Daming Junior Scholar
Page 440
Qiu Zhen, who had been busy all day, just wanted to take a break when a servant hurried over and said to him anxiously.
Qiu Zhenzhen sighed inwardly, and could only get up from the bed again, while putting on the clothes on his body, he asked, "Do you know what it is for?"
"I don't know, the master locked himself in the study after he came back from the outside." After a pause, the boy said in a low voice: "There were several ping-pong noises inside, probably the master dropped something."
Qiu Zhenxin's heart tightened suddenly, one must know that those ornaments in Qiu Tianren's study room are all valuable treasures, if they were all dropped, the loss would be really not small.
Qiu Zhen quickly put on her clothes and ran to the door of the study. After hearing that there was no movement in the study, she knocked on the door tentatively and said in a low voice, "Master, it's me."
"Qiu Zhen, come in." Qiu Tianren's voice in the room responded flatly.
Qiu Zhen pushed open the door carefully, and there was already a light in the room, and the light reflected Qiu Tianren's cloudy and uncertain face. Qiu Zhen wanted to go inside, but there was a crisp sound as if something was bumped under his feet.Hearing this voice, Qiu Zhenxin knew something was wrong, and quickly lowered his head, only to notice that the ground under his feet was densely covered with all kinds of debris. It seems that the boy is really not lying, the master must be I'm so angry
Just dropped these things.
While regretting these valuable treasures in his heart, Qiu Zhen's face was still very flat, and he said softly: "Master, I'll ask someone to clean up the things."
"Forget it, I'll find someone to clean it up later, come in, I have something to tell you."
Qiu Zhen could probably guess what Qiu Tianren wanted to say to him, and walked slowly to Qiu Tianren, carefully avoiding the debris on the ground. "This kid is too deceitful." Qiu Tianren startled Qiu Zhen as soon as he opened his mouth. He probably knew something about the person Qiu Tianren was talking about. It should be Mr. He Jia'an who came here from the capital. In the past few days Lord for him
The matter often went to the Haidao Yamen, but I hadn't seen this He Jia'an in the past few days. Seeing how angry the master is today, I'm afraid he should have seen He Jia'an.Obviously, the meeting between the two parties was not as pleasant as imagined, otherwise the master would not be so angry, Qiu Zhen hurriedly persuaded: "Master, the anger is too serious, he is from the capital, and the power is powerful. , let's forget it.
"
"Forget it?" Qiu Tianren glared at Qiu Zhen, and said angrily: "Why just forget it like this, I, Qiu Tianren, can be regarded as the number one person in Guangzhou City anyway, how can I suffer from being dumb like this."
"What does the master mean?" Qiu Zhen had a vague feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, Qiu Tianren suddenly fell silent, and said quietly for a long while: "Someone send a message to Master Guicun to invite him to attack Guangzhou." He waved his hand and said: "My master's move is undoubtedly to lure wolves into the house. I'm afraid it's easy to attract wolves, but it's hard to end it. Besides, if the people in Guangzhou know
If we did this, then I'm afraid there will be no room for us in Guangzhou City. "" What are you afraid of? "Qiu Tianren's mind is now completely occupied by He Jiaan's mocking expression, and he can't listen to Qiu Zhen's words at all. He glared at him bitterly, and said through gritted teeth: "I just want He Jiaan to know the consequences of underestimating me.
Well, when the time comes, I don't care about other people's things. I must deal with He Jia'an myself. "Hatred has blinded Qiu Tianren's eyes. Qiu Zhen sighed softly in his heart, but he couldn't think of any good way to stop his master. He seemed to have seen the moment when Guangzhou City was captured by Japanese pirates. ,
Do you want to do what the master says?
Qiu Zhen has fallen into confusion.Time flies so fast, half a month has passed since I arrived in Guangzhou in the blink of an eye, what He Jiaan worried most about in the half month was the gunboats of Francobots appearing on the sea, but fortunately, maybe they are somewhere else what happened
Trouble, I have never returned to Guangzhou Mansion.The Nanshan Armory, which has yet to rush to list, has been extremely busy, while Bai Huatian, the soul of the arsenal, has not had time to rest for more than ten days, which also makes this elderly man a little tired angry, yes
But as long as the first cannon is not built, I will not have a chance to rest.After another busy day, Bai Huatian let out a long breath, and dragged his tired body back to his resting place. If everything goes well, the first Franc cannon should be imitated tomorrow morning. How can Bai Huatian, who has been casting flames all his life, not be excited? I have to say that these Franji people are indeed smart enough to come up with such a novel method. A cannon only needs to be equipped with five or six guns , it should be possible to achieve uninterrupted
If Daming has such a powerful cannon, he will be afraid of Francobots.
When Bai Huatian was looking forward to tomorrow's artillery, a cavalry team came from the direction of the far gate, and the one in the lead was He Jia'an.He Jiaan with a tired face was not polite when he came in front of Bai Huatian, he sat beside Bai Huatian, looked at the good wine and food in front of Bai Huatian, he was not polite, poured himself a glass, and drank it with a raised neck went in, drank
After that, he asked, "Uncle Bai, how long will it take for this cannon to be cast?"
Bai Huatian glanced at He Jiaan, smiled and said: "If it goes well, it should be ready tomorrow morning." "Tomorrow?" After worrying for so long, finally there is good news. He Jiaan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He has been running all over the coast, looking for a fort that can accommodate artillery. Although he has fixed all the 21 tiger squat cannons near the coast, He Jiaan still has no idea. My own is much faster, as long as I don't sink them in the first round, the opponent's counterattack is very powerful.
It is quite powerful.As for negotiating with Franji, He Jiaan has never thought about it. For him, an open Ming Dynasty is indeed more conducive to the development of the country, but this kind of transaction model is yet to be discussed. For example, Franji in hand
What kind of price should the goods be set at? They can't let them take the garbage and sell it for a precious price.What's more, if there is no battle, these guys who bully the weak and fear the hard will probably think that they will be afraid of them, so this battle between the two sides is definitely unavoidable. To be afraid to conquer, let
They no longer dared to have any bad thoughts about Daming.He Jiaan didn't go back that night, and just found a place to sleep on Nanshan. Maybe it was because of the excitement in the first half of the night. He Jiaan, who usually wakes up early, woke up late for a long time today, just when he was still dreaming. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise in my ears. I opened my eyes in a daze and got up from the bed. After opening the window, I saw a group of people gathered together in the distance as if they were shouting something. He Jiaan suddenly thought of what Bai Huatian said last night, and his drowsiness disappeared immediately. Could it be that it was made by a cannonball?
Chapter 812
He Jia'an's guess was correct. Alvarez, who had fled back to Manchuria, had indeed encountered a big problem. The people of Manchuria under the high-pressure rule revolted.As Alvarez's base camp in Asia, Manthorna naturally means a lot to him. He usually keeps a fleet of six warships here and a guard of more than 600 people. This seemingly powerful force on paper ran into a lot of trouble, and was almost driven into the sea by the rebel army of Manthorna. Thanks to Alvarez leading the remaining four ships The battleship arrived, and a burst of cannonballs shot down the rebels who were full of stabs.
After being dispelled, the situation was finally stabilized again.In Alvarez's view, the rebel army, which should have been easily resolved, has become his biggest problem. Although he is also thinking about the situation in Guangzhou, he originally thought about deploying a few more warships to go to Guangzhou. Fu and his party, myself
That warship can't be lost in vain, and it is always necessary to recover some interest from the Daming people.
But now that the situation is full of thorns, not only the battleship can't be transferred, but also I have been kept for a while, and this stay is almost two months.The battle with Manchujiayi Army has become a long tug-of-war. When the battle finally ceased to be so fierce, Alvarez couldn't help thinking about the wealthy Guangzhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that he only needed to take the goods in his hand. shipped to large
Ming can get hundreds of thousands of times the profit, and I can't hold back my emotions.On this day, just when Alvarez asked people to load the supplies onto the ship and was about to go to Daming in a few days, Pierce, his think tank, suddenly rushed over, and after pushing away the people around him, Pierce whisper
Said: "Your Excellency, there are people from the Japanese country asking to see you." "People from the Japanese country?" Alvarez was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew where the direction of the Japanese country was, but now all his energy was concentrated on the direction of Daming, and he didn't have too much trouble. A lot of energy is wasted on the Japanese people, and I don't know how big they are.
What's the matter with running all the way here to find yourself?
"Did they say what it was?" Alvarez asked casually, ready to just perfunctory the Japanese.
The expression on Pierce's face became a little cautious, and he said in a low voice, "They said they were preparing to jointly attack Guangzhou Mansion with us."
"What?" Upon hearing Pierce's words, Alvarest stood up suddenly, blinked his eyes as if he felt that he had heard wrongly, and quickly asked again: "Can you say what you just said again?" .”
Pierce immediately repeated: "They are going to join forces with us to attack Guangzhou." Seeing that he could prepare an expeditionary army for his own pocket, but he happened to be here
At this time, these Japanese people want to join forces with him without knowing the importance, bah, they are also worthy?
Thinking of this, Alvarez snorted again and said: "Tell these Japanese people that I have already taken a fancy to Guangzhou Mansion, and let them stay away from Guangzhou, otherwise... you will be at your own risk."
After listening to Alvarez, Pierce did not leave, with a pensive expression on his face, he said softly, "Your Excellency, do you think about it again?"
"Consider? Why?" Alvarez asked puzzled.
After organizing the language, Pierce said softly: "I heard from the Japanese that they have an internal support team in Guangzhou, which can be launched together when we attack. This should help us take Guangzhou City quickly. "
"Internal response?" Hearing this, Alvarez finally paid attention to it for the first time. If what Pierce said was true, he should have saved a lot of effort when attacking Guangzhou, but...
After hesitating for a while, Alvarez finally said: "Well, arrange for me to meet with the Japanese envoy, and I will personally ask them about their plans."
"Your Excellency, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away." Pierce was very efficient, and soon the envoy from the Japanese country was arranged to have dinner with Alvarez. This was also the result of Alvarez's special arrangement. He just wanted to Let these country bumpkins from the Wa country see the Franji people
Luxurious high society.The dinner was held in the royal palace of Mancica. For Alvarez, the palace of Mancica was no different from his own home. He could stay in any room of the palace as long as he wanted. Including Manthorna Huang
It's just that I don't have such a hobby.
It was already dark outside, but the palace was brightly lit, and candles made of fish oil could be seen everywhere, illuminating the whole palace as if it were daytime.A long table separates Alvarez from the Japanese envoy. It seems that the Japanese envoy is not used to eating while talking, let alone how to use the knife and fork in front of him. I can only learn
Looking like Alvarez, he laboriously cut off a piece of beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously. "No, no, no, your way of eating is wrong, and I wasted all my hard work." Alvarez, who was sitting on the other side of the dining table, slowly shook his fingers, looking at Waguo with a haughty expression. Man, turned his head and glanced at Pierce and said
: "Go and teach him how to become a well-bred gentleman." Probably because of the inherent servility of the nation, the more arrogant Alvarez behaves, the more cautiously the envoy of the Japanese kingdom, Sano Izumi, flatters him. He said a few good words from time to time, although Alvarez could not understand what he said, but
After hearing Pierce's translation, he nodded in satisfaction.
Finally, with the help of Pierce, Izumi Sano learned how to deal with the piece of beef in front of him. While cutting the beef in a strange way, he said with an apologetic smile, "I don't know what the governor thinks about our proposal?" Hearing Pierce translate However, Alvarez couldn't help but sighed softly, put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a white table cloth, then shook his head and said: "I have already listened to Pierce's proposal." said
Yes, although it sounds good, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that this matter is not so easy to do. I would like to ask, what kind of strength do you have, that you have the courage to attack Daming's Guangzhou Mansion? As for this question, Izumi Sano probably had already prepared for this question, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said seriously: "Master Guicun has more than forty warships under his command, and there are also thousands of elite ronin of our country, Others are even better
There are as many as ten thousand people. "Hey, hearing this number, Alvarez couldn't help but move his heart. After all, the biggest headache for him now is the problem of lack of manpower. There are only more than 1000 people under his command, and these people have to be separated out. Most of them come to guard
To protect their lair, if the Japanese people can really use so much power, isn't this the current cannon fodder?Thinking of this, Alvarez couldn't help but burst into ecstasy, but his face didn't show too much excitement, he frowned slightly and said: "It sounds good, but I would like to ask this gentleman, do you have any experience?" how many cannons
? "This..." Izumi Sano was stunned immediately.
