Chapter 18 Bring your own dry food and five treasure banknotes
The sound was like a thunderbolt on the ground, and all the creditors were stunned when they heard it, and they did not dare to go up and arrest anyone again because of the power of the musket. Li Yanqing looked through the crowd and saw five or six big men walking in from outside the Yi Gate, wearing a full helmet made of fine iron, wearing a one-piece stainless steel armor, iron gloves and iron boots, just like a walking armor model.
It's just that the armor is tall and big, and it seems that the person inside is also a tall and burly man. The man was wearing a Western-style two-handed sword at his waist and an arquebus in his hand. The man behind him, tall, short, fat and thin, was wearing chain mail, a battle jacket, and an embroidered spring knife in his hand.
The big man came to the front, separated the crowd, took off his helmet and saluted Li Yanqing: "Jinyiwei is hereditary with 100 households, and he has actually awarded the Xiangshan Xiaoqi of the Guangdong Thousand Households to Ryanstein, and he has given Liu County a gift." These rioters gathered to storm the yamen, it is a dereliction of duty, you can rest assured, with the great Reinstein here, no one can hurt you. ”
He turned around and shouted to those creditors again: "This Liu Daling has just arrived, and you are making a fuss about asking for debts, even if you are a common people, there is no such unreasonable reason." What's more, this is still an official of the imperial court, aren't you too much? This official has newly received news from Guangzhou that the Japanese have recently invaded the localities and harassed the coastal areas. Shangfeng instructed that it is necessary to strictly investigate the local people who have treasoned with the country, and once they are caught, even if they are suspected, they must be punished for bankrupting their families. As you know, my Sir Ryanstein hasn't been paid for two months, do you want to help me supplement my salary? ”
These people seem to be a little afraid of this foreign devil, and when they see him say this, they are also afraid that they will be convicted of being convicted and taken to the Jinyi Yamen to generate income. Although the brocade clothes in Xiangshan County are in ruins, the brocade clothes thousand households are located in Guangzhou, and once they are taken to the capital city, they really can't be released without going bankrupt. At that moment, he had to leave in a huff, and when he was leaving, someone pointed at Li Yanqing and said, "Dog officer, you wait for me, this matter is not over." ”
Li Yanqing was naturally grateful for the help of this Ryanstein Xiaoqi, and couldn't help but thank him repeatedly. Seeing that the merchants had been scared away, Ryan Stein handed his helmet to his men and sat down with a few brocade clothes. When the creditor came just now, those errand servants ran away without a trace, which made Li Yanqing very disappointed, thinking that the public servants in this place were really unreliable, and when they got a firm foothold in the future, they had to change a group of competent public officials, so he had the idea of winning over a reliable army.
Seeing that Ryan Stein is tall and broad, as healthy as an ox, golden and blue-eyed, with a high nose and a wide mouth, combined with his name, he is not a person from the Central Plains. A Western-style armor is also extremely eye-catching, in a small-scale fight, you don't need to make a move, just this armor and clothing, you can first scare others into a heartbeat, and you can't help but get a friendship and want to pull it as an arm.
But his official words are very authentic, and his words and sentences are all in the Han format, what is the situation? Could it be that this is a character like Sun Zhongmou, who is obviously a Han Chinese, but has a foreign appearance?
In principle, Reinstein has no obligation or responsibility to help him solve the crisis, and the fact that people can lead the team when he is surrounded shows that he still supports the work of the magistrate.
And he himself said that he had not been paid for two months, which shows that he also has demands for the economy, so there is a lot of room for cooperation between the two sides. These fierce brocade clothes, with knives in their hands and the courage to rush over, are much stronger than those useless officials.
Li Yanqing took the wine and poured it for Ryanstein, "Thank you for saving me in time, otherwise I am afraid that this official will also suffer." Haven't asked you what to call it? In addition, looking at your facial features, it seems that you are not my Ming person? ”
"I am the ancestor of Count Ryan Stein von Wodsonia, who lives in Spain. But since my grandfather, we have been working for the Ming Dynasty, I am now the third generation, we are the Ming people, this point, there is no doubt that I am proud of my great motherland Ming, I am proud of my great motherland Ming, I am proud of my birth under the banner of the Ming Dragon, and I am proud of growing up in the environment of the Ming Dynasty. There is an afterlife in the world, and being a soldier is only a Ming soldier. If this life is destined to die in the flames of war, he will be the undead who died defending the land of the Ming Dynasty. "This Sir Ryanstein said that the rise of poetry is actually prosperous, and he made a Western-style poem in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, which made Li Yanqing feel cold.
After careful questioning, I learned that the old Count of Wadsonia, the elder of the Reinstein family, organized a mercenary group for wealth and glory and accompanied the Portuguese to the East on an adventure. In this era, it is normal for Western European countries to divide and merge, and it is very normal for everyone to cooperate with whom, and it is not strange for Spain and Portugal to join forces. However, after this fleet arrived in Daming, it was just in time for the Battle of Caoliang Bay.
The Ming army was overwhelmed with fireships, arrows were like flying locusts, guns roared, and the Portuguese fleet was dizzy and defeated. After the old Count Wardsonia experienced the battle array, he was greatly touched in his heart, and thought that there was such a state in the world, with only one province of soldiers, there were so many warships, so many officers and soldiers, and he fought against them, so he didn't eat too much to support them?
As a disciplined mercenary, the earl decisively ordered to take a group of his brothers to rebel at night, tie up the command of the Portuguese fleet, and take them to the Ming Dynasty to surrender. The Daming local government is not thin on him, and in the end, he and his mercenaries have obtained the official body of brocade clothes, and since then they have become the official health of Daming brocade clothes, and the personal soldiers of the Son of Heaven.
The Ming Dynasty has never discriminated against foreigners. Since Hongwu Dingding, there have been color eye officials, and even the Tartars who have a feud with the Ming Dynasty can serve as a Tartar official in the court, and the color eye official is still a problem? And the land, wealth, culture, and commerce of the Ming Dynasty have opened the eyes of these mercenaries, and they have changed from Spaniards to unswervingly bring their own dry food and five treasure bills.
Count Waldsonia is the leader of these five treasures, and when teaching his children, he also let them learn the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty first, and then learn Spanish, and culturally, let them read the Four Books and Five Classics, and moral articles, hoping that their family can produce a righteous civil official and change the court.
It's just that the Ming Imperial Examination is a way, which is tantamount to winning the pass with ten thousand horses, how can it be so easy. In Ryanstein's generation, not only did he fail to get a background, but he went to Xiangshan County to be a small flag. There are many officials in Jinyi Guard, and it is the norm to have high ranks and low allocations.
It's just that, as mentioned above, a poor ghost place like Xiangshan belongs to an area where everyone hides, but if he has something to do with the court, as for mixing in this kind of place to be an official? What is Ryanstein's current official fortune can also be seen from his actual grant.
Li Yanqing saw that although he had a bumpy career, he didn't have a word of complaint to the court, and said secretly: These Western five treasure banknotes are more loyal than many Ming officials, and they can be used. Fu asked again: "Since Ryan Dajingo has been an official here for a long time, then I just happened to ask for advice, this official has just arrived, and I don't know where to go, to ask for an amulet?" ”
