Chapter 11: Leaving the Tiger's Den
Although Dai Lisi said that she was leaving, she walked very slowly, and she stopped, just wanting Zhang Biwu to beg her, but she didn't want to leave. In the end, Zhang Biwu ignored Dai Lisi, and Dai Lisi had to leave angrily.
Zhang Biwu sighed, his heart was like fifteen buckets, was his decision correct? At the beginning, he only thought that it was about the national system and the honor of the country, he could only leave his personal safety behind, don't look at Zhang Biwu who said that he could go back alive so surely, but he was really not sure whether he could go back alive.
Early the next morning, "Bring Zhang Biwu out!" Not long after, there was a roar, and it was a guard with a gun, and they couldn't help but bring Zhang Biwu out.
Zhang Biwu was taken to the deck, and when he saw that there was a hanger on the guillotine, foreigners liked to kill people with a severed head, or hanging.
When Zhang Biwu saw all this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, he thought to himself: "Do I have to die here?" Alas! Am I wrong? Weddell didn't dare kill me, but now he's going to kill me! Am I wrong? He looked at the hanger and the guillotine, and he couldn't help but swallow a large mouthful of saliva, and his heart felt like he had fallen from a great height.
His face was jumping, and he was unwilling, because he had to die before his talents were fully displayed. The important thing is that there were no generals in the Ming army, and he still had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of resisting the Manchus.
However, Zhang Biwu thought about it, if his death could disgrace Britain, and make Portugal, the Netherlands and other foreign countries happy and convinced of China, so that there was no major event in the southern sea frontier, it would be a good thing.
And if his heroic deeds can be spread in the Ming army, so that the soldiers of the Ming army can rise up bravely, sweep away the decline of the Ming army, and restore the previous brave army, then his death will be worth it. But Zhang Biwu regrets it, he really doesn't want to die, he wants to make contributions, he wants to return to Qin Huaiyu!
When Zhang Biwu thought of this, he was at ease, since it was a death, instead of cowering, it was better to die generously!
Zhang Biwu looked up at the sky, the sun was shining, it was also a suitable time for the death penalty, Zhang Biwu didn't say a word, he came to the guillotine, and said, "Come on!" Kill if you want! Anyway, after you killed me, it showed your despicability and shamelessness, and you kept me in the name of a friend, but killed me, I think all the countries in the world will be laughed at by this! All right! That's all I say, kill! ”
Weddell turned to Zhang Biwu and asked, "Are you really not afraid of death?" Zhang Biwu replied: "I'm afraid! But I'm afraid what's the use! I looked away, shouldn't I die today? You can't blame anyone, just blame yourself for being blind! Misjudgment to think you won't kill me! If you're wrong, you'll have to pay for your mistakes! I thought you Weddell had a patriotic heart, but I didn't expect it! I overestimated you! ”
Zhang Biwu was thinking about this in his heart, in fact, he was sighing, he really wanted to live, he hadn't lived enough, he still wanted to see Huaiyu, and he wanted to continue to gallop on the battlefield, even if he died on the battlefield.
Weddell's face was jumping, and apparently he was very upset, and he sighed in his heart: "Alas! Zhang Biwu! I originally planned to make you lose face and disgrace you China! But you puff up your chest, which makes people have to respect! I can't be a villain anymore! I have to be generous! After all, Noretti and they're still watching! ”
"Smack!" Applause! "Hero!" Weddell gave a thumbs up, then said, "Mr. Noretti, did you see that?" I said that my friend Zhang Biwu is a hero! ”
As soon as his words fell, not only Noretti came out, but also a red-haired ghost. This red-haired ghost is the young general Lang Bi of Helan, who hovers over Taiwan. However, it can be seen that Lang Bi is Brother Li and does not respect Zhang Biwu very much, after all, he is also young and vigorous.
Fortunately, it was not Hans who built the city of Geranza to the East India Company. Putmans was not there, if he was there, he was beaten badly by Zheng Zhilong in the Battle of Liuluowan, as soon as he saw that there was another excellent general in the Ming army, he was not afraid of any face, and he had to kill this excellent general.
Weddell said, "All right! Biwu, I have prepared a feast for you, and I will eat it well, and then I will send you ashore! ”
Zhang Biwu generously ate a meal at Weddell's, and then said goodbye and left.
In the midst of this, Terry was puzzled and found Weddell and asked, "Commander-in-Chief, why do you want to let him go?" He has done so much harm to us, and he has insulted us, why didn't he kill him? I can't figure it out! ”
Weddell gave the reason: "Zhang Biwu said that he was a friend in front of so many people, so he stayed with me. If we kill him, we will lose face in the British Empire! If you send it back to Europe, it will be ridiculed by the nations! Then the king will blame him, and we will not be able to eat and walk around! And ......"
Weddell said in a low voice: "The Portuguese Noretti they wish we would kill Zhang Biwu immediately, they are afraid that China will have excellent generals, so they will not be able to trade with China, and they will have to be subject to the powerful Ming army." ”
"It seems that if the Ming army is not strong, they will be advantageous! We couldn't open up trade with China, and it was the Portuguese in Macao who got in the way. And why help Portugal and the Netherlands, etc.? Let them continue to comprehend the power of the Ming army! Be clear that Portugal and the Netherlands are a greater threat to us and Britain than China! Both of these powerful countries can threaten our British Empire! What we can't get, we can't let others get! ”
"This is beneficial to the country, and for me personally, I don't care about villains, Zhang Biwu has repeatedly insulted me, I can let him go! Won't people say I'm magnanimous? I wanted to kill Zhang Biwu, but I had to let him go! I think he must have thought of that too! But there was one thing he couldn't have imagined! ”
Terry is in a hurry, what is the point that Zhang Biwu can't think of? Is there a clever plan to kill Zhang Biwu? So Terry was eager to find out what Weddell had planned.
Weddell smiled sinisterly and said, "I still want to give it a try, if we can seize the last opportunity to open the door to trade with China, our hard work for more than a year has not been in vain!" After all, the profits of trade with China are amazing! Make people crazy! I don't want to give up such sweet cheese! I've got a plan! By doing so, I can make my plan work! And to take advantage of the Dutch! Hee-hee! ”
Terry didn't understand, what was his plan to let Zhang Biwu go? A look of disappointment appeared on his face, and he wished that his rival would disappear from this world as soon as possible!
Weddell put his hand on Terry's shoulder and said, "Young man! You still have a lot to learn! Wait and see! As soon as my plan succeeds, I will let the Ming Kingdom comprehend our power and make them submit! And my shame can be repaid as well! As soon as all countries hear that I have a clever plan to open the door to trade with China, my name of Weddell will spread far and wide! Ha Lu Ha! ”
Terry didn't dare to say anything when he heard it, so he had to obey all of Weddell's orders.
