Zhao Yan and the others never expected that when they were about to enter the deep-water port, they were stopped by several small boats, and there were a few black and thin people wearing cross-toed official uniforms on the boat, shouting at their boat with non-standard Han people, but unfortunately the sea was windy, and they couldn't hear what they were shouting at all.

"Isn't the deep-water port the port of our Great Song Dynasty, how can there be Jiaozhi officials?" Zhao Yan came to the side of the boat and looked down at those officials, when Jiaozhi was beaten fiasco before, Jiaozhi envoys ran to the capital one after another, so Zhao Yan knew the officials of Jiaozhi, but this also made him even more strange.

"Wait a minute, I seem to hear them shouting 'collect taxes' or something, it can't be that Jiaozhi is poor and crazy, and plans to collect taxes here, right?" At this time, Su Shi listened sideways for a long time, and finally said with a puzzled face, after the deep-water port was ceded to the Great Song Dynasty, it no longer had anything to do with Jiaozhi, so it was really inexplicable that the officials of Jiaozhi came here to collect taxes.

"Collect taxes?" Wang Shiyue also listened carefully for a while when he heard Su Shi's words, he had lived in a deep-water port for a long time, and he usually had to come into contact with the natives, so he could understand the half-baked Han people of the natives, but after he listened to the shouts of the Jiaozhi officials below, his face was gloomy all of a sudden.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter, are these Jiaozhi officials crossing the line?" At this time, Xu Yuan noticed that Wang Shiyue's face changed, and immediately walked over and asked, The deep-water port is obviously the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Jiaozhi officials came to collect taxes, isn't this crossing the line?

"Not only crossing the line, the Cochin people are really too deceitful, and the Cochin people below actually say that this is their territorial waters, so they have to go on the ship to inspect it, and then collect taxes according to the goods on the ship!" Wang Shiyue said very angrily at this time, the deep-water port was built by him and his wife, Princess Chen Guo. He also has a deep affection for here, but he didn't expect that now the Jiaozhi people would intervene sideways, which naturally made him angry.

Zhao Yan's face sank when he heard this, he only knew that Jiaozhi was making small moves in secret, but he didn't expect the other party to be so bold this time, openly running to the deep-water port to collect taxes. I don't even take Da Song in my eyes.

Under Zhao Yan's anger, the Jiaozhi officials in the boat below still kept shouting to stop the boat, which made Zhao Yan snort coldly and ordered the guards next to him: "Take a few grenades and throw them down, and let these Jiaozhi people below shut up for me!" ”

Niu Lie, the head of the guard, and the others were also a little impatient by the Jiaozhi people below, and now when they heard Zhao Yan's order, they immediately agreed loudly and turned back to the side of the ship, and after a while, they took out a grenade, and then ignited it and threw it on the boat below. Coincidentally, the Jiaozhi officers on the ship had seen the scene when the Great Song army used firearms. Now when he saw that the people on the boat actually threw down a grenade that he had seen on the battlefield, he screamed strangely, and the original psychological shadow exploded, and he jumped into the sea at once.

In fact, the power of the black powder grenade is limited, and although the ship of the Jiaozhi people is small, as long as the person hides in the cabin, it will be fine, but the official is really frightened, so he will make the move of jumping into the sea. The other Jiaozhi people had never seen grenades, but they saw that the leading officials had jumped into the sea. They all jumped into the sea one by one, and with a few explosions, the small boat of the Cochins did not suffer much damage, at most it was a little damaged on the deck.

"I will catch all the Cochins in the sea, and I will ask who gave them such courage?" Zhao Yan ordered again, and then several guards with good water properties immediately jumped into the sea. The cochin people who were struggling in the water were caught one by one.

"You...... Who are you, and why are you attacking our tax collection ships in Cochin? After the Jiaozhi official led by him was caught on the boat, he immediately questioned Zhao Yan and them loudly, but he was not stupid, and he knew that the Great Song Dynasty had extremely strict management of firearms. However, the other party's ship was equipped with firearms, which shows that these people are certainly not ordinary people.

"Humph! What a big dog, don't you know that this is the territorial waters of the Great Song Dynasty, why did you Jiaozhi officials come to us to collect taxes? At this time, Wang Shiyue took the lead in speaking, out of concern for the deep-water port, he must clarify this matter and see what the Jiaozhi people are planning?

"Who said that this is your territorial waters, at the beginning we just ceded the deep-water port to you, but we didn't say that the open sea of the deep-water port was also ceded to you, so now this sea area still belongs to us, and we can collect taxes as we want!" Although the Jiaozhi official knew that the other party's identity was not ordinary, he still stiffened his neck and argued strongly.

"What a sharp-toothed guy, this king really wants to know if Li Rizun thinks the same way!" Zhao Yan smiled angrily at this time, it seems that the lesson given to the Jiaozhi people last time is not deep enough, otherwise they would not dare to openly tear up the treaty in the past few years, and even Zhao Yan is now thinking about which army to transfer to come to war with the Jiaozhi people.

"Ben...... This king? The Jiaozhi official was also frightened when he heard Zhao Yan's self-proclaim, and looked at Zhao Yan with a shocked face, guessing which prince of the Great Song Dynasty was the other party?

Seeing the shocked look of this Jiaozhi official, Wang Shiyue stepped forward and sneered: "It's really blind to your dog's eyes, this is the third brother of my Great Song Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Yue Zhao Yan, and I am the concubine of the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Shiyue, I have dealt with Li Rizun at the beginning, if you Jiaozhi regrets the original treaty, then let him come to talk to us in person!" ”

Hearing Wang Shiyue's introduction to Zhao Yan and himself, the Jiaozhi official was frightened again, he was not very afraid of Zhao Yan, after all, he didn't know that the person who invented firearms was Zhao Yan, but it was different for Wang Shiyue, it was Wang Shiyue who forced them to sign the Guangzhou Treaty in Jiaozhi, which was a land cut and a reparation, and the deep-water port was also planned by Wang Shiyue and his wife, so Wang Shiyue's name was almost unknown in Jiaozhi, so this Jiaozhi official was so shocked.

Zhao Yan also saw that the level of this Jiaozhi official was too low at this time, so he didn't bother to embarrass the other party, and immediately stepped forward and said: "This king is too lazy to worry about you, now you go back to see Li Rizun, let him rush to the deep-water port to see this king within seven days, if he doesn't come, then this king will personally take his soldiers and horses to Changlong Mansion to meet him, anyway, it's not the first time that our Great Song army has gone!" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's threat, the Jiaozhi official couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly looked up at Zhao Yan, only to find that the murderous look on the other party's face didn't seem to be a joke, which made him even more anxious, and just wanted to argue for himself and Jiaozhi, but unfortunately Zhao Yan didn't give him a chance at all, and threw them on the boat below with a wave of his hand, which made the Jiaozhi official angry and happy, and immediately drove the boat away.

"Third brother, you don't really want Li Rizun to come to see you, do you?" Cao Song looked at the distant Jiaozhi tax ship, and then turned to Zhao Yan and asked, you must know that Li Rizun is the king of Jiaozhi, how could he come to see Zhao Yan lightly?

"Li Rizun will definitely not come, but it doesn't matter, I just want to take this opportunity to make a fuss, let Jiaozhi know that our Da Song is very tough in the attitude of the deep-water port, so that they can be honest for a few years!" At this time, Zhao Yan swept away the angry appearance just now, but said very calmly.

In fact, for the tax ship that encountered Jiaozhi outside the deep-water port this time, Zhao Yan also guessed that this was Jiaozhi's reaction to test the Great Song Dynasty again, if the Great Song Dynasty showed a weak side, Jiaozhi would definitely have to inch in, and even did not rule out the use of force, although the Great Song Dynasty was not afraid of Jiaozhi, but the Great Song Dynasty was a mess because of the change of law, and Zhao Yan had just arrived in the south and had not yet fully established himself, so if Jiaozhi messed up at this time, it would definitely make the Great Song Dynasty difficult to take care of, so Zhao Yan was tough, So that Jiaozhi has some scruples.

Without the obstruction of the Jiaozhi people, Zhao Yan and their fleet quickly entered the port, and notified the officials in the port to come to greet them, this is not Zhao Yan's arrangement, but Wang Shiyue wanted to ask the officials of the port to see if they knew about the tax collection ships in Jiaozhi just now?

The officials of the port also showed hesitation on their faces when they heard about the tax collection ships of Jiaozhi, but in the end they honestly admitted that they all knew, but for these Jiaozhi people, the merchant ships that came and went did not pay much attention to them, and generally directly hit their small boats in and out of the port, anyway, the boats of the Jiaozhi people were small and slow, and they could not catch up with the big ships of the Han people at all. Seeing this situation, the officials at the port were worried that they would cause a dispute between the two countries by driving out the Jiaozhi people, so they ignored it.

Hearing the words of these officials, Zhao Yan came forward to reprimand them fiercely, because their inaction is a kind of weakness and deception in the eyes of the Jiaozhi people, and in the end it will only make the Jiaozhi people gain an inch, so if they encounter this situation again in the future, they must not have any scruples, even if they cause any trouble, in the end, the court will support them.

For Zhao Yan's reprimand, the officials of the port also immediately admitted their mistakes, and then promised that they would never make such a mistake in the future, after all, now after Zhao Yan took over the sea trade, the deep-water port is also within Zhao Yan's jurisdiction, in other words, Zhao Yan is their top boss, for the reprimand of the boss, whether they really listen to it or not, at least on the surface, they dare not say anything.

In the next few days, Zhao Yan carefully assessed the situation in the deep-water port while waiting for the reaction from Jiaozhi's side, after all, after he reported his identity, it was impossible for Jiaozhi not to react at all. In fact, Zhao Yan guessed well, Jiaozhi didn't let him wait too long for someone to come, but this person was not Li Rizun, but it was also someone Zhao Yan had always wanted to meet.
