Chapter 224 East Shi Xiao frown
After Liu Xiang's destruction, Guangdong was like a source of earthquake, shaking the Ming Dynasty.
As the source of earthquake, Guangdong was the first to be hit, from Xiong Wencan, Guangdong Sansiyamen, Guangdong Maritime Warehouse, and even Yaxing stared at Lin Chunhong in astonishment.
Especially Yaxing, he was so shocked that he completely forgot to fight back.
Why did Yaxing react so violently? This matter has to start with Taizu.
The fate of the Maritime Warrior Office in the Ming Dynasty was quite miserable. It opened and closed. Only the Guangdong Maritime Warrior Office was the only one who was in power and had never been imprisoned. Since the 27th year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli has set up tax supervisors everywhere, and the Guangdong Maritime Warrior Office is no exception. Therefore, the Guangdong Maritime Warrior Office completely took over the right to collect the Maritime Warrior Office from the local government. However, the Maritime Warrior Office was embezzled by Yashang, "the customs declaration and taxpayers are only two or three", "all ten are taken away by one ten, and they can be obtained by sitting there without any effort to write a punishment and stick."
In other words, Lin Chunhong stipulates that the payment of management fees for overseas trade targeted transactions is essentially embezzling the interests of the Yakushu!
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. How can Ya Xing sit and wait for death?
Although Yaxing is a non-governmental organization, it has close ties with the Governor's Office, Maritime Department and the Guangdong Three Departments. Yaxing first found Xiong Wencan, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Xiong Wencan was trying to repair his relationship with Lin Chunhong, and attempting to get a piece of the pie from the designated trade. He kept complaining about Yaxing's blood and tears and kept clamoring to avoid key issues.
The Yashang had no choice but to find the Maritime Trading Department. The Maritime Trading Department had already obtained Lin Chunhong's guarantee that the market tax should be paid was a lot, and a group of officials were also captured by Lin Chunhong's money offensive. The Maritime Trading Department not only ignored this matter, but also threatened to investigate the embezzlement of the Maritime Trading Department. The representatives of the Yashang quickly left the Maritime Trading Department.
Ya Xing had no choice but to find Lin Chunhong's military supervisor Chen Kui.
How could Chen Kui pay attention to this matter? He claimed that he only supervised the military and would never dare to get involved in it.
The leader of Yaxing completely collapsed and wanted to cry without tears. He had to contact some officials from the Guangdong Sansi to submit a memorial to the court, saying that Lin Chunhong's guilt was very important. Such buzzing sounds were irrelevant, and it was probably impossible to stir up a slight wave.
Yashu is in action, how could Lin Chunhong watch? Lin Chunhong used various means to coerce and induce the staff of Yashu. In less than a month, Yashu people joined Lin Chunhong and officially became the broker in the dock warehouse. They still returned to their old business, but had a lot of power.
Since then, the Thirty-Six Circles have reached the verge of disbandment. Half a year later, the Thirty-Six Circles have become historical terms and are completely annihilated in the dust of history. This is a later story, so I won’t mention it for now.
Immediately after the Guangdong Dental Tour, Zheng Zhilong, who was shocked, was sitting and lying in Anping.
Lin Chunhong led Liu Xiang in the battle. Zheng Zhilong was indeed a little surprised, but he had no other reaction except to scold Liu Xiang for being incompetent.
After the Changzhou Shipbuilding Workshop was sent back to Anping by eyeliner, Zheng Zhilong began to feel a little restless, but Lin Chunhong had not been able to get enough artillery to comfort himself.
Lin Chunhong summoned the world's maritime merchants to discuss maritime affairs. Zheng Zhilong ignored it at all. He only sent three maritime merchants to Guangzhou to inquire about the news. He advocated strength and felt that nothing was supported by strength, just flowers in the mirror and moon in the water.
However, after the details of the maritime business conference were sent back to Anping, not only Zheng Zhilong was in extreme anxiety, but even his subordinates began to unable to sit still and gathered in Anping Zheng Mansion to discuss countermeasures.
Zheng Zhilong's command is full of talents. Needless to mention Zheng Cai, Zheng Ming, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Xing, Shi Daxuan and others, just look at the members of the Zheng family, and they are also prosperous and can stand alone, such as Zhihu, Zhibao, and Zhifeng. They are all outstanding.
Zheng Zhihu is a powerful general. He likes bravery and harsh temperament. Seeing everyone gathering together, he immediately howled in his loud voice: "Lin Xiaosan stipulates that those who hang the Bangtai Ling Banner will be protected by him. What if one day a ship flying the Bangtai Ling Banner passes through the East China Sea and is unwilling to pay the bill fee, what should we do? Should we charge it forcibly or release it?"
Although Zheng Zhihu was impatient, his knowledge was still extraordinary, and he expressed Lin Chunhong's sinister intentions in one sentence.
Shi Daxuan also shouted loudly: "If you let go, losing three thousand taels of silver is a trivial matter, but where will we put our faces? Wouldn't it be ridiculed by the little ones? If you don't let go, will you really start a war with Lin Chunhong?"
Zheng Zhihu shouted, "The war starts when it starts, and I just take advantage of the opportunity to destroy his mother! I have long disliked this little guy! Nainai..."
Everyone clamored, and those who were impatient began to ask Zheng Zhilong for a fight. Only Zheng Cai and Shi Daxuan remained silent and looked at Zheng Zhilong with a worried look.
Zheng Cai has always put maritime trade first. He values harmony and wealth, and is not very interested in starting a war. Shi Daxuan is good at naval battles, and he is worried that he can't beat it!
Zheng Zhilong frowned. Seeing Zheng Cai and Shi Daxuan silent, his brows stretched slightly, and pointed at Shi Daxuan and asked, "Shi Daxuan, what do you think?"
Shi Daxuan bowed and replied respectfully: "If Lin Chunhong is not stupid enough, his subordinates are worried that they will not be able to beat him!"
A sentence caused an uproar, and everyone shouted and cursed: "Lin Xiaosan only has 400 ships and only 30,000 people. Even if I consume it, I will use it to death. Shi Daxuan, what is your purpose to increase the prestige of others and destroy your ambition?"
Shi Daxuan looked arrogant and looked at everyone with a provocative look, without saying a word. Shi Daxuan usually relies on his outstanding ability and does not take everyone seriously, and has a very poor popularity. Now everyone can't stand Shi Daxuan's arrogance, so they scolded him.
Zheng Zhilong knew Shi Daxuan's ability well and shouted: "Stop talking, Shi Daxuan, continue talking!"
Shi Daxuan looked at everyone with contempt and continued: "In terms of the power of the long-distance sea, Lin Xiaosan is comparable to us. Once the three-deck battleship is launched, we will be out of reach!"
Zheng Zhihu was about to open his mouth, but was scared by Zheng Zhilong's eyes and swallowed his throat, with a strange expression.
Shi Daxuan continued: "In the near sea, it is our world. Judging from the Battle of Suixi, Lin Chunhong is not an amateur in naval warfare, and Zhao Hehai is not an easy person to experience naval warfare. Therefore, the subordinates judge that once the war begins, Lin Xiaosan will definitely give full play to his far-sea advantage!"
Now, Zheng Zhihu finally couldn't hold it in and shouted: "Yes, let's block Lin Chunhong in the near sea and annihilate it in one fell swoop, just like in Liaoluo Bay!"
Without waiting for Shi Daxuan to refute, Zheng Zhilong opened his mouth and cursed: "Childish! Lin Chunhongba cannot let us fight in the nearshore area, so he can justify the declaration that we are rebels and launch an army to attack!"
"War as soon as we fight, we are still afraid of them? The sea is our world, how can we let others get involved?"
The noise was rampant, and everyone was angry. I didn't know how the wise leader in their eyes was afraid of wolves and tigers, and I couldn't let go of it at all.
Zheng Zhilong's face kept beating, obviously trying hard to suppress his anger. Everyone had been following Zheng Zhilong for a long time. Knowing that Zheng Zhilong was on the verge of a rampage, they stopped making noise and slowly calmed down.
Zheng Zhilong said coldly: "We are not afraid of anyone at sea, but once Lin Chunhong is ordered by the court to attack us, where can we get our food? How can we deal with Lin Chunhong attack the coast of Fujian from land?"
Everyone suddenly realized and felt cold. The hall was quiet, and everyone scolded Lin Chunhong in their hearts: "This guy is vicious!"
Indeed, the situation was indeed not good for Zheng Zhilong. It could not be defeated in the distant seas. Once the near seas were fought, it would be regarded as a rebel by the court and would inevitably mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress them. Lin Chunhong must have become the vanguard. According to this guy's previous methods, he would probably play blockades, temptations, and sneak attacks on land. The entire Zheng group would immediately fall into a situation of being attacked from both sides.
What to do? Do you really have to give up collecting the order fee? This is the foundation for the development and growth of the Zheng Group!
Zheng Zhilong was very upset. If he had known this, it would be better to join forces with Liu Xiang and take advantage of Lin Chunhong's foothold to completely eat Lin Chunhong. Lin Chunhong acted quickly and made accurate strategic judgments, and he suddenly pinched his fatal hole, leaving him at a loss.
Zheng Cai was silent all the time, but he kept thinking about countermeasures in his heart. He silently put his plans in his heart several times to make sure there was no problem. He said to Zheng Zhilong carefully: "Master, it's better not to charge Lin Chunhong's order fee for the time being..."
As soon as Zheng Cai's words emerged, Zheng Zhihu interrupted him and shouted: "Why wouldn't you push all the maritime merchants to Lin Chunhong?"
"Yes, yes, in this way, all the maritime merchants have gone to Guangdong. We are just not alive, so we can just disband!" Everyone agreed.
Zheng Cai's face was flushed, and he looked at Zheng Zhilong with a look of help, saying, "Master..."
Zheng Zhilong waved impatiently: "Let him finish!"
Everyone stopped sarcasm, and Zheng Cai took the opportunity to say: "Let's just learn from Lin Chunhong and form a maritime insurance organization to protect the insured maritime merchants without charging the flag fee. My subordinates have done some research on maritime insurance and think that the profits of investing in insurance are even higher than the charges for the flag fee!"
Yang Genglai and Zheng Cai were always disagreeing, and immediately said sarcastically: "Chue Yu, the boss of Sany Society, is your woman. It seems that you couple have thought of going together..."
Zheng Cai's face turned purple and he hugged Zheng Zhilong and said, "I'm just talking about the matter."
Zheng Zhilong glared at Yang Geng fiercely, his face full of displeasure. Yang Geng was so scared that he dared not speak again.
Zheng Cai continued: "In addition to maritime insurance, we have also established trade points along the coast of Fujian and extracted 20% of the management fees. In this way, the income will not only not decrease, but will increase significantly!"
Zheng Cai’s statement only has one meaning: we will do whatever Lin Chunhong is doing, and we must learn it thoroughly! This also shows that Zheng Cai believes from the bottom of his heart that Lin Chunhong’s approach is clever.
