Chapter 524 Ren Yingying's Return
After discussing with his father, Lin Pingzhi and his son also started to prepare for these matters.

Lin Zhennan went to the governor of Fujian, and then asked him about the Fuwei Escort's plan to develop maritime trade.Then Lin Zhennan gave the governor 1 taels of filial piety.

The governor is also very knowledgeable about current affairs, even if he gave the green light to the Lin family's idea.

He also summoned the prefect of Fuzhou and asked him to bring the local roster of Fuzhou to find out whoever followed Qi Jiguang in fighting Japanese pirates and naval battles.

With the help of the government, Lin Zhennan's affairs were handled smoothly, and soon the "Qi Family Army" that once made the Japanese pirates fearful was assembled again.

Although there are only more than 1000 people, it is enough.After all, some people are too old, or physically disabled.

Lin Zhennan selected some strong men, and gave them the status of sea bodyguards of Fuwei Bodyguard Agency.

And Lin Pingzhi was also very happy. After he mortgaged a few gems on his body to a Persian businessman who went to the Central Plains to do business, he used the money to pay the first salary of these "bodyguards".

And Lin Pingzhi also made it clear to them that they will be stationed on the island all year round and accept the dispatch of Yihua Palace.It is controlled by the door regulations of Yihua Palace.

These people don't know much about Jianghu sects.And not very caring.

As for the rules, Lin Pingzhi didn't need to tell them.They are the disbanded navy of the Qi family army, and the various rules and regulations stipulated by Qi Jiguang, even after many years, they are still catchy.

After all, fighting against Japanese pirates with Qi Shuai is something they can be proud of all their lives.

Now this group of people is dead set on Lin Pingzhi and Yihua Palace.

Based on one point, these people are determined to mess with Lin Pingzhi.That is why Lin Pingzhi was very happy to give money.

Going out and stationed on the island is five taels of silver per month, even the frontier soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not have such a high salary.

They bought their parents for their wives and children at home.Naturally, you have to go out to bleed and sweat.

Although the family members were a little bit reluctant, they all supported their husband and son to leave when they saw the money they brought home.

After all, five taels of silver is enough for a family of people to live for less than half a year.Some have children, and even have money to send their children to school.

After less than half a month of assembly, Lin Pingzhi brought them along with a flock of carrier pigeons for delivering news.With the boat set off towards Canglang Island.

Right now, there are nine ships under Lin Pingzhi's sect.And the leaders of these nine ships are the nine escort heads under the Fuwei Escort Bureau.

These nine people were the sailors who followed Qi Jiguang to fight against the Japanese. Before they were disbanded, they all became high-grade military officers by virtue of their military merits.

Just when they thought they could make contributions with what they had learned all their lives.

Qi Jiguang was transferred away, and these small naval officers were dismissed by the court on the spot after receiving the meager severance pay from the court.

Later, because a few of them could fight, in order to support their families, they joined Fuwei Escort Bureau as bodyguards.Now after years of hard work, they have become escort heads.

The reason why Lin Pingzhi appointed them as "captains" is very simple, that is, they are absolutely reliable.After all, there are all kinds of firearms on these nine ships.

If any ship "defects", then the problem will be very serious, so the candidates for these leaders must choose reliable people.

This time Lin Pingzhi brought some former navy officers and soldiers to Canglang Island, as well as some daughters.

Because Lin Pingzhi also told them about the criteria for recruiting disciples in Yihua Palace.

These people know that there is a school in Yihua Palace, not only can teach reading and literacy, but also have the opportunity to practice martial arts.So they sent their daughters over.

Some people wanted to send their sons, but Lin Pingzhi directly refused.

Because the gate rules of Yihua Palace are to only accept women.

However, this rule was not set by Lin Pingzhi, but by the Saintess Ren Yingying.Although he didn't know her intention, since it was Ren Yingying's decision, Lin Pingzhi couldn't change it while she was away.

Moreover, sending the families and relatives of these people to study on Canglang Island can also control them better.Make them more obedient.

However, when Lin Pingzhi led the fleet back to Canglang Island, a group of people unexpectedly appeared on Canglang Island.

And a large ship is docked at the port of Canglang Island.Seeing the banner above, it turned out to be from the Sun Moon God Sect.

And the person who was looking at the scenery on the beach and instructing the followers of the Sun Moon God Sect to load and unload was none other than the owner of Changjing Island, Sima Da.

Lin Pingzhi met this man when he was in Wubagang.Because he is short in stature, but his name is "big", which is really interesting, so Lin Pingzhi has a great impression of him.

He knew that he was one of Ren Yingying's subordinates, so Lin Ping went to the island and asked, "But the holy lady is here?"

Sima Da had already noticed the approaching boat, and after looking at Lin Ping, Sima Da leaned over and said, "Sima Da has seen the Lord!"

After saluting, Sima Da said: "My lord, the holy lady is on the island right now."

At this time, Ren Yingying, who was wearing a white dress, descended from the sky and gracefully landed in front of Lin Pingzhi.

Right now, she is wearing a white dress, which is the dress of Yihua Palace.However, Ren Yingying didn't wear this outfit entirely because of her status.It is more about keeping filial piety for the father.

Seeing Ren Yingying, Lin Pingzhi said: "Yingying, I wanted to go to Heimuya to look for you, but I didn't expect Yingying to come back by herself."

Ren Yingying replied: "Of course, I am the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, and I am also the holy lady of the Yihua Palace. Now that the Sun Moon God Sect has finished its work, I will naturally go back to the Yihua Palace."

Ren Yingying looked at the boat that was docked and the people who got off the boat.

Ren Yingying asked, "Who are they?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Oh! That's right. Didn't I seize so many warships? It's a pity that these warships are left idle. So I asked my father to use the reason of Fuwei Escort's overseas trade to form a group of navy They all followed Qi Shuai to fight Japanese pirates at the beginning. They are all people who are good at fighting. I regrouped them and asked them to capture more than a dozen islands and reefs around Canglang Island, and then let them garrison and defend Canglang The island, the enemy of the province has trapped us all to death on this isolated island."

Ren Yingying said: "It's true that the heroes see the same thing. Originally, I planned to let the minions under Sima Da's command to garrison those islands and reefs, but I didn't expect you to plan it. Since you have all the navy disbanded by the court If they are called back, Sima Da and the others will not be very useful. I will let them go back after they unload the cargo."

Ren Yingying looked at the group of girls beside Li Xingyao, and she asked again, "Who are they?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "It's the daughters of these navy officers and soldiers. I heard that Yihua Palace can teach them to read and practice martial arts, so I recruited them to be disciples of Yihua Palace."

Ren Yingying nodded after listening.

But Lin Pingzhi still asked his own question, Lin Pingzhi asked: "By the way, Yingying, why does Yihua Palace only recruit female students and not male disciples?"
