Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 131 Makassar Fraud Gang Goes Online (Please Subscribe!)

In mid-October, what is different from the busy Qiongzhou Mansion is the Qing Dynasty Guangzhou Mansion.

"Jinfutai! (Governor Jin Jun of Guangdong) is not good." Cai Zhang, the commander of the navy on the right, hurried into the yamen.

After the Guangdong navy was abolished, it was changed to the right-wing navy, and Cai Zhang was now the commander-in-chief of the right-wing navy.

The governor of Guangdong seldom took care of military affairs, but at this point in time, Jin Guangzu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, flirted with the rebel Shang Zhixin, and was now thrown to Yunnan to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Therefore, the governor Jin Jun is now fully responsible for Guangdong affairs.

Jin Jun stood up and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? Could it be that Yang Yandi's gang of pirates are back?"

Under the instruction of Lord Guoxing, Yang Yandi repeatedly attacked Qiongzhou Island. Unfortunately, in 1681, he was defeated by Cai Zhang, the commander of the navy on the right, and ran to Guangnan Kingdom in the west in frustration.

Therefore, when Cai Zhang said something bad happened, Governor Jin Jun thought it was Yang Yandi who had returned.

Cai Zhang, the commander-in-chief, shook his head, "Jinfutai, Qiongzhou Island was occupied by the Mingzheng pirates from Fujian, and now there is no news on the island, and the coastal areas of Guangdong are now within the attacking range of the pirates!"

"What!" The governor Jin Jun was startled, and said in disbelief, "It's unreasonable, are the officers and soldiers along the coast trying to stop the thieves?"

Cai Zhang was also full of helplessness: "Master Futai, you also know the situation of the navy. It was a fluke to drive away Yang Yandi. You must know that the pirate fleet on the opposite side is not even the strongest Fujian navy in the Qing Dynasty. Guangdong It's dangerous!"

"This..." Jin Jun froze for a moment, turned his hands away, and said after thinking for a long time: "This matter should be reported to the Holy Majesty for a ruling. Our duty is to guard Guangdong before the holy will comes down!"

After wandering for a few steps, he made up his mind and said: "The people along the coast, move another five miles inland! Let the Guangdong Green Camp increase guard posts along the coast, and if you find pirates coming ashore, stop them immediately!"

That's all he can do within his capabilities.

"Yes, Jinfutai." Cai Zhang responded.

...

ten days later.

The news of the fall of Qiongzhou Island spread to the Qing court.

It was also passed to Kangxi's ears, not only this news, but also the news of the loss of the Jin and Xia islands before.

Kangxi in Qianqing Palace sighed deeply.

Looking at the urgent reports, Kangxi was suddenly upset, and there was another wave of ups and downs.

"I didn't expect it to be a trick to attack the west. I underestimated these sea bandits."

He also thought that Ming Zheng would devote all his energy to Fujian, and then lead the main force of the pirates to the shore, and the green battalion would gather heavy troops.

Unexpectedly, this group of pirates did not follow the routine and went directly to Guangdong to attack Qiongzhou Island.

Today, the sea bandits in the southeast of the Qing Dynasty are surrounded by pirate forces, and the pressure on coastal defense is huge, and these are becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Kangxi now understands that Ming Zheng's new successor Zheng Kezang is much more difficult to deal with than Zheng Jing.

Before Zheng Jing was gone, he was somewhat pleased, thinking that the opportunity to conquer Yizhou Island had come.

Unexpectedly!

"The most important thing is to prevent pirates from attacking the city. Now that Qiongzhou Island has fallen into the hands of bandits, Guangdong must be in danger." Suo'etu said worriedly.

"However, this old boy Jin Jun has done a good job. He is not chaotic in danger, and he has moved five miles inland, and he has won my heart!"

Jin Jun is a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Suo'etu, is there any news from Mingzhu?" Kangxi asked suddenly in the Qianqing Palace where there were many discussions.

"Your Majesty, Nalan Mingzhu reported that the pirates had very harsh conditions for peace negotiations, and asked the Qing Dynasty to cede the three prefectures of Zhangzhou, Chaozhou, and Quanzhou." Suo'etu said helplessly.

"It's unreasonable, what can Nalan Mingzhu do?" Kangxi continued to understand.

"My Majesty, Nalan Mingzhu originally wanted to negotiate peace with the pirates on the condition of Qiongzhou Island, but now it seems to be a dead end!" Suo'etu reported truthfully.

Now in the imperial court, the peace faction has become the mainstream, and Suo'etu's argument of the main war faction has no market.

As soon as this remark came out, the imperial court was still discussing how to defend against Ming Zheng in Guangdong, but now the style of painting has changed, and it has become the most appropriate conditions to negotiate a peace.

It has the taste of being kicked out of the country in the [-]th century.

The point is, the pirates will only agree to the land cessation.

But the ministers looked at Kangxi's face, and they seemed unwilling to cede land for peace, and they didn't dare to touch Kangxi's bad luck.

Difficult!

This matter has not been discussed yet, and Kangxi's words changed: "Is there any news about Hongmaoyi and Frangji?"

Speaking of this, Sai Hei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, quickly stood up and complained: "Your Majesty, the Luzon of the Franji people (both Spain and Portugal are called Franji) has been occupied by the puppet pirates, and now it leads to Badawi. Ya's sea routes are very dangerous, and the Ministry of Rites has already lost several envoys!"

Ming Zheng was so brave, Frangji hit him as soon as he said it, Kangxi thought to himself.

As soon as this incident came out, Kangxi no longer scorned the name of the Pseudo-Ming pirates in his heart.

The entire South China Sea is Ming Zheng's territory, and all ships coming out of the Qing Dynasty must be strictly inspected, and they must be inspected several times inside and out.

There are only a few routes from the inland to the Southeast Asia, and they are basically within the monitoring range of the Fujian Sea Fleet.

According to Zheng Kezang, this is called protection trade!

The necessary protection fee is indispensable. If you find someone with the background of the Daqing government, then sorry, the whole boat will be confiscated immediately!
The envoys of the Ministry of Etiquette of the Qing Dynasty didn't know how to keep a low profile. Even if they pretended to be businessmen, they insisted on the posture of the kingdom of heaven. Whether it was clothing or style, they looked like a big fish. If they didn't catch you, who would they catch?

It's no wonder that the Fujian Sea Fleet is too domineering, as long as the people in the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty keep a low profile, they have a chance to get away with it.

These small officials of the Ministry of Rites who were arrested had never experienced any hardships. They were tortured by the Minhai Fleet and confessed one after another.

"Oh, stop beating, gentlemen, gentlemen, Kangxi sent me to Nanyang to contact Hongmaoyi and Foluojiren, and deal with you gentlemen together!" An envoy of the Ministry of Rites who could not withstand the torture truthfully confessed.

Some were lucky enough to break through the siege of the Minhai Fleet and landed in Mingyan City on Luzon Island to supply some supplies, but they were directly caught by the Immigration Bureau of the Luzon Protectorate.

That's right, the Luzon Protectorate's Office officially set up an Immigration Administration Bureau to receive Han Chinese people from the inland.

However, a small boat following the envoys of the Qing Dynasty saw that the situation was not good and escaped. Only when they met other merchants at sea did they know that Luzon was no longer Spanish.

This is why Sai Sehei knew that Luzon was occupied by Zheng Kezang.

Both the Minhai Fleet and the Luzon Immigration Bureau reported the matter to Zheng Kezang.

Zheng Kezang's countermeasure is very simple, that is to engage in fraud!
"Your Majesty, if it's just to contact the Hongmaoyi people, I can find a solution!" Seeing that Kangxi's expression was not right, Sai Sehei hurriedly told him the good news.

"any solution?"

"A while ago, the Kingdom of Makassar, which presented the night pearl, had contacted me by letter. They knew a route that could avoid the Mingzheng pirates, and they could be our guide!" Sai Sehei said with a smile.

"So good!"
