Father Adrian was able to arrive in time to save God's people as much as possible.

In order to show his sincerity, Burgud put back two warships and six merchant ships according to the order of the prince Xiong. At the same time, of course, there are all kinds of conditions in Burgud.

Those who were left behind were the battleship Admiral, the two largest merchant ships, and seventy-eight officers, including Rear Admiral Verya.

The Netherlands was originally just a slave of Spain, and although it became independent, there was still a trace of bullying and fear of the hard in the bones of the Dutch.

Bourgud's lukewarm attitude in the last month has left Major Verya in his heart.

To be honest, there are very few people in this world who don't take their heads seriously.

Major Verya, though self-deceitful as an international trader, was in fact a fanatical colonist.

Even so, he was afraid that after going to bed one night, he would find that his head was missing the next day.

Of course, if the head is really missing, he can't find it himself, and someone else must find it.

No matter who finds out in the end, it's always a big problem to lose your head.

In the days of Major Verya's troubles, another month had passed, and it was the hottest season of the year, the middle of August.

When the middle of August came, so did Father Adrian, and even showed such enthusiasm that Bourgud stood on end.

"Oh, dear child, you are guilty. Everyone is born sinful and you must ask God for forgiveness. Amen!"

Seeing an old man in a black robe with a cross on his chest open his arms, Bourgud almost pulled out his waist knife and slashed at him.

"It's strange that you, an old guy, can speak our Central Plains official dialect. Bourgud squinted his eyes and looked at the strange man in front of him: "Am I guilty? You came here in a warship and destroyed a town with indiscriminate cannons, and that is really guilty. ”

This is a damn infidel.

Father Adrian finally understood: the man standing before him could never believe in the omnipotent God. For he feels that he is omnipotent, and that it is unforgivable to blatant the sins of God's people, Amen.

The infidels are savages, and it is easier for them to kill than to drink water.

They do not celebrate Mass, they do not pray, they do not repent, they are unforgivable.

There is no doubt that it is pointless to discuss God's omnipotence with a pagan.

Father Adrian is a civilized man and certainly not willing to do something meaningless.

He came to save God's subjects, there is no need to do useless work, or go straight to solve the problem.

"If you don't pay the ransom as I demanded, I will definitely not release them. If God himself had come, I would not have released them, but I would have cut off their heads. ”

Bulgud is really not wrong, he will neither negotiate, nor negotiate, or even revolve, he will kill.

"Poor boy, your offer is unreasonable. Father Adrian pinched the cross and said slowly: "Virya, they are here to trade, and they will definitely not bring many tools. They don't have what you propose, and that is not in accordance with the basic laws of God. ”

"Besides, the gift of God is not something that everyone can grasp, unless you know how to repent and when to pray. Only then will the Gospel of God come to you and cleanse your hearts from sin. Amen. ”

"You don't recite the scriptures to me!" Bulgud was already impatient: "If you want to say chanting, the bald monks here are all better than yours, and at least they can make me drowsy." You've been studying here for a long time, and I haven't understood a word. Everyone here recites Amitabha, so you might as well recite two sentences of Amitabha. ”

"The gunpowder formula was originally our ancestor's thing, and now you have come out to kill people, and you have killed all the people in this town, now you must hand it over to me. ”

"What method do you use to make iron and copper, and why is it different from what we have made? You must explain this to me. And what kind of lenses did you get out, our Governor Zhang said that he can read books much more clearly now. ”

"But I don't know, and you have to make it clear to me now. If our lens is broken and we can't see clearly in the future, he may not give us food and grass, and my brothers and I will go hungry. This is a matter of human life, can you do it if you don't make it clear?"

Can Bourgud say so much nonsense? Of course not.

Bourgud was a fierce general, and killing the enemy in battle was his specialty. He never thought of these contents, and he couldn't think about them, they were all taught to him by the evil Taoist Meng Fan.

Because he was afraid that he would forget it, Bourgood seized the opportunity to recite it all in one go, and almost suffocated him to death. Now that he finally finished speaking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lord Meng demanded that not a single word be said wrongly, which was much more difficult than fighting. Bourgud was still terrified.

Sending Father Adrian to visit God's subjects, Bourgud hurried to find the evil Taoist priest Meng Fan, a dog-headed military advisor, to report the results of his first meeting with the priest, and at the same time to ask what to do next.

"I've already discussed it with Lord Xu, and it doesn't matter if they agree or not. The reason why they are given a problem is to implement the next plan. ”

The evil Taoist Meng Fan really deserves the title of a dog-headed military advisor, and he actually has a whole set of methods to deal with the Westerners: "After a detailed discussion with the interpreter, we already know that the Dutch have defeated the Portuguese, but they have lost to the British, so we are very unconvinced. We seized the Portuguese and Dutch stuff, which can be exploited. ”

"Starting tomorrow, you gather a dozen of their highest-ranking people in Viya to gossip. The main point is that the Portuguese were not convinced at all when they lost to them, and they were said to be worthless. At the same time, you have to tell them that we have captured a fleet of the Portuguese. ”

"Then you will send someone to send them to the Flying Dragon Continent Naval Division Base, and let Verya and the others visit the Portuguese warship. Ke Mingji and Song Yaozu will go over together, and then desperately praise the Portuguese warships and artillery to Verya and others, and how the Dutch things are not good. ”

"The lord and Lord Zhang Yuxiu have already stimulated the Portuguese to jump in the city of Manmo, and the day after tomorrow, someone sent Philip and others over to visit the Admiral's warship, and I and Lord Xu Fengxian specially accompanied the visit, and then desperately praised how good the Dutch's warships and artillery were, and how the Portuguese warships were rubbish. ”

Bulgud suddenly realized: "Lord Meng is really clever! Soldiers will never be convinced of their enemies, and this move of Lord Meng will definitely make desperate efforts to find the enemy's weakness and then defend their reputation." In this way, we get the most direct evaluation. ”

Meng Fan smiled slightly: "Correct! After more than two months of arguing, neither the Portuguese nor the Dutch want us to know many skills." But now it will be of the greatest help to them to identify the weaknesses of their enemies. ”

"You know, only the enemy's evaluation is the most pertinent. After all, the Portuguese and the Dutch, who had fought to the death on the sea, both sank the opponent's warships, and had the most intuitive first-hand information, which is priceless and what we lacked. ”

"The Portuguese pointed out the shortcomings of the Dutch, and the Dutch pointed out the shortcomings of the Portuguese, and we don't have to leave a trace when we ask questions about size, method, and so on. Through their answers, we can comprehensively weigh the strengths and weaknesses of these two companies. Then, by combining the strengths of both companies, we can design a ship of our own. ”

The evil Taoist priest Meng Fan is a monk, and he analyzes the psychology of soldiers from the perspective of a bystander, and really has a unique opinion.

In the next half month, the Feilongzhou Navy Base and the Admiral Wangse Town held "the fiercest debate of praise and criticism" at the same time. ”

At the Feilongzhou Sailor Base, Ke Mingji and Song Yaozu desperately defended the Portuguese. And to refute the views of Verya and others from various technical angles, there is a lot of arguing.

On the battleship Admiral on the river side of Wangse Town, Meng Fan and Xu Fengxian were even more domineering, representing the Dutch to despise the Portuguese Philip as worthless.

"Captain Philip, in any case, it was this warship that defeated you, which shows that you Portuguese are not good at shipbuilding, cannon casting, seafaring technology, and campaign command. It's not that we say no, it's that the Dutch say you're all rubbish. There are so many things that we can't say. ”

This kind of "slander" and "criticism" happens every day, although Xiong Chu and Zhang Yuxiu are hiding behind the scenes, they are not watching coldly, but doing another thing.

一qiē speak with facts!

On the shore opposite Feilong Island, ten miles upstream of Wangse Town, two boat ponds have been excavated. The Manmo Town Shipyard dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals to conduct actual combat drills with the best ebony, rosewood, teak, and oak.

Dismantling the Portuguese flagship at the pond opposite Flying Dragon Island, and then building one in the pond according to the same size, the Dutchman Verya and others explained on the spot the unreasonableness of the Portuguese warship.

The same scene took place in the pond upstream of the town of Mogase, and although the battleship Admiral was not dismantled, the basic dimensions were measured from the cabin and then restored in the pond. The Portuguese Philippe pointed out many of the shortcomings of the Dutch, and at the same time explained the advantages of his own ship concept.

It was in the course of this confrontation that the bear prince actually got two warships at the same time.

The so-called sharpening of the knife does not mistake the woodcutter, this time finally showed its power.

The most important thing is that with the on-site operation demonstration of Verya, Philip and others, the officers and soldiers of the elite naval division sent by Zhong Guozhu finally completely mastered the operation of the arc soft sail.

In particular, the operation of the two masts in the bow and stern is the key to Zhong Guozhu's most inexperienced.

This time, the middle and low-level generals such as Guò Verya and Philip demonstrated it in person, and it was like waking up from a big dream and having the feeling of enlightenment.

As for artillery, anchor chain winch, and other auxiliary tools, there was a great debate, and finally focused on the new concept of "turning sand and molding".

Of course, Xiong Jiajun's craftsman camp will also turn sand and make molds, but how to select materials and how to achieve high precision have been widely discussed.

As for things like clear glass and crystal polishing, it has become a very simple question in small talk.

After all, the craftsman camp will produce glass, and now only someone needs to point out the shortcomings, and everyone suddenly understands.
