Just this afternoon, Lin Haoran had just walked out of the Fuxue Palace and was immediately ambushed.

The Red Flag Gang is clearly a premeditated operation! Their occupation of the Leizhou dock is probably not the main purpose, but in essence, they want to create a chaos, so as to create an opportunity for the people lurking in Leizhou City to get rid of themselves.

While the Red Flag Gang has become his stepping stone, he has undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of the Red Flag Gang.

In recent days, he has learned that the Red Flag Gang has always had close trade contacts with Siam, and even has a particularly close relationship with Annan. Now he wants to promote Leizhou to open the sea, especially to open up the "Leizhou-Siam" route, which is naturally the cheese of the Red Flag Gang.

Although the Red Flag Gang's original action against Jiang Ronghua's fleet had the intention of arguing with him, the biggest intention was probably that he was worried that he would open up the "Leizhou-Siam" route.

It's just that the Red Flag Gang probably underestimated Lin Haoran's determination, and after Jiang Ronghua's defeat, Lin Haoran not only did not give up, but directly pointed the finger at them.

Naturally, the Red Flag Gang had a reason to get rid of Lin Haoran. Whether it was for their own survival or for the profits of Siam's trade, they had to take risks.

The place where Lin Haoran stood was still cruel to blood, but he turned a blind eye to it, staring at the calm sea with a solemn face. The world is so cruel, his fight with the Red Flag Gang is not over, but just the beginning.

It's just that he is still extremely satisfied with today's results, which also gives him reason to call out the most powerful gang of robbers in western Guangdong. If he succeeds, then it will really be up to me.

The weather is getting darker, and the sea breeze in Leizhou Bay is gradually rising, with a desolate coldness.

The bodies on the dock had been disposed of, the wounded had been sent back to Leizhou City for treatment, and the large army of Leizhou Wei had taken the captives back to the city, and the big black ship was slowly heading towards Donghai Island.

The finishing work has been completed, Lin Haoran turned around and was about to leave, but when he saw the iron catcher just striding over, he asked directly: "How is the investigation, why did that person block the arrow for me?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, that man has just woken up, and he has been interrogated by his humble position!" Tie Zhutou respectfully bowed his hand and reported seriously: "His name is Yang Zhong, he is a member of the Red Flag Gang, and he came to save the adult!" ”

Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and he continued to ask in confusion: "Since he is a member of the Red Flag Gang, why did he come to rescue me and block an arrow for me?" ”

Things are indeed very weird, but a member of the Red Flag Gang helped him block an arrow, and he was afraid that no one would believe it.

Tie Zhutou's eloquence is not bad, and he told the truth of the matter in 1510, to the effect that good will be rewarded.

Yang Zhong is a native of Changweipo Village and joined the Red Flag Gang a few years ago. It's just that the Red Flag Gang has a rule that those who have not yet reached the age of five cannot return to their hometowns to visit relatives, and they are even more required to cut off contact with their families.

In terms of the day-to-day management system, the Red Flag Gang did not allow Yang Zhong to return to Haikang County to carry out his tasks. It's just that in this assassination plan, a local who is familiar with Leizhou City is needed as a guide, and Yang Zhong was sent to this position.

Yang Zhong did not expect to meet the old lady in Leizhou City, and led people to sneak into Leizhou City by taking advantage of the opportunity of the government test, and deployed the plan to assassinate Lin Haoran according to the plan.

It's just a coincidence that he finally met the old lady who was supported in the old people's home in this city, and staged a touching mother-son recognition scene. It's just that under the pressure of the old lady, he told all the truth, including his plan to assassinate Lin Haoran this time.

As a result, his wife said: "Lord Lin's sister let us live comfortably here with a large group of old people who have no one to support, and she has not removed your name from going to the sea to be a coward, leaving you a chance to repent and reform." If you kill such a Qingtian lord now, you are not only sorry for the 200,000 people in Leizhou Mansion, but you are also taking revenge, what face do you let the old lady have to live in this world? ”

Yang Zhong is actually very filial, and he went to the sea to let his mother live a good life. It's just that once he enters the rivers and lakes, he can't help himself, even if he wants to quit, it won't be so easy.

Looking at the old lady and tears, he was also like a knife. After some weighing, he decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and chose to repay this kindness for his mother.

In the same way, Yang Zhong rushed to the gate of the Fuxue Palace at a critical moment and helped Lin Haoran block an arrow.

Lin Haoran heard the cause and effect of the incident, and he also sweated. If this Yang Zhong hadn't arrived in time, even if he hadn't been assassinated by those people, I'm afraid he would have suffered an arrow, not just an elbow.

"Your Excellency, please be careful!" Yang Yong stood aside, seeing that Lin Haoran was about to get into the carriage, and immediately stepped forward to help.

Lin Haoran watched this fierce general who dared to slap his horse and kill the enemy behave so deferentially, and a little pity swelled up in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty first prevented the emperor from rebelling, and the second from the generals rebelled.

Civil officials are in charge of supervision and promotion, no matter how high the position of the general, a small seven-rank imperial history can find you eggs and bones, and then a impeachment script can make you disarmed and return to the field.

In addition, even if you made a great reputation, like Yu Dayou, who drove out the Annan Mo Dynasty army that invaded Liangguang, you didn't get any war merits, and only got a reward of fifty taels.

Zhao Yong's performance against the enemy is undoubtedly very heroic, but whether he can get the merits depends on Lin Haoran's face, whether he wants to be promoted through the merits, which requires Lin Haoran's help.

"Zhao Tongzhi, I can naturally do it!" Lin Haoran raised his hand to stop it, and then as if he remembered something, he said to him: "You confess!" In addition to their military exploits and bounties, the soldiers who participated in the war could get another three taels of silver! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Zhao Yong's eyes flashed with joy and he arched his hand.

Lin Haoran put his hand on his solid shoulder, patted him and said with a smile: "Your battle exploits will be recorded!" If there is a suitable place to go, this official will arrange it for you! ”

"Thank you for your cultivation, and I will be the first to be an adult in the future!" When Zhao Yong heard this promise, his eyes welled up with tears, and he knelt on one knee and saluted.

But it's no wonder that he is not excited, although he is a hereditary family from a hundred households, he is rootless in Leizhouwei. If he is promoted normally, he is afraid that he will be the same knowledge at most in this life, and he will not expect to rely on Yu Wei to command the envoy.

And now, he has been promoted by this great nobleman, which not only promoted him to the position of Leizhou Wei Tongzhi, but also is only one opportunity away from the Wei Commander.

Lin Haoran is very satisfied with Zhao Yong's loyalty, although it is impossible to collect the military god like Qi Jiguang, but it is also a pleasure in life to be able to take this kind of fierce general for his own use.

The tall carriage drove back to Leizhou City along the brand-new avenue, entered from Zhenyang Gate, passed through Zhendong Street, and arrived in front of the Fuya Square, which was located on the West Street of Zhenzhong.

"Lord Lin is back!"

Shen Liuye and the others had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw him return, a group of people immediately greeted him.

Lin Haoran's hand was injured, but it did not affect his movements, and when he stood on the ground, he blamed him: "Why do you stay here, what are you polite to me, just wait in the house!" ”

"Your Excellency led the troops to fight regardless of your injuries, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty to exterminate such rebels, and to protect nearly 100,000 people in Leizhou City, we should wait for your lordship!" Shen Liuye said confidently.

"Exactly, I should be here waiting for my lord's triumphant return!"

Here, not only Shen Liuye and his gang, but also big businessmen from Guangzhou Mansion, including Lin Rongrong, president of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, Wu Long, vice president of the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce, and Huang Dafu, vice president of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, and others.

"My lord is Wen Neng to raise the pen to settle the world, and Wu Neng is on the horse to set the world, this is the luck of the Ming Dynasty!" Lin Rongrong's voice was loud, and he also complimented Lin Haoran.

Hey?

Lin Haoran was quite surprised, because the Fujian Chamber of Commerce and others were already preparing to return to Guangzhou and were reluctant to join the business he had established, but now their attitude seemed to have changed.

It's just that he is not a person who writes his thoughts on his face like a tiger girl, and after politely returning the salute, he raised his good hand and said: "Thank you for waiting here for this mansion, please come inside to talk!" ”

"Your Excellency, please!" Lin Rongrong and others were humble and authentic.

No matter how strong their net worth is, in front of Lin Haoran, the new boss in Guangdong, they must be well-behaved, and no one dares to walk in front of Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran has long been accustomed to it, and it is indeed not wrong that this prefect is the emperor of the soil. Nowadays, no matter where he goes, it is basically others who look at his face, not the color of others.

At this moment, the sky is getting dark, and Lin Yuanbao has already hung up the lantern with his subordinates, making the back house look very bright.

The living room is a bit small, so the place for the banquet is arranged in the flower hall. Everyone sat down separately, Lin Haoran landed on the first seat, looking calm and composed, and then handed a look to Shen Liuye.

Shen Liuye understood and said directly: "I have reached a consensus with President Lin, Chairman Wu, Chairman Huang and others on the establishment of the United Fleet, but there are some things that have to be finalized by adults!" ”

When Shen Liuye said these words, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Haoran, the real talker.

When the battle came this afternoon, Lin Rongrong and the others were panicked at first. But after the end of the war, especially when they saw it in person or sent people to the Leizhou wharf, their attitude changed 180 degrees.

In this maritime trade, the most feared thing is actually piracy. Otherwise, with their financial resources, they would have built ships and gone to sea alone, grabbing drooling trade profits.

After they arrived in Leizhou City, they assessed the danger of the Red Flag Gang, and the results were not optimistic. Even if Lin Haoran destroyed the Yellow Flag Gang and the Blue Flag Gang successively, he must not be the opponent of the Red Flag Gang.

They also heard the news that Lin Haoran sent an expedition fleet at the end of last year, which was directly eaten by the Red Flag Gang. This undoubtedly deepened their concerns, and they were not optimistic about the combined fleet that Lin Haoran was about to build.

In particular, Lin Haoran is so young, which also worries them. They felt that Lin Haoran was young and vigorous, and watched the expedition fleet be destroyed, and then prepared to build a combined fleet with negative energy.

In the same way, they do not intend to participate in the preparation of the combined fleet, and do not want their hard-earned money to be thrown into the sea.

Just when they were about to pack up their bags and prepare to go home, they heard the news of the Red Flag Gang's invasion of Leizhou Bay, and were thinking about whether the Red Flag Gang would break the city, but the news of Leizhou Wei's victory came.

They didn't believe it at first, so they first sent their subordinates to check, and then went to observe it in person, and found that the Red Flag Gang, which was famous throughout Guangdong, had suffered a large number of casualties, but Lei Zhouwei was not injured in the slightest.

It was precisely because of this that their attitude immediately changed, and they found that they had mistaken Lin Haoran as a person, and even more so because they had mistaken the commercial profits contained in the formation of the fleet this time.

"Lord Lin, we hope to increase the amount of the combined fleet to 300,000 taels, and please fulfill it!" Lin Rongrong earnestly arched his hand and said his request.

Although Lin Haoran was a little surprised, he knew that this matter was also reasonable, the biggest difficulty in opening the sea in Leizhou was the Red Flag Gang, but the Red Flag Gang failed miserably, which would naturally increase the confidence of others.

It's just that he didn't rush to make a statement, but looked at Shen Liuye and asked: "If the amount of investment is increased, the joint cooperation workshop will reduce its shareholding, what do you think about this?" ”

After all, his heart is towards Shen Liuye's side, and this side also contains his interests. This will increase the investment, that is, dilute the profits of the joint workshop, and it will also sacrifice the interests of Shen Liuye.

Shen Liuye felt Lin Haoran's favoritism, and smiled and arched his hand: "What President Lin and President Huang mean is that our joint workshop is responsible for the operation of the fleet, and we can get half of the dividends!" ”

"If that's the case, you're going to suffer, are you really willing?" Lin Haoran turned his head to look at Lin Rongrong and the others.

Lin Rongrong immediately expressed his position, waved his hand seriously, and said: "Actually, we are the ones who have taken a big advantage!" If it weren't for the adults leading the way, and Shen Liuye's actions, let's not talk about getting half of the dividends, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to get out of the sea! ”

Lin Haoran looked at them as if they were not fake, and then looked at Shen Liuye and the others, and found that everyone's opinions had been agreed, so he said conclusively: "Okay!" The amount of funds raised by the combined fleet has been increased to 300,000 taels! From now on, the United Fleet Preparatory Committee will be established, with Shen Liuye as the chairman, and President Lin and Chairman Huang will be temporarily appointed as vice presidents! ”

"Yes!" Lin Rongrong and Huang Dafu were very happy, suppressed their excitement and bowed.

Shen Liuye, Gu Mancang, and Yang Chunlai were also very excited when they saw that things were finalized. The fundraising work was completed so quickly, and the amount reached 300,000 taels, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

With such a large amount of silver taels and so many partners, they feel that the "Leizhou-Luzon" route will inevitably be much smoother. Although there is a need to share the benefits with these people, there will also be risk sharing, and the pressure is undoubtedly much less.

In the early morning of the next day, it was the marking of the government examination.

Lin Haoran's elbow injury was not yet healed, and his left hand was still hanging on his chest, and he used his right hand to mark the file according to the regulations.

Fortunately, there is Sun Jixiang, an old man who has been soaked in Hanlin Academy for half his life. The quality of the test papers was quickly classified by him, and he processed more than half of the papers that afternoon.

Maybe it's because of the sunny weather, or maybe it's because of the smooth work, Lin Haoran is in a very good mood.

What made him even happier was that when he was unprepared, he saw the wild girl Tiger Girl running in from outside, and immediately crashed into his heart that represented happiness.

"Brother!"

This wild girl is still a small body of meat dundun, and the whole person looks energetic. The moth eyebrows were slightly raised, and the brows were filled with excitement, and the big bright eyes shone through the light, and they screamed at him excitedly.

It's just that Lin Haoran's excitement quickly disappeared without a trace, and that face instantly became gloomy. Because Hu Niu's elbow was bandaged with a white cloth, and a strip of white cloth hung between her neck, she was obviously also injured.

This pair of brothers and sisters with different personalities, one sat at the desk, and the other stood in the bright open of the door. What is quite helpless is that both of them have their left hands hanging over their chests, which makes people feel like brother and sister at the moment.
