Chapter 30: Suddenly Enlightened
Ye Kai swallowed his saliva, he wanted to refuse, but he suddenly found that Peter and his thoughts coincided perfectly.
Peter needed an Oriental like Ye Kai who could inherit his position when he returned to Europe or after his death to ensure the interests of Catholicism and France in Vietnam!
And in the same way, Ye Kai also needs a strong force to support him behind him, otherwise he will always be in a weak position in front of Ruan Fuying, and if he mixes well, he is a favored minister, and if he doesn't mix well, he may not even have a guarantee for his life!
And this force can't come from the Ye family of Nanyang Hall, because even if Ruan Fuying is down-and-out now, he just treats the Ye family as a big guy, let alone after the restoration of the Ruan Dynasty.
As for the Chinese in Nanyang, when Ye Kai shook the nine heavens, they would naturally come to hold Ye Kai, but if he was in trouble, how could he expect others to ruin his family and business for him!
So at present, the only thing that can be relied on is the French forces led by Peter, Ye Kai can rely on each other with them in the early stage, and then develop his own strength step by step.
More than 100 years after that, but in an era of extreme change, Ye Kai clearly knew that Nguyen Phuc Anh, who succeeded in recovering the country, would make several wrong moves, and the French would eventually go into battle shirtless and spend a great price to directly control the entire Vietnam.
But with him?
For the first time, Ye Kai felt that he was very likely to take advantage of the contradictions between Nguyen Phuc Anh and the French after his restoration.
And if you have Vietnam in your hands, plus Pattani and Manraka where the Ye family is located, plus Lan Fangguo, who is also from Jiaying Prefecture Luo Fangbo, and even those large and small Chinese forces on Java Island, not to mention the north, if you can build a little China in Nanyang, it will not be in vain!
Thinking of this, Ye Kai felt that the thoughts in his head were opened up at once, and even Peter's cold beef-colored face softened, this old liar disgusted him, but now he can't do without this old liar!
Ye Kai now felt like a hungry person, he finally found something to eat, but it was a lump of SHI forcibly fed by others!
To eat or not to eat?
If you don't eat it, you will die!
If you eat it, it's disgusting and hard to swallow!
"Zinedin! My baby! Don't hesitate any longer, it's the best choice for you, for me, and for us, the Lord has arranged for us to be united! ”
Peter woke up from his frenzy, he saw Ye Kai's face begin to soften and hesitate, he thought that his words had finally worked, so he quickly persuaded again!
"But! Mr. Pinox, why are you forcing me, can't we have an open and honest talk?
Do you have to do it in a way that I hate so much? Aren't you afraid that I will pretend to agree and regret it as soon as you are gone? ”
Ye Kai's words were half-true, because if Peter's methods were softer, he would probably agree, because he thought so himself!
"If you have experienced the deception I have experienced, you will know that any promise, any contract, is unreliable, and I only believe what I can foresee!
And I don't have time to discuss anything else with you, because I'm about to protect His Royal Highness Fujing, the prince of France, and go to France to meet His Majesty Louis XVI, and I must choose between you and General Le Van Yue as soon as possible!" Peter hesitated a little and shook his head!
"Are you really not afraid that I will go against my own and go back on my word?" Ye Kai still didn't understand, how could this old liar be so sure that he wouldn't be backwater, could he recite some Matthew Gospel or something, and he would be a devout Catholic?
"You will! But it won't! Peter glanced at Ye Kai deeply, "From the first time I saw you, I knew that you had a different soul from other Orientals!"
Language is the carrier of culture, and a person who does not agree with the culture behind the language to some extent will not be able to learn the language well!
If you are so proficient in French, it means that you actually recognize the value of the French language.
You are an Oriental, but you have a Western-style soul and code of conduct, you will hate me because of what is happening now, but you will not regard the civilization I represent behind me as an evil flood beast, everything I do is not for my personal glory and wealth, but to spread the glory of the Lord! ”
As he spoke, Peter's eyes became fanatical again, and he looked at Ye Kai strangely, "My child, Zinedin, you and I are actually the same person, I see unwillingness and longing in your eyes!"
From the moment you cut off your braids without hesitation, I understood that you were bitter about your Tatar identity, that you considered yourself a remnant of the Ming, that you were always trying to restore the kingdom of Seris, which once represented civilization and progress.
Just as I am obsessed with spreading the voice of the Lord to the East, you will definitely be obsessed with rebuilding the Kingdom of Seris from the hands of the Tatars, and these are indispensable from Europe, from France, I am spreading European religion, you are spreading European science and civilization, you and I will eventually end up in the same way! ”
Listening to Peter's words, Ye Kai suddenly felt numb all over his body, sure enough, none of these people who left their names in history were easy to get along with!
Although Peter couldn't imagine that Ye Kai had crossed over, he could see very clearly that the soul in Ye Kai's heart was actually closer to the Western style.
Because the civilized norms of later generations, such as freedom, equality, and the legal system, respect for science, respect for the laws of nature, and the materialist philosophy that Ye Kai believed in, were all carried forward in the hands of Westerners.
When he crossed, although the Chinese gradually became stronger, they were far from the point of challenging the norms of Western civilization, and they didn't even have much right to speak, so his soul was Western-style and completely defensible!
"Good! Mr. Pinox, I promise you that as long as you are alive, I will not justify or be hostile to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ when asked if I have come to believe in Jesus Christ!
I will certainly protect the interests of France in the Far East! ”
"Good! As long as the will of the Lord can walk freely and without hatred on this land, and as long as the interests of the French Empire and His Majesty Louis XVI will not be harmed, the French Empire will be your backing forever! ”
Peter and he straightened his waist and made a solemn promise to Ye Kai.
Although Ye Kai is still very weak now, so weak that there is not even a reliable person around him, Peter believes that Ye Kai is definitely a worthy investment, and even more valuable than Ruan Fuying, he has a hunch that a new era is coming!
