Chapter 158

He has been very aggrieved lately, and his fleet in Macao has been almost wiped out.

In Yizhou, the Dutch's Chichicheng was also taken over by the Ming people. Those damned Ming people actually sold prisoners of war as slaves. He even wrote to himself specifically asking if he wanted to buy some back.

The cracks in the heart are about to be blocked, which is a complete contempt for the Dutch state. But the question is, what can you do if people despise you?

Mr. Kuichi didn't wait or rely on him, and he decided to get revenge in his own way.

It won't work, he only has two ships left. Not to mention against Li Xiao, even Zheng Zhilong can't beat him. After fishing hundreds of artillery pieces from the docks in Macau, Zheng Zhilong exchanged shotguns.

Many of the warships were equipped with cannons, and now they are ravaging the South China Sea like locusts. Not only did Dutch ships pass by and have to pay money, but all ships floating in the South China Sea had to fly the Zheng family's flag. If you don't hang the flag of the Zheng family, you will definitely be robbed. If you want to find those crew members again, I'm afraid you'll have to ask the Sea Dragon King.

Now when Dutch ships enter and leave the South China Sea, they have to buy the Zheng family's flag in the strait.

This is a naked bonus, a big ship will collect a hundred taels of silver. The boat also had to charge fifty taels, which was simply a robbery. Seeing the silver flowing into the Zheng family like a tide. His heart was dripping blood, and it should all be the money of the Dutch East India Company.

In the face of encroachment, Mr. Yi did not wait or rely on. He decided...... Go to the capital to petition.

Because he heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very fond of foreign submissions. As long as you show extreme deference, you can get a lot of rewards, and some reasonable and unreasonable requests will be granted.

After two months of trekking, he came to the capital. Sure enough, he was treated with great hospitality in the Ministry of Rites, eating meals he had never eaten before. The food was so delicious that it made people want to eat it all together, and the fine porcelain that served the rice made him feel the urge to put it in his pocket.

Mr. Kuiyi was very on the road, and he saw what the Ming officials had to say. When the Ming officials were complacent, they did not forget their work. Snot cried with tears about Li Xiao's atrocities, under his packaging. He is an innocent little lamb, and he was bullied extremely miserably by the evil wolf Li Xiao.

If it weren't for the fast escape, this little life might have entered the belly of the evil wolf.

Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, greatly admired this international friend on the road and believed that this was the best achievement of Daming Weide Siyi. reprimanded Li Xiao, who bullied the weak. And assured him that the Ming Dynasty was a civilized country. For scum like Li Xiao, punishment will definitely be carried out. If you want him to wait patiently in the capital, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will also receive him. When the time comes, tell the emperor what happened to you, and naturally the Ming Emperor will be the master for you.

He stared at a pair of watery blue eyes and thanked this high-ranking official who presided over justice.

"Hans, do you really think that the old man of the Ming Dynasty will punish Li Xiao and that damn Zheng Zhilong?" When he returned to the post house from Shangshu Mansion, he always felt that this matter was a little unreliable.

If in the Netherlands, people like Li Xiao deserve the highest reward, not punishment. A general who can defeat an enemy country and bring benefits to his own country is a hero.

"Huh! Mr. Kuichi, don't worry. This is a mysterious oriental country, and their high-ranking officials have magical minds. Don't try to figure them out in the way you understand, anything weird can happen here.

I think Lord Zhao will definitely punish that Li Xiao, and Zheng Zhilong will not be able to escape. As long as you behave deferency enough in front of them, you will be able to get their support. ”

As a clergyman of the Anglican Church, Hans had been in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for five years. Although the official consent of the Ming Dynasty has not yet been obtained, a church was built in this prosperous city. But he is already very familiar with the situation of Daming.

As soon as he approached him as a guide and interpreter this time, Hans immediately agreed. Not only for the sake of a good reward, but also for the promise of taking him back to his hometown in Prussia.

It was so difficult to proselytize in the Ming Dynasty, where people believed in Buddhism and Taoism. He was not interested in Jehovah, and his persuasion that those who believed in the religion and could go to heaven after death became a laughing joke for the Ming people.

Those monks and Taoist priests always frowned at him. On several occasions, he was attacked by strangers at night. I don't know who hit him, but under the dim light, I saw the reflection above the other party's head.

It's better to go back to your hometown in Prussia, where the sky is, where the land is. Barley bread, big elbows. Delicious sausages and good wine. Hans didn't want to stay in this unfriendly country for a day.

"What a magical country!" Hans's mind couldn't understand Hans's words, and from the day Hans said on the first day that Daming would punish Li Xiao, he didn't believe it. However, this trip to the capital of the Ming Dynasty is not completely fruitless.

"When is that person named Yang Rong coming?"

"It's about tonight!"

"Oh! It's a nasty oriental habit again, why come at night. "I don't like Da Ming very much, mainly because he can't use his own thinking to guess the behavior pattern of Da Ming. In fact, it was also difficult for him to understand the thoughts of the Ming people. For example, that Zhao Nanxing kept saying that he wanted to punish Li Xiao.

"Huh! You need to get used to it, Mr. Kuichi. Hans smiled and went back to his room, both of them speaking Dutch, not afraid of being heard by the innkeepers.

It was not too late to say that it was night, but at dusk a guy dressed as a great scholar walked in under the leadership of Hans.

"Mr. Yang, you seem to have come early." I was a little surprised to see Yang Rong, this guy usually comes in the middle of the night, and he is sneaky.

"I want to invite Mr. Kuichi out for dinner today, and the carriage is already ready outside. Please! After Yang Rong finished speaking, he looked at Hans and waited for him to translate.

"You're really polite to eat." For Yang Rong's invitation, Yu Yi gladly accepted. If the only thing that I miss for Daming is the super delicious food here.

Whatever it is, the Ming people seem to be doing well. Yesterday Hans took himself to eat a bowl of pork offal, and at first he was quite disgusted. But after eating, I can't stop the chopsticks. I ate seven bowls of stew in a row, and I almost didn't die of it.

After changing their clothes, Kuichi and Hans followed Yang Rong out of the back door of the post house.

There was already a carriage waiting there at the back door, and the three of them got into the carriage. The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, and left the capital in the afterglow of the setting sun.

It was getting dark, and just when I was feeling a little uneasy, the carriage stopped.

"It's here, please!!" Yang Rong got out of the carriage first, and Kui Yi and Hans also got into the carriage one after the other.

It is the yard of a farmhouse with a pond next to it. It was just after dark, and the yard was filled with wormwood, which shrouded the whole yard in green smoke.

He rubbed his nose, he didn't really like the smell of this grass. But he also knew that this thing was used to smoke mosquitoes. If you don't order this thing, you won't be eaten by mosquitoes by the pond.

I am not cold to mosquitoes, and I have experienced mosquitoes as big as dragonflies on Java Island, and this kind of small mosquito in Beijing is not a big problem.

When I stepped into the courtyard gate, I smelled a smell of meat. A man in green clothes was roasting a whole sheep. Out of the chamber came a woman wrapped in a flower turban, holding a bowl as big as a basin. I don't know what it is, but it's quite appetizing to look at anyway.

"Please!" Yang Rong made a gesture of please, and at the same time opened the door curtain.

It was dark inside the room, and he hesitated. Hans went in first, and followed him when he couldn't help it.

I turned a corner and opened the door when I entered the house, and a cool air immediately poured out of it. The weather in the capital is still a little hot in September. How can there be cool air?

Yang Rong opened the door curtain again, and the light immediately appeared in the room. It's a little cooler, too!

There were four lamps lit in the room, all of which were glass shades. I was taken aback, and the four lampshades were very expensive. What the hell is this Yang Rong going to do today!

There was a table of eight immortals in the middle, and there were already a few dishes on the table. The woman who had just come in with food was hunched over and couldn't see her face, and a strong man sat cross-legged on the kang.

Half of the man's head was shaved, and a pigtail hung down at the back of his head. He was wearing a thin silk gown, with strong muscles faintly exposed. The strong man leaned on the quilt and closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

"Master! People are coming! Yang Rong bowed his body and said to the strong man on the kang.

"Oh!" The strong man let out an "oh" and opened his eyes. Carefully looked at Kuichi and Hans: "I'll rub!" The red-haired man has this virtue. The eyes are still blue! ”

The strong man muttered, got off the kang and hugged his fists at Hans and said, "My name is Shuotuo, let's talk about business today." ”

"Are you a Jurchen?" Hans looked at Shoto's dress.

"Huh! If you can speak human words, that's easy. Shuoto breathed a sigh of relief, saying that it was too troublesome to translate a sentence. This time, Daddy sent him because he could speak Da Ming.

"I've been to Fushun."

"Have you ever been to Fushun? In the future, if you are willing to go to Fushun and tell me, I will treat you well when you arrive in Fushun. Please! It's not your own land, it's just these things to eat. When I arrive in Shenyang in the future, I will ask you to make peace with the wine. Shuoto made a gesture of please.

Hans said a word, and the two of them sat down. The woman who was serving on the side immediately took a jug of wine and filled it for the three men. Yang Rong, who was still arrogant just now, is now hunched over and standing at the table like a mastiff.

The food on the table was very rich, especially the tableware, which made Kuichi like it very much. Holding a sharp knife in your hand feels much better than holding chopsticks. These days, he has been tortured by those two bamboo sticks.

The knife in his hand cut off a chicken leg at once, and ate it unceremoniously.

"Well, he's a happy man. My father is the owner of the Red Flag Banner, and my eldest brother is the Lord of the Red Flag Banner. This time, I came for the Franc gun. and according to your price, a thousand taels of silver. Shuoto sat down in his position and immediately went straight in.

"You agreed, it's great!" Hans immediately translated Shoto's words.

"But we still have a request, you don't just have to provide ammunition. And we have to send someone to help us train the gunners, and we can pay for it. "When I came, Dai Shan said that money is not an issue. As long as you get a cannon, you can say anything.

Hans translated Shuoto's words and Kuichi again!

"That's fine, I can help you train your gunners. I also want to know if you are going to fight Li Xiao. "I remember that Hans once said that Li Xiao's current position is the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. The main enemy is the Houjin Jurchens on the opposite side.

"Li Xiao? Oh, that new Shanhaiguan commander-in-chief? Sort of! Shuo Tuo thought for a moment before he remembered Li Xiao's name.

I heard this name when my father and my eldest brother were talking, and Shuoto knew that this kid had robbed his own gold. I heard that the eighth uncle's positive white flag also suffered a big loss in his hands.

"We will help you train the gunners for free, as long as you can defeat Li Xiao." Now as soon as Li Xiao's name is mentioned, he is so angry that he wants to bite someone.

Fortunately, the chicken thigh in his hand was stewed very badly, and he swallowed the chicken in his mouth viciously.

"You also suffered at the hands of Li Xiao?" Shuoto's eyes rolled, the enemy of his enemy was a friend to him. The red-haired ghost not only has a sharp cannon, but also hears that the fire gun is also powerful.

I heard from the eldest brother that the reason why Li Xiao was able to defeat the cavalry of the Red Banner. and let the elite Zhengbai Flag suffer, relying on the powerful firecracker. If you can get the red-haired man's firecracker, then it's ......! If this is done, the Great Khan will definitely be rewarded heavily when he returns.

As long as the fire gun is bought, the status of the two red flags among the eight flags will still rise.

"Uh......! We don't talk about this, since we have negotiated business. We will deliver ...... as soon as possible! Hans didn't want to go on on the subject, and it was a good thing that the deal was negotiated. It's just how to get these people to fulfill the contract and pay the money happily.

"Wait! You tell him that I still want to buy a firecracker. The kind of fire gun they have in their hands! Shuoto stopped Hans and looked at him and said.

"Yes!" As soon as he heard Hans's translation, he agreed without the slightest hesitation. As long as he can make Li Xiao deflated, he doesn't care about selling some muskets. Besides, I don't have that many soldiers now. What to do with so many muskets!

"You don't need to help us train gunners, why don't you send your men to put on our uniforms and push the artillery directly to fight?" Shuoto's eyes stared straight at Kuichi.

"You want my soldiers to go to war?"

"Yes, put your soldiers into battle. As long as you can defeat Li Xiao, price is not a problem. Shuoto smiled and looked at Kaoyi, and it could be seen from Kaochi's hateful eyes that he would definitely agree.

PS: The recent update is a bit slow, no way. The old dragon was tormented by hemorrhoids and could only lie on his stomach or stand. I can't sit down at all, so take care of it! Thank you!
