Chapter 244
After Shi Lang surrendered, Li Cunming didn't stop any longer, and immediately ordered to set off southward, heading for Guangdong.

Gong Yonggu led troops to guard Emperor Luanjia, and marched by land.Shi Lang and Huang Degong led the navy to advance by sea together, and Huang Degong allocated half of the warships to guard Jinmen Island.

Zhu Tiangui made great contributions to recruiting Shi Lang and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Fujian. He took over Gong Yonggu's management of Xiamen and directly commanded the fleet of Jinmen Island.

Before leaving, Li Cunming warned: "The Black Peony is still in the Penghu Islands, and we can't take her back for now. Zhu Aiqing, please pay more attention to it. If there is a chance, you must send the Black Peony to my side safely."

"I will keep it in mind!" Zhu Tiangui assured.

Li Cunming boarded the Luanjia, turned his head to look at the sea, and waved: "Let's go!"

Half a month later, Li Cunming arrived in Guangzhou.While Shi Lang and Huang Degong were stationed on Dahao Island, the Ming Dynasty Navy faced Haojingao across the Lingding Ocean.

Dahao Island belongs to Xin'an County, which was separated from Dongguan County, and the area under its jurisdiction includes the later Hong Kong.

Song Yingsheng, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, led the officials of all sizes in the city to greet him, kneeling beside the road respectfully.Song Yingsheng is Song Yingxing's elder brother. In history, after the Qing soldiers occupied Guangzhou Mansion, Song Yingsheng died for the country and was a loyal minister.

Li Cunming got off the car in a hurry, helped Song Yingsheng up, and said enthusiastically: "One of you brothers will manage the Guangzhou mansion for me, and the other will run the Foshan Iron and Steel Plant and the Cement Plant for me. Both of you are good ministers of mine!"

Song Yingsheng felt warm in his heart, and said: "Sharing your majesty's worries is the duty of a courtier, and your majesty is absurd."

Li Cunming asked: "Song Yingxing is in Foshan, do you two meet often?"

"Hey, that younger brother of mine is a workaholic. Since he came to Foshan, he has only written me a few letters, but he has never met me." Song Yingsheng said.

Li Cunming sighed with emotion for a long time, and said with a smile: "I will go to Foshan for inspection tomorrow, so you can go with me. My brother is close at hand, why not see each other? I will see Song Yingxing tomorrow, and I will criticize him for you."

Song Yingsheng also smiled, and after thanking the emperor for his kindness, arranged a welcome ceremony.

On the second day, Li Cunming took only dozens of entourages, accompanied by Song Yingsheng, and left the government office in an ordinary carriage, intending to take a trip to Foshan.

When the group of people was about to reach the city gate, suddenly the road in front of them was crowded, and there were people yelling and screaming, and there were mournful weeping.

"What's going on?" Li Cunming opened the curtain and asked.

Song Yingsheng said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, there are people arguing in the street, which attracted the people to watch. Your Majesty is not doing well in governance, and please forgive me! I will immediately disperse the people and clear the way for Your Majesty."

"Wait a minute! Why do I feel that something is wrong, let's take a look and talk."

Li Cunming got out of the carriage, stood upright in front of the carriage, and after just one glance, he knew what was wrong.

It turned out that among the quarreling people were two tall and burly foreigners, spitting ferociously and yelling.They spoke a foreign language, which Li Cunming could not understand.

A table was overturned on the ground, and the dishes and chopsticks were scattered all over the floor.An old man knelt on the ground begging for mercy, and behind him was a shivering young woman.The woman was dressed plainly, but she was quite pretty.

Gong Yonggu didn't wait for the emperor to issue an order, he sent someone to squeeze into the crowd to find out.It turned out that the two foreigners were Portuguese from Haojingao. They ate noodles at the noodle stall here. After seeing the noodle stall owner's daughter, they had evil thoughts in their hearts. Forcibly taken away.

The owner of the noodle stall stopped them, so they overturned the table, kicked the old man down, and blah blah blah.

People in Guangzhou can often see foreigners, and they often see these guys with red noses and blue eyes bullying others, dare not speak out.

After hearing Jin Yiwei's report, Li Cunming became furious and shouted, "Gong Yonggu, beat him up!"

Gong Yonggu had already suppressed his anger, and immediately waved his hands: "Li Daosan, teach these two red-haired ghosts a lesson!"

Li Daosan made meritorious deeds many times, this time the emperor went south and specially ordered him to formally enter Jinyiwei.Li Daosan touched his beard, rolled up his sleeves, spit into the palm of his hand and rushed out.

"Fighting, how can I be missing?" Silly Dazhu also jumped out.

The two pushed aside the crowd, rushed forward with three punches and two kicks, knocking down the red-haired devil.The red-haired devil rolled all over the ground, and the common people cheered loudly.

The red-haired devils fell to the ground, and the Jinyi guards didn't give them a chance to fight back, and another five or six people rushed forward, drew their knives and laid them across their necks.

Li Daosan turned his head to look at the emperor, only to hear the emperor say: "Look at me, just beat me up!"

The emperor's order was exactly what Li Daosan and Silly Dazhu wanted. They laughed grinningly, slapped and kicked again, and soon beat the red-haired ghost crying for his father and mother.

One of the red-haired ghosts took out a piece of paper from his pocket, held it up with all his might, and yelled.

A Jin Yiwei took the document, walked back and handed it to Song Yingsheng.Song Yingsheng glanced at it and shouted: "No, these two are artillery experts sent by Du Chen, Governor of Haojingao... Oh, how did I forget this?"

"An artillery expert?" Li Cunming asked.

"Your Majesty, my younger brother sent me a letter a few days ago, asking me to invite two artillery experts from Haojingao to Foshan, and I sent someone to bring the paperwork to see Du Chen. It's just that I am busy these days arranging to meet him. matter, I forgot about them."

Song Yingsheng said, hurriedly said: "Li Xiaowei, Shunhou, stop!"

Li Daosan and Silly Dazhu stopped beating, but they didn't want the two red-haired ghosts to get up, they probably guessed that Song Yingsheng was a man of dignity, they ran over and grabbed Song Yingsheng, roaring fiercely.

"Song Yingsheng, is there anyone in the city who understands Portuguese? Go and get someone to be an interpreter." Li Cunming got out of the carriage and stood in front of the two red-haired ghosts. "If you have anything to say to me, let go of Governor Song."

When the common people heard that Li Cunming called himself "Zhen", they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

But the red-haired ghosts couldn't understand Chinese, and because Li Cunming was traveling in low clothes today, they didn't take Li Cunming seriously, and they still pestered Song Yingsheng.

Li Cunming grabbed their arms and pulled them hard. The two of them somersaulted and fell to the ground, their arms were dislocated, and they started howling.

Song Yingsheng quickly sent someone to invite a missionary, and said, "Your Majesty, this is Les Lesi, a missionary. He understands Portuguese."

"Lilesi, I've heard of your name. Leaving aside the unnecessary words, you can negotiate with these two people for me first, and ask them what they want to say?"

Li Leisi showed a somewhat surprised expression, bowed to Li Cunming, and squatted down to chat with the two red-haired ghosts.

After a while, Li Leisi said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, they said that they would lodge a solemn representation with the government through the Governor of Haojingao. They are Portuguese. They were beaten, which seriously affected the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The Ming Dynasty must give a statement."

Li Cunming sneered, "What do they want to say?"

Li Leisi went to chat with the red-haired ghost again, and then said: "They said that the Portuguese enjoy judicial privileges in Haojingao. No matter what they did, the Ming Dynasty government must not interfere. The prefect of Guangzhou must personally apologize. Apologize and compensate them for their losses, so we are willing to let it go."

"Judicial privileges, let the fucking shit go! Foreigners from foreign countries come to our Ming Dynasty, they should abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they molested women from good families, beat the elderly, they can't escape the guilt, dare to make such crazy demands, hateful! "Gong Yonggu was furious.

Li Cunming said to Li Leisi: "Go and tell them that I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. I will give them an explanation. Are they willing to accept it?"

After Li Leisi passed the word, the two red-haired ghosts realized that the person in front of them was the Ming Emperor, and they were stunned.

Li Cunming looked at the people and asked, "How do you say these two people should be dealt with?"

How dare the common people speak up, Li Cunming said: "We have grown up in the homeland of China for generations, and suddenly a group of foreigners came and lived there with shameless faces. Any thoughts?"

As soon as this remark came out, the people shouted: "I wish I could kill them!"

"That's right. When friends come, they have good wine, and when robbers come, they have shotguns. This is the way of hospitality in my Ming Dynasty!" Li Cunming's face sank, and he raised his hand, "Come on, cut off their guns. Dog head!"

Li Daosan and Sha Dazhu immediately pulled out their knives and stabbed the two red-haired ghosts to death.Then he raised the knife and dropped their heads, and put them in his hand.

The common people cheered and kowtowed to Li Cunming, shouting long live.

"Ding, get 30000 people's positive emotion value"
