Feng Ji has two tasks. One is to explore Zheng He's sea route and the reaction attitudes of various countries. The other is to find food seeds for the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the enclave of Jiugang belongs to the Ming Dynasty and whether it still surrenders to the Ming Dynasty. ,
So the purpose of staying here is to be the first stop in Xuanwei.
Xuanwei's announcement was just a matter of convenience, letting them know that Ming Dynasty was going to the sea again.
Jiugang is an overseas enclave of the Ming Dynasty. The first guard was Shi Jinqing, followed by the second sister of the Shi family. Because of the policy issued by Renzong of the Ming Dynasty that no board could enter the sea, the Shi family gradually became the actual control of this overseas port of the Ming Dynasty. people.
In the early days, they had contacts with the Ming Dynasty, but in the later period, they gradually lost contact. In addition, the surrounding maritime countries and the local people saw that the Shi family was without the Ming Dynasty. The natal family served as the backstage and no longer obeyed the orders of the Shi family. Even the Shi family was This place is in decline and will never be the same again.
This family surnamed Liu was also a family left behind by Zheng He at that time. Although they still held the Ming Dynasty official status in Old Port, they took their own throne, which was equivalent to the Tu emperor.
Don't underestimate Liu Siming, this guy is a pirate, otherwise why would he be able to defend this side.
Feng Ji was also from the sea, so he naturally saw Liu Siming clearly. Although there was awe on his face, the sharpness in his eyes was still visible to him no matter how well he concealed it.
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. It seemed that things and people had changed here.
"Your Majesty Liu Siming, join the Great Angel of Heaven." Liu Siming bowed down carefully.
No matter how he used the guise of the Ming Dynasty, now that he saw the Ming Dynasty's fleet coming here, he still had to have the proper attitude.
Especially the fleet of ships that covered the entire sea surface, and the vaguely flashing gun barrels, made him tremble with fear, and he had to lower his posture.
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao spent enough money to go to sea. If those dilapidated ships of the Ming Dynasty during the emperor's time would not have the awe and intimidation they have now, I am afraid they would become a laughing stock.
As the general manager, Feng Ji wore the crimson bullfighting official uniform, which was also given by Zhu Houzhao to Liu Jin. In the Ming Dynasty, only those who could wear the crimson official uniform were officials of the third rank or above.
It proves that the people sent by the court this time are important people, not small players, which can also have a certain deterrent effect.
"Get up and answer the question." Feng Ji's attitude was cold, and he had already made plans in his heart.
Liu Siming stood up after hearing this and said thank you: "Thank you angel."
Among the crowd gathered at the old port, there was a Shi family hiding in the crowd, looking excitedly at the Ming Dynasty's fleet. A hundred years ago, the Shi family arrived here on such a giant ship.
Shi Jing, the last bloodline of the Shi family in this old port.
Now I can only watch others walking toward the angels of the Ming Dynasty, and I have become a pariah. Who can understand this desolation.
"Dad, is that the Ming Dynasty's ship? It's so big." There was a sallow little girl with a dirty little face, wearing dirty clothes full of patches, looking up at his father , asked curiously.
Shi Jing nodded lovingly, hugged the little girl, turned around silently, and warned softly: "Yes, that is my Ming Dynasty's ship, Ah Si, you have to remember that you are from the Ming Dynasty, the strongest in the world The people of the great empire must always remember their roots.”
Ah Si nodded. Although his little face was full of confusion, he nodded firmly and kept his father's words in his heart.
Shi Jing stroked her little head happily and said distressedly: "Good boy, I have suffered so much for you. It's all because of my father's incompetence. Several of your brothers have died. Now you are the only one left in the Shi family. Alas." His expression was full of sorrow.
Ah Si’s little hand held Dad. The little person actually understood the pain in Dad’s eyes. He raised his rough little hand and carefully touched Shi Jing’s face and said: “Dad, don’t be sad, Ah Si.” Si will be a good boy and will always be with Dad."
"Good boy, good boy." Shi Jing turned around and glanced at the ship on the sea again, stared at it reluctantly, walked out of the crowd silently, and disappeared on the pier.
Now he is not qualified to see Shangguan from the Ming Dynasty. He is just the most humble untouchable. If he rashly recognizes him, he is afraid of humiliating himself. He is afraid that he will be beaten by Liu Siming's people before he can see Shangguan. died.
Under Feng Ji's questioning on the ship, Liu Siming gradually understood the situation in the old port, and he became more and more sure of his conjecture. The old port had indeed been turned upside down, and the Shi family had indeed encountered an unexpected event. It was only a short period of a hundred years, hum. , our family would like to see how capable you are of daring to kill our Ming officials without permission.
Liu Siming didn't know that his death was coming, so he was still pretending and trying to get through. However, Feng Ji had seen through this man's face and was no longer interested in accompanying him.
Feng Ji suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Master Liu has made great achievements in governing this place. When I return, I will definitely report to the emperor to ask for your merits and rewards."
Liu Siming was frightened by the angel's laughter and was stunned for a moment. He quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, thank you for the angel's kind words. I will not be able to repay you."
Feng Ji added: "The old port has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, and Master Liu has contributed a lot to its current situation. In this case, I have to see something. I just need to purchase some supplies, so I leave it to Master Liu to do it for me as soon as possible. This matter."
"It is my duty as a subordinate to prepare the supplies for the angel as soon as possible." Liu Siming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Feng Ji didn't see anything, and saw his villainous face when he asked for supplies.
In my heart, I looked down upon Feng Ji.
I thought he was some kind of powerful person, but he is just a treacherous villain who only knows how to ask for benefits. Haha, it seems that the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than that. What should I fear if I send such people out?
The topic opened up, and the two chatted with their own motives and tested each other. The Zhang brothers, who were already impatient in the cabin, sent someone to ask: "Manager Feng, the Marquis asked when can we get off the ship."
When Liu Siming heard this, he was stunned and said in his heart, I thought you were the angel on this trip. It turns out you are not in charge. There is a marquis above. Which marquis?
I couldn't help but underestimate Feng Ji again.
Feng Ji couldn't see through his thoughts, and suddenly thought to himself, the Marquis came at the right time.
"Go and report the two princes, and wait for the servants to arrange the troops and horses to escort the two princes off the ship." Feng Ji responded respectfully.
When the visitor left, he went back to find the Zhang brothers to report.
It wasn't until this moment that Liu Siming knew Feng Ji's true identity. From what he was called, he turned out to be a eunuch, which made him very angry.
Feng Ji was not embarrassed at all, he just smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, you are the chief official of this place. The two marquis are relatives of the emperor and the emperor's uncles, the Marquis of Shouning, the Marquis of Jianchang, and the two princes. The prince has long been tired of the boring life on the ship, you see..."
Liu Siming was thoughtful and quickly reacted. What did the dead eunuch in front of him mean? Could it be that you are asking me for a woman? As a relative of the emperor and the country, women are not important, so I’m afraid they have other agendas.
He thought that Feng Ji was taking the opportunity to reveal his identity as the Marquis and ask for money, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, angel, I understand." He responded with a look that everyone understood.
Feng Ji smiled coldly in his heart, let's see how long you can keep pretending. If you weren't afraid of hurting the people who still care about our Ming Dynasty, we would have bloodbathed this place long ago. And when you laugh, hum.
When Zhu Houzhao sent him here, he specifically asked Liu Jin to warn Feng Ji, asking him to carefully identify the people who still care about our Ming Dynasty, not to hurt anyone, and to comfort and stabilize the people's hearts, both to show his power and to comfort him.
When they were young, under Feng Ji's arrangement, the Zhang brothers finally got off the boat as they wished. However, they regretted it as soon as they got off the boat. The old port was dirty and messy, full of skinny people, and feces and urine could be seen everywhere.
vomit!
The Zhang brothers suddenly felt sour water in their stomachs.
It's so terrible that there is such a filthy place in the world. I really regret getting off the ship.
"This is unreasonable. Such a dirty place has stained my eyes. Whoever is the official here should be cut into pieces." Zhang Yanling shouted angrily as soon as he arrived at the dock.
Feng Ji covered his mouth and smiled behind him, and then explained seriously, "Master Hou, please calm down. This is a gathering place for common people. It doesn't matter if you don't want to look at it. Please get on the sedan quickly. There are delicious and beautiful maids in Mr. Liu's house. They are already waiting for you." It’s been a long time.”
After hearing what he said, the Zhang brothers were satisfied and walked towards the two simple sedan chairs with expectant faces.
Liu Siming had been sent away long ago and hurried back to the house to prepare for the reception, leaving only the person who led the way. Originally, he was going to lead the way personally, but Feng Ji sent him away with an excuse, and Liu Siming was not suspicious.
Now the entire old port is under his control, and the Shi family has been killed. Moreover, judging from Feng Ji's attitude, he has no intention of targeting him, so he left quickly.
Feng Ji looked at the 500 naval officers who went to escort him. His still humble face finally changed into a fierce and fierce one. He walked towards the ship. When he returned to the cabin, he immediately summoned the escorting naval generals and issued military orders. : "Everyone, there is a change in the old port. The thieves are killing our Ming officials. This is a provocation to our Ming Dynasty's power. Those who offend our Ming Dynasty's power will be killed immediately."
"Here." The generals received the order.
The five hundred officers and soldiers guarding the Zhang brothers, all armed with rifles, were waiting for Liu Siming to stand respectfully outside the palace gate to greet the two marquises.
Five hundred officers and soldiers, under the astonished gazes of the Zhang brothers and in full public view, immediately took control of the entire government office, and the roar of rifles resounded throughout the streets.
"Kneel down. Anyone who dares to resist tomorrow's soldiers will be killed without mercy." The cold words of the officers and soldiers rang in Liu Siming's ears.
At this moment, he was confused and awakened. His heart was frightened and his body was weak. He collapsed softly on the ground with a look of horror on his face.
On the pier in the distance, a pair of Ming officers and soldiers with live nuclear weapons disembarked from the ship and began to occupy the main thoroughfares, purging anyone who dared to resist or who had weapons in their hands.
"Put down your weapons and kneel down without killing."
Thumping~.
The roaring sounds of gunshots could be heard endlessly, and the killings shook the heavens and the earth.
All the natives, merchants, and people of the Ming Dynasty in Old Port knelt down one after another, their bodies trembling, whether in panic or excitement. No one dared to resist, waiting for the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers to deal with them.
Under the protection of everyone, Feng Ji walked off the ship, looked at the kneeling people, and calmly ordered the crowd: "Verify the identity, the Ming people stand on the left, the locals stand on the right, and the Waifan Business Travel Station To the middle.”
