Three hundred and twentieth chapters to rectify the Navy
"Please, please, this boat is called the whistle boat, this one is called the Haicang boat, that is Cangshan boat, both are pointed sea boats, suitable for offshore combat..."
Along the way, Feng Yukun told Zhang Linqi and Xiong Can that he knew everything. [】Not mentioning, there is still a place in the entire Fuzhou Navy. Those boats can still be used. Of course, after Zhang Linqi asked, he knew that those were all under Feng Yukun's jurisdiction.
But other places are not bad, the entire natural village. Along the way, Xiong Can just accompany the guests, not talking about it. Zhang Linqi had to ask carefully and carefully. But he only asked Feng Yukun alone, but he ignored Ma Yuliang who was following him, as if this person did not exist. As for the other generals who had just arrived, he ignored them.
Ma Yuliang was so angry about this. He thought to himself that I was the decent Fuzhou naval master, but why is the situation reversed now? But he only dared to think about it in his heart. He asked him to challenge Zhang Linqi, and even dared not to borrow any courage.
Half an hour later, Zhang Linqi took all the entire Fuzhou Navy, but there was nothing good. Except for Feng Yukun's soldiers and ships, the rest of Zhang Linqi was just a quick look. Of course, Zhang Linqi also knew that this could not be blamed on those small soldiers. The problem lies with Ma Yuliang. Through this on-site visit, Zhang Linqi had figured out the foundation of the Fuzhou Navy.
In general, Zhang Linqi was still relieved. He was not considered bad, so he left him a material that could be made of!
"Ma Yuliang, how did you feel about being happy just now?" After the inspection was over, Zhang Linqi asked Ma Yuliang coldly.
"Ah, that's OK!" Zhang Linqi was really hurt. She didn't ask the person's main during the inspection just now. Ma Yuliang was prepared and said nothing was useless. Seeing that Zhang Linqi had finished the inspection and was about to leave, Ma Yuliang breathed out, but Zhang Linqi had a sudden attack. Ma Yuliang was caught off guard and asked the truth by Zhang Linqi.
When the words came out, Ma Yuliang wanted to slap himself two big ears. Isn’t this an old birthday star hanging himself and living impatiently? This imperial envoy originally disliked himself, but now he is answering like this. Isn’t he seeking death?
But I said it, but it was too late to change it.
"Yes, the salaries of the soldiers have become the money of the brothel. No matter how happy you are, it is unreasonable." Zhang Linqi smiled coldly with Ma Yuliang and said, "Since that's the case, I will remove all your official positions today. You can continue to be happy."
"Ah" When Ma Yuliang heard this, he felt like he was hit by a blow. He knew that there was no good fruit today, but the strength was so strong that he never expected it. He wanted to ask Xiong Can for help, but the two had no friendship.
It's over, everything is over. Alas, things have come to this point, and I've already made a lot of money anyway, so be a rich man with a fair wife. Ma Yuliangxin comforted himself like this. But after he returned home, he found that his family had been seized.
A large number of Western Factory Animals are counting their property at his house!
"Why do you do this?" Ma Yuliang roared.
"Why?" The leader of a fan sneered at him: "Just because a lot of property was collected from your house, it was not consistent with your salary. This is called the crime of unknown origin of huge amounts of property. Do you understand!" To be honest, Ma Yuliang really doesn't understand.
Although there are many items in the Ming Dynasty, is there this one? But Ma Yuliang only sighed at the end. Because he knew that he was really told by these Western Factory players, it was really a crime of unknown origin. These property were all from his embezzlement of military pay. (Otherwise, those big-headed soldiers would not be embarrassed to raise chickens and ducks in the military camp.)
If he wants to make it clear, he really can't explain it clearly!
After Zhang Linqi handled Ma Yuliang's affairs, he removed all the other incompetent generals.
The methods are reckless. Anyway, he had just learned about it, and Feng Yukun also has many competent small leaders! Let's promote them. As for Feng Yukun himself, he became a freshly released general of the Fuzhou Navy.
After the handling, Zhang Linqi was about to start to rectify the navy. Zhang Linqi ordered all the navy soldiers to gather together. After waiting for an hour, he finally got together about a thousand people.
Zhang Linqi did not talk to them or name them according to the roster. (The roster was just Ma Yuliang falsely reported the number of people and used to embezzle military pay,) and only said three sentences:
"Ma Yuliang and many other generals have stepped down."
"Your good days are coming."
"Do you have the luck to live a good life?"
Many navy officers and soldiers still don’t understand? What does it mean to have this luck? But they soon understood it, and it turned out that they started to screen.
Don’t want those who are overstandard, don’t want those who are too young. Don’t want those who are careless about navigation knowledge, don’t want those who fail to pass the basic subject assessment of navigation. Don’t want to go down in this way, and only 500 soldiers left behind, and most of them are Feng Yukun’s subordinates. Otherwise, there would be fewer people.
After the screening, Zhang Linqi began to take real action. That was to pay money. Although the eliminated naval officers and soldiers were not qualified, they still had to pay the money they had owed them in the past.
Zhang Linqi also came prepared this time and brought 100,000 taels of silver to Fujian! Of course, at the beginning, I needed to invest, and when I got on the right track in the future, I would just wait to collect the money.
After the calculations of the quarantine officers, the dismissed officers and soldiers each received a total of ten to fifteen taels of silver. With this money, they were enough to make a living by themselves. Seeing that they had really obtained the money, many officers and soldiers left silently. They originally thought that the new imperial envoy was just a red mouth and white teeth and wanted to drive them away, so of course they would not do it.
But now I have received the owed salary. If they don’t leave, it makes no sense! Of course, there are many people who have not left yet. They want to say that those who stay have good luck?
"I announce that each of the remaining brothers will pay 5 taels of silver every month. This is just the basics. In the future, you navy will be very busy and will go out to sea frequently. Every time you go out, each person will subsidize one tael of silver. No owed it! Now I will pay the first month's salary."
After Zhang Linqi finished speaking, the quarantine officer immediately opened a row of large boxes he brought with him, revealing white silver.
"Li Shengli"
"Wang Xiaoshan"
As an individual is called a name, he goes forward to collect the money in turn.
"What" in this scene, the officers and soldiers who had not left all opened their mouths in surprise. This is so unreasonable. A monthly salary of five taels of silver, and each time they go to sea, there is a subsidy of one tael of silver. They have been owed for several years and have only received more than ten taels of silver!
"We're going back"
"We want to rejoin the navy"
Compared with the calmness when he was cleared out just now, many dismissed officers and soldiers were crazy and wanted to stand back, but this was impossible. There was only one chance for people to miss it and they would never come again. Those towns that maintained order were not vegetarians. The navy officers and soldiers who had already received the salary were so happy that they could not find the north.
This is really good, no better luck! It’s worth my death in the sea for such a high salary!
However, the freshly released naval genital general Feng Yukun rubbed his hands and said, "Sir, this salary is too high."
The salary is really too high. Feng Yukun felt embarrassed. He used to be worried that he could not get the salary, but now he is worried that the salary is too high.
"It's okay, just hold it. If you want the horse to run fast, you have to eat the horse's running grass. Brothers, is this the reason?" Zhang Linqi shouted loudly at the remaining naval officers and soldiers.
"The imperial envoy is wise" shouted hundreds of mouths at the same time.
"Well, it's very good." Zhang Linqi nodded with satisfaction in this scene. This is exactly the effect he needs. Is the salary high? It's a lot, but after the huge profits of shipping come out, it's not high at all. As the saying goes, high salary to support the cheap.
Zhang Linqi had already planned that these naval officers and soldiers were going to give them high-tech. First, it would be more difficult in the future, and they would go from the wind to the rain. Second, they were all responsible for armed escorts. They were also going to sea, and the merchants they were responsible for escorts made a lot of money. But if they were just holding pitiful wages, would you feel balanced if they were you?
So, Zhang Linqi is planning ahead. He gave such a high salary. If any navy officer and soldier commit crimes in the future, he would be confident since the handling. Otherwise, how could he convince the public?
When Zhang Linqi finally left, only a group of people who were happy and a group of people who were regretful were left. After Zhang Linqi left, he went to Fuzhou Shipyard to inspect.
In the future, the sea ban will be lifted, how can I do without a ship? Fuzhou Shipyard is also a person who eats imperial grain, but the results of the inspection are not satisfactory. However, all this suddenly changed after Zhang Linqi arrived. As the saying goes, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing that cannot be done. After Zhang Linqi made drastic layoffs and invested money,
The shipyard's appearance was immediately renewed, and the shipyard leader held the silver note that Zhang Linqi had just given him, and patted it and said that he would build the needed ship within the specified time. If it could not be built, he would step on his head and go out to sea!
After all this, after Zhang Linqi returned to the Governor's Mansion, he asked Xiong Can to post a notice in the name of the Governor's Mansion to recruit naval officers and soldiers, and the treatment was preferential. It stated that the treatment of five taels of silver per month. Because Zhang Linqi knew that he would work hard in the future, it would definitely not be enough for the current navy to have such a few people.
After all, according to Zhang Linqi's vision, Fuzhou will be built into the largest and most prosperous port in the East, and even the largest in the world. At that time, thousands of merchants gather, which is equivalent to the World Expo. How can you do if there are fewer people? Moreover, Zhang Linqi also knew that banning the sea in the past did not mean that no one went to sea. The situation was just the opposite. There were many people going to sea, and the profits were amazing after all!
I remember a great man said that if there is more than 30% profit, someone will take risks, let alone a few percent profits like now. In the future, Zhang Linqi established the Maritime Bureau and only allowed one to go to sea, so a large number of naval officers and soldiers would have to be arranged to patrol the sea, and even the two sides would encounter the battle afterwards. Therefore, this requires people.
After the announcement was posted, it caused a stir in Fuzhou. It was just because the content was too horrible. However, because it was a notice posted by the Governor's Office, no one questioned the authenticity of the content. So after the announcement was posted, someone began to sign up continuously.
And these are not what Zhang Linqi needs to worry about. What Zhang Linqi cares about now is the maiden voyage of Maritime Corporation.
