Chapter 995: Seizure and Expulsion (2)
Suddenly, more than 200 brocade guards jumped off their horses and pounced on Eisenel and the other Britons like wolves. Tian Lai Xiao said. 2
“no! You can't do that! Seeing his Britons being grabbed one by one by the brocade guards who pounced on him, Eisenel shouted loudly.
However, although Aisenel knew some Chinese, the pronunciation was not standard or comprehensive, and Jin Yiwei could not understand what he was shouting at all, and no one was shouting anything, and their purpose was only one, to capture all the British people present.
Aisenel seemed to see that Chen Mingyu was the chief of the Jinyi Guard.
Recklessly, he rushed to Chen Mingyu.
Because Eisenel recklessly rushed towards Chen Mingyu, it was too much like he was preparing to resist violently, and he was almost slashed to death by several brocade guards on the side.
Fortunately, Chen Mingyu raised his hand in time to stop it, otherwise the steel knives in the hands of several Jinyi guards next to him would have hacked Aisenel to death.
"Eisenel Envoy!" Chen Mingyu smiled meaningfully at Aisenel, but he clearly knew Aisenel's 'identity', England's envoy to the Ming Dynasty, nominally looking after England's students studying in the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time maintaining contact with the Ming court.
However, Chen Mingyu has already found out very clearly, these are only in name, and Aisener's real purpose is the same as this time, through the method of 'theft', to obtain all kinds of advanced technology of Daming in advance.
"You can't do this, this locomotive was bought by me with money, it's a legitimate business, and I didn't break the law!" Aisenel shouted to Chen Mingyu in half-life Chinese.
Chen Mingyu sneered: "Legitimate business? Hum! What a legitimate deal! The Ming Dynasty has long had a law that locomotives are forbidden to buy and sell! Don't think that this official doesn't know, you got this locomotive by bribing Wang Daomin, the corrupt and perverted law! In this way, Xiang got the advanced steam motor technology of Daming, which is really wishful thinking! ”
Daming has allowed European countries to send students to Daming, and these students will naturally be able to learn some of the advanced technology of Daming in the future, and Daming will indeed no longer continue to block these advanced technologies to Europe, but it is impossible for European countries to obtain them in this way.
Eisenel was red-faced and thick-necked, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue to quibble.
It is because they know that the Ming Dynasty does not allow the locomotive to be sold to others at will, so they get it through bribery, which cannot be regarded as a legitimate transaction at all, they are at a loss, and it is useless to refute it.
Chen Mingyu no longer paid attention to whether Eisel continued to quibble.
With a wave of his hand, the two brocade guards also escorted Eisenel into custody. At this time, the other two dozen or so Britons who were with Eisenel were all taken into custody.
After capturing the British such as Aisener, Chen Mingyu immediately pressed Aisenel and other Britons to return to Nanjing City with Wang Daomin.
At the same time, through the radio of Yongyang City, he reported the situation here to Zhu Cijiao first.
-----------------------------------
About two hours later, Chen Mingyu returned to Nanjing and was immediately summoned to the palace.
And Aisenel and others were all pressed into prison.
In the palace, Zhu Cijiao's face was not good-looking.
"These Britons are really --------" Zhu Ci hesitated and didn't know what to say.
To tell the truth, he admired the motives of the British, it is worthy of the fact that the British have such foresight in the country that rushed to the peak in this century in history, and it is not enough to send students to study, and they even want to obtain the advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty earlier through such a secret way.
The purpose is good for the British, but for the Ming, it is despicable and shameless.
Daming has opened his heart and agreed to send students from European countries to Daming to learn Daming's advanced science and technology and concepts, which is already Daming's special kindness to Europe.
However, the European side turned out to be so dissatisfied, especially the British.
I don't know if I don't check this, but after checking it, not only steam locomotives, telegraph stations, firearms bureaus, but even science and technology institutes, cement factories, power plants, etc., there are traces of the British.
The British actually wanted to obtain all the advanced technologies that the Ming Dynasty had worked hard for more than 20 years to develop overnight through secret copying.
It's just that the British also take it for granted, not to mention that these advanced technologies are not something they can learn without a correct theory, just by looking at them, even the attitude of the Ming Dynasty does not allow them to do such a shameless approach.
For Daming, this is no different from theft.
"The deportation of all these British people after a month of detention is a warning to the countries of Europe!" After thinking about it, Zhu Ci made such a decision.
Killing it directly seems too barbaric, and this is also a loophole in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not good to take care of it, so that the British can succeed so easily.
In fact, as early as when the borders were opened, countries were allowed to travel to and from the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and countries were allowed to send students to learn advanced theories and science and technology from the Ming Dynasty, we should think about this issue, because it was almost inevitable.
Since European countries know that they have used to send students to learn the advanced theories and technologies of the Ming Dynasty, it is natural that sending students to obtain these advanced technologies is only a legitimate way, but if there is a faster and more secret way, there will definitely be people who will start in this regard.
"Obey the order!"
"Your Majesty! In addition to the British, the minister also found out that the French were also like the British, except that the French were one step slower than the British, and they had only just begun to contact the railway station of a county, and had not yet taken the locomotive away. Chen Mingyu continued to report.
The French were influenced by the British, and they had always coveted the advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty, and they also attacked everywhere.
Because they knew that the British had obtained one or two scrap locomotives through bribery and were dismantling them, the French wanted to get one or two locomotives to dismantle in the same way as the British.
Chen Mingyu had just received a report from his subordinates that the French had successfully bribed the management of the railway station, and they almost took the locomotive to another place to dismantle.
"Shameless! Arrest them all, like the British, and deport them after a month! In addition, warn other countries that if there is such a thing, Daming will not let it go so easily! Zhu Ci said sternly.
Let European students learn some of the advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty through the way of learning, which is already the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty, and the real most advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty cannot be obtained by European countries, and it is impossible for them to obtain it in such a way that it is not too late, and they have violated the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty.
For Daming, even if European countries are learning, they can only learn Daming's second-class technology at most, and after learning, returning to China for exhibition, it is not possible to do it immediately, but also they themselves are studying for a period of time, Daming wants to use this way, so that Daming's technology has always been ahead of European countries for decades, or even hundreds of years.
In addition to the punishment and expulsion of the British and French who violated the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ciji also issued an order to let all departments in charge of advanced technology take strict precautions through this lesson to prevent such a thing from happening again.
European countries want to learn from the advanced science and technology of the Ming Dynasty to show themselves, and they can only let the Ming Dynasty have selective teaching through the way of studying abroad, and it must not be a shameless way to operate in secret.
