Chapter 60: The Abandonment of the Heavenly Dynasty

So for Daming's decision, Ou Ziwen was really reluctant in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And no wonder! After all, he mixed well in the Civilization Brigade, so why should he be a Rausch pirate?

And the countries are very strict against piracy. Once caught, it is the consequence of being sent to the gallows.

Although he is not averse to returning to the sea, it must also be the Ming Navy! Who wants to be the unsightly pirate.

Therefore, no matter what he thinks, he can't figure it out.

Seeing his reluctance, Nan Feng explained in a gentle tone: "Comrade Ou Ziwen, I know that you are very reluctant in your heart. But I have to say that this is an order of the Ming Dynasty, a resolution of the Cabinet, and it was approved by the president. ”。

On the official face, the high-level of the Ming Dynasty uniformly addressed the lower levels as comrades. and the lower class to the upper class, it is called an official position. As for privately, it's up to you.

At this moment, Nanfeng used the official title to let Ou Ziwen explain the situation.

Hearing this, Ou Ziwen's face became even more ugly. According to the tone of the cabinet minister, this pirate has to be responsible if he doesn't want to.

Seeing this, Nan Feng reminded again: "If this thing is done well, the Ming Navy will definitely have a place for you." ”。

When Ou Ziwen heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. What he dreamed of most was to join the Ming Navy, but because the navy had not been established, he never had the opportunity.

Now hearing the Cabinet Secretary say this, his heart is simply happy. It seems that pirates are also quite promising.

After that, Nan Feng revealed part of the plan of the 'Light Messenger' to him, which immediately shocked him.

It was only then that he understood why the cabinet ministers had made such a promise.

It turned out that the Ming Dynasty wanted to make a stumbling block for the world's maritime hegemon, Britain!

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but thump, and he was so excited that everyone wanted to fly.

As you can imagine, this task will certainly not be easy to accomplish. After all, Britain's maritime power should not be underestimated. But if it is done well, then the reward he can get is beyond imagination.

Moreover, the Ming Society would provide the necessary material support so that they would not appear too weak in the face of British merchant ships.

So without much thought, he agreed. The crying face instantly turned into a smiling face.

Since then, the wind and waves in the South China Sea have become even more uncalm!

And at the same time, far from the South China Sea in the Ming mainland.

Zhang Xiao stood on the deck, facing the wind, quietly looking at the city of Guangzhou not far away.

Due to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's policy of closing the country to the outside world, the city of Guangzhou was not as prosperous as in later generations. But in China at this time, it is not bad. After all, Guangzhou is the only place where trade with foreign countries is allowed, and in terms of development, it has an inherent advantage over other cities.

But in Zhang Xiao's eyes, it was so shabby, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment in his heart.

I saw that the pier was not big and not prosperous. There are also not many ships moored, and it looks like a small port in later generations. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this was the city of Guangzhou.

I remember when I visited Spanish-controlled Manila last month, it was full of merchant ships and shops.

At first glance, it gives people a sense of bustling and hustle and bustle.

He knows why!

"Shut the country off!" Gritting his teeth, he muttered these four words indignantly.

It was the arrogance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that made China lag behind the West for more than 200 years, and caused it to suffer all kinds of humiliation and humiliation in modern times. The land was ceded and the compensation was paid, and the backbone of the Chinese children was interrupted!

What is ridiculous is that at this time, Emperor Qianlong was still rejoicing in his achievements and was pretentious. In his twilight years, he was still complacent about his achievements.

To be honest, if conditions permit, Zhang Xiao now wants to take the Ming army to pull Qianlong, a bad old man, from power. Let him open his eyes and see, in front of the musket cannon, what big knives and spears, are all a pile of scrap iron.

But he couldn't!

In the cabinet's plan, in order to take action against the Manchus, it was necessary to deal with the Westerners who were blocking in the South Seas. Only by subduing them can Daming have no worries.

So even though he is hot-blooded, he also understands things.

This visit to Guangzhou is just to see.

Look at China in this era, and look at the homeland of this era.

When the boat docked, his clenched fists slowly loosened again. The crew stood by and did not dare to come out.

But at this moment, Charlie walked up to Zhang Xiao with a gloomy face.

Seeing that he was preoccupied, it was a little difficult to speak.

Zhang Xiao knew that he might be in trouble, so he lowered his tone and said in a harmonious voice: "Is something wrong?" ”。

When Charlie heard this, his face became even heavier, he nodded, and said in a chagrined tone: "The Qing people said that our ship was too ostentatious, so- so we were not allowed to land." ”。

As he spoke, there were already a lot of people on the dock with the surname of Qing Guobai with big braids. They pointed at Hope with a look of trepidation.

Some people have already bowed down to the Hope, begging the sea demon to spare their lives. The black smoke coming out of the chimney was really like that.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao also understood the reason why the Qing officials refused to land on them.

"Hey!" , Zhang Xiao sighed and ordered: "You send some more gold to the Qing officials and let them be accommodating." ”。

and sent Li Chenggong and Charlie together.

Because Li Chenggong is a Cantonese in modern times, he can speak Cantonese. Let him go, and it will be easier to communicate.

After waiting for another half a while, Charlie and Li Chenggong returned to the ship. Although his face was not so heavy, he could not see the joy either.

It turned out that after paying fifty ingots of gold, the Qing officials finally agreed. But there are also many requirements!

For example, people like Li Chenggong were not allowed to set foot on the land of the Qing Dynasty. And Charlie, although these white people can go to Guangzhou City, they must also sit in a sedan chair, and they can't be seen by ordinary people. If you live, you can only live in the thirteen lines. Without a special order, you can't set foot on the land beyond the thirteen elements.

And their ships cannot be docked here, they must be kept out of the eyes of the people.

Listening to such a bunch of broken demands, Zhang Xiao really wanted to order the gunners to prepare shells and blow these Qing officials into slag. Lehi stood aside, also finding it difficult to accept.

TMD! What kind of metamorphosis does this requirement, you can't show your head, you can't set foot on the land beyond the thirteen elements. You have to drive the boat to the sea and float, so how to replenish the supplies?

The most important thing is!

They have become **** outcasts! Can't set foot on the land of the Qing Dynasty!

The more I think about it, the more angry modern people such as Zhang Xiao, Li Hai, and Li Chenggong become. Looking at the high-spirited Qing officials not far away, it was also unpleasant.

And the Chinese crew on the ship, as well as the Europeans like Charlie, seem to be surprised by this perverted request!

But seeing that Zhang Xiao was so angry, they couldn't help but express it. I saw Charlie persuade in a low voice: "Minister Zhang, why don't I take a few crew members down to replenish some supplies, and then leave quickly?" ”。

Several Chinese crew members also advised Zhang Xiao not to get angry. On the day they went to sea, they became **** outcasts. Although my heart is sad, I am used to it.
