Lin Chunhong never expected that before he arrived in Jingzhou, Lu Xiangsheng was already waiting in Jingzhou. Lin Chunhong could guess Lu Xiangsheng's plan. Lu Xiangsheng had no intention of taking fierce measures against Bangtai and came to Jingzhou, just to advise him not to act rashly and to inquire about his next plan.

Lin Chunhong complained secretly: "No one works overtime when he just came back from a business trip! I am also going to run to Zhijiang to see my son!"

Zhou Feng successfully gave birth to a son in August, and the mother and son were safe, which made Lin Chunhong ecstatic. This time, he rushed back to Jingzhou from Guangzhou to rush back to Jingzhou. It is hard to say that he didn't have the intention to look at his son.

Moreover, after Lin Chunhong discovered that the news of his son's birth spread throughout Jingzhou and Guangdong, all subordinates from Zhang Daohan were very happy. Zhang Daohan also ordered a grand celebration, singing and dancing in Bangtai for ten days, and officials and people were having fun together.

Are you mistaken? My son is mine? Why are you so happy that you have a son like yourself?

However, Yang Yiren's words pointed out the key point: "Congratulations to the military gate, congratulations, there are successors to the military gate, Bangtai is relieved..."

This incident made Lin Chunhongfu think a lot. The little bastard helped his father very much as he was born. Could it be that Bangtai already had the intention of being independent?

Let’s stop talking, and after Lin Chunhong arrived in Jingzhou, he immediately went to the restaurant to pay homage to Lu Xiangsheng and welcomed Lu Xiangsheng into Xinggong Tower.

Except for being more vicissitudes than in previous years, Lu Xiangsheng had nothing special. After the two of them had finished their greetings, Lu Xiangsheng did not be polite to Lin Chunhong, and immediately said coldly: "You are a promising! The court has given you the important task of protecting the seas, but you returned to Jingzhou quietly, but why?"

Lin Chunhong did not respond to Lu Xiangsheng's question and asked: "The subordinates have always had a problem that cannot be understood. I hope the Governor will help his subordinates solve their doubts. Since the chaos in Shaanxi in the second year of Chongzhen, the imperial court has consumed countless food and wages, and countless soldiers have been killed and injured. Why are the bandits more and more? If this continues, can we still wipe out the bandits?"

Lin Chunhong tried to take the initiative in the conversation from the beginning and let Lu Xiangsheng follow his thoughts.

Sure enough, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but start thinking about Lin Chunhong's problems and easily fell into Lin Chunhong's trap.

Lin Chunhong took advantage of the victory and then raised a question: "The bandits were destroyed and then started, and they were destroyed. In this cycle, the bandits became increasingly powerful. Did the court not realize that something was wrong with the strategy? Or, does the court have a complete set of strategies to cooperate with the bandit suppression?"

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said, "You are right. The court is swaying between suppressing and pacifying. There is no set of certain strategies, and there is no right or wrong!"

Lin Chunhong would never give Lu Xiangsheng any initiative, and then said: "Suppression and appeasement are not the key to the problem. The key is whether the court has a strategy to calm the people!"

"Safeguarding the people? It's nothing more than money and food! The court's income is not enough, so how can there be money and food to help the people!"

"If you don't have money and food, you can find a way to raise money and food! The imperial court officials, apart from repeatedly increasing taxes, could not think of any other tricks? At the beginning of this year, the emperor strongly promoted the minting of coins. Now the monthly profit is not more than 100,000 taels of silver? Later, his subordinates proposed to make dried fish, which not only can make profits, but also fill the stomach. For some reason, the court has not made any movement yet!"

How could Lu Xiangsheng not know the dispute between the monarch and minister behind the dried fish? But how could he say this to Lin Chunhong? He had to pretend to be confused: "The court's decision is very involved, and it cannot be decided in a short while..."

This sentence was weak and powerless. In the end, Lu Xiangsheng felt embarrassed and his voice became lower and lower.

Lin Chunhong sneered: "The court's officials only focus on party struggles, ignore the court, and ignore the people! Since the court's officials cannot seek welfare for the people, they cannot say that they have to go beyond their authority and take action personally!"

Lin Chunhong said this in a vague way. Lu Xiangsheng was shocked and thought, what does Lin Chunhong mean? Does he mean that he made dried fish in Guangdong, or does it imply that he covets the power of zhong yang?

Lu Xiangsheng's loyalty and righteousness are the first, how can Lin Chunhong have even a trace of thought of rebellion? Lu Xiangsheng immediately said seriously: "You can attack the thief and dismount the horse to govern the people. Although you have suspicion of transcendence, the emperor has a wise ruler who can tolerate it. Once you have any improper thoughts, the emperor will be angry and hiding millions of corpses, which may not be able to bear it! Moreover, there are hundreds of millions of loyal and righteous people in the world, and you will never let you do anything arbitrarily!"

Lu Xiangsheng became more and more excited as he spoke. He slapped his palm on the tea table, and the teacup on the tea table jingled. Lu Xiangsheng said sternly: "If you cannot serve the emperor, I swear to kill him!"

Lu Xiangsheng's hair and hair are all wide, and his elegance cannot be found, but only decisiveness and stubbornness remain.

Lin Chunhong didn't care about Lu Xiangsheng's fierce reaction, and smiled slightly, saying, "The Governor is joking! My subordinates returned to Jingzhou this time to attack the thief!"

Lu Xiangsheng stared at Lin Chunhong with his eyes, as if he wanted to see the truth or falsehood of Lin Chunhong's words.

Lin Chunhong continued: "In fact, the Governor General is too worried. There are no bandits in Jingzhou, so why bother to come to Jingzhou to find out what's going on?"

Lu Xiangsheng sneered: "According to Jianghan as the basis and Sichuan as the basis, who made the crazy words?"

"How can you take it seriously when you are young? When the Governor was young, did you not have the ambition to support the inner world?" Lin Chunhonghun did not take it seriously, nor was he willing to continue to get involved with Lu Xiangsheng. He said: "The bandits in the northwest have many cavalry and are quick to act. In history, they can only use cavalry against cavalry. The subordinates' good horses are scarce. If they win, they cannot be destroyed. If they lose, they will never be able to recover. I feel dead. I want to use muskets to fight against cavalry. I don't know if it is feasible. I also ask the Governor to help my subordinates discuss it..."

After saying that, Lin Chunhong ordered his subordinates to take a musket and hand it over to Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng took it and looked at it. He found that the musket was four feet long, with a diameter of about half an inch, with a gate and a sight on the barrel. There was also a cold bayonet fixed on the tip of the barrel.

"Flintlock, no fuse is needed, and you can continue to fight even if it rains..."

Lin Chunhong said as he took the musket from Lu Xiangsheng's hand, picked up a paper tube, which was covered with animal grease, bit the butt of the paper tube with his teeth, poured the gunpowder into the medicine pool, then stuffed the paper tube into the barrel, pressed it into the bottom with a poke bar, and then put the musket against his shoulder, simulated aiming, and handed the musket to Lu Xiangsheng again.

"Historically, muskets have slow firing speed and not long firing range. When facing crossbows, they are at a disadvantage. The craftsmen packed projectiles and gunpowder together, and used grease wire to seal the barrel. The firing speed and range are greatly improved, which is suitable for fighting against cavalry!"

Lu Xiangsheng touched left and right, and was very curious. He instinctively felt that this musket was not a little stronger than the muskets in his army.

"I'm afraid it's not OK to fight against the cavalry? At most one shot in the battle, the cavalry rushed to the front of the formation and could only be beaten passively!"

"No, there are three shots in the last battle." After saying that, Lin Chunhong took out his pen, ink, paper and ink, and drew three rows of small dots on the paper. "Let's go up one after another, and after the first row of * shoots, retreat to the back and load the projectile..."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "The Duke of Qian also used this trick back then. The damage to the cavalry was increased, but he was not sure to fight against the cavalry."

Lin Chunhong said: "Governor General, please tell me clearly. Is it easy to train a cavalry or a musketeer?"

Lu Xiangsheng realized that Lin Chunhong was trying to consume!

Lin Chunhong continued: "A musketeer can go to the battlefield after training for up to three months. On the battlefield, as long as he can kill a cavalry, he will make a lot of money!"

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly realized that Lin Chunhong's target was not the bandits, but the Jurchens or Mongols! The reason why he used muskets to fight against bandits was nothing more than trying to find experience!

Lu Xiangsheng said: "It's so calculating. I think the Jurchens have a population of more than two million, and I, the billions of people in the Ming Dynasty, will be exhausted even if they are consumed!"

Lin Chunhong sighed and said, "This is the reason, but I am afraid that the court will be in a dilemma if the enemy cooperates!"

"What are you talking about is the collusion between the bandits and the Jurchens? This is probably a worry. The bandits are in the heart of the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens live in Liaodong. How can they say that they collude?"

"The bandits are short-sighted, so it's better not to talk about it. The head of the Jurchen chief Huang Taiji is a powerful character. Although he lives in Liaodong, he knows the situation of the Ming Dynasty. The Governor-General Ming Jie, at the end of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the bandits were surrounded on the north bank of the Yellow River. Seeing that they were about to be wiped out, the Jurchens announced that they would attack Datong. The emperor had no choice but to transfer General Cao to Datong to guard, which made the bandits break through the Yellow River and become increasingly out of control. If Huang Taiji did not do it on purpose, he would not believe anything. The subordinates dared to promise that once the bandits were about to be destroyed, Huang Taiji would definitely lead his troops south!"

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt palpitations. His opponent's vision was so long, but the court was confused. If Lin Chunhong hadn't analyzed it, he would have been in the dark! The strategic situation of the Ming Dynasty was too dangerous, what could he do?

Lin Chunhong suddenly stood up and bowed to Lu Xiangsheng, "The Governor is the pillar of the country. Please cherish your life for the country. Do not act irresponsibly and ignore your family and life!"

Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled, and didn't know why Lin Chunhong emphasized this, and replied casually: "The pillar of the country is really ridiculous. I am just a governor who is the court and the emperor."

Lin Chunhong said again: "In the future, when the Jingzhou army eliminates the bandits, we hope that the Governor will coordinate with each other. Before completely destroying the bandits, we must not let the Jingzhou army abandon the bandits and go north to fight against the Jurchens!"

After pausing, Lin Chunhong sneered: "As the saying goes, we must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries. After the bandits are resolved, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jingzhou army will be together with the Jurchens until death!"

Lu Xiangsheng was completely stunned. He had seen a few days of quick visits. He deeply realized Lin Chunhong's love for the people and his concern for the country. Will such a person buy this land and civilization for his own benefit?
