Volume 2 Nanyang Chapter 291 Xu Song in Malacca
Chapter 291: Xu Song in Malacca
As the most eastern stronghold of the Portuguese, Malacca's scenery is different from other places.
As a common business method, Xu Song has seen a lot, although he is worried about Dongyong's affairs, he still shows an unhurried attitude and wanders around the city of Malacca.
Of course, there are blonde and blue-eyed Westerners in Malacca, but more of them are Nanyang natives, strange Nanyang natives, most of whom are low and dark-skinned.
There are a lot of Yanmar here, but the smell on their bodies is really unappetizing.
Westerners regard bathing as a fear and sin, so they like to use perfume to suppress the smell rather than taking a bath, and for Xu Song, he can't accept such a person at all.
Xu Song put his mind on the task assigned by Zhu Houhuang, and he secretly thought in his heart: "How can I know what the relationship between Franco Ji and Sulu and Champa is?" ”
Xu Song couldn't ask Franc Jiren directly, for fear that it would cause unnecessary problems. But if you don't ask the Franc man, how can you detect the attitude of the Franc man?
Xu Song traveled around the city of Malacca, looking at the casual tour, but in fact, he has been thinking about this problem in his heart.
Suddenly, a guard behind Xu Song said, "My lord, someone is following behind you." ”
Xu Song's eyes froze, he didn't look back, and said, "How many people are there, how are they?" ”
The guard said, "There is only one old man, who looks to be old and decayed, and he has no skills. ”
Xu Song said: "Find a remote place and stop him." ”
"Yes."
Xu Song and the two guards walked faster, and after a while, they turned into a small alley.
Two guards clamped the old man, one on the left and one on the right.
Xu Song said sharply: "Who are you?" Why are you following me? ”
The old man fell to his knees with a thud and said, "The minister has seen an angel. ”
Xu Song frowned and said, "Are you?" ”
"Under is the Minister of the Kingdom of Manchuria. And ask the angel to save me from the land of Assassination. "The old man kowtows like pounding garlic. Bang a few times, blood on the forehead.
Xu Song frowned, the matter of rescuing the Manchu Thorn and the country has long been decided, even Zhengde cannot be changed, Xu Song is just a small official, not even an official of the imperial court, but just a royal official. What power can decide such a big thing?
Xu Song is trying to find a way to get rid of it. Suddenly, Xu Song thought, I want to know what the relationship between the Franco machine people is between Sulu and the Champ, and I don't need to ask the Franco man, but I can also ask Sulu and the Champa people, and the person in front of me is his important medium.
Xu Song's face suddenly changed for the better, and he said, "Old gentleman, please get up." The Franc machine man has repeatedly offended the Celestial Empire, and my Royal Highness has long wanted to get rid of the Franc man, but the Franc machine man has a sharp water battle, and the Ming Sailor has not used it for a hundred years, and it is long gone, but you don't have to worry, as long as I think about it, isn't it the sailor? Within three or five years, it can be built, and when the time comes, it will be a showdown with the Franco machine, and when the time comes, the Franco machine man is definitely not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, it will definitely make the full thorn and restore the country. ”
The old man hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you angels, thank you angels." ”
Xu Song looked left and right, although it was a small alley, but outside was the street, and there were many people walking around on the street, which was not a safe place.
Xu Song said: "This is not the place to talk, go." ”
Xu Song and the guards immediately returned to the dock with the old man and got on the boat.
After the boat was long, Xu Song breathed a sigh of relief, and then he talked to the former senior officials of the Canadian country and talked about the actions of this generation of countries.
The relationship between Cham and the Franc Mechanic is not too bad, and the Franc Mechanic has trade with Vietnam and the two countries of Champ.
However, Sulu is different, Sulu is extremely stubborn, because the Franco-Robot is not Huihui, and he fought against the Huihui country and destroyed Manchuga. This made Sulu very angry, so Sulu's relationship with Malacca was quite stiff.
Xu Song said secretly in his heart: "I finally have first-hand information." ”
As for the situation in Sulu, the words of this former minister of Manchu Jia are somewhat true. But once you have the cut-in, the rest is easy to say.
Although this former minister of Manchurian Jia is extremely down, his previous relationship is still there, and he has a relationship with each country in Nanyang. After this relationship, some news is much easier to inquire about.
"My lord, a post from the Franc man." A guard came to Xu Song and said.
Xu Song was stunned, although he understood, and said secretly: "I didn't expect that today's actions also had a positive effect." ”
Of course he can figure it out, how big is the whole city of Malacca?
There are about 10,000 people in Malacca, including old and weak women and children. In addition to the Nanyang natives here, there are only tens of thousands.
The city of tens of thousands of people is actually not big, and it can be said that Xu Song's every move is under the supervision of the Franco.
Xu Song had just brought over an old man, and the identity of this old man had already been investigated by them at night, so they were a little anxious.
Xu Song swaggered over.
It was still Tomei who greeted her outside the door, and the two exchanged a few words of greeting. Welcome Xu Song in.
After a few people sat down, it was Tomei who asked first, "What is Mr. doing these days?" ”
Xu Song said: "I'm looking for customers. ”
"Looking for what customers?" Tomei asked urgently.
Xu Song sneered and said, "Why does this gentleman want to interrogate me?" But I have to say to people, I am looking for a customer in Malacca City, that is, you don't want to do a deal, I have to find a new buyer? ”
Tomei's face turned cold, and he looked at the Governor of Malacca, and the Governor's expression became stern. What is Xu Song's deal, how could they not know? It's artillery.
And who did Xu Song come into contact with yesterday, full of thorns and remnants. Who Xu Song wants to trade artillery with has already been determined. The thought of this result worries Tomei and the others.
Tomei naturally knew that they had come here from the West, and although they had brought civilization and order, they also knew what they had brought with them.
If they trade artillery from Yongguo, these cannons will not bring them ruin, but they will definitely cause them a lot of trouble.
Xu Song said: "Anyway, artillery must be bought, if you don't want it, someone will want it." ”
Tomei whispered a few words to the governor of Malacca, and Tomei said with a gloomy face, "What do you want to do?" Go ahead. ”
Xu Song said: "It's very simple, what I want, you should know." ”
Tomei was not used to the dumb riddle of the Chinese and said, "Well, I hope that the Yongguo can give up its support for the natives of Nanyang." In the same way, we acquiesce to the entry of the Yongguo fleet into the waters north of Malacca, however, the Yongguo ships are not allowed to cross the Strait of Malacca. ”
Xu Song said: "This alone is not enough. As a businessman, Xu Song's ability to observe words and emotions has never been wrong, and they saw that Tomei's face was wrong, so they immediately started to bargain.
After a period of bickering between Xu Song and Tomei, the two sides reached an agreement, and the two sides divided the sea from Malacca to Penghu equally, as a buffer zone for both sides, and both sides had the right to move freely. However, if the fleets of both sides want to get close to Malacca and within two hundred miles of Penghu, they need to inform each other, otherwise they will be regarded as provocations.
In this sea area, the two sides should be consistent, and even if there is no conflict of interest, it should be put aside and discussed at the top of the two sides.
Under Xu Song's efforts, one by one, they are biased towards the edge of Yongguo.
After Xu Song went out, he let out a long breath. He secretly said in his heart: "Hey, this time I will not fail in my mission." "With this agreement, there will be no obstacle for the envoys of Yongguo to enter the South Seas.
As for what the Franc said about not allowing him to come into contact with the Manchurian remnant, and to hand over the former minister of the Manchurian Remnant. Xu Song agreed without hesitation.
Politics is so cruel that the interests of the big countries always come at the expense of the interests of the small ones. As for what will happen to this former minister who falls into the hands of the Franco, Xu Song never thought about it, and he didn't have to think about it.
Anyway, he understands Zhu Houhuang's thoughts, and Nanyang's return has never been in the heart of His Royal Highness King Yong.
