Lost in the gossip of the boat of 1629178[VIP]

Thinking of each of their mistakes. ★ Aishang's novel network is updated quickly (╰→dushuge), and the novel is complete ★, and Fang Erren can only smile relatively bitterly.

On the mainland, it has always been believed that this group of people is just barbarians from outside. It's as stupid as the people of the West. Presumably, it must be easy to deceive - the coastal officials of the Ming Dynasty have repeatedly pretended to negotiate in the past. The captain and crew of the Western Yiren were deceived ashore and detained. There is no need to talk about faith with barbarians.

But now these two have understood - in front of a group of people. It's that he's more like a barbarian. Your every move. It's all in anticipation. All were suppressed in advance.

"It's okay, it's okay. These short hairs are quite polite. Gave us these few things. Otherwise, it's really hard to go back......"

Fang Wenzheng finally came back to his senses. I touched the big box at my feet. He wiped the cold sweat on his face again. He said with palpitations - he said a lot of big things when he went out first. What doesn't need the court to move a single soldier. I will definitely be able to let Duan Mao surrender by himself...... The petty officials who have been depressed for a long time finally have a chance. Definitely bragging.

The end result, however, is that he can go from short to any promise. Don't say that you have surrendered. Even all the terms on that instrument. People even agreed to one - the other party didn't admit that he was a rebel at all. They spent more than two months here in vain......

If you just slip back empty-handed. Even if the Governor does not condemn him. In the future, I don't want to raise my head among my colleagues. I'm afraid the road will be very bleak...... Thankfully, Shorthair is knowledgeable. I gave them a rare tribute, and when I got back, I was able to have something missing. If you're lucky. This treasure really ticked the old man's appetite. Come to a dragon face and delight something. Maybe it can go up a liter......

Seeing Fang Wen Zhengju, he could still laugh. Zhou Sheng shook his head helplessly...... It seems that it is not without merit to be simpler. At least you can always keep yourself in a good mood, right?

Zhou Sheng's own situation is also very similar to Fang Wenzheng. Although he originally planned two missions: to connect with the spies sent by the Jinyi Guard. and the connection with the officials in the short-haired government who were still loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Neither of these could be achieved - he had little chance to go out, and occasionally he was able to do so under open and strict surveillance. But the light is seen on the last day of a qiē. It was enough for him to write a report that would satisfy his boss.

However, Zhou Sheng was not satisfied with this: he wanted to know the information. The other party didn't let him know at all; And what he knows is a qiē although there is some value. But it was all revealed by the other party on his own initiative - he was completely accused by others! As an intelligence officer. It's a very bad feeling.

Looking back and thinking about his own people, Zhou Sheng carefully recalled the words and deeds of their group of people in the past two months. Especially some of the things that Shorthair had said when they talked...... In the end, I was very depressed to discover. I'm afraid they know a qiē. Shorthair knows it all – if only they were a little more careful.

But no one is to blame. I still leaked my mouth unintentionally. How many of those people can keep their mouths shut? Not to mention the Pacification Division's group of literati who can only talk big. I'm afraid that even my wife wears what color pants. The other party has already figured it out......

"It's a failure. What a failure! ”

Seeing that Zhou Sheng's face was suddenly full of frustration, although Fang Wen didn't understand his method very well. But he still stepped forward and comforted:

"Brother Zhou. Why bother, didn't Shorthair also say: Not this time. Can we continue to talk about it now? Success or failure. That's the stuff of the adults up there. Let's not run errands. Now it seems that those short hairs are reasonable. There is no danger in coming back later. Run a few more times. Grab some small gifts. Isn't that nice......"

This sentence amused Zhou Sheng:

"How. Brother Yazhai, are you still giving us just a gift with short hair? ”

"Ah...... What is this not a gift? I watched them box it up with my own eyes. Did they drop the bag? ”

Fang Wenzheng was puzzled at first. Then there was a lot of nervousness - this was to be sent to the west of the palace. In case there's something wrong inside. That's a head-scratching thing.

For this companion's fuss at every turn. Zhou Sheng has been used to it for so long. He stopped him from prying open the box for inspection. Shaking his head, he said:

"The gift itself is fine, but what I mean is: Shorthair gives us these few things. Each one has a meaning... I just thought of it. ”

I know that the other party will definitely not listen1. Zhou Sheng's fingers successively pointed at the two small wooden boxes on the table, and the big brocade boxes on the bed. And the wooden box at the foot of the little bit of it. Said slowly:

"First of all, this is the smallest. Brother Ya Zhai. You feel that the short hair is made of these things. and made by our craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty. What's the difference? ”

Fang Wenzheng didn't want to think about it, so he said: "Exquisite." Very delicate......" after a little consideration. He added:

"Practical. All of them are solid. These gifts are included. None of them are mere ornaments. All of them are extremely practical. Although I have a skilled craftsman. They can make ornaments that are ten times more complicated than theirs. But that's just decoration. Nothing practical......"

Nodding. This dude is not hopeless after all.

"Not bad. Compact and practical – it's as simple as a small box. It is only used for things that need to be trimmed. They can still do it so delicately...... And what about the weapons used to kill people? ”

Fang Wenzheng. But Zhou Sheng was already full of envy:

"Just now at the feast. I saw them with a short knife. It's also exquisitely made. There are a few odd shapes. I've just figured out what it's for...... This is true of swords that have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Do you need to talk about guns and artillery and the like? ”

Reach out and pat it on the small wooden box. Zhou Sheng smiled bitterly:

"Before I came, I had heard that shorthair's firearms were extremely sharp. But the princes of the imperial court. I thought it was just a rumor in the market. Or exaggerated. But this little thing. But Shorthair is reminding us that rumors are not false. They can make products that are far superior to those of my Ming craftsmen. And that includes firearms, of course! ”

"Ah......h

Fang Wenzheng sat down in shock, but Zhou pointed to the brocade box on the bed:

"As for these two bottles. Nature has its subtleties. Brother Ya Zhai. Is it possible to see it? ”

See Zhou Sheng selling Guanzi. Fang Wenzheng, who has always regarded himself as a great talent, is not to be outdone. He opened the brocade box. I took something out of it and looked through it carefully for a long time. I didn't dare to open the seal and taste the wine. It's all touched. Finally, he hesitated:

"Yes, it's like a fanfa. But it's nothing special...... Oh, it's so much better than Hongyi's stuff. ”

This Fang Dazi finally has some self-knowledge now. I don't have much confidence in guessing. But Zhou Sheng clapped his hands. Nodding and smiling:

"Brother Yazhai is right—this glass goblet is the style of the West Fan Hongyi, and I have seen one in the Governor's Palace. It is said to be worth a thousand gold. But no matter how big or small. Glossy and transparent. Or beautifully rounded. are nowhere near as good as the four cups in this box. ”

"Worth a thousand gold? Only two? Wouldn't it be even more ...... to have the first four cups and two large bottles here? Will the Governor take it--this is what if I give a copy of the Imperial Shrine...? ”

Fang Wenzheng made a fuss again. It's one thing to collect a "little souvenir" with short hair. Something worth a thousand dollars...... Although the thing is not for them. But in case the governor is ginseng. These people who handle them will definitely not have any fruit to eat - this is the Ming officialdom. It's hard to mix.

But Zhou Sheng didn't care - just kidding. They have caught a lot of embezzlers, and they have a clear grasp of the middle measure.

"That's the clever thing about Shorthair—they only give the Doge two bottles of wine. Of course, this wine should be served in a glass bottle - and a few glasses are also a matter of course. All the Governor took was wine. Others are only included. It's an elegant thing. Even the most picky imperial history can't make a fuss...... But that's not what I'm going to say......"

Zhou Sheng picked up a cup. It was held up in front of Fang Wenzheng. Said solemnly:

"It's a saffron thing. Shorthair can do better than them - Yiren is not as good as shorthair! If the imperial court still wants to use Western things to deal with them. It must be useless – that's what they mean in these two bottles. It's a sue to the court. ”

-- All the people in the officialdom of Guangzhou know that they were worried about whether to send troops to exterminate the bandits who occupied Lingao County. There was still some debate. Later, it was the reason why several adults, including the governor and the political envoy, made up their minds. It was Hongyi who promised to lend them a big gun.

As a result, the battle came down. Those imposing-looking musket cannons were of no use at all. The 5,000 men and horses of the imperial court were all wiped out. It is said that the people were short and casually packed up a few authentic Western-style boats that came from behind and wanted to take advantage. Capture a "giant boat". Captured a large number of Yiren prisoners of war...... At that time, Cheng Yegao of Linkochi County also wrote a special report document and sent it. But this side does not believe it at all.

But now the group of people on board must be the same - the big guy docked next to them when they boarded the boat at White Sands Pier earlier. These two lucky ships are not small. But the shadow of the bow alone on the opposite side completely obscured them. Such a strong contrast is certainly impressive.

And what the people here saw at the time: running around in that boat. Do all kinds of chores. To say the least, half of them are Westerners. And to dictate to them. Most of the people who gave the orders were black-haired Chinese. This kind of scene is absolutely impossible to see in ports such as Canton - shorthair does have the ability to serve people.

Listen to Zhou Sheng's analysis. Fang Wenzheng was sweating. He never expected it from these few ordinary-looking gifts. You can see so many doorways...... No wonder he was born on the right path in the imperial examination. After more than ten years, he can only be a seven-grade petty official. And the other party has grown by leaps and bounds in just a few years. From one cloth cloth to 5,000 households...... This person really can't compare with people.

But his eyes were on the largest box. Ask immediately

"What about this one? This tribute to the emperor. What does it mean? ”

"What ...... this?"

Tap the wooden box. There was a bit of admiration on his face:

"It's just a ploy. I don't know who in that group came up with it. What a brilliant delaying tactic......"
