Shen Xi ordered, and the translator was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a "poof", kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Spare your life, my lord!" ”

He didn't defend himself, he begged for mercy when he came up, but in fact, he admitted the crime of sowing discord in disguise, Shen Xi's heart was on fire, and he shouted: "Fight!" ”

"Slow!"

Lian Hong got up to stop him, "Lord Shen, you beat people for no reason, I'm afraid it's hard to convince people." What is the entanglement between the pen & the fun &www.biquge.info amp; the pavilion and the people of the foreign domain, but what does it have to do with this little translation? ”

Shen Xi sneered: "What kind of sin is it to take advantage of the trust of the official to falsely transmit the translation when the two countries were negotiating, and falsely claimed that the official was going to kill the envoy of the Franc Machine, which caused an uproar among the Franc Machines and almost caused a dispute and war between the two countries?" ”

"Huh?!"

Shen Xi didn't say anything, and when Shen Xi finished speaking, the people present were in an uproar.

A little translator is about to turn the sky upside down!

If what Shen Xi said is true, it is not too much to drag this translation out and cut it off.

At the negotiating table of diplomatic relations between the two countries, they dare to provoke such a war, and if they are ruined by this, how many heads does this little translator have?

The people of the three divisions present, as well as the people of the prefect's yamen and the Guangzhou City Bo Division, all realized that there must be someone behind the translation to guide and support them, and they didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that Shen Xi would suspect him.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord......"

The man was dragged to the courtyard and pressed to the ground, and the soldier picked up his baton and greeted the interpreter's ass fiercely, and the people of the city were all frightened, and they all stood up and stepped aside, and even Hong's face became ugly.

"Keep talking!"

Shen Xi turned his head sideways and resumed negotiations with the Francophile.

Because Shen Xi directly communicated with the Franc machine man in English, and there was no need to translate it into Chinese in the middle, the officials present were all staring at each other, and they couldn't understand what Shen Xi said at all, but the Franc machine man was filled with indignation after hearing Shen Xi's words, as if he wanted to have a good deal with Shen Xi.

"Three ships, no less, and the land occupied in Luzon must be handed over to us. If you agree, you will sail the ship to the port of Guangzhou, and then you will return the people, and Shangchuan Island can still be used as a transit point in the future, but it must be stationed by our Ming army! Shen Xi's attitude was very resolute.

Exchange one Tang Yin for so many of you people and goods? Really, I'm here to trade at a loss? Three galleons of Galen that can cross the oceans, plus Luzon, will I return the people and goods to you, and in batches.

As for the three Galen galleons, they are nominally borrowed, but this is Liu Bei's loan from Jingzhou, you have to wait to return them, either send someone to rob them yourself, or when the ship is broken, I will pack the ship board and nails for you to transport back, and weigh it yourself.

After Shen Xi finished speaking, Almeida was very angry, originally the two sides were doing business well, and the Ming side was also harmonious before, but suddenly the two countries were at odds, at this time he weighed in his heart, whether it was the three boats and the Luzon Island, which actually only occupied a corner, was important, or brought back people and goods, so that it would continue to trade with the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"Lord Shen, what did you say to the Francophile?" Lian Hong has a ghost in his heart, but in order to go back and tell Zhang Yuanying truthfully, he still has to ask clearly.

Shen Xi said: "Does this have anything to do with Lian's participation in politics?" ”

Originally, it didn't matter, but you had to invite the people from the Third Division and the prefect's yamen, since you didn't want to say it, what did you ask us to do? Give you a façade?

"Ah...... Ah......h

The screams of the beaten interpreters outside were still heard, each one harsh.

Finally, after the fifty sticks were beaten, the person was dragged in, and Jing Yue, who was personally in charge of the execution, saluted and said: "My lord, the execution is over, please show me!" ”

Franco looked at the translator who was beaten to the flesh, and was taken aback, thinking that the punishment of Da Ming was special, and he actually took off the person's pants and beat it, this ass is still meaty, if it encounters skin and bones, isn't it even a humerus discount?

"Don't look at it, drag it down and find a doctor for him to treat his injuries." Shen Xi waved his hand.

"Whoa!"

As soon as Jing Yue raised his hand, the two soldiers dragged the half-dead interpreter out of the door.

Shen Xi explained to Almeida in English, this is the Ming translator's sincere attempt to sow discord between the two countries and make them relax.

Shen Xi's words were relaxed.

But Almeida's heart was heavy...... How do I know if those words came from you? The two countries are at war without slashing us, they come up and scold us and threaten to kill us, and now the lion is even more open to ask for islands and ships, since the island is so important, why don't you occupy it yourself?

We came across continents and oceans to find a place to be a safe haven off the coast of Daming, but you said that it was your land that went directly to fish and enforce the law, where is the justice?

Shen Xi asked again: "How is Mr. Almeida thinking about it?" ”

Almeida didn't want to be coerced by Shen Xi, so she stood up and left a sentence, and the entourage behind her conveyed the words to Shen Xi to know, and Almeida decided to go back to the boat first, discussed it with the people under him, and voted to decide whether to approve or not.

Shen Xi waved his hand: "It seems that the Franc machine people are not going to stay in the city for the night, send someone to send them out of the city!" ”

Lian Hong said: "Lord Shen, let the Franc machine leave so easily?" ”

"What does it mean to participate in politics?" Shen Xi asked rhetorically.

"Should ......"

Lian Hong was about to speak, when he suddenly realized that Shen Xi was talking a cliché, and immediately kept silent.

Shen Xi said: "My dynasty and the country of Francophone are friendly and diplomatic relations, don't you want this official to detain the envoys of the country of Franco, and trap me for being unkind and unjust?" ”

These words made Lian Hong sound familiar, and it was clearly the rhetoric used by the political envoy Si Yamen to impeach Shen Xi before.

Almeida had been escorted out of the gate of the official post by Jing Yue and others, and the people from the Guangdong Domain, the Zhan Si and the Guangzhou Prefect's Yamen who were present were very embarrassed, saying that they were here to listen, but in fact, they were tossed by Shen Xi, and in the end they didn't know what Shen Xi talked about with the Franc Jiren.

I don't know anything, how do I write it? How to fabricate charges against Shen Xi?

In the end, no one can say why the Francophile decided to go to war with the Ming Dynasty in anger, or go back to pack up their burdens and get out.

However, most people still guess from the anger of the Francophone that these barbarians of Fanbang will not give up, Shen Xi must have angered the Fanbang people, and the Francophile will invade the border of the Ming Dynasty when they turn around.

A cadre of people was "respectfully sent" by Shen Xi out of the governor's yamen, and before they got into the official sedan chair, they were still talking about it, but the highest official even Hong didn't say anything, and went directly into the sedan chair and left.

The Governor's Yamen was quiet again, and the negotiation table temporarily placed in the main hall was removed, and Ma Jiu came in to play: "My lord, what was arranged before ......

Shen Xi said: "It depends on the situation, if the Buddha is good, if you want to go...... Hmph, how can I be their back garden, just come and go? ”

Ma Jiu's face was resolute: "The little one knows what to do." ”

Ma Jiu left Guangzhou City in a hurry with what Shen Xi had explained before, his task was to monitor the movements of the Franc man, and was ready to take the ship to attack the ship of the Franc man, and take it together with the people and the boat.

This time, the Francophile learned wisely, and instead of approaching the port, he anchored near an unknown island on the Pearl River, advancing and retreating freely.

Although the artillery of the Franc machine man is powerful, but the biggest disadvantage is that the maneuverability of the big ship is not high, if it is a night when the light is dark, let Ma Jiu take dozens of small boats to attack, as long as you can get close to the big ship, climb up with a hook, it will be the same as the original battle in Quanzhou, the Franc machine man is weak in the face-to-face encounter, and the ship is easy to be taken.

The strategy is not clever, as long as it works, no matter how clumsy it is, it can be used as many times as it is.

……

……

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, and the negotiations with the Francois have been fruitless, war and peace are possible, and the people are all worried.

Shen Xi knew very well that the Franc machine people who came from afar were just paper tigers, but the people didn't know that Guangzhou had never had a large-scale war since it was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, and the people were used to living a peaceful life, and they were afraid of experiencing war, especially when they heard that the Franc machine country was 108,000 miles away, once the city was broken and taken away by the Franc machine people, they would have to be slaves to those long-haired ghosts in a foreign country for the rest of their lives.

On the 28th day of the lunar month, three days after the departure of the Francophiles, the big ship finally sailed to the port of Guangzhou, and the people thought that the foreign enemy had invaded, and the entire port area, whether it was merchants or ordinary people, ran empty.

The officers and men of the Ming Dynasty were ready to fight, and the imitation of the Franc machine guns was mounted on the coast, ready to return fire at any time.

When the small boats were lowered, Almeida personally led the men ashore and presented his credentials again, but it was a memorandum of understanding, on the one hand, to hand over Luzon and the scattered islands it had previously occupied, and on the other hand, to "lend" three galleons to the Ming Dynasty, as well as the twenty-four Franc cannons mounted on board.

Shen Xi did not go out of the city, but waited for Almeida and the others to arrive at the head of the city.

Almeida went to the city, and when the national letter arrived in Shen Xi's hand, Shen Xi picked up a brush and wrote in the blank space of the national letter: "Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and goodness is great".

Almeida looked at it and frowned, what is this written?

Two copies of the letter of state, one handed over to the Ming court, and the other was brought back to their king by Almeida, which was actually an "IOU", reminding Shen Xi to return the three big ships, and he could not be untrustworthy and did not return the goods and hostages after taking the ships.

And behind Almeida, a gray-faced person, as if he had just come out of the cinders, was escorted over, staring at Shen Xi with a look as if he owed him eight hundred taels of silver, it was the talented Tang Bohu.

In this negotiation, Tang Yin was a hostage exchanged by Shen Xi by name.

Perhaps suffering a lot on the boat, Tang Yin walked with a limp, Shen Xi waved his hand, and immediately went up to two soldiers to pick up Tang Yin from the hands of the Francophile, and then helped him down the city tower and back to the inn to rest.

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Mr. Almeida, it seems that you are full of sincerity, and this official will naturally fulfill his promise and return the seized people of your country, as well as the goods." The first batch will be returned at the moment, the second batch will be released after we send someone to take over Luzon, and the third batch will be returned along with the trade goods. ”

Because Shen Xi had not mentioned the issue of returning them in batches before, Almeida suddenly felt deceived, and seeing that Shatley and the others were tied with ropes and came to the city gatehouse, Almeida could only swallow his anger.

This time, Almeida brought only eight Galen armed galleons to the Ming Dynasty, and they did not dare to start a war before the full staff, but now there are only five ships left, and there is no need to fight.

Return it in batches, it's better than nothing, at least he has the right to trade with Daming, as long as he transports the goods back to O'Barro, he can make a fortune, anyway, with the few ships he currently has left, he can't transport them back at one time, so it's better to temporarily store them in Daming, but the detailed number must be listed, otherwise he will definitely be repaid by Shen Xi, a slippery guy.
