"There is no way, and I don't want to do it."

Zhang Gui replied in a deep voice.

Then, Zhang Gui said with great interest: "But the Ming Dynasty needs to free more Han people from the slavery and oppression of Buddhist temples, and then go global to mine and earn profits for the Ming Dynasty. You should know better than me that there is no better people than the Han people. Why do we leave such people to you for enjoyment?"

"Besides, can you defend such a useful people if you are not enterprising?"

"Now, if the court does not take away these people, it will only be taken away by the powerful foreign barbarians in the future. Instead of letting foreign barbarians take away, it is better to let the court take away the Han people controlled by the aristocrats!"

Zhang Gui said again with a trace of contemptuous smile.

When Zhang Gui read history in later generations, he discovered that China didn’t know what happened. After unification, it either died from internal collapse or was cheaper than foreigners.

In short, because meat eaters do not regard the people as human beings, the entire civilized system gradually tends to only try their best to plunder the people's wealth and ointment, and even to fool the people. The result is that either the people can't bear it anymore because of the great famine, or foreigners take advantage of your illness to take your life.

For the latter, even if there are few foreigners, they can ride on the heads of Han people and become more Han masters.

The well-operated Qing Dynasty could still ride on the heads of the Han people for more than 260 years, and it could end peacefully without being retaliated on a large scale.

Therefore, Zhang Gui said at this time that if the court did not take control of the Han people from the hands of these Han landlords, it might be taken away by foreigners in the future.

The so-called Han landlords naturally included not only gentry, but also monks and Taoist temples with vast fertile land in the world, as well as vassals and generals.

Now, the Ming Dynasty has almost completely cleaned up all the gentry, vassals and generals.

Only the Buddhist temple is left.

These Buddhist temples who, in the name of religion, have widely purchased fertile land and evaded taxes, and have also collected private slaves and soldiers in the name of monks and lay disciples, are undoubtedly the last piece of private land for those who still want to live a feudal landlord life in the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhang Gui arrested Xuye and washed Longzang Temple, he became more convinced that he would persuade Tianqi to increase his efforts to rectify and suppress Buddhist temples in the future.

What's more, he now discovered that after a few years of layout, many people have lurked in these Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. Even today, even the eldest disciples around the old monk Xuye are from his Western factory.

The Han landlords did not leave the last chance to enslave the Han people as serfs, and the Zhang Gui, externally, would continue to turn foreign barbarians into slavery to satisfy the instinctive desire of the Han people to be superiors.

According to Zhang Gui's idea, if there really is someone in this world who needs to live like a cow and a horse to maintain the stability of a ruling system, then these cows and a horse are worse than to let foreigners do it.

Why is the Ming Dynasty in this era clearly the most powerful empire in the world, but the Han people in their own country still have to be the cow and horse?

And can't the Anglo-Saxons always be in the most powerful position in the world like the Anglo-Saxons in later history after they had the most powerful empire?

Therefore, Zhang Gui decided to take back his control over Hao Jing and turn all the foreigners of Hao Jing into cows and horses that can be enslaved.

Zhang Gui had issued a Jun order and could not let any foreign barbarians occupy Haojing go away because these foreign barbarians had committed serious crimes of investing in and interfering in the internal affairs of the dynasty because of their support for the pseudo-democratic dynasty in the south.

Luo Lang, the governor of Haojing in Portugal, also discovered that after returning Wang Wenkui and other rebel ministers, the Ming army fleet surrounding Haojing did not withdraw.

This made Luo Lang feel disappointed and angry.

Therefore, he had to take the initiative to send his official Domingo to contact the Ming army and ask why the Ming army had not withdrawn.

"They said that whether they withdraw or not, they will only obey the orders of Zhang Gui, the supervisor appointed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was appointed by the Minister of Military Affairs of the Nanyang."

"In addition, they also said that returning the property of Han and Han people is what we should do, and there is no bargaining place."

"We also say that we should keep a clear understanding and not get what we get through the strong ships and cannons. Don't fantasize about the kindness of others! Not everyone is a Bodhisattva, even a Bodhisattva will not respond to your request just because you donated a lot of incense money and kowtowed for many years."

After I also conveyed the original words of Ming Minister Zhang Guowei to Luo Lang, Luo Lang's fantasy was completely broken, so I rubbed my face that had not been good for a night and said:

"I shouldn't have imagined that they would withdraw because we cooperated with their requests, but what else can we do if we don't try this? This is a powerful Eastern empire, and we are indeed no match for it!"

Luo Lang also had a clear understanding of the power of the Ming Dynasty, so he knew that he could not resist with force.

But the more he is, the more powerless he feels now.

However, he couldn't even let him give up Hao Jing.

Because Hao Jing is so important to him in Portugal!

After all, Haojing is a hub for the trade lines between China, Japan and North Korea.

These three countries are now a country with very developed markets in the world.

Therefore, because of these three trade lines, how much wealth they bring to Portugal every year is immeasurable!

It also brought in immeasurable how much wealth the Han landlords who monopolized the export trade of raw silk, silk, tea, porcelain, etc.!

It seems that these Portugal, which occupied Haojing, had already discussed it with the Han landlords in the Ming Dynasty, but they did not let the former Emperor Ming know about this and knew that their empire had so much money-making trade.

But now it is different. In order not to be a slave to the destruction of the country, Zhang Gui let Tianqi know all this and also let Tianqi taste the sweetness of external expansion.

Therefore, now the Ming Dynasty court is coming to seize this trade hub.

Once the Ming Dynasty court rectified its internal affairs and mobilized state power to recover this trade hub, no force would dare to stop it.

However, what Luo Lang would not have thought was that Zhang Gui not only wanted Hao Jing, but also people like them.

"What! The Ming army in Guangzhou came to me from the land with a large number of Haojing?! There are more navy members gathering here?!"

Soon, Luo Lang learned a more terrible news from Rild that Zhang Gui asked Zhu Xieyuan to command the army to gather in Haojing after recapturing Guangzhou Prefecture.

Therefore, shortly after this, Hao Jing was surrounded by the Ming Dynasty's water and land army.

Luo Lang's own country's army is also far away from Goa, India, and cannot compete with the Ming army, so now he only feels desperate.

Luo Lang and other Folang Ji people in Haojing were like a group of sheep surrounded by wolves, and they had no power to fight back at all.

Therefore, after Zhang Gui issued an order to persuade surrender, Luo Lang, other Folang Ji people in Haojing and the Japanese soldiers they hired, all announced their surrender.

Luo Lang was also taken to Zhang Gui and asked on his own initiative: "Master, what crime did we commit? Why did we take away the Haojing City we rented?"
