Chapter 362: Scarlet Tiger (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
The neat short hair with bangs hangs elegantly down the ears, the black placket is a red Suzhou embroidered long skirt, and there is a beautiful rose at the neckline.
The eyes are like flowing water, and the eyebrows are like distant mountains.
Her skin is delicate and snow-white, and it's hard to imagine that this is a woman who often goes to sea.
The facial contours are not as soft as those of traditional women, and there is a sharpness to look at.
Although there is a touch of coldness in her beautiful big eyes, she is like an arrogant Sister Yu. But Wang Xiao could see the helplessness and weakness in the depths of his eyes.
Wang Xiao, who had read the ancient book of faces in the library of the First Emperor, concluded that the woman in front of him, known as Xiang Scarlet Tiger, was definitely not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the legend.
To be honest, Li Huamei's height and face, as well as the career she is engaged in now. In this world where men are the sky, it is definitely an alternative who is excluded.
Even if she's very pretty, it's the same.
"Have you seen enough?"
For Wang Xiao's gaze, Li Huamei was not angry. When she got on the boat and went to sea, she had experienced too much of this kind of gaze.
Wang Xiao nodded slightly in apology, and then looked at the few people around him.
The Nordic little white face, the Fusang ronin, the French brain pump, and the English staff officer who knew by looking at his face was playing conspiracy and tricks, and the anti-bones grew directly on his face.
Wang Xiao looked at the Richard who almost engraved the words I am a villain on his face. A few glances back at the forest. Although this guy has a terrible character, he has a good brain.
Yang Xien, who was in good spirits, was loudly introducing the new artillery that Wang Xiao had made, patting his chest and saying that as long as the ship was equipped with this new artillery, then what would come to the island would be a piece of XX.
"Twenty thousand ducats, buy your artillery technology."
Li Huamei has a lot of trust in Yang Xien, who takes care of her like a father. Even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I completely trusted what he said.
20,000 gold coins is definitely a huge amount of money, enough to buy a large field in Jiangnan to collect rent, and live a free and easy squire life from then on.
"Those who do sea trade really make money."
Although Wang Xiao is very short of money, he came up with a new artillery that is ahead of this era, and it is definitely not to get some money to spend, "I don't want money." β
Li Huamei frowned slightly, "Then what do you want." β
"I want you..."
"Bold!"
"How dare you be rude to the Admiral!"
"Shameless!"
'Choking~~~' The Fusang ronin who didn't speak directly drew his knife.
Wang Xiao said what he hadn't finished saying before: "Help me get a private permission from the imperial court to trade at sea." β
It is now the eleventh year of Wanli, and Zhang Juzheng, the last pillar of the Ming Dynasty, died of illness last year.
Da Ming, who was able to catch his breath because of Zhang Juzheng's change of law, just raised his head and opened his eyes to look at the bright sky outside, and was dragged into the abyss again by Emperor Wanli and the big turbans.
The big turbans from all over the country frantically sucked blood on Daming's body, and the Li family also opened the joints from the side of the political envoy by sending gold, and obtained the qualification to conduct sea trade in private.
Without the acquiescence of the Yamen, the Li family would not have been able to organize such a large fleet. It is also impossible to purchase a large number of goods from all over the world and sell them at sea.
Wang Xiao also wanted to run the sea trade, and he didn't want to be denied entry into the port, so he couldn't buy supplies and sell goods. Then this acquiescence is necessary.
Even, being rounded up by sailors as pirates is quite normal.
"It can't be." Li Huamei shook her head directly.
It is impossible for the Li family to cultivate competitors for themselves, so wouldn't it become a second goods.
Wang Xiao shrugged indifferently, "Then there is no way, then my new artillery can be sold to anyone." β
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room changed color.
The power of the new artillery has been learned through the introduction of Yang Xien, a weapon that can change the balance of power at sea.
Hit far, hit accurately. Once the hostile forces get it, it will be a catastrophe.
The English staff officer waved his hand directly, "Catch him!" β
As a spy, Richard, who is known as the prodigal son, had the first thought of capturing Wang Xiao and then getting the information on the new artillery to send to his homeland.
With this new type of artillery, England became the hegemon of the seas just around the corner.
The first one to do it was the little white face from Ross, and Wang Xiao's eyes made him feel very uncomfortable before.
He has a superb swordsmanship, and as soon as he pulled out his sword here, a few sword flowers over there were already shaking in front of Wang Xiao's eyes.
Xiao Bai's swordsmanship is indeed excellent, and everyone around him nodded in admiration when he saw it.
Then, their heads nodded halfway and didn't move.
Wang Xiao held the little white-faced saber in one hand, pinched his neck with the other and lifted him up, "What's the matter, if the negotiation doesn't work out, you want to rob it, are you a chamber of commerce or a pirate?" β
'Drink! β
The Dongying Ronin held the knife in both hands, and quickly rushed forward to Wang Xiao's side with a loud cry in his mouth. Raise your hands high to split Huashan.
As soon as the sword on his side was raised, Wang Xiao's leg came over there.
A standard Bruce Lee side kick kicked Xiao Dongying out with one kick.
The two most capable of fighting were taken down in the blink of an eye, and the French Erha, who had only taken two steps forward, suddenly stopped and took out the fire gun from his waist.
"You can't be motivated right away, you're afraid of going off, right?"
When the French second cargo was still fiddling with the shooting preparations, Wang Xiao was already standing in front of him and instructed him, "You should charge the medicine first." β
As for Rose's little white face, he was already lying on the ground at this time. The face-down kind.
"Enough!"
Li Huamei screamed, stopped drinking, raised the Ming army's standard saber, and rushed forward to Yang Xien.
Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and took the lead bullet from the trembling hand of French Erha, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and then grabbed it with his fingers, in the shape of a snap of his fingers.
'Poof! β
The lead bullet was ejected by Wang Xiao at high speed, directly penetrating the pillar beside Li Huamei.
Looking at the piercing hole that showed a radioactive wound, the room resounded with the sound of spitting.
Wang Xiao looked at Li Huamei with a serious face, "Can you sit down and have a good chat now?" Like a cup of tea or something. β
The idle people left, leaving only Wang Xiao and Li Huamei sitting opposite each other in the room.
"Yes, the best Wuyi Mountain Imperial Tea Garden big red robe." Wang Xiao sipped tea with a teacup and expressed satisfaction with Admiral Li's hospitality.
Li Huamei looked surprised: "Aren't you the child of a peasant outside Guangzhou?" β
One can taste what kind of tea it is when you take a sip, which is not something that a farmer's child can do.
"It's not a big deal, I used to drink it a lot."
didn't explain anything, Wang Xiao put down the teacup and looked at the beauty in front of him seriously, "I thought about it, I decided to have a showdown." β
"What?" Li Huamei didn't understand what he said.
"Have you made a wish to the sky and asked the sky to help you collect the evidence of the Overlord of the Seven Seas to protect the Ming Dynasty?"
Wang Xiao had already had this plan, and directly revealed the wishing system to the wisher. He wondered what the reaction would be.
At present, the wishing system seems to have fallen to the bottom of the sea without the slightest reaction.
"How do you know?"
Li Huamei subconsciously covered her mouth and made the actions that a woman should have.
The increasing number of ships from the Seven Seas heading to the East Asian Ocean makes her feel stressed. And the corrupt and incompetent imperial court not only helped, but dragged its feet in various ways.
Face god-like opponents and pig-like teammates. Li Huamei once prayed to the heavens to help her in the dead of night.
She swore she had never revealed the thought to anyone.
In front of all outsiders, she Li Huamei is still the strong and brave Admiral Li.
Raising his hand to brush down his black ink-splashed hair, Admiral Li looked away, "I didn't say it." β
Wang Xiao smiled, he didn't intend to debunk the shyness of women.
"The heavens heard your wish, so they sent me to help you."
Admiral Li's gaze shifted over, and he looked at Wang Xiao as if he was looking at a fool.
This is not the era of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, the gods of the sky or something, and there are not so many people who believe in it. After all, the emperor who had already died so many times before and claimed to be the son of the sky was not.
Wang Xiao pinched the teacup and waited for a while, the wishing system may have fallen into the depths of the trench, and was being chewed and grinding teeth by the megalodon as a snack, without any warnings/threats/hints/dissuasion/obliteration.
"Sure enough."
Wang Xiao's temptation got the result, and the wishing system was really not those ruthless main gods, and they should not have seen such a thing as leaking secrets.
Wang Xiao, who was in a good mood, no longer tasted tea, and drank it all in one gulp, and the precious tea was also chewed and swallowed by him.
This kind of tea is very precious in small production and is reluctant to waste it.
"Believe it or not, just know that I'm here to help you."
Li Huamei was noncommittal: "Do you want to form a fleet chamber of commerce to go to sea in order to make money?" β
In the modern world, Wang Xiao, who is just eating dead wages, waved his hand heroically, "I am not short of money to spend, and the formation of the fleet is to help you find the proof of the hegemon." β
Admiral Li's expression became strange, not shy, but wanted to laugh but held back.
"Looking for proof of the hegemon? Don't you know that in addition to the evidence of the hegemon of East Asia, the evidence of the other hegemons of the six seas has long been revealed? β
Wang Xiao's hand shook, and the teacup was thrown away.
"The evidence of the hegemony of the North Sea, the Mediterranean, and the New World has been obtained by Sir Clifford. The evidence of hegemony in Africa, India, and Southeast Asia fell into the hands of Kuhn. β
Li Huamei calmly explained, "If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were busy fighting fiercely, trying to snatch the evidence of the hegemon in each other's hands, it is estimated that the huge fleet would have been killed long ago." β
"You wait a minute." Wang Xiao raised his hand to pause, "Let me take care of it." β
The so-called NPCs are all really flesh-and-blood smart people at this time, and they all have a huge force behind them.
Clifford is behind England, while Kuhn is behind the Netherlands.
The legend of the Evidence of the Seven Seas Overlord has been passed down for many years. Admirals who are strong enough and ambitious enough have no reason not to look for them.
They can't just stay where they are stupid like in the original world, waiting for the protagonist to harvest.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty who forbids the sea, it is natural that the European side of the all-round voyage can expand rapidly.
Li Huamei was worried about this, but the Ming court didn't know it at all.
Wang Xiao, who had calmed down, knocked on the table, "Can you tell me what is the use of gathering the evidence of the Seven Seas Overlord." Is it possible to summon a dragon? β
Admiral Li picked up the teacup, "I don't know what to do." It's just that they are so desperate to grab it, there must be a reason. I might be able to communicate with the gods. β
Wang Xiao looked at Li Huamei and suddenly asked her, "Is the half map of the evidence of the East Asian hegemon in your hand?" βchaptererror();
