Her Majesty was clearly not interested in understanding her husband's insidious intentions......

In fact, the Empress still has to nurse the child!

How can she have time to care about these things, now Daming is already an iron bucket, just let Yang Qing toss, no one can turn the sky, even Da Yu'er and her mother have been sent to Nandu in a cage......

It was calm when entering the city.

The people of Nandu don't pay much attention to this mother and son, after all, after watching too much Ling Chi in front of Xiaoling, they have already been a little aesthetically tired of Jiannu or something, and there are not many audiences when the previous batch of captives Jiannu Ling Chi was gone. Poor Sister Da Yu'er and Fu Lin entered the flower world in Jiangnan in the drizzle of early autumn, but unfortunately this flower world is separated from them by a cage. Then they were sent to the Jinyi Guard prison, and the Empress was not interested in seeing them, only the Lord Protector went to look at them and walked away without any interest. In short, at present, the two of them are in Jinyiwei Prison, and the specific handling has not yet been determined, but there are quite a few military generals, especially from Liaodong, who have returned, just like Huang Fei, who often go to interrogate them, and no one knows what they interrogate.

But when I left, I could see that I was very satisfied.

In short, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was already unified.

In this case, he can toss as much as he likes to protect the country, even if something happens, he has the ability to solve it, and Her Majesty the Empress is not interested in caring about other things!

Yang Qing set off for the south half a month later.

At this time, the situation in Guangzhou kept coming, and even the petitions of the people of Guangzhou were sent to Nandu by Jinyiwei, but this petition was of little use, at least the cabinet members did not think that this could change the nature of the Guangzhou workers' move. The only use was to make the empress's treatment of King Gui more justifiable, and the latter personally supervised the guards of the Gui clan to attack the inner city of Guangzhou for three consecutive days, with nearly 5,000 casualties and still useless. Facing the First Marine Corps that landed behind him, and the Nanyang Naval Division that had reached Humen, King Gui, who had lost his ground, could only accept the holy decree of withdrawing from the domain.

As for the sages of Guangdong......

What else could they do?

Accepting this result, at least their industry can be preserved, and if they don't accept this result, it is nothing more than the Nanyang sailors forcibly asking them to accept it, so that they can't even keep their family business.

Subsequently, the 1st Marine Army took over the periphery of Guangzhou.

However, the inner city of Guangzhou was still blocked, and the workers in the city were forbidden to go out of the city, but they were only sent to inform them of the order to wait for the arrival of the Protector of the Kingdom, and people outside were also forbidden to enter the city. In short, the battle in Canton was quickly stopped by the First Army of the Marine, and only King Gui and his degraded vassals, mainly Chen Bangyan and Chen Zizhuang, had to be sent to Hong Kong Island first, while all other parties awaited the arrival of the Protector. As for King Gui's northward development, it was not for him to go immediately, at this time there was no one alive in Guangning, and he was afraid that he would have to fight the Siberian Tiger bravely......

There are really Siberian tigers out there.

A patrol of the Ming army stationed in Jinzhou also shot one dead in the city of Guangning!

So King Gui had to make some preparations.

Yang Qing threw him in the northeast to open up the wasteland, but it didn't mean that there was no purpose, this bastard actually remembered that King Gui was rich, even as a hypocrite monarch, King Gui still made a lot of money over the years. He has shares in many factories in Guangdong, the shipping fleet, and the colonial development of the Zhenla Company, and he has a share in all of them, and the official fields in Guangdong are controlled by him, in short, King Gui at this time, according to Jinyiwei's intelligence, has a property of no less than five million taels.

The sages of Guangdong did make a fortune.

But as the de facto monarchs of Guangdong, it is impossible for them not to make a fortune with King Gui, and no matter how the Guangzhou incident is handled, the property of the King Gui family will not be touched.

In that case, it will be easy to do.

Let King Gui pay for slaves, let him take a pioneer regiment north to Quang Ninh, and there are some European mercenaries and Japanese slaves in his guard, even if these people are his private army, let him take them to Quang Ninh as overseers, and the rest is to cultivate land on a large scale in that area. Quang Ninh is definitely a good place, no matter what you grow, and besides, his industries in Guangdong are still his, which means that the dividends he should get every year will not be less. Similarly, his relationship network with Guangdong is still there, and with Er Chen's clansmen in Guangdong, it will definitely drive the trade from Guangdong to Liaodong in the end, which can speed up the development of the Northeast in the future.

In short, Yang Qing felt that this was worthy of his perseverance in Nanming.

Fuzhou, Mawei.

"Protector!"

Zheng Zhilong boarded the cruiser that Yang Qing was riding and saluted and said.

He has already resigned as Chief of the Navy.

Although he is actually not very old, he is not yet fifty years old at this time, but his son is already left behind in the northern capital, his nephew is the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, and his younger brother Zheng Hongkui is the commander of the Nanning Metropolitan Government, a member of a family of three square towns, and he continues to dominate the chief of the navy, both the military and the civilian officials are dissatisfied. He can't actually be regarded as a real hero, judging from his original historical performance, he has actually been softened by wealth. He didn't have much ambition, at least compared to being a high-ranking official and dignitary, let him do the things on his head and waistband, even if there was a greater benefit, he would definitely not take the risk.

In that case, it is better to be smarter.

After he ascended the throne from the empress, he had already returned to his hometown in Fuzhou due to illness, and then he was considered a pension with the false position of a marquis and a Fujian patrol envoy.

The new chief of the Navy is Zhang Mingzhen.

"Brother Feihuang!"

Yang Qing returned the salute and said.

Just as they met each other, the cruiser sailed past the Luoxing Tower, pushed forward by the rising tide, and soon the city of Fuzhou appeared in Yang Qing's field of vision. However, he did not care about Fuzhou, but looked at the Minjiang River in front of him, the wharf of Zhongzhou Island was in front of him, this was the Fuzhou Customs, and all the merchant ships that entered Fuzhou by the tide were docked around this small island. But it is impossible to cross this island, because the Wanshou Bridge and the Jiangnan Bridge cross the left and right sides of the river, blocking the big ships downstream, so that they can only be on Zhongzhou Island, and the foreigners who also come with the boats can only live on this very small Jiangxinzhou. Only with permission, and accompanied by customs officers, they were allowed to land north through the Wanshou Bridge.

The North Shore is a commercial district.

This is actually the commercial district in the south of Fuzhou, with a street leading directly to the south gate as the core, countless shops and warehouses, and dense boats on the banks of the Minjiang River to transport all kinds of goods upstream, especially black tea from the Wuyi Mountains, to this commercial district.

Trade with foreigners here.

The trading volume is huge, with nearly 3,000 tons of black tea exported from here last year.

Including those shipped out by Nanyang Company.

In fact, it is mainly shipped by Nanyang Company, but it is not sold to Europe, and Europe does not drink a lot because of the short promotion time. Britain is currently only three or four hundred tons a year, the Dutch are about the same number, the French are only about 100 tons because they entered the industry late, as for how much is left to transport back, this is difficult to say, it is estimated that half is good, the shipwreck and the damage along the way are very serious. Europe's largest purchase was still sugar, while Nanyang's tea was mainly sold to the Middle East, Africa and India, especially in the Mughal Empire. The company had sailed as far as Egypt and even traded with Zanzibar, which was controlled by the Omanis, and the sweetened drinking of black tea spread from Egypt to Morocco......

The latter is said to still be Bloody Mary.

But in the past, the amount of tea that came to them was very small, and after the merchant ships of the Nanyang Company brought a shipload of tea to Egypt, they quickly conquered their tastes with the white sugar that came with it. This company, together with the trading fleet of the Zhenla Company of the Guangdong gentry, together with Li Zicheng's Western Regions Trading Company, formed the three major tea exporters of the Ming Dynasty......

Don't underestimate Li Zicheng.

The amount of tea shipped by land from the Western Regions Trading Company is also huge, and last year the Western Regions Trading Company shipped 500 tons of tea by land.

Of course, not just to Russia.

But at present, the largest tea export port is Fuzhou, which is this small sandbar.

The prosperity of the tea trade has turned Zhongzhou Island, a small land, into a land of wealth, and after all these years of construction, it has become like a European style, except for the church, which is not allowed to be repaired, and even the spire has appeared, and merchants from all over the world have hung their own flags on their roofs to show the difference. Theoretically, they can't build their own houses, but it is clear that the customs officials are not doing their job, but this is also inevitable, and in the end, both the customs and local officials try to show their enthusiasm for these people who send money from thousands of miles away.

Every year, there are more than 2 million tea alone!

"This flag has to be removed, since they are not diplomatic envoys, they can't hang their flag here casually!"

Yang Qing said.

Zheng Zhilong immediately nodded.

Then his men shouted a few words to the oared boat that followed, and the latter immediately accelerated forward, and soon the boat docked to convey the order of the Lord Protector. Then the customs officer who was waiting there hurriedly gave orders to the few ghosts who were also waiting, and the latter ran back to lower their flags, and returned to the dock like well-behaved dogs, smiling all over their faces.

Yang Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"I like their obedient attitude!"

He said.

"That is, on our territory, they have to be like the family dogs!"

Zheng Zhilong said.

Then both of them burst out laughing at the same time.

Immediately after the cruiser docked, the customs officers came forward to greet them, and behind them a crowd of Englishmen, Dutchmen, French, and even Spaniards, all groveling and smiling like the family's dogs, to greet the Lord Protector, who had generously given them everything.

Of course, it is impossible for them to translate the word Lord Protector, in fact they call Yang Qing Regent......

Regent.
