If there is really an assassin, it is more dangerous for me to stay in the sedan chair." โ€

At this time, I heard a heart-rending scream from the front of the team, mixed with a terrible cry: "My lord, I am not an assassin...... Yes...... My lord, I have something important to do...... Tell me. โ€

Lin Fei instantly remembered the scene he saw on TV, the wronged person stopped the sedan chair and cried to the official, this kind of thing is not made up, Lin Fei frowned, could it be that this assassin has grievances? Lin Fei waved his hand at his subordinates and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." โ€

Zhang Chuang whispered: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with us, so let's leave it alone, right?" โ€

Lin Fei frowned and said, "The affairs of our compatriots are our own affairs, how can we ignore them?" Let's go, go and see..."
