"That's what happened!" Olivia looked a little tired and said to Qian Wubing.
There was no expression on Qian Wubing's face. Olivia had worked hard last night. At this moment, the number of casualties was also counted. This was really not something he was happy about.
"Are you sure there aren't spies sneaking in to cause trouble?
"It's 90% sure it's not!" Olivia shook her head: "The cause has been roughly revealed through cross-examination. It was the detective from the Inspection Department who suspected a certain person and handled the matter too hastily, which caused the trouble!"
"Where's the spy?
"Dead!" Olivia replied, but the initial situation was still revealed during cross-examination, and the person involved testified! "
"The problem is not that simple!" Qian Wubing sighed, leaving the details to Olivia. He will not interfere too much. No matter how many people are killed or injured, as long as there are no real spies sneaking into the city,
That was not a real threat. What troubled him was the problems exposed in this incident, which were too big for a refugee city where Ming people did not account for the majority.
Even in later generations, in an immigrant city where residents come from various sources, this problem of discrimination is also a problem that no ruler dares to ignore. In Tamsui, such a problem is far more serious than in later generations. A small misunderstanding can lead to
It would cause riots with dozens of casualties. This was in peacetime. If such a thing happened in wartime, the consequences could be imagined.
This issue is not only about stability and development, but also about life and death.
"What do you think of this?" Qian Wubing rubbed his swollen temples and asked the woman in front of him: "I treat everyone in this city the same way. You know this.
of!"
"I think you have indulged these people too much!" Olivia hesitated: "It's time to clean up the idle people in the city. We really have to face the enemy. These people are all factors of instability.
!”
"I remember you were also a mercenary!" Qian Wubing looked at the woman he had been having an affair with before and shook his head slightly: "These people are our fighting force, I don't want to push them too hard!
"
"Mercenaries are all selfish. Even I haven't changed now. It's just that before, I only thought about myself, but now, I think more about our city!" Olivia
Meeting his eyes, he said calmly: "Sir, if you have never been a mercenary, of course you will not know that Tamsui is the best choice for us mercenaries gathered from all directions in this far east. The attraction here
, adults enough to let go and do whatever they want without worrying about forcing them away!"
"What are you going to do with these people?" Qian Wubing didn't care and changed the subject.
"Those who participated in this riot without knowing their circumstances, who did not kill but only injured others, were subjected to hard labor ranging from three months to one year. Those who had lives on their hands were incorporated into death squads. They survived three battles and regained their status as free citizens. As for joining in the fun,
Yes, fine!"
"Is anyone dissatisfied?"
Olivia smiled proudly, with a smile that showed she had everything under control, which made Qian Wuyou feel dizzy.
…
After raging for half a month, the storm finally stopped, and the whole city woke up again under the clear sky. After the storm, there were many things to do, although the humans in the city were struggling on the eve of the storm.
, they have done everything they can, but under the power of nature, some unexpected losses will always occur.
In the afternoon when they were sure that the storm had stopped, instead of just taking a short break, a dozen merchant ships that had been huddled in this haven also raised their sails after those mighty and huge warships sailed out of the port. Grisa
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the merchant ships that had been carrying goods all morning were taken out of the port and towards the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.
Several merchant ships that had not been requisitioned also took this opportunity to sail towards the other side of the strait. The spies from the overseas Qianhu Station were also mixed in with the people who were eager to leave here. They were worried about this place that had been besieged by the storm for half a month.
city to find more information.
At the same time, in the port of Malacca, St. Angel's fleet was carrying out final supplies. It had been five days since the storm left here. Compared to the fresh water they didn't know, they were a storm.
The first place I visited.
The goal of the fleet is Siam. This is an order known to the captain of every warship. The goal of the expedition fleet is not just one city or one place. What they want is the entire east, where every fleet of the Ming Empire may be hiding.
Their strongholds, ports, their colonies, and trade wars are all targets of the expedition fleet. They will be like a sharp plow, firm and slow, on this map of the east, clearing every piece of land.
Plow it once.
Luzon, Pani, Siam, Chenla, Champa, Dai Viet, Ming Dynasty, Fusang, and Korea. In front of the expedition fleet, these are all their opponents. As long as they are opponents, they need to be eliminated. The difference between them is nothing more than
It's just how much energy and price the fleet has to pay when it's destroyed.
And now, they have occupied the gateway to the east and closed the door tightly. What they have to do is to calmly and orderly conquer all the people in this huge land who are unwilling to surrender to them.
Conquer one by one.
The fleet's visit to Malacca undoubtedly gave the Spaniards who stayed in the colony in Malacca a shot in the arm, which they had been struggling to support. The two remaining warships were a guarantee of their powerful force. With the warships
With the support and soldiers of the colonial point, they can firmly hold the most prosperous port in the entire fragmented country in their hands, turning this place into a Spanish colony step by step.
In Beijing, a decree that had been negotiated for a long time between the emperor and the cabinet was issued when the world was not paying attention.
The Ministry of War has also sent out official documents to the navies in various places. Soon, all the navies under the Ming Dynasty will receive such an official document. Among them, some skilled, loyal, brave and reliable generals and soldiers will gather towards Tianjin.
, where they are about to receive their new warships and are practicing new tactics. If they work harder, maybe a new navy can form an army within half a year.
The Ministry of Household Affairs also allocated a staggering amount of money to the Ministry of War. Although the first batch of usable money was not very large, the total amount was enough for the officials of the Ministry of Works to sleep from ear to ear at night.
Come on, with so much money passing through the yamen, even the most honest official will not lose a benefit, and these benefits will be through the respect of Tan Jing, Bing Jing and even other yamen people, etc.
