While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Wang Dali complaining with the smell of alcohol: "Those thieves are usually very capable, why don't they turn Persia upside down? What a coward!"
Upon hearing this, Jackson nodded in agreement: "That's right, it would be great if they were more powerful! In this way, even if Abbas II returns, he will still mess up Persia. In this way, we can Easily occupy the Persian Gulf! Opening up trade routes is half the battle!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and said with emotion: "If those bandits can have new guns and cannons, they will definitely be able to fight against Abbas II!"
"Don't you have one?" After hearing this, Wang Dali burped and said casually, and then went to eat food and drink again.
When Jackson heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then stared at Wang Dali and asked quickly, "Master Baihu, I didn't hear what you said just now. Can you say it again?"
"What?" Wang Dali heard this and said casually, "What did I say? I didn't say anything, right?"
Then, he drank it in one gulp, then smacked his lips and said, "What kind of bird wine is this? It has no punch at all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a wine burp, and then he went to pour the wine again!
Jackson refused to let go and quickly stared at Wang Dali and continued: "Did Mr. Baihu just say that we have new artillery? Does this mean that we can sell those new guns to the bandits?"
"Did I say anything?" Wang Dali heard this and began to pretend to be stupid.
When Jackson heard this, he immediately became anxious. He moved the wine glass in front of Wang Dali a little bit, and quickly said to Wang Dali in a very sincere tone: "My Lord Baihu, please give me a message. Did you just say , can we sell new guns and guns to those bandits?"
If he could sell new guns and guns to those rogue thieves, Jackson would be absolutely sure that the combat power of those rogue thieves would be greatly improved. What is certain at present is that the Persian Empire’s army still has the same firearms as before. The range and accuracy of this new gun will definitely cause great losses to the Persian army.
As a result, there will definitely be chaos in Persia, and even Abbas II will not be able to do anything about it, at least in the short term.
Then, this meets the Ming Dynasty's requirement to send troops, and the trade route to the Mediterranean can be opened as soon as possible.
However, those thieves were Ming thieves. Although they had gone to Persia, they were still wanted criminals by the Ming court. Portugal doesn't have the guts to sell new guns and cannons to those thieves. Otherwise, if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was harmed, how could a mere business road be able to make up for it!
However, if the sale of new guns and cannons to those bandits was authorized by Ming Dynasty, then there would be no problem! It was also the case that he would repeatedly question this Jinyiwei Baihu.
Wang Dali reached for his wine glass, then turned to look at Jackson, who looked anxious and worried, and said with the smell of alcohol: "Actually, let me tell you this..."
Upon hearing this, Jackson immediately listened. He knew that what this Jinyiwei Baihu said next would be very important.
Just listen to Wang Dali say to him: "On our side, from the governor general to the ordinary soldiers, they all want to fight and expand the territory and make contributions. However, if we don't fight now, no one will be able to Credit, don’t you think?”
Jackson heard a good sign and immediately said excitedly: "Yes, yes..."
"There's more!" Wang Dali burped, and then continued, "As for the court, many people actually don't care who you sell the new guns to, as long as you can give them enough money, that's it. That’s ok.”
When Jackson saw it, he quickly went to get the wine bottle and quickly filled Wang Dali's glass. Then he continued to look at Wang Dali expectantly, waiting for his next words.
Wang Dali stretched out his hand and patted Jackson's shoulder, a little hard. He could feel that he had lost control after drinking too much. He continued to say to Jackson: "If you don't blatantly sell new guns and cannons to thieves, just give me Daming's account. Come on, who will bother to find out who you sold to? Our army won’t, let alone the princes in the court. They are so far away, and just recognizing the money is enough!”
Having said this, Wang Dali went to drink again.
Jackson was pleasantly surprised and felt that this made sense.
After all, this place is too far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty. Who wants to just stay there after traveling so far!
As for the Ming Dynasty, the meaning was actually given before. Spain had massacred people of the Ming Dynasty before and was also an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. But Lisbon sold all the new guns and steam paddle-wheel warships to Spain. In the end, the Ming Emperor did not convict and expressed his understanding.
According to this logic, the new guns and cannons were quietly sold to the bandits. Even if the Ming Emperor knew about it in the future, it could be explained that it was all for the purpose of opening this trade route as soon as possible, so as to bring Portugal and the suzerain country closer. It’s also Portugal’s way of protecting itself!
Thinking of this, Jackson was filled with joy and quickly confirmed to Wang Dali: "Is this serious?"
A wine burp hit Jackson's face. Wang Dali said with the smell of alcohol: "I treat you as a friend, so I will tell you what's in my heart. If you don't believe it, forget it. Just pretend I didn't say it!"
Then he went to drink again.
Jackson wiped his face and was very excited. When he was about to say something else, he saw Wang Dali couldn't sit still and got under the table.
When he saw it, he hurriedly helped Wang Dali and arranged for him to rest.
"This wine has no taste. It won't be a problem if you drink it again, right?" Wang Dali shouted as he was placed in the guest room to rest.
Jackson settled him down, exited the room, and immediately smiled cheerfully and said to himself: "Wine is wine, you think it is sweet water! Haha, after taking out these Mingren's inner words, these wines are finally gone. Drink for free, haha..."
But he didn't know that when there was no one in the room, Wang Dali, who was snoring with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, showed a sneer, and then closed his eyes again.
His visit to Goa this time was nominally to inspect the expansion of Goa. In fact, his most important task was to reveal what was going on to Jackson. This is a secret order directly from Duke Xingguo. It is necessary to use the Portuguese to strengthen the bandits and continue to turn this place upside down, so as to facilitate the court's operations in the Middle East!
Only through the greedy Portuguese to contact the bandits and manipulate this matter, whether it is now or in future generations, can we put the disaster caused by the bandits away from the Ming Dynasty.
As for the bandits escaping from the Ming Dynasty, that is not the original intention of the Ming Dynasty. If they want to escape, what can they do?
……………………
The next day, Wang Dali got up. After meeting Jackson, he complained: "This wine tastes sweet, but it has such a strong stamina. It's really strange!"
"Haha!" When Jackson heard this, he said with a smile, "Master Baihu drinks a lot. If it were anyone else, with this amount, he would have been lying down long ago! Anyway, I really admire Master Baihu's drinking capacity. It's amazing, amazing!"
At this point, when he wanted to say something, suddenly, Wang Dali pulled him aside to prevent others from approaching, and then asked in a low voice: "Did I say something that I shouldn't have said when I was drunk yesterday?" talk?"
When Jackson heard this, he laughed in his heart. When he was about to speak, he heard Wang Dali wave his hand casually again and said in a low voice: "Forget it, I don't want to hear it anymore. Anyway, I drank too much yesterday and I don't remember what I said. Now, I won’t recognize anything you want to say!”
"..." Jackson was speechless upon hearing this.
"What, do you have any objections?" When Wang Dali saw him like this, he couldn't help but shout, "Could it be that you were trying to get me drunk yesterday for some other reason?"
"Ah..." Jackson was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, absolutely not!"
After Wang Dali heard this, he patted Jackson on the shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if it doesn't happen! It's fine if it doesn't happen!"
Then, he seemed to still have a headache, shook his head and said: "Goa has done a good job, I will go back and report it to the commander-in-chief."
It was time to leave, and Jackson was happy in his heart. After all, he was here to supervise and inspect the work. Who would want to have such a person!
At this moment, Wang Dali suddenly patted him on the shoulder again and said earnestly: "I don't care about things here. I hope there will be good news in Gaolangbu soon!"
On the surface, this refers to the expansion of Goa. But, in fact, Jackson heard that it meant something else!
Thinking like this, he saw Wang Dali striding away and quickly caught up with him. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Wang Dali suddenly stop again, stared into his eyes and said, "Do you still have that wine? How many boxes? , I’ll bring Gao Langbu back to honor the superiors. If I make a little mistake, I believe the superiors won’t trouble me, don’t you think?”
"Ah?" Jackson was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. When he came to his senses, he quickly echoed, "That's right, that's right!"
In the end, Wang Dali left with five boxes of wine.
On the dock, seeing Ming's warships getting further and further away, Jackson no longer had any scruples. Because with the departure of Wang Dali, there is no one in Goa, and there are many things that can be done!
Although Wang Dali did not admit it, Jackson felt that what he said was very reasonable. After thinking about it, everyone in the Ming Dynasty actually cares about military achievements or money. So, what does it matter about selling new guns and cannons to bandits?
Thinking about this, Jackson felt that he could still write a letter back to the mainland. Regardless of whether the Dutch offended the Ming Dynasty and Portugal themselves, as long as he could afford the money, he could still sell it!
