0610 Reception Banquet
And the red-eyed dragon king is different! He has already occupied the advantage of the sea, but he is not drunk and dreaming like Liu Xiang. Instead, start training the Army! It's a performance with big ambitions!
Once Liu Pei occupies the island of Taiwan, he can strengthen the army. Then it will pose a challenge to all the forces in the South China Sea! This is unacceptable to Song Ke.
Song Ke was a fairly wise man, and he had suffered at the hands of the Ming Empire. He knew he was alone here in Asia. Unless the Dutch sent more than half of their fleet to Asia, it was possible to achieve an overwhelming advantage over many countries. But in that case, the whole country of Europe will perish!
Song Ke knew that he couldn't wait for local support, so Song Ke decided to do everything in his power to kill the Red Eye Dragon King. The minimum goal is also to regress the strength of the Red-Eyed Dragon King, and not form an overwhelming force against the pirates. In this way, all the pirates can continue to be caught in the fight, and Song Ke can easily control the South China Sea with the posture of an arbiter.
Song Ke is also quite decisive. After all, no one who can be a commander is given for nothing. After making up his mind, he stopped thinking about it, but completely put it aside, and began to think of himself as a pure businessman, and carefully purchased the goods he needed.
With the help of Liu Dahai, Song Ke got to know many businessmen and did get a batch of good goods. And it's a pretty tempting price. This made Song Ke more greedy in ecstasy, and more eager to take Penghu into his own hands.
That night, Liu Dahai set up a banquet to invite Song Ke and his party. Although Penghu has just started its business, the ingredients are not abundant. There is also a lack of really good cooks. But the dishes made still made Song Ke and his party eat their jaws!
A variety of dishes are placed on the table. Although half of it is seafood, the same seafood is not the same thing in the hands of the Yiren and the hands of the Chinese!
Some people say that Chinese nature is to eat, but in fact, this is not the case at all. When will humans be able to study diet? Only in the long enough peace, in the material conditions of abundance, will they have time to study how to make it
The food was even tastier.
The eating attributes of the Chinese can fully prove that China has been ahead of all countries in the world for a long time in history, whether it is economic, cultural, or social stability! Eating this is just a small footnote to a long period of peace and prosperity.
Although Song Ke tried his best to maintain the image at the banquet, the real thing was so delicious that his efforts were completely in vain. And his men are even more miserable! Because his first mate is about to lick the plate!
Song Ke had just shared a roast duck with his men, and then they attacked a suckling pig roasted in an open oven! This roast suckling pig is a famous dish in Guangdong! It looks "the same color as amber, and it is real gold, and it disappears when you enter it." It's like snow. "I can't stop taking a bite!
Liu Dahai also kept recommending other dishes to him during the banquet. and sweet rice wine. And Song Ke is the surprise brought by every dish that he does not refuse, and strives to taste it!
But Song Ke was not carried away by the food and wine. He had been observing all the people in the room. He found that the people here in Penghu were clearly divided into two factions. There are relatively few people in the group, that is, a group of people led by Liu Dahai.
The other group was mainly the officers in the barracks. Song Ke deduced something from several unpleasant conversations between them and Liu Dahai. That is, the red-eyed dragon king values Penghu very much, so he specially sent the newly ascended Liu Dahai to take charge of all the affairs of Penghu.
But those officers who had fought with the Red-eyed Dragon King didn't buy Liu Dahai's account very much. They thought it was the foundation that they and the big boss fought for, but they were cheapened by Liu Dahai and other later generations! So there is a big contradiction between them.
Song Ke is happy to see this happen. Song Ke is also looking forward to the opportunity to divide the people of Penghu in the future. His goal is on Liu Dahai. Because Liu Dahai really doesn't look like a loyal person. When Song Ke gave him a valuable gift, he happily accepted it. The look of greed is beyond words!
Towards the end of the banquet, a young man with a tired face walked in and handed a letter to Liu Dahai. said: "Mr. Liu, this is the big boss
Urgent letter from the send! ”
Liu Dahai took the letter and put it on the table casually, and sent the young man away. The officer at the banquet saw that Liu Dahai didn't mean to read the letter, so he said loudly: "The surname Liu, the letter from the big boss, why don't you hurry up and read it?" ”
Liu Dahai said disapprerovingly: "I'm feasting now, and I'm not in a hurry." ”
The officer said with a tiger face: "Don't be verbose! The big boss sent someone to deliver the letter, it must be a matter of urgency. If you don't see it, show it to me!" ”
Liu Dahai wiped his mouth slowly, picked up the letter and said, "Don't forget, I'm the one who has the final say on this island!" ”
Although the officer's face turned blue with anger, there was nothing he could do. Liu Dahai opened the envelope lightly and took out the letter paper to browse. Then he whispered, "Expected." ”
The officer couldn't wait to get up and walk to Liu Dahai's side, and pulled the letter over. After a cursory look, he roared happily and shouted, "Great! There's a battle to be fought! ”
Song Ke, who had been quietly following this matter, heard the news that there was going to be a war, and his heart was tight! He was curious to know who the Red-Eyed Dragon King would target? But it was obvious that neither Liu Dahai nor the officer had any intention of letting him read the letter.
Liu Dahai pulled the letter back from the officer's hand and put it back in the envelope, putting it in his arms. said: "It's a matter of a few days before you leave, let's eat first!" ”
The officer snorted and returned to his seat, continuing to enjoy the food in front of him. Song Ke also temporarily stopped his curiosity and tasted another dish introduced by Liu Dahai.
When the banquet was over, Liu Dahai invited Song Ke to rest in the rest area. Liu Dahai told Song Ke that he had set aside a few rooms for him there. Song Ke was very happy to hear this arrangement! Because their room is not far from it, it is where Liu Dahai and they live.
After Liu Dahai sent Song Ke and his entourage to the room, Song Ke said to Liu Dahai: "Mr. Liu, I see that the security here is still very strict. I would like to ask if my servant is having fun outside now, and when he has had enough, there will be no problem in coming back to me, right? ”
