Chapter 144: The Brutal Demon King
It is also too unreasonable for a small Portugal to dare to set up a giant cannon in Macao.
Although these were all allowed by Daming, he felt that this was an act of dishonor.
In any case, their cannons and muskets were to be confiscated.
Lu Yan silently thought about what he wanted to do, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

"Honorable Prince, I am Philip, the messenger of Batavia, and I am here to send you my highest greetings."
In a luxurious room, Lu Yan was holding a book in his hand and half-lying on a chair lazily, and Zhang Xiaoyi and several guards stood on both sides of the room.
A Dutchman with red hair stood in front of him with a smile on his face.
He couldn't know more about the person in front of him, and Daming Jiangnan is the king.
If you want Rayson and the others to return safely, you have to nod his head personally.
Lu Yan nodded lightly, then glanced at him and said, "Why did you Dutch use sword soldiers to invade my Penghu Islands, you are guilty." ”
"Guilty, of course we are guilty, in fact, if your country opens up sea trade, how can we do such a thing, Your Royal Highness, you have really made great contributions to opening up the three major cities."
Philip slapped his ass desperately.
Of course, the second half of his sentence is definitely the truth in his heart, knowing that after Lu Yan opened the city, many people were still against the ransom of the silver, but as soon as they heard the news, they immediately agreed.
The Dutch worked as coachmen on the sea. It has always been a commercial country.
Daming's maritime trade profits are too great.
They also started the war to exchange markets with the Ming Dynasty, and now that the Ming Dynasty has taken the initiative to open up the market, what are they still more energetic.
A million taels of silver is a lot. But it was nothing compared to the huge profits that followed.
And if they can take the opportunity to catch Lu Yan's line, they feel that it is also very worthwhile, so they insist on meeting Lu Yan.
"It's good to confess your sins, did you bring the money?"
Lu Yan snorted coldly, and then said.
"It's brought, it's on the carriage outside the house, you can send someone to count it at any time."
Philip said.
Lu Yan gave Meng Kuo a look. Meng Kuo nodded knowingly and immediately walked out. Prepare to send someone to receive this huge sum.
"This is the list of the first batch of people we hope to release, I hope that you can release these names after you receive the money."
Philip respectfully pulled out a blank piece of paper.
Zhang Xiaoyi immediately took it and took him for Lu Yan to see.
Lu Yan took a casual look and found that Lei Ersheng was indeed in the list.
It seems that people are not equal at all times. Those in power will always be released first.
"Put it on the table."
Lu Yan thought for a while and said.
Zhang Xiaoyi hurriedly put it on the table lightly.
"I've heard that you often attack our fishermen and sell them into slavery, don't you know that?"
Lu Yan asked.
Lu Yan's question surprised Philip, he originally thought that taking out so much silver already showed that they were very sincere, and this matter should be very smooth.
Why did Lu Yan ask this sentence, is this matter still going to be twists and turns.
"There is no such thing, this is definitely a rumor, our Dutch East India Company has always had the deepest respect for Da Ming Bao, how could he capture the fishermen of your country and reduce them to slavery."
Philip was thinking about it. He replied cautiously.
"Rumors?"
Lu Yan sneered, are so many records in later generations fake?
"Do you know what it is to deceive this king?"
"This ......"
Philip couldn't help but sweat coldly.
"It deserves to be a capital offense."
Zhang Dao.
Philip's face was blue and white, and it was obvious that there was a fierce battle between heaven and man.
Lu Yan didn't rush him. Just yawned and continued to read the book in his hand.
This is his territory, and he is certainly not in a hurry.
It didn't take long for Meng Kuo to walk in again, and then a few words.
After knowing that the silver was in hand, Lu Yan was no longer polite.
"The king intended to be extrajudicially benevolent. Release them all. But I didn't expect you to dare to attack your own fishermen and sell them to the West as slaves. It's a heinous crime. The king ordered that all the captives such as Raiersheng be beheaded, and then displayed in the three major cities to deter the people. ”
Hearing this, Philip couldn't help but be struck by lightning.
How could he do that?
These were hundreds of captives, and he even said that he would be killed.
"Your Royal Highness, don't you, didn't you promise to let them go? Why break your word and get fat. ”
Pripp couldn't help but shout in a hurry.
If Rael's birth and them were beheaded, then his mission would have been a complete failure.
&nb Ten thousand taels of silver have been collected by the enemy, how can he explain when he returns?
"Our prince was deceived by you, if he had known that you had sold our fishermen to the West as slaves, our prince would never have agreed to your request."
Zhang Xiaoyi stood up very timely and said.
As a subordinate, of course, you should strive to give your own name to your Lord.
Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction, this is like the appearance of a palace manager.
"Since you like to sell our fishermen into slavery so much, then pass on the king's order, castrate you, and then drag you to the Huguang area to sell."
Lu Yan thought for a while and said.
What two countries are at war, if they don't kill them, the Dutch's approach has completely angered him, and besides, he didn't cut them either.
Hearing this, Philap couldn't help but be shocked, castrated?
Is he going to become a eunuch, Philip is terrified at the thought of this terrible consequence.
He hurriedly said loudly: "Aren't you afraid that if I don't go back, we will go to war with you in Batavia?" ”
"I don't need you to go to war with me. I will take the initiative to declare war on you, the whole of Nanyang is the territory of this king, and you Hongyi had better go back from where you came. ”
Lu Yan said with a sneer.
If you can. He didn't even mind hitting Europe.
It is not interesting to go to North and South America to fight for territory with Westerners, and only by emasculating the whole of Europe can China truly stand on top of the world.
With the return of the army led by Lu Yan, some uneasiness in his territory slowly disappeared.
Moreover, the news that Lu Yan's army captured Nurhachi and Daishan also came out.
After hearing this news, both the gentry and the common people rejoiced.
Especially those officials who took refuge in Lu Yan, they celebrated one after another, and Lu Yan was able to defeat the Jurchens. This shows that he is the strongest of the three forces of the Jurchen and Ming dynasties, at least he does not have to worry about being defeated and killed with him.
The only thing they were looking forward to was. When will Lu Yan be able to lead the army north and conquer the entire Ming Dynasty, so that they can be the founding heroes.
Lü Yan's policy of opening up the sea was also slowly on the right track, and more and more Westerners poured into the three cities to buy Ming goods. The tax silver received by Lu Yan also rose sharply.
Those Westerners grabbed a large amount of gold and silver in North and South America, and they were worried that there was no place to buy the goods of the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Yan's opening of the sea could be regarded as solving their big problem.
Soon, however, the beheading of hundreds of Dutch captives in the three major cities frightened the Westerners who had come to trade.
Some of them thought that Lü Yan was going to kill Hongyi, and almost fled for their lives overnight, only to be relieved when they learned that these were the Dutch who had attacked Penghu.
The Portuguese were very happy that these bastards who dared to attack Macau had finally been killed.
But there are also some Westerners who have a feeling that things hurt them, after all, they all ran from the West to make a fortune.
Seeing the heads of their own kind being hung up for public display made them feel a sense of kinship.
But they're also getting more disciplined. Because they know that the person who manages the three major cities is definitely a brutal demon king.
He will not tell you anything of righteousness, and if you dare to disobey his orders, your head will be cut off. Then hang it up for public display.
After doing all this, Lü Yan organized a huge fleet of fifty Western giants to go south again, this time their target was Macao, and he had to deal with the Portuguese who were entrenched in Macao.
****
****
At the wharf of Macau, a large group of people with heads and faces in Macao are standing here.
Marcus looked helplessly at the huge fleet off the coast of Macau, an invincible fleet composed of 5o Western giant ships.
If not to see it with your own eyes. He would never dare to see such a powerful fleet in the East.
And at least thirty percent of these warships are giant ships of more than 1,000 tons, even in Europe. It is also a formidable fleet that can absolutely sweep through any European power.
But now that the Ming Dynasty is using them to deal with a small Macau, don't they think they are making a big fuss?
Soon a small ship of about 5oo tons slowly approached the shore, and then some Ming soldiers came ashore.
Marcus and some Portuguese hurried up to meet him.
They already knew the intention of these Ming troops, and the Ming Dynasty planned to set up a county order here and deploy an army.
Of course, these Portuguese resisted this, they had already paid rent to the Ming Dynasty, why did they have to set up a county order here.
But the situation is stronger than people, and the enemy is stronger than they imagined.
And the Dutch heads hanging in Guangzhou let them know that Lu Yan is definitely a brutal demon king.
If they dared to disobey Lu Yan's orders, Lu Yan would definitely not mind cutting off all their heads and hanging them up for public display.
So they only deliberated for a while, and then agreed.
Now that Lu Yan has opened a city, the purpose of their occupation of Macao is also to better trade with the Ming Dynasty.
Judging from the current situation, Lu Yan welcomes trade with Westerners, at least their biggest goal will not be hindered.
"Your Excellency General, I am Marcus, and I welcome you on behalf of the Portuguese here."
Marcus spoke fluent Chinese to a Ming military attaché at the head of the Ming Dynasty.
Wu Weizhong nodded, and then looked at these Hongyi.
There were many people standing here dressed as merchants, and in addition to several clergy and soldiers.
"Have you received our lord's order?"
Wu Weizhong asked.
"We have received it, and we obey this prince's order."
Marcus said with a smile.
It's just that there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
They have already suffered too much loss at the hands of Da Ming, and they don't want to anger Da Ming again.
"Very well, so that I don't have to bother with it."
Wu Weizhong nodded and said.
In fact, he still felt a little pity in his heart, such a powerful fleet had no chance to shoot, and it would be great if he could shoot a salvo at Macao.
"It's just that some specific terms can be discussed, such as whether we can have artillery and muskets here, there are so many pirates in the South China Sea now, if we don't have these artillery to protect our safety, we can't go to sea at all."
Marcus said.
The last time Lu Yan sent someone to read out the order, he only sent a junior officer.
What could the Portuguese negotiate with a junior officer?
They wanted to send someone to Hangzhou to intercede, but they didn't expect King Wu to send a large army so soon.
"Of course it can be discussed."
Wu Weizhong showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile.
At the same time, he made a gesture, and his soldiers understood, and immediately ordered the other ships to dock, so groups of soldiers landed in Macao, and then occupied one point after another.
Seeing this, those Portuguese couldn't help but sweat profusely.
Isn't this still negotiable? How did you get ashore?
They had the heart to protest, but they didn't dare to say it because they were afraid of each other's cruelty. (To be continued)
