Chapter 891 Jinyiwei's intention was that after Quan Xu's fleet left the port of Ceylon, the next stop was Minicooy Island, but now it has become the Bijia Island of the Ming Dynasty, this small island covering an area of about ten square kilometers, originally the Portuguese set up a supply base here, but it was not after a war, but was purchased by a Shandong man named Bi Zhengyi.Bi Zhengyi was one of the first adventurers to go to sea, a young man of twenty-five years old because of his bad temper and because his father favored his younger brother.In a fit of rage, he divided his father's family.In later generations, this is just an ordinary and ordinary thing, but in this era, unfilial piety is still a heinous crime, so Bi Zhengyi can't get mixed up in the local area, and in desperation, he smashed all his family property and spent more than 4,000 taels of silver to buy a 1,000-ton transport ship to run transportation.At first, it was from Dengzhou to Lushun, but because of the bad reputation - unfilial piety.Business was getting worse and worse, and he could barely run it, so he followed Helena's ship all the way to Europe, and when he passed through the island of Minikoi, he took a fancy to the island, which was almost six or seven thousand acres of coconut groves.The owner of the island belonged to a Portuguese at the time, so Bi Zhengyi bought the island from the Portuguese for the price of four boxes of porcelain and thirty horses of silk.Bi Zhengyi took his wife and children and a dozen men to start running this island, and later the ships of the Ming Dynasty would pass through here to replenish fresh water, Bi Zhengyi saw the business opportunities here, he hired a large number of people, bought timber from Ceylon, expanded the port, the Portuguese built a port can only dock seven or eight medium-sized merchant ships, is a miniature small port.Later, the Ming army went on an expedition and fell in love with this place, so they asked if the island was righteous or not?
Bi Zhengyi recognized him as a Ming man, so they were requisitioned by the Royal Navy as a supply base and expanded the port.In fact, the navy wanted to buy this port at that time, but this Bi Zhengyi has an official fan, his ancestors have been doing business for a living, although there is no shortage of money, but he has never been a big official.So, based on this island, Bi Zhengyi became the tax official of Bijia Island.Originally, Quanxu's fleet would not dock here, he wanted to go to the Maldives more than a hundred kilometers away, Quanxu heard that it was a paradise for vacation, but it was a pity that he had never been there.After hearing Bi Zhengyi's deeds, he decided to stop at Bijia Island, at this time Helena was already very speechless, this time she asked Quanxu for help, Quanxu has been walking and stopping all the way since he set off, especially when he was in Nanyang, he visited the Nanyang Islands.Everywhere he went, Quanxu would meet with the local people of Daming who had settled in business.Needless to say, Quanxu's fleet was warmly welcomed in various parts of the South Seas, and everywhere he went, the local Ming people would come to watch the fleet.Now it's better, the original time, the people of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang life is not easy, the natives in this area are lazier than pigs, they are the most diligent and hard-working group of people, relying on these qualities, they can take root no matter where they are, spread out their branches, and create amazing wealth with their hard-working hands.However, this ability did not bring them good fortune, but brought disaster, the indigenous people were jealous of them, hated them, the Western colonialists were jealous of their ability, coveted their wealth, and the rejection and massacres of the Chinese diaspora continued one after another, such as the Manila massacre, in which 20,000 Chinese died tragically under the butcher's knife......
The whole Ming attaches great importance to the ocean, and pays special attention to protecting the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty or the Chinese and overseas Chinese.However, the problem is that Quanxu's patrol-style march made Helena very unhappy."
Don't pout, who are you pouting for?"
Helena's eyes slowly turned red: "Have you received the news that the city of Venice has been jointly attacked by the Europas?"
You can tell me that I am very strong, and this result, in fact, I have thought about it for a long time!
”Helena said as tears welled up in her eyes."
Alright, alright, I'll not hide it from you!"
Quan Xu took out a telegram from the cabinet: "You can read it yourself!"
”Helena stared at the telegram suspiciously."
Minister, the governor of North Africa, Sun Chuanting, reported that on October 10, the fourth year of Dingxin, the minister, led three regiments and 57 military towns under his command to launch a full-line attack on the Rahat area garrisoned by the Ottoman Egyptian governor Muhammad Ali......
Captive" Helena looked puzzled: "What does the city of Venice have to do here?"
”"Hey!"
Quan Xu sighed and said, "Helena, although you are a soldier, you are just an excellent tactical commander, but you have no strategic vision!"
”Speaking of this, Quan Xu looked at the staff officer next to him and said, "Come here and teach her a lesson!"
”Helena's opinion could not be used as a basis for the actions of the whole army, and the fleet still docked on Bijia Island, which is now just a small island, a U-shaped port, which can dock three or four hundred warships or merchant ships.Bijia Island is very small, but although the sparrows are small, they have the same organs.Directly divided into two parts, the port area and the living area are distinct, the navy's camp is located between the port area and the living area, and the crew and sailors of the ships can only move in the port area, and cannot enter the island's living area.As the island's yamen, the tax building, is a three-story granite building, all the building materials on the island are transported from the Ming Nanyang, at first are wooden buildings, but later because of the sea breeze, the wooden structure building can not be used for a long time, and now the wooden building is slowly changing to a stronger reinforced concrete building.In fact, as long as it is carefully maintained, the use of wooden buildings on the island will not be too much of a problem, just paint it several times a year, and you can also choose as many bright colors as possible when choosing colors, so that the colorful buildings will look more beautiful and more island style.It's just that in order to settle for all, Bi Zhengyi replaced the wooden building with a reinforced concrete building, hidden in the coconut groves that can be seen everywhere, like a tropical beauty with a variety of charms, which makes people feel refreshed.Quan Xu is not a person who can endure hardships, he thinks it is very cool to lead a large army on an expedition of thousands of miles and kill all directions, but the problem is that the navy is not like the army, although the army marches hard, it is also very hard.But the problem is that when the army is marching, Quan Xu can ride in a carriage or on a horse, the key is to have a strong system, no matter at any time, he will not wronged himself.Now it's different, the sea can't be located, he can't move the things of later generations to this era as before, and finally encountered a small island, he just lay on a beach chair in a coconut tree, wearing sunglasses, blowing the sea breeze, drinking cold beer, how can he be so cool?
At this time, Su Yin walked up to Quan Xu and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, we received news from China that there is a big case!"
”"What kind of case needs to be reported to me?""
Take a look!"
Su Yin received the result and put it in front of Quan Xu.It turned out that this was a deal between Ye Chengchang and Abraham, which was seized by Jinyiwei.Although this Ye Chengchang is very cunning, he trades money from the mainland and delivers it by sea, but the problem is that when Abraham paid Ye Chengchang money, Ye Chengchang withdrew money from the bank in Dengzhou, and he forgot one thing, that is, the money of Daming is becoming more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Such a business as the withdrawal of millions of taels of silver coins is not encountered several times a year, which attracts the attention of the banking system, so this information is reported to Jinyiwei.After Jin Yiwei intervened in the investigation, it was found that Ye Chengchang's name had become an empty shell, and the shops under his name were fields.The factory building and so on were all sold.Jin Yiwei realized that this was wrong, after all, the factories and mansions under Ye Chengchang's name were very valuable and had great room for appreciation.This caught the attention of Jinyiwei, and when he dug deeper, he found Abraham.This era is not the afterlife, and the foreign adults can do whatever they want, unless they have conclusive evidence, they can arrest people.The secret arrest of Abraham by the Jinyiwei was habitually carried out by the Jinyi Guard, and after some interrogation.Abraham was not a professional intelligence officer, but a businessman, and under the torture of Jinyiwei, he quickly confessed everything.When Jin Yiwei heard that the purchased naval guns were a shocking case, he immediately took control of them, and with the cooperation of the navy, he carried out the arrest, and successfully detained Ye Chengchang's transport ship disguised as porcelain in the Strait of Malacca.And managed to find two naval guns.It's just that Ye Chengchang, his wife and children all fled to the Australian Ming Dynasty, and Jin Yiwei asked Quan Xu to pursue the Australian Ming cross-border.Quan Xu is sure that Jin Yiwei's appetite is definitely not as simple as capturing Ye Chengchang.If Jin Yiwei didn't want to use this reason to arrest Chongzhen back, Quan Xu dared to buckle his eyes out.Quan Xu muttered: "Forward this news to the cabinet and let the cabinet watch it!"
”Quan Xu was actually a little angry, he promised Chongzhen and gave Chongzhen a good ending, but some people are always thinking about finding trouble.The most unacceptable thing for Quan Xu is to sell the most advanced naval guns of the Ming Dynasty to Xiyi, once the British get this naval artillery technology, with the technical strength of the British, it will definitely be restored.Then the Ming superiority at sea will no longer exist, of course, the numerical superiority is still there, but it is not as absolute as it is now.Helena walked up to Jeon Wook: "What's wrong, dear?"
Are you not in a high mood?
”"You're relieved now?"
, Helena was unreserved, and directly gave Quanxu a fragrant kiss."
Thank you!""
You're welcome, who of us is with whom!"
Quan Xu stared at Helena and said, "Next, can you enjoy the scenery along the way?"
”"Of course, the mood is different, and the scenery is not the same!"
