Chapter 1102 No more Macau

Otherwise, just because the Folangji people can give away an extra boatload of food, the court probably won't say anything.

Shiweila was actually very aggrieved when he was scolded by the prefect of Guangzhou. Think about the governors of other places, who doesn’t speak for themselves locally? The local natives were even more frightened and cautious, for fear of offending the governor. It would be better for me to come to the Ming Dynasty to be the governor. How can I be a governor? This is like being a grandson!

However, even though Shiweila felt aggrieved, he suddenly heard that the prefect of Guangzhou told the story about Annan, and he was immediately frightened. The Ming Dynasty actually knew about Annan's story! This is how to do?

Before he could think of any way to deal with it, he saw the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture with a stern face and shouted angrily: "It's great to have friends from far away! But if they come as jackals, you are deceiving me that Ming Dynasty cannot fight wolves." ? According to the order of the Governor, we must give an explanation to the Ming Dynasty within one month. Otherwise, you Folangji people will be our enemies of the Ming Dynasty!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ma San. Seeing that he had no expression, he rolled up his sleeves and turned around to leave.

Shivila was a little stunned when he heard this. For him, this was a disaster that fell from the sky. If he really becomes an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, then his governorship will be in name only! In a hurry, he hurriedly took two steps forward and shouted: "My lord, my lord, I wonder what kind of explanation your country wants?"

At this time, he no longer dared to quibble and deny. Everyone had made it so clear, so he obviously already knew about it.

When the prefect of Guangzhou heard this, before turning around, he saw Ma San step forward, holding the handle of the Xiuchun knife, and shouted in a cold voice: "I, the Ming Dynasty, have never been merciful to those who rebelled. But whoever, please immediately put down your weapons and ask for surrender, or I, the Ming Emperor, will be accommodating. If you dare to resist, the heavenly troops will definitely come!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Shiweila and turned to look at the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture and said: "The Governor has ordered that within the time limit for the reply from Fo Langji, for the sake of the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty, all people must evacuate Haojing'ao. If you are a member of Fo Langji, you are not allowed to go out."

When the magistrate of Guangzhou Prefecture heard this, he was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the people watching, and sighed in his heart, it turned out to be the cold-faced King of Hell. He didn't dare to disobey, so he immediately agreed.

After hearing what the translator conveyed, Shivella's face suddenly turned pale. Probably because at this time, Haojingao was already a market town with tens of thousands of people, but they all served the Folangji people. If all the people of the Ming Dynasty evacuate, will all the things be done by the Fo Langji people themselves? It is conceivable that his men will rebel by then.

However, no matter what he thought or how anxious he was, the magistrate of Guangzhou Prefecture did not dare to fail to implement Sun Chuanting's order, and immediately ordered the accompanying government officials to arrest the head and start the matter immediately.

The onlookers came over to watch the excitement with smiles. Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, they actually heard it and asked them to leave Haojing Ao. Suddenly, the people watching were in a panic. They all make a living here, and letting them leave means they have no more work to do, which harms their interests.

"What? Let us leave? What about my store?"

"Yeah, I've been working here for so many years, how can I leave just now?"

"..."

Hearing the complaints from the people around him, the frightened Shivera felt his heart move. He quickly grabbed the translator and asked him about the situation. But when he learned that these Ming people were complaining, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He immediately walked over and said loudly to the people of the Ming Dynasty who were watching: "It's not easy for everyone to make a fortune here. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to just leave as soon as you say it? I believe you all have families and families." …”

At this time, more and more people were watching. They were talking about each other because they heard what the police officer said. But now they heard the senior official of Folangjiren talking, and the discussion became even louder. For a while, there was a lot of excitement.

Shivera saw this and couldn't help but feel very proud. It is not easy for me to directly conflict with the Ming Kingdom here, but there are tens of thousands of Ming Kingdom people here. He has been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time and knows that the Ming Dynasty officials are most afraid of gathering people to make trouble. Once there are too many people, they will easily compromise. As the Ming Dynasty himself said: The law does not punish the public!

Sure enough, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture had already got into the sedan chair, and when he heard the noise outside, he was frightened. If a civil unrest breaks out, the court will definitely hold him accountable as a local official.

But before he could react, Ma San suddenly made a "clang" sound, drew out his Xiuchun knife, strode forward, pointed the tip of the knife at Shivella, and shouted angrily: "Bold Xi Yi, How dare you encourage the people of Ming Dynasty to cause trouble, you are asking for your own death!"

Shivella didn't expect this, and when he saw the bright tip of the knife stretched out in front of him, he was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back. Seeing this, several Franco soldiers standing not far away immediately stepped forward with their muskets and pointed their guns at Ma San to protect their governor.

When the government officials and policemen here saw him, they were immediately frightened. They rushed over and gathered behind Ma San. In an instant, a chain reaction formed and a confrontation immediately formed.

The noise was really loud, and it frightened the people of the Ming Dynasty who were talking noisily. Suddenly, the scene became quiet. Many people are even ready to run away.

Ma San came from a pirate background and was originally a bold leader. He has been with Liu Guoneng for a long time, so his horizons are higher. He is not worried about these things at all. After seeing this situation, he took two steps forward. How could those Francois dare to shoot, so he took a few steps back to protect Shivella.

Seeing this, Ma San showed a trace of disdain, then turned his head, glanced at the people who were watching, and shouted loudly: "The people of Folangji encouraged Annan to rebel against the court, and they were a group of thieves. The court was benevolent and gave them a surrender to apologize. opportunity. If they dare to resist to the end, the imperial court will definitely send out a large army to attack them. If you don't wait, they are likely to be harmed by the Folangji people."

At this point, he paused and shouted coldly: "You have to think carefully. If you help the tyrants and help the Folangji people fight against the imperial court, this is a rebellion!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored everyone, put the knife in its sheath, turned around and strode away.

Seeing this, the prefect of Guangzhou stood outside the sedan and said loudly: "I'll give you three days to go back there! If Mr. Fo Langji gives the court a satisfactory answer, you can come back again."

After saying that, he also got into the sedan chair and led the government officials away quickly.

Shivella watched all this in a daze, and when he saw that the crowd that had been in a lively mood just now suddenly became silent, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He could finally see that the Ming government still had great prestige in the hearts of the people. Otherwise, if this matter had been elsewhere, there would have been a falling out.

However, no matter what, he still has some illusions. He wants to keep these Ming people in Haojing'ao. Not only will Haojing'ao not be paralyzed, but he can also use these Ming people when necessary. After all, there are tens of thousands of people, which is not a small number.

So, he pushed aside the soldiers of Fo Langji who were protecting him, walked to the people, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, if you are willing to stay here, how about doubling the consumption of Fo Langji people? Everyone. He came here to make a fortune. If he leaves, what will happen to the whole family, right..."

For Schwera, he believes that interests come first. Didn’t these people from the Ming Dynasty come here just for money? There was such a fierce fuss just now, although I was frightened for a moment, but now that I have offered double the price, I believe I can keep many people, right?

Unexpectedly, after he said a lot, the people of the Ming Dynasty who were surrounding him were silent for a long time, and someone suddenly responded loudly: "Tell me what evil you have done! You have come all the way to my Ming Dynasty, and you are so kind." It’s great to make money! If you have to help the rebels, this is rebellion, do you understand?”

Hearing someone complaining, others immediately followed suit. All of a sudden, these Ming people were seen surrounding Shivella, spitting so much that even the translator had no time to translate.

"That's it, don't you know that the rebellion is going to kill the nine tribes? And you keep saying it's to make a fortune?"

"It's not easy for you Folangji people to come here. Let me tell you, you should quickly admit your mistakes and apologize. Maybe you can still stay here and we can all make a fortune together! Otherwise, do you really think you can defeat me, the Ming Dynasty?"

"You are so brave, you even dare to participate in the rebellion! If I had known, I would have left!"

"..."

Hearing that the people of the Ming Dynasty were pointing their fingers at him, Shivella was dumbfounded. Is the direction of the wind changing too fast? I actually offered double the price!

Complaints are what they are, but these people of the Ming Dynasty will not take action against Shivella. After talking a lot, it felt like a chicken and a duck talking, but others couldn't understand. The translator is just a mouth, and it can't be translated. What he said is all in vain.

As a result, these Ming people began to greet people they knew well.

"Hurry up and pack your things and go back. This is no joke!"

"I heard that there is a children's school in my hometown, do you know? There is an opportunity for children to go to school for free! Maybe going back is also a good choice!"

"There are always floods in my hometown, but I heard that some squires built river embankments and there have been no floods for more than a year. It's a good idea to go back and take a look!"

"Yes, there are no rich people paying money here. In fact, let me tell you, the court's obedience and obedience should be followed by these Folangji people, so that they also have to pay!"

"..."

After saying this, the people watching slowly dispersed. Before long, there was only a group of lone Folangji people.

It was only at this time that the translator finally finished translating the general situation and general public opinion to Schweira.

After listening to this, Shivella looked at the empty front and was speechless for a long time.

He is a governor and sees things from a different perspective than others. From what just happened, he could see that the Ming government had a great influence on the people and the government orders were smooth, which meant that the Ming government had a strong mobilization ability. In some ways, the Ming Dynasty has a very rich heritage.

In fact, even if he didn't look at this, just by looking at the situation along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, Shivera could know how powerful the Ming Dynasty was. You know, even the Portuguese's mortal enemies, the Dutch in Dazang, were almost all beaten away by the Ming Dynasty itself.

Especially when Shivera recalled the comparison between the situation in the Ming Dynasty when he first arrived and the situation in the Ming Dynasty now, he found that the military strength of the Ming Dynasty was getting stronger and stronger. From a certain perspective, it was because of seeing this that the Europeans were worried that the Ming Dynasty would attack Haojing'ao, so they retreated to the next best thing and wanted to find a new base in Annan.

I just didn't expect that before the base over there was recovered, the incident came to light. Ming Guo came to the door first and asked Hao Jing'ao to give an explanation. This is completely inconsistent with expectations. As a result, the interests of the Far East will be damaged.

However, Annan's side now has greater authority than him. If they want to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to agree to this condition. This means that he, the governor of Hao Jing Ao, has come to an end!

Thinking of this, Shivella became extremely depressed. It's just that he can't influence his country's decisions. I could only curse in my heart: "A bunch of short-sighted idiots!"

It would be great if everything was done according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty and we could still stay in Haojing'ao and trade with the Ming Dynasty! Now, it seems that all we can do is pack up and leave!

Or, do something big before you leave?

As soon as this idea came up, Shivella couldn't help but shake her head again. Not to mention that the troops and fleet from Hao Jing'ao were transferred to Annan, but the Ming Dynasty's quick response ability alone might easily make it easier for them to steal the chicken but not lose the rice!

The current plan is to quickly report to Annan, explaining that the country already knows the details, and let them have the headache of how to deal with the aftermath!

Just as Shivella thought, the response speed of the Ming government was so fast. Before he returned to the barracks, Sun Chuanting, the governor of three provinces in Fujian, already knew about the situation here.

After thinking about it for a moment, he left the Governor's Mansion and headed to the military camp outside Fuzhou City.

The reform of the military system of the guards in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, which are under the jurisdiction of Sun Chuanting, is progressing faster than in other provinces. In Fujian, under Sun Chuanting's eyes and under his own watch, the military reform had been completed. The old and weak have been eliminated from the army, and those who remain are the military households that Sun Chuanting likes.

The reason why he attached great importance to this was not only because it was the emperor's will and he resolutely implemented it, but also because the backbone of the army he had at hand, namely Liu Guoneng's troops, had been in the south for almost three years. According to the original plan, this army was to return to the north.

It is naturally not Sun Chuanting's style to have no soldiers at his disposal. He consciously knew how to train soldiers, so he personally paid attention to and trained the military households he left behind. Thanks to the tax revenue brought by the opening of the sea in the past two years, he was able to keep a lot of money and had enough silver to train the army.

Of course, judging from the original history, Sun Chuanting was indeed able to train troops. At least the Qin soldiers he led were the last capable army in the late Ming Dynasty.
