These years of being the queen mother!

Daming used the Humen Yaniang shoe incident as an excuse to formally declare war on Britain.Once the news spread, the whole country was in an uproar.First of all, the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs jumped out and said that Wedell, who led hundreds of sailors to attack the Humen Yaniang Shoes Fort, was a vicious pirate and was wanted by the UK at this time. His actions caused losses to the Ming Dynasty. I sincerely apologize for this.But you can't count his behavior on the head of the United States!

To this, Empress Dowager Yang responded: "He is British!"

"Yes, Wedell is British, but he is wanted by the government and is a pirate who commits all kinds of crimes..." The British ambassador wanted to argue, but was interrupted forcefully by Queen Mother Yang.

"Aijia doesn't care whether he is a pirate or not. Aijia only knows that he ignored the Humen Fort defenders' warning shots and deliberately provoked trouble and attacked the Humen Yaniangshoe Fort. Ambassador, you also admit that he is British. People, beating a dog depends on the owner, if the dog got into trouble, if it doesn’t seek compensation from the owner, who will it look for?”

The ambassador was speechless. Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of Empress Dowager Yang's last words, it didn't prevent him from understanding that if he didn't pay a price this time, Daming might really declare war on Britain.

The reason why the fleet led by Weddell came to Humen, Guangzhou, apart from the secret authorization from the top of the British navy, the biggest reason was because of the French...

Although the United Kingdom and the Netherlands reached an agreement on the partition of Japan and drove the Portuguese out of Japan, since Spain and Portugal's maritime hegemony have been gradually replaced by the Netherlands, the Netherlands does not really think highly of the short-term ally of the United Kingdom.And Britain understands it when it wants to come, so on the one hand, it continues to maintain friendship with the Netherlands, on the other hand, it secretly hooks up with Spain and Portugal.

In 1636 AD, that is, the ninth year of Ming Taichang, Weddell, a British naval officer, was invited by the Spanish and Portuguese to form a caravan with several hundred people and drive several "merchant ships" to leave. Britain, after months of sailing, arrived in Goa, India, on 1637 October.He left Goa at the beginning of 25 (the tenth year of Ming Taichang), and arrived in Macau, which is near the Haojingao Strait, on June [-] of the same year.

At this time, Haojingao (Macau) had been leased to France, and France’s relationship with Britain was a bit tense because of Britain’s covetous colony. The French who were doing business in Haojingao at that time were afraid that the Sino-British trade would affect them The commercial interests in Haojingao were all opposed to the arrival of the Wedell fleet, and unanimously let the Wedell fleet leave Haojingao (Macau).The Weddell fleet decided to go directly to Guangzhou one by one, which is the antecedent of the Humen Yaniang shoes incident.

In history, after the Humen Aniang shoes incident, the Chinese and British sides negotiated, and the Weddell fleet returned 35 cannons. Afterwards, China and the British also began to communicate with each other. However, the Weddell fleet had been moored near Guangzhou for half a year. They used force twice, defeated the Ming defenders, occupied villages, and blew up forts. However, due to the corruption of the Ming government at that time, which was harsh and tough at home, and lenient at the outside, the hundreds of people led by Weddell were in the hands of the coastal areas of Guangzhou. People set fires rampantly, and later openly suggested to the British government to seize the South China Sea Islands as a base for British aggression against the East.

Empress Dowager Yang recalled the history stored in her mind, and based on this, she privately instructed Lu Xiangsheng to kill Wedell and his subordinates who attacked the Humen Yaniang Shoes Fortress, and to send a gift of indeterminate weight to the British, so that they could feel relieved. The impure colonists have a good experience of what is meant by 'offenders who violate tomorrow's prestige will be punished even if they are far away'!

The British side pushed the responsibility well and directly defined Wedell, who was born as a naval officer, as a pirate who did all kinds of evil. However, this was of no use. , Grasping directly that Wedell is a British, he declared war on Britain with a very tough attitude.

Since Qi Chengzhi, the leader of the army, is a direct general supported by the Empress Dowager Yang, he has long guessed that the Empress Dowager Yang will not accept the false apology from the British side, and then compromise and give in. After the declaration of war, Zheng Zhilong left tens of thousands of people on the second day and asked his son Zheng Chenggong to continue stationing in Taiwan. People from Japan, the Netherlands, and other countries were all blocked in Nagasaki Port and could not go out.

Zheng Zhilong made such a move, and Qi Chengzhi, who had 60 sailors in his hands, was not far behind. He led the ocean-going fleet, in the name of escorting and repelling the enemy, and set sail from Haojingao (Macau) to Mancija (Malacca), back and forth After sailing several times, the British merchant ships that came and went suffered heavy losses, and they never dared to fly the flag of the King of England again.

"A few more times, the navy's salary for the next three years is all together, tsk tsk, daddy is right, this group of red-haired barbarians are really rich." On the main ship of the 'escort', Qi Sichang, who had been in charge for a long time, watched with a telescope After a while, Ming officials commented with relish on the 'bad' behavior of stripping the other party's captives down to their underpants.

"This is too ruthless. After all, I have to leave a suit of clothes for people. It's too eye-catching to stand shirtless in a row."

"Don't look at it if it's too eye-catching!" Xu Ye, who almost spit out gall, wiped his mouth with his wrinkled sleeve, and then leaned weakly on the deck railing, complaining. "What kind of enmity do we have? You insist on letting me come here with you. I don't know if you're so fucking seasick! I'm so sad, I'm going to vomit to death."

"I just knew you were seasick, that's why I brought you here with good intentions. Xiaoye, it's not that my brother said you, you really need to exercise a lot to cure your seasickness!"

"Hehe, thank you so much for your kindness!" Xu Ye, who was like a dead fish and almost foaming at the mouth, gave Qi Sichang a middle finger, changed his posture, and continued to lean on the deck railing to hum Uh-huh.

Qi Sichang thought of Xu Ye's vomit, and felt really uncomfortable physically and mentally, so he felt compassionate, too lazy to complain about Xu Ye, who was like a dead fish, and continued to observe the "enemy situation" ahead with his binoculars.Well, ignoring that the captives were women, this group of veterans confiscated too much, at least they left a suit of clothes for them.

Never admitting that he has been with the navy for a while, and also learned the method of plucking the wild goose's hair, Qi Sichang observed the surrounding sea area with the telescope, and then put away the binoculars in a good mood, complaining that the whole person was already lying on the deck Above, Xu Ye who didn't have the slightest literary temperament.

"Look at you, Sichang thought you had gone to the west, and the lump over there is just an empty shell left by you!"

"You're the one who died, you're the one."

Xu Ye retorted weakly, and at the end tears welled up in his eyes, and he whimpered with crying. "My lord, what evil did you do? You actually got to know a brother like you, and you're also seasick, you're seasick, you brought me here to be loyal to the country even though you knew it, Qi Sichang, you are inhuman!"

"Look at you scolding so vigorously, there shouldn't be much problem with people." Qi Sichang rubbed his chin, and said maliciously: "I said Xiao Ye, if you don't get up to do things again, Sichang can only take extraordinary measures to make you You are sober. For example, kick you into the sea and wash your brain."

"Qi Sichang, you vicious bastard, I really owed you in my previous life."

While cursing, Xu Ye quickly turned up from the deck, tears streaming down his face.He really shouldn't show off his language talent, otherwise, how could Empress Dowager Yang, who loves herself and knows her like a nephew, know that she has seasickness, and even named herself as Qi Sichang's deputy, and went south to Guangzhou together to participate in this foreign exchange... fighting.

Having said that, speaking of foreign wars, apart from Marshal Qi (Qi Chengzhi)'s reckless Qianlong Fleet firing a few guns and sinking several large "merchant" ships equipped with cannons, the Phoenix Fleet led by Qi Sichang, I haven't fired a cannon at all. Every time I encounter the Phoenix Fleet, which is painted red and brightly red, I don't feel like firing. The fate of death.

Hey, it seems that this foreign 'national war' may end in anticlimactic fashion.

Well, he needs to give an example of a war indemnity regulation, so that the British will be compensated with nothing but pants left, and understand the fate of offending me, Daming.

Immediately after getting off the boat, Xu Ye regained his energy and became radiant. He rubbed his chin and smiled maliciously at the red-haired captives standing on the beach with their hands captured behind their backs, stripped to their underpants, and then Speak in proficient, nasal English. "Let's talk about the two ends you can have!"

The Brits, who lost all their belongings and became captives, looked at each other in blank dismay. They were obviously amazed that this young man with a pale face and who seemed to be overindulgent could speak such fluent English.

"You can speak English!" As the only woman among the captives who was not stripped of her clothes, Fleilly quickly recovered, and said to Xu Ye with a pale face. "Sir, may I ask what the two endings are?"

"What is this ghost girl talking about!" Qi Sichang asked curiously after listening to the birdsong.

"She praised Grandpa for being so handsome."

Xu Ye, who rubbed his chin narcissistically, got the supercilious look from Qi Sichang as expected. Xu Ye laughed strangely, cleared his throat, and continued speaking in English to the prisoners standing in rows on the beach. "There are two kinds of endings. One is naturally to pay enough ransom to buy your lives according to the so-called international agreement. The second is to go to the mine and pay less crimes for work."

"That's very reasonable, sir." The female prisoner, Forelli, said calmly. "I don't know how much gold coins our family should pay to redeem us."

"The law of the Ming Dynasty, the pension for the soldiers who died in war is 100 taels per person. Well, let's do it according to this, you can pay [-] gold each, and that's it. Seeing that Fleilly said 'It's so cheap, it's only [-] taels With a gold coin' expression, Xu Ye added negligently. "This one hundred gold ransom refers to the one hundred gold circulating in Daming, not your gold coins with low gold content! "One hundred gold per person must be paid for in real terms, or they will all go to the mines as hard labor!"
