Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 498 Curative Tobacco
Under the guidance of the interpreter, two soldiers stepped forward and brought De Bauer over.

Sun Huacheng's figure can be considered tall, but compared with De Bauer, he is still a little short of his head. However, De Bauer stands upright, and Sun Huacheng has to raise his head to talk to him while sitting on a chair. The taste is indescribably awkward.

"Damn, it looks like I'm not destined to sit on a chair." Sun Huacheng stood up cursingly and said.

"General, please pay attention to politeness. Although I surrendered and became your prisoner, my identity is the governor, and I am on the same level as your Fujian governor. You should respect me and not use impoliteness in front of me. language," said De Bauer suddenly.

Sun Huacheng was surprised: "I'm stupid, you can speak our Ming Dynasty's words?"

De Bourr said lightly: "A little bit."

"You can speak our language, so why use him to convey the message?" Sun Huacheng pointed to the interpreter.

De Bauer smiled: "Interpreters are generally used on formal occasions."

"What do you mean?" Sun Huacheng asked.

"It means that if I talk to your lord governor about something serious, I will use him." De Bauer laughed.

Sun Huacheng then asked, "Why?"

De Bauer said: "This is about the dignity of the country and the individual. I wonder if you can understand it."

Sun Huacheng shook his head. De Bauer's words were undoubtedly a bit high-end for a rough man like him.

Sun Huacheng was about to ask De Bourner what he meant just now, when he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten the purpose of meeting De Bourner.

Sun Huacheng's purpose in meeting De Bauer was actually very simple, he just wanted to humiliate De Bauer and kill the spirit of the Dutchman.

In Sun Huacheng's view, the group of Dutch people dared to bargain with him when they were desperate, and they really lacked a lesson.

Of course, Sun Huacheng's desire to humiliate De Bauer is not a pain in the ass.

Because Sun Huacheng won’t be fine if he takes down Zeelandia City, and he still has to defend the city. It is not an easy task to defend Zeelandia City. To defend Zeelandia City, you must first guard the Luermen Port in the southwest .

If the port of Luermen cannot be defended, the Dutch fleet can continuously transport soldiers ashore. If a large number of Dutch soldiers land, there is no need to attack the city, but only to surround the city of Zeelandia. After a period of time, the city will be exhausted. Food is running out, and the Dutch captives are a lesson for Sun Huacheng.

However, Sun Huacheng had only about [-] people under his command. He had to defend the city of Zeelandia and the port of Luermen.

You must know that the Netherlands captured nearly 2000 people (including wounded soldiers), so many prisoners are not so easy to manage.This group of people are going to be prisoners and still have so many problems, it's hard to guarantee that they won't make trouble after being prisoners.

Sun Huacheng was short of troops. If the Dutch really made trouble, how would he suppress them?You can't kill them all, can you?If he could kill them all, why did Sun Huacheng go to such great lengths to capture them?
If you want to make this group of prisoners obedient, you have to deal with the leader of this group of people.And De Borr is the biggest leader of these Dutch people. Sun Huacheng thinks that as long as De Borr loses his temper, the soldiers below will be easy to manage.

Sun Huacheng didn't expect that he would be taught by De Bauer before he gave De Bauer a blow.As a result, Sun Huacheng's spirit suddenly disappeared.

Cursing himself secretly, Sun Huacheng coughed and said, "My surname is De, I don't tell you those useless things. I called you here to tell you that you guys had better be honest and obedient." , don’t make me unhappy, otherwise I will be rude to you.”

De Bourgh shook his head lightly, and said seriously: "Sir, I need to remind you that my surname is De Bourner, not De, and I protest to you again, you'd better be more polite.

As for what you said to let us be obedient, I don't understand what you mean.As prisoners, we know what we should do, please give us due respect. "

"Fuck, why are you so proud when you're already a prisoner?" Sun Huacheng wondered.

De Bauer smiled: "After I meet with your Lord Governor, we will be released soon."

"Why?" Sun Huacheng asked.

De Bauer shook his head, took out a pipe from his pocket, filled it with a cigarette, lit it, took a puff and said: "Because of the policy of opening up the sea ban you just formulated. Our Netherlands is now the overlord of the sea. If Ming wants to do sea trade, he must follow the We Dutch cooperate, and since our two countries are going to trade by sea, it is impossible to be hostile. Therefore, we will be released soon."

Sun Huacheng wondered: "Why do we have to cooperate with you? I heard that there is a French country in the west, and this country's maritime strength is not bad. We can cooperate with him."

De Bauer smiled: "The Franchi you mentioned is not a country, but the combined name of Spain and Portugal. I can tell you responsibly that these two countries are defeated by our Dutch."

After taking a puff of cigarette, De Bauer continued with a smile: "Actually, if you think about it a little bit, you should see that what I said is true.

We have talked so far, and I can see that your personality is very straightforward. If you lead troops to fight with such a personality, you will definitely not care about the enemy's casualties, let alone whether you capture prisoners or not.

You didn't forcefully attack my Governor's Mansion, which means you got the order from your boss not to cause too many casualties to us.

Your boss gave you such an order because he wanted to leave room for the relationship between our two countries. The purpose of doing so is naturally for future trade cooperation. "

"Fuck! Just because I didn't storm your Governor's Mansion, you guessed my Commander-in-Chief's order, amazing! Grandma, it's no wonder you can be the Governor. It seems that you are still capable." Sun Huacheng said in surprise.

De Bauer smiled: "I am not a soldier. I may not be good at fighting, but I still know a little about politics."

Sun Huacheng stretched out his thumb: "Admiration!"

Pointing to the pipe in De Bourger's hand with his finger: "What the hell are you, I see that you are still smoking from your mouth."

"Hehe, this is a pipe, and there is shredded tobacco in it. After lighting the shredded tobacco and inhaling it, it can cure diseases." De Bauer laughed.

(Note: Tobacco originated in the Americas. At first people thought that tobacco had the effect of curing diseases. In the 1560th century, the Spaniards brought tobacco to Luzon, and then to China. It was introduced to China between 1640 and [-]. At this time, smoking had not yet become popular throughout the Ming Dynasty. Although there were many soldiers in Liaodong who smoked, Sun Huacheng’s troops had no contact with Liaodong soldiers, so it’s not surprising that they haven’t seen them.)
"Can it cure diseases?" Sun Huacheng asked doubtfully.

De Bauer nodded and smiled, "Would you like to try it? It tastes good."

Sun Huacheng shook his head hastily: "I'm not sick, why are you smoking this stuff?"

De Bourger shook his head helplessly, knowing that it would be impossible for Sun Huacheng to change his claim to be Lao Tzu.

With a wry smile, De Bourr said: "You can smoke even if you are not sick, it can refresh you."

"Can you refresh yourself? I haven't closed my eyes since last night, and I'm sleepy. Give me a try." Sun Huacheng said.

De Bauer smiled and handed the pipe to Sun Huacheng.

Sun Huacheng took it, imitated De Bauer's example, took a breath, and then coughed uncontrollably from the smoke.

"Fuck, what is this, it's so choking!" Sun Huacheng scolded.

"Take a few more breaths and get used to it." De Bauer said with a smile.

Sun Huacheng took another breath suspiciously, although this time it was also very choking, but it was slightly less than before.

Tobacco has a refreshing effect. After taking two puffs, Sun Huacheng did not feel as sleepy as before.

Sun Huacheng was amazed: "Huh? This thing is quite interesting."

"The general likes it, so I will give this pipe to the general." De Bauer said with a smile.

Sun Huacheng shook his head: "You used this pipe, you should keep it for yourself, I will find someone to get one later."

De Bauer laughed and said, "What's a pipe? I have some ready-made ones at home, so I'll send one to the general."

"Do you have a useless pipe? Is there a better one?" Sun Huacheng asked.

De Bauer laughed: "The pipe I use is certainly not too bad."

Sun Huacheng shook his head: "I want the best."

"The general wants to give someone away? To the governor?" De Bauer asked.

Sun Huacheng shook his head lightly.

Sun Huacheng would never tell De Bauer that he wanted to get a pipe for Li Jing.

If De Bauer knew that the pipe was given to Li Jing, if he did something wrong with the pipe and caused trouble, Sun Huacheng would have nothing to redeem.

Smiling, De Bourr suddenly said: "We know each other, dare to ask the general's name?"

"Sun Huacheng." Sun Huacheng said.

"General Sun, why don't you come to my house and sit down. I'll fetch the pipe, and the general will choose one?" De Bauer laughed.

Sun Huacheng nodded, and said to the two officers beside him: "Each of you will lead a battalion, the second battalion will take the captives to the barracks and guard them, and then set up defenses in the city, and the first battalion will be stationed at Luermen, occupying favorable terrain, and blocking port."

"Yes!" The two officers replied.

"Wait a minute, General Sun. Many of these people are servants and female relatives of my family. Please don't take these people to the barracks." De Bourr hurriedly said.

Sun Huacheng nodded: "Leave the governor's family."

Looking at the captives on the opposite side, Sun Huacheng pointed to one person and said, "What does that person do? It seems that he is quite an official."

De Bauer said: "That is our garrison commander, General Firth, please give him the respect he deserves."

Sun Huacheng smiled: "Grandma, that kid is a general with only a few soldiers, and I am just a battalion commander who is similar to him. It seems that you are worthless as a general. Forget it, since you are a general, You have to show some face, don't wrong him, just watch him alone."

"Thank you, General Sun." De Bauer said hurriedly.

"Thank you, you all know that my superintendent will release him soon, and I don't have to make things difficult for you." Sun Huacheng laughed.

"General Sun is really straightforward." De Bauer laughed.

Sun Huacheng waved his hand: "Let's go, take me to your governor's mansion to have a look."

"Please, General Sun." De Bauer stretched out his hand to lead the way.
