Chapter 170: Say it and start it
Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty knows that the Folang machine cannon plays a very important role in the Ming Dynasty.
At first, a warship of the Folang Jiren clashed with the Ming navy outside Macau and was later captured by the Ming army. During the battle, the Ming army suffered the loss of the Folang cannon, so as soon as it got ashore, it asked the court to imitate the Folang cannon.
It is precisely because of the help of the technology of the Flang Jiren, the Flang Jiren was able to do business in Macau and coastal cities in Guangdong. At this time, the Flang Jiren did not violate the Ming Dynasty's borders repeatedly invaded the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was generally considered to be quite abide by the rules, so the Ming Dynasty did not have much hostility towards the Flang Jiren at this moment.
When the Ming Dynasty first started to imitate the Folang machine cannon, it was not used in land warfare, but was mostly equipped on ships. Now, the Thousand Gates of the Weird Warriors contacted the Folang machine to make artillery not to equip some ships, but to use it for land warfare.
Just by the strength of the Weird War Sect, even if they have a large number of Flang machine cannons, they cannot cause any major storms. Therefore, it is certain that there is a master behind the Weird War Sect.
Jiang Xia followed Zhong Bin to the night city area of Nanjie in casual clothes, which was the place where Folang Jiren lived.
There are not many people in the capital, most of whom are in Guangdong and Macau.
Sometimes it can be understood in this way that Guangdong and Macau are like Folang Ji people in the two base camps of the Ming Dynasty, while the remaining small number of Folang Ji people are in the capital. The activities in these places in Zhejiang are just like marketing promoters developing customers and markets.
However, in terms of the richness of the products, the Folang Ji people are not as good as the Central Plains, so more often they purchase silk, porcelain, tea, spices and other goods from all over the Central Plains to sell them back to Portugal.
But finally they still have a Flor cannon technology, which has attracted many people to buy it.
Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin came to the night city of Nanjie. As the name suggests, this place usually looks hot and lively when it is at night. It is not yet noon, and the streets seem deserted and there are not many people doing business. Only a few shops with shops are doing business with doors open.
Zhong Bin pointed to an inn, which was where the Folang Ji people who were contacted by the Wei Bing Sect lived.
As we all know, Chinese is the most profound language in the world. Therefore, generally speaking, there are not many people who know Chinese among the Folang Ji people. Generally, the Folang Ji people can just say a few words, and very few people can express the meaning in full. Therefore, every time the Folang Ji people go far, they will carry one or two translators. Such a translation may be a Folang Ji people, or a Chinese.
After Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin entered the inn, they saw several Folang Jimen gesturing something there, saying "Hey, hey, wow" and seemed a little anxious and angry.
A middle-aged man dressed in a shopkeeper looked impatient. He shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. In short, you have owed five days of housing money. If you don't pay it, I will drive you out."
After saying that, the shopkeeper clapped his hands, and five or six burly men walked out of the inn. Each burly man was holding a big wooden stick in his hand. The five burly men were shocked.
Jiang Xia said: "Forget it, they said their translator stole their money and ran away, but they will get a sum of money right away, and ask you to give them a few more days."
After saying that, Jiang Xia turned around and started talking to the Folang Jimen.
After a while of communication between the two sides, Jiang Xia took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper, and said, "I'll help them pay the house first, and the rest will be temporarily stored in you and let them deduct it as house money. In addition, prepare a good banquet for me."
"Okay, please wait."
The shopkeeper immediately smiled, and the burly men immediately put down their sticks, pulled out a rag from their arms and put it on their shoulders. One of them shouted loudly: "The best banquet is a table, the distinguished guests are anxious, hurry up in the kitchen."
Jiang Xia suddenly felt speechless. The speed of changing faces was from Sichuan Opera?
Jiang Xia said something to the Folang Jimen, and then the Folang Jimen shook hands with Jiang Xia very friendly, followed Jiang Xia to the upper room and sat down.
The five Flangji people all came from Guangdong, and they had just arrived not long ago. The person in charge was named Ian Sarri. It is said that they came to discuss a business. Who knew that the business had not been negotiated but the translator stole their money and ran away. If Jiang Xia had not helped them, they would have to sleep on the street tonight, so Ian Sarri was very grateful to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia shook her head and said in Portuguese: "Ming Ming Dynasty is a country that talks about etiquette and will not let foreign friends be wronged."
After hearing this, Ian Surry gave Jiang Xia a thumbs up.
After the two sides communicated for a while, the waiter of the inn served all the wine and food. Jiang Xia and these Florians pushed the cups together during the meal. During the meal, Jiang Xia kept talking to Ian Surry, and using the wine and food to relax Ian Surry's vigilance, Jiang Xia had basically known what Jiang Xia wanted to know.
Ian Surry and the people from the Bingbing Sect met in Guangdong. Later, the people from the Bingbing Sect asked them to sell a few Franc cannons and went back to test them.
Perhaps they were very powerful after trying it, so the Weibing Sect sent someone to Guangdong to tell them that they wanted to buy more Franco cannons, which may start at least five hundred.
Hearing such a large number, Ian Sarri and the others agreed that the five of them would come to the capital to find the people from the Guijian Sect to sign the contract. The contract was just signed two days ago, and the first deposit was also given, but the money was stolen by their translator. They now don’t even have the travel fee to Guangdong.
Jiang Xia also asked where to send the artillery to when it is ready, but Ian Sarri said that the other party would tell them when it is ready.
After considering it, Jiang Xia expressed his willingness to help lend them the money to them and let them return to Guangdong, but in order to ensure that Ian Surry and others would return the money he had lent them to them, Ian Surry had to hand him over the contract they signed, and when they returned to Guangdong and sent someone to send them back the money, he would return it to them.
Finally, I met someone willing to help, but Ian Sarri nodded and agreed after considering it. Anyway, Jiang Xia was useless to hold the contract, so he was not worried.
He took out the contract from the bag he carried at any time and handed it to Jiang Xia. After seeing Hua Yundi's signature on it, Jiang Xia suddenly laughed in his heart. He nodded and took out a thousand taels of treasure money from his arms and handed it to Ian Sarri.
After taking the Baochao, Ian Surry thanked him very much.
Neither Jiang Xia nor Zhong Bin expected things to go so smoothly. After they got the contract, they hurriedly left the Nanjie Night City District.
On the way to send Zhong Bin back to Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xia asked him: "What are you going to do next?"
"Catch people and torture the firearms to the point where they will be sent." Zhong Bin said.
When Jiang Xia heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up with praise and said, "Well, you really have to do such a righteous thing."
After saying that, Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin separated.
Since Zhong Bin also had to report to the Nanzhen Fushi Department, he could not immediately take people to round up the people of the Guijian Sect. In order to ensure that the people of the Guijian Sect would be caught in one go, Jiang Xia asked Feng Xiao to immediately notify the Lianheng Sect to come and quietly guard several intersections of the Guijian Sect headquarters, and never let one person become a fish that misses the net.
The Jinyiwei's reaction speed was really not slow. In the afternoon, several Jinyiwei from Thousand Houses came out one after another. The Nanzhen Fushi Office's Pacification Office personally led the team to surround the Tianyuan Qi Club, which is the main hall of the Guijian Sect.
At the order of the tutor, some of the Jinyiwei broke through the front and back doors, while some of them climbed over the wall and went in.
Jiang Xia, who was sitting on the second floor of the inn opposite Tianyuan Chess Club, heard the sound of "ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
No matter how powerful the sect is, once you step into opposition to the court and the court is determined to wipe out you, then you will never be able to survive.
Those examples of blatantly occupying the mountains and claiming to be kings and gathering people to rebel but not being cleared out must have happened in troubled times, and peaceful times like Zhengde's dynasty were absolutely impossible.
Jiang Xia had just finished drinking Biluochun in the teacup and put down the teacup and was about to pour another cup of tea for herself. Geng Zhongqiu and Bai Hongyun came together.
When Bai Hongyun saw Jiang Xia, he bowed respectfully and bowed with fists and said, "See the leader."
Jiang Xia waved his hands and asked, "How? How did you do the work of intercepting the remnants of the Weird Soldiers?"
Bai Hongyun glanced at Geng Zhongqiu, and it seemed that something happened, so he didn't dare to report it himself.
Geng Zhongqiu said: "The disciples of the Guijian Sect were surrounded by the Jinyiwei, and none of them could run out. Their eight-goal generals of the Thousand Sects and the Fire Sects were not in the main hall, so the rest were stopped by us.
Unfortunately, Hua Yundi and his two great guardians, all four Vajras, escaped. In addition, there were five strangers who followed them, and we didn’t know them. We only knew that they had high martial arts skills, and the ones responsible for intercepting them were Leng Yu and Ma Hongxin, and both of them were injured."
"Are Leng Yu and Ma Hongxin both injured?"
Jiang Xia frowned slightly.
Leng Yu and Ma Hongxin are both one of the four great Vajras. In terms of martial arts, they have long been at the level of the three major cauldrons. Unexpectedly, they were still injured when they took action together, which shows that there are many masters on the other side.
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Now the Weird Sect has been listed as a rebel party by the Jinyiwei. Even if they escape, they can only hide and will not dare to appear openly. You two will go down and arrange for the disciples to meet the headquarters."
"Yes!" Geng Zhongqiu and Bai Hongyun greeted Jiang Xia together, and then the two said, "I will leave."
