Chapter 456: The Foreigner Is Coming

Because of the particularity of Yun Niang's identity, Ye Xun couldn't help but gossip.

It should be Yun Niang's mother who has never been recognized by the Yang family, Yang Hao, who is old and improper, finally succumbed to the pressure of the family and abandoned Yun Niang's mother, and Yun Niang's mother transformed this hatred into Yun Niang, which finally sold Yun Niang, and could bear to sell her own flesh and blood, and she was sold into the Qinglou, which shows how ruthless this woman is.

Although Ye Xun didn't dare to say how accurate his guess was, he had watched a lot of bloody dramas in later generations, and probably the plot was like that.

And if Yun Niang is really a Japanese royal family, then this matter is much more interesting, maybe in the near future, it is not impossible for Japan to have a female emperor.

Not long after returning to the study, Ye Xun was pondering this matter, when the guards came to report that there was a Dutch missionary outside the door asking to see him.

The atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River is far more open than in the capital, and the government's control over foreigners is not so strict, especially after the opening of the sea to trade, blonde and blue-eyed foreign devils can be seen everywhere on the streets of Jinling.

However, dealing with these foreign devils does not require Ye Xun to come forward at all, there is a courtesy court in Jinling, and there are officials from the maritime yamen, but they don't know how this guy came to Ye Xun.

If it were other foreign devils, Ye Xun might really be gone, but the other party had already indicated that he was a Dutch missionary, but he couldn't be gone.

The Netherlands is known as the coachman of the sea, but that was a century later, and the sea is still under the control of the Spanish and British.

However, the Dutch ships have low cost and large cargo volume, and have always been popular with maritime merchants from all over the world, and they can also be Daming's partners.

There was not much time, and a tall foreigner with a cross on his chest was brought in by the guards, this foreign devil had no translator by his side, and was obviously proficient in Chinese.

"Venerable Lord Ye, the contemptible Barents are entrusted by the Pope to pay a special visit to Lord Ye."

Although the tone is a little stiff, it is quite fluent, and it can be seen that this guy often comes and goes to Daming.

Ye Xun nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for the Pope's greeting, please sit, come and watch the tea!" ”

Ye Xun knows that after the sixteenth century, the power of the pope has been greatly weakened, and the scope of Catholic activities is mainly concentrated in Italy and Germany, and the Holy See is in the Vatican.

"What is the climate like in the Vatican? The Pope is not in good health, is he still used to living there? ”

Ye Xun stunned Barents with a word, and subconsciously asked, "Lord Ye has been to the Vatican?" ”

Ye Xun nodded and said, "Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, my father has been to these places, hehe!" But to put it mildly, these countries are too far from our Ming Dynasty."

Barents was stunned by Ye Xun's frightening, and blurted out: "Lord Ye didn't encounter Spanish pirates at sea?" ”

Ye Xun smiled, I'm afraid this is the real purpose of this guy coming to find himself!

He looked at Barents with a smile and said, "My father is very willing to cooperate with Dutch merchants and fight pirates, but these pirates have not yet come to my Daming Sea to operate, and my father is also powerless!" ”

Barents nodded and said: "That's the case, before the contemptible people came, the East India Company had found contemptible people, one was to convey the sincerity of cooperation to Lord Ye, and in addition, they also wanted to build a base in the East Port, so as to facilitate the berthing of our company's ships and the rest of the crew, since Lord Ye knows our Pope, I think this little thing should not make adults embarrassed!" ”

At this time, Donggang was the Taiwan of later generations, if Zheng Chenggong hadn't driven out the Dutch later, it would have really become a Dutch colony, but I didn't want the Dutch to be thinking about it at this time.

Just now I thought that the Dutch wanted to find the Ming Navy to protect their merchant ships, but I didn't want them to harbor such a big evil intention.

"Build a base? Daming has an inspection department in Penghu, if the Dutch merchant ship wants to rest, we will also receive it, why bother? And it's all in the East Port, can't you work harder to drive the ship to the mainland? ”

"But you also reminded me that the Japanese duke plans to build a base in Amsterdam, so that my navy will have a place to rest, and you can go back and tell the Pope for me."

Listening to Ye Xun's words, Barents's face also turned cold, and he said unhappily: "Grandpa Ye, the contemptible people came with a piece of sincerity, you must know that although the East India Company is owned by me and the Netherlands, the fleets of the Spanish Empire and the British Empire have shares, if these two maritime military powers know Lord Ye's attitude, I'm afraid the consequences are hard to imagine, right?" ”

"You're threatening me?"

Although Ye Xun was still smiling and talking, his eyes had become as sharp as a blade, and the murderous aura emanating from his body was still felt by Barents even across a table.

"Ye, Lord Ye..."

Originally, Barents' Chinese was not very authentic, and under this tension, he couldn't even speak.

Ye Xun lowered his eyelids, looked at the table and said lightly: "My father hopes to become good friends with businessmen from all over the world, but I will never condone those robbers who want to invade my territory, whether it is Spain or the British Empire, if the armed warships of any country sail into our territorial waters without our permission, they will all be sunk, and now you can go."

After Ye Xun withdrew his breath, Barents's body suddenly became relaxed, he never expected that there would be such a great coercion on this young man.

The truth that a good man does not suffer immediate losses is not something that only Han people understand.

After bowing and bowing to Ye Xun, he didn't speak again, turned around and strode away, he had brought a lot of gifts, but Ye Xun didn't give him a chance to bribe at all.

Looking at Barents' back, Ye Xun smiled coldly, and he didn't know the superiority of these foreign devils, as if he always felt that he was a head taller than the Han people, fortunately, this guy didn't say anything threatening, otherwise Ye Xun would have left something on his body.

However, with the departure of Barents, Ye Xun's heart was also confused, there was Ono on the Ryukyu side who was about to move, and now the foreign devils came to the door again, was it a good discussion?

After pondering for a while, he wrote two twists and turns, in which he proposed Ling Yu as the new governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Zhang Guanchang as the governor of Denglai.

Although Zhang Guanchang refused to accept the official position before, he can't help it now.

Jiangnan's side is too important, and Ye Xun can't stay here all the time, so he must put the most trusted person here.

The fold must first be sent to the cabinet, and then the cabinet will be transferred to the ministry to form a formal appointment, so that the formalities can be considered.

Although Ye Xun can also directly transfer Cheng Yu over, Ye Xun doesn't want to be unhappy with Yang Sichang because of this trivial matter, anyway, it's just a formality.

After writing the two memos, I was about to send someone to send them out, when my heart suddenly moved, and after thinking about it, I wrote a memorabilia again, and the content of this memo was to propose Ma Shiying to be the governor of Jinling.

After Cheng Yu takes office, Yao Yizhi, the current governor of Jinling, will also complete his mission, and Ma Shiying, who can be looked at by Ye Xun, will appear in the form of Cheng Yu's help, as for Ruan Dayue and others, they were automatically ignored by Ye Xun...
