Kui Yi has been feeling aggrieved recently. Almost all of his fleet was destroyed in Macau.

In Yizhou, the Dutch Chihkan City was also taken over by the Ming Dynasty. Those damn Ming Dynasty people actually sold prisoners of war as slaves. They even wrote to me specifically, asking if I wanted to buy some back.

The seams in my heart are closing. This is a complete contempt for the Netherlands. But the problem is, what can you do if people despise you?

Mr. Kuiyi didn't wait and decided to take revenge in his own way.

Force is not enough, he only has two ships left now. Not to mention fighting against Li Xiao, even Zheng Zhilong cannot defeat him. After fishing out hundreds of artillery pieces from the dock in Macau, Zheng Zhilong exchanged shotguns for cannons.

Many warships are equipped with cannons, and now these ships are ravaging the South China Sea like locusts. Not only do Dutch ships have to pay for passing by, but all ships floating in the South China Sea must fly the Zheng family's flag. If you don't fly the Zheng family's flag, you will definitely be arrested.

Robbery. If you want to find those crew members again, I'm afraid you have to ask the Sea Dragon King.

Now when Dutch ships enter or leave the South China Sea, they have to buy the Zheng family's flag in the strait.

This is a naked bonus. A big ship will charge hundreds of taels of silver. A small boat will also charge fifty taels. This is simply robbery. Seeing the white money flowing into the Zheng family like a tide, Kui Yi's heart was broken.

In Spill of Blood, this should all be the money of the Dutch East India Company.

Faced with the occupation, Mr. Kuiyi did not wait and did not rely on him. He decided to... go to the capital to petition.

Because he heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty liked the submission of foreign countries very much. As long as he showed extreme obedience, he could get many rewards, and some reasonable and unreasonable requests would also be granted.

After two months of trekking, Kui Yi arrived in the capital. Sure enough, he received extremely warm hospitality at the Ministry of Etiquette and ate meals he had never eaten before. The food was so delicious that people wanted to eat it all with their tongues.

The exquisite porcelain for rice made him have the urge to put it in his pocket.

Mr. Kui Yi was on the road very much. He saw what the Ming officials had to say and listened to it. When the Ming officials were complacent, Kui Yi did not forget his job. He cried with snot and tears about Li Xiao's atrocities. In his packaging

Next. I am an innocent little lamb who was bullied by the evil wolf Li Xiao and became extremely miserable.

If he hadn't escaped quickly, his life might have ended up in the belly of the evil wolf.

Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Rites, was extremely appreciative of this international friend who was on the road, and believed that this was the best result of Ming Dynasty's mighty virtue to the barbarians. He reprimanded Li Xiao for bullying the weak, and assured Kui Yi that Ming Dynasty was a civilized country.

Scum like Li Xiao will definitely be punished. Ask him to wait patiently in the capital, and maybe His Majesty the Emperor will receive him. When the time comes, tell the Emperor your story, and the Ming Emperor will naturally make the decision for you.

Kui Yi stared at his watery blue eyes and thanked this high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty for upholding justice.

"Hans, do you really think that the old man of Ming Dynasty will punish Li Xiao and that damn Zheng Zhilong?" As soon as Kui returned to the post house from Shangshu Mansion, he always felt that this matter was a bit unreliable.

If in the Netherlands, people like Li Xiao should receive the highest reward, not punishment. Generals who can defeat enemy countries and bring benefits to their own country are heroes.

"Haha! Don't worry, Mr. Kuiyi. This is a mysterious Eastern country, and their high-ranking officials have magical thinking. Don't try to figure them out with your own understanding. Weird things will happen here.

I think Mr. Zhao will definitely punish that Li Xiao, and Zheng Zhilong will not be able to escape. As long as you are respectful enough in front of them, you can get their support."

As a clergyman of the Anglican Church, Hans has been in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for five years. Although he has not yet obtained the official consent of the Ming Dynasty to build a church in this prosperous city, he is already very familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

This time Kueyi found him as a guide and translator, and Hans immediately agreed. Not only for Kuoyi's generous reward, but also Kuoyi promised to take him back to his hometown in Prussia.

It is really difficult to preach in the Ming Dynasty. The people here believe in Buddhism and Taoism. They are not interested in Jehovah. His lobbying that those people can go to heaven after they believe in religion has completely become a joke for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The monks and Taoist priests always treated him coldly. Several times, he was attacked by strangers at night. He didn't know who beat him, but he could only see the reflection of the other person's head in the dim light.

It would be better to go back to his hometown in Prussia, where the sky and the earth are, barley bread, big elbows, delicious sausages, and delicious wine. For this unfriendly country, Hans does not want to stay another day.

.

"What a magical country!" Kui Yi couldn't understand Hans's words in his mind. From the first day when Hans said that the Ming Dynasty would punish Li Xiao, Kui Yi never believed it. But this trip to the capital of the Ming Dynasty was also

It's not that there is no gain at all.

"When will the man named Yang Rong come?"

"We have an appointment tonight!"

"Oh! Another annoying oriental habit, why do you have to come at night?" Kui Yi didn't like Daming very much, mainly because he couldn't use his own thinking to guess the behavioral patterns of Daming people. In fact, it was difficult for him to understand.

The thoughts of Ming people. For example, Zhao Nanxing kept saying that he wanted to punish Li Xiao.

"Haha! You need to get used to it, Mr. Kuiyi." Hans smiled and went back to his room. Both of them spoke in Dutch, so they were not afraid of being overheard by the busboys at the inn.

It was not late at night, but at dusk a guy dressed as a scholar from the Ming Dynasty walked in under the leadership of Hans.

"Mr. Yang, you seem to be here early." Kui was a little surprised when he saw Yang Rong. This guy usually only comes in the middle of the night, and he is very sneaky.

"I would like to invite Mr. Kui Yi out for dinner today. The carriage is ready outside. Please!" After Yang Rong finished speaking, he looked at Hans and waited for him to translate for Kui Yi.

"You are so kind to eat." Kui Yi happily accepted Yang Rong's invitation. If the only thing he missed about Daming was the delicious food here.

No matter what it is, people in Ming Dynasty seem to make it well. Yesterday, Hans took him to eat a bowl of pig offal. He was quite disgusted at first. But after eating it, Kui Yi couldn't stop using his chopsticks. He ate seven bowls of braised pork in a row.

Boil it, and it almost dies.

After changing their clothes, Kui Yi and Han Si followed Yang Rong out of the back door of the inn.

There was a carriage waiting at the back door, and the three people got on the carriage. The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, and left the capital under the reflection of the setting sun.

It was getting dark, and just when Kui Yi felt a little uneasy, the carriage stopped.

"We're here, please!!" Yang Rongdang got off the carriage first, followed by Kui Yi and Hans, one behind the other.

This is a farmyard, and the yard is next to a pond. It was just dark, and the yard was smoked with mugwort, making the whole yard shrouded in green smoke.

Kui Yi rubbed his nose. He didn't like the smell of this grass very much. But he also knew that this stuff was used to smoke mosquitoes. If he didn't light this stuff, he wouldn't be eaten by mosquitoes next to the pond.

I'm not a big fan of mosquitoes. I've experienced mosquitoes as big as dragonflies in Java. Small mosquitoes like this in Beijing are not a big problem.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he smelled the aroma of meat. A man in Tsing Yi was roasting a whole lamb. A woman wrapped in a flowered headscarf walked out of the side room, holding a basin in her hand.

A big bowl. I don’t know what’s inside, but it looks quite appetizing.

"Please!" Yang Rong made a gesture of invitation and opened the door curtain at the same time.

It was very dark inside the room, so Kuiyi hesitated. Hans walked in first, and Kuiyi had no choice but to follow him.

I turned a corner and opened the door when I entered the house, and a cool breeze immediately rushed out from inside. The weather in Beijing is still a bit hot in September. How can there be cold air?

Yang Rong opened the door curtain again, and the light immediately appeared in the room. The coolness became stronger!

There were four lamps burning in the room, all with glazed lampshades. Kui Yi was surprised, these four lampshades were very expensive. What on earth is Yang Rong doing today!

There is an Eight Immortals table in the middle, and there are already several dishes on the table. The woman who just brought the dishes in is hunched over and her face cannot be seen. There is a strong man sitting cross-legged on the Kang.

This strong man had half his head shaved, with a pigtail hanging down the back of his head. He was wearing a thin silk gown, vaguely revealing his strong muscles. The strong man was leaning on the quilt with his eyes closed, and he seemed to be asleep.

.

"Master! We are here!" Yang Rong bowed his body and said to the strong man on the kang.

"Oh!" The strong man said "Oh" and opened his eyes. He looked at Kui Yi and Hans carefully: "Oh no! Red-haired people have such virtues. Their eyes are still blue!"

The strong man muttered something, got off the kang, clasped his fists at Kui Yi and Hans and said, "My name is Shuo Tuo, let's talk business today."

"Are you a Jurchen?" Hans looked at Shuotuo's dress.

"Ha! If you can speak human language, it will be easy." Shuotuo breathed a sigh of relief, saying that it was too troublesome to translate one sentence. This time, my father sent him here because he can speak Ming dialect.

"I've been to Fushun."

"Have you ever been to Fushun? In the future, if you are willing to go to Fushun, let me know. I will treat you well when you arrive in Fushun. Please! It's not my own land. I only have these food. When I arrive in Shenyang in the future, I will treat you to a good drink."

Shuotuo made a gesture of invitation.

Hans said something to Kui Yi, and the two of them sat down. The woman who was serving on the side immediately picked up a pot of wine and filled it for the three of them. Yang Rong, who looked arrogant just now, now stood with his body hunched over.

Beside the table is a mastiff.

There was a lot of food on the table, especially the tableware that Kui Yi liked very much. Holding a sharp knife in his hand felt much better than holding chopsticks. These days, he has been tortured by those two bamboo sticks

broken.

The knife in his hand cut off a chicken leg in one go, and Kui Yi ate it without any ceremony.

"Okay, he is a happy man. My father is Daishan, the leader of the red flag, and my eldest brother is Yue Tuo, the leader of the red flag. The reason why I came here this time is about the Fo Lang machine gun. According to your price, one thousand taels of silver per

Door." Shuotuo sat down and immediately went straight in.

"You agreed, that's great!" Hans immediately translated Shuotuo's words to Kuiyi.

"But we still have a request. Not only do you have to provide ammunition, but you also have to send people to help us train gunners. We can pay for it." When Daishan came, he said that money is not an issue. As long as we get cannons, we can do anything.

Easy to say.

Hans translated Shuotuo's words and Kuiyi again!

"That's no problem. I can help you train gunners. I also want to know if you want to fight Li Xiao." Kuiyi remembered that Hans once said that Li Xiao's current position is the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. The main enemy is,

It's the Houjin Jurchen opposite.

"Li Xiao? Oh, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan? That's right!" Shuotuo thought for a moment and then remembered Li Xiao's name.

I heard this name when my father and eldest brother were talking. Shuotuo knew that this boy had robbed his family of gold. I heard that Uncle Eighth's Zhengbai Flag also suffered a big loss in his hands.

"We will help you train gunners for free, as long as you can defeat Li Xiao." Now when Li Xiao's name was mentioned, Kui Yi was so angry that he wanted to bite someone.

Fortunately, the chicken legs in his hand were stewed very badly, and Kui Yi swallowed the chicken in his mouth fiercely.

"Have you ever suffered a loss at the hands of Li Xiao?" Shuotuo rolled his eyes. The enemy of his enemy was his friend. The red-haired ghost was not only sharp with cannons, but he also heard that he was also powerful with fire blunderbuss.

I heard from my elder brother that the reason why Li Xiao was able to defeat the cavalry of the Zhenghong Banner and make the elite Zhengbai Banner suffer was because of the powerful firecrackers. If you can get the red-haired man's firecrackers, then...! If it can be done,

If you figure this out, the Great Khan will definitely give you a heavy reward after you return.

As long as you buy the fire gun, the status of the two red flags among the Eight Banners will still rise.

"Uh...! Let's not talk about this. Now that we have negotiated the business, we will deliver the goods as soon as possible...!" Hans didn't want to continue on this topic. It was a good thing that the sale was concluded. It was just a matter of how to make these people fulfill the contract. It was a pain in the ass.

Paying money quickly is the right thing to do.

"Wait! Tell him, I still want to buy a firecracker. The kind of firecracker they have!" Shuotuo stopped Hans and looked at Kuiyi and said.

"Okay!" After hearing Hans' translation, Kui agreed without any hesitation. As long as it can make Li Xiao suffer, he doesn't care about selling some muskets. Besides, he doesn't have so many soldiers now. Why do he need so many muskets?

"You don't have to help us train gunners. How about you send your people to put on our military uniforms and directly push the artillery into battle?" Shuo Tuo stared straight at Kui Yi.

"You want my soldiers to fight?"

"Yes, let your soldiers join the battle. As long as you can defeat Li Xiao, the price is not an issue." Shuo Tuo smiled and looked at Kui Yi. It could be seen from Kui Yi's hateful eyes that he would definitely agree.
