Although the trip to Guangzhou City in Galenell achieved the desired results, it cannot be said that it is very pleasant.

Because he had realized the strategic significance of the lotus stem, once the government sets a barrier on the lotus stem, it will directly cut off the connection between the two. Once the waterway is also blocked, the Macau Peninsula will immediately become an isolated island.

There are no large crops on the Macau Peninsula, nor are there fat cattle and sheep, and all living materials are extremely lacking. But those adventurers fell in love with that land. The Portuguese alone had exceeded 1,000 people, and many daily necessities were

Rely on the mainland.

More importantly, once the Lotus Stem is set to be cleared, his plan to collect tariffs at Haojing Wharf will go bankrupt completely. How can there be any relevant taxes without the circulation of goods?

But what made him a little relieved was that Wang Bai, the highest-ranking official in Guangdong, was a greedy guy, and he happened to provide the ambergris needed by their king.

This is a magical country, and these officials can exchange everything for their kings in order to please them.

The next morning, he left the city and came to the Pearl River, but saw that the river surface was no longer as prosperous as before, and many piers seemed empty, with few ships flowing downstream.

"What's going on?"

Galenel frowned slightly, feeling that this incident was a bit strange. It was very easy to shut down the lotus stem and leave the land route, but it was extremely difficult to make this prosperous water route almost paralyzed.

There are some private docks on the riverside, and a group of profit-seeking people are entrenched here. Even when the control is implemented, they will try every means to transport goods to win money. Now there is no control on the riverside, and the result is that it is shut down.

.

"Sir Gabidanmo, how are the matter talking?" asked the bearded captain waiting here.

"Let's go back!" After Galenel got on the boat, he suddenly urged, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, although he didn't know where this uneasy came from.

Haojing, here is blue sea and blue sky, and the buildings here are full of exotic styles.

On that pier, boats of all sizes were moored, some sailing away, and some had just arrived. Several black men were loading and unloading goods at the pier, carrying bundles of raw silk onto the boat.

"This price is not a loss. My raw silk is the best in Guangzhou City and is the latest batch of new silk! As long as you sell it to Japan, you can win more than ten times the profit!" A smart young man seemed to be smart

Boasting.

"My new friend Joe, I hope what you said is true. This is the highest price I have paid!" A middle-aged man in a monk's outfit counted silver liang, and his face did not show too much

Much joy.

"You can go to Guangzhou City to inquire! I, Qiao Yifeng, are the most credible, you don't have to doubt this!" Qiao Yifeng did not blink, patted his chest and promised.

"This is money for you. May we cooperate for a long time and God will bless you!" The monk handed over the counted silver and blessed him in the name of God.

Licardo came to the New World as a sailor to take risks. After several twists and turns, he chose to stay here and live in peace and became a Catholic monk. Although he was committed to the promotion of Catholicism, it did not hinder it.

He became a businessman and made a fortune.

Like many of his compatriots, he purchased these excellent raw silk from the Ming merchants, and then used the ships of Lord Gabidanmo or other people to sell the raw silkworms to Japan.

Although this requires a considerable fee, the profits of the raw silk trade are extremely large, even twenty times. He believes that in not long, he will be able to make a lot of money and then bring the money back to Portugal to enjoy the aristocratic

Good days.

"Thank God!" Qiao Yifeng took the purse and gestured with his snow-white teeth.

"My new friend, I'm curious about what's going on?" After the money was cleared, Likado asked quietly. In his heart, even if the king died, it had nothing to do with him, but this road road was still on.

Once blocked, it will directly affect his profits and dreams.

Qiao Yifeng counted the silver and said indifferently: "Our emperor sent an official to Leizhou Prefecture to open the sea, but that place can't be compared with Guangzhou City, so he thought of blackmailing us here! I was just now

The blackmail who killed Thousand Swords had a lot of money!”

"His official position is greater, or Wang Bai's official position?" Licardo asked.

Qiao Yifeng had disdain on his face. He first pointed at his feet, then pointed to the direction of the church and said, "He is like an ant on the ground. Wang Gongshu is God. Who do you think they are the older?"

But his words were obviously playing the piano for the cow. Likado no longer circled and directly verified: "Can Wang Bai really control him?"

"Of course there is no problem with this! I just used some relationship with the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of the steward of

: "That's a greedy little official, he can't even rush for a few days! As long as the general Wang Buzheng is willing, a little finger is like poking him to death, making him roll back to Leizhou in shame!"

After the news of the Lotus Stem Settlement, the entire Macau Peninsula was extremely nervous.

It was only after some understanding that the worry slowly disappeared, because it was just a small official's act of making a proposition, not that the country was targeting them.

Now that he heard Qiao Yifeng say this, and as he had heard the news before, a little concern in his heart almost dissipated, and it seemed that he didn't have to wait for good news from Lord Gabi Danmo.

"God will punish this greedy man!" Licardo's plan to purchase raw silk was affected and was forced to buy these raw silk at a higher price. While letting go of his worries, he also cursed unhappily.

.

Qiao Yifeng's eyes turned towards the gathering area, and then pointed in a direction and said, "I heard that the wine here is very delicious. Is the pub there?"

"Yes, that's right there..."

Licardo looked in that direction and nodded with certainty, but suddenly, as if he was ignited, rushed over and grabbed a black man and cursed in Portuguese, saliva splashed on the black man's face.

"This Western monk is far worse than our monk!"

Qiao Yifeng glanced at the angry Likado, shook his head secretly, and then took his men toward the gathering area and went straight into a Western-style tavern.

On this land, especially in the tavern, there are not only Portuguese, but also Japanese ronin, Indian beards, and even compatriots from the Ming Dynasty.

Haojing does not exclude outsiders here. As long as they honestly pay taxes, they will welcome them. Even if you are a Japanese pirate, they will not exclude them. After all, they are actually robbers, and many people started their business by plundering.

The same is true. Many Japanese pirates and pirates are willing to stay here and enjoy a rare leisurely day. If there were no changes in the lotus stem, the races here would be more diverse and lively.

Qiao Yifeng chose a table to sit down and planned to taste this foreign wine. Anyway, he now has a lot of silver in his hand.

"Friend, are you here for the first time? Do you know the rules here?" Several tall Portuguese walked over, and the leader's eyes first fell on his wallet, and then looked at him greedily and said.

.

"Stay away from me!" Qiao Yifeng's face immediately became cold and he said to him.

The tall Portuguese was stunned and was about to get angry at Qiao Yifeng, but found that the other Ming people were not afraid, and the two sides immediately fell into a tense situation.

Qiao Yifeng's hand was already on the hilt of the knife, and there was no fear in his eyes, like a little leopard. From the small flag to the Baihu, he also walked over step by step.

Although Lin Junran is the backer, the main reason is that his military achievements are not allowed to be erased, rather than random promotion of him. Therefore, he is considered a hundred households baptized by blood, and this time he is even more bloody.

The subordinate.

Now facing these Portuguese people, even though the Portuguese is very strong, he doesn't take it seriously. He believes that if he fights with his life, the Portuguese will definitely not be his opponent.

"Antonio, if you dare to make trouble again, I will throw you out!" But at this moment, a bearded man in front of the bar threatened dissatisfiedly.

The grape man named Antonio glanced at the bar, then raised his fist to Qiao Yifeng and threatened: "Yellow Monkey, wait for me, you will see you well!"

Qiao Yifeng's face was even more gloomy. He watched the Portuguese leave and found that they were actually wandering at the door.

"You don't have to thank me! The lotus stem is sealed, making me have no business to do. You are fine with me, but you can't guarantee it when you go out!" The boss brought wine and said to himself.

road.

"Do you have a room here?" Qiao Yifeng asked suddenly.

The boss looked towards the door, then looked at him, showing a profiteering smile and said, "Five taels of silver per night!"

"Trade!" Qiao Yifeng agreed with pain.

In February morning, the wet air makes people shivering.

Haojing did not have a Portuguese garrison, it was just a transit station and trade location for their Portuguese merchants. However, with the arrival of missionary groups and for security reasons, their adventurers formed a self-defense force and built a mountain.

fort.

This fortress guards the parliament square and church at the foot of the mountain. It is in a very good location. The pier to the west is just under the nose and is within range. In addition, it can resist foreign enemies to the north.

But this fort is more of a decoration and has not played a real role. Due to the good relationship between the governor Wang Bai, they were not harassed at all, and the Japanese pirates at the sea came to drink and cause trouble at most, and it would not happen.

Large-scale conflict.

But just when the sky was bright, the grass at the foot of the mountain swayed for a while, and then figures of people rushed out.

"It's right there!" a thin boy pointed to a place and said quietly.

Qiao Yifeng spread out a map, looked up like a torch, and looked at somewhere on the fort. After comparing, he nodded gently, and then led his men to dive up carefully.

This time, he came to Haojing as a merchant, not to make money by trading. He was the captain of the vanguard team, and his goal was to capture Haojing's biggest murderous weapon.

Before he came to Haojing, he was also very nervous and even felt a sense of fear. After all, this was Folang Jiren's territory and he was not very clear about their strength.

But when he came here, everything was going on like a plan, his heart was filled with excitement.

People die for money, birds die for food!

Before this operation, Lin Qingran had already stated that this was a task that could be promoted to the position of Thousand Houses. As long as he could successfully complete the task of seizing the fort, he would become Thousand Houses.

"You can go up from here!" The boy came to the city wall and pointed to the easy-to-climb place.

There was no fear in his eyes, but a sense of excitement, because his father died at the hands of these Florence men. The same was true, and he willingly became the guide of these men.

"You can really climb up here!" A subordinate lowered his voice with some excitement.

From a distance, this fortress looked like a fortress. However, many grape people did not think that this product of idle organization could last forever in this land, which was not much better than the tofu project.

"Slow down!" Qiao Yifeng's ears moved and he immediately raised his hand to stop him.

But at this moment, there was movement coming from the above, which made everyone extremely nervous.

They gathered under the city wall, and as long as the man looked down, they would inevitably be exposed. Once exposed, they would be killed directly in such an isolated situation.

Wow...

Sure enough, a Portuguese appeared on the city wall. She untied her belt and whistled and peed downwards. Her body was shaking slightly, and she seemed to have drunk a lot of wine and looked like she was drunk on her face.

Antonio was a frustrated man. He was originally an adventurer and owned a ship that belonged to him. He was carrying the stolen goods back to Portugal, but he encountered a great storm, which made him become a pauper.

After being rescued by Galenell's fleet, he was brought back here. In order to make a living, he could only accept the position of a soldier. He usually earned some extra money by bullying these yellow-skinned monkeys.

This hard work of working as a vigil, drinking this bad wine made him feel very bad.

puff!

But at this moment, a silver arrow broke out into the air. Antonio, who was standing on the city wall peeing, covered his blood-swimming neck, and then fell down and rolled down to the bottom of the mountain like a stone.

On this very ordinary morning, under the careful planning of a gentle young man, the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to light up the butcher knife towards the barbaric Portuguese.
