On the way back, the trial fleet also made a special trip to Busan and fired a few cannons to scare the shameful "smuggling pigs".
As a result, when we returned to Chengshan Port, it was already the tenth day of May.
The navigation log shows that since April 25, the total water distance of the return voyage from Tsugaru Strait was 1,767 kilometers. Including the previous journey, Mr. Zhao has been drifting at sea for more than a month, only staying ashore for a few nights when visiting several marine police stations.
Such a long voyage made Mr. Zhao and his two sisters feel very tired. He originally planned to rest here for a few days before talking about anything else. However, as soon as the ship docked, Chang Kaiche, the general affairs section chief of the Security Department who stayed in Xingang to receive the news, brought a series of urgent messages.
Because the fleet went to sea before, communication was very poor, especially when returning, the whole journey was not docked, so we lost contact completely for fifteen days, and basically lost contact for nearly a month
It seems that the development of wireless telegraphy must be put on the agenda. Even if it cannot be created at the moment, carrying out a series of preparatory work will be of great benefit to the development of science.
¡°Well, wire telegraphy seems simpler. Why not start it together. Anyway, the disciples have all studied electromagnetism. Let them divide their forces into two groups and study it slowly. Maybe whichever path is opened first will be of great use!

There is a row of Jiangnan-style villas behind the Tamna Garrison District Headquarters, which are dormitories for senior police officers. Jin Ke, Wang Rulong, Ma Yinglong, Tong Zigong and others all lived here.
Among them, the largest one among the stars is naturally the courtyard of the commander-in-chief of Mr. Zhao.
The sparse courtyard is surrounded by pink walls and black tiles. The carved railings in the courtyard reflect green bamboo, and the stone tables are covered with fallen flowers. Being in it makes people feel as if they have returned to their hometown, and their body and mind will be greatly relaxed.
Mr. Zhao took off his tired police robe and put on his home casual robe. He sat under the red cherry blossom tree, sipping tea and listening to Chang Kaiche¡¯s report:
"Ten days ago, I received a letter from the master. The situation in Chaozhou was very bad. The master said that he might not be able to handle it anymore. Please help me quickly."
"Oh, didn't my father say he doesn't need my help this time? Why did he change his mind so quickly?" Mr. Zhao said with some gloating. Parents always have mixed feelings about their children's growth. They are happy, but privately unwilling to accept it. The same goes for Mr. Zhao.
"Besides, with Mr. Wu and Mr. Xu, and a large group of helpers following him, what can't be done?" Mr. Zhao asked in a long voice, strangely.
"The problem the master encountered is indeed very difficult. I'm afraid it can't be solved by wisdom alone." Chang Kaiche swallowed and said: "His prefect was taken away"
"Pfft" Zhao Hao sprayed him with a sip of tea. "You, what did you say? Magistrate Hou was taken away?"
¡°As he spoke, he took a cotton handkerchief from the silver box on the table and handed it to Chang Kaiche, gesturing for him to wipe the water off his body.
"No, Magistrate Hou has been promoted to Deputy Envoy of Jiangxi Province and appointed as Ganzhou Military Preparation Road." Chang Kaiche had handkerchiefs on his hands but refused to wipe them. This is the water sprayed by the young master, how can you wipe it off? This most beautiful pattern should be preserved as a family heirloom.
"The one who takes over is Li Zuoguo. He is Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He was a counselor in the palace Oh, by the way, at the beginning of last month, Yin Zhengmao was promoted from the governor of Guangxi to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi for his contribution to pacifying Wei Yinbao. Then counselor Li was also promoted. He became the prefect of Chaozhou."
"A tall beard doesn't respect martial ethics!" Mr. Zhao felt something was wrong.
In fact, one of the reasons why he chose Chaozhou Prefecture for Mr. Zhao was that the prefect Hou Bideng was dedicated to serving the people and had an excellent official reputation. This has been verified by Hai Rui himself, and it should not be false.
And I heard from my father-in-law that Gao Gong once asked Yang Biao, the Guangdong patrol officer who was returning to Beijing on a business trip, about the official style of Guangdong Province. Yang Biao said that the officialdom in Guangdong was corrupt, and officials all colluded with profiteers and were greedy and derelict in their duties. However, "the prefect must be diligent and committed, work hard and bear no complaints, and the people will be safe." But he refused to submit to his superiors. Therefore, if you ask the people, everyone loves you; if you ask your superiors, everyone dislikes him. ¡¯
When Gao Gong heard this, he thought, "You are a fellow-minded person." Therefore, in June last year, a decree was requested to commend Hou Bideng, a good and honest and capable magistrate, and to increase his salary to the third rank, so that he could still manage the affairs of Chaozhou Prefecture.
This year, during the external inspection, Hou Bideng came to Beijing according to the order, and the Ministry of Staff recommended him as "Zhuo Yi". In the first month of the first month, he was given a python robe, a hundred coins and a banquet in the Ministry of Rites.
At this time, even a blind person can see that Hou Biden is about to be promoted. Now all the Chaozhou officials serving in the capital could not sit still Given the filthiness of Guangdong's officialdom, it was a blessing to have a magistrate in their Chaozhou Prefecture. Ninety-nine times the successor will be a disaster!
They were afraid that Hou Bideng would be transferred to another place, so they repeatedly told Gao Gong, saying: Chaozhou cannot live without a Hou Gong for a day. ¡¯
There are also Chaozhou Juren who came to Beijing to take the exam.Behind the enclosed earth building with strong character. They often become impoverished due to building fenced houses and engage in the promising side business of banditry.
Because he had committed a crime and hid in a walled house, there was nothing the government could do!
So the more houses are enclosed, the more bandits there are; the more bandits there are, the more houses are enclosed. In the end, the involution got to the point where all the mountain people lived in enclosed houses, and all the mountain people could become bandits in an instant
Li Zuoguo still dares to run into the mountains? Isn't that the same as a naked beauty running into a pervert's den?
"That's not true." Chang Kaiche agreed: "It is said that a big family issued a reward to capture him. As a result, mountain people from all over the place went out one after another, carrying torches and weapons, searching the mountains everywhere for fat sheep."
"Then what?" Zhao Hao asked.
"Then there were different opinions." Li Zuoguo spread his hands and said: "Some said he was caught and beheaded by the mountain people, and secretly received the reward with his head. Some said he ran away in the opposite direction of Guangzhou and went to Chaoyang to find Lin Daoqian. He begged him to send a ship to take him back to Guangzhou, but was killed by Lin Daoqian. But Lin Daoqian denied seeing him. Others said that he fled to the sea, hired a ship to go back to Guangzhou, but encountered pirates and was caught. Zhumai went to Nanyang to do hard work Alas, there is no news yet!"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhao had a feeling: Is this a place for people to stay? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
