One thousand three hundred and forty-one he refused to compromise

During the battle in the mountainous areas of Fujian, the deeply rooted landlords and powerful armed forces were relatively strong.

They took advantage of their familiar terrain to cause a lot of trouble to the Ming army.

However, the Ming army was not without the power to confront it. The Fujian Revival Association branch, which gradually developed in the local area, used grassroots organizations to fight grassroots organizations, which provided great help to the Ming army.

If you can play in grassroots organizations, I can do it, so let’s see which of us is stronger.

During the battle, the Ming army's advanced weapons and powerful combat effectiveness were also a very important factor.

The musketeers and gunners of the Second Battalion of the Divine Machinery played a great role in the battle. The emergence of musketeers and artillery brought a huge blow to the powerful people who took the farm as the base.

The bombardment of artillery made the farm's solid defense meaningless. The powerful force of the musket destroyed the morale of the landlord's armed forces in a very short time. The fierce explosion of the sky-shaking thunder made the landlord's armed forces frightened.

They thought they could drag down the Ming army by perseverance, but when they realized that the Ming army's new firearm had developed to such a level, they gradually fell into a desperate situation.

In fact, the landlords and powerful people on Fujian Road were not unaware of the momentum of the Ming Dynasty sweeping the world. They also knew that the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was taken for granted and inevitable, but they could not accept the Ming Dynasty's liquidation policy.

They hope to use their strong combat power and will to resist to strike the Ming army, so that the Ming Dynasty could realize their strength, thus gaining the value of united front and obtaining relatively generous policy conditions.

At least, the Ming Dynasty cannot be allowed to revolutionize their lives.

But Su Yonglin refused.

Sweep away the monsters and monsters and carry out the revolution to the end.

He refused to compromise.

He took a firm attitude towards these people, used a large number of muskets and cannons to attack them fiercely, and sent firearms such as the already mature thunder to the battlefield, so that these bastards knew that the Ming army was definitely not the target they could touch the car.

With such a firm attitude, Su Yonglin led the Ming army to fight in the mountainous areas of Fujian from September to the end of November. The explosion and roar of gunpowder brought the complete victory of the Ming army.

They wiped out thousands of powerful households and tens of thousands of armed soldiers of landlords.

The official Song forces in Fujian basically did not have any impact on the Ming army. The city was about to fall, but the war between the landlords and powerful armed forces and the Ming army and the Peasant Self-Defense Forces of the Revival Society lasted for a long time.

Su Yonglin first stayed in Sha County, Nanjian Prefecture to command the battle, and then moved to Longxi County, Zhangzhou to command the battle and carry out the land revolution.

Under his personal coordinated command of the rear, the Ming Dynasty's powerful mobilization was fully stimulated, and a large amount of war materials were transported from the Jiangnan area just controlled by the Ming army to Fujian Road, providing extremely rich logistical support to the Ming army that was fighting.

With strong logistical support, the local landlords and powerful armed forces in Fujian gradually could not support them. By mid-November, the Ming army won one after another, and the strong armed strong armed forces of the landlords and powerful armed forces were pulled out one after another.

At the end of November, the situation on Fujian Road was basically stable. The landlords and powerful armed forces in various prefectures were defeated and almost completely killed. The Ming army attacked rapidly in the mountainous areas of Fujian, with unstoppable momentum, and completely destroyed the opposition forces in this area that had not been seen since the chaotic times in the late Tang Dynasty.

In early December, the smoke of gunpowder on Fujian Road gradually faded, and the Ming army won a great victory. The landlords' armed forces could no longer pose any effective threat to the Ming army. So Su Yonglin left the front line of the war with confidence and came to the international metropolis of Quanzhou's era.

Lin Jingchun has been waiting in Quanzhou for a long time.

When the landlord armed groups on Fujian Road launched a counterattack against the Ming army's attack, some local merchants in Quanzhou seemed to see the dawn of breaking away from the Ming Dynasty's control, so they secretly contacted them, preparing to cooperate inside and outside to assist the landlord armed forces in capturing Quanzhou.

However, the situation changed rapidly. The Ming army withstood this wave of counterattack and in turn launched a slash-out attack on the local landlord armed forces. The rebellious forces of local merchants in Quanzhou were also detected by the Skynet Army, revealing their strength.

So the East China Sea Navy commander Zhou Mancheng immediately ordered the Marines to attack, destroying the base camps that wiped out nine local merchants in a row, killing nearly a thousand people.

Nine local merchants were wiped out, all their families were destroyed, and all their property was confiscated. The local rebel forces in Quanzhou were gone after this battle.

Lin Jingchun calmly handled the remaining assets of the nine local merchants, and included all their maritime merchant fleets, locally operated stores and commodity warehouses under the control of the Ministry of Finance's Maritime Trade Department, and changed their nature to state-owned.

When Su Yonglin dealt with the rebel forces on the entire Fujian Road and arrived in Quanzhou, Lin Jingchun had expanded the total assets under the control of the Maritime Trade Department by one-fifth, and welcomed Su Yonglin to come for inspection.

"Nine local merchants connected with some landlords from other places to attack Quanzhou from outside. They gathered more than 4,000 armed forces, which were quite good in scale, but unfortunately they were not very good in combat. General Zhou said that he only used two thousand marines to break them apart, which shows that his combat power was weak."

Lin Jingchun followed Su Yonglin and smiled and said, "Now the assets and merchant fleets under the names of these nine merchants have been sorted out, the merchant fleet and warehouses have been all under the control of the Maritime Trade Department, and the shops under their name are managed by other departments.

Not to mention other departments, the assets controlled by the entire Marine Trade Department have expanded by about one-fifth. The assets of these Marine Trade Department are indeed rich. If you don’t count them, you will be shocked when you count them. Now, Marine Trade Department has a promising future."

Su Yonglin nodded.

"If you are seeking death, there is no reason not to allow them to die. Since you are unwilling to live in the new era, you should die in the old era. The entire Fujian Road war is about to end. Quanzhou is a place of financial resources, and you must make more arrangements in the surrounding prefectures."

"Well, I will make arrangements for this."

Lin Jingchun nodded and said, "The war between Zhangzhou and Nanjianzhou is the largest, and financial support will be in place in time. The financial support from other prefectures will not be lacking. Anyone who can support Quanzhou will support it. After all, what Quanzhou does not lack the least is money."

Lin Jingchun's words were not said for no reason.

After the Second Ming and Song War, Lin Jingchun and relevant departments of the Ministry of Finance spent several months rectifying the two major seaports of Quanzhou and Guangzhou, adjusted everything into place, and then reopened maritime trade.

After all, it is China's porcelain, silk, tea and other flagship products that are very powerful and cannot be produced by overseas countries, but they also like it very much.

Despite the strong constraints of the Ming Dynasty and the operation of raising tax rates, after the port was reopened and trade was restarted, they still purchased a large amount of goods and took them away, and soon returned to Quanzhou and Guangzhou to continue their previous trade.

Of course, this time their trade targets are no longer Song State Maritime Service and merchants, but almost all Ming State officials and merchants.

They need to pay higher tax rates to the Maritime Bureau, and the price of purchasing goods has also increased, on the grounds that wars are endless, transportation and production are difficult, and product output is reduced, so the account cannot be settled by increasing the price.

Later, the Ming Dynasty Maritime Bureau even told them that due to the Sichuan rebellion, Shu brocade production was greatly hit, and more than 90% of Shu brocade could not be supplied on time, so I feel sorry that the trade of Shu brocade may be temporarily affected.

Afterwards, the price of Shu brocade, which was still circulating on the market, was directly spread by merchants from various countries. It was difficult for merchants from various countries to seek a Shu brocade, and the wealth and taxes they paid for this were several times higher than those in the past.

It was not until the end of the seventh year of Hongwu that the price of Shujin finally fell back to a relatively normal range.

After this extreme operation, the Ming Dynasty Maritime Bureau and the Ministry of Finance further determined that the demand for silk, porcelain and other commodities by overseas merchants is almost a "firm demand", and is indispensable in a sense and irreplaceable. Within the scope permitted by the rules, the Ming Dynasty can operate at will to make high profits.

However, Lin Jingchun still maintained his basic rationality and did not allow the various rules to cheat people proposed by the people below to implement.

He believes that when doing business, we should pay attention to a basic rule and we should not actively break this rule, otherwise today's urgent needs will be abandoned mercilessly tomorrow.

After all, silk, porcelain and tea are not hard-core needs that are not enough to die if they don’t have food. They really make people anxious and don’t play with you, and they will have no money to make money.

Take your time and pay attention to fairness, justice and openness, and give them a good trading experience. This money can still be earned and can benefit future generations.
