Tong San's efficiency is quite high, Dolgon ordered to go down during the day, and Tong San got a ship at night.

This ship is an iron ore ship from Sweden to Riga, and today Russia needs a lot of steel, and a lot of iron ore comes from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

Swedish iron ore was unloaded in Riga and then loaded onto Russian cargo and trafficked to Sweden. This is a trade ship that specializes in running the Baltic Sea, the ship is large, but this time the cargo from Rigala to Helsinki is very special.

To be exact, there are only five people in the cargo, and if you send five people to Helsinki, you will have a lot of money to take.

When the captain heard the news, his nose was bubbling with joy.

Less cargo, natural coal saving.

Europeans and the Ming people are somewhat different, since the advent of steam engine ships, only a small number of fishing boats still use sails. Especially in places like the Baltic Sea, there are many seas that can be described as windless and three-foot waves.

There are many reefs near the shore, and now there are steam engine ships, and no one uses sailboats.

Unlike the Ming people, the ships running along the coast and on the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty today are still sailing ships that combine steam engines and sails. Even some of the ships that run the South Seas route are also sailboats.

Dolgon and Zilharang were carried onto the ship and now needed to escape to Helsinki as soon as possible. As long as it is out of the territory of Russia, the problem will not be very big.

Finland is a small Baltic country, with a relatively small population among the Baltic states.

Therefore, Finland is a country that claims to be neutral and peaceful. Normally, the Finns do not participate in the war. Of course, they will not participate in the war of encirclement and suppression of Russia by various countries.

And the Nordic country is remote and uninformed. I want to hide there for a while, and then find a way to go to North American territory.

Dolgon and Zilharang were carried into the cabin, and Tong San sent someone to clean the cabin. Most of the sailors were bachelors, and before they were cleaned up, the inside of the cabin was not much like a garbage dump.

Even if I've cleaned it up now, there's a faint smell that I can't understand what it smells like, and it doesn't smell good anyway.

Tong San lit the incense very stubbornly, then glanced at Elizabeth and withdrew. Tong San, whose eyes are more poisonous than poisonous snakes, has already seen that this girl has little to do with the master.

Zilharan was in another cabin, guarded by Dr. Serkin.

Because it is a steam engine ship, there is heating in the cabin. Elizabeth took off her mink coat outside, revealing her delicate figure.

"Do you have arrangements in Helsinki?" He touched Dorgon's head, and then his forehead. Thankfully, Dorgon didn't have a fever.

A lot of fever is good, but after how many people are injured, they all have a high fever that does not go away, and finally die in a coma.

"I sent someone there two years ago, and now I am the shopkeeper of a large fur shop in Helsinki. You know, it's a place in Finland where only fur can get your hands on. "Perhaps on the verge of leaving dangerous Russia, Dolgon's spirits are strong.

"There is a saying among the Ming people that a cunning rabbit has three holes. You're a cunning rabbit, and you've been expecting this day for a long time. "The Ming Dynasty is now the most powerful country in the world, and people from other countries take pride in learning the Ming language.

Some of the common sayings of the Ming Dynasty were naturally introduced to various countries by some Chinese teachers.

"It's called the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and the Ming people generally like to use four-word words to describe a thing. Sometimes, it can be complicated. There will be a very philosophical story behind it!

Now, the Ming people also often use idioms to distinguish between Koreans who can speak Chinese and Wa people. You know, these people look a lot like the Ming people on the outside. ”

Pause! "I thought there would be such a day," said Dorgon, "but I didn't expect it to come true.

It's been four years! Although the Ming Dynasty did not start a war for four years, their power became stronger and stronger. And it is so powerful that it can bring down a big country without sending troops.

Look at it! According to Li Xiao's temper, Russia will definitely be divided into many small countries, just as the Ming people did to the Indians.

Only small countries do not have the ability to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Turning a big country into many small countries is what Da Ming has always wanted to do. It is also the most effective way for the Ming Dynasty to achieve world hegemony.

France and Prussia will definitely send troops this time, because they are interested in Russian goods. The Ottomans on the southern front also thought the same, and I think that the Ming people would personally send troops to Central Asia to clean up the Mongols who had defected to Russia.

Embattled, it is simply impossible for Russia to succeed in keeping the country from being torn apart.

It is also for this reason that your father asked his beloved daughter to come to my rescue with his guards. Rest assured! Since you saved me, I will naturally take you to the territory of North America.

In that place far away from Daming, we live quietly and don't toss anymore. In the end, Dorgon was a little discouraged.

The goal that I have been fighting for half a lifetime now seems so small. The Ming Empire is getting stronger and stronger, even so powerful that there is no end in sight.

Now, I had to give up.

"Don't you think it's because you're too smart that you're in this situation." Elizabeth smiled at Dorgon in her arms.

"Oh! Why? ”

"Only smart people can see the future. But at the same time, they also believe that they can change the future with their ingenuity.

But the reality is that no matter how smart a person is, he can't change everything. For example, you can't make Russia strong enough to stand up to the Ming Dynasty.

Because Russia has not yet become strong, it will be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty by all means. The Ming people have already gained the upper hand, and I am afraid that this process will last for a hundred years, or even two hundred years, three hundred years.

There's no way around it! You can't change it, and no one can change it. Perhaps the only one who can change all this is God! ”

"God! Perhaps, if there really is a God. Dolgon smiled to himself.

Less than an hour after the ship left the harbor, Ward's Praetorian Cavalry in black uniforms rushed in and inspected the ships in the harbor. and issued an order in the name of Her Majesty that no vessel should go out to sea without them having searched it.

The wind picked up at night and the boat was a little bumpy. From the captain to the crew, they are begging God.

If the boat capsizes and falls into the sea this season, the icy waters can quickly rob you of your body temperature. If you want to survive, it is simply impossible.

Fortunately, the boat was in danger during the night, did not hit the reef, and was not blown over by the strong wind. In the afternoon of the next day, the captain saw the port of Helsinki from the wheelhouse.

The ship docked at the port of Helsinki, and Tong San disembarked first. After a while, several carriages drove by.

Several men carried Dorgon and Zilharan on stretchers into the carriage. Tong San shouted, and several carriages ran out of the port and disappeared.

By the warm fireplace, Dorgon looked at the orange flames.

There was a smell of pine in the room, which Dolgon knew was the smell of pine burning in the fireplace.

"Master! You live here for the time being, it's safe and generally no one comes. There was food in the cellar, and there were three servants and ten servants. It's all our own people, you don't have to worry.

As long as you're better, we'll be able to sail on a boat. Tong San knelt in front of Dolgon and whispered to Dolgon.

Despite the discomfort, Dorgon nodded. Speaking of which, these Jurchen minions are still intimate. They believe in their bones that they are their masters.

It's not like those who came to him later, and they say it nicely. As long as they lose their position, they will surely rush over like wolves and tear themselves to pieces.

"Good! You go about your business first, I'm afraid it will take three or two months for my injury to get better. Dorgon shifted his body first, but the wound twitched in pain.

"Fourteenth Master! The minions had asked Dr. Serkin, and the shot seemed dangerous. In fact, the damage to you is very limited, and the bullet avoids the vertebrae and also avoids vital organs. It's just some damage to the intestines.

After his repair, there is no major problem, as long as the wound is not infected, there will be no major problems. The minions have already prepared a lot of the medicines you need.

Rest assured, all the minions are in order. ”

"Hmm!" Dorgon nodded, the bumps had drained him of his strength. Now, I don't even have the strength to talk to Tong San.

"Master! You rest first, and the slave goes on an errand. After signing a lot at Dolgon, Tong San walked out.

The wounded man could not freeze, so Elizabeth put Dolgon to rest by the fireplace.

For the rest of his life, he will have to rely on this man.

Father Kutuzov and Dolgon, both knowledgeable people, both said that this time Russia is finished, then it is really finished.

Leaving the land where she grew up, Elizabeth was a little confused about the future.

I heard that the territory of North America is a very beautiful place, where there are many estates and countless black slaves working in the fields.

Except for the Ming Dynasty, it was the place where the slave trade was most developed.

In his sleep, Dorgon resembles a child, occasionally smacking his lips.

Elizabeth lovingly tugged at Dorgon's hair, a smile on her face.

In the upstairs room, there was a cry like killing a pig. Elizabeth knew that it was Serkin who was changing Zilharang's dressing.

Ever since he lost a leg, Zilharan has been screaming like this. Elizabeth felt that the man was dead. Because in his eyes, there was a look like a dead man.

Zilharang, who was originally very cheerful, now does not speak day by day. It was only when Serkin changed his dressing every day that he howled twice, as he did now.

Poor guy lost a leg, but ...... Finally saved his life.

Elizabeth knew the power of the Janissary Ward's cavalry. Seventy percent of my father's guards died, and this was the only way to save people.

Along the way, Elizabeth was terrified, for fear of being overtaken. Now that we're in Helsinki, it's time to get a good night's sleep.

The warm and smoky fireplace seems to wake up countless sleepy insects. Not long after, Elizabeth also fell asleep.

Just after Elizabeth fell asleep, the ship carrying them also left Helsinki. The goods that were transported were just as easy, just about two dozen wooden boxes.

The wooden boxes were very large, and each had to be carried by four strong men. As if he was afraid that the captain would steal something, Tong San specially arranged for eight Nordic men to guard the boxes and not allow anyone to approach.

The captain pouted, dissatisfied. But a bag of Daming silver coins was thrown over, and the captain immediately stopped talking.

This is a Ming silver coin, a proper hard currency.

No matter which country you go to, you can easily exchange it for the currency of that country. There are even many countries that can directly spend Ming silver coins.

If you go to a place like Paris, the dancing girls in Galeries Lafayette like the Ming silver coins the most. You don't need a bag like this, just ten Ming silver coins, and they'll be waiting for you to fly.

For the sake of the silver coins, the captain set sail at once. Just get these things to Copenhagen and you're done.

Wanting to get back to Copenhagen as soon as possible, the captain left the port and sailed at 80%. This is the most economical speed, not only does it save coal but it is also very fast, and at this speed, you will be able to reach Copenhagen tomorrow morning.

The port is getting farther and farther away, and the land is getting farther and farther. It was getting darker and darker, and soon the ship couldn't see the horizon.

There was no moon tonight, and the sea was as black as thick ink. The cold breeze of the Baltic Sea, with its icy water, constantly laps on the side of the ship.

Some splashes on the deck formed lumps of ice.

Fortunately, the stars in the sky can still guide the way, especially the Big Dipper, which hangs high in the sky to set the course for the ship.

The captain corrected the course one last time, and then went down to the cabin to look at the guards who were not far from the boxes.

He took a sip of brandy and went back to his cabin to sleep. Just sleep overnight and go to Copenhagen tomorrow to unload those goods. Next, it's time to have some fun.

I don't really like the rough benzene women in Copenhagen, or the women in Paris are more tasteful. The best thing is to get an order to go around France, and French women are more flavorful than those women in Northern Europe.

"Thank God for the gift! Hopefully there will be such a good business every day. Muttered, and the captain closed his eyes under the blanket.

Just fifteen minutes after he closed his eyes, a loud bang woke him up. I opened my eyes in a daze, and before I could understand what was going on, there was another loud bang.

Then there was a loud and continuous bang, the hull shook horribly, and the sound of steel could be heard in your ears. Through the portholes, a terrifying orange-red flash can be seen.

The captain opened the hatch in fear, and the icy water rushed in.
