Weddell looked at Li Chuan worriedly, and his heart was not settled.

Even though Europeans know that there is an ancient and powerful empire called Daming in the East, but in the eyes of these Europeans who are full of bandits, no matter how big the Ming is, it is just a piece of fat, and there is nothing they dare not rob.

That's what Weddell thinks, and that's what he does.

When he encountered Huang Tianxiang's fleet, he opened fire directly after the negotiation was fruitless.

But who knew that the rumors were wrong, the legendary Eastern Empire, which was backward in gun technology, actually taught him a lesson, and now he can't believe that the artillery of the Eastern Empire can beat him thousands of yards away.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation was not good, he would have resolutely pulled the white flag and surrendered, I was afraid that he would have been sunk by the warship and fed the fish by now.

"Introduction!"

Li Chuan said with a strange face: "I am the adult you want to see." ”

"Ugh!"

Weddell was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Your Excellency, I'm so glad to see you. ”

"Really?"

Li Chuan sank his face and said, "Who gave you the courage to dare to run to my territory to spread wild?" ”

"Uh, this ......"

Weddell choked, not knowing how to quibble for a moment.

"Where's the interpreter on your ship?"

Li Chuan asked, there must be people on these British ships who can speak Chinese, otherwise how can they communicate with the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Weddell hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, my interpreter was killed by your cannon. ”

"What a short-lived ghost!"

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked about the situation in Europe and the South Seas, Weddell did not dare to hesitate, asked what to say, and was very conscious of being a prisoner.

"Young Master, where do these ghosts come from?"

Huang Tianxiang came up and asked, he was really a little curious, it was the first time he had seen a foreigner.

Li Chuan said: "These ghosts are British. ”

"British?"

Huang Tianxiang scratched his ears and cheeks, a little unclear about the situation.

Li Chuan said leisurely: "The things that don't grow, all the things I teach you in class are fed to the dogs?" ”

"Uh, hey, hey!"

Huang Tianxiang smiled dryly: "Little remember, the young master said that the West is Europe, there are many small countries there, it seems that there is a British country, could it be that these guys are from that British country?" ”

Li Chuan snorted: "England." ”

Huang Tianxiang asked: "Do you want to hand over these ghosts to the imperial court?" ”

"Why should it be handed over to the imperial court?"

Li Chuan said angrily: "These Britons can cross the ocean to Daming, they must be familiar with the sea routes, young master, I still want to go to Europe to see, just lack a guide, first detain them, hungry for a few days." ”

Huang Tianxiang hurriedly responded and hurriedly went to command the sailors to drive the prisoners off the ship.

Li Chuanjing returned to the official residence, but his mind was still thinking about the news he got from Weddell.

In fact, he knows a lot about the situation in Europe, but after all, what he got in the book is not as detailed as Weddell's knowledge, and the current Europe is not much better than the Ming Dynasty, and the European countries have already played out their dog brains, and the Thirty Years' War is still going on.

According to Weddell, he set out from London at a time when Spain and the Habsburgs were joining forces to attack France.

Historically, after the Thirty Years' War, the Netherlands became independent and became the hegemon of the sea, France and Sweden rose, the Habsburg dynasty existed in name only, and the powerful Spanish dynasty also declined.

At this time, Britain was still in the civil war, and it was a soy sauce player in the Thirty Wars.

Li Chuan wants to go to Europe to have a look, but the conditions don't allow it!

In the inner courtyard, five girls of seven or eight years old were playing in the courtyard.

"Sir!"

Seeing Li Chuan, the five girls hurriedly stood up and saluted in a proper manner.

These little girls, one was bought by Li Chuan, the other four are two pairs of twins, and several businessmen gave them, all of them are poor babies, Li Chuan asked Su Xiaomei to discipline them, at least these girls can still be fed and clothed.

"You play with yours."

Li Chuan touched the heads of several little girls one by one and strode into the house.

After a long time, a few girls were not scared of him, and when they saw Li Chuan enter the house, they continued to play with the bouncing ball, each of them stepping on a head-sized inflatable leather ball under their feet and jumping vigorously, and their faces were filled with innocence without impurities.

Su Xiaomei was sewing a robe, and when she saw Li Chuan coming in, she put down the work in her hand and asked, "Husband, I heard that a Westerner came to Jinshanwei, but a Western businessman who has business dealings with her husband?" ”

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "No, it's a group of English people who came this time." ”

"England?"

Su Xiaomei often listened to Li Chuan explain some things in Europe, and it was not strange to know that England was a country, and said: "The English have no trade points along the coast of our Daming, what are they doing in Daming?" ”

Li Chuan said: "The current Europeans are full of bandit views, those British people drifted across the sea, and came to Daming without hesitation to make a fortune, in the eyes of Europeans, Daming is full of gold." ”

Su Xiaomei hurriedly said: "You didn't have a conflict with those English, did you?" ”

"Why not!"

Li Chuan sneered and said, "These foreign devils bully the weak and fear the hard, and they dare to take the initiative to shoot at us." ”

Huang Xiaomei was startled and said, "There are no casualties, right?" ”

Li Chuan shook his head and said: "Are there any casualties, the Western artillery I got is unique, even those foreign devils can't get it, Huang Tianxiang captured those foreign devils, and locked them up for a few days." ”

Su Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief and wondered: "The English are here to do business?" ”

Li Chuan nodded and said: "Doing business is still secondary, those foreign devils mainly come to see if there is a chance, grab a chance if they have a chance, and leave if they don't have a chance, those European businessmen are not only businessmen, but also part-time pirates." ”

"It's disgusting."

Su Xiaomei said with the same hatred: "The concubine has also heard people say before that those Westerners often do evil on the seashore and rob the people's property, and these Taixiyi people dare to fight Jinshanwei's idea, which is really hateful." ”

Li Chuan smiled and said, "Little sister, do you want to meet those foreign devils?" ”

Su Xiaomei was a little moved, she hadn't seen a foreigner yet, but she was a little worried, and said, "This is not very good, right?" ”

"What's wrong."

Li Chuan said: "My husband is not so pedantic, when I settle those prisoners, my husband will take you to see what Westerners look like." ”

At this time, seven or eight hundred British sailors had all been escorted to the barracks and held together.

Jin Shanwei has a cell, but he can't hold so many people, so he can only be temporarily detained in the barracks.

However, the daily food and drink of seven or eight hundred people is a large expense, and it cannot be raised in vain.

Huang Tianxiang kicked a few ghosts who dared to disagree unhappily, and thought to himself, when he turned around, he suggested to the young master that he had to find something to do for these ghosts, the people of the Ming Dynasty couldn't eat enough, but they couldn't use white rice to raise these ghosts.

It's a pity that the naval camp and the military camp have been built, otherwise these ghost bets are the best free labor.
