The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

About two miles away from the governor's office of Macao, outside a delicate private villa, on the green garden grass, Niu Gensheng, with more than 300 soldiers, is setting up a camp.

As Li Yuanqing was honored, Juan Thomas did not dare to neglect him, so he took out the private villa of the previous governor for Li Yuanqing and his wives and concubines.

In the living room on the first floor, Ren Yinger, Caizi, Waner, Liu Qiao, Shu Murong, Zhang die and Zhao Mei are sitting on the big sofa in the living room, talking and laughing.

This is the first time for them to see the pure western architectural pattern in front of them, and they feel very strange everywhere.

Li Yuanqing's official residence in Changsheng island has been regarded as a very good grade, but it is basically based on practical style, far from being such a delicate and luxurious villa.

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Zhang Baozhu is carefully coaxing her baby son Siro to sleep.

The little guy is nearly two years old. Although his words are not clear, he is extremely naughty. He is just like a little monkey.

Although there are three maid and a woman to help, but the little guy still consumes most of Zhang Baozhu's energy every day.

On the spacious open-air balcony, looking at Siro, who is still wrestling with his mother's mother in Mongolian style, Li Yuanqing can't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.

Although it is already in the subtropical area, it is only late April, and the wind is still a little chilly.

However, for Li Yuanqing, who is in the North all the year round, this breeze is just like a girl's little hand and will not make him feel any discomfort.

In the distance, in the broad Bay, there were still many lights, and the undulating and magnificent waves could be seen vaguely. That was the position of his fleet.

At this time, it was nearly ten o'clock. Compared with the wharf, there was a lot of silence around. There were about a dozen independent villas, most of which had no lights. Occasionally, unknown insects and birds were heard in the grass, which was quite peaceful and comfortable.

Li Yuanqing also had to lament that in terms of enjoying life, these humble white haired ghosts were not inferior to the scholar bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty!

Although the styles of the two sides are different, their essence is almost the same.

However, Li Yuanqing is from later generations, he is more adapted to the lifestyle of these foreign devils.

It's like a sofa, a bathtub, a Western mirror, a cigar, and a soft bed. It's really easier for Li Yuanqing to accept than Daming, who pays attention to the mean.

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath of an authentic Cuban cigar, which had traveled far across the sea and came here thousands of miles away. However, Li Yuanqing was choked and coughed, and his tears began to flow out.

"Damn it, am I out of date? You can't handle this little thing? " Li Yuanqing couldn't help but spat with a smile.

It has been more than six years since he came to Daming. He almost forgot about his future life.

However, the second, the third, this feeling has been much better, more and more familiar.

With the sound of the little things in the master bedroom getting smaller and smaller, he gradually began to fall asleep. Looking at the bright and lonely night sky, Li Yuanqing's mind also slowly became silent.

Macao is a good place!

What a pity!

It's the Portuguese for nothing!

However, there are disadvantages and advantages.

It is precisely because of these Portuguese in Macao that Daming has a real window to the outside world and has access to more advanced Western technologies at this time.

After all, although there were many private fleets in Daming, most of them were very complicated.

To paraphrase later generations, this is a "gray area", which is far from the official court.

Just imagine that if there was no red cannon, governor yuan would have no confidence, and he would have been fighting with the main force of later Jin Dynasty in Ningyuan city.

Although Li Yuanqing does not have the slightest affection for these Portuguese people who live in dog days in the bottom of his heart, this situation is far from the time when he is hostile to the grape people. He needs to use the hands of these "easy to master" Portuguese people to avoid some detours.

At this time, Si Lang was probably asleep. Wearing a fur cloak, Zhang Baozhu came to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Yuanqing, what are you thinking?"

Li Yuanqing smiles: "nothing. The scenery here is still good? What about? Don't you recognize the bed

Although Zhang Baozhu is incomparably noble and powerful in the world, Li Yuanqing, who has already known her from top to bottom, knows that she is not a good habit.

She sleeps and knows the bed very well.

Once you change the environment, you may not sleep well all night.

Hearing Li Yuanqing ask about this, Zhang Baozhu's pretty face was red: "how are you. However, Yuanqing, this bed is really a little soft! I don't know. What are they made of? "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "if you like, when you go back, we will bring some of these white hair craftsmen. It's the same kind of bed at home. "

Zhang Baozhu's big eyes brightened. For a moment, however, she shook her head with a smile and said, "I don't want to. I still like my bed. "Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, affectionately holding Zhang Baozhu's gentle waist, whispered in her ear: "tonight, let sirang sleep with the maid."

Zhang Baozhu's pretty face suddenly blushed and said in a low voice, "Yuanqing, you've been with me for four or five days. It's time for other sisters to take turns..."

Li Yuanqing smiles, but sticks in Zhang Baozhu's ear, whispers a few words.

Zhang Baozhu's pretty face was about to drip out of the water. She spat softly, but the happy smile on her face betrayed her mood. She said in a low voice: "if, if there's business tomorrow, what can you do if you can't get out of bed?"

Li Yuanqing looked at Joseph, who was walking fast, not far from downstairs. He couldn't help laughing: "what kind of combat effectiveness am I? You don't know? Go to the bath and wait for me. Their bathtub is good

Smiling goodbye to Zhang Baozhu, let her clean up the master bedroom side, Li Yuanqing slowly down the floor, came to the living room.

Maybe today's life is really too new, the girls have not left to sleep, but in the side of chattering non-stop.

When they saw Li Yuanqing come down, they responded and saluted Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand with a smile, "how old are you? How can you still be like a child? There's something else to do tomorrow. Let's have a rest early! "

"Yes." Li Yuanqing made a speech, even if the women have not fresh enough, but also dare not refute, busy have returned to their respective rooms.

Here, Li Yuanqing just walked out of the door of the villa. Niu Gensheng met him quickly and reported in a low voice: "general, Joseph is here."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "let him in!"

"Yes

For a moment, Joseph walked into the villa. Seeing that there was no female family member, he could not help but feel a little relieved. He kowtowed to Li Yuanqing and saluted: "humble Joseph, I have met the general."

Li Yuanqing nodded, threw him a cigar and motioned him to sit across the sofa.

Joseph took the cigar with a smile, carefully sat down on the small sofa opposite, lit the cigar, took a deep breath and said, "general, your expectation is not wrong. Juan Thomas is very sensitive to our coming. I can see that he is very nervous in his humble position. Moreover, he also asked the humble position the destination of our trip. "

"Ha ha."

Li Yuanqing a smile, "then what do you say?"

Joseph said with a smile: "general, don't worry, your humble position has already been established. We have set our destination in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. At the same time, the humble position also shows that we want to purchase firearms and warships on a large scale. Juan Thomas is obviously very interested

Li Yuanqing took a sip of his cigar and nodded slowly. After pondering for a long time, he said with a smile: "Joseph, you have done a good job. But brother Joseph, you know me! All my brothers, they are very good, better than many aristocrats. But all my enemies will go to hell to repent! "

"Eh?"

Joseph was stunned. He knelt down and said, "general, the loyalty of your humble position to you is just the day and the moon! Oh, by the way, general, there's one more thing I almost forgot to tell you! "

"General, this Juan Thomas is not an outsider. He is a distant cousin of my humble position. Originally, I thought he had gone to the new world, but I didn't expect that... "

………

Joseph respectfully left, Li Yuanqing's mouth, but slowly revealed a subtle smile.

The future, is really let people look forward to ah!

Early the next morning, Li Yuanqing and his party started formal talks with Juan Thomas, the Portuguese side, in the conference room of the Macao governor's office.

Juan Thomas said that Li Yuanqing's fleet from the south of Liaoning Province was very welcome to come to Macao for trade in an official capacity, and said that it would provide convenience for Li Yuanqing's fleet to the greatest extent.

Li Yuanqing also said that he welcomed the Portuguese fleet to do business in southern Liaoning, and the military in southern Liaoning would provide necessary support to the Portuguese side to the greatest extent.

In a friendly and cheerful atmosphere, the two sides signed a concise "provisional trade agreement.".

Don't underestimate it. It seems to be just a useless piece of paper. Even in this era, "standing on the starting line of justice" is quite necessary.

In the long run, this is to leave a way for our own side, so as to avoid making useless remarks about it in the future.

In the near future, this is the code of conduct of a "civilized society".

Even if there is a day of war, or even a large-scale war, people with cards will always have more confidence.

Later, Li Yuanqing and Juan Thomas signed several specific trade details.

First of all, the procurement and employment of Changsheng island.

According to the agreement reached between Li Yuanqing and Juan Thomas, in the next five years, the Changsheng Island military, including the southern Liaoning military, will purchase up to 500 three pound guns, six pound guns and eight pound guns from the Portuguese side of Macao.In addition, more than 300 Portuguese gunners and artillery maintenance personnel should be employed.

In the next three years, Changsheng island will purchase 10 large Portuguese sail warships and 30 retired officers and soldiers from the Portuguese side of Macao.

In the next two decades, it will not be lower than that in the future.

At the same time, it will provide information for Li Yuanqing's fleet to go to Nanyang, and send a pilot ship flying the Portuguese flag and two escort ships.

For this request, Li Yuanqing thought for a moment, but did not refuse, but happily signed the document.

Everything is happy.

After that, it was time for the luncheon.

At the same time, the goods of Changsheng island can also be officially unloaded. In terms of legal status, it has the right to sell Macao.
