"Really?" Young Master Zhao couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Didn't you say last time that your father urged you to marry her off?"

"Oh, that was my father's last words..." Lin Daoqian wanted to say that it was my father's last words, but he thought that since he had made such a great contribution, the court would definitely give my father a title. Wouldn't it be exposed by then?

So he quickly changed the topic and said, "My father's dying brother entrusted her to my father's only daughter. Although she was adopted, my father always treated her as his own daughter, and he treated her more dearly than his own sister, right, Ah Feng..."

Lin Feng rolled her eyes when she heard this. Well, she just changed her father. She was so angry that she kicked Lin Daoqian hard on the butt.

"Oh..." Lin Daoqian silently endured the blow, and smiled while enduring the severe pain in his buttocks: "This girl has been so disrespectful since she was a child."

"You two have a really good relationship as siblings." Zhao Hao was the ancestor of bullshit, so how could he not hear that Lin Daoqian was talking nonsense? He laughed and said, "By the way, I heard that General Lin got on the pirate ship of the red-haired ghost. How did he return safely?"

"Oh, my dear, I almost couldn't see you!" Lin Daoqian then remembered that he was here to show off his achievements, so his eyes turned red and he choked up and said, "This time, I was in danger of death, and there was no hope of survival!"

As he said this, he told Zhao Hao how he was called aboard the Duke of Goa and had the command of the fleet taken away from him. He took the opportunity to talk to his subordinates and instructed them to be sure to pass on the news that the Red Haired Devils were going to attack Qing'ao Bay to the young master.

"Well, I heard all this from that black man called 'Water Wanderer'." Zhao Hao nodded in approval, "Your move was crucial. It allowed the base to be well prepared and also gave the Coast Guard fleet a chance to annihilate the enemy in Shen'ao Bay. It was definitely a great achievement!"

"Thank you, sir. It's great that I can help you." Lin Daoqian thanked him happily, but he still said with lingering fear: "But on the Duke of Goa, we were almost shot by our own people, and finally we were forced to jump into the sea..."

"That was really dangerous. I apologize on behalf of Wang Rulong and the others. Sorry, sorry." Zhao Hao smiled apologetically, "But they don't know which ship you are on either. Ignorance is the best, so I can't judge them."

In fact, even if they knew, they would still fire the cannon. They can't just stop eating hairy pigs without Wang the butcher, right?

"No, no, I have no intention of complaining. I am just describing the thrill." Lin Daoqian quickly spoke up for Wang Rulong and the others, "In war, swords and guns have no eyes. I understand that."

"This is a very high level of awareness!" Young Master Zhao praised, "General Lin is a man who can accomplish great things."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir." Lin Daoquan became even more delighted and told Zhao Hao everything that happened at sea, adding some exaggeration to it.

He was a good speaker, and when he talked about the need to eat shipworms to survive, Zhao Hao almost vomited on the spot.

Lin Daoqian emphasized his difficulties in order to win sympathy. But he needed the young master's appreciation more, so he emphasized that he did not forget his original intention and mission in the most difficult times. Finally, when the Portuguese ran out of ammunition and food and their ships were seriously flooded, he asked them to go to Xiawei for supplies and repairs, and then caught the turtle in the jar in Xiawei!

"Well, General Lin is brave, resourceful, and loyal. He is truly a pillar of the Southeast!" Zhao Hao praised him generously. Of course, he also had to be practical, so he generously said, "Since you captured the Pena, you can use it as your ship after it is repaired."

"Oh, sir, you can't do that. This is a national treasure..." Lin Daoquan fully witnessed the power of the sailing ship this time, and quickly declined sensibly.

"Alas, as the future deputy general of Guangdong, how can he control the Pearl River Estuary without a magnificent ship?" Zhao Hao waved his hand, and the matter was settled.

"Then I would like to thank you for your reward, sir!" Lin Daoquan nodded and bowed in gratitude, almost kneeling down to Zhao Hao.

Lin Feng looked down on the Gareles because she valued mobility and speed, and naturally did not like the bulky caravel. But Lin Daoqian was different. He needed this kind of tall, sturdy, and imposing warship to consolidate his position at sea.

There is no best, only the most suitable.

"If you have any other requests, please let me know." Zhao Hao was in a good mood and gave a generous reward: "We will be leaving Nan'ao Island in a few days, so it will be inconvenient to assign some things to you."

"Master, there's me too!" How could Lin Feng miss such a good thing? He immediately shouted. "It was obviously me who came first!"

"Okay, you bring it up first." Zhao Hao said with a doting smile.

"Master, I only want to ask for one thing - my brothers and I want to work as coast guards, so please help us!" Lin Feng said crisply.

Although she said it lightly, she had actually discussed it with Ma Yishan and his men for a long time.

Although this means losing some freedom, the benefits of joining the Coast Guard are too tempting. In addition to receiving generous treatment, excellent equipment, and strong protection, there is also someone to take care of the brothers' birth, old age, sickness, and death. I heard that even their families can get a lot of benefits.

Although Zhao Hao had never taught them, the brothers under Lin Feng had all learned about these fantastic benefits from the coast guard gunners who fought side by side with them, and their souls had long been hooked by the coast guard force.

In fact, most pirates cannot survive on land and go to the sea to risk their lives to make a living. How many of them do it purely for the thrill?

Lin Feng and the other leaders knew very well that after knowing these things, it would be difficult to lead the team in the future. Even if they distributed most of the stolen goods to their subordinates, they would still be compared with the coast guard and despised by them.

Unless she also gives her subordinates a fixed high salary every month, and increases it every year. And she has to take care of their birth, old age, sickness and death for the rest of their lives... Dream on, how can such a thing be possible?

Instead of waiting until people become demoralized and full of complaints, it is better to proactively accept reorganization and take advantage of this opportunity to sell at a good price.

The reason why she did not discuss it with Lin Daoquan in advance was because her eldest brother's men had already accepted the amnesty and came ashore, so he had no right to ask her men to continue to be thieves.

So Lin Daoqian was only slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled bitterly and started speaking for Lin Feng, praising this sister who always had her own opinions to the highest degree, like the Jade Dragon on the sea.

"Well..." Zhao Hao pretended to be silent for a moment, and then said to Lin Feng seriously: "In fact, the Coast Guard is not a good choice for you, because the construction direction of this armed force is 'loyalty and reliability, military excellence, good style, strict discipline, and strong support'. Your people are used to freedom. If you want to integrate into it, it will be like washing your bones and marrow, and the pain you have to go through is needless to say. Moreover, it will be completely unrecognizable in the future, and you will feel very unfamiliar."

Lin Feng listened carefully to what Zhao Hao said. She could feel the sincerity in her master's words. If it were someone else, they would never say such deep words.

"I know your thoughts and concerns." Zhao Hao smiled and suggested, "In fact, it is also a good choice to follow Sister Huaixiu's model. Let's jointly set up a Nanyang Shipping Company. All your team members will be retained, and the group will only send people to guide and supervise. Isn't this much easier?"

After a pause, he said gently: "Don't worry, I will treat everyone equally."

"Yes, Ah Feng, just listen to the Master." Lin Daoqian was hoping that Lin Feng would choose this, so that she could have a relatively independent armed force like himself. The brother and sister would support each other, and their positions would be very stable whether within the group or on the South China Sea.

"No, I want to be the main force and lead the elite. I will never be a secondary line!" Lin Feng shook his head decisively and said, "Besides, playing small calculations will harm the brothers!"

"..." Lin Daoquan felt a pain on his face.

"Haha, okay, but you can't just join the Coast Guard if you want to. Even ordinary police officers must first go to the Coast Guard School on Jeju Island for a year, pass the assessment at the end of the term, and get a diploma before they can join the Coast Guard."

"We are not afraid of hardship!" Lin Feng acted decisively. Once she decided on something, she would not give up until she achieved her goal. She gritted her teeth and said, "I will take the lead in going to school!"

"If you want to be a police officer, it will take more than just one year." Zhao Hao deliberately tried to temper her temper and said, "It will take at least two years to graduate. If you can't keep up with the progress, you may have to stay in school for three years. Can you bear it?"

"Yes!" Lin Feng nodded decisively, "I will definitely graduate with the first place, because I am Master's disciple!"

"Uh..." How could Zhao Hao not hear that her words had two meanings? One was that she would not embarrass her master, and the other was that the school would not dare to embarrass her master either, so who would dare to rank ahead of her?

"Don't even think about asking me to help you through the back door." Teacher Zhao glared at her and said, "I'm the principal of the Coast Guard School. All of them are my students. I will definitely treat them equally!"

"That disciple is also different from others. I am the master's only female disciple." Lin Feng then used the method of acting coquettishly.

"So I will be stricter with you, so as not to embarrass you." Zhao Hao said with a straight face: "Don't rush to say it. I will ask the police to go to your place to preach the 'Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention'. If you can abide by it, I will agree to enroll you. If you feel that you can't abide it, don't force yourself, because once you enroll, there will be stricter rules and regulations, and the consequences of violating them will be very serious."

"I know, I know. We can dig coal in chicken coops." Lin Feng nodded rapidly, and it seemed that he was determined.

In fact, it is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to get a general. After witnessing her genius in naval warfare, Chen Huaixiu, Wang Rulong and others strongly recommended Lin Feng to Zhao Hao, hoping to recruit her as a general of the Coast Guard.

Moreover, Lin Feng can train his men to be as flexible as his own arms and to be able to move freely on the battlefield, which also shows that they already have good qualities. This is indeed a very good supplement for the coast guard force which is in urgent need of expansion to cope with more severe challenges in the future.
