Chapter 375: Eliminating "Thieves" for the Country
"The East India Company has to pay this big pirate protection money every year," Xiao Chuan touched his head and said helplessly, William shook his head and said, "Sure enough! Your Majesty, let's retreat, even if the Santa Trinidad is extremely strong, it can't withstand the encirclement and suppression of three thousand warships, especially these friends of mine don't seem to be very powerful! He looked outside and said, "That little fireboat is really troublesome!" ”
"Rest assured, we have rockets, lots of rockets! The British kind of rocket, each of their ships is equipped with that kind of rocket" Xiao Chuan said with a smile, William was relieved, and said: "British rockets, they had British rockets more than two hundred years ago?" He looked at Wang Zhe from a distance in disbelief.
"Well, you know, that thing was originally brought to India by the people here, and then to Europe," said Ogawa, and William breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, but their boats are still very troublesome, we should find some helpers, and it's a good idea to pay some pirates!" ”
"There is a helper" Xiao Chuan said, thinking of his Viking subordinates, he just smiled and smiled so that the two waves of forces gathered to deal with Zheng Zhilong was much easier, Xiao Chuan picked up the red wine on the table and looked at it, and asked curiously: "Will you brew this thing?" ”
"Red wine, haha, this is my housekeeping skill" William smiled, and said: "I still have the secret method of making red wine that my grandfather passed down to me" Xiao Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, another way to make money appeared, selling red wine, people like fresh things, although red wine does not taste very good, but he tastes novel.
"It's so strange" Mrs. Chu strangely picked up the red wine on the table, and William smiled and said, "Madam, that is called red wine, I think you may not have drunk it, this cork needs this thing to pull it out." ”
Mrs. Chu pinched it hard, the mouth of the bottle shattered, he pinched the cork and changed its shape, William swallowed deeply, did not speak, Mrs. Chu tasted it, immediately spit it out, frowned and said, "It's so unpleasant, so bitter?" ”
"Madam, red wine is not drunk like this, you drink fresh water this way" William walked over, looked at the red wine on the ground very distressed, and said: "This is my last bottle of red wine." ”
"I have a large area of land on the shore, on which you can make countless wines," said Ogawa, and William was delighted. Took William off the ship and came to the side of the Fu boat, William also followed, he followed Xiao Chuan, that unique appearance and that captain's clothes attracted the attention of a group of Ming sailors, he touched his own must be a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, why do I feel like a monkey." ”
Xiao Chuan smiled helplessly, Qi Mu walked over and glanced at this William and said: "This Xiyi looks really strange, wearing this clothes, I'm afraid that the military discipline is sloppy!" He thought that this person couldn't speak Chinese, so he said it directly, and used this very kind expression when he said it, which reminded Xiaochuan of a roommate he had seen who scolded people in dialect and was stupid, and when he said that you were stupid, his expression was very kind, which made him think that he was saying something good.
"You Tatar? I am the captain of the most powerful flagship of the Spanish Armada! Please don't call me Xiyi" William said angrily, except for his own command knife, all the sailors laughed, Qi Mu laughed even more, and said, "Spain? I have never heard of it, I always thought that there was only one country in the West! ”
'Franc machine? "William looked strange, not understanding what he was talking about, and said, "I am also a well-informed sailor, but I have really never heard of this Franc machine," he said.
"Haven't you heard of the Franc machine?" Qi Mu said strangely, Xiaochuan said, "It's the Ottoman Empire" William heard this voice, relying on the same pronunciation of the words, it was so that he was one year, but at this point, he understood, and said: "I said why this firearm is a little familiar!" He said, just continued to look to the side, and saw the launch shelf of the rocket, and the rocket on the side of Huayou said, "Isn't this a British rocket?" It's exactly the same! It turns out that the British rocket was transmitted from here! He actually said.
"What British rockets, Go! This is the rocket of the Ming Dynasty, which country is Britain a barbarian? Qi Mu immediately burst out laughing.
"It's William, not Go, remember the name of the great Spanish naval captain, this may be something you will be proud of in the future" William said solemnly, his tone extremely serious.
Everyone laughed, and Xiao Chuan also laughed helplessly, such a powerful flagship with the power of his own lucky ship and rockets, as well as Vikings, will inevitably make Zheng Zhilong's fleet suffer a loss at that time, and then he can learn from him in the north to collect protection money.
*************
The prince who was blowing in the north wind was upset, he had lost his original vigor and stood at the head of Nanjing City, glanced at Nanjing City behind him and shook his head, the life of the extremely rich drunken gold fan did not give him any comfort, and said: "Bengong, I never thought that the Donglin Party was so clever!" He looked back at the city of Nanjing, and could see the prosperity of the Confucius Temple from afar, and said, 'Isn't the hand of the palace out of Nanjing?' He came to Nanjing full of hope at the moment, and at the moment he was weak or unable to stretch out his hand to Nanjing, and what was waiting for him was only because he couldn't pay the military salary and went to disarmament!
"Your Highness, the checkpoints we have set up everywhere to collect money have been repeatedly attacked by the people!" The eunuch on the side shook his head and smiled bitterly: "People everywhere think that the strike is our reason!" People everywhere are turning against us! ”
"This group of families is so ruthless!" Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "The palace is unwilling, Nanjing is still so prosperous, what about Yangzhou?" What about the rest of Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Hongu is really unwilling to give up these places! Could it be that the crown prince can only retreat in this Nanjing city? ”
"But the merchants everywhere are really despicable and shameless, we can't raise the butcher's knife to the students of the Jiangnan Tribute Academy and the people everywhere, Your Highness!?" The eunuch on the side said helplessly,
"But what about Qin Xiaochuan? Didn't the merchants of Shandong resist him? The prince asked curiously, and the eunuch said, "I heard that it's a pirate!" The place was attacked by pirates, and the merchants from all over the country resisted him and were unfortunately killed by pirates! ”
Pirate? "I'm afraid it's the pirate's surname Qin!" The prince said coldly, and the eunuch said: "Your Highness, it's not like ah, then Qin Xiaochuan personally led people to kill, I heard that he was injured, and most of these pirates are Xiyi, Qin Xiaochuan is just a Ming man, how can he control so many Xiyi?" ”
"Hmph, you underestimate him" The prince said: "Find me the personnel information of the Jinyi Guard of the East Factory here!" Donglin Party? Since you're playing this trick, I'm going to have to use something else! ”
"By the way, Your Highness, today the mountain chief of the Jiangnan Gongyuan of the Donglin Party is coming to you to talk about withdrawing from various checkpoints!" The eunuch said, and the prince continued: "Let's just say that this palace is unwell today!" Attacked by bandits! He said.
"This?" The eunuch was surprised, and a person outside suddenly ran over and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Fujian, raised an army, and wanted to kill him on the grounds that the general army of Shandong was indiscriminately collecting business taxes and shaking the country's capital, and more than 2,000 search warships came from Fujian!" ”
The prince's face suddenly became strange, and he said, "Could it be a false Dao Sword?" He thought for a while and said, "No, it's not good for him to catch Prince Ben!" He wondered what he was beating Qin Xiaochuan for? One in Shandong and one in Fujian? He didn't believe that Zheng Zhilong, a pirate, would really go on an expedition to fight thieves for the country.
"How do we? General Qin heard that there is a port in Shandong! The eunuch said worriedly, and the prince said: "Jiangnan sailors are not allowed to move, our boat is not the opponent of the other party!" Look at how he fights with the king on the shore with a loach in the water! ”
After looking at the enrollment of traditional literature schools on the Internet, I came up with the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and what are the forty-two chapters of the scriptures, which is simply demonizing teaching, I still obediently look at my newly bought hundreds of schools.
