The discussion of these Spaniards, in the evening, when it was getting dark, was basically all about worry.

"Why haven't they come back yet, can't they come back?"

"It's possible, at first glance, it's not a Ming person, and it is estimated that he was killed by a Ming countryman!"

"It shouldn't be possible to die, it's possible to be injured, maybe it's for treatment!"

"You say, will they fight back, and then they will be arrested by the government together!"

"John can't be, who is possible, stunned, he will fight back if he can't figure it out!"

“……”

While they were talking, suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and the sound of Spanish talking, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that John and they were back, because John's voice was so loud that he could hear it, and he was very excited.

Suddenly, the Spaniards, who were bored and chatting, all of them hugged at once.

I saw that at the gate of the courtyard guarded by the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, John and the others were carrying a lot of things in their hands, and they came in one by one with a smile on their faces. When they saw them hugging over, they all smiled and said hello.

"Today is a day to remember!"

"Yes, it's paradise out there, wow, it's so bustling!"

"It's just that the money isn't enough, and if there's money, it's perfect!"

“……”

The road was blocked at once, and most of them had entrusted John to go shopping, and these people who came out to mix basically rarely saved money, at this time, they were all in a bit of a hurry, and at the same time, they shouted loudly.

"John, what about the things I bought? I just want to be dressed in satin, it must be handsome! ”

"Mine is wine, have you bought wine? Miss me! ”

“……”

At the entrance of this courtyard, nearly two hundred Spaniards were blocked here, so full that a few Spaniards who went out behind could not enter.

When John saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry, go in and divide things, don't make the Ming soldiers unhappy!" ”

As soon as they heard this, all the Spaniards fell silent and hurriedly retreated inside. At this time, they are most afraid of making the Ming people unhappy!

However, their excitement did not decrease, and they did not go into the lobby, but surrounded John and the others in the courtyard.

John was also the first mate, and he had prestige among them, so he arranged for them to come one by one, and then he and his companions who went out began to divide things. While parting, I had to answer the curious left-behind personnel.

"What, isn't it fun out there? You tell me? Eyes can't get busy! ”

"You don't know, the food of the Ming Kingdom...... Tsk, in comparison, we used to eat, and I don't want to eat the stuff we used to eat again! ”

"Yes, yes, the food of Mingguo is various, only you can't think of it, what flavor you like, you can find it in the restaurant of Mingguo!"

"Wow, you don't know, on Mingguo Street, you can see anything, it's just what you want! Eat, drink, and ......"

“……”

In the midst of this discussion, a discordant voice suddenly came out: "Wow, if you can rob it, you will get rich!" ”

As soon as this voice came out, the courtyard was silent, and everyone turned their heads to look at the man. Then, the first reaction was that the people around that person all moved out, away from the person who spoke.

As soon as the person who spoke saw it, he immediately came back to his senses, knew what he had said, and hurriedly explained in a little panic: "I...... I didn't mean that, I just said it's smooth, I really didn't want to rob it, I ...... Do I dare to rob it? ”

John knew that he was used to robbing other places before he said this, and when he understood him, he said, "Be careful, this is the Ming Kingdom, can it be compared with those uncivilized places in other places?" If you don't want to die, keep your mouth shut! ”

After such a small episode, the excitement of these Spaniards decreased a lot, and the topic shifted.

"By the way, John, as soon as you go out, you will be recognized by the Ming people, have you been beaten?"

"Hehe, what do you say, if we are beaten, we can still buy you something back, I really don't know what you think in your head?"

"We don't look like them, and we're definitely recognized when we go out. But the most they did was to stare at us a few more times, but nothing else? ”

"Yes, we are not criminals again, now we are Ming people, you know, we are Ming people! Who will hit us? ”

"Actually, the people of the Ming Kingdom are quite civilized, their conversation and treatment of people and things are very polite, not like ours at all."

"Oh, the streets are clean, it's heavenly!"

"You don't know, there are people on the street who look different from the Ming people, it is said that they are Tatars, and they used to be mortal enemies of the Ming Kingdom. However, it was conquered by the Ming State a few years ago, and now the Tatars are already Ming people, and walking on the street is no different from the Ming people! ”

"Yes, yes, this time, we even met a Tatar king, wow, that's called a majestic, rich ......"

When he said this, a companion immediately corrected his words: "The translator said, that is no longer the king of Tatar, he is a native of the Ming Kingdom, and he has a credit to the Ming Kingdom, what is the title of being titled, I forgot it!" “

Hearing this, the other Spaniards immediately looked very interested and asked for details. Because of their own situation, how they live in the Ming Kingdom in the future should be similar to the Tatars, which is a place worth learning from.

The Mongols are indeed different from the Han Chinese, which can be seen at a glance. Especially on the side of the Tianshan Mountains, the Mongols in the Western Regions are more obvious. John They said that the king of Tatar was actually Ozirtu, and now he lives in Beijing, on the side of the Tianshan Mountains, and the person in charge is Yang Sichang, the former governor of Baotou.

Of course, when John and the others went out, they were able to meet Ozirtu and them, not by chance, but by Wang Chengen deliberately arranged behind his back. It's just that John and the others don't know, and they don't even know about Ozirtu.

After these Spaniards learned about the situation of the Mongols, they couldn't help but have confidence in their future life in Daming. Some people even said that if they can serve the Ming Kingdom and contribute to the Ming Kingdom like the Tatars, they may be able to get an official and a half position in the Ming Kingdom, so it is too perfect to dream out.

It was one of the happiest evenings of the year for the Spaniards. While sharing the Daming goods they bought, some to wear, some to eat, useful and so on, they were amazed and discussed the future.

At this time, they didn't think about going back to Europe, after all, these people who came out to mingle, in their hometown, they didn't mix well, Ming Kingdom is so prosperous, like paradise, if they can live here without discrimination, it is what they have always dreamed of.

The next day, Wang Chengen came again.

This time, the Spaniards were relatively less apprehensive and more expectant. Because they know that at least they don't have to worry about their lives, and if they don't do well, there are good things waiting for them, or they won't give money yesterday, and they can go out for a walk. However, they also understand that if there are good things in the future, the premise is to satisfy the people of the Ming Kingdom.

This time, Wang Chengen himself spoke: "The emperor's grace is vast, Your Majesty knows that you have many difficulties in becoming a Ming person. Therefore, starting today, give you three months, someone will teach you the official language of the Ming Dynasty, teach you the rules of the Ming Dynasty, study hard, and you will be able to live in the Ming Dynasty in the future! ”

Hearing the interpreter relay the words of the past, these Spaniards were immediately excited. In fact, they did think about it and worry about it. Unexpectedly, Emperor Daming even helped them take it into account. In the excitement, they forgot their environment for a moment and cheered one after another.

"Hooray!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Thank you!"

"You're a good guy!"

“……”

Without exception, they all used lame Ming official dialect, the words that they had heard before, which they thought were good, anyway, they felt that they could express their mood at this time, or that they slipped their mouths, they all said them.

Their words made Wang Chengen a little crying and laughing when he heard them. He didn't want to talk to these stinky Xiyi, and after he quieted down, he said directly: "After three months, you will be the Ming people, and the court will not take care of you anymore, you need to move out of the post station, and like the people of the Ming Dynasty, make money and support yourself." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his voice a little and said a little sharply: "Of course, you can also serve the imperial court, and when the time comes, you can also have a wife and a son, and live a glorious and rich life!" ”

With that, he left, giving the Spaniards half a day to prepare for class. In fact, it was to give them time to digest what he had to say.

Sure enough, as soon as he left, these Spaniards had no pressure and exploded suddenly. One of them asked loudly with emotion: "You say, we crashed headlong into Luzon occupied by the Ming people, is this a curse or a blessing?" ”

They had already heard about Luzon later, and knew that it was because the governor of Luzon wanted to massacre the Ming people in Luzon, and the Ming State heard the news and sent troops to rescue them, and Luzon was occupied by the Ming State. For such a thing, they naturally have nothing to say.

Before, they were very remorseful, feeling that they had fallen into the hands of Ming Guo, and it was estimated that they were going to be finished. This feeling reached its peak at the execution ground, when he saw the Dutch governor of Batavia and others killed.

However, at this time, their thinking has obviously changed. I heard someone immediately reply: "Nonsense, if it weren't for that, would we be able to become the people of the Ming Kingdom and live in this heavenly place?" ”

"Yes, what kind of life did we live before? It's shit! Anyway, I don't want to live my old life again. ”

"Yes, after coming out, I don't know if I can go back alive? Even if I can go back, I don't know if I can make a fortune! After I go back, my hometown is in ruins, and I don't want to go back anyway! ”

“……”

John listened to them gossiping, and after waiting for a while, he clapped his hands and said, "I'll tell you, Mingguo must want to use us, otherwise, we would have ended up like the Dutch." As long as we can listen to the words of the Ming Kingdom well, do things for the Ming Kingdom, and do things well, glory and wealth will be indispensable. The events of the past few days are enough to prove it! ”

No one is stupid, and when he said this, everyone nodded one after another. One of them even said to John, "Did you already know? In the past, you must have done something that made the Ming officials very satisfied, so not only did you get more silver, but you could also go out to see the outside world of flowers? ”

John laughed, and although he didn't speak, he apparently acquiesced.

When a person next to him saw it, he asked a little curiously, "John, do you know what Mingguo wants to do with us?" Tell us about it, and let's all be prepared. At most, you will get a silver reward in the future, and you will be divided into 10%! ”

"Yes, John, tell me about it!"

“……”

John himself was their first mate and had a high prestige. After becoming a prisoner of the Ming Kingdom, he did things that allowed him to successfully turn the danger into a disaster and obtain unexpected benefits. Although some of these Spaniards had a vague guess in their hearts, they were still willing to listen to his opinion.

When John saw this, he was silent for a moment, and finally a smile appeared on his face, and he said to them, "Well, I don't want your bounty, but you will have to listen to me in the future!" ”

Seeing that the people around him nodded, he continued: "I think the most likely thing is that Mingguo wants us to take them to Mexico!" ”

"What? Ming wants to go to Mexico? Someone listened and immediately asked in surprise.

"It's impossible, doesn't it mean that the country doesn't like to go to sea?"

“……”

The few people who opened their mouths almost subconsciously asked, because of this, it seems impossible. But more people are thoughtful.

"You think, if it weren't for this, why would Ming Guo let us carefully write everything about the Pacific route?" John looked at them and asked, "Don't tell me that you didn't write this?" ”

Without waiting for others to speak, he continued: "Also, in the past, the Ming Kingdom almost didn't go to sea, but now? Nanyang is already the inland sea of the Ming Kingdom. Whether it's the Spaniards, or the Dutch, or the Portuguese, it's gone. Since then, I think that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom has a lot of ambitions, and he definitely wants to occupy Mexico like us in Europe! ”

"You may not have heard of it, but I have heard a sentence said by the officials of the Ming Kingdom, it seems that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." When John said this, he looked at his companion and said, "How big is the Ming Kingdom, we have seen it from the south to the north, this is actually not the whole of the Ming Kingdom." All of our European countries combined, there is no Ming Guoda. They are so prosperous, so many people, think about it, in this world, who is the opponent of the Ming Kingdom? ”

Speaking of this, his face became very serious, and he solemnly reminded: "In this case, I will remind you that from now on, I want to say that we are Mingguo, no, we are Ming." If you want to enjoy the rest of your life, you have to stand on the side of the strong! ”
