Domingo was a little anxious, glanced at the crowd, and did not answer, but said, "Sir, do you want to listen to me give you a sermon, the radiance of God"

Li Xiangqian shook his head and said, "Okay, it's not like I haven't been to Paris and Rome, you really know your destiny, but it's just luck." ”

In his heart, Li Xiangqian has long seen that the internal logic of European civilization is not perfect, but the wealth obtained from the world supports the massive investment in scientific research in the early stage, and the long waiting period before sowing seeds and bearing fruit has relied on the world's wealth income to achieve amazing achievements, but its core is actually very problematic, so in the middle of the 21st century, Li Xiangqian saw the successful construction of the glorious Republic of Europastan, and the whole process was thrilling.

Domingo was pleasantly surprised: "You've been to Europe, oh my God, how many years ago, it's such a long way away"

Lee shrugged forward, this time as an attaché to the cooperation agreement with the Republic of Europastan, and took the opportunity to go around there, which was different from what Domingo thought he had been.

"Speaking of which, how long have you been out of the house?"

Domingo was a little silent and said, "It's been ten years. ”

Li Xiangqian sighed, in order to relieve the pressure of the ruling class within it, the sacrifice of Europeans is indeed not small, countless young people are inspired by the dream of money to go overseas to make a fortune, and die for a lifetime, and such well-educated young people go to the world to preach, and become accomplices of the slaughterer without the slightest ignorance, but they do do everything promised to their gods.

Look at our own elite, such as Zheng Zhilong, this product almost believes, or on the surface, believes in all the religions it meets, in order to achieve the purpose of doing his business, Li Xiangqian is very suspicious, if there are aliens, this goods will also run to the past as soon as possible, holding his thighs and recognizing him as a god.

Of course, Li Xiangqian absolutely understands that Lao Zheng's true religion and true god is the evil and omnipotent god of money.

However, Li Xiangqian did grasp some of this Domingo's mental activities, and said, "Are you going to go home?" ”

Domingo smiled bitterly and said, "When I left Rome, I didn't think I would be able to go back, and the thirty companions who came with me are afraid that there are not many people who have survived to this day. ”

Of course Li Xiangqian knows.

In Europe, it is not a pleasure to get some religious lunatics out for some noble reasons, and by the way, to help the newly conquered places to reduce the resistance force, but in this era, the quality and moral character of these missionaries is indeed not bad, and even before leaving Rome, it can be regarded as painstaking to study some science, medicine, and even cannon building and other knowledge to open a breakthrough.

It's not easy for anyone, and even understands it very well, compared to my Daming's group of Donglin Party who can only enjoy it, Li Xiangqian has a kind of mind to get these missionaries under his hands, but this ideological problem is very difficult to deal with, anyway, he has no interest in buying these missionaries with money, or intimidating these missionaries by force, and the people who can be controlled with these two things have already died on the sea route of tens of thousands of miles.

Li Xiangqian said: "What do you think, is this kind of effort worth it?" ”

This Domingo is probably about the same as himself, in his thirties, that is, when he left home, he was just a young man, his blood was boiling, and the years of burning passion were still in the past, who knows what to think.

Domingo said slowly: "The effort is not recognized for a while, but it can become the cornerstone of another person's missionary success in the coming days, so I don't regret it, if, you can take a look"

Li waved his hand forward and said: "What should be said, I have almost the same as what Tang Ruowang said, Tang Ruowang, you know it, maybe his letter has just arrived in Macao, and you probably haven't heard of it, have a chance to read it." ”

Li Xiangqian really has no discrimination and hostility towards these missionaries, he is just watching a sad song of inevitable failure, the Holy See has a fatal death hole, he is too materialistic.

The same ideology, Confucianism and Buddhism never break all kinds of scientific rules, because they know that they can't break it, but the Holy See is charging ahead, constantly tearing people to the conclusion that the earth is the center of the universe and so on, as a result, astronomers continue to slap in the face, little by little lose their authority, and finally even in the 21st century, the Republic of Europa took over the territory.

That's the problem.

Domingo seemed very surprised and said, "You mean? ”

Li Xiangqian said: "How to preach in Asia is a matter for your Holy See, by the way, for so long, I will sell you a face, let the people in the treasury come out quickly, if they don't come out, they will die." ”

Li Xiangqian suddenly said this, which made Domingo's old face blush, and said, "You know? ”

Li Xiangqian touched his sunglasses and said: "Who can not know, of course, I still admire the nobles who can resist to this extent, however, the gap in our strength is too big, if it weren't for the gold bars inside not to be broken, I would have rushed in a long time ago, you go in and tell the people inside, if you don't come out, I will go in with laughter." ”

Although he didn't know what this laughing gas was, it seemed to be very powerful, and Domingo lowered his head and hurried into the vault.

It didn't sound right in the morning.

After confirming that it is only a matter of time to break the city, and it is impossible to resist it at all, he is not willing to fail, and what he thinks of is actually a very simple thing, these natives have always been greedy and chaotic, after breaking the city, the person who rushed to the treasury to make a fortune must be the core of the aborigines, and even the real commander of the other party may hide in the meantime, take the opportunity to fight back, and arrest the leader of the other party, it is not difficult to turn defeat into victory.

I have to say that in Li Xiangqian's personal opinion, this is almost the most perfect strategy, if he didn't come here wearing a thermal imager.

As long as the conqueror is a little unruly, greedy and wants to be the first to see the gold, and does not let people clear the field, then there is a chance.

But he hardly accepted the situation now, saying: "What the hell have you said to those barbarians for so long, how did they find us!" ”

In order to hide in this stuffy and hot vault, which has poor air circulation, and has not yet prepared food and water, how can he think that instead of rushing into the vault to rob with great momentum, these natives have a tea party at the door.

They were roasted suckling pig in the vault, and people ate a big meal outside, how could this torture not be painful.

Waiting for death is not terrible, death is not terrible, it seems that the men who have been fighting for many years, especially these people who have come out from Europe to rob, this is not a thing, and death at sea has long become a habit.

But the most terrible thing is to wait for death, and what is even more terrible than waiting for death is to wait for death for a long time, when Domingo enters the door, he tells that they have already discovered them, and they have sent troops to block the gate, and if they don't come out, they will release "laughing gas".

No one knows what laughing gas is, but Kai Yi looked at Domingo angrily, naturally thinking that he had betrayed everyone.

This is perfect, the enemy is not the worst, the white traitor is the worst, this kind of thinking is definitely the common idea of people all over the world.

Domingo also said: "Governor Yi, I didn't agree with your idea from the beginning, such a method will only lead to the life of a thousand compatriots as child's play, I still have the same opinion as before, since you have surrendered, everything will be offered, everything is for the purpose of protecting everyone or returning to Batavia!" ”

His lips were already chapped, and he looked at the hopeful eyes of the soldiers around him, and finally said, "Okay, surrender." ”

After the words were spoken, he could feel that the people around him seemed to be relieved.

He immediately said with a grim face, "However, they must promise to ensure the safety of our lives." ”

Domingo smiled bitterly and said, "It's promised." ”

The surrender of Kuyi was also very careful, first a few soldiers walked in, collected their weapons, and then escorted the soldiers inside out in batches, and only came out of the last one.

"Sit down."

Li didn't raise his head forward, and said slowly: "We Chinese have a saying, called borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, today I can be regarded as a step further, using your place and food to entertain guests, please take a seat." ”

This time, the people around basically retreated to deal with things, after all, the place was knocked down, but people can't all be killed, the corpses must be disposed of, and all kinds of money and property must be settled.

Li Xiangqian naturally didn't care about such a little money, but if he thought about it carefully, the property of the Governor's Palace could be taken, but the private property of the Dutch should not be touched, and it was still very important to protect the private property, and every Dutch prisoner could go to his own residence and leave with his belongings, of course, without weapons.

Now, only one is left unsolved.

As soon as he looked at Li Xiangqian's calm appearance, he felt unconvinced, yes, that's right, he was too unconvinced, he glanced at Domingo, who was translating Li Xiangqian's words, and said: "We won't break into the master's house and entertain the original owner with the master's things!" ”

Although Domingo gave him a reproachful look, he still rejected the original words and translated them at best.

Li Xiangqian smiled, he still looked at his expression, this is really unconvinced, but this is understandable.

"The reason why I have recruited you today is that you can leave by sea ship, but the East India Company is not allowed to massacre the Chinese under its rule at will in the future, you kill one Chinese, and we will kill two Dutch."

Yu Yi was unconvinced and said: "That is the internal affairs of our country, and the barbarians under the rule slaughter each other, can you manage it?" ”

At this time, Domingo didn't know how to translate, and this one obviously didn't understand the matter, and how to speak, which really made him embarrassed.

"Just be honest."

For this classical Dutch with an accent, no translation software is powerless.

Li Xiangqian listened to Domingo's translation with some kindness, nodded, and said: "The truth is only within the range of cannons, and our cannons are stronger than yours, so we have a reason, and in the same way, if you have cannons, you will bully other peoples, this is also a habit, isn't it." ”

After listening to this translation, he also calmed down and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"We are the Chinese government."

This sentence is righteous and righteous, but in the past time, it is impossible to tell it, and you can't say that you are China when a Hebei person asks you where you are from.

Only the moment when facing these wolf-like foreigners is the best moment to say these words.

Looking at it ignorantly, Li Xiangqian's requirements didn't seem to be strict, and all the people were basically released, unless it was illegal robbery income, and the goods of ordinary merchants could also be protected, for no other reason, the elders really couldn't afford to lose the people who had to take such a small amount of money.

However, in Yu Yi's opinion, this is simply aggression, and he is very dissatisfied, but he can only sit there under the eaves and watch Li Xiangqian's performance.

There are a lot of large and small businessmen in the city, the maritime merchants of this era, there are also some members, dozens of shareholders on a ship are not unusual, it is also the meaning of diversification, rather than owning a ship, the risk is on you, it is better to have 100 ships, 1% of the shares of each ship, which is more secure, and the goods on a ship, usually belong to different cargo owners.

Ownership is very chaotic, plus there are also cargo owners who are unlucky to die, and some goods are piled up in the open air, directly damaged by artillery bombardment, these broken things, Li Xiangqian is also one by one, in general, the circulation of trade routes is absolutely vital things, which is also a good reflection in the future of China's construction, before the completion of the construction of high-speed rail and highways, China's construction center must be Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the three generations of cities, as well as the surrounding huge urban belt, relying on the low cost of transportation of shipping.

The smooth flow of trade routes is not only material, but also cultural, you must at least not let people worry about your territory, otherwise, the money is not earned, and it can be said that you are looking for death.

For example, India, for example, North Korea, those are all broken places where businessmen go to die for nine lives.

For Li Xiangqian, this is actually not bad.

"Okay, your silk is not on fire, this is a superficial point, we didn't use armor-piercing bullets to be polite enough, hurry up and ship it back to you, and then load it back to Europe, that's ten times the profit, don't look for me here."

"Spices, ah, we want this thing, I'll take a look, you didn't go to the northern sea route, did you, and Shanghai didn't know? Okay, I know that it was monopolized by the Zheng family before, but in the future, the Zheng family is the army, and the army is not allowed to do business, let's solve these things. ”

Although he did not know how to do business, Li Xiangqian understood resource allocation and profit sharing, and Chinese porcelain and silk were almost treated like hard currency in this era, and the profits from shipping them back to Europe were absolutely huge.

He's played the Age of Discovery.
