Chapter 353 Who are you, you still don't kneel when you see this general

After the Fu Ship docked safely, among the warships lined up in the battle line, a three-decker gunboat and several small warships suddenly walked out of the formation and came towards the port.

Soon, these ships followed the passage that had been prepared long ago and stopped at the dock. At this time, when the warship approached, compared with other ships, the ship appeared even larger and more majestic.

At seventy meters in length, it seems so outstanding that it cannot be ignored.

"Let's go and greet him. That's General Shen's flagship." The Portuguese guide greeted him and ran over. He wanted to take Shen Yourong to the business store in his country.

"General Shen?" Gai Feng muttered, and ran over. He knew the meaning of flagship, the warship where the fleet commander was located, but he didn't know what kind of commander General Shen was, and he could actually lead such a warship. A big fleet.

"We're finally here." Looking at the buildings adjacent to the festival, a smile appeared on Shen Yourong's face. Anyone who has been floating on the ship for so many days will feel uncomfortable.

However, after learning the lessons from the last fleet's destruction, Shen Yourong would never stop in such a strange port without his own troops to defend him. He would rather let the fleet drift on the sea than It will drive in. Of course, if there is a typhoon and wind, it will be a different matter.

After all the medium-sized Fufu ships for transportation entered the port, he ordered the remaining warships to be on alert. After staying on standby, he drove his flagship into Feifu Port, accompanied by several destroyers.

When he got off the pedal, he happened to see the Portuguese guide who came to serve as an outpost. At this time, there seemed to be a Chinese with him, and he didn't know what he did.

"General Shen, please come this way." After the greeting, the Portuguese guide planned to lead Shen Yourong to his country's business store.

However, Shen Yourong did not follow him as he wished. Instead, he frowned and looked at the Chinese man who was following him, with a somewhat unkind look on his face.

Being stared at by Shen Yourong, Gai Feng felt bursts of nervousness. He looked left and right, but found that he was dressed normally. He also saluted and said hello when they met. There was nothing that made the other party disgusted. ah.

"Who are you?" Looking at the boat, Shen Yourong asked unkindly.

"I am the boss of Feifu Port. I am responsible for the taxation and trade management of the port." The boss replied quite proudly. He felt like a primary school student whose homework was checked by the teacher.

"But Han?" Shen Yourong asked next.

"It's the Han people!" Gai Feng continued to answer, quite contentedly, waiting for the general to express his praise. After all, it would be impossible to achieve his position in a foreign country without any skills.

However, Shen Yourong's attitude was exactly the opposite. He raised his eyebrows and roared loudly, "In that case, why don't you kneel down when you see me!"

The cockroach was hit on the head by the loud shouts and was stunned. He was stunned on the spot and was at a loss what to do.

"I am a naval general, with the rank of major general, and a third rank. Even Ruan, the lord of the Guangnan Kingdom, will treat me with courtesy when he sees me, and he will not dare to make any mistakes. How dare I be so arrogant, just give him a casual salute and forget about it! "Shen Yourong asked again with a cold face.

Hearing this, Gai Feng immediately understood that he felt that his etiquette was not thorough. He thought about it just now, and it seemed that he was following the Portuguese man in clasping his fists and saluting. So what is the etiquette for Ming Dynasty citizens to meet officials? It seems that they have to kneel down. .Thinking of this, the man's face suddenly turned ugly.

Xiang Xiang, although he is not a single-minded figure in Feifugang, is still respectable and is considered one of the top five most powerful people. How could he kneel down in public?

Besides, we are not in China now. This is Annan, Guangnan country. Why should I kneel down to you? Gai Feng felt arrogant in his heart, and he immediately wanted to refute loudly.

However, Shen Yourong didn't allow him to think so much. When he saw that the cockroach's face was turning green and red, with no response, he suddenly became impatient and shouted loudly, "Guard, take down this rude person."

Bang!

After frequent metal collisions, the sailors who followed Shen Yourong ashore immediately raised the Apocalypse II rifles they were carrying and aimed at the dinghy, as if they were ready to shoot without restraint.

After Zhu Youxiao's army went on the expedition, the muskets produced by Sun Yuanhua's gun factory began to be supplied to the navy. After the navy had 10,000 guns, it began to supply the city defense army, with each army having about several thousand guns.

Plop!

The man knelt down quickly, followed by a group of his men. Facing the black muzzle of the gun, few people became brave. Violence and power have always been the simplest and most direct way to make people surrender. .

Shen Yourong was a bit unreasonable and stared at the cockroach without taking his eyes away. Under his intense gaze, the cockroach slowly kowtowed and saluted with a sad and indignant look on his face.

"Hmph, do these foreigners think that they are no longer the subjects of the Ming Dynasty after leaving the country of the Ming Dynasty? This Annan is still a territory of the Ming Dynasty. The leader of the Annan Kingdom calls me brother and brother when he sees this general. How dare you, a businessman, So rude." Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Shen Yourong stopped staying. He just left a few words and left with the Portuguese guide.

In the conflict just now, he did not interfere in any words, but just watched quietly from the side. The coolies, merchants, and shipowners on other docks were also the same. They just watched quietly as General Ming forced the stern of Feifu Port to get off. Kneel down and salute.

Perhaps when the Ming fleet first arrived, they could still remain calm. After all, these people had been living in Vietnam for a long time, ranging from decades to several generations. Of course, there were also newcomers, but their awe for the Ming Dynasty was The deepest ones are those who have been plowing for so long that they almost forget that they are from the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, when they saw the majestic general Shen Yourong, they remembered the supreme status of officials in the Ming Dynasty. When Shen Yourong left, they all looked silent, without any anger on their faces.

Shen Yourong's behavior can be said to be arrogant and domineering, but the onlookers did not feel it at all. They only felt that this is what a general of a great kingdom should be, and the people of a small country should serve him respectfully, let alone the common people who were smuggled to Annan from the Ming Dynasty.

After this scene, the overseas Chinese who were watching were all in awe of the Ming Dynasty again, and then they started discussing and asking those who had just arrived about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.

This has never happened before.

Some of the overseas Chinese in Vietnam are doing business and buying houses and land here. They will not stay here for a long time and can return home often. They will not show up at the dock early in the morning. Those who show up at this time are all the lower class people in the country. , who went to sea to survive.

They did not return to the country after they came. They were taken care of by the guild gangs outside and had nothing to do with the Ming government. Over time, they forgot the authority of the government. At this time, when they saw it, they were surprised to feel the power of the Ming government.

After getting up from the ground, Gai Feng's face looked ugly. Anyone who was forced to kneel down in public would be like this. Don't think that the ancients knelt down every day and thought they didn't care about kneeling. Then you also have to look at who they were kneeling on.

.They are all officials, parents, teachers and the like.

If kneeling down didn't matter, then it wouldn't be a etiquette for these special people to show their status.

"What are you looking at, and you haven't left yet." He reprimanded the onlookers, then turned his head, looked at his subordinates who had also just stood up from the ground, and cursed, "They are all a bunch of trash, what are you doing here?

, all go back."

Afterwards, under the secretly sneering expressions of the onlookers at the pier, the gang left in a hurry. He did not return to his residence, but came to the Chinese Association and sent a message asking people from various Chinese gangs to come over.

Have a meeting.

The sun gradually rose, and soon, as a co-director, the Zhonghua Guild Hall, which resolved internal disputes, became crowded. Several prominent figures from the Fujian Gang, Chaozhou Gang, Guangdong Gang, Hainan Gang and Hainan Gang who gathered scattered people came over.

.

"Everyone has been delayed for so long before coming here. You should know what happened at the pier this morning!" Gai Feng asked with a cold face. He was in a bad mood. He was forced to kneel down, which was very embarrassing for him.

, and then after thinking about it clearly, he was helpless. The other party was an official and he was a citizen. What should he do?

It was precisely because of this that his mood became even worse. The man in question was from the Chaozhou Guild Hall. As a place below Guangdong, it was able to independently establish gangs and guild halls. This shows that the local sea business is prosperous, the number of people is huge, and the power is huge.

big.

At that moment, there was a person with a dark face, a very thick look, and even one eye was blind, staring at it and yelling, "We can't just let it go, we must give an explanation from Ming Dynasty."

"If you want an explanation from the Ming Dynasty, you Sea Wolf are so brave! Who are you going to ask for an explanation? The governor of Guangdong? That General Shen outside? Or the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" A fat businessman dressed as a member of the Guangdong gang spoke up.

Said sarcastically.

"You..." Sea Wolf suddenly became angry, opened his mouth and cursed, "You son of a bitch, how dare you laugh at me."

Then, there was a quarrel among each other. How could the Chinese doing business here have no conflicts over time? With the idea of ​​unity, they could still work together when facing foreign enemies, but now they are not from other places.

, but generals from within the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible to get everyone to work together.

Those who had conflicts immediately took the opportunity to get angry, scolding first and then talking.

"Okay, stop arguing." A tall and thin old man couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him. He was very prestigious here, and as soon as he said his words, the scene quickly became quiet. The old man is the host of the Chinese Association and is

The largest force under the Hakka Gang, because he is extremely fair in dealing with matters and has always had a high prestige, the China Guild Hall has become the center of discussion among the five major gangs.

"Ahua, this is the end of your matter. Don't think too much. Kneel down to a senior official of the third grade. You won't suffer. In the past, it was your blessing to see such a senior official.

Here." The old man first settled the matter and ended the dispute.

"But..." Ah Hua, that is, Gai Feng wanted to refute, but under the old man's majestic gaze, his voice unconsciously weakened, and he finally agreed. He was not a stupid person, and naturally knew that he could not shake Shen Yourong.

, just because I couldn't get over it for a while and couldn't turn around, now that the old man gave me the steps, I naturally had to go down. Because of the old man's words, other people would not say anything about it, otherwise they would not have offended him, and the old man and others

The forces behind him were also offended.

"As for the Ming Dynasty fleet coming to Feifu Port, we are not the local people who can really make the decision. Please stop making small moves. If the other party comes to find someone who wants people or goods, try to satisfy them. Everything will be waited for by the country's leader.

Ruan Fuyuan's reaction." The old man finally made his decision.

"Yes." The leaders of several gangs agreed one after another and then dispersed. They had to make so much money every day, how could they be delayed because of this little thing.

"These are such troubled times!" The old man sighed quietly as he looked out the window.
