Chapter 149 The Foreigners of Kaesong Port

In a dilapidated tavern on a dilapidated street in the port area of Kaesong, Joseph, dressed in a pure black robe and wearing a long hat on his head, walked into the tavern, and a group of strange-looking people in the tavern stared at the door of the tavern.

Tom, the owner of the tavern, with a big belly, exclaimed:

"Father! Hello! ”

"Hello, Tom." Joseph replied to Tom, "Old rules! Excellent whiskey, filled. He pulled out an old kettle from his bosom that was polished at the edges.

Tom listened, "Howler! The best whiskey! ”

In fact, everyone knows that "the best whiskey" only exists in legends, and now in Kaesong, it is good to drink it, and where else can you choose.

Joseph is a priest, but a drunken priest, and fits well with this place where birds don't, really.

"Father! Maybe you can have a glass of Song people's wine to try it, burn the knife, it's pretty good. One of the shopkeepers shouted in a wide-brimmed round hat and a cloak, and the bulging beneath the cloak looked like a man with a guy.

Joseph looked there and recognized it as the German Dugan, who and his fellow mercenaries were sitting at the three tables of old Tom.

Sailors and mercenaries are now the two most people left in this harbor. Even if the Dutch have run away, they will continue to eat and do things here.

Cape Town was founded very late, but it grew so fast that even now there are hundreds of Westerners in addition to the soldiers in the prisoner camp.

Now that the port of Kaesong is like this, this group of mercenaries is trapped here, and they can't go back to their homes. And, even if he could, Joseph believed that these Germans would not return home, and that Europe was now in the midst of the famous Thirty Years' War, and that their homeland was being ravaged by Austria, France, Denmark, Sweden, England, Spain, and almost all other European countries.

Later, Germany was the main battlefield of this war, and it is estimated that nearly 60 percent of the population died. The armies of these countries are desperately tossing on German soil, and they are not their own countries anyway, they have almost made Germany a region, and Dugan, these mercenaries who came out with great difficulty, will only think of going back when they are brainless.

Joseph is in serious civil strife in these own countries, but the Germans who have been hanging outside at their own house look down very much, but there is no way, the current Germany is like this, it has been scattered for many years, it has long been a famous war quagmire in Europe, and the small Germany has concentrated hundreds of various princes, such a country, it is strange that people can have a sense of belonging, to put it bluntly, the current Germany is not a country at all, and Prussia, which has unified the country and created an iron-blooded Germany in later generations, has been nesting in the north.

Therefore, Joseph's complaint that these mercenaries do not have the concept of a motherland is completely false, and they do not belong to any country at all. The only thing he didn't do with these mercenaries was that he Joseph was obviously a Catholic, and most of these hillbillies from the German countryside were Protestants.

Joseph was also a little moved by Dugan's invitation, after all, a person who was an alcoholic person had long been unable to contain his wine worm after drinking light wine for several days, and at this time, the fragrance of Song Ren's wine in Dugan's wine glass was sending him an irresistible summons.

All right! God was above, and Joseph could not refuse this call, and involuntarily went to Dugan's wine table, and talked to the hillbillies he had always disdained, Dugan was a little flattered, and hurriedly asked the people around him to make way for the priest, and took out a fine cup from the counter, and poured the contents of his wine bag for Joseph.

Joseph drank it all, and then his eyes widened in a blink of an eye, his mouth opened as if he were about to die, and his face turned red, and it took a long time for him to regain his strength. Look at the group of nasty German mercenaries around him staring at him with a malicious smile.

"This wine is too strong!"

Joseph almost made a fool of himself.

"Yes! It's too strong," there was a loud roar from the tavern, and the damned mercenaries were as happy as if it were a holiday, and I vaguely heard someone say,

"Sure enough, it's a priest! This Song people's wine, just like that, will be stuffy in one sip! ”

"Yes, it's fun!"

"Father Priest is amazing!"

"Good amount of wine."

Joseph's little face turned red.

Shet! Where is the amount of alcohol I have, I obviously don't know the strength of this wine! Who knew that the Song people's wine would be stronger than whiskey?

Dugan silently helped Joseph fill a cup again, and then leaned in front of Joseph and said:

"Father, is it true that there are big names in the Song people who are coming? What kind of people are the Song people coming this time, and they will consider recruiting us, oh, foreigners? ”

It turns out that these guys are not idle and courteous, and they want to inquire about things from themselves.

Joseph's head was already dizzy from the burning knife just now, but his heart was still spinning in circles. Now that the Netherlands have been defeated and gone back, the remaining Westerners in Kaesong will be in trouble, the customs and language of the Song people are very different from those of Westerners, and it is not easy for Westerners to find suitable things to do in the current port of Kaesong.

In fact, Westerners in this era are not xenophobic, the key is that they have no confidence at all in front of the Song people, and the Song people are with Westerners, and it is more that the Song people reject them, rather than the other way around.

This is how the Song people of this era are.

And people like Joseph and Dugan will stay in Kaesong Port, and they will have long left the national dignity of the country and something out of the clouds.

However, the threshold of the Song people is too high! Only Joseph was the only one in this group who was fluent in multiple languages because of his missionary work, and he could also speak a little Chinese, so he was recruited by the Song people to help the Song people sort out the archives left by the Dutch at the city hall.

And as for mercenaries like Dugan, huh! If it's not my race, its heart will be different, compared with the Asian nation, Dugan and them are all Yaksha red-haired ghosts and the like, it's good not to drive them away, and they want to find some work in the hands of the Song people, what are you doing? Want to come out and be scary?

In short, it's hard, it's very hard.

Joseph said in a daze:

"The big guy, yes, a big guy! Big characters! The new governor, it is said that in the future, he will most likely become their prince! ”

Joseph remembered bits and pieces he had heard while helping to send people away.

Governor, Prince?

Dugan and his friends looked at each other.
