Zhang Mingli hid in Lingao for more than a month, and finally kept the clouds open to see the moon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter this incident, he finally knew that without a backer, no matter how big the business is, in front of absolute power, it is a fattened pig, and people can slaughter whatever they want, and they have no power to resist. After thinking about this joint, he came to Nanyuan to meet Xia Nan and asked to donate his entire net worth to be Xia Nan's subordinate.

This statement is not surprising to Xia Nan, if Zhang Mingli is still trying to maintain an equal cooperative relationship now, it can be called ignorant of current affairs. He has proven that he can fight against the whole of Guangdong, and Zhang Mingli is just a grasshopper that can be pinched to death at any time in the eyes of Guangdong officials, so why should he still be on an equal footing with him. It's just that he was able to recognize the situation so quickly and put himself in the right position, which made him still impressed with Zhang Mingli.

"Brother Zhang, you and I have always been a cooperative relationship, and suddenly you want to contribute, how embarrassing is this!" Xia Nan put on a few words.

Zhang Mingli naturally didn't take these words seriously: "Brother Xia, no, Master Xia, please agree to Brother Yu's reluctant invitation for the sake of getting along well before." Let's open the skylight and say something, I, Zhang Mingli, was originally a small salt merchant who was not in the stream, and I relied on the care of Master Xia to have today's net worth. Without your protection, whether it is the governor or the governor, even the prefect of Guangzhou, a word can bankrupt my family. ”

"That's fine. Since Brother Zhang is an understanding person, I am not hypocritical. In the future, you will be my person, give me as a shopkeeper, continue to do business in Guangzhou, it turned out to be 37 shares, now I will give you 10% of the share, at the end of the year according to this proportion of dividends. Your net worth and property are still kept, and I have received my heart, which is considered a gift from me. ”

This condition can be regarded as very generous, after the battle of Guangzhou, the future business will only get bigger and bigger, and Yicheng shares are also a lot.

"Master Xie, I will do my best to do a good job in Guangzhou for my lord."

Zhang Mingli changed his identity, returned to Guangzhou in a beautiful manner, and the confiscated cloth shop and winery reopened for business.

At the same time, Wang Zunde, the former governor of Liangguang, left the Zhaoqing Governor's Mansion in disgrace. The new governor, Xiong Wencan, took office.

As soon as Xiong Wencan arrived in Guangdong, he summoned officials large and small, including the new governor Mu Tianyan, to discuss how to deal with Bofu, a fierce and incomparable pirate. When he was in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong, who monopolized the trade along the coast of Fujian and could compete with the Dutch, was already very powerful in his opinion, but he did not expect a more ferocious pirate to emerge in Guangdong. No matter how strong Zheng Zhilong is, it is also at sea, and this newly emerging summer south, the sea can sweep away all pirates in Guangdong (except for Liu Xiang), and on land can defeat the Guangdong official army with less fighting, except for the small scale, there are almost no shortcomings, and in the long run, it is more terrible than Zheng Zhilong.

“…… When this official first arrived in Guangdong, I hope that you will help you in all matters. Xiong Wencan knew some of the situation before Wang Zunde's fall, because he insisted on going his own way to suppress pirates, he could not get the support of Guangdong officialdom, and in the end it is not an exaggeration to say that he betrayed his relatives and left. Therefore, after taking office, it is necessary to first win over the principal officials of Guangdong, especially after the post of governor is re-established, and a lot of power will be divided, and it is even more necessary to be cautious.

Seeing that the new governor was much more eye-catching than the predecessor, everyone was naturally happy to see it happen, and they flattered a few words.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and Xiong Wencan threw out the problem that he was most concerned about at the moment and that he had to solve after taking office - the Bofu pirates.

"You have all experienced the battle of the thieves attacking Guangzhou, how to solve this big hidden danger, is there a good plan?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all look at Xiong Wencan. They were all scared by Xia Nan, and their real thoughts were to appease each other, but when Wang Zunde was in power, no matter who proposed the idea of appeasement, they were vetoed by one vote, and now the new governor did not show obvious tendencies, and no one wanted to be this bird.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiong Wencan guessed a few points and said: "This official has always believed that for this kind of pirates, it is better to soothe them. The imperial court now has to deal with the eastern captives and thieves, and the Holy Lord is very worried about this, and as a courtier, he must share the worries of the Holy One, and must not start another war in the southeast. ”

The governor knew the direction, and everyone knew what to say. Mu Tianyan opened his mouth and said: "Ming Jian: This group of thieves has swept away all the bandits in the sea of Guangdong in a short period of time, and their sea strength is second only to Liu Xiang, and their land combat power is far superior to that of the imperial court battalion. Xia Guan believes that it is better to send people to appease and attack thieves with thieves, maybe they can eliminate Liu Xiang, who has been entrenched in Guangdong for many years, in one fell swoop, which not only solves Bofu's threat to the provincial capital, but also clarifies the foreign surface for the imperial court, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Mu Tianyan said this, and it was not without purpose. He knew that the new governor relied on appeasing Zheng Zhilong to make his fortune, and then relied on the Zheng family to exterminate pirates from all walks of life in the ocean.

The rest of the people naturally had no opinion and echoed one after another.

Seeing that there was a consensus of opinion, Xiong Wencan said happily: "Since you all think that it is feasible to appease you, then handle it accordingly." ”

The next step is to discuss the details of the appeasement. Unlike Liu Xiang and others, this group of thieves is called pirates, but they have a fixed nest, and if they want to appease each other, they only need to send someone to Bofu.

"What about official positions? What kind of official position is appropriate? Yu Baocheng asked. This is a key issue, it is naturally inappropriate to give it to a big one, and it may anger the other party if it is small, so it must be carefully considered.

Hainan Branch Shoudao proposed: "Bofu this place, according to the usual practice, set up a maximum of inspection, under the jurisdiction of Lingao County." However, there are more than 1,000 people on the land of the summer thief, and we can give an exception to a thousand households. ”

Mu Tianyan scoffed: "Everyone knows to what extent the guard is rotten. The summer thieves are strong and strong, how can they be a military household like Hanako. Or pay according to the battalion soldiers, give a thousand general posts, and the firearms battalion, superintendent, fubiao, and town standard in Guangdong are as he picks. ”

His proposal seems to be dignified, but in fact, it hides selfishness. He was appointed governor, so he naturally wanted to establish his own lineage troops, and in these years, there was no Fubiao battalion that could handle it, and even if you were the governor, you were embarrassed to greet people. The new governor had just arrived, he was unfamiliar with the place, and the post of commander-in-chief was temporarily vacant, and in the absence of a strong competitor, he wanted to take this team under his command.

Gao Shunqin, who had not spoken all the time, said coldly: "Master Mu is not afraid of luring wolves into the room, and others may not want to come to Guangzhou to be your personal soldier." In my opinion, the thief will not be willing to leave Hirosuke. ”

Mu Tianyan was pierced in his mind, and he was furious in his heart, this Gao Shunqin didn't do a good thing except for destruction, and the whole thing was a-stirring stick.
