Chapter 15: Stupidity

Lost Lamb?

Chen Mu rubbed his beard, ignoring the angry glare of the soldier leader Da Vega's eyes that almost erupted from fire, and was silent for a long time. Bishop Carneiro stood stiffly on the side of the long table with his arms outstretched, Pereira's eyes and head swaying from side to side three times.

Scold.

He heard Long Junxiong, who was standing behind him, flick his thumb away, snorted disdainfully at the head of the soldier, raised his right hand to stop the general, Chen Mu frowned and asked Pereira and Canero: "I thought our relationship was close enough, but in fact, I know a little bit about your church." ”

Look, look, the shame of this arrogant Ming man has appeared again!

"If I let you convert your faith and throw yourself into the arms of my ancestors, you will probably think of drawing your sword and killing me, right?" Chen Mu pointed at Da Vega lightly, shook his finger and said: "Relax, I regard the Francois as a friend, and I will not treat you, and it is not rude to meditate, but I am just thinking about whether I will join if your church does not have this lord." ”

"In your faith, there was a great flood that washed away sins, and your ancestors prayed to God and Buddha, and the Lord Almighty gave you a great ship called Noah, loaded with pigs, cows, sheep, birds, and fresh water, and after seven days you survived and multiplied. Whenever you are lost, faith will guide you to find peace of mind. ”

Chen Mu said very seriously, and even stood up and took a deep breath, nodding his head without hiding his reverence, "Very good, this is a good faith." ”

"Do you want to hear my faith, it really happened in the land that you trampled under your feet, further north, where there is a great river, it is thousands of miles long and a thousand feet wide, and this story also begins with the flood that overwhelmed the world, and when it burst, it was said by word of mouth that it was a dragon rolling between heaven and earth."

"Zhao Li suffered, and my ancestors didn't worship anyone. They rowed Kyushu, dredged the rivers, and strangled the dragon's head to make the flood work for me! ”

"In our story, there is no need to worship God and Buddha, the sky leaks and makes up for itself, the mountains block the way, the sea is fierce and fills day and night, people pay for their lives to save others, if there is a chance"

Chen Mu said to Bishop Carneiro: "If you have the opportunity, you should really go to the north to see, in every village and every city in the great rivers and mountains, there are countless ancestral halls and archways, when you achieve things that ordinary people can't reach, even if you die for it, your descendants will continue to worship incense for many years, and your name and achievements will still be remembered by future generations after thousands of years." ”

"No one will forget you, just as you have not forgotten your ancestors."

In the silence, Da Weijia couldn't understand what the heretic looked excited about, and spit out a word softly, but Chen Mu understood, it was stupid.

"That's not stupidity, it's just stupidity."

In Pereira's horrified eyes, the extremely short-tempered Ming Dynasty general in his eyes was unusual, and he actually nodded in agreement and smiled, "You will know in a moment what stupidity is." ”

Chen Mu was interrupted, but he didn't get angry, he simply sat down calmly, spread his hands and said, "I have made it clear about the matter of faith." You have also made it clear about the trade in Malacca, that is, if Chen does not join your religion, our ships will not be able to dock in Malacca, and naturally there will be no way to obtain trade, right? ”

"I'm very sorry, General." Bishop Carneiro's face was still not good, but he still maintained the demeanor of a bishop, "This is also a deal, we need to sprinkle the light of the Lord on an unilluminated land, if you refuse to be baptized, we cannot promise to get ...... for you"

Chen Mu waved his hand, still smiling, and said: "I understand, what you are talking about is actually only one-sided trade, you obtained the power of Haojing trade through small means, and refused us to go to Malacca to trade, I thought it was a transaction based on fairness, a little disappointed, but it was also expected." ”

"It's a shame that I don't want to be aggressive."

Chen Mu shook his head and turned his gaze firm.

"Then my answer is that if the Ming people cannot trade in Malacca, I will go to the emperor and let you be treated the same in Ho Kyo, and for three months, I will confiscate all your shops and ships in Ho Kyo, and give you two good ships that can hold everyone, and decide whether to put people or corpses in the ships according to the attitude of your departure."

"Da Ming only cares about whether he can get the tariff draw, and he doesn't care whether it is the Francois or the Japanese who pay the tax, and I will send someone to Luzon tomorrow to invite the Francos there, they don't seem to be the same country as you, this is the best, I will invite them to come to the island to continue trade, and continue to look for ways to enter Malacca in the future."

"I know that your governor may want to solve these problems by means of war, which is exactly what I want, as long as you start a war, the door of the Ming Dynasty will never be open to you, and on the coast, there is only the Hao Jing on the entire long coastline of the Ming Dynasty that can dock you."

"Besides, how many troops do you have in Malacca and in India? Send those natives who are afraid of the Ming Dynasty, then how many soldiers do you need to defeat my eight hundred subordinates, one thousand six hundred? Or two thousand four hundred? And even more. ”

"I have at least 3,000 banner troops and sixty warships ready to go, and I am ready to invite more generals to Huangquan or defeat you, even if we cannot capture Malacca, believe me, from now on from Malacca to Nagasaki, neither the officers nor the pirates will allow any merchant ships flying your flag to pass, and Malacca will no longer be able to transport you the slightest cargo and Kruzado."

"Friends, only one ship can leave the port today, and if the priest finishes recording what happened today, you can go to the port and board the ship, and tell you what is happening here, and the governor of Malacca has allowed a few small ships from the Ming to arrive in Malacca for trade; Or at the cost of losing everything east of Malacca, waging a war with many casualties and not necessarily winning. ”

"If you want trade and not war, you need to ensure that the Ming people are taken care of in Malacca, how you take care of my people, how I take care of your people."

Chen Mu stood up, his hands stuck in the jade belt around his waist, and he moved the muscles and bones of his neck with satisfaction, and then he glanced at Da Vega, who didn't understand a word from beginning to end.

"You know, I think my people are stupid! In Tuen Mun, where the people were displaced by the infestation of the Japanese invaders, I led a fleet to kill the Japanese invaders, and someone built a shrine for me there, very small, only half a person high, and carved General Xiao Chen and his servants out of wood, the clumsy craftsman carved it not at all, but it was written, General Chen Gong Ancestral Hall. ”

"They offer fruit and incense every day, although very little, although I can't eat at all, but my foolish people believe that I am the protector of Tuen Mun, and when they are in danger, I will lead a fleet to kill all the enemies, either to save their lives or to avenge them, for which they are willing to offer their little food."

"You're different, you're so stupid without a protector, your god isn't spiritual."

Chen Mu said the last sentence in the Francophone language, opened the handcuff with the right thumb and put the flint dragon rod on the string, and pointed to Da Vega, who was looking at Pereira in horror and even a little helplessly, "Pray for him, Father, the Lord is with you!" ”

Bang!

A sword came out of the sheath and the birds were raised together, Chen Mu shook off the gunpowder smoke in his hand, and glanced at the corpse that could not be seen with disgust.

"It's stupid to interject when someone else is talking!" 2k reading web
