Chapter 525: Military High Pressure, Economic and Cultural Low Pressure
After listening to what Gu San Mazi said, Zhu Youxiao nodded, and walked directly towards the location of the Macao prefect and the Yamen of the Lifting Division, accompanied by a group of naval officers.
And the so-called envoy of Great Britain, Namodo, was simply ignored.
In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, he is also good-tempered, a fart envoy of the island country dared to see his majesty the emperor, and he actually shouted directly, if his previous temper was directly launched at noon gate and beheaded, it was also a loss that he was in a good mood now, otherwise he might not necessarily have to sacrifice his head to the flag when he arrived in Macao for the first time.
At this time, Britain was also a rising empire in Europa, and even the traditional power of Europa, Franc Ji, was no longer in his eyes, let alone the Ming Dynasty in East Asia.
Therefore, when Namodo saw that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to his own dignified envoy, he couldn't help but feel very angry, and shouted again: "Stop! Didn't you hear what was going on? I, the Great Britain State, would like to protest against this act! β
"Protest fart!"
Zhu Youxiao secretly scolded, and whispered to Gu San Mazi: "Why are you stunned, pull out a gun and shoot him, it's really noisy, it's this age, these Westerners are still so arrogant, do you really want to force me to hit his door in order to have a long memory?" β
"Yes!"
Gu San Mazi responded, and raised his hand to shoot.
There was only a click, and in the blink of an eye, a bullet burrowed into the head of the British messenger Namodo, and directly shot out a blood hole one inch wide.
Namodo's eyes widened and he fell to the ground in shock.
Before the guards behind him could raise their guns, they were used by the snipers of the Fourth Army of the Ming Dynasty who were buried everywhere to re-shoot and killed.
Li Mingrui couldn't help but give Gu San Mazi a thumbs up at this time: "Mr. Gu is good at marksmanship, he didn't even look at it, and he shot this person with one shot when he raised his hand." β
"As Your Majesty said, this person's voice is too loud, and you can tell where he is by listening with your ears", Gu San Mazi replied with a smile, and continued to walk forward with Zhu Youxiao and the others.
The corpses of the five Britons fell to the ground in this way, and Namodo convulsed a few more times and vomited several mouthfuls of blood before he died completely.
This is the current Da Ming!
It is invincible to be strong, and the so-called British Empire on which the sun never sets in the future is just like an ant in the eyes of the Ming monarchs and ministers, whether you protest or not, there is only one way to die if you commit a taboo.
Western officials and businessmen from other countries who came to China looked at these corpses with stunned faces.
Although it was the Britons who killed them, they also had a sense of empathy, but at this moment they could only hide their anger in their hearts and did not dare to move in the slightest.
Because they can guess that if they have the slightest intention or show the slightest dissatisfaction at this time, not only will they not earn a penny in Daming, but they will even sleep here for a long time!
The corpses of these Western Oceans continued to be dragged on the boat by the people hired by the Yamen of the prefect of Macau and sailed to the distant sea to feed the sharks directly, which is the habit after the opening of the government in Macau, the Ming Dynasty has absolute extraterritoriality, and the foreign countries that violated the criminal law and died in the territory of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to be buried in the land of the Ming Dynasty, so as to avoid dirtying the soil of the Ming Dynasty, so most of them are thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish.
Because of this, most of the Western merchants who trade with the Ming Dynasty now behave more well-behaved, even if they are sometimes oppressed by the local Han people, sometimes they can only endure it, and dare not have the slightest disrespect.
Today's prefect of Macau and the city's promotion department is Guan Shaoning, a group of jinshi admitted in the eighth year of the Apocalypse, and he can be regarded as a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven who has been really promoted since Zhu Youxiao became the emperor.
In order to show that he attaches great importance to him, Zhu Youxiao also specially added to him the official title of the imperial history of the right capital, which is not subject to the control of the governor of Guangdong and the governor of Liangguang, and is directly responsible to himself.
At this time, Guan Shaoning had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Youxiao coming, he was busy saluting, but Zhu Youxiao immediately helped him up, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while and entered the city.
Because the people of Franc live here all the year round, Macao is the most Western-style town among the major towns in the Ming Dynasty, and even the prefect's yamen is a Gothic building made of marble, which looks gorgeous and fashionable.
The same is true of other buildings on the street, and there are even many churches, for preaching, Zhu Youxiao is not strictly prohibited, but it must be under the control of the imperial court, which is conducive to cultural exchanges between China and the West and does not make foreign religions have too much impact on local religions.
If most of the merchants in Guangzhou are still engaged in various large and small trades in the Ming Dynasty, most of them are Western shops in Macao.
Almost all of the people in the city of Macao are Westerners and even people from India, they form the bottom foundation of Macau, and the Han people here are mostly people in the government except for some craftsmen, so this is still full of foreign atmosphere, but now the Han people live in the first class, and some places are not allowed to enter the West casually, such as the inner city where the prefect's yamen is located, once there is an outer fan within ten steps of the direct shooting.
Now when Zhu Youxiao came to the inner city gate, he saw the bluestone slab that was still red, and he could guess that he was only afraid of killing a group of people not long ago, and then looked at the Western heads hanging on the inner city gate, so he couldn't help but say to Guan Shaoning: "I let you take care of Macau, not for you to turn this place into hell on earth, but for you to take care of this money-making place, don't go straight to the strict punishment law, so as not to scare these Western fans, and if appropriate, you can also give some encouragement, such as allowing Western fans with high tax credit to apply for residence permits, Enjoy the same children's education rights and other welfare benefits as the local people of the Ming Dynasty, and tax reductions can also be appropriately reduced for some commodities that are encouraged to be bought and sold. β
"Wechen understands, but now there are still many of these Westerners who still don't understand the rules, Wechen has to use a few heads to set up rules, for those Western businessmen who abide by the rules, Wechen are polite, and Wechen and Gu Zongbing have promised that as long as their goods are hijacked by pirates within our jurisdiction, we can be obliged to help them defeat the pirates and recapture the goods, but the premise is that they have tax records in Macau or other cities in Daming."
"In addition, Wechen has also opened a Macao Foreign Affairs School, one is to train some interpreters who are familiar with overseas, and the second is to allow some children who are either rich and knowledgeable and virtuous Westerners to receive education, and the subsidy will be increased by my prefect's yamen, and it has been approved by the school department, they can also participate in the imperial examination, and the ministry has also been approved by you, and they can also be officials in the imperial court in the future."
After Guan Shaoning said, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Culturally, it is the best policy to adopt the policy of tolerance and peaceful assimilation, militarily to adopt the style of never giving in and domineering, and economically to be rich in wisdom and plundering wisdom!" β
