Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

So Zhu Heqi learned a few words of "old English" from Ji Dabao on the pier today, and now he speaks them in a correct way, and they really have "linguistic talent"!

After greeting the three Englishmen in "old English", Zhu and Qi called Ji Dabao up as an "interpreter"—Charlie Goff could speak Chinese, but Smith and Jones could not, and their "interpreter" Old English", Zhu and Qi struggled to listen, so they could only rely on the translator.

Of course, he would also say a few words at critical moments. For example, after exchanging greetings, he enthusiastically grabbed Charlie Goff's wrist and said in old English with a smile: "Dog Rabbit Army, Dog Rabbit Army Guest... Leterus dog!"

Sailors in the [-]th century were all drunkards - fresh water preservation is a big problem these days, so sailors who have been wandering at sea for many years can use wine instead of water.And because there is no pasteurization method, low-alcohol wine is easy to spoil. They usually drink [-]-[-]-degree rum as water!

So now when they heard that there were "military guests", all of them became addicted to alcohol, and they didn't suspect fraud. They all went to the "wine field" that had been prepared a long time ago with Zhu and Qi... No matter how far they went, they could smell the strong aroma of rum.

The aroma of this rum is basically blended out, and Zhu Heqi's ability to blend fragrance and extract aromatic essential oils, in today's seventeenth century, is definitely the best in the world!

So a group of British drunkards smelled it, and they walked a little faster, almost jogging to the table.

Charlie Gough, Smith, Jones, the three oceans, and Ji Dabao all joined Zhu Heqi at the main table in a warehouse.

The table is already full of wine and dishes, and there is also a large sea bowl. Use this bowl to drink strong rum. If you drink less alcohol, just pour it in one bowl, and you don’t need Datura flower essential oil!

As soon as the host and guest were seated, Zhu and Qi didn't say much, but said to Su Zhanshan, a good disciple who was waiting beside him, with a bold face: "Zhanshan, serve good wine!"

This is a signal!

The so-called good wine is fine rum with Datura essential oil added!

"Order!"

Su Zhanshan responded, and then brought up a big wine jar with two of his subordinates. He was personally responsible for Zhu Heqi, and accompanied by Dao Barong, Zhuge Junshi, Pang Eunuch, and Ji Dabao at the same table. The wine, of course, is the normal version of rum without additives.And another young soldier prepared extra rum, and gave each of the three foreigners a bowl of sea.

Zhu Hexi stood up, picked up the sea bowl, and said loudly: "Cheers... Chase! Chase!"

As soon as I said that, I came to do my best!

The three foreigners saw that Zhu and Qi were so forthright, so of course they didn't pretend to be polite, they all picked up their own bowls and drank in big gulps.

This wine is really nothing to talk about. It was adjusted by Zhu Heqi according to the standard of Cuban strong dark rum. It is really fragrant and full-bodied.

Charlie Gough, Smith, and Jones each drank a large bowl of wine, and after a while they were already dizzy, and they all felt that their eyelids were getting heavier... Really, really sleepy!

Chapter 113 Grandson Zhu San, do you want to offend the whole world?

Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep!

The foreign barbarians in the "wine field" can't drink enough today!After drinking two or three bowls of strong rum with a high concentration of Mongolian sweat medicine, they were all poured down.

But that half-foreigner Nicholas Ji Dabao is enjoying Chinese treatment today, instead of drinking rum with datura flower essential oil, he drinks ordinary Chaozhou dark rum.He was not a sailor, but a comprador, so he didn't hold much alcohol, so he didn't drink too much. He only took a sip, but he still suspected that he was drunk.

"Why, it's all down... Mister Goff, Mister Smith, Mister Jones, wake up!"

He's still screaming there!But how strong is the effect of datura essential oil, why did it wake up so quickly?

Just as he was yelling, two gunshots of "bang bang" suddenly came from his ears!The gunshot was not particularly loud, indicating that it came from a distance.And if he could hear it, it meant that it was very quiet in the "drinking place" at the moment, he was the only one yelling, and the others were either confused or waiting for Zhu Heqi to give the order to get the people.

Ji Dabao finally came to his senses, stopped yelling, but turned his head and looked at Zhu Hechi with horror on his face, and when he spoke again, his voice trembled.

"Shi, Shizi, what have you done?"

Zhu Heqian just smiled lightly, glanced at the seventeenth-century comprador, and said with a smile, "Ji Erban, don't panic, the lonely family just put Mongolian sweat medicine in the Mingchun wine that these English people drink."

"Come on, take the sweat medicine? You, what do you want to do?"

Zhu Hechi smiled, but before he could answer, a person walked in quickly outside the warehouse, it was Zhu Heqi's thug apprentice Zhao Hongkui. The battleship No. 21 is already under the complete control of Jinyi's army... The [-] black and white crew members who remained on board were all captured, and none escaped, and no one was injured on either side."

It turned out that the two gunshots just now were Zhao Hongkui who ignited two firecrackers and gave the order to the pro-army soldiers in Jinyi who pretended to deliver wine and food on board.

At that time, the sailors on the ship had already started eating meat and drinking alcohol. Those who drank too much were already knocked down, and those who drank less were too dizzy to resist. Only a few black slaves who were not qualified to drink resisted. , but was quickly subdued by Jinyi pro-army soldiers.

After listening to Zhao Hongkui's report, Zhu Heqi burst out laughing, "Good job! I'll give you a first credit, and the brothers who boarded the ship and captured people will get two credits!"

"Thank you, son!"

Zhu Hechi waved his hand, "Hong Kui, hurry back to the ship, first lift all the downed foreigners and lock them into prison cells, and then wait for the Qiu family's sailors to take over the warship."

"Order!"

Zhao Hongkui got the order, saluted, then turned and left quickly.

Zhu Heqi turned to Qiu Rong beside him and said, "Brother Rong, I'm sorry!"

Qiu Rong's face was full of astonishment. Before, Zhu Heqi only told him to "cheat" the Yang Yi of the British East India Company, but he didn't expect that he would throw a grand banquet and turn over the Yang Yi and rob him.

This matter... is it a bit over?

Seeing that Qiu Rong was still in a daze, Zhu Heqi's expression darkened, and his tone became extremely severe, "Why are you in a daze? Go!"

"Decree!" Qiu Rong didn't know what was wrong now, but he was a little afraid of Zhu Heqi. Seeing him lose his temper, he quickly took the order to summon his own sailors—Zhu Heqi had told him a long time ago, let him Gather a group of sailors who can drive soft sailing ships.

Although Qiu Hui didn't have soft sailing ships in his hands, he had several old lock ships with Chinese-style hard sails on the western hulls, and there were also many Chinese sailors who had worked on ships of the British East India Company, so he could Barely piloting the Great Eastern.

Of course, if Captain Smith and the English sailors on the Great Eastern were willing to help steer the ship, it would be more secure, so Zhu and Qi didn't let Ji Dabao be turned off.

After dismissing Zhao Hongkui and Qiu Rong, Zhu Heqi began to look at Ji Dabao, the Chinese second class of the British East India Company.

The so-called big class is actually the manager in charge of trading and the store manager on the merchant ship, and the second class is the deputy manager.It is not an unattainable position, but it is not easy for a Chinese born in the Philippines to climb to this position.

At this time, Ji Dabao was also staring at Zhu Heqi with his eyes wide open. The emotions in his eyes were very complicated, including fear, shock, and regret... Of course, there was also a little contempt!

Yes, it is contempt!

I despise Zhu Heqi's behavior!

Using Mongolian sweat medicine to deal with guests from afar is definitely not the work of heroes!

Ji Dabao originally thought that Zhu Santai, who was very good at fighting, and who also had Zhuge Liang's direct descendants as assistants and a mysterious and powerful gunpowder, would be someone... But he didn't expect that this person would actually use such indiscriminate methods as Mongolian sweat medicine .

But what disappointed Ji Dabao the most was Zhu Heqi's ignorance - as an emperor, bad character is not the fatal weakness, ignorance is the most fatal, especially in this Western powers are booming, while the Eastern In a world of great changes, the ancient countries are declining one after another.

If Zhu Heqi could open his eyes to see the world and become friends with great powers like England, Holland, Portugal, and Spain, he might be able to make a fortune with the help of his Western friends.

But now he actually used Mongolian sweat medicine to rob the British East India Company... Does he know the consequences of doing so?

This is simply nonsense!

The two looked at each other like this, and the atmosphere in the warehouse became more and more gloomy.

Suddenly, Zhu Heqi spoke to break the silence.

"Ji Dabao," Zhu Heqi said, "I have already drafted a letter to King Charles II of England, explaining the reasons and circumstances for requisitioning the armed merchant ship Great Eastern and its entire crew to raid Macau... Can you Is it translated into English?"

"What? Suddenly, raid Macau?" Ji Da Bao Teng jumped up, "You, are you crazy?"

"Bold!"

"rude!"

Immediately, the young Jinyiwei soldiers guarding Zhu Heqi roared.

Zhu Heyi just waved his hands generously to calm down the excitement, and then pointed to Ji Dabao's seat, "Sit down and talk."

Ji Dabao was not too polite, and sat down immediately, but his brows were still frowned, and he shook his head again and again, "My lord, the Fortress of Macau is a fortress that is even more powerful than the city of Rejalan... It doesn't take a few months. The siege can't be defeated at all! And if you attack the city of Macau, you will offend Portugal to death!"

Zhu Heqi smiled and said: "Whose land is Macau? Who allowed them to live in Macau and exercise autonomy? Have the Portuguese soldiers in Macau fulfilled their obligations as vassals of the Ming Dynasty in the past 20 years? And No! So I will take it back and expel all the Portuguese who are unwilling to serve me. I am not afraid of offending the Portuguese country!"

"But the Kingdom of England is a staunch ally of Portugal!" Ji Dabao said, "My lord, the Kingdom of England is now the number one power in the West!"

Zhu Hechi just smiled, "I'm not afraid!"

"There are also Holland and Spain..." Ji Dabao said, "Guo Xing Ye took Taiwan and offended the Dutch to death. And the Spaniards have been at odds with Daming and Guo Xing Ye. They even killed us a few years ago. Tens of thousands!"

Speaking of Tu Hua who was a Spaniard in the Philippines, looking at the gentle Ji Dabao, he gritted his teeth.

His family was originally the top Chinese businessman in Manila, but the result...it's really unbearable!

Zhu Heyi shrugged, "Isn't it England, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal? It's still halfway to the Eight-Nation Allied Forces! Will the lonely family be afraid of them?"

Yeah, what's there to be afraid of?There is no great country, no great country, no France and Germany, not even a Japanese country.

Ji Dabao was speechless, England, Holland, Spain and Portugal plus one piece, that is half the world!

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty, which occupies [-]% of the Chinese world together with Zhu and Qi, is also an enemy!

This guy is really not afraid of making enemies!

Zhu Heqi stood up, walked up to Ji Dabao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Please help me draft an English letter first, and then tell them what I mean when Gao Fu, Smith, and Jones wake up... I have forcibly used their ships and sailors. If they are willing to cooperate, I will give them and the East India Company corresponding compensation after the matter is completed, and I will also issue a certificate. If Charles II wants to fight me for this matter One game, after I defeat him, the business can continue!"

After finishing speaking, he left with a few young soldiers!

Chapter 114 Saying You Have It, You Better Really Have It!

"No! We cannot cooperate with this group of Eastern bandits!"

"That's right! They are breaking the internationally recognized rules, and they are trying to seize Macau, our Portuguese ally... and they are also using the ships and flags of the British East India Company as a cover to launch a sneak attack. Such behavior is also against the Kingdom of England Violation!"

"Yes! This is an act of war against the Kingdom of England! It cannot be forgiven!"

"Punishment must be carried out. The Chinese prince who dared to offend the dignity of the Kingdom of England must be arrested and hanged!"

On the edge of Dahao Port, in a low-rise bungalow surrounded by brocade-clothed corps, Captain Smith from England and Daban Jones from the East India Company, who also came from England, let out waves of roars.

The effect of the Mongolian sweat medicine has passed. When I woke up, I found that I had been imprisoned by the Chinese and lost the two people on the Great Eastern. Of course, I was very angry.

Though they were pretty much pirates themselves... and robbed by others too!But the ones who robbed them before were all privateers from the Netherlands or the Spanish Netherlands, and that was all a matter between the white-skinned brothers.

But this time, they were robbed by despicable, sinister and ignorant Orientals!

This is so humiliating!

However, there were three foreigners locked in this room, and only two were shouting and killing. Charlie Gough, the boss of the British East India Company's trading house in Chaozhou, just sat on a chair with a blank expression on his face. Not a word!

"Charlie!" Watching the hot-tempered red-necked captain Smith lose his temper for a while, he suddenly found someone inconsistent with him, and immediately transferred his anger to him, "Why don't you speak? Is it because you are afraid?"

Charlie Goff glanced at Captain Smith, showing a worried expression, "Mike, I am as angry as you, I promise God! And I am still investigating the more serious crimes committed by this Chinese prince!"

"What, he has more serious crimes?" asked Redneck Captain Smith.

"Of course there is, and that's the use of black magic!" said Charlie Gough. "He's probably using some kind of evil magic to enhance the power of gunpowder!"

"Charlie, are you joking?" Daban Jones looked a little surprised.

"Is there really such a thing?" Captain Smith said with a puzzled expression, "Charlie, didn't your letter to the company say 'maybe'?"

Charlie Goff frowned deeply: "Yes, but with further investigation, there may be... Maybe it will become real!"

Maybe black magic is a very serious sin, it is against God, and deserves to be burned!

But if there is black magic, and if it is exclusively owned...then it must be taught by God himself!

So it's not a sin, but a manifest destiny!

"God!"

"Lord! It's not true, is it?"

Both Smith and Jones are praying to God!

Charlie Gough took another look at the comprador Ji Dabao who was standing at the door, his face full of righteous indignation, "Nicholas, have you discovered anything new these days?"

"There are some," Ji Dabao replied, "Mr. Goff, what is certain now is that this kind of super gunpowder is real... and its power is even greater than what we originally imagined, but it's hard to say if it's not black magic." gone."

"How big is it?" Smith asked quickly.

"A two- or three-pound mine is enough to blow a hole in a brick wall a foot thick, or in a dirt wall two feet thick!"

"Is this true?" Smith was still not convinced. "Is it possible?"

"I saw it with my own eyes! And I saw it more than once... In order to mobilize the villagers near Jieyang County to join his rebel group, the third grandson of Zhu has been carrying his magic mine bombing activities between towns during this time, publicly displaying mine bombing power!"

"How to show it publicly?"

"Will it be a lie?"

The two foreigners, Smith and Jones, still don't quite believe it.

Ji Dabao replied: "The third grandson of Zhu will let his subordinates use a small bomb to insert a small bomb on the wall of a thick and strong wall to ignite... The so-called wall is a kind of building similar to a Western castle. The wall is so thick that it can even withstand the bombardment of small-caliber artillery! Because of the population reduction caused by the war, there are many abandoned walled castles in Chaozhou. The third prince Zhu will use the method of blasting through the outer wall to show the power of magic gunpowder. power!

I can swear in the name of Jesus, I have seen him blast a mine through a solid wall! "

The oath in the name of Jesus cannot be taken carelessly. If you cheat in the name of Jesus, you will definitely go to hell after death, even if you are buried with an antique indulgence issued more than 100 years ago in your pocket, it is useless.

So Smith and Jones already believed in Ji Dabao.

At this time, Ji Dabao made a very serious suggestion: "Mr. Smith, Mr. Gough, Mr. Jones, I suggest that we can pretend to cooperate, and then carefully observe how the army of the third grandson of Zhu attacked Macau... If they really have black magic , then it will definitely be used when attacking Macau!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Redneck Smith nodded repeatedly, "This is indeed an opportunity! If he really has it, then the British East India Company must reconsider its cooperation with him."

If the third prince Zhu really has black magic!Then the British East India Company will have to kneel down to make money... money is always earned!
