As soon as Tang Ming heard that the old man reported that his home was actually from the Netherlands, he became interested. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He didn't expect the Dutch to come to trade with Jeju Island so soon, and it stands to reason that they should still be active in Luzon or the island nation. But they are here, is this a signal that the Western powers are coming?

If he guessed correctly, then this also indicates that the era of great navigation has come ahead of schedule, and this is likely to be the consequence of Zheng He's voyage.

They suddenly changed their previous indifference, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the old gentleman is a big businessman from the Netherlands, and the kid is really clumsy and doesn't see it, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

After a few polite sentences, Tang Ming's tone suddenly changed again, and he sneered disdainfully: "The Rykov family is a fart, and it is even more so in Tang Delou on Jeju Island, and it is not your turn to be presumptuous here." Don't you just fall in love with Lao Tzu's Xiaobai? Joke, you dare to go up and try it! ”

Tang Ming's voice raised a lot at this moment, and this paragraph full of insults immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. When everyone saw that it was Rykov, a nasty old man, who was being scolded, they all watched with smiles.

It was clear that the Dutchman Rykov was not popular in this circle, and at this moment a voice came from the back of the crowd: "It's true that dogs can't change their, and the Dutch merchants have taken off their merchants' skins, and they still look like stinky pirates." ”

Rykov was no longer calm, and he didn't expect such a disgraceful thing to be humiliated in public to happen to him. It was even more humiliating for a boy whose hair had not yet grown up, and the old guy's eyes widened, and he first looked for the person who spoke behind his back. But in such a noisy place, it was so easy to find the person who was secretly sarcastic about him.

After the search was unsuccessful, I saw him turn his head viciously to face Tang Ming, and said with a cruel smile: "Boy, you should have heard it just now, our Rykov family is indeed pirates, although we are also doing legitimate business now." But the means are still there, if you don't want to force me to do it, then you should choose to obediently let your dog out, or hum...... You can't get out of this gate! ”

As soon as Rykov's words were finished, Tang Ming raised his feet again and walked out of the door, he didn't want to make trouble on his own territory. But the Dutchman Rykov in front of him is the person he will definitely engage in, and he is Tang Ming's real first contact with Western countries.

The early advent of the Age of Discovery heralded that Tang Ming's maritime career would also be on the agenda, and Zhu Di's capital relocation ceremony gave these greedy robbers a chance to see the prosperity of this ancient oriental country. Naturally, these flies, which scare around the sea all day long, will come to the wind.

They are even more hateful than the pirates of the island country, the pirates just rob and leave, but these colonial guys are not only robbing your resources, they are also enslaving the people who have been robbed.

Tang Ming's ignorance finally completely angered Rykov, the old guy's whole face was completely distorted at this moment, and with a cold drink, two fierce men immediately flashed behind him. Neither of them let go of a fart, they directly reached out to grab Tang Ming's shoulder, and the two servants who followed Tang Ming closely rushed forward as soon as possible, regardless of the danger.

But the difference in stature is more than a star and a half, and the two servants are not the opponents of the two fierce men at all. was easily pushed to the ground, but this delay of time also gave Tang Ming the first opportunity, the flintlock pistol he was carrying was already in his hand, and with a hint of perseverance at the corner of his mouth, he did not hesitate to knock the trigger on Rykov who was directly opposite.

"Bang!"

Blood splashed on Rykov's chest, and the old guy looked stunned, obviously he still didn't believe that Tang Ming actually killed himself like this. The sharp pain in his chest and the increasingly difficult breathing made the old man slowly come back to his senses. The hand wanted to be raised to point at Tang Ming, but it was only halfway up, and his body could no longer stand.

With a look of unwillingness, Rykov fell to the ground with a bang. The two big men couldn't take care of Tang Ming anymore, and turned around to check on their master.

The change came too quickly, and the onlookers present were all stunned, and no one expected that this young man, who looked harmless to humans and animals, would not lose to Rykov, a pirate-born guy, at all.

Tang Ming couldn't reload the gun with one hand, fortunately, there were still two little guys, but after all, they had never touched this thing, and after taking the gun, they didn't know how to load ammunition.

This is not good, if you don't hurry up, wait until the two big men react, then they will be tragic. Tang Ming's worries were obviously unnecessary, Tang Deok Tower was one of the most heavily guarded places on Jeju Island, except for Tang Mansion. Shortly after the gunshots, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside the door.

The leader is Li Ba, who is usually the prefect in charge of security in the city, and he is also the captain of the security team named by Tang Ming. He and his people rushed in and saw Tang Ming at first sight, no way, Tang Ming was already close to the door, and his dress in civilian clothes was the most eye-catching in this hall, not to mention Xiaobai, the biggest dog on Jeju Island.

"Sir, what's going on?"

Li Ba saw that Tang Ming was fine, and after a moment of nervousness, he relaxed, smiled and stuck to his side, licked his face and asked with a smile.

As long as it wasn't Tang Ming who was injured, Li Ba didn't care about the life and death of others, not to mention that it was an outsider who was lying in a pool of blood at the moment. In this day and age, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is common for people to die or something, and human life is as worthless as ants.

Seeing that it was Li Ba who arrived, Tang Ming didn't need to be nervous anymore, nodded and pointed at the two big men, and said coldly: "Take them down for interrogation and detain all their assets on Jeju Island, including all their ships." In the future, as long as Dutch merchants are not allowed to set foot in the waters of Jeju Island, those who dare to disobey the order will be killed! ”

Although Li Ba didn't know what was going on, Tang Ming's order was his idea, and he immediately tied up and took people away without a word. Li Ba came and went faster, and the onlookers began to guess Tang Ming's identity at this moment.

Some of them had heard of something, and their eyes began to shine, especially the two maritime merchants from Daming, the two of them immediately stepped forward to Tang Ming and said, "Dare to ask if Shaoxia is Chief Tang?" ”

Tang Ming squinted at the two old men, was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Exactly!" ”

The old man at the head of the group was overjoyed, and immediately said: "The little old man is the head of the Dahe Commercial Bank in southern Fujian, and he has a single word. Today is an important gathering of our maritime merchants, I wonder if Chief Tang can stay and listen to our discussions! (To be continued.) )
