Chapter 476: Return to Guangzhou

Yan Hong also understood that this time he came to the trench mainly to deal with the affairs of the Portuguese, although the emperor's holy decree to him was to mobilize coastal military horses, and to decide whether to open the sea, whether to suppress or appease. But to represent the entire Ming Dynasty, declaring war on the Spaniards alone, he does not have such great authority, not to mention that it is impossible for the court to pass.

Therefore, he sneered and said, "Captain Miguel, what you said is not right. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty weijia all over the world, and the people of all countries are treated equally, how can he only discriminate against the big Buddha Lang machine? To say that Ben Qin Cha asked you little Buddha Lang machine man to beat the big Buddha Lang machine man, that is shameless slander, Ben Qin Cha will never say that. Ben Chin Cha only said that you are different from country to country, and there are occasional conflicts between each other, as long as you don't make too much trouble, everything will be decided by His Excellency the Sosa Tax Collector. As for Ms. Chrissy, I hope you will take care of it out of gentlemanly manners. If I had been happier, it would have been possible to reduce some of the obstacles to our cooperation. Am I clear enough? ”

The captains thought to themselves, this is nothing more than a matter of being a watch and setting up a memorial arch, who doesn't understand? Immediately, Miguel said: "Zhilu said, rest assured, Your Excellency Angel, we will take care of Ms. Chrissy." It's just that the ship owner is now in charge of the sea, and we dare not disrespect his orders. If he wants to protect the interests of the Spaniards, then we will not dare to disobey. ”

Yan Hong said: "You don't have to say this." To tell the truth, if it weren't for Wang's intention to recruit peace and submit to the imperial court, I wouldn't dare to handle this matter of opening the sea for a while. The opening of the port trade will naturally have to wait for the owner of the Wang ship to recruit security before it can be officially carried out. But this matter, if nothing else, it was a matter of a few months. You are at sea. Isn't the message as responsive as mine? So. If the ship is escorted by the old owner's people. Don't provoke it. Other times, everyone is begging for a living at sea, and there is a time when the teeth touch the tongue. Besides, what I'm talking about here is friendship, not business. If you think that we are still working together happily these days, you can sell me face. Anything else, it's all good to say. ”

Sosa hurriedly took over and said, "Yes." I've heard about it for a long time. Ms. Chrissy's business, we agreed. I am willing to help Ms. Chrissy set up a cannon-making workshop and a shipyard in the trenches, and help me as much as I can. Seeing this, several other captains also pledged to help, and if a Spanish ship bullied Ms. Chrissy, they would be willing to do their best to help.

Seeing this scene, Yan Hong nodded secretly. The reason why he dared to shoot Pedro. It's because Portugal is too far from Daming. Long distances are the best line of defense, no matter how strong Portugal is. It is impossible to cross such a long voyage to start a war against the Ming Dynasty. Even if it really comes, ten percent of the combat power may not be able to leave fifty percent, and the Ming Dynasty is fighting locally, waiting for work, and if the other party dares to come, it will also be sent to death.

The same is true with Spain. When he watched football back then, he had heard Gu Fatzi mention that there was a Spanish and Portuguese merger, although I don't know what year it happened, but most of it should be in the Ming Dynasty, because in the future, shouldn't the British be stronger?

These days, Yan Hong, Sousa and Christ learned about the situation in Europe, and also learned that the Habsburg Empire occupied Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, and a large number of overseas colonies, and also served as the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. And Portugal, despite its small territory, is also a global empire thanks to developed shipping. If Spain and Portugal merge in the future, the two giants will become one, which is not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

Now simply change history, through a group of pirates in Macau, provoke the contradictions between Spain and Portugal, so that the hatred between the two sides is getting deeper and deeper, even if he merges in the future, these local princes will naturally resist the Spaniards for fear of reversing old accounts, which is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

As for whether conniving at and supporting Chrissy's sacking of Spanish merchant ships would provoke retaliation from the Spaniards? Yan Hong felt that this should not be terrible. Spain mainland to Daming thousands of miles away, ten Spanish businessmen, to Daming left four, and then one to make a fortune back, it is enough. On the contrary, ten Spanish soldiers, and five of them were left in Daming, and they couldn't complete the combat mission either, so where did he come from?

Of course, how strong Spain is and whether it can win in a real fight, Yan Hong can't say that he is very sure in his heart. But he thought, everything is roughly reliable, and isn't it too cowardly? Even if I, Yan Hong, really triggered the World Realm War in advance, then I would go out and fight! Looking at the Ming Dynasty at this time, how can it not be as wimpy as I was in the last years of the Qing Dynasty? Moreover, now that Wang Zhi is about to recruit An, relying on his strong naval strength is enough to make the Spaniards anxious. Besides, if Spain is really strong enough to threaten the Ming Dynasty, then what else does this Wang Zhi rely on to suppress the two oceans? Therefore, according to the available information, he also determined that in a local defensive war, the Ming Dynasty could not lose.

However, Yan Hong's strange thoughts, the people present did not know the way. Chrissy only took special care of himself because of the joy of the previous night. Although she is still a lily in her bones, she also feels this kind of care. After everyone walked out of the castle, she whispered in Yan Hong's ear: "I will put on the court lady's costume tonight." ”

After all the arrangements were made, the Qin Cha lingered in the trench for a few more days, and then sent the team back to Guangzhou. Unlike when they came, in addition to Yan Hong's fleet, there were three more ships. One of them was the Galen ship Golden Deer, and the other was the Karak galleon Storm. Although the Storm had been severely damaged and difficult to repair completely, it was still possible to reluctantly sail back to Guangzhou after emergency repairs.

On the other ship, representatives sent by Sosa and six captains went to Guangzhou with a large sum of money. On the one hand, he pleaded guilty to Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, and on the other hand, he talked about trade with the spokesmen of the nobles. Although completely procedurally speaking, whether to open a port in the trench, the administrative procedures for this matter have not been completed, but since the angel Yan Hong has already made this trip, and the tax officer has basically determined, then some foreplay from now on is completely legal, as for the foreplay accidentally made a few substantive trades, it is just a technical mistake, and no one will pursue it.

And Captain Chrissy led the flagship to show his sincerity. In fact, the main reason is that she still wants to talk to Xia Zisu for a few more days, and it is best to achieve her heart. As a result, Xia Zisu's hair stood on end as soon as she saw her, and she directly asked Yan Hong to save her life, and it was better to let these two goblins fight than for her to pester herself. This time Yan Hong was cheaper, and he had several gut-to-gut battles with Chrissy, from uniform temptation to role-playing, all of them were drilled, but poor Chrissy was going to play the violated princess for a while, and he was going to play the captured female military general, tired and messy, but it was also quite fresh.

When the ship arrived in Guangzhou, Wang Dashen got off the boat listlessly, he not only took a knife this time, but also exposed the previous collection of black money. Now that the money has returned to the treasury, he has cut off his own income. Therefore, even though his injuries have healed for seven or eight points, his spirit is sluggish, and he is far less energetic than when he went to the trench. Fortunately, Yan Hong promised to find a fat shortage for him after opening the sea to make up for the shortfall. Wang Bai had to comfort himself secretly, looking forward to the early opening of the sea ban.

This time, Waiyi came to the governor's yamen to confess, which can be regarded as giving Wang Junmen enough face. The common people didn't know what was going on, and they talked about it, praising the prestige of the Ming army, but also talking about it, since they were exempted from swords, they didn't have to apportionment military salaries and taxes, which was a real benefit. But I don't know when the sea ban will be opened, the sooner the sea will be opened, and the sooner it will be better to do business openly.

After this group of Ziyi people set sail back to the trench realm, the group of nobles who followed Yan Hong were all full of joy on their faces. In this matter, both sides have indeed achieved a win-win situation. The goods that the nobles can provide, whether in terms of quality or price, are not comparable to those monopoly maritime merchants.

Those pirates also have a lot of shady goods in their hands, if they are handed over to those coastal private merchants, they are not worth twenty percent, but if they are sold to the nobles, they can be sold for sixty percent. On the other hand, how can the things in the hands of those people of the noble family see the light? So this time, both sides took what they needed, and both sides were happy. In addition to a large amount of silver and gold, the nobles also received a lot of goods, and they all sold them at a good price after returning to Beijing.

Looking at the white sails of the Western ship disappearing into the distance, Xia Zisu suddenly said: "If the little minister is reluctant, why don't you leave people behind?" ”

Yan Hong naturally knew who Xia Zisu was talking about, he was still a little taboo and sneaky. But on the way back, Xia Zisu took the initiative to explain his relationship with Chrissy, and took the initiative to beg him to take action and get the foreign girl away, and Yan Hong had no scruples. Listening to Xia Zisu's statement at this time, there was a faint sense of jealousy, Yan Hong was greatly affected in his heart, and said with a smile: "What's so reluctant about this?" You see, I haven't ever blocked a bullet for her. ”

Xia Zisu heard the other party say this, her face was slightly hot, it was said that at this time, everything was over, and she should turn around and leave. But somehow, in her heart, she always wished to stay a few more days. For a while, I thought that the Vajra Buddha had not yet appeared, and if I walked on the front foot, Yan Hong was killed by him on the back foot, I would regret it...... Phew, what does Yan Hong's life and death have to do with me, what are your regrets? It's just that since I, the purple-clothed Chang'e, went out to protect Qincha, if Qincha was killed instead, I would inevitably lose the face of the master, and for the sake of the master's face, I would also protect him from death first. For a while, I thought that these two Western ships and Western artillery have a great deal to do, Yan Hong specially repaired the book for this purpose and entered Beijing to play the Son of Heaven, if it was destroyed by demons, wouldn't it be bad? I also want to reunite with Shi Shibo and Wang Shibo, and I should get along for a few more days. (To be continued......)
