Li and Qi left the restaurant, only to realize that it was getting dark at this time.Because Li Chengfeng shined brilliantly in the defense of Beijing, and he voluntarily sent troops to the southeast to fight against the Japanese without seeking fame or fortune, the court naturally gave him enough face.The emperor personally decreed that he be the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the admiral of Zhejiang and Fujian coast defense military affairs and the governor of Zhejiang, and ordered him to handle the Japanese pirates with full authority.

Southeast is a hot potato. Although the official position is great and there is a lot of money, there are not many generals willing to come here.If we talk about the reason, we must get to the root and start from the source.

Ming Tai and Zu Zhu Yuanzhang's sea ban policy, to put it bluntly, is actually anti-human, and violates the living habits of coastal residents for thousands of years. Even the imperial court has many objections, but due to the ancestral system, no one dares to mention it.But even if the sea is banned, it can't stop the determination of the merchants to make money, and the big merchants go to sea one after another.Which of the Zhejiang merchants, Fujian merchants, and Huizhou merchants did not rely on big trees and accumulated a lot of wealth.To put it bluntly, the problem of Japanese pirates is not only military, but more importantly, economic.The anti-Japanese strictly enforced the sea ban. It seemed to be a fight with the Japanese pirates, but it was actually a fight with big businessmen along the coast of the country.

So here comes the problem, businessmen, scholar-bureaucrats and even high-ranking officials are deeply intertwined, and fighting against them is fighting against high-ranking officials.There were also some excellent generals before who contained the sea troubles, but in the end they were framed to death.Ping Kou was killed by hundreds of officials; injustice was bestowed to death by the emperor.

Of course Li Chengfeng understands this truth, and he also knows that the court is drafting various regulations after the opening of the sea ban, and Zhu Houcong has made up his mind that the sea ban will be lifted sooner or later.His coming this time was just to pave the way for future generations, and nothing major would happen.

As early as during the defense of Beijing, he had already noticed the name Qi Jiguang.Presumably, as long as you are a Chinese, you have heard of the great feat of General Qi in fighting against the Japanese pirates. If you come to the southeast by yourself, of course you must bring this god-man with you.So he talked to the Ministry of War and promoted him to be a general, and he took office with Li Chengfeng.In order to better investigate the surrounding affairs, the two also went to Ningbo in advance, intending to stay here for one night before meeting officials.

Li Chengfeng and Qi Jiguang were chatting and hurrying on their way. Suddenly, they both paused, winked at each other, they both understood, and quickened their pace almost at the same time.When he reached an alley and saw that there was no one around, Li Chengfeng said abruptly: "You have followed us all the way, Your Excellency, please show up."

After a long time, the two men who had caused trouble in the restaurant came out with embarrassed smiles on their faces.Among them, the one with superb martial arts complained: "If I was alone, it would be impossible to be discovered. It's all you." After being stared at by his companion, he stopped talking.

Li Chengfeng said indifferently: "I don't know why the two of you are looking for us, but I have no grudges with General Wang Zhi Wang."

The other party rubbed his nose and said embarrassingly: "You are joking, those words are just for fooling fools, what are the two of us under Wang Zhi's subordinates." After speaking, he bowed seriously to Li Chengfeng: "Your Majesty Hu Zongxian, Zhejiang Xunyan, pay homage to Mr. Xunyan."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Li Chengfeng and Qi Jiguang, but even the companions behind him were a little surprised: "What? Didn't you say that these two are Wang Zhi's accomplices, and asked me to come over and beat Sap!?"

Li Chengfeng: "..." He turned his head to look at Hu Zongxian, motioning him to explain what was going on.

Hu Zongxian smiled, and didn't feel embarrassed, "You were sitting in the restaurant at the time, and the next official saw that you were not an ordinary person. I was a little uncertain at first, thinking it was from the pirates. Seeing your generous appearance, just now I had a good idea in my heart, and when I thought about hearing that the new governor was coming, I tried it out, and it really was you."

Although there is only one word difference between governor and inspector, they are actually quite different.Hu Zongxian was originally a Jinshi, even if he was only at the end of the top two, he was still young and promising. In Beijing, he was the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. To put it bluntly, he was a speech officer.A year ago, he was ordered to patrol Zhejiang and take charge of supervision affairs.

Although the official is small, Hu Zongxian's mind is extremely active, his mouth is as sweet as honey, and he flatters and flatters Li Chengfeng.To be honest, Li Chengfeng has never encountered such a person since he traveled through time.When I was in the palace, I was careful not to talk to people. After entering Beijing, I faced either a man of science and technology or a big boss in the court. This was the first time that I was flattered like this.

In the end, it was Qi Jiguang who coughed twice, interrupting the endless chatter on the other side, "Eh... I don't know why Master Hu and this Master did what they did today?"

The man with superb martial arts bowed embarrassingly: "The last general Yu Dayou, all commanders and envoys, pay homage to the governor."

Li Chengfeng took a deep look at him, Yu Dayou... No wonder, this is a fierce general who can be compared with Qi Jiguang.

Hu Zongxian took the opportunity to intervene again: "Although the two officials are small officials, they can't stay idle. They just want to find something to do for themselves. Seeing Xu Hai's dog's life is over, I want to add some trouble to him and provoke him by the way. Take a look at the relationship between those few people, what can you do?"

Li Chengfeng also knew that these two people had a heart to serve the country, so he didn't say anything, and took the initiative to let them go to the inn to rest together. After all, he was new here and still didn't understand a lot about southeast affairs.

Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou were overwhelmed by flattery, but they were very excited. They are two low-ranking officials of the seventh rank, and they are soft-spoken, and now they finally found Bole.

Several people found a small corner in the inn. Li Chengfeng saw that Hu Zongxian still wanted to flatter him, so he quickly changed the topic and asked: "Everyone has seen the situation here. Do you think that if you really want to suppress the Japanese pirates, you should start from Where to start?"

Yu Dayou hardly thought about it, and opened his mouth and said: "Of course they are Japanese ronin. First of all, those bastards are Japanese, so there is no need to be soft when dealing with people who are not of my race; secondly, there are relatively few people, and they can be taken down by three times and five divisions."

"But those people are so many and cunning that they can't be caught in a short time." Qi Jiguang retorted: "The general thinks that the people should be appeased first. They must be harassed by Japanese pirates all the year round, and they must be miserable. Besides, as long as the army and the people are united, The Japanese pirates must have nowhere to hide!"

Li Chengfeng looked at Hu Zongxian, "What do you think?"

The other party's eyes rolled, and it took a long time before he said: "Your official is in the southeast, far away from the capital, and I don't know much about the imperial court's policy. I just heard a little... The emperor seems to intend to open the sea ban?"

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly: "Some time ago, the jurisdiction of the Municipal Shipping Department has been transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Households."

Smart people don't need to say much, just one sentence, Hu Zongxian has already understood that the Shibo Department is in the Ministry of Rites, and it is a purely foreign reception organization.And the transfer to the household department means that the imperial court intends to collect taxes, and the sea ban is about to be opened!

With joy, Hu Zongxian said: "Since this is the case, the minister thinks that the most urgent task is to train and raise troops. As for those moths in the army, we should kick them out one by one."

Only now did Li Chengfeng smile, nodded and said, "I think so too." Seeing the puzzled expressions of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, he began to explain in detail.

Since the Tai and Zu promulgated the sea ban in the early Ming Dynasty, although not many people obeyed it, it actually only provided a legal basis for the coastal officers to extort fishermen.As a result, the common people had great opinions on the officers and soldiers, and those with a bit of a temper would directly fall into the grass and become bandits, and they would go into battle as pirates themselves.But now that they are planning to open up the coast, the quality of officers and soldiers is very important, otherwise the people will not trust you, and it will be useless to do anything you do.

"But..." Yu Dayou couldn't help but retort, "We don't have many soldiers, if we drive away a group, who will fight the Japanese pirates?" Qi Jiguang on the side also showed his approval.

Li Chengfeng said indifferently: "You don't need that kind of soldier. I have already reported to the imperial court. After a while, a group of wolf soldiers will be dispatched. The number is not large, but it is enough."

Everyone was stunned, and it took a while to realize that the so-called wolf soldiers refer to combatants from Guangxi.Most of them are composed of young people, who are naturally fierce and brave and good at fighting. They have suppressed bandits all over the country earlier and achieved excellent results.The Lord Governor can even move them here, he really won the Holy Family!

"But the wolf soldiers can control them for a while, but they can't control them forever. The soldiers here can't improve their own quality. I'm afraid the pirates will counterattack!" Qi Jiguang was worried.

"So it is natural for Yuan Jing to go out and teach them a lot." Li Chengfeng looked encouragingly at this national hero who will be famous in later generations, and he was looking forward to the "Qi Family Army".

When Qi Jiguang received the idol's praise, his face flushed with excitement, and he said loudly: "The final general will definitely live up to your entrustment!"

Everyone discussed some trivial matters, and then dispersed.

On the second day, after Li Chengfeng washed and washed, he hurried to take up his post. Officials from the southeast region were already waiting outside.After going through the necessary procedures, the first thing he did was to report to the imperial court and give Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou two promotions to help him.

The officials from Zhejiang and Fujian were all speechless, and they didn't know how these two low-rank officials caught the eyes of the governor. Could it be that they were flattering?Li Chengfeng didn't care what others thought. He promoted Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou not only because of the historical halo bonus.The personal qualities of the two of them alone, as well as their character of actively resisting the Japanese even though they have nothing to do with him, are worth it for him to do so.

After that, according to what I thought before, I will rectify military discipline.He also learned the skills of his idol, Wang Yangming, Wang Dashengren, to suppress bandits, and implemented the Baojia system in coastal areas, with fifty consecutive seats and mutual supervision. No one can get in touch with Japanese pirates, otherwise everyone will deal with them together.

As a result, the pirates and Japanese pirates were a little panicked, which was equivalent to cutting off their sources of information. For a while, many people beat around the bush and came to give gifts to Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng looked at the house full of rare and rare treasures, and was a little bit dumbfounded. He finally knew why the Japanese pirates were banned repeatedly.In just a few days, so many military officers have come to intercede with the Japanese pirates openly. It seems that this matter has a long way to go!

Sighing, Li Chengfeng put things under his hands, and then secretly said that since he just took office, he can't change the order overnight, so let's wait for a few days.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that people had collected their things, but they didn't know that Li Chengfeng had written them down in his small book.

After all these matters were dealt with, Li Chengfeng took some time to go to Ningbo Taixue in person and had a long talk with the local Confucian scholars.Afterwards, two students from Ningbo were selected, one named Jiangzhou and the other named Chen Keyuan.I was very excited to see Li Chengfeng, and now his actions in the defense of Beijing have spread all over the country.Especially after the imperial court quelled King Yong's rebellion, it may be necessary to establish a positive image to compare it with. Li Chengfeng was even made into a hero who stands up to heaven and earth.

At this time, Ningbo set up a Shibo Department to receive Japanese envoys. There were a lot of Japanese businessmen in the city, and many management students could speak fluent Japanese.Among them, Jiangzhou and Chen Keyuan are not only good at Japanese, but also have many friends in Japan. This is the most important reason why Li Chengfeng chose them.

Wen Wen helped them up, Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "There is no need to be too polite, I have something important to entrust to the two of you today."

The cheeks of the two students were flushed with excitement. This is a good opportunity to make contributions, so they quickly agreed.

Li Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "The Japanese pirates have been invading the coast of our country for a long time, but we still know very little about Japan. I hope that you two can be representatives of the Japanese country and talk to their monarchs to see if they can obtain what news."

This is to draw the bottom from the bottom!The two took orders without thinking.

The author has something to say: Regarding Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou, some little angels may not be familiar with them.

In fact, Hu Zongxian was the first person to really fight against the Japanese, and both Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were his subordinates.This person is very talented, but it is a pity that he is in the same party as Yan Song, and he has some problems with his personal style, and finally died of political framing.

As for Yu Dayou, this person is a true martial arts master with few historical stamps, his martial arts are world-class, so good that he can single-handedly suppress bandits.His achievements are not inferior to Qi Jiguang's, but General Qi is a half-Confucian general who is best at training soldiers and has a far-reaching influence on future generations.
