Chapter 87 Makassar Tribute Mission (Please follow up! Please recommend tickets!)
The New Year's Eve in 1681 is coming soon, and the capital of the Qing Dynasty is covered in silver, showing solemnity and solemnity everywhere.
Thick snowflakes floated above the capital, shining faintly under the sunlight, swaying in the wind and snow, as if they were about to fall to the world at any time.
The flow of people on the street came and went, shuttling among them, it seemed that the great earthquake in the capital two years ago had slowed down, and the whole capital was still bustling and lively.
The streets are covered with red paper, a piece of red, as if covered with red cloth, very festive.
On the street, some small vendors sell all kinds of strange and ancient things, such as candied haws, fried chestnuts in sugar, chestnut cakes, everything.
In front of the food stalls in the capital, there are many coated minions surrounded by money rat tail whips. Most of them are queuing up to buy snacks, and some are bargaining with their Beijing accents.
This is the outer city of the capital, where the enslaved servants and the Han people live, while the inner city is where only the bannermen can live.
At this time, a slightly exotic carriage drove slowly from Yongding Gate, attracting many people to stop and watch.
Yongdingmen is the main entrance and exit of the southern city of the capital, and the destination of this carriage seems to be Zhengyangmen, which leads to the inner city.
Zhengyangmen is the main gate of the inner city of the capital, located in the south, and it is the national gate of the Qing Dynasty, representing the "face" of the imperial court.
When foreign envoys came to see the emperor, they had to enter and exit through Zhengyang Gate.
Speaking of which, there are nine gates in the inner city of the capital, each with its own purpose, and if you go wrong, you will lose your head.
Especially Zhengyangmen, there is a gate in the middle of the archery tower of Zhengyangmen, which is specially used for dragon chariots and phoenix chariots.
The emperor passed through this city gate when he went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices and to cultivate land at the Xiannong Temple.
Ordinary people are not allowed to go to Zhengyangmen, and if they go wrong, they will be dispatched to the frontier, and at worst, they will lose their heads and beheaded.
Therefore, Kangxi also established an official position called "Admiral of Nine Gates".
The so-called Admiral of the Nine Gates is responsible for the nine gates of the inner city of the capital. These nine gates are: Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Anding Gate, Desheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate.
The security of the nine gates in the inner city of the capital was entrusted to the admiral of the nine gates, that is to say, he was responsible for the wealth and life of the royal family, which shows how important the admiral of the nine gates is.
The first Admiral of the Nine Gates was Dong E Fei Yanggu, who was born in the Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria. After the famous general of the Eight Banners, he was highly regarded by Kangxi.
In 1679, Wu Sangui died of illness. During this critical period, Fei Yanggu led the Qing army to march towards Yunnan and Guizhou, and put down the San Francisco Rebellion.
After the San Francisco was pacified, Fei Yanggu returned to the capital, and Kangxi immediately promoted him to be the Minister of the Guards and the Nine Gates Admiral.
At the age of 35 that year, he became the youngest and closest minister under Emperor Kangxi.
It's almost the Chinese New Year, but Fei Yanggu has a troublesome thing.
It is said that a group of envoys from the Makassar Kingdom on Sulawesi Island said that they would pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty and offer holy treasures.
Fei Yanggu naturally disagreed, what kind of lump is this Sulawesi Island, and what the hell is the Kingdom of Makassar?
Who knows if it is true, what if it is Jing Ke who assassinates Qin Qin?
If something happened, he wouldn't have to be the admiral of the nine schools. The greater the official position, the greater the pressure.
"Tell them, go wherever you come from. Not all wild cats and dogs can pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty. My Qing Dynasty is rich in the world, but I don't have any treasures." Fei Yanggu said with a look of disgust.
"Hey!" The subordinate who was kneeling on the ground immediately went out to chase him away.
Hey, this fake and shoddy luminous pearl full of radiation, Qing Dynasty really doesn't have it!
It turned out that this tribute mission was composed of Luzon businessman Ma Hetai, guard Da Wula, and a group of educated Luzon natives. In order to present Zheng Kezang's New Year gift to Kangxi, they came all the way here and pretended to be Makassar people spent a lot of money on the road.
Not long after, the subordinates of Feiyangu Eight Banners Infantry Battalion told them the exact words of the nine admirals, and told them that today was not the day for paying tribute, and told them to go away.
Ma Hetai shaved his head bald, and he was afraid that if he had long hair, he would be caught and beheaded by these murderous Manchurians.
He still doesn't give up. This is an important task that Zheng Kezang entrusted to him. The safety of his business and family in Luzon depends on Zheng Kezang's mood.
Ma Hetai took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the Eight Banners soldier's hand: "Master, please do me a favor. The Kassik people are very sincere. We want to seek the protection of the Qing Dynasty. Please!"
The Eight Banners soldier picked up the silver and bit it with his mouth to make sure it was real, so he put it away.
"It's not that I don't want to, Master Fei Yanggu doesn't let you in, and I, a slave, can't be the master." The Eight Banners soldier pretended.
Damn, if you don't do anything after receiving money, this Manchurian is not authentic, Ma Hetai cursed in his heart.
"Thank you, Mr. Jun, thank you, Mr. Jun." Seeing that they couldn't get in, Ma Hetai and the others could only find an inn to stay and find another way out.
In fact, Fei Yanggu was right, the tribute of the Qing Dynasty was not so casual.
The conditions for the conclusion of the tribute, that is, first of all, the form and the tribute must be submitted to the Qing court. "Foreign tribute, the form and the relics are the proof. The fact that the governor inspects is the only way to submit the tribute."
When Daqing feels that you meet the requirements, everyone will discuss when to come, which way to come, and what to bring when you come.
After that, it will become an official tributary country, and it will be fine to follow the previously agreed tribute.
How should I put it, tribute is an advanced form of alliance, and of course you can't just give tribute if you come here casually.
This kind of Ma Hetai is a malicious tribute, and there is no reason for coming here without the consent of the Qing Dynasty.
How to do it?
The businessman's head was still turning quickly, Ma Hetai thought of a trick, so he simply exhibited the heavy treasure that Zheng Kezang gave him, and he didn't know what the night pearl looked like, Da Wula had been guarding it well.
In the inn, Ma Hetai tried his best to convince Da Wula to agree to his plan.
"Sir, you should show me His Highness's Ye Mingzhu this time." Ma Hetai flattered.
Da Wula gave him a look and motioned him to go to the door to see if anyone was eavesdropping on the corner.
After confirming his safety, Da Wula finally showed him this football-sized luminous pearl.
When Da Wula blew out the candle, in the dark night, the luminous pearl shone with white light, illuminating everything in the house like daytime.
Ma Hetai's breathing became short of breath, his hands trembled excitedly, and his eyes shone with hot light, as if he had seen a scene of ten thousand taels of gold and a house full of treasures.
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?" Da Wula asked.
"This kind of treasure is definitely a rare and rare treasure in the world. Why did His Highness give it to the damned Emperor of Tartars? It's a hidden gem!"
Ma Hetai beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling very sorry in his heart, if he was allowed to operate, he would not be able to sell hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
"Hateful! Hateful!" Ma Hetai didn't calm down for a moment.
However, Da Wula was unmoved, because His Royal Highness secretly told him that this thing is poisonous, so don't get too close!
