Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Those who are familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty know that the Franc cannon played a very important role in the Ming Dynasty.
Initially, one of the battleships of the Franc Machine Man clashed with the Ming Dynasty sailors off the coast of Macao, and was later captured by the Ming army. During the battle, the Ming army suffered the loss of the Franc cannon, so as soon as they went ashore, they asked the imperial court to imitate the Franc cannon.
And it is precisely because they want to use the technology of the Franc machine that the Franc machine man is able to do business in Macao and the coastal cities of Guangdong. Because at this time, the Franco machine man was not like the late Ming Dynasty when he repeatedly violated the border of the Ming Dynasty, and he was generally quite obedient, so the Ming Dynasty did not have too much hostility towards the Franco machine man at this moment.
When this Franc cannon was first imitated, it was not used in the 6th war, but it was only equipped on ships. Nowadays, the Thousand Gate Trickster faction contacted the Franco machine to make the zuò artillery, which was definitely not to equip any ships, but to use it in the 6th war.
Just with the strength of the Trickster Faction, even if they have a large number of Franc cannons, they can't make any big waves, so it is certain that there is still a master behind the scenes of the Trickster Faction.
Jiang Xia wore casual clothes and followed Zhong Bin to the South Street Night City, which is the gathering place of the Francophone people.
There are not many people in Beijing, most of them are in Guangdong and Macau.
Sometimes it can be understood in this way, Guangdong and Macao are like the two base camps of the Franc machine in Daming, and the remaining small number of Franc machine people in Beijing and Zhejiang are equivalent to the marketing promoters in the development of customers and markets.
It's just that in terms of the abundance of products, the Franco-Rang people are much inferior to our Central Plains Celestial Empire, so more often than not, they buy silk, porcelain, tea, spices and other things from all over the Central Plains and return to Portugal to sell.
However, they still have the technology of a Franc cannon, which has attracted many people to buy it.
Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin came to the South Street Night City, which, as the name suggests, is usually hot and lively when it is night. It was not yet noon, and the streets were deserted and there were not many people doing business, only a few shops with storefronts open to do business.
Zhong Bin pointed to an inn, where the Franc Robot people who had been contacted by the Trickster Sect lived.
As we all know, Chinese is one of the most profound languages in the world. Therefore, generally speaking, there are not many people who know Chinese in the Franc machine, and the average Franc machine person can simply say two sentences, and there are very few people who can fully express the meaning. Therefore, every time the Franc machine man goes out, he will carry one or two translators, and such interpreters may be Franc machine people or Han Chinese.
After Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin entered the inn, they saw a few Francophiles gesturing something there, and they were talking with "hey, wow, wow", as if they were a little anxious and a little angry.
A middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper looked impatient, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about, anyway, you've been in arrears for five days, and I'm going to kick you out if you don't pay the money in full." ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper clapped his hands, and five or six biao-shaped men walked out of the inn, each of which was carrying a big wooden stick in his hand, and the five Franco-shaped people were startled.
Jiang Xia said: "Forget it, they said that their translator stole their money and ran away, but they will get a sum of money right away, and ask you to give them a few more days." ”
After speaking, Jiang Xia turned to the few Franc machine people and began to talk.
After a period of communication between the two sides, Jiang Xia took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and threw them to the shopkeeper, saying, "I will help them pay off the house money first, and the rest will be temporarily deposited here for you and let them deduct it as house money." Prepare me a good table for dinner. ”
"Well, please wait, guest officer. ”
The shopkeeper immediately smiled, and the big men immediately put down their sticks, and each took out a rag from his arms and put it on his shoulder. One of them shouted: "A table of fine wine, the guests are in a hurry, the kitchen is hurrying"
Jiang Xia suddenly felt a little speechless, this degree of face change, from Sichuan Opera, right?
Jiang Xia said something more to the Franc machine people, and then several Franc machine people shook Jiang Xia's hand very friendly, and followed Jiang Xia to the upstairs box to sit.
The five Franc people all came from Guangdong, and they had just come over not long ago. One of them is called Ian Sarry, it is said that he came to negotiate a deal, who knows that the deal has not been negotiated but the translator stole their silver and fled, if it wasn't for Jiang Xia's help, they would definitely have to sleep on the street tonight, so Ian Sarri is very grateful to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia shook his head and said in Portuguese: "I am a country that talks about etiquette, and I will not let my friends from outside be wronged." ”
Ian Sarri gave Jiang Xia a thumbs up after hearing this.
After a period of communication between the two sides, the innkeeper put the wine and food together, and during the meal, Jiang Xia and these Francophiles pushed the glasses. During the banquet, Jiang Xia kept using Ian Sarri's words, and after letting Ian Sarry relax his guard with wine and food, Jiang Xia basically knew what he wanted to know.
Ian Surrey and the Rebels met in Guangdong, and later the Rebels approached them and sold them a few Furlong cannons for testing.
Perhaps they were very powerful after trying, so the Trickster sent people to Guangdong to tell them, and they wanted to buy more Fran cannons, probably at least 500 guns.
Hearing such a large number, Ian Surrey and the others discussed that after the five of them came to Jingshi to find someone from the Trickster Sect to sign a contract. The contract had just been signed two days ago, and the first deposit was given, but the money was stolen by their translator, and now they don't even have the money to go back to Guangdong.
Jiang Xia also asked where the artillery would be sent when it was ready, but Ian Sarri said that the other party would not tell them until it was ready.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xia offered to help lend them the money to let them go back to Guangdong, but in order to ensure that Ian Surrey would return the silver he lent them, Ian Surrey had to give him the contract they had signed, and he would return the contract to them when they returned to Guangdong and sent someone to return the silver.
Finally met someone who was willing to help, Ian Sarri nodded and agreed after thinking about it, anyway, Jiang Xia was useless with the contract, and he didn't have anything to worry about.
He took out the contract from the leather bag he carried at any time and handed it to Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia suddenly laughed in his heart after seeing Hua Yundi's signature on it. He nodded, and took a thousand taels from his bosom and handed it to Ian Surrey.
Taking the treasure money, Ian Surrey is very grateful.
Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and after the two got the contract, they hurriedly left the Nanjie Night City.
On the way to send Zhong Bin back to Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xia asked him, "What are you going to do next?"
"Arrest people, torture and ask where the firearms will be sent. Zhong Bin said.
When Jiang Xia heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Well, this kind of righteous and awe-inspiring thing really has to be done by you to do it well." ”
After saying that, Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin separated.
Since Zhong Bin still had to report to Nanzhen Fusi, he couldn't immediately bring people to round up the people from the Trickster Sect. In order to ensure that the people of the Trickster Sect would be wiped out, Jiang Xia asked Feng Xiao to immediately notify the people of the Lian Heng Sect to come and quietly guard the several entrances and exits of the Trickster Faction's headquarters, so as not to let anyone slip through the net.
To say that the reaction of the Jinyi Guards is really not slow, in the afternoon, there were several Jinyi Guards from thousands of households rushing out, and the Nanzhen Fusi Zhen Fu Envoy personally led the team to surround the Tianyuan Chess Society, that is, the general altar of the Trickster Sect.
Under the order of the pacification envoy, some of the brocade guards broke in through the front and rear doors, and some went directly over the wall.
Jiang Xia, who was sitting on the second floor of the inn opposite the Tianyuan Chess Club drinking tea, heard the sound of "ding ding bells" from the opposite chess club, and Jiang Xia understood that this time the treacherous soldiers were dispatched.
No matter how powerful the Jianghu sect is, once you go against the imperial court, and the imperial court is determined to eliminate you, then it is impossible for you to continue to survive.
Those examples of brazenly occupying mountains and claiming that the king gathered people to rebel and were not exterminated must have been born in troubled times, and it is absolutely impossible to be born in a peaceful and prosperous era like the Zhengde Dynasty.
Jiang Xia had just finished drinking Biluochun in the teacup, and when he put down the teacup and was about to pour himself another cup of tea, Geng Zhongqiu and Bai Hongyun came together.
As soon as Bai Hongyun saw Jiang Xia, he bowed respectfully and saluted with his fists, and said, "See the master." ”
Jiang Xia waved his hand and asked, "How's that?"
Bai Hongyun glanced at Geng Zhongqiu, as if there was an accident, so he didn't dare to report it.
Geng Zhongqiu said: "The disciples of the Trickster Sect were all surrounded by the Jinyi Guard, and none of them managed to escape. Their Thousand Doors Eight Goalkeepers Out of the Wind Goalkeeper and Fire Goalkeeper were not in the main altar so they escaped, and the rest have been stopped by us.
It's a pity that Hua Yundi and his two protectors and the four great King Kongs all escaped, and there were five strangers with them, who we didn't know. I only know that their martial arts are very high, and it was Leng Yu and Ma Hongxin who were responsible for intercepting them, and both of them were injured. ”
"Leng Yu and Ma Hongxin are both injured?"
Jiang Xia frowned slightly.
Leng Yu and Ma Hongxin are both one of the Four King Kongs, and martial arts have long been in the realm of the Three Great Dings, but they didn't expect that the two of them were still injured when they shot together, which shows that there are many masters on the other side.
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Okay, I know." Now that the Traitor Sect has been listed as a traitor by the Jinyi Guard, even if they escape, they can only hide and hide, and they will no longer dare to appear openly. The two of you go down and arrange for the disciples to meet at the main altar. ”
"Yes!" Geng Zhongqiu and Bai Hongyun saluted Jiang Xia together, and then the two said, "My subordinates retire." ”
