Nie Xian was confused, and the angry old shipowner rolled his eyes. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info people like him who have been in power for many years hate the word "old".

Nie Xian really didn't care, looked at Mo Yan and sneered: "Yesterday, my army went down to another island and captured more than 500 pirates, you better go back quickly, so that the old thieves of the Mo family don't have to resist stubbornly, otherwise as soon as the army arrives behind, the thieves and dogs of the Mo family will not stay!" ”

The fact that the Ming Navy captured Mojia Island again was pure nonsense, and the army behind it was even more illusory, but now that everyone was on the old shipowner's island, Nie Xian naturally didn't believe that this kind of news would come so quickly, so he didn't worry about being exposed at all.

Sure enough, as Nie Xian expected, Mo Yan's face immediately turned pale after hearing the news, when he came, there were indeed thousands of Ming troops storming an important island, and he didn't know if it was broken at this time.

As soon as Nie Xian saw Mo Yan's face change, he immediately hit the railroad while it was hot: "The Mo family knows that they are invincible to the heavenly army of our imperial court, so Xiang took the opportunity to pull the old shipowner into this troubled water, and wanted to fish in the troubled waters, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, how can such a trick be hidden from the old shipowner?" ”

Mo Yan stretched his neck and argued forcefully: "You are talking nonsense, there are only twelve ships in the imperial court, and my Mo family occupies Dawan and operates for three generations, how can it be easily destroyed by you?"

Old ship owner, this time my Mo family ancestor sent Mo to discuss how to control the entire South Seas. As soon as the imperial court opened the sea ban, the merchant ships here were densely exchanged, and you and I had been in the South China Sea for many years.

It is true that the Ming Dynasty is strong, but their inland affairs have not yet calmed down, where is the strength to hold me hostage? At this time, the Ming Navy is just a newborn baby, if you and I join forces, we can completely strangle it in the cradle, and then you can sit back and relax. ”

When Nie Xian heard this, he couldn't help but glance at this Mo Yangao, but he didn't expect that he did have a bit of eloquence.

The Ming Navy was born, and its power was not yet stable. Although the twelve large ships are invincible, the funds required are extremely large, and it is difficult to expand the scale without the support of the money obtained after the opening of the sea ban.

The profits of the imperial court, the collection of customs duties is only a part, and the rest depends on the imperial court's own shipment trade, and the profit in it is the majority.

The Ming Dynasty has been open for many years, and there is nothing in the treasury except for silver. Silk cloth, tea porcelain, all kinds of grain and herbs can almost be said to be piled up, these things may not be able to be exchanged for silver in the Ming Dynasty, but if they are pulled to Fusang, or other small border countries, they will immediately become a large pile of gold and silver.

However, it is a pity that the Ming fleet is all entrusted to the battlefield, and it is impossible for so many goods to be moved by small boats and ants.

In terms of future generations, this situation is the rupture of the capital chain, and the consequence of the rupture of the capital chain is a total collapse.

The old ship owner nodded imperceptibly, what Mo Yan said was not wrong, if the sea route was controlled, as long as one of the three ships was collected, it would also be a mountain of gold and silver.

Nie Xian put down the tea bowl and laughed, "It's all fart." I have a lot of resources and a strong army, how can I only have the scale of twelve ships?

Besides, you say that I am in chaos in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and there are a lot of border troubles, haha, how ridiculous. Not to mention that the Tatars led 100,000 iron cavalry to disrupt our Ming Dynasty, but they were half slaughtered by our Ming officials and soldiers, and returned to the grassland in disgrace.

It was the Korean War in the seventh year of Zhengde, and the three coalition forces couldn't bear to let us do anything, but they were wiped out by us, and the Joseon Dynasty also became a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty. ”

The old shipowner was slightly shocked in his heart, he did get the news that the entire Korean Kingdom had become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. If the subject country is the son of the neighbor's family, and it is usually a New Year's greeting, then the vassal country is its own son and nephew, and it is necessary to have a reunion dinner at the table during the New Year.

Basically, it can be said that the Kingdom of Korea has been placed under the rule of the Ming court.

Nie Xian didn't give Mo Yan a chance to speak, and continued to increase his bargaining chips: "Actually, this official is also here to give the old shipowner a birthday gift. ”

"Oh?" The old shipowner said lightly: "It's rare for angels to bother. ”

Nie Xian said with a smile: "It's okay, this time this official came to the old shipowner, and he was also ordered by the Son of Heaven." It's just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. ”

"I wonder what kind of flower the angel borrowed to offer to me, the Buddha?"

"This official came here at this time to discuss the matter of surrender with the old shipowner?"

The old shipowner took the case: "This is also a birthday gift?" Could it be that the angel is here to entertain the old man? ”

Even Mo Yan took the opportunity to fall into the well: "The old ship owner, this person obviously wants to take down the old shipowner's head without blood, but he can't let it go easily." ”

The old shipowner's eyes suddenly glared: "Come on, take them and expel the island!" ”

Nie Xian smiled coldly and scolded: "Mo family child, here is a place for you to speak?" ”

He turned to look at the old ship owner and said, "No, no, this official is not here to joke, but to send my emperor's great reward." ”

The old shipowner smiled coldly, not believing it.

"Although the old shipowner has dominated the South Seas for many years, in the final analysis, he is just a bandit who occupies the mountain. Now my son of heaven is very gracious, and he wants to take back the old ship owner under his command.

As long as the old ship owner agrees, then the son of tomorrow will have a holy decree to come to the world, and seal your old ship owner as the king of Singapore and a subject country of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the old ship owner is the rightful lord of the South Seas, and at that time there will be the Ming court as the backing, who in the world will not come to celebrate? ”

The old shipowner sneered: "I want to be a king and a king, where do I need the title of the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty?" After all, you still want to take in my subordinates and make me a lackey of Daming. ”

Nie Xian's expression immediately became sincere: "Da Ming has no such intentions, the old shipowner is really the king of the South Seas, but after all, the name is not right, and today the son has given this opportunity, the old shipowner should cherish it." And Da Ming didn't want to put Nanyang under his rule? ”

"With the Korean king Zhuyu in front, can't the old man of Daming's mind guess it, is it really an old man who is confused?"

Nie Xian laughed: "North Korea has become a Ming vassal country because there is only one woman left in the Korean royal family, and now she has become Her Royal Highness the Virtuous Concubine of my Great Tomorrow, could it be that the old ship owner also wants to be the concubine of my Great Tomorrow?" It's just the age and gender of the old shipowner, tsk, I'm afraid ......"

The old shipowner's face turned red, and he had heard a little about these things.

Nie Xian raised his hand to appease him, and said with a smile: "Don't think about the old shipowner who entered the palace as a concubine, I will give you the title of the king of Singapore tomorrow, but the idea of one country, two systems is saved." ”

"One country, two systems?"

"That's right, to put it bluntly, the old shipowner is only nominally a subject country of my Ming Dynasty, and the specific officials are still handled by yourself, but the annual tax is to be handed over to me by the Ming Dynasty, of course, the bottom line is five million taels of silver, only a lot more."

It is obvious that the king of Singapore does not care about anything, but no matter how much wealth they create every year, they have to come up with at least five million taels.

"Old shipmaster, this is already a great gift, you have to think carefully."
