Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

boom!

Before Li Ruolian finished speaking, he felt a huge force kicking him, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

"Forgive Your Majesty! Forgive Your Majesty!"

Li Ruolian hurriedly got up, succumbed to the ground again, and kept begging for mercy.

"Tell me, in the capital, under my nose, you can do such a thing, what do you Jinyiwei do for food, and what are you allocating so much money every year for?"

Li Xiu was full of anger, and asked murderously.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I guarantee that within seven days, we will definitely find out who is behind the scenes!"

"At this time, there are only a few types of people who dare to contact Shou Wang, just keep an eye on Shou Wang's mansion."

At this moment, Li Xiu's anger seemed to have weakened a lot, and he ordered in a deep voice: "The Longevity Mountain also sent people to watch over it, Queen Mother Zhou, Queen Mother Zhang..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiu seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "How is the pursuit of the remnants of the East Factory? Will there be any remnants of the East Factory involved this time?"

When this question came out, Li Ruolian's face became even more bitter. Dongfang Factory has a great business, and it is not weaker than Jinyiwei at all. In some respects, it is even stronger than Jinyiwei.

Now even though he has become a bereaved dog, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. He is also a spy intelligence organization, and the people from Dongchang know the way of Jinyiwei very well.

Under such circumstances, even with the list that Cao Huachun handed over to guide the search for the remnants of Dongchang, it is impossible to eradicate them in a short time.

stomping on...

Just when Li Ruolian was struggling, the sudden sound of footsteps pulled him out of the panic and helplessness.

Li Xiu glanced at Li Ruolian who came in a hurry, saw Li Ruolian kneeling on the ground, and stopped at Honglu Temple Minister Shi Bangyao in the distance, frowned, and then waved his hand to Li Ruolian: "I don't want this kind of thing to happen again." See!"

Hearing this, Li Ruolian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately expressed his determination before leaving respectfully.

At this time, Shi Bangyao, the Minister of Honglu Temple who stopped not far away, came respectfully.

"Sir, see Your Majesty."

"Ai Qing doesn't need to be polite."

Li Xiu waved his hand, glanced at Li Ruolian who was leaving, and while frowning slightly, he asked casually: "What's the matter, Aiqing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Xiyi Netherlands sent envoys to visit, saying that they want to pay a visit to Your Majesty..."

"Western Netherlands?"

Li Xiu frowned, and then asked: "Is that the person who tried to get involved in Penghu, but was repelled by the Fujian navy, and now the Netherlands is entrenched in Taiwan?"

"Correct."

Shi Bangyao said: "My minister is also quite curious about their purpose of coming. After making side-effects, I found that they seem to be here to form an alliance with me, Daheng."

"alliance?"

Li Xiu frowned: "The group of Xiyi entrenched Taiwan, and Zheng Zhilong also entrenched Taiwan. They want to ally with our Daheng, I'm afraid they have ulterior motives!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiu's expression suddenly turned cold: "If you are not of my race, you must have a different heart. Please inquire and make arrangements. Tomorrow morning, we will arrange for the envoys from the Netherlands to meet with us."

"Wei Chen understands."

After responding, Shi Bangyao hesitated for a while, but obviously he didn't dare to say something.

"how?"

Li Xiu frowned.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Macau that those Francines, taking advantage of the Guangdong rebellion, have become dishonest again."

"Those Xiyi thieves were determined to collude with the Olympic generals to participate in the rebellion. They provided the rebels with guns and cannons, and built forts and private churches in Macau..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Bangyao seemed to hear a silent roar, and in an instant, a murderous intent came covering the sky and covering the earth.

When he looked at the Son of Heaven again, his expression was already gloomy and cold, full of murderous intent!

"They are so brave!"

"A mere Western barbarian dares to intervene in the war in Shenzhou. This case must never be opened!"

This news seemed to touch the most sensitive nerve in Li Xiu's heart. At this moment, the killing intent was unprecedented!

"Pass down the decree and tell Yan Shun that the south of the Yangtze River can be chaotic, but the Franji people must not stay!"

"The Folangji people in Macau, and those who have colluded with Xiyi, send them to see the King of Hades!"

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

"This is the nature of Xiyi. Tomorrow, you draft a memorandum to announce to all the ministers that the matter of Macao in the Ming Dynasty must never appear in Daheng!"

"Wei Chen understands."

Until Shi Bangyao retreated tremblingly, Li Xiu couldn't suppress his anger.

The so-called Francois are naturally the collective name of the later Portuguese and Spaniards.

And the one who occupies Macau is naturally the famous Portuguese.

Since the Zhengde period, the Portuguese have arrived in Daming. The Portuguese, who are rampant all over the world, think that Ming is like those natives. They once arrogantly violated the Guangzhou-Haikou trade, and were immediately suppressed and expelled by the Ming navy.

Then came the smuggling activities along the coast of Guangdong and Zhejiang. With the help of favorable terrain, on the one hand, they demanded to do business with Daming, and on the other hand, they took the opportunity to smuggle, sell drugs, and rob ships and goods.

However, in the second year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty canceled the official tribute trade, and in addition, the Ming Dynasty did not allow the Portuguese to do business on the shore, which naturally did not conform to the interests of the Portuguese.

Under this form, the Portuguese harassed and plundered the coastal areas of Zhejiang many times by secretly manipulating pirates, and eventually even directly occupied Shuangyu Port near Ningbo Port, which eventually directly led to the thunder and anger of the Ming Dynasty advocates of maritime prohibition.

The Battle of Shuangyu and the Battle of Zoumaxi directly forced the Portuguese to leave the Fujian and Zhejiang generations, and also let go of the naive idea of ​​using warships and cannons to make Ming surrender, drifting on the sea in the Fujian and Zhejiang generations, without a place to stay for decades land.

It was not until the 32nd year of Jiajing that the tribute was wet as an excuse to bribe officials and temporarily stay in Macau.

Western countries, since ancient times, have always been aggressive. After staying for a while, they refused to leave with various excuses. In addition, officials who bribed them did their best to conceal it. Over time, it became a fact.

However, Macau was not occupied by the Portuguese, but only with the help of it. Macau was still under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan County. The Portuguese had to pay rent and taxes regularly, and they had to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Crimes were judged by the Ming Dynasty.

It wasn't until the Xiangshan incident in the Wanli period that it attracted the attention of officials at the upper levels of Ming Dynasty. However, for such a long time, Macau has long been integrated with the foreign maritime trade system of Ming Dynasty.

In this way, Zhang Minggang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, came up with ten rules for governing Macao.

These ten rules clearly stipulate that Portuguese are not allowed to buy properties in Macau, build or renovate houses and other activities.

In addition, a third-rank military officer was set up to administer Macau, and the official position was a general, commanding thousands of troops.

Then for a long time, the Portuguese, like thieves, tentatively built forts and churches, and then they were demolished by Daming. After being honest for a while, they tried again and were stopped again.

Later, the war in Houjin was urgent, and this time, it was Daming's turn to focus on Portugal.

After all, at that time, the craftsmanship of artillery and firearms had already lagged behind that of the West. Daming, who had lost the post-Gold War, urgently needed a solution to the situation, and the Portuguese's fairly good artillery and firearms were targeted by Daming.

Under the pretext of deportation and rent increases, the Portuguese were threatened to manufacture artillery and firearms.

Li Xiu has done a lot of this kind of thing.

At the beginning of the expansion of the Armaments Department and the establishment of the Denglai Shipyard, he was based on the principle of not taking nothing for nothing, and took a tougher approach than the officials of the Ming Dynasty. A group of craftsmen came.

When he was in power, the reason why he still suppressed his nausea and kept the Portuguese in Macau was to have a place where the Portuguese could be controlled.

After all, if he can make a decision, he can let the Portuguese in Macau do something for him, such as various disciplines in the martial arts academy, and if there are new crafts in the West, he can get them through Macau.

But the premise of all this is that the Portuguese can be honest, even if they are a little delusional, they can be controlled.

After all, to drive away the Portuguese is just a matter of one sentence, and there is not much resistance.

But now, funding rebels, meddling in civil wars...

What do they want to do?

Thinking of this, the nerve in Li Xiu's heart that originated from later generations was touched again, and a strong killing intent boiled over.

His wolfish ambitions have been fully revealed in later generations!

But his Daheng is not Manchu, nor is he Cixi!

Under his rule, in Daheng, any slightest sign must be snuffed out!

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu suddenly remembered the Dutch envoy that Shi Bangyao had just reported.

Thinking about the Fujian Navy based in Taiwan and Penghu, Li Xiuzhi's expression suddenly darkened a lot.

Non-my family, its heart must be different!

He can allow the meat to rot in the pot, but he will never allow the meat to be eaten by outsiders!

Chapter 382 Ancestral soil, not the same size as people!

"Xuan, the Dutch envoys are here!"

When the sun was rising, a loud voice came out from the majestic and majestic Huangji Hall, and then, like a megaphone, a eunuch shouted one after another from the Huangji Hall to the Meridian Gate.

"Your Majesty has a decree, announce that the Dutch envoys will see you!"

Above the Meridian Gate Tower, there were soldiers shouting, straight into the sky.

Outside the Meridian Gate, accompanied by several Honglu Temple officials, several Dutch envoys stood.

Hearing this voice, one of the Honglu Temple officials nodded to the interpreter at the side. Immediately, under the guidance of the Honglu Temple officials, several Dutch envoys also slowly walked into this majestic palace.

Along the way, the soldiers stood upright with guns and knives.The palace was solemn and majestic, and under such an atmosphere, several members of the Dutch mission also tightened their minds subconsciously, silently recalling the etiquette for meeting the emperor taught by the officials of Honglu Temple.

Step by step, until the emperor's palace where hundreds of civil and military officials lined up.

Standing in the hall, under the curious gaze of civil servants and military generals, all the Dutch envoys couldn't help but feel a little dazed. After a while, the leader of the mission, Georg, shouted and bowed in stumbling Chinese.

"Vice-Governor of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, pay homage to Emperor Daheng!"

"Foreign envoys don't need to be polite."

Li Xiu looked down at several Dutch envoys, and then looked around at the eyes of the civil and military courtiers who were sizing up the Dutch envoys curiously, and their eyes flickered for a while.

Of course, he already knew the purpose of the Dutch envoy's visit, but he still let the Dutch envoy go to the hall to have an audience, in order to let the civil and military officials have a deep impression of Xiyi and increase their understanding of Xiyi.

After all, the future Daheng is destined to deal with Xiyi.

After a while, Li Xiucai asked knowingly.

"Foreign envoys have come here from thousands of miles away, but why?"

Hearing this, Georg and the mission interpreter looked at each other, then bowed to Li Xiu and said:

"Hearing that His Majesty was enthroned and established the country, the Governor of the Netherlands in Taiwan sent us here to congratulate... I want to communicate with Daheng..."

"presumptuous!"

Just halfway through the translation, he was interrupted by a sudden scolding sound. The chief minister of the cabinet, Lai Zongdao, stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xiu: "Your Majesty, Taiwan has been under the jurisdiction of Penghu since ancient times, and it is our territory. Why? Come to the Governor of Taiwan in the Netherlands to talk about it!"

"This is stealing from our territory, and his heart can be punished!"

"Your Majesty, please be enlightened!"

As soon as this remark came out, the civil and military court's originally interested demeanor suddenly changed. Taiwan was stolen by the Netherlands. In this court, few people really knew about it.

After all, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, before the Year of Apocalypse, any peeping of the land of the Ming Dynasty by the Xiyi was met with extremely powerful counterattacks.

The Dutch occupation of Taiwan also began when Emperor Tianqi fell into the water and passed away in the sixth year of Tianqi. Since then, the Ming Dynasty, the court, and the world have never been peaceful. Naturally, few people will care about Taiwan, which is far away overseas.

Even if it is reported to the imperial court, it is undoubtedly extremely inconspicuous among many major events.

For example, Zheng Zhilong was ordered to serve as a guerrilla general in coastal defense, which was the result of being unable to take care of it.

However, if you are unable to take care of it, you will be unable to take care of it. If you don’t know, you don’t know. In today’s court, when foreign envoys visit, this reality is presented. It is naturally related to the national prestige, and everything that involves the national prestige is naturally not tolerated. Things to ignore!

What's more, it was the chief assistant of the cabinet who fired the gun, and the deep meaning behind it was obviously very clear.

As a result, the direction of the court also changed suddenly, civil servants and military generals stood up one after another, either citing classics, or directly clamoring to destroy the city and restore the soil...

"Your Majesty, Xiyi is treacherous, taking advantage of the civil strife in China, stealing the land of Taiwan, and despising Daheng Tianwei, please Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead a partial teacher..."

"His Majesty……"

The sudden anger of the crowd undoubtedly made several people in the Dutch mission a little confused. The translator stumbled and explained for a while before the Dutch missions understood.

For a moment, several Dutch envoys also turned pale. Even though they traveled thousands of miles across the sea, they have been here for decades, how can they not know how powerful this country is.

What a terrifying right the emperor of this country has.

The reason why they can run rampant in the Taiwan Strait is because this country doesn't care about the ocean. Even if they don't care, they have been defeated many times in the Taiwan Strait and can only hide in Taiwan far away.
