Wang Fang has a prominent position, and in the eyes of the magistrates of Liangguang, he is the sky.

It's just that he understands in his heart that this is about to expire for three years. If there is no achievement, let alone continue to stay in this position, it is very likely that you will have to retire in Nanjing.

During his tenure, first the Yao people rebelled, then the coastal plagues continued, and now Zhang Lian and his ilk are holding high the banner of rebellion. On the other hand, what he did in office, except for the suppression of the rebellion against the Yao people, there are still some merits, but the other two are mediocre.

In particular, Zhang Lian's gang of thieves has become a climate, and this news was reported to the court by the judge, and was known to the court. If the imperial court weighed his merits as the governor of Liangguang at this time, it would definitely be inferior.

As for where he goes, he naturally can't go back to Beijing, and he must go to Nanjing to retire.

is also the case, his biggest trouble now is nothing else, it is this sudden and powerful Zhang Lian betrayed the party. Only by quelling this group of rebels as soon as possible can he get out of the great crisis in his career.

It's just that the mountains and roads in eastern Guangdong are dangerous, adjacent to Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and the number of rebels has reached tens of thousands. If you want to carry out a clean-up, even if you mobilize 100,000 troops, you will return in vain.

Looking at the map in front of him, he vaguely had a seemingly feasible route to clear it. But when he suddenly heard a question from his disciple, his train of thought was instantly disrupted, causing a nameless fire to arise in his heart.

However, he also understands that the current situation is extremely bad, and he may soon have to return to Nanjing to retire, but he needs to rely on these children, but it is not the time to let his temperament come to him.

Wang Fu turned around, suppressed the urge to knock the kid in front of him to death with a brick, maintained a worried appearance, and then nodded in a calm tone: "Yes! ”

"The disciple has a strategy, or he can share the teacher's worries!" Diao Laixi didn't notice Wang Fang's anger, and said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"Oh, what is it?" Wang Fang was also a little interested, but he didn't have too high hopes, because this problem had bothered him for so long, but he was still at a loss.

The disciple thought ...... Zhang Lian can be recruited! Diao Laixi paused for a moment, and then said with excitement in his eyes.

"Zhao'an?" Wang Fang's brows frowned slightly, this strategy couldn't be more old, but he looked at Diao Laixi, who was full of confidence, suspiciously.

"The disciple has a staff member who happens to be a small person with Zhang Lian, and he is very sure about this matter!" Diao Laixi showed his hole cards at this time, and when he said this, he also glanced at Lin Haoran demonstratively.

Lin Haoran couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw him behave like this.

"How sure are you?" Wang Fang immediately moved, this is undoubtedly the most ideal solution.

This solution is a bit weak, but if it can be brought about, his current crisis will be safely overcome. Like Hu Zongxian's treatment of Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, he used the strategy of Zhao'an, which made his position as the governor of Zhejiang as if it were solid.

As for whether Zhao'an Zhang Lian will leave any troubles, that is a headache for the next successor, as long as he can get through the current difficulties.

"My staff member said, at least eighty percent!" Diao Laixi said confidently.

Wang Fu was a rational person, and did not show any joy at first, but asked solemnly: "What kind of price does it take?" ”

If you want to let an anti-thief leader surrender, especially a leader with tens of thousands of troops, the price here is naturally not low, and even the price that the imperial court will definitely not accept.

"The three-rank martial arts general has added some belongings!" Diao Laixi said with a smile.

When Wang Fang heard this condition, the stone hanging in his heart immediately fell, and a smile appeared on his face. Just when he was about to agree, he found that Lin Haoran was standing aside and kept silent, so he asked casually and kindly: "If you are stupid, what do you think is good?" ”

Diao Laixi listened to Wang Fan ask Yu Lin Haoran, although he knew that this was actually a small means for the teacher to win people's hearts, but he still glanced at Lin Haoran unhappily. Thinking in my heart, it was an honor to be able to stand here and know this great plan, how could this kid have anything to say, and he nodded in praise.

Lin Haoran's life creed is "more things are better than less", but looking at Diao Laixi's proud appearance, he felt a kind of unhappiness, so he smiled at him and asked, "What benefits did your staff ask for?" ”

"My staff is a righteous man, he is not greedy for fame or profit at all, and he has not put forward any conditions for himself!" Diao Laixi's chin raised slightly, and he immediately pushed his staff.

"Not greedy for fame and profit, it is indeed admirable! Why don't I have such good luck? Lin Haoran first looked very envious, and then shook his head with a sigh: "The staff I met, they are either looking for a future or money, if they are allowed to go to the thief's den, they have to put a knife on his neck before they are willing to go!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Diao Laixi's face changed slightly, and he immediately asked in a cold voice.

"I don't mean anything else, don't I envy Lord Diao?" Lin Haoran pretended to be confused, and then asked, "This staff member of yours won't go empty-handed to see Zhang Lian, right?" Is it money or food...... It won't be to send food to Zhang Lian, right? I heard that there was an earthquake in eastern Guangdong last year, and the local harvest was very bad, so Lin Chaoxi from Meizhou, Xiao Wan from Dapu and other thieves defected to Zhang Lian. ”

Just a few words, immediately made Diao Laixi sweat profusely, even if it was him, he felt that the highly motivated new staff member seemed very inappropriate. He secretly glanced at the teacher, and felt even more uneasy in his heart.

Wang Fang is not a stupid person, he just went to the doctor when he was sick, so he almost agreed to be fooled. And now, he has also woken up to the fact that this disciple's staff is very likely, or this disciple is not well-intentioned.

Lin Haoran looked at all this with a smile, and his mood was also very good.

The reason why he was sure that the staff member had a problem was actually very simple, and he analyzed the problem from the word "profit".

Now Zhang Lian has tens of thousands of troops, and he has become the real emperor of the soil. Without the threat of the imperial court, without being pinched into the predicament, how could he accept Zhao'an lightly?

In particular, he knew the lives of some Guangdong celebrities, so he naturally knew the ending of this Zhang Lian, so he concluded that there must be something wrong with this staff.

Wang Fang is an old fritter in officialdom after all, even if he wants to pull the table at this time, he can stop himself, raised his hand and said to the two: "Ruoyu, Ziqian, let's come over and sit and talk!" ”

It's just that the tone of his words still reveals his cordiality to Lin Haoran, but he seems alienated from Diao Laixi. For this, Diao Laixi also saw it, and his heart seemed even more uneasy.

Tea was served, and the three of them sat around the table.

Lin Haoran paid attention to the etiquette of officialdom, and waited for Wang Fang to sit down, and he would come forward and sit down.

There was just a little episode, Diao Laixi was anxious to sit down before Lin Haoran after seeing Wang Fan sit down, so as to ensure that he had a more "honorable status" than Lin Haoran.

As everyone knows, he is too obese, or there is a problem with the stool. saw the round stool "click", and then he fell on all fours, looking extremely embarrassed.

Flutter!

When Lin Haoran saw this, he almost couldn't help laughing.

Wang Fang's face was not good-looking, and he was even more disappointed with this child. I thought he was a malleable talent, but after a few contacts, it was not much different from a straw bale.

On the other hand, this young Wen Kuijun showed a shrewdness that did not match his age. Not only is he behaving properly, but he is also cautious, and especially politically wise, he will be able to rise step by step.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Fang took the initiative to open the topic and said: "Ruoyu, you were born in Guangdong, and western Guangdong is quite similar to eastern Guangdong, what is the best strategy for Zhang Lian's gang of rebels?" ”

Diao Laixi snorted coldly in his heart, and glanced at Lin Haoran secretly, not thinking that this kid could have any good plans. In other words, the problem is almost unsolvable, and there is no solution at all.

"Dare to ask the Lord of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs what do you think is the similarity between western Guangdong and eastern Guangdong?" Lin Haoran's heart moved, but he was not in a hurry to offer advice.

"Both eastern and western Guangdong are located in remote areas, and they are both easy to breed bandits!" Wang Fang pondered for a moment, which is to point out the similarities between the two.

When Lin Haoran heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked into Wang Fang's eyes and asked, "If Wang Lian, a group of traitors, is entrenched in western Guangdong, what will the Lord of the Ministry do?" ”

"Naturally, let Guang ......" Wang Fu was about to blurt out, but when the words reached his throat, he suddenly swallowed them back, and his face immediately showed a contemplative expression.

Hey?

Diao Laixi looked at the teacher's strange appearance, but his brain was like a mess, and he didn't know what they were talking about. I feel like they've said something, but it doesn't seem like they're saying anything.

Lin Haoran hesitated for a moment, but still said thoroughly: "Western Guangdong can be cleared with the help of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, and the same is true in eastern Guangdong, which can be used to eliminate Wang Lian and other rebels with the help of the troops of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. ”

Wang Fu thought about it for a long time, but he sighed and said with a solemn face: "Let me think about this again!" ”

Lin Haoran looked at his statement, but he was not surprised.

Although the two provinces joined forces in eastern Guangdong to outflank Zhang Lian from east to west, Zhang Lian was bound to lose. It's just that this matter is not as simple as suppressing bandits, and it has already involved party disputes in the imperial court.

Wang Fang and Xu Jie are the same year, they are the backbone of the Xu Party, and they are the spokesperson of the Xu Party in the Liangguang region. On the other hand, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, was a core member of the Yan Party and the spokesman of the Yan Party in Nanzhili, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian.

Now, if Hu Zongxian wants to send troops to help him eliminate Wang Lian, this matter will undoubtedly be very difficult, at least Xu Dang will have to pay some price.

Things have come to this point, but it is not something that Lin Haoran, the small prefect of Leizhou, can participate in. After all, in front of Yan Dang and Xu Dang, he is simply a little ant, and he is insignificant at all.

Diao Laixi's eyes lit up, and he felt that this idea was good. But looking at the teacher's solemn face, he thought that the teacher didn't want to make a big problem, and he was afraid that he would lose points in front of the saint.

Everyone is busy for their own interests, and Lin Haoran is naturally no exception, suddenly had an idea, and pretended to say: "Xia Guan thinks that the Lord of the Ministry does not need to worry about Zhang Lian's traitors at this time, he can go to the court to see the loyalty and ability of the Lord of the Ministry of Justice!" ”

"Near and far?" Wang Fu was about to pick up the teacup, but at this time, he was confused, and looked at Lin Haoran in confusion.

"What are you talking about?" Diao Laixi's brain melon was not far enough to ask directly.

Lin Haoran smiled slightly, got up from his seat, walked to the front of the map, put his index finger and ring finger together, and then pointed heavily at a certain place on the map.

Many officials in Guangdong will be more or less puzzled, Lin Wenkui obviously returned with the mission of opening the sea, but he was obsessed with the mess in Leizhou Mansion, but he forgot all about the position of Guangdong City's Bo Si promotion.

It's just that everyone is actually wrong, Lin Haoran thinks about this mission of opening the sea all the time, and the reason why there is no movement is that he feels that the time is not yet ripe.

But now, he felt that the time was ripe, his sword should be unsheathed, and it was time to show his majesty in this Guangzhou city.

"Haojing?"

"Franc Robot?"

Wang Fu and Diao Laixi's eyes fell on the fingertips, knowing where he was pointing, and guessing what he wanted to target.

Lin Haoran's face looked solemn and said: "Franc is a man, good at forging firearms, and the ship is comparable to Zheng He's treasure ship." It came from thousands of miles away, not for profit, but also for my Ming territory. At first, under the pretext of drying and flooding goods, he settled in Haojing, and now he has been acquiesced by the lord of the domain and has been stationed here for a long time! ”

"Lord Lin is cautious!" Diao Laixi interrupted suddenly, his eyes showing a kind of schadenfreude-like pride.

Lin Haoran didn't pay attention to it, and continued to talk eloquently: "Xiangshan Haojing is only more than 100 miles away from Guangzhou Mansion, at the west mouth of the Pearl River, and large-scale construction of fortifications has begun!" If we allow the Franco machine to become bigger, it will definitely pose a threat to my Guangzhou Mansion, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Wang Fu showed a solemn expression, but Diao Laixi said disdainfully: "Governor Lin, you are just alarmist!" The Francophone is just a fanyi, and its country is thousands of miles away, why should he be afraid? It came across the ocean, but it was just like the Nanyang merchants, greedy for profit! ”

"Is it just greed?" Lin Haoran snorted coldly, and then asked directly: "How should the Manchurian country explain?" During the Zhengde period, the Franco-Mechanics occupied the territory of the Manchurian State and have not returned it so far, can this be explained by a Yishang? ”

Diao Laixi was speechless, but he still said angrily: "Governor Lin, you are looking for trouble!" So many problems have not been solved, why do you hold on to the little Franco? ”

"It's not that I'm holding him!" Lin Haoran was a little weak-hearted, but he still looked at Wang Fu with a worried expression and said: "It's that I think the ministry should solve the most urgent problem at present, instead of seeking the near and far!" ”

Wang Fang can naturally hear his extraneous voice, this "near" naturally refers to the Francophile, and "far" is Zhang Lian's betrayal.

To be honest, with Guangdong's current strength, even if it adds some military strength to Guangxi, it will be very difficult to solve Zhang Lian's problem alone, at least in terms of force.

It's just that his political wisdom is not low, and when he heard that Lin Haoran wanted to do something to the Franc machine, he first sighed lightly, and then said pointedly: "If you go to Guangzhou City, can you go to visit the political envoy?" ”

A smile immediately appeared on Diao Laixi's face, and he looked at Lin Haoran proudly, unable to hide the schadenfreude.

The biggest difference between the Franco-Rang people and other Yi merchants is that they have a strong protective umbrella - Wang Bai, the current political envoy of Guangdong and deputy envoy of Guangdong Patrol.

It is said that during the Yongle period, the official position of patrolling the sea was established in the coastal provinces of the country. At first, the patrol was only subordinate to the Inspectorate, mainly responsible for coastal anti-smuggling and anti-piracy.

During the Jiajing period, because the coastal area was attacked by a large number of pirates, the status of the patrol sea channel was suddenly raised, and it was a large organization integrating military, criminal investigation, anti-smuggling, and supervision.

Since he belongs to the Department of Justice, he has always been appointed as the Deputy Inspector of the Department of Justice, and Wang Bai is the Deputy Inspector and Deputy Envoy of Guangdong's Patrol Route, responsible for the entire coastal defense work in Guangdong.

In the contact with the Franc machine, Wang Bai not only got benefits, but also got a spice that Emperor Jiajing loved from the Franc machine - "ambergris".

It was by virtue of the political speculation of the "ambergris" that Wang Bai was promoted. He was promoted from the deputy envoy to the political envoy of Guangdong, and continued to serve as the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Patrol Road, with a status second only to Wang Fang.

Nowadays, the Franc machine man has controlled the spice trade road in Southeast Asia, and most of the spices shipped into the Ming Dynasty have to pass through the hands of the Franc machine, and the Franc machine man has almost become the only seller.

If he wanted to move the Franc machine, Wang Bai would definitely be the first to stand up against it, and his anger was probably not something that Lin Haoran, a small prefect of Leizhou, could withstand.
