Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 523 Preparing to Form a Navy
Lin Pingzhi thought about it for a while and said: "How about this, the master asked my father to help me push it away. The reason is that the boy has already stepped down as the head of Hengshan, so naturally he won't turn back and save himself from being ridiculed by everyone in the world. As for the court Over there, father, don't refuse. Temporarily shirk it for a while, and when the child finishes dealing with the Jianghu affairs, he will naturally become an official in the court."

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, Lin Zhennan and his wife beamed with joy.

After all, my son finally got the hang of it, and stopped meddling in those mundane affairs.How can they, parents, be unhappy when they want to be officials and honor their families.

After Lin Pingzhi finished speaking, he directly cut to the topic of this return.

Lin Pingzhi then entrusted his father to recall Qi Jiguang's navy for his use after the Spaniards besieged Canglang Island before, and he wanted to raise some pigeons for news transmission between the island and the mainland.There is also the problem of transportation of the artillery built by Qi Lao.

Lin Pingzhi told Lin Zhennan all these words one by one.

And Lin Zhennan's reaction was the same as that of Qi Lao's, and he fell off the chair in a paralyzed state.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly supported Lin Zhennan, stroked her husband's heart, and then brought him a cup of tea to calm down his shock.

Lin Zhennan regained his composure after taking a sip of tea. He said, "You, you are too courageous. You formed a naval division and forged arms without permission. Are you trying to rebel?"

After hearing this, Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "Father is worrying too much. My son doesn't have such big ambitions. He just wants to save a piece of property on Canglang Island. But this time, these Spaniards reminded him. .Although they can't break through Canglang Island, if they mobilize naval forces to encircle them, they will be able to trap us to death within a year or so."

"Instead of doing this, it's better to form a navy that can be used in naval battles, capture the islands around Canglang Island, and defend Canglang Island. And this time, I eliminated the Spaniards and got a lot of gold and silver. I also gave them All the big ships were seized, but the sailors and soldiers Qi Shuai left behind, these heroes who shed blood for Daming, it was Wang Xiaoer who celebrated the New Year, isn't this embarrassing?"

Now that Lin Zhennan remembered what Lin Pingzhi said just now, he was afraid for a while.

He said tremblingly: "But these things, isn't it... My son, now that the court values ​​you, you could have been an official with peace of mind. Why?"

Lin Pingzhi stood up with his hands behind his back and said to his father, "Father has traveled all these years, and traveled all over the world. I believe that father knows what the Ming Empire looks like now. I believe father knows better than children. With the martial arts of father and child, there is no need to ask for a living, and there is no need to look at anyone's face to live."

After listening to Lin Pingzhi's words, Lin Zhennan was thoughtful, and he just sighed about this matter.

When he escorted food to Bozhou before, he met several groups of people who robbed the darts.

But these people are not green forest heroes, not bandits and bandits.Just some hungry people who can't survive.

After all, heroes of the green forest, bandits and bandits, as long as they hear the name of the Fuwei Escort, they all stay away from them.

But these ordinary hungry people, in order to survive and not be starved to death, can do things like selling their sons and daughters, and changing their children for food, not to mention robbing official food.

But Lin Zhennan didn't want their lives, he just knocked them down and left with his bodyguard team.

Every time he thinks of the tragic situation of selling children and daughters with grass signs on the street, Lin Zhennan is more than willing but not capable.

After all, he can manage one, ten, one hundred, one thousand.But his Lin family is so young, he can't save all the people in the world.There was nothing he could do but leave and lament.

But Lin Zhennan still had some concerns in his heart at this time, he said: "But Ping'er, these things are really risky."

Lin Pingzhi continued to persuade his father, "Father, you must remember one thing. Being with the king is like being with a tiger. My son's move is also for the future of our Lin family. The imperial court is so courteous in recruiting us because it is because of our martial arts and martial arts skills." Strength. We can be willing to be "hawk dogs" and "butcher knives" for the sake of fame and fortune, but Asuka is as good as his bow."

"Even if Han Xin is as strong as a soldier, he will end up as a dead dog in the end. If one day the imperial court no longer needs our Lin family, then does my father think that they will let us retreat easily and become a rich man again? "

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, Lin Zhennan couldn't say anything more.

He who knows the world best, naturally understands the truth in his son's mouth.As long as they entered the officialdom, few of them could finally get out of it unscathed.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhennan said, "Forget it! Just follow my son's advice. It's just a matter of recruiting sailors."

Lin Pingzhi chuckled and said, "This matter must not trouble Daddy. After all, Daddy got his reputation as a chivalrous man by following Qi Shuai to drive out Japanese pirates. It shouldn't be a problem to reunite these former famous heroes. What's the matter?"

Lin Zhennan said: "It's not difficult. Some of the escorts in our escort agency are sailors who were dismissed by the court. It's nothing to ask them to gather all these people. It's just what name do you want to use?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "I've thought about this a long time ago. In the name of expanding the recruitment of bodyguards in the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency, I gathered them together again. As for their salaries, all of them are in charge of the Yihua Palace of the boy. And Their work is not difficult, they just need to drive warships, capture [-] islands near Canglang Island, and then garrison and defend Canglang Island."

"My children give them five taels of silver as a monthly salary, and since the first emperor lifted the sea ban, our maritime trade in Fujian has also been very developed. At least a lot of materials from Yizhou and Ryukyu need to be transshipped by sea. Our Fuwei Escort Bureau can't If you only focus on the [-] provinces in the interior, you should also look outside."

"My son intends to let my father form this group of sailors on the grounds of expanding the sea guards. Moreover, my son has also seen several small islands around Canglang Island. Some of them still have fresh water, and they are relatively large. It can be used as a transit supply at sea."

"Besides, there are many pirates and Japanese pirates on the sea. We protect the merchant ships that come and go, and provide them with temporary resting places. In this way, our Lin family can also make a lot of money."

"This plan of Hai'er is beneficial and harmless. Firstly, this navy can be used to defend Canglang Island, so that Hai'er's sect can rest easy. Second, our Lin family can also have an additional business channel. And thirdly, these sailors Shed blood and fought wars for the country, but they didn't get the rewards they deserved, and instead they were sent back to their hometowns. The boy wants to reorganize them and give them a job that can support their families."

After hearing Lin Pingzhi's plan, Lin Zhennan applauded.

"Good! Good! Good! My son is still smart. In this way, even if we organize these people blatantly, the court may not be able to convict us. Since it is a profit-making business with no harm, then this business, Our Fuwei Escort Bureau picked it up."
