Chapter 285 Collecting rent from Xiyi people

Whether it is seasickness or motion sickness, the human body has to go through a process of adaptation. If you have been living on the boat, your body will slowly adjust after a few days.

Father and son Li Jingfu and Li Chengyi fainted for three or four days, and their bodies slowly adapted. On a sunny day, they were still in the mood to stand at the boat rail and watch the sunrise in the distance.

"Xia, will we stop for a rest this time when we pass by Taiwa?" Li Jingfu now passed the throne to Xiao Wu, and Xia Jing was naturally promoted to the Empress Dowager. He felt that the Empress Dowager's name was difficult to pronounce, so he called her Xia or Xia Jing directly.

Xia Jing shook her head: "We need to stop in Haojing'ao this time, so we won't go to Taiwa." Otherwise, we would waste a lot of time just entering and leaving the port.

Li Jingfu looked at the faint mountains in the distance, which he thought were the islands in the sea, and asked Xia Jing with great interest: "Now Taiwa has a garrison, and a group of immigrants have been organized from Yangzhou, Lingnan and other places. Now not only Countless fertile fields have been reclaimed to grow rice and other grains, as well as many tropical fruits. It’s such a treasure island, Xia Jing, don’t you want to go and see it?”

"Next time." Xia Jing faced the sea breeze and looked at the mountains on the sea. "Taiwa's previous port was too small. I have asked the garrison to build a new military port. When we come back from overseas, almost Taiwa's military port can be used as a military port. A sea supply depot.”

During this period, Hao Jing Ao was occupied by the Western Yi people. If we must distinguish these Western Yi people, then the Western Yi people who occupied Hao Jing Ao were Spanish.

It's funny to say that the Spanish colonies in Nanyang have been driven out by the navy stationed in Nanyang led by Li Dingguo, but Haojingao under Dayu's nose is still occupied by the Spaniards.

It seems that the Yu court has always ignored its existence.

The recovery of Haojing'ao was equivalent to cutting off Spain's important transit station in the East.

When the Spaniards heard the news that they had to pay rent, they refused to comply at first, but later they gave in when they saw the fleet approaching from the sea and covering the sky!

At this moment, the Spaniards finally realized what the Yu people said: "People have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves." '

The Spanish Governor in Hao Jingao, John Black, was heartbroken at the thought of having to pay a large amount of rent, but if the rent was not paid, he was even more frightened when he looked at the supplies in the basement.

These were the materials they had collected in the East in the past two years, and were originally planned to be transported back to the mainland this year. However, before they had time to set off, Dayu's fleet arrived ahead of them.

Blake himself was a soldier, and now facing an army that was stronger than him and being threatened, he felt extremely aggrieved.

"Mr. Governor, what should we do? Are we really going to pay rent to the Dayu people? That is a huge amount of wealth. If we pay rent to them, part of the wealth we will send back to our homeland this year will be less." Aiken glanced at After taking a look at the boxes of treasures in the basement, he gritted his teeth and asked.

Black asked with a dark face: "What can we do if we don't hand over our arms? Didn't you see the densely packed fleet on the sea? If you don't hand over your arms, just wait for them to bombard us with artillery."

Who wants to pay this inexplicable rent? Isn't this forced by helplessness?

This year, this batch of wealth will be handed over to the mother country. Maybe the king will give him a title as a reward when he is happy.

Now that part of it has been divided by the people of Dayu, it is not clear whether the king will be satisfied by then.

No wonder the fleets that have been to the East all look excited when they talk about the East. The East they describe is a country full of gold, and all their western fleets want to come and plunder it.

It's just that these eastern armies seem to be getting stronger and stronger, and they can't handle it anymore.

"Are we just going to offer it up honestly with both hands?" Aiken looked at Black in disbelief, wondering why he had to show his stance and compete with them.

"if not?"

Blake raised his hand and slapped him on the head, and shouted sternly: "Hurry up and call someone, ask some people to come down and carry the wooden box. Let's pay the rent early and let them get out of here!"

If the people of Dayu are allowed to discover the treasure in this basement, it is not certain that the people of Dayu will go crazy!

Aiken did not dare to object and ran up quickly. Not long after, he called a team of guards down and carried five large wooden boxes up.

Forced to the door of his house, Blake watched them move the wooden boxes, his face darkened the whole time.

But when he arrived at the port with five large wooden boxes and saw two ships of Dayu's fleet docked, his face was so dark that he could squeeze out ink.

Holding back his rising anger, he raised his head and asked Xia Jing and Li Jingfu who were standing at the bow of the ship: "Didn't we just negotiate the rent? What do you mean by your ship docking?"

Xia Jing leaned on the railing and faced Blake with a smile on her face, "What Governor John said makes sense. Haojing'ao is my territory, Dayu. Is it wrong for us to board our own territory and inspect it? Even if This land is temporarily leased to you, but we still have the right to patrol!"

"You" Blake almost jumped in anger after hearing what she said, and immediately retorted sharply: "Queen Mother of Dayu, you must be reasonable in what you say. We have paid the rent for this land and it will be temporarily under our management. During the period of our lease, you are You have no right to go ashore and wander around, you will affect us, I want to protest!"

"The protest is invalid!" Xia Jing stared at him coldly and uttered seven words: "I decide my territory!"

"Don't get off the boat!"

When Black saw that the other party did not obey his orders, he became very angry. He pointed his finger at the soldiers who were about to disembark, and angrily shouted: "If you dare to disobey my orders, I order you not to disembark! Does this mean you don't want the rent?"

His background as a soldier made him accustomed to giving orders, and anyone who dared to disobey would offend his negative instinct.

Anyone who disobeys his orders is defiant.

If it were in the mainland, if the people below dared to disobey his orders, he would have ordered them to be dragged down and chopped down. How could he be allowed to jump around here?

How could Dayu's soldiers obey his orders and ignore his anger? Nearly 500 people came down very quickly.

Blake watched with fear as hundreds of soldiers came down. Do so many people need to come down to carry five wooden boxes?
There are only about Spaniards in the entire base. Including sailors and handymen, there are only about soldiers who are truly capable of resisting.

The five hundred soldiers disembarked from the boat, turned around and saluted Xia Jing and Li Jingfu on the boat. Their movements were uniform, and their momentum scared Black.

How could Blake's shock escape Xia Jing's eyes?

Xia Jing said with satisfaction to the soldiers below: "The Xiyi people have occupied our Haojing'ao of Dayu for nearly ten years. These five boxes of wealth are just to offset the rent for these ten years. They think beautifully, you are here with us Let’s turn around and let them sober up. Since they are not active in paying rent, we will help them!”

"Yes!"

Blake has been in Hao Jing'ao for several years, and he understands and speaks Dayu dialect.

At this moment, he was so angry that he was trembling all over. He said angrily in the words of Dayu with his feet turned: "Is there any king's law? Do you still have the spirit of contract? If you go back on something you said you regretted, this is completely wrong. Take Spain into consideration!"

Xia Jing saw him jumping around and replied happily: "In the past few years, it was you who had the final say in our territory in Dayu. Now it's time for us to have the final say. Cause and effect reincarnate, what do you have? Are you angry?" Blake's face turned red and he wanted to say something else, but when he saw the direction in which Dayu's army was going, his face instantly turned pale with fright, "Where are you going? That's my governor's palace. My home, you have no right to enter without my consent!"

"You bunch of savages, savages, have no rules and regulations, are you ready to quarrel?"

"Stop, stop! Don't get into my house without my permission!"

Xia Jing looked at Blake who was scurrying about like a headless fly below with a smile, and said to Li Jingfu: "You see, the Xiyi people are not omnipotent. When they encounter a strong enemy, they can only stare and jump around!"

Li Jingfu looked at the Xiyi people below and snorted coldly: "They don't want to be a little better than others and always want to make the rules of this world, but they don't expect that one day, these rules will turn against them! "

In the eyes of the Xiyi people, they have never regarded the Dayu people as human beings, but now they are being forced to experience a situation where the sky and the sky are not responding to each other, and the earth and the earth are not functioning properly.

In Blake's eyes, the Dayu people were nothing and had nothing worthy of his respect.

If he displeases him one day, how wonderful it would be to capture some Dayu people and transport them to Spanish mines in South America, and create wealth for the Spaniards all year round!
Of course, such dangerous thoughts were completely ignored the moment Dayu's soldiers came out carrying boxes of wealth.

The people of Dayu used their anger for beauty, and he used his anger for wealth, so he summoned the Xiyi people to resist, but they were suppressed by Dayu's army as soon as they resisted.

"Hahaha"

Looking at the boxes of wealth that were carried onto the ship and placed on the deck, Li Jingfu couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, "Mr. Got it!"

Xia Jing smiled: "These wealth can be regarded as returned to their original owners. Since the wealth that our Dayu searched for has been discovered, there is no reason for them to take it back. Your Majesty, are you right?"

"Yes, you are right!" Li Jingfu looked at the piles of wooden boxes and couldn't stop his joy. "However, it is a bit inconvenient for us to carry so much wealth on a long voyage. How about we send a ship to transport it?" Go back to Lingnan?"

Xia Jing nodded: "Okay, but don't leave it to the Lingnan government office. Leave it directly to Sima Lu and ask him to send troops back to the capital for Xiao Wu to handle."

Li Jingfu had no objection to this, "I will do as you say. I will write a letter and transport it back with the wealth later, instructing Sima Lu to be high-profile when transporting the wealth back to Beijing. Everyone along the way must know that this is The first batch of wealth we brought back from going to sea."

Xia Jing couldn't help laughing after hearing what he said, "Are you trying to seduce Dayu's other capable businessmen to take the initiative to go to sea?"

Li Jingfu smiled undeniably. He glanced at Li Chengyi who was registering on the deck, and said to Xia Jing: "If Dayu wants to occupy more territory overseas, he must mobilize the power of society. No matter what, these people will use their wealth to Transport them all back to Dayu’s homeland.”

After arranging the transportation of wealth, the fleet set off again, this time it will actually sail to Nanyang.

During this period of sailing, they would not be able to see land for a long time.

Li Jingfu and Li Chengyi were accustomed to life on the ship. They faced either the blue sky or the sea all day long, and their lives gradually became boring.

"Mother, is it possible that for the rest of the voyage, we will just stare at each other and have nothing else to do?"

Li Chengyi was almost bored. He was lying on the deck basking in the sun and couldn't even chew a dogtail grass. It was so boring.

Xia Jing glanced at Hongmei and Baimei, and they immediately understood what she meant. One person took out a deck chair from the cabin, and the other took out three fishing rods and other accessories needed for fishing.

"Ms. Xia, have you even prepared your fishing rods? It seems that you have made a lot of preparations for going out to sea." Li Jingfu, who was lying on the deck chair and drowsy, couldn't help but glance at the maid taking out three fishing rods from the cabin. Calm down.

In these boring days, it is so rare to find something to pass the time.

"Well, I asked Shan Wen to prepare it for me."

Shan Wen is Shan Blacksmith's only son. They have been following Xia Jing since Lingnan. Later, when they returned to the capital, Shan Blacksmith relied on his excellent craftsmanship to make many incredible weapons for Xia Jing.

Now Blacksmith Shan is already the chief research and development doctor of the Bureau of War.

And this title of doctor was a professional title specially awarded by Xia Jing to reward him for his contribution to Dayu.

And the three fishing rods Xia Jing took out were items in her space, but no matter what they suspected?
Her three fishing rods were produced by Shanwen.

When a noble man fishes, he catches loneliness.

Someone will prepare the bait for you, and while you are sitting there waiting, someone will pour you tea and water, ask you questions, and show your concern. This is not fishing, this is a super enjoyment.

"Whether we can eat seafood at noon today depends on the fishing rods of the three of us."

Seeing that Li Jingfu had put down the fishing line and was still looking down at the exquisitely crafted fishing rod, Xia Jing said displeasedly: "With your fishing method, you won't even be able to catch a fish in a day!"

Hearing this, Li Jingfu raised his head and said unconvinced: "You have fished before, do you know how to fish? I won't catch a few fish later, but you won't catch any!"

"Don't underestimate me. Maybe I'll catch a lot of fish later and you won't be able to take the bait yet, so you'll be very embarrassed!"

After saying that, Xia Jing stood up and stretched her neck to take a look into the sea, as if to see if there were any fish biting the hook in the water.

"Haha, the sea water is very deep. How can you see the fish in the water while standing on the boat!" Li Jingfu laughed.

Li Chengyi also laughed, but he didn't dare to laugh loudly. Looking at Xia Jing's appearance of never fishing before, he reminded: "Mother, the distance between the ship's edge and the sea is quite large. Are you standing on the ship?" Maybe you can see the fish underwater in the sea clearly.”

"Really?" Xia Jing didn't take it seriously. She leaned on the railing and looked at it for a while, then suddenly jumped up and said, "The fish is coming!"

"Queen Mother, you are pretending so much that if you don't know better, you might think you have seen fish underwater." Li Chengyi couldn't laugh or cry.

"How do you know I can't see? There are fish under the water!"

After Xia Jing finished speaking, the buoy started to move and rushed into the water.

"There are really fish!" The father and son looked at the floating buoy in surprise.
