Chapter 88 The Bleeding Kangxi (please read more! Please recommend!)
The next day, Ma and Tai found a few theater troupes to set up a stage to act. He had already thought of the title of the play: Makassar Tribute.
He found out clearly that after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the new generation of Eight Banners children had long since lost the hard-working appearance of their fathers. The imperial court returned their money every now and then, and the green battalion soldiers basically took care of the war.
In the chaos of the San Francisco, Kangxi saw that the Eight Banners were useless, so he could only rely on the green battalion soldiers.
Over time, no matter whether it is full of Eight Banners or Mongolian Eight Banners, they live a life of luxury and corruption every day. From time to time, they come to Bada Hutong to listen to Goulan ditties.
Moreover, the Qing Dynasty was very special. It was forbidden to live with prostitutes but not to have sex with actors, which led to the popularity of male sex in the Liyuan circle, and it became the trend of the upper class to find a "sister-in-law".
Whether it is a scholar or a businessman in the capital, whichever gentleman he likes, he will be invited to drink tea and have a meal after the performance, and gradually develop into a relationship of mutual love between the same sex.
Ma Hetai wondered why these Luzon natives are a bit exotic, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.
Of course, the most important thing is to exhibit the night pearl, to make a name for it, if you don't believe that Kangxi doesn't want this treasure.
The eight hutongs were not like this at the beginning. It was said that the Qing Dynasty implemented "banner people living in separate cities". The eight banners all lived in the inner city of Beijing, and the Han people moved outside the Qianmen.
The inner city is like a military castle, full of Eight Banners soldiers, no shops, no hotels, no theaters, so all entertainment centers and commercial centers have been moved to the outer city, especially in Bada Hutong.
Today, the minister of the Ministry of Rites is so black that he heard that there is a tribute group from Nanyang. Because they don't understand the rules of the Qing Dynasty, they can't see the emperor, so they have no choice but to come to Bada Hutong to sing operas to make a living.
It is said that they have a great treasure to present to the emperor, but they cannot enter Zhengyang Gate.
Sai Sehei is very curious. He is about to retire. If there is no accident, he will leave in March this year. This matter is under his control. He has to stand on the last shift.
When I am old, it is not easy to come to Bada Hutong. Today, he wants the old man to talk about the teenage madness, first watch the theater, and then stay at night.
Ma Hetai heard behind the stage that a high-ranking official came to see the play today, and he realized that the opportunity had come. Before that, he only acted and never exhibited Ye Mingzhu.
He didn't reason because he was afraid that someone would do something wrong and be robbed.
Although this Ye Mingzhu was given to Kangxi by name and surname, no one dared to snatch Kangxi's treasures, but he was not afraid of [-], just in case, the capital was mixed with fish and dragons, and if a hero who opposed the Qing Dynasty and Fuming came to take a fancy to Ye Mingzhu, he would not alright.
A high-ranking official like Sai Sehei must sit in the best seat when he comes to listen to the play. Seeing the protagonist arrive, the Ma Hetai show will start immediately.
The old eyes are dim and the color is black. I didn't pay much attention to it. I found it a bit dull. Isn't it a story about a small country in Nanyang who was bullied by the Dutch red-haired barbarians and came to the Qing Dynasty to seek protection.
If there are too many countries like this, if everyone wants to clean up, can the clean-up be managed?
Sai Sehei yawned, wondering if he should leave early to find other fun.
Just as he was about to get up, suddenly the lights in the arena were blown out.
Sai Sehei thought to himself: What's the situation, someone is going to assassinate the old man.
After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a huge night pearl on the stage, which was the size of a watermelon.
Seeing the old Sai Hei's face flushed, it's inconceivable how such a treasure could be in the hands of some Nanyang fans.
Immediately, he realized that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come. If he presented this gift to Emperor Kangxi, wouldn't it be possible to bring his career as Minister of Rites to a successful conclusion.
Many people around him thought the same as him, so he immediately left Bada Hutong, transferred the green battalion in charge of the outer city defense, and surrounded Ma Hetai's theater troupe.
Of course, this is not robbery, Sai Sehei will not kill Ma Hetai and the others.
What a gimmick that a small country in Nanyang offers treasures from thousands of miles away!
And such a treasure, originally because the admiral of the Nine Gates didn't give it to him, he didn't know where it would go. Thanks to him, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, with his insightful eyes.
Soon, he came to Ma Hetai, who was positioned as a Makassar businessman in the tribute group and came to act as an interpreter.
"My lord, it's an honor to meet you. I'm a businessman from Makassar Kingdom." After finishing speaking, Ma Hetai knelt on the ground with great interest.
Minister of Rites, Sai Hei, looked at the bald head in front of him, and said, "It turns out that he is a businessman from your country, please hurry up!"
"Thank you, my lord! We look forward to the suffering of the Jiaxi Kingdom. Now we bring the most valuable treasures from all over the country here just to seek the protection of the Qing Dynasty. The red-haired barbarians are too cruel!" Ma Hetai complained.
It's really valuable, this Makassar country is pretty good, Sai Sehei thought.
"It's okay, today I will arrange for you to find a place to live in the Huitong Hall, and the Holy Majesty will definitely meet you in a few days." Sai Sehei promised.
The Huitong Hall was the place where the Qing Dynasty specially received foreign guests. It was not easy for the Ma and Thai tribute groups to finally live in the place they should live in!
At the same time, Sai Sehei ordered the servants of the same hall to entertain the guests of the Makassar Kingdom well, not to neglect, and to do their best to protect the night pearl of the Makassar Kingdom from being stolen.
The next day, Sai Sehei immediately reported to Emperor Kangxi about the Ye Mingzhu presented by Wangjiaxi Kingdom, for fear that someone would take his credit.
After Kangxi heard this, he was ashamed and delighted, and immediately gave the tribute group a chance to meet the Qing emperor.
He, Kangxi, was really happy about this matter. Even the small countries in Nanyang knew that they would come to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, he was also curious about what such a big night pearl looked like.
Soon, Ma and Tai knelt down again in the Ziguang Pavilion, and this time it was impossible not to kneel.
As a businessman, being able to come to the Ziguang Pavilion to meet the Qing emperor was indeed the highlight of his life.
"Long live the emperor, long live!"
"Get up, I know about your visit to the Jiaxi Kingdom."
Kangxi didn't talk too much, it was no problem to protect a small country, so he immediately asked Ser Sehei to give a stamped document, but he couldn't control whether the Netherlands recognized it or not.
He had seen that luminous pearl, it was indeed a rare treasure, but it would be troublesome to return the gift!
Because of the tribute system, the Qing Dynasty had to pay back.
Reciprocity is common among people, and between countries is no exception. Tributary countries pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty also needs to grant titles and rewards to the tributary country.
Therefore, many tributary countries came to grab the Qing's wool in the name of paying tribute.
This is troublesome, this watermelon-sized bead is worth several million taels of silver.
There was no other way, Kangxi had no choice but to give everything from tea, porcelain, silk, cotton cloth, gold, silver and jade, to jewelry, and even sent a lot of lucky boats, knives, guns and armor.
Isn't the Makassar country unable to defeat the red-haired barbarians, then give them some weapons and armor, and the Qing Dynasty will be as benevolent as possible.
Fearing that they would not be able to transport the goods, they even sent them a ship, which is simply the top ten sovereign states.
The gift that Kangxi gave in return was definitely no less than 200 million taels of silver, it was a bloodbath!
