Chapter 578 Use troops in Luzon, let Dongchang keep an eye on it!
Chen Lin did serve in history to make battalion soldiers build Buddhist temples, and even did not hesitate to deduct military pay to raise funds for the construction of Buddhist temples so as to mutiny.
In this life, although Chen Lin did not dare to do so, because he was in command of a navy, there were indeed some cases where he did a lot of service to make battalion soldiers reclaim land for himself on overseas lands, and use The warships carried goods for smuggling.
Therefore, after Wang Xijue said this, Zhu Yijun did not deny it, but Chen Lin, the direct general who protected him, just said:
"It is best for Chen Lin to be in command of naval battles. There is no one who has more experience in large-scale naval battles. Although his behavior is misbehaving, he is suspected of abolishing the public for personal reasons, but it is precisely because of Chen Lin's many bad deeds that he can be more capable." Prompt him to make meritorious deeds and atone for his crime."
"Yes!"
Wang Xijue had no choice but to agree.
Then, after Zhu Yijun left the Shi Yusi, he ordered Zhang Jingxiu: "In your own name, ask Jin Yiwei to anonymize the contents of the report pleadings that Chen Lin has used for personal gain and embezzled official property." Copy a copy and give it to Chen Lin! Don't tell him it's what I mean."
Zhang Jingxiu clapped his hands and said yes.
In fact, Jin Yiwei had already received many complaints about informing Chen Lin and other navy generals. However, because Zhu Yijun had long planned to force Chen Lin and other navy generals to work seriously for the court in the future, he did not let Jin Yiwei conduct a serious investigation and directly handed over the evidence. Find out and punish Chen Lin and other naval generals.
This is also impossible.
Because of the poor communication conditions in this era, once these naval generals go out to sea, they will let the birds fly in the sky and the fish jump in the sea, and the emperor's imperial decree can't control them. Survive in other places overseas.
Therefore, most naval generals can't help but do things that violate military discipline and kingly laws in places that the central monitoring system cannot supervise.
Of course, as long as the imperial court does not control them too strictly, these navy generals will not betray the imperial court and go overseas to establish their own country independently.
After all, although they have gone to sea, their roots are still in the mainland, and no matter whether it is supplies of food and other materials or the supply of high-quality soldiers and sailors with skills, they cannot leave the mainland. The imperial court, but did not dare to betray the imperial court openly.
Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong in history would not have become the overlord of the sea, and he still wanted to accept the imperial court's recruitment to become a guerrilla general under civilian control.
Although Zhu Yijun didn't strictly pursue what Chen Lin did, he knew that he couldn't threaten Chen Lin or cure Chen Lin. He just wanted to hold these people some grounds.
However, if Chen Lin is really defeated and does not come back because of fear of crime, then he can directly attack Chen Lin's clan in the mainland, and even take away Chen Lin's property in the mainland, and want Chen Lin with a lot of money, making Chen Lin an innocent Root Ping.
After Chen Lin received the report content secretly sent by Zhang Jingxiu, he frowned and thought hard for a while, and then immediately ordered:
"Come on! Bring the map of Luzon!"
"Father, it's late at night, I'll be looking at the map tomorrow morning."
Chen Maoxiu, the grandson of Chen Lin who stayed by Chen Lin's side, persuaded him at this time.
Chen Lin said: "I need to watch it now! Go!"
Chen Maoxiu had no choice but to say yes, and then walked out.
After a while, Chen Maoxiu came back.
Seeing this, Chen Lin asked, "Who's here?"
Chen Maoxiu replied: "Li Wenhe from Quanzhou came to pay respects, did Daddy see you or not?"
Chen Lin nodded after thinking for a while, indicating that he wanted to see Li Wenhe.
"Yes!"
So, not long after, Chen Lin saw Li Wenhe.
Li Wenhe is a descendant of the Li family, a wealthy family in Quanzhou. He once served as Chen Lin's staff, so he was acquainted with Chen Lin.
"The late student is here to congratulate Gong Gong."
When Li Wenhe saw Chen Lin, he first smiled and bowed his hands.
Chen Lin supported him, and asked in surprise, "What can I congratulate?"
Li Wenhe continued to laugh and said, "Don't you know? The holy will has been made clear. Let the admiral supervise the whole army and conquer the Lu Song bandits! And in this way, the day when you can be named a marquis can wait!"
"Is this true?"
"How did Zimei know about this?"
Chen Lin asked again.
Li Wenhe said: "After a while, there will be an imperial decree, and the Duke will know when the time comes."
Chen Lin nodded.
Then, Chen Lin asked with a smile: "Zimei came to see me, presumably not just for congratulations?"
"Exactly!"
Li Wenhe approached Chen Lin as he spoke, and said in a low voice, "You know that the courtiers have been eyeing you for a long time?"
After hearing this, Chen Lin glanced at Li Wenhe, frowned slightly, and said, "But please speak carefully."
"The business overseas is being targeted by them!"
"Just wait for the public to settle the Luzon matter this time, and settle the account!"
"As the saying goes, if the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey will cook; you should think about your retreat, after all, a general like Sulai who leads the army at sea will not be tolerated by the court."
Li Wenhe continued to speak in a low voice.
Chen Lin got up and laughed: "A retreat?"
"Exactly!"
Li Wenhe replied.
"Appreciate further details."
Chen Lin said with a smile.
Li Wenhe then said: "This time regarding the conquest of Luzon, if the Duke allows the army to win, although he may be granted a title of marquis, what will happen after he is granted the title of marquis?"
"It must be the time of the liquidation!"
"You must know that the wealth accumulated by the public in these years overseas has already made the officials in the court salivate. Evil cannot receive taxes from the public's property! Therefore, the public might as well not be obsessed with conferring a false name as a marquis. In the case of Luzon, it is best not to let the big army win, or to first suffer a small defeat and then win a big victory, but to give the Western barbarians a chance to breathe, as the saying goes, to support themselves and protect themselves!"
"Protect yourself?"
Chen Lin asked.
Li Wenhe nodded: "Exactly, the Fan thieves have to be suppressed, and they can't be completely suppressed. You can take Manila and give the court an explanation, but it is also an opportunity for the Fan Yi to evacuate to Hong Kong and other places. Even though he has great military exploits, he can still benefit from the trade of smuggling large quantities of goods across Europe."
"So what is there and what is there, why not do it?"
Li Wenhe asked Chen Lin a question.
Chen Lin pondered for a while, and then suddenly said solemnly: "It's possible, but this time, I will add [-]% to the money earned from smuggling Xiyi."
"Too much! Even if our Li family agrees, the other big families may not agree. They have lost a lot over the years, and they are counting on the Europa line to slowly return their money."
Li Wen said peacefully.
Chen Lin said: "Then I'll try my best to be a marquis, even if the house is confiscated in the future, I will admit it!"
"One and a half!"
"I'll try to talk."
Li Wenhe said suddenly.
Chen Lin said: "If that's the case, I invite Zimei to come back as soon as possible to be my staff member and my military adviser. I would like to double the monthly silver given to you."
"Thanks to my uncle's favor, Wansheng should try his best to make this matter come true."
Li Wenhe smiled and clapped his hands back.
After Li Wenhe left, Chen Lin stopped his smile, stood outside the window and looked at the bright moon on the sea outside for a while, then went back to the study and wrote back a letter to Zhang Jingxiu: "Sincerely, your letter has been received ..."
When Zhu Yijun was young and Zhang Juzheng was still in power, Chen Lin and Zhang Jingxiu got acquainted because the emperor intended to cultivate cronies through Jingwei martial arts. Therefore, the relationship between Chen Lin and Zhang Jingxiu has always been very good, and they often communicate in private.
……
One night after ten days.
Zhu Yijun was also under a pavilion, looking at the bright moon outside the palace wall, his thoughts drifted back to the time when he rode horses with Chen Lin, Zhang Jingxiu, Li Rusong and others in Jingwei Wuxue.
"Your Majesty, Dongchang discovered that a large household has suddenly sold a large number of subscription coupons outside recently."
At this time, Tian Yi walked in and reported something to Zhu Yijun.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but tighten his expression, and then replied: "Got it."
Then, Zhu Yijun asked, "Who is selling?"
"Mostly from the southeastern clan."
Tian Yi replied at this time.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun couldn't help frowning, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "You Dongchang sent a team of reliable people to lurk in the hometown of Weng Yuanbo's mansion. If there is any suspicious sign, report it to me immediately!"
"Yes!"
After Tian Yi left, Zhu Yijun looked out of the pavilion again. He was still worried that people like Chen Lin would collude with the smuggling wealthy family.
Because Chen Lin's family is also a wealthy coastal family, and they also belong to that class.
Zhu Yijun not only needs to use these children of the rich coastal families who are more familiar with the sea situation, but also has to beware of these people.
