Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 335 You are not a citizen of Ming Dynasty, you are not even a fart

Facts have proved that Liu Dashan is somewhat immature.

Compared with Liu Dashan's family, which started only two or three generations ago, Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang, whose family has lasted for more than 200 years or more, have much deeper backgrounds and have left behind many successors.

Qian Yi is the follower left behind by Master Qian.

On the surface, Qian Yi was just an ordinary scholar, and had nothing to do with Mr. Qian, a sage and gentry from the countryside. Even though Mr. Qian was completely cold, this scholar Qian did not show the slightest bit of sadness.

Behind the scenes, this Xiucai Qian was Master Qian's own son. He had been raised outside as an illegitimate child since birth, so that if the current situation happened, Master Qian's family would not be completely extinct.

According to the education he had received since he was a child, Qian Yi had to choose to go to sea as soon as Master Qian got cold, and then find a way to return to Daming after a period of time when the wind died down.

However, what Qian Yi didn't expect was that he had just left the waters of Daming, and he ran into pirates, and what Qian Yi didn't expect was that these pirates were so vicious that they dared to fight in the Daming Sea. Shang's boat was killing people, it seemed that he didn't care about Daming's reputation at all?

Looking at the boss of the ship whose head was cut off with a knife, Qian Yi, who was dragged onto the deck by someone, suppressed the fear in his heart, and shouted, "Where are you robbers? Do you know that this is Daming's ship? We are all citizens of Ming Dynasty? If you dare to attack us, the navy of Ming Dynasty will definitely not let you go!"

The leading pirate laughed, looked at Qian Yi and said, "Are you a sand sculpture? You are from Ming Dynasty? How come I don't know?"

Hearing the pirates in front of him speak the official language of Ming Dynasty, Qian Yi's heart immediately sank to the bottom - the reputation of the Daming Navy may be able to scare the real pirates, but it cannot scare the pirates who speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, it is actually unknown whether Daming's navy will help himself and others or the pirates in front of him.

Thinking of this, Qian Yi couldn't help sighing, and said: "I just want to go to Europa to avoid disaster, so the imperial court won't let me go?"

The leading pirate snorted, and asked back, "Ask yourself, are you going to Europa to avoid disaster? Or do you have other purposes? If you want to avoid disaster, you can stay in Europe without hesitation." Daming, is there still someone who will trouble you?"

Qian Yi was choked and speechless.

Just like what the pirate in front of me said, when I was in Daming, I had nothing to do, even if Mr. Qian was dragged into a shooting target, no one from the government would come to trouble me as an illegitimate son. If he stayed in Daming, he might not encounter the situation like today.

Facing the danger of beheading with a steel knife, Qian Yi dared not refuse to defend himself: "Who can guarantee that I will be safe if I stay in Daming? If I am not worried about being implicated, why don't I want to stay in Daming? If the official doesn't believe me, he can escort me back to Daming."

The pirate on the opposite side shook his head and said: "From the day Master Qian was arrested to the time Master Qian was taken to shoot targets, it has been more than half a month. During these half a month, no one has troubled you. Bar?"

"From the day Master Qian was shot to the time you contacted the ship to go out to sea, it took another month or so. During this time, no one bothered you, right?"

"No one has troubled you for a month and a half. Now you tell me that you are afraid of being implicated? Are you a sand sculpture or are you treating me as a sand sculpture?"

Speaking of which, the leader of the pirates simply raised the steel knife in his hand, pointed at Qian Yi and said, "Does Qian Xiucai have any last words? If so, tell them quickly. I don't have the patience to waste time with you here. "

Qian Yi's heart sank, and he turned his head to look at those people who were driven to the deck on the left and right, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, then one person should do the work and the other should be responsible. I am the illegitimate son of the prisoner, and I have nothing to say if you kill me." Said, the boss of the boat was bought by me, it is normal for you to kill him, but these people are innocent, please let them go?"

Qian Yi's voice fell, but one of the pirates on the opposite side laughed and said to the leading pirate: "Boss, this guy still hasn't forgotten to buy people's hearts. No wonder his reputation is better than ours."

The leading pirate also smiled and shook his head, and said: "Qian Xiucai is really calculating, if these people are really innocent, I let them go for a moment, I am afraid that in the future these people will say that we, the imperial court, have killed indiscriminately." You are innocent, but at the same time, you should also make a name for Qian Xiucai, saying how you died willingly."

Qian Yi's heart sank, and he was about to refute, but the pirate raised a finger and shook it, and said, "I know more about the innocence of the people on this ship than you, and you, Qian Xiucai, may not be no count at all”

The pirate raised his second finger again: "Second, on this ship, from the boss of the ship to the last one on board, none of you deserve to die."

As the pirate's voice fell, the crowd on the ship suddenly had a commotion.

At the very beginning, these people thought that they really met pirates who came to rob money. After hearing Daming's official words, these people knew that it might be difficult to be good today, but Qian Yi happened to stand at this time. Coming out, this made the rest of the people see a glimmer of hope, and each of them became quiet.

This is like a person who fell into the water and caught a straw, even if he knew that catching the straw would not save his life, he would still hold on to it for the same reason.

It's just that these people didn't expect that the imperial eagle dog in front of them would say so carelessly that they would kill everyone!

Seeing the tendency of the crowd to become chaotic, the leading pirate simply took a musket from the pirate behind him and pulled the gun into the sky. After a loud bang, he frowned and shouted: "Quiet! It's from Hama, I Do you know how much painstaking efforts I have put in so that you can get together on a boat?
Seeing that the crowd was stunned, the leading pirate shouted loudly again: "Take care of everyone! Come one by one, and I will personally send them on their way!"

After finishing speaking, the pirate simply pulled Qian Yi over, pressed Qian Yi's head on the ship's armrest, and shouted: "Remember, from the day you plan to betray Daming, you are no longer the people of Daming— —Without the identity of the people of Ming Dynasty, you are nothing!"

……

Liu Dashan is cold, Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang are also cold, including those behind them who are left behind. Those sages and gentry who sympathized with them before have no one now. Sympathy.

On the contrary, now all the sages and gentry in Daming are cursing Mr. Liu Dashan and Mr. Qian.

Because the imperial court has said that Ming Dynasty will promote shipping, it is currently considering whether to allow civil sages and gentry to participate.

As a result, the sages and gentry of Daming were all excited.

Everyone knows that shipping is a high-risk, high-yield commercial activity, and the so-called high risks in shipping, except for those hidden reefs and deadly undercurrents that no one knows where, the biggest risk is those who seek wealth and kill pirate.

And the sages and gentry in Daming are least worried about pirates, because there is not even a ghost of a pirate in the area from Songjiang Mansion to the Old Port.

As for the old port mentioned above, then go to the direction of West Kunlun and Europa, it belongs to the wild land that the saints can't teach, and it is not unusual for anything to happen in those broken places, let alone pirates.

After all, the sea is very windy and the waves are high, so it is easy to bury a few people. If you really encounter pirates, the Ming Navy may not be able to arrive in the first time, even if you can avenge yourself in the end, but this person Isn't it gone?
Therefore, when the sea merchants in Ming Dynasty knew that ocean trade was more profitable, most of them gathered around Old Port and Lanfang to do business, and few of them were willing to go to Europa.

But if the Ming court wanted to organize shipping, everything would be very different.

Not to mention how many benefits there will be waiting for him, just the fact that there are military bases all over the small broken ball of the Daming Navy to escort, it is enough for these sage gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty to be tempted.

It's a pity that these sages and gentry have been waiting day after day, but they couldn't wait for a definite news, which made these sages and gentlemen very anxious.

"What do you think the imperial court is thinking? Are you going to engage in ocean trade?"

"It will definitely be done, otherwise there will be no news, but I don't know when it will be done."

"Heh, listening to what you have to say is better than listening to what you have to say - if you know when to do it, why are we still sitting here?"

Conversations like this basically spread throughout the large and small teahouses in the coastal provinces of Daming, and basically proved the urgency of these virtuous and gentlemen in Daming to make money.

It's just that the sages and gentry of Ming Dynasty were anxious, but Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs were not in any hurry, and even had the mood to go to the teahouse to drink tea.

Of course, it was with Zhu Jinsong, the great Ming emperor.

Hearing those sages and gentry from the village discussing shipping matters, Zhu Jinsong's mouth curled up unconsciously.

As a sage gentleman from the village said, Daming really wanted to engage in ocean trade, and he did intend to allow private capital to participate. After all, ocean trade was a huge cake, and the Ming court alone could not eat it all.

But, it is one thing to allow private capital to participate, but another to allow them to participate.

Capital is greedy. Once they get involved and taste the sweetness, they will try their best to get more benefits into their pockets.

Games such as passing on risks can only be regarded as relatively low-level methods, and those more powerful capital can even extend their hands to the court.

Even if these sages and gentry in Daming can honestly conduct shipping trade under the arrangement of the imperial court, but after a long time, greed will breed, who can guarantee that they will continue to do business honestly?
Just like Liu Dashan and Mr. Qian, weren't they also honest at the beginning?

Furthermore, if these sages and gentry were directly allowed to participate in shipping from the very beginning, would these sages and gentry honestly accept the heavy taxes set by the imperial court?

Even if he accepts it, he will definitely have some thoughts in his heart, and he may not know how to make troubles in connection in private.

Therefore, when it is time to beat, you have to beat it, and when it is time to endure it, you must endure it, and when these sages and gentlemen are disappointed or even about to despair, they are not allowed to participate.

At that time, they will not care about the high or low tax rate, as long as it makes them make money.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because Zeng Cheng, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, is enough to beat these virtuous gentry and how to make them obedient. There is no need for Zhu Jinsong to go out in person.

The reason why Zhu Jinsong sat in the teahouse with all the bigwigs in the court was purely to deceive people.

Because there were also Louis XVI, George III, Paul I, and Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson was the third leader of the Silly Eagle family. The first leader, Watson, was already cold, and the second leader, John Adams, died within a few years. Now it was Thomas Jefferson's turn to serve as the third bearer.

Thomas Jefferson was not an easy character to deal with. As soon as he came to power, he abolished the extravagant and luxurious style advocated by the second leader John Adams-Washington and Adams. Zhou Li, which Zi had learned from Daming with great difficulty, was inexplicably abolished by this guy.

In addition, while vigorously developing agriculture, this guy continued to infiltrate the Louisiana area, trying to take ownership of the Louisiana area from Louis XVI, and even shouted "Who Occupies New Orleans?" , whoever is the enemy of the foolish eagle".

After all, for the Silly Eagle, if the entire Mississippi River Basin is occupied by France, then the Silly Eagle will lose a main artery of north-south traffic, which is unacceptable anyway.

But the stupid burglar's rebellion angered Louis XVI.

The Louisiana area was originally owned by France, and later lost control of the Louisiana area during the Seven Years' War, and Spain took over Louisiana. However, as the silly eagle stood up from England's colonial rule Afterwards, it continued to expand westward, and Spain felt that it could not deal with the foolish eagle, so it returned the Louisiana area to France.

Louis XVI thinks I can't afford to offend Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty, can I still offend you, the head of the stupid thief eagle?
So when Jefferson sent Monroe and Livingston to Paris to negotiate the purchase of New Orleans and Florida, Louis XVI blew up.
