"St. Bow." Yinzhen knew that they didn't know the etiquette of greeting Qincha, so they had to end the ceremony hastily, and after glancing at everyone, they only found that there was an official hat on which the top bead was worn by plain gold (seven pins), and two official hats were made of Yangwen carved gold (nine pins), and there was actually a seven-grade one? After a deep groan, he said, "Get up, who has the highest position here?" ”

Song Fanjiang, who was at the front, hurriedly bowed down and said: "The humble post is the general manager of the Guangzhou Green Camp stationed in the cottage in front of Haojing, Song Fanjiang. ”

The general is the seventh rank military attaché, Yinzhen couldn't help frowning, "The general?" is also a seven-grade official, how can he not even understand the etiquette of the imperial court? ”

Song Fanjiang's face was swollen and flushed, but he still replied loudly: "Back to the prince, the humble position was brought up by the foreign commissioner, and the largest is Chapter 122 The second-class battleship has seen President Qian." ”

The foreign commissioner is just a nine-rank official, and he can't meet the Qin cha on weekdays, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know the etiquette, but

This Song Fanjiang is not small, but he can use it. Yinzhen's face softened slightly, and he asked kindly, "How many troops are there here?" ”

Song Fanjiang bowed down and replied: "Back to the prince, there are five hundred people." ”

There are five hundred people, it seems that the imperial court still attaches more importance to this place, Yinzhen nodded slightly, and then glanced at everyone, his face has sunk, "This king is also the chief supervisor of the General Administration of Customs, where is the member of the Macao General Port of Guangdong Customs?" Why don't you see Shangguan? ”

He Jun, a member of the Macao General Mouth Committee, was taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, kowtowed before he said tremblingly: "He Jun, a member of the Macao General Mouth Committee, is a member of the Macao General Mouth Committee. ”

Yinzhen ignored him, and glanced at the Macao and Portuguese again, "Where is the head of the Macao and Portuguese soldiers?" ”

The Governor of Macau, Jia Shidu, was nervous, and he had already vaguely guessed why this king of the county had come, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Jia Shidu, a foreigner, knocks on the prince." ”

This guy is a Chinese expert, and the people outside the country will use it, Yinzhen was secretly happy in his heart, and he saved the translation, so he said with a straight face at the moment: "You explain the second-level battleship in Chapter 122 of this king's explanation, why did your Portuguese warship openly enter the port of my Great Qing Kingdom?" Can this king understand that Portugal has officially declared war on the Qing Dynasty? ”

Declare war? When Jia Shidu heard this, his face turned blue with fright, and the hat button was too big, so he hurriedly stammered and explained: "Your Royal Highness, this is a misunderstanding...... ”

"Misunderstanding?" Yinzhen interrupted as soon as he pleased: "Without permission, your Portuguese warship openly entered my territory in the Qing Dynasty, is this a misunderstanding?" As he spoke, he turned around, "He Customs Committee, stop all the Macao and Portuguese merchant ships, and not let one of them pass through the customs." Song Fanjiang led his troops to cooperate with the customs to conduct a strict inspection of all merchant ships, and Yande and Liu Zhisheng led the navy to disarm the Portuguese warships. ”

"Humble and respectful." The first class of people replied with a bang.

"Lord Wang, this is really a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding!" When Jia Shidu heard this, he almost fainted, that was a Dutch battleship, he was just doing some business for the ship repair yard, this was going to be confiscated, and the Dutch didn't look for him desperately, it was a second-class battleship, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

"What a misunderstanding?" Yinzhen waved his hand at Yande and Song Fanjiang, and then said in a deep voice: "This king will give you a chance to explain, if you can't satisfy this king, hmph, this is the war that you Portugal started first." ”

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Jia Shidu hurriedly kowtowed and said: "That warship is the escort ship of the caravan, in the South China Sea, the fleet encountered pirates, after a big battle, although the pirates were driven away, but the warship was also damaged, so it entered the port for maintenance, only sailors were left on the ship, there were no soldiers, and all the artillery was also covered, before this, there was a precedent, not to intend to offend the Heavenly Empire." ”

As soon as he heard that this was the case, Yinzhen was also a flurry for a while, there were no soldiers, this is really not a big fuss, but this opportunity is rare, he didn't want to miss it, and said in a deep voice at the moment: "That's not good, it's a matter of national dignity, a battleship is a battleship, isn't it a battleship without soldiers?" ”

Seeing that Yinzhen was unreasonable, Jia Shidu secretly complained in his heart, shouldn't this king of the county take the opportunity to blackmail? After thinking about it, he boldly said: "The prince has a tired journey, can you enjoy your face and go into the house to drink a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue, let Xiaomin report in detail." ”

Is this guy trying to bribe himself, or is there something else going on? Yinzhen glanced at him suspiciously, and then said to He Jun: "Just go to your customs yamen." ”

Entering the house and sitting down, a group of people had already avoided it with interest, only Jia Shidu was left, there was no one in front of him, Jia Shidu took out a silver ticket with a denomination of 10,000 denominations from his arms, and sent it over respectfully with both hands, "Lord Sui, it is not easy to maintain the shipyard, and please understand one or two." ”

Yinzhen didn't even bother to look at it, and said lightly, "This king is not short of silver." ”

Jia Shidu saw that Yinzhen didn't want silver, and he was dumbfounded, a tried and tested trick didn't work, what did this prince want? Did you take a fancy to a battleship? Thinking of this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, how is this good? After hesitating, his heart was crossed, and he couldn't say that he could only scare him, kowtowed, and then he grew up and said: "Lord Sui, the villain doesn't dare to hide it from you, that warship is not my Portugal's, but Dutch, that is, the Hongmao country's, they still have seven warships in the open sea, if they forcibly confiscate it, I'm afraid they won't ......give up." ”

Dutch? And seven? Yinzhen immediately thought, since there are still seven warships, then there must be the kind of fast armed sailing ships equipped with 30-40 guns, he said in a light tone: "There are still seven warships in the open sea?" But the kind of fast sail battleship with 30-40 guns? ”

Seeing Yinzhen break the sail battleship in the open sea with one bite, Jia Shidu couldn't help but panic, this prince seems to have come prepared, the pirates who attacked the fleet in the South China Sea a few days ago can't it be the handiwork of this prince, right? Thinking of this, he was horrified.

Seeing his expression, Yinzhen had already affirmed what he was thinking, and asked again: "Is that a second-class battleship?" Or is it a tertiary one? ”

Sure enough, he fell in love with the battleship, Jia Shidu was desperate for a while, and replied in a trembling voice, "Hui Wangye, it is a second-class battleship, with two decks and eighty large and small guns. ”

The second deck, eighty guns, that is a conventional second-class battleship, Yinzhen couldn't help but be excited, he didn't expect to meet a first-class battleship in the South China Sea, the first-class battleships in the West are probably busy fighting in Europe now, how can they have the kung fu to come here.

Seeing that Jia Shidu's words were a little unfavorable, Yinzhen changed the question, "What is the general cost of this kind of second-class battleship?" And how much does that kind of fast sail battleship cost? ”

Jia Shidu obviously didn't expect Yinzhen to ask this question, he has a shipyard under his command, and he is naturally familiar with the cost of this kind of European conventional warship, so he immediately replied: "The second-class battleship is priced according to the number of guns, about 400,000 taels for 50 guns, about 600,000 taels for 80 guns, and about 300,000 taels for 40 guns. ”

Yinzhen weighed it for a long time before he said: "This king is not a robber and robber, you go and talk to them, just say that this king has taken a fancy to their warship, and ask them if they are willing to sell?" This king buys one large, two small and three ships, and is willing to sell all of them better, so he buys them according to the cost you said, of course, if he is not willing to sell them, he will not be strong. ”！！！
