313. There are three more chapters of the covenant

Letting the right people do the right things is a prerequisite for doing anything, but in reality, because of one reason or another, it is often impossible to make the best use of people's talents and materials, and it has to be stifled.

During the Triangle Siege, I met the legendary knight, poet, statesman, adventurer, communicator, and the current face of the Queen, Mr. Walter Raleigh.

He is tall and fair-skinned, and although he looks stubble all over his face due to the long-term loss of care, it still does not change his image of a traditional and beautiful man who is popular with ladies.

Seeing us coming, he swept away the decadence of the past and carefully packed up his clothes that had not been washed for a long time - of course, the mental outlook was very good, after all, from great sorrow to great joy, it did make people feel happy.

In the "conference hall" of the Triangle Siege, well, it seemed to me that it was at most a thatched hut with a less pungent smell, and it was clear that it was beyond my reach. So, our conversation moved to the ship I had brought with usβ€”and with this triangular siege, my ship must have been a paradise!

Of course, before that, I had already given people an idea of the situation of the entire Triangle Siege, and it was true that the situation here was terrible, as people had said before! The total number of combatants and various types of personnel was no more than 100, and more than 40 of them were wounded.

The remaining sixty or so people were not injured, not because they were highly armed, but because these guys directly chose to escape during the battle! These lucky aristocratic little white faces can live to this day, and they should really thank God for their favor.

They are afraid of battle, they are afraid of hardship, they are afraid of the environment, they are afraid of adventure, and Walter Raleigh has nothing to do about it but to watch these parasites work in his ranks.

So even though they had far more firepower than the Indians, they were still defeated in battle, and finally had to fall to the ground and be pressed to the ground!

And that's not all. In addition to the food crisis, the Spaniards had already been overwhelmed by several raids, and they simply had no ability to organize a large-scale counterattack. Diseases and unknown pests have also become important factors in their non-combat attrition.

In other words, if I hadn't arrived just in time, they would have become the dinner of their tribe by now!

If we want to change this situation, we can't do something about it, and relying on the existing institutional mechanisms will only make the situation in Virginia sink deeper and deeper. It seems that it is necessary to use thunderous means to show the heart of the Bodhisattva!

Twenty minutes later, in the captain's room, the first joint meeting began.

"Oh! Mr. Earl! Thank you, Holy and Wise Queen, for sending you to assist me in taking possession of this land that belongs to the Queen and to England! Praise God! Praise the Queen! Walter Raleigh said with a glass of wine and a smiling smile.

I smiled slightly and didn't make a sound, but Hua Mei next to me couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Walter Raleigh's eyes lit up suddenly, and he saluted Hua Mei in his usual method of flattery: "This beautiful lady of the East, your beauty illuminates all of Virginia!" So can I be honored to know your name? ”

Hua Mei pursed her lips and smiled disdainfully, noncommittal. Walter Raleigh looked embarrassed, but the experience of being immersed in the aristocratic circle for a long time made him practice a face that is not bad, and he continued to flirt with Hua Mei's nonchalant language.

"Let this be over! Qilan. Hua Mei looked at me and said lightly.

"Hmm." I smiled and nodded, this little white face was a few pounds and a few taels, I basically knew it in my heart, so I said indifferently: "Walter Raleigh, your show can be over!" Now shut your noisy mouth and listen to me quietly! ”

As soon as I said this, Raleigh was immediately dumbfounded, he looked at me blankly for a long time, and then said angrily: "I am the governor of Virginia appointed by the queen herself, how dare you slander and humiliate me?" ”

I glanced at him and said lightly, "The reason why you are still sitting here and talking about it is entirely because of my kindness!" Do you think that you are here to listen to your useless rhetoric, you wasted by a bunch of savages with spears? ”

As soon as I said this, Raleigh sat there with a flushed face, unable to say anything more.

"Remember, everything I say from now on, you must remember, or ......," I said with a smirk.

Several people, including Raleigh, were flushed with anger, but they didn't dare to speak angrily, so I pointed out three fingers to him, and the two guys who followed him on the boat, who were said to be the sons of a great nobleman.

"First, from today onwards, the full ration of food and water will be cancelled for these wastes you bring, and you will be paid according to your work." I withdrew my first finger and said to them, "You'd better remember every word I say, or one day you'll pay for it!" ”

"Why? Food is what we bring and we have ourselves! Why can't it be fully rationed? To Raleigh's left, Greennell, who is said to be the second son of the business minister's family, shouted. This guy has sharp-beaked monkey gills and unhealthy white skin, which is not a good way to look at.

I glanced at him and said very casually, "Save you from the garbage that you snatched from the mouths of the rats is also called food?" Hum! It seems that before announcing my orders, one discipline must first be declaredβ€”you have only two choices when I speak. One, silence; Two: The answer is yes! If I hear such boring nonsense again......"

Greennell stood up and said angrily: "I am the son of the Minister of Commerce, the second in line to the throne of the Heathfield family!" How dare you ......"

Before the words fell, the Nine Ghosts Masataka, who was standing not far from him, had already stepped forward quickly and punched him in the cheek! The poor creature flew out of the side of the thunderbolt, and fell into the corner of the cabin with a "grunt" sound.

I spread my hands and smiled, "So you see, I want you to hear every word of what I say, otherwise, you will definitely pay the price!" ”

Greennell lay on the ground and wailed, and I didn't look at him and said, "Let him disappear, don't make a noise here." ”

The Nine Ghosts gave me a hand and waved his hand at the door, and immediately two people came closer, slipped Greenel up, and dragged him out of the cabin, and after a while, in a wail, there was a sound of "plopping" falling into the water from under the side of the ship.

Raleigh and the rest of the guys turned pale, they didn't expect me to be so ruthless, like I didn't care what they thought.

So, I then stretched out my second finger and continued to say lightly: "Second, from today onwards, the whole of Virginia will be under military control. If there is another situation like the previous one, there will be no more than one word, you know, right? ”

Raleigh looked at me with a complicated look in his eyes. How he wished he could be like me, to despise these worldly magnates and to carry out his decrees without being disturbed by these extraneous factors! What I did was exactly what he had imagined countless times.

It's just that he still doesn't dare to do it to this day! But that didn't stop him from nodding solemnly at me, and he knew I could do what I said.

"Third, I want you to elect a part, well, a third! Explore the southwest with my people, and you don't have to know what to do, just listen to the command! ”

As soon as my third order came out, Raleigh was still in a daze, and the only young man next to him jumped up and shouted, "Why? You are a reinforcement, not a tyrant! We are not your efforts! Why do you ask us to do these things? ”

I looked at the young man expressionlessly, and said nothing. The guy pointed at me and continued to shout, "I just wanted to tell you that I'm a member of the royal family!" How dare you be disrespectful to me! The Queen will never spare you! ”

Oh? Royalty? I turned my head to look at Raleigh, who looked at me with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he wanted me to vent for him, but also feared and worried about something. After a long time, he whispered, "Elizabeth...... The Queen has indeed asked me to take care of this cousin of his. So Monsieur Earl ......"

Before he could finish speaking, I snapped my fingers, and immediately someone stepped forward, and the royal got the same ending as Greennell.

Raleigh looked at me, and finally nodded helplessly: "You have the final say!" But I hope that you, Mr. Earl, are ready to bear the wrath of the Queen when you return. ”

After speaking, he sighed.

I took a sip of my glass, smiled and said to Raleigh, "I would like to repay your kind reminder with two more pieces of advice in return for the order. ”

Raleigh immediately sat upright and made a deferential posture.

I looked at him and smiled, "First of all, I don't care who you are, and I don't care who you have, who they are, I don't care. As long as I'm not happy, none of your people will be able to go back to England for the rest of my life. ”

Raleigh immediately replied obediently: "I understand! I understand! ”

"As for the second piece of advice, my dear Mr. Raleigh, the Queen really cares about you, so I hope that you will do what you have to do and not give me reasons or excuses to give up on you, do you understand?" I said with a sneer.

Raleigh was sweating all of a sudden, and nodded respectfully yes. He understood that this was my last warning to him. In this borderland, the one with the big fist is the master! It's God! It's the master! Even if it is a queen, far water can't save the near fire, and the whip can't reach it.

Moreover, according to his observations, the few warships I brought were all blueprint ships that I had only seen in the literature back then, and the fact that he could hand over this new gadget to me shows that the queen is quite dependent on me, and will definitely not embarrass me for him, who is the first to be the first to sink in the sand of the new land.

This is the end of the so-called meeting. I just arranged my orders, and that was enough. I don't need advice or anyone to point my fingers, so the meetings are short and efficient.

Just as Raleigh was about to walk out of the hatch, I suddenly spoke again: "Those two guys just now are part of the southwest exploration team!" ”

Raleigh's back was cold, he knew that I had ordered the two of them to kill! But it was none of his business, and he immediately turned around and bowed and replied, "As you wish!" Lord Earl! ”

After saying that, he walked backwards out of the hatch.

"Captain, isn't this a bit rushed?" Looking at Raleigh's figure, Mavi's voice came from behind him: "After all, many of them are the children of nobles, so if you are ruthless, I am afraid that you will be adversely affected in the future!" ”

I shook my head with a wry smile, sighed and said, "I also had to do it as a last resort!" The news of our arrival will soon reach the ears of the Spaniards, who will not give us much time to clean up the discipline, so I can only cut through the mess quickly. ”

As I spoke, I glanced back at Mavi and said with a smile: "Moreover, none of the people who came with Raleigh are the heirs of the family, they are just the losers of the struggle, and the reason why they came here is to fight for opportunities and try to turn over; On the other hand, isn't there an intention to hide from something? ”

Mavi Moran, the loser in the inheritance struggle, what is the end......

Therefore, I am doing this to solve the troubles of those first in line to the heir of the family. It's not hard to guess how these people with real power will respond to my "good intentions"!

The cabin was quiet, and only the "whoosh" sound of the waves crashing on the reef not far away could be heard, wave after wave.
