    The second Governor of Hong Kong, Jiang Liang, stood at the Government House on the hillside overlooking the beautiful harbor in front of him. The neatly planned and beautiful new district, with spacious avenues winding to the end of the field of view, connects other important places in Hong Kong.  place.

    In the huge harbor area, large ships are moored quietly, and on the high lighthouse, the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty is constantly fluttering, declaring the ownership of this land.

    Looking at the sea farther away, the Atlantic Ocean in winter appears to be turbulent, with billowing white air steaming on the sea surface, smoky and vast waves, and the heat of the Atlantic warm current constantly nourishing this ancient land.

    ¡°What a beautiful place!¡±

    Jiang Liang couldn't help but admire softly.

    He traveled all over the country and visited too many places, including Japan and Korea, Siam and Sulu in Southeast Asia, Tianzhu, and Golden Island.

    Finally, he came to Europe, traveled in Europe, became the Ming Dynasty¡¯s embassy in Europe, and now became the Ming Dynasty¡¯s governor of Hong Kong, and will be permanently stationed in Hong Kong in the future.

    I have been to many, many places. To be honest, the island of England is not the most beautiful, and the climate is not the best either.

    It is far less peaceful than Golden Continent, which is like a paradise, and it is not as hot as the Mediterranean, but it also has its own beauty. The climate is humid all year round, warm as spring, accompanied by continuous drizzle, always with a trace of nostalgia.  People can't help but recall their hometown of Daming.

    "This place is still too far away from our Ming Dynasty!"

    Jiang Liang sighed.

    He really wanted to go back to the Ming Dynasty to have a look, see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, feel the vastness of the Ming Dynasty, see his relatives and friends in the past, drink and chat, and for him now, this is also a luxury wish, his hometown  Everything has become a bit blurry.

    ¡°Dong dong~¡±

    While Jiang Liang was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door of his office.

    "Please come in~"

    Jiang Liang came to his senses and shouted.

    ¡°My Lord Governor, these are the imperial edicts and newspapers from the Ming Dynasty that just arrived today.¡±

    The visitor is Xie Yi, the Viceroy¡¯s Assistant Minister at the Governor¡¯s Mansion.

    Because Hong Kong is far away from the Ming Dynasty, travel is extremely inconvenient, and information transmission takes a long time. In order to fully protect the interests of the Ming Dynasty, the governor's power is very great.

    When Tian Erniu was the governor of Hong Kong, he controlled the military, administrative, taxation and personnel appointment powers in Hong Kong. He was almost the same as the local emperor here, holding all power in his hands.

    During the war with the Ottoman Empire, Tian Erniu led a fleet to attack the Ottoman Empire. The fleet behind it directly became the Ming Dynasty Black Sea Fleet. Tian Erniu also returned to the Ming Dynasty from Nanyun Province, Hezhong, and the Western Regions, and resigned as the governor of Hong Kong.

    After Jiang Liang became the second Governor of Hong Kong, his power was much smaller. First of all, in terms of military power. The Ming Dynasty sent a navy and an army to Hong Kong to take charge of maritime and land military affairs respectively. The Governor no longer  Have military command authority.

    The second is the power of taxation. The Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty sent taxation officials to establish the Hong Kong Taxation Office in Hong Kong, which is responsible for collecting taxation. The governor has no right to interfere with taxation matters.

    But even so, the power held by the Governor is still very huge. He holds the administrative power here and the power of personnel appointment in Hong Kong. At the same time, he can almost make decisions on many affairs in Hong Kong with one word.

    The Governor of Hong Kong¡¯s rank in the Ming Dynasty was the third grade, which was almost equivalent to the official of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the imperial court also placed the foreign affairs of Ming Dynasty and Europe on the Governor of Hong Kong.

    Therefore, the Governor of Hong Kong also has many official positions. The Governor's Assistant is a new official position, equivalent to the Governor's deputy, responsible for assisting the Governor in handling affairs in Hong Kong and Europe.

    "Hmm~"

    Jiang Guangming nodded, picked up the decree sent from the court and read it.

    After reading it carefully, Jiang Liang couldn't help but ponder for a while, and then asked after thinking: "Xie Yi, what do you think of the decree issued here?"

    "The higher-ups should be worried that the Holy See will be unfavorable to us in Hong Kong. After all, our Ming Dynasty slapped the Holy See severely."

    Xie Yi thought about it carefully and said.

    "The above concerns are justified. Judging from the recent news, the Holy See is very close to the King of England. The Holy See even directly sent personnel to England to help train the English army, and  It is said that the Holy See promised to lend money to Henry VII."

    Jiang Liang was originally the Ming Dynasty¡¯s diplomatic envoy to Europe.Agreement.

    This is absolutely unacceptable to Spain.

    It is not only about the huge war reparations and the importance of Hampshire to Spain, but also about the face of Spain's leading brother in Europe.

    ??The Three Kingdoms War was finally won, but the fruits of victory have not yet been tasted. Henry VII is about to break the contract. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Spaniards?

    This is absolutely unacceptable to the Spaniards who have always regarded themselves as the best in Europe.

    Therefore, the King of Spain is also taking action, contacting all parties, and not necessarily protecting his own interests. At the same time, he also wants to take this opportunity to tell European countries that Spain is the big brother of Europe, and any behavior that harms Spain's interests will be strongly criticized by Spain.  be opposed to.

    "This is absolutely unacceptable to our great Spain, and the perfidious English pirates must also be punished!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
