The Westerners who came to Daqi were not only from Portugal, Spain, but also from England and France. They didn't come together. They just bumped into each other when they happened to meet on the route. Very unfriendly, seeing the Spanish and Portuguese fleets who are also envoys, they immediately win over.

European countries have always had marriages. The grandfather of the Viscount Jose brothers who came with the Portuguese fleet is the current king of England. In addition, England is now powerful, so they are biased towards England. The Spanish messenger has both sides, and no one can be blamed, the French messenger. Couldn't find an ally, and suffered from all kinds of anger along the way, and there was friction. When they were about to reach Daqi, the four ships found another group of pirates.

The ships of European countries do business by the way, of course they also fight pirates by the way, and sometimes they even act as "adventurers", expanding the territory of their countries, and planting flags on the new lands they discover.

Of course, no one is better, it would be better if there are people, which means they don’t have to look for labor.

The ship of the four countries packed up a lot of pirates along the way, and also divided a lot of gold and silver jewelry. France has been pushed forward as a forward because of its weak power. Even less, this time the grievance reached its peak, he refused to do anything, and only chased the pirates lazily behind, he thought, first chase the people back to the other side's island, then land on the shore, the messengers of the other three kingdoms If he didn't do his best, he would let people rush directly to the pirates' nest to grab something. Anyway, it was almost time for Daqi. He didn't need to let the English envoys anymore. .

The French messenger had a good idea, but he didn't want to meet Qi Haoran and the others to test the gun.

If the artillery fire is casually put into the sea, although it has tested its power, it will not hurt anyone, but it will also waste the artillery shells. Thinking that there are still some pirates in the sea, and Pedro's group of artillery is large, there is no need to provoke them to test the artillery. But there are some pirates farther away, and it would be good to kill a group of pirates while testing the gun.

Therefore, the warship went all the way out of the Guangzhou waters, and saw a medium-sized sea ship fleeing desperately here. Unfortunately, Qi Haoran on the sail was very familiar with the group of people who were driven out of the Guangzhou waters by him. Eastern pirates.

Originally more than 500 pirates were killed and scattered by him, but now there are only about 200 people. Qi Haoran was excited when he saw the sign. He commanded the warship and went over, estimated the range of the guns, aimed at the ship and fired.

The ?? gun hit the hull, and the ship overturned at once. The pirates on board fell into the water one after another. The French fleet behind them couldn't help but stop when they saw it. They looked at the overturned pirate ship in surprise, and looked at the battle ship of Daqi from a distance.

The warship soon arrived at the place where the pirates fell into the water. Qi Haoran would interrogate the pirates of his own country. Those who had lives in their hands would be killed. Those who didn't were sent to the army or exiled, or sent home. , always put to death.

There were officials who impeached Qi Haoran for indiscriminate killing, but he was suppressed by Qi Xiuyuan, and secondly, there were not many officials in the DPRK to support him, so it was over. Qi Haoran never changed this form.

Qi Haoran and others also discovered the French fleet and the fleet behind them. Although there were some doubts in their hearts, they were not afraid, so he told the translator to get ready, and sent troops to salvage the pirates.

The treasures of these pirates have not yet been found. He will not kill them easily, but only four or five people are left.

When the envoys on the French fleet saw that the other party was ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the pirates, their faces turned pale. Although they robbed the pirates, they would not kill them all. They stole most of their treasures along the way, and then pierced the ship and left. .

Seeing the other party act like this, the messengers on the ship guessed that they were officers and soldiers of a nearby country.

Sure enough, Qi Haoran quickly asked the soldiers to semaphore to inform the other party that this is the territorial waters of Daqi, and asked the other party's identity.

The French messenger glanced at the pirates who had been pulled aboard by the other side, and asked the soldiers to semaphore to tell the other side their identity as messengers.

So, Qi Haoran picked up the envoys from the four countries ahead of time.

Qi Haoran waited for the English fleet behind, and directly stated that these pirates disturbed the messenger ships, and Da Qi, as the host, would decide for them, and directly took over the pirates.

Naturally, interrogating pirates and destroying each other's nests and treasures in their nests also belong to Daqi.

Although the messenger of the four kingdoms is very sorry, but he has just seen the iron and blood methods of Daqi Prince, and no one asked the question of treasure at this time.

Originally, the envoys from various countries should be hosted by the local government, but when Xiaoxiong and Xiaobao on the warship heard that they had to provide food and lodging for so many people, they suddenly felt distressed, "How much does it cost?"

Fan Zijin, who was standing on the side, was silent. The Shikoku fleet did indeed bring a lot of people. In addition to boatmen, soldiers and servants, there were also merchants accompanying him. ."

The envoys from the four countries didn't think there was anything wrong. They also spent their own money on missions to other countries. Thinking of being separated from the brigade, the envoys from the four countries politely declined and went to live in the Foreigners' Chamber of Commerce. The inns on that road are all-inclusive, which greatly improves the development of the hotel business in Guangzhou.

Qi Haoran also wanted to generate income for more merchants, so he was urging the envoys of the four countries to take their men and caravans to the capital. In Qi Haoran's words, "The capital is rich and prosperous, and the prosperity of goods is not comparable to that of Guangzhou. Businessmen in your country should go to the capital if they want to see more of the great Qi recipes."

The envoys of the four countries are very excited, but the price of Daqi is too high. They bring so many people to Beijing, and the expenses along the way are a lot. Therefore, they are reducing the number of people recently and plan to bring some more delicate goods and some guards to the capital. The rest of the crew stayed in Guangzhou and waited.

And the Portuguese messenger got in touch with Pedro.

In the eyes of Daqi people, Pedro is a pirate, but in the eyes of the Portuguese, Pedro is their count and a great "adventurer".

From Pedro, they knew that Daqi had a strong attack on pirates. The pirates who had been flooding in the Guangdong waters had been suppressed by seven to eighty-eight. Although the scope of his activities has moved a short distance away, he still occasionally Conflicting with Daqi officers and soldiers, he has suffered a lot of losses over the past year, so the profit and risk of staying here as an adventurer are not equal. If he wants to change careers to do business, the adventure activities should be carried out in another place, he It is hoped that the Portuguese envoys can come forward and discuss with the Daqi court to lease a place to dock the ships, so that their activities will be more convenient in the future.
