The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 606
The tall and burly black man walking at the front of the labor force team is Zheng Zhilong's confidant Xiong Tie.

Standing beside Xiong Tie, those British soldiers glanced at the comparison between children and adults, their surprise was obvious.

In the era of Jiang Chuan in the later generations, many people had such a misunderstanding: they believed that Westerners were born taller than Chinese people, and believed that it was caused by genes.

Therefore, many wrong conclusions have been extended: for example, Westerners have stronger strength, higher speed, stronger explosive power, higher toughness, and therefore better physical strength and so on.

Even more absurd is the nonsense that the population genes of the West are superior to those of the Chinese.

The truth of the matter is just the opposite.According to the records of various ancient documents, the height of Chinese people has basically stabilized at the head of Westerners in history.

Even in the late Qing Dynasty when Chinese civilization was the weakest, the height of Chinese people can be said to be second to none in the world.

The strongest evidence is the photos taken by some Westerners in the late Qing Dynasty.

These photos are basically group photos between the soldiers of the Eight-Power Allied Forces who invaded Beijing during the Gengzi Incident and ordinary Chinese people.

It can be seen from the group photo that the Chinese people are taller than almost all other countries except Russian soldiers.

Chinese people are about the same height as German soldiers, a bit taller than American soldiers, and half a head taller than British and French soldiers.Compared with the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is even more than one head.

Compared with the short Japanese soldiers, they stand out from the crowd.

The Chinese people who appeared in these group photos were all randomly selected, and the soldiers of the Eight-Power Allied Forces were also randomly selected.

But this height comparison turned out to be universal.

The average height of Westerners surpassed that of Chinese, which was also completed in the next 100 years.

The biggest reason here is nutrition.

By the time Jiang Chuan lived, the average height of Chinese people had begun to increase substantially, and the gap with Westerners was rapidly narrowing.

So this is a strong proof that the so-called nonsense about the superiority of Western genes is the result of some people who feel inferior and have their spines broken by the weakness of modern times, so they only kneel and lick the West.

Just look at the sight before you to prove it.

Xiong Tie was born with a tall stature, and it was normal for those British soldiers to be outmatched, because his stature was also an anomaly among Zhongzhou people.

However, the other people behind Xiong Tie were generally half a head taller than these British soldiers, which was very telling.

There are enough people in the bear iron belt, so that every British ship can have a group of people.

He himself took a group of people on board the largest ship, and greeted the British soldiers warmly. Although everyone couldn't understand what the other was saying, it didn't matter.Language barrier, gestures to make up for it.

Anyway, the final result was that these British sailors clinked glasses and laughed with the men brought by Xiong Tie while hugging those prostitutes.

The beauties are good wine, coupled with Xiong Tie's persuasion, these British sailors soon became drunk and hazy.

They didn't notice that the men drinking with them didn't drink much at all.

And in order to make these British sailors get drunk faster, these wines are all added.

Therefore, in less than half an hour, all the British sailors on a dozen ships fell asleep, and each of them was so sleepy that they couldn't wake up even if they were slapped.

"Boss Tie, it's all done. Other ships have also sent signals of success." A subordinate came over and said in a low voice.

Xiong Tie nodded and made a movement of wiping his neck, and the man immediately turned and left.

Not long after, the sound of thumping objects falling into the water continued to sound around the dozen or so warships, and traces of blood floated on the water near the bottom of the ships, but they were quickly washed away and disappeared.

In less than half an hour, the more than 300 left-behind sailors on more than a dozen ships all disappeared. These ships were quickly taken over by Xiong Tie's people, and they set sail and sailed towards the distance.

Zheng Zhilong's men are not good at land combat, but when it comes to robbing ships to kill people, sailing and sailing, they are all familiar with it.

In Fuzhou city, in Zheng Zhilong's study, he was talking with his son Zheng Sen.

"Father, did Pi San really join the army?" Zheng Sen stared at Zheng Zhilong and asked suspiciously.

He is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart.It's just that when I was in the British barracks, I didn't think too much about it because of the excitement, and I had preconceived ideas, thinking that my father would not deceive me, so I believed Zheng Zhilong's words.

But on the way back to Fuzhou on horseback, I was blown by the cold wind and gradually calmed down, only then did I realize that there were many things that didn't make sense.

The biggest loophole is that as long as Smith asks Zheng Zhilong about this matter, or asks other people, he will know the truth.

So as soon as he returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to interrogate his father.

"Yes, Pi San was sent by me, and I asked him to say those words." Zheng Zhilong said calmly.

"Father, why did you do this? Although Pi San is rebellious, this is not the time for us to fight among ourselves, and Smith has already thought of leaving because of David's failure. Why did you do this?" Zheng Sen couldn't understand why his father did this, and his voice couldn't help but grow louder.

In his view, this is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall.Whether it's Pi San or the British, at this moment, they are the strength to rely on, but the father has chosen to plot against them.

This puzzled him a lot.

"Idiot, I always thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect you to be just a fool who can only play tricks! Do you think I don't know anything about you and David? Huh, if it was someone else, I would have cut it off a long time ago. his head."

Zheng Zhilong was also angry, and slapped the table, pointed at his son's nose and cursed.

As soon as I got mad, Zheng Sen's expression became embarrassing, he shut his mouth and sat on the chair.

He was indeed at fault for this matter, if he wasn't Zheng Zhilong's son, he would have died eight times already.

Seeing his son's resignation, Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly, and said in a slow tone: "The British are not reliable at all, and I never thought of relying on the British. And it turns out that the British are a bunch of trash."

Zheng Sen was speechless, because David's failure had already proved it.

"Look at this." Zheng Zhilong put the surrender letter written by his old mother in front of Zheng Sen.

After Zheng Sen hastily opened it and read it hastily, he leaned back in his chair slumped, his face full of tears.

"The army is powerful, and we are not opponents at all. If we continue to fight, my Zheng family will die. My father is old, and he has become indifferent to power and status. It doesn't matter even if he dies. But you are still young. , I can't let you be buried with me. You and those younger brothers and sisters, even if I don't think about me, I have to think about you. Tell me, what else can I do in this situation? "

Zheng Zhilong said earnestly, his tone full of helplessness.

Zheng Sen opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

What my father said was right, all the facts proved that their Zheng family was no match for the imperial court at all.If you continue to fight, there is really only a dead end.

Seeing his son's appearance, Zheng Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his son had listened to his words, he said slowly: "We have offended the court and Jiang Chuan before, and it is impossible to maintain our original power and status. I just want to I just hope that we can keep our family safe and prosperous in the future, let’s take care of the rest.”

Zheng Sen was speechless, and said after a long while: "Father, are the British people your certificate of surrender to the court?"

Zheng Zhilong nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, I promise to keep all these British people. And I also want to hand over all the power and status of our Zheng family, and only ask the one who keeps our family's life and wealth. As for Pi San, it was his own death, so I just happened to use the hands of the British to get rid of him."

Hearing this, Zheng Sen was silent for a long while. The Zheng family seemed to be completely finished this time.

After a long while, he said with a wry smile: "Father, you even plotted against my son in order to kill Pi San."

Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said: "You are too young and energetic, and you have been hanging out with the British for a long time. I was afraid that you would spoil things on the spur of the moment, so I didn't tell you the truth."

Zheng Sen smiled wryly. He knew that his father was right to worry, but he was very unhappy.

The father and son were relatively silent for a long time, and finally Zheng Sen said: "Father, but Smith has made up his mind to run away, how can we keep them?"

Zheng Zhilong smiled and said, "I knew the British would run away, and I already made arrangements."

At this moment, Xiong Tie's voice came from outside: "General, everything is settled."

Zheng Zhilong let out a long breath, stood up and said, "Okay, let's report the funeral to Pi San's people now."

After speaking, he walked towards the door, opened the door and walked out.Xiong Tie standing outside the door also hurriedly followed.

Zheng Sen was a little confused, but he also got up and followed.

He used to think that he was smart and that his father was old and stupid, but now it seems that he is still too naive and young.
