Chapter 235: Wine

Early the next morning, Li Guo cleaned up and was about to go to find Taline, but Tarina came.

After all, a girl who has just come of age is very curious about new things that she doesn't know. The ancient kingdom of China, which has been thousands of years old, is not far from Malacca, and all kinds of strange legends and apotheosis stories attract Tarina.

At that time, many ancient Chinese books already had overseas copies, although most of them were translated by the Japanese and read as treasures, and there were also many translations of Portuguese. It also includes the Romance of the Gods, Journey to the West, and so on. Storytelling, interesting, and literary are naturally much more appealing than the dry cultures of the East and the West.

As a result, the stories strongly attracted Talina, who was only eighteen years old, and made Talina's interest in the ancient country of the East reach a very high height.

Because Li Guo's statement is that he can only stay here for a few days, Tarina came to Li Guo very early to discern the truth of the story again, although Tarina herself knows that those are all myths, which should be regarded as a child's heart. There are a lot of questions for Tarina, just like the monkey who can turn 108,000 miles on his head, and the Tang monk who eats a piece of his meat and lives forever, each story haunts Tarina's dreams.

&n.; In fact, Journey to the West was banned in the Ming Dynasty at that time. Although it is not allowed to be distributed in China, some good people have translated the book into a simple version, including Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese, and Tarina saw that it was the Portuguese version. This is in line with the original phrase of the original plane, if something is forbidden, it will increase its popularity.

And. There are also many Chinese people passing by Malacca, why did Tarina look for Li Guo alone? It is because Li Guo is a great official of the Ming Dynasty in their eyes, the only Ming Dynasty official who has arrived in Malacca in these years. What Li Guo said is legally rational. Of course, this was due to the propaganda of Viscount Lida, which made the Portuguese in Malacca consider Li Guo not only to be authoritative, but also to be more knowledgeable. Of course, Lida wants to hype Li Guo, if Li Guo is a humble figure, then the viscount title that Li Guo gave him will be even more humble.

Along with Tarina was her uncle Caroli, as Li Guo had said yesterday. To go for a walk throughout the Malacca port and enjoy the beautiful view of the whole of Malacca. Carrolley and others will serve as escorts. There are a lot of people around Li Guo who visit together, except for Lida, who is a Portuguese. There are also Nie Xin, Gu Ying and Luo Hu.

In addition, hundreds of shrewd and capable middle and lower class leaders will accompany the tour, and they will carefully survey the situation in the port of Malacca, among the many people. Only these few hundred people knew about Li Guo's plan of action.

Thereupon. The group began to browse around.

Because there were too many people, Li Guo pointed to the people behind him and said, "You don't have to follow me all the time, this is not a battlefield, are you still afraid that I will be attacked?" ”

Caroli also smiled, so he sent someone to lead the personnel led by Gu Ying and Luo Hu at the request of Li Guo, divided into several teams, and wandered around the harbor in Malacca.

Within two days. Even the Portuguese warships were visited.

Li Guo is with Talena, Caroli, Lida, Nie Xin, Zhao Dagou, Wang Dabangzi and others.

Li Guo did not deliberately observe the surrounding situation. He was just fooling, and the Chinese stories that Tarina cared about made Li Guo's flickering useful.

Are the events in Journey to the West real? Tarina asked.

Absolutely true! This is the story of Xuanzang, a great monk of the Tang Dynasty! Li Guo's eyes widened, and what he said was true.

Is there really such a place in the Flaming Mountain? Tarina asked.

Yes, but now that the fire is extinguished, the temperature is still very high, if you don't believe me, you can go with me, Li Guo replied. The Flame Mountain in the northwest is stored zĂ i.

Anyway, as long as Talina asks, Li Guo can round the conversation, and for a while, the clouds and mountains are covered with fog, and the real and fake nonsense is angry, but Talina who listens to it is relished and dumbfounded. Even Carory and Lida on the side were in a trance by Li Guo's words.

Only Nie Xin was amused in his heart. However, since Li Guo was in charge of fooling, Nie Xin, Zhao Dagou, and Wang Da Stick looked around at a few pairs of thief eyes, saw the surrounding situation clearly, and even inquired and asked to understand.

Therefore, in the afternoon of the next day, Li Guo held a meeting in his military camp, and the personnel were those generals and big and small leaders who knew the inside story. They had to plan things out, because the evening was Tarina's coming-of-age party, and that must be when the Portuguese were most unprepared.

In fact, Li Guo overestimated his opponent.

Before the start of the party, Gu Ying, Ma Shiyao, Hai Yong and others had already ordered each leader to take several teams and rush to the places they wanted to capture, including the eight warships of the Portuguese, and Li Guo's ordinary soldiers also knew Li Guo's plan before setting off.

Li Guo's party was blatantly on the Portuguese ships, and some went to the fortresses of the port, and they did not act sneakily, but above board.

Li Guo's people and Carlos's troops did so in the form of a fraternity, and were endorsed by Carlos, the governor of Malacca.

Governor Carlos had hoped that he and Li Guo would be able to form a close alliance, and that the fraternity of the lower soldiers could increase the mutual trust between the two sides.

Carlos heard from his close friend, the former Viscount of Litda, that Li Guo was a very gentleman and a very generous person. Although on the battlefield, Li Guo is a fierce man, he is undoubtedly also a kind person. Otherwise, how could Li Guo have owned the Portuguese warship in Macao by way of purchase? How could it be possible to properly settle the Portuguese soldiers in Macao? Therefore, in the praise of Viscount Lida, Carlos had enough trust in Li Guo.

Carlos, of course, would not sell any of his ships, because he was not in a quandary like the Portuguese in Macau, who was just looking for allies. Of course, this is also the helpless move of Carlos, who is homeless and has no country to report.

And the soldiers of Li Guo, who went everywhere, brought with them a thing they brought from Guangxi, liquor!

Eastern sake is very different from Western liquor, not only the production process, taste, but also the cultural differences of liquor.

Huaxia is the kingdom of wine. The variety of wine and the abundance of production are the best in the world. Huaxia is a happy land for wine lovers, the region is not divided into north and south, the personnel are not divided into men and women, and the style of drinking has lasted for thousands of years.

In China, wine is often used as a tool, as the saying goes, there is no banquet without wine, and there is even a saying that if you have wine without food, it is not a slow treat. Moreover, in the development of wine culture, persuading wine has naturally become an instinct. At the wine table, everyone will persuade to drink, even the stupid person will raise the wine glass and say, done!

However, the wine of the East is white wine, which is a spirit. Western wines are mainly made from grapes, which belong to the category of fruit wines, and the degree and aftertaste should not be strong. Therefore, both Easterners and Westerners like their own wines and do not prefer each other's wines.

But there is one thing, first there has to be wine.

Although these Portuguese were stationed in Malacca and the economic situation was decent, even now that Portugal was not annexed by Spain, the average Portuguese garrison rarely drank alcohol. In fact, Li Guo's troops were not allowed to drink alcohol.

However, these Portuguese people have left their homeland and lived a boring life, and their thoughts about wine are beyond Li Guo's thoughts.

Despite the fierce and fierce wine of the East! But Oriental wine has one thing that all wines have in common, that is, you can get drunk if you drink too much! As the saying goes, a drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, which is the truest portrayal of the Portuguese stationed in Malacca at this time. These Portuguese, who have lost their country, are like abandoned children, and only alcohol can numb their nerves and make them forget their troubles for a while.

Li Guo needs these Portuguese to get drunk, although the armed seizure of this place is also the last helpless choice, but the bloodless occupation can be the most rewarding.

Therefore, when a large amount of liquor was brought everywhere by Li Guo's soldiers, and the various leaders and soldiers were ready to persuade the Portuguese to drink, they were surprised to find that there was no need to persuade them! The Portuguese themselves rushed to drink.

Of course, this is also because of today's evening party of Talena, chartered by Governor Carlos. Carlos also wants everyone to relax.

So, things are much simpler.

Li Guo's soldiers took small sips of wine as they watched the Portuguese pour wine into their mouths. Seeing the Portuguese soldiers drinking and shouting one by one, everyone was relieved.

Li Guo's soldiers didn't do anything, they were still trying to drink. What's more, they were waiting, because the Doge's Palace would set off fireworks in the middle of the night, and when the fireworks were lit, it was time for them to act.

At this time, in the Governor's Palace in Malacca, the party reached a climax. (To be continued......)
