Chapter 702 Who can surpass the emperor?
After hearing his words, the county magistrate of Xiangshan County, who was originally a little cold, suddenly darkened, and said in a cold voice: "This time, you still want to use money to settle it? This is absolutely impossible! "

Hearing this, Johnson couldn't help being taken aback, and then he became a little unhappy.He had already explained in advance that if he wanted to gain benefits from this matter, he had to be measured. He didn't expect that the county magistrate hadn't been filial to him for a while, and he still wanted to open his mouth to the lion.

As a result, his face became gloomy, and his voice became colder and he said: "Lord County Lord, I just said that this matter is actually a matter of Annan Fo Langji's people, and it has nothing to do with Hao Jing'ao's real situation. It doesn’t matter at all. If you’re thinking of taking the opportunity to make a fortune, I’m sorry, no!”

Speaking of this, seeing the anger on the county magistrate's face, he added: "The county magistrate, don't forget that we Flangji people and some high officials in the court also have friendship."

In the past, Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were very friendly to Frangji.Although they are gone now, there are still a few officials of that level.

However, he knew that this matter could only be used to remind the county magistrate, after all, the imperial court was too far away from Haojingao, and the county magistrate in front of him directly governed Haojingao.He wouldn't say that unless it was absolutely necessary.

After he finished speaking, the magistrate of Xiangshan County stood up suddenly, his face was full of anger, and he felt that his anger was about to pour out.However, after several changes in his face, he finally did not utter a rage, but held back his anger, clasped his fists in both hands, gestured towards the direction of the capital, and said sharply in a low voice: "There are people in your court, can they still be bigger than the emperor? The official can tell you clearly that the two Fulang robots were captured by the emperor on the battlefield of suppressing the rebellion in Yunnan. I am here this time, following the emperor's order, and the result on your side will eventually be even higher. Report to the higher level until the emperor. Tell me, how much money is needed to resolve this matter?"

If he hadn't been receiving the benefits of these Haojing Aofulang robots before, he really wanted to turn his face.But he has a short mouth and a short hand to eat people. If he turns his face and these Xiyi reveal the past, he is afraid that it will affect his future, so he didn't speak out in anger.

Upon hearing his words, Johnson was a little dumbfounded.He never expected that the source of this incident was actually Emperor Ming, so it would be really tricky!
The current emperor of Ming Dynasty was relatively friendly to Frangji in the first few years when he took the throne.Unexpectedly, since the 12th year of Chongzhen, the attitude towards them, or the so-called Xiyi attitude in their mouths, has changed suddenly.

After asking the missionaries to follow their rules to preach and fail, the missionaries were directly expelled.The seriousness of this situation is far worse than that of Wanli and Tianqi years.It can be said that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did this, and a lot of previous efforts were in vain.

This is also the reason why he has been very soft towards the county magistrate just now.It was not until the end that he threatened in a vague way by emphasizing that Francois was related to senior officials in the court.In fact, even if there were people in the imperial court who sympathized with Frangji, they did not publicly express it.After all, in this eastern empire, no matter how big it is, can it be bigger than the emperor?

What made them feel even more helpless was that the emperor suddenly became powerful.Not only did he have his own opinions, but he also became very capable of fighting. Those who fought south and north turned out to be invincible, even stronger than Caesar a long time ago.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Johnson's face immediately changed, and he quickly squeezed out a smile and asked: "My lord, for the sake of our friendship for many years, you must help us with this matter. After all, as long as we are here, There are many benefits every year."

Hearing this, the county magistrate of Xiangshan County's expression changed again, this is simply blackmailing him with filial piety.But if it was an ordinary person, he could turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain, and just kill his mouth.But this is Frangji, if he really wants to turn his face, relying on the ability of Xiangshan County alone, there is no way at all.If you want to defeat these Fulang robots, it is estimated that the governor of Guangdong will have to come forward.

Thinking like this, the magistrate of Xiangshan County felt regretful again. If he had known that the Folangji people would cause trouble to Potian, he should not have accepted the benefits of these Folangji people in the first place.

However, everything has been done, and there is nothing he can do.As soon as he found out about this matter, he also thought about it and thought about it, so he immediately replied in a cold voice: "This matter is too difficult! But the matter is not without room for change. If the emperor is really angry, he will not I will transfer those two Frangji people to the local area and ask you to give an answer. Instead, like those red barbarians in Taiwan, who dared to fight against the Wa country for my Ming's idea, they directly sent people to destroy them."

The news of this matter has already spread to Guangdong, and Johnson has already known about it.When he learned that the Dutch were wiped out by the Ming army, he gloated a lot.

Of course, he has a better understanding of the situation in the Netherlands, and he probably guessed that it was probably the Dutch from Nagasaki who helped the country.Unexpectedly, the Dutch on the Taiwan side were also implicated in such a serious way. I am so happy. For this reason, he was drunk on the day he heard the news: Let them attack the Portuguese colonies everywhere, they deserve it !

But now, the same thing happened to them in Portugal.The seriousness of this matter is so serious that the Dutch in Taiwan can really be used as a precedent for reference.

Fortunately, it is very likely that the relationship between Portugal and Daming had been pretty good before, and they were not as arrogant towards Daming as the Dutch were. Therefore, the Emperor of Ming did not send troops directly, but asked for an explanation.

However, he also understood that if this statement did not satisfy the Ming Emperor, then the fate of the Taiwanese Dutch in Haojing'ao would most likely be the outcome!

After trying to understand the serious relationship, Johnson felt the seriousness of the matter, and grabbed the Ming official in front of him like a life-saving straw. Not only did he smile, but he also said in a humble tone: "My lord, this Please help me, please!"

If he hadn't wanted to help these Folangji people, the magistrate of Xiangshan County would not have stayed here, and he would have been vaguely threatened by this Folangji person.He forcefully suppressed his unhappiness, and analyzed to Johnson: "I can tell you clearly, whether those two Frangji people are from your Haojingao or not, in short, they are all your Flangji people. Therefore, you The reply must be satisfied by the emperor. As far as the current price is concerned, what price you offer, I mean, it is not appropriate to give any amount of compensation..."

"Ah..." Johnson was a little pale when he heard it. Hearing this, it will be difficult to pass this time?

"...I suggest that your answer is that you know that you are wrong. Although it was not the fault of Flangji from Haojingao, you should keep a low profile and let the emperor deal with it!" The magistrate of Xiangshan County looked at Johnson and said with He said in a very serious tone, "In this way, the emperor will express his true thoughts after taking care of the emperor's face. Otherwise, I can tell you clearly that no matter what your reply is, I think it is not It will satisfy the emperor. If the emperor is not satisfied, he will probably be furious and send troops to destroy you Frangji!"

Hearing this, Johnson felt a little at a loss for the first time. He hurriedly begged: "My lord, is there no other way? What if your emperor lion speaks so loudly that we can't accept it at all?"

This matter, if the Governor of Macau came forward, maybe he would not be so emboldened, and it would be a big deal.However, Johnson is a member of the Macau Council, which represents the interests of all the people in Macau.If Haojingao is lost, the biggest loss will naturally be those Haojingaofolang machines.

To his relief, what the magistrate of Xiangshan said finally made him feel a little relieved: "Didn't I just say that? The things between you and Hongyi are actually similar, but the emperor's punishment is completely different. Explain, the emperor did not intend to destroy you. He would not set out conditions that would be unacceptable to them. If that is the case, why bother to do so much? This time, it is not the official, but the imperial court army! "

"Then... that is really at your emperor's disposal?" Johnson felt unwilling, this kind of negotiation was too passive, so he wanted to confirm again with the last chance of luck.

The magistrate of Xiangshan County knew what the Folang robot in front of him was thinking, so he nodded vigorously, and emphasized again: "The current emperor is wise and powerful, so don't think of other crooked ways to deal with it, otherwise, I didn't want to kill you Folang at first. If you don't have a machine, it will kill your Flang machine, believe it or not?"

The deeds of the Ming emperor over the years really made Johnson feel unconfident, so he didn't dare to think about anything else, and sighed heavily.

Seeing him like this, the county magistrate of Xiangshan County remembered something, and said to him again: "Besides, you have to tear down the wall immediately. Also, you can't point your artillery at the land side. Don't try to resist, it won't do you any good. It’s the end of the game. Make a low profile enough to help the emperor give you a lighter punishment.”

Haojingao has always been under the jurisdiction of Ming Dynasty, so there was no wall in the past.In the second year of Tianqi, the Dutch attacked Macau once, and after that, the Portuguese found an excuse to build a wall.

The local government of Daming once asked them to tear down these walls, but they didn't listen and kept procrastinating.Strictly speaking, it would be illegal for them to set up the Macao Council and manage themselves. All the things that happened in Daming should be governed by the officials of Daming.

At this time, Johnson's expression suddenly changed when he heard what the Xiangshan County Magistrate said.
