vs 27 The lonely fool

For several days, Huang Binqing had been accompanying Sir Huck and Vice Admiral Lemo to rehearse the embarkation and disembarkation of soldiers on his Zhoushan Island. And Huck also sent several shipboard technicians to Zheng Zhilong according to the deal to guide Zheng Zhilong in the process of shipbuilding.

Attacking the Ming vassal king Lu Jianguo with the Qing army was a matter that could be explained to him in his "lord" Zhu Yujian or in other aspects.

Now he only had one worry, the strange-looking ships of the Shenzhou Army had come to the side of Zhoushan Island and used their cannons to conduct shooting training at sea as soon as they looked like demonstrations. When Huang Binqing saw that the target ship was a common sail "sail car", it was smashed with only one salvo, and he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat on his back.

More than 30 projectiles of the long-legendary "Devil Cry Cannon" smashed the "sail boat" that used it as a target ship with a single salvo, not to mention the power of the cannon, just listening to the sound of it flying past can scare people into not sleeping well at night, and now seeing its power makes him even more shocked in his heart.

However, there are almost countless kinds of people in the world, but in the face of threats, there is a kind of person who judges the situation and needs to bow his head when he needs to bow his head, endure and do not speak, accumulate strength to find an opportunity, and cut the grass and root out with one blow. The other kind of person will immediately look submissive, but he will continue to make black moves, and it seems that these characters are extremely smart, but in fact, they will eventually provoke the people who threaten him to get rid of him as soon as possible. This is the difference between a hero and a hero who ultimately achieves the great cause of the emperor. is still the same sentence, there are too many smart people in the world, just play smart, and if you are careful, you will play yourself in.

And Huang Binqing is the latter kind of heroic figure in troubled times. As soon as he saw the arrival of the Shenzhou Army's prosperous escort fleet, he immediately put on a deferential appearance, and even invited Zheng Zhaoji to go to Zhoushan Island for a banquet.

Zheng Zhaoji did not have the slightest affection for this guy who often attacked his own people during the war (see "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" for what Huang Binqing did), so he refused his invitation under the pretext of carrying out his mission, and rushed back to Pingtan Island to participate in the preparations for the Taiwan operation after the exercise was completed in accordance with the order of the combat book.

In the face of this crisis, Huang Binqing did not panic. From Huang Mingjun, he clearly knew that Yue Xiaofei and Zhu Yujian had fallen out, and the goal of the Shenzhou Army must be Taiwan Island, otherwise they would have no place to stand.

Because he is not afraid, it will not be his turn for the time being. Now the people to be feared are the Dutch, who should have been taught a lesson, for he kept the news from his own mouth, that is, to Sir Huck and Vice Admiral Lemmour.

"Huang, what do you think of the deal I said?"

Huck sat on a "flying crossbow" and made his pipe, his two feet in leather boots resting on the shield in front of him, shivering comfortably in the warm winter sun.

Lemo stood next to the "Flying Divine Crossbow", reaching out to touch the anti-material made of composite materials. From time to time, he reached out and tapped, and he couldn't figure out how these wooden things could be used as shields. Stretching out his hand and shaking it, he could feel that this shield was not very hard, but a more flexible material, could such a material prevent the shot of lead shots?

Not only that, but he didn't believe it, if he hadn't seen the "Xiaofei God Crossbow" shoot with his own eyes, he wouldn't dare to miss it, such a thing can be fired continuously.

"Well, don't give us that land in the future, and we don't need that place, take this thing with your 'repeating muskets' and those 'fans' or whatever. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer, I want to believe me! ”

Listening to the conditions offered by Huque, Huang Binqing was quite moved, they don't want Qiongdao (Hainan Island), and they pay a pretty good price for everything, this is a good business.

"Uh...... This one...... Lord Sir, you should know that these are our military weapons, and I really want to sell them to you, but I am afraid that the emperor will blame you......"

Speaking of this, Huang Binqing deliberately stopped, his eyes watching Huck's reaction.

Huck rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be so yellow, I don't want much, just a little." Otherwise, with all the things I just said plus a chariot, I'll give you an extra hundred taels of gold, how about that? Think about it, Huang, you've got a lot, don't be dissatisfied! …… Well, I'll add a little more, my total price is that there is still gold on the island, and of course the price of the products I brought this time can also be negotiated, and that's all I can pay. ”

Huang Binqing saw the annoyance on Huck's face, and sighed deliberately: "Lord Sir, I'm really embarrassed about this matter, you must know that I have taken a great risk by doing this!" ”

After hearing the meaning of Huang Binqing's words, the look of chagrin on Huck's face instantly swept away, "Huang, don't worry, I will always be your good friend." ”

Vice Admiral Lemo shook his head slightly, he knew that Huck was actually happy in his heart. You must know that these few things are returned to the Netherlands, and once they are "patented" in civilized countries, then they no longer represent the value of an island or a hundred taels of gold.

In 1474, Venice enacted the world's first patent law. In 1624, England enacted the "Monopoly Act", which is known as the beginning of modern patent law. Western Europe was already in the early stages of industrialization, and if Huck had patented the industrial value it had represented, it would have been difficult to calculate.

Huang Binqing was slapping haha in his mouth, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, thinking: "This guy Huck, who is usually as good at dealing with as Ma Yu (monkey), how can he be stupid when he sees these things in Shenzhou City, and a few things are exchanged for an island." Hum! It seems that this side of Zhoushan is not a place where you can live for a long time, and although that island is a strong obstacle to life, it is much better than a knife and an axe to add a neck.

I hate Shenzhou City, I just don't sell ships to me, otherwise, maybe Huck will exchange their gunboats, then I won't have hundreds of cannons at once, this is a good business, but how to do it? ”

Before Huang Binqing could figure out how to get a kind of offshore passenger ship produced in Shenzhou City, Huque, who was sitting on the launch pad of the "Xiaofei Divine Crossbow", put away his unsightly qualifications and said, "I said Huang, can you tell us when your friend plans to need our help." I've been in the East for a long time, and I'm going to go back to Europe, where I have some business to do, so you'll have to urge your friends to hurry up, or I and Vice Admiral Lemo won't have to wait. ”
