Chapter 166: Commander Wang was defeated, and Commander Ruan showed his power and was able to take the boat!

On January 29, 15th year of Shaoxing, the Song Dynasty, when Wang Lan personally visited Qinglan Port, he knew why Long Suiyun's face was as white as dead pig's skin, but later as red as pig's liver: Qinglan Port is too big! However, this era is not as accurate as later generations. The map on Qiongzhou Prefecture has some "only understand" effect, which obviously enlarged Qiongzhou Port a lot. Only when ship workers who have visited two ports many times will set up a code to point it out that Qinglan Port is almost equal to Qiongzhou Port, and it is a real "harbor", with only a narrow entrance and exit, but the port is like a huge flat lake, with waves rising and falling on the sea, but it is calm here. It is a treasure storm-wearing place for fishermen in the nearby area, which can be used as a supply place for sea boats, but it has another purpose now: the Jincheng naval army is about to train troops like this.

Long Sui promised it was easy after drinking, but dozens of officials from the Maritime Warehouse Office stationed in Qinglan Port of Qiongzhou Prefecture, and nearly 200 people, including the small family, were ready for relocation within these five days. Some families had already returned to Qiongzhou Prefecture in advance. When Wang Lan entered the Maritime Warehouse Office, the old master was traveling a small family, with more than ten car owners. It seemed that it was difficult to be an official here. When the chief officer saw Wang Lan come in, he was embarrassed, but he had to bow and say, "Mr. Wang will have to feel wronged here. If there is anything to be difficult, he can just go to Qiongzhou Prefecture to summon a family here. Qinglan Port is the armpit of Qiongzhou Prefecture, the largest port in this prefecture, and the gateway to the south of the Song Dynasty is not a small matter. For several years, a family was walking on thin ice, afraid that they would bear the entrusted court, but then they handed over this heavy burden to the Lord. There are still many unsuitable things, and I am really ashamed!"

Seeing that the head of the matter was insincere, Wang Lan was displeased and refused to talk to him. He then said, "If there is any difficulty in serving the State of the Maritime Bureau, of course, you must ask the adults and visit the city and listen to the advice!"

But when the head of the matter Yang Chang went out, he was angry and sad: "I have been here for several years, and in which year I can't get 20,000 to 30,000 yuan? Once you, a small man in Hebei, how can this hatred be eliminated? But when these 100,000 yuan are finally exhausted, where can I find another position? Is there such good fortune?"

But the old master has been here for several years. It is not just a matter of intimidation. Sure enough, Wang Lan was wearing an official uniform and led her troops to the dock to announce the new policy the next day. As soon as the sea merchant boats were driven away, it was just a matter of fact. Several clerks brought from the business announced along the port: "I told the fishermen. Within five days from now on, boats with more than fifty stones must go to the Maritime Warrior Office to make a book and leave the port. Those who violate the order shall not enter and exit, and check whether there are any illegal activities. Don't say that they will be punished without being taught." Unexpectedly, in just half an hour, the three clerks rolled back to Wang Lan's sedan chair: "Your Majesty, these barbarians are so rude that they beat the officials. They have no king's laws. Look at the little one!"

The accompanying servant was just a clerk in the business before, but he was not a stint in the office. He had just been on his first day of "working". How could he know that such a big change would happen? It was just not like a few scholars. In fact, the injury was not light, and they were all covered in dust and ugly. Wang Lan got off the sedan chair and saw it carefully, but he was both funny and angry: "A bunch of stupid talents can't even deal with several fishermen. How can he take the big responsibility? But do the barbarians here really don't subdue the king's law? How did the original commander manage the territory?"

While he was scolding, he found that a hundred steps away from the sedan chair, local fishermen emerged one by one from fishing boats of different sizes on the pier. Most of the fishermen had only a fig leaf on their bodies. They were bare-armed and slowly surrounded the group of "officials" of more than ten people. There were many strong figures, and the officials and soldiers were afraid to retreat, which made the fishermen laugh.

Wang Lan was furious: "I want to imitate Mr. Hong, and try to use official robes to govern Hong Kong. You just have to take the punishment wine, but I don't blame me for being so mean!" He then strode forward and shouted angrily: "What's the reason for you to wait for the foolish people? How dare you beat up officials in the market department? Do you dare not be afraid of suing the lawsuit? Is there any king's law in your eyes?"

The fishermen obviously did not expect that some of the officials in this small team of officials dared to openly provoke. Although they had only one person, they were still imposing, which vaguely blocked the progress of the fishermen. Among them, some fishermen came from Leizhou and spoke in a mandarin language. Seeing Wang Lan in a fierce manner, they stepped forward and arched: "This master invited me. We are promoted to fight with the little people. We don't ask for much, but we only have two meals and one night. Qinglan Port is home. Even when Lord Lin was in office, he never had Bo and others. Now, on the first day of his tenure, he wanted to be Bo. Do you think that someone had something illegal? He did not rely on his official power to dominate others? So he went to the throne of Lord Long in Qiongzhou and could not talk about it. In Wenchang County, there are naturally some household registrations, and the adults can borrow from there. If they say that the little people are illiterate, they are afraid that they will not be able to go to the yamen, and I hope they can forgive me."

After saying that, he ignored Wang Lan and returned to the fishermen. Seeing that Wang Lan was defeated, the fishermen laughed and laughed.

Wang Lan followed Yang Zaixing's letter instructions to learn from Quanzhou Port, and all ships were in and out of the case to avoid smuggling and to eliminate the troubles of sea bandits. Unexpectedly, this troublemaker would come out and discuss the law of the king with him. He laughed furiously: "Hahaha, it's such a sharp mouth, and you'll be foolish. But since I have issued an order, I have to do it in fact. This is why the county magistrate is worse than the county magistrate. What is Wenchang County? Even when I arrived at Qiongzhou Prefecture, Long Suiyun was just right, let alone you wait! Within five days, Wang was waiting in the yamen. If it took more than half a day, don't blame me for being ruthless!" After saying that, he left.

The fishermen looked at each other, not knowing the depth of the official position, but looked at the fishermen who stood out: "Brother Liu, you can only know the words here. What is this Lord Wang saying? You should take out a charter and don't let our family suffer."

The fisherman named Liu was stunned and said for a while: "Mr. Lin misunderstood. How could this Lord Wang force him to leave? Forget it, Liu was forced to leave by Lord Lin. Qinglan was left to wait for you to make a living. Liu could not go to the yamen of the Marketing Department, so naturally he would not stay here for a long time. If everyone had no strength, he would go to the yamen to get a Chinese yamen. This Lord Wang was not easy to share with him!"

After Wang Lan returned to the yamen, she had already informed Ruan Li and quickly led the navy to Qinglan Port south. The guys were so bored on the sea that they could only go to Qiongzhou Port to buy one boat every day. Everyone wanted to go, but where could they? Now that they got news from Qiongzhou Port, they were overjoyed and then sailed south. They arrived at Qinglan Port within a day.

But it took three days for the news to come. Almost no one went to the yamen to register in the first two days. On the evening of the third day, seven 500-stone boats sailed into Qinglan Port, the same color, the same style, plus the large "Jin" flag on the sails, and the uniform clothing of the personnel on the ship. In the eyes of the fishermen, they didn't know: this is not a fishing boat or a merchant ship, but a real majestic army on the water! The fishermen have seen many boats on the sea, but hundreds of men on the ship hold guns and flags.

The first attempt was to clean up. When the navy ship passed by the fishing boat, it was like a group of tall and rough men passing by a group of young children. From a high place, the fishermen realized the meaning of Wang Lan's previous words. On the fourth day, the crowds of people at the yamen were crowded, and local fishermen arrived one by one. The newly arrived navy dressed neatly and acted as guards to guide and queued up the fishermen to register one by one. From time to time, someone rode horses to go with the fishermen to various piers. The boat name or number was painted on the hull for identification.

Liu Ruhai, the magistrate of Wenchang County, had already heard from Long Suiyun. He knew that the Jincheng Shipbuilding Department would settle in Qinglan Port, but he had discussed with the former head Lord Lin for a long time. He was roughly instigating the fishermen to make trouble, drive away the merchants from the sea, and then reported to Qiongzhou Prefecture. Long Suiyun reported to the court and drove these monks from afar back to Hebei. The two of them had made a fortune together for many years, and each of them could not earn less than ten thousand yuan each year. However, this newcomer may not be like this. Therefore, Liu Ruhai once said to Lord Lin: "Hebei barbarians, do you know what kind of sea trade? Even if you have seen some wind and waves on the river, they are just small fish and shrimps. You are a little scared. You will be killed and drive away the matter!"

I didn't know that Wang Lan came out of the Yue family's army. I've never seen any big battle. After a few words, I suppressed the fierce fishermen, but then the army was over. In Wenchang County, it seemed that the largest force was not the county government office, but the municipal government office! Look at the twenty or thirty officials under his command, and the large and small police officers were less than 200. The more than ten official ships patrolling the sea were more than 1,000. Liu Ruhai was frightened. On the fifth day of Wang Lan's appointment, Liu Ruhai hurriedly took him. The soldiers in the yamen were still energetic, and they took the courage to go to the Maritime Office to visit Wang Lan. However, they saw the crowds of people in front of the yamen, and the fast horses were in and out like the wind, but they were in order. When they saw the military soldiers under Ruan Li, they were so scared that their legs were weak: Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Qiongzhou Prefecture has probably not seen so many soldiers and horses, let alone such elite naval forces? Not to mention the ground of Qiongzhou, even the Song Dynasty is today. Apart from the three towns along the river, I am afraid that the rest of the prefectures have no such naval forces!

"Mr. Wang went to Wenchang to take up his new position, but even Liu did not come far away to welcome him. It was so rude. Please forgive me!" After entering the yamen, the show was different. The first person in the Song Dynasty was to solve the problem, including so many soldiers. However, Wang Lan did not like the noise and let Liu Ruhai go to the back yamen alone. Liu Ruhai passed by hundreds of elite soldiers, and the only official power had already disappeared. The 200 village braves he brought were even less reliable. When he saw Wang Lan, he apologized in a low voice.

Wang Lan was amused, but laughed generously: "Haha, Lord Liu is so polite. Although this Maritime Warehouse Department is not under the jurisdiction of the local government, it has set up a yamen on Lord Liu's territory. From then on, Lord Liu still needs to help some fishermen the day before yesterday. They don't know the laws of the court and beat officials of the Maritime Warehouse Department. They don't know which place the place is under the jurisdiction of Lord Liu at this time, and will it be handled by our Maritime Warehouse Department?"

Liu Ruhai only had half a sentence when he saw the polite words. Even if he was asking for guilt, he knew that Lord Wang was not a good person, so he dared not force himself. After a while, he bowed and said, "Mr. Wang will deal with it. The subordinates have no objection, no objection. These fishermen have lived in the long term and do not know the king's laws. They must use severe punishments to make them afraid. The subordinates have no rules to govern the county and will affect the subordinates. They are really guilty!"

Wang Lan originally did not intend to give him a good look. There were so many fence-bearing people in the Song Dynasty, so how could this person be seen in this person? He was just seeing that he was so respectful and humble and cautious, and he didn't hit the smiley person. He couldn't find an excuse to start, so he had to give up, but he turned to a harmonious voice: "As for the long-term residence, the people's geography must be well known. If you want Wenchang County to flourish in the future, you must work together with the Song Dynasty to govern each other. Why should you be polite? If you ask Lord Liu for advice, please give me some advice!"

When Liu Ruhai went out of the yamen, his single clothes were wet, and there was a water stain behind his official robe. Since then, he did not dare to ask about civil affairs along the ports, and he left them to Wang Lan to take care of them. The fishermen who boldly beat Wang Lan on that day fled early. When the port was neutral, they were much cleaner. So they widely publicized in various ports of Qiongzhou, Guangzhou Prefecture, Leizhou Prefecture, Quanzhou, Lin'an and other places that the Jincheng Shipbuilding Department had settled in Qinglan Port, Qiongzhou. After that, whenever overseas cargo ships arrived here, they would charge a tax of 100% per stone or 2000 silver coins, which was far less than 10% of the goods. As long as they passed through Qinglan Port, they would not have to pay taxes when they went to other ports, they would not have to pay taxes. They would have to take advantage of the small amount of tax collectors' land at the wharf.

As soon as the news came out, in less than a few days, passenger ships from all over the country were gradually gathering in Qinglan Port. There were more than ten ships entering and leaving every day, with taxes ranging from 200 to 3000 yuan. It was no wonder that everyone wanted to do this! It turned out that the chief was just a little move, and it earned 200,000 yuan a year. Only then did Wang Lan realize his anger when he left.

Yang Zaixing received the report, so he ordered Ruan Li to practice the navy inside and outside Qinglan Port, and to be familiar with all kinds of underwater wars on the ship. In addition, he sent more than ten disciples under Guo Blacksmith and dozens of boxes of goods with his wife. Wang Lan and Ruan Li were puzzled, but the visitor led a large ship to the sea to a lonely reef far away from the port, and handed over the things in the box to assemble them one by one. In less than an hour, a set of catapults were installed. However, the difference from the Jincheng catapult was that this machine could launch "iron duck eggs!"

Seeing that the assembly was completed, Ruan Li didn't know the depth, but was afraid that this thing would explode on the boat, so she led the navy to escape from the two places at the bow and tail of the boat. However, the disciples of Guo's blacksmith laughed so much that they loaded the latest "iron duck egg" weighing less than a pound on the catapult. After igniting the lead, the five people on the side exerted force, and a long pole bounced high, throwing the "iron duck egg" far away. It exploded in the pile of reefs five hundred steps away. At a loud bang, the reefs were flying around, and the waters and rocks covered several meters in a radius. Ruan Li and the navy were dumbfounded: If the opposite side was not a reef, but a ship, but it was not a boat that had already collapsed!

"General Ruan, the villain came here to be ordered to give a trial of the 'Jincheng Boat Cannon'. Lord Yang ordered that this cannon would be a big deal for Tianhe. After that, it must be done and should not be used lightly. He still sent villains to the commander's order!" The craftsman in the head bowed and reported to Ruan Li, and Ruan Li was overjoyed: "Where can the navy have such a powerful weapon? Where can I go in the world? Haha, boys, practice water diligently, and go to Southeast Asia soon!"

But having said that, these navy troops were not familiar with the water routes, and since then they gradually moved away from Qinglan Port to train troops until their first trip to Southeast Asia.
Chapter completed!
