Chapter 768: Chen Jing's Means
Ha ha……
Priest Ferdinand laughed heartily when he saw everyone's reactions.
With that boy's arrogance and Blanche's arrogance, he must give them a big surprise this time. As long as the planning is right, this place will definitely be in his hands.
Others also smiled knowingly, knowing that if they choose to attack at this moment, they will definitely be able to successfully regain control of Haojing. When a gang is established by then, they will gain countless profits.
Bang!
But at this moment, the door was kicked open hard, causing them to wake up from their sweet dream.
The laughter of Ferdinand and others stopped suddenly, and a bad premonition could not help but surge into his heart. He turned his head to look at the door with difficulty, and his face immediately turned pale.
Chen Jing, deputy director of the Guangdong Municipal Bureau of Shipping, walked in with a sullen face. His sinister eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and finally landed on the priest Ferdinand, who remained silent.
When they saw Chen Jing coming in, some Portuguese people were so scared that they peed their pants.
Here in Haojing, the Pu people do not have any privileges at all, and those who dare to violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty will be severely punished. Now that their "rebellion" is exposed, they will naturally not get any good results.
this……
Priest Ferdinand watched Chen Jing come in, especially when Chen Jing's eyes stared at him like poisonous snakes. He felt as if he had fallen from heaven to hell, and he immediately fell down on the chair.
"Take everything away!"
Chen Jing waved his hand, and the Yamen officials and the flag troops of Xiangshan Institute rushed in to take away the people.
They had already paid attention to this group of "rebels". It was just out of many considerations that they turned a blind eye. But now that they are facing foreign aggression, they naturally have to eradicate this cancer.
Fortunately, Ferdinand has always been complacent, but in fact, his every move has already been grasped by the intelligence system of the Guangdong Municipal Bureau of Shipping.
Hundreds of people gathered in the Forum Square, including many Portuguese.
Chen Jing, who was wearing a sixth-grade official uniform, stood in front of all the Portuguese people and invited Gaspar da Cruz and other missionaries out of the church. His eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and then he said loudly:
"My master treats you very well, allowing you missionaries to preach here, and allows you businessmen to do business here, and even provides you with help, but..."
When the conversation changed, Chen Jing pointed at Priest Ferdinand and others who were being escorted to kneel on the ground and angrily shouted: "But these people are white-eyed wolves. They actually plan to take advantage of the danger outside Haojing to gather together and plot a conspiracy here.
How can I tolerate them?"
"Sir, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me!"
Ferdinand, a short and fat man, had lost his pride and immediately begged for mercy. The reason why he chose to "rebellion" was not that he was a bloody man, but simply out of jealousy, jealousy of Lin Haoran's power and jealousy of Blanche's treatment of Lin Haoran.
Good impression.
Why!
Gaspar da Cruz and others also sighed deeply when they saw this scene.
Although these officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty "used their power to bully others," it is not to blame that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were like this. They had always been "not too kind" to them, but now when faced with the Japanese invasion, Ferdinand and his gang actually wanted to plot the territory here.
Many Portuguese people have already learned some of the truth. Now that they see what happened to Ferdinand and others, they will naturally not stand up to fight against injustice. They are more like "Why did it have to be like this in the first place".
"cut!"
Facing Ferdinand's begging for mercy, Chen Jing had no intention of showing mercy and immediately issued an order in a deep voice.
don't want……
Ferdinand and the others felt extremely remorseful, and tears immediately welled up in their eyes. They wished that everything could be repeated, even if they had to become slaves of this empire, but they only wanted to live.
It's just a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.
Phew! Phew!
The blade flashed past, and more than ten heads were chopped off.
Many Fo Langji people were shocked when they saw this scene. Seeing the blood splattering and heads rolling down, they realized that Ming Dynasty was a fierce lion and a behemoth that did not allow them to provoke them.
Chen Jing coughed lightly, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with him, and said to the Fo Langji people in front of him: "My lord is very happy to be friends with you, but the premise is that you can't plot here, and you can't become the Ming Dynasty."
enemies."
Gaspar and others breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently, the Ming officers and soldiers were not angry with them because of Ferdinand's incident, but someone took the initiative and said that they would definitely not plot this.
In fact, they really don't have this ambition.
Missionaries such as Gaspar hoped to maintain the status quo and be able to preach here with peace of mind. Although ordinary Portuguese businessmen had to pay a higher proportion of tariffs, they monopolized the "Haojing-Japan" route, allowing them to reap huge profits.
Chen Jing saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, but he threw out a bait and said: "As long as you can participate in this war to defend Haojing and behead the enemy! My lord promises to give you a medal."
Get a permanent residence permit in Xiangshan New City and enjoy half the tariff!”
After hearing about the offer of halved tariffs, many Portuguese people were immediately tempted.
Now that Haojing is completely in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the right to tax tariffs is also firmly in their hands. If they can obtain half of the tariffs, it will save them personally a considerable amount of money, which is undoubtedly
Worth the risk.
"Is this true? Can he really make the decision?" a Portuguese asked.
Chen Jing's face turned cold and he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could it be possible that what my master said is not accurate?"
"Okay! I did it!"
"I did it too!"
"We did it too!"
…
Since ancient times, people have been reluctant to get up early if there is no profit. This huge benefit is in front of them. The Portuguese who were able to cross the ocean undoubtedly have an adventurous spirit, but they all expressed their willingness to participate in the war.
Especially for the so-called Japanese pirates, they did not have too much fear, but had a strong psychological advantage. If the Japanese were not equipped with guns now, when they arrived in the Japanese country, all of them would have been a target.
Jiang Zhonghua, the teacher of Xiangshan County, happened to be in Xiangshan, but he lowered his voice and said to Chen Jing next to him: "Deputy Chen, is this really feasible?"
In fact, this was not what Lin Haoran meant, but Chen Jing was "falsely passing on the imperial edict" and using Lin Haoran's name to deceive everyone.
"Extraordinary means are used in extraordinary times!" Chen Jing replied calmly, and then explained: "Our main responsibility is to protect this place, and we must not let Ming Kaihai be severely damaged! I want to use your mind and view of the situation, and definitely
You will understand me and support me in doing this!"
Jiang Zhonghua thought for a while, although Chen Jing "killed first and then reported", his words were indeed correct. With the magistrate's mind and view of the situation, he would indeed support Chen Jing's approach. It is no wonder that the magistrate valued Chen Jing so much.
