Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 298 Humiliated but helpless
Seeing Howard's natural appearance, Overstraten was a little confused-you want to pretend to be the Ming army, and you have to tell the Ming army in advance?

Are you directly planning to tell the Ming army that your English East India Company and our Dutch East India Company are actually waste, and you can’t even handle a diaper head, so you have to borrow the reputation of your Ming army to settle the matter?
After a long while of silence, Overstraten said: "This... Although your proposal sounds very good, why did the army of the Ming Dynasty agree to you? This kind of thing should not be just one The vanguard troops stationed here can call the shots, right?"

Howard said: "Of course, this kind of thing is not something that can be decided by a leading army-if it is any country, this kind of thing must be known to His Majesty the King, at least with the permission of the high-level military, and other countries also It's impossible to allow us to do that."

Speaking of this, Howard suddenly changed the subject and said, "But it's different if it's the Ming Kingdom, or, since this is Tianzhu, the Ming Kingdom shouldn't care."

Overstraten frowned, and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Howard said with a smile: "Because, Tianzhu will be the territory of the Ming Kingdom in the future, and before it becomes the territory of the Ming Kingdom, the barbarians here need to be cleaned up. Well, the barbarians refer to people who are as innocent as diapers like Tianzhu. A remote and small country that the Ming Dynasty paid tribute to."

Overstraten's brows suddenly frowned even tighter: "Speaking of which, neither the Netherlands nor your England paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that we are also barbarians?"

Howard shook his head and said, "No, we are not barbarians."

However, just as Overstraten secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Howard said as if he was gasping for breath: "According to the Ming people, we are considered Western barbarians, which probably means western barbarians."

Overstraten looked at Howard in a bewildered expression, wondering what is the difference between this riding horse and Tianzhu's diaper heads?Anyway, they are all barbarians, the only difference is that the barbarians in Tianzhu are closer to the Ming country, while we are far away in Europe in the west?
Howard went on to say: "Of course, this refers to us in the past, or refers to the other countries in Europa now. It has nothing to do with us, England, your Netherlands, and those damn French frogs."

"Don't forget, we are all part of the same small broken pot now, and we are allies with the Ming country—or, in the eyes of the people of the Ming country, we can now be regarded as their same kind, and we are all human beings .”

"Oh, and sand geese and those damned stupid burglars, they are all like us now, they can be called human beings."

Listening to Howard's words, Overstraten didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The happy thing is that I can finally be regarded as a human being in the eyes of the people of the Ming country, but the sad thing is that it is up to the people of the Ming country to say whether I am a human being or not?
It’s just that Overstraten also understands in his heart that now Ming has the right to speak for Xiao Poqiu. Their emperor says which country’s people are people, and that country’s people are people. If their emperor says which country’s people are people If people are barbarians, then the people of that country can only be regarded as barbarians.

Take the Netherlands, for example.

The Netherlands was considered a powerful country at the beginning. At the farthest point, it could even go to the Ming country to compete with the Ming country for the Penghu Islands and the Great Liuqiu. Although it was beaten several times by Ming, it is enough to show that the Netherlands was also Awesome.

It's a pity that such an awesome past has finally become a thing of the past. Not only is the Netherlands no longer the scenery of the former sea coachman, but it can't even keep its own country. This time, the Netherlands can be re-established, and it is also the old port. It was exchanged with the Ming emperor.

humiliation?
If it were any normal person, I am afraid that no one would not feel humiliated.

However, this was the reality. Not only could Holland not be able to resist, but it had to put on an expression of enjoyment, so as not to make the Ming emperor unhappy.

Just when Overstraten was secretly feeling sad and helpless for the Netherlands or for himself, Howard went on to say: "What are we doing now? We are recruiting labor for the Ming Dynasty. We are going to take those diapers here. The chiefs are turned into labourers."

"So, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely agree with our approach, because this approach can solve these diaper heads in the shortest time, which is the most beneficial to the Ming Kingdom."

"Don't worry, Overstraten, no one will know what we have done in the future, or in other words, no one will care about what we have done."

Overstraten said: "However, the consequence of what we did is that we took the initiative to hand over the handle to the Ming people. Once they need it, they can say that we used to pretend to be their army."

Howard nodded, and just when Overstraten thought he would agree with his statement, Howard asked again: "What does it matter?"

"If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to attack Europa, do you think there is any country in Europa that can resist the Ming army? Rely on you? Or rely on me? If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has no intention of attacking Europa, then we will take the initiative to hand over the handle to What can the emperor of the Ming Dynasty do?"

"It's nothing bad, at least it won't have any bad impact on the current situation. On the contrary, we may also get some benefits-the Ming people have a saying, "Jane is in the heart of the emperor", which means that you have done something. If something makes the emperor remember you, then you will get benefits beyond your imagination."

"Of course, for people like us, it doesn't really matter whether the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will deliberately remember our benefits. The important thing is to let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty know that both our English East India Company and your Dutch East India Company It is enough to serve the Ming country.”

Overstraten was eventually persuaded by Howard.

For Overstraten, it doesn't really matter whether the Ming emperor can remember him or not. The important thing is to be able to deal with the diaper heads on Tianzhu's side as soon as possible.

Only by quickly solving the problems of these diaper heads can the Dutch East India Company respond to William I's call, return to the Netherlands, and rebuild the Netherlands.

Only when the Netherlands is re-established can the situation of the Dutch East India Company be stabilized, at least it will not be like it is now, and there is not even a country behind it that can speak for the East India Company.

Thinking of this, Overstraten nodded and said, "Okay, you won, you successfully convinced me—then what should we do next?"

Howard chuckled, and said, "What should I do? Of course, go to the vanguard of the Ming army stationed in Tianzhu, explain the situation to them first, and let them find a way to report the news to the top of the Ming army."

Overstraten said: "Can't we go directly to the top of the Ming army?"

When asked by Overstraten, Howard immediately looked at Overstraten with a look of caring for the mentally retarded, and asked, "Do you know the high-level members of the Ming army? Do you know how to contact the Ming army?" the upper echelon?"

Before Overstraten could answer, Howard said to himself: "Don't be stupid, the supreme control of the Ming army has always been in the hands of the Ming emperor. If we contact the Ming army by ourselves High-level, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to us at all."

"Yes, I admit that it is easy for us to meet His Majesty George III or your Majesty William I, but you have to know that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty not only has the status of Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he is also the head of the five benevolent people of Xiaopoguo , It’s not something people like us can see if they want to.”

Overstraten sighed helplessly again, accepting this humiliating but helpless reality.

And the vanguard of Daming stationed in Tianzhu...

Yang Daniu, who has already been promoted to the position of regimental leader, became confused immediately after receiving the request from Overstraten and Howard.

Yang Daniu knew that England's army was useless, but Yang Daniu didn't expect that they would be so useless that they could be driven into the sea by the three buddies from Tianzhu.

Yang Daniu even began to wonder whether the third brothers he met when he first came to Tianzhu were the same as the third brothers he met with the armed forces of the East India Company in England?
Or, what kind of oil did the three buddies collectively smear?Suddenly became awesome?

Of course, no matter what changes happened to the three buddies, and no matter how useless the armed forces of the English East India Company and the Dutch East India Company are, these things are not matters that a regiment leader Yang Daniu should care about.

For Yang Daniu, after receiving the information and passing it back to the mainland of Daming, all that remains is to wait for His Majesty the Emperor’s order. If it is allowed, then let the three buddies live for a while longer.

Then, Yang Daniu asked someone to send the news directly back to Daming, and the news went directly to Zhu Jinsong—sent a telegram from Tianzhu to Myanmar, then sent a telegram from Myanmar to Nanjing, and then sent a telegram from Nanjing. It took more than half a day to spread it to Beijing.

The speed of the telegram did not exceed Zhu Jinsong's expectation, nor did the progress of the British and Dutch East India Company go smoothly. What really surprised Zhu Jin was that the British and Dutch East India Company would be so useless .

Of course, what Zhu Jinsong didn't expect was that the two people involved in the British and Dutch East India companies would come up with such a nonsense idea.

Zhu Jinsong shook the telegram in his hand, and said to Zeng Cheng, Zhu Erdan and other bigwigs: "Let's all take a look, Tianzhu is now being turned into this by those wastes from the British and Dutch East India companies."

After Zhu Jinsong put down the telegram, Zhu Erdan took it over first, and Zhu Erdan's first reaction was similar to that of Yang Daniu, basically with a look of bewilderment.

Zhu Erdan felt fortunate that these two wastes were not his subordinates. If such wastes appeared in the former military governor's mansion, he, the king of Qin of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of the former military governor's mansion, would not be able to find a piece of tofu to kill him?
Of course, how useless or embarrassing these two wastes are is ultimately up to the two barbarians themselves, but can they agree to their request?What do you think, Brother Huang?
After thinking about it, Zhu Erdan simply handed the telegram to Zhu Sanshun, and then said: "I think it's okay to agree to the request of these two savages. Anyway, they did the thing. Even if someone mentions it in the future, we can treat it as an excuse." I don't know."

Zhu Sanshun, who had just finished reading the telegram, also nodded and agreed: "I think so too, anyway, it's just a matter of a few flags, as long as these two barbarians can clean up Tianzhu."

But Zeng Cheng frowned and asked: "They did the thing, but the banner under the banner was our Daming's. According to the history books..."

Zhu Erdan asked back: "What about the history books? I know what Elder Zeng Ge meant, but we have history books in the Ming Dynasty, and the history books will clearly record that the British and Dutch East India companies did these crap things. Where do those barbarians have any history books?" ?”

When Zhu Erdan said this, Zeng Cheng didn't know what to say.

As Zhu Erdan said, Ming Dynasty has history books, which will clearly record this matter, but what kind of history books do those barbarians have?

Of course, if this epic and that legend can also be regarded as history books, then Europa still has several history books—although such so-called history books are more like fairy tales.

But looking at it from another angle, today these barbarians can recruit labor under the banner of the Ming army, who knows if they will have similar ideas in the future?

In other words, will Ming's flag become worthless because of this?
After careful consideration, Zeng Cheng still shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I object to letting those barbarians use the banner of our Ming Dynasty to act."

After Zeng Cheng explained his reasons, Zhu Erdan couldn't help but retort: ​​"Mr. Zeng Ge is too careful, even if they borrow the banner of our Daming, what bad things can they do?" influences?"

"Think about it, Da Ming has the final say on the whole little broken ball now. Even if those barbarians know the inside story, would anyone dare to say something? Besides, those barbarians can't deal with the Tianzhu barbarians, and they will be affected later. Isn’t it our Daming?”

"Even after this incident, those barbarians will become more courageous. Could it be that the million-dollar army in the five-army governor's mansion of the Ming Dynasty is a vegetarian?"

The two couldn't argue with each other, so they simply set their sights on Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, but what Zeng Cheng, Zhu Erdan and others didn't expect was that Zhu Jinsong shook his head and said, "I disagree."
