Clearance: Reset History

In fact, the reason why Yinyi made such a request was because he was really angry. As for the source of the anger, it had to be traced back to more than a month ago.

We all know that the piece of Macau leased by Portugal is a small port. I don’t know if it was affected by the opening of the treaty port by the imperial court this year. Facing the doubts of the members, the Governor of Macau, Portugal, decided to develop the potential of the Macau port and organized manpower to expand the port.

It's just that there is a problem with the position chosen by Wen Lishi.

The location is naturally good, no matter how you look at it, there is only one point, that location is the place where the most active fish species are the most abundant and the harvest is the largest during the annual fishing season, so the construction of a port will definitely affect fishermen's fishing, so Many fishermen are very resistant to this and have expressed their opposition many times.But these fishermen have nothing to do with each other, and they have no background. They are all low-level laborers. The most fierce resistance they can do is to interfere with the port construction process.

Wen Lishi needed a lot of local residents to build this port, but due to the resistance of most fishermen, manpower was not easy to recruit, so the progress of the project was slow, and then these fishermen disturbed it, so the results of half a month were wasted half!

Regarding this, Wen Lishi is inevitably a little impatient - he has been the governor of Australia for three years. According to the usual practice, he should bid farewell to this rich and beautiful land this year, but to be honest, he doesn't really want to go back to China.

Although Macau is located in a corner of China, an ancient oriental country, it is still in the east after all, and he can obtain things that only the upper class nobles in his own country can enjoy at a very small price, such as gorgeous and exquisite silk, elegant Lovely porcelain, rich flavor of tea, and although his authority in Macau is not too great, he is not only subject to the constraints of the loyal parliament, but also restricted by Chinese officials, but after all, he is still far away from his king and nobles. We are very far away, just like the old Chinese saying, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he can almost do whatever he wants in Macau.So I have to say, he is still very satisfied.Therefore, if he wants to stay in Macau and continue to retain the position of Governor of Macau, he must make some achievements to prove to his king.And his weight is this Macau port - as long as it is completed, although he dare not say that it will compete with the Chinese court, at least it can guarantee most of Portugal's interests in the East, especially when India is basically divided by Spain and England. Down.At the same time, he can continue to stay and supervise the project on the grounds that he has a better understanding of Eastern affairs.

But these Chinese civilians are very stubborn!Obviously, after the port is built, relying on its strong cargo turnover capacity alone is enough to make them live comfortably, and there is no need for fishing or anything!What's more, it's not just such a place with a lot of fish. He really didn't think that the construction of such a port would ruin the families of the fishermen in Macau!

Wen Lishi found it difficult to understand these Chinese civilians, and of course he didn't want to understand, so he arbitrarily sent a musketeer team to supervise the construction of the port, and strictly prohibited local fishermen from approaching the port. Anyone who intentionally interfered with the port construction would be killed. .

——Starting from Mascar Road, the Governor of Macau officially became the post of Portugal in Macau, and jointly governed the affairs of the Portuguese community with the Macau Council, making the interests of the Portuguese in China grow steadily.On the contrary, it is the Chinese imperial court's neglect of Macau all the year round, which has led to the expansion of the Portuguese's authority in Macau, which is far greater than the extent of "renting" land, so it is not surprising that Wen Lishi made this decision.

It's just that Wen Lishi didn't expect that his behavior of building a port may be moving towards a better future in the eyes of many people, but for some people, it is forcing them to die-those who only make a living by fishing fishermen.

So although the Portuguese soldiers with live ammunition were terrifying, many people still took risks for their only way of survival.

So a small Sino-Portuguese conflict broke out in Macau, which had been quiet for more than 100 years.

Although restricted by the "peace-loving" loyal council, the musketeers dealt with the fishermen carefully, but some people were hit by bullets during the scuffle and died on the spot.

Blood is always easy to wake up.

The local fishermen in Macau were quickly overwhelmed. They made a fuss before, but because the Portuguese seldom resorted to force. In the face of powerful power, they could only choose to submit, and the construction of Macau Port continued smoothly.

Originally, this matter ended like this. After all, the dead fishermen were just low-status people at the bottom, and few people always paid attention to their lives and deaths.The so-called disregard for human life is just because the life of some people is really not much more expensive than a grass.

The turning point of the matter was that a neighbor surnamed Zhao of the uncle of the dead fisherman's daughter-in-law had recently immigrated to Dongning with his family.

After this incident happened, the family of the fisherman who died lost a mainstay of labor. It was very difficult for the fisherman’s daughter-in-law to go back to her mother’s house to cry and complain. The neighbor’s mother-in-law happened to hear it, so the woman told her family as a story when she returned home. men listen.

Then, the whole family moved to Dongning to work hard.

Coincidentally, this Zhao family happened to move to the street of Haichenghou's Mansion.

Zheng Keshuang had basically lost everything since he came back from the capital, except for the Zheng family's old house and the Zheng family's ancestral hall which had been converted into Haichenghou's mansion, and only a little salary left as a Marquis.

Zheng Keshuang didn't understand anything, and didn't want to understand anything. He left everything in the mansion to the butler introduced by the old butler. He wandered around the streets and alleys all day long, listening to gossip, and he especially liked this man who had just moved from Macau. Come here, the new residents who often tell stories about foreigners.The Zhao family couple talked about it incidentally, and lamented that the world is unstable.

Although Zheng Keshuang has nothing to do all day long, he still cares about the elder brother he recognizes very much. From time to time, he will send two letters there—as for the resulting "Futai" that specially sends letters to both sides of the strait and then extends to deliver goods. "Letter stack" is a later story—and Yinzhen felt that although Zheng Keshuang was stupid, he was also cute and stupid. Every time he sent a letter, he would be happy for a while, so he acquiesced in this kind of harassment, so he looked at it. To the incident that Zheng Keshun told as a story.

It has to be said that Kangxi’s education was still very successful—at least the prince of the Tian family has the concept that the world is his family and the world is the most important thing. Compared with Zheng Keshuang’s purely story-telling child’s heart, Yin’s first reaction was to frown. So rampant, the second reaction is to think about how to solve this matter.

Although it was just an ordinary civilian who was killed, if it was before, Yin Rong would probably have laughed it off.Although some people say that you can't disregard the laws of the country and don't care about human lives, but in fact, like them, it really doesn't feel like killing one or two people, but if the party that beats people is a foreigner, the taste is completely different.

It's like a chicken raised at home, it's fine if your family kills it, but if an outsider kills it, you have to seek compensation from the other party no matter what?What's more, the other party ran into his yard and killed his own chickens. If he didn't care, wouldn't the other party want to kill all his chickens?

Yinxie's mind turned quickly, since the matter had already happened, and since he had decided to take care of it, he had to think carefully about how to solve this matter, and even if possible, use this matter to get what he wanted. something you want.

It is also for this reason that Yinlai came to Jiangning from Fuzhou to meet him, and reported the matter to Kangxi.

Kangxi pondered for a long time after hearing this.

Portugal's lease of Macau was a past event in the Ming Dynasty, and Kangxi didn't want to reason too much.One is that Macau is not fertile, and it is just a piece of wasteland when it is brought back. Second, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the Portuguese have been paying land rents honestly and have not caused much trouble. As for the third, the former Ming Dynasty None of the ships could completely drive the Portuguese out of the country. No matter how confident Lord Kangxi was, he would not dare to take his own half-water navy against Portugal, so Kangxi has been letting it develop.

But now that this has happened, it can't be ignored.

"You want to send troops to drive the Portuguese out of Macau forever?"

"Yes. My son believes that to allow the Portuguese to do business in Macau, except for retaining some force, everything must be done in accordance with the rules of the Qing Dynasty."

"What a big tone." Kangxi laughed, "Brother is so confident that he can drive the Portuguese out? They didn't drive them out 100 years ago, and they will be so easily dismissed after 100 years. ?”

"What's the matter, my Qing Dynasty is not so human?"

&n

bsp; Kangxi laughed, "Brother, is he trying to bully others? Do you want to lose face?"

Seeing that Kangxi was not angry, Yinreng heaved a sigh of relief and joked, "My brother is not shameless, this is very shameful! His skin is thicker than the walls of the imperial city!"

"Hey, don't worry about him so much, it's fine if he wins." Yinbi didn't care, and said straight, "And I seem to have heard that the Portuguese transshipped a lot of porcelain and gold and silver from Japan through the port of Macau. If copper and iron are transported back to the Kingdom of Portugal, the annual profit is roughly 50 million taels of silver."

"So much?" Yinfeng, who had tasted the sweetness of trading with foreigners, couldn't help being a little stunned, and turned to look at Kangxi, "Khan Ama, I remember, the Portuguese pay only 2 taels of silver for land rent every year, right? The gap is too big."

"Is the transshipment capacity of Macau port really so strong?" Kangxi was also a little surprised.

"Yes, I have specially sent someone to check it out. Moreover, the Portuguese are planning to build a new port, and it is estimated that the transshipment volume will be larger after completion, so I feel that the Portuguese must not stay! Even if they stay, they cannot give such a large port. privilege!"

"But the strength of the Guangdong navy...can't the Fujian navy of Jinghaihou be dispatched there?" Yinfeng objected hesitantly.

"Absolutely not!" Yinfeng vetoed loudly, "The Nanyang sea bandits are in chaos, and the Marquis of Jinghai must not move!"

"Then what does big brother think?"

"My son is willing to lead the army to expel the Portuguese for Khan Ama!"

"...?" Kangxi looked at Yinyi's eyes with a hint of surprise, and immediately retracted it, "Let me think about it."

"My son thanked Khan Ama!"

"Okay, I'm tired too, you guys should step back first. Concubine Hui should still be waiting, elder brother, go over and say hello to your mother-in-law."

Hearing that Er Niang had also come over, Yin Yin was very pleasantly surprised, and sincerely kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you Khan Ama for your kindness, and my son will leave."

Squinting his eyes, watching Yinfeng and Yinfeng leave the room hand in hand, Kangxi nodded slightly, and instantly had a plan for Yinfeng's proposal just now.

Well, let's talk about it tomorrow anyway.but--

The boys seem to be growing up!
