Chapter 59: Overseas Visitors (2)
Captain Simao, who had been involved in the business and pirate industry for many years, had always boasted of his credibility and affection, claiming that he had never betrayed any of his friends. Of course, all the people he betrayed have disappeared from the world, and his words cannot be miscalculated.
As for this incident, Captain Simão had even more good reasons. "Betraying a friend? This is a shameless slander and a damage to my reputation. I just answered a few questions from the officials of the Ming Empire, said the name of an island, and improvised a chart, and did nothing else. I didn't betray anyone, and I can swear to God about that. ”
Li Yanqing listened to his description, but the more he paid attention to it. "You mean, there are nearly three hundred of them? What self-proclaimed pioneer of boiling, human hope? Fancy dress, short, with a special accent. There are still some strange utensils on the body, in short, everywhere is weird? ”
"That's right, that's right. They should be called God's people, geniuses capable of performing miracles. This salt and sugar are their fruits. Of course, they also need to trade grain with us, and they don't seem to have ships, so I don't know how they got to the island. ”
"Well, that's not going to be mentioned for now. How well are these people armed? Don't sue me, you are a kind angel, and even if the other party is not armed, you will not harm them. If this is the case, I must consider a different partner, a Virgin who is suitable to stay in a convent and not to be a tribune in Macau. ”
"Armament, they have three hundred men. In addition to a small number of women, there were more than 200 male citizens, and at the same time more than 100 strong homeless people were recruited, which is a very considerable number.
And they had their own weapons workshops, making quick guns called flints. According to Brillo, the power of that gun is higher than that of our arquebus. They also bought an artillery gun from me, but the caliber is small and not very threatening. ”
"Yes, very. I tell you Siman, do you know what kind of details these people are? ”
"The Ming Dynasty has something to say, and those who don't know it are not to blame, so I definitely don't know who they are."
"You Yiren are really dishonest to the extreme, I can't control you, sooner or later, let Governor Lin personally clean up your Yiren, and let you know how powerful my Daming Mansion is."
"Your Excellency, if you can allow my Portuguese to enter Guangzhou and personally accept the leadership of Governor Lin, I am willing to send a small volunteer force to make contributions to the cause of helping the Ming Dynasty sweep away piracy."
"Then don't mention it, you arrange a boat first and take me to this Dragon King Island once. I'm going to go to the field and see for myself, what kind of road these people are. ”
The Portuguese have been in close contact with these short-haired thieves recently, and it is not a problem to take Li Yanqing on a trip. Ximang ordered to go down to prepare the boat, but Li Yanqing didn't even bring Qin Ruizhu, but followed the speedboat to Longwang Island by himself.
As soon as the ship arrived on this day, I heard the rumbling of gunfire on the island. Simão said: "This is the island's Lianzhu gun, which is infinitely powerful. The range and power are above our muskets, and it is indeed a powerful weapon. ”
After everyone got off the boat, they saw that a team of men and horses had already come up. For the person with a flat head, a military uniform but I don't know where to buy the World War II Wehrmacht uniform, saw Simang first gave a military salute, and then stretched out his hand "Nanhai dish boiled Wang Ping, commander-in-chief of the 6th Army of the United States, greetings to Mr. Simang." ”
Everyone had seen each other, Wang Ping led the way, and said proudly: "Look, this is the first army of the United States of the South China Sea that I brought out, and we call it the Iron Cavalry. Twenty days ago, these people were just ordinary farmers, and now they are qualified soldiers. ”
I saw more than 100 young and middle-aged men, each holding a spear, raising their guns to shoot under the orders of the instructor, and the smoke of the shooting was filled.
"This is our flintlock, far more powerful than the arquebus. A single volley of fire from these people can be compared to about three to five hundred ordinary musketeers, and this is the power of technology. And their morale is guaranteed not by military salaries and land, but by boiling, the greatest system. Let them have the honor of being a soldier and know what they are fighting for. Each of them can participate in the election collar, and that is the source of victory. Mr. Simao, how's it going? Consider our requirements and join us. With your fleet, with our 6th Army, the southeast region of the Ming Dynasty is at our fingertips. ”
Simang peeked at it, and saw that Li Yanqing was expressionless, and secretly cursed this bastard in his heart, and said haha in his mouth, noncommittal. Li Yanqing asked: "This Commander Wang, I have a question, why do I only see the guns and not the swords in your troops?" ”
Wang Ping only thought that Li Yanqing was the new comprador of the Portuguese, but he did not guard against him. "This is where we are advanced, the era of cold weapons has passed, and the future belongs to flints. As long as they shoot the enemy, they will collapse, there will be no hand-to-hand combat at all, what is the use of cold weapons? Besides, we actually equipped them with melee weapons, bayonets! You don't understand this, it's just a sharp short knife, close to wartime, stick the knife into the barrel, and you can use it. With these two weapons, we can win every battle and never lose. ”
He led the way and led them all to a great cave. This cave is half natural and half artificial, but it is very wide, only to see inside and outside the cave, even men and women, gathered hundreds of people, all of them are human heads at a glance. The height is different, and the beauty is different. Seeing that they were all dressed in modern clothes, stockings and short skirts, they finally appeared in front of Li Yanqing's eyes again.
"Hello Simão." A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked over and shook Simao's hand cordially. Simon was a little unfamiliar: "You...... You are? ”
"I'm Gao Yuan, you don't know me anymore? Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the new Minister of Commerce of the United States of China Sea, and I will be responsible for the trade between you and me from now on. ”
"But the last time I came, you received me ...... Mingming"
"You said that Zhao Xiaoguang, who received you last time, lost yesterday's election, and now I have taken over as Minister of Commerce. Our current president is President Li Wuze. ”
I saw a middle-aged man come over and politely stretched out his hand, "I am Li Wuze, and I am also the president of the United States of the South China Sea, distinguished guest, welcome to you." The friendly and commercial relations between our two countries must not be undermined. Today happens to be the first Great Council since the establishment of our conquest, and I hope you will be in attendance to get a feel for the greatness of the dishes. ”
"I'm honored." Simang saluted, and Li Yanqing was led by a few people, came to the side and sat down, and was considered to be present there.
Li Wu returned to his seat and clapped his hands, "Silence, silence." The third conquest of our United States of the South China Sea, the first working meeting, begins now. The topic of this meeting was how to overthrow the backward rule of the Ming Dynasty by force and how to establish our ideal country. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Wang Ping suddenly stood up, "Li Wuze!" To talk about this, you are not qualified enough. You first have to explain how you became president. I suspect that you are suspected of bribery. ”
