The Huang family's private soldiers also found many gold and silver treasures from the garden of the Franc man's house, behind the fireplace, under the bedboard and so on. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In addition to the cargo that was looted for more than a year, the property obtained by seizing Macao was no less than 8 million taels of silver.

A projectile land has been leased for 80 years, and the rent of 8 million taels is still relatively affordable, and I don't know which Xiyi will come to negotiate such a good deal in the future? If there is Huang Sheng, he is very sincerely welcome.

Mascolu also put the score of the Portuguese governor stationed in Ho Jing O, and protested at every turn.

Guo Huaiyi was a pirate, and he didn't pay any attention to any protests, and his methods were simple and crude, but they were effective.

It was only after starving Mascolus for three days that the boy finally understood that he was nothing more than an insignificant captive, and obediently accepted the reality.

In order to block the news, it was announced that Macau was broken by Guo Huaiyi's pirate group, and the soldiers and civilians on the island were all killed.

The Huang family navy is an out-and-out good person, not only do they not plunder, but they also constantly fight pirates.

In the end, the official news of the Ming Dynasty was that the governor of Liangguang led his men and horses to defeat Guo Huai's gang and recapture Macao after a hard battle, but unfortunately the Ming army came too late, and the soldiers and civilians of the island were slaughtered by the murderous pirate gang.

Of course, Huang Sheng will not exterminate these Westerners, but disperse them to ten counties in Hainan for a year or two, and then they can work in exchange for a better life, and women will be allowed to do the skin and meat business.

Often these people are well-behaved after being consumed for a while, and when the time comes, it will be easy to recruit sailors, gunners, and death squads.

Guo Huaiyi fought in the South China Sea for more than two years, and the navy suffered small losses and big gains; according to the reports of several town officials, Guo Huaiyi did not even look at the gold and silver treasures he had robbed, and all the gold and silver treasures were sealed and handed over under the supervision of town control officials at all levels.

As soon as Guo Huai came to Lingao, Hainan Island, he saw Huang Sheng, who was about to continue to the north after inspecting the work, and received the holy decree that the imperial court canonized him as a Zhengsanpin coastal defense guerrilla.

This veteran pirate found that he had actually ascended to the sky in one step and became a serious three-rank general of the imperial court, and he couldn't help crying for a while.

It took him a long time to soothe his overly excited emotions, and he knelt down and kowtowed with a serious face: "The humble duty is a reckless grass on the sea, and I am grateful to receive the grace of the lord, and I am willing to be an adult dog and horse from now on, and the court will not go to the humble post in this life, and I dare not go." ”

Guo Huaiyi knows how to weigh up, it's very good, Huang Sheng said with a smile: "General Guo's performance in the past two years is remarkable, and this official sees it, and now the garrison in the South China Sea will continue to attack the nearby Xiaoxiao, and in the future, our navy will go to the Strait of Malacca to blockade there." ”

How did Guo Huaiyi not know the importance of the Strait of Malacca, hearing the words of the head of the family, his eyes lit up with excitement, he had already heard that the former alliance leader Zheng Yiguan went there, but he didn't know if he could gain a foothold.

He believed that with the strength of the Huang family's navy, it was entirely possible to control the Strait of Malacca, but it would also withstand the blows of various forces, and the benefits and risks were extremely huge, and he was eager to participate in this challenging military operation.

The Strait of Malacca is a long strait located between the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian island of Sumatra, located in the equatorial windless zone, with very little wind and waves, slow currents, and calm waves.

It is an important link between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and as early as the fourth century AD, Persian merchants opened a route from the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca through the South China Sea to China.

They shipped Chinese silk, porcelain, tea, and spices from the Maluku Islands to Rome and other European countries for sale.

Huang Sheng plans to start taking Malacca after a while, and then effectively control the strait, so that he will not need to be a pirate in the future, and he will be able to make a fortune by collecting tolls and protection fees.

It's just that there are too many countries and pirate groups that are coveted in this way, and if they don't have enough force to deter them, they will bring about their own destruction.

Guo Huaiyi saluted again and said loudly: "My lord, I have been to the Strait of Malacca many times, if our Huang family is ready to attack there, I am willing to take the lead." ”

Huang Sheng said: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and it can't be done in a short time, General Guo can first improve the sea chart, and send sentinel ships to reconnoiter from time to time. ”

"My lord, the lowly will promise to complete the task within a year, and the lowly will personally take the warship to explore and there will be no omissions."

The foothold in the Strait of Malacca that Huang Sheng aims at is naturally Singapore in the future, but the appetite is huge, and it is not this small place that can be satisfied, the entire Malay Peninsula and Sumatra - the Han people deserve it!

――――

Lan Caier and the crew have staged three new plays in Beijing, in order to attract more audiences, tickets have been dropped again and again, but it is not the price of the Huang family system performance.

Because the life of the Ming Dynasty's Shengdou Xiaomin is too difficult, even if it drops to 100 yuan for ordinary theater tickets, they are reluctant to spend money to go to the theater.

Therefore, robbing the rich and helping the poor must also have, the repertoire staged by the Beijing Division, ordinary theater tickets are sold for three taels of silver, box tickets are sold for five taels, and four or five hundred low-level people are still organized to watch the play for nothing in each show, not only that, but also send two cooking cakes as supper.

The quality of the common people in Beijing is higher than that in the poor countryside, and the Huang family spares no effort to give preferential treatment to the good people in Beijing, and now good people have emerged in an endless stream, and neighbors have gradually become the norm to help each other.

Cai'er, who was directing the rehearsal of a new play at the Grand Theater in the morning, heard that a eunuch in the palace asked to see her, she felt strange, the people she dealt with were female officials and concubines, how could there be eunuchs coming to the door?

After a while, the personal maid brought a white eunuch who was not about forty years old, this eunuch should not be a eunuch, his clothes had been washed off, and he was quite neatly tied.

When the visitor saw Cai'er, he knelt down and kowtowed, "The old slave Liu Yingkun has seen Lan Shangyi. ”

"Liu Yingkun?" This name seems to be a little familiar, Cai'er couldn't remember it for a while, and said: "This father-in-law got up to speak, and the official didn't seem to recognize you." ”

Liu Yingkun, who had saluted, got up and said: "Lan Shangyi, you really don't recognize the old slave, but Nan'an Hou recognizes it, and the old slave asked himself if he was worthy of the Hou Ye when he was supervising the army in Liaodong before." ”

Cai'er is a very smart woman, although she can't forget it, it's not far away! At this time, as soon as Liu Yingkun's words came out, she immediately knew that this was Liu Yingkun, the chief eunuch of Liaodong who had been in power in the year of the Apocalypse.

"Oh! It turned out to be Grandpa Liu, please take a seat. Then the maid brought tea.

Liu Yingkun sat on half of his ass next to the chair, looking sincerely frightened.

Cai'er didn't know anything about Liu Yingkun's current situation, and asked: "When will Gonggong Liu return to Beijing to be on duty?" In which prison is he now? ”

Liu Yingkun sighed and said gloomily: "Back to Lord Shangyi, the old slave was recalled in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and he has been on duty in the Huanyi Bureau for five years. ”

Cai'er is a native of Beijing, and she often walks around the palace, so she knows that the Huanyi Bureau is a place to send people who are in love.

Located to the west of Desheng Gate, the Huanyi Bureau is the only eunuch institution among the 24 prisons that is not in the palace, and is filled by the guilty and retired palace people. There is a member of the eunuch with the palm seal, and there is no fixed number of people for the secretary and the supervisor.

Cai'er knew the grade and clothing of the eunuchs, and it was obvious that Liu Yingkun was a miscellaneous servant with no grade.
