Li Guangzhong no longer treats me as an outsider at all.

I sat in the spacious main hall of the Ling family, and the Dengzhou commander beside me was asking about his former boss's situation, and I learned that Ling Yun left Dengzhou suddenly three years ago, and he didn't say where to go before leaving, but asked Li Guangzhong, who was still the deputy commander at the time, to take care of his daughter, and in addition, he also told Li Guangzhong a very, very important thing, many years later, a man named Zhang Ziyun came to Dengzhou, and asked Li Guangzhong to take care of this person.

Does this count me being calculated by an ancient person, although I don't know how Ling Yun knew my name? Of course, I'm not interested in knowing, there are too many incredible things that have happened recently, and Ling Yun is actually a pervert who has traveled from ancient times to modern times, so basically I already feel powerless to complain about this person. I finally know now why that bastard is so kind to me among so many students, but this bastard, knowing that I can cross, why didn't he teach me his best skills when he taught me swordsmanship, and taught me some obscene and useless tricks, isn't this clearly cheating me?

"Before Brother Ling left, he actually explained a lot of things for me and Yu Ruoyu Rou to help you complete, but it is estimated that the two sisters are still a little hesitant, so they haven't told you, I thought he would tell you, but looking at you, it seems that you don't know at all!"

What else does that perverted man have to say, I'll take it, you told me before I crossed, but if he really said that, I guess I would also treat him as crazy, after all, who would have thought that I could return to the Ming Dynasty!

"Looking at your appearance, it is estimated that I can only complete half of Brother Ling's entrustment for him, and as for the other half, it is indeed not very suitable for you!" Li Guangzhong looked me up and down, and then sighed.

Don't be half and half, that is, I don't want to be suitable for that half, although it is a good thing to be very familiar with the commander, but the current situation makes it clear that Ling Yun, the dead middle-aged man, has arranged a lot of things for me, although I don't know what kind of calculation he is playing, but I have decided that I will never let his calculation start, I don't want to participate in any historical events, anyway, I have made up my mind, just don't interfere in anything.

"My father-in-law didn't give me a word when he came!" Just thinking about it, Ling Yurou walked in from the door, but she didn't see Ling Yuruo's shadow, probably went to change her clothes.

"There are a lot of things in the Ling family, you are so busy, I can't bear to come all the time, Yuruo's girl is too, she always runs to me if she is fine. Next time, I will teach her to learn some more, so that she can help you take care of your family affairs. ”

Ling Yurou smiled slightly, then looked at me again, I don't know why, her face was slightly red, she glanced at Li Guangzhong: "About my father, my father-in-law didn't tell Brother Zhang!" After all, he is a newcomer, so don't scare him! ”

Li Guangzhong nodded: "I know, I know, how dare I scare Brother Zhang, it's just that Yurou, you are too partial, you will protect it so quickly!" ”

Ling Yurou's face turned red, and then she said, "Father-in-law, don't talk nonsense, Brother Zhang is still here!" After speaking, he peeked at me again, the conversation between the two people just now already made me feel ambiguous enough, as soon as Yurou's eyes fell on me, I immediately changed my face, and hurriedly turned my head over, and my heart accelerated inexplicably.

Li Guangzhong saw that the effect he had created had been achieved, so he laughed out loud, laughed for a while, and then stood up and said, "Okay, okay, that's it, Yurou, in fact, my father-in-law came this time because I wanted to ask you for help!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Ling Yurou: "You help my father-in-law to see, what does this bird language mean?" ”

Yurou took the paper and looked at it carefully for a long time, the two eyebrows were suddenly twisted together, obviously she couldn't understand the meaning of the paper, she looked at Li Zhizhong with an expectant face, sighed and said: "The text on this letter is different from the ordinary Hongyi text, and I can't see what it means." This is the first time I've seen this kind of writing, and where did my father-in-law get this letter? ”

Li Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head, and said with a smile: "I was robbed from the sea a few days ago, this ship was originally going east, it seems that it was going to the Japanese country, how can you say that I can cheap those turtle sons, so I got these people back, don't say it, these people look like Hongyi's big officials, one by one they are dressed like dogs, and the leader has been croaking those birds with me, as soon as I got angry, I put these people in prison, and I also got dozens of boxes of fire and projectiles from the ship, However, none of the people in the Divine Machine Camp will use it, and I found this letter from the leader's room, and I wanted to send it to you to see what I could find out of it. ”

In other words, Li Zhizhong is too bold, isn't his behavior a pirate? If this had been in our time, it would have become a diplomatic dispute long ago. It's also a shame that this old man can do it, but looking at Ling Yuruo's helpless expression, I know that this old man's piracy is estimated to be not a few, although I don't want to meddle in these historical events, but seeing Ling Yurou's eyebrows tightened, I couldn't help but walk over, although I don't know if I can help, but let's help, although I can almost say with certainty, I can't help 100%, because the Hongyi of the Ming Dynasty basically refers to the Spaniards and Portuguese, and I, in addition to English and Japanese, No other language has been touched by the other.

"Let me take a look!" Under the amazement of Li Guangzhong and Yu Rou, I took the letter in Yu Rou's hand, and the letter was really full of letters, it seems that Hongyi's letter is right, alas, I don't understand Spanish at all, although I have long expected such a result, but when I think of Yu Rou's disappointed expression, I feel regretful in my heart. I looked at the fluent letters on the paper and sighed, I knew I was going to learn Spanish.

Hey, wait, my eyes moved from the strange letters at the beginning of the letter to the content of the letter, these original strange letters are slowly combining into a language I know, one by one words jumped out of the chaotic letters, I am dizzy, all English words, I don't know whether it is Li Guangzhong's luck or my luck, you know, the United Kingdom at that time was not like the later Britain, there are their shadows everywhere in the world, this era, is to create the legend of the new route of the Spaniards and Portuguese, Especially on the eastern route, basically except for Spain is Portugal, other countries rarely get involved in the eastern route, even if it is 10,000 steps back, the Dutch appear here is more reasonable than the British, I made up, I didn't expect to let this Li Guangzhong rob a British ship, these British are also unlucky enough, you know, in this era, the difficulty of finding someone who understands English is basically equivalent to finding an alien, ah, Wanli forty-six years, Britain has not even started the bourgeois revolution.

"Brother Zhang understands the Hongyi characters on this?" Yurou was careful, and when she saw the smile on my face, she understood what was going on, and immediately asked.

I smiled and nodded, this is probably the unique luck of those who travel through time and space, Yurou also had a look of admiration, Li Guangzhong on the side was already full of disappointment, but when he heard that I could understand these Hongyi characters, he was immediately overjoyed, but on his face, there was indeed a trace of surprise, but this time the surprise quickly disappeared in his hearty "Brother, it will all depend on you!" The words are in the air.

I don't delve into it.,I picked up the letter in my hand and translated it word by word.,Because it's ancient English.,So some words still don't understand.,But combined with the context and even guessed the text to finally understand.,The name on the payment is very awkward.,Obviously not an orthodox British name.,I had to spell letter by letter.,Fortunately, although it's Old English.,But the basic rules of phonetic transcription are still there.,More importantly,This name I seem to have been Baidu., And the group of barmates at the World War II bar where I was mixed up at the beginning had repeatedly mentioned this person's name.

"Gu, Si, Ta, Fu, A, Dao, Fu" is a series of sentences that are .......

I immediately raised my head and stared at Li Guangzhong, who was startled by my expression.

"Brother Zhang, are you okay?" Li Guangzhong was probably taken aback by the look on my face.

"It's not my father-in-law who caused some serious trouble, right?" Ling Yurou on the side was also nervous.

"No, Uncle Li not only didn't get into trouble, but also did a great good deed!" I smiled and said, I have basically understood the content of the letter, this letter does mention the matter of those firearms mentioned by Li Guangzhong, although it does not mention how these weapons are used, but the content above is more important than how to use those guns and cannons.

Although I don't really want to meddle in this matter, but after all, studying history is my favorite thing, and now, a huge historical event is being put in front of me, for a historical research freak like me, even if I can't interfere, I can't help but meddle.

"Uncle Li can bring this person here, I'll have a good talk with this person, I think he'll tell us how to use those fire systems!" I smiled and said to Li Guangzhong on the side, Li Guangzhong was only slightly stunned, and then nodded with a smile.

"Okay, okay, just do it, just do it, now I'll rely on you! You wait, and I'll call for someone to bring them at once. As he spoke, he walked out and walked out in a few steps.

"Brother Zhang, you want to have an interview with that person? Do you know the language of Hongyi? As soon as Li Guangzhong went out, Ling Yurou looked at me with her beautiful eyes open, and the expression on her face was somewhat surprised.

"What? Won't you say? Don't you know how to read Hongyi? "According to my estimate, Yurou probably could read Spanish, so when she saw the letter in English, she couldn't, but listening to her, she didn't seem to speak Spanish.

She blushed and nodded: "Hongyi language is too difficult, I just learned a little from a general officer, although I can read some simple Hongyi language, but I can't speak, I always feel that those words don't know how to come out of people's mouths, although I want to learn later, but I can't find someone who can speak." ”

I see. I nodded, this situation is also very common, I think when I was learning English, I could also write but not read, but later I strengthened my listening and speaking practice to gradually get better. In the Ming Dynasty, there were no tape recorders and no tapes, and Ling Yurou's ability to learn Latin was already very powerful.

"Brother Zhang, what does this letter say? Look at you, as if something good has happened? Ling Yurou looked at the letter in my hand and asked curiously.

I smiled slightly, and then nodded noncommittally, maybe this matter is a good thing for me and Li Guangzhong. I spread out the letter in my hand, pointed to the dense letters on the envelope, and said, "This is a letter to the captain, informing the captain that he wants to send the ship's goods to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the daimyo of Japan, and urging Tokugawa to accept the request for trade. ”

"Japan?" Ling Yurou looked at me, a little incomprehensible.

Ah, I remembered that at this time it should not be called Japan, but the Wakoku, so I immediately explained, "Japan is Wakoku, and that's what we call it there." ”

Ling Yurou nodded, and the expression on her face relaxed: "In this way, my father-in-law really didn't make a mistake this time." ”

"It's not wrong, it's not wrong, but does Uncle Li often hijack ships in this area?" Listening to Yurou's tone, it seems that Li Guangzhong's piracy is not just once or twice.

Ling Yurou nodded with a wry smile: "Basically, I go out once a month, although it is nominally a patrol, but basically I bring back a lot of things every time, and sometimes I even bring people and boats back, especially Hongyi's boat, which has made a lot of trouble and has also caused a lot of trouble, and once my father-in-law even robbed the official ship of Chao Xian, and was almost scolded to death by the people of the Ministry of War." Although it was still not done in the end, it finally relented a little, and after that, there were far fewer people and boats like this. It seems that Ling Yuruo does not fully agree with this kind of maritime behavior, and it seems that he has been persuaded many times, but basically it has no effect, although in this era, pirates can be said to be rampant in all seas of the world, but Li Guangzhong, a pirate, is quite a bit of a famous British pirate, and the British Navy at the beginning is a British pirate.

Before I could comment, I heard another familiar girl's voice outside the door: "It should have been done this way, in my opinion, my father-in-law did the right thing, how about robbing a few ships?" These people have passed through the sea of our Ming Dynasty, should they have paid me some money to buy the road? As he spoke, Ling Yuruo had already strode into the lobby. Although her words sounded a bit of a bandit, but, in a sense, it was right, because from the modern maritime convention, Li Guangzhong could indeed check the passing ships in the territorial waters of the Ming Dynasty, but this kind of inventory was very, very, very strict.

Yurou didn't refute, just nodded her sister's brow with her hand and said: "I knew you would say that, protect your father-in-law every time, I think next time you are afraid that you will follow your father-in-law to the sea to rob ships!" ”

Ling Yuruo smiled lightly, then held Yurou's right hand with both hands, and said coquettishly: "I also want to accompany my father-in-law, so I also ask my sister to be accommodating!" ”

This little girl really wants to be a pirate, I smile bitterly, this girl is really, really take the robbery of ships as a play, although the navy of the Ming Dynasty at that time was a relatively powerful naval force in the Far East, but if you really encounter well-equipped European warships, you really can't tell who wins and who loses, although in terms of shipbuilding, China has some advantages, but in terms of shipborne artillery and naval warfare, compared to European warships, it has begun to lag behind, unless the current Ming Dynasty really has a giant warship like Zheng He's treasure ship, At that time, as long as a few Francophiles are put on it, it is estimated that the hull of the battleship alone will scare the Europeans to death, it is a super dreadnought battleship more than 100 meters long, you must know that the European warship of the same period is very terrifying after 50 meters. Although treasure ships are not warships in the end, since they can build such large ships, it seems that it is not a problem to build such large warships, but the Chinese have always been not interested in the sea, and they do not need to maintain trade routes and overseas colonies, so why build such a large warship? Offshore defense builds ocean-going warships, unless it is the officials of the Ming Dynasty whose brains are in the water.

"You can promise anything, but you can't agree to this, although Longwei's boat is indeed very safe, but how can you go there with a girl?" Yuruo ignored her pleas.

"Shall the guards be taken with them?" Yurou is obviously unwilling to give up this opportunity, it seems that she still likes the sea, and also, it seems that many girls like the sea.

"That's even worse, it's not that you don't know what the guard does, it's just that Daddy specially told me before leaving, and I want to ...... it in the future" She suddenly stared at me, and then patted Yurou's head and said: "In short, no is no good, you just give me an honest example of what Daddy said." ”

"If you want to do it, I don't want it!" I don't know what's going on, hearing this, Yu Ruo's face turned red in an instant, and then she glanced at me again, and a disgusted expression immediately appeared on her face: "Look at what to see, and then look at gouging out your eyes." ”

The good feeling that just arose because of her wonderful sea power theory was instantly shattered by this sentence, and if I have the slightest good impression of this girl in the future, I will buy a piece of tofu and hit it myself.

The two sisters began to talk about their parents, and I knew that there was a mansion in the Ling family in Dengzhou City, where the Ling family was training a group of private armed forces called guards, listening to the meaning of Yurou's words, this was probably a personal guard or something, I didn't know why I wanted to train this group of personal guards, and I didn't bother to inquire, so I sat lazily on the side, looking at the letter in my hand repeatedly, and my mind was thinking about a meeting with the Hongyi people later.

It should be a great meeting!
