Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

After glancing at everyone in the cabin, Liu Wenbing said: "Now let's talk about how to deal with the matter.

The Marquis said first, that little Ellis and those two businessmen must be rescued, no matter what the price is, they must be rescued, otherwise we have no way to explain to His Majesty.

But this time the arms trade, you all know how much profit there will be, and how many benefits there will be, so you have to rescue people without affecting this trade.

Now that Cromwell never mentions anything about little Ellis and those two businessmen, the situation has begun to develop in another direction. "

Liu Xiaoyao sneered and said, "Cromwell is an absolute hero. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is ruthless. He wants to make use of the existence of these three people to prevent our fleet from fully attacking England. .

As for how many ordinary people in England will die, it is not within the scope of Cromwell's concern.

But Cromwell can not care about the death of ordinary people in England, but we have to care about the life and death of Little Ellis and the two Ming merchants. This is the most troublesome thing.

However, when things are in such a situation, there is actually no solution. Speaking of which, it all depends on how determined and courageous Master Hou is? "

Liu Wenbing sneered and said, "Determination? Courage? Since when did the Marquis lack that thing? Brother, tell me directly, is there any way to get these three guys out?"

Liu Xiaoyao sneered and said, "Since the conventional method doesn't work, like shelling their port, let's change to a more direct method!"

Chapter 787 No matter how big the price is, it's worth it!

Liu Wenbing immediately became interested.

Liu Xiaoyao's identity was very transparent. Everyone knew that he was sent by Jin Yiwei to the East India Company. Now that Liu Xiaoyao suddenly said that he wanted to change to a more direct method, he probably got new instructions.

Before Liu Wenbing could ask a question, Liu Xiaoyao directly took out a piece of paper from his bosom, handed it to Liu Wenbing, and said, "Your Majesty already knows the current situation. In order to ensure the safety of our people in Ming Dynasty, Jin Yiwei will directly send someone to execute it." In the rescue operation, the Suez Canal Fleet fully cooperated."

After Liu Wenbing looked at the paper in his hand, he couldn't help stroking the beard on his chin with his right hand, and thought about it: "A team of 12 people? Give them a location, they will conduct a surprise attack to save people, and then withdraw to the sea? Is it risky?" Bigger?"

Seeing the doubts on Liu Xiaoyao's face, Liu Wenbing explained: "Even if the combat capability of this 12-member team can be compared to ten, it is quite difficult to rescue people from London and then retreat to the sea.

Moreover, we are now in the port of Southampton, not directly next to the port in London, so the risk of going by land is much greater.

As for sending warships to the port in London to meet them, are you sure that the barbarians in England won't find out in advance and jump over the wall in a hurry? "

Liu Xiaoyao said: "Your Majesty's worry is actually unnecessary. Jinyiwei employs locals in the hands of Londoners. Whether it is language, appearance or even behavior, they are all the same as those English barbarians. They are here, and it is not difficult to hide their tracks.

In addition, in order to ensure the success of their operations, the Suez Canal Fleet needs to increase pressure on Cromwell and divert their attention. "

After waving his hand and ordering everyone in the cabin to leave, Liu Wenbing said, "Brother, I don't want to hide it from you. A little Ellis and two businessmen are worth such a big price?"

After Liu Xiaoyao heard this, he was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "No matter from which point of view, this operation is not worth it, because the cost of training this 12-member team is almost equal to their weight in silver, and even So gold.

From my personal point of view, this 12-man team can completely kill Cromwell or Charles I, instead of saving little Ellis and the two businessmen.

However, His Majesty would not agree, and neither would the top and bottom of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Even if this 12-member team was wiped out, they must not sit back and watch little Ellis and those two businessmen have problems.

Or to put it another way, the life and death of little Ellis has nothing to do with anyone. From His Majesty to the military, what he always cares about is the life and death of the two Ming people.

If it wasn't for the Marquis who had already started selling arms to Charles I and Cromwell, I'm afraid the South Sea Fleet would have passed the Suez Canal by now. "

Liu Xiaoyao knew why Emperor Chongzhen cared so much about the life and death of two Ming people, even if they were two people he didn't care much about, because of what Emperor Chongzhen said to himself when Lin Dan Khan returned from his first northern expedition.

"This is my fault. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation in the future!"

What happened afterwards, Liu Xiaoyao never mentioned it to anyone, but Liu Xiaoyao, who joined the army from that day on, knew that Emperor Chongzhen did give him an explanation, and it was given in advance.

The tribes in Mobei counted as one, except for those who honestly surrendered, the rest were all built into Jingguan, and even Lin Danhan, the most powerful in Mobei, couldn't please him.

The Chahar tribe was harassed by Daming, and then by Jiannu. After that, Xia Ezhe had no choice but to surrender and became the loyal dog of Emperor Chongzhen.

If it was replaced by other emperors, let alone how they would treat the surrendered Xia Ezhe and others, at least they would not carry out extermination of the tribes in Mobei, let alone build a large Beijing temple, especially Lin Danhan's royal court. Court of the Tartars.

For this explanation, Liu Xiaoyao is very satisfied, and any Ming citizen would be satisfied.

And there are people in all the guards of the Ming Dynasty teaching that apart from swearing allegiance to Emperor Chongzhen to the death, the army of the Ming Dynasty should also have a heart for the people, even if it means sacrificing themselves for the people.

Because no one can guarantee the protection that his parents, wives and children do not need.

In the more than 20 years since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, these continuous natural disasters have fully proved this point-when encountering natural disasters, the army will be the first to dispatch to rescue people and maintain order, and many relatives are in danger of being asked for help. among those people.

No one will listen to the great truth if it is said ten thousand times, but after experiencing the feeling that saving others is saving oneself, Daming's army began to undergo a complete transformation.

So Liu Xiaoyao is also very clear why Emperor Chongzhen sent this 12-member Jinyiwei team to risk saving people, even though the cost of training this 12-member team far exceeds the rewards for saving people.

Liu Wenbing is not very clear, because his identity has already determined that he will not understand this feeling. He has never faced the desperate situation of being left to die after his family members are killed.

And Liu Xiaoyao knew how desperate people would become in such a desperate situation. Even if there was even a glimmer of hope, Liu Xiaoyao wanted to hold on to that feeling. Liu Xiaoyao didn't want to experience it again in his life.

If I replaced those two Da Ming businessmen with myself, I would definitely look forward to someone coming to save me in the current situation, and then I would return to Da Ming and never run out again.

To push others by themselves, those two Ming businessmen must have thought the same way.

Because no one wants to be the one who is sacrificed.

Liu Wenbing saw that Liu Xiaoyao had been silent, so he didn't try to persuade him.

Things have come to this point, apart from following the wishes of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and Jin Yiwei, there is actually no good way to do the rest.

Those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Cromwell is barefoot now, so he has the courage to continue to detain little Ellis and the two Ming people after the peace is unsuccessful, because this is his amulet.

And the incomparably powerful Daming can only throw a mouse, unless he doesn't care about the life and death of those two people at all.

At night, Liu Wenbing looked at the boat that was completely integrated with the sea, and couldn't help asking: "Can they succeed?"

Liu Xiaoyao said: "It's definitely possible. Jin Yiwei has never missed a time, whether it's in Daming or overseas, never!"

The people on the boat were very calm, except for the rowing sailors who were members of the Suez Canal Fleet, there were twelve other people who couldn't see their faces at all. The clothes and equipment on their bodies were completely different from those of other Ming soldiers. The sailors kept watching.

However, no matter how you looked at it, it was useless. These twelve people seemed to be dumb. Apart from being silent, none of them spoke, they just closed their eyes and rested their minds.

It wasn't until they were approaching the shore that the leader suddenly opened his eyes and ordered, "Get ready to go ashore!"

The other eleven people were silently sorting out and inspecting their equipment, while a small flag who had been staying beside the leader was full of confusion.

Just approaching the shore, but the speed of the boat rowing forward has not changed at all, but this man directly ordered his men to prepare to land when he was about to land. How did he know that he was about to land?

It would be fine if this person kept his eyes open all the time, but a small flag standing next to this person could see clearly that the twelve Jinyiwei all had their eyes closed.

In other words, this person was able to figure out that he was about to touch the shore entirely by relying on the distance he saw when he landed and the speed of the boat.

This ability is terrifying. There is not much moonlight at night, and you are on the sea surface, and you still have your eyes closed!

After all twelve people got ashore, Xiao Qi, who was in charge of the small boat, couldn't help saluting to the group, and said in a low voice, "I wish you success soon!"

However, Xiaoqi's salute was nothing but the 12 people's return salute and heavy nodding. It seemed that the [-] people were really dumb.

Returning the salute to Xiao Qi, the twelve people turned around and ran towards the dark place in the distance. The coordination between their speed and progress made Xiao Qi dumbfounded - he could hardly find anything to attack during their march. Their flaws!
