Chapter 677: Final Request
The exercise organized by Ye Xun and Cao Wenzhao was the most conventional means used to deter opponents by drawing on military exercises used by later generations.
Now it seems that the effect is very good.
For more than six years, under the auspices of Ye Xun, although the armies of the whole country have not been able to update their weapons, the weapons of the front-line army have definitely reached the first-rate level in the world today.
Therefore, when William saw the exercise, he immediately decided to write to the governor when he went back and told the governor that he must not start a war with the Ming army, and that he was far from being the opponent of the Ming army in terms of the quality of his soldiers and weapons.
However, although he wanted not to start a war with the Ming army, William's task was not completed, the governor meant to divide the Indian peninsula, and the Ming Dynasty had not yet given an answer to this, so he could only continue to go to the Ming capital according to the original plan.
William and his entourage came by boat, so Ye Xun also changed the land route and took the treasure ship No. 2, and went straight to Tianjin Port from Bohai Bay to land.
The battleship set sail, and Ye Xun specially invited William to the treasure ship.
At present, there are only six treasure ships in the Ming fleet, two in the northern fleet, and the other four in the southern fleet.
There is no war in the coastal sea, and the cost of a treasure ship to go to sea is huge, so after building six, Ye Xun ordered a temporary suspension of production and the construction of more medium-sized warships of the 2,000 material level.
Walking on the deck of a small castle-like treasure ship, Brigadier General William had become cautious, and the arrogance of his arrival in Korea was honestly put away after watching the military exercises.
Ye Xun ordered someone to prepare a seafood feast, the dish was a good dish, and the wine was a little wrong, because the wine bottle was still his favorite, burning knives.
Seeing William coming, Ye Xun beckoned: "Friends from the UK, come and taste the wine that our Ming men drink, I just don't know if you are used to drinking."
William respectfully bowed to Ye Xun before sitting opposite Ye Xun at Ye Xun's signal.
William is also famous among the British aristocracy for a good amount of wine, and now that business is so convenient, it is not unheard of the fine wine from the East, but he never thought that the wine that Ye Xun said that the Ming man drank was actually not a precious wine, but a strong liquor invented by the northerners to keep out the cold.
took the wine glass handed over by the guard, and before he could drink it, he felt a spicy breath rushing to his face, and couldn't help frowning, wanting to say no to drink, but when he looked up, he saw Ye Xun looking at him with a mocking look, so he gritted his teeth, raised his head and drank a large cup of burning knives.
"Ahem..."
After a glass of wine, William felt as if his whole stomach was burning, and then he coughed violently.
"Haha..."
Seeing William's embarrassing statue, Ye Xun couldn't help but smile when William's breath calmed down a little, and then smiled: "My father likes to drink and drink happily, you friend, this bus is scheduled, come here, change wine for General William."
William already felt a little spinning at the moment, and only then did he understand what Ye Xun meant when he said that he could get used to drinking.
wiped away the tears that had been spicy with a silk scarf, shook his head and said, "Is this wine?" My God, how could Da Ming have such strong wine? ”
He took the wine brought by the guard and took a few sips before calming his churning stomach.
Ye Xun looked at him with a smile, and waited for William to completely calm down before he said, "General William, if this duke does not agree to your governor's proposal, what do you think the consequences will be?" ”
William was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Dear Lord Ye, this is a win-win result, the Indian Peninsula is not the land of the Ming Dynasty, our British Empire and your Ming Empire share the world equally, what's wrong?" Do you have to meet each other in arms? ”
"Smack!"
Ye Xun slapped the table suddenly, which immediately startled William, and said in his heart, didn't this Ye Gonggong burn knives and drank too much? Why are you still surprised.
"General William doesn't know about my father, what I yearn for most is those famous generals who win the battle, my father has not fought for several years, I have long heard that the British Empire is known as the empire on which the sun never sets, I think it will be very interesting to go to war with your country, I want to see it, you don't have to go to the capital, go back and tell James, get ready, we have a big war in the Indian Peninsula, in order to fulfill the dream of this father"
After Ye Xun finished speaking, he looked at William with blazing eyes, and his eyes were clearly saying, Hurry up and agree! I can't wait...
William was frightened, there were not many British troops deployed in the Indian Peninsula at this time, and the weapons were not advanced, if there was really a war with the Ming army, it would definitely be a disaster.
Almost without thinking about it, he said: "Lord Ye can't!" ”
took a deep breath before continuing: "Lord Ye, forgive me, this time the contemptible people came in too much hurry, there are some inconsiderate places, please don't be surprised, there will be a generous gift when you turn around."
"The war is dangerous, once the war starts, the dead and wounded are the people of your two countries, and our two countries do not have a deep hatred, there is really no need to go to war, the contemptible people only represent the Governor, I hope that our two countries will be friendly for generations and will always be fraternal states"
After the rise of the British East India Company, Brigadier General William had never spoken to anyone in such a low manner, which shows how big the psychological shadow of that military exercise was on him.
Ye Xun knew that William had misunderstood that he was blackmailing him, so blackmail him, anyway, the wealth of these guys was also plundered from other places, and he regarded it as robbing the rich and helping the poor.
He waved his hand at the guards, only to see the two guards unveil a huge map.
The sea breeze was too strong, no one was spotting, and the map had already been blown away.
This is a map of the world that Ye Xun rearranged by virtue of his memory and combined with the maps drawn by the people of this era.
William was well-informed, but he had never seen such a complete map of the world.
With his mouth wide open, he looked at the map in disbelief, and stammered: "Ye, Lord Ye, this, this is the world map?" ”
Ye Xun smiled slightly, pointed to the location of Britain and said, "This is that, General William should be no stranger, right?" See how it compares to me? ”
Ye Xun's words are the same as scolding, England and Scotland together at this time are not half of Liaodong, so what is the comparison?
William's face immediately turned red, but he couldn't find any words to refute it.
Ye Xun's hand then pointed to the Indian Peninsula again, drew a half circle around the Indian Peninsula, and then said: "These places are handed over to Marshal Bashik, and Shah Jahan must be judged, this is the bottom line of this father."
As soon as he saw the place painted by Ye Xun, William's brows furrowed, because almost all of the places painted by Ye Xun were important coastal ports, and now most of these places are under the control of the East India Company.
He shook his head and said: "Respected Lord Ye, the contemptible people came to negotiate with you with a sincere heart, if you have this attitude, I'm afraid we have nothing to talk about."
Shi Ke can not be killed, facing Ye Xun, who is like a scoundrel, the arrogance in William's bones has finally been stimulated...
