Regarding Su Yonglin's historical feelings and humanistic feelings, as the person in charge of finance, Lin Jingchun put forward some opinions that belong to financial personnel.
"Yue Fei is certainly a hero, but there is no need for us to go to such great lengths to help him arrange his funeral, right? After all, he is also a general loyal to the feudal emperor. Although his moral character is really good, I don't think he can be manipulated by us on such a large scale. In terms of propaganda, in the final analysis, he also suppressed peasant uprisings, which is stained."
Su Yonglin sighed, smiled at Lin Jingchun, and explained why he did this.
“Even if a soldier has shortcomings and has done wrong things, he is still a soldier. No matter how perfect a fly is, he is still just a fly. To evaluate a person, you cannot divorce yourself from the context of the times.
What's more, what we commend and publicize is not just Yue Fei, but his heroic spirit of never giving up against foreign enemies. This heroic spirit is the same as when I commend our people's heroes, but The tragedy in Yue Fei made me want to make a big show of it.
Our heroes all died on the battlefield, killed by the enemy, but Yue Fei died in the hands of his own people, in the hands of the people he wanted to protect. This is a kind of feeling that is very useless and aggrieved. Emotions.
This kind of emotion cannot be vented through simple vindication and prosecution. If the mastermind is not investigated and only the accomplices are punished, this matter cannot be completely ended.
The legacy it produces will poison our descendants for a long time, making it impossible to completely eradicate this evil quality of being cruel on the outside and cruel on the inside. I did this, I completely criticized Zhao Gou, and I wanted to completely vent this grievance.
I want to tell everyone that if you betray the will of the people, no matter who you are, I, the King of Heaven, will kneel down and confess to me and pay the price. "
Su Yonglin clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "We must hold Yue Fei up high and step Zhao Gou into the dirt so that he will be infamous for thousands of years. He will become the most shameful and filthy representative and he will never be remembered." Turn over, and in this way, this unjust case can be truly settled."
Lin Jingchun began to somewhat understand Su Yonglin's approach.
“Is this meaningful for future generations?”
"It's very meaningful. We must let them know that when they shed blood and sacrifice on the front line for the welfare of the people, we will never let them shed a tear."
Su Yonglin's eyes became extremely cold: "Whoever dares to stab a hero in the back will be doomed to death. Even the King of Heaven can't save him, I said so!"
This kind of evil gene should never remain in China's genes. It must be eliminated without leaving any trace.
Zhao Gou, he caused the cause and the result, so all of this must be put to an end from him.
Lin Jingchun thought about it seriously and seemed to understand it, but he didn't seem to understand it very well.
He still prefers to make money. Everything needs money. Without money, nothing can be done.
So he could only shake his head and put all this behind his head.
"Chairman, I will go to Quanzhou next, and then to Guangzhou. The city has just stabilized, and now there are many things that need me to solve. I have to go directly, and I have to go to Lin'an to find Shen Gai... Things are quite good. Many."
"Need help?"
Su Yonglin put away his emotions and said, "If necessary, I will arrange for the Third Division to set up branches in Quanzhou and Guangzhou in advance to implement the Ming Law first."
"It is very necessary, and the government and the Renaissance branch organizations should also move in simultaneously to fully grasp, establish and manage the administration and justice of these two places. Only in this way can the local areas be completely controlled."
Lin Jingchun said: "You are right, those merchants are really lawless and bloodthirsty masters. There have been people who dared to fight against the Ming Dynasty Navy before. Now a group of people have been killed, and they have become honest for the time being. But now the situation in Quanzhou and Guangzhou is quite tense."
"It's necessary to be nervous. Dealing with them calmly will only make them angry. If you make them afraid, they will do business honestly and pay taxes to us."
Su Yonglin sneered and said: "The staff will give you a warrant when the time comes. The naval garrisons in Quanzhou and Guangzhou will fully cooperate with you. After a while, I will send a team of musketeers over to teach them a severe lesson.
Remember, don’t worry that they will hate us. The hatred of businessmen is meaningless, but the hatred of a country controlled by businessmen is meaningful. If we don’t scare them, they will never do business honestly. "
"I see."
Lin Jingchun smiled: "Although I have never been on the battlefield, I have found a lot of corrupt officials. If you want to get benefits from me, you must play by our rules honestly. We were beaten by the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty before. This time, I want to take back all my capital and profits."
Before departure, Su Yonglin also arranged for Lin Jingchun to be appointed as the Disposal Envoy of Quanzhou and Guangzhou Shipping Departments.
In addition to the Ministry of Finance, these two crucial shipping departments were also handed over to Lin Jingchun. In order to facilitate his work, Su Yonglin also handed over very key powers to him.
Lin Jingchun took away almost more than a quarter of the Ministry of Finance officials, which can be called an economic march on a large scale.
At the same time as Lin Jingchun took action, Su Yonglin arranged for the imperial staff and the Renaissance Society's Organization Department to select judicial officials, administrative officials and Renaissance Society cadres to organize teams, preparing to fully enter Quanzhou and Guangzhou to exercise power.
They will copy all the administrative and judicial rules of the Ming Dynasty to Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and carry out a series of transformations in Quanzhou and Guangzhou, making the two "cosmopolitan cities" of Quanzhou and Guangzhou dyed with the color of the Ming Dynasty.
If the work is done well, Quanzhou and Guangzhou will also become important ports for the Ming Dynasty's external propaganda and even export of values, and become the vanguard of foreign expansion.
It was the end of February in the sixth year of Hongwu, and almost three months had passed since the Weihai Navy landed and military took control of Quanzhou and Guangzhou.
In three months, Su Yonglin also took the time to sort out the Ming army's garrison issues in Jiangnan.
In addition to the 30,000 You Yi Army stationed at Gaoting Mountain near Lin'an, there are also 500 elite Ming Army soldiers stationed at the Ming Guo Office in Lin'an City.
Then there are Quanzhou and Guangzhou. Because these two places are mature ports, Su Yonglin arranged for the Weihai Navy and the Pinghai Navy to detach ordinary troops to garrison there.
Quanzhou was handed over to the Weihai Navy for garrison, and Guangzhou was handed over to the Pinghai Navy for garrison, temporarily turning the two major garrison locations of the Ming Navy Navy into four major garrison locations.
At the same time as the garrison, the regular troops of the Weihai Navy and the Heping Navy also took on the task of temporarily controlling Quanzhou and Guangzhou. They implemented military control over the two places, especially the port closure policy, and temporarily closed the ports until all problems were resolved. open.
Under the deterrence of the bright steel swords and black artillery of the Ming army, no one in the two ports had any objections, and neither did the people in the main city.
Those who had objections were dealt with, and those who were not dealt with naturally did not dare to raise objections.
All counties and cities in the state were taken over by the Ming army for defense, and roadblocks were set up on various transportation arteries to achieve comprehensive control over Quanzhou and Guangzhou.
This strict control lasted until early February of the sixth year of Hongwu.
Because more and more foreign businessmen and Jiangnan merchants requested the Ming army to open up ports and roads and restore free circulation, the Weihai Navy, which actually controlled Quanzhou and Guangzhou, requested instructions from the Central Government.
Su Yonglin took the time to deal with many matters after the second war between the Ming and Song Dynasties. After the arrangements were almost done, he started to deal with the problems in Quanzhou and Guangzhou.
