Chapter 1178 Beating Smith
After hearing what the translation was said, Shahshuja finally realized that the British had deceived him.
Although he didn't understand why Smith did this, it did not prevent his resentment towards the British.
The raid last night ruined the naval army he had worked hard to run.
So many Mughals died in a night attack because of Smith's deception, and even they were almost drowned in the sea.
Shahshuja punched Smith, and Gao Huan waited for a while before he let him drive them away.
At this moment, Yang Yan came to report, "Report to Your Majesty, there is a small boat in the harbor, and you are here to catch the white flag!"
Gao Huan smiled and said, "Let them come here!"
After a battle last night, Gao Huan believed that the Western barbarians in the harbor should be temporarily defeated by him.
The Ganchao needs a stable Indian Ocean. With this war as the basis, the Ganchao should be able to establish a new order.
Soon, the boat approached Ganchao fleet, and the navy officers and soldiers sent warships to inspect, let the visitor undergo inspection, and then transferred to the Ganjun warship, and finally sent the flagship.
After all, they launched a crazy attack last night, and the Gan Army was not sure whether they had other intentions, so they needed to check them one by one to prevent them from splattering blood.
At this time, on the deck of Ganjun's flagship, Gao Huan sat majestic, with a group of civil and military officials standing beside him.
Frenchman Mark came over with a group of people to salute Gao Huan and express his purpose, "Dear Emperor, the strength of the Ganchao fleet has won our respect, and we are willing to surrender to the powerful Ganchao!"
The translation was translated for Gao Huan, and Mark and others were waiting aside, and everyone was extremely nervous.
"Your Majesty has given you generous conditions, but you don't agree. Isn't it that I'm going to come here to toast and not eat the punishment?" Qian Bingding said coldly.
Mark and others were shocked. The Spanish were right. Doing a whip of God is the whip of God, and the Mongolians who kill without blinking.
If they are white slaves, the conditions are still quite good. So what are the more excessive conditions for working in court now?
Mark and others secretly hated Smith, all of whom were blamed for being Smith. Now the white slaves have nothing to do, and they may be killed and vent their anger.
For a moment, everyone's faces were pale, and Mark quickly defended: "It's all the British. We are willing to accept the original conditions, that the British will attack the army."
Everyone agreed, but Smith had no idea of life and death, so he probably had fallen into the sea to feed the fish.
Gao Huan turned his eyes to the side and asked, "Smith, is that true?"
Mark and others turned their heads and couldn't help but be shocked, and then they saw Smith lying on the ground, beaten by the fuck so hard that he knew him.
This made Mark and others embarrassed. When they came to surrender, they had already discussed and prepared to put all the blame on the British.
Now that Smith is not dead, and is on the boat, he feels a brief sense of shame in his heart.
Smith was raised up roughly by the fuck soldiers. He was now shocked and frightened. Seeing that the French were about to push all the responsibility on him, he shook his head and said furiously: "Okay! You guys actually blame me for the responsibility. It's so shameless to want Da Ying to accept the punishment alone!"
As he said that, Smith looked at Gao Huan and said excitedly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, how is this possible! They are all healthy people, how can I control their thoughts? They all want to gain benefits, so they actively participate in the war."
After failing to break through, he was arrested again. In order not to be executed, he quickly defended himself.
Gao Huan's eyes turned to Mark, and he showed an inquiring expression, "Is that the case?"
Mark and others were furious and argued: "Your Majesty, this is not the case. We had already agreed to the terms of the government, and were willing to pay 10 million ounces of silver as war reparations. And the East India companies of various countries were willing to withdraw from the Indian Ocean and did not have a living with the Mughals. We were also willing to accept the punishment of the government, even if we went to the government as slaves. It was Smith who said that he pretended to agree and confused the government army, and he mentioned that Britain had defeated the Spanish Invincible Armada and fanned us to launch a raid!"
Gao Huan raised his eyebrows at Wenyu, "Have I put forward such conditions?"
Qian Bingding shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, the conditions I told the British are clearly to admit failure, ban the sale of opium, crack down on pirates, open up the market, and then pay the ransom and release people. There is no ten million ounces of silver, or the conditions to be a slave!"
"What?" Mark and others were stunned for a moment when they heard the words, and then looked at Smith angrily.
In an instant, everyone's guilt disappeared, replaced by incomparable anger.
Smith's heart trembled when he was snatching the gaze of the crowd. He felt that he might be beaten again. He couldn't help but move backwards instinctively until he approached the side of the ship.
Gao Huan smiled when he saw this, and his goal was achieved again.
Mark was furious, "Farke Squid, the damn British guy, deceived us again and caused us all to be bad! Kill him!"
The merchants from all over the country were excited and were ready to pounce on Smith, but they were stopped by the fuck soldiers.
Gao Huan stroked his beard and smiled and said, "How many silver dollars are there in 10 million ounces of silver? In addition, you will withdraw from the Indian Ocean and become slaves to Dakan. This is a good condition!"
When Mark and others heard the words, they felt regretful in their hearts.
Damn British, he deceived everyone. Originally, they only had to admit defeat and pay a part of the ransom to leave Malacca. But now the emperor who is in charge of the court thinks that they can even accept being white slaves and will definitely choose the conditions for the British to deceive them.
For a moment, Mark hated Smith to the core, and the Dutch and the Danes cursed the British in their hearts.
Smith's shamelessness made them lose silver and personal freedom.
Qian Bingding said: "Your Majesty, this condition is indeed good. Since they are willing to accept it, I think this is the condition!"
When Mark and others didn't know the previous conditions, they would definitely breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that at least they would not have to be slaughtered and could accept such harsh conditions.
However, now they know the favorable conditions before and don’t have to be slaves at all, so they are unwilling to accept the current conditions.
However, they had already said that, and Mark and others were extremely regretful, but they had no effect and could only curse the British.
"Dear Emperor, our slaves, we cannot bring or create much wealth to Ganguo. We are willing to pay extra money to redeem our freedom. Please give your merciful Majesty the approval!" Mark hurriedly said: "This money is definitely greater than the wealth created by being a slave. It is also a cost-effective business for Ganguo!"
Gao Huan thought for a while when he heard the word, but did not reply immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Qian Bingding and said in a deep voice: "My dear, please discuss with them and make a new treaty as appropriate!"
Qian Bingding then stood up and said, "Take them into the cabin to discuss!"
The soldiers led everyone into the cabin. Before Mark and everyone entered the cabin, they glared at Smith fiercely.
Smith knew that from now on, he and the British Empire East India Company were not easy to get along in India and even Europe.
