Chapter 43: No matter how you say it, everything is right

Chapter 43: No matter what the truth is, it is correct

Leoni has recently been studying the Ming Dynasty's "The Classic of Filial Piety".

She didn’t quite understand the awkward truths in this book. However, in the appendix of the book "The Book of Filial Piety", there was an illustrated reading book called "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" picture".

This book is full of pictures and texts, and Leonie quickly understood its meaning.

It’s just that she thinks this book is not good!

So, by extension, I have a very bad impression of the "Book of Filial Piety".

"Is the emperor's brother an elephant?"

"A 70-year-old man chooses to pretend to fall to make his older parents laugh?"

"In order to support the mother, the son should be buried?"

"The wooden statue of the parents would bleed when a needle was pricked, so the wife was divorced?"

"The mother was afraid of thunder, and the mother died After that, when there is thunder, you still have to go to your mother's grave and shout "Mom, don't be afraid"? Without fresh bamboo shoots, Meng Zong had no choice but to run to the bamboo forest alone, holding the bamboo and crying. After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of the ground cracking and saw several young bamboo shoots growing on the ground."

"My stepmother thought? Eating live carp, it was freezing cold. Wang Xiang took off his clothes and lay on the ice. The ice suddenly melted and two carp jumped out. After eating it, his stepmother recovered from his illness."

"Want to try it? Taste the smell of the patient's father's feces?"

"My mother-in-law wants to drink my daughter-in-law's milk without eating?"

"Oh my God, the people of Ming Dynasty are so pitiful..."< /p>

Leonie decided not to read these things anymore. No matter which one, Leonie felt that she couldn't do it. She even suspected that the people in the book couldn't do it, especially the one lying on the ice. The one about melting ice and jumping out of carp is bullshit.

Leonie lay down on the ice. She did not melt the ice. On the contrary, she almost froze to death.

"Dear Zhang, can you do the things described in the book? For example, taste your father's feces?"

When Zhang Chuanli came, Leonie immediately asked Ask him for advice.

Zhang Chuanli was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the book in Leonie's hand, he immediately understood that it was the story of the twenty-four filial piety. He shook his head and said: "The whole Ming Dynasty, and even since ancient times, Since then, only this person named Yu Qianlou has done it."

"So, does your wife want to breastfeed your mother?"

"My family is normal. , there is no such weird thing."

"So, have you ever laid on the ice and tried to melt it?"

"Do I look stupid?"< /p>

"Oh, so, everything in this book is all a story, right?"

Zhang Chuanli took the illustration of the Twenty-Four Filial Piety, put it on the table and said: "This book It’s about parents who love themselves, but they chose the wrong example.It is too extreme and cannot be used as a reference for daily life.

Just like the Bible you have been studying, in real life, your Lord cannot make the blind regain their sight, the lame cannot become normal, the mute cannot speak, nor can he part the sea to reveal a sea. A wide road. "

"This is different, that is the Son, the Holy Spirit, and he has enough power to do this. "

"Oh, the same goes for the people in this book. They are also saints, so you can't be surprised if they do some strange things. "

"How much did you sell my father for? "

Leonie has always disliked others arguing with her about the Bible. Since it is already called the Bible, there is no room for others to comment.

"Your father thinks He added the 4,600 captives worth a million galleons.

Leoni frowned and said: "It's too little. I thought fifteen million sailing ship silver coins was a fair price." "

Zhang Chuanli said: "I didn't count on fifteen million. I think it would be good to have ten million silver coins for the general to build her beloved Nanyang Academy. "

Leoni said: "Can you leave this matter to me? I think I am relatively familiar with this Count Wren. "

Zhang Chuanli said worriedly: "This will damage your image in the eyes of others. ”

Leoni said calmly: “This is our family matter, I think others will understand.” ”

Zhang Chuanli handed the cell key to Leonie. He also felt that Leonie could extort 10 million sailing silver coins from his father.

So, he was eager to know to what extent the East India Dutch Company, which had been entrenched in the South Ocean for decades, failed and whether it could be supported. Han Xiufen, the governor of Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty, had the power to resist.

For this reason, he contacted the top officials of the European countries in India and prepared to form a resolution, and then use the collective name to issue an ultimatum to the governor of Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty. . To ensure that the presence of the Dutch East India Company in Southeast Asia is in the interests of all countries, the Ming Dynasty cannot invade it at will.

They are actively discussing and believe that the First Fleet of the Ming Navy should be further asked to release the Strait of Malacca. When the blockade made this important strait connecting East and West maritime trade a public sea, Governor Raymond received a document from Han Xiufen.

Han Xiufen expressed his wishes in the document. It was very obvious and the words were very polite. She believed that when European countries were cutting meat from the elephant of India, the Ming Empire was indispensable.

If the governors of European countries could not be there. The profit distribution statement is thoroughIf it fully reflects the interests of the Ming Empire, then the First Fleet of the Ming Navy will also enter India to get a share of the pie.

This request is extremely excessive.

At least Governor Raymond thinks so. The British Empire has been operating India for ten years. They creatively cooperated with Indian princes and entered India through this method. Under the banner of helping the princes to unify India, they crazily grabbed India's wealth. The effect of this was very good.

Nowadays, the Indian princes in the south have gradually won the war against the princes in the north. As long as the armies of the southern princes can continue to advance north, they will be able to harvest more wealth.

Now, trouble, Han Xiufen is coming in.

And judging from the documents she sent, Han Xiufen was planning to start from the north, support a group of northern princes who dared to resist the army of southern princes, and stage a tug-of-war on the vast plains of India.

"Han Xiufen is too greedy. Fifteen second-class battleships from the Dutch East India Company have arrived this time. I think the cannons on these battleships will shut up this ugly woman."< /p>

Jung, the newly arrived director of the Dutch East India Company, sneered at Han Xiufen's suggestion.

Raymond looked at the young Jung with a smile and said: "If the Dutch East India Company is willing to send fifteen second-level warships to attack Malacca, then the British Empire will also send five second-level warships to follow. .

In this matter, our interests are the same, and this empire from the east is an alien to us. If we can't block these yellow people in the Strait of Malacca, I will. I think you continental European countries will once again taste the taste of being beaten by the whip of God.

The last whip of God was a group of losers who were driven to the European continent by the Han people. This time, You will directly face this group of most ferocious enemies. Congressman Pierre, I know that the British Empire and France have gone through 116 years of war, hate each other, and are even at war now. However, in India , I hope we can unite to defeat this arrogant oriental woman first, and then divide our interests."

"Governor Raymond wants to enter the Strait of Malacca. The participation of the navy alone is not enough. We all know that the Countess of the East built sixty-one permanent forts in Malacca.

And these heavy artillery are the biggest threat to our fleet, since we have all. Everyone wants to get rid of the hidden danger of the Ming Empire, so they must first dispatch the army to clear out these forts. Otherwise, once our warships enter the waterway, they will become living targets for these forts.

Now, who can volunteer to help us clear these obstructive forts?

Congressman Pierre, the French Army has always been known for its bravery, can you take on this important task? ”

Jung, a young director of the Dutch East India Company, seemed to have an interest in Pierre, the French governor in India.There seems to be more hostility.

The European nobles present here all know the significance of Jung and Raymond's insistence on dragging France into the water.

Since Charles I convened a parliament in 1640 and the members demanded to limit the king's rights and succeeded, the domestic situation in France was like a powder keg being roasted on a fire.

Compared with the Ming Empire, which was also an imperial system, the French were extremely dissatisfied with the person in the king's position. Therefore, many knowledgeable people believed that France at this time was the most powerful country in Europe. The most dangerous enemy on the continent.

Governor Pierre did not answer the questions of Jung and Raymond, but spread his hands and said: "Isn't India big enough? I think such a big India can accommodate all of us. People."

After hearing Governor Pierre's words, both Raymond and Jung seemed very silent.

However, Governor Pierre did not stop speaking. He said to Jung: "His Excellency Renn, the legendary director of the Dutch East India Company, has now become a prisoner of Governor Han Xiufen. Together with him, Also captured were 4,600 staff and sailors of the Dutch East India Company, as well as officers and soldiers.

Moreover, just three days before Governor Raymond held this meeting, I received a message. A personal letter from Governor Han Xiufen, in which she hoped that I could discuss with Director Jung whether I could give her 10 million sailing silver coins so that she could have the money to build a university that would benefit the entire Nanyang.

I agree with this matter and promised Governor Han Xiufen that I will find at least ten professors for her from Paris.

I hope Director Jung can promise Han. Governor Xiufen's wise idea to quell the war brought the goddess of peace to this turbulent sea."
