Chapter 572: You're not qualified to talk to me
"Listen, Spaniards on the shore, we, the Overseer, want to see your Supreme Commander here. Let him take a boat to our flagship!"
What's that?
Surrender is not enough, you still have to see me?
You're so powerful,
Why don't you come up to see me!?
Kind of you're coming!?
Edgardo was furious, his fists clenched.
He wanted to jump up and shout in the direction of the ship and scold them fiercely, but he didn't dare.
Now that he is riding a tiger, he could have had many more opportunities to escape, but he missed them all.
Now, I don't have a chance to run if I want to.
No matter how fast his steps are, can he pass the cannonballs as fast as he cannonballs?
"Don't leave anything to chance, it's still ten breaths this time! If you come, we guarantee that you will have no worries! If they don't, all the ships in this harbor and all the buildings on land will be reduced to ashes under the fire! Please think carefully! Come over and negotiate, or let's shoot!
Now the clock begins!
Ten!"
Not again!
Are you still human!?
It's just a meeting, as for such a big fight?
Edgar had never been humiliated like this at such an age.
But what did they just say about coming here?
If you go in the past, you can ensure that your life is worry-free?
It's true?
But now that you're exposed to their fire, there's no need to lie to yourself, right?
"Your Excellency—" an officer behind him called out.
"Huh?" Edgardo looked back. "It's called ***?"
"This, ahem, that—" The officer's face was embarrassed, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Edgardo was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and then at the large and small officers around him, and then came to his senses.
"Are you asking Lao Tzu to negotiate with the Ming people!?"
"My lord, we can't just watch these dozens of warships in the harbor be blown up and sunk by them, right!? This is a loss for the country! It's a loss for His Highness the King!" An officer said solemnly.
"That's right! They have guaranteed absolute safety, so what's not to worry about? If it were me, I'd go! For the safety of many soldiers in the port, for the property of the country! What can't you give up!?"
"I'd like to go, too! If many warships in the port were destroyed by the Ming, we in Spain would never have the strength to fight against those lowland guys in the Netherlands, and even the fate of the country would change! For the country! I'm willing to give my life! Checkmate! Go ahead!"
A group of people chattered, making Edgar more heads and two bigger.
"Shut the fuck! Since you are all so faithful, and you are not afraid of death! Then come with me! Go, and not one of you will be missing!"
"My lord, we're going to stay! If so—"
A group of guys were blindfolded and quickly explained. But the annoyed Edgardo could not listen.
"Shut up! Whoever doesn't go, Lao Tzu will kill him immediately!"
As he spoke, he put down his raised hand, picked up the gun in his hand and pointed it at everyone.
In the final analysis, there are more people who listen to his orders.
A group of soldiers didn't care about the others, and they all raised their guns.
On the other side, Lu Shiyun, who was holding a telescope, made people stop the countdown.
"Overseer, they seem to be in a state of infighting."
"Well, give them some time."
So everyone looked through the binoculars, and those without the telescopes stretched their necks to see if the Spanish side would fight.
However, Edgardo had the absolute upper hand, tied up the few men who had just sung a high note, and ordered a small boat to drive them up, and jumped on them himself.
Then they rowed toward the First Fleet.
No
After a while, the boat came to the bottom of the Suncheon.
The closer he got to Suncheon, the more frightened Edgardo became.
Damn, it's not really going to die.
But at this point, there is no turning back.
Coming to the Suncheon, he finally knew why the ship was invincible at sea.
The hull is made entirely of steel, and when you look up, it feels like it's several stories high.
Where the fuck is this put so people can't climb out, right?
Edgardo thought so.
He didn't have to wait long, Lu Shiyun ordered someone to throw a rope ladder down the deck, and then poked his head out, and condescendingly motioned to Edgardo to climb up the rope ladder.
Edgardo originally planned to let the officers below climb up first, but who knew that Lu Shiyun above had someone translate a sentence and let him go up alone.
I?
Alone?
He began to hesitate again.
"I'm still scared of a hammer when he's here, so come up!" Lu Shiyun urged impatiently.
Although Edgardo couldn't understand Chinese, he knew from his expression that he wasn't saying good things.
So his heart was crossed, he reached out and grabbed the dangling rope ladder, and climbed up with his hands and feet.
All the way to the deck, he looked left and right, and at a glance he saw Xie Xuelong standing on the deck.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and spoke as calmly as he could.
"Dare to ask what the general is called?"
Xie Xuelong looked him up and down and looked at the translator on the side.
"Overseer, he asked for your honorable name."
"Tell him that my surname is Xie."
"Yes, Overseer." The interpreter said a word to Edgardo, and then looked at Xue Xue Long when he was finished. "Overseer, he said his name was Edgardo. I want to ask what we're doing here."
[In view of the general environment,
"What's more? Forget it, it doesn't matter. We're here to do business with Spain."
"Doing business? Doing business with cannons!?" Edgardo said incredulously.
"That's right. We have always been like this in business. Those who cooperate will make you money, and those who do not cooperate will communicate with artillery. In all these years overseas, I haven't heard that we are doing business unfairly!?"
"You... This—" Edgardo was dumbfounded. "You came to our harbor to bomb and sink dozens of our warships, just to do business with us?"
"That's right! Or else?"
"What kind of business?"
"Sell handicrafts, blankets, fabrics, and the like."
"What?! That's it!?"
"And what more do you want? We have muskets and artillery, do you want them?"
"Is there such a thing?" Edgardo asked, pointing to the main cannon beside him.
"Yes!"
"How much does it cost?"
"How can this door cost seven or eight thousand taels of silver?"
"Seven or eight thousand taels? Twenty doors for us! No! Fifty gates!" Edgardo was excited.
If they get dozens of cannons, why fear him in the Netherlands!
No, you can take revenge on Akito!
"I'm sorry, we don't sell it."
"Huh? Are you kidding me?"
"Tricking you? If you Spain had such artillery, would you sell it to someone else?"
Edgardo stopped talking.
This thing won't be sold to anyone, let alone Daming?
"Okay, that's a lot, don't talk nonsense. We're really here to do business. However, you are not qualified to talk to me. I want to see your king!"
