Hawkins had heard of the Far East for a long time, but his trajectory was concentrated in the Atlantic, and he didn't know much about the East, but he firmly believed that no matter where he was, even if it was heaven, Huang Jin was still the best key, and no one could refuse the charm of gold, as long as he relied on money to open the way, he could gain the favor of the top of the East, and then get the support of the Ming Dynasty.

With Da Ming as his backing, he didn't have to be afraid of the Habsburgs, maybe he could really marry a princess, become a nobleman, and be awarded the title of knight.

From a pirate to a nobleman, what a remarkable achievement!

His descendants will be proud of him.

This is all Hawkins thinks, after he came to Daming, he found a translator, and then inquired, a very important person died.

In the West, weddings and funerals are the most important social occasions, and he is eager to meet the big names in the Eastern world.

He met Zhang Juzheng, came to the Siyi Pavilion, and saw a vast sea of books...... Not to mention those works of the East, the works of the West alone are ten times better than the British Royal Library!

Hawkins reads hard, reading Western works and reading Eastern books that have been translated...... He was desperate to get to know the Great Ming, and he had vaguely understood that this was a huge world, a world that was almost a few hundred Britons, unparalleled.

Vaguely, Hawkins felt as if he was thinking things simple, and it didn't seem like it would be so easy.

The only thing to be thankful for is that whether it is the East or the West, gold can be exchanged for food, frankly speaking, the food in the East is a bit expensive, but once you consider the color, flavor, and cost-effectiveness, it is simply outrageously cheap. Every dish is a work of art, even France, which is the best at making food, is a scum compared to the Ming Dynasty, and as for England, it is a scum......

Hawkins enjoyed the food and was a voracious reader, and soon he came across a book, "Brothers in the Seas," to be exact.

This book probably talks about a group of demons who have been released and become human beings, who have different identities and face all kinds of difficulties...... They all ended up in a cottage, where they drank big bowls, ate meat, and robbed houses, so they were not happy.

Hawkins was dumbfounded, this is also so good-looking, it was simply written for him.

He is a pirate, he is also robbing everywhere, and he also has a group of fierce pirates under him, he is rampant, killing all over the world, just like the heroes in the book, happy and vengeful, brave, righteous, and resourceful......

Especially when he saw that all the heroes were ranked, Hawkins went crazy!

What a solution!

Why didn't he think of it!

If he had thought of this earlier, he would have amassed ten times as many pirates...... At that time, he would not have to worry about the consequences of sleeping with the Habsburg princess.

On the contrary, the "lower body" fort will take the initiative to marry him and grant him a higher status...... No, why did he crave recognition from the Habsburgs?

How is it written in the book?

Those heroes and heroes, who despised imperial power and cursed the emperor, were simply unscrupulous. What they yearn for is not the recognition of nobles, but to be their own masters.

are also thieves, is their realm too low?

Hawkins really wanted to continue reading, and in the second half of the book, he wanted to know the endings of those heroes, and maybe he could find more inspiration from them, and even he felt that as long as he read this book well, he could become a pirate like never before-king!

What a great work!

The books of the Orient are truly amazing.

He asked again and again, and the Siyi Pavilion only said that there was an ending, but the translation was here, and the rest of them had not yet been put on the agenda...... This can make Hawkins anxious.

Why don't you just learn Chinese and see for yourself!

What a great idea!

However, within a few days, he was defeated by the square word.

If you don't pay for it, let people tell yourself, the question is who can tell it well?

Just when Hawkins was in a hurry, Zhang Juzheng came.

"I'm going to go to Zhejiang in a few days, I want to come over and see, do you still have any difficulties?"

Zhang Juzheng has a lovely smile and is as warm as jade.

Indeed, after going through the matter of Yang Ming Gong, he has undergone a transformation, although a person can be very arrogant, but there is no need to put arrogance on his face, Yang Ming Gong can still think about him so much, even if he treats a Xiyi, he must be polite.

It's not pedantry, it's cultivation!

It's just that to Zhang Juzheng's surprise, Hawkins asked a question, but his question was a bit strange.

"Let me help you with the book?"

Zhang Juzheng pinched "Water Margin" and was quite surprised, "You, you like it very much?" ”

"That's right!"

Hawkins began to dance, wah, wow, drooling...... For the first time, Zhang Juzheng discovered that a person's expression can be so rich.

There is no doubt that this guy has completely substituted himself into it......

"The rest of the book is that the heroes of Liangshan accepted the imperial court's recruitment and became a tool of the imperial court, fought in the south and the north, and in the end almost all of them died!"

"Impossible!"

Hawkins was stunned, "How come?" They are so powerful, who can beat them? ”

"It was another group of robbers, the court bought them, drove the tiger and devoured the wolf, so that the two groups were finally consumed." Zhang Juzheng said lightly, but Hawkins didn't believe it, he shook his head desperately.

How so? How could such a powerful group of people, a group of people who could be his idols, die so humiliatingly?

It took Zhang an hour for Hawkins to accept the result, but he was still indignant.

"Don't you think this ending is very good? Since you are a thief, don't expect to recruit peace, don't expect to cooperate with those officials, otherwise the end will be very miserable! ”

Hawkins was stunned, it seems that he is ready to cooperate with the British royal family! Could it be that he will also be used and then abandoned......

Hawkins shook his head hard, but it also penetrated into his heart and could no longer shake it off.

"I'd like to ask...... Could it be that a thief is destined to be a thief and will not end well? Is this God's arrangement? ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled, "We don't believe in any God?" But we believe that the prince will be in harmony with each other! In fact, we have quite a few civilians, even bandits, who overthrew dynasties and created their own dynasties. ”

Hawkins was stunned for a long time, and said stupidly: "Yes, is it an ordinary person who has become an emperor?" ”

"That's right, we have an emperor of the lowest origin, who is just a slave."

"Slave! Oh my God! Hawkins exclaimed, "How did he do it?" ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, "Actually, it's not just slaves, the emperors in our history have small officials, low-level soldiers, and ordinary farmers...... And the emperor who founded our Ming Dynasty, he was even more miserable in his early years, he let go of cattle and became a monk. ”

"My God!" Hawkins feels that he has been shocked today several times more than before combined!

"Then, how can you be an emperor with such a humble status? God won't say yes! ”

"Hahaha!" Zhang Juzheng laughed, "We don't believe in any God, although we also say the Mandate of Heaven, but we talk about the Mandate of Heaven, and it is a kind of human heart." ”

"People's hearts?"

"Yes, it's when too many people think the country is too bad, it's going to be overthrown...... We have a saying that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat! ”

Hawkins thought hard, and I have to say that these new views have simply refreshed his three views, and it turns out that he can still do this!

There is no doubt that he has opened a whole new door.

"Sir, I, can I be emperor too?" Hawkins asked suddenly.

Zhang Juzheng immediately raised his eyebrows, what? You barbarian, your ambition is not small!

Hawkins quickly realized his recklessness and hurriedly said, "I, I mean, I want to go back to Europe and overthrow our king, and the emperor...... Do you think I can do it? ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled, "You have to ask yourself about this." First of all, you have to be confident enough to pull up a team of soldiers; Secondly, you have to think clearly, is the West really bad? Is there a chance to raise troops...... Also, you have to have a program concept that can attract more people to your team. ”

Hawkins kept nodding, he almost felt that the Oriental people were immortals.

Any book will open his eyes, and if you find any person, you can tell him how to rebel...... Hawkins swallowed and foamed, "Sir, I, I want to ask you for help, after the matter is done, you, you sit in the second position, I can give you everything!" ”
