Chapter 15                                                             �

Zhou Mengchen and his group left the Lu family.

Come to the bank of Wusong River.

Now, most of the banks of the Wusong River have been opened into ports, but it is still silent because it is the cemetery of the Lu family. Lu Yi's father moved the ancestral tomb from his hometown to here and set up a new door.

With the strength of the Lu family, even if all of them are urban areas in the future, they can still maintain this cemetery. Not to mention, Shanghai's development has not yet reached this point.

After Zhou Mengchen commemorated his old friends, he stood on a pavilion high in the cemetery and looked around, the rolling Wusong River was around. The dense ships in the distance were reflected in the bustling streets and alleys. It seemed that someone could draw a picture of Shanghai's prosperity from this angle.

Zhou Mengchen said: "This is a good scenery."

Lu Yan immediately stepped forward and said, "It was because my grandfather saw the scenery here that he decided to choose this place as my Lu family's cemetery."

Zhou Mengchen nodded and said, "Lin Feng."

Lin Feng, who was standing among the group, immediately came out and said respectfully: "Goodbye to the Lord."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Do you know who I am?"

Lin Feng immediately said, "The villain has no eyes, so please punish him."

Zhou Mengchen smiled slightly and said, "Those who don't know are innocent. You and I are destined to be destined to do so. For Mr. Lu's sake, what are you doing? Tell me."

Lin Feng was stunned. He didn't know whether to say or not, so he could only look at Lu Yan. Lu Yan said, "Teacher, let me say it, just say it."

Lin Feng said: "My lord see Wanli. This time I came back, of course, it was a marriage, but there was one thing that must be resolved. Otherwise, I would not be able to support it in Nanyang for long. I was not familiar with the place in Nanyang. The key to suppressing all parties was artillery. The artillery of various countries in Nanyang cannot be compared with the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Western-style firearms are sharp, but there are too few people. I dare not waste it with us. Only then can the situation be maintained. However, over time, the artillery brought from China has been consumed almost the same. New artillery and gunpowder must be supplemented. Otherwise, I can't stay in Nanyang, so I came to Shanghai to find a way."

Lu Yan knew Lin Feng’s thoughts.

Whether Lu Yan has the ability to get artillery for Lin Feng is of course there are. Not anything else. Just relying on Zhou Mengchen's name as a disciple, Lu Yan can get artillery powder, but it is one thing to get it. Whether the Lu family is willing to take this risk for Lin Feng is indeed another question.

It should be noted that there has been a ban on overseas artillery.

Unless the court directly sells cannons to one party, there is no such possibility for private individuals. Moreover, Lu Yan does not absolutely believe in Lin Feng. Even if he marrys the daughter of the Lu family to Lin Feng, he is not without complaints in his heart.

After all, Lin Feng was a pirate for a while. For a large family and an official family like the Lu family, this experience is particularly dazzling. Not to mention, even from the perspective of the happiness of the Lu family, marrying a former officer who was born into a pirate may not be very happy.

Lu Yan did not object because his father's order was difficult to violate.

Lu Yan was really unwilling to let the Lu family take such a big risk for Lin Feng and sell the cannons.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng has not made any progress in the Lu family for so long.

When Zhou Mengchen heard this, he knew where Lin Feng’s roots were. Zhou Mengchen said, “For Mr. Lu’s part, I’ll be sure of this matter.”

Lin Feng and Lu Yan were shocked.

Lin Feng never expected Zhou Mengchen to agree, but Lu Yan didn't know why Zhou Mengchen agreed. He didn't spend long time with Zhou Mengchen. But he also knew that Zhou Mengchen never acted emotionally, especially in official affairs. Even if his father was kind to the teacher, the teacher would not be favored. It must be that he had a reason for this, but why?

He couldn't think of it for a moment.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen was not for Lu Yi. He said this, but he wanted to give face to the Lu family so that Lin Feng would not dare to neglect the Lu family's wife. Zhou Mengchen has been thinking about how to make people like Lin Feng use it for the court these days.

There are some ideas, too.

Just no entry point was found.

He actually gave up a little.

After all, he knew very well that his term would end soon, and even at this time, the imperial edicts that the court summoned him back to Beijing were on the way.

However, many things are like this. Good things get hurt, and an idea comes from being formed in the head and finally becomes policy implementation, and it is normal to delay for a period of time.

So, he didn't take it seriously.

But now that I met, I got this matter done. Zhou Mengchen said, "But the laws of the court cannot be violated. Lin Feng, do you want to return to the army?"

Lin Feng heard this and felt a burst of pain all over. He said, "I will dream of it."

This sentence is the truth.

Learning literature and martial arts, goods and imperial families. This is the thought of countless people. Lin Feng is the same.

Now he remembered that the period in Yu Dayou's army was also his most dignified period. After all, being an official and being a thief were completely different. It can be seen that he still hopes that others would call General Talin.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Let me write a letter in my hand. If you go to find Nanyang Governor Tan Lun, Tan Lun will naturally discuss with you. In the future, your fleet will be hung under the Nanyang Governor's Office. What kind of organization is it? It depends on how you talk to Tan Lun. No matter what, you will become an army outside the Ming Dynasty and have the power to purchase weapons. Naturally, there is."

Lin Feng was both happy and disappointed when he heard this.

Happy that Lin Feng heard that he would be in the Nanyang Governor's Office in the future. He thought he was not the Ming Dynasty's economic and technological master. He was similar to the armed forces of the Shimazu family under the Beiyang Governor's Office.

Have a certain degree of autonomy, but at critical moments, I also follow the command of the Beiyang Governor's Office.

In this way, it was not a problem for him to purchase cannons, gunpowder, and warships. There may be a quantity limit, but it solved the problem of existence and non-existence at least.

Moreover, the title of the government can bring a lot of benefits to Lin Feng, even if it is just a false reputation, it will be the same. No matter what, Lin Feng has made a lot of money.

The disappointment was that he never returned to the Ming Dynasty's military system.

Zhou Mengchen hurriedly wrote a letter to Tan Lun. It wrote his principles for dealing with Lin Feng. Tan Lun should use all the power overseas as much as possible, including the power of people like Lin Feng. He can selectively turn a blind eye to some things they do abroad.

And use them to bring vitality to the new overseas territory.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen only gave a principle. How Tan Lun would deal with Lin Feng and what kind of treatment he would give Lin Feng depends on Tan Lun's own thoughts.

Even if Tan Lun is too stubborn, he feels that Zhou Mengchen's idea is problematic and does not listen to hello. Zhou Mengchen has no choice.

But Zhou Mengchen probably thinks Tan Lun can't do it.

After all, everyone can see that the establishment of the Honglu Temple and the overseas places are all considered the sphere of influence of the Zhou sect, and Tan Lun's promotion also has many shadows of Zhou Mengchen. In fact, Tan Lun is also considered half of the Zhou sect.

What did he do to Zhou Mengchen? And anyone who calls him a famous general must be an extreme pragmatist. Because on the battlefield, everything is virtual. Just look at whether it is useful or not.

Now that the power of the Nanyang Governor's Office is weak, every bit of power is useful. I think he would not refuse Lin Feng's troops to join him.

After Zhou Mengchen finished writing the letter, someone naturally blew it dry, sealed it up, and handed it to Lin Feng. Lin Feng was grateful and refused to mention it.

At this time, a man suddenly ran up and said, "Mr. Zhou, just now, the news came, angels and angels have entered Shanghai, so please go and receive the order quickly."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen took a deep breath and calmed down his mood.

The angels here are naturally not birdmen with wings in Western mythology, but envoys who convey the emperor's edict.

Zhou Mengchen could be sure that this imperial edict was passed on to him to the capital.

After all, he stepped down as the governor of the six provinces, and such a major personnel appointment was to return to Beijing to report, not to mention that Zhou Mengchen was still a favorite minister of Jiajing. It was time for Zhou Mengchen to go back to Beijing for reason, both public and private.

Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "Xu Jie, what method are you thinking about to treat me outside the capital?"
