The magistrate of Haicheng County was from Jiangxi. He was a Jinshi in the 20th year of Wanli. His surname was Su and his courtesy name was Xizhi.
He accepted tribute from merchants, clerks, and yamen runners every year, and the money he earned was enough for him to spend the rest of his life very richly. He had a clear view of the current situation and believed that in this world where party struggles fiercely and eunuchs are in power Next, he has no reliable backstage and his career has no hope. He is ready to return to his hometown to live a rich family life after his term of office is over.
Now a hot person is under his rule, and it may cause civil unrest; this may be the place where Haicheng has always been fierce, and it is on the beach. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the people have never been so obedient. , and once there is a civil unrest, his hope of living a stable life for the rest of his life will be shattered, and he may become a scapegoat for bureaucrats at all levels in Fujian governments, and he will live in the Tianzhuo in Beijing in the future.
Thinking about these possibilities, Magistrate Su was at a loss and was at a loss. He walked back and forth in the back hall of the county government, making Master Zhang dizzy on the side. Master Zhang is from Quanzhou, Fujian, and he really can't stand it anymore. Speaking of: "Master, you must go there in person,"
Magistrate Su was stunned and stopped and asked, "Mr. Zhang, where do you think I have to go?"
"Luo Xuri's family, the big owner of Huaxing Lianhao lives in that rich businessman,"
County Magistrate Su was not a sour charlatan who couldn't put down his airs. He hesitated and shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to go, but is it useless to go? If they turn against me, things will be out of control."
The master smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if they wanted to turn against each other, they could have killed all the officers and soldiers last night, and even your county government can't be protected. The big boss Yin Feng sent the officers and soldiers to you, but he did not do so. Hurt, this just happens to show that they don’t want to turn against the government.”
County Magistrate Su thought for a while and said, "This is reasonable. They really want to kill the officials and rebel. They can cut us all over the place last night; but how can we send away these plague gods?"
Master said, "Yin Feng is a person who knows the current affairs. This incident is related to his wealth and life. He did not enter Quanzhou City and came to Haicheng, so he must have wanted to wait for his ship to pick him up and then go back to Dongfan. Oh, Taiwan,"
"You mean, he stayed temporarily under the county seat and was waiting for a boat. So why didn't he hire a boat to go?"
The master smiled: "Will he still trust other people's boats if something happens like this?"
County Magistrate Su suddenly realized: "By the way, that's the case, OK, let's prepare, I'll go see this person,"
County Magistrate Su came to visit. Yin Feng used the role of supervisory students as a student gift and welcomed him with a great gift. The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and Yin Feng agreed; only two ships of the China Company were allowed to enter Yuegang Wharf to pick up people, and no weapons were allowed. Hai Cheng The county government sent all the yamen runners to protect the Luo family. Magistrate Su was very humble in the conversation, without the domineering prestige of a county's parents. He also revealed that the assassination was done by the tax eunuch Gao Cai, and The Fujian government has nothing to do with it. Although Yin Feng had guessed this a long time ago, he still thanked Magistrate Su very much and gave him a lot of money and gifts. Of course, it was not a gift in person, but a person was sent to send him a gift after Magistrate Su returned to the yamen. Go.
...
Yin Feng hired a fishing boat to Taiwan to inform the headquarters of the troops and told them the agreement reached by him and Magistrate Su. However, by chance, the fishing boat did not connect with the Feilong, and Ye Hua drove the fleet straight into the mouth of Jiulongjiang. Because the Feilong drew too deep, he took two brigged blessed ships to dock in Guiyu (Jiyu) and Haimen at the mouth of Jiulong River. The other brigged warships sailed directly to Yuegang Wharf, and twenty or thirty battles The ship appeared outside Yuegang Port with murderous intent, which scared all the people in the county government and the salary supervision hall. The salary supervision hall is considered a customs tax collection agency and belongs to the dispatching agency of the governor of Fuzhou. Therefore, their people desperately tried to Fuzhou asked for help; Magistrate Su of the county government had to come to visit Yin Feng again in person.
Yin Feng comforted Magistrate Su and told him that he would set off immediately and would not cause trouble for Haicheng County.
Luo Xuri decided that the whole family would also move to Taiwan Island for the time being, so Yin Feng and his party were a little slow to board the boat. All the guards kept the flintlock guns and replaced them with less dazzling swords, but they all replaced them with guards. The team's black clothes, fifty guards' uniform uniforms and uniform movements, and murderous temperament made the surrounding yamen runners retreat dozens of steps away. The guards arranged on both sides of Dou Lane, calmly and silently Standing, when Yin Feng and others were walking in the middle of Douxiang Street, fifty people turned around like one person, guarding Yin Feng and others towards the dock.
Magistrate Su, who was walking in the front, felt uncomfortable all over and sweated coldly on his forehead. After he hesitated for a moment, Yin Feng and others stopped. Yin Feng bowed and said, "Please go first, Lord Su."
Yes, Lord Su here is the biggest official and must walk in front. Magistrate Su swallowed his saliva, bowed with a wry smile, and walked forward while talking to Yin Feng: "Mr. Yin, your servant is a local person,"
"Reporting to the adults, there are also local people, most of them are children of poor families from all over the coast of Fujian, and there are also people from Qiongzhou Prefecture, Guangdong."
When approaching the dock, the clerks and yamen runners who were usually showing off their power in the port had disappeared. What was left was the crowded people watching the fun. Yin Feng's warship had already docked ten ships, and each ship sent ten fires. The gunmen, a total of 100 people, held flintlock guns with bayonets, were divided into two rows in the direction of the dock, and a corridor had been divided into a middle of the crowd, leading directly to the position where the warships were moored on the dock.
In the aisle where bayonets were everywhere, Magistrate Su's mind was blank, and he was pushed forward without hesitation. Yin Feng kept apologizing: "Sir, this is mine, I can't stop it. They went ashore to pick up people," In the opinion of Magistrate Su, Yin Feng's statement was completely insincere. The murderous sailors on both sides and the bird gun with the strange tips in their hands, all of which were far beyond his imagination. In addition, he never expected that one day he would face such a situation. For a long time, Magistrate Su could not say a word, and he hummed meaninglessly.
After Yin Feng and his group boarded the boat, they raised their sails and raised their anchors. It was not until the sails of the sails disappeared at the mouth of Jiulong River that Magistrate Su came to his senses.
When Su Magistrate Su felt relieved, the Qinyi of the Wuyu Shuizhai, who was in Shihukou Shuizhai, was once again in a high tension. This time, there were more than 50 warships of the Chinese company. Nearly 200 ships of various types came across the sea in a mighty manner. The entire Daquanzhou Bay was occupied by ships from the China United Company, and none of the warships of the officers and soldiers and navy dared to patrol.
On the way, the fleet commanded by Lin Xiao and the fleet of Ye Hua, who had already received Yin Feng and others, met. Yin Feng believed that since this operation had demonstrated the company's strength, it could not be just an armed parade. Taking this opportunity, all the pirates who had harassed the company's ships along the coast of Fujian for nearly a year were eliminated.
Since it has invaded the officers and soldiers' defense areas, there is no need to be restrained.
So, after the turn, except for the Feilong, the other warships sent Yin Feng and others back to Taiwan, the remaining warships were divided into several teams and began to sweep and chase and suppress all kinds of pirates. Yuan Jin and Li Zhong started the thirteen pirates at the beginning of the year. The alliance has suffered a major blow. The Chinese company spent a lot of money to bribe many fishermen and officers and soldiers, find out where the pirates were hiding, and then blocked the door. Relying on the advantages of firearms and organizational capabilities, the pirates were mercilessly relied on the advantages of firearms and organizational capabilities to fight against the pirates. Launch an attack.
Yin Feng returned to Taiwan Port, and the first person to pounce on him was Li Lihua.
After the sailor rebellion at the beginning of the year, Li Lihua changed her previous scattered attitude and took the initiative to take on the matter of dealing with the Chinese company and Western powers, and continued to run to Macau, Badavia, Malacca and other places, contacting local Portugal and Dutch colonists. She is familiar with Western culture and various Western etiquette. In addition, Li Lihua also has a talent in language and quickly learns to speak Dutch. Portuguese is originally similar to Spanish, so she is even more troublesome. Such a combination of multiple qualities, the beauty of the Eastern style and the cultural background of the Western style are simply invincible to the general Europeans.
Therefore, Li Lihua has become a little famous in the Nanyang area and is already the spokesperson for the diplomatic affairs of China United Company. She has recruited many urgently needed technicians for the company: such as glass manufacturing craftsmen, smelting experts, shipbuilders, etc.
Originally, when Yin Feng was assassinated, she was waiting for her to return to the port on her way from Macau to Hong Kong. She realized that Yin Feng was assassinated. She was very surprised and was even more nervous than Yin Feng's wife Zeng Jing. Fortunately, someone was about to come. Tell her that Yin Feng is fine and will be back soon.
Yin Feng didn't expect that Li Lihua would be seen by the audience and hugged herself and shed tears. Fortunately, Li Lihua quickly recovered from her calmness and retreated, "You have to be careful," she said softly, and then He shook his head and left.
Yin Feng looked at her back and sighed. The relationship between the two was indeed a bit awkward; in Manila, although the two had a little intimate contact, it was only that. The window paper between them was not only Yin Feng and Li. Dan’s promise also involves the fact that Yin Feng already has a wife and concubine. Li Lihua is a Catholic and the Catholic Church is opposed to polygamy.
Yin Feng threw a trace of beautiful fantasy into his mind. When he looked back, the people around him stared at him in a daze. The crowds of welcomed around him were stunned by Li Lihua's behavior. No one said anything, so There was a silence on the big pier.
Yin Feng coughed a few awkwardly. Han Ping first reacted, and hurriedly walked forward with a smile, and said loudly: "The ship owner will survive the disaster, and he will have good fortune."
When the shouting came, the people around him seemed to be awakened immediately and surrounded him to say hello. No one seemed to have seen the scene just now.
...
In the headquarters of China Company, in Yin Feng's special office, Lin Xiao suddenly knelt down at Yin Feng, lowered his head and said, "I am unforgivable to investigate the other party's actions in advance, almost..."
Yin Feng sat on his head and waved his hand and said, "Okay, brother Guangze, stop talking nonsense, get up first." Yin Feng thought about it for a while, and saw Lin Xiao sitting in front of him carefully, lowering his head and laughing without saying anything. Le Xiao: "Okay, I have a responsibility for this matter. You are good at making friends and providing multiple sources. You have been working in this industry for a short time and lack of experience. Your problem is that you are not careful enough..."
Lin Xiao raised his head and said in confusion: "This time, even our eyeliner placed beside Eunuch Gao did not notice it, and the hidden stakes on the Thirteenth House did not respond. We..."
Yin Feng said: "Then, where are the bandits in western Fujian, the pirates in northern Fujian, and the officers and soldiers in Tongshanshui Village, we all lack prior arrangements. You can't deny this, right?"
"Bandits,"
"Yes, Zhao Jiaao's brother told me that among the group of people at the south gate of Quanzhou City, some of them spoke dialects of the mountainous areas of western Fujian and southern Fujian, and some people used the "du" as the organizational unit to fight, and the mountains of southern Fujian and western Fujian were in southern Fujian. The bandits acted on 50 to 100 people as the unit of the capital.”
"Damn it, the Ministry of Security has to monitor everyone, right?"
"If you can really do this, haha, you will be famous in history and may be infamous for thousands of years," Yin Feng smiled and said, "Okay, be careful, be more careful; spread more and cast a wide net, this is what you want now The government does not want to turn against us now, but we have to make all preparations in advance. In addition, don't worry about Luzon, I will take over it myself."
The intelligence work on Luzon was mainly collected through the Russian-Chinese Da'an on Luzon Island, and the new Christian Bernardo of Macau was collecting it. It was originally Yin Feng who was in charge, so Lin Xiao had no objection. .
...Yin Feng hesitated at the door of his house, turned around and said to Chen Zhongji: "You go back, this is your own territory, there will be no problem," Chen Zhongji shook his head: "It's okay, I'm staying in my room, Brother Lin said I must Always be with you,"
Yin Feng had no choice but to walk into his house in a slight way, thinking to himself: Will Zeng Jing already know the scene at the port today? He complained that Ji Zai was not aware of the current affairs and didn't know it when he had supper. What are you saying?
Ji Zai is just like his own at home. Yin Feng has no airs and lets him go to the table to have dinner together. Now, Yin Feng hopes to face Zeng Jing alone so that he can make things clear, but Zeng Jing did not give him The opportunity was that she was warm and obedient to him when she met, and she had to let Ji Zai stay for dinner. Of course, she said nothing except comforting and comforting words.
In the evening, Yin Feng was taking off his clothes with guilt. Zeng Jing pressed his gentle body closer to him and said gently: "Marry Miss Li, too,"
"What," Yin Feng said, feeling his voice a little high, and he became even more guilty. Zeng Jing looked at him with a shy and charming look and said with a smile: "What's wrong, don't want to,"
Yin Feng suddenly thought of a more effective way to deal with a woman with actions than words. He laughed and hugged Zeng Jing's thin waist. A hungry tiger pounced on her food and overwhelmed her, turning an unspeakable conversation and discussion into a "Sports Activities",
