Chapter 367: The Officials Want to Impose a Tax on Annam!
Zhao Hengyi is also more curious, that is, he wants to know if this Zheng Long Gang is really as rumored.
Probably not.
"Why are you Zheng Long Gang called that? Is it really because your ancestors are the ancestors of Zheng who used to dominate the ocean? ”
Zheng Hailong nodded lightly.
"Yes, yes, my ancestor is that old lady Zheng, he is really very powerful, I especially worship him, and I hope that one day I can conquer the ocean like him!"
As soon as Zhao Hengyi heard this, he was a little out of breath, and directly kicked him and kicked him to the ground.
"What do you say?"
"Don't think of yourself as a thing."
"And conquer the seas, and say that you pirates are illiterate, but you still don't believe it."
"Where did a eunuch come from?"
"This ......"
Zheng Hailong was blindfolded, he didn't expect that his excited ancestor turned out to be a eunuch, so embarrassing, he thought ......
"Okay, do you think I should spare your life, or just kill you? After all, we are here to suppress bandits this time, and our king's army will go on the expedition, so naturally there will be no grass! ”
As soon as Zheng Hailong heard this, he fell to the ground in fright.
He looked at it very frightened and said hurriedly.
"Keep me, keep me, maybe it's of some use."
Zhao Hengyi was stunned for a moment, what is the use of keeping him? It's weird.
What can you do with Zheng Hailong?
"Then you tell me, what can you do if you keep it?"
"You're a pirate, it's really useless for us to keep a pirate like you, so we thought about it and should just click you."
Zheng Hailong was so frightened that his pants were about to pee, and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, while he kept thinking about what use he was for their army.
"Well, so be it, I'm really useful to you."
"Hmm...... Are you going to exterminate pirates from other places? After all, in this large sea area, we Zheng Long Gang are not the only pirate forces. ”
"Okay, I understand what you're talking about."
Zhao Hengyi smiled lightly, he had such a will, after all, pirates must be more familiar with each other.
The pirates of their gang may also know the location of another relatively large pirate.
It's too difficult to find a pirate on this big ocean.
Zhao Hengyi thought about it, in order to make the army more smooth, in order to make them take less unjust roads, they really need a guide.
"How can I believe that you can bring us the right course, in case you deceive us?"
Zheng Hailong hurriedly shook his head.
"No, don't worry, General, how could I lie to you? I lied to you, can't I live myself? I'm now a prisoner under your command, and I'll do whatever you want me to do. ”
"That's right."
Zhao Hengyi waved his hand, and let his subordinates pull this Zheng Hailong outside, and hit him with the stick in his hand one by one, making him scream and look very pitiful.
"Ah...... It hurts, it hurts! ”
"Is it good to tap it, ladies and gentlemen, my body can't stand it with a tap."
However, these soldiers under his command did not stop, but became more and more vigorous.
Originally, they hated pirates very much, and now that this pirate leader has fallen into the hands of their soldiers, what are they hesitating about?
After this matter on the island was resolved, Zhao Hengyi ordered their sailors, "Wait for this big victory, guard against arrogance and rashness!" ”
"Although our army is strong, we must also be vigilant against foreign enemies, and the army will rest from today onwards, eat and drink as much as you like, and eat these things on the island as long as you can eat them."
"Of course, some treasures still have to be taken back to serve as treasury..."
Zhao Hengyi ordered the three armies to be fed and drunk, anyway, to prepare for the next battle.
He also asked the remaining pirates if anyone else had gone out and had not returned.
When I asked, I found out that no, basically all of them were on this island, only the second and third masters led the pirates out, but they intercepted them, which was also a bitter fate.
Zhao Hengyi was finally relieved at this moment, but he was still a little worried.
He was worried about what would happen if another pirate fleet came to this island?
So he also arranged for a lot of soldiers to patrol around the island, and as soon as there was another fleet, he would report it quickly.
……
Great Yanjing Division.
Above the court, the official listened to the people under his hands reporting some new excerpts, and thought in their hearts, why are you so irritable? Why haven't you finished it yet?
I wanted to go to the harem again to play with Concubine Chen.
"Official, since Annan has settled down, let them pay the tax money they should pay in a few months."
As soon as these words came out, the official family was stunned for a moment, and even the other adults above the court were stunned for a moment.
Lu Guogong was even more angry.
"No! Annan has just settled down, and has accepted a large number of displaced people, and now he has to pay taxes, absolutely not, or wait for next year. ”
"Lu Guogong, you can't think like that, if you wait until next year, my country's treasury will be empty, and you just need money."
"I heard that the Marquis of Qiongzhou has governed that side well, and he will definitely be able to take out the tax money, so let them hurry up, there is no problem."
"Don't think that the imperial court doesn't know what that Qiongzhou Marquis did over there?"
"He actually went to exterminate the pirates, what did he think, it turned out that when the lord of Annan was there, he didn't think about exterminating the pirates, did he have a head draw? I still think I can win. ”
"Yes, he's a pretty strong man, but I don't think he'll be able to wipe out the pirates."
Lu Guogong was speechless for a while, unable to speak, but it was indeed the imperial court that was excessive.
"Okay, since the ministers have no opinions, let Annan hand over the tax and silver as soon as possible."
The meaning of these ministers in the DPRK and China is very clear: they must pay taxes, they must pay taxes, even if paying taxes will make some local people have different ideas.
It doesn't matter, anyway, it's all the Marquis of Qiongzhou who is in charge, and the court doesn't care if you are against it or not.
Anyway, this place is it, and the impact on the imperial court is not very great.
Just when the news reached Qiongzhou Mansion, Liu Yunzhi learned the news and said angrily: "These old ministers are too hateful! ”
"Annan has just settled down, and he has to hand over the tax money as soon as possible, what do they think!"
"It's okay now, I really don't want to care about Annan!"
"It is estimated that even if Annan is not my Dayan's land, the officials will not blink their eyes."
