In a murderous manner, Governor Yang landed in Macao and assumed control of the city, with his 2,500 soldiers quickly taking over the city, and then forcibly taking control of the Portuguese institutions, including their arsenal, with a battalion......

"Governor, the iron here is really good."

Battalion Commander Han An looked at the half-finished cast iron cannons and said.

A group of cannon casting craftsmen lay on the ground, looking at them with anxiety, but most of these craftsmen were actually Ming.

The Portuguese relied on Ming craftsmen to cast iron cannons.

At this time, the Europeans did surpass the Ming Dynasty in the design and use of artillery, and the casting technology of copper cannons was also better, but the casting of iron smelting and iron cannons was worse, and the Portuguese not only cast cannons for themselves in this arsenal in Macao, but even used them in the Indian colonies.

Including those sold to the Apocalypse.

"Foshan's."

Yang Xin said.

At this time, Foshan was already the largest steel base in the Ming Dynasty.

The gentry in western and northern Guangdong mined high-quality ores, smelted them into pig iron with charcoal on the spot, and then transported them by water to Foshan, where the iron smelters turned them into various ironwares, which were exported to the whole of the South Seas and even as far as India. At this time, the Ming private industry has actually completed the control of the surroundings, and the Ming Dynasty is not only the largest exporter of planting industry, but also the largest exporter of industrial products, and even has actually formed a dumping of the surroundings.

There is no textile industry in Luzon anymore.

Because of the dumping of cheap Ming textiles, the Luzon people forgot how to weave cloth.

After Daming's hemp textiles were shipped to South America, the price was only one-third of that of European products, and the quality was even better.

So the Indians will not weave either.

Spanish merchant ships traveled between Manila and Acapulco, while South American silver was shipped directly to Daming.

The king of Spain ordered his governor to control the flow of silver to the Ming in Manila, and even imposed a limit of two million pesos per year, but both colonial officials and merchants ignored this limit, so much so that more than 10 million pesos were transported to the Ming in a year. And the restrictions are useless, because most of the silver shipped to Europe still has to be transported across tens of thousands of miles, so why bother, it is cheaper to ship directly to Daming It is the officials and merchants of the American colonies, and the benefits of going around in a circle are all to the king and local merchants.

It is said that the colonial officials and merchants of Spain were no more disciplined than their counterparts in the Ming Dynasty.

It's all a raccoon dog.

It's all cheap, and no one can be cheap in the country.

Eventually, a huge amount of silver poured into the Ming Dynasty, destroying the original monetary system of the Ming Dynasty, but Spain, which theoretically held this source of wealth, was in dire straits.

In the end, Daming was finished.

But Spain is also finished.

American Silver completes the double kill, killing the two strongest countries in the East and West at the same time.

But is it the fault of American silver?

Silver is not wrong.

At least for the Ming Dynasty, the influx of silver is not a bad thing at all, because these silver is not like the Spaniards will only be used to buy and buy, silver in the Ming Dynasty really stimulated the economy, and created a prosperous industrial and commercial city, each city is stronger than a European power, just a Guangzhou Province is no worse than England in terms of population and financial resources and industrial strength. But this did not allow this empire, which was so rich that the Europeans looked up to it, that it escaped a catastrophe of destruction, because the wealth of Canton had nothing to do with the empire, and the Spaniards recorded that the tens of millions of taels of silver that were sent to the city in a year alone were divided among the emperors.

It's not as good as the governor of Liangguang who catches it alone every year.

And that's not even in his hands.

Part of the 40,000 taels of tariffs from the Guangzhou City Department was given to the local garrison, and part was sent to the Jingjiang palace to feed this group of pigs that Guangxi's finances could no longer support.

It's not just Guangzhou's.

In fact, the Jingjiang Royal Mansion has to make up for the gap from Huguang every year.

In the end, the emperor got nothing, but he had to protect the city......

"It's embarrassing."

Yang Dudu said with emotion.

"Uncle, the former cottage general is waiting to see you."

Yang Huan said.

"Take him down and put him in jail first."

Yang Xin said.

"Uh, what's this charge for?"

Yang Huan said.

"It's too slow, I'm in a bad mood, take it down first and then check him for harboring smuggling."

Yang Xin said.

Well, the charge is strong.

But as the governor of coastal military affairs, Yang Xin's sword in his hand can be cut first and then played by the deputy general, not to mention his concurrently in charge of the Beizhen Fu Division, which can arrest and interrogate any official, and the driving post can be returned to the capital and then resigned.

"Governor, Guangzhou Prefecture and Haiphong are waiting to see you!"

An officer came in to give a report.

"Arrest it too, in the name of Jinyiwei!"

Yang Xin said.

"Governor, Xu Ruke, deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao, is waiting to see you."

Another officer came in to give a report.

"Well, he's fast!"

Yang Xin said unexpectedly.

The deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao was stationed in Nantou, and it is said that he had just received the news at this time.

"Back to the governor, Deputy Envoy Xu learned that we were coming here, thinking that we were pirates, so he brought the sailor over, but met a ship at sea to report the news."

The officer said.

"Let's go, I need to do this myself!"

Yang Xin said.

A few minutes later.

"Yang Dudu, what crime did the subordinate official commit?"

Xu Ruke, the deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao, was under the control of the soldiers, and while struggling, he asked righteous words.

Well, this has to be taken by Yang Dudu himself.

"Is it better to cover up smuggling or embezzle?"

Yang Dudu asked his nephew.

"Uncle, I think it's best to rebel, he is the deputy envoy of Haidao, and his main duty is to prepare for the Japanese, if he colludes with the Japanese and intends to rebel, he can be killed."

His nephew said.

"Then collude with the Japanese to plot rebellion!"

Yang Xin said in a good manner.

Xu Ruke looked at him dumbfounded......

"No, I'm a civil official, you don't have the right to arrest me, this is the jurisdiction of the Governor of Liangguang, and if you want to arrest me, you will also be arrested by the Governor of Liangguang!"

He screamed in horror.

"Look at this!"

Yang Xin held his tooth tag and leaned in front of him and said.

"This is a sign that says that if you are guilty, you will be guilty, this official really can't take you with the governor's coastal military affairs, but this official can take you from Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division, and return the governor of Liangguang, even if the governor of Liangguang comes, I think I can take it too, and lock up this guy who colluded with the Japanese and conspired to rebel, and he must be made to confess all his comrades after strict interrogation."

He went on to say.

The soldiers immediately dragged Deputy Envoy Xu away.

Then Yang Xin held up the sign and looked at the officers who came with Xu Ruke with a smile.

The latter was so frightened that they all trembled, and they didn't even dare to look at him, saying that Yang Xin's notoriety had already spread all over the Ming Dynasty, and everyone knew about his evil deeds. Since he is really the same as the legend, then everyone should not resist this kind of traitor, or hand him over to the legendary justice, justice will judge him, even if justice may be late, but it will still come after all.

"Isn't it a bit too little to only catch Xu Ruke?"

Yang Xin said suddenly.

"It's a little, it's hard for him to make an iron case alone, it's better to have three or five subordinates, and these subordinates must have soldiers and horses."

Yang Huan said.

The officers were so frightened that they all fell to their stomachs in an instant.

"Du Du Mingjian, everything is done by Xu Ruke himself, and the little ones have never done anything!"

One of them screamed.

"Uh, you know what he's done, too? Hurry up and report and expose it, otherwise you will be in the same party if you don't report it! ”

Yang Xin said.

The man was immediately dumbfounded.

"Hurry up, do you want to know and not report it?"

Yang Xin shouted with a calm face.

The man had no choice but to step forward on his knees, but he was also a ruthless character, and then he stopped and turned his head, and the officers behind him instantly sobered up, and looked at him with pleading or threatening or pitiful eyes......

"Governor, they all know."

The shameless guy turned around and said resolutely.

"Then come here!"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

Those guys looked at each other one by one, while secretly scolding the one just now, while hesitantly stepping forward, Yang Huan immediately took them to a room next to them, and then put out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and these guys began to report the crimes of Deputy Envoy Xu. At this moment, a small boat in the distance hurriedly turned, and a green-robed officer wiped his sweat and stepped on the dock, and several Portuguese people nearby hurriedly saluted, but he didn't care about it, and ran directly to Yang Xin, and then Yang Dudu waved his hand.

Several soldiers from behind immediately stepped forward.

Before the green-robed officer could understand what was going on, he was then pushed down by these rough fellows.

"Yang Dudu, Yang Dudu, Xiaguan Xiangshan County, Xiaguan Xiangshan County......"

He screamed in terror.

Yang Dudu won't bother with him.

The soldiers handcuffed him directly and dragged him to accompany his acquaintance in Haiphong.

Li Yuan watched this scene in horror, and then quickly switched states, and walked behind Yang Xin with a flattering smile on his face.

"Governor, where are you staying tonight? It's good to make arrangements early for small ones. ”

He saluted.

"That's it!"

Yang Xin turned his gaze to Fortress Hill.

However, the fort on this hill has just begun to be built, but it was also destroyed last year, I have to say that the Ming officials are okay, but the main thing is not to maintain national sovereignty, but after the destruction, the Portuguese have to pay bribes to repair it. If you let them repair it directly, then you can't continue to make money, everyone collects money and acquiesces to them to repair, and then destroys it for them to ask for merit from the imperial court, which is also a manifestation of the responsibility of local officials to the imperial court, and then they pay silver to bribe, and then acquiesce to them to repair and then destroy it......

This game can be played all the time.

There is currently only one intact building there.

"Well, the people worshipped their gods back then."

Li Yuan said cautiously.

"I am their god at this moment."

Yang Dudu said.

"The small ones understand, and the small ones will be arranged."

Li Yuan said.
