Chapter 2309: Hong Kong Name Qingmei, God of Water and Fire

Why did Ye Qingmei let Magellan return to Qingbei with only a thousand sailors to protect the property?Aren't you afraid that the naval forces of Chu and Ming countries will intercept them halfway?
I'm really not afraid.

Chu's navy is still an inland navy, and it doesn't have the ability to sail at present. Moreover, the Chu's navy is deployed in Jingzhou, and there are not many navy in Jiaozhou.

As for the navy of the Ming Dynasty, although it has the ability to navigate, it is difficult to capture the other party's traces in the vast sea without radar technology unless the two parties agree to meet or know the other party's channel in advance. Like going to heaven.

Leaving aside the fact that the Ming Dynasty did not even know that Magellan returned with a large amount of wealth.

Even if they knew, they didn't know Magellan's route. After all, Magellan's route could change at any time, so naturally there was no way to find Magellan's trace.

Even if he takes a step back, there are spies around Magellan, and they pass through the net and leak the route of the fleet, it is still impossible for the Ming Dynasty to ambush Magellan.

The reason is simple. The shipbuilding technology of the Ming State has lagged far behind that of the Qin State.

Fighting, Magellan naturally couldn't beat the Mingchu navy, but if he fled later, with the speed of the Ming warships, he couldn't catch up with the Daqin warships at all.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Qingmei was confident and bold, and let Magellan lead a thousand sailors to escort the huge amount of money back.

Not long after Magellan left, Ye Qingmei not only completed the business connection with the leaders of all parties, but also negotiated the time and share of the next transaction.

After doing these things, Ye Qingmei could actually leave, but she didn't. Instead, she continued to discuss the construction and management of the port with the major forces.

Although this simple port was led by the Ruan and Yue families, Annan did not only have the Ruan and Yue families. In addition to their two families, Annan also had eight other forces. Naturally, the Ruan and Yue families would not be allowed to control the port. dominance.

In addition to Annan's local forces, Nanban also wanted to intervene in the dominance of the port.

With the opening of the sea trade between Daqin and the major forces in Nanyang, even a fool knows that this port is a chicken that can lay a steady stream of golden eggs.

Nanban was already poor, and both internal development and transactions with Daqin required a lot of capital income, so naturally they also wanted to share some of the benefits from the big cake of the seaport.

Ruan Fuying and Li Gongyun were naturally unwilling to lose their interests. Even in the face of persecution from the leaders of many forces, they still refused to give up an inch.

Ye Qingmei saw that all parties were constantly arguing, so she proposed to set up a [-]-mile radius of the port as a free trade zone, which would be jointly managed by multiple forces, and any force was prohibited from going to war in the trading zone, otherwise all forces would jointly attack.

As soon as this suggestion came out, it was endorsed by various forces, including the Ruan Yue family.

It doesn't matter if you don't agree, after all, you can't stay in such a stalemate forever.

The purpose of their building the port is to do business, and to strengthen themselves through commercial exchanges with Daqin. If the port is destroyed, it will be harmful to them, so it is natural to support the practice of the free trade zone.

As for the management rights of the port?

It is definitely impossible for the Ruan and Yue families to monopolize it. In this case, it is better to bring in Daqin and use the interests of the port to hold Daqin in.

In the end, after a day-long negotiation, the port was jointly managed by Daqin, Ruan, Yue, and Nanman, while the other eight forces were excluded.

Although the eight Annan forces were dissatisfied with this, they could only accept it. After all, the eight forces were indeed too weak to be ranked with the four forces.

Ye Qingmei originally didn't want to participate in port management, but the Ruan, Vietnam and Man families insisted on pulling Daqin into the gang in order to lock Daqin in, and they took the initiative to hand over a lot of benefits, so Ye Qingmei naturally had no reason to refuse.

After the meeting, Ruan Fuying said with a compliment and flattery to Ye Qingmei with a smile: "Master Ye, this harbor has no name yet, why not let Master Ye name it."

It's okay not to please, after all, the arms and various supplies they need are all supplied by Daqin's family, so naturally they have to please Daqin's father.

Seeing this, Li Gongyun couldn't help scolding Ruan Fuying for being shameless in his heart, but he immediately echoed: "This seaport was originally built for the purpose of doing business with Daqin, so it should be named after Lord Ye."

As soon as this remark came out, the other eight forces also followed suit, and they all asked Ye Qingmei to name the harbor.

Ye Qingmei was a little flattered, after all, the leaders of so many forces, but surrounded by a woman to flatter her, this feeling is quite strange.

"Since this is the case, the official will be disrespectful."

Ye Qingmei showed a thoughtful look, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't we call it Qingmei Port."

The corners of Ge Nie Weizhuang's mouth twitched when he heard the words, they never thought that Ye Qingmei's face would be so thick that she even named the port after her own name, isn't this a disguised way to make a name for herself?
"Good name."

Ruan Fuying showed admiration on his face. He has recently become obsessed with Han culture and is extremely fascinated by the poetry of the Central Plains, so he couldn't help but read Li Qingzhao's "Dian Jiang Lips·Cu Ba Swing"

"Leave in shame, lean on the door and look back, but smell the green plum. As expected of Mr. Ye, the name is so poetic."

Ruan Fuying thought that the "Qingmei" Ye Qingmei mentioned was the "green plum" in Li Qingzhao's poems, but she didn't know that Ye Qingmei was just naming it after her own name.

The rest of the people didn't know the meaning, and they all followed suit, saying that Ye Qingmei's name was well obtained, which made Ye Qingmei even more embarrassed.

To be honest, Ye Qingmei's knowledge of ancient poetry is mediocre. As for Li Qingzhao's poems, she only knows the most famous ones, and this "Dian Jiang Lips" is obviously not in her knowledge reserve.

Even overseas foreigners know Li Qingzhao's poems, but she, a Han, doesn't. This also makes her determined to make up for her poems.

It just so happens that there are still many books in the cargo that have not been sold, so you can take them out and have a look when you are bored while sailing.

Seeing Ye Qingmei's embarrassing expression, and the leaders who obviously don't understand anything, but are still flattering without thinking, Zhu Rong suddenly burst out laughing happily.

"You people, you know that you don't understand and pretend to understand. The light eyebrows mentioned by Mr. Ye are the "light" of light and heavy, and the "eyebrows" of the eyebrows are not the green plums in your mouth."

Everyone was a little confused, but after seeing Ye Qingmei's expression, they all knew that Zhu Rong's words were true. They really thought too much, and they flattered them all wrongly, so they couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"Okay, green eyes reflected in the water, light eyebrows in the distance, this 'light eyebrow' has a better intention than that 'green plum', as expected of Master Ye."

Li Gongyun continued to compliment, in short, flattering, no matter what name Ye Qingmei chooses, he can give you a compliment, which also makes Ye Qingmei unable to complain.

After discussing with Qi Jiguang, Ye Qingmei decided to leave a minister and [-] soldiers to stay in Qingmei Port. This arrangement can not only manage the port, but also strengthen ties with major forces.

After finalizing all matters, Ye Qingmei was naturally ready to continue sailing, but what she didn't know was that at this time, the Nanman camp was having a heated discussion because of her.

"Princess Zhu Rong, General Gonggong, although Daqin has made deals with all parties in Annan, there are still more than 300 million stones of supplies on board. If we, Nanman, can take it over, we will never lack weapons again. equipment and supplies."

Meng Huo said greedily, and encouraged Gonggong and Zhu Rong to grab Daqin's supplies directly.

"No."

Zhu Rong resolutely refused, and said with a cold face: "Da Qin came to do business with our Nanman with good intentions. If we, the Nanman, rob Da Qin's supplies by force, we will completely offend Da Qin, the strongest country. Once Da Qin ruled the Central Plains in the future, our Nanman Maybe it will be a disaster of extinction because of this."

Meng Huo was full of disbelief, and said with disdain: "Although the Great Qin is strong, it has not yet unified the Central Plains. If it really unified the Central Plains, it will definitely become the enemy of our southern country.

So if this batch of supplies is robbed, it will be robbed. Can Daqin still fly over to attack my Nanban? "

The coldness in Zhu Rong's eyes was even worse, and he said coldly: "Meng Huo, you have never been to Daqin, and you don't know how powerful Daqin is, so you dare to say this. If you have seen Daqin's power with your own eyes, you will never dare to say this idea."

Under Zhu Rong's icy eyes, Meng Huo couldn't help shivering. Although he still didn't care about it, he didn't dare to continue to speak against Zhu Rong.

Zhu Rong turned his head to look at Gonggong, seeing that he still had a troubled expression on his face, his heart skipped a beat.

"Gonggong, do you really want to listen to Meng Huo, an idiot, and turn Daqin, who should be a friend, into an enemy?" Zhu Rong said angrily.

"Don't get excited, sister Zhu Rong, don't get excited first."

Gonggong laughed, he was really moved.

The value of this batch of goods is too great. If Nanman can get it, the overall strength will be doubled directly, and several years of development time will be saved. How can Gonggong not be tempted by this?

But Gonggong was eager to return to his heart, but he also knew that this batch of goods was a hot potato. He neither dared to snatch it nor thought he would be able to snatch it.

If Nanman really took action, Annan and other major forces would not agree, and would even help Daqin attack Nanman together.

In Meng Huo's view, the 10,000+ Annan army could not defeat the 5000 second-line Chu army, so their [-] men were enough to sweep the [-] to [-] Annan army present.

The previous Gonggong might have thought the same way, but now he obviously doesn't think so anymore. After all, the [-] to [-] Annan troops have already been equipped with the equipment bought from Daqin, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than before.

Moreover, Annan has more than 5000 to [-] troops. He really offended these forces to death, and their [-] people may not be able to return to the Nanman.

In addition, Daqin's navy is not a decoration. From the perspective of Gonggong, it can be seen that the Daqin sailors are all elite and equipped with a large number of powerful crossbows. Whether the Nanman can break through the Daqin crossbow array is a problem.

It was precisely because of this that Gonggong did not dare to grab the goods by force. After all, once it started, it could only do this one deal, and it would no longer be able to trade with Daqin in the future.

Comparing the two, if it cannot be 100% successful, Gong Gong naturally dare not take action easily.

Zhu Rong's mission to Daqin this time has finally established a good relationship with Daqin, so naturally he doesn't want to be destroyed by Gonggong.

Zhu Rong forced Gonggong to make reassurances again and again, but he was still not at ease, so he went to Ye Qingmei's side overnight and revealed the situation on the Nanman side to Ye Qingmei, hoping that Ye Qingmei could go to sea as soon as possible.

As long as the Daqin fleet is at sea, the Nanman army will be beyond their reach, so they will naturally give up the idea of ​​robbing them.

Ye Qingmei was shocked when she heard the words, completely unaware that Gong Gong, the guy who said 'never forget friendship', secretly planned to rob supplies.

However, after a short period of shock, Ye Qingmei quickly calmed down. Not only was the Daqin warship full of armaments, but it also had a lot of weapons on board. It was impossible for the Nanman army to break through the fleet's firepower net with such a small army.

If Gonggong really dared to come, Ye Qingmei was 100% sure that the [-] elite Nanban would be left behind, so he declined Zhu Rong's plan to go to sea in advance.

The next day, Ruan Fuying, Li Gongyun and other major leaders in Annan, as well as Gonggong Zhu Rong of Nanman, after holding a farewell ceremony for Ye Qingmei, planned to send Ye Qingmei to sea together.

Before parting, Ye Qingmei smiled pointedly at Gong Gong: "I'm so disappointed, I thought there would be some idiots who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth would come to grab the supplies of my Daqin fleet."

Gonggong couldn't help being startled, and felt a little guilty, forced a smile and said: "Great Qin is the most powerful country in the world, who is so blind and dares to strengthen Qin's things."

"Yes, this envoy also thinks so, but there are always some self-righteous idiots in this world, General Gong Gong, don't you think so?" Ye Qingmei said with a smile.

"Uh...this."

Gonggong's forehead could not help but seep cold sweat, he naturally heard that Ye Qingmei was mocking him, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Ye Qingmei said to herself: "Although the number of Daqin fleet led by this emissary is small, its combat power is not weak. There are six thousand crossbows alone, and two thousand crossbows on the warship. With a frame, tens of thousands of arrows can be shot in one round of attack.

With such firepower, even if an army of [-] invades, our Daqin Fleet can defeat it and retreat calmly. Those small forces with no more than [-] will die if they come.

It's just that I didn't expect that the envoy was about to leave, and no one faction dared to do it. It seems that this time there is no way to gain power. "

Hearing this, Gonggong's back was already dripping with cold sweat, and he felt even more grateful that he didn't listen to the idiot Meng Huo. If he really went to grab the supplies of the Daqin Fleet, he might not be able to return few of his five thousand elites.

Ye Qingmei yelled at Gong Gong face to face, she was naturally extremely refreshed in her heart, and Gong Gong was wronged, so naturally she couldn't refute it, but Ye Qingmei said 'idiot', and he was still annoyed when he heard it.

Gonggong took a step forward, approaching Ye Qingmei, and said in a deep voice: "The idiot in the mouth of the honorable envoy, what if he hijacks the honorable envoy and uses it to threaten Daqin?"

Ye Qingmei looked at Gonggong as if he was looking at a fool, then pointed to Ge Nie Weizhuang beside him, and said: "The two guards of this envoy are both half-step masters, and they are even better than most masters together. Still strong.

Not long ago, they were the ones who captured Chong Lou, the great master of the Demon Dao, so it was not easy to hijack this envoy. "

Gonggong couldn't help but gasp, he never thought that a mere envoy would be protected by two half-step masters, has the masters of Daqin flooded to such a degree?
