Lin Yuan set up a classification society fee office in Yingkou Port, requiring ships that did not meet the standards of the classification society to pay the fee, and the next morning, someone from the toll office came to report to Lin Yuan: "The charging time has begun for more than an hour, but no foreigner has paid the fee."

Lin Yuan thought about it, called Yu Ming in, and said, "Bring our sea patrol with us, and we'll go to the foreign devils to collect money." ”

Lin Yuan first went to the toll office and turned around, and found that the toll window door was full of birds, and there was no half a figure, Lin Yuan entered the toll office, called Tang Wei, the supervisor of the toll office, and then led a team of more than 100 people to the dock where the ship docked.

Lin Yuan walked majestically on the street with people, attracting everyone's sideways, and an elderly Chinese businessman on the side couldn't help but follow the team, and asked a little soldier: "Little brother, where are you going?" ”

According to discipline, you can't talk in the queue, so the soldier silently glanced at the merchant, then turned his head and ignored him. What can you do if you tell your uncle? ”

Lin Yuan walked behind the bottom of the queue, and just saw this scene, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "We have to make the momentum bigger, so that we can shock the foreigners!" So Lin Yuan stepped forward and said to the merchant: "This old brother, we are here to collect the entry fee of foreigners. ”

The businessman was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "Is it true that Lin Shuai said that he would collect Hong Kong fees?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "Can Lin Shuai's words be fake?" ”

The merchant said: "This group of foreigners is usually high-flying, and no one has ever dared to provoke them, it seems that Lin Shuai still has the courage to dare to touch them." After the merchant finished speaking, he turned around, and there happened to be a restaurant next to it, and there were many people eating breakfast sitting in it, and the merchant shouted at them: "Lin Shuai's troops are going to collect money from foreign devils, everyone hurry up and give Zhuang Zhuang a momentum!" ”

When everyone inside heard this, they were all as happy as if it was the New Year, cheered and put down the half-bowl of soy milk in their hands, put down the half-eaten fritters, and stood up behind Lin Yuan's team, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "We have the most advanced rifle in our hands, do we still use these ordinary people to give a strong momentum?" ”

So Lin Yuan smiled and said: "No, no, you should be busy with your business, we can just go by ourselves." ”

The people on the side said gossipingly: "You don't know the way, we have long seen this group of foreigners unpleasant, do you know the way?" Our goods have to pay taxes wherever they go, but the foreigners, only in the port ** tax once, even if it is transported to the northwest will no longer ask for money, you say how our goods can compete for foreigners? ”

Everyone said again: "That's right, it's long overdue to punish these foreigners!" "We Chinese have our own ports, why do foreigners have the final say." When the owner of the restaurant heard that they were going to go to the foreign devils to collect money, he threw buns, fritters, and eggs into the pockets of the soldiers.

Lin Yuan didn't stop him, and asked Tang Wei on the side: "Among those ships that don't pay, which one has the greatest power?" ”

Tang Wei said: "The most powerful are the British Swire & Co. and Jardine Matheson, these two foreign companies were the first to enter China, and after operating for so many years, their strength should not be underestimated, among which Swire & Co. is the most powerful. ”

These two foreign companies are famous in China's modern history, and of course Lin Yuan has heard of them, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the ship of Swire & Co. to collect the money." ”

Swire & Co.'s ships are docked at Piers 3 to 6, where large steam-powered lifting equipment can be used to quickly transport heavy cargo on and off the ship.

Among the many ships, there is a big ship that is particularly eye-catching, it is a large cargo ship, which is a large part more than other ships, Lin Yuan pointed to the ship with his hand, and then asked Tang Wei beside him: "Is that ship also not up to standard?" ”

Tang Wei said: "That's right, none of Swire & Co.'s ships meet our standards, but they rely on the backstage and never take us seriously. ”

Everyone also discussed: "That's right, this Swire & Co. is the most undesirable thing, and there is no one who does business with them without losing money." ”

Lin Yuan saw that the ramp of the ship was not put away, so he took Yu Ming onto the ship, and there was a British crew standing on the side of the gangway, and when they saw that Lin Yuan had already boarded the ship, they immediately stretched out their hands to stop it, and said, "Who are you?" You shall not go up to this ship! ”

Lin Yuan took out the payment notice and said to him: "Your ship has not paid the port entrance fee, so we will take compulsory measures." ”

The crew glanced at Lin Yuan with a sneer, snatched the notice from Lin Yuan's hand, formed a ball, and then threw it into the sea, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's already been handed over, you can get out, if you don't leave, we will get you to the UK as coolies." The crew turned around and left.

As soon as Yu Ming was about to get angry, Lin Yuan stopped him, and the crew saw that Yu Ming and Lin Yuan were only up to their chests, and they were not very strong, so they despised them extremely in their hearts, and said with a sneer: "If you don't get off the boat again, I'll throw you down." ”

Lin Yuan took a few steps forward, stood in front of the crew, and sneered at the crew: "Don't regret it. ”

When the crew heard Lin Yuan's tone full of threats, their hearts were on fire, and they glared at Lin Yuan fiercely, like a hungry black bear, they rushed towards Lin Yuan, Yu Ming thought to himself on the side: "It's not good, the captain doesn't know how to fight, this person is tall and strong, the captain is definitely not his opponent!" ”

Yu Mingxin thought of this, and was just about to pounce to help, but Lin Yuan was a little far away from him, and it was too late to pounce, at this moment, he saw Lin Yuan's figure on one side, dodging a blow from the crew, and Lin Yuan reached the back of the crew with a wrong body, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed hard behind the crew, and the crew couldn't hold his foot, and hit the guardrail on the side with a "bang".

Yu Ming's eyes widened in surprise, and he said to Lin Yuan: "Captain, you can do it, this time there is really a bit of a taste of Tai Chi borrowing strength!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "I also just learned it, I didn't expect it to be so easy to use." ”

Yu Ming said with a smile: "Captain, your physical fitness is very good, your mind is smart, and you must be very fast to learn martial arts, or I will teach you ...... for free."

At this moment, the crew member stood up, obviously felt a salty liquid on the side of his mouth, touched it with his hand, only to find that his forehead was broken, these were all blood, the crew pointed at Lin Yuan and Yu Ming, and shouted loudly: "Someone, hurry up, someone is provoking a fight." ”

The crew inside ran out when they heard this, the crew of this era were all rough people, and it was common to fight on the ship, and when they heard the shouts of the crew, they immediately rushed out, and they also held wrenches, iron drills and other tools as weapons.

Lin Yuan saw them rushing out and thought, "I can't fight with them, that's too ungraceful." So Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and took out the gun, and fired a shot at the sky, with a crisp sound of "pop", the crew members stood on the spot as if they had been immobilized, and at this time, a familiar voice came from the cabin: "What's the matter?" ”
