Being an official is good, outsiders say enough, but being an official is tired, and Tian Shengjin feels it even deeper.

The current set of calendars of the Ming Dynasty was inherited from the previous dynasty of Dayuan, and was named "Grant Calendar" from the meaning of the ancient saying "when respecting people".

According to the account of this calendar, it is now more than half of October, the Gregorian calendar is already November, and the weather is close to midwinter, but for Tian Shengjin, the weather here in Guangzhou is really pleasant compared to his hometown of Macheng, except for a little cooler after nightfall, in fact, the temperature during the day is acceptable, which is the most comfortable time of the year.

But as mentioned before, as a provincial governor, Tian Shengjin is a worry, and since June, it seems that everything is related to one direction - Yiqing.

Guangdong is located in the south of the Tiannan, and there are many business envoys from various countries to have transportation, and since he was appointed as the governor of Guangdong, the time to deal with the Yi people in overseas China may have accounted for half of the time of the Tianyuan on weekdays.

In June, he ordered the southern capital to be deported from Guangdong, and the matter was handled by him in Guangdong, and last month a group of missionaries were escorted to Macao in wooden cages after being verified to be correct.

As for the missionaries of the Waiyi religion, especially the Taixi Yi religion, his ideas are actually similar to the views of Shen Yu, the servant of the Liudu Rite Department, who presided over the Nanjing teaching plan, and they are all regarded as cults, but it is a pity that the gentry and dignitaries and officials in the two capitals are now more and more people who believe in the Yi religion, and the so-called teaching cannot be practiced in Guangdong but can only be confused by the two capitals is Tian Shengjin's entanglement for several years, and it is also the view that he has repeatedly neglected the imperial court. Although Tian Zhiyuan does not advocate expelling or annihilating people from overseas, the eight words 'if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different' are really written on their faces.

Fortunately, these missionaries suffered a lot in the north, and they were much more honest, and they did not hear of any incidents in the days they returned to Macao.

In July, the Humen Zhai Committee official reported that Deng Quanmei had intercepted two ships claiming to be carrying tributary envoys from the Siamese State in the waters south of Guangzhou. The last time the tributary mission of the Siamese State claimed to pay tribute went to Guangzhou to set up the political secretary Kanhe was in the 41st year of Wanli, but this time the tribute was called what was the last time he returned to China and fell into the water in Qizhou Ocean and was lost, so the officials in charge did not dare to be good at it, and only intercepted the ship at sea and fought a lot of lawsuits.

Originally, the overseas wind and waves were urgent, and Fanbang had not come to the court for a long time, so it was possible that something would go wrong, but there were many doubts about the tribute ship this time, not only could it not be compared, but even the personnel on the tribute ship who returned to China last time could not be matched. But fortunately, after a careful investigation, the ins and outs of the matter were finally clear. For this reason, Tian reported to the court to explain the reason in detail, in terms of tribute alone, the Siamese tribute ship is just a routine tribute, it is precisely because of the risk at sea, so in recent years, the tribute has not been in accordance with the previous practice, the number of tributes is actually not large, but how to deal with this matter still has to wait for the meaning, in short, this year's longevity Christmas has passed, and it is impossible for these Siamese nobles to go to catch a lottery.

In August, the four-year-long Li Rebellion in Qiongzhou finally came to an end.

In the 40th year of Wanli, Yazhou hugged by and Luo Huo and the Li people rioted, and the Qiongzhong Zhutong swarmed up, and the second year of the patrol Yao Lu spoke lightly and suppressed the general Zeng Guodong's soldiers, and in November of that year, Zhang Wanji, the deputy general of the southern head of the army, and Yang Yingchun, the deputy general of Lei Lian, were defeated by the Li army in Duojian, Zhang Wanji died in battle, and the whole Qiong was shaken for a while.

Yazhou Zhizhou Lin Yingcai was uncertain, and finally the form was out of control, and Yazhou Prefecture was even besieged for a time. Fortunately, Pan Daxi, who acted as the agent of the state affairs, benefited from the disposal, and the two Guangzhou-Eighth Route armies crossed the sea to help, and finally stabilized the form of Qiongzhong last year. Last autumn, Baoyou and Luohuo Ertong were finally pacified, and the 400-zhang Le'an City was also completed, which was finally suppressed.

Then finally this year, the army returned to Guangdong, and in August, Shangping Li Gongci captured and beheaded 601 people who rebelled against Li and appeased 15,359 remnants of Li, but it would take a long time to count before it could be confirmed and reported, and the matter would not have a result until the New Year's Day.

This incident is an internal trouble, Tian Shengjin has not yet arrived in Guangdong to take up his post when the chaos broke out, and two years have passed since his arrival, but it has finally been peaceful.

Taixi, Nanyang, Li Min, Waiyi and Neiyi gathered in one place, Tian Lao Ye was afraid that there would be a matter of Yiyi changing into summer, but in July and August, there was another incident, two big ships and Siamese tribute ships came one after another, claiming to be the tribute envoy of the Bo Ni country.

The Bo Ni country is far away in the south of the South Seas, and the old man Tian searched the old files all over the old files to find a few words in the tribute records in the Jiajing period, but the king of the Bo Ni country in the Yongle period has personally been to Nanjing, and it is said that there is still a tomb of this king in the southern capital. At least the relationship between the Bo Ni State and China is not comparable to that of ordinary Fanbang, but in recent decades it has not sent tribute envoys.

And what makes Master Tian suspicious is the identity of the tribute envoy, and the Bo Ni country is naturally the same as the Siamese tribute ship, both are two tribute ships, but the difference with the Siamese tribute ship is the shape of the ship. The Siamese tribute ships are all similar to the lucky ships, and although the ships that claim to be the Bo Ni tribute envoys are also similar to the Ming ships, according to Liu Weidong, the Guangzhou City Ship Si Ti Liu Weidong and the Qing Army of Guangzhou Prefecture, Lin Youliang, who have seen these two ships in the bay mooring place on the Huangpu Sea, said that the style of these two ships is more light and slender, and it seems that they have absorbed a lot of Franc machine people's ship-making methods, and they are better and more stable to sail with the help of the wind.

And the main and deputy tributaries on this ship all look like Han Chinese, and they are more fluent in Chinese, and they are all Chinese names, but they all have hair and short clothes, if it is not for the forehead and the head is not shaved, it is not credible to say that it is a Japanese coward.

But although this group of people does not seem to know Chinese etiquette, they do things differently from other people, and according to them, there are Spanish people from abroad who are now entrenched in Luzon. In the seventh year of Wanli, Xiyi swept in the Bo mud country, the Bo mud king fell and was burned into a white land, the royal family escaped into the mountains, and the people in the country were scattered. The king went through three generations, and he never thought about returning to the country.

And this ship is paying tribute to Fu Xiaofei is an overseas Chinese, and the clansmen together to help Bo Ni expel the Yi people, and now he is a high-ranking official in his country, and he has always served the Shuntian Dynasty, so he sent a ship to pay tribute to ask for a gift, but also to be able to justify the name, and also have the intention of informing the Ming Dynasty of the Yi situation.

Overseas countries often attack each other, and the Siamese tribute envoy also said that a few years ago, because the capital was attacked by the Dongban Niu State, the old king died and did not send envoys to China.

But what Tian Shengjin was interested in was what Fu Xiaofei told the officials who went to investigate how the Yangyi missionaries were in the Boni country, and how the country was in order, and the various Boni customs he inquired about were no different from the old files. The expulsion of the priest was tickling the itch of Master Tian, and since he was a tribute to this Bo Ni country, he looked at it differently.

For example, how the Spaniards massacred the Chinese in Manila, how the edict issued by the emperor in the 31st year of Wanli was perfunctory, and even the reason for the intermediate incident, it was by no means as the emperor knew that it was 'to deceive the imperial court and provoke overseas', but that Xiyi deliberately did it.

There is also the legend that the gold and silver in the Luzon Mountains came out of itself, which is actually the silver mountain of Xiyi in the east of the Great Eastern Ocean, how the natives of the American continent were slaughtered by Xiyi, how the silver was mined by Xiyi and transported to Middle Earth in exchange for raw silk and gold, and how Xiyi wreaked havoc in the South China Sea with strong ships and cannons. All the contents are reasonable, and the most important thing is that it is also mentioned that Francoji and Xiyi are now co-owners, which reveals the status of Macau.

Macao was originally a small fishing village under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan County, sparsely populated, and in the 32nd year of Jiajing, the Francois took advantage of the sea storm and waves to wet the goods to bribe local officials to land, and they could not go there. Although the Ming Dynasty's management of Macao can be regarded as strict, but after all, it is occupied by the barbarians, and the Franc machine people build houses on it, and at this time, many of Macau's Franc machine people have been born here for the second generation, but now they know that the West and Yi are all one, that is another discussion.

For this reason, Tian Shengjin carefully checked the gold leaf table to Fu Xiaofei and his entourage, but there were still some doubts about the text, but the other party said that it was a long time, and many utensils and ceremonial guards were destroyed by Xiyi, and Tian Shengjin was no longer too harsh, after all, there was a Siamese tribute ship before. After discussing with the political envoys of the left and right, he temporarily allowed Fu Xiaofei and his entourage to anchor at Guangzhou Port.

The tribute envoys of Siam and Bo Ni are now living in Huaiyuan Post outside the city, and I heard that there are also merchants who come to the door to find some goods, which is also common, and many of the tribute envoys who come and go to various countries have private goods, and the government will not have too strict management of this, not to mention that there is another tax in the official of the goods brought privately, at least in the public speaking, there will be no officials who will turn away the money sent. Since the second year of Jiajing's 'battle for tribute', the imperial court abolished Fujian, Zhejiang City, so Guangzhou is dominant at this time, and the merchant ships and tribute envoys are more than in the past, since it has been nearly a hundred years, the local merchants see that there are foreign tributary ships to the port, instigating the Yaren economy to look at the wind that is a common thing.

Fortunately in Siam, except for the three living creatures with peacocks, the rest of the ivory government is given preferential prices, and private merchants can only collect some spices.

But he didn't expect that the tribute listed by the Bo Ni Kingdom was not only a kit coincidence, but also caused a lot of turmoil in the port of Guangzhou.

The mercury mirror alone is amazing enough, although Tian Shengjin has not seen it in person because of his identity, he has heard a lot, and naturally he has a lot of curiosity.

Yesterday, Luo Zhiding, the deputy envoy of the inspection of the sea road, came to report that the chief and deputy envoys of the Bo Ni Kingdom asked to meet him, as usual, he, a province, would not personally receive a small envoy, but since he is now quite interested in this group of visitors, it is another matter, Tian Shengjin is ready to meet Fu Xiaofei and Gu Ziming in the official residence this afternoon.

At this moment, a familiar voice interrupted Tian Yuan's thoughts.

"Old man......"

"What's the matter?"

An old man stepped in from the door, crossed his hands and said, "There is an old gentleman outside who came to hand over the door post, saying that it is Wang Yushi's family." ”

"Which king?" Old Man Tian was not here, and he didn't react for a while.

"Why did you forget? It is the prince of the imperial history who was born in Guiyang, and the one who moved to the Taifu Temple in the name of Zunde. "The news in the officialdom of the old family is very well-informed.

"Oh......?" Tian Shengjin had an impression in his heart, took the door post and looked at it again, although he was curious in his heart, this relationship was not ordinary, and there was nothing to do at the moment, and he still had to sell one.

"You let him in."

[Note: The battle for tribute refers to the arrival of the envoy Zong Shi in June of the second year of Jiajing (1523) in June of the second year of Jiajing (1523). Before long, Youjing Zhao Doctor Gao Gong sent Rui Zuo and Ningbo Song Suqing to arrive. Because Song Suqing bribed the Ningbo eunuch Lai En, he was able to sit on the throne of Zongshi during the banquet, and although his cargo ship arrived later, it was inspected before Zongshi's cargo ship. Zong set up a rage to kill Rui Zuo, burn his ships, chase Song Suqing to the city of Shaoxing, loot along the way, Ming Bei Wu commanded Liu Jin, thousands of households Zhang Bo died in battle, Zhejiang was shocked, known as the 'battle for tribute'.

Afterwards, Xia Yan's misfortune in the matter originated in the city, which was the division of Fujian and Zhejiang, and only one in Guangdong. In the "Ningbo Mansion Chronicles" in the Jiajing period, there is the following record: "Two Yi vendettas, poison flow to the city".

This incident directly led to the abolition of the Ming Dynasty government in Fujian and Zhejiang, leaving only one in Guangdong City, and also led to the severance of trade routes between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and the breeding of the Japanese pirates, which laid the groundwork for the later "southeast Japanese disaster". 】
