Borrow the day to change the day

Zhong Jinwei nodded, and after chatting with Zheng Zhilong about the situation in Nanyang, he asked him to worry about contacting Nanyang Xiang.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong went out, Zhong Jinwei said to Gu Baichuan on the side: "You send someone to find Cai Linwei and Li Suiqiu tomorrow, and tell them that the Chinese people who transported food from Nanyang can do so as long as they have enough food. Change guns, change guns."

Gu Baichuan listened to the Duke talking to him, and quickly stood up to listen.After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, he asked with some doubts: "Duke, the people over there volunteered to raise money for my Daming, why should we take the initiative to give them guns and artillery?"

Yu Changjian, who had just finished packing the tea sets, nodded after hearing this, echoing Gu Baichuan's statement.

Zhong Jinwei smiled and explained to the two of them: "The enthusiasm for unilateral contribution is always limited. Of course, they are not unilateral, at least they hope that Daming will overwhelm Nanyang and support them. However, they It is to welcome my Da Ming's forces to touch Nanyang, and it is friendly to my Da Ming. Therefore, for these people, our Da Ming should support them."

When Gu Baichuan and Yu Changjian heard what Zhong Jinwei said, they nodded in understanding.Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei has a deeper meaning. I just heard him say: "Originally the most powerful force in Nanyang is Xiyi, but their number is small; while the number of aborigines and Chinese people is large, but their force is relatively weak. If we continue to export Equipping weapons to Nanyang will enable the natives and Chinese people to have enough force to deal with Xiyi, and at least they will disgust Xiyi if they cannot win."

At the end, Zhong Jinwei showed a solemn and serious expression, and said solemnly: "Nanyang was originally a chaotic world. For the benefit of Ming Dynasty, Nanyang was made more chaotic, and the chaos was more thorough. I, Da Ming, can extend our influence at the lowest cost." In the past, no matter whether the extension of this force was direct occupation or feudalism as a vassal state, etc."

"Subordinates understand!" Gu Baichuan and Yu Changjian both stood up straight and nodded seriously when they heard this.

Zhong Jinwei looked at the two of them, and after speaking, he felt a sudden sense of exhaustion.He stretched his waist greatly, and then said: "I've all rested, and I have to have a show tomorrow morning, and play interactive games with them."

"Yes, the Duke also rests early." Gu Baichuan agreed and prepared to go out.

Before he reached the door, Zhong Jinwei asked again: "Have all the relevant officials been notified?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Baichuan immediately turned around and reported, "I have already sent someone to notify you."

"Okay, that's all right." Zhong Jinwei finally felt relieved to rest when he saw that everything was in order.

At dawn the next day, military and political officials from all walks of life in Guangdong Province rushed to the imperial envoy of the Shibo Department.There are many attendants on each road, and those who are qualified enter the Yamen, and those who are not qualified wait directly at the gate of the Shibo Department.

All of a sudden, a lot of people gathered outside Shibosi.Any passer-by who saw this situation knew that something important was going to happen here.

In the lobby, military and political officials from all walks of life have stood up according to their positions.Under the watchful eyes of the guards standing on both sides with knives, no official smiled, and no one went to discuss the matter in a whisper.All had serious faces, waiting for the imperial envoy to appear.

About a quarter of an hour after they got together, Zhong Jinwei was transferred out of the back office under Changjian's roll call.

When all the officials in the hall saw it, they stood in the middle together and saluted facing the hall.

Zhong Jinwei looked stern, and after sitting on the main seat, he looked at the officials, big and small, below.He didn't speak in a friendly manner as before, but said in a cold tone: "If the emperor sends me to Guangdong, I really don't know what you guys are doing in Guangzhou!"

Xing Guogong's opening was very cold, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.All the officials were cautious and did not dare to be obtrusive in the slightest, so as not to be watched by the Duke.

"I don't need to tell you, the Department of Shipbuilding, which the imperial court has placed high hopes on. You officials in Guangdong should all know what's going on!"

Zhong Jinwei stared at the faces of each official while talking, no one dared to look back, and they all lowered their heads and were scolded.

"The smugglers are so arrogant that they dare to confront the anti-smuggling soldiers of the Shibo Department directly, and even cause heavy casualties to the anti-smuggling soldiers! Is this Guangdong still under the Ming Dynasty?"

As Zhong Jinwei spoke, his voice turned into a roar, and his angry roar echoed throughout the lobby.

"Do you think the imperial court will allow this situation? Do you really regret letting this happen until one day, when the imperial court transfers troops from the north to the south, thoroughly investigates all of you, and exiles you overseas?"

Zhong Jinwei had led soldiers for several years, and then wiped out Jianlu, and he already had a powerful force on him.And now that he holds a lot of power and is angry, no one dares to stand out and refute Zhong Jinwei.

"Don't think that the imperial court will not blame the public. Even if you in Guangdong province don't pay attention to the imperial court, you will all rebel. I only need a thousand soldiers and horses to level you. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

Hearing what Zhong Jinwei said became more and more serious, all the officials knelt down and bowed their heads to be scolded.

Zhong Jinwei was quiet for a moment, heaved a sigh of relief, and glanced at the officials kneeling on the ground again.

After waiting for a while, he softened his tone a bit and said, "But yesterday, the performance of the governor and chief envoy showed me that the two of you actually wanted to cooperate with the Municipal Shipbuilding Department to turn this situation around. I don't know, do other officials think so?"

Zhong Jinwei opened his mouth like this and found a step for them. The officials below all breathed a sigh of relief and began to express their opinions one after another.Anyway, there is one meaning, they are all working hard, but the situation in Guangdong has been around for a long time, and it cannot be reversed in a short time.

Zhong Jinwei waited for them to talk about the same thing, took the case, shocked these officials first, and then said loudly: "Okay, since you have such an idea, I am very happy. I have a method here, and within a month, it will be completely complete. Turn this around."

Upon hearing this, the officials below, under the leadership of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, began to express their stance again, resolutely supporting the Duke's idea.They do what the Duke says.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll talk about it." After Zhong Jinwei and the officials below had an interactive performance, the two sides tacitly entered the topic, and Zhong Jinwei stated his purpose: "In the next month, I will announce that Guangdong will implement Severe crackdown. That is, each yamen sends troops to form a joint anti-smuggling team. Each anti-smuggling team must have people from all yamen, such as the Governor’s Office, the Chief Envoy’s Office, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Shibosi, to jointly enforce the law and suppress smuggling in all aspects.”

Having said this, Zhong Jinwei stood up and announced loudly: "Any smugglers who dare to resist will be killed on the spot. All smugglers will be taken to Tianjin Wei after they are caught, and exiled overseas to be companions with Jianlu."
