Lin Xu came to Hangzhou this time just to treat the sick soldiers, and then take advantage of the situation to return to Jiangling, eliminate bandits, stabilize the rear, and then better develop the industry and become a free and easy wealthy man.
As for the suppression of Japanese pirates, he had never thought about this.
As a science and engineering man, he believes in one sentence very much, that is, professional people do professional things.
To eliminate the Japanese pirates, Liu Mingju and his soldiers came to do it, and it was not his turn to intervene.
However, after these two in-depth chats with Liu Mingju, he was completely moved by Liu Mingju's sincere patriotism and love for the people!
Although he is indifferent by nature and is even a little lazy, unwilling to be troublesome, he also has a hot patriotic heart like Liu Mingju!
Regardless of whether his suggestions are effective or not, he wants to say something.
"Governor General, I do have a way to fight against the Japanese!"
After making up his mind, Lin Xu said in a deep voice: "However, before talking about my method, I need to learn about the situation of the Japanese pirates from the Governor."
"Okay, sir, have anything to ask, just speak!"
Liu Mingju couldn't help but lit up his eyes!
In fact, he did not have much hope for Lin Xu at first. Although Lin Xu said "there is a wonderful way to fight against the Japanese" last night, he just regarded it as a joke after drinking and did not take it too seriously.
However, at this moment, hearing Lin Xu's voice solemnly and his eyes so firm, he couldn't help but feel a hint of hope!
Perhaps, Lin Xu really has a wonderful way to fight against the Japanese?
Just like Lin Xu was able to diagnose the malignant disease that the soldiers suffered before was a scurvy that they had never heard of before, and the treatment method was even more amazing. He didn't even need medicine, but just let the soldiers eat fruits and vegetables!
Could it be that this person is really a genius who is rare?
"On the way to Hangzhou, I heard Yang Peng talk about the Japanese pirates, and I had some understanding. I heard from him that there was a man named Dong Kaishan. This man was a pirate leader, very strong, and even many people.
All Japanese pirates have to be controlled by him! Is that true?"
"That's right!"
Liu Mingju nodded: "This person specializes in maritime smuggling, and purchases banned goods such as nitroz, silk cotton, porcelain, tea, etc. in China, and sells them to countries such as the East, South and the West, making a fortune!"
"In the past, Dong Kaishan was just doing smuggling business at sea, but not only would he be chased by the government, but he could be robbed by other pirates and Japanese pirates at any time!"
"In order to protect himself, Dong Kaishan formed his own armed forces. As his business grew bigger and bigger, his armed forces became stronger and stronger. He successively swallowed up several more powerful pirates, and now he has become the most powerful
The strong pirate leader, even those Japanese pirates are afraid of him!"
"The reason is actually very simple. Nowadays, Japan is in a war period, and all the princes have raised troops to compete for territory and fought each other for nearly a hundred years! Some samurai and peasants who have lost their land, and some deserters, cannot survive in the country.
Then he became a Japanese pirate and went to our southeast coast to rob him!"
"In recent years, due to our army's strict defense, it is difficult for Japanese pirates to get ashore and they cannot grab supplies. However, they themselves do not produce supplies, so they can only buy from those who do smuggling business. Dong Kaishan's business is the biggest,
There are several necessary daily necessities that have even become monopoly, so they are naturally the main targets of these Japanese pirates to purchase materials."
"In addition, Dong Kaishan's armed forces are also very strong. There are hundreds of ships of all sizes alone, including several dragon ships with the largest tonnage, the best armed and the strongest combat power! The weapons are even more powerful than Japanese pirates!
To be advanced, he even recruited many Japanese pirates to serve him."
"The Japanese pirates are not united within them, but are divided into many large and small forces, so the Japanese pirates dare not force him!"
"Once any Japanese pirates dare to steal Dong Kaishan's goods, not only will Dong Kaishan meet to crack down on him, but other Japanese pirates and pirates will also take the initiative to attack him in order to please Dong Kaishan, so that he has no place to gain a foothold on the sea!"
"I can't beat you, but I can't leave you, so I will naturally be controlled by him."
"In recent years, Dong Kaishan's influence on the sea has become stronger and stronger. The pirates and Japanese pirates have also given Dong Kaishan a resounding title, called 'Old Ship Owner'!" This chapter has been completed!
