Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"These dog officials are really colluding with bandits in the fish and meat village. They are extremely bad."

Song Chengzhou's teeth were itching with hatred. He had been an honest official all his life, and he had never thought that officials could collude with bandits at sea. This simply refreshed Song Chengzhou's ideas.

"Now you know why I must arrest all these people, right? Because they are already bad, rotten, rotten from the root, and there is no point in keeping these people."

Ning Fan said coldly.

Hearing what Ning Fan said, Song Chengzhou couldn't find a reason to refute, but soon he showed a hesitant look on his face: "But if your Majesty does this, will these nearby states and counties be completely trapped?" It’s a chaotic state because we can’t find so many people to fill these vacancies at the same time.”

"There is no need to fill it up. This seaside is already in danger. If these people are allowed to continue to live on the seaside, their lives and wealth will be threatened by pirates at all times. It is better to move them directly to Jiangzhou and live in Jiangzhou." The state has a large area of ​​barren land, wouldn’t it be better to let them reclaim the land and rebuild their homes?”

Ning Fan said calmly.

"But there must be someone guarding this maritime border. If all these fishermen are allowed to withdraw to the mainland, will we, Dakang, completely abandon the coastal areas?"

Song Chengzhou looked confused about Ning Fan's decision.

Because he felt that if Ning Fan really did that, then the entire border states and counties would be in chaos, and the coastal area would lose its strategy. After all, Ning Fan arrested so many officials this time, and the coastal areas would be in chaos. Officials from these states and counties were caught in one sweep.

"I plan to transfer part of the Dragon Scale Army from the Qingzhou Camp to Jinjiang." Ning Fan directly revealed his plan without hiding it from Song Chengzhou.

"If so many people are stationed at the seaside, fishing alone will not be able to feed them."

Song Chengzhou looked puzzled.

"In the future, this group of people will be used to build docks, shipyards, etc. on the seaside. Jiangzhou will soon gather people to form a design bureau to design ocean-going ships."

Ning Fan patiently explained to Song Chengzhou what he had done.

After Song Chengzhou heard Ning Fan's words, the expression on his face changed from confusion to shock, and finally to admiration. He did not expect that Lin Fan's plan would be so far-reaching.

"It seems that the position of standing is different, and the perspective of looking at the problem is also different. Your Majesty turns out to be far-sighted. Everything is under your control. The worries of the old minister are unfounded."

After understanding the key, Song Chengzhou no longer worried, and his worry for Ning Fan turned into admiration.

By the morning of the next day, everyone in the entire Jinjiang area was alarmed, because the royal guards arrested officials on a large scale, causing ordinary people to talk about it.

This situation spread to all the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and aroused the shock and concern of a large number of people.

However, Ning Fan turned a deaf ear to these shocks and concerns. He followed his original plan and advanced his plan to suppress the bandits in an orderly manner.

First, Yingfan blocked two pirates' water points and blocked almost all the places where pirates landed. In this case, the pirates lacked fresh water and had no place to land. These pirates would die of thirst at sea.

Of course, these pirates will not sit still and wait for death. They will find a suitable place to land along the long coastline and then get fresh water from there, but Ning Fan has mobilized a large number of ships from the Yangtze River Basin.

It is necessary to annihilate some pirates in the coastal area, then use these ships to find the pirates' lair, and then completely destroy the pirates' lair.

These pirates are just a group of bandits at best. They are not at all peaceful enough to fight against the regular forces of the imperial court, because this time Ning Fan not only mobilized a large number of professional military personnel, but also mobilized various cannons.

With the advent of precision lathes, both holster and gunpowder technology have been qualitatively improved. Now the power of gunpowder has been mentioned by Ning Fan to another important position in this era.

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has recently found a person who has a very close relationship with the pirates. If we use this person, we may be able to end this bandit suppression as soon as possible."

Qin Ying said to Ning Fan excitedly.

Ning Fan, who was looking down at the memorial, suddenly raised his head when he heard Qin Ying's words, and looked at Qin Ying with some confusion.

"Your Majesty, this man's name is Wang Hai. He used to be the third leader in the pirate gang, but due to certain things he broke up with the pirate gang. Now he has secretly found Jin Yiwei and wants to join the imperial court."

"And this Wang Hai once promised me that as long as the imperial court forgives him, he will lead the imperial army to the sea to destroy the group of Japanese pirates."

Qin Ying said excitedly.

When Ning Fan heard Qin Ying's words, he didn't have much reaction. Instead, he said to Qin Ying with a cold expression: "How credible do you think Wang Hai's words are? How are you sure that he is not a pirate? Are they spies specially used to lead us into their ambush?"

Qin Ying was directly asked by Ning Fan's words and was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he said to Ning Fan: "This should not be possible, because all Wang Hai's family and friends are here We have it under our control, and if this Wang Hai dares to set a trap for us, then his whole family will be dead."

When Ning Fan heard what Qin Ying said, he nodded: "According to your words, unless this Wang Hai is a crazy beast, there is no way that he would conspire with the pirates regardless of the life and death of his whole family.

What's more, our current imperial army is very powerful. Everyone knows that the power of both sides has been tilted. It is only a matter of time that the Japanese pirates at sea will be wiped out. This Wang Hai can be regarded as aware of current affairs. "

Ning Fan put down his pen and stood up. He was interested in meeting Wang Hai. He asked Qin Ying to bring someone here. Ning Fan wanted to meet Wang Hai in person and make a screening.

Not long after, Qin Ying walked in with a short, fat, middle-aged man. The man had a smile on his face and looked like a shrewd businessman, not a fierce pirate at all.

But Ning Fan knew very well in his heart that people should not be judged by their appearance, especially people with looks like this, which can be very confusing.

"The common people Wanghai pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

As soon as Wang Hai walked into the camp, he saw the heroic Ning Fan and knelt on the ground with a plop.
