"Isn't this a civilian fleet?" Borki asked. Unfortunately, even if his ancestors had close contact with the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible to write down and explain the various official positions of the Ming Dynasty to his descendants.
Well, this Jin Yiwei commander sounded very powerful, but Borji didn't take it seriously and just regarded him as an ordinary Ming Dynasty official.
"It's a private fleet, but it's Mr. Qian's private fleet and his partners!" Grisha emphasized the word "private fleet" a little more strongly. In this case, for those suspected of being regular soldiers,
No need for her to explain, Borki figured it out on his own. Lord Qian was using power for personal gain, and came with the Ming Empire's army to escort his merchant ships.
Well, I now understand the situation here. At least Mr. Qian did not deceive himself. This princess of the Roman Empire and his servants indeed have little to do with the Spanish. They may even be enemies.
Then, the situation outside needs to be dealt with immediately.
In the current situation, if Mr. Qian is invited to come to his palace, I am afraid that the other party will not agree to it. It seems that even if the troops withdraw, he still has to go by himself. Otherwise, what is in his heart
I'm afraid it's not easy to eliminate the resentment.
"Princess Grisha, you must have been frightened just now. However, now that the words have been spoken, I am afraid that there is still a confrontation at the port. Can you make your friends not so nervous?"
"This, haha!" Grisha covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty the King, you still don't understand what I said. I have already said that this fleet is Lord Qian Wubing's private fleet, and Lord Qian
It seems that I am a guest at His Majesty the King's place right now, but to leave such a real Buddha without inviting me, but to come to see me, seems a bit... putting the cart before the horse!"
The soldiers surrounding the Guest House gradually withdrew, but the people in the Guest House did not relax their vigilance and were still staring at the outside. At this time, whether it was Yan Jiu or Mu Siniang, they saw
At this opportunity, everyone urged Qian Wubing to leave here and return to the ship.
"When they surrounded us, we were not afraid. They all withdrew, and I returned to the boat in despair. Even if I could afford to lose this person, Daming could not afford to lose this person!" Qian Wubing Yizheng said.
He verbally rejected the suggestions of the two subordinates. There were stars in the eyes of these two men. Your Excellency is indeed an adult and always remembers the face of the imperial court. However, you may not have been able to get out before. If you can get out now,
If the other party changes his mind, it will be a huge loss!
"I want to see what the hell the Boni Kingdom is doing in such a tense situation. When the Prince of Chiang Mai comes back, I'll show him off first and then say I was frightened and disappear!"
Qian Wubing was full of momentum. This Boni country has become a fool, so of course he has to be tough. He is not only "scared" by today's incident, but also needs compensation! How can such a good thing be used to scare people?
Be happy!
It's a pity that he made up his mind to show off the prince. After saying this for half an hour, he took the initiative to come out of the house. There was no way, the prince was here, but he was accompanying the king.
Your Majesty is here. No matter how angry he is, he can't wait for the king to come into the house to see him. This is still his family's place. He has money for someone, and he is not the emperor of Boni.
Probably under Borki's instruction, after a brief exchange of greetings, Grisha chirped the whole story from beginning to end in Qian Wubing's ear. Then, Qian Wubing was a little confused.
He looked at her in disbelief: "You mean, you are the one who caused this incident today!"
"Yes, yes!" Grisha was not ashamed, but rather proud: "If it weren't for me, King Bolki would not know when to receive you. They don't even know what you, the commander of the Imperial Guard, are doing.
Oh no! Later I gave him a brief explanation, saying that the number of Jinyiwei soldiers under your command is only about 70,000 to 80,000, and King Borki will come over immediately!"
"How many?" Qian Wubing was stunned. He really hadn't understood carefully that in Beizhen Fusi, only officers of the Imperial Guard above the general banner were qualified to make rosters. He really didn't know that he had such a high number of subordinates.
many.
"Sir, including some helpers, the number of our Jinyi Guards has already exceeded 100,000!" Yan Jiu said in a low voice in front of his boss: "What Miss Grisha said is correct!"
These people were whispering here. Borki kept sitting there with a smile on his face and watching them, not impatient or impatient. However, the soldiers outside who were either carrying live ammunition or holding long knives made him look at them a few more times.
Eye.
The Prince of Chiang Mai beside him had a relatively good understanding of his brother's thoughts. When he saw Bolki's eyes looking at him, he shook his head slightly and unknownly: Bolki was asking these soldiers.
Compared with the soldiers of Boni, with so many muskets and swords, as well as the size of these soldiers, it is not his fault to belittle himself, the soldiers of Boni country really pale in comparison.
"Ahem, Mr. Qian, just now the people below made a false alarm. The defense force thought it was an enemy invasion, but it scared you!" Borji's attitude was so gentle that he didn't look like a king, but he looked a bit like the one next to Qian Wubing's old house.
The second uncle Wang walked through the streets: "Although this misunderstanding has been made clear with Princess Grisha's explanation, we still feel sorry for it. In the next three days, all transactions of your fleet will not be carried out by the kingdom."
Taxing more is just a small token of our appreciation!"
"Your Majesty the King, you are so polite. The enemy's invasion is of course a serious matter, so there is nothing wrong with handling it this way!" Qian Wubing turned his head and laughed: "What's the point of doing business if you don't pay taxes? Qian understands His Majesty the King's kindness."
Yes, but you still have to pay the tax. The days ahead will be long and it won’t be good if you break the rules!”
"How long will it take in the future?" Borki chuckled: "Master Qian means that he will visit me frequently in the future. I welcome this very much!"
This was Borki's first feeling that people looked down on such a small amount of money. Of course, Qian Wubing's words could also be interpreted as Qian Wubing's huge appetite: I was frightened, and such a small amount of compensation,
It's far from enough! However, Borki doesn't care. If it's not enough, add more. If the Ming Dynasty's fleet often travels to Boni, the benefits to Boni will not be the slightest bit. It's a stupid thing to lose the watermelon just to feel sorry for sesame.
How could His Majesty Bolki, who is so wise, do this!
Sure enough, Qian Wubing's next words revealed his true intentions.
"I'm thinking of letting the fleet travel to Boni frequently. However, His Majesty the King, you have also seen that our fleet not only has many and valuable goods, but also has a lot of people. Some goods can only be bought and sold for a month or two.
The sale may not be finished. During this period, it will be a little inconvenient for everyone to stay on the ship, don’t you think so, Your Majesty?"
"Then what do you mean, Mr. Qian?" Borki nodded and did not express his position.
"I just thought, if His Majesty the King could rent us a place, a covered house, a warehouse, etc., it would be much more convenient. Of course, we have to pay for it, so we don't live in vain!"
"Is it for the Ming Empire or Lord Qian?" Borki smiled slightly: "Or, in other words, for the fleet of the Roman Empire that Princess Grisha said is coming soon!"
Qian Wubing glared at Grisha fiercely. He didn't expect that this girl would actually speak to Borki first. That's not possible. The Ming Dynasty dominates this land. Grisha's little calculations,
They can only play within the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence. If Grisha wants to switch from away games to home games, it will conflict with Ming Dynasty's interests.
"It's for me and for the Ming Empire!" He turned around and replied: "As for Princess Grisha, I don't think she will need much space for the time being. When the time comes, if His Majesty the King still has room for Grisha,
Sha, I won’t object, otherwise, the place that Grisha needs will be divided from the land leased to me by His Majesty the King!"
"One hundred acres!" Borki thought for a while: "I can lease you one hundred acres of land. I don't care how you work on this one hundred acres of land. No matter how much you add, it will be gone!"
Qian Wubing nodded, "One hundred acres is one hundred acres, as long as you let go. With this beginning, are you still worried that there won't be another one hundred acres or two hundred acres?"
"However, I will deploy some force here to ensure the safety of our goods and personnel!" Qian Wubing pointed at the Jinyi captains patrolling outside, "It will not exceed the number of people here!"
Borji looked at Qian Wubing, as if he wanted to see Qian Wubing's true intention. Qian Wubing met his eyes without any fear, joking, this is a rented place, he must let go of people, old rules.
At least one hundred households with the income from a thousand overseas households should be put here. If you don't agree to this, I will spend enough money to rent a place here from you.
"You said there will be no more than the number of people here!"
Seeing Qian Wubing nodding his head without hesitation, he was relieved. It seemed that the people of the Ming Dynasty were really only worried about the safety of their goods. He didn't take these hundreds of people seriously. At the moment, he was in the Boni Kingdom.
There are twenty to thirty thousand troops directly loyal to him. If the Ming Dynasty really covets Boni, he can wipe out these hundreds of people in minutes. Even if their fleet is powerful, they can't get on board.
Go ashore!
"I agree to the conditions you proposed, but I also have a condition!"
Qian Wubing's request was agreed to, and the atmosphere in this scene became much more harmonious. Seeing Borki speak, Qian Wubing smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, please tell me!"
"Since it's a lease and you're paying me, it's certainly good. How much does it cost per year and how many years do you pay it? I don't care about this. You can talk to the people below!" Borki smiled slyly: "But, I
No money is required, you have to pay the rent with your Ming Dynasty’s firearms, whether it’s a musket or an artillery piece, it’s fine if there are craftsmen who can make these firearms, that would be even better!”
