Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Franc Machine Artillery

Li Ling solved Song Suqing and the group of envoys he led, although he was a little reckless, but he didn't regret it! This group of people is simply wolves in human skin, and if they don't give them a little ruthlessness, the Japanese will endlessly harass the maritime frontier of the Ming Dynasty. The people of the coast will suffer greatly.

"Big young master, it's all because I'm too reckless, if I hadn't ordered the slaughter of those Dongying people, I'm afraid I wouldn't have caused you to do such a thing!" Hachi is sad, but he really can't control himself.

His father was victimized by the inhumane Japanese robbers, and when he saw the Japanese in the fishing village, and even molested the women of the good family in front of him, he really couldn't control his emotions.

"Forget it, kill it, let's go and see what kind of treasure these widows have paid!" Li Ling had always been very curious, and he had heard that the silk, porcelain, and gold and silver that the imperial court gave back to the tribute envoys were worth a lot of money, even costing tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Yes, I was just trying to open my eyes!" Hachi quickly forgot his sorrows, the eldest young master has always been resourceful, he will definitely settle this matter!

The tributes of the two dynasties were placed in front of him, and he was naturally very curious!

Two boxes of paper fans, a box of inferior spices, and a few boxes of sea pearls, these are all the tributes offered by Dongying and others.

"It's really too picky, just these things can be exchanged for the emperor's reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver?". Hachi thinks it's incredible, this world is crazy!

"Hey, the problem of face, this is the face of the big country!". Is it really appropriate to use tens of thousands of taels of silver to maintain the face of the Ming Dynasty in just a few years?

"The gains outweigh the losses!". Hachi suddenly sighed, giving people a feeling of seeing through right and wrong.

"Young Master, there is another ship, which is full of white-skinned and blue-eyed Westerners, should we also go up and have a look?"

According to the Su brothers, this ship landed in Quanzhou a few months ago, and it was a ship for the Franc machine to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

The owner of this ship was Baron Andrew, who presented a lot of glass, spices, clocks and even cannons to the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty the Emperor was very satisfied, and once took the time to meet this so-called Baron once.

Although they also made a lot of money from the court/court, no matter how you look at it, they are much more sincere than Song Suqing's gang of widows!

"Let people take control of the ship, let's go up and have a look, maybe there will be a new discovery!" Baron Andre had received a reward from the emperor, and if there was nothing good on the ship, Li Ling would never believe it.

The warship that the Franc machine man was on was obviously much larger than the search of the Dongying people. There were even gun emplacements on the deck, and eight or nine foot guns were ships with warships.

"It's a good thing I didn't fight with the Franc Man, otherwise I wouldn't have to have killed many soldiers!". As soon as Li Ling made a slight inspection, he knew that the combat effectiveness of this ship was very strong.

"Eldest young master, the brothers have traveled all over the ship and haven't seen any of the barons you mentioned, what should we do now?". Xiao Qi got a report from the soldiers, saying that he had not found a person in charge with enough identity, and that the people on the entire ship were all sailors and servants, and he couldn't understand what the soldiers said at all, and he spoke an alternative bird language in his mouth, so there was no way to communicate at all.

"Take me to see it!".

The ship's main cabin is luxuriously decorated, with a wooden table in the center, two crystal glass quilts on the table, and glasses filled with mellow red wine.

The owner of the ship was a man who knew how to enjoy himself.

As soon as the soldier saw the glass on the table, he knew that it was a good thing, and a few people even wanted to keep them as a few, this thing was rare in the Ming Dynasty, and it must be sold for a good price.

As soon as the soldiers reached in front of the glass, they saw Hachi's stern gaze.

Only then did these people remember that when they were leaving, they had repeatedly ordered and set military discipline.

The soldiers slowly withdrew their hands and went elsewhere.

An old servant next to the table was lying on the ground trembling with his hands and feet, this guy was so fat that he couldn't even button his clothes.

Li Ling quietly gave Xiaoba a look.

Xiao Ba understood and asked loudly: "Young Master, these people are all servants and sailors, maybe the Andre you said has escaped, what should I do with these people now?" ”。

"Of course it's killed, since the owner of the ship is not here, then you don't have to be polite, kill all these sailors, so as not to leak the news, you must know that all the Dongying envoys have been killed by us, this news must be blocked!" Li Ling muttered to himself: "These people are obviously not good people together with the Japanese Kou, and they don't have to feel guilty if they kill them!" ”。

"Well, in that case, I will immediately inform the brothers to act, but it is a pity that this group of sailors can cross the ocean to come here, and the technique must be good!"

"General, don't go, don't kill us, I'm the master of this ship, I'm Baron Andrew, I've seen your great emperor before, don't kill me". The fat old man in the servant's clothes got up in a hurry, flicked the dirt on his body and said to Li Ling.

"He can understand Chinese!

After "Marco Polo's Travels" spread in the West, more and more Westerners knew about the dragon entrenched in the east of the world.

There are even more people who yearn for this country/country, and even set off a wave of craze for learning Chinese/Chinese.

From a young age, Andrew longed for this great country.

When he grew up, he inherited the family title, organized a fleet, and traveled to the East to find his childhood dream.

It was an unexpected honor for the old baron to be personally received by His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor is only interested in the handicrafts he brings, but the Franc cannon with high hopes for him is ignored.

In fact, he came to the East this time for another purpose, to exchange relevant technologies from the East and the West in cannon casting.

He also has a very bluffing identity, the chief cannon expert of the Portuguese royal family, and he has an almost blind love for cannon making technology.

He happened to hear that a small state not far from here had been in a period of civil strife, and he thought that he had an opportunity, and began to follow the route that the maritime merchants had said to have reached Dongying.

Who knows how crazy the people here are, they would rather fight with the most primitive tools than buy his artillery, and the purchasing power is extremely low. Even their Emperor His Majesty could not afford a single glass.

"I should have sold all the items in the Ming Kingdom!" Andre said with great disappointment.

"I heard you still have a large number of guns on board?" Li Ling asked with a smile, like a fox that had found its prey.
