Thinking like this, the smile on his face deepened!

At this time, in Johor Bahru City, Liao Qing was holding a letter that had just been translated, and his face was full of sadness. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the latest information from the Qing Kingdom, and he should have been happy after looking forward to it for so long. It's just that the content above is too heavy for him to be happy.

Because the letter said that as early as mid-February, Britain sent an envoy to Qing for the second time. The reason given is to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne!

And that's what happened last year.

At that time, Emperor Jiaqing ascended the throne, and Emperor Qianlong retreated. The development trajectory is completely consistent with the history books. There was no major deflection due to the appearance of the Ming Dynasty.

The Daming Intelligence Department also got the news in advance.

Britain used this reason, but it was very grandiose.

It's just that before this, Da Ming didn't hear anything about the second British envoy to the Qing Kingdom.

It's weird!

At this moment, looking at the information on the intelligence, Liao Qing realized that Britain was following Sulu, Lanfang and other small countries in the South Seas, avoiding the sight of the Ming Dynasty and blending into the Qing Kingdom.

This made Liao Qing suddenly realize!

Because these small countries have informed the Ming Dynasty of the relevant situation before paying tribute to the Qing State. Considering the Ming merchants, they could be borrowed in their name and dumped in the Qing country. The Ming Dynasty agreed to these small countries and paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

Britain took advantage of this opportunity to mix its own missions into small tributary countries such as Sulu and Lanfang.

So Da Ming relaxed his vigilance and allowed them to get through in the dark.

Later, the British envoy met with Emperor Qianlong and deliberately presented evidence that the Ming wanted to attack the Qing Dynasty. Under the persuasion of a group of envoys, the Qing Dynasty changed its attitude.

After figuring out the reason, Liao Qing did not delay, and immediately rushed to the Commander's Mansion to inform Nanfeng.

Originally, this news should have been delivered to Johor Bahru a month in advance. It's just that Daming mostly uses carrier pigeons in the way of communication. At the beginning of this year, according to the observation and estimation of the Institute of Tomorrow and Literature, it was the peak period of sunspots, and the aurora phenomenon at the north and south poles was twice as much as in previous years.

As a result, the Earth's north-south magnetic field is also disturbed.

The carrier pigeons, which had been using magnetic fields to discern directions, were affected, dizzy, and lost contact.

In addition, Magorny knew that the main means of communication of the Ming Dynasty was carrier pigeons, so he issued a 'pigeon killing order'. Specifically, it is to use bounties to induce the people of Nanyang to kill carrier pigeons. British merchants, at the behest of Magorny, collected carrier pigeons at high prices in these places. Whether it is alive or dead, even if it is rotten into bones, it is willing to recycle.

This has made it common for pigeons to be killed all over the South Seas.

Although Daming has also issued a 'ban on killing' accordingly! The people in the country are not allowed to kill and catch carrier pigeons. People who have this kind of behavior are also not allowed to move to Daming. But in this era, there is no such high-tech, real-time monitoring as later generations.

Therefore, this 'ban on killing' is only in the Ming Dynasty, and it still has some effect. Those places such as Siam and Burma that are not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty are very unsatisfactory. Many people still regard this as a profitable business. After all, Daming is far away, and it is impossible to stare at them every day to kill or not kill carrier pigeons.

When you earn enough money, you still move to Daming. And with a small savings, you can live a richer life.

It is difficult for carrier pigeons passing through Southeast Asia to fly back to Daming safely.

Fortunately, this information is very important. Daming's intelligence officers made two preparations. At the same time as the flying pigeon passed the book, he also deliberately sent people to take a boat back to Daming to deliver the message.

As a result, this time was slowed down by nearly a month.

It was precisely by taking advantage of this time difference that the British persuaded the Qing to win over Siam and let the situation develop in a direction unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.

When he saw Nanfeng, Liao Qing didn't have time to take a breath, so he presented the information he had just translated and stated the content in person.

After listening to it, Nan Feng read the information sent carefully again. The focused eyes seemed to be about to eat the words in their stomachs.

After a full quarter of an hour, Nan Feng silently put down the information. And from his pocket, he took out a cigarette. With a click, a small flame was created out of thin air. When approaching the cigarette, the pure white smoke rises slightly. After a few puffs of silence, a circle of smoke slowly flowed down his mouth and nose to the outside of his body.

When it cleared, the smoke became hazy. Reflecting Nanfeng's handsome face, it is both distant and melancholy.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Nanfeng is a non-smoker.

Unless it's a difficult problem to solve, or something annoying. Liao Qing and Nan Feng have worked together for so long, and they have only seen Nan Feng smoke twice. Counting this, there are only three times. Then he sat quietly and waited for Nanfeng to think clearly.

I don't know how long it took, Liao Qing sat and felt that his legs were going numb. Nan Feng spoke up: "So, Lan Fang, Su Lu, these small countries, are they going to betray the Ming Dynasty?" ”。 With the guarded attitude of the Qing State towards Westerners, as well as the unpleasant experience of the last time Magorny sent to the Qing State. Whether the Qing Dynasty allowed the British mission to enter the country was a question mark.

When Liao Qing heard this, he nodded without hesitation, and replied with a serious expression: "According to the information on the intelligence, without the help of Sulu and Lan Fang, the British mission would not be able to go to Qingguo." ”。 After all, on the sea of the South Seas, all the Ming warships are swimming. It is impossible for any British ship to appear in the South Seas with great fanfare.

After a pause, he continued: "And the intelligence officers who were ambushed in Sulu and Lanfang by our country before sent back the news. The relationship between these two countries and the British forces in Malacca is somewhat ambiguous. ”。

Nanfeng knows this!

At that time, in order to let these small countries know what was going on, the Nanyang Fleet also went to their territory to deter. After that, the two countries drove out the British in the territory non-stop, and banned British goods from circulating in the territory.

also presented a large number of generous gifts to let Daming dissipate his anger.

Because of the reorganization of the armament, the Ming did not want to use force. He accepted the sincerity of Lan Fang and Sulu and withdrew the warship.

I didn't expect these two small countries to be so dishonest. Behind the scenes, colluding with the British made the situation of the Ming Dynasty so unfavorable.

Do they think that with the protection of the British, the Ming Dynasty will not dare to touch them? Especially that Lanfang, who is obviously a small Chinese country with the same origin as the Ming Dynasty, but colluded with Western forces.

It's really a book of numbers!

If it weren't for the lack of energy, Daming would have cleaned them up a long time ago. Borneo has long become the Borneo province of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Nan Feng was so angry that he said coldly: "It seems that Da Ming, it's time to teach them a lesson!" Otherwise, they still think that Da Ming doesn't know anything! ”。 Then someone called Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao to come over and discuss the punishment of Lan Fang and Suluguo.

In military matters, Liao Qing has always asked about it, and if he doesn't interfere, he won't say no.
