Is Zhang Bin afraid of being a scoundrel?

Of course he is not afraid, if you want to talk about playing scoundrels, who is as professional as a eunuch, Wei Zhongxian is the ancestor of playing scoundrels, a ruffian hooligan who can't read a word can reach the "high position" of 9,000 years old by playing a scoundrel, and this ability to play a scoundrel is absolutely unprecedented.

There are also Wen Tiren, Zhang Zhifa, Xue Guoguan and other eunuch remnants, so you might as well let it go more, and they all relied on hooligans and scoundrels to reach the high position of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Zhang Bin can even clean up these peerless masters who play scoundrels, can he be afraid of a little Duke Cromwell, who is not famous in history?

In fact, dealing with scoundrels is very simple, you are unreasonable, I am even more unreasonable than you, if you dare to play scoundrels, I am a slap in the face!

Of course, to do this, you need to have the strength to support, but also need to be courageous, in fact, some people also know how to deal with scoundrels, but they are so bold that they don't want to lose face.

Zhang Bin doesn't have this burden, he doesn't have any requirements for the enemy, he is not afraid of those who come to write, those who come to martial arts, play hooligans, and play scoundrels.

The Ming army made such a big move, the British troops in Lisbon naturally received the news a long time ago, after the British squad guarding the port ran back, all the British soldiers were frightened, buying cakes, hundreds of warships, it makes people's scalps tingle to think about!

However, their commander, the Duke of Cromwell Jr., didn't react much, because the Duke of Cromwell Jr. has been a little crazy these days, he is forcing João IV to sign a contract, and he is forcing Princess Joanna to marry him, João IV has not resisted at all, can he not be mad.

He is really happy these days, even cooler than when he was in the UK, because when he was in the UK, his father would take care of him, and he didn't dare to do anything excessive, it's different here, here, no one cares about him, he is in charge!

It can be said that he can do whatever he wants.

Of course, he hasn't been crazy to the point of lawlessness in the past few days, because his task has not been completed, and João IV has not yet agreed to sign a contract with him, he still has some scruples.

Therefore, these days, he personally thinks that he himself is still relatively civilized.

This morning, he was sleeping with a palace maid with a good appearance, when the guards outside suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Little Duke, Your Royal Highness the Little Duke, it's not good, the port is surrounded by many warships." ”

He opened his eyes in a daze, got up from the frightened maid, and said impatiently as he dressed, "What's the matter, what's the name?" ”

The guards outside repeated: "Your Royal Highness the Little Duke, it's not good, the port is surrounded by many warships. ”

At this time, he finally heard what the guards were shouting, the port was surrounded by many warships, he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't care about any appearance at this time, he directly picked up his clothes and ran to the door, and said angrily: "What battleship, is it the battleship of the Spaniards?" ”

He believed that in the whole of Europe, the only warships that could surpass them were Spain and the Netherlands, and that the Netherlands and Britain were in the same camp, and it should be unlikely that they would blatantly send warships to attack them, and only Spain could go to war with them.

Unexpectedly, the guard said with a frightened face: "No, we haven't seen the flags hanging on those battleships at all, I don't know where they came from!" ”

Not a Spanish battleship?

At this time, he was not very worried, because he had the impression that Spain was the sworn enemy of them in this world, and other countries did not have such a bad relationship with them, at least at this time.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "How many warships are there surrounding the port?" ”

The guard replied honestly, "I heard that there are hundreds. ”

Hundreds?

He was still not frightened, because he subconsciously thought that people were also a small number of super battleships and all kinds of armed merchant ships, such hundreds of them, to say that they also have them in the UK.

What the hell are these people here for?

He thought for a moment and asked, "Did they open fire?" ”

Without hesitation, the guard shook his head and said, "No fire was fired, and at first it seemed that a faint sound of cannon could be heard in the distance, but they did not fire after reaching the outskirts of the port. ”

There was no fire, and they broke in from the mouth of the sea again, which should have been a helper hired by Portugal.

At this time, he was more relieved, since it was a helper invited by Portugal, it would be easy to do, he directly put a batch of coats, waved his hand in a chic manner, and said, "Follow me." ”

He just went straight to Joao IV's study with a team of guards, and there was no panic on his face, since it was a helper invited by Portugal, just threaten their king directly, the Portuguese king is in his hands, what is he afraid of.

At this time, the Portuguese royal palace was under his control, and there were guards arranged by him along the way, so he went all the way unhindered, and soon came to the outside of João IV's study.

He straightened his dress at the door, then walked in with a smile on his face, and saluted João IV, who was sitting there in a daze, and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that you have invited reinforcements, I think that the affairs of our two countries do not need to be interfered with by others, and I also ask you to order your minister to leave Lisbon with your reinforcements, and do not hinder the signing of the contract between our two countries." ”

When Joao IV heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Reinforcements?

At this time, he didn't know where the reinforcements came from, of course, he also guessed that it might be reinforcements from the Ming Empire, because Britain was a European power, and no country had agreed to send troops to help him.

However, the European continent and the Far East are tens of thousands of miles apart, and communication is extremely inconvenient, and it has been almost a year since he sent his handwritten letter to Schwila, and he has no idea what is going on in the Far East, and it is impossible for Zhang Bin to send someone to drive a boat to run tens of thousands of miles alone to report to him, so he does not know where the reinforcements are coming from.

He was stunned for a moment, and then asked quietly: "Cromwell, which country's reinforcements are you talking about?" ”

Little Cromwell smiled and said: "This is for His Majesty, how do I know where you have brought in reinforcements, in short, please give an order immediately to let them leave Lisbon, I don't want any unpleasantness between us." ”

He is clearly threatening, you are a king in my hands, you still dare to be dishonest, believe it or not, I will take you hostage!

When João IV heard this, he frowned, and did not speak for a long time, because he did not know how to say it.

At this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted anxiously: "Your Royal Highness the Little Duke, it's not good, the enemy is surrounding." ”

Afraid of a fart, little Cromwell turned around angrily and shouted: "What's the panic, how many people are coming?" ”

The British commander outside said in a frightened tone: "His Royal Highness the Little Duke, his subordinates are not very clear, the surroundings are densely packed with people, at least tens of thousands!" ”

Cromwell Jr. was really taken aback at this time, tens of thousands? He's only a thousand!

He thought about it with a panicked face, and then said to João IV in a gloomy voice: "Your Majesty, you'd better go and persuade them to get out of here, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." ”

Schwila's guess was not wrong at all, the British don't make any sense at this time, they are in a hurry, they will definitely take Joao IV as a hostage!
