Daming Junior Scholar

who is it? ”

As soon as he got down to business, Wu Xun's face immediately became serious, and he said with wide eyes, "It's still that guy surnamed Pi."

"You, you, how many times have I told you that his surname is not Pi, but his name is Pires." Naturally, he guessed right, it was that annoying guy who came.

Wu Xun said unconvinced: "This red-haired ghost is really strange. He even used three words for his name. The surname Pi should be simple."

Wu Ting didn't bother to explain to his nephew the difference between the surname Pi and the surname Pierce, so he looked at his casual clothes and ordered, "Let that Pierce in first, and I'll go over after changing my clothes. "

"Yes, uncle." Wu Xun replied, then walked out of the study.After Wu Xun left, Wu Ting didn't change his clothes for a long time. He stood there for a while, couldn't help but sighed softly, reached out and picked up an opened envelope from the table, and then Pulling out the letter paper inside, it can be seen that Wu Ting must have read the letter many times, and the corners of the letter paper have been slightly damaged. He said to himself: "It's just a brat, how can he lead soldiers and fight him?"

In the battle, the behavior of Long Live Lord is becoming more and more incomprehensible. "

If He Jia'an had read the letter, he might be able to realize immediately that the brat Wu Ting was talking about was clearly referring to him.

After changing his official uniform, Wu Ting appeared in his living room with square steps, but when he saw the two people sitting in the living room, he was stunned for a moment, pointed at the strange Frang robot with a smile and asked: "Mr. Pierce, this is...?" Hearing Wu Ting's words, the person sitting on the other chair stood up slowly, first pointed at the person who came with him, and then used a very weird tone Said: "Respected Master Wu, please allow me to introduce, this gentleman is our

His Excellency Ronaldo, the nephew of Governor Alvarez, by the way, one last thing to add, last month, it was because of Mr. Wu's recommendation that His Excellency Ronaldo was able to go to the capital to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. "

"Oh." Hearing Pierce's explanation, Wu Ting immediately understood that the boy with feelings is the representative of that Francine man, but judging by his unlucky appearance, I'm afraid Shangjing probably didn't end up with any good results. .Nodding at Ronaldo, even though Wu Ting had greeted him, he sat down on the middle seat and asked indifferently: "I wonder what is the important matter of Mr. Pierce coming to me this time? is ready to compensate me

Did you Ming the three warships that were sunk by you? "Hehe, Master Wu was joking, can those three of yours still be called warships?"Oh my god, that's the oldest battleship I've ever seen in my life, I think if we didn't sink him, it would probably blow them out to sea in a while

Let's go. ”

After saying this, Pierce and Ronaldo looked at each other, and then laughed wildly.Wu Ting's face began to darken at a speed visible to the naked eye. Because of anger, even the right hand holding the tea cup trembled involuntarily. The tea cup made a slight collision sound, which sounded like he was about to be killed by him crushed

generally.Suddenly, the atmosphere in the living room became extremely awkward. After Pierce and Ronaldo laughed wildly, their voices gradually weakened. purpose is to laugh

Tell me about someone Wu? "Looking at Wu Ting's frighteningly dark expression, Pierce slowly shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Wu misunderstood, in fact, we are here this time mainly to convey the meaning of our Governor Alvarez, on behalf of Francine Kingdom and Ming Empire

A friendly agreement has been reached, and the two sides will establish a commercial relationship. In return, our Franji Armada will eliminate those annoying Japanese people for the Ming Dynasty. "Oh? This is the first time Wu Ting has heard of such a condition. Compared with these Francois, those Japanese pirates are more annoying. When you are ready, he doesn't know where to hide. Wait until As soon as he relaxed, he ran to a certain place

Landed in a place, burned, killed and looted, and immediately disappeared into the sea.So when he heard that Franji could get rid of those flies for Daming, Wu Ting was still a little moved, but after dealing with these Franji for so long, he naturally knew that they were all useless Early guy, I'm afraid

In addition to trade, they will have other plans.

Wu Ting did not agree to Pierce's request easily, but asked cautiously: "Your Excellency may not only have such a small request. If you have anything to say, it's better to say it together." "Hehehe." Pierce's face revealed With a clear expression, he smiled and praised: "Master Wu is really clever, and he can see through it at once. In fact, our Governor's request is also very simple, that is, to rent a small island of the Ming Empire.

Just a place for us to stay. "

"Oh?" If it is said that a small island can be exchanged for the demise of Japanese pirates, such a deal seems to be quite worthwhile. After weighing it, Wu Ting then asked: "I don't know what Governor Alvarez is looking for." Which island is it?"

"If possible, our governor would like to lease Macau." "Macao?" This name is extremely unfamiliar to Wu Ting, and he seems to have never heard of this place, but he also knows in his heart that this may also be a problem of transliteration. I'm afraid these Franji people didn't hear their status clearly, so they ran away

Come here and say something.

When Wu Ting was thinking about where Macau is, Pierce suddenly said: "If Mr. Wu finds it inconvenient, Tuen Mun Island is also possible." Wu Ting could hear the place name clearly, and he I really know that Tuen Mun Island is not far from Guangzhou, it would be fine if it is any other place, but Tuen Mun is an extremely dangerous place, and most of the merchant ships entering and leaving Guangzhou will come from Tuen Mun.

Passing near the gate, when the time comes, these Francobots only need to stop their warships near Tuen Mun, and they will have a great impact on the merchant ships entering and leaving Daming.

After realizing the greater intentions of these Frangji people, Wu Ting shook his head firmly and said: "It's okay to talk about other places, but Tuen Mun is absolutely impossible." Hearing Wu Ting's resolute tone, Pierce and Ronaldo changed their faces together, but Wu Ting heard Ronaldo suddenly say a series of words he didn't understand, and then saw Pierce said coldly: "Master Wu, our Lord Ronaldo has already said, if you don't If the door is loaned to us, then we will bombard the city of Guangzhou with artillery."

Chapter 785

"Too much deceit!" In the lobby of the Guangzhou government office, almost all high-ranking military and government officials in the Guangzhou government gathered. When Wu Ting relayed what Pierce said to him yesterday, it immediately aroused the indignation of most people, even command of some guards

Shi couldn't hold back his fiery temper and stood up, as if he was going back to gather troops to fight.The atmosphere in the lobby also became heated following Wu Ting's words, but for some reason, after Wu Ting finished describing the matter, he returned to his seat and sat down, no matter how intense the other officials discussed ,Own

There was no word at all, and after a long time, someone finally noticed Wu Ting's actions.

Guangzhou Qianwei Thumb Envoy's surname is Xue Mingtao, and he is an old subordinate who has followed Wu Ting for many years. Seeing that Wu Ting was speechless for a long time, he couldn't help saying: "Master Wu, that red-haired ghost is really deceiving people too much. We can't do it this time." I can bear it." "Yes, I can't bear it, Brother Xue, let's go back to recruit troops and fight that red-haired ghost, I don't believe it, our hundreds of boats can't beat their mere five boats." Ge Wulong, the commander of Guangzhou Zuowei, also echoed in unison.

.

The two commanders both spoke, but this Wu Ting was still unhurried, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at the two of them, suddenly showed a mocking expression on his face, and said disdainfully: "What? What are you doing?"

After a pause, Wu Ting's eyes first shifted to Xue Tao, and asked lightly: "You said you have hundreds of boats in your hand, come and tell me, what kind of firearms are equipped on them, and what kind of boats are there?" Can it beat other people's Franc machine guns?" "This..." Wu Ting's words hit Xue Tao's life, and he knew his own affairs, although on paper it seemed that there were thousands of front guards in Guangzhou. There are hundreds of warships, but these are all numbers written on paper. When you arrive in Guangzhou Qianwei, you can tell at a glance that the number of troops is only a few hundred. The ghost sank three ships, and this time he lost the confidence to fight even more, so when Wu Ting asked, Xue Tao immediately grew old.

Realized a lot.

One sentence made Xue Tao more honest. Wu Ting glanced at Ge Wulong again, and asked softly: "General Ge, what about you? How many ships can you come up with?" "Hehe." Ge Wulong smiled sarcastically. , my own Guangzhou left guard is not much better than the avant-garde, but this phenomenon is not caused by myself, it is the result of the decline of the Daming Navy for decades.

The world's largest naval fleet, the country has more than [-] warships, but now I am afraid that the total number of warships in the whole country is not as many as before.Thinking of this, Ge Wulong said unwillingly: "Although we don't have many warships, if we put together all the warships in the guards, there can be hundreds of them. I don't believe that so many ships can fight But those red hairs

ghost. "Who doesn't know how to say big things? Even if these ships can be gathered together, who dares to say that they can definitely beat the Fran robot? Although Wu Ting has never seen the moment the Fran robot sank the warship, But I heard from those sailors who escaped their lives that the Fran's machine boats lined up, and countless flames burst out from the side of the hull, and then my warship fell into the flames, and the sound of explosions was heard all around. It kept ringing, almost in a moment, the battleship sank

go with.

Just thinking about this kind of scene is enough to make me shudder, let alone pulling out all the remaining warships. If it is really taken away by the Francobots, who will deal with it in the future? What about those nasty Japanese pirates?

Thinking of Japanese pirates, Wu Ting couldn't help but think of the condition Pierce mentioned to himself. It would be a good idea to exchange an island for the Japanese pirates' demise, but can the words of Franji really be trusted?Gradually, Wu Ting fell into deep thought. It doesn't matter if he was in deep thought. He didn't see any movement after waiting for a while. Ge Wulong glanced at Xue Tao in confusion. Can see each other's eyes

Feeling disappointed in the middle, I thought that the performance of the two of them just now could arouse the indignation of the adults, and maybe it could also increase the armament of the guard.

But...it seems that I still think too easily.

"My lord, my lord..." Xue Tao called out cautiously.

"Huh?" Wu Ting, who was thinking, was interrupted, and then he remembered where he was, and smiled awkwardly.

At this time, Ge Wulong thoughtfully rescued Wu Ting and said, "Your Excellency must have thought of a brilliant plan, right?"

Wu Ting smiled, and said softly: "It's a good plan, but I didn't expect it, but I have some good news, but I don't know if you want to hear it."

"Of course I want to." Xue Tao and Ge Wulong's eyes lit up. Could it be that Wu Ting is preparing to increase the force of the guard?Wu Ting stood up suddenly, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then he said loudly: "Long live is very angry at the sinking of the warship by the Frang robot, and specially appointed He Jia'an, the acting commander of the Shenji battalion, and the Qianwei of the government army. Commander Su Can leads the Shenji battalion

Reinforcements are coming, and the day is coming. During the period when the slow troops arrive, please be patient, and when the reinforcements arrive, it will be time for the army to defeat the enemy. "After the meeting ended, everyone began to disperse gradually, but Xue Tao and Ge Wulong walked at the end with blank eyes. The two had met once before the meeting, and the anger just now was settled by the two of them. idea, can

It was the two of them who didn't expect that they didn't get any of the military equipment they wanted, but what they were waiting for was the Shenji Battalion and the avant-garde guards of the government army in the capital.After leaving the yamen, the two of them didn't bother to go back to their residences, so they found a nearby tavern and sat down. After the drinks were served, they didn't care about the three seven twenty-one, and directly drank a bowl, and then slammed the wine bowl. Just listen to Xue

Tao first complained: "Hey, if this goes on like this, our Daming navy will be finished."

Ge Wulong is also full of resentment, not to say that all of Ming's soldiers are cowards, but with a salary of one stone a month, plus those dilapidated warships, what do they have to do with this Francois? people to fight?Hearing Xue Tao's complaints, Ge Wulong also sneered: "The imperial court also sent out the Shenji Battalion, plus an acting commander who has never heard of it. They are clearly here for gilding. Cannon, it doesn't matter if the Franc robot runs away or not, and then he can return to the court as a teacher, and become a meritorious minister in a sudden transformation. Those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should get the money will get the money. In the end, we big soldiers are suffering, mother. , I really don't want to do it

It is. ”

The more he drank the more wine, and the scolding between the two became more and more intense. Xue Tao suddenly looked around while drinking, and then said in a low voice, "Old Ge, do you have the guts?"

"What you said, I have nothing to boast about in my life other than being brave." Ge Wulong replied with a big tongue.

"Then do you dare to go with me to fight against those Franji people?"

"Huh?" Hearing this sentence, Ge Wulong was stunned for a moment, Jiu Jin woke up for the most part, and then said in a low voice: "Master Wu is right, with our broken boat and those broken guns, how can we Can it beat other people's artillery?" "It's not good from the front, won't we sneak attack?"

Chapter 786

When the night fell, the hot weather became refreshing with the disappearance of the sun. People who had been busy for a day dragged their tired bodies back to their homes, waiting for the dawn of the next day.
