Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep!
The foreigners in the "drinking shop" are not very drunk today! After two or three bowls of strong rum mixed with a high concentration of sweat medicine, they all fell down.
But that half-foreign man Nicholas Ji Dabao was enjoying the treatment of the Chinese today. He was drinking ordinary Chaozhou black rum instead of rum with Datura flower essential oil added. He was not a sailor, just a comprador, so he didn't drink much, so he didn't drink much. He just took a small sip, but he still suspected that he was drunk.
"Why, why are they all down...Mister Goff, Mister Smith, Mister Jones, wake up!"
He was still shouting there! But the effect of datura flower essential oil is so strong, why did you wake up so quickly?
Just as he was yelling, two gunshots suddenly sounded in his ears! The gunshot was not particularly loud, indicating that it came from a distance. And that he could hear it meant that the "drinking place" was very quiet at the moment. He was the only one shouting, and the others were either upset or waiting for Zhu Heji to give the order to take people away.
Ji Dabao finally came to his senses and stopped shouting. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Heji in horror. When he spoke again, his voice trembled.
"Shi, Shizi, what have you done?"
Zhu Heji just smiled faintly, glanced at the comprador from the 17th century, and said with a smile: "Class 2 Ji, don't panic, the Gu family just added Mongolian sweat medicine to the Ming Dynasty wine they drank for these English people."
"Excuse me, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Heji smiled, and before he could answer, a person walked quickly outside the warehouse. It was Zhu Heji's thug apprentice Zhao Hongkui. He strode up to Zhu Heji, cupped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, Great Eastern The battleship No. 1 was already under the complete control of Jinyi's troops... The twenty-one black and white crew members who remained on the ship were all captured, none escaped, and no one on both sides was injured."
It turned out that the two gunshots just now were caused by Zhao Hongkui lighting two firecrackers and giving orders to the Jinyi soldiers who were pretending to deliver wine and food to the boat.
At that time, all the sailors left behind on the ship had begun to eat meat and drink alcohol. Those who drank too much were 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 soldiers.
Zhu Heji burst out laughing after listening to Zhao Hongkui's report, "Well done! I will give you a first credit, and the brothers who boarded the boat to take the person will also receive a second credit!"
"Thank you, Sir!"
Zhu Heji waved his hand and said, "Hongkui, hurry back to the ship. First carry all the fallen foreigners down and put them in the prison cell, and then wait for the Qiu family's sailors to take over the warship."
"Got the order!"
Zhao Hongkui received the order, bowed, turned around and left quickly.
Zhu Heji turned to Qiu Rong next to him and said, "Brother Rong, you're done!"
Qiu Rong's face was full of surprise. Zhu Heji had only told him before that he wanted to "cheat" the foreigners from the British East India Company, but he didn't expect that he actually held a Hongmen banquet, turned over the foreigners and robbed them.
Is this... a bit much?
When Zhu Heji saw that Qiu Rong was still in a daze, his face darkened and his tone of voice became extremely stern, "Why are you dazed? Go quickly!"
"Got the order!" Qiu Rong didn't know what was going on now, but he was actually a little afraid of Zhu Heji. When he saw him getting angry, he quickly took the order to summon his sailors - Zhu Heji had already told him to let him Assemble a group of sailors who can sail Western soft sailing ships.
Although Qiu Hui does not have a Western soft sailing ship, he does have several old lock ships with Western hulls and Chinese-style hard sails, and there are also many Chinese sailors who have worked on the ships of the British East India Company, so he can Barely piloting the Great Eastern.
Of course, it would be safer if Captain Smith and the English sailors on the Great Eastern were willing to help steer the ship, so Zhu Heji did not let anyone upset Ji Dabao.
After sending away Zhao Hongkui and Qiu Rong, Zhu Heji began to take a closer look at Ji Dabao, the Chinese second class of the British East India Company.
The so-called top class is actually the manager responsible for transactions and the store manager on the merchant ship, while the second class is the deputy manager. It’s not an unattainable position, but it’s still not easy for a Chinese-American born in the Philippines to climb to this position.
Ji Dabao was also looking at Zhu Heji with wide eyes at this time. The emotions in his eyes were very complicated, including fear, shock, regret... and of course, a little contempt!
Yes, it is contempt!
I despise Zhu Heji as a person!
Using Mongolian sweat medicine to deal with visitors from afar is definitely not something a hero would do!
Ji Dabao originally thought that this grandson of Zhu San, who was very capable of fighting, and had Zhuge Liang's direct descendants as assistants and a mysterious and powerful gunpowder, would be a figure... But he didn't expect that this person actually used the Mongolian sweat medicine to kill him like this Abuseful means.
But what disappointed Ji Dabao the most was Zhu Heji's ignorance - as an emperor, bad character is not a fatal weakness, ignorance is the most fatal, especially in this era when Western powers are booming and Eastern powers are booming. In the era of great changes, ancient countries are declining one after another.
If Zhu Heji could open his eyes to see the world and become friends with great powers such as England, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain, he might be able to achieve success with the help of his Western friends.
But now he actually used sweating pills to rob the British East India Company...Does he know the consequences of doing this?
This is absolutely random!
The two people just looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the warehouse became increasingly depressed.
Suddenly, Zhu Heji spoke and broke the silence.
"Ji Dabao," Zhu Heji said, "I have drafted a letter to King Charles II of England explaining the reasons and circumstances for requisitioning the Great Eastern armed merchant ship and its entire crew for a raid on Macau... .Can you translate this into English?”
"What? A surprise attack on Macau?" Ji Dabaoteng jumped up immediately, "Are you crazy?"
"Be bold!"
"rude!"
Immediately, the young soldiers of the Jinyi Guard who were guarding Zhu Heji began to roar.
Zhu Heji just waved his hand magnanimously to keep the people below him from getting excited, and then pointed to Ji Dabao's seat with his hand, "Sit down and talk."
Ji Dabao was not polite and sat down immediately, but his eyebrows were still knitted together, and he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Macau Fortress is a better fortress than Rechelan City...No After several months of siege, it is impossible to defeat it! And if you attack Macau, you will offend Portugal to death!"
Zhu Heji 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 twenty years? ? No! So I want to 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 Portugal's staunch ally!" Ji Dabao said, "Sir, the Kingdom of England is now the leading Western power!"
Zhu Heji just smiled, "I'm not afraid!"
"There are also the Netherlands and Spain..." Ji Dabao said, "The Dutch were offended to death when Guo Xingye took over Taiwan. And the Spanish have always been at odds with the Ming Dynasty and Guo Xingye. A few years ago, they also Kill tens of thousands of us!"
Speaking of the Spaniards' Tu Hua in the Philippines, it was rare for Ji Dabao to gnash his teeth when he saw the gentle and gentle man.
His family was originally one of the top Chinese businessmen in Manila, but the result... was really unbearable!
Zhu Heji shrugged, "Isn't it just England, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal? We are still halfway to an eight-nation coalition! Will the Gu family be afraid of them?"
Yes, what is there to be afraid of? There is no big beautiful country, no big hairy country, no France and Germany, not even a Japanese country.
Ji Dabao was speechless. If you add England, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal together, that would be half the world!
Moreover, the Qing Dynasty, which Zhu and Ji together occupied 95% of the Chinese world, was also an enemy!
This guy is really not afraid of making enemies!
Zhu Heji stood up, walked to Ji Dabao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "First help me draft an English letter. Then when Gough, Smith, and Jones wake up, you can tell them what I mean..." ....I have forcibly used their ships and sailors. If they are willing to cooperate, then after the incident is completed, I will compensate them and the East India Company accordingly, and I will also issue a certificate. If Charles II wants to do this, If you have a fight with me, then after I defeat him, business can continue!"
After saying that, he took a few young soldiers and left!
