Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

Marquis Vincent had never been so insulted!

As an honorable earl of the empire on which the sun never sets, Vincent is the most valued guest of many kings wherever he goes.

Waking up in the inn, he threw everything to the ground in a rage.How dare this dirty country that wags its tail like an animal insult itself! ?Insulting the great empire on which the sun never sets?Marquis Vincent's face was distorted, and he clenched his fists.

They cannot be forgiven so easily...

Marquis Vincent quietly left Fuzhou City that day - the news was quickly delivered to the imperial court by the guards who were following him.

Admiral Shi Lang was a little uneasy.

He whispered: "Your Majesty - just let him go so easily?"

Marquis Vincent's resentment made people feel crisis-ridden.

Kangxi's expression was stern: "The Marquis Vincent did nothing wrong. Isn't it a reason for us to detain him for those small foreign countries?"

The Marquis Vincent was indeed arrogant.

Being overly arrogant, he did not intervene in this matter. Unlike Earl Matthew and others who were arrested and believed that the Qing military ships and cannons were very deterrent, Marquis Vincent scoffed at this, and Earl Matthew's invitation Cooperation is also dismissive.

What would such an arrogant Marquis Vincent do?

In fact, Kangxi and many ministers had a possibility in their minds, and Zhibei Le Yinti's face was flushed, and there was faint excitement in his eyes.

He... still wants to rely on his military exploits to become the county king, the prince!

Kangxi clapped his hands: "Shi Aiqing, Yinti. The two of you should pay more attention to the movement on the sea recently. You must not relax your vigilance when patrolling day and night. Do you understand?"

Admiral Shi Lang and Zhibei Le Yinti's faces turned serious at the same time, and they all responded respectfully.

If the previous military exercise is just an exercise.

Then if there is impulsiveness next, it will be the best experience for the navy!

People in Fujian and even in Linhai, Guangdong soon noticed something unusual.First, there were officers and soldiers taking turns patrolling in the lighthouse, and then the ships going to sea also needed to be registered and reviewed, and then the commercial firms in various places discovered that they were banned from long-distance shipping for a short period of time—even foreign fleets were also asked to temporarily stop going to sea.

The foreign merchants themselves were frightened by the previous events, and now they are in a hurry, with a strong look of anxiety in their eyes.

The merchants are like this, and the common people are even more disturbed.

They gradually reduced the number of times they went out, hoarded food and kept an eye on the changes around them.

More than ten days have passed like this.

Suddenly one night the sound of rumbling guns woke up the sleeping people.From the thatched huts in the suburbs to the courtyards of brick houses in the city, the people lit up the lights one by one, walked out of the house and listened to the sound in the distance.

Worry and fear swayed across their faces.

Everyone blesses and blesses the army of the Qing Dynasty to win.

The loud bang continued until the sky turned pale.

Full of curiosity, the people who hadn't had a good night's sleep rushed out of their homes and ran towards the coast where the sound came from yesterday.

From a distance they saw many officers and soldiers surrounding the beach.

A few bold villagers looked over their heads, and their faces turned pale with fright after only one glance.

What appeared in front of their eyes were fragments of masts, planks, or other things. They were randomly piled up on the beach, and that's all. The most important thing was that there were countless stumps among them.

In the sweltering weather of Fujian and Guangdong, one night is enough to make these corpses stink. People who have never seen such a scene covered their mouths and hid aside and vomited profusely.

The officers and soldiers were busy cleaning up the corpses.

These wreckages were piled up in carts and quickly pushed away and buried. The people watched this scene in fear. It took many of them a cup of tea or even more time to calm down and look around.

"That's not our Qing Dynasty's ship!"

"There is also a curly man with yellow hair in it."

"Did we win yesterday?"

"This is not our ship, we must have won!"

The people were chattering.

It's just that the more they guessed, the more curious they became. They had to turn their attention to the officers and soldiers, eager to get an answer from them.

The officers and soldiers had no intention of whetting their appetites.

One of the soldiers smiled and said, "These corpses are not ours! Our ships are all fine!"

"Is that—is it a pirate's?"

"No—it's a ship called Grand Luzon and an English ship."

"Hiss—isn't that from a foreigner's country?"

"I heard from the shipping company that the fleet of those foreigners is awesome?"

"It's probably because they don't know much about it."

"No, no, no! Maybe we are too strong?" A commoner said excitedly.

These words silenced the audience for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, countless people's eyes lit up—isn't that the case?The expressions on their faces became more and more excited, and they didn't know who was the first to shout: "Long live! Long live the emperor—Long live the Great Qingshui Master!"

Immediately afterwards, the shouts became louder and louder, resounding like a mountain roar and a tsunami, resounding all over Fujian and Guangdong.

Yinti happily talked about his bravery in this battle, how he commanded the ship to bombard the enemy, and how he flew to the opposite ship to capture a captain——so much so that the two younger brothers had stars in their eyes, and they wanted to kick him Fly and board the ship yourself as the captain!

Yinzhen and Yinzhi longed for each other.

They are sure that if the other brothers know about this, they will be as excited as themselves—even if they are Xianyu, Xianyu also has the dream of showing our country's prestige!

Speaking of this, Yinzhen suddenly remembered something.

He excitedly went in to find Kangxi: "Ama Khan, Ama Khan! We defeated Luzon and England, should we ask them for compensation?"

A group of courtiers were silent for a moment.

Kerkun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stammered: "Si elder brother... this, this, how can our big country ask those small countries for compensation? Doesn't it hurt our reputation if we say it?"

Yinzhen:……?

He looked at the officials around him in surprise, and found that many of them were nodding their heads repeatedly, and then he laughed angrily: "Are you kidding? They started the war in advance without announcing it, which caused huge losses to our Qing Dynasty, the people were displaced, and the income of merchant ships plummeted. Let them pay a price, what if they come again and again?"

Yinzhen slapped the tabletop loudly.

Admiral Shi Lang's heart moved slightly: "This servant thinks what the fourth elder brother said is reasonable."

Ker Kun hesitated to speak.

Huge loss?People displaced?Merchant shipping revenue plummeting?Forget about the first and last ones, the common people have nothing to do except not sleeping well all night, I heard that there will be a temple fair to celebrate!

Yinzhen said sharply: "Khan Ama, foreigners are different from us. What they pursue is profit. If we foolishly give them things instead of asking them for compensation, I'm afraid we will come to make a call every few days! Besides, the shells need money, right? Our ships also need to be repaired? The people who fish for a living and the merchant ships that go to sea to make a living have all suffered losses, right? You can only ask them to ask for compensation, which makes them feel pain. Foreigners will honestly follow our rules!"

That's not to mention that Yinzhen used his ability to count as a small expert, and made a calculation in a crackling manner, and listed a number that made people's hearts flutter.

Zhibeiler Yinti's eyes glowed.

He was thinking about the compensation calculated in this way... Ahem, maybe a few more new ships can be built?He and Admiral Shi Lang looked at each other, and both demanded to follow this in unison.

right!Just follow this.

To compensate, to compensate greatly! ! !

Seeing that the eyes of his son and the officials present were almost turning into ￥￥ symbols, Kangxi also waved his hand: "I will leave this matter to... Yinzhen and Yinzhi you two to handle!"

Yinzhen rubbed his hands together.

He responded with all his mouth, and then bumped Yinzhi with his elbow: "Third brother, agree quickly!"

Yinzhi came back to his senses.

He also responded respectfully, but after exiting the courtyard gate, he became more or less uneasy about this task.

Who are you negotiating with?

How to negotiate?

How to choose the amount of negotiation?

The first experience was such a difficult topic, and Yinzhi's face was so solemn that he seemed to start thinking about the solution immediately.It's just that he just grabbed Yinzhen's hand to go to the study, when Yinzhen grabbed him: "Third Brother, there's no need."

"...?"

"There is an easier way."

Yinzhi was confused: "Easier way?"

Yinzhen chuckled, and whispered in the ears of several guards for a while.

Everyone in the Admiral's Mansion was happy.

On the other side, foreign businessmen are in chaos.

The fleets of Greater Luzon and England were defeated!

To be honest, no one expected such a result. Not only the Marquis Vincent who wrote back to complain was greatly impacted, but the businessmen from England and Greater Luzon also felt panic and fear in their hearts.

In the Qing Dynasty, it is necessary to abide by the laws of the Qing Dynasty.

It is obviously a matter of course, but it is ignored by foreign businessmen.

The territory of this country is too vast.

Just one province is much larger than some countries in Europe.In China, there is another saying that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how majestic the emperor who is far away in the capital, it is difficult to control Guangdong, Fujian and other places.As long as you make good friends with the officials, and then win over all the merchants to your own ship, merchants from foreign countries can live freely here-to be honest, many people feel much more comfortable than in their own country!

As for the emperor's threat.

Oh...the ones who got caught were just some unlucky ones, you must know that the emperor wouldn't stay here for long and everything would go on as usual after he left.

But now everything is broken.

A country that originally looked corrupt and backward actually has such a powerful strength—then you all pretended to be a fart before!

First, the three jazz were killed like a quick knife.

Now the sea ships of Great Luzon and England have been directly blown up—more importantly, there are faint rumors—this noble emperor wants to demand compensation from Luzon and England!

If the compensation is not paid, the merchants from Luzon and England will not be allowed to come and operate. God knows how much the nobles of the European countries love the beautiful porcelain, gorgeous silk, tea and other specialties. They only need a few taels of silver. European countries can sell hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels, not to mention those high-quality treasures.

And once England and Greater Luzon were expelled.

Wouldn't their profits all go to France, France, or even Italy?To be honest, these businessmen from England and Greater Luzon don't care about the defeat of their own country, they are more worried about their own money and their status.

oh! NO!

Everyone frantically wrote letters to their backstage at the same time, and incidentally denounced Marquis Vincent's actions in the most angry and vicious language.

This is what they fear most.

It took only four days for the three jazz to be beheaded, and it took only half a month for the war to start.God knows what terrible things will happen to them if the compensation cannot satisfy His Majesty the Emperor!

Thinking of this, everyone shuddered.

They don't want to leave their lives in the Qing Dynasty like those idiots like Earl Matthew.

In fact, the headquarters in England and Greater Luzon were also in disarray.There were 12 ships in the fleet they dispatched, and three of them were capital ships. The result was that the entire army was wiped out—seven ships were sunk, and only three ships escaped, and two of them were captured. .

And one of the main ships.

The commander above is a... big shot.

This news has not been leaked, and after hearing that the Qing Dynasty intends to ask them for compensation, the headquarters of England and Greater Luzon are still relieved-here!Give!Just get our people back!
