Since the Jiajing period, the imperial court has set up governors, governors, deputy envoys and generals, generals, guerrillas and other personnel to defend themselves in coastal metropolis.

For example, Shandong has newly established Deng, Lai and Qing prefectures to set up deputy envoys to inspect the sea route, deputy generals who manage militias, and commanders of the coastal troops and horses who prepare for Japanese capitals.

After Guo Zhengyu established a new governor of Tianjin, the court censors believed that the power of controlling Liaohai Road, Tianjin and Dengzhou was too great and should be dedicated to the sea.

After the censors submitted a memorial, the governor of Tianjin was in charge of preparations for Japanese at sea, and the governor of Baoding was still subject to the jurisdiction of the governor of Baoding, except for Tianjin.

But no matter what, Tianjin was originally just a guard, but after Lin Yanchao submitted a request to the court to establish a governor of Tianjin, Tianjin was upgraded to a unit of the same level as the provincial government.

However, in this way, Lin Yanchao's power changed again. As a strategy, Lin Yanchao's power was comparable to that of the Governor General of Ji Liao.

The governor of Ji Liao controlled Shuntian, Baoding, Liaodong, and the four towns of Jizhou, Changping, Liaodong and Baoding.

In addition to the part of the Governor of Ji Liao, Lin Yanchao also includes the Governor of Shandong and the newly established Governor of Tianjin.

Of course, this is a special task. Once the Korean Japanese pirates retreat, Lin Yanchao's power of restraint will be taken back. In addition, Lin Yanchao could not control his troops and horses. They must be ordered by the Governor of Ji Liao, the governors of Tianjin and Shandong to mobilize troops.

As for Chu Dajiang, he was the deputy general of Shandong's militia management.

When Lin Yanchao was on his canal boat to Beijing, he was a young general in the Zhaoyang General Office. Later, he and Qiu Mingshan kept handling the canal transportation for Lin Yanchao, and he was promoted to Qianzong.

Later, Lin Yanchao went to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Rites, and Chu Dajiang was promoted from the Qianzong to the guerrilla general and was promoted to the guerrilla general.

After passing by Shixing in Song Yingchang, Lin Yanchao recommended him as the governor of Ji Liao, Song Yingchang also returned to Lin Yanchao to promote Chu Dajiang from a senator to deputy general.

Although he is managing Shandong militia and has no real power, he is still a deputy general. To put it in an inappropriate example, the deputy general is equivalent to a brigade-level general.

Chu Dajiang has been promoted so quickly in recent years, and the officials cannot help but guess his background. Although some people speculate that his backer is Lin Yanchao, there is no evidence.

Now dozens of civil and military officials are sitting in the reception hall. Chu Dajiang has been talking to the commander of the Beiwu Commander. Just now, several civil officials have been chatting with others after seeing that Lin Yanchao did not summon Chu Dajiang.

Chu Dajiang saw this in his eyes, but he would not say much. However, seeing Lin Yanchao's appearance as a magistrate in the border today made him feel like a dream. A lieutenant who went to Beijing to take the exam today had reached such a status. The highest officials in the hall were the political parties of the vassal court, the deputy envoy of the magistrate, the commander of the chief commander, and the lowest was the magistrate, the Qiang General, and so many civil and military officials were waiting for his summons and reception in the reception hall, and they might not be able to see it.

Lin Yanchao summoned several officials, none of which were named Chu Dajiang. After waiting for half an hour, the officials estimated that the time was almost over. At this time, a Wenguan of the Fuyuan Court walked to the reception hall.

Policeman Wen looked around and inspected the officials. All the officials knew that Policeman Wen was close to the governor, and his face was full of smiles, but he guessed in his heart that he didn't know which official Lin Yanchao summoned the last.

But when the policeman Wen's eyes fell on Chu Dajiang, he walked to him and leaned over and said respectfully: "Please Lord Chu!"

Chu Dajiang was slightly stunned and said, "Oh, Brother Qi, is he summoning the last general?"

When the policeman heard this, he immediately said, "Hey, Lord Chu, don't mention the three words Brother Qi in the future. This will ruin me. If Lord Chu can read it, just call the word "其其其."

Chu Dajiang said: "How dare you take it like this?"

Police Officer Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Chu is about to develop. Do you know that Master Jinglei has just read your name in his handbook and said to the governor, this is my old friend! Master Chu can be friends with Master Jinglei. What a blessing! I will rely on you in the future. Go in quickly, don't let Master Jinglei wait for a long time!"

"this……"

Seeing Chu Dajiang hesitating, the officials on both sides stood up from the chairs and said, "Mr. Chu! Brother Chu! Why are you waiting for? This is a great opportunity!"

Chu Dajiang then stood up and said, "Then I'll take the lead!"

Everyone said, "Go quickly, may you have been waiting for a long time by Master Zhuang!"

After Chu Dajiang left, all the officials stretched their necks and watched them, with envy in their eyes.

At this time, Chu Dajiang walked into the lobby, but saw Lin Yanchao sitting on the upper head, and Shandong Governor Sun Miao was sitting at the lower side.

As soon as he came to the hall, he bowed to the temple, but saw Lin Yanchao walking down the hall a few steps and said, "It's really Brother Chu, I almost dare not recognize each other. You and I haven't seen each other for so many years, so don't restrain these common rituals!"

Chu Dajiang hurriedly said, "I just witnessed the majesty of Master Jinglei. The general dared not recognize him rashly. Please forgive me!"

Lin Yanchao laughed and said, "What's the crime?"

Then Lin Yanchao said to Sun Mine: "This brother Chu is Lin's old friend. When I went to Beijing to take the exam, I took his canal boat. It was a tragedy!"

Sun Kuang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Chu and Lord Jinglei have such an opportunity! I'm reunited in Shandong now, and it's really a good story in the officialdom."

The three of them laughed, and Sun Mine said: "There are still some things to be done in the Fuyuan Court. The subordinates will not disturb the reminiscing of the past. Let's take the lead!"

After Sun Mine walked out of the lobby, Police Officer Wen came up. Sun Mine said: "Chu Dajiang is really an old friend of the affairs. Please take a look back and prepare some water gifts for me to deliver to his mansion."

Police Officer Wen immediately claimed that he was. He understood that since Lin Yanchao had an old relationship with Chu Dajiang, if the other party handed over to Lin Yanchao something like the imperial envoy, it would be unfavorable to Sun Mine, and it would even be passed to the entire court in one or two days. Therefore, Sun Mine must also be better than Chu Dajiang.

Water Li is an ordinary gift like wine and food. Even if Sun Mine is a clean official, then the officials below may not be like this.

After Sun Mine left, Lin Yanchao and Chu Dajiang re-recorded the old story.

"Now, the matters in the Hecao are now managed by Mr. Qiu and Zhong Luozi. Things are on track. After the last time the Cao Cao and the rectification of Fu Caotai, the brothers below have been much better. Zhong Luozi has always been grateful to Master Jingluo. As for Mr. Qiu's health recently, most of the matters are the ones who are in charge of the Cao army. Originally, Shandong Xiangma Li Erhui was already the chief of the Cao army, and now he is taking care of the subordinates."

Lin Yanchao nodded.

The matter of Hecao was already very corrupt. Most of the Yun army like Chu Dajiang had fled, so the Yun army had to take out some of the benefits and let the lower-class people like Zhong Luozi be sailors and boatmen, so that they could deal with the exploitation of corrupt officials along the river by themselves.

The court also turned a blind eye to this.

Now there is Chu Dajiang in the Yunjun, and Zhongluozi is also underneath, which makes his control over the river and canal stronger than his control over the sea canal.

Of course, Lin Yanchao's recognition of his relationship with Chu Dajiang today also laid a foreshadowing for the future legitimate intervention in Hecao.

"Let the Hecao beside it beforehand, let's put official duties first. As the deputy general of the coastal defense, are you talking about Shandong coastal defense first?"

When Chu Dajiang heard this, he admired Lin Yanchao even more: "The garrison troops along the coast are already unbearable for battle. Only the battalions can fight against the enemy. Even the civilian army of the last generals is stronger than the garrison troops. Once the Japanese pirates really come across the sea, it may be difficult to resist!"

Lin Yanchao sighed secretly, Tianjin is already like this, Shandong's situation is even worse!

"This year, Shandong is in trouble again. People fled everywhere, and almost all the garrison troops were starving to death. Several places fled less than one-third of the original soldiers. Even if the remaining people have the strength to go into battle to kill the enemy, even though the camp soldiers can afford food and clothing, they still have to pay for two or three years. They had to buy food and save money in Shandong before. This is not a joke. I am afraid that the civilians will first cause a change. Sir, can the court really not allocate any money?"

Lin Yanchao was silent for a while after hearing this, "The court even the nine border troops on the border are owing wages. There was a Ningxia rebellion before. As for our Shandong... we may not be able to take care of it for a while. But you don't have to worry about it. Yesterday, Sun Zhongcheng informed me that I have submitted a memorial to the court to reduce the taxes this year to Shandong."

Chu Dajiang heard this and said, "Then I will really be grateful to Master Jinglei for the elders and villagers in Shandong."

Lin Yanchao said: "It's just a matter of raising hands. The most urgent thing is to stockpile sweet potatoes in Shandong to prepare for wasteland so that the people can support themselves! In addition, starting this year, we will also prepare for the future... Do you know where to supply tamsui when Japanese pirates invaded Shandong in the past? What Japanese are good? And which ones are produced locally in Shandong?"

Chu Dajiang thought carefully: "As far as the officials knew, most of the Japanese pirates came from the west to replenish supplies on Yangshan Island."

At that time, freshwater was not easy to preserve. Although some people knew that freshwater could be stored longer after boiling, it would not exceed half a month at most, so they had to find a freshwater supply point.

In the early Ming Dynasty, most of the Japanese pirates were Japanese pirates on the three islands, and later expanded to Jiuzhou, etc. The supply point they chose in the Ming Dynasty was the Dayang Island and Xiaoyang Island, which are today's rugged islands.

"As for the good of the Japanese, the most known Japanese pirates in the past were mostly robbed food and grass. In addition, the good of the Japanese were silk, silk cotton, cloth, cotton, brocade, red thread, mercury, medicinal materials, needles, iron training, iron pot, magnetic instrument, ancient texts, ancient paintings, ancient names, ancient books, medicinal materials, felt blankets, horseback felt, powder, snack baskets, lacquerware, vinegar, etc. In addition, people were captured from time to time."

Lin Yanchao asked in detail, verified Chu Dajiang's words with Sun Yan who had talked to before, and other Shandong officials, and then came to a more objective conclusion.

Just as Chu Dajiang suddenly said, "Yes, I almost forgot something! Master Guan Lei's brother has made merit this time!"

Lin Yanchao was drinking tea. After hearing Chu Dajiang's words, he was caught off guard, and a little tea was sprinkled beside his clothes.

Before, Lin Yanshou said he wanted to make military achievements, so Lin Yanchao sent him to Shandong for Chu Dajiang to take care of him. In order to avoid suspicion, Chu Dajiang secretly asked others to take care of him. Originally, Lin Yanchao asked him to stay in the rear and live quietly and not to cause trouble, but Chu Dajiang actually said that Lin Yanshou had made contributions. Isn’t this ridiculous?
