Chapter 167: The Situation of the Franc Machine
After the dispute between the Turks in Kaiping was resolved, Wang Yan took his soldiers and horses around Zhaoqing Mansion, and the disputes in Xinhui, Taishan and other places were quickly calmed down.
Wang Yan was ordered by He Gang to pacify the Guangnan Prefectures, and let his staff Li Suiqiu help him, presiding over the relocation of guests to Qiong, as well as recovering the land of the guests, and organizing and training the government army, Dai Zhifan was also left in Kaiping, and his task was to recruit 10,000 soldiers, so as to form Wang Yan's pro-army.
Wang Yan felt that after the Hakka moved into Qiongzhou, whether it was to build houses and farm, or to reclaim and pioneer, a large number of young people were needed.
Wang Yan's strategy for dealing with the dispute between the Turks and the Guests was also quickly spread to Guangnan, and the villagers of Guangnan and the Guest people also found that the government that had previously been with the mud had become unprecedentedly tough this time, and the private fighting between the Turks and the Guest was completely forbidden.
Whether it is moving guests to Qiong, or organizing and training government soldiers, and recruiting new soldiers, it is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, so after the dispute between the Turks and guests affecting the four provinces gradually subsided, Wang Yan led the soldiers and horses, passed Xinhui, and drove directly to Macao.
Originally, Wang Yan still had 1.4 million taels of silver in his account, but with the recovery of Hakka land, the relocation of guests to Qiong, and the recruitment of new pawns, the remaining silver will soon be consumed.
When Wang Yan left, he had already allocated 400,000 taels of silver to He Gang, and another 100,000 taels to Dai Zhifan for the payment of the newly recruited capital target settlement fee, and it was just the beginning, and there may be more silver taels to settle down in the future.
Watching the silver money being consumed one by one, Wang Yandun felt like he was sitting and eating empty, so it was imminent to open the road of maritime trade.
This was not only for the huge tax revenue brought by trade, but also because if the guests wanted to enter Qiongzhou, they had to ensure the safety of the sea route first.
The Guangdong Navy Division is inferior to the Fujian Navy Division in terms of combat power, but it is impossible for the soldiers to get much improvement in a short period of time, so Wang Yan can only want to do a good job and sharpen his weapons first.
With the loss of Beidi and Jiangnan, a large number of craftsmen and cannon casting workshops who were good at making firearms also fell into the hands of the Qing court.
In the 32nd year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, in the name of drying goods, the Franc machine obtained the right of residence in Macao at the cost of paying 500 taels of land rent every year.
In the forty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Carlo was appointed governor of Australia, but he did not take office. Tomorrow, three years from the beginning, the next Governor of Macao, Masgar Road, will officially take up his post in Macao.
At this point, the Franc machine man fortified and garrisoned in Macao, and began to build a fort in the official residence, breaking the original promise, but the relationship between the Franc machine man and the Ming Dynasty at this time was okay.
At that time, because of the relationship between Francois and Spain, Philip II of the Spanish Habsburg Dynasty announced that he was also the king of Portugal, Francois was annexed by the Spaniards, and it was still another Hongyi that rose, and the Dutch began to dominate the sea and attack Francois everywhere.
In the second year of tomorrow's reign, the Dutch invaded Macao on a large scale, dispatched eight warships from Batavia, and combined with four warships of the captain Miao Huo, equipped with 60 huge cannons and 1,000 soldiers, under the command of the Dutch Admiral Reison, set out on 10 June and went straight to Macao.
With the annexation of Portugal by Spain and the rise of the Netherlands, the once glorious Francophone man is no longer without the glory of the past, so he still abides by his duty in Macau, and the Ming Dynasty has also visited Macao many times to buy artillery.
At this time, the governor of Macao had been passed to the seventh Yi Susha, and when he got the Ming Dynasty's Chu Guogong and Wang Yan, the general town of Guangdong, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to approach Macao, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Even if the Ming Dynasty lost the north and the south of the Yangtze River, in the eyes of the Francophone people, it was still a behemoth.
It has been less than a year since Yi Susha took over as governor, and he can't compare with the previous old governor Schrobao, and he basically has no experience, so when he learned that the 5,000 Ming army was approaching Macao, he immediately became in chaos.
The Jesuit Bai Yingli, who came to Macao in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, devoted himself to studying Chinese Confucianism, and learned about Chinese history and etiquette.
"Daming is a state of etiquette, and will not raise troops for no reason, Your Excellency the Governor, have you done anything that displeased Daming, go to apologize immediately, and maybe you can get the duke's understanding."
After Ricci went west, the Jesuits' missionary strategy in China changed and became very radical, which led to incidents such as the Nanjing Lesson Plan and the Fujian Lesson Plan, and the missionary cause was at an impasse.
After listening to Bai Yingli's words, Yi Susha remembered that he felt that the Ming Dynasty was turbulent and had no time to take care of the small land of Macao, so he took it upon himself to seize the rent of 500 taels and 10,000 taels of commercial tax that was originally to be paid to the Ming government.
It wasn't because of this incident that he annoyed Da Ming, and Yi Susha was suddenly anxious, "Lord~ Forgive your faithful believers, I shouldn't have withheld the taxes that were originally going to be paid to China because of greed, I'm guilty!" Bringing calamity to the believers of the Lord, beseech the Lord's forgiveness, Amen! ”
"China values faithfulness, His Excellency the Governor withholds taxes, and the Chinese will no longer believe us!" Bai Yingli drew a cross on his chest, and then said: "In order to avoid bringing disaster to Macau, I ask His Excellency the Governor to immediately return the land rent and taxes to the Duke, perhaps the Duke will consider withdrawing the army and give the Governor a chance to make amends." ”
Wang Yan lacked financial resources in his hands, so he was really annoyed that the Francois did not pay taxes, but he did not mean to drive away the Francophiles, after all, the Francophiles only had the right to reside in Macao.
Since the Han and Tang dynasties, both the countries of the Western Regions and the Korean and Japanese people in the east have sent a large number of envoys to China, and many people have settled down, as well as the Hu merchants of the Western Regions and the big food merchants on the sea, there have been a large number of people who have settled in China, so in Wang Yan's view, there is no problem with the Francois who only has the right of residence.
Wang Yan's thoughts, Yi Su Sha and Bai Yingli, naturally did not know, so when he was not close to Macao, Bai Yingli took Yi Su Sha's entrustment, and the taxes and silver that should have been paid, met Wang Yan's army.
