Chapter 330

Liu Xizhi bowed his hands to Wang Xijue and said, "Master Ge, the Fanyi don't know the political affairs of our celestial dynasty, so they mistakenly traded firearms to the Burmese and Yi, and they didn't make firearms for China, but for self-protection in business; Ever since he was allowed to live in Haojing, he has tacitly allowed him to make firearms for self-defense, and now he hastily ordered them to take them back, which is indecent!"

"In addition, the Folangji people were originally Fanyi, and the Fanyi only knew about business, so selling firearms to the traitors of the dynasty, and then selling them to the Burmese and Yi by the traitors of the dynasty, is not considered a traitor to the barbarians."

"Even if it is forbidden to sell firearms, it should be clearly announced. If it does not obey, it will be possible to use swords and soldiers. Now, directly forcibly seizing its property is not the way to govern the country!"

Wang Xijue said: "The servant only recognizes the emperor's order, and what was approved by the Shimiao was only allowed to rent land in Haojing for business, and he was not allowed to make private firearms."

Speaking of this, Wang Xijue took out an imperial decree and said: "My servant has asked His Majesty's decree to confiscate Fanyi's privately built firearms and workshops in Haojing!"

"Just like what Liu Bingxian said, the Holy Will also took into account that the Fanyi did not know etiquette, did not know the rules of our dynasty, and did not know the order to make firearms privately, instead of directly destroying them with the crime of plotting against the dynasty! Therefore, it was only confiscated, because it did not tell us to build weapons privately in China, as a punishment for disrespecting our country."

When Wang Xijue said this, he looked at Liu Xizhi: "Liu Bingxian, what else do you want to say?"

Liu Xizhi replied: "Since the imperial decree has been issued, the subordinates dare not resist the decree, but the old man told me that the Fanyi under Haojing has gradually become a force, and they will suddenly seize their property. The idea is to resist stubbornly in a corner, which will only increase casualties, and even hate to invade our two provinces; why not, please allow your subordinates to contact him first, see his attitude, and persuade him to take the initiative to hand over his property. It is not appropriate to copy."

Wang Xijue frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded: "It's the way of a great country after courtesy first!"

As he said that, Wang Xijue said: "What's more, Haiphong is the duty of the military constitution. It's not good for servants to intervene in the local area arbitrarily, and to follow the words of the military constitution. Please go to Fanyi to declare my emperor's will first, so that he can fully deliver it." war."

Liu Xizhi bowed his hands and said yes, and the next day he personally came to Haojing with an imperial decree to meet with Bishop Carneiro of Francis Jihaojing.

Canelo and other Frangji people had just held a secret meeting in Haojing, and decided to imitate the city autonomy system of Flangji Kingdom and set up a council.

Of course, this meeting was not approved by the Ming court.

Carneiro only sent someone to send an application to the governor of India and Portugal, but did not send an application to the Ming court. Obviously, he no longer believed that Hao Jing belonged to Ming.

Because Xiyi in this era has always had an ambition to conquer the world, and now in Haojing civilization and trade, it's just that the Ming Empire is not easy to conquer directly.

At this time, Liu Xizhi suddenly met him and told him that because they did not obtain permission from His Majesty the Emperor to make firearms privately, after His Majesty wanted to confiscate their adverse births, Carneiro was very angry. He felt that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very barbaric. , Don’t believe in God, don’t say it, but even intensified the bullying of missionaries who peacefully conquered areas that don’t believe in God.

"Since the imperial decree has been issued, you should obey the decree and hand over the adverse property as soon as possible, so that you can continue to trade."

"Don't think about extra problems!"

Liu Xizhi considered that Haojing's peaceful trade had indeed brought tax revenue to the local government and also solved the survival problems of many people in Zhaoqing, so he persuaded Carneiro with kind words.

Canelo nodded: "We will obey the will!"

Carneiro considered that it would be difficult for him to turn his face when he came to see Liu Xizhi alone, so he agreed on the surface, and after returning, he held a meeting and said to the members of the meeting:

"The barbaric pagans decided to take away the Haojing we discovered and managed. We should end the previous peaceful way of preaching, otherwise, we will lose the Haojing!"

"The mirror belongs to our great Roman Emperor! No one can take it from him!"

Kinlar, the council's senior mayor, agreed.

The director Luo Mingjian objected at this time: "Father Fan said that we need to respect the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and we should not rashly make enemies with it. This is a powerful oriental pagan country, and their civilization is not so backward. We need Let them accept our teachings by doing as the Romans do, instead of conquering them by force. That will only increase their resentment towards our teachings and be regarded as thieves by them; therefore, we should follow their will and put The firearms workshop and craftsmen are handed over to them, and they only do business and mission here."

boom!

Jin Laer patted the table and glared at Luo Mingjian angrily: "Surrendering to the emperor of a pagan country is betraying God!"

Luo Mingjian asked directly: "Did you forget the Battle of Tuen Mun?"

Just as Daming had dovish officials like Liu Xizhi, Haojing's Frangji, the Portuguese, also had doves like Luo Mingjian.

But Haojing was too important to the Frangji colonists.

After all, they have been operating here for decades, and they have long been preparing to use this as a base to conquer Daming.

Therefore, most of the Flangji officials in the council are still unwilling to hand over Haojing’s firearms, firearms workshops and craftsmen, because that would be tantamount to losing the autonomy they forcibly granted themselves in Haojing without the permission of the Ming court. , and many economic benefits.

The council elder and bishop Carneiro said at this time: "Haojing is not Tuen Mun. We already have our own firearms workshop and fortifications here, as well as an army that has been trained to prevent them from invading. We are Those who can protect our mirror!"

Carneiro's opinion was agreed by the majority of council members.

Captain Jianige personally led a hundred firearms, and under the order of Carneiro, he raided the inn where Liu Xizhi was temporarily stationed in Haojing.

boom!

boom!

The gunshots rang out.

The fifty soldiers who came with Liu Xizhi were all killed by the raiding Fulang robot.

The Han people who ran the inn and Liu Xizhi's staff were also all killed.

And Liu Xizhi, who was about to wait for Canelo's return, was dragged outside the inn by the Jiani Pavilion himself, and Liu Xizhi was ordered to kneel down.

Liu Xizhi was forced to kneel on the ground, and couldn't help being furious, scolding: "You robbers, go and call your bishop! This constitution is an official ordered by the imperial court, how can you humiliate it!"

boom!

Seeing that Liu Xizhi didn't kneel down, Jiani Pavilion simply slashed Liu Xizhi's neck with a knife.

Liu Xizhi's head was separated like this, blood spattered on the spot.

He was the first Ming official to be killed by Xiyi, and he was a civil servant with a high rank and power.

"The arrogant and greedy heretics have been killed by us! The glory will belong to our great Holy Roman Emperor and his subjects!"

At this moment, Jianige held Liu Xizhi's head and proudly said to his firecrackers, then pointed in the direction of Xiangshan County and said: "Conquer Xiangshan, conquer these barbarians who don't believe in God!"

Portugal in this era still recognized the Spanish emperor as the monarch, and the Spanish emperor was often called the Holy Roman Emperor. For example, when Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire, he also shouted the decree of the Holy Roman Emperor.

Therefore, Jiani Pavilion also shouted at this time.

According to the arrangement of the council, he needs to take down Kaidao Liu Xizhi with lightning speed, and directly take down Xiangshan, which may not be alert, and then obtain a stronghold that can be defended.

Because there is no city wall in Macau yet.
