Chapter 354: Yang Mou
Dumping......
Wang Zhi gradually understood, he is an extremely smart person, as long as he turned his brain slightly, after Xu Qian's little dial, he suddenly understood what Xu Qian meant, the so-called dumping is a relatively high-end robbery, first make a large profit, give subsidies crazily, let others taste the sweetness, become dependent on you, and finally turn their faces and deny people, and earn back with profits.
Wang Zhi admired Xu Qian more and more, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if this Lord Xu was a pirate, he was afraid that his achievements would not be under him.
Outside, orders are still increasing, and at this time, the businessmen have long forgotten the so-called banquet, and they are looking for business opportunities.
In the past two consecutive days, the warehouse has been hung with the plaque of Baibao Pavilion, since then, this will become a commodity exhibition center, there will be a special pacification envoy staff to take care of here, in Shuangyu Port past businessmen, can come and go freely here, and Daming's workshop, in the future, can also be a variety of new goods entrusted here.
Two days later, Baibaoge's order had increased to 12 million, and with this large order, Xu Qian was ready to return with satisfaction.
With such a large order in his hand, Xu Qian is almost certain that whether it is Tianjin or Zhejiang, it will definitely cause an uproar.
set to return the next day, Xu Qian fell asleep earlier this night, but in the middle of the night, he was woken up by Wang Zhi.
"What's going on?" Xu Qian put on his shoes, and the royal lieutenant had already come in to hang the horse lantern, Xu Qian looked at Wang Zhi who came in and bowed down, and said slowly.
Wang Zhi said: "My lord, there are people outside asking to see you." ”
Xu Qian said: "In the middle of the night, who wants to see this official." Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow? ”
Wang Zhidao: "This matter ...... It's a bit of a hassle, but adults will know when they see it. ”
Xu Qian frowned and said, "Where are the people?" ”
Wang Zhidao: "It's already in the front hall." ”
Xu Qian had to change his clothes. Pacing to the hall, and here, a young man with slightly dark skin waited for a long time, and saw Xu Qian. Hurriedly bowed to the ground and said in half-baked Chinese: "I've seen Lord Shangguo......"
Xu Qian sat down, Wang Zhi saw that Xu Qian was a little displeased, and he poured a pair of tea very obediently, Xu Qian took it, held the warm tea cup in his hand, looked at the young man and said, "Who are you?" ”
The young man introduced himself: "The villain is Sucha, the second son of Suleiman, the king of Luzon, who has always been a vassal to the Ming Dynasty and has sent envoys to the Celestial Empire several times to pay tribute. It has always been a vassal country of the Ming Dynasty. But decades ago. However, a group of Francos landed in northern Luzon, claiming to have been shipwrecked, and asked for permission to rest and recuperate. And bribed the first king with many treasures, and the first king was happy to see the hunt. Naturally, there are more and more Francois people who have arrived one after another, and in recent years, it is tens of thousands, they have built many fortresses, enslaved the people of the lower country, after my father was king, he has been planning to expel them, several times sent troops, all of them have returned, since then, these Francos began to unscrupulously occupy the land, kill the officials of the lower country, and even ask Luzon to cede the northern islands and the northern territory of Luzon, the father refused, but the Francos were powerful, and Luzon was cornered, and had no choice but to go, When my father heard that the Ming Dynasty had exterminated the pirates here, his prestige was great, so he ordered the little king to come and ask the Celestial Empire to send troops to rescue Luzon from fire and water......"
Originally...... It's the petitioner......
Xu Qian was very speechless, in the middle of the night, seeing this guy so down-and-out, I am afraid that he has not suffered less, yes, there are many Francois merchants in Shuangyu Port, among these businessmen, naturally many of them are involved with the Governor of Franco-Luzon, this is called Su Cha's adventure, once he finds out, he is afraid that he will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Now Luzon has not been completely embezzled, but according to the urine nature of the Francophiles, the best trick is to first say that there was a shipwreck, ask for land to live temporarily, and then bribe with jewelry, after getting permission, he does not plan to leave, immediately call friends, recruit the army and priests, and then start to play scoundrels, if you drive him, once he feels that his power here has enough strength to guarantee, he will beat you to your mother who doesn't know you, and then it is to enclose the land to grab money and rob women, and wait until it is almost over, and then kick you away, make it a colony, and rule directly.
This model is not uncommon, and the most ridiculous thing is that it has been tried and tested, just like the Macau of the Ming Dynasty, which is roughly the same routine, but unfortunately the Ming Empire is too large, and these people are not stupid enough to play hard with the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that...... Is there something wrong with this prince's brain.
Luzon is not a more important vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, neither Annam nor North Korea, who is idle and has nothing to do for you?
Xu Qian didn't have much interest in taking care of this Luzon matter, even if he wanted to take care of it, naturally it wouldn't be now, he smiled faintly and said, "Really? I didn't expect that the Francois was so cunning, very good, this matter will definitely be played by the court, His Royal Highness the prince is far away, you might as well wait for news here. ”
This is Tai Chi in officialdom, but this Su Cha heard Xu Qian's serious look, and said that he must go to the court, thinking that this matter had eyebrows, he immediately showed great joy, and hurriedly thanked: "Lord Xie." ”
Xu Qian called Wang Zhilai and said, "Go and arrange it, to ensure his safety, let him live here, and pick a few Japanese women for him, he is a prince at all, and he can't be cold." ”
Wang Zhi nodded and led the prince away.
When he came back, he found that Xu Qian was still sitting in the hall, and Wang Zhi said, "What do you think?" ”
Xu Qian stretched his waist and said, "Let the news out, let those Francophone people know about it, and also, if this Su Cha wants to ensure his safety, it is indeed time for the Francosis to knock it." ”
Wang Zhi understood and nodded.
Early the next morning, Xu Qian arrived at the port under the support of a lieutenant, ready to board the ship, and just sat firmly in the cabin. ”
Xu Qian pursed his lips, he didn't sleep well last night, and he couldn't keep up his spirits today, and said: "No, let him get out of where he came from, yes, also, you go to sue him, his intention, the official knows, this matter is very important to this matter, and I want to come to my Ming court will also attach great importance to it, I want to talk, he is not qualified enough." ”
Several large ships have already hoisted their sails and are slowly leaving the port.
Standing on the trestle, the blue eyes of the Spanish nobleman Deng Da watched the big ship go farther and farther, and his gaze became sharp.
The white-haired old man behind him said in a low voice: "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? ”
Deng Da said slowly: "Send someone to deliver a letter to the governor immediately, and ask him to send a messenger to meet His Royal Highness." ”
The old man hesitated for a moment: "Are we too nervous, our fleet is not afraid of the Ming sailors?" ”
Deng Da said slowly: "If they want to interfere, once they show their willingness to be hostile to us, the consequences will be disastrous, the Ming has great prestige among the countries of the Far East, even if they don't send a single soldier, as long as they express a tough position, then the protests in various places will continue to increase, and, I have a hunch, the Ming has realized the urgency of building a fleet, I heard that their sea and land pacification envoys, in the crazy new ships, not to be underestimated, immediately send messengers." ”
The old man hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Deng Da seemed to think of something, and said: "Also, please send some more gold and silver to Your Excellency, the Portuguese, Dutch, and Ottomans have ordered a lot of Ming muskets, I have verified that the quality of these muskets is high and cheap, not worse than the muskets assembled in the Wang** regiment, the accuracy of the muskets meets the standards of the legion, and the price is far 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 weapons from the Ming Dynasty on a large scale, then the Spanish factories and blacksmiths are only afraid of ......."
Dunda touched a small bushy beard under his lips and sighed: "Even if it is a conspiracy, we must do it, the kingdom cannot sit idly by and watch the damned Portuguese gain the upper hand, and it also needs to be on guard at all times against the armed merchant ships of the Netherlands, as well as the Ottomans, who have repeatedly provoked the kingdom in Egypt, and if the kingdom cannot take the necessary advantage over the former, it will be in a very dangerous situation." If they only need 10,000 gold to feed a legion, and we have to spend more, if this continues, the kingdom will be dragged down sooner or later, you know what I mean? If they buy the Ming artillery and guns in a big way, and we still rely on the broken copper and iron of the expensive craftsmen in the country, then the balance and balance of power that the kingdom has worked so hard to maintain will be completely lost, and the Portuguese will become more and more difficult to deal with, and the Ottomans are also ambitious, and if we sit back and watch this happen, the consequences of losing the advantage will be catastrophic. So...... It is my duty to remind me that I must do this, and you have my words conveyed to His Excellency the Governor, that the matter is no longer up to us, especially the Ottomans, whose danger has risen to an intolerable level, who have ordered dozens of warships from the Ming Dynasty, who are incredibly wealthy, and who are ready to order more, whose superiority at sea, may be wiped out at any moment, and who have also ordered artillery, who have ordered muskets, and I have every reason to believe that in five years, the Ottomans will be able to catch up, And use their sufficient manpower to threaten the kingdom, and do not forget that the kingdom has fallen to this damned group of infidels, and must not repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
