Lida was pressed to the chair by Li Kang, sighed, and spoke. x.

It turned out that Lida returned to Europe at the promise of Li Guo, and he was very rich at this time, because Li Guo gave him 10,000 taels of silver.

It is easy to do things with money, so Lida also recruits all kinds of talents in the name of Viscount Lida, because Lida gives enough silver, so it is not difficult to recruit talents, so in a short period of time, there are already many people who have begun to sign up.

Moreover, Lida's slogan is also loud, do you want to get rich? Follow me to the East! Want to be a knight? Follow me to the East!

Thus, the name of Viscount Lida spread.

People want to be famous, pigs must be strong! Therefore, Lida was invited by many high-class people who held banquets!

Every time he attended a banquet, Lida would pin the large, viscount medal given to him by Li Guo in the most prominent position on his chest, which was very eye-catching.

Every time she went to a banquet and danced with some young and beautiful girls, Lida always held her head high and looked proud.

In fact, the viscount's title is not high, but Lida naturally has something to be proud of. Yes, there were dukes, marquises, and counts at the banquet, and the titles were all higher than Lida. But so what? Have you ever seen a knighthood given by an Oriental? I'm the first! Lida cares.

However, after all, the knightly medals created by the craftsmen of the Li Guo faction are very different from some knightly medals in Europe, which attracts the attention of many people.

So, an Englishman who was also a viscount was very curious and asked Lida about the origin of this medal.

Nalida was a sincere man and would not lie. also said it directly, saying that a general of the Ming Dynasty rewarded his viscount. You know, knighthood is a title in European monarchies. It refers to those who have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield or are rewarded by the king himself for some special significance, rather than casually being entitled to a knighthood by an individual.

The viscount laughed and said to Lida, "Your title is not divided by the emperor of the East?" So what kind of sir are you? I even doubt that anyone will divide you, this thing can be made by itself! ”

As a result, Lida made a big red face and even wanted to duel with the British viscount. But Lida thought about it. gave up, because after thinking about it calmly, Lida himself thought that his viscount was a little unjustifiable. A bit of a suspicion of counterfeiting.

Lida herself wondered, why was she so excited when she accepted the title of Viscount at that time?

When Lida accepted the title of Viscount Li Guo, he was fooled by Li Guo. At that time his mind was blind and unconscious. was attracted by a big cake drawn by Li Guo for him. That is to say, Li Guo had already convinced Lida at that time. Li Guo is very likely to become an emperor in the future, and the sooner he accepts the title, the higher his status will be in the future. At that time, Li Guo's passion was very high, and Lida's passion was also mobilized, so after that, Lida really thought that he was a veritable viscount.

"I will show you that I am the first person to be knighted by the Emperor of the East!" Lida said palely, turned around and left. There was a burst of laughter behind him.

Lida has no face to stay, but fortunately, all kinds of craftsmen have been recruited. Lida didn't stop for a moment and rushed back.

Arriving in Malacca, Lida resigned his friend, Carlos, the governor of Malacca, and rushed back, Lida decided to go to the capital immediately after Li Guo's task was completed, he wanted to see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to try his best to please Chongzhen, even if he spent all the money, it didn't matter, he just wanted a real title.

Although these false names are useless, they symbolize honor.

After listening to Lida's story, Li Guo laughed in his heart. This Lida is purely an elm head and a stubborn donkey! I'm full!

"Okay, you go to Beijing!" Looking at Lida, who had already stood up and was about to leave immediately, Li Guo said lightly, "But have you forgotten the lesson plan in Nanjing?" ”

Lida was stunned, of course he remembered. That happened in 1616, just over a dozen years later. Although the Nanjing case was only a dispute of religious doctrines and beliefs, the Ming Dynasty believed that Western religions were disrespectful to the Ming Emperor and Chinese culture and undermined the moral order of the Chinese.

But in general, this is a collision of Eastern and Western civilizations, and it is not just the missionaries who spread religion that exclude them, but the Westerners! Therefore, after the Nanjing teaching case, these Westerners may be expelled, and the life left behind is not easy.

"If you really want to enter Beijing, then you can go, I hope you can come back with your life!" Li Guo frightened, "You must know that the current Emperor Chongzhen kills people without blinking, you can inquire about how many officials he has killed." ”

Lida thought for a moment and sat down again.

"Not leaving?" Li Guo quipped.

"It's all because of you, it's all because of your so-called Viscount's medal, which made me lose face!" Lida yelled at Li Guo.

"Okay, rely on me. But what has happened? Forget it and help me become a qualified consultant. Li Guo persuaded.

"No! I'm going to be a real jazz. "Lida just doesn't get the hang of it.

Li Guo sneered, "Okay, if you want to be a real jazz, then you must help me!" ”

"Help, okay, I promise that I will be a good advisor, and I promise to train the sailors well for you." Lida's expression suddenly relaxed, "General Li, I understand what you mean, you are going to Emperor Ming to ask for a viscount to come back for me!" ”

Li Guo patted his head, I'll strangle it!

Li Guo was patient and said to Lida, "It's not like that, Lida, you help me train and recruit talents, you have to help me all the time to let you achieve your goal." Because, what if I become emperor? Am I really going to reward you as a viscount? ”

Lida has long understood now that what Li Guo said is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, and he is no longer fooled.

Li Guo looked at Lida's indifferent expression, and said with a smile, "If I become the emperor, I won't reward your viscount." ”

Lida snorted coldly.

"Lida, as long as you follow me wholeheartedly, if I become an emperor, how can I be so stingy? Not only will I reward you, but I will also reward you with a great title, and if you do a good job, I can even reward you with a duke. Li Guo began to paint cakes again.

Lida's heart moved, but then he said to himself in his heart, don't believe it, don't believe it, what Li Guo said is not accurate.

Li saw through Lida's mind too early, "I know you don't believe it, but you can inquire about what my current strength is, how much territory I occupied during the time you left, and how much victory I fought!" All my men are convinced that I will become a monarch! You can believe it or not, or you don't want the Duke's title, whatever you want! ”

After Li Guo finished speaking, he ignored Lida.

After saying that, Delida's heart came alive again. Now that the Ming Dynasty is in civil strife, this also guarantees that Li Guo can become the emperor, if so, he may really be a duke.

"If you become emperor, can you guarantee me to be a duke?" Lida asked.

Li Guo shook his head, "No, because I want to see how much credit you have given me." ”

"Master Hu, don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you!" Lida began to respect Li Guo's title again.

Li Guo laughed secretly in his heart, because it wasn't long before he could use Lida. (To be continued......)
