Chapter 444: Peace Talks between All Parties (3) Sarcasm

When he was stunned, a shout suddenly sounded in his ears. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info only listened: "Lord Earl, the scenery of this new mountain, isn't it?" ”。 Magorny immediately frowned, a hint of disgust on his face.

Staunton, who was on the side, immediately turned around. When he saw someone coming, he glared angrily and said, "Cox! The voice was low, and it smelled of gnashing teeth.

"Huh! Don't be angry, Mr. Staunton! I just said a casual greeting and didn't mean anything else. Cox smirked as he walked over to Staunton's side.

"Really? The sea view of Nalupa Island is also very good, right? Staunton's tone implied a bit of other meanings.

Cox's face immediately turned pale, and his smile froze on the spot. Because Staunton really can't open any pot! This Lupa Island is the key location of the decisive battle between the British army and the Ming army. But in the end, the Indian fleet led by Cox was defeated by the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Cox escaped quickly, he did not become a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty. But the Ming Navy unexpectedly chased to the Indian naval base. The warships that escaped at that time were all stopped in the harbor for repairs. As a result, as soon as the Ming Navy came, they were all in a nest.

As the naval commander of the Indian fleet, this face is really embarrassing.

And when he fled from Lupa Island, tens of thousands of British troops were still in a stalemate with the Ming army on the island. But because of his abandonment, the advantage of the British army on the island took a sharp turn. In the end, he became a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty!

He couldn't figure out the responsibility for this.

It's just that the UK itself is now in the throes of the aftermath of the flu. The House of Representatives, which deals with national affairs, has been in a state of adjournment. So on the Indian side, I can't intervene yet. Otherwise, he will definitely be brought to a court-martial, where he will be judged justly.

It was for this reason that the aristocratic faction, led by Magorny, was extremely dissatisfied with Cox. It's just that Cox's ability is not very good, but his kung fu is really admirable. For example, Sir John Shaw, the Governor of India, was on his money offensive and opened up to him. Not only did he not punish him, but he continued to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Indian fleet.

It was also some time ago that many British generals stationed in India died suddenly on a large scale and inexplicably. Later, after investigation, it was discovered that Daming's Intelligence Department was involved. But at that time, Myeong-young was at war!

So even if it is investigated, it will not help. All kinds of assassinations have also been emerging. It was not until the Ming and British signed the Treaty of Nancy that the Ming officially stopped the assassination activities at the request of the British.

But at this time, after a madness, madness, and killing by the Ming Dynasty. There is basically not one out of ten British generals stationed in India. In particular, the admirals of the Navy suffered the greatest losses. Therefore, when the Indian governor had no one to appoint, he could only let Cox continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Indian fleet.

What's more, the Viceroy of India also received money. Doing things for others is also taking advantage of the trend.

It's just that Magorny, relying on his seniority, put pressure on the Viceroy of India several times. Say anything and don't punish Cox, report it to the king and the prime minister! At that time, not only Cox will finish playing, but it will also be difficult for the position of Viceroy of India to sit comfortably.

This frightened the Viceroy of India and dismissed Cox from his post. However, the Indian governor was dissatisfied, so he sent Cox to escort Magorny and his party.

You know, Cox is aware of this. Therefore, the impression of Magorny is not generally bad. This escort is extremely sarcastic and difficult. The cabin, for example, is arranged as an extremely ordinary sailor's cabin.

As a nobleman, it is a very humiliating thing to live with ordinary sailors. Therefore, Magorny expressed strong dissatisfaction with it. But because the whole ship is under Cox's control.

So these grievances were ignored by Cox. Those powerful sailors, in order to curry favor with Cox, also overtly or covertly, squeezed out Magorny. It's like deliberately bolting the hatch to prevent him from entering the room. Or when he sleeps, he deliberately makes a lot of noise so that he can't sleep peacefully. The most infuriating thing is adding dead rats or human feces to bread.

As a result, the whole journey was miserable.

Fortunately, Staunton, who has a very good relationship, is the deputy envoy of this negotiation. So while Cox and the sailors were trying to squeeze out Magorny, Staunton stood firmly by his side. On one occasion, Magorny's bed was deliberately urinated on by sailors, and Staunton gave up his bed without saying a word.

It is also Staunton's company that makes this journey not so difficult.

In fact, Cox is also holding the psychology of breaking the jar and breaking it! That's why they didn't care about the identity of the Magory nobility at all, and targeted them everywhere. After all, he understands that only Magorny does not spare himself. The British Parliament will one day punish him.

So every effort was made on the road to make Magorny bow to him.

It's a pity that Magorny is also very angry! No matter how Cox targeted, he was unwilling to bow his head. Even if Cox intensified, Magorny resisted.

This makes Cox even more unkind in words. The questioning just now was also a deliberate attempt to satirize Magornis as a prisoner in Johor Bahru.

It's just Cox himself, and there are a lot of ironic sore spots. In addition, now that he has arrived in Johor Bahru, he is not afraid of how difficult Cox is. So Staunton finally fought back, using the Rupa Island incident to satirize Cox's uselessness.

At this moment, it hit Cox's soft underbelly.

So he stared at Staunton coldly for a few seconds before snorting coldly and brushing his sleeves away. It wasn't until he was far away that Staunton turned around and comforted, "Lord Earl." Cox's words, you don't take it to heart. ”。

Seeing Magorny's gaze, there was still a deep melancholy. Staunton then persuaded: "This time, the king, let you negotiate, Lord Earl. Explain the affairs of the Malay Peninsula, the king still trusts you. Therefore, as long as the current matter is handled well, I am not afraid that I will not find an opportunity to punish the hated barbarian. ”。

Magorny nodded in understanding. But the melancholy in those eyes didn't change much. Obviously, Magorny still cares a lot about being a prisoner.

It's just that heart disease still needs heart medicine, and although Staunton is anxious, he is ultimately weak.

In this way, the two stood at the bow of the boat, facing the wind. In their hearts, they have their own worries. Until there was a clang, the battleship docked steadily at the pier with the help of the coast guard. Although there were many cargo ships on the side, the people on them were emptied.

So the huge dock looks a little deserted.

Magorny and others, without delay. Follow the extended covered bridge and descend to the port. Sheriff Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted them a few words and took them to the prepared carriage.

The martial law police also withdrew around the carriage. So that on the dock, the traffic is back to life. Gannon, along with the newcomers, continued to carry goods under the command of the instructor.
