The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

When the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people.

This is of course a pretense.

But the evidence of the vassal's crime is actually very beneficial to Zhu Ying.

Because with the development of the vassal state, it will inevitably gradually get rid of its dependence on Ming Dynasty. When it is strong enough, it can even listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement.

Looking at it now, whether it is King Yan, King Qin, King Jin, or King Qi, they are all very obedient.

Among them, Zhu Ying is on the one hand, and the biggest factor is their fear of their father Zhu Yuanzhang.

If Zhu Yuanzhang was gone, even if Zhu Ying could firmly suppress them, it would not be so simple to be as obedient as they are now.

Now, with the delivery of an edict, their vassal state can be easily deprived, and even if any vassal king is demoted to a commoner, there will be no resistance.

But with only Zhu Ying's words, people like King Yan would not be so well-behaved.

The biggest possibility is that the four vassal kings united to fight against Zhu Ying in the land of Wa Kingdom.

This is much more difficult than Zhu Yunwen's death of Zhu Di in history.

After all, the country of Wa is so far away from Ming Dynasty, even if Zhu Ying sent troops to conquest, the four feudal kings could choose to annex the country of Wa, or cooperate with the country of Wa.

The result is foreordained.

But this would also shatter Ming Dynasty's vassal state policy.

Of course, Zhu Ying dared to do this because he had absolute confidence in the development of Ming Dynasty far surpassing the other vassal states.

When technology took off, the vassal state could only obediently serve as the frontier barrier of Ming Dynasty.

"Give me the account book, and then you will pass on the account book to my uncles and let them know that I have the evidence of smuggling."

Zhu Ying ordered after a little thought.

This is righteousness, and it is also the handle of the vassal kings.

If Zhu Ying made their tax evasion and smuggling of contraband public, then the vassal kings would suffer a major blow in terms of reputation.

Don't underestimate this 'name'.

The so-called good will help more than others, and in many cases these reputations will often bring many chain effects.

For example, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu depend on winning or losing their reputation.

Not to mention that the mouth of the world is now in the hands of Zhu Ying.

A big killer like Di Bao is like the tongue of all living beings.

People in the world can only hear what Zhu Ying wants the world to hear, and no one can hear what Zhu Ying does not want him to hear.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Guan Xianghai had already given up struggling, so His Highness can do whatever he wants.

Xin'an County Government.

A large number of guards from the public security station have surrounded this place, and the yamen guards are nervously guarding the gate.

Two waves of people formed a confrontation.

"Stop making unnecessary struggles. This is an arrest mission issued by the Fucheng Public Security Department. I don't want to make it too rigid. Let Liu Zhixian come out."

Standing at the front and leading the team was the director of the Department of Public Security.

Obviously, there are hundreds of servants under the public security station, and these dozens of yamen servants cannot resist at all.

A sigh came from behind.

The county magistrate of Xin'an, who was wearing the magistrate's official uniform, came out, looked at the number of guards around him, his eyes darkened, and he smiled wryly, "I didn't expect it to be so fast. Is this the dignity that Director Zhang gave me?"

Director Zhang shook his head slightly: "I believe Liu Zhixian will not resist arrest, but just wants to delay the time."

"But it doesn't make any sense. We have three teams going to the Hong Kong Dental Clinic. I think we have already arrested all of them at this moment."

According to the current establishment of the Department of Public Security, a team has ten people, and a team has a hundred people.

The staffing of the public security station is probably five to eight corps depending on the situation in the county seat.

Liu Zhixian asked unwillingly, "What about Director Li and the others?"

Director Zhang is not the security office of Xin'an County, but the county next door.

This is a cross-county arrest operation.

Because of the information obtained from above, the Xin'an County Public Security Bureau has already joined forces with the Xin'an County Government.

Director Zhang shook his head: "I can't inquire about these things. For me, the arrest of Liu Zhixian and the investigation of the Hong Kong dental office are the orders I received, and I don't know about other parties."

Liu Zhixian knew that for this sake, he was completely ruined.

He didn't expect that within a few days of receiving the news that His Royal Highness had arrived on Hong Kong Island, the crimes he had committed would be completely exposed, leaving no room for turning around.

In fact, as soon as he got the news, he had already arranged his way out.

For him who often wanders along the coast, as long as he can get on a boat and leave Daming, he can completely protect himself.

His brother-in-law, the magistrate of the Guangzhou government, has connections in the country of Wa, so he can make proper arrangements.

Officials who have committed crimes like myself will also be treated with courtesy when they arrive in the vassal state, and there is even a high probability that they can continue to be officials.

Unfortunately, it was only a day late.

He thought it would not be so soon, and wanted to wait for news from his brother-in-law.

If you can't wait today, then run away tomorrow morning.

It's a pity it's too late now.

Not only the county magistrate Liu, but also officials like the county magistrate, chief secretary, Dian Shi, and the director of the public security station were basically arrested.

It means that the leadership team of Xin'an County has been completely emptied.

Liu Zhixian was still thinking about his brother-in-law's rescue, and decided to bear all the blame.

He didn't know that the situation in the Guangzhou government office was no different from his.

Even in order to stabilize the situation, even the garrison of Guangzhou Mansion was dispatched.

It is actually not troublesome for the officials to solve it. At most, they are worried that they will get the news in advance and abscond.

The military and the government have been separated, and officials have no possibility of confronting the imperial court.

The most troublesome part is the handling of Hong Kong Island.

The investment of those foreign businessmen is naturally an illegal act. In fact, they don't even have a formal land deed. The Hong Kong Dental Bank uses a simple agreement to let these people pay the money obediently. They have been trying to delay the processing of the land deed.

It can be said that the vast majority of foreign businessmen are victims.

Five hundred guards, and a local thousand households dispatched directly to Hong Kong Island.

And began to call craftsmen to build the magistrate's office in Hong Kong.

At the same time, a notice was issued, announcing that Hong Kong Island belonged to Daming, all land deeds belonged to the imperial court, and all land boundaries occupied by foreign businessmen on the island were illegal.

This time, a stone suddenly caused a thousand waves.

A large number of foreign businessmen became excited.

They have flocked to Hong Kong dental clinics.

However, the dental office in Hong Kong has been sealed off, and the angry crowd had nowhere to vent their anger, and finally attacked the place where Qianhu was located.

This is currently the only official location on Hong Kong Island.

"You are a fraud. We have spent so much hard-earned money and risked our lives to earn almost half of it into the construction here. With just one notice, all our property will be confiscated. Dissatisfied!!!"

"That's right, we don't accept it. We have an agreement made by your government in our hands. It should be legal and valid. The homeland we have built with great difficulty is going to be lost like this."

"This is an internal issue of your Daming government. We foreign businessmen should not be held accountable. You should recognize the legitimacy of our house boundaries."

"I know the senior officials of your government. If you don't give us a satisfactory answer, I will definitely sue you, even if I go to the capital, I will sue you. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will understand us."

"We will send a letter to the envoys stationed in the capital to tell them what happened here and the unfair treatment we received. You will definitely be punished."

The sentiment is exciting.

Originally, most of Hong Kong Island were foreign businessmen, and in just half a day, thousands of people gathered.

And this number is constantly increasing.

Even foreign businessmen passing by chose to join such a parade.

In fact, there are some businessmen who know that the procedures for building their houses are illegal, but they colluded with the Hong Kong dental office and the Xin'an County Government to form a community of interests.

The instigation of this parade was also initiated by these people.

Several leaders did not participate in the parade, but watched the indignant parade outside the procession.

One of them said: "We have gathered maritime merchants from at least a dozen countries. The court of Ming Dynasty must have attached great importance to it. Besides, we really spent money. They should give us fair treatment."

"As long as this parade is successful, the homes we build will be legal, and the government will have to apply for a land deed for us."

"With the title deed, according to the current laws of the Ming Dynasty, we have the possibility to join the household registration of the Ming Dynasty."

The eyes of the people next to him lit up.

They really wanted to get Daming's household registration.

Because only when they get the household registration of Ming Dynasty, can they be eligible to purchase more luxury goods such as porcelain and silk, and then obtain more benefits.

And as people of Ming Dynasty, they can hold up the flag of Ming Dynasty maritime merchants on sea ships, get the protection of Daming Navy, and guarantee the safety of navigation to a great extent.

The benefits presented here are very different.

In fact, the illegal construction of Hong Kong Island was not the idea of ​​the Xin'an County Government at all, but was proposed by these foreign businessmen. They contributed a large amount of gold and silver as bait to implement such a plan.

Not only the Xin'an County Government, but most of the coastal areas will be similarly tempted.

It's just that Hong Kong Island is the most special. There is no government office of Ming Dynasty here, which gives a lot of room for manipulation.

They even want to set up their own management organization here on Hong Kong Island, and form the management boundaries of various countries in Ming Dynasty, so as to achieve the possibility of independent management, and thus accumulate more benefits.

For example, evading Ming Dynasty tariffs and building armed forces.

Don't underestimate these foreign maritime merchants.

After the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, they also quickly accumulated a lot of wealth.

A piece of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty may be sold for only a few coins, but when these merchants sell it overseas, such as Central Asia, or even India, it is worth dozens or even hundreds of coins.

Aristocrats from afar would even offer gold in exchange.

A robe made of oriental silk is the face of an aristocrat. As we all know, only the silk of the oriental country is the most sold item.

pity.

They didn't understand Daming's choice for rioting.

In many countries, because of the sparse population, the government often does not massacre businessmen.

But here, it's Daming.

"The barbarians who don't know how to live or die dare to attack our Daming army stronghold."

Qianhusuo Zheng Qianhu Xiji looked at the crowd outside and said with a sneer.

Deputy Qianhu next to him grinned: "Brothers haven't exercised for a long time. These rebellions happen to be our military exploits. I don't know who gave them the courage to rush into our Qianhu Office."

"My lord, give an order, my big knife is already hungry!"

Xi Ji's face became serious, and he shouted: "Pass my military order, the whole army is dispatched, and the riot is suppressed!!!"

"Master Qianhu has an order, the whole army is dispatched to suppress the riot!!!"

"Open the gate of the village, kill!!!"

There are eight hundred soldiers in a thousand households, and they are for thousands of households.

When the military order was issued and the gate of the village was opened, a total of [-] soldiers lined up and came out.

In front, there are a hundred swords and shields, and behind them are a hundred firecrackers.

"What are they going to do, are they going to attack us?"

"No, they definitely dare not open fire."

"Wait for their chief to come out and negotiate."

The Yangyi at the front were obviously panicked, even though they had thousands of people.

But on the opposite side is the regular army of Ming Dynasty.

Almost most of the officers and soldiers wear armor, they have spears, swords, shields, and even muskets.

The marchers did not have any weapons in their hands.

In a real fight, it would be a massacre of hundreds of people against thousands of people.

Xi Ji looked at it coldly, and scolded: "If you don't disperse within ten breaths, you will bear the consequences."

There were a lot of translation voices in the parade, and of course most people here can hear basic Chinese.

Facing the dominance of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the parade team became somewhat chaotic.

They don't want to lose their lives.

However, in a crowded situation, it is very difficult to get out. If there is no order, it will even cause panic and stampede.

"Oh, if you don't listen to dissuasion, then you can't blame Xi, fire!!!"

As the military order to open fire was communicated.

Under the cover of the sword and shield hand, the firecrackers in the front row directly ignited their matchlock guns.

"Damn, how dare they, how dare they!!!"

The behind-the-scenes masterminds who were watching the show from afar, their eyes turned red when they saw the matchlock gun nodding, and they shouted in fear without bothering to hide their positions.

And in the front row of the parade, looking at the burning match, there was a cry of fear, and they turned around and wanted to leave.

Bang bang bang! ! !

Amidst the gunshots, a large amount of smoke rose, and at the same time, his painful screams came.

At such a close range, the gunfire soldiers don't need to aim too precisely, they just shoot directly at the crowd.

Hundreds of firecrackers formed a three-shot formation and exploded directly in the parade.

The thrust formed by the explosion of gunpowder caused the lead bullets to explode freely among the crowd.

Rows of people in the parade kept falling down. The crowd was too dense, and nearly a hundred people fell down immediately.

The arquebus could not kill with one shot, and the wounded could only cry in pain.

In fact, for the thousands of people who marched, a hundred people is not too many.

But no one had the courage to attack the positions of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

For a time, thousands of people began to flee for their lives.
