"Hahahaha, Su Langqing, Su Langqing, you only see today, but you don't see tomorrow." Wang Li on the side laughed when he heard it.

"Now the momentum of the far sea has far surpassed that of our other three seas, and even more than half of the taxes paid by the four seas this year are from the far sea." Su Langqing retorted.

"So what? What does the open sea depend on? It's just a South Sea."

"Do you think the Ming Court will let the pieces on the chessboard escape his grasp?" Wang Li looked at Su Langqing and said with a smile.

"Now the far sea is more and more out of the jurisdiction of the Ming Court, but I, Lu Hai, have taken the initiative to submit to the Ming Court." The king left the road.

Since the Ming Court appeased Jiading, Lu Hai has been busy with the Ming Court, and even did not hesitate to tie Lu Hai to the Ming Court's chariot.

This made several other chambers of commerce extremely puzzled.

If the original intention of the establishment of the Ming Court is that the Ming Court is used to control and monitor the other three seas, and it is itself in the hands of the Ming Court, and it is powerless to resist, the other three seas are actually only a cooperative relationship with the Ming Court.

Now, Yuanhai is becoming more and more out of the control of the Ming court, and even wants to become the East India Company of the Ming people of Nanyang.

And Lu Hai actually chose to act as the pawn of the Ming Court, and was willing to become a vassal of the Ming Court.

This is not only because many businessmen in the Lu Hai Chamber of Commerce but even Zhao Tianming and Su Langqing, who are in charge of the four seas, can't understand why Lu Hai did this.

The fleet took only three or four days to make its way north to Hoi An Harbor.

"Su Langqing, the head of the Ming Sea of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, asked to meet Lord Ruan on behalf of the Governor of the Ming Court."

As soon as he arrived at Hoi An Port, before he went to the Lu Maritime Merchant Hall to rest for a while, Su Langqing couldn't wait to meet the local officials in Hoi An.

Several local Quang Nam officials in Hoi An looked at the Chinese businessmen in front of them in surprise.

Nowadays, the establishment of the Nanyang Ming people in Luzon has long been rumored to be known to everyone.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the Ming Court sent people over more than a year ago to ask for trade, and I didn't expect that more than a year later, the Ming Court sent another group of people.

"Come with me."

Several Guangnan officials present at the scene were obviously old acquaintances with Wang Li.

For Wang Li's sake, he did not search the merchants of Minghai, but asked Su Langqing and Wang Li to go to the Hoi An official mansion together.

The culture of Annam originated from the Central Plains, whether it is clothing, writing, or architectural style, all of which are copied from the traditional dynasties of the Central Plains.

Even the government is designed in the same style as the traditional Chinese county government.

"Do you want to meet Lord Ruan?" A Quang Nam official asked in Chinese.

To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of these merchants.

If it weren't for the countless silver taels every year, he wouldn't even want to look at An Mingshang squarely.

"Last time, the Far Sea Chamber of Commerce went to Hue through Hoi An to meet Lord Nguyen on the order of the Ming Court, but unfortunately the Ming Court was unable to negotiate with Quang Nan, this time I brought the sincerity of the Ming Court in Luzon to meet Lord Nguyen." Su Langqing looked at the Guangnan officials in front of him in official uniforms with a smile on his face.

The official uniform of this Guangnan official is similar to the official uniform of the Ming court official, and even the Guangnan official in front of him is fluent in Chinese, what if people who don't know still think that they have returned to Luzon?

"Since it is the Ming court who wants to trade with me in Guangzhou, it is naturally the best, after all, a large number of Ming merchants live and settle in Hoi An Port." Zheng Zhi said.

"Then I don't know when my Ming Shang can go to Hue." Su Langqing didn't want to delay now, and asked straight to the point.

"Well." Zheng Zhi and several other Quang Nam officials glanced at each other.

"From Hoi An to Hue, it will take a while to come and go, I will wait for the Lord Ruan to convey the intention of Ming Shang, I'm afraid it will take some time, I'm afraid it will ......" Zheng Zhi glanced at Su Langqing with a sad face, and then looked at Wang Li.

Su Langqing, Wang Li naturally knew what these Guangnan officials wanted.

"A small salute is not a tribute." Wang Li took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels from between his cuffs.

Now, Minghai Money Village has been opened all over the South Seas.

As long as there is a place where Ming merchants exist, there is Ming Hai Money.

Zheng Zhi smiled and took the silver ticket of 10,000 taels.

Minghai's silver ticket, that's hard currency.

There is no such thing as depreciation, as long as you take the silver ticket to the bank to exchange, then you can exchange the corresponding amount of silver dollars.

Of course, if the amount is large enough, then make an appointment in advance and wait for a merchant ship full of silver taels to arrive from Luzon.

Although Quang Nam also issued its own silver tickets, they were uneven and far less valuable than the Ming Hai silver tickets.

"I'll go to Hue right away." Zheng Zhi smiled from ear to ear and hurriedly said.

"After the lord reads the book, we will immediately set off and go to Hue with the paperwork." Su Lang Qingdao...

"Oh, are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay in Hoi An for a few more days?" Zheng Zhi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw these Ming businessmen in such a hurry.

"It's a bit tricky, there's no precedent for this." Zheng Zhi looked embarrassed again and looked at Wang Li.

Wang Li's face did not change, and he took out a tael of silver tickets from between his cuffs and handed them to Zheng Zhi.

"Tomorrow I will send an envoy from Hoi An to Hue with you." Zheng Zhi took the silver ticket as if no one was familiar and spoke.

"Then I'll go back to the merchant house and get ready, and leave tomorrow morning." Su Langqing stood up and saluted the Quang Nam officials present.

"Put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Bursts of black smoke rose from the vast flatlands.

The bronze cannons trembled violently, and the flames flashed, and lead bullets smashed straight into the distant city wall.

The 12-pound buckshot slammed into the city wall, smashing out one crater after another in an instant.

The huge impact force caused the entire city wall to shake, and the rebel officers and soldiers stationed on the city wall looked at the shaking wall with panic.

It's true that the defense of the city is strong, so it also depends on what is the siege of?

On the flat ground more than a mile away, four Zhennan general cannons were bombarding the city wall.

Yang Yandi looked at the city wall in the distance with a melancholy expression.

A few days earlier, he had arrived at the foot of Midi Castle.

I wanted to persuade Huang Jin to surrender so that the people in the city would not be harmed by the rebellion, but I didn't expect this person to resist stubbornly and refuse to leave the city to surrender.

After several days of persuasion to no avail, the Ming generals who followed him lost patience.

The order was ordered to open up the artillery battalion of the general Zhennan, who had just arrived under the city, to bombard the city.

These artillery pieces set out from Haikou for Meidi Castle more than 10 days ago.

Those who can take the waterway along the way are transported by boat, and when the river is blocked, they are hauled by war elephants.

Along the way, the officers and men of the artillery battalion worked in two shifts, starry night, and finally arrived at the city on the eve of the siege after spending more than ten days.

The Ming army's 12-pounder Zhennan General Cannon finally exerted its power.

In just one volley, four 12-pound buckshot bullets hit the walls.

Each shot left a large uneven crater in the city wall.

Instead of using harder iron bullets, the Ming army used lead bullets that killed soft targets, in order to deter the rebels in the city.

Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't dare to open fire.

Of course, having said that, the Ming army still restrained the idea of attacking the city.
