Chapter 820: Saving Garaxia
The case of the broken body in Yuegang was revealed, and the people were very happy, because Mao Kuer committed the crime and dumped the corpse many times to use his small fishing boat, so Qin Lin instructed Yu Zhigao to put the murderer in the prisoner of the sailor on the charge of "banditry", and then sent a document to the Fujian governor Yamen to report the case, and he privately wrote a letter to the cheap protΓ©gΓ© Mr. Geng Da.
Sure enough, Xue Xinyan of Haicheng County, who got the news, hurriedly arrived, and looked for Yu Zhigao to ask for a prisoner, saying that the sailor should not be in charge of the local murder case - before the investigation found out that Mao Kuer had killed three girls, Haicheng County knew nothing, if he was reported to the top by the sailor, Master Xue would not be able to escape the charge of being stupid, so he had to wait for dismissal.
Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong got Qin Lin's instructions, where did they pay attention to Xue Xinyan?
On the third day, the governor of Fujian, the governor of the local government and the military affairs of the admiral, and the deputy capital of the imperial Shi Geng, sent an urgent order from Fuzhou with 600 li: Mao Ku'er committed a heinous crime, rebelled against the surname, and the case of murder and corpse was outrageous, so there was no need to wait for the autumn to be beheaded, and the law should be corrected immediately on the spot to calm the people.
The news went to the county government first, and then to the sailor camp, Xue Xinyan's dejected appearance is needless to mention, Yu and Shen were elated, and came to Lin Ying to thank Qin Lin.
Qin Lin and Jin Yingji were present, and Bai Shuanghua still avoided these two imperial court generals.
"I have long known that the benefactor has hands and eyes to the sky, but I didn't expect that I would have a good relationship with Geng Dutang, and I didn't obey what the benefactor asked!" Yu Zhigao is a solid-eyed person, said happily, and deep in his heart he faintly complained for his deceased father Yu Dayou, if someone appreciated him like Qin Lin appreciated himself back then, where would the old man be depressed all his life, and end up in the position of the deputy general of the car battalion, and he could not make contributions to the country?
Shen Yourong smiled at the same time, but he was a little unimpressed by Yu Zhigao's words, he had to be more obedient, and faintly saw that between Qin Lin and Fujian Governor Geng Xiangxiang, I am afraid that it is not "intersecting" can be described, because Chief Qin's words are simply words in Geng Dutang!
Qin Lin smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Yu Shi, Brother Shen Shi, this is Mr. Geng Da values the two of you, but it is not my recommendation." Now Haicheng Zhixian has changed Song Renxiao, I heard that he is a well-known and capable member in Fujian, and it will be much more convenient for you to train as a water master here, and you will not be constrained by local officials. β
Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong looked at each other and smiled reluctantly: "Song Zhixian is able to do things, he is the first capable person in Fujian, he came to be a magistrate, that is a hundred times better than Xue." It's just that no matter how much we train, we ......."
Speaking of which, they are a little embarrassed.
After getting on the ship, Yu Zhigao looked at Lin Ying reluctantly, looking at the brand-new oil-soaked planks, the black and heavy cannons, and the masts that pierced the sky, all of which made him happy.
Shen Yourong sighed in his heart, the sailors had been abandoned for a long time, and Zheng He's invincible Ming navy in the Western era was reduced to the Jiajing period, and even the Japanese could not be stopped, and they drove straight into the hinterland of China.
The sailor is different from the land division, the latter may be more important in martial arts and training, but the former has to borrow heavy ships and guns, otherwise no matter how capable Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong can train the sailors, they will rely on a few old lucky boats, and even the small boats of Westerners will not be able to catch up.
And these can never be solved by changing the county, even if it is not possible to change the governor, so Yu and Shen can only smile bitterly.
Qin Lin observed the words and looks, and had already seen the difference, pointed to the Lin Ying at his feet and asked, "How about this ship, for you to perform?" β
Hey, hey, Jin Yingji was not happy, and glanced at Qin Linlian, this ship was named after the two of them, Jin Yingji was specially selected as a ship, and it has its own unique status in her mind.
Yu Zhigao's eyes lit up, and then his expression was gloomy: "The benefactor said that he laughed, where do you dare to give it away?" It's the ships of the Wufeng Maritime Merchant, let us sit for a few more days and play a naval battle, and the last general and the officers and soldiers under his command will be very pleased. β
"That's no problem," Qin Lin asked Jin Yingji with a smile: "How about letting the two generals, Yu and Shen, lead the Fujian Navy Division and the warships of the Yingzhou Xuanfu Envoy to jointly drill and join forces to fight pirates?" β
Wufeng maritime merchants have newly built warships, and their navigation skills are also very good, but they still feel like a rabble in battle, relying on strong ships and guns to deal with the enemy, and lack the discipline and battle formation skills of the regular army; Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong trained the sailors to be extremely elite, but there were no new ships for them to drive, so they had to drive a few old lucky ships on the sea all day long, and they couldn't catch up with the boats chasing Westerners.
Doesn't the two sides add up to each other's strengths and weaknesses and communicate with each other?
Jin Yingji, Yu Zhigao, and Shen Yourong immediately understood what Qin Lin meant, and they all said yes, especially Jin Yingji's eyebrows and smiles, and her squinted eyes bent into crescent moons.
Even if the two sides are separated one day, the ship will always be Wufeng Maritime Merchant's own, and the Fujian Navy Division can't take it away, but the battle formation discipline and regular naval battle tactics are left.
Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong are also happy, they have long been tired of those few fortune-breaking ships, and the Yingzhou Xuanfu envoy is also the Tusi army of the imperial court, not to mention the relationship between the benefactor and the chief Qin! If he hadn't said yes, would he have had this opportunity? Why don't you go to the Westerners to borrow a few boats for the Fujian sailors?
After this matter was finalized, Qin Lin remembered it again and asked Yu Zhigao: "Oh, by the way, how are the Westerners in your camp now?" β
"That gang of red-haired ghosts, clamoring to leave all day long," Yu Zhigao pointed at Shen Yourong: "Brother Shen said, I'm afraid that Chief Qin will have a place for them, so I will find an excuse not to let them go." β
"Let's go, let's take a look," Qin Lin stood up with a smile.
In the sailor camp, Rob and Wawe bumped into each other like headless flies, and they yelled at anyone they grabbed and asked when they could leave.
The officials and academies spread their hands and told them unanimously that General Yu had not yet handed down the general order, and no one could let them go.
"Why, General Qin caught the criminal, we have cleared the suspicion!" Rob asked in surprise with a pair of blue eyes.
Wawei rolled his eyes and shouted, "We are going to thank General Qin for catching the real murderer." β
"No matter what you do, you won't be allowed to go out without an order anyway," the officials said with a straight face, looking like they were doing business.
The Portuguese were so depressed that Rob crossed his chest one after another: "What kind of test does God have to give us?" Isn't our faith religious enough? In the land of the East, devout believers are waiting for deliverance! β
"And a beautiful princess," added Vawe, her face almost drooling with longing.
Rob gritted his teeth fiercely, and only then did he resist the urge to beat his friend, what does Dongfang have a saying? Yes, the dog can't change its, and hooking up with Sister He Gui almost provoked the arrival of death, but Wawe didn't learn a lesson at all.
The general has returned to the camp! The officers and men of the sailor division who were in charge of guarding the battalion stood neatly, and the officers and soldiers who were originally talking and laughing became very serious in an instant, and soon whined and applauded.
Yu Zhigao and Shen Yourong are separated from the left and right, and Qin Lin is in the center.
The Portuguese seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and ran over shouting: "God forbid, great General Qin, you are finally here!" We look forward to you like a traveler in the desert who looks forward to a clear spring! β
Qin Lin smiled and stretched out his hands: "Guests from afar, why are you in a hurry to see me?" Are you leaving Moon Harbor? Is this beautiful harbor so nostalgic? β
Rob bent down in greeting, then stood up and said, "We have been commissioned by Father Freglio of the Trench (Macau) to go to the Trench to rescue a devout believer, so we have to leave here as soon as possible. β
"She is a beautiful and noble lady, and I am honored to take part in this righteous action," said Vawe, a little proud, who seemed to be not only pretentious, but also poisoned by the knights who were popular in Europe of this era.
It turned out that he was going to save a Christian, Qin Lin suddenly lost interest, in his imagination, it was nothing more than a missionary foreign woman who was detained by a certain daimyo in Yueben - well, maybe in more than ten years, there will be a beautiful and lovely mixed-race little Lori, that is what our Chief Qin is more interested in!
"Ahem, the force that detained that lady is not surnamed Takizawa?" Qin Lin asked with a wicked smile.
Rob and Vawe didn't understand what it meant, and together they shook their heads like wavy drums: "No, no, it is her husband who is holding Ms. Galasya, and his surname is hard to remember, by the way, it seems to be called Hosokawa." β
Sick! Qin Lin secretly spat, other people's husbands take care of their wives, what are you mixing in? But it seems that the mixed-race Lori really has hope...... Too lazy to care so much, Qin Lin asked about the situation of the Portuguese in the trenches, the Spanish forces in Luzon, and even the Western colonists in the entire South Seas, and instructed Yu Zhigao to let them go.
Rob took out a letter: "By the way, this letter asks General Qin to bring it to Father Freglio in the trench, you seem to be very interested in the situation in Nanyang, he is a Jesuit and may be able to help you." β
Qin Lin accepted the letter, he really wanted to go to Macao this time to see, the Portuguese in Macau, the Spaniards in Luzon, are almost the two groups of Western colonists that can be contacted in this era.
The Portuguese left with great gratitude, Rob even said that if he hadn't promised Father Fregrio in advance, he would be very happy to serve General Qin, and he heard that the Ming Dynasty and the Spaniards were not on good terms, and if there was a war between the two sides, he would be willing to fight for the Ming Dynasty, and also indirectly fight with the enemies of Portugal.
"Let's talk about it when you come back from Yuben!" Qin Lin smiled and patted Rob's shoulder, his stomach was funny, these Portuguese people have something wrong with their brains.
Back on the Hayashi Sakura, both sides set sail, with the Hayashi sailing southwest, and the Portuguese schooner heading northeast.
In the cabin, Jin Yingji, Bai Shuanghua and Qin Lin had dinner together.
"Do you think there is something wrong with those Portuguese, people's husbands take care of their wives, what are they fooling in?" Qin Lin stretched out his chopsticks to grab a shrimp ball, and he was very happy when he said that the Portuguese were acting.
Bai Shuanghua was also quite unimpressed, thinking that the Portuguese were purely nosy with rats, and turned his head to look at Jin Yingji, and was suddenly stunned.
Yingzhou Xuanwei made the charming melon seed's face full of confusion, frowning her beautiful eyebrows and thinking carefully, as if she was thinking about something important.
"Hosokawa, Galaxia......" Kanesakura suddenly shouted, "They are going to save the daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide and marry Akechi Tamako of the Hosokawa clan!" β
Akechi Mitsuhide?! Qin Lin was taken aback, the change in the Instinct Temple!
Jin Sakurahime knew the situation very well, nodded and said: "Just last year, Oda Nobunaga was killed by Akechi Mitsuhide in Honnoji Temple, and now Samoto is already the world of Hirahideyoshi, no wonder Akechi Tamako wants to run." β
Akechi Mitsuhide was a general under the Oda clan, and he had made many achievements in battles for many years, but because he was framed by Yushiba Hideyoshi, that is, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he was insulted by Oda Nobunaga, demoted to Hideyoshi's retainer, and deprived Mitsuhide of his territory and wealth. Mitsuhide, who couldn't bear it anymore, immediately decided to rebel, and sent troops under the pretense of being ordered to aid Hashiba Hideyoshi, and changed lanes halfway to take Oda Nobunaga, who was resting at Honnoji Temple.
Akechi Mitsuhide gave the soldiers an order to "enemy Honnoji Temple", the defenders of Honnoji were less than 100 people, Oda Nobunaga knew that he was surrounded, he said "sure defeat", sure enough, Oda Nobunaga was defeated, and committed suicide by setting fire to the castle tower, Akechi Mitsuhide immediately marched into Kyoto, and Oda Nobunada, the eldest son of Kyoto Garrison Nobunaga, knew that he was invincible, so he had to die by seppuku.
Entering Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide was immediately canonized by the emperor as the "Shogun of Seiyi" and became the supreme ruler of the city.
At this moment, Yushiba Hideyoshi, who had rushed back from the western country, led an army of 30,000 to attack Mitsuhide, and Mitsuhide led more than 16,000 people to meet the battle, and there was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us. In the end, Akechi Mitsuhide was defeated and was killed by local farmers when he fled to the mountain road near Sakamoto Castle.
It was said that this regime was acquired by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Wise Tamako is the daughter of wise Mitsuhide, initially she was married by her father to Hosokawa Tadashi, the eldest son of the Hosokawa family, after the change of Honnoji Temple, Mitsuhide thought that the Hosokawa family would help him for the sake of his in-laws, but Hosokawa father and son did not even perfunctory, and directly threw themselves to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's side. Thirteen days later, Akechi Mitsuhide was defeated and killed in the Battle of Yamazaki, and Tamako was supposed to be executed as the "daughter of a traitor", but Hosokawa Tadashi was reluctant to accept this beautiful and intelligent wife, so he secretly imprisoned her in the mountains.
Wise Tamako was a devout Christian whose Christian name was Garachia, and who had provided much convenience to the Jesuit mission in the Scriptures, so when Father Fregreio heard the news, he asked Robvawe and his party to come to the rescue.
"U-turn east!" Qin Lin gave the order loudly.
