Daming pirates

After these things happened, although the local officials suspected that Hailang was responsible for it, they did not dare to pursue this kind of thing too much. Besides, the suffering master was almost wiped out. If they wanted money but had no money, who would be willing to stand up for them! So the local government

In the end, the government closed most of the cases accidentally, resulting in the mysterious death of these fishermen and their families.

The relatives of two fishermen refused to let go. They kept complaining to the county government and even went to the prefect government to complain. They spent money everywhere to avenge their dead relatives, but soon they also disappeared inexplicably.

There were no traces of people alive, and no corpses were found. One of them actually disappeared inexplicably from his bed at home in the middle of the night. In the end, the government could not find their whereabouts, so they had to give up.

So in this way, after the news spread, the fishing tyrants all knew how powerful the Sea Wolf was, and they no longer dared to openly oppose the Sea Wolf tribe who were operating on their territory. They could only watch helplessly as the Sea Wolf tribe controlled them.

They gained their financial resources and controlled the local fishing market.

As long as the fishermen catch fish in the fishing grounds designated by Sea Wolf and then sell them on land, they can receive continued protection from Sea Wolf, ensuring that when they sell fish, they will no longer be exploited and oppressed by the fishing tyrants. That’s it.

Later, they paid the fishing tax to Sea Wolf, but their income was much higher than before.

Now, who of the fishermen are still refusing to do it! A large number of fishermen began to flock to the fishing grounds designated by Sea Wolf to carry out fishing operations, and Sea Wolf obtained a considerable amount of income from it, which at least solved the problem of the Sea Wolf tribe eating fish.

The question is, as long as people can regularly eat these meat products from fisheries, people can get more protein, their physical condition will be much better, and the need for brown rice, which is mainly carbohydrate, will be reduced.

However, Sea Wolf's actions still touched the interests of a large number of people on land. Whenever fishing tyrants occupy the fishing market, it is not just them who benefit. There will be quite a lot of people attached to this line.

The fishing tyrants came to absorb the blood of the fishermen, but after the fishing tyrants were squeezed out of the fishing market by the sea wolves, these subordinates and officials who relied on the fishing tyrants to profit were naturally unhappy.

Therefore, Sea Wolf's actions will naturally arouse the hostility of a small group of people, and this small group of people are precisely the managers of this era. They belong to vested interest groups and have no regard for the lives and deaths of ordinary people.

Even though Sea Wolf has benefited many fishermen by doing this, it is still regarded as a thorn in the side of many local subordinates and gentry. Once stereotypes are formed, it is very difficult to change them, but Sea Wolf breaks them.

If you break this stereotype, you will naturally encounter hostility from some people.

Therefore, there have been many calls on land recently, saying that sea wolves are infringing on fishermen, defrauding good people, and asking the government to send troops to suppress them. They don’t care whether the fishermen are willing or not. The key is that their own interests are affected by sea wolves.

destroy.

Sea Wolf personnel heard about these situations on land and reported them back to the Wolf Lair on Nanyue Island.

Therefore, Zhu Yifeng's attitude towards Hailang is very important. Recently, Hailang has spent a lot of money to bribe some subordinate officials or servants around officials in the governor's yamen, chief secretary's yamen and press secretary's yamen to specially collect

Regarding Zhu Yifeng’s attitude towards Sea Wolf.

Zhu Yifeng, an official, has a pretty good reputation in Fujian. Compared with his colleagues, this person is more decent in his work. Although he does charge a small filial piety fee and other agreed-upon benefits, he still does it.

In terms of major matters, it is still relatively principled.

At least this Zhu Yifeng was very rude to Wei Zhongxian and his party. Wei Zhongxian is now the most popular figure in the Ming Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that his power is overwhelming. This guy can be said to control the promotion and even life and death of many officials, so everywhere

Now the officials are fawning over him so much that they want to go to the capital and lick his ass.

Ever since someone spent money to build a living shrine for Wei Zhongxian in the local area in order to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, this unhealthy trend of building a living shrine for Wei Zhongxian spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

There are naturally many officials in Fujian who want to embrace Wei Zhongxian's stinky feet, but Zhu Yifeng sneered at this and refused to spend a penny to build a shrine for Wei Zhongxian. The governor stated that he would not build it, and the officials below

Naturally, they do not dare to act rashly, so despite the fact that other provinces are currently building a shrine for Wei Zhongxian with great fanfare, in Fujian, no one has ever built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Yifeng is quite a bloody figure in this regard. Even recently, Wei Zhongxian has been busy raising money everywhere in the capital to build a luxurious tomb for the current emperor, the current Xizong Zhu Youxiao, and asked the governors from various places to pay homage to the capital.

Zhong gave him sales money, and in addition to building a mausoleum for Xizong, he also asked him to make a fortune.

But Zhu Yifeng simply turned a deaf ear and did not send a penny to the capital. He also ordered all the governments not to secretly use this as an excuse to send money to the capital. This would definitely offend Wei Zhongxian to death.

of.

When Yu Xiaotian saw this, he couldn't help but nod his head and expressed his appreciation for Zhu Yifeng's integrity. It takes a lot of courage to do this. If an official can reach the position of governor, he will at least be a minister in future generations.

As an official, doing so is very risky. He may be overthrown by the Wei Party at any time and become a political victim, but Zhu Yifeng still persists, which shows that this person is a person with considerable backbone.

But the more such a person is, the harder it is to deal with them.

In the past few months after Zhu Yifeng took office as the governor, he never mentioned anything about the campaign to suppress the sea wolves. This attitude is very suspicious.

The main reason why Prime Minister Zhu Qin stepped down was because he tried to send troops to suppress the Sea Wolf, but not only failed to destroy the Sea Wolf, but he was attacked head-on by the Sea Wolf before he even had time to gather his troops.

The fleet of naval warships that he mobilized to Nanyue Water Village were defeated, and the city of Puxi was bombarded, which shocked the whole of Fujian.

In the end, Prime Minister Zhu Qin had to step down sadly because he was impeached by many colleagues at this time, and was sent to the capital to await his punishment.

Therefore, after Zhu Yifeng came to power, both Yu Xiaotian and various forces on the ground in Fujian secretly speculated that after Zhu Yifeng took office, he would have to have an explanation for this matter. The government could not be beaten in vain.

Pulled down.

But what is unexpected is that after Zhu Yifeng took office, he seemed to have forgotten about this matter. No matter on any occasion, he never mentioned the matter of gathering troops to suppress the Sea Wolf. Some people even took the initiative to mention it.

At that time, Zhu Yifeng also said that the navy was in dilapidated condition and the officers and soldiers were not strong enough to mobilize troops. This matter should be discussed later.

This attitude is really a bit abnormal. According to common sense, even after Zhu Yifeng took office, he was worried that he could not easily exterminate the sea wolves and was unwilling to use troops easily. In the end, the trouble was beyond control, just like Zhu Qinxiang, because

Losing the battle means being dismissed from office, but at least on the surface you still have to shout slogans and express your stance.

But Zhu Yifeng seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and did not mention the suppression of the sea wolves at all.

In reporting the wolf's attitude, Yu Xiaotian did not find anyone mentioning that Zhu Yifeng said on some occasion that he wanted to deal with the sea wolf.

So Yu Xiaotian threw the information on the table, stretched his waist, and said to Lin Yiyang who was sitting aside: "If something goes wrong, it must be a monster! Zhu Yifeng's attitude is wrong! There is no reason for him to be so low-key and silent after taking the stage.

Don't mention our affairs.

Although we have restrained ourselves a lot since the bombardment of Puxi Institute and the burning of Nanyue Water Village last year, recently we have opened fishing grounds and levied fishery taxes, but we are still making a fuss.

The local officials and gentry have suffered a lot from this. Some of them are very capable and have been putting pressure on Zhu Yifeng recently. Even if Zhu Yifeng is unwilling to go to war with us, he must at least have an attitude.

But now it seems that he doesn't care about us at all, and this matter seems too abnormal! It seems that we cannot underestimate the new Governor Zhu, he must have other plans!"

Lin Yiyang already had a general understanding of Xiaotian's inspection trip to Tamsui. He knew that Yu Xiaotian had discovered many problems in the civil affairs during his trip to Tamsui City, and asked Lu to make immediate rectifications.

This incident made Lin Yiyang a little uneasy, because Lu Shichou had not taken over the civil affairs management of Tamsui City from him for a long time. After Xiaotian discovered these things, it was actually considered that he did not do things well, and he could not escape his involvement.

of.

So after Yu Xiaotian came back, Lin Yiyang hurriedly apologized to Yu Xiaotian, but Yu Xiaotian didn't reprimand him, he just said some mild words, so the matter was dismissed.

Only then did Lin Yiyang realize that Yu Xiaotian was not as rough as he thought. Yu Xiaotian looked at problems much more deeply than he thought, and his horizons were wider than he thought. Even though he could not be said to be as meticulous as his hair, he was

It's not an easy thing to fool him.

Therefore, Lin Yiyang no longer dared to trust him, and treated Yu Xiaotian with much more respect.

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Lin Yiyang nodded quickly and said: "What the boss said is absolutely true, and my subordinates also feel that this matter is abnormal. Logically speaking, Zhu Yifeng should not despise us so much after taking office.

Recently, when the boss was away, my subordinates also checked this information and found that Zhu Yifeng may not give up on us, but he is not strong enough now and doesn't want to make it public for the time being!"

"Oh? Is that how you see it? Then what's the reason?" Yu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and asked Lin Yiyang.

(I feel a little bit overwhelmed. The hospital is so noisy at night that I basically can’t sleep. In addition, my son has to be atomized and given fluids, so I can only sleep for two or three hours a night. I really can’t stand it anymore!)
