Chapter 157: This Barbarian Is Not Simple
A Dutch warship arrived in Fujian. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as the info warship entered the port, Zheng Zhilong was alarmed.
The Dutch East India Company not only robbed the old man of a dozen ships of goods, but also robbed tens of thousands of people. Now, they dare to come to Fujian, which is really bold. ”
A hint of anger flashed in Zheng Zhilong's eyes.
Provocation, the Dutch this is a naked provocation.
Fujian, and even the entire Daming Sea, was regarded by Zheng Zhilong as his own territory. The Dutch are now coming to the door, and they are really deceiving.
Zheng Sen said: "Dad, there is only one Dutch warship, perhaps, they are not here to fight. Let's meet the barbarians and see what they're up to. ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "That's all it takes." It's a pity that Sect Leader Chen Ji is not here, otherwise, how can we be afraid of those foreign devils. ”
..................
Bishop Smith was a very gentle man on the surface, with a cross on his chest and a Bible in his hand, and a smile on his face, as if he had really come to deliver the gospel of God.
In fact, Bishop Smith was a very shady and terrible man.
Previously missionary in Europe, those who did not believe in God (mainly scientists, thinkers. Almost all of them were humanely destroyed by Bishop Smith.
Seeing Zheng Zhilong, Smith did not show aggressiveness, but asked gently, "Lord Zheng, this time I came with God's will and the goodwill of the East India Company. Previously, there were some misunderstandings between the East India Company and the Zheng family......"
Zheng Sen next to him said: "Lord Bishop, this matter, I'm afraid it's not just a misunderstanding. More than a dozen truckloads, as well as tens of thousands of civilians, were all looted by the East India Company. The trade between our Zheng family and the East India Company was cut off, and although the losses were heavy, the losses of the East India Company were not small. I hope the Bishop will give an explanation. ”
Not to mention the loss is not small, after the East India Company did not trade with the Zheng family, the monthly profit suddenly decreased by sixty percent, which was simply the life of the East India Company and the Dutch royal family.
Although the Dutch also had business dealings in the Americas and Africa, those places were uncivilized and wild places, where could they be compared with the Ming Dynasty in the East?
The silk, porcelain, and tea of the Ming Dynasty were highly respected by the nobles of Europe, and as long as these materials were shipped back to Europe, it would be a huge profit.
Trade was cut off, and the East India Company was even more anxious than the Zheng family.
Zheng Zhilong nodded, agreeing with Zheng Sen's words.
"Lord Bishop, you want to resume trade, there is no problem, after all, our Zheng family is a businessman. There is money to be made, of course it must be done. But you have to show at least a little sincerity, for example, return the things you robbed before, and those people, if you can send them back, Sect Leader Chen Ji will definitely be very happy. Zheng Zhilong looked at Bishop Smith and said.
Smith sneered in his heart, returning the stolen goods? The goods had already been sold, and the money had gone into the pockets of the directors of the East India Company and the royal family.
Of course, it is impossible to spit out the fat that you eat in your mouth.
As for the tens of thousands of people who were sent to Europe, all of them were working as slaves on farms and workshops, it was equally impossible to release them.
Europeans have a pathological attachment to the most wealth-seeking, and whoever tries to prevent them from getting rich will destroy them. Even if God wants to stop it, they will not hesitate to pick up their knives and guns and fight with God.
Bishop Smith shook his head and said, "Lord Zheng, I have said that everything in the past was a misunderstanding, and it will never happen again in the future." As long as trade resumed, the East India Company would be able to trade fairly. ”
Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't be the master of this matter, I need Sect Leader Chen Ji to nod and agree." ”
Hearing Chen Ji's name, Bishop Smith's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "Sect Master Chen Ji's name, I have heard of it in Europe. It is said that he is the top powerhouse in the entire Eastern world, I wonder if I can go and meet him?"
Zheng Sen said: "The sect leader is not in Fujian, and it will take a while to come back. Besides, what kind of identity does the sect leader have, can anyone see it?"
Zheng Sen has a bit of the potential to be angry, from the beginning, he didn't like this Bishop Smith, and always felt that he was very hypocritical.
Smith nodded and said, "Zheng Gongzi is right, if you want to see Sect Leader Chen Ji, there will be opportunities in the future." In that case, then I will take my leave. I hope that Master Zheng can contact Sect Master Chen Ji as soon as possible, after all, time is money. ”
After Smith left, there was a cracking sound in the chair he was sitting in.
"Bang!"
Eventually, the chair was blown up with a strange force, and sawdust shot out in all directions like a hidden weapon.
"Dad, be careful. ”
Zheng Sen let out a loud shout and stood in front of Zheng Zhilong. Fortunately, the strength of the sawdust was not very large, and Zheng Sen was not seriously injured.
Smith didn't use any internal strength and qi from beginning to end, and he was able to attach his strength to the chair and then explode, which was very extraordinary. At least Ao Bai and Luo Ping can't do it if they don't apply their internal strength.
Zheng Zhilong's face turned pale and said, "Da Mu, the East India Company is not good at coming this time." Also, Smith is a barbarian, which is not simple. His strength may not be worse than that of Sect Master Chen Ji. ”
Zheng Sen didn't like to hear this: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? The sect leader is the top powerhouse in the martial arts world, and he will be the candidate for the leader of the martial arts alliance in the future, how can it be compared to this Smith?"
Zheng Sen felt that in the world, except for the innate martial artist of the White Crane Dao Chief, Chen Ji was the strongest. The more he came into contact with Chen Ji, the more Zheng Sen felt that Chen Ji was unfathomable.
Zheng Zhilong said: "Okay, let's not talk about it, let's send someone to Taiwan to inform Sect Leader Chen Ji as soon as possible." ”
........................
Chen Ji lived a very idle time during this time, and all the affairs in the sect were handed over to Zhang Mingyue and Wang Jiang and others, and he rarely cared about it anymore.
The shackles of mundane things have a great impact on cultivation. Only by letting go of everything can the mind be emptied, and the spirit can slowly become full.
In these days in Taiwan, in addition to retreat, Chen Ji went to work in the fields with the White Crane Taoist and went up to the mountains to collect medicine. Chen Ji's martial arts did not become stronger, but his realm increased.
Using qi to control the sword, Chen Ji has already used it proficiently, and in terms of swordsmanship, it is impossible to improve it in a short period of time.
"I have comprehended the use of qi to control the sword, which has greatly increased the power of Tianyan's swordsmanship, but if I want to win the championship in the martial arts conference and become the leader of the martial arts alliance, it is still a bit choking. Chen Ji knows that there are some things that cannot be forced. Especially in practice, doing is doing, and not doing is not working. There is no such thing as a fluke. As long as you lose, your skills are inferior, and there is nothing to say.
After dinner, Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue went out for a walk together.
Zhang Mingyue said: "Xianggong, Wang Xu's task was completed, he personally sent the invitation to Dolgon's hands, and came back alive. ”
Chen Ji nodded and said, "That's good." Let Wang Xu come to Taiwan, and let him do it. What I promised him, I, the sect leader, can't break my word. ”
Zhang Mingyue said: "There is one more thing. The people of the East India Company returned. They went to Fujian, met Zheng Zhilong, and hoped to get back into business. Also, this time it was not a papal knight who came, but a bishop named Smith. ”
"Tell Zheng Zhilong that the trade matter will be handled by himself. Chen Ji said, "Within half a year, it is impossible for me to deal with business matters, because I have to compete for the leader of the martial arts alliance, and I can't be distracted." ”
Chen Ji had to destroy Dolgon's "forbidden arms" plan before dealing with other things.
