"It's so beautiful!" In the gathering area of the Ming people, a businessman with a bit of literary temperament looked at this scene drunkenly and sighed.

His exclamation woke up the other people who were stunned by the sight of the cannonballs, and they screamed and ran into the house, and in a short time a large number of people poured out, carrying buckets and basins, and running to the east.

"What is this for?" Wenqing businessmen are a little unclear, so why don't they stop and stay at such a beautiful and spectacular scenery? He expressed puzzlement.

"Look at your size, why don't you go and put out the fire, the fire is about to spread, I remember that your shop is on the edge, the first to suffer, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, one of the businessmen in the argument just now slapped the Wenqing businessman on the head and roared angrily.

"Oh, ah!" The Wenqing businessman was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted, "Goods, my goods, Sanzai, what the hell are you doing in a daze, go and put out the fire!" He shouted and ran along.

Seeing that in this case, the ships in the port are estimated to be wiped out, but there are still some shops and warehouses in the residential area, so they can't let the fire that spreads to burn down.

"I don't know which country's Westerners the damn it's from, they suffered a loss in trade or had a conflict with Japan, and they actually bombarded Nagasaki and made Lao Tzu's goods gone, it's really fucking unlucky." The Wenqing merchant ran with a basin, and suddenly remembered the fleet he saw when he set off from Tianjin Port, and a strange thought popped up in his mind.

"I don't know about the loss this time, can I ask the naval fleet to come forward and help get back from the Japanese or the perpetrators, it seems that when paying the customs duties, people say that they have been wronged and lost, they can come to the embassy and ask for help. But what kind of official position is this embassy, and where is there an embassy in Japan? ”

The fire spread from Nagasaki Prefecture, one after another, burning along the buildings, but fortunately, the Daming residential area did not suffer from the baptism of shells, and did not catch fire from the inside, as long as the fire spread from the east.

"Quick, quickly dismantle this place, make a barrier, and the fire won't spread." At the junction, there was a merchant with a good temperament who was directing, asking everyone to splash water, demolish the building, and make a blank space to bring it.

Countless merchants, workers, and Japanese civilians are desperately trying to rescue, some for the reward of the Ming people, and some for the sake of keeping their shops, all of which are very hard.

"Brother Sun!" When the young merchant saw the commander, he went over to say hello.

"Oh, it's you, Brother Li, quick, take your people to take a look, your store has been saved, see if the goods are missing." This eldest brother Sun obviously knows this young businessman, and he is very enthusiastic.

"Okay, I'll take a look." The young merchant let his men fight the fire here together, and went in to count it himself.

After a while, he came out and came to Brother Sun's side, "Thank you Brother Sun, I have no shortage of goods." ”

"It's good that it's not less, I've been watching here all the time, and no one dares to take advantage of the chaos to rob." Brother Sun laughed. After a while, a lot of businessmen gathered here, including a few people who had just argued.

Some businessmen also wanted to come along, but they were pulled by the other people next to them and nodded at the leading Brother Sun, who weighed it in his heart and didn't come.

Obviously, these people are not weighty enough, and those who dare to go over are all people with deep backgrounds and intricate relationships.

Since Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou opened to the sea, Ming merchants have attacked everywhere and come out openly, and Japan's closest overseas place to the Ming Dynasty is naturally the first choice to earn the first pot of gold. Of course, there are also businessmen from North Korea here, but it is clear that with their status, they will not be able to join this circle.

A group of people with extraordinary backgrounds gathered together, looking at this place of artillery fire with concern, they did not dodge, it was obvious that the attackers deliberately avoided the place where they lived, either because they had scruples about them, or because they had scruples about Da Ming, but no matter which one it was, they were secretly glad to be happy.

"It's really miserable over there, the fire is continuous, I don't know how many houses have been set on fire, and those churches, all of them have been razed to the ground, and the priests inside have died." Brother Sun just came over from there and told what he saw, "If it weren't for my sharp eyes, I saw that there was a lot less artillery fire here, so I ran back quickly, I'm afraid I would have died over there." ”

"But it's also a coincidence, I just saw the fire stretching over, so I organized these scattered people to put out the fire and isolate it, otherwise our place will also be burned, Brother Li is also lucky, if the elder brother is a little later, your store will be gone." Brother Sun said meaningfully.

"Haha, then thank you Brother Sun." Although Wen Qing Li is a businessman from time to time, his brain is not stupid, how can he not understand the meaning of the other party, obviously he wants to sell well. But this is good, if he is really burned, he will have no money, at least the family has no money to support him to come out to do business.

"I don't know which force did it this time, it's really bold!" A group of merchants watched the fire from the other side, looking at the burning Nagasaki, and couldn't help but discuss.

At this time, there were also many high-ranking officials and nobles who saw that it was obviously much safer here, and they also ran over under the escort of their subordinates, including Western merchants, local samurai, officials and other upper-class personnel.

"Hmph, if you let me know who did it this time, I'll definitely cut off his head!" When a Japanese samurai heard the discussion, he shouted in an unfamiliar Daming official dialect, and after that, he also drew the katana at his waist and slashed in the air, looking fierce and vicious.

"We must thoroughly investigate which country is so bold!" A Portuguese merchant next to him also shouted in horror, shouting that the governor of Manila would take revenge. Of course, he was ignored, he only understood Chinese, but he couldn't speak, and there was no local interpreter.

"Hehe, what a big breath!" The Chinese merchant quit, enraged by the samurai's words, and Brother Sun stepped forward.

This batch of businessmen is completely different from before, in the past, they were all smuggled out by coastal clans to do business, secretly, and the relationship was inextricably linked, and there was no tough backstage, but now it is different, the Ming country is half seen, and it is not forbidden for all kinds of people to go to sea, so many officials have no land, they will set their sights on overseas trade, they themselves dare not go to the sea, but the clansmen have nothing to do with each other, and they are inseparable from their own benefits, and it is obvious that this Brother Sun is one of them.

"Why, do you know who did it?" The status of this warrior is obviously not low, and when he heard Brother Sun's words, he looked over, and his fierce eyes made Brother Sun's scalp numb, and the cold air rose from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirits on his head.

"Hold on, you have to hold on!" Brother Sun shouted in his heart, if he is frightened away at this time, let alone the scheming in his heart, I am afraid that he will become the laughing stock of all businessmen in the future, and he will also lose this hard-won opportunity.

"Hehe, what if this is the work of the Ming Navy fleet?" Brother Sun stiffened his head, maintained his demeanor, and spit out such a sentence.

As soon as this sentence came out, not only the samurai and the Western merchants who escaped were shocked, but even the Ming merchants themselves screamed in shock.

"Impossible!"

"How so?"

"It is absolutely impossible for the Ming army to do it."

All of them were unbelievable. If it is said that the barbarians in the north, they believe that the Ming Dynasty must be very resolute and decisive, and they will do everything, and they will not be able to reach their own territory.

However, this overseas has always been regarded as a place of transformation by the government, and Wanli only sent an envoy to warn about a massacre in Manila, which is certainly not enough, but it is one of the reasons why it does not pay attention to it and understates it.

Although the country has been opened up and allowed to do business, it is still unacceptable for them to believe that this is the work of the empire.

"Baga Ya Road! It turned out to be your Ming army's doing! The samurai was furious, drew his sword and tried to rush at him. The Japanese don't have much awe for the Ming Dynasty, and they are not afraid of the Ming merchants at all, just like the fire!

It's just that at this time, there are a few people who dare to go to sea to do business, and they are not embarrassed to come out to do business without a few people who can fight, so for a while, the sonorous sword out of the sheath is everywhere, and the samurai are few, and they are surrounded by Ming merchants.

"You ..... you very well, I will report to the general and punish you for your evil deeds one by one!" The samurai was furious, but he didn't dare to do anything, he couldn't beat these dozens of times the enemy in Shenyong!

"Discipline us? Let's think about how you can save your lives! Brother Sun sneered.

And just then, the shelling stopped, and everyone felt it almost at the same time, the sky lit up, and the projection of countless lead bullets disappeared, allowing the sun to reappear.

"You wait." The samurai didn't say anything, and hurriedly left here with his only few men, who were the managers of the place, and had to arrange for people to rescue the fire, and by the way, see how much damage could be recovered.

"Brother Sun, is it really the so-called empire?" Wen Qing Li couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, when did the government have such courage."

"That's right, this fierce artillery fire should be Westerners."

Faced with these questions, Brother Sun smiled slightly, did not return, but instead smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Wenqing Li Shang, and said, "Empire, this is a good name!" ”

Wen Qing Li Shang is a little confused, so I don't know what is wrong with calling him the empire? Aren't cousins and uncles called that?

When the other businessmen heard this, they all came back to their senses, and looked at the Wenqing businessman with admiration, looking like they were all silent, which made him even more inexplicably strange.

"Okay, everyone wants to know, it's good to come with me for a visit in the evening, I just saw it when I ran for my life, and I vaguely caught a glimpse of what seemed to be the sun and moon flags hanging on those ships." Brother Sun concluded.

"Visiting at night?" Many businessmen were shocked, "Isn't this matter over?" ”

"It's not over, it's far from over." Brother Sun muttered to himself and looked in the direction of the port, "Brother Li is willing to go with Big Brother." ”

"I want to go!" Wenqing merchant nodded and said, if it is really the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, with his own background, how can he get a little compensation, this is the first time he has come out, and he really can't lose money!

"Go together, go together!" The other merchants also thought of this, and made an appointment to go together in the evening.
