Chapter 500: T-volume compilation
Feng Ziying laughed loudly, her eyes falling on the lame man, and she felt a little more playful.
Grass dragon and snake, this is a dragon or a snake, sometimes it may only be a moment.
The smugglers Wang Wenyan contacted were basically certain to be eliminated in the first round. They would have little chance of participating in maritime trade in the future, and they would most likely be killed.
Unless they can make the decision to survive with their wives and children, and hand over their destiny to those gentry and wealthy merchants who intend to get involved in maritime trade, the result will definitely be that they will be suppressed by the maritime merchants and gentry who intend to carve up these interests within a few years. exterminate.
He was not interested in knowing how many of the thirteen families in Zhangzhou could survive, but he knew that Long Jinwei and the Zhejiang Qingli Division and Fujian Qingli Division of the Ministry of Punishment had already taken action, and even the troops from several guard stations had already taken action. They began to mobilize quietly, including battalions stationed in Hangzhou and Fuzhou.
Before, I still underestimated the princes of the court and Emperor Yonglong.
I thought that I was really just asking my group to come to Jiangnan to investigate and understand the entire business involving sea development. At that time, I thought that Emperor Yonglong would be so "upright and generous", but he didn't expect that he had already laid the groundwork. A hidden chess move.
If the memorial he wrote in Nanjing had not been sent back to the capital as an urgent report, which attracted the attention of Emperor Yonglong, and told him in the form of an urgent report that he could act cheaply, if Wang Wenyan and Lin Ruhai behind him had not had such potential resources, he would have This time it won't be so deeply involved.
Of course, this is a rare opportunity. It is an opportunity to reach out to Jiangnan. It is also an opportunity to cultivate your own power and influence. It depends on how you operate it.
However, he still felt a heavy pressure.
Emperor Yonglong allowed himself to act expediently, and even gave him the right to draw the line of action between Long Jinwei and the Ministry of Punishment in Zhejiang and Fujian. This was a kind of naked co-optation.
But he couldn't refuse. Refusal would mean renunciation from Emperor Yonglong's side, while acceptance would undoubtedly arouse the suspicion of the Supreme Emperor and the hostility of Prince Yi Zhong and others.
But just because of the dissatisfaction of the Emperor and the hostility of Prince Yoshitaka, do you have to try your best to maintain the so-called "neutrality"? That's ridiculous.
As Lin Ruhai said, those who dare to sit on the fence will probably not have good results unless they have become a minister of the six departments or even a cabinet minister, and have not accumulated high enough connections in the scholarly community.
In a situation like his own, he is not qualified to be a facilitator at all. It is wisest to concentrate on getting the maximum benefit. But now when the cabinet and the emperor stand on the same line, there is no choice at all. The only option is to What you do is to get more benefits for yourself.
Of course, Feng Ziying also knew that even if he firmly stood in line with Emperor Yonglong in terms of behavior, there was no need to overly stimulate the Supreme Emperor. As for Prince Yi Zhong, that was no longer within the scope of consideration.
"Gu Yanbing, do you trust me so much? What if I want to use your head to gain some merit? Are you willing to die?"
"For the master who can propose a strategy to open up the sea, even if the heads of all the thirteen families in Zhangzhou are offered, let alone the heads of ordinary people, it is not worthy of your care. Your meritorious service will not be compared to just a few. Above the heads of insignificant people." Gu Yanbing swallowed hard and said every word.
"Haha, Gu Yanbing, Gu Yanbing, what do you want me to say about you? No wonder they say that is the most cunning tail-tailed dragon among the thirteen in Zhangzhou. This statement is true."
Feng Ziying didn't expect this guy to be so eloquent, but I have to say that the other party saw this clearly.
He is now compiled by the Hanlin Academy. It is not the head of the dragon's banner Qianhu or the Ministry of Criminal Ministry. He has won several Jiangyang robbers or pirates.
I am no longer the young man who first showed his talents in Linqing four years ago. I am a editor of the Hanlin Academy. What I have to do should not be something that is considered trivial and can be solved by ordinary judges. How can I represent the emperor? Sharing worries among the cabinet is the issue that I need to consider most.
Gu Yanbing was sweating profusely, but he didn't say a word and just bowed.
Several other people finally reacted at this time, and they all imitated Gu Yan to show their loyalty and expressed their willingness to obey Feng Ziying's instructions, but they would never dare to shirk and perfunctory instructions.
“Okay, I won’t beat around the bush. I just want to say, whether it’s Fujian or Zhejiang, there won’t be any opportunities for people like you in a short period of time. Can you persist for two years?”
"Okay, since you all have this understanding, it's easy. I will show you a way. As for how to do it specifically and what it will be like in the future, it all depends on whether you work hard. If you do it well, then It is not impossible to become a garrison commander. If you just hang around and do nothing, and end up being exiled, or even having your family confiscated and exterminated, that would be easy..."
Feng Ziying nodded, "You are the first group here, which shows that you are aware of current affairs. This is also your opportunity. I hope you can seize it..."
Gu Yanbing’s heart trembled, and he felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.
He had never dared to think about holding an official position. It would not be an exaggeration to say that several of his own people were considered gangsters. However, he understood the principle of killing people and setting fire to gold belts, but it depended on when and with whom.
From the current point of view, the aggressive momentum displayed by Feng Xiu's "Da Ma Golden Sword" is really heartbreaking, but the question is, can he be the master of such a thing in the end?
"Wen Yan, talk to them next. They must be unsure now. They don't know whether to believe it or not. What should they do if they are being used and betrayed? But I think they are desperate, so why don't they dare to take a chance? What?" Feng Ziying stood up, left with her hands behind her hands, and said at the door: "Only those who are capable are qualified to be used by others, and if they are capable enough, the relationship between use and being used can also change. I'm afraid you don't have the ability to make people feel alienated. It’s something you can’t do without!”
************
Qiu Bo'an looked at this urgent letter from the capital with suspicion. The handwriting and secret notes were all correct. It was indeed an order from the commander, but it was too strange.
Feng Ziying was too lazy to explain more, and the explanation was not clear.
I have to say that Wang Wenyan was born to eat this bowl of rice. To convince Gu Yanbing and others willingly, he would have to have some real evidence. Just by talking about words, he would be exposed in a short time.
●Through the relationship between Nanzhi and the salt gangs in Liangzhe and Zhejiang, we will soon be able to get some information about the Thirteen Zhangzhou families from the Fujian salt gangs.
For the salt lords, they are naturally not interested in these activities at sea, but they are all involved in this industry. It is not difficult to learn some unknown secrets. Just like Gu Yanbing and others, they also know the secrets of these private salt dealers. Much like privacy.
If we can combine the clues obtained by Long Jinwei and Xingbu here, it will not be difficult to make these guys bow their heads.
But to make them use themselves, and to devote themselves wholeheartedly, it is not enough to rely on favors and gifts. They must also have enough benefits to motivate them.
"Master Feng, Master Tongzhi did receive a letter. The letter also said that we should cooperate with you in accordance with your intentions. However, your arrangement may be too abrupt and obvious, and it may easily cause civil unrest."
"One or two hundred people are called civil riots? Qiu Qianhu, is Long Jinwei's control over Fujian so poor?" Feng Ziying asked.
He knew that the other party was unhappy with the demands he had made, which would greatly reduce the effectiveness of Long Jinwei and the Punishment Department's plan, but it was necessary.
"Qiu Qianhu, I don't want to say anything else. Please act according to Lu Tongzhi's arrangements. As for the reason, I feel that I have no obligation to answer. Although I want to tell you, my duty does not allow it."
Qiu Bo'an felt choked by the other party's words, and Qiu Bo'an felt angry all over the place, but he did not dare to show it in front of the other party. He clenched his fists bitterly, "Master Feng, I know my own rules and won't..."
"That's good." Feng Ziying interrupted before the other party, "Then this is our series of arrangements. Please ask Long Jinwei to follow the plan, and I have already said hello to the Ministry of Punishments. The envoy secretary has also asked the General Affairs Secretary to issue a document..."
Feng Ziying can finally breathe a sigh of relief after getting rid of this Qianhu who has been hiding behind the several dragon guards who went south this time.
In the past few days, he has been almost non-stop, meeting and talking to several waves of people from Fujian and Zhejiang.
Of course, his words are always vague and ambiguous, which not only makes you feel that you have guessed the purpose, but also makes you feel that you are a useful talent. The court will definitely favor you, but no one can predict the final result.
It’s not just that you take the initiative to give you such an opportunity. As Feng Ziying said before, you must have the qualifications and confidence for others to take advantage of you. When you lose your own value, no one will be willing to beg for mercy. Take a look at you.
In addition to Emperor Yonglong, there will inevitably be other interested parties behind Long Jinwei and the Punishment Department. Only when more people are eliminated, can the remaining people occupy more positions in the future Kaihai pattern. Interests.
However, these guys are so greedy that they almost want to dismember and devour them completely. No wonder Gu Yanbing himself has already realized that you can’t survive for a year. No one will let you survive. If you don’t throw it out yourself, Olive branch, he has already made up his mind to take these brothers to Luzon or Dongfang.
