Chapter 30 Sovereignty

When the Sanshun King went south, Huguang, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces fell one after another. Huguang and Guangxi were about to become the targets of the attack of the Daxi Army to go out of Yunnan to fight the Qing Dynasty. The two Fans of Shang Geng were in Guangdong, and the Yongli Dynasty was about to be finished no matter how they looked. The Macau side naturally took the initiative to "submit a document" to the Qing Dynasty, saying that they were willing to be "the loyal and loyal people of the Celestial Dynasty" and were willing to abide by all the regulations under control. They also expressed that they would "respect the emperor's virtue and power, live in a small corner, and guard the dangers on behalf of others", and "strive to pay tribute and taxes", which was completely a vassal of the Celestial Dynasty.

In this era, Europeans' discrimination against China was far from arose, and the Central Empire was also the object of admiration and envy by the vast majority of Europeans. They made great contributions here, and those missionaries and maritime merchants who brought Western science and technology to China also brought back the grandeur of transformation, economy and other aspects to Europe, attracting more people's yearning for this Eastern Empire.

"What the Prince said is very important. As a vassal, he should serve the Celestial Empire. This is his duty."

The mercenaries from Macau came to Guilin to assist the war, and it was the eunuch Pang Tianshou who went to Macau to fight for it. Although Bugatou was not the governor at that time, he still knew about this. Chen Wen came to him and mentioned it, and his original uneasiness was relieved a lot, so he responded immediately.

But Chen Wen all maliciously thought. Macau's respectful attitude was the same as the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. However, when the Opium War ended, these "Civil and loyal people" suddenly remembered their European identity. Even if the country declined, they did not even have the qualifications to stand in the European War. However, out of their ignorance of the Qing court, they still obtained a large amount of political and economic benefits through blackmail and forced the Qing Dynasty to cede Macau as a Portuguese colony.

Thinking of this, Chen Wen picked up several letters on the table and handed them over to Buga Road. Buga Road just took a look and immediately understood what Chen Wen was referring to.

"Your Excellency, I did not agree to this matter. It was just that the thief was powerful and Macau was in a small place and dared not compete with it. I had to give it a false promise."

"Your Excellency Bugalu has learned a good academic knowledge of Chinese studies. Even the Snake knows that many people in China have mispronounced it. You can even read this correctly. It seems that you have put in effort."

After Chen Wen's teasing, Bugalu quickly replied: "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. I am very interested in the profound and profound transformation. I like reading very much..."

It seems that the elders like to read children. The officials in ancient China also looked at the barbarians who like to learn Han culture. Bugalu was obviously proficient in this. However, after saying this call, he did not see the pride of the Ming and Qing officials he had contacted before.

"It is a good thing to like reading, but you must remember that in China, you must accept Chinese management and strictly abide by Chinese laws before you can do nothing."

"What the Prince said is that I must remember it."

Hearing Chen Wen's words, Bugalu immediately realized what Chen Wen wanted to do next. And what happened next was not too unexpected.

"Come here, please refer to the magistrate Yao."

A moment later, a young civil servant in his early thirties came with his personal soldiers and respectfully saluted Chen Wen. When Bugalu saw the patch of the crocodile pattern, he immediately understood Chen Wen's intention.

As expected, after the civil servant finished his ceremony, Chen Wen introduced to Bugalu: "This is Yao Qisheng, the new Xiangshan magistrate, who will be responsible for managing Macau's administration in the future. In terms of judicial affairs, there are other officials who are on the way. At that time, in terms of Macau, the Portuguese and administrative affairs, they should obey the magistrate's leadership, and in terms of judicial affairs, they will obey the constraints of the county's criminal prosecution officer. If you are dissatisfied, you can sue them step by step according to the regulations, and everything will be the same."

This Yao Qisheng is no other person, but the Yao Qisheng who later pacified Taiwan for the Qing Dynasty. This person was from Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang. He was now thirty-two years old in the tenth year of Yongli, but he was relatively late to enter the officialdom. In the second year of Kangxi after the Great Deeds of the World, he was later promoted from white to the position of governor of Fujian during the Three Feudal Affairs Rebellion. He was also a legendary figure at that time. However, as early as the second year of Kangxi, Yao Qisheng had actually entered the officialdom and obtained the first official position was the magistrate of Xiangshan. As a result, he was dismissed and investigated by the Qing court for his arbitrarily banned the sea.

In recent years, the chaos in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was unclear. After Yao Qisheng fell into a bad position at home, his brother-in-law Huang Xiguen left Beijing with Dingyou, so he went directly to the civil servant training class. Later, Chen Wen saw his name in the civil servant appointment report, so he simply changed the magistrate of Xinyu County, Linjiang Prefecture, Jiangxi to the magistrate of Xiangshan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong, and was waiting in Ganzhou to take office.

This guy is quite famous in later generations, mostly from a TV series. The historical reality in the TV series is wrong and cannot be counted. However, before Chen Wen appointed, he sent someone to check the resume of this person and knew that this person was definitely not a good person. He simply asked him to come over to mess with the Portuguese, which was also considered as the best use of the people.

Bugalu understood Chen Wen's meaning. In Macau, due to the great changes in Fujian and Guangdong, and Guangzhou was previously the territory of the Shang family, the Ming Dynasty could not reach it, and the Qing Dynasty was even more out of reach. Instead, it became a power vacuum. Originally, the officials appointed by both the Ming and Qing dynasties were unable to count due to the change of the order, and the magistrate of Xiangshan was unable to protect himself. Macau had completely become the Portuguese. Chen Wen introduced the magistrate of Xiangshan to him, which clearly meant to restore the Ming court's rule over Macau.

When he met with each other, Bugalu dared not argue. In fact, he had realized that this matter would happen sooner or later, and the Ming court would not give up its administrative and judicial power over Macau. With this psychological preparation, Bugalu agreed with it. However, Chen Wen's next words still scared him.

"I am very satisfied with your attitude. I have a letter, and I asked you to pass it on to your king Ruo IV. As far as I know, your country is seeking to restore the country, and our Ming Dynasty has been fighting hard with the Tartars for many years. Your country can send troops to help the war in the midst of our Ming Dynasty. I highly appreciate it. However, Macau is an inseparable part of our Ming Dynasty and will never become like Ceylon, just like your country cannot lose Algarve. This attitude, I need your country's king and overseas committee to understand."

The War of Restoration of Portugal is still in progress, and it is still a matter of whether it can be successful. At the same time, Ceylon, a foreign colony of Portugal, that is, Sri Lanka, later generations, is being besieged by the Dutch, and the overall situation is very bad for the Portuguese.

Chen Wen seemed to know too much, and he really scared Bugalu. After being shocked, the governor quickly took the letter and said that he would definitely deliver the letter.

Next, Chen Wen did not mention any too nutritious topics, such as commercial and trade discounts, military manufacturing, and especially the business of the Bugalao Casting Factory. Chen Wen was not very interested, but just said that he would ask Buga Road to talk to relevant officials. He was plagued by common affairs every day and did not have much energy to pay attention to these things.

When I ordered tea and saw the guests, Bugalu stood up and said goodbye. Looking at the back of Bugalu's far away, Chen Wen then said to Yao Qisheng: "I will give you a term of office. Starting from the authority of administrative management, I will try to restore Xiangshan County's full authority over Macau and drive out all the Portuguese ruling institutions such as the Governor of Macau and the Macau Council. The criminal prosecutor will cooperate with you and be able to do it and work in the Yue Palace. If you can't do it, then slowly investigate."

"The officials understand that the officials must do their best."

Today, the territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is under the jurisdiction of five provinces and six governors. Zhejiang Governor Sun Yu and Jiangxi Governor Wang Jiang are from Dalanshan and have a close relationship with Chen Wen. At the end of last year and this year, the governors of Nanzhili, Fujian, Guangdong and Nangan are all officials who have worked in the Yue Palace. It is a bright future to enter the country.

Yao Qisheng has never been a conservative person. Now that he has such an opportunity, he naturally has to hold it as much as possible. However, he has a big question in his heart, but he dare not ask more in front of Chen Wen.

Fortunately, his family was originally an official family, and his brother-in-law Huang Xiguen had already passed the Jinshi in the Chongzhen period, which was called a long-term officialdom. It was not until Huang Xiguen's reply that Yao Qisheng, who was already in the Xiangshan County Government office at that time, could have completely figured it out.

"The Portuguese occupy Macau, and the dynasty was reluctant to tolerate it because it could use this to contact Western France. The King of Yue was so powerful that he could defeat the world. The brink of the brink of the world and was invincible. The brink was strong and no one could defeat him, but only he could easily conquer the Portuguese people. He did not care about the little men and horses of the Portuguese people. Now he refused to send troops, not afraid, but he could not. The Tian family was baptized, the queen, the queen and even the prince all believed in the Thai religion and had an extraordinary relationship with the Portuguese people. Although he was a prince, he was not qualified to decide whether to expel the Portuguese for the emperor."

In Huang Xigun's letter, Yao Qisheng smelled more and was naturally concerned about what Chen Wen arranged. This strong malice came doubled, but it was a few months later.

Buga Road left Guangzhou, returned to Macau by boat, and returned to the Governor's Office located at the Fort, and then retelled it one by one with the Macau Council. The elite class among the Portuguese Macau were helpless.

From Chen Wen's words, they could easily hear that he had a certain understanding of the situation in Europe. Now, Portugal's own situation is very bad, and the countries are eyeing each other, and it is unknown whether the war to restore the country will be successful. More importantly, the bastion that Europe 6 regards as being conquered through siege was actually broken on the Chinese battlefield. And it was the work of His Royal Highness the King of Yue that their fortifications in Macau were not necessarily able to be defended.

"We don't need to have too unpleasant affair with Chinese officials. Everyone knows what happened back then. This place took a lot of effort to get it. Local officials should give some money. Our Royal Highness King Yue also has the skills to cast cannons, which can also be used as a communication link with Thais. If it doesn't happen, isn't there any more Emperor? Only by being submissive and making the Chinese feel profitable can we stay for a long time."

The Macao Council of Parliament expressed its attitude for the members, and everyone agreed. The Portuguese colonized East Asia initially with a conflict with China. From Guangdong, to Fujian, and then to Zhejiang, they wanted to occupy a piece of land several times, but were defeated by the Ming court. Finally, they obtained the right of residence in Macau by bribery.

Bribery of local officials, technical bribery of the Ming court, and maintaining a respectful attitude towards the Celestial Kingdom. This is the only rule for the Portuguese in Australia. This matter was basically settled, but another thing was born after the departure of Bugat Road, and the Governor and the Council urgently needed to make a decision.
