Chen Xi ordered, and the translator was so scared that he knelt on the ground with a "thump" and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Give up your life, sir!"

He didn't defend himself, and he begged for mercy when he came up. In fact, he admitted in disguise that he had committed the crime of sow discord. Chen Xi was furious and shouted: "Beat!"

"slow!"

Lian Hong stood up to stop him, "Mr. Shen, you may be unable to convince people when you hit someone for no reason. What are your entanglements with people from the outside world? But what does it have to do with this small translation?"

Chen Xi sneered: "Using the trust of my official, he used the letter to pass on the translation during negotiations between the two countries and falsely claimed that I wanted to kill the envoy of Folangji, which caused the people of Folangji to be uproar, and almost caused disputes and wars between the two countries. What a crime?"

"ah?!"

It would be hard not to say anything. When Chen Xi finished speaking, the people present were in an uproar.

A little translator is going to make a comeback!

If what Chen Xi said is true, it is not an exaggeration to drag the translation out and behead it.

The two countries dare to instigate this at the negotiating table of diplomatic relations. It is clearly to provoke a war. If life is so miserable, how many brains does this little translator have?

The people present in the Three Divisions, as well as the prefect's office and the Guangzhou Maritime Commission, all realized that there must be someone to give advice and support behind the translation, and they did not dare to breathe for a moment, for fear that Chen Xi would suspect him.

"Sir, please spare me, sir..."

The man was dragged to the yard and pressed to the ground. The soldiers picked up the military stick and greeted the translator hard. The people in the Maritime Department looked frightened. They all stood up and retreated aside, and even Hong's face became ugly.

"Continue the negotiation!"

Chen Xi turned his head and resumed negotiations with Folang Jiren.

Because Chen Xi directly communicated with Folang Jiren in English, and there was no need to translate Chinese in the middle, the officials present stared at each other and couldn't understand what Chen Xi was saying. Instead, Folang Jiren was filled with indignation after hearing Chen Xi's words, as if he wanted to have a good time with Chen Xi.

"There can't be less than three ships, and the occupied Luzon land must be transferred to us. If you agree, you will drive the ship to Guangzhou Port and you will be repaid. From now on, you can still be used as a transfer station on Kawashima, but it must be stationed by our Ming army!" Chen Xi's attitude was very firm.

Is it a Tang Yin to exchange for so many people and wealth? Do you really think I am here to trade at a loss? I will return the people and goods to you in three Galen sailboats that can cross the ocean, plus Luzon Island, and I will return them in batches.

As for the three Galen sailboats, they are nominally borrowed, but Liu Bei borrowed them from Jingzhou. You have to wait to repay them. You either send someone to grab them, or after the ship is rotten, I will pack the boards and nails for you to transport them back, and you will consider it yourself.

After Chen Xi finished speaking, Almeida was very angry. Originally, both sides were doing business well, and before the Ming Dynasty was also harmonious, but suddenly the two countries had a feud. At this time, he thought in his heart whether it was important to have three ships and Luzon Island, which actually only occupied a corner, or to bring people and wealth back so that he could continue to trade with the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"Mr. Shen, what did you say to Folang Jiren?" Lian Hong felt a terrible, but in order to go back and explain to Zhang Yuan truthfully, he still had to ask clearly.

Chen Xidao: "Is this related to Lian’s participation in politics?"

It didn't matter at first, but you insisted on inviting people from the Sansi and the prefectural office. Since you don't want to say it, what should we do? I will give you a strong reputation?

"Ah...ah..."

The screams of being beaten outside were still heard, and each sound was very harsh.

Finally, he finished the beating of fifty sticks, and the man was dragged in. Jing Yue, who was responsible for the execution of the execution, bowed and said, "Sir, the execution has been completed, please tell me!"

The translation of the translation of the butt being beaten so hard that it was so hard that the Ming Dynasty was punished with special punishment. He actually pulled down his pants and beat him. His butt was quite fleshy. If he encountered skinnyness, wouldn’t he even discount the humerus?

"I won't look at it anymore, just drag it down and find a doctor to treat his injuries." Chen Xi waved his hand.

"Here!"

Jing Yue raised his hand and the two soldiers dragged the half-dead translator out.

Chen Xi explained to Almeida in English that this was the Ming Dynasty's translation sincerely provoking relations between the two countries and making them relax.

Chen Xi's words are easy to speak.

But Almeida felt heavy in her heart... How do I know if the words before came from your mouth? The two countries were fighting and came to war, and they came up to curse us and threatened to kill us. Now they even asked for islands and ships. Since the island is so important, why don’t you take it at your disposal?

We came across continents and oceans, and found a place near the Ming Dynasty as a safe haven. But you said that you went straight to fish and enforce the law. What is the justice?

Chen Xi asked again: "How is Mr. Almeida thinking?"

Almeida did not want to be forced by Chen Xi, so she stood up and left a sentence. The entourage behind her conveyed the words to Chen Xi. Almeida decided to go back to the boat first, discuss with the people under her command, and vote to decide whether to agree.

Chen Xi waved his hand: "It seems that the Folang Jiren is not going to stay in the city for the night, so he will send someone to send them out of the city!"

Lian Hong said: "Mr. Shen, can you let Folang Jiren leave so easily?"

"What should I do according to Lian's intention of participating in politics?" Chen Xi asked back.

"should……"

Lian Hong was about to speak when he suddenly realized that Chen Xi was talking and immediately kept silent.

Chen Xidao: "Our dynasty and the Kingdom of Folangji are friendly and diplomatic countries. Do you want me to detain the envoy of the Kingdom of Folangji and trap my Ming Dynasty for being unkind and unrighteous?"

This made Lian Hong feel familiar, and it was clearly the previous remarks used by the yamen of the governor to impeach Chen Xi.

Almeida had already escorted out of the official office gate under Jing Yue and others. The Guangdong vassal, Nie and the Guangzhou Prefectural Office were embarrassed and said they were here to listen, but in fact they were tortured by Chen Xi, and in the end they didn't know what Chen Xi had talked with the Folang Jiren.

I don’t know anything, how do I write a memorial? How do I weave a charge for Chen Xi?

After all, whether the Folang Jiren went to decide to start a war with the Ming Dynasty or go back to pack up their bags and get out of here, no one could tell me why.

However, most people still speculated from the Folang Ji people that the barbarians of these foreign countries would not let it go. Chen Xi must have angered the foreign countries, and the Folang Ji people would invade the border of the Ming Dynasty when they turned around.

A group of people were "respected" by Chen Xi from the governor's office. Before they stepped on the sedan chair, they were still talking about it. However, the highest-ranking official position among them, even Hong didn't say anything, and just got into the sedan chair and left.

The governor's yamen calmed down again, and temporarily placed the negotiating table in the main hall took down. Ma Jiu came in and reported: "Sir, what I arranged before..."

Chen Xidao: "Depending on the situation, it would be fine if Folang Ji people surrender. If you want to leave... Humph, how could my Ming Dynasty be their back garden? You can just say it's time to leave?"

Ma Jiu looked determined: "I know what to do."

Ma Jiu hurriedly left Guangzhou City with what Chen Xi told him before. His mission was to monitor the movements of the Folang Ji people, and was ready to take the boat to sneak attack the Folang Ji people's ship at any time, and seize it with the people and the boat.

This time, the Folang Jiren learned to be smart. He did not get close to the port, but bent near an unknown island on the Pearl River, and moved forward and retreated freely.

Although the artillery of the Folang Jiren is powerful, the biggest disadvantage is that the large ship is not very mobility. If it is a dark night, Ma Jiu will take dozens of small boats to attack. As long as he can get close to the big ship and climb up with a quilt, it will be the same as when he was taking the ship in Quanzhou. The Folang Jiren has weak attack power in the face-to-face encounter, and the ship is easily taken off.

The strategy is not clever. As long as it works, no matter how clumsy it is, it can be used no matter how many times it is used.

...

...

As the end of the year approaches, the negotiations with the Folangji people have never been successful. Wars are possible, and the people are worried.

Chen Xi knew very well that the Folang Ji people who came from afar were just paper tigers, but the people did not know that Guangzhou had never had a large-scale war since it was included in the Ming Dynasty. People were used to the peaceful days and were afraid of experiencing wars. Especially when the Folang Ji country was far away, if the city was broken and the Folang Ji people were kidnapped, they would be slaves to those long-haired ghosts in a foreign country for the rest of their lives.

On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, three days after the Folang Jimen left, he finally drove the ship to Guangzhou Port. The people thought that foreign enemies invaded, and the entire port area, whether it was a merchant or a commoner, ran empty.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were ready to go, and the imitation of the Folang machine cannon was mounted on the coast, ready to fight back at any time.

A small boat was put down on the big ship, and Almeida personally brought his people to the ashore and once again submitted a letter of state, but it was a memorandum of understanding. On the one hand, it was to hand over Luzon and the sporadic islands occupied before, and on the other hand, it had to "borrow" three large sailboats to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, it was also lent out the twenty-four Flang machine cannons mounted on the ship.

Chen Xi did not leave the city, but waited for Almeida and others to arrive at the city.

Almeida went up to the top of the city and waited for the national calligraphy to come to Chen Xi's hand. Chen Xi picked up a brush and wrote eight big words "You can correct mistakes when you know your mistakes, but you can do it more than good."

Almeida frowned when she read it. What is this writing?

In duplicate the letter of the country, one was handed over to the Ming court, and the other was taken back by Almeida to the king. This was actually a "borrow note", reminding Chen Xi to return three large ships, and he could not return the goods and hostages without any trust.

Behind Almeida, a man in a dirt-faced manner, as if he had just emerged from the cinder, was escorted over, staring at Chen Xi, as if he had owed him a thousand-year-old tael of silver. He was the talented man Tang Bohu.

During this negotiation, Tang Yin was the hostage that Chen Xi named and exchanged.

Perhaps after suffering a lot on the boat, Tang Yin limped while walking, Chen Xi waved his hand, and immediately went up to two soldiers, picked Tang Yin back from the Folang Ji people, and then helped him down the city tower and back to the inn to rest.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Almeida, it seems that you Folangji people are full of sincerity. This official will naturally fulfill your promise to return the detained people and goods. The first batch will be returned in three batches. Now the first batch will be returned, and the second batch will be released after we send someone to take over Luzon. As for the third batch, it will be returned together with the trade goods."

Because Chen Xi had not mentioned the issue of returning in batches before, Almeda felt deceived. Seeing that Shatley and others were tied to the city gate tower with a rope, Almeda could only swallow his anger.

This time, Almeida brought only eight Garen armed sailing ships to the Ming Dynasty. Before, the entire crew dared not start a war. Now there are only five ships left, let alone fight.
Chapter completed!
