Chapter 307: I don't like silver, I like to kill

"Quick, kneel down and knock on the capital!"

Li Yuan turned around without hesitation and waved his hand and shouted at those Portuguese.

Latter......

The latter also did not hesitate to kneel.

"Knock on the capital!"

A Portuguese at the head shouted respectfully to Yang Xin with a standard prostration.

Well, it's really not a big deal.

In fact, the dispute between the British and our Daqing is purely that after people come to visit, they find that this legendary Chinese Ming rich and powerful empire is completely a scum, full of contempt for the ten perfect old dogs, the Tatar chieftain they call them, and they simply disdain to kneel to him, and people feel that kneeling is a complete shame.

But the Europeans of the Ming Dynasty were not so arrogant.

The Portuguese not only knelt, but knelt very simply, and all those behind fell to their knees.

Yang Dudu, who was carrying Shang Fang's sword, swept his gaze majestically over these people, the latter knelt there and looked at him cautiously, and a few of them were still whispering, while at the same time more soldiers behind Yang Xin boarded the dock, including Salazar also stepped off the gangplank. The soldiers who had been resting on a nearby island for a few days quickly lined up at the docks, while other warships also docked, and some of those who could not get lined up simply lowered their boats......

"Who fired the cannon just now?"

Yang Xin said gloomily.

Li Yuan immediately began to wipe the cold sweat on his head.

"Your Excellency Tsudo, it was our sentry who mistakenly thought it was a pirate and inadvertently offended Your Excellency Metropolitan Hall, and we are willing to compensate Your Excellency Metropolitan for your losses."

The Portuguese man at the head looked at the damaged battleship in the distance, and hurriedly said with a smiling face.

"Reparations?"

Yang Xin sneered.

"Your Excellency the Prosecutor, please hand over the criminals who fired the guns and leave them at the disposal of my master!"

Salazar said in a pretending manner.

"Master?"

The prosecutor of the Macau Council, that is, the official who was officially sealed by the Ming Dynasty, raised his head and looked at him in amazement.

"Yes, I have been captured by my master on the battlefield, and as a knight, since I cannot afford to pay the ransom for myself, I must repay my life with loyalty forgiveness! Maybe you don't know it yet, standing in front of you at this moment is the admiral of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and all the naval warships of this country are commanded by him. At the same time, he is also the adviser of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the Royal Guard, and the minister of the Qin Mission, if you call it in the language of the Ming Dynasty, my master is the Governor of Coastal Military Affairs, the Right Governor of the Rear Military Governor's Mansion, and the Fusi of the Northern Town of Jinyi Weibei......"

Salazar is like reporting the title to the Emperor of the HRE, switching languages to report Yang Xin's stinky and long title.

The official rank in the back made Li Yuan, who was lying on the ground, tremble suddenly, and his body collapsed to the ground with a limp, and the cold sweat of the two officials behind him also gushed out instantly, and he trembled as if he couldn't support it.

"Bring someone here!"

The Portuguese immediately turned his head and said.

He didn't necessarily know Yang Xin's identity, but the reaction of these officials made him understand that this person's status was terrifying.

At least higher than the Governor of Liangguang.

Immediately after that, four Portuguese, two black slaves, and two Luzon slaves were brought over.

"Your Excellency, we can pay five thousand yellow coins for their offense against you, but I beg you to be gracious and let us deal with them ourselves."

The Portuguese said.

"Yang Dudu, that's almost four thousand taels."

Li Yuan, who suddenly woke up again, wiped his cold sweat and said flatteringly.

The yellow coin is the Spanish silver coin of eight riyals, weighing 27 grams, the Cantonese folk is called the yellow coin zhi, this thing is the Spanish peso, the silver coin of the eight riyals is called the peso, the symbol of wealth in the Age of Discovery, the pirates of the Caribbean are used to do it, in addition to the four riyals called the British lip, two riyals called Luo Liuli, one rial called Huang Li.

"Four thousand taels?"

Yang Xin sneered.

The next moment, a cold light flashed in his hand, Shang Fang's sword was unsheathed, and before the person on the other side could react, he held the sword in both hands and swept in front of the eight people standing in a row with extreme speed, and the eight heads that accompanied him fell in the blood spurt. His speed was so fast that those people didn't even think to dodge, including those kneeling on the ground, and one of the human heads was falling on Nayi's face, and he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly let out a frightened scream, and the next moment the blood rain fell from the sky.

"I don't like silver, I like to kill!"

Yang Xin took the handkerchief handed by Yang Huan, wiped the blood on Shang Fang's sword, and said in Portuguese to the frightened Portuguese.

Screams of chaos rang out.

Then a lady fainted and fell to the ground.

"Quick, drag these dogs who dare to offend Yang Dudu aside, don't stain the soles of Yang Dudu's boots. Governor, you are tired from the journey, and it is not worth being angry with these barbarians, please go to the little one to rest. A few of you, quickly arrange manpower for the generals to find a place to rest, and immediately send people to Chen Dutang, Governor Wang, and Deputy Envoy Xu to report the good news of Governor Yang's arrival, and hurry to Qianshanzhai, Yongmoying, and Xiangshan County, and tell you to come and meet Governor Yang immediately.

Yang Dudu, you came to Haojing Aodu suddenly became beautiful, although the small one is far away in Guangzhou, Yang Dudu's great exploits in Liaodong are also like thunder. ”

Li Yuan instantly switched states, and stepped forward to serve with a flattering face.

Yang Xin ignored him.

"You're the one here and here?"

Yang Dudu said as he looked at the Portuguese who was obviously afraid.

"Back to the capital, the little one is exactly."

The latter said as he lay on the ground.

Yang Xin waved to the back, and then Long Huamin was escorted over.

"Do you know this person?"

He said.

The one nodded.

Although the Portuguese in the back were more or less dissatisfied when they saw the respected dragon priest being shackled, the eight headless corpses were still in front, and the blood on the ground was still flowing, and no one dared to speak at this time, and no one even dared to stand up. If they still had a little power to resist before, now with those soldiers constantly landing, and the guns on the battleships behind them are pointing at each other, it can be said that they have no power to resist at all, not to mention that they don't dare to resist.

As soon as I resisted, there was nothing.

Everything about them was parasitic on the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty.

They came with silver, spices from the South Seas, and sulfur, and precious stones.

Mainly, of course, with silver.

Then the 36 lines of Guangzhou and those smugglers, with everything they want, came here to trade, as for whether they were allowed to go to Guangzhou, this depends on the mood of the Ming Emperor, but this year because of the arms trade has been allowed.

In short, they were allowed to trade.

And then sell everything that is produced in this country and is fanatically sought after by Europeans to Europe in order to make more wealth.

They are the only European countries that are allowed to trade legally with the Ming Dynasty, as if they have obtained the exclusive license of the Ming Emperor, and this emperor is so merciful that he doesn't care about them at all, no matter how much wealth they earn, the Ming Emperor doesn't seem to see it, they don't want to end up ruining everything that can be said to be good at the moment because of their own impulse, as for the Dragon Priest......

"Read them the decree!"

Yang Xin said.

The content of the decree is simple.

Previously, he had been sent back to Macao by the order of the Ming Emperor, and handed over to the Xiyi Long Huamin, who was strictly controlled by Yimu, infiltrated the Ming Dynasty to collude with the anti-party, assassinated Qincha with the intention of rebelling and was captured. Inevitably, similar situations will happen again, and the Yimu and Macau Yiren must be severely punished, and if necessary, all of them must be expelled from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor is merciful, and he thought that the people of Macao were tens of thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and they were quite docile before, so they could open the net, as long as the people of Macao paid a fine of two million taels, they could be pardoned.

"How much?"

He was stunned for a moment.

"Two million taels!"

Yang Xin said with certainty.

"Dutang, Dutang, the small ones are just small traders, what they get in a year is nothing more than food and clothing, where can there be so much silver!"

Nayimu instantly threw herself at his feet, hugged his legs and cried.

"Come, tell me the truth."

Yang Xin squatted down and said kindly.

Nayi looked at him blankly.

"Was there 10 million pesos of silver shipped from Acapulco to Manila last year?

I guess it's more than that, right? ”

Yang Xin said.

Nayi's eyes widened instantly.

"As far as I know, the Potosi silver mine produces tens of millions of pesos a year, don't tell me that this silver is shipped to Europe, even if it is shipped to Europe, it will be sent here in the end, isn't the silver from Europe the same to be sent here to enter the Ming Dynasty? What's more, you still have silver transported from the Wa Kingdom, although there is still smuggling and diversion, but last year there were still at least 10 million taels from here into Daming. As the only legal trader, even if you only do resale trade a year, I am afraid that you will be able to make a total of 2 million, and last year you paid a total of 40,000 taels of taxes.

Ah, and five hundred taels of rent.

So now I'll give you a chance to tell the truth.

Tell me if you can afford to pay the two million fine.

Look at them, I'm a person with a bad temper, I don't like to be offended, and the people who offend me usually end up like this, do you know what my sword is? This is Shang Fang's sword, you can understand it as a sword given to me by His Majesty the Emperor to enforce the law in his place, just like your king's scepter, this thing means that I can directly execute any officer from the former cottage general down without any approval.

Including traitors.

Do you know how many heads it has chopped off?

With the addition of these eight, there are 1,138 in all, all of which I cut with my own hands. ”

Yang Xinxin grabbed Yimu's head with his arm and lifted it, and then forced him to look down at the human head on the ground, while showing off the Shang Fang sword in his hand.

The latter was so trembling that he couldn't walk.

"Then I'll give you twenty-four hours to think about it, and in twenty-four hours I'll tell you an answer that satisfies me, or I won't mind cutting off another thousand one hundred and thirty-eight heads."

Yang Xin shook his Shang Fang sword and said with a cruel smile.
