Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 373
The envoy sent by Zheng Zhilong and Turia is a red fan named Ai Gan, but he has the nationality of Frangji, but he has been serving Flangji's armed caravan from beginning to end.

However, this Ai Gan is also a master of the Ming Dynasty, and can even speak fluent Fengyang Mandarin. He has lived in the capital for a few years, has a good relationship with Matteo Ricci, and even met Xu Guangqi once.

But this person is not willing to cooperate with the Ming court, and even somewhat despises the ancient empire of Ming. In his opinion, this late empire will be abandoned by the times sooner or later.

Even when he met Shang Zhouzuo, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he was still arrogant. He didn't think that the Ming official in front of him, who was dressed in a vermilion official robe and wearing cloud pattern black gauze, had much knowledge, so he looked down on Shang Zhouzuo a little bit. What's more, he still has his own ships covering the sky outside the city to rely on, so he said even more confidently:
"Your Excellency, you have also seen that the city of Guangzhou has been surrounded by my Frangji's warships. It can be said that as long as we are willing, this city of Guangzhou can be turned into ruins in a moment, and as long as we Are you willing to sign a document that allows us to give the Macao concession to us for 100 years, and compensate us for the 200 million silver dollars we lost in the siege of Guangzhou. We will immediately withdraw from the siege of Guangzhou, so that we can also keep What do you think of the safety of the people in this city?"

Shang Zhouzuo couldn't help laughing. Although he already felt that the blue-eyed, curly-haired and yellow-haired Western fan was looking up to the sky, he still didn't show too much emotion. He just said: "You guys I don’t know if the city of Guangzhou can be turned into ruins within a few moments, but I can determine how long you can live now.”

Naturally, Shang Zhouzuo was also worried that these Westerners would really attack the city of Guangzhou, but he could not let Macau's imperial edict come forward. The news of the upcoming Nanyang Fleet brought by Jin Yiwei prompted Shang Zhouzuo, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, to decide to continue He strictly carried out His Majesty Zhu Youxiao's will, so when faced with the aggressive emissary named Ai Gan, he didn't choose to back down, but said something to the emissary Ai Gan lightly and then turned coldly commanded:
"Take his head to see that Baron named Turia, and tell them, this is what I mean by Daming, either flatten my Guangzhou prefecture, or retreat honestly, and want us to succumb to it, No way! Even without Guangzhou Fucheng, we still have Zhaoqing and Wuzhou, as long as Daming exists, you will learn a lesson!"

After Shang Zhouzuo finished speaking, two guards came over and grabbed Ai Gan's left and right arms, but Ai Gan was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Shang Zhouzuo would directly kill him, so he couldn't help but sternly said: "Your Excellency Governor, What are you going to do, aren't you afraid that our Western artillery will make you die without a place to bury you?"

Shang Zhouzuo was too lazy to talk to the Western envoy named Ai Gan, and just waved his hand.

The two guards dragged Ai Gan away, and Ai Gan couldn't help being anxious. How could he have thought that he would be executed before he could speak, so he couldn't help shouting: "Dear Governor, what's the matter?" , We are easy to discuss, I very much hope that there will be no war disputes between us, so as long as you have this sincerity, I can help you persuade the Baron again!"

Shang Zhouzuo didn't answer, and still buried himself in sorting out the files.

At this time, Ai Gan had been pulled out of the government office, and his head had been pushed into the stone slot, but Ai Gan was still unwilling, and shouted: "Your Excellency, the great governor, can you persuade me again?" Your chance, I can help you persuade our lord baron to give up the 200 million silver dollar indemnity request, otherwise you can reduce the rental period of Macau, and change it to 50 years, it can't be less!"

"Shut up! It's not your turn to point fingers at my Da Ming's territory," one guard couldn't help shouting, but at this moment, another guard raised his knife.

Seeing this, Ai Gan couldn't help crying: "Lord, why is this, why did I end my life like this!"

Just when Ai Gan shouted in puzzlement, the guard's knife had already been hacked off, blood splashed all over the ground immediately.

When the guards of the Governor's Biaoying presented Ai Gan's head, Shang Zhouzuo didn't say much, but his heart was full of mixed feelings. In just two months, he had killed two people in a row, one was One of the officials appointed by the imperial court is Xiyangfan, and this can be regarded as the most iron-blooded time since he served as a local feudal official.

……

"hateful!"

At the same time, Frangji was also one of the chief planners of the siege of Guangzhou City. When Turia saw that the envoy he sent came back with only one head, he couldn't help being furious.

Turia felt as if he had been slapped heavily by Shang Zhouzuo, feeling a strong humiliation.

And Zheng Zhilong was not feeling well. As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Shang Zhouzuo made it clear that he was unwilling to compromise. This may also show the willingness of the court. He is still naive, but the court will continue to accommodate Zheng Zhilong because of his strength. I have to admit that the court is not so easily intimidated.

"Mr. Zheng, do you think it is necessary for us to besiege the city of Guangzhou and consume food and fresh water all the time? Since these smart dogs are so ungrateful, I think we might as well just attack his Guangzhou mansion! They know how powerful they are! Those who dare to kill the baron, the baron can't wait to make them all be punished by God!"

Turia gritted his teeth and said without waiting for Zheng Zhilong to express his position, he decisively ordered all the warships to move forward and adjust their positions to prepare to attack Guangzhou Fucheng.

And Zheng Zhilong finally decided: "Go ahead and follow Baron Turia's order. If you can break through the city of Guangzhou, you can let him loot for three days!"

As soon as Zheng Zhilong gave the order, one person hurried in: "The third master is here!"

"Third brother?" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help being startled, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Isn't the third guy monitoring the South China Sea Fleet of the imperial court? Why did he come here suddenly? Where is the South China Sea Fleet now? Is there any news?"

Just when Zheng Zhilong was puzzled, Zheng Zhibao broke in first, and knelt down to Zheng Zhilong on one knee: "Brother, the third brother is stupid, and he was fooled by Gu Sanmazi, causing dozens of ships to be destroyed. There are only about three hundred brothers who came back."

"You, you fought against the South China Sea Fleet?" Zheng Zhilong was a little surprised, and asked again: "Didn't I warn you to only monitor and deter, and not to act rashly?"

Zheng Zhibao also felt aggrieved, and said: "It's not that I want to confront that Gu Sanmazi head-on, but that Gu Sanmazi is too hateful, he even took the initiative to bombard us, little brother, I am impatient and I don't want to be passively beaten, so I just fight with him." They did it, but they fell for him because they underestimated the enemy for a while."
