Chapter 351: Exploring the Truth Together
Under the lampstand, Coelho was writing letters, on which spices and porcelain from a wide range of sources were placed, and they moved to the upper floor of a church, with an ivory bed behind him and a glass lampshade in front of him, the smell of spices was enchanting, except for pepper and opium.
The letter reads: "Your Majesty, we are in a difficult situation......
"It seems to have gone back to the time when we first searched for India, when we called the Far East also India, and it took us hundreds of years to enter and understand the country until we gained a foothold."
"When we first came to Dongying, we learned that most of the culture there came from the big countries in the Far East, so we looked for this rich country, and we could benefit from both sides of the route back and forth."
"However, in the present situation, the Netherlands and England are catching up with us, and although we do not want to admit it, the Armada is gone. And in the Far East, the Governor of this country, he is as cunning as a fox, and he is lustful as an animal, and thinks he is as easy to handle as a rabbit, and yet sometimes he is like a hedgehog......"
Written in Spanish, Coelho's heart was heavy, ethereal as the fog of crossing the Indian Ocean, but the truth was as heavy as he had said it, and before he could finish writing, gunshots could be heard downstairs.
Converging with Father Christopher, they led the officers to look down, only to see the empty passage of the buildings on the left and right, surrounded by a group of people with white turbans, white clothes, white trousers, and white belts.
They either held bird guns, or armed with bows and arrows, besieged the church, first took bird guns and released them for a while, the gate guard closed the iron door, Christopher changed color: "It is said that this is a folk church in Dashun, and the government has no ability to completely eradicate them, this is a cult ......"
"Oh...... I'm devastated! Coelho thundered, especially when a piece of glass in front of him was shattered by a bird's gun.
Bird gun, bird gun, the tube is shaped like a bird's beak, can hit the bird in the sky, it is called bird gun, is a kind of arquebus.
Compared to the equipment of Portugal, the White Lotus Sect's bird gun needs time to ignite and launch, which can be said to be very backward.
However, there are many of them, once the birds in the front row shoot, it is too late to shoot the next shot, and the archers can immediately follow, Coelho, who has been through a water battle, really can't stand it, especially the mysterious rituals of the White Lotus Sect, which can attack people psychologically.
"Our Lady is coming! Haste as a law! ”
"Where the Virgin comes, all the people are obedient, the Western demons, the shallow fish are trapped. Under the white lotus, steel does not enter, and the Virgin protects herself to help the needy! ”
The people of the White Lotus Sect, with their slogans in unison, passed by the road illuminated by the lanterns, and from time to time collected some protection money from passing households.
The leading saint was dressed in black clothes and black veil, in front of the church gate, surrounded by the congregation, under the looming black veil, her beautiful face was faintly visible, but her voice was cold: "Western demon!" Death! ”
"Bang!"
Leng Xingyu slashed the steel knife and actually spat flames, and the sect members became more and more happy, and they believed in the Holy Mother of the White Lotus.
"What do you want?" Christopher's Chinese is mixed with Western accents.
He Jingniang's beautiful eyes on the black gauze blinked, and suddenly remembered the style of that shameless man, and coughed lightly: "God has the virtue of a good life, and we have the responsibility to defend the territory of Guangzhou, so please pay some protection money, otherwise, you will be killed and the net will be broken!" ”
"After paying the money, can you go?" Christopher was skeptical.
"Hmm...... It depends on whether I'm in a good mood or not. He Jingniang said sadly.
Christopher and Coelho stumbled in unison and almost fell from the upper floor, Coelho jumped like thunder and became furious: "If you don't hand it over, you won't leave, if you don't hand it over, what do you want?" ”
Well, foreign devils really know how to count business, He Jingniang rolled her eyes and thought.
There was a clash between the two sides, each with casualties, the alleys and streets were devoid of pedestrians, and they closed their doors one after another, and after a while, another group of Dutch soldiers came with their guns up, and Coelho was both overjoyed and worried, and he couldn't breathe.
……
"Whoosh!"
A bow and arrow were shot at the target, and the target and the shaft of the arrow vibrated at the same time, and the vibration was like a man and a woman doing a loving exercise at night, Jia Cong put down the bow and crossbow of the divine arm bow and moved his wrist.
This is a military camp outside the city of Guangzhou, close to the river wharf, Jia Cong next to the god arm bow, the enemy bow, the range can reach about 300 steps, now his personal bravery, roughly equivalent to a qualified soldier.
Ever since he encountered danger again and again, Jia Cong often practiced archery riding and archery, in order to protect himself and live a long life.
"Teacher, the student has retranslated and made notes on Western astronomy and physics." Zhou Wenbai came out to report and sighed with complexity: "I have to say that the teacher is far-sighted, strategic, and Western doctrine is indeed unique. ”
Now, Zhou Wenbai, Zheng Renfen, Wei Ruolan, etc. have all worshiped Jia Cong as a teacher, which is an undesirable thing, Jia Cong, as a Wenzong and a university scholar, has become a high position in fame and fortune, and it is more than enough to be their teacher, which also deepens Jia Cong's connection and relationship with them.
However, Jia Cong slandered ...... If Jia Tanchun marries Qian Xiangguo not far away, but marries one of them, then ...... Isn't it a mess of generations?
He thought that if any talent was idle, it would be good to go back and be a teacher, like Zhao Beidou, of course, he didn't want to teach Baguwen, but wanted to create his own school, spread the world, learn from things, and become holy, it's also a beautiful thing to think about......
"The teacher said that learning to learn things can create a labor-saving steam engine, change the life of the world, and bring prosperity to the world, at first listening, it is like a water moon mirror flower, but the manpower is really infinite, so many days, someone has created a Lu Mi gun that can fire twenty bullets in a row......"
Wei Ruolan is full of interest, these rich second generations have a look of longing, and they are used to simplifying things, just thinking that Jia Cong will be all right, Jia Cong is like a myth, although this teacher of theirs, although he is often criticized before doing a big thing, but the later facts all prove that Jia Cong's decision-making is highly correct.
Jia Cong only comforted and encouraged, and did not reveal his inner worries, in fact, the official strict control of maritime trade and nationalization is bound to infringe on the interests of certain officials and big businessmen, and the resistance is not small, and I don't know how those officials will impeach him? Competing with the people?
But he is not afraid, he has become the general trend, full of wings, he can give it a go!
After that, Jia Cong talked with them about the knowledge of things, inspected the barracks, pacified the officers and soldiers, and went back to his own camp to read the letters. Zhou Wenbai, Zheng Renfen, and Wei Ruolan whispered about the topic of men: "I think that foreign girl is good, and she has a unique flavor......"
"Earl Zheng's aesthetics are problematic, what is good about foreign women, I heard that their body hair is very thick...... It's just a barbarian, maybe it's Earl Zheng's perennial military fight, even if he sees a sow, he feels that his eyebrows are clear......"
"Shhhhh
Jia Cong felt that his body was very energetic, and he read several letters in a row, including Wang Yingyuan's in the court, the emperor's, Wei Dingguo's, Hong Jing's, as well as Jia pardon, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Baochai Xiuyan and other people, which can be described as family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, everything is complete, he sometimes stretches his eyebrows, and sometimes frowns tightly.
was sighing faintly, He Jingniang, who was dressed in black and gauze, stood in front of his desk unconsciously, Jia Cong changed color in shock: "Someone, there is an assassin ......"
"Shut up." He Jingniang rolled her eyes, sat next to Jia Cong with a smile, put the saber on the rosewood desk, and said with a smile: "By the way, I heard what the foreign devil said: shut up!" ”
"Done?"
"Well, Van Dijk is also here, and he has suffered a series of blows, and it is easy to drive Portugal out, but you have to strive to maximize your interests, without foreigners to do resale trade, to obtain a trade surplus, where do you get the money to earn and military salaries."
"But, I also feel that cooperating with the Dutch is to seek skin with the tiger, the displacement of the Dutch warships is much more powerful than the two Portuguese ones, and if you go overseas, the country of Qian Xiang and the country of the Japanese are the must-visit trade places, and it is to grab food with the Netherlands, God knows if there will be a fight."
"If you want to say that Jackie Chan is powerful, it is no less than an adult, and he forcibly guarded King Qin in Tongguan and did not enter, hey, with these high-yield copper, iron, sulfur and saltpeter places in Shanxi and Shaanxi, I am afraid that I can't make firearms. However, now there are many people in the world who want to eat the big life alive, cramp and peel the skin, and break the bones and ashes. ”
He Jingniang picked up a few letters casually and looked at them, and learned a lot of news, seeing that Jia Cong didn't say a word, He Jingniang looked behind the screen, her eyes seemed to be see-through, and her face was full of awe-inspiring murderous aura: "My lord, that foreign woman, don't you suspect that she is a spy?" Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, this thing must not be sloppy, fortunately I am an adult, and I have removed this eyeliner. ”
"Slow." Jia Cong is embarrassed, Devonie's sexiness is secondary, the key to her ability and insight is obviously more useful than sexy, of course, from Jia Cong's subconscious, Devonie's sexiness also accounts for a certain proportion......
"There is a shortage of manpower at the head of the office, and Devine's education has helped me a lot." Jia Cong said lightly, damn it, this woman is too murderous, I haven't even enjoyed it, why kill it?
The more He Jingniang listened, the more angry she became, and the plain hand holding the hilt of the sword was exposed.
I don't know if Daphne heard it, but the foreign woman came in silently, put down a few bills, and was very skilled in double-entry bookkeeping, and could see that her face was unusually pale.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Jing Niang, you see, Devine has a lot of role, you are both literate and martial, and you are a combination of beads, that is the supreme truth and the royal way, I don't like anything else, I like the truth." ”
Devine blinked her eyelashes and complimented, "Your Excellency is so ambitious that you regard the truth as your life's dream." ”
"Hmm." Jia Cong was triumphant and touched the corner of Daphne's skirt: "That's because the truth is all red fruit, like Devonie, if it is not fully exposed, it is not fully exposed, that is the partial truth, and I also like the partial truth!" ”
Only then did Devany understand what "truth" was, and she was surprised that the lofty "philosophy" in the European mind was so filthy to Jia Cong...... Her face became more and more unsightly, and she turned and fled......
In order to prepare for the ocean, there are many foreign language classes in the West, including Chinese, and Daphne obviously has a lot of things to survive here, which can be used by Jia Cong, but she can't accept it for a while......
Even He Jingniang secretly chirped: "Shameless! ”
However, there was no disgust in the words.
Jia Cong was afraid that this woman would go crazy, a woman with force was obviously more difficult to control than Wang Xifeng, Jia Cong pressed the White Lotus Holy Maiden on the Taishi chair: "My reputation, famous at home, you have contributed to the dynasty, I have never done anything like rabbits and dogs, and I will turn a blind eye to you in the future." Don't be manic, girl, I'll teach you how to explore the truth......"
"Let go ......" He Jingniang was ashamed and indignant, but Jia Cong's determination and courage on the road of exploring the truth were really fearless and courageous.
Bang! While! Boom!
After a while, the Taishi chair fell directly, the two of them rolled to the ground, panting, and the saber also fell to the ground, but the black skirt set off her two legs that clamped Jia Cong's back waist, becoming more and more straight and white, full of fitness, and it could also bring out the delicate blush on her face.
That endurance is naturally much stronger than that of the boudoir woman, so that a woman who was murderous just now became like this in an instant, Jia Cong was still very proud, very proud, and her body and spirit were greatly satisfied.
