Liu Xizhi said to Wang Xijue: "Ge Lao, Fanyi doesn't know about the political affairs of my Celestial Dynasty, so he mistakenly traded firearms in Burma, and his firearms are not for my China, but for business self-protection; What's more, since the World Temple allowed him to live in Haojing for trade, he has tacitly allowed him to make firearms for self-defense, and now he rashly orders to take it back, which is indecent! ”

"In addition, the Francophile is originally Fanyi, and Fanyi only knows how to do business, so selling firearms to traitors in this dynasty, and then selling them to Burmese by traitors in this dynasty, is not a traitor to Tongyi."

"Even if it is forbidden to sell firearms, it should be clearly announced, and if it does not comply, it is okay to use swords and soldiers. Now, directly and forcibly seizing its property is not the way to govern the country! ”

Wang Xijue said: "The servant only recognizes the emperor's edict, and the only thing allowed by the temple is only allowed to rent land in Haojing for trade, and not to make firearms privately." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xijue took out a holy decree and said: "The servant has asked His Majesty to confiscate the firearms and workshops made privately by Fanyi in Haojing!" ”

"As Liu Bingxian said, the holy will also takes into account that Fanyi does not know the etiquette, does not know the rules of our Heavenly Dynasty, and does not know the request to make firearms privately, and does not directly want to destroy it with the crime of plotting against this dynasty! Therefore, it is only confiscated, because he did not report and privately made weapons in the land of China, so as to punish him for the crime of disrespecting our country. ”

Wang Xijue looked at Liu Xizhi when he said this: "Liu Bingxian, what else do you have to say?" ”

Liu Xizhi replied: "Now that the holy decree has been issued, the subordinates dare not resist the decree, but the old man of the cabinet, the Fanyi according to Haojing, has gradually become a force, suddenly seized its property, fearing that it will be dissatisfied, and because he does not know the meaning of my Heavenly Empire, he will resist stubbornly, increase casualties, and even hate the army to invade our two Guangzhou; It is better to ask the quasi-subordinates to contact them first, see their attitude, and persuade them to take the initiative to hand over the reverse property. ”

Wang Xijue twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and then bowed his head: "Salute first and then fight is also the way of a great country!" ”

As he spoke, Wang Xijue said: "What's more, coastal defense is the duty of the military constitution, and the servants are not good to intervene in the place very arbitrarily, and the quasi-military constitution is the words, please go to Fanyi first to announce the will of the emperor, so that he can hand over the soldiers." ”

Liu Xizhi said yes, and the next day he personally came to Haojing with the holy decree to meet with Bishop Carneiro of Franc Jihaojing.

Carneiro and the other Francophiles had just secretly held a meeting in Hojing, and decided to set up a council to imitate the urban autonomy system of the Franco.

Of course, this council was not approved by the Ming court.

Carneiro only sent someone to apply to the Governor of India and Portugal, but did not send an application to the Ming court, obviously not thinking that Hao Jing belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

Because Xiyi in this era has always had an ambition to conquer the world, and now it is in the Haojing civilization trade, but the Ming Empire is not easy to conquer directly.

At this time, Liu Xizhi suddenly made an appointment with him and told him that because they had not asked His Majesty the Emperor for privately making firearms, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to confiscate their counterproperty, Carneiro was also angry, he felt that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom was very barbaric, did not believe in God, and even intensified the bullying of his missionaries who peacefully conquered the areas that did not believe in God.

"Now that the decree has been given, you should obey it and give up your property as soon as possible, so that you may continue to trade."

"Don't think about it!"

Liu Xizhi considered that Haojing's peaceful trade did bring tax revenue to the local government and solved the survival problems of many people in Zhaoqing, so he persuaded Carneiro with kind words.

Carneiro nodded, "We'll do as we please!" ”

Carneiro considered that it would be difficult for him to turn his face when he came to see Liu Xizhi alone, so he agreed on the surface, and after he went back, he convened a council and said to the members of the council:

"The barbaric heretics have decided to take away the mirror we have discovered and operated, and we should put an end to the peaceful way of preaching, or we will lose the mirror!"

"The mirror belongs to our great Roman emperor! No one can take him away! ”

Kinlar, the council's senior municipal councillor, agreed.

At this time, the councillor Luo Mingjian objected, saying: "Father Fan said that we need to respect the etiquette of the Ming Kingdom, and we cannot rashly fight with it, this is a powerful pagan country in the East, and their civilization is not so backward, we need to use the way of following the local customs, so that they can accept our teachings, not by means of conquest by force, which will only make them aggravate their bad feelings against our propaganda teachings, and they will be regarded as thieves; Therefore, we should obey their will and give them the workshops and craftsmen of firearms, and trade and preach only here. ”

Bang!

Jinlar slapped the table and glared at Luo Mingjian angrily: "Surrendering to a pagan emperor is betraying God!" ”

Luo Mingjian asked directly: "Have you forgotten the battle of Tuen Mun?" ”

Just as Daming has dovish officials like Liu Xizhi, the Francis of Haojing, that is, the Portuguese, also has doves like Luo Mingjian.

But the mirror was too important for the Franc Colonists.

After all, they have been operating here for decades, and they have long been preparing to use this as a base to conquer the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, most of the Francophile officials of the council were still reluctant to hand over the firearms, firearms workshops and craftsmen of Ho Kyo, because that would be tantamount to losing the autonomy they had forcibly granted themselves in Ho Kyog without the permission of the Ming court, as well as many economic benefits.

At this time, the elder and bishop of the council, Carneiro, said: "Hao Jing is not Tuen Mun, we already have our own firearms workshop and fortifications that can be defended here, and we have an army that has been trained to prevent them from encroaching for a long time, we can protect our Hao Jing!" ”

Carneiro's opinion was agreed with by the majority of the council members.

Captain Jianige personally led a hundred firearms, and on the orders of Carneiro, raided Liu Xizhi's inn where he was temporarily stationed in Haojing.

Bang!

Bang!

Gunfire erupted.

The fifty soldiers of the Yamen who came with Liu Xizhi were all killed by the raiding Franc Man.

The Han Chinese who ran the inn and Liu Xizhi's staff were all killed.

And Liu Xizhi, who was about to wait for Carneiro to return to his life, was also dragged outside the inn by Jianige's personal order, and ordered Liu Xizhi to kneel.

Liu Xizhi was forcibly pressed to his knees on the ground, and couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "You robbers, go and call your bishop!" This constitution is an official of the imperial court, how can you be humiliated! ”

Bang!

Seeing that Liu Xizhi did not kneel, Jianige simply slashed at Liu Xizhi's neck with a knife.

Liu Xizhi was separated like this, and blood was splattered on the spot.

It is the first Ming official to be killed by Xiyi, and he is a civil official with no low rank and power.

"The arrogant and greedy heretics have been slain by us! Glory will be to our great Holy Roman Emperor and his subjects! ”

At this time, Jianige carried Liu Xizhi's head, proudly said to his firecrackers, and then pointed in the direction of Xiangshan County and said: "Conquer Xiangshan, conquer these barbarians who don't believe in God!" ”

At this time, Portugal still recognized the Spanish emperor as its monarch, and the Spanish emperor was often referred to as the Holy Roman Emperor, such as Pizarro when he conquered the Inca Empire, and he also shouted the edict of the Holy Roman Emperor.

Therefore, Jiani Pavilion also shouted out like this at this time.

According to the arrangement of the council, he needs to take down Liu Xizhi of Haidao with lightning speed, and directly take Xiangshan, which may not have been alerted, and then obtain a stronghold that can be defended.

Because Macau has no city walls yet.
