Chapter 694 The Whereabouts of the Pirates
Although Hao Jing has a good Portuguese knowledge and various wealthy merchants also have a good Portuguese businessman, he is someone else's person, and Wang Fulin would not consider Huang Tianren's accomplice who is a mother who has milk as a translator, so he decided to train himself.
After all, according to some statement I heard in the past, in a strange context, if people with strong learning ability do not consider reading and writing, they can communicate in advance within three months and deal with most exchange occasions within one year. As for reading and writing, they need to be deeply cultivated. Therefore, he knew that the Catholic Jesus would be committed to preaching in China, hoping that Catholicism would be localized, and that locals would accept foreign things. Based on this, he believed that Jia Nailau would definitely agree that this would be a mutual benefit.
Of course, he deliberately did not use the word "Fronji" but used Portugal, and also wanted to see how much trust Jia Nailau had in the sent Father Francis. When he had instilled so many translations in Jia Nailau, even if the bishop of Macau was hiding and not telling others, he would at least tell his trusted confidant.
Sure enough, Father Francis reacted very quickly. He did not understand anything and directly put the tea cup that had been quietly looking at and couldn't put down the lovely tea cup next to him. Then he stood up suddenly and drew a cross on his chest with a serious cross: "May God bless you. Lord Wang, I can answer the matter you said without asking the Bishop's opinion. St. Paul's Monastery is very willing to accept students recommended by Lord Wang, and we hope that these students can become friends with our missionaries and teach our missionaries your language."
"Since that's the case, it seems that this is a mutually beneficial thing, so that's it." Wang Fulin nodded with a smile, thinking that he would go back to Lianxi Academy and ask Wang Ji to discuss the candidates for the trainees. Although he was not sure that Wang Ji would definitely support him. However, for him, who has more than one order of magnitude higher than the current people, it is still very likely to convince Wang Ji. If a gentleman Longxi personally endorses his letter, he will choose someone and have much less resistance.
Father Francis probably regarded the matter that Wang Fulin had just proposed as a great kindness. He originally planned to go around in circles and then put forward his true purpose for this trip. At this time, he immediately said bluntly: "Dear Lord Wang, as a clergy, of course, the Bishop lets you, the official, take charge of the transaction issues in Macau, but he hopes to ensure the safety of the Portuguese in Macau. According to the news received by the Bishop, Lin Daoqian, who once robbed ships and killed countless people on the coast of Guangdong, has returned. There is also Lin Afeng who has defeated him. He is still operating along the coast of Guangdong and Fujian now!"
Lu Guangwu and Zheng Mingxian brought this news, and the girl who claimed to be Xiuzhu also brought this news. Now even the Portuguese have repeatedly emphasized this news. Even Wang Fulin had previously joked to Xiaobei that he did not plan to meddle in other people's business and crossed the local officials to consider how to catch Lin Daoqian, at this moment he had to take this matter into consideration. But what he knew more was that when the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ling Yunyi had already arranged the deployment of the Yao people to crack down on Luobangshan uprising, it was unrealistic to expect the Guangdong General Office to distribute personnel, because if you are not careful, you will face the danger of fighting on both sides.
Seeing that Wang Fulin's face was normal, Father Francis thought that Wang Fulin didn't know Erlin's reputation. So he deliberately explained it more. Between the lines, they described the two as pirate leaders who were murderous and robbed. However, to his disappointment, Wang Fulin still maintained a neither salty nor light face, and asked lightly: "What is Bishop Jia's suggestion for this?"
"His bishop said that if the government needs it, he is willing to persuade the Portuguese in Macau to fight again."
Wang Fulin remembered that when he was checking documents at the Governor General Office in Guangdong and Guangxi, he saw that the Portuguese fought against the Chaozhou Zhelin sailors who had suppressed the rebellion. In the end, the imperial court exempted the Portuguese from the annual taxes, and the Portuguese were not very satisfied with this. From this, it can be seen that the price of borrowing soldiers. Speaking of which, the Ming army had already become a common thing. Not to mention places like high and far away in Guangdong, even Nanjing had such a thing. However, the last time the Zhelin sailors failed to make money, they simply led pirates to invade, and he also rebelled. It really made the matter a big deal. However, the imperial court owed officials and generals and soldiers all day long. What is this?
"Please go back and tell Bishop Jia, not to mention whether the news about these pirates is true. I, the Ming Dynasty, have many troops, and the government has enough power to annihilate him so that he doesn't have to worry about it."
Regarding the combat power of the Ming army, the Portuguese in Haojing have always been polarized and have different views.
Some people think that the last time the suppression of hundreds of Chaozhou Fuzhelin naval troops was a bit difficult, and they were required to act as a restraining force at sea, which means that this great power was just glamorous. What's more, the Portuguese defeated several times before, but they were all defeated by those small boats. The huge country of the Ming Dynasty could not even be built. However, some people represented by Jia Nailou believed that the naval battle was the dominant Portuguese, but the Ming Dynasty was vast and powerful. The failure of those Japanese pirates was the lesson of the past. Once the war started, they would die, and you would not be trapped in such a big country at all. Since the Ming Dynasty had opened its doors, they could buy porcelain from China and be able to trade. Instead of continuing to consume power, it would be better to maintain the original state and gradually erode.
The latter view now has the upper hand, so this time Francis came to match the two sides through the name of the church, so that the Portuguese could obtain preferential treatment in trade by sending troops. After all, this was a precedent. It seems that Wang Fulin, an official of the Ming Dynasty, did not have much prejudice against the Portuguese. However, this proposal was rejected, which made him a little annoyed.
At this time, Master Cai, who was always very conscious of accompanying guests and never spoke, saw that Wang Fulin's attitude was very firm. Thinking of Gu Jing's instructions when he came, he immediately said, "Mr. Wang is right, just a pirate. I have the power to calm down. I don't have to take action."
Francis was a little disappointed and could only settle for the second best, hoping to achieve another purpose of this visit: "So, can Lord Wang allow me to stay in Guangzhou for a few more days? I have always admired the prosperity and wealth of the country in ****, and I have heard many businessmen talk about the magnificence of Guangzhou City. So..."
"I'm sorry, Father Francis." Wang Fulin smiled, but he still refused. "It was because of Haojing. That is, a vicious case in Macau has just happened, so you went to Xiangshan County Government to see Gu County Magistrate, and Gu County Magistrate asked Master Cai to take you to Guangzhou City, and I also met you. However, you do not have a registered residence in our country and are not a national, so you cannot continue to stay in Guangzhou City. Of course, I will report to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ling Jiantai. I will implement a convenient road guide system for the visa of the barbarians as soon as possible. Perhaps in the near future, as long as the Portuguese who is law-abiding in Haojing, you can enter Guangzhou through the guarantee of the guarantee of the guarantee of the guarantee, and with the accompanying of the tour guide and specific persons, you can travel on the land of Guangzhou City.
Visa road guide? Guarantee guarantee? Ten people group? Tour guide? What are these?
That is, Chen Bingchang followed Wang Fulin for a long time, and Master Cai asked Gu Jing to understand the meaning. Father Francis really did not understand. However, although Wang Fulin rejected himself, he was willing to make a little hole for the Portuguese to enter Guangzhou, he still understood. He tempted it again and found that it was impossible to reverse Wang Fulin's intentions. The priest, who also came from the Jesuit, could only say goodbye, and Wang Fulin first asked Chen Bingchang to take the people out, and then he gave Mr. Cai the opportunity in person.
"After you go back, you told the Magistrate Gu that he would draft a statement, and ask the Board of Directors to manage the Portuguese in Haojing in different categories according to their length of residence, transaction integrity, no criminal record, etc. Every year, a certain number of places will be given to the Portuguese who are law-abiding in the public so that they can leave the Lotus Stem Gate and enter Guangzhou. Stay between three and five days. Of course, they are not allowed to move alone. If they stay within the deadline, they will be deported in the future and will never enter our country..."
Wang Fulin introduced the visa system for foreigners in the future with the strictest terms. Mr. Cai nodded immediately after the initial unknown, but he didn't understand what was going on. He didn't understand what was going on? Someone in the Guangdong Censor supported him. Even if he could ask for this kind of thing himself, he turned a corner and instructed his own boss. Isn't it just to give Gu Jing a chance to show his face? Of course, Mr. Cai also knew the opportunity and risks were also accompanied by Gu Jing's attitude was already very obvious. Anyway, this county magistrate would probably be converted into a promising assistant official afterwards. Why not try it?
"Don't worry, Master Wang, the student will definitely inform Dongwen after he returns, and Dongwen will definitely live up to his entrustion!"
"In addition, let your county magistrate write a copy to the prefect Pang of Guangzhou, and explain the reason why Father Francis came to Guangzhou. Now the document I want to post is also rewarded to Prefect Pang for advice. Don't forget that Prefect Pang is the direct superior. If you don't go beyond Prefect Pang in everything, please report it early and late. In this way, Prefect Pang will block the pressure of the governor for him. Otherwise, what's the use of just saying good things about him? You must not throw away your superiors. Otherwise, it's not easy to pick his mistakes just because of the gap in grades between the seventh and fourth ranks?"
"Yes, yes." Master Cai was sweating profusely and thought that his master should help the boss to keep this kind of guard, but Wang Fulin reminded him, and when he told him something else, his vest was completely wet when he said goodbye. First, the weather was too hot, and secondly, he was shocked to find that this young inspector was not like a fledgling in the officialdom. He was even more clear in many abilities of the county government than his master. If someone had changed with Gu Jing, he would probably not even have to ask for a master and would have to clean up his lower body!
I had a hard nail in the procuratorate before. Officials like Guangzhou Prefect Pang and Nanhai County Magistrate Zhao Haitao, who were basically silent, were of course relaxed, but the other people who were facing each other at that time were not so lucky. Among them, Zhang Tingfang and Chen Youjie, the left-hand governor of the General Secretary, did not know how many letters they sent to Zhang Siwei, the third assistant to the cabinet, but if you really want to say how afraid of Wang Fulin is, it is impossible to say.
After all, they were the lords of a province. Even if they offended Wang Fulin, the Ming Dynasty had been established for more than two hundred years. How many inspectors could have brought down high-ranking officials like the governor? On the contrary, the inspectors offended local officials and were in disgrace in the end. Therefore, these two people not only felt as stable as Mount Tai, but also had the strength to secretly make some other things.
Zhou Kang, the great master of the school, thought that he was taking the path of the prime minister. Even if he lost a lot last time in a verbal battle, he didn't think that Wang Fulin could do anything to him. However, Cai Tiju of the Maritime Department, who was qualified to be the chief of the Maritime Department, found that it was likely that the old official who had a slim future would know that it was a clay Buddha crossing the river and he could not protect himself. Since Wang Fulin took out the court's scriptures like a magic trick and blocked the other people's mouths, he began to panic that he would be moved away like an obstacle to block the road, so he tried his best to find out the news from the General Secretary.
With his current situation, except for the governor who was not in dealing with Wang Fulin, he couldn't think of anyone who would send him any news. Fortunately, the money was sent out, and a steady stream of news also came.
For example, Wang Fulin from the procuratorate sent someone to the Guangdong-Guangdong Governor's Office in Zhaoqing Prefecture. It is said that it is very good news.
For example, after being tripped by the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ling Yunyi, the deputy envoy of the Haidao, was left silent because of the reaction of the court.
For example, a fisherman in Xin'an County disappeared at sea. Two bodies floated back after several days, but the boat disappeared. It was obvious that the body was injured by a knife, and two people were still missing. It is said that the giant thief Lin Dao, Qianlin, Afeng and others of Chaozhou Prefecture had signs of sneaking back. It is likely that these pirates were doing it.
There are a lot of pieces of news like this. Cai Tiju didn't know how much hair he pulled off, but he couldn't find hope to pull himself out of the quagmire. Because last time he was in the procuratorate, Yang De, deputy inspector of the Maritime Conservatory and Wu Youwang, deputy inspector of the Haojing Inspection Department, was named directly by Wang Fulin. Yang De, deputy recruited Yang De, was lucky to have been included in the legendary impeachment memorial because of his rank of more than seventh rank. Even Wu Youwang, a small official from the ninth rank, also made a note.
For this reason, Wu Youwang's family was dying and went to the hospital to seek medical treatment directly and gave him a very generous gift. Cai Tiju wanted to accept it, but he had had two dealings with Wu Youwang, and he knew that such a guy could become an official was completely blind, and his wife and children were even more rotating. If he ignored him, he would definitely be praised for his storm in the city.
So, at this moment, even if he was impatient, he had to comfort Wu Youwang's wife and son. But seeing that the two of them were quite ungrateful and wanted him to speak nonsense, he suddenly felt a move in his heart and came up with a wonderful idea.
Now that things have come, I can't say that I can't keep my position. Since that's the case, why not take advantage of one of the news and this mother and son to take revenge first?
Yes, this is a good idea!
Thinking of this, Cai Tiju smiled and said to Wu Youwang's wife and son: "Brother-in-law, nephew, I know your suffering. It's a pity that the governor Wang is quite tough now. I haven't fought before, but he has been in a mess in his hands. Even this person is almost unable to be saved. To be honest, I have an idea, but I don't have that way..."
He casually told the Xin'an incident, and described it as the danger of pirates appearing, implying that if Wang Fulin investigated, they might be able to avenge a single arrow. But this was the Governor Ling Yunyi of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he would not have the ability to influence those big names.
When the mother and son left with something, he immediately found the brother-in-law he brought to the office, and almost put it on his ear. He thought his brother-in-law might be timid and unwilling to do it, but he didn't expect the idle boy to slap his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, you finally got to know him this time. Being an official depends on being ruthless! I will give the mother and son an idea to let them go to the Zhou Tixue path. This great master of Tixue must think that Wang Fulin should not get in the way before his eyes. As long as he talks about the greedy chief aide of Ling Jiantai, why worry about the things going?"
Cai Tiju smiled immediately. As long as Wang Fulin is gone, he might be able to save his position by then. He would not be able to get a second-level position to become a deputy, and he could also go to the presidency of Haojing to draw a meritorious service.
