A dense burst of muskets suddenly rang out, even if Ryan Stein had popularized science beforehand, saying that the Yi people have the custom of firing salutes to welcome VIPs, they are on the island, there is no salute, and most of us will set off a row of guns to show etiquette. But when he really heard the gunshot, he still frightened the deacon in front of him, and the high-legged cards in his hand were a little unstable.

Qin Ruizhu's pretty face was also frightened, but Li Yanqing comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid." With me here, what are you afraid of? ”

Reinstein looked disdainful: "After so many years, it's still an old trick, and there is nothing new at all." After all, the Buddha Lang machine is a foreign barbarian, compared to my Ming court, there is really a huge difference, and I can't catch up with the horse. ”

There was nothing wrong with that, but when it came out of his mouth, it always felt full of strange tastes. At this time, Simon had already come to the front of the group with a cane, and saw him wearing a broad-brimmed hat, wearing a pulpovan, long boots, and a cane in his hand, and fell to his knees at a distance, and spoke in a pure official language

"The villain Portuguese protector Simão de Rank, see His Excellency the Marquis of the great Ming Empire, I wish your Emperor eternal life, and I wish His Excellency the Marquis good health and happiness."

"Brother Rui, this Yiren's official language seems to be more standard than yours."

"I absolutely can't accept that. My official words, but with a Jingshi accent, are not comparable to his Yiren who makes a tone of voice. ”

Li Yanqing glanced at Ximang, "Just now, there was a row of guns, but you instructed someone to put it?" ”

"Exactly. I hope that His Excellency the Marquis will be satisfied. ”

Li Yanqing snorted, and the team passed by Simang's side, but he didn't mean to let him get up. Ximang was shocked: he has been doing business in Daming for so many years, and he can be regarded as having mastered some basic skills to figure out the minds of the Ming people. He hurriedly got up and trotted behind the Dao team.

When he came to the conference hall, Li Yanqing took a closer look, and now this is a stone fortress-shaped building. If in wartime, it is completely possible to play the role of a fortress, on the wall, there are shooting holes, and in the fortress, the lights are bright, and there are a few hired Han women to act as maids.

When the guest sat down, Li Yanqing's robe sleeves flicked, "Since the official took office, I haven't seen you wait for a post to come to the door, just when you don't know that the official has arrived." The former Xiangshan took the matter of the White Lotus Sect bandits, I don't know if you know. Now, the imperial court wants to strictly investigate the teaching case in Guangdong, and focus on catching the treacherous evil of the bandits. Moreover, Gong Chang is a large land with dense forests, and if some White Lotus Sect disciples are hiding in the meantime, sooner or later they will be harmed by the imperial court. If you take the ordnance from your hands, I am afraid that you will dare to raise the banner and rebel. ”

Simang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Marquis, this is all a misunderstanding. We just let go of our guns just to show our welcome to you, and that's a salute, a salute. ”

"Salute? Then this fortress city, is it also a welcome to me? You live in Gongchangdu, but do you declare that you are building such fortifications for the purpose of drying the goods, and for the sake of drying the goods? Although this official is a civil official, it does not mean that he is not proficient in military affairs, you are clearly going to build a city on the ground, intending to forcibly seize the territory of the Ming Dynasty, is it tolerable, which is unbearable? ”

Simon secretly complained to himself, secretly saying that he had met an unsympathetic official, and he was afraid that this matter would be troublesome. In the past, the main hall of Xiangshan basically did not come to Macao for on-the-spot inspection, and this fortress was repaired after it was repaired, and the people did not raise officials and not be held accountable. It was really clear to him, and it was indeed difficult to wash it up.

He had no choice but to take a step forward and muttered in a low voice, "Your Excellency Marquis, this trench ...... That is to say, you are talking about Gong Changdu, and we had an agreement with Wang Dashen of your country for specific leasing matters. Besides, we also deliver ambergris every year......"

"Shut up! Do you want to use the Son of Heaven and Wang Dashen to suppress me? Li Yanqing sneered, got up and lifted the robe with one hand, and held it with the other, as if the loyal ministers of the past dynasties were on the body, and it seemed that the whole gang of heroes in the Metropolitan Procuratorate was possessed, and the shape was like the Heavenly King Tota. This official eats Wang Lu, thanks Wang En, and is diligent in Wang Shi. is upright, with a clean breeze on his sleeves, he has been afraid of the majesty of Shangguan, and he is not afraid of angering the heavenly family! Even if it is broken, it is necessary to speak a fair life. The big deal is that I will be beaten and killed with a cane, so why should I damage my name? I tell you that you bold Buddha, Wang Dashen has already taken a break from illness and has gone home to recuperate! ”

Removing the previous nonsense, the last sentence hits the point. The reason why Macao was successfully leased and became the habitat of the Macao people in the first place was mainly due to Wang Bai, who was the deputy sea patrol envoy at the time, and he was also the biggest backer of these Portuguese. In return, the Portuguese would pay him 20,000 taels of silver every year as a benefit. In addition, he paid 600 taels of commercial tax to Daming as the cost of renting land.

If Wang Bai is here, relying on his official position of participating in politics on the right, he can suppress Li Yanqing, a small seven-rank official. However, the sea has been up and down, and Wang Dashen has recently lost in the official battle in the provincial capital, and he has already taken a sick break, and he can't get out of illness. If nothing else, I'll soon be going home and going into hiding. At this time, how can he still have the strength to take care of these foreign devils?

As for Jiajing Tianzi, let's not say that he doesn't have a few years to live. Just talking about ambergris, he also wants things rather than people, as long as he can find ambergris for him, he doesn't care who buys it from.

Macau can change a tribune at any time, and any pirate can add a German character to his surname and call himself a tribune, just as any pirate can call himself an archbishop. The key is who this Xiangshan main hall supports.

"You foreigner, you want to arm against the imperial court, and connive at your subordinates, plundering my Ming women and children, it's an unforgivable sin. The official should report it to the revised version, and the official will be able to arrest all of the pirates and punish them! The story of Tuen Mun before Cao Liang Wan will be repeated today! ”

Simang listened like five thunderbolts, but he didn't expect that the welcoming ceremony he had carefully prepared could make such a finish? Thanks to a young guard officer beside him, he spoke, "Your Excellency the Marquis, I think you have misunderstood what we Lord Ranke meant. We are honest and law-abiding merchants, not evil pirates. All the evidence that would prove our innocence has been sent to your ship. You know, the evidence is so much and so heavy that we have to send out ten lads to carry it, and when you get back to the ship, you'll know our loyalty. ”
