Chapter 2312 The name of Hong Kong is Qingmei, the God of Water and Fire
Chapter 2309: Hong Kong name is Qingmei, Water God Fire God
Why did Ye Qingmei feel at ease to let Magellan return to Qingbei with only one thousand naval guards? Are you not afraid of the interception of the navy of Chu and Ming countries?
I''m really not afraid.
The Chu navy is also an inland naval army and does not have the ability to navigate at present. Moreover, the Chu navy is deployed in Jingzhou, and there are not many naval army in Jiaozhou.
As for the Ming Dynasty naval army, although it has the ability to navigate, it can be as difficult as climbing to the sky on the vast sea without radar technology, unless the two sides agree to meet or know each other''s waterway in advance.
Not to mention Mingguo, we don’t know at all that the news of Magellan returning to the flight with a large amount of goods.
Even if they know, they don’t know Magellan’s route. After all, Magellan’s route will change at any time, so naturally they can’t find Magellan’s traces.
Even if he took a step back, Magellan had spies around him and passed the net of heaven and earth to reveal the fleet''s route, it would still be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to ambush Magellan.
The reason is very simple. The shipbuilding technology of Ming Dynasty was far behind that of Qin.
In the fight, Magellan naturally could not defeat the Ming Chu naval army, but if he fled later, with the speed of the Ming warships, he would not be able to catch up with the Qin warships at all.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Qingmei was relieved and bold, and asked Magellan to lead a thousand navy troops to **** huge amounts of goods back.
Shortly after Magellan left, Ye Qingmei not only completely completed the business docking with the heads of various forces, but also negotiated the time and share of the next transaction.
After doing these things, Ye Qingmei was able to leave, but she did not leave, but continued to discuss port construction and management issues with major forces.
Although this simple port was built by Ruan Yue, there are not only Ruan Yue''s forces in Annan. In addition to them, Annan also has eight forces, so naturally it will not allow Ruan Yue''s forces to control the dominance of the port.
In addition to the local forces in Annan, the Nanman also wants to interfere in the dominance of the port.
With the opening of the sea trade between the Qin Dynasty and the major forces in South China Sea, even fools know that this port is a chicken that can lay a steady stream of golden eggs.
The Southern Barbarians are already poor, and whether it is internal development or trading with the Qin Dynasty, they all require a lot of capital income, so they naturally want to share a little of the profit from the big cake of the harbor.
Nguyen Phuc Ying and Li Gongyun were naturally unwilling to suffer losses in their interests. Even in the face of the oppression of many heads of forces, they still refused to give in. The two sides argued constantly, and even almost staged a full-scale martial arts campaign.
Seeing that all parties were constantly arguing, Ye Qingmei proposed to set the port within a radius of 20 miles into a free trade zone, and be jointly managed by multiple forces. Any force is prohibited from going to war in the trading zone, otherwise all forces will fight together.
As soon as this suggestion was released, it was approved by all forces, including the Ruan Yue family.
It’s not okay to disagree, after all, you can’t keep such a stalemate.
Their purpose of building a port is to trade and to strengthen itself through commercial exchanges with Daqin. If the port is destroyed, it will be harmful to them without any benefit, so naturally we must support the practice of the free trade zone.
As for the management rights of the port?
The Ruan Yue family definitely cannot monopolize it. Since this is the case, it is better to bring Daqin in and use the interests of the port to trap Daqin.
In the end, after a day of discussion, the port was jointly managed by the Qin, Ruan Kingdom, Yue Kingdom and the Southern Barbarians, and the other eight forces were excluded.
Although the eight major forces in Annan were dissatisfied with this, they could only express their acceptance. After all, the eight forces of their families were indeed too weak and were not qualified to be on the same side as these four major forces.
Ye Qingmei did not want to participate in port management, but in order to trap Daqin, the Ruan and Vietnamese barbarians insisted on joining the group together and took the initiative to give in to a large number of interests. Then Ye Qingmei naturally had no reason to refuse.
After the meeting, Nguyen Phuc Ying smiled and said with a smile, "Mr. Ye, this harbor does not have a name yet, so why not just name it by Lord Ye."
It’s impossible not to please. After all, the arms and various supplies they need are all supplied by the Daqin family, so naturally we have to please Daqin’s father.
Seeing this, Li Gongyun couldn''t help but curse Ruan Phoe in his heart, but immediately echoed: "This harbor was built to trade with Daqin, and it should be named by Lord Ye."
As soon as this statement was made, the other eight forces also agreed and all asked Ye Qingmei to name the port.
Ye Qingmei was a little flattered. After all, the heads of so many forces were flattering her, a woman, and this feeling was quite wonderful.
"Since that''s the case, then I will be disrespectful."
Ye Qingmei showed a thoughtful look. After some thought, he spoke, "It''s better to call Qingmeigang."
Gai Nie Weizhuang couldn''t help but twitch when he heard this. They never expected that Ye Qingmei''s face would be so thick that he actually named the port with his own name. Isn''t this disguised way to make himself famous?
"Good name."
Ruan Phoe-ying''s face showed admiration. He has recently become obsessed with Han culture and is extremely obsessed with poetry in the Central Plains, so he couldn''t help but read Li Qingzhao''s "Dian Jiang Lip·Sweeping"
"He walked away from the door and looked back, but sniffed the green plum. It''s worthy of being Lord Ye, and a name is so poetic."
Ruan Phoe Ye thought that the "Qingmei" mentioned by Ye Qingmei was the "Qingmei" in Li Qingzhao''s poems, but she didn''t know that Ye Qingmei was just naming her own name.
The rest of the people didn''t know the deep meaning, and they all agreed, saying that Ye Qingmei''s name was good, which made Ye Qingmei even more embarrassed.
To be honest, Ye Qingmei''s ancient poetry is average. She only knows the most famous poems about Li Qingzhao, and this poem "Dian Jiang Lip" is obviously not in her knowledge reserves.
Even foreigners abroad know Li Qingzhao''s poems, but she, a Han man, doesn''t know them, which also made her determined to make up for the poems.
It just so happens that there are still many books in the goods that have not been sold. You can take them out and read them when you are bored in sailing.
Seeing Ye Qingmei look embarrassed, and the leaders clearly don’t know anything, but are still flattering him brainlessly, Zhu Rong burst into laughter.
"You guys, you just know that if you don''t know, pretend to understand. The light eyebrows that Lord Ye said are the lightness of the lightness, and the ''eyebrow'' of the eyebrows is not the green plums you mentioned."
Everyone was a little confused, but when they looked at Ye Qingmei''s expression, they knew that Zhu Rong was right. They really thought too much and even flattered him wrongly, and they couldn''t help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Okay, the green eyes are clear and the mountains are far away, the light eyebrows are better than the other ''green plum'', and I am worthy of being Lord Ye."
Li Gongyun continued to compliment, but in short, he just flattered. No matter what name Ye Qingmei chose, he could whisper to you, which made Ye Qingmei himself unable to complain. After discussing with Qi Jiguang, Ye Qingmei decided to leave a minister and 300 soldiers to stay in Qingmei Port. This arrangement can not only manage the port, but also strengthen contacts with major forces.
After everything was finalized, Ye Qingmei was naturally ready to continue sailing, but what she didn''t know was that the Nanman Camp was having a heated discussion because of her.
"Princess Zhurong, General Gonggong, and although Daqin and Annan have traded with all parties, there are still more than three million stones of supplies on the ship. If our Nanman can take it over, we will never be short of weapons, equipment and supplies in the future."
Meng Huo said greedily, and encouraged Gonggong and Zhurong to **** the Qin Dynasty''s supplies directly.
“No.”
Zhurong refused decisively and said with a cold face: "The Qin Dynasty came to trade with good intentions with our Southern Barbarians. If our Southern Barbarians forcefully robbed the supplies of the Qin Dynasty, they will completely offend the Qin Dynasty, the strongest country. Once the Qin Dynasty unifies the Central Plains in the future, our Southern Barbarians may suffer a catastrophe."
Meng Huo looked disbelief and said disdainfully: "Although the Qin Dynasty is strong, it has not yet unified the Central Plains. If the Central Plains is truly unified, it will definitely become the enemy of our southern country.
So if this batch of supplies is snatched, can the Qin Dynasty still fly over to attack my Nanman? ”
Zhu Rong''s eyes were even colder, and he said in a cold voice: "Meng Huo, you have never been to the Great Qin and don''t know how powerful the Great Qin is, so you dare to say this. If you have seen the Great Qin with your own eyes, you will definitely not have this idea."
Under Zhu Rong''s cold eyes, Meng Huo couldn''t help but shivered. Although he still didn''t care, he didn''t dare to continue to confront Zhu Rong.
Zhu Rong turned his head and looked at Gonggong. Seeing that he was still confused, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Gonggong, do you really want to hear the idiot Meng Huo''s words and turn Daqin, who should be friends, into an enemy?" Zhu Rong said angrily.
"Don''t be excited, sister Zhurong, don''t be excited first."
Gonggong laughed awkwardly, and he was indeed moved.
The value of this batch of goods is too great. If the Nanman can get it, its overall strength will be doubled directly, and several years of development will be saved. How can Gonggong not be moved?
But Gonggong was moved, but he also knew that this batch of goods was a hot potato. He neither dared to grab it nor felt that he could definitely grab it.
If the Southern Barbarians really take action, Annan and other major forces will not agree, and will even help the Qin Dynasty attack the Southern Barbarians.
In Meng Huo''s view, more than 100,000 Annan troops could not defeat 10,000 Chu''s second-line troops, so the five thousand people were enough to sweep the 40,000 to 50,000 Annan troops present.
Gonggong might also think so before, but now he obviously won''t think so anymore. After all, the 40,000 to 50,000 Annan army has equipped the equipment bought from Daqin, and its combat power is much stronger than before.
Moreover, Annan has more than 40,000 to 50,000 troops. If these forces are really offended to death, these 5,000 of them may not be able to return to the Southern Barbarians.
In addition, the Qin navy was not a decoration. From the perspective of Gonggong, it can naturally be seen that the Qin navy is elite and is equipped with a large number of powerful crossbows. Whether the Southern Barbarians can break through the Qin crossbow formation is a question.
It is precisely because of this that Gonggong dares not forcefully rob goods. After all, once he starts, he can only do this transaction and will never be able to trade with Daqin in the future. On the contrary, he will continue to obtain materials through transactions.
In comparison, if it cannot be 100% successful, Gonggong will naturally not dare to take action easily.
Zhurong was finally in a good relationship with Daqin this time, so he naturally did not want to be destroyed by Gonggong.
Zhurong forced Gonggong to make repeated assurances, but he was still worried. So he went to Ye Qingmei overnight and revealed the situation on the southern barbarian side to Ye Qingmei, hoping that Ye Qingmei could go out to sea as soon as possible.
As long as the Qin fleet is on the sea, the Southern Barbarian army will naturally give up the idea of ??forcing it to rob.
Ye Qingmei was shocked when she heard this, and she was completely unaware that Gonggong, who said, "I will not forget friendship" secretly had the intention to force the robbery of supplies.
However, after a brief shock, Ye Qingmei quickly calmed down. The Qin warship was not only filled with arms, but also many weapons on the ship. With such a small army in the southern barbarians, it is impossible for them to break through the fleet''s firepower network.
If Gonggong really dared to come, Ye Qingmei would be 100% sure to keep the five thousand elite troops of the Southern Barbarians completely, so he politely declined Zhurong''s plan to go to sea in advance.
The next day, Nguyen Phuc Ying and Li Gongyun and other major leaders of Annan, as well as Gonggong Zhurong of the Southern Barbarians, prepared to send Ye Qingmei to sea together after holding a farewell ceremony for Ye Qingmei.
Before leaving, Ye Qingmei smiled at Gonggong with a point of view: "I was so disappointed. I thought there would be some fools who didn''t know the world would come to force the supplies of our Daqin fleet."
Gonggong couldn''t help but be stunned, feeling a little guilty, and said with a forced smile: "The Great Qin is the most powerful country in the world. Who is so unhappy and dares to strengthen Qin?"
"Yes, I think so, but there are always some self-righteous idiots in the world, General Gonggong, do you think so?" Ye Qingmei said with a smile.
“Uh…this.”
Chonggong couldn''t help but sweat from his forehead. He naturally heard that Ye Qingmei was mocking him and didn''t know how to answer for a while.
Ye Qingmei said to himself: "Although the number of people led by the envoy is not large, the combat power is not weak. He has equipped 6,000 powerful crossbows alone, and 2,000 continuous crossbows on the warship, which can shoot out tens of thousands of arrows in one round of attack.
Under such firepower, even if a hundred thousand troops attack, our Qin fleet can defeat it and retreat calmly. Those small forces with only tens of thousands of people will die when they come.
But I didn''t expect that this time, no force dared to take action. It seems that I can''t establish my authority this time. ”
Hearing this, Gonggong''s back was sweating profusely, and he felt more and more glad that he had not listened to the idiot Meng Huo. If he really went to grab the supplies of the Qin fleet, his five thousand elite soldiers would probably not be able to go back.
Ye Qingmei cursed Gonggong in person, and he was naturally extremely happy, but Gonggong was in trouble and naturally could not refute it. However, Ye Qingmei was still very annoyed when she heard it.
Gonggong stepped forward and approached Ye Qingmei and said in a deep voice: "What if the idiot in the mouth of Zunzun, what if he hijacked Zunzun and threatened the Qin Dynasty?"
Ye Qingmei looked at Gonggong like a fool, then pointed to Gai Nie Weizhuang beside him and said, "The two guards of this envoy are both masters of the half-step master level, and they are even better than most masters in their joint efforts.
Not long ago, they were the ones who captured the great master of the Demonic Dao Chonglou alive, so it was not easy to hijack the original envoy. ”
Gonggong couldn''t help but take a breath. He never expected that a mere messenger would have two half-step masters to protect him. Has the masters of the Qin Dynasty spread to this point?
