Chapter 752 The power of etiquette

Shi Jinqing was immediately overjoyed, but on the surface he remained calm. He didn't care about toasting Handu, and went directly to the leaders of several forces, lowering his attitude and toasting one glass after another.

Han Du looked at this scene with a smile, savoring each mouthful.

When people from several forces left the Shi family in a crooked manner, they were captured by secretly prepared hands as soon as they walked out of the door. People from several forces never dreamed that Shi Jinqing would take action against them, and there was not even the slightest disturbance.

Lift it up and everything is under control.

On the second day, everyone was suddenly shocked to realize what happened last night, and they were facing Shi Jinqing, who was sure of victory. Anyone who had the strength to oppose Shi Jinqing had already been defeated, and naturally none of the remaining people dared to do so.

To express doubt.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Han Du stood up from behind and said to everyone: "The Ming Dynasty has decided to establish the Xuanwei Department of Jiugang here. From now on, Shi Jinqing will be the Xuanwei Envoy of the Xuanwei Department of Jiugang, which is also the highest official of Old Port."

Having said this, Han Du smiled at everyone and said in a arrogant tone: "The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, 10,000 miles from east to west and 12,000 miles from north to south. There are 5.5 million households and a population of more than 20 million.

The silk, tea, and porcelain that you covet in your eyes are all specialties of the Ming Dynasty."

"The wealth of the Ming Dynasty far exceeds your imagination; the military force of the Ming Dynasty is beyond your reach. There are 220 guard posts in the nine-border towns of the Ming Dynasty, and each guard post can gather 5,000 strong soldiers, a total of 11

One hundred thousand. As for the Ming Dynasty Navy, Ben Bo brought thirty-three warships and more than 20,000 soldiers on this trip. The Ming Dynasty Navy had 5,000 warships and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Its power was unmatched!

"

"The Ming Dynasty is the supreme kingdom of heaven and the ruler of all nations. Countries such as Siam and Java that are unattainable in your eyes, even as far as the Japanese country in the east, Korea in the north, and the Chagatai Khanate in the west, all bow to the Ming Dynasty. Year after year they bow to the Ming Dynasty.

Pay tribute."

After Han Du finished speaking, he stood quietly and looked at everyone indifferently.

Shi Jinqing translated Han Du's words word for word for everyone to listen to. Shi Jinqing couldn't help but be fascinated with each sentence he translated. He was too young to remember anything about the Central Plains because the Shi family fled.

He only knew about it from the mouths of the old people at home and the Central Plains books left at home. Although he was originally interested in this, he could not help but have some doubts about the authenticity of the book. In Old Port, tens of thousands of people are considered the overlord.

It was really hard for him to imagine what the Central Plains was like.

But now after listening to Han Du's words, he finally has a vague concept of the Ming Dynasty. He also finally knows why the old people in the family often have words about the Central Plains in their mouths and are so obsessed with the Central Plains. Even the Shi family has been able to

After establishing a foothold in Old Port, they never showed any intention to further improve their status in Old Port. Instead, they spent a lot of money to find out all the news about Zhongyuan. The old people all looked forward to one day returning to the Central Plains.

Shi Jinqing didn't understand it at one time, so he asked the old man at home, but the old man just said to him, "I would rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head." At that time, he didn't understand what it meant, but now he knows.

It is a phoenix, and Jiugang is just a chicken. A phoenix with one tail can defeat countless domestic chickens.

Moreover, other people were even more stunned after hearing Shi Jinqing’s translation. They didn’t even have Shi Jinqing’s knowledge, so naturally they were even more stunned.

They were shocked. The thirty-three warships brought by Han Du were enough to awe them, but now Han Du said that the Ming Dynasty had five thousand warships.

All the people's legs went weak, and they collapsed on the ground with frightened faces on their faces.

"Oh? Why is this?" Han Du had a big smile on his face.

Shi Jinqing laughed dryly and said in a harsh voice: "Uncle, tomorrow is so powerful that they are all willing to surrender."

"Really? That's good." Han Du didn't go into details. As long as Shi Jinqing said they surrendered, then they would treat it as surrendering. It doesn't matter even if they are not convinced orally, the Ming Dynasty's cannons will make them surrender.

After thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "I announced that the Ming Dynasty Old Port Xuanwei Department was established, and Shi Jinqing was appointed as the first Xuanwei Envoy." He winked at Li Zengzhi.

Li Zengzhi was the second son of Duke Cao, and he was familiar with various court etiquettes. Upon seeing Han Du's signal, he immediately stood up and shouted to Shi Jinqing in public: "Kneel down!"

Shi Jinqing was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand how this happened suddenly when everyone seemed to be in harmony just now. But he saw several old people from the Shi family looking at him frantically, asking him to kneel down immediately.

Shi Jinqing knelt down in a daze.

Li Zengzhi looked solemn and said immediately: "Since Mr. Shi is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he should enter the palace to see the emperor. But now that the matter is urgent, he should also kneel three times and kowtow nine times towards the north."

Shi Jinqing was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't even know what the three-kneel-and-nine-kowtow ceremony was. Fortunately, several old people from the Shi family were present and hurriedly stood up and apologized to Li Zengzhi, and then taught Shi Jinqing step by step. Finally, everything was done. Etiquette.

After Shi Jinqing's courtesy was completed, it was logically the turn of Han Du and Li Zengzhi to represent the imperial court. However, Li Zengzhi didn't know what to use as a token of Shi Jinqing's appointment as the consolation envoy, so he had to look at Han Du.

Han Du came out for revenge this time, and it was impossible to bring an appointment from the imperial court. After thinking about it, he took out his gold medal, showed it to everyone, and said: "This is given to me by His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. With this gold medal, you can enter the palace to pay an audience at any time. The Shi family is overseas, but they still love the Ming Dynasty. They are so loyal, so I will give this gold medal to Shi Jinqing on behalf of the emperor's holy will."

After saying that, he handed the gold medal to Li Zengzhi.

Li Zengzhi took it and naturally followed the etiquette given by the emperor. Then he presented the gold medal to Shi Jinqing.

Shi Jinqing excitedly raised his hands and took it carefully. When he saw the words "I am here in person" on the back of the gold medal, his reaction was quite acceptable. However, the old man from the Shi family next to him started to tremble with excitement, as if he was shaking.

After everyone explained to Shi Jinqing what the words "I am here in person" meant, Shi Jinqing felt infinite gratitude to Han Du. If the Shi family originally suspected that Han Du was instigating them to stabilize the old port, Then they would be kicked away. But now, there is no longer any doubt.

"I thank the Emperor for his grace, and the Shi family is willing to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty forever, with no regrets from generation to generation." Shi Jinqing held the gold medal and once again knelt three times and kowtowed nine times toward the north.

At the end, he stood up and bowed to Han Du, "The Shi family will always remember my uncle's kindness. As long as my uncle has needs, the Shi family will never shrink back through fire and water." Shi Jinqing was immediately overjoyed, but on the surface he remained calm.

Regardless of the toast, he went directly to the leaders of several forces and lowered his attitude and toasted one cup after another.

Han Du looked at this scene with a smile, savoring each mouthful.
