Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 511 High pressure on military affairs and low pressure on economy and culture
After hearing what Gu Sanmazi said, Zhu Youxiao nodded, and accompanied by a group of naval officers, he walked directly to the location of the magistrate of Macau and the office of Tijusi.

The so-called envoy of Great Britain, Namodo, was directly ignored.

From Zhu Youxiao's point of view, he has a good temper. An envoy from an island country with a big fart dared to see him, His Majesty the Emperor, and yelled directly. , Thanks to my good mood now, otherwise, I might not necessarily take his head to sacrifice the flag when I first arrived in Macau.

At this time, Britain can be regarded as a rising empire in Europe, and even the traditional power of Europe, France, is no longer in its eyes, let alone the Ming Dynasty in East Asia.

Therefore, seeing that His Majesty the Ming Emperor ignored his majestic envoy, Namoduo couldn't help feeling very angry, and shouted again: "Stop! Didn't your Excellency hear what you said? I, Great Britain, want to protest this behavior!"

"Protest ass!"

Zhu Youxiao cursed secretly, and ordered Gu Sanmazi in a low voice: "Why are you standing still, draw a gun and shoot him, it's really noisy, it's this age, these Western fans are still so arrogant, really want to force me to fight Is it possible to have a long memory by going to his house?"

"Yes!"

Gu Sanmazi responded and raised his hand to shoot.

There was only a slap, and in the blink of an eye, a bullet penetrated into the forehead of the British envoy Namodo, and directly punched a one-inch wide blood hole.

Namodo's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground in astonishment.

Before the guards behind him could raise their guns, the snipers of the Fourth Ming Army who were buried everywhere used their rifles to kill them.

At this time, Li Mingrui couldn't help but gave Gu Sanmazi a thumbs up: "Gu Zongbing is good at marksmanship, he didn't even look at him, he raised his hand and shot him dead."

"As Your Majesty said, this person's voice is too loud, and you can tell where he is by listening with your ears," Gu Sanmazi replied with a smile, and continued walking with Zhu Youxiao and others.

And the corpses of the five Britons fell to the ground in a haphazard manner, so Namodo twitched a few more times and vomited several mouthfuls of blood before he died completely.

This is Daming now!

Powerful and indomitable, the so-called British Empire on which the sun never sets in the future is nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the emperor and ministers of Ming Dynasty. No matter whether you protest or not, if you break the taboo, you can only die.

Western officials and businessmen from other countries who came to China looked at these corpses with astonishment.

Although it was people from Great Britain who were killed, they also felt a sense of empathy, but at this moment they could only hide their anger in their hearts, not daring to move at all.

Because they can guess that if they have the slightest movement or show dissatisfaction at this time, not only will they not earn a penny in Daming, they will even sleep here forever!

The corpses of these Westerners were dragged on the boat by the men hired by the magistrate’s office in Macau, and then they sailed to the distant sea to feed the sharks directly. Dead foreigners from various countries are not allowed to be buried on the land of Ming Dynasty, so as not to pollute the soil of Ming Dynasty, so most of them are directly thrown into the sea and fed directly to the fish.

Because of this, most of the Western businessmen who are now trading with Ming Dynasty behaved relatively well-behaved, even if they were sometimes bullied by the local Han people, sometimes they could only bear with it, and did not dare to show the slightest disrespect.

Guan Shaoning, the magistrate of Macau and the commissioner of the city ship promotion office, is a group of Jinshi admitted in the eighth year of Tianqi, and he can be regarded as the disciple of the emperor who has been truly promoted by Zhu Youxiao since he became emperor.

In order to show that he attaches great importance to him, Zhu Youxiao also specially gave him the official title of Youqian Capital Censor, who is not restricted by the governor of Guangdong and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and is directly responsible to himself. He can be regarded as the third person in the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi. , even the censor can only rank fourth.

At this time, Guan Shaoning had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Youxiao came, he hurried to salute, but Zhu Youxiao immediately helped him up, and the two monarchs and ministers exchanged greetings for a while before entering the city.

Because the Frangji people live here all the year round, Macau is regarded as the most Western-style town among the big towns in Ming Dynasty. Even the magistrate's yamen is a Gothic building made of marble, which looks gorgeous and fashionable.

The same is true for other buildings on the street, and there are even many churches. Zhu Youxiao does not strictly prohibit preaching, but it must be under the control of the imperial court. There is too much shock.

If it is said that most of the merchants in Guangzhou are still merchants from the Ming Dynasty who are engaged in various large and small businesses, but in Macau, most of them are Western shops.

The entire city of Macau is almost full of people from the West and even from India. They form the underlying foundation of Macau. Except for some craftsmen, most of the Han people here are government officials, so this place is still full of foreign style, but Now the Han people are in the first class. In some places, Westerners are not allowed to enter casually. For example, in the inner city where the magistrate’s yamen is located, once a foreigner comes within ten steps, he will be directly shot to death.

Now when Zhu Youxiao came to the gate of the inner city, he saw the bluestone slabs still glowing red, so he could guess that a group of people were killed here not long ago, and then look at the ones hanging on the gate of the inner city. The head of the Xiyang Fan couldn't help but said to Guan Shaoning: "I asked you to manage Macau, not to turn it into a hell on earth, but to manage this money-making place well. Don't just introduce severe punishments and laws, so as not to scare you to death. These Western Fans can also be given some encouragement as appropriate, such as allowing Western Fans with higher tax credits to apply for residence permits, enjoy the same children's education rights and other welfare benefits as the local people of Ming Dynasty, and some commodities that are encouraged to trade can also be appropriately reduced taxes."

"Wei Chen understands, but there are still many of these Western fans who don't understand the rules, and Wei Chen has to use a few heads to establish rules. For those Western businessmen who obey the rules, Wei Chen is polite, and Wei Chen and Gu The general soldiers promised that as long as their goods were hijacked by pirates within our jurisdiction, we would be obliged to help them defeat the pirates and take back the goods, but only if they had tax records in Macau or other cities in Daming.”

"In addition, Weichen also opened a Macao foreign affairs school. The first is to train some interpreters who are familiar with overseas, and the second is to allow some children of Westerners who are either rich, knowledgeable, and good morals to receive education. Subsidy, and has been approved by the Ministry of Education, they can also participate in the imperial examination, and the Ministry of Officials has also received your approval, and they can also be officials in the court in the future."

After Guan Shaoning said, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Culturally adopt the strategy of tolerance and peaceful assimilation; It's the best policy!"
