Although Calenelle's trip to Guangzhou City achieved the desired results, it could not be said to be very pleasant.

Because he has realized the strategic significance of the lotus stem, once the government sets up a gate on the lotus stem, it will directly cut off the connection between the two. Once the waterways are also blocked, the Macao Peninsula will immediately become an isolated island.

The Macao Peninsula does not have large crops, nor does it have fat cattle and sheep, and all the living materials are extremely lacking. However, the adventurous merchants fell in love with the land, and the Portuguese alone had more than a thousand people, and many daily necessities had to depend on the mainland.

More importantly, once the lotus stem is set up at customs, then his plan to collect customs duties at Haojing Wharf will be completely bankrupt, and how can there be taxes without the circulation of goods?

However, he was slightly relieved that Wang Bai, the highest-ranking official in Guangdong, was a greedy fellow, and he was able to provide their king with the ambergris he needed.

It was a magical country where these officials could exchange everything in exchange for currying favor with their king.

The next morning, he went out of the city to the Pearl River, but saw that the river was not as prosperous as it used to be, and many wharves seemed empty, with few boats going down the river.

"What's going on?"

Galenelle's brow furrowed slightly, feeling that this matter was a little strange. It is very easy to set up a lotus stem to shut down the land route, but it is extremely difficult to make this prosperous waterway almost paralyzed.

The riverside is full of private docks, where a group of profit-seekers are entrenched. Even when the control was implemented, they would do everything possible to make money by transporting goods, but now there is no control on the riverside, and as a result, it is actually suspended.

"How's that going?" The bearded captain who was waiting here inquired.

"Let's go back!" When Galenel got on board, he suddenly urged, and felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, although he did not know where this uneasiness came from.

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

On that pier, there were boats of all sizes, some sailing away, others just coming in. Several black men were loading and unloading goods at the dock, carrying bales of raw silk to the ship.

"This price is not a loss, my raw silk is the best in Guangzhou City, it is the latest batch of new silk! If you sell it to Japan, you can make more than 10 times the profit! A shrewd-looking young man boasted to himself.

"My new friend Joe, I hope what you say is true, it's the highest price I've ever paid!" A middle-aged man in a monk's outfit counted the silver taels, and his face did not show much joy.

"You can go to Guangzhou City and ask! I, Qiao Yifeng, are the most reputable, you don't have to doubt this! Qiao Yifeng's eyes didn't blink, and he patted his chest and reassured.

"This is money for you, may we be able to cooperate for a long time, God will bless you!" The monk handed over the counted taels of silver and blessed them in the name of God.

Ricardo came to the New World as a sailor, and after several journeys, he chose to stay here and become a Catholic monk. Although he was committed to the promotion of Catholicism, it did not prevent him from becoming a merchant and making a fortune.

Like many of his compatriots, he bought these fine raw silks from the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and then sold them to Japan with the help of the ships of Lord Gabi Tanmar or the ships of others.

Although this requires a lot of money, the profits of the raw silk trade are enormous, even reaching twenty times. He believed that it would not be long before he would be able to make a lot of money, and then return to Portugal with it to enjoy a good life like an aristocracy.

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

"My new friend, I'm curious what that guan is all about?" After the money was cleared, Licardo inquired quietly. In his heart, even if the king dies, it has nothing to do with him, but once this land route is blocked, it will directly affect his income and dreams.

Qiao Yifeng counted the silver taels and said nonchalantly: "Our emperor sent an official to Leizhou Mansion to open the sea, but how can that place be compared to Guangzhou City, so he thought of coming here to blackmail us!" No, I was just blackmailed by the thousand-knife killer for a large sum! ”

"His official university, or Wang Bai's official university?" Licardo asked.

Qiao Yifeng's face was disdainful, first pointed to his feet, and then pointed to the direction of the church and said: "He is like an ant on the ground, Wang Bu's political envoy is God, who do you say is bigger?" ”

It's just that his words are obviously playing the piano to the cow, and Licardo no longer goes around in circles, and directly verifies: "Wang Bai can really control him? ”

"Naturally, there is no problem with this! I just took advantage of a little relationship with Wang Bu's political envoy and the housekeeper, and then made some silver taels, and I came over smoothly! Qiao Yifeng replied very affirmatively, and then flashed his little thumb and added indignantly: "That's a greedy little official, he can't hold on for a few days at all!" As long as Wang Bu is the political envoy of the adult, a little thumb is like poking him to death, let him roll back to Leizhou in a gloomy way! ”

After the news of the opening of the lotus stem, the entire Macau Peninsula was extremely nervous.

It was only after some understanding that the fears slowly dissipated, because it was only the presumptuous work of a petty official, not that the country was going to target them.

Now listening to Qiao Yifeng say this, following the news he heard earlier, the little worry in his heart almost dissipated, and it seems that he doesn't have to wait for the good news from Lord Gabi Danmo.

"God will punish this greedy man!" Ricardo's plans to purchase raw silk were affected, and he was forced to buy the raw silk at a higher price, cursing unhappily while letting go of his worries.

Qiao Yifeng's eyes rolled towards the gathering area, and then pointed in a direction and said, "I heard that your wine here is very delicious, is the tavern there?" ”

"Yes, right there......!"

Licardo glanced in that direction and nodded affirmatively, but suddenly, as if ignited, he rushed over and grabbed a black man and cursed in Portuguese with a splash of saliva on the black man's face.

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

Qiao Yifeng glanced at the angry Licardo, shook his head secretly, and then led his subordinates towards the gathering area, and went straight into a tavern with a Western style.

In this land, especially in the taverns, there are not only Portuguese, but also Japanese ronin, Indian beards, and even compatriots belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

Outsiders are not excluded here, as long as they pay taxes honestly, they will welcome them. Even if you are a widow, they will not reject it, after all, they are also robbers in essence, and many people started by plundering.

As such, many pirates and pirates are willing to stay here and enjoy a rare leisurely life. If it weren't for the change in the lotus stem, the people here would be more mixed, and it would be more lively.

Qiao Yifeng chose a table to sit down, intending to taste this exotic drink, anyway, he now has a lot of silver taels in his hand.

"Friend, your first time here, right? Do you know our rules here? Several tall Portuguese men approached, and one of them looked at him first on his purse, and then looked at him greedily.

"Stay away from me!" Qiao Yifeng's face immediately froze, and he glared at him and said.

The tall Portuguese was immediately stunned, and was about to get angry at Qiao Yifeng, but found that the other Ming people did not look 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 Xiaoqi to 100 households, he can be regarded as coming over step by step.

Although he has Lin Haoran as a backer, the main reason is that his military exploits are not erased, rather than promoting him indiscriminately, so he is a hundred households who have been baptized in blood, and this time he is the most bloody subordinate.

Now facing these Portuguese, even though these Portuguese are strong, he doesn't pay attention to them. He believed that if he fought for his life, this Portuguese was definitely not his opponent.

"Antonio, if you dare to make trouble again, I'll 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, and then raised his fist towards Qiao Yifeng and threatened: "Yellow monkey, you wait for me, there will be a good look for you!" ”

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

"You don't have to thank me! This lotus stem has been sealed, so I have no business to do, you are fine with me, but I dare not guarantee it when I go out! The boss brought the drink and talked to himself.

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

The boss looked in the direction of the door, then towards him again, and smiled like a profiteer: "Five taels of silver a night!" ”

"Deal!" Qiao Yifeng pretended to be painful and agreed.

On a February morning, the damp air makes you shiver.

There was no Portuguese garrison in Ho Kyo, it was just a transit point and trading point for their Portuguese merchants. It was only with the arrival of the missionary group, and for safety reasons, that the adventurers formed a self-defense force and built a fort on the mountain.

This fort guards the Sentain Square and the church below the hill and is in an excellent position, with the pier on the west side under the nose, which is also within range, and against the north side it is also able to defend against foreign enemies.

It's just that this fort is more of a decoration and has not played a real role. Because of the good relationship with Wang Bai, the political envoy, they were not harassed in any way, and the Japanese at sea would at most come to drink and make trouble, and there would be no large-scale conflicts.

But when the sky was cloudy, the grass under the mountain first shook, and then a series of figures appeared.

"Right there!" A skinny teenager whispered as he pointed somewhere.

Qiao Yifeng spread out a map, looked up like a torch, and looked at somewhere in the fort. After making a comparison, he nodded slightly, and then led his men to dive up carefully.

He came to Haojing this time disguised as a businessman, naturally not to make money through trading. He is the captain of the vanguard, and his goal is precisely this fort, to take the biggest murderous weapon of the mirror.

Before he came to Haojing, he was also very nervous, and even felt a kind of fear. After all, this is the territory of the Franc Machine, and their strength is not very clear.

It's just that when he came here, everything went according to plan, and his heart swelled with excitement.

People die for money, birds die for food!

Before this operation, Lin Haoran had already stated that this was a task that could directly promote the position of a thousand households. As long as he can successfully complete the task of capturing the fort this time, then he will become a thousand households.

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

There was no fear in his eyes, but a sense of excitement that his father had died at the hands of these Francos. In the same way, he willingly became a guide to these people.

"You can really climb up here!" One of his subordinates lowered his voice with some excitement.

From a distance, the fort looked like a fortress. It's just that this is the product of an idle organization after all, and many grape people don't think that they can stay in this land forever, and it is not much better than the tofu dregs project.

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

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

They were gathered under the walls, and if the man looked down, they would be exposed. Once exposed, in this isolated situation, it is likely to be killed directly.

Rushing......

Sure enough, a Portuguese appeared on the city wall, untied his trouser belt and whistled to pee downward, his body still shaking slightly, as if he had drunk a lot of wine, and his face looked drunk.

Antonio is a frustrated man who was originally an adventurous merchant with his own ships. He was returning to Portugal with the looted goods, but he was hit by a big storm, which made him a pauper.

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

The hard work of the vigil, and the drinking of this shoddy liquor, made him feel very bad.

Burst!

But at this moment, a silver arrow broke through the air, and Antonio, who was standing on the city wall to pee, covered his neck with blood flowing down, and then the whole person fell down, rolling down the mountain like a stone.

On this very ordinary morning, under the careful planning of a mild-mannered young man, Da Ming actually took the initiative to light the butcher's knife at the barbaric Portuguese.
