In Roman law in Justinian's time, there was a word like Vis maior, and the word force majeure was also familiar with Bering.

The Dutch stock exchange has been around since the Chongzhen period, and the bubble stocks that beat the drum and pass the flowers have been played three or four times, and this kind of legal vocabulary has to be used all day long, and Bering heard it all the time when he was a researcher in Amsterdam.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Seeing that Liu Yu had already prepared the steps, Bai Ling thought about the robber-like behavior of these people, and knew that there was no good fruit to eat in the confrontation.

It sounds like China also has the idea of exploring nautical charts, and it is still to explore the legendary southern continent, so Bering has not made any more useless resistance.

The expedition team on the ship consisted of about forty people. The ship is not big after all.

After screening, I divided the twenty or so Swedes and Dutch, and the rest were the Russians and the Japanese Messenger.

Bringing these people over, Liu Yu smiled and said, "You may not understand, I am the most reasonable." Give you a chance to make your own choices. ”

"If you want to stay, you will stay willingly."

"If you don't want to stay, I'll let you go."

A few of the Russians were overjoyed, thinking to themselves the Virgin Mary, what a good man had met.

However, their euphoria only lasted for half a minute, and the subsequent words made them recognize Liu Yu's true face.

"I'm the most reasonable. People are not things. However, things are not also people. You have been captured by me, and everything on you is my trophies, including shoes, clothes, muskets, etc. Right, that's also reasonable. ”

"Alright, the choice is free. Are you coming with me? Or go back? ”

The few who had already stepped out on half a foot all retreated.

Is this called free choice?

In such a place, there is no clothing, no muskets, no food...... What is the difference between a direct shot and a direct execution?

Eighty years ago, perhaps the tribes here would have come to the rescue when they saw the people in distress.

But over the years, the Cossacks have been angry and resentful, and if they are really found by the tribe alone, they will be dead.

Even if it is not discovered by the tribesmen, tigers, black bears, mosquitoes...... If you are naked, you may not live for more than three days, and it is even better to jump into the Amur River and drown yourself now.

He cursed in his heart that this was a satan-like demon, but he said, "We went with you voluntarily, and we all did it voluntarily." ”

Liu Yu clapped his hands and praised: "Great! All were voluntary. Get off the boat, I'm going to count the loot. ”

As the men were about to leave, the Swedish first mate asked, "Sir, does this mean that China and the Russian Empire are at war?" ”

"At war? What kind of war? I'm patrolling my own land, and you don't have any paperwork and you carry muskets with you. This is an anti-smuggling and arrest of illegal entry, how can it be regarded as a war? Hold it down. ”

Waving his hand at the back, a group of soldiers rushed over, pressed them into the dinghy, and went to the shore to settle down first.

Liu Yu was like a cat that had walked into a dried fish factory, looking at the large number of maps left by Bering and excited.

Siberia, Baikal, ...... along the Heilongjiang River There are both Bering surveys and mappings, and Bering gets them from the navy, and the drawings are very accurate, especially the direction of some rivers and the location of mountain ranges.

This is exactly what Liu Yu wants most.

Seeing that Liu Yu was so excited, Jiao Lao Butu and Du Feng, who were following behind, asked tentatively: "My lord, don't you really want that person named Bering to find some kind of fertile Southern Continent?" ”

These days, when Bering threw himself into the net, Liu Yuxian's eggs hurt, so he told these people what the world was like. Let them know where China is and how big the world is.

During this period, he boasted about Australia, which had not yet been discovered at this time, saying that there were no mosquitoes and gadfly feces in that place, but the ground was full of fat grass.

Although they are all "speculations", if they can be found, they can solve the suffering of many people and few places in the country.

Jiao Lao Butu and Du Feng and others were already convinced of Liu Yu, although what they said was full of loopholes - they didn't find out how you knew that the place was so good - but they still believed that this was some kind of reasonable "inference".

Seeing that Liu Yu did not kill these people directly, Jiao Lao Butu guessed Liu Yu's thoughts.

Liu Yu sorted out the map in his hand, didn't raise his head, shook his head and said, "I'm not stupid." Bitter hatred of pressing gold thread year after year, making wedding clothes for others? ”

"The dynasty went to Japan, and since the Song and Yuan dynasties, there has been no direct flight. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, he could only recite the song of the needle road to go to Taiwan, jump the Diaoyu Islands, fold the Ryukyus, and then go to Nagasaki. Japan doesn't even understand, but still go to the southern continent? At this time, if you find the southern continent, wouldn't you spend money and effort to find it for the Westerners? ”

"It's just to catch it back and train some children who know how to navigate and map in advance. Anyway, when they returned to the capital, they had nowhere to run if they wanted to. ”

"If there is no sailor, there is no colony. Thousands of miles apart, what should I do if I learn from Li Jun in "The Legend of the Water Margin" and become the lord of the country by learning from "The Three Heroes of Wind and Dust"? The sailors cannot control the South China Sea, and His Majesty will not agree. Even if His Majesty agrees, the land will be cultivated easily, and the Dutch and the British will rob it, but it will save the people's business, and there will be no need to cultivate it. If the sailor can't beat others, he can only just watch, what's the use? ”

"I'll just say that, and lie to them, and don't believe them."

Jiao Lao Butu heard the indescribable depression in Liu Yu's tone, thought about what he had seen and heard along the way before, and asked: "My lord, what is the level of this Rakshasa country in Xiyi now?" Could it be that the Xiyi people are really strong enough to make adults depressed? ”

"Rakshasa? The Chu of the Warring States. The land is thousands of miles wide, and all are wild; Self-proclaimed barbarian, wanting to watch the politics of China. The sailors are like Qin, and the chariot soldiers are like Wu. ”

This evaluation is very yin and yang, the sailors of the Qin State and the chariot soldiers of Wu Yue ...... Jiao Lao Butu probably understood, pondered for a moment, and asked: "As the lord said, the benefit of our dynasty is in the South Seas and not in the cold and bitter Northland?" With the Rakshasa as a beggar, the Rakshasa wants to observe the politics of Western 'China', and will fight with the Western countries, and the north is not a big problem. It's bitter cold here, you can't raise many people, you can't open too much land, why don't you Xingshui and go to the South Seas? ”

Liu Yu did not answer directly, but took out a map of Lake Baikal and the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River from the map collected by Bering, and asked the two to come around.

Pointing to the shore of Lake Baikal and the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, he said: "You all know that Your Majesty wants to raise an army to attack Russia. I don't need to hide it from you, you guessed it. In your opinion, is Your Majesty for the land under our feet? ”

Neither of them knows much about the general situation, and the Sanjiang Plain at this time is indeed just the Great Northern Wilderness, a real ghost place, claiming to rather go to the ghost gate than come here.

After guessing, it's hard to say, Qi Qi looked at Liu Yu.

"Since the siege of Baideng, the north is a great disaster for the country. Xiongnu, Turkic and even Mongol. Those who are worried about the DPRK, Mongolia also. However, now that there are more and more firearms, the Mongols are no longer in trouble, and what the court is worried about is that the Mongols have turned to the Rakshasa as a vanguard. That's why we have to fight this battle. ”

"To put it bluntly, this battle was fought for the Khalkha Mongols. What the DPRK and China care about is the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River and the line of Lake Baikal. As for us here...... The reason why His Majesty asked me to find the monument of Yongning Temple and survey the topography of this place is just to prepare to talk with my mouth during the negotiation, and the north bank of the Heilongjiang River must be used as a bargaining chip. ”

"Occupy the southern shore of Lake Baikal and the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and one is annexed by Mongolia; If there is an opportunity, as long as there are more troops on Lake Baikal, the Rakshasa country can be cut off, and the east and west will be divided into two; You can also go down the Heilongjiang River and sweep along the way. ”

"North of Lake Baikal, in the bitter cold land, even if the Rakshasas go around the north to support the east, there are only a thousand people, and this is not for nothing?"

"If the people of the DPRK and China are sober-minded, they will definitely fight for the west and give way to the east. Once the demarcation is completed, there will be no more fighting in the north for a short time. ”

"You two and I are familiar with each other, and I can be regarded as showing you two a way. The fate of people must not only rely on self-struggle, but also consider the general trend, and we must stand on the crest of the wave and know where the wave is going. ”

As soon as they said this, the two of them suddenly became energetic.

Liu Yu first glanced at Jiao Lao Butu and said with a smile: "Brother Shu, I won't talk about it, after this matter, it is necessary to cut down the northwest." Brother Shu has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Although the frontier is hard, it has other benefits...... In the future, if Brother Shu has the opportunity to vacate the general, remember to go to the Rakshasa border to fight for it. ”

"Even if the west is fighting for the east, the dynasty will also make concessions on border trade. Brother Shu remembers to exert himself towards the lack of children on the border. ”

There is no need to say it thoroughly, Jiao Lao Butu nodded, thinking that if he can really open border trade and be able to serve at the border, although it is harder, but the money cannot be less.

As for the relationship walking...... Since Liu Yu said so, Jiao Lao Butu thought that he would make meritorious contributions in the northwest in the future, and there would be people in Lord Liu's father's circle to help him, so it was not a matter of holding a handle?

When the time comes, it is natural to repay the favor, if Lord Liu has any way to make money, when he can use himself, of course he will repay it.

After finishing speaking, Liu Yu looked at Du Feng with a smile and said, "As for Xiao Du, if you want to believe me, you can learn to sail with those Westerners." You already have a foundation in geometry, and if you are also smart, it should not be difficult to learn. ”

"When you get out of Wude Palace, it is estimated that the northwest side will be finished. You have to be born ten years early, so that you can catch up with the military exploits of the Northwest. But now, eating can't catch up with the heat. It's better to prepare in advance and see if you dare to bet. ”

"If the imperial court really goes to the South Seas in the future, you will tremble! If the imperial court does not go to Nanyang in the future, then it should be a gamble to lose. ”

"Anyway, if you lose the bet, that's it...... Your dad is a Lieutenant. I'll speak straight, don't be angry, as soon as the war in the northwest is over, you don't even have a backstage, and your father's relationship is also here, and you will survive until the end of the fourth rank official. ”

"You are different from me, I started as a guard, and I can directly enter the outer house of Wude Palace without exams. You've been studying hard for ten years, but it's just the same as when I started when I was seven years old, and besides, I still have a duke's father and a duke's uncle, what do you have? The biggest official your father has ever seen, that is, the Jilin Defense Envoy, right? It has to be a cup of tea to drink when you go to give a gift. ”

"But if the imperial court goes to the South Seas in the future, the opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. The hard work of the cantilever thorn strand is self-struggle; What to learn, it is necessary to consider the course of history. ”

"Grandpa Yue's great ability, if it weren't for the southern invasion of the Jin people, he might be a 'thief with an army' if he didn't have the same hanging style as the Song Dynasty was peaceful. Northwest Yiping, where else do you go to make meritorious contributions on land? Pingnan Tusi, such a gold-plated thing, we noble sons are still waiting in line, your turn? ”

"Why don't you find another way."
