Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

On the day of the rehearsal, countless noble men and women in costumes appeared at the pier, holding their partners' arms and slowly boarding a big ship. They will take this big ship to the sea to enjoy the warship rehearsal.

Yinzhen and his party also appeared in a low-key manner.

To say it was low-key, Fucha Mawu, who usually followed him, rarely appeared, and only Su Peisheng and Zhang Jia's guards accompanied him.

Yinzhen's appearance was quite eye-catching. For example, the stewards who received the guests recognized Yinzhen as one of today's "key guests" at a glance, and enthusiastically led a group of people into the banquet hall.

Yinzhen looked around with great interest.

In the banquet hall, the men are dressed in proper formal attire, smoking cigars and drinking champagne, toasting and chatting loudly; the ladies are dressed in gorgeous long skirts, swinging feather fans, and laughing constantly.

This is not like a military exercise, but rather like an ordinary banquet.As soon as Xu Zhen thought about it, the steward who led the way changed his direction slightly, and led the group slowly to the second floor.

The second floor is much quieter.

The curved glass windows form a huge viewing platform, and there are long dining tables under the radiant crystal lamps, and the champagne-colored tablecloths are filled with colorful food and snacks—it’s just that no matter how delicious it looks, it’s indescribable. People care about it.The idle guests gathered together in twos and threes to whisper, judging from their slightly restrained appearance, everyone present was a stranger.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows.

This is the best place to watch the drill. The businessmen who want to come to these East India Company seem to want to give themselves a blow?This routine is really exactly the same as what Khan Ama did.

Yinzhen instantly remembered the Fujian naval drills that year.

If so?He looked around with a half-smile, and as he expected, the servants who shuttled among the guests obviously had a fixed scope of work. While entertaining with a smile, they also methodically eavesdropped on the conversations of the people around them.

Was it not just me who was going to be dismounted?

After observing for a while, Yinzhen found two other groups of Qing merchants inside, but they had never met each other, and they were unfamiliar with each other's identities.

Yinzhen looked around curiously.

It just so happened that the other party was also a little bit surprised. After Yinzhen chose the location, the two groups of people tentatively approached and said a few words. After all, it is also a kind of fate to meet people from the Qing Dynasty in a foreign land.

Yinzhen smiled and said a few words, and then whispered a few words with Zhang Jia's guards—using a unique language mixed with Chinese, Mongolian, Rakshasa Mandarin, German, and French.

This is a pain for the servants and attendants nearby.

They shouldered the work of observation and eavesdropping, and each of them knew at least three languages, but they couldn't understand the hodgepodge conversations of Yinzhen and others at all.Just when they broke out in cold sweat and wanted to report to their superiors, they found that the conversation between Yinzhen and his party had returned to normal...Huh?

As soon as these guilty eavesdroppers raised their heads, they met Yin Zhen's half-smile face. They raised their faces and lowered their heads, avoiding attention in a panic.

Yinzhen looked away.

A few words were enough for him to explain to Su Peisheng and Zhang Jia's guards. As for the two groups of Qing businessmen, they also understood the situation in an instant, and while their eyes were filled with anger, a ray of red suddenly rose on their faces.

Among them, Xiao Yangrong from Guangdong Shisanhang was a young and energetic boy, and he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice with a dark face: "Too much bullying."

The servants pretended not to hear.

They had the cheek to pretend nothing happened, and stood silently where they were.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce did not come to find them.

Maybe it's because he feels that everything is inevitable, maybe it's because he thinks that he should wait for Yinzhen to deliver it to his door, but as for Yinzhen, he just thinks... well, the feeling of being clean is very good.

It was two hours after the exercise officially started—and at this moment, everyone finally discovered the horror of this exercise.

The sound of rumbling gunfire resounded in the sky, and what caught everyone's eyes was the sea surface dyed red by flames, the sky shrouded in black smoke, tumbling waves, and desperate faces.

Henry Zhang's complexion faded away.

He looked into the distance in amazement, and couldn't help raising his voice slightly: "There is someone up here!!!"

That's right, there were endless screams on the ships besieged by artillery fire.

Even if you can't hear their words clearly, you can still feel their despair and fear.

The surrounding servants did not hear anything.

Unlike the dead silent observation deck on the second floor, there were bursts of cheers from the lower deck of the ship.

Yinzhen approached the glass window, staring coldly at the audience on the first floor.

The faces of people in gorgeous and rich clothes can't see the regret and fear of the loss of human life, but full of enthusiasm, excitement and joy, as if what disappeared in front of them is not human beings but animals, ants and even garbage.

The difference from the Fujian navy's acting is that what these East India Company businessmen attacked was not a target, but a ship with people.As the ship gradually fell silent, the guests on the ship cheered again, which made people feel inexplicably creepy.

The busier the first floor, the quieter the second floor.

Like Yinzhen, there are not a few "valuable guests" who did not show any reaction, or showed anger on their faces, and most of them had deep fear in their eyes.

For ordinary businessmen, the scene in front of them seems to be foretelling something?If they are disobedient, will their merchant ship also be buried in the sea like this unlucky ship?Everyone's faces were very bad, and the scene in front of them seemed to be the nightmare in their hearts manifested in reality, which made people flustered.

Someone couldn't stop scolding.

There were also people who hurriedly stopped the scolding person and showed a flattering smile at the president of the chamber of commerce.

First there was one person, and then many people swarmed up and surrounded the president of the chamber of commerce, throwing out basket after basket of flattery as if they didn't want money.

Yinzhen retracted his gaze and looked at the gradually sinking ship again.

The flames of the ship billowing with thick smoke were still bright, and a string of numbers flashed past Yinzhen's eyes.

The death toll in the flames continues to rise.

The ferocious and twisted soul let out an unbearable scream, hovering in the air for a long time, unwilling to dissipate.Yinzhen stretched out his hand and turned his backhand upwards, and these souls flew towards him as if they had found their home.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes again.

He was surrounded by countless souls, screams of resentment echoed in his ears, and countless hands pulled Yinzhen, as if they wanted to take him into hell together.

If other people could see it, they would have to be scared to the ground by the scene in front of them, but to Yinzhen, this was just a trivial matter.

His expression didn't change in any way, and the ridicule flashed in his eyes.He raised his hand and patted his shoulder casually, those souls disappeared from his palm like ice and snow, but Yinzhen turned a blind eye, staring at the president of the chamber of commerce in front of him silently.

Surrounded by many people, he didn't notice Yinzhen's gaze at all, but subconsciously shuddered and frowned.

Just such a small movement is enough to change the expressions of the people around him, calling for doctors, holding handkerchiefs, and holding hot water... It was so lively that the president of the chamber of commerce gave him a headache.He casually dismissed these people, and then turned his attention to Qiangzazi.

For example Yinzhen.

He led the people and walked to Yinzhen's side with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency Misha, what do you think of today's performance?"

As for Xiao Yangrong and others, he completely ignored them.

Yinzhen glanced at him, and lazily said, "Not bad."

not bad?

The president of the Chamber of Commerce raised his eyebrows in surprise, which was slightly different from the answer he was expecting.

But it is also worthy of their choice.

The president of the chamber of commerce smiled at Yan Yan, with a charming smile, and he asked bluntly: "Has Your Excellency Mi Xia thought about it? Do you want to cooperate with us? As long as we can cooperate, we will be a win-win situation. Fu|shou|ointment can—"

Before he finished speaking.

Henry Zhang, who couldn't hide his anger, interrupted him: "Wait!"

He glared at the president of the chamber of commerce.

With vigilance, Henry Zhang explained to Yinzhen in a gentle voice: "Don't be fooled by him! It's poppy, it's opium, thinking that taking a name of fortune|shoupao can wipe out the horror behind it. Is the pen erased? If we introduce this thing to the Central Plains, will we still be worthy of the elders and fellow villagers at home, worthy of the whole world, and worthy of our conscience?"

When the East India Company businessman contacted them last time, Henry Zhang flatly refused.It's just that they didn't expect that even so they would still be invited to participate in this military exercise.

Maybe they want to give them a blow?

Henry Zhang sneered, but it was a pity that after seeing the cruel and cruel behavior of these Europeans, he just wanted to take a sip.

You wait for the wolf's ambition, who can not know it?

Xiao Yangrong's eyes are burning and bright. As a man, he has his own loyalty and belief. Even if he is just a businessman, he will not put his interests before his homeland.

The president of the chamber of commerce snorted.

He grabbed Henry Zhang's shoulders and slammed him aside.Xiao Yangrong is not very old, and his body is much weaker and more fragile than the Europa people. He fell to the ground suddenly under the push of the president of the chamber of commerce.

A group of people exclaimed at the same time.

Before they could help Henry Zhang up, the servants around him rushed over, drew out the long sword at their waist and pointed at them viciously.

The president of the chamber of commerce snorted.

The power of the Shaw Chamber of Commerce and even the East India Company are quite envious. Originally, it would be the best if Xiao Yangrong, the son-in-law, was happy to form an alliance. Since he wants to resist the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, he is also happy to kill others.

Henry Zhang is the chicken, and Yinzhen is the monkey.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Yin Zhen who seemed to be stunned by the scene in front of him, and at the same time he was proud of himself, he drew out his long sword without haste, pointed it at Henry Zhang and held it high.

There is still some regret in the eyes of the president of the chamber of commerce.

It's a pity, originally according to the young master's face, he should be able to sell for a good price.

What a waste...

At the same time as his thoughts fell, the long sword of the president of the Chamber of Commerce fell straight down under the horrified eyes of the people around him.

Seeing that Henry Zhang's head was about to be chopped off immediately.

Yinzhen stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Yangrong, pulling him a little away—the long sword of the president of the Chamber of Commerce fell to the ground hard, splitting a long crack in the brown-red carpet.

He couldn't hide his malice in his eyes, staring at Yinzhen coldly.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce drew his long sword, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Your Excellency Mikhail—what do you mean?"

When Dayi said there was a disagreement, he went straight to the sword.
