Chapter 233: A Parting Gift!

This is not over, for several months, the coastal area has been scratched, and the livelihood of the coastal people has been severely damaged, which also makes him restless, but fortunately, that Zheng Lianchang still tried his best and had the ability to make this smoke gradually subside.

But what he didn't expect was that Ruan Van Hui, who was the most capable of fighting among the three Ruan brothers, failed to hold on this time, and the Xishan Dynasty, which had been in Annam for more than 20 years, was gone, and Li Weiqi, the lord of Annam, who was like a wild dog, actually returned to Annam again with the help of the Qing State.

Becoming the lord of Annan who is honest and obedient makes Ruan Phuc Anh very uncomfortable, but now is definitely not a good opportunity to attack again, because it is the autumn harvest season, and if he wants to move his troops, he can only delay it until winter, and if Liang Pengfei, the chief soldier of the Qing Navy Division who made Zheng Lianchang fold his cousin, is still in Hue, he has no idea of provoking the Qing Dynasty for the time being, after all, Ruan Van Hue is a lesson from his past.

However, he couldn't help but express a word or two to the Spaniards who had the audacity to rob his old nest Kunlun Island and harass his coastal areas, so the Nan Nguyen envoy represented by the French missionaries approached the Spanish governor of Luzon.

However, the governor of Luzon vehemently denied it, and there was indeed no evidence that the Spanish officers and soldiers had any connection with them, and the few mercenaries who escaped did not find any Spaniards who had attacked them in Manila.

However, since those Westerners hired a large number of pirates to raid the Nam Nguyen Sea many times, in the South Seas, apart from the Spaniards, only the British could have such ability.

So, after a fierce quarrel, the French did not have any conclusive evidence that this was the work of the Spaniards, and the governor of Luzon revealed to them a message that the Spanish treasure convoy had been attacked by the French, and finally the Spanish treasure convoy defeated these guys, only to find out that these people were actually all British pretend.

Although more than a year has passed since this incident, there are many witnesses to the convoy, most of them are still in Manila, and this matter has already been presented to King Carlos IV of Spain by Baron Edmond of the Treasure Fleet. So they turned their attention to the British, who roamed India and the Malay Peninsula, because the British had a history of doing such things.

--------------------

However, the British East India Company vehemently denied this, believing that some country with ulterior motives was trying to sow discord between the two countries.

There is no evidence of this kind of thing, there is no way to make those British succumb, plus the British have always been at odds with France in Europe, and although Britain's influence in Asia is not small, the problem is that they did not set up a colonial governor here, just a company as the lead, that is, the East India Company, if you want to sue, you have to run back to Europe, this back and forth will take a year or two, I don't know if it can be done.

Ruan Fuying could only stare dryly, although the French under his command were unwilling, they were also helpless, so they had to stop the idea of pursuing it.

Hearing the news, Liang Pengfei was secretly proud in his heart, he was the director of this incident, and the starring role was naturally a group of Spanish officers and Western pirates, I am afraid that except for himself, no one would really guess the matter on his head.

After all, for Westerners, it is really difficult to associate such a thing with oneself when doing such a thing, and most of the people who act are Westerners.

Unfortunately, France's power in the East was too weak, and besides, the French king was currently squatting in prison, and the situation in the country was in chaos, and the revolutionaries jumped out one after another, and then let the latecomers lie down, which was too lively.

"Many of our people have infiltrated Nam Nguyen's territory, and they have all gone with those displaced people. So far, we have received no feedback. Sun Shijie reported to Liang Pengfei.

"It's okay, it's only been two months, settle down, and avoid letting those Nanruan people find out, so it's nothing at night, but you must not relax." Liang Pengfei was sitting in his study, looking at the official documents in his hand, and commanded.

These days, all affairs have been on the right track, the matter of military training has been handed over to the subordinate generals to do, and the business affairs are taken care of by Pan and Ye, and the sailors of Nan Ruan are currently in a hurry, and there is no effort to attack the north at all.

Therefore, Liang Pengfei's daily affairs are to look at the official documents issued by his subordinates in various places and the news from China, and he usually thinks about how to clean up Nanruan, so as to strive to completely control Annan as soon as possible.

"Young master, Mr. Luo has arrived, and he is already waiting outside the courtyard gate, are you going to see him?" At this time, the voice of the pro-soldier came from outside the door.

"Please, put these away, and I'll see it when I'm free." Liang Pengfei threw the official document aside and instructed Bai Shusheng, got up and went to the door.

"Young Master Liang, oh no, I should call you Your Excellency the General." After shaving his head, leaving a small strand of hair tied into a braid at the back of his head, wearing Western clothes, and looking like a ghost, Romes walked into the door happily, and after seeing Liang Pengfei, he first stroked his chest and saluted, and after he seemed to think that something was wrong, he changed to a fist salute.

Liang Pengfei stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold it: "No need to be polite, I said Lao Luo, how about it?" All things are done? ”

Romax looked relieved: "Yes, the matter is finally done, and my great-grandfather and grandfather are finally settled in their hometown."

It wasn't a long time here, but you made me feel at home and gave me so many dividends, you know, although my family's business in Venice is very large, I really didn't expect to be able to make such a huge profit in just one year.

Now, too, I should go back to Europe, to Venice to my father and brothers, to let them know the news sooner, and to reassure them sooner. Or because he was a little too excited because he received a dividend of nearly 200,000 taels within a year, Romax seemed a little incoherent when he spoke, but Liang Pengfei could understand his mood and was not surprised by Romax's farewell.

"Two full years have passed since you left Venice, and it is time to go back, but the distance between the East and the West is too long, and there are bandits in between, so you have to be cautious if you want to return to Venice safely." Liang Pengfei handed Romez a cigar and said with a pleasant face.

For more than a year, Liang Pengfei regarded Romes as a treasure, in order to take out everything he knew from his mouth, it can be said that he responded to his needs, but Romez did not have many businessmen's minds, so that Liang Pengfei could get many things he wanted from him very smoothly.

Not only is he more aware of the situation in the West, but he also has a strong interest in Venice, a city that is not unified with Italy, but many states and principalities spread across the land of the former Roman Empire, and Venice is one of them.

And the Venetian merchant is still quite popular in the whole of Europe, so Liang Pengfei did not give up the idea of squeezing the last trace of bone oil from Romez. "You have done so many things for our old Liang family in the past year or so, and I don't know how to thank you, so I must help you return to Venice safely." Liang Pengfei was serious, and his expression and tone of sticking a knife in the ribs for his friends and brothers made Romax quite moved.

--------------------

"I'm going to send a fleet of three warships to escort you back to Venice." Liang Pengfei pursed his lips and expressed his goodwill to Naromes, but the teeth were too white, and he was a little miserable.

"My God, Young Master Liang, you're not joking, are you? You want to send a battleship to escort me back to Venice?! Romez's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Of course I'm not joking with you, I've already contacted a few Western merchants, and they've heard that we've sent warships to the West, and they're more than willing to go with us and lead the way for my warships, and with their help, plus my warships and those valiant soldiers, you'll be able to return to Venice." Liang Pengfei patted Romax on the shoulder and laughed.

"I am so touched by your generosity that I can't reciprocate, and it seems that the Easterners are indeed much more benevolent and righteous than those Westerners." Romez's eyes were a little red, and he felt like he had put a large piece of freshly roasted sweet potato in his arms in Layue, and his heart was warm and hot.

"It's okay, besides, I might need a little favor from you then. As you know, there are many merchants from the West who come to our East, but very few of us in the East can go out of this land and go to the outside world to have a look, so this time, in addition to sailors and some goods, I am also going to send 600 people to the West, to set up some shops and do some business in various Western countries, and I also want to know more about the differences between East and West......"

"This is no problem, although it is wrapped up in me, our Luo family has its own marketing channels in several countries in the West, as long as they want, our Luo family can send them to any country in Europe." Romax patted his chest and said to Liang Pengfei.

"Great, this is my greatest gratification to get your promise, you can rest here for a while, and when my men and the warships and those Western merchants arrive here, you will get on the ship and set off, of course, I have already converted your dividends into gold, don't forget to bring them with you when the time comes." Okay, let's go, I'll take you to taste this Annan specialty. Liang Pengfei, who was in a happy mood, took Romez's hand and walked towards the back garden, where a banquet had been prepared for the two of them to have a good drink.
