Guangzhou.

"Political Envoy Li Youbu, your case has been sent!"

With the soldiers in a frightened gaze, Yang Dudu, who arrogantly broke into the political envoy department, said to Li Shuyuan, who was about to go out in front.

At this time, the Battle of Hong Kong had come to an end.

Chen Si's cruiser fleet sank three Dutch armed merchant ships with short and heavy artillery, including the returning ship, Fang Yifeng's sailor fleet burned two with rockets, Yang Xin scuttled the flagship himself, and the remaining eighteen armed merchant ships all raised their white flags and anchored on Lamma Island, waiting to be disposed of under the surveillance of Ming warships.

However, the losses of the Ming army were not small.

Twenty-five centipede ships were sunk alone, and sixteen ships were sunk by the sailors, but none of those cruisers were sunk, and the total casualties of the sailors exceeded a thousand, especially the cruisers, because the wooden planks were inferior to the armed merchant ships of the Dutch, and the number of casualties exceeded that of the centipede fleet, which seemed to have suffered the worst losses. Although the latter lost the largest number of boats, the casualties were the least, mainly because these Tan people and Lu Ting were too good at water, and most of them swam to the shore by themselves after falling into the water.

Fang Yifeng's sailors suffered the most casualties, and even he himself was seriously injured.

However, it is largely because of the poor water quality of his soldiers, and the mortality rate after falling into the water is the highest, after all, the sailor does not say that he often swims training, or even does not know how to swim, and the result of these people sinking the ship is completely different from that of the Tan people.

In short, this was the result of the Battle of Hong Kong.

As soon as the battle was over, Yang Xin immediately left the matter to his subordinates, and then rushed to Guangzhou by himself, entering the city at dawn and gathering soldiers to arrive.

"Governor, what crime did the subordinate commit?"

Li Shuyuan said tremblingly.

"What is this?"

Yang Xin took out his eloquent essay.

Li Shuyuan's legs were weak and he lay directly at his feet......

"Governor, the lower officials were confused for a while, they were tempted by those razors, the lower officials should die, I beg the governor to let go of the lower officials in large numbers!"

He wailed.

"Apparently you still don't understand what you've committed, what about the share that those people gave you?"

Yang Xin said.

Li Shuyuan hurriedly asked the old servant to get it, it was obvious that he really didn't know what crime he had committed, in his opinion, it was just his own piece of eloquence that fell into the hands of Yang Xin, Yang Xin saw that he was going to impeach and report him, and deliberately came to the door to arrest him and frame him for torture. Immediately afterwards, the old servant took the so-called petition, and at the same time took the box of jewels very sensibly, Li Shuyuan accompanied the smiling face and held it to Yang Xin, Yang Xin handed the jewelry to the subordinates behind him and opened the petition......

"Do you know what this is?"

Yang Dudu said.

"Back to the governor, those Yi people said that they petitioned His Majesty."

Li Shuyuan said with a flattering smile.

"Petition? Political envoy Li Bu, don't you find a translator yourself when you meet Yiren? The translator said that they were Francis, and you believed it? Guangzhou understands more Macao Yi people, and Macao Yi people understand our language more, why send someone who doesn't understand our language, you don't want to think about it? ”

Yang Xin said.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan was confused for a while."

Li Shuyuan said.

"Confused? I think you're fascinated by this box of jewels, right? As a result, put your whole family in it, and you can tell me what this thing is now! This is a letter of thanks from the Dutch, the Governor of the East India Company of the Red Hairy State in Batavia, Java, thanking the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for leasing Hong Kong Island to them, allowing them to trade with the Ming Dynasty, allowing their fleet to be stationed on Hong Kong Island, and allowing them to freely enter and leave Guangzhou.

Or a treaty, as it could be.

And the above is a decision made by you on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor.

Political envoy Li Bu, I said that Wu Zhongwei was indeed framed for fornicating with the Japanese, but you fornicated with the red-haired people, and falsely preached the holy decree and sold the land of the Ming Dynasty to the red-haired people, which is conclusive evidence.

Political envoy Li Bu, you have a big deal, you have a big deal. ”

Yang Dudu said.

Li Shuyuan was stupid in an instant.

Then he came to his senses......

"Governor, Xiaguan really doesn't know this, they were brought by Li Chongwen, then Li Chongwen is the supervisor of Foshan, the Li family is the number one family in Foshan, his brother is the official Langzhong, Xiaguan really didn't expect him to lie to me, he took the Nayi people and said that he couldn't stand the tax collection of the governor, and wanted the Xiaguan to show them His Majesty, Xiaguan was dazzled when he saw these gems, but Xiaguan really didn't know that it was a red-haired man!"

Li Shuyuan hugged Yang Xin's leg and cried.

"Handcuff up first, take the shackles for the time being, maybe Your Majesty will spare your whole family!!"

Yang Xin said.

After all, someone has to preside over Guangdong's government affairs.

Immediately after that, those soldiers stepped forward to put shackles on Li Bu's political envoy, and then before the holy decree arrived to reappoint the Guangdong political envoy, Li Bu's political envoy had to wear shackles as an official.

"Let's go, go to Foshan."

Yang Xin said.

"Quick, go and lead the way to the governor, send orders to the counties, and if you find Li Chongwen, you will be sent to Macao immediately."

The shackled envoy Li Bu yelled from behind.

Yang Dudu was not interested in his anger, under the leadership of a political envoy, he led the soldiers straight to Foshan, forty miles away, those soldiers who ran laps every day were very fast, only an hour and a half o'clock, Yang Dudu had already arrived in Foshan. At present, the largest steel base in the Ming Dynasty has no city walls, but the prosperity is not inferior to the city of Guangzhou, there are chimneys everywhere, boats and vehicles transporting pig iron and iron tools everywhere, and even the air is obviously much worse than Guangzhou.

Li Chongwen's home is easy to find.

However, Yang Xin's target is not Li Chong's question, just think about it, you know that he can't be at home, but such a big crime is to raid his home......

"Can I copy Li to ask home?"

Yang Dudu asked.

"Dudu, although Li Zhiwen and Li Chongwen are of the same clan, they are not among the five brothers according to the law, Li Zhiwen is five brothers, he was born to his father's servant girl when he was eighty, and he is a posthumous son, at present, only the third brother and him are left among the five brothers, and the third brother Li Zhengwen is in the township, and the rest are grandnephews, and Li Chongwen is even farther away."

The accompanying officer said cautiously.

"Eighty, posthumous son? His father is in good health. ”

Yang Dudu said in astonishment.

"This is not enough for outsiders, but it is said that his father left a fan for his mother before he died, and it is because of this that he was recognized, and he was also looked down upon when he was a child, but it was different after being a sergeant."

The little official said with a smile.

Eighty, posthumous son, leave a fan as evidence.

It's legendary, and imagination can't keep up with it.

Yang Dudu sighed.

"Copy the Li family, not one of the five families will be left, and together with Li Chongwen, all of them will be closed!"

Yang Dudu said.

"What about this crime?"

The little official said.

"I said copy it, what crime do you want? Still charged? Come, make one up for them, and say that they harbored Li Chongwen and conspired with him. ”

Yang Dudu said.

The soldiers behind him immediately rushed to the archway in Longxili.

The Li family lived together, and the Li brothers were all here, and the soldiers of the entire battalion poured in, and then under the guidance of the officials who led the way, they quickly rushed to the mansions, and the entire Longxi was instantly full of chickens and dogs, and then a group of young people suddenly poured out, blocking them chaotically with weapons one by one......

"This is still raising a private army?"

Yang Xin was stunned.

"Governor, this is the Foshan Zhongyi Battalion, and the Li family brought the local gentry to raise money to support anti-theft."

The little official said.

"Hold a turtledove and push the Furlong machine to prevent theft?"

Yang Xin said.

"This, these firearms are abundant locally, so they are naturally adapted to local conditions."

The little official said.

"Who commands them?"

Yang Dudu said.

"The local gentry autonomous Jiahuitang, the imperial court has no officials in Foshan, here belongs to the Wudoukou Inspection Division, but the local gentry autonomy, when Li Zhiwen returned to his hometown before, he united some eunuchs in this place to jointly form the Jiahuitang, all local affairs are discussed in the Jiahuitang, and the Jiahuitang set up a loyalty camp to maintain the place, which is approved by the imperial court."

The little official said.

"This system is very advanced, this is about to catch up with the Datong society, and the Dutch are just like that, our Daming still has a place to directly cross over to democracy? If this is allowed to develop, won't even the parliament come out? In other words, Nanhai County, Guangzhou Mansion, the Political Envoy Department, so many official mansions, just look at this kind of place under their noses and don't care? ”

Yang Dudu said with emotion.

Who said that our Ming system is not advanced, look at this Foshan has completely entered the parliamentary era.

At this time, Britain could not catch up with it.

"The governor, the prefect of Cheng and the envoy Li Bu all think that this is good local governance, there is no need to manage, and it should even be promoted in various places, if the local gentry can jointly manage the place, it can save a lot of expenses for the imperial court, if the Ming Dynasty can be like Foshan, our Ming Dynasty is like the governor said, the world can be the same. In fact, the small one doesn't think it's necessarily a good thing, before Nanhai County began to collect a tax when Zhang Jiangling was the first assistant, but the first two years were opposed by Li Zhiwen and Jia Huitang, and finally Nanhai County had to cancel it.

These gentry were too powerful.

What's more, they also have soldiers in their hands, and the government doesn't dare to do anything they want, for fear that it will not end well when the time comes, that is, the yamen will come to arrest people, and those officials have to be scared, for fear of being shot black, although the gentry do save a lot of trouble by themselves.

But the yamen will not dare to manage it in the future. ”

The little official said.

I can see that he still has some ideas.

At this time, the young men in front were already confronting the soldiers.

But these young men were full of firearms, and all heavy arquebuses, and a row of turtledoves stood in the street, and even a small furlong machine was launched in the middle.

And the soldier's weapon is completely inadequate.

A bunch of spears and light arquebuses, against a bunch of heavy arquebuses in front, first of all, this momentum lost a lot.

Yang Dudu stepped forward speechlessly, then snatched the short gun from the hand of an officer, and pulled the trigger at the sky without hesitation......

"What do you want to do? Rebellion? ”

He shouted.
