"What?" Kangxi Khan immediately jumped up when he heard this, and said through gritted teeth: "These three traitors still dare to come to Tianzhu?"
If Kangxi Khan wanted to choose the five most hated living people in the world, Zhu Heji would definitely be the first one!
Yang Qilong was ranked second - after having Confucianism and Niangan Chu, Kangxi Khan's ears and eyes finally became much better, and it turned out that Yang Qilong and Yang Xiuqing were the same person.
The three, four, and five people Kangxi hated most were undoubtedly Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong, and Wu Guogui.
Among them, Shang Zhixin not only single-handedly "brought popularity" to the third prince Zhu and the third great-grandson Zhu, but also because of his self-respect in raising the bandits, he allowed the third prince Zhu and the third great-grandson Zhu to survive the most difficult period at the beginning of the army. In addition, he also participated in the Burni Rebellion with Geng Jingzhong! He and Geng Jingzhong are Burni's internal agents in Beijing!
In addition to participating in the Burni Rebellion, Geng Jingzhong really wanted to be the emperor - this matter was also found out by Li Guangdi, the Confucian spy! Geng Jingzhong really wanted to rebel, but fortunately he was exposed by Sun Yanling and Liu Jinzhong, and was suppressed by Fuquan. But Fuquan died because of him, and Kangxi Khan "lost his head" because of this, and he was plagued with bad luck ever since!
As for Wu Guogui...Kangxi didn't regard him as one of the most hateful people at first, but this guy actually colluded with Zhu Heji to stage a fake burning of Red Cliff, and deceived most of the main force of the New Eight Banners led by Yue Le. . How hateful!
These three villains actually came to Tianzhu together. How could Kangxi not grit his teeth? He wished he could eat these three thieves alive!
Kangxi gritted his teeth for a while, suddenly remembered something, and turned around and asked: "That's not right...how did the three traitors come to Tianzhu? Did they come from the Strait of Malacca by boat? Hong Mao What does the East India Company of people do for food?”
"Long live my lord," Xiao Guizi said, "They didn't come from the sea, they came from Myanmar. It is said that the three of them followed, followed..."
"What are you following? Say it quickly!" Kangxi saw that Xiao Guizi was hesitant, so he knew something was wrong and immediately urged him.
"Long live my lord," Xiao Guizi said, "it is said that they followed Yongli to come to Burma..."
Sure enough, something strange happened!
"Yongli? Zhu Youlang?" Kangxi Khan asked again.
Xiao Guizi nodded, "The news sent back by Sticky Branch from recruiting spies from the Eight Banners said that Yongli conquered Burma... The biggest king in Burma now is King Gui."
"King Gui?" Kangxi Khan frowned, "Is Yongli not dead? Is it the fake Yongli who was strangled to death by Wu Guogui?" He stamped his feet, "No wonder Wu Sangui and Wu Guogui dared to rebel with Zhu Heji I am Qing Dynasty!"
"Great Khan!" Xiao Guizi hurriedly offered a compliment, and then said, "The spies sent by my slave to Delhi also reported that Wu Guogui had seized an armed merchant ship of the British East India Company in Mrauk U, Arakan. They also detained Lord Child, the governor of the British East India Company, for a period of time, and finally confiscated the armed merchant ship and all the goods on board!"
Kangxi Khan's eyes lit up: "Is this true? This is good news!"
Xiao Guizi didn't understand, "Long live my Lord, I don't understand..."
Kangxi smiled and said: "According to their Westerners' laws of all nations, Wu Guogui declared war on England by doing this! And England has signed alliances with many Western countries, which affects the whole body! This is really good... ....Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, the Western countries together are not weak! Even if they do not directly attack the Ming Dynasty's homeland, as long as they can interrupt the trade, they can send strong ships with sharp guns to attack the Ming Dynasty's merchant ships at sea. , which is enough for Zhu Heji, a traitor.
Xiao Guizi, send someone quickly to invite the English Ambassador William Hughes to the Khan's Palace! I want to have a serious discussion with him! "
"嗻!"
...
William Hughes was the previous governor of the British East India Company. His plan to unite with Arakan to attack Bengal and completely open up the Indian market for the British East India Company came from his plan.
However, he failed to implement this clever plan personally, so he was transferred to Kangxi Khan's side to serve as ambassador - this was not a semi-official or even a consul who fully represented the interests of the expatriates, but an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary appointed by King Charles II of England. , the status is quite high.
After Mongolia captured Afghanistan, this ambassador came to Kabul via Persia and became the general representative of the entire Western European civilization to Kangxi Khan.
Before Little Guizi's father-in-law sent someone to invite him to the Khan Palace in Kabul, he actually already knew what happened to Sir Child in Arakan - it was already March 1685, and it was not long before Child was escorted out of Mrauk-U Two months have passed since Hong Kong arrived, and the news has already reached William Hughes. .
Of course he was very angry about such a thing... This was simply a gross violation of international public law and robbery in the name of the country!
If Zhu Heji cannot come up with a solution that satisfies England - including compensating for losses, dealing with those responsible, promising not to commit the crime again, and sending people to Europe to apologize to the King of England, then he will become a public enemy of the entire civilized world. !
"Your Majesty the Great Khan, the civilized world will never condone the banditry of Zhu Heji and his men! If he cannot give a compensation and apology plan that abides by the rules of the civilized world, he will become a public enemy of the civilized world!"
In the Khan Palace in Kabul, William Hughes, who had been given a seat, was telling Kangxi Khan in fluent Latin how to become a public enemy of the civilized world!
"What? Do you expect Zhu Heji to compensate and apologize?" Kangxi Khan almost made William Hughes amused. "How can he apologize? How can he compensate? He will never apologize or compensate you... ....Because he really has dark magic!"
"He really has black magic" is a proverb about Zhu Heji. It is used to describe those cowards who talk fiercely when they encounter strong enemies, but cannot spare themselves when the trouble comes.
In the early years, didn't Zhu Heji hijack an armed merchant ship of the British East India Company and launch a surprise attack on Macau? This has stung the two big hornet's nests of England and Catholicism.
The Kingdom of England, the Catholic Church, and Portugal, which had less than half of its life left, initially clamored for war. However, after careful study, it was discovered that Zhu Heji really seemed to have "black magic"... maybe it wasn't magic. But it definitely has weapons that can make imperialism suffer big losses! So the Kingdom of England, the Catholic Church, and Portugal were all intimidated. They did not dare to start a war, but instead sent a mission to find out the basics.
After feeling the bottom out, I became even more timid... because Zhu Heji became more and more powerful!
Kangxi looked at William Hughes and said: "If you don't want to be humiliated by him, and you don't want to be led by his nose, you must make up your mind to break with him... Even if you don't send troops to go to war, you must resolutely interrupt trade. You can't No more feeding the public enemies of this civilized world with gold and silver!”
William Hughes frowned. As the former governor of the British East India Company, he certainly knew the power and growth of the Ming Empire... Power is not terrible, and growth is not terrible, but it is powerful and capable. The growing empire is really terrifying.
But it would be difficult for European countries to immediately interrupt trade with the Ming Dynasty and unite to contain the Ming Dynasty. Because European countries are not a unified whole, they are a piece of scattered sand, each with its own agenda and its own interests... Cutting off trade with the Ming Dynasty is not in line with the interests of England and the Netherlands, two European countries that are based on trade. Short-term benefits. France and the Holy Roman Empire had little interest in containing the Ming Dynasty because they did not have enough interests in the East.
As for Spain, they are very contradictory. On the one hand, they already feel threatened by the Ming Dynasty, but on the other hand, they are afraid of angering the Ming Dynasty... This will cause the immediate loss of the Philippine colony!
Thinking of this, William Hughes had to take a deep breath and said to Kangxi Khan: "Great Khan, Sir Child, the governor of the East India Company, has gone to the Ming Dynasty to negotiate... When he returns, our European countries The coalition forces should also have arrived in India. If Ming Dynasty is still unwilling to abide by the rules of the civilized world, then after conquering India, Ming Dynasty will be the next target! "
