Gwangju.
Wanghaitai Pier is becoming more and more lively now.
The area near the pier looks more and more like a real city.
Many merchants opened various shops here. Many people who fled had no farmland and chose to work here, doing trivial tasks such as transporting cargo. These people settled here and formed a residential area.
, ship merchants traveling from various places also needed a fixed resting place, so they began to buy fields around here and settle their families. They had many families, and almost every port and dock had some family members.
Various officials dispatched by the government also set up yamen offices around it to administer the area. All kinds of buildings were gathered together, and more and more people gathered. The level of prosperity even exceeded that of some ordinary county towns.
The big ships docked at the pier, one next to the other, look particularly spectacular. Each of these ships is huge in size, but the shapes and styles are very different. The bows and hulls are decorated in various ways, even if they are
People who don't know anything about boats can tell the difference between these big boats at a glance.
The big ships of Chen State are very distinguishable from the big ships of the north. For laymen, just looking at their decorations is enough.
Chen Guoren likes to decorate his treasure boats, such as on the bow. Chen people will use more exaggerated shapes, such as tiger heads, animal heads, spread wings, etc.
They are already far ahead in the technical field, so they are more thinking about how to make the ships more beautiful.
However, the large ships in the north are much simpler. No matter in terms of speed, cargo capacity, etc., they have no advantage, and they can even be outclassed in appearance.
Whenever shipping is at its busiest, there will always be idle people who have finished their work gathering on the shore.
Go see those big ships.
For them, this is also a crude form of entertainment.
Even in the living environment of Northern Qi in the past, people still had many crude entertainment activities.
After all, although the senior officials of Qi State do not regard them as human beings, they are real human beings.
Many of the people who came to the shore to see the big ship were children who had never grown up, and there were also some adults.
You can't get on those big ships, so even if you look at them from a distance, it's a strange experience.
Several children excitedly pointed at the new boat and shouted, "Look, look at that little boat. Is there a person hanging on the bow?"
"That's a wooden figure...\nIt's just a boat. What's so good about it?"
"No, look, that boat is different from the others!"
Everyone looked at the small boat that had just arrived and talked a lot. Sure enough, although this boat was small,
But the decoration is extremely gorgeous, and it stands out among other ordinary boats. It is also very obvious.
Many people were looking in that direction, and a few sturdy young men slowly walked up to one of them and whispered: "General, this is Chen's clipper."
The person watching the ship among the many idle people was none other than Guangzhou General Wang Lin.
Lao Wang Lin stared at the clipper ship in the distance, shook her head left and right, and motioned for them to disperse again.
When the ship docked, they saw more than ten people ashore and were interrogated by officials.
They are all dressed in white and look like ordinary businessmen, not officials.
However, not to mention Wang Lin, even the clerk in charge of registration looked suspicious at this moment.
These ten or so people are all young and strong, tall and tall. Surrounded by a young man with fair complexion, he is carrying a heavy package on a luxurious speedboat. The package is slightly opened, and there is a golden...
.What the hell do you think he is an ordinary businessman??
The clerk quietly took a few steps back and narrowed his eyes.
The defenders responsible for public security in the distance saw the strange behavior of the minor officials and quickly moved closer to them.
The young man was helpless when he saw the official's appearance. He looked to the left and right and took out a package.
He walked quickly to the clerk.
"This is for you. Please do me a favor and let us go. We really have something urgent to go to Pingcheng."
The clerk looked at the heavy package and said, "Give this to me??"
"All for you."
"well...
The clerk suddenly pulled out his sword and said, "Here comes someone! Great credit!!"
There were screams of surprise from all around, and the people gave way one after another. The defenders took out their crossbows, and several people raised their spears.
Seeing this situation, these ten people were extremely frightened and at a loss. They did not carry weapons.
You cannot enter the dock with weapons, so you cannot deal with this situation.
The petty officials led the people on the left and right, surrounded them, and shouted for them to kneel on the ground and accept surrender.
Just when the situation was getting more and more critical, a person quickly appeared here.
"Everyone stop it."
The man spoke, and the clerk turned around angrily. When he saw the old man standing behind him, he was startled and hurriedly bowed to see him.
Before the clerk could speak, Wang Lin looked at those people and said, "I am the thief here, my surname is Wang. Who are you?"
The clerk was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly to those people: "That's right! This is our King of Thieves Cao! He has always handled cases like a god, so don't try to bully me..."
"That's enough, go and do your business."
Wang Lin interrupted the clerk, who chuckled, ordered the guards, and left quickly.
The young man came out and bowed to Wang Lin.
"Meet King Thief Cao."
"Well, don't be too polite."
Wang Lin looked at the young man in front of her, and the more she looked at him, the more she frowned.
"Who are you?"
"We are from Jiangdong, and we are here to do business. Wang Lin, a businessman, exclaimed, "Ah, I know, are you...\n.\nCrossing the river in white?"
"Are you here to kill Wang Lin?"
These people were scared and pale, and the young people were frightened to eat, "I, I, I am not ..."
Wang Lin waved, "Okay, know, follow me."
He called for the young man that year and asked him to follow him, and the rest were deducted,
From time to time, young people look back, worry.
"Don't worry, let them rest more time. '
Wang Lin said softly, he pointed to a restaurant in the distance, "The meals over there are the most good."
"You can eat together."
"Ah. Only."
Wang Lin pulled him into the restaurant, and the owner of the restaurant obviously remembered Wang Lin. When he saw the old customers coming, Wang Lin was not hesitant.
After ordering it, the boss was happier.
The young post -younger was suspiciously looked at the weird thief Cao in front of him.
In the past, it was said that people in Beihu were ridiculous and weird. I did not expect it, it turned out to be true !!
He doesn't know what this person wants to do. The probability is to grab his own money?
The young man thought, Wang Lin ordered the meal, found a quiet place, sat down.
"This place, everything is good, that is, the meals of this restaurant are extremely expensive."
Wang Lin complained.
The young people laughed bitterly, "What does Lao Zhang want to do? May wish to say it straight."
‘Then you have to say straight, do n’t treat the northern people as fools. The northern people are not smart in the South, but they are not all fools."
"ah?"
The young people are even more confused, but now that it is, he is not good at concealing his identity, so he has to show his identity.
"Hahahaha ~~"
Wang Lin didn't hold back, and laughed.
"King Dugu? Is this the south that is called him?"
Wang Lin shook her head and asked :) "It was come to vote, why not show the identity directly with the officials, let the official department escort, but hide his identity?"
The young man sighed, "It's because of the general Wang Lin of Guangzhou."
"oh?"
"Do you have a holiday with Wang Lin?"
The young man was full of sadness, "What kind of person is I, where can I have a holiday with him, it is my father,
There was a holiday with him, hearing that he was sitting in Guangzhou. If he let him know the news I came, wouldn't it be a public revenge? "
Wang Lin nodded and thought of it.
"Your consideration is right. This Wang Lin is really not a good thing.
"ah?"
The young people were scared again.
Wang Lin explained: "The old man also had some festivals with him. If it wasn't for him, I would not be displaced.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, after winning a few times, I became complacent and self-righteous, and ruined the lives of tens of thousands of troops.
In the end, I couldn't even save my family and old friends...
"Anyway, don't worry, he and I are definitely not the same group."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "I just ask Thief Cao for a favor. If we can see King Dugu, I will definitely prepare all the gifts!"
"It doesn't have to be like this. You want to go to King Dugu. As his subordinates, we should do our best to help you. I will help you."
"Thank you, Thief Cao!!"
"Sit down and eat."
Wang Lin was watching, and the food began to be served. Wang Lin greeted the young man to eat, and then Jin asked: "I heard that the south is very lively now, with all the eminent monks and celebrities gathering. Why do you want to run away instead?"
The young man sighed deeply and said, "In front of the thief Cao, I won't hide it. The thief Cao, my surname is Hou, and I call myself Hou Mi."
"My father is General Chen Guo'andu."
"Hou Andu?!"
Wang Lin's eyes widened, "It turns out that you are a famous general, so you are rude and rude."
A trace of pride flashed across Mi Hou's face, but soon he became lonely again, "Oh, but none of our brothers can inherit our father's style."
"I was originally serving as the internal historian of Shixing. Your Majesty conferred the title of Chen Shuling as the king of Shixing. There was a change in the Zhou Dynasty, so I was ordered to follow him and serve as an official in his palace."
"Who would have thought that King Shiheung, who usually has a virtuous reputation, is really a living beast!"
Hou Mi said angrily: "He has committed all kinds of evil in the local area. He has committed murder, robbery, arson and rape. He has done many evil things. He doesn't care about any officials at all. Anyone who dares to provoke him will be punished by him."
"He is very good at putting on airs in front of the emperor. When Bingdan's relatives are around, he changes into a different person. He holds a book in his hand and is polite. When no one is watching Bingdan, his true nature is exposed."
Hou Mihai frowned, his eyes suddenly turned red, "My wife is naturally beautiful. Somehow, this beast found out about it, so he ordered me to go out to work, and then he wanted to rape my wife by force. My wife is strong and swears to die."
If you don’t obey, you will commit suicide and die...:.."
"I gave up my official position, took my slaves with me, borrowed a speedboat from Pengqiu, and escaped. I originally wanted to go to Huainan, but there were also his minions there, so I fled here."
Listening to Hou Mi's words, Wang Lin couldn't help but sigh.
"Compared to his brother, Chen Xiang is really very different.
"Such a scourge can still be sent to local places and entrusted with important responsibilities."
Hejin Quanhai said: "Don't be anxious, sooner or later this dog's day will be cut by a thousand cuts..."
Wang Lin comforted the other party, and Jin took him to eat the food. Hou Mi's mood improved a lot.
I had a full meal, but there was still a lot of food left to eat.
Wang Lin called her boss over.
"We really can't finish these things. Let's put them in a bucket and send someone to deliver them to the porters at the pier."
The boss laughed and said, "Be kind to everyone."
Wang Lin waved her hand and looked at Secretary Hou, "Give me the money.
"Ah...oh...
Hou Mi hurriedly got up and paid for the meal.
The two of them walked out of the hotel one after another. Wang Lin asked, "But I still don't understand, what is the dispute between your father and Wang Lin?"
Hou Mi hurriedly said: "At the beginning, Wang Linmo occupied the southern city of Dai, with more than 100,000 troops, and won many battles.
The people of the Southern Kingdom are in panic. It was my father who defeated him and drove him out of the Southern Kingdom!"
"Your father betrayed him?"
"That's not right."
"I remember that he was not the only one who came to attack me. Let me think about it, Chen, Hou Andu,
Hou Tian, ​​Xu Du, Xu Jingcheng, Wu Mingche, Huang Fazhai, Lu Xida, Zhou Wenyu, Hua Jiao, Shi Ning..."
Wang Lin Bingbing started counting them, and she counted all the treasures in her family.
"There are many people anyway, and he can't even be considered a general."
"Hai, I have nothing to do with him. It's not right. When I defeated him, Zhou Wenyu, Xu Jingcheng, and Chen Baxian's more than 20 generals, I tied them up and threw them on the ground.
They were angry with me. I still remember it very clearly. Back then, there was only one named Zhou Tiehu who was particularly rude to me, so I killed him. And your father lowered his head and called me father-in-law.
of."
"You can only insult me. I didn't manage the army strictly. The cronies who arranged to guard the criminals were complete bastards. I took their bribes and secretly let them go."
Wang Lin had a smile on her face, but she said some extremely terrifying words.
Hou Mi, who had a smile on his face just now, now had his eyes widened, his face was frightened, and his whole body was shaking.
Seeing his frightened look, Wang Lin laughed again and patted his shoulder.
"Don't be so afraid."
"I am Wang Lin."
"It's so obvious to me, why can't you, baby?"
Hou Mi was stunned and motionless.
Wang Lin continued: "Don't worry, I have long since let go of those things in the past. I did kill many people in the past and hated many people, but there is nothing I can do. I can't resurrect those people, and there is nothing I can do."
Digging out my enemies and killing them all will be done after I see them after I die."
"I will not detain you. If you want to go to His Majesty, I will send someone to escort you there."
"But, I still have a few questions, and you have to explain them to me."
"Let's go!"
Wang Linla watched him get into another car that had been prepared, and the two of them walked towards the government office.
Secretary Hou was furious. Wang Lin's reputation was still very big in the south. As the defeated Bingfang, Chen Guo carried out various propaganda on Wang Lin. His image was not much better than that of King Dugu. Basically
It's a tooth-healing monster that eats people.
Wang Lin happily asked about some things that he was more concerned about.
"You just made a strange move on the people of Zhou Dynasty. How did you do it?"
"Yu Wenxian was transferred to Mianyang."
'Hua Jiao, the governor of Xiangzhou, used to be ordered by Emperor Wen to build 200 fin ships. Now all the ships have been completed, but he has been delaying them and imprisoning the ships in his own hands. He has been reluctant to do so.
Turn it over to the temple."
"Then he actually wrote a letter to the emperor, claiming that he wanted to go to Guangzhou to serve as governor."
"Many people in the court suspected that he wanted to rebel."
"Two hundred porcelain-winged ships??"
Wang Lin's eyes flashed with light, her mouth opened, and her eyes were full of surprise and envy.
At present, the Han navy also has golden-winged ships. Well, there are four ships in total...
Wang Lin was stationed in Guangzhou, overlooking the surrounding Qingxu and many other areas to prevent them from causing trouble. An important duty of Xianwaibing was to train the navy in Guangzhou.
Wang Lin is also working very hard, and Bingzhi has been busy these days.
However, this really cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. Currently, there are three large shipyards in Gwangju.
There are also many craftsmen, but compared with those in the south, they are far behind.
When Wang Lin first had a large army, there were countless shipyards under the devil, and warships were launched every day, one after another.
Wang Lin put away her envy and said, "Keep going, keep going."
"The emperor is working to eradicate this scourge, and everyone is worried that he will use these large ships to form a navy and attack]
In various places, Jin was worried that he would take these large ships to surrender to Chen Guo.
"oops!"
"It would be great if you came to vote for us. If you can really send two hundred porcelain wings, I will give him the position of General Guangzhou!"
Unfortunately, Gwangju is really far away from Xiangzhou.
Even if the prince drooled with envy, he would not be able to steal those ships. The navy of Chen State was not a vegetarian.
Tajin asked: "You were sitting in a boat and walking along the road from there? Didn't you meet anyone along the way?"
Hou Mi said truthfully: "There is a lot of chaos on the river. Many people came from the north and ran to the south by boat. Merchant ships and these transport ships were piled up. Several water thieves appeared in Jin Dynasty, and they were specially targeting these transport ships.
The ship started to move. Someone Hai was organized by the big clan in the south. The patrolling fleets were all moving to the west to maintain order.
If you intercept ships without flags more often, you will ignore the luxury speedboat I am on."
"oh.....
3"
Wang Lin gently stroked her beard and frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
After arriving at the local government office, Wang Lin immediately sent someone to send Secretary Hou to Lu Xiang, and made clear the cause and effect of the matter, asking Lu Xiang to send him to Pingcheng as soon as possible.
