Chapter 1036 The kind-hearted Chen Lan

"Bastard thing, come and toss for the New Year, if it weren't for my handsome and magnanimous family, Yuanmen would have beheaded you directly!"

Outside the Admiral's Office of the Admiral of the Navy on the shore of Baietan, Guangzhou, several officers and soldiers scolded and pushed a young man, who was wearing a brown short shirt, staggered and was pushed, and turned back and pleaded bitterly:

"A few vice-masters, please let Xiaomin go and meet the handsome, tens of thousands of people over there in Luzon, tens of thousands of people have been killed by Fanren, the court can't take care of it, and can't watch tens of thousands of Ming people be killed by Fanren like this!"

After saying a few words, the young man had already cried, fortunately, in front of the Admiralty of the Navy Division, it was considered an important military location, and ordinary people did not dare to approach, otherwise with the liveliness of Guangzhou in this New Year, it would not be surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

Hearing these tens of thousands of people, several officers and soldiers pushing the young man also slowed down, and an older soldier sighed and said:

"This brother, this is just the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy, and he can't control the affairs of Luzon, besides, the dealings with foreign clans, even the governor of Zhaoqing can't control it, let's go, let's go, you don't have a New Year, let us celebrate the New Year."

When the words had been said like this, the young man was deflated at once, and he stopped struggling, stumbling away, and muttered:

"Oh my God"

According to the previous rules, the yamen of the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy Division was located in the city, and everything was convenient and happy.

Since Chen Luan arrived at this position, in order to connect with the sailor station, he put the official office outside the city, although this White Goose Pond is also a prosperous place, after all, it is in the camp, but it has gained a reputation for diligence.

However, some people secretly say that Chen Lan is smart, Baietan, where the merchants who come to Guangzhou from the Pearl River to do business at sea, and the prosperity is not inferior to that in the city.

Chen Lan is really not the kind of official that is common in this era, he does have a hobby for sailors, and he is devoted to it, since he has achieved this position, the deduction of military salaries has been much less, the ships are renovated as much as possible, and the training of the soldiers is also on the right track.

The Governor of Guangdong, the Governor of Guangdong, and the political envoys of Guangdong all praised each other, and the land in Guangdong was rich, and they were willing to allocate money, and they were less deducted than elsewhere.

When Qi Jiguang was the chief soldier of Guangdong, he also gave a lot of support to Chen Lan, and when he left, he recommended Chen Lan to the imperial court, so that Chen Lan could be the chief soldier and the water division should be the general soldier of a province, Chen Lan was really a special case.

According to outsiders, Chen Lan has risen step by step, and he is doing what he likes to make a living, and he must be living happily, but the soldiers who follow Chen Lan know that his own generals are not like this.

There are many atlases brought from Macao in Chen Lan's inner house, and he even regularly sends people to copy and depict them, all of which are Westerners' ships, and the main content of the big ships with several stories high, complicated sails and cables, and dozens of cannons is always looking, and then when he looks at his own fleet of sailors, he is worried.

Recently, I have been much happier, because Mai Guerrilla in Tianjin Wei has ordered three gunboats for the Guangdong Navy Division at the Sanjiang Shipyard, saying that it can be built in the eighteenth year of Wanli, because the timber for the shipbuilding will not be ready until the middle of the seventeenth year of Wanli.

During the day, someone went to the Admiral's Office to complain, this is a joke in the eyes of people who understand, and the complaint can only go to the civilian officer's side for help, what's the use here, the soldiers drove people away, and they don't need to report it, but Chen Lan's side has big rules, and it is rare to be careful, and when the soldiers drive people away, he knows it here.

After dark, there is the sound of firecrackers outside, Guangdong is rich, the year is not over, Chen Lan is not happy, he looked at the models of those Western ships in his study, this is bought back by people in Macau, Chen Lan really loves it.

was fiddling with the room, but I heard someone outside report that a soldier in civilian clothes walked in, and said respectfully after giving a salute:

"Dashuai, I've inquired clearly."

Chen Lan nodded, sat down in his seat, and the pro-soldier stepped forward and said:

"The little one has spoken, this person is indeed surnamed Bai, he claims to be called Bai Wu, and he is indeed back from Luzon, his family has already gone to Luzon, where he has a family business for more than 30 years, he also married a wife and has children, this person went back to Daming to buy, escaped the disaster in Luzon, he poured all his wealth to find a boat to go back, and also saw the tragic situation at home."

Hearing this, Chen Lan couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed a tragedy in the world, and the pro-soldier said:

"This person saw that tens of thousands of Han people in Luzon were killed, and he wanted revenge, and when his family was in the Ming Dynasty, he didn't have any knowledge of the small family, so he knew that the marshal was the yamen who managed the soldiers, and came to ask for help, really"

The person who came to ask for help was Bai Wu, his foolish and reckless behavior, the people in the Admiralty's Mansion didn't think it was a joke, but felt pitiful, his parents, wives and children all died, and when he left, he still laughed and sent each other off, but when he went back, it was a strange way of yin and yang, and everyone knew that those Han people in Luzon died too miserably.

"Do you think our sailor's boat can pass?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Luan actually asked this, the soldier was stunned, he had been following for a long time, and he naturally had a good idea of what the sailor looked like, so he shook his head again and again and said:

"General, it's not a small discourager, let's not say that it is troublesome to go to Luzon and Qiongzhou, I'm afraid that it hasn't arrived at the place yet, and it has turned over a lot first, so there are many cannons in Luzon, if you go to sea halfway to meet it, it will be even more difficult."

Chen Ling nodded, but turned his eyes to look at the model sailboat placed on the side, and said in a deep voice:

"I can't manage it, and I don't have the ability to manage it, those tens of thousands of people are abandoned people who are willing to leave their hometowns, and they are not where our Ming soldiers and horses are guarded."

Speaking of this, the cronie was stunned again, if he didn't want to care, he didn't have to arrange for him to go over to find out, but he still lowered his head and didn't say much.

Chen Lan pondered there for a long time before he said slowly:

"Songjiang is opening a port, and there are a lot of employees, and this Bai Wu can be regarded as a skilled person, and he may be able to make a living in the past."

The cronies hurriedly agreed, but they were still a little confused, and Chen Lan said again:

"You go to the account room to pay some silver, and then find someone to arrange, let him go to Songjiang as soon as possible, what is the matter in Guangzhou."

"The little ones are going!"

Confused, this pro-soldier didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped by Chen, Chen Luan, Chen Lan said with a smile:

"Now that Liao is just in Songjiang Mansion, he has big rules and is rigorous in doing things, this Bai Wu is pitiful and doesn't know the rules, you have to tell everything you should tell to avoid going wrong, do you understand?"

The pro-soldier was confused at first, then showed an expression of sudden realization, hurriedly bowed to the end, and hurriedly went out with the order.

Waiting for people to go out, Chen Lan laughed twice, and then the smile on his face dissipated, and he still sighed.

The completion of the Songjiang Fu wharf and shipyard is really a big event, several times the sea is forbidden, the original shipyard in Nanzhili is either abandoned or burned, the Jiangnan rich has always been open or dark there is maritime trade, maritime trade must have ships, but without the shipyard, everyone can only go to Taizhou or even to Fujian, or find a local private shipyard.

Although it is the same use, it always makes people feel unpleasant, and there are all kinds of inconveniences, now there is a shipyard in Songjiang Mansion, and it is still above board, look at those big ships, it must be good to buy one or two by yourself.

Before the start of construction here, there are already a lot of people who come to customize and negotiate business, this Songjiang Mansion is really too many unexpected things, just after the New Year, there are so many new things.

The first thing that Yang Sichen took office in Shanghai County was to clean up the yamen, from the small officials in each room to the poor officials below, there was a little mistake and it was said that it was ten points, and then it was directly opened, Wang Tong's majesty is here, everyone also knows that it will not be long-term, and he is unwilling, but no one dares to toss, they are all obedient to orders, and they are directly replaced by Yang Sichen with their own credit, all of them are clever roles in various firms, although this cadre does not understand the government affairs of the yamen, he is better than being obedient, and he learns quickly, and he can use it at ease.

Tianjin Wei will not open the sea until March, Wang Tong's fleet is almost all on the side of Songjiang Mansion, this fleet is also a scene of Songjiang Mansion wharf, not to mention those Dafu ships and Guangzhou ships, the ten tall foreign ships are the most eye-catching, tall hulls, soft sails made of thick cloth, and dozens of guns on the ship, all of which are dazzling.

These big ships and artillery represent the power of Wang Tong, and in addition to the six hundred guards, this power is even more terrifying

After seeing these gunboats in the two thousand households of Songjiang Mansion, they all obediently accepted the adaptation, and did not dare to have any complaints, otherwise a foreign Songjiang garrison would be really troublesome to integrate them, of course, these local guards did not know, that is, Wang Tong's six hundred guards were easy to deal with them, and it was as simple as killing pigs and sheep.

What Wei sees is power, but there are merchants who see profits, these big ships are loaded with a lot of goods, and there is no need to worry about encountering any pirates at sea, that is to say, a trip is to earn a trip of silver, the original sea is forty percent of the certainty, with this big ship, how can it get seventy.

Since the beginning of the first month, many people have begun to find Wang Tong's side, wanting to use the ship to transport goods and give Wang Tong a high dividend, which is also a means to win over the Duke of Liao.

Compared with this fleet, this money bank and insurance firm have attracted the attention of more people, the rich people in Jiangnan, the salt merchants in Lianghuai, and the nobles in Nanjing, who do not have a large amount of cash at home
