Chapter 39: Zhang Xiao's Reverse Scales
Pontianak, Borneo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is a port city and the largest city in Lan Fang country. If it weren't for the sea, it would be vulnerable to threats from the sea, and Lan Fangguo would probably have set the capital here.
After all, Dong Wanjin lives deep inland, and in this era of walking, communication and land transportation, the development of Dong Wanjin is far inferior to Pontianak.
At the same time, on the sea not far from Pontianak, the steamship Hope spewed billowing black smoke, cleaving the waves, and sailed towards it with great momentum.
As a Chinese country with 5,000 years of civilization, the Ming Dynasty certainly knows how to exchange courtesies. In addition, Zhang Xiao, the Minister of the Navy, is young and vigorous, and he is at the head of his blood. So since Lan Fangguo has let the pirates welcome them, then Da Ming, how can there be a reason not to return the courtesy?
As for what is based on virtue to repay grievances and peace, hehe, didn't they all say that they are still courteous? Since Lan Fangguo has already expressed his 'goodwill', of course Da Ming has to say that he will go back! Besides, Zhang Xiao has never been a generous person, and he still has some flaws that must be reported.
Especially in this matter, Lan Fangguo has touched his scales.
Because in modern society, he is a fanatical self-government, a party, an emperor, a Hanist, and an out-and-out people, a patriarch, a righteous and righteous son.
Whenever he has free time, he will work with a large number of like-minded friends to attack and attack various individuals or organizations that are hostile to China and the country and spread unfavorable remarks. For example, in the first half of the year, in order to maintain the position of one China, Li Yi Bar mobilized thousands of bar friends to attack the social platform of Wanwan.
In that sport, he deliberately took leave not to go to work, eating instant noodles and staying in front of the computer, just to go out with thousands of bar friends.
So in his opinion, Lan Fangguo, who is also Chinese, actually colluded with pirates, killed each other, and attacked the ships of the Ming Dynasty. It's unforgivable!
This kind of behavior has become like a people, a scum, a class, a traitor!
It's like the bay of Taiwan and drugs, the port and can of hugging the British father, and kneeling and licking the Singapore of the United States. Although most of the people living in the area are Chinese, they are bent on opposing China and the Chinese nation as a whole.
Just like Fan Wencheng when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Wang Jingwei during the Japanese invasion of China was all for personal interests, and did not hesitate to betray the people and clans, work for foreign races, and enslave and enslave the scum of their own nation.
For the entire Chinese people, this is a poison tumor, a cancer cell that is spreading!
If it is said that he hates the most those robber and thief countries that have bullied China in China's modern history. Then what he wants to skin and cramp the most is those who kneel and lick the other race in the same race, and bully the villains and scum of the same race!
So he's angry now!
Then the consequences are very serious.
When the Hope appeared in Pontianak, some of the Lan Fang people who were working on the docks were so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. Because this ship is so magnificent, the hull is still made of iron. How can such an iron lump float on the surface of the sea?
But it's no wonder that Lan Fang people don't know. After all, it wasn't written on the Hope, it was just a wooden ship wrapped in iron sheets, so it looked like a big iron ship.
Of course, the surprise of Lan Fang people is far more than that. For example, the big chimney erected on the ship, the thick black smoke, is very similar to the legendary demon qi! And the whole ship seems to be equipped with wings, and it is running fast!
It didn't take long for them to be there.
I heard the boom, boom, boom, three black cannons blasted out shells one after another, and the ships blocking the front of the Hope were like paper paste, and they were instantly reduced to pieces!
Originally, Charlie and the others also wanted to suggest to Zhang Xiao not to attack the merchant ships parked in the port. Because many of the ships parked here are merchant ships from Western countries. In this era, there was an unwritten rule between countries that no matter if there was a war between two countries, they could not attack the merchant ships of a third country.
Otherwise, it will attract the wrath of the entire civilized world.
But Zhang Xiao said, "Who said that we attacked the ships of a third country." Since this is Pontianak, all the boats that stop are Lan Fangguo. If a ship from another country is unfortunate enough to be attacked, it is only a mistake. As a member of the civilized world, we can only express regret for this. ”。
Anyway, it's all a misunderstanding. Even if you want to find compensation, it's just grinding your mouth, and you don't have any real children!
Hearing this, Charlie had no choice but to do so. I silently prayed in my heart that the merchant ships of those Western countries would never bump into the muzzle of the gun.
And at this time, the people on the dock also understood that the ship was coming with full malice!
In an instant, chaos engulfed on the docks, and all the people who were looking forward to it rushed out of the docks and rushed towards the city. Some of the sailors who were still on the ship also set sail in a hurry, just wanting to escape the sea as soon as possible.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the previously bustling and noisy wharf fell silent, and there were only a few small wrecked ships in the harbor. The others either fled or became debris floating on the surface of the sea.
Zhang Xiao didn't care about this.
After all, if Da Ming wants to show off his muscles and flesh to Lan Fang, he must find a reference. These ships just became targets.
At this moment, he stood at the bow of the boat, looking out at the city of Pontianak a hundred meters away.
I saw that the buildings in the urban area are all typical Chinese and Chinese characteristics, with arches and cornices, pink walls and tiles, and Chinese character signboards abound.
It looks similar to the modern protected ancient city of Pingyao. It's just a little more commercial.
After coming to this world for so long, Zhang Xiao is the first time to see a Chinese city in this era. Although Pontianak is not a complete Chinatown, these Chinese character signs, these Chinese buildings, still touched his heart.
Li Hai, Li Chenggong and others who accompanied him couldn't help but be excited!
It's like a wanderer far from home, touching the scene. This Pontianak made them feel a little bit of the taste of their homeland. But that's just a few feelings! Because each of them knows that in modern times, there can be no going back.
Even if you go back to the mainland of China and return to the place where you used to live, the mountains are still the same mountains, and the water is still the same water, but the people are not the same people anymore!
To borrow Li Qingzhao's poem, it is 'things are people, not everything'.
China is still under the control of the corrupt and backward Manchu and Qing dynasties!
Put away the emotion, the Hope just blasted the fort of Pontianak into rubble. Wisps of gunpowder smoke flew wantonly, and the air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder.
Zhang Xiao asked people to call the pirate leader Wang Chunfeng.
"Meet Minister Zhang!" , Wang Chunfeng bowed to Zhang Xiao and said cautiously. He is still relatively clever, and when he heard the people on the ship call Zhang Xiao like this, he also learned. And he also learned from the Daming crew. In Daming, there is no kneeling and worshipping. When the superiors and subordinates meet, they just bow. Among the peers, it is just a handshake or a greeting.
So he bowed to Zhang Xiao in accordance with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, at first, he didn't understand that Daming didn't practice kneeling!
But after listening to the words of the doctor Li Chenggong, he immediately realized.
It turned out that Da Ming thought that the man had gold under his knees, except for kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents, no one else had to kneel! Of course, women are the same, they can't kneel casually!
Otherwise, it will lose its integrity and not conform to the national characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, this kind of prostration is also written into bad habits. If someone violates it, they will be punished.
Thinking of this, Wang Chunfeng felt cold again. I am not only happy for the enlightenment of the Ming Dynasty to abolish the kneeling ceremony, but also shocked by the Ming Dynasty's resistance to the punishment of the kneeling ceremony.
At this time, Zhang Xiao looked at the Hope City in front of him, and said to Wang Chunfeng intently: "You get off the boat!" Tell the people of Lan Fangguo about our conditions. Tell them, 'If there is no answer at sunset, the shells will fall on the city of Pontianak'. ”。
Wang Chunfeng immediately said yes again and again, took the kayak given by Daming, and boarded the dock. In the sight of everyone, it quickly disappeared in the city of Pontianak.
(Thanks to Brother Feng's recommendation votes and rewards, because I have to take the exam today, I can't watch four more.) But if you have time, you will try to do three more, please forgive me)
