Xie Xuelong's words were full of confidence, and his eyes when he looked at Edgardo were full of calm, with a hint of banter. Diaphragm

It can be summed up in one sentence.

Even if you want to bite me to death, you can only hold it at this moment.

"You're bullying! It's bandit logic at all! Doesn't it mean that you scholars in the Ming Dynasty are all gentle and elegant gentlemen? Why do you commit such an act that is even more shameless than blatant robbery!?"

"Reader? To tell you the truth, I am a scholar, and I am still a Jinshi in the forty-first year of Wanli, and the best among scholars. I also prided myself on the gentle gentleman you said. But now, I don't think so. The outside world is too big, and I used to sit in the well and watch the sky, thinking that I could let the people live a happy life by relying on the knowledge of the saints.

can make the country strong, but later it turns out that it is not.

No amount of ink in your stomach will be a wave of your hand under the enemy's butcher's knife. The Jiannu outside the Daming Pass is a clear example. They who were once attached to Daming took advantage of Daming's weakness to bite Daming hard.

Fortunately, His Majesty the current Emperor knows people well, turns the tide and kills them in a short period of time. Diaphragm

Only then did I understand.

Only those with big fists are qualified to speak the truth.

The weak are only qualified to be manipulated.

Later, His Majesty appointed me as the commander of the First Fleet, and I was invincible at sea.

We snatched Luzon from you and laid down the cochins. When the grain produced in these two places was transported back to Daming in whole ships, I fully realized it. The thrill of moving someone else's resources to your own home little by little.

Even if we become what you call robbers, our children and grandchildren will benefit from it.

No matter how fierce you scold, so what? We have food and drink, and our lives are boundless, but you are the ones who suffer. Diaphragm

Although it sounds cruel and inhumane. But we don't care! Because we're robbers! Do robbers care if their enemies live or die? No, it won't!

Besides, you're now saying that we're robbers.

What about you Spain?

I'm covered in white hair, and I still say that we are monsters?

Why didn't you say it when you and the Netherlands occupied our Taiwan?

And Luzon, is it your territory? Manraka is your territory? Brazil is your territory?

Aren't they all looted? Diaphragm

Now that we are accusing us of being robbers, are you a good thing in yourselves? Have the ability to withdraw your own army from someone else's territory!

You look like you're in your forties or fifties, why are you so naïve and don't understand such a simple truth? Honestly cooperate with us, we will eat meat and give you a sip of soup to drink.

But if you don't cooperate, there must be too many countries in this Europa that want your Spain to be fragmented, as long as we Daming speaks, do you think there will be other countries to cooperate with us?

For example, the Netherlands?"

"We, we're here to help the uncivilized natives, who don't even have enough to eat without us! They should thank us."

"Look, how ugly you look when you're shameless. You burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil on other people's land, and in turn you help others. We at least dare to act, and you don't dare to admit it even if you become robbers?"

"We don't, I—"

Edgardo was sweating all over his head as Xie Xuelong said.

For as long as he can remember, all he has seen is the strength of Spain.

They have many overseas colonies, where they do whatever they want, plundering resources as they want.

All kinds of minerals, all kinds of scarce resources, like monsters with tentacles, continue to draw nutrients from these colonies, and then continue to develop the military and open up a larger territory.

And now, they have encountered an opponent who is so strong that they are desperate.

It would be fine if this opponent was just entrenched in the East as usual, but in the past few years, they have also

Began to extend its tentacles overseas. In the first battle, they robbed their largest and most important colony in the East, Luzon, and it did not seem to be very difficult.

This shocked them, but with the Netherlands on their side, they were no longer able to carve out a battlefield in the East. Diaphragm

If you really don't want to cooperate with the Ming and let them fall to the side of the Netherlands, I'm afraid you will really face a catastrophe!

"Nothing to say, right? If you don't have anything to say, just sit down and eat and try our Daming cuisine. Little Five, teach the robber on the other side to use chopsticks."

After speaking, Xie Xuelong stood up and walked out.

He specifically called Edgardo over, not to hurt him, but to brainwash him. Maybe it will be of any important use in the future?

"Edgardo, don't underestimate these wooden chopsticks. In our Ming Dynasty, chopsticks have their special meaning.

Look at this chopstick, one end is square and the other end is round, which alludes to the meaning of "the sky is round and the place is round", the circle symbolizes the sky, and the square symbolizes the earth. The square belongs to the Kun hexagram, the round belongs to the Qiangua, when using chopsticks, the Kun is on the top and the dry is on the bottom, which is the "Earth Tiantai" hexagram, and smooth Da, representing the auspicious meaning. People take food as the sky, chopsticks are the link to connect emotions, China is a country of food, a pair of chopsticks, pick up food, more able to connect emotions.

With you people, digging up food and stuffing it into your mouth with a spoon, there is no beauty at all. Diaphragm

Come, I'll teach you how to use the best utensils in the world..."

From this day on, Edgardo lived a leisurely life on the Suncheon.

Not only did he not suffer much, but he was also invited by Xie Xuelong to go to class and eat something delicious every now and then. Not to mention, I really learned how to use chopsticks with Xiao Wu.

On the third day after Edgardo was invited to the Suncheon, Armando returned to Mexico City, and as soon as he saw Felipe IV, he fell to his knees and cried:

"Your Highness, the fleets of the Ming people are so ferocious that I only tried to attack our fleet. If it weren't for my fate, I'm afraid I would have been buried in the belly of a fish by now! Woo~"

"What's going on, be careful. How many of you have returned?" Felipe IV asked with some displeasure on his face.

"Just come back with a boat, more than a hundred people." Diaphragm

"Your own ship came back with people?"

"Yes. The warships of the Ming army were as fast and firepower as the legend said. We can't fight back."

"Since the speed is fast and the firepower is fierce, how did you escape back?"

"We're fast, too."

"Do their ships run fast?"

"Nope."

"And how did you escape from them?" Diaphragm

"This... I don't know."

"Don't know? You don't know?"

"I really don't know, they don't seem to be trying to kill me."

"You rebelled?"

"Nope!"

"Then why didn't they kill you? Say! What the hell is going on!?"
