Chapter 234: Foreigners

The two guards saw that the son in front of them was also dressed as rich and noble, and could walk freely in their station, and when they heard that it was the translator found by the second master, they let down their guard and stepped forward to speak:

"It turns out that the son is a translator, so please come over and ask them what they say, they are always noisy here, their ears are not clean, they don't understand what we say, and we can't understand what they are talking about, it's really annoying."

Thinking that these foreigners had been making trouble for a long time, Wan Qiyang stepped forward and the two guards opened the room, and found that the room was really made of wooden railings to look like a cell, and the people locked in it could only stretch out their hands. The smell inside was really unpleasant, and Wan Qiyang frowned as soon as he entered.

And the people inside saw that someone had come in, and they didn't look like the bandits inside, so they all stood up, including three foreign men. Wan Qiyang looked at the appearance of a total of more than a dozen people locked up inside, of course, including three foreign men, looking at the outfits and appearances of these three people, Wan Qiyang was really not sure that any of the three of them could speak English, because Wan Qiyang had previously learned from historical materials that the foreigners who could come to the Ming Dynasty during this period were generally only missionaries and merchants, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone to come to travel, but almost all of these foreigners came from Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy, Denmark and the United Kingdom. Now in coastal port cities such as Guangzhou, there are British merchants.

"Which of you speaks English?" Wan Qiyang stepped forward and pointed at the three of them and asked in English.

"Oh my God, at last someone has come to save us, may I ask you, sir, are you here to save us?" This English-speaking foreigner, with curly yellow hair, was in his thirties, and wore a gray white shirt with lace on the neckline and sleeves, and a vest to wear on the outside. What Wan Qian didn't expect the most was that he still had a hat in his hand, and it seemed that he was really a gentleman.

Wan Qiyang did not answer this person directly, because he knew that these foreigners came to China to pan for gold, like the Qing Dynasty in the middle and late Qing Dynasty brought a large amount of opium into China, leading to the outbreak of the Opium War, and the result was, of course, China's reparations. So I don't have a good impression of them in my heart, of course, Wan Qiyang is not completely angry, for the current era, Britain has not yet reached that realm.

"Where did the two of them come from?" Wan Qiyang asked the English gentleman.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Gabriel, I'm from London, England, the two of them are Italians traveling with me, can you please sir help us?" I'll pay you. This English gentleman Gabriel looked at the natives in front of him and he reported his last hope, after all, the language barrier is really the biggest obstacle, originally he had a translator who followed him, but after being surrounded by water bandits, he was so frightened that he jumped into the water and fled, I don't know if he ran away or died, so now he has no way to contact his superiors and talk to these water bandits about redemption.

Gabriel was sent to the Ming Dynasty to conduct business investigations, and Gabriel's company was the London East India Company, whose main trade goods were cotton, silk, indigo, sodium nitrate, and tea. Of course, now they are mainly engaged in the spice business, and this time Gabriel came to Daming, mainly to develop their company's business to this country, but after coming for some time, they also found several goods to choose from to trade, such as tea and porcelain, especially porcelain made him feel that this commodity would bring him the greatest profit.

This is the second time he has come to Daming, but what he didn't expect was that he hadn't arrived in Jiangxi this time, and he was robbed by water bandits when he turned the canal to Hangzhou at the mouth of the sea, and now they have been locked up for three days, and they are not allowed to go out to the toilet, just now because they want to go to the toilet and shout loudly in this room. Think about how a gentleman can endure such an environment and stay for three days at a time.

Wan Qianyang thought at this time that Britain's strength overseas was not as good as that of the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain, and he still planned to find out the identities of these people first, otherwise there was no need to do it, originally he also wanted to go to sea, since there are British now, it can be regarded as a guide. But where does this start? Wan began to think about how to make this Englishman as a backstage for his overseas development.

Gabriel looked at Wan Qiyang for a long time and did not speak, but was pondering, as if he was thinking about a problem, was he thinking about the reward? But he was still very polite and did not interrupt Wan Qiyang's contemplation, but the two Italians beside him were in a hurry, so they asked Gabriel what the situation of the natives was, whether they agreed to help them or something else.

Gabriel gestured to them with his fingers and said quietly. Unexpectedly, although Gabriel is British, he can speak Italian, but the Italians don't understand anything, neither English nor Chinese, but as long as Gabriel's translator is there, the three foreigners only need to pay one person's translation money to be able to communicate here.

"Gabriel, that's right, I'm afraid I won't get your reward, for I have heard from these robbers that they will sink you to the bottom of the river and let the big fish eat you. In this way, no one knows that you have been to the Ming Dynasty, and the poor thing is that these poor locals behind you are also buried together because you are foreigners. Alas, there is nothing I can do anymore. Wan Qianyang deliberately made a very regretful appearance, and it was a very sad kind, if you talk about acting, Wan Qianyang's performance at this time can be completely awarded, because Gabriel completely believes it. When he heard this, he suddenly sat down on the ground as if all his strength had been drained, while the other two Italians hurriedly shook his shoulders and asked him what was wrong!?

"It's over! It's over this time! Gabriel also looked dead, he never thought that this visit to Daming would be the end of his life! But he is not reconciled, if according to his plan, open up the business here, then he will be a very capable representative, the company will give him the honor of the High Medal, the key is that he still has his own family in London, it is because he goes abroad to work that the family will have income to maintain a living, if he dies here, the family can only get a pension at most, and his newly married wife will also remarry someone else. Suddenly, he felt that he should fight for a chance, because since the young man in front of him could speak authentic English, then he must also be a person with a certain amount of power, although he didn't know why he was here, but seeing that this person could move freely, at least this person still had some ability.

"Sir, sir, please be sure to help me, I have a beautiful wife at home, and an old mother at home, these are all facts, if you can help me get out of here, I can give you unexpected benefits, at least you must need something, right?" Please tell us what you want. I try my best to satisfy you, although our country does not have diplomatic relations with your country, but our company is not too far from your country, as long as I can gain a foothold here, I think I have the ability to help you, I guarantee in the honor of my ancestors, I swear! Gabriel was already very afraid that Wan Qiyang would turn around and leave, so he looked at him very nervously.
