Chapter 82: The bottom line
In Chaoyang County, outside the Maerjiao Cape, two fleets stopped at a distance of two miles away.
In the northern fleet, several large and small Haicang ships and Cangshan Iron are surrounded by a thousand-material Daguang ship made of iron and wooden. On the main mast of the Daguang ship, there is a red flag with a bucket, and a line of eye-catching black characters are written on it:
‘The imperial envoy governor Guangdong and other places provide military affairs and food and money’!
It was the boat of Guangdong Governor Lin Run.
On the deck, ship tower, and gangway, the well-armed personal soldiers were fully armed and their military appearance was very neat.
After Lin Daogan received the search, he quickly climbed to the bow deck under the leadership of Paul Tang.
There, a handsome man wearing a crimson official robe and a peacock pattern on his chest was looking at him with a smile.
"That's Lin Zhongcheng." Tang Paul quickly reminded in a low voice.
Lin Daogan didn't expect that the governor was about the same age as him and was even more handsome than him. He quickly suppressed his surprise, stepped forward quickly, and bowed under the stairs.
"The last general Lin Daogan, pays homage to the Chief Secretary, will be in a misfortune and be punished for death!"
"Hahaha, General Lin, get up quickly." Lin Run walked down the stairs, bent down to help Lin Daogan up, and looked at him carefully. He praised: "Okay, today I finally saw the famous General Lin. As expected, I am extraordinary, and I am a true hero!"
After Lin Run's praise, Lin Daogan was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands. He stuttered: "Zhongcheng praised me, the most, the most general is not that good..."
"Hahaha! General Lin can dominate Fujian and Guangdong for more than ten years, and his courage and talent are naturally ten times more powerful than humans, but he didn't expect that you can still understand the righteousness and make a quick decision to turn the tide for the court. This really makes our court look at him with admiration!" Lin Run patted his shoulder with approval and said in a deep voice: "This time you have made the first contribution to Chaozhou and Guangdong, and it also proves that your unreasonable suspicion about you is unreasonable!"
"Thank you... Zhongcheng's praise..." Lin Dao's eyes turned red. This was the first time he had heard the recognition of court officials since he accepted the amnesty. And it was also the recognition from the governor of Guangdong!
For Chaozhouzi, who had never left Lingnan in their entire lives, the weight of the Guangdong governor is even greater than that of the emperor in Beijing.
Thinking of the rolling eyes and slander he suffered in the past, and after recruiting the amnesty, Lin Daogan could no longer suppress his emotions and could not help but burst into tears.
Since the day he went into the sea, Wu Ping has taught him a way to save his life - every night when he goes to bed, he must tie a lit incense of thread to his fingers or toes. When the incense of thread is burned to the end, it will burn his hands and feet, waking him out of his sleep. This can prevent him from sleeping too hard and not knowing what changes have happened outside.
Then no matter how he wakes up, he will immediately change his place to sleep, so that no one can tell where he is sleeping, so naturally he will not be able to assassinate him... It is similar to the emperor sleeping in twenty-seven beds at night.
It would be fine when he was a pirate, but the outlaws should have the awareness of the outlaws. After accepting the invitation, he still maintained this habit, fearing that the assassins from the government would come to him in the middle of the night.
It is conceivable how much pressure and fear will reach over time?
Lin Zhongcheng's words finally made him see hope for a stable sleep, and once his emotions were released, he could not hold back.
"If you want to cry, just cry as soon as possible. Men don't cry easily, but they are not sad." Lin Run smiled understandingly: "After crying, the past is overturned, and it is a new beginning!"
"Yes." Lin Daogan hugged his head, then lowered his head to cover his face, and burst into tears.
~~
In that inconspicuous corner, Zhao Hao asked the professional sister Ma with a smile: "Let's look at Lin Dao's acting skills, can he ask for a bowl of rice on the Qinhuai River?"
"I'm so sad to see him crying, why must it be the act?" Sister Ma took off her golden glasses and wiped the fog on it, as if she was so moved.
"He is a pirate leader who kills people, will he still have tears? There are also crocodile tears." Zhao Hao didn't believe it: "But this drama must be performed like this. Lin Zhongcheng knew it well, but he just had to cooperate with him in the performance. If you don't believe it, you should follow the established routine, and he should say, 'I will be the last one to serve the death...'"
Outside, Lin Daogan had raised his head again, cheered up his spirits, kneeled in front of Lin Run, and raised his butt and whispered: "I will definitely serve Zhongcheng's trust as if I have to regret it! If I regret it, I will kill me!"
In the cabin, Sister Ma covered her mouth and laughed. Finally, Fang Jiao glanced at him pretty and said, "Young Master is really good. But since you know that this person is all tricks, why should you choose him?"
"Because you can only drive, you can't drive a boat." Zhao Hao picked up her slender white little hand and kissed her: "Or I'll let you be the One Piece for me."
"Isn't there any sister Huaixiu?" Sister Ma's fingers gently raised his chin and suddenly took it away. When it came to the hook, the other four people in the management company tied up, and they were no match for her.
"He is a serious entrepreneur." Zhao Hao indeed hugged her slender waist.
"What the young master means is that I am not serious?" Sister Ma bit her lower lip resentfully, making Zhao Hao feel like a grass grow in his heart. If the governor hadn't been meeting his subordinates outside, Mr. Zhao would have...shyly ran out.
"I want you to look good tonight." He quickly let go of the seductive little waist semen, took a deep breath to calm down the qi and blood, and turned his eyes to Lin Daogan and said: "It's not scary to play routines. As long as you know his routines, you can counter-routine him."
As he said that, he pushed open the hatch door and went out.
Sister Ma covered her mouth and laughed. Actually, she was also reversing the routine just now...
~~
On the deck, Lin Run was encouraging Lin Daogan. When he saw Zhao Hao coming out, he greeted him and said with a smile: "Why don't you come here yet, thank Ling Zun's savior?"
Zhao Hao smiled and bowed deeply to Lin Daogan, and said with gratitude: "I am so grateful to Brother Lin. I have been dependent on my father since I was a child, and my father is everything for me. I really don't know how to express my gratitude. I will definitely repay Brother Lin."
"You are... Master Zhao?" Lin Daogan looked at Zhao Hao in disbelief after hearing this. He never expected that the godfather's words were as omnipotent as a monster, almost one of the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, was so tender...
"His surname is Zhao, and he can really afford the word "Young Master." Lin Run smiled and said, "That should be him."
"Oh, I'm so rude to see the young master." Lin Daogan suppressed his inner surprise and quickly bowed to Zhao Hao.
He knew better than anyone else that the governor's next trip was caused by this young man who was not as good as the one who had not yet reached the age of twentieth.
Lin Daogan thought that the so-called endorsement of the other party was to ask the governor to express his merits and seek rewards. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao actually brought the governor to him.
Therefore, at Zhao Hao's age, he will only make him feel terrified and will not feel any contempt.
"Brother Lin is so polite." Mr. Zhao's smile was as bright as a harmless boy from the door. "It's a pity that he came one step late, so he didn't catch a heroic figure who defeated a thief in Hanjiangkou."
"A thief?" Lin Daogan was stunned.
"Oh, this is a newly edited angel and dance in Chaozhou. It tells the glorious deeds of Chaozhou military and civilians and Brother Lin join hands to fight against Zeng Yiben Pirate Group." Zhao Hao said with admiration: "Now, all the people in Chaozhou are grateful to Brother Lin."
"So, protecting the country and protecting the people is the duty of the last general." Lin Daogan replied quickly, but he felt absurd in his heart. He didn't expect that he would say such lines for a day.
But this feeling is pretty good.
~~
"At noon that day, the Governor's fleet entered Xiawei Port under the reception of Lindao.
As soon as he arrived at the dock, Zhao Hao saw at a glance the spoils he asked Tang Paul to send. He pointed to the more than 30 large and broad ships docked next to the farthest pier, and shouted excitedly: "That's when Brother Lin seized a stolen warship in Han Jiangkou, right?"
"Uh, yes..." Lin Daogan was sweating, and he thought that it was clearly sent by you. But how could he deny this situation? Then wouldn't he destroy Mr. Zhao?
Lin Run was also shocked when he saw this. He originally thought that Zhao Hao's so-called victory in Hanjiangkou was just a boast. Now, seeing the large warships seized in this battle, it was almost as large as the Guangdong Navy.
If this weren't a great victory, there would be no great victory in the southeast coast...
"Do the statistics immediately after getting ashore. Our court will ask for merits for General Lin!" Lin Run ordered his subordinate Wu Chenshi. The fat and somewhat obscene temperament of Wu Chenshi quickly responded with a smile.
Seeing that they were determined to make up for their own affairs, Lin Daogan was determined to argue a few times, but the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and in the end he didn't say anything...
Although Mr. Zhao gave the credit to himself, if he had a choice, Lin Daogan would rather not be the big gift package that received both fame and fortune - because the big gift package also contained poison pills!
Although he was successfully convinced by Xu Wei, he only planned to quarrel, at most, and it was enough to scare Zeng Laogong. Just starting a war against his former brothers was too unauthorized, and secondly, it was not in his interests, so he would never do it.
But who would have thought that before his fleet left the port, Zeng Yiben and a group of sea owners over there made Zhao Hao fight in Hanjiangkou and was captured more than 30 large and broad ships!
When he heard this news, Lin Daogan was shocked. If he hadn't watched the more than 30 large and Guang ships being dragged into Xiawei Port and killed, he wouldn't have believed that Zhao Hao could have abused Zeng Yiben with ten small boats.
Later, Lin Daogan carefully asked his subordinates who went to the tugboat and roughly guessed that the other party took advantage of the narrow defects of the Hanjiang channel and carefully selected the half-floor attack at the low tide. Taking advantage of the panic of the pirates, it caused a large-scale stranding to achieve such brilliant results.
Originally, he thought Zhao Hao was just keeping the spoils here temporarily, but he didn't expect to give them to him directly. This hot potato is not delicious! Is it obvious that people in the world think that the battle in Han Jiangkou was done by His Lindao?
In fact, the sea lord has sent someone to break up with him, scolding him for being a hawk in the court and stabbing his brother in the back. Lin Daogan tried his best to argue.
Now that I'm sure it's a rumor that he's taking action. And after being certified by the governor, he can't be as strong as iron.
