When the Ming Dynasty was around, Bangtai was staring at Guangzhou in an anxious manner, Lin Chunhong took his concubine to live happily on the sea.

After half a year of construction, the Zhenyuan, Laiyuan and Zhiyuan ships were finally launched on October 18, the eighth year of Chongzhen, and began a two-month sea trial. Lin Chunhong wanted to experience the feeling of shaking waves with his own hands, so he boarded the ship to participate in the sea trial and pulled Cui Yuer.

Cui Yuer didn't want to go at first, but Lin Chunhong's words completely changed her mind: "You have never even taken the sea boat in the sea boat. What kind of development prospects can you have?"

Surprisingly, after Cui Yuer got on the boat, she did not vomit like Lin Chunhong, but showed amazing adaptability, as if she had grown up from a boat since childhood.

Lin Chunhong's face was pale, and pointed at Cui Yu'er, and said jealously: "In the last life, you must have been a pirate woman!"

Cui Yuer nodded with certainty and said, "Yes! But my uncle is a land duck!"

Lin Chunhong jumped up, hugged Cui Yuer in his arms, and scolded: "Is your master a land duck? I crossed the Yangtze River at the age of 12. When I was seventeen, I soaked in the Yangtze River for a day and night for a piece of wood. Can it be a land duck?"

Cui Yuer showed up in a delicate manner and said angrily: "I didn't marry you in my previous life! Why are you anxious?"

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "In the previous life, you can't escape my devil's claws in the next life!"

After saying that, he hugged Cui Yu'er and asked for fun.

Suddenly, Lin Chunhong stopped his hand movements, felt very strange, and said to Cui Yuer: "It's really strange. After fighting with you, it seems that it's not that uncomfortable!"

Cui Yuer wrapped around Lin Chunhong like a lip and murmured: "Third brother... Look, how comfortable it is to shake like this. You can't find this feeling on land..."

After some trouble, Lin Chunhong completely got rid of the initial discomfort and began to enjoy the temptation life of the lawless and earthless.

During the sea trial, Lin Chunhong found that the quality of the sailors of Zhenyuan, Laiyuan and Zhiyuan was not even worse than that of the Dingyuan ship. Putting aside the cooperation between the sailors, just from the perspective of sailing and steering technology, the speed and accuracy of the shelling, the three ships still need to go through long-term training and actual combat.

Lin Chunhong was quite worried at first, but considering that the Dingyuan ship had absorbed the essence of the entire Bangtai reserved for many years, he felt relieved. Isn’t it just training and actual combat? At worst, he could practice with the small fish and shrimps on the sea after the sea trial!

Lin Chunhong's ability to leave Guangzhou for two months with confidence is closely related to his long-term persistent institutional construction.

Unlike Jingzhou, Guangdong's organizational structure, personnel control, and industrial and commercial management all focus on the ocean. Lin Chunhong had no intention of taking fierce measures like Jingzhou in the hinterland of Guangdong. One reason was that the time was not ripe, and the other was that it was not effective. If it was forced to promote it, it would be a bad thing.

After establishing overseas designated trade offices in Guangzhou and Macau, Lin Chunhong successively set up designated trade offices in Huizhou, Chaozhou, Qiongzhou and Annan Jinpu, and dispatched capable personnel to manage them. From the beginning, the designated trade office was completely different from the warehouse, mainly in management and tax collection functions, and did not directly engage in profit-making.

The designated trading office is affiliated to the Maritime Department of the Zhongshufu. Given that Guangdong is too far from Jingzhou, the Maritime Department's office is currently located in Guangzhou and is directly under the jurisdiction of Lin Chunhong.

Military, Guangdong's troops were mainly divided into four divisions, one was the Dragon and Tiger Army. After the extermination of Liu Xiang, Lin Chunhong expanded the Dragon and Tiger Camp into the Dragon and Tiger Army, stationed on Changzhou Island, and deterred any evildoers in Guangdong; the second was the maritime anti-smuggling team, with Wutianhai as the captain, stationed on Hong Kong Island, patrolling the coast of Guangdong every day to crack down on smuggling; the third is the plundering fleet, with Suixi military port as the base, and the dragon was seen all day long but not at the tail; the fourth is the naval fleet, with Liang Feng as the naval admiral, stationed in Suixi, which is the core of Lin Chun's power on the sea.

These four parts of the forces are all affiliated with the Navy Department of the Governor's Office and are currently under direct jurisdiction of Lin Chunhong.

In addition, Bangtai Business and Supervision Office have established Maritime Affairs Departments to specialize in managing Guangdong-related affairs.

Lin Chunhong had long been planning to establish a Maritime Governor. In addition to the Maritime Department of the Supervision Office, he would take charge of all institutions in Guangdong. In this way, once Lin Chunhong left Guangdong, Guangdong would not lose its head and fall into chaos.

As for the candidate, no one except Zhang Zhao is currently competent.

When Lin Chunhong was planning on the sea, his subordinates on the shore were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and kept sending ships to search for the three ships participating in the sea trial. Fortunately, the three ships were not far from land, and finally found Lin Chunhong and sent the latest urgent report.

Lin Chunhong's intention to Qian Qianyi and Qu Shisi was as insightful as seeing the fire: it was nothing more than trying to force Wen Tiren to abdicate and completely control the government.

After all, later generations have been full of analysis and discussions of the Donglin Party members, and Lin Chunhong has heard of them from time to time, and is not unfamiliar with them. The reason why the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty lived a short life was that the Donglin Party members had an unshirkable responsibility. After King Fu took office, the Donglin Party members not only failed to completely abandon their past grudges, but also worked together with the gentry in the world to overcome difficulties, but instead kept poaching the walls. In the end, they became even more aggressive and tried their best to bewitch Zuo Liangyu to "clean the ruling side", causing immeasurable losses to the Han people.

At the beginning of the founding of the Donglin Party, it still had the intention of serving the country and the people, but after years of struggle and killing, the Donglin Party had completely deteriorated and became a freak within the Ming system. There were also many pillars of the country within the Donglin Party, such as Xu Guangqi and Hou Xun, who were all talented for a while, but this could not change the overall atmosphere of the Donglin Party.

Since its formation, the Donglin Party has always been tragic whether it is in power or killed. It is not someone else who has created the tragedy of the Donglin Party, but it is the political system of the Ming Dynasty!

The political system of the Ming Dynasty remained unchanged, and Fushe could not escape this fate in the end. Even the Xilin Party and the Beilin Party would appear in the future...

"God will destroy it, and he will be mad first!" Qu Shixi and Qian Qianyi sacrificed billions of lives to live in the people, and ignored the prospects of the Ming Dynasty, and only fought for power and profit. It would be impossible to say that Lin Chunhong was not angry.

"Sooner or later, the Donglin Party will be thrown into the garbage dump of history!" Lin Chunhong made up his mind secretly.

As for Zuo Liangyu's threat, Lin Chunhong ignored it at all. Lin Chunhong invested more than 3 million taels of silver in Xiangyang to repair the city defense and placed the Tiger Roar Army in Xiangyang. If such a city was captured by Zuo Liangyu, Lin Chunhong would simply find a straw to hang it. What else can we talk about looking for peace in all things?

Zuo Liangyu could not defeat Xiangyang or cross the Han River. The threat to Jingzhou and Yiling was minimal.

The key now is where the Bangtai should go, or where the Ming Dynasty and even the entire Han nation should go!

Lin Chunhong now has enough confidence to deal with the open and secret arrows of the imperial court, Jiangnan, Zheng Zhilong and other forces, and has enough strength to cause storms in the Ming Dynasty, completely changing the direction of history.

As for the bandits spread all over the north and the Jurchens entrenched in the northeast, Lin Chunhong believed that neither the court nor the local forces in the south of the Yangtze River, nor even Zheng Zhilong were able to deal with it, which was proven from history. To completely avoid the decline of the Han people, Bangtai would inevitably play a more critical role.

Should we continue to hide our strength and maintain a low profile? Or should we take advantage of the momentum and create a sunny road for the Han people?

Lin Chunhong sometimes frowned, sometimes bite the pen, and sometimes write and draw on paper, which made Cui Yuer frightened. She couldn't help but think, was the situation so serious that it made the third brother embarrassed?

She couldn't help looking at Lin Chunhong's desk and suddenly found that the words Henan, Sichuan and other words were written on the paper in a mess. An arrow was drawn from Sichuan, pointing to the three words Qin Liangyu.

Cui Yuer was shocked. What does Zuo Liangyu attacked Xiangyang have to do with Qin Liangyu? She asked in disbelief: "The third brother is preparing to attack Shizhu?"

Lin Chunhong was stunned and asked blankly: "What attacks the stone pillar?"

Cui Yuer pointed to the arrow and asked, "Is this crossbow arrow shot at Qin Zhuguo?"

Lin Chunhong laughed silently, "I just doodle it, you really know how to associate it... This arrow means that if we want to occupy Sichuan, we will face Qin Liangyu's tens of thousands of battles!"

After saying that, Lin Chunhong fell into deep thought again and murmured: "Are you going to Henan to suppress bandits, or directly occupy Sichuan..."

Indeed, Lin Chunhong is not ready to continue to lie dormant!

At present, the scope of activities of the bandits is becoming more and more wide, and it has been rioting to Nanzhili. The movement of bandits and the destruction of social and economics is disastrous. In the long run, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be full of bandits everywhere.

Moreover, the bandits are becoming increasingly powerful, and Lin Chunhong dares not promise to completely eliminate the bandits. Once the battle to suppress the bandits is protracted, Bangtai is restrained by the bandits. How to deal with the invading Jurchens?

Lin Chunhong decided not to wait for the imperial court orders step by step, but went directly to Jingzhou and sounded the horn of attacking the bandits. However, Lin Chunhong was still hesitating whether to attack the bandits after occupying Sichuan or go north to suppress the bandits.

The two strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages. They occupy the population that Bangtai can control and the territory will be greatly expanded. Bangtai will gain a huge rear, and the strategic depth will be expanded, and the benefits will be self-evident. However, this move will completely anger the court and the consequences will be unpredictable.

Although the court will be dissatisfied with Bangtai's disobedience to the command of the bandits, the two sides still have room to maneuver in order to suppress the bandits, and will not break completely. The disadvantages are also obvious. Bangtai will have to rely on the power of the three prefectures to support the war, which may be very difficult.

Lin Chunhong thought about it and felt that he could not have a complete quarrel with the court at the moment. After the quarrel, the talents that Bangtai had worked hard for many years were likely to leave and he had to divide his troops to guard against the court's attack.

In addition, Bangtai's income and expenditure situation will deteriorate sharply. The court only needs an edict to prohibit bills from being circulated in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, causing immeasurable losses to Bangtai. This move will also ruin the reputation of bills. If you want to return to your old business, you don't know how difficult it will be.

The most important thing is that after the fall, whether the army can follow Lin Chunhong wholeheartedly is still a big question. The Ming Dynasty court is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Lin Chunhong is temporarily unable to challenge it.
