Wang Zhi gradually understood that he was a very smart person. As long as he had a little brain, he suddenly understood what Xu Qian meant after Xu Qian's slightest slightest robbery. He gave in a big profit first, and was crazy.
Give subsidies to let others taste the sweetness and become dependent on you. In the end, you will turn your back on others and make money back with the capital and profit.
Wang Zhi became more and more impressed by Xu Qian, and couldn't help but wonder. If Lord Xu was a pirate, he would be afraid that his achievements would not be inferior to him.
Outside, orders are still increasing one after another. At this time, merchants have already left the so-called banquet behind, and merchants are looking for business opportunities one by one.
After two consecutive days, the warehouse has already hung the plaque of Baibao Pavilion. From then on, it will become a commodity exhibition center, and there will be special staff of the comforting envoy department to take care of it. All the merchants passing by Shuangyu Port are
You can enter and exit here freely, and the Ming Dynasty workshops can also place various new goods here in the future.
Two days later, the order of Baibao Pavilion had increased to 12 million. With this big order, Xu Qian was satisfied and prepared to return to the flight.
With such a big order in hand, Xu Qian was almost certain that both Tianjin and Zhejiang would definitely cause an uproar.
After making a return trip the next day, Xu Qian fell asleep earlier that night, but in the middle of the night, he was woken up by Wang Zhi.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qian put his shoes on. A royal lieutenant had already come in and hung a horse lantern. Xu Qian looked at Wang Zhi who came in and bowed down and said slowly.
Wang Zhi said: "Sir, someone is asking for a visit outside."
Xu Qian said: "During the middle of the night, who wants to meet me? What's the matter? Can't you talk about it tomorrow?"
Wang Zhi said: "This matter is a bit troublesome, and the adults will know it when they see it."
Xu Qian frowned and said, "Where are the arrangements?"
Wang Zhi said: "It's already in the front hall."
Xu Qian had to change his clothes and walked into the hall. Here, a young man with a slightly dark skin was waiting for a long time. When he saw Xu Qian, he hurriedly fell to the ground and said in half-baked Chinese: "I've seen it."
Lord Shangguo…”
Xu Qian sat down and saw Xu Qian with a little displeasure. He was very obedient and poured a pair of tea himself. Xu Qian took it, held the warm tea cup in his hand, looked at the young man and said, "You
Who is it?"
The young man introduced himself: "The villain is Sucha, the second son of Suleiman, the king of Luzon. The lower country has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. He sent envoys to the Heavenly Kingdom to pay tribute several times and has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
Ten years ago, a group of Francisians landed in northern Luzon, claiming that they had encountered a shipwreck. They asked the country to allow them to rest and take care of them. They also bribed many treasures from the previous kings. When the previous king saw the hunt, they naturally followed suit. After that, they arrived one after another.
There are more and more Franchise people. In recent years, there have been tens of thousands. They have built many forts to enslave the people of the country. After my father became king, he has always planned to expel them several times, but they have been sent to the death.
After returning, these Franchise men began to unscrupulously occupy land, kill officials from the lower state, and even demanded that Luzon ced the northern islands and the territory of the northern Luzon Island. The father refused, but the Franchise men were in great power.
Luzon was desperate, and his father had no choice but to hear that the Ming Dynasty was suppressing pirates here, and his reputation was so great that he ordered Xiao Wang to come and ask the Heavenly Kingdom to send troops to rescue Luzon in the fire and water............ "
It turns out... I'm here to petition...
Xu Qian was speechless. It was midnight. Seeing this guy in such a down-and-out manner, I was afraid he had suffered a lot. Yes, there are many Franchise merchants in this Shuangyu Port. Of course, many of these merchants are like Franchise.
The Governor of Luzon has many involvements. This is called Sucha's adventure. Once he discovers it, he may be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Luzon has not been completely embezzled, but according to the nature of the Franji people, the best trick is to first say that a shipwreck occurred, and request the opening of land for temporary residence, and then bribe the jewelry. After obtaining permission,
Don't plan to leave, call your friends immediately, attract all the army and priests, and then start playing rogues. If you drive him away, he will beat you up once he feels that his strength here has enough power to guarantee.
Your mother doesn't know you, and then she just grabs land, grabs money and women. When it's almost done, she kicks you away, takes it as a colony, and rules directly.
This model is common, and the ridiculous thing is that it has been tried and done every time. Just like Macau in the Ming Dynasty, it is roughly the same routine. Unfortunately, the Ming Empire is too huge, and these people are not stupid enough to play hard with the Ming Dynasty.
But...Is this prince crazy?
Luzon is not a more important vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. It is neither Annan nor North Korea. Who has nothing to do to stand up for you?
Xu Qian was not very interested in dealing with Luzon's affairs. Even if he had to, it would not be the case now. He smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? I didn't expect that Franji people were so cunning. Very good. This matter was
The official will definitely submit a memorial to the court on his behalf. Your Highness comes from afar, so you might as well wait for news here.”!
This is Tai Chi in the officialdom, but when Su Cha heard Xu Qian look serious, he said he must submit the court. He thought that this matter had a good look and immediately showed great joy. He hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord,
.”
Xu Qian called Wang Zhilai and said, "Go and arrange it, and make sure that he lives here. Choose a few Japanese women for him. After all, he is a prince and can't ruin others."
Wang Zhi nodded and led the prince away.
When he came back, he found Xu Qian still sitting in the hall. Wang Zhi said, "What do you think, sir?"
Xu Qianzhong stretched and said, "Let the news be released so that those Franchise people know about this. Also, Su Cha wants to ensure his safety, Franchise people really should hit him.
Wang Zhi understood and nodded.
The next morning, Xu Qian arrived at the port surrounded by a lieutenant and was about to board the ship. He had just sat firmly in the cabin. Before the ship had set off, a lieutenant came to report: "Sir, there is a self-proclaimed Deng.
The Franchise merchants from Da asked for a visit.”
Xu Qian pursed his lips. He didn't sleep well last night. Today, he was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't see him, let him go wherever he came from, yes, and you can tell him what he wants,
The official knows that the official attaches great importance to this matter. I think my Ming court will also pay great attention to it. If you want to talk about it, he is not qualified."
Several large ships had already raised their sails and slowly left the port.
Standing on the pier, the Spanish nobleman #Zanda watched the big ship go further and further, and his eyes became sharper.
The white-haired old man behind him whispered: "What does this governor mean? I heard that he is very popular with the Ming Emperor. Can his words represent the intentions of the Ming Emperor? Your Excellency, what should we do next?"
#Zada said slowly: "Send someone to send a letter to the Governor immediately and ask him to send a messenger to meet His Highness the King."
The old man hesitated for a moment: "Are we too nervous? Our fleet is not afraid of the Ming navy?"
#Zalda said slowly: "If they want to interfere, once they express their willingness to be hostile to us, the consequences will be disastrous. The Ming Dynasty has great prestige among the countries in the Far East, even if they do not send a soldier.
As long as they express a tough stance, the struggles in various places will continue to increase. Moreover, I have a premonition that the Ming Dynasty has realized the urgency of establishing a fleet. I heard that their sea and land comfort commander was building a new ship in a crazy manner.
Don't underestimate the ship, send a messenger immediately."
The old man hesitated for a moment and nodded.
#Zada seemed to have thought of something and said, "Also, please send some gold and silver to you. Portugal, the Netherlands, the Ottomans have ordered many Ming muskets. I have verified that the quality of these muskets is excellent.
The price is low, not worse than the muskets assembled in the Kingdom Legion. The accuracy of the muskets meets the standards of the legion, but the price is much cheaper than our muskets, so we must customize more."
The old man said: "I think this is the conspiracy of the governor. Your Excellency, if the kingdom purchases the weapons of the Ming Dynasty on a large scale, then the Spanish factories and blacksmiths are afraid..."
#Zalda touched a small thick beard under his lips and sighed: "Even if it is a conspiracy, we must do this. The kingdom cannot sit idly by and watch out for the damn Portuguese gaining an advantage, and also needs to be on guard against the Dutch armed merchant ships at any time.
The Ottomans, who repeatedly provoked the kingdom in Egypt, would be in a very dangerous situation if the kingdom could not gain the necessary advantage over the former. If they only needed ten thousand gold coins to support a legion, but we would have to spend more, so as to continue
, The Kingdom will be dragged down sooner or later, do you understand what I mean? If they buy the artillery and muskets of the Ming Dynasty, and we still rely on the broken copper and iron trained by the expensive craftsmen in China, then the Kingdom will strive to maintain it
The balance and balance will be completely lost. The Portuguese are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, and the Ottomans are also ambitious. If we sit and watch such things happen, once we lose our advantage, the consequences will be disastrous. So... my duty reminds me
This must be done, and you have someone to tell the Governor to the Governor that things are no longer allowed to be decided, especially the Ottomans, whose danger has risen to an intolerable situation, and they have ordered dozens of warships from the Ming Dynasty.
,They are incredible wealth and are ready to order more at any time, and our maritime advantage may disappear at any time, and they also ordered artillery and muskets. I have every reason to believe that within five years, the Ottomans can catch up and play.
They have sufficient manpower to threaten the kingdom. Don’t forget that the kingdom has fallen into the hands of these damn pagans and must not repeat the same mistakes.”
