Chapter 1036 The kind-hearted Chen Lin

"A bastard, I'll make trouble during the New Year. If my handsome man wasn't magnanimous, he would have killed you directly at the gate!"

Outside the Navy Admiral Office on the shore of Baietan, Guangzhou City, several officers and soldiers cursed and pushed a young man. The young man was wearing a short brown collar and was staggeringly pushed while turning back and begging:

"Several sirs, please let everyone go and meet the general. There are tens of thousands of people in Luzon and tens of thousands of people killed by foreigners. The court cannot control it, and cannot watch the tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty killed by foreigners!"

After saying a few words, the young man was already crying. Fortunately, it was in front of the Navy Admiral's Office, which was considered a military confidential place. Ordinary people dared not approach it. Otherwise, due to the lively atmosphere in Guangzhou in the first month, they would not have to be surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

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

"This brother, this is just the admiral of the Guangdong Navy, and he can't control Luzon's affairs. Besides, even the governor of Zhaoqing can't control the activities of the foreign race. Let's go, let's go, you're only the New Year, so let's celebrate the New Year."

After saying this, the young man suddenly became deflated and stopped struggling. He stumbled away and murmured:

"Oh my God"

The navy admiral was also in the general position. According to the past rules, the yamen of the Guangdong navy admiral were all set up in the city, and everything was convenient and happy.

Since Chen Lin arrived at this location, in order to facilitate connection with the navy's garrison, he placed the official office outside the city. Although this Baietan is also a prosperous place, it was in the camp and gained a reputation for diligence.

However, some people secretly said that Chen Lin was smart. Baietan was a businessman who came to Guangzhou from the Pearl River to do business from the sea. The prosperity was not inferior to the city. Chen Lin gained a reputation and did not lose much. Maybe he could still make a fortune. He was so smart.

Chen Lin is not the kind of official that is common in this era. He really has a hobby for the navy and is devoted to it. Since he achieved this position, he has deducted military pay much less. The ships were renovated as much as possible, and the soldiers' training has also been on the right track.

This is what the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Governor of Guangdong, and the Governor of Guangdong praised it at the same time. Guangdong's land is rich, and they are willing to allocate money, and they are less deducted than elsewhere. No matter how you say that, if you train your soldiers well, everyone will have a bright face.

When Qi Jiguang was the general of Guangdong, he also supported Chen Lin a lot. Before leaving, he even recommended to the court, asking Chen Lin to be the general and to be the general of the navy and the general of a province. Chen Lin is really an exception.

According to outsiders, Chen Lin was promoted step by step and did his favorite business, and he must live happily, but his personal soldiers followed Chen Lin knew that his general was not like this.

There are many picture albums brought from Macau in Chen Lin's inner house, and even regularly send people to copy and portray them. The paintings are all Western ships, such as those with several layers of height, complex sails and cables, and dozens of cannons, which are the main content. They are always watching, and then when they look at their own naval fleet, they are frowning.

I have been much happier in recent years because the Mai Guerrilla in Tianjin has customized three gunships for the Guangdong Navy at the Sanjiang Shipyard. It is said that it can be built in the 18th year of Wanli, because the timber for the shipbuilding will not be prepared until the mid-17th year of Wanli.

During the day, someone went to the Navy Admiral's Office to complain. This seemed like a joke to those who understand. If you complain, you can only go to the civil servants for help. What's the use of this? The soldiers drove people away, and they didn't need to report them. However, Chen Lin was very rules and was rarely careful. When the soldiers drove people away, he would know.

After dark, there were still the sound of firecrackers outside. Guangdong was rich and the year was not over yet, so Chen Lin did not go to have fun. He looked at the models of the Western ships in his study. This was bought by people from Macau. Chen Lin really couldn't put it down.

While fiddling, I heard someone outside telling me that a soldier in casual clothes came in and said respectfully after saluting:

"Master, I've found out clearly."

Chen Lin nodded and sat in his seat. The personal soldiers stepped forward and spoke:

"I've been talking a little. This man is indeed surnamed Bai, and he claims to be Bai Wu. He has indeed returned from Luzon. His family has been to Luzon and has had a family business there for more than 30 years. He also got married and had children. This man returned to the Ming Dynasty to buy and escaped the disaster in Luzon. He spent all his family money and found a ship to go back, and also saw the tragic situation at home."

Hearing this, Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed a tragedy on earth. The personal soldier said again:

"This man saw that tens of thousands of Han people in Luzon were killed and wanted to take revenge. When his family was in the Ming Dynasty, he had no knowledge of the small family. He knew that the Grand Marshal was the yamen for military management. He came to ask for help, it was really."

The person who came to ask for help was Bai Wu. The people in the Navy Admiral's Mansion did not think it was a joke, but felt pitiful. His parents, wives and children all died in misfortune. They still laughed when they left, but when they returned, they were strangers to the yin and yang. Everyone knows that the Han people in Luzon died too miserably.

"Do you think our navy's ship can pass?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Lin actually asked this, and the personal soldier was stunned. He had been following him for a long time, so he naturally knew what the navy looked like. He shook his head and said:

"Master, it's not a small person to say something depressing. It's a problem for us to go to Luzon, to Qiongzhou. I'm afraid that we have overturned a lot before we get to the place. There are many foreign ships and cannons in Luzon. If we go out to sea halfway, it will be even more difficult."

Chen Lin nodded, but turned his eyes to look at the sailboat model placing aside, and said in a deep voice:

"I can't control 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 the place where our Ming Dynasty soldiers and horse guards are."

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

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

"The port is being opened in Songjiang, and many people are employed. Bai Wu is a skilled person. Maybe he can make a living in the past."

The confidant quickly agreed to yes, but he was still a little confused. Chen Lin said again:

"You go to the account to pay some money, and then go find someone to arrange it and ask him to go to Songjiang as soon as possible. What's the matter in Guangzhou?"

"Young guy, go here!"

No matter how confused the soldier was, he did not dare to neglect his clothes. He quickly bowed and was stopped by Chen. Chen Lin said with a smile:

"Now the Duke of Liao is in Songjiang Prefecture. He is very strict and does things. Bai Wu is pitiful and does not know the rules. You have to remind everyone that you should not make any mistakes. Do you understand?"

The personal soldier was confused at first, then showed a sudden enlightenment expression, and hurriedly bowed to the end, took the order and hurried out.

When someone went out, Chen Lin laughed twice, then the smile on his face dissipated, and he still sighed.

The completion of Songjiang Mansion Wharf and the shipyard is really a big deal. The sea ban has been banned several times. The original shipyard in Nanzhili was either abandoned or burned. Jiangnan Fushu has always had maritime trade openly or secretly. Maritime trade requires ships, but without a shipyard, everyone can only go to Taizhou and even to Fujian if they want a ship, or find a local private shipyard.

Although it is used the same thing, it always makes people feel uncomfortable and there are various inconveniences. Now there is a shipyard in Songjiang Mansion, and it is still open and upright. Look at those big ships, it must be good to buy one or two of them yourself.

Before the construction started here, there were already many people coming to customize and negotiate business. There are so many unexpected things in Songjiang Mansion. Just after the Chinese New Year, there were so many new things.

The first thing that Yang Sichen, the magistrate of Shanghai, was to clean up the yamen. From the minor officials in each room to the yamen runners below, a small mistake was also mentioned to ten, and then the revolution was directly launched. Wang Tong's prestige is here. Everyone knows that he will not be able to do it for a long time, but no one dares to make trouble. They obey orders obediently. Yang Sichen directly replaced his trust in his trust. They are all smart roles in various businesses. Although this person does not understand the government affairs of the yamen, he is better at obedient and learns quickly, so he can feel at ease when using it.

Tianjin Wei will not open the sea until March. Wang Tong's fleet is almost all on the side of Songjiang Prefecture. This fleet is also a sight in the Songjiang Prefecture Wharf. Not to mention the big blessing ships and broad ships, the most eye-catching balls of the ten tall foreign ships, the tall hull, the soft sails made of thick cloth, and the dozens of cannons on the ship are all dazzling.

These large ships and artillery represent Wang Tong's power. In addition to the six hundred guards, this power is even more terrifying

After seeing these gunboats in Songjiang Prefecture, they obediently accepted the adaptation and did not dare to complain. Otherwise, it would be a big problem for an external Songjiang garrison to integrate them. Of course, these local guards don’t know that even Wang Tong’s six hundred guards were easy to deal with them, as simple as killing pigs and sheep.

What the ward saw was power, but some merchants saw profit. These big ships carried a lot of cargo, and there was no need to worry about encountering pirates at sea. In other words, one trip was to make money. Originally, the shipping was 40% out of 100%, but with this big ship, you could get 70% of it.

Since the first lunar month, many people have begun to find Wang Tong and want to transport goods by ship to give Wang Tong a high dividend, which is also a way to win over the Duke of Liao.
