Chapter 344: The Foreigner Who Kowtowed

Wu Shigong returned to his camp when it was close to dinner. The camp set up by the Henan Army was a little far away from the Chinese army where Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were located, and they had to pass through the camps of several friendly armies.

The closest to the Henan Army is, of course, Liu Zeqing's Shandong Army. I haven't seen each other for a while, and the two are quite affectionate after they meet. Liu Zeqing grabbed Wu Shigong and wanted to drink and chat together. Wu Shigong also readily agreed, anyway, it is not in a hurry to send these eunuchs in Dengzhou City, it is better to have a good chat with Liu Zeqing here.

But what surprised Wu Shigong was that when Liu Zeqing knew that Wu Shigong was going to send the eunuchs rescued in Dengzhou City, he immediately left Wu Shigong and received them courteously.

However, Wu Shigong watched Liu Zeqing mingle between these people with a calm expression, and couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach. It's not that I am disgusted with Liu Zeqing's approach, but I am deeply impressed by Liu Zeqing's strong sense of smell and nerves.

After he was full of wine and food, Wu Shigong passed through several friendly camps, and arrived at the Chinese army where Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were late, and asked to see these two adults.

And these days, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian are also worried. Although the battle to encircle and suppress Kong Youde's rebels was very smooth, but now they are caught in a long-term siege war, plus they learned from their respective relationships that Emperor Chongzhen was a little dissatisfied with spending too much military salary, so Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian always wanted to send some good news to Emperor Chongzhen to calm their hearts.

Therefore, when Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian learned that Wu Shigong had rescued the eunuchs in Dengzhou City, they were immediately overjoyed, and by the way, they also changed some views on Wu Shigong and had some good feelings. So it was immediately rumored that Wu Shigong took those people into the Chinese military tent to visit.

The two adults' qi cultivation skills are really good, and they are also calm under the influence of strange smells. And I am also interested in asking about the process of Wu Shigong's rescue.

Of course, Wu Shigong will not admit that he invented the curve artillery bombardment. He began to run the train with his mouth full of words: shoot propaganda leaflets into the city of Dengzhou. After that, the traitor was taken by the prestige of the king's master, and felt the power of education, and wept bitterly and shouted that he wanted to give these eunuchs to Wu Shigong.

Regarding Wu Shigong's bragging, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian are of course well aware. But they didn't debunk it at all. What about weishenme? Is that because it's not a very haode material? The use of indoctrination makes the rebels show weakness. This should be a story, and it should be interesting and interesting, and Emperor Chongzhen will be very satisfied with this kind of performance.

Of course, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian will not think that no one in the DPRK and China will see through this. However, who would be so uninteresting to disturb Emperor Chongzhen's interest and tear the emperor's new clothes on him?

Again. These eunuchs were indeed rescued, and the results were all clear! As for whether Emperor Chongzhen will find out in the future, anyway, these are all told by the stupid Dusi in front of him, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian just uploaded it truthfully, if there is any blame, let this stupid Dusi bear it himself.

Therefore, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian looked at Wu Shigong more pleasing to the eye. They just wanted to make a contribution to Wu Shigong, but they didn't expect this stupid Dusi to really make a fool of himself in the Chinese military tent.

Of course, Wu Shigong deliberately wanted to perform like this. Otherwise, he could have sent people to send these eunuchs to the Chinese army. Why run on your own?

Wu Shigong's focus is to cry poor. And it was in front of those Dengzhou City elders who entered the Chinese military tent to cry poor. Anyway, Wu Shigong wants everything, carts, mules and horses, grain and grass, and gunpowder...... Even Wu Shigong asked for paper. After making a leaflet, Wu Shigong knew that the paper of the Ming Dynasty was also expensive enough.

After arriving in the south of Dengzhou City, because Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were not welcome, the supply of the Henan army was only maintained at a minimum level.

However, Wu Shigong is not afraid of the two coaches getting stuck in their necks, he has Zhu Dadian's warrant. So these days. Some nearby prefectures and counties were made to jump by the grain collection teams sent out by the Henan Army. And Wu Shigong was not afraid that Zhu Dadian would take back the warrant, at most he would tell Zhu Dadian at that time: The warrant was used by Wu Shigong as a piece of paper. Anyway, it's a dead thing.

Wu Shigong's sprinkling made Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian's face disappear. In the end, there are still the three elders in Dengzhou City in the Chinese military tent, but it is impossible to reprimand Wu Shigong indiscriminately, after all, Wu Shigong is the life-saving benefactor of these elders. So Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian had to look at Wu Shigong's performance in embarrassment.

And Wu Shigong wants this effect. His performance is even more free. But when he foamed at the mouth and talked nonsense for a while. He saluted the three elders and said, "Please comment on this theory for the students!" "All the people in the tent almost fainted.

Zhu Dadian asked Wu Shigong in disbelief: "Wu Dusi also has fame?" ”

Wu Shigong replied proudly: "The student is the Shuntianfu Xiucai!" Of course, Wu Shigong has to be involved in his identity as a scholar at this time. Because in the Ming Dynasty, it was still possible to reason with each other. But a scholar can be unreasonable with a military attachΓ©. In case Zhu Dadian and Gao Qi started a fire and used violence to drive Wu Shigong out of the Chinese army regardless of face, Wu Shigong would have nowhere to cry out for injustice.

Zhu Dadian looked at Wu Shigong's villainous face with disgust, and thought to himself: "You are really a shame for scholars!" ”

When he arrived at Zuihou, it was Zhu Dadian who suppressed Wu Shigong's arrogance. Because he found out that Wu Shigong had just drunk. Drinking alcohol in the army can be big or small, and under normal circumstances, there is no binding force on senior military attaches such as Wu Shigong. But if Zhu Dadian insists on pursuing it, there is no problem in hitting Wu Shigong's dozens of military sticks.

So Zhu Dadian faked his anger and wanted to use Wu Shigong to punish Wu Shigong with military law, and the three elders must have come forward to intercede for Wu Shigong, and Wu Shigong also got off the donkey down the slope to thank the governor and the supervisor for their magnanimity.

When he arrived in Zuihou, Wu Shigong's military exploits were offset by merit and demerits, and he only received 800 stone of grain and 10 carts of gunpowder sent by Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian. And also...... And two hundred dollars of paper. Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian still hope that Wu Shigong will continue to make persistent efforts.

When returning to the camp, Wu Shigong looked at the greatly reduced materials, and sighed in his heart: "It's really the details that determine success or failure!" It's good not to drink alcohol at noon! ”

Therefore, Wu Shigong was very unhappy after returning to the camp, and he instructed Yang Rusong: "You immediately let those people wash it three times, and they will all be washed without smell." Wait until dinner is over, and bring them all over. ”

Thirty-one Portuguese including Ensign Gonzalez entered Wu Shigong's tent, and suddenly entered the brightly lit tent from the darkness, which made Gonzalez's eyes a little uncomfortable. After squinting his eyes and getting used to it for a while, Gonzalez saw the situation in the big tent clearly: he saw a young Ming military general sitting behind the big case in the tent, his face serious.

Gonzalez hesitated for a moment, then bent down and bowed deeply, and said, "Honorable general, we are Franc machine people from the West, and we were invited by Minister Sun Yuanhua of the Ming Dynasty to teach firearms combat for the Ming army. Faithfully thank you for your rescue. God bless you! ”

Maybe Gonzalez was a little excited, so he spoke a little fast. Wu Shigong is also familiar with that tone when he hears it, which is the taste of Hong Kong people speaking Mandarin. However, the sky is not afraid of the earth, and the Cantonese are afraid of the official language! Coupled with Gonzalez's Portuguese accent, how can Wu Shigong understand this?

So Wu Shigong impatiently slapped the big case and said loudly: "What did you say? ”

Seeing that Wu Shigong seemed to be angry, Yang Rusong misunderstood Wu Shigong's meaning. He immediately drew his sword and shouted at Gonzalez, "Don't you know how to salute when you see us? Kneel down and kowtow to me! ”

Seeing that the guards in the big tent had drawn their swords, Gonzalez knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation. People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, this is not okay without kowtowing.

In fact, when Westerners came to China at that time, they did not resist kneeling and kowtowing at all, which was nothing more than following the customs of the country. Besides, when you see the pope in the West, many nobles also kneel down and kiss the Pope's shoes, and the West also has this kind of etiquette. As for the fact that Westerners are not even willing to kowtow to the Chinese emperor in the future, it is nothing more than that they already look down on backward China.

However, Wu Shigong enjoyed this process very much. Seeing the modern Caucasians who are often high-spirited, pouting their butts and kneeling at their feet, Wu Shigong's pride is spontaneous. Wu Shigong thought proudly in his heart: "This century-old national shame has finally been broken since I crossed!" ”

Therefore, Wu Shigong's mood suddenly turned cloudy. After all, we still have to entrap these foreigners. So after they kowtowed a few times, Wu Shigong said with a smile: "Get up, stand up and speak!" ”

Westerners are straight-minded, and after listening to Wu Shigong's words, they all got up from the ground. But at this time, Gonzalez and the others looked at Wu Shigong with some fear. They've been held for so long that they've become a flock of frightened birds.

Wu Shigong slowed down his speech as much as possible, and asked Gonzalez, "Do you understand what the official said?" ”

Gonzalez replied, "Yes." Checkmate! This time, Gonzalez's speech speed was also very slow, and Wu Shigong, who had been influenced by Cantonese songs for many years, also understood Gonzalez's words.

"That's good! What is your last name, sir? Wu Shigong asked again.

"General, the contemptible surname Gang!" Gonzalez has also been in China for a long time, so he uses the Chinese habit to introduce his surname. (To be continued......)
