Chapter 571 Since Ancient Times, "Your Excellency the Marquis, you don't seem to look down on these negroes?
”Helena obviously feels that Jeon Wook is discriminating against black people, in fact, Helena doesn't look down on it, but as a tool, black people are actually suitable.Jeon Xu is also a little strange, on the Princess Helena Catherine, these black men who were bought by Helena are very diligent, they pack up the cables, wash the deck, and help the Venetian sailors on the ship.In fact, this is not a delusion.Quan Xu has also seen a lot of black rumors in later generations, this is not an exaggeration, Africans do their work is indeed indescribable, take the simplest building a house as an example, Africans can only move bricks, even the work of building a wall Africans are not competent, even if it is supervised by the supervisor, Africans will most likely build a wall crookedly, this has nothing to do with technology, it is completely caused by a lack of responsibility, and it will not be like this with a little snack.Of course, black people are not like this, but they have been spoiled by the so-called democracy of later generations, or it can be said that they have been spoiled.It's not discrimination, it is.In this era, no one talked to the blacks about human rights, and there was no colonizer who was merciful to them.Helena still patiently persuaded: "Your Excellency the Marquis, you need a large number of workers to build a railway in Liaodong, I can catch this kind of black slave for you, they have a lot of strength, they have little food, and you don't have to pay them for their wages......"
"Forget it, it's good if you like it, don't you Venetian have a shortage of manpower?"
”Quan Xu said with a smile: "If you take them to Venice, in less than ten years, you can give birth to ten Venetian ......!"
”"You ......"
Helena was angry: "They're just tools, tools, not people!"
”The genes of black people are strong, this is the test of the times, blacks and people are mixed, and nine out of ten people born are blacks, of course, in the United States, black people want to marry white people, it is no less difficult than poor dicks to marry white rich and beautiful, if you carry it, that's fine.In fact, it is almost impossible for whites and blacks to intermarry, let alone get married, and when passers-by see white women and black men walking on the street holding hands, they will often "kindly" remind white women to be careful of the black man next to them.Of course, they don't believe in evil.Of course, many of us will say, if you watch Hollywood movies, why are white women falling in love with black people, falling in love with each other, and you must find that in Hollywood movies, nine times out of ten, black people are good people, not bad people.This is because of the political correctness of the United States, there are some things that can be done, but cannot be said.In the nearly 300 years since the founding of the United States, less than 2.3 percent of the children of mixed race born to white and black marriages have been born.In fact, there are many people who are mixed because of counterattacks, just like being rich.Rich people can have the same transcendent status in the United States, such as Michael Jackson, he can marry Lisa Marie Presley, and of course, Jackson is also a pick-up man.Helena didn't find herself bored with the black question, she said with some doubts: "Your Excellency Marquis, now that the Dutch East India Company and the Great British East India Company are involved in this war, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"
Don't worry about it either?
”"Worried about what?"
Quan Xu smiled disapprecitatively: "Zheng Zhilong's deployment this time seems to be ingenious, he united the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and British, by the way, as well as the French and the Swedes, this plan is impossible to succeed!"
”"Why?""
Because of profit!"
Quan Xu smiled: "They are all businessmen, businessmen have a common temperament, that is, to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, if our whole family army is vulnerable, they will be like sharks smelling blood, rushing up, but unfortunately, our whole family army is not vulnerable, the fifteen-nation combined fleet, it sounds quite bluffing, in fact, they are afraid!"
”"How could they be afraid?""
They're not as powerful as they think they are!"
Quan Xu smiled: "Isn't the Spanish Armada gone?"
”Helena let out a long sigh, compared with Zheng Zhilong four years ago, Zheng Zhilong seems to have lost his sharpness, and Quan Xu is more like Zheng Zhilong four years ago.Initially, Quan Xu recaptured Liaodong, which was lost by the Ming Dynasty, from Jiannu, then from Zheng Zhilong, and then from the Dutch and Spaniards.Taiwan is actually no smaller than the small countries of Europe, in fact, Taiwan is much larger than the city-state republic of Venice, but Quan Xu is not satisfied, nor has he stopped the pace of expansion.He led his fleet thousands of miles south and took Luzon from the Spaniards, and Quan Xu never hid his ambitions for the South Seas.One of the additional conditions for the transaction between the whole family army and Venice was the nautical charts, and the current general staff of the whole family army has drawn a detailed map of the islands of the South Seas, with the navigation charts of the Indian Ocean and the South Sea.In the Xisha Sea, the main warships of the whole family army and navy have caught up with the combined fleet of fifteen European countries, of course, it is only within the line of sight to catch up, and it will take about two or three hours to really engage the battle, there is no way, the speed difference between one and two sections, if you want to catch up with the enemy, the difficulty is not ordinary.The fifteen-nation combined ships continued to flee southward, and the three armed merchant ships, which were relatively slow, had already opened their water valves and were ready to sink themselves.It's a pity that because of the collective opposition of the whole family army and navy, Quan Xu left the Zheng He, and instead boarded the Princess Catherine, there was no way, which main warship he stayed on, which main warship withdrew from the battle, and left eight main warships and more than a hundred Exocet warships to protect Quanxu.Jeon Wook was very helpless.He can't live up to the wishes of the soldiers of the whole family.The Black Tulip, a warship belonging to the British East India Company, is by far the largest warship of the British Navy, built by the Woolwich shipyard.It was a ship with a total length of 49.9 meters, a width of 14.7 meters, a depth of 23.17 meters, a draft of 6.8 meters, a weight of 1,600 tons, and 90 guns, 30 guns on the low and main decks, and 26 guns on the upper deck.There were 12 guns on the bow floor, 14 guns on the half deck, 10 bow guns and a number of stern guns.The ship has 11 anchors, each weighing 2 tons.There were more than 800 sailors, the largest shells had a net weight of 60 pounds, and a salvo of shells weighed a ton.However, it is a pity that these naval guns are front-loading smoothbore guns, which can be fired at about 800 meters, have a high hit rate, and are more advanced than all Spanish warships.However, the problem is that the ship actually fled without a fight.Reilly III, this "III" does not have too special meaning, many people in European countries will use the name of their father or grandfather, so they will add "II" or "III" after the name to distinguish, such as Reilly III, his name is actually Waterl's Reilly III, that is, Waterl's grandson.For whites, this is commonplace.Sir Reilly roared aboard the Tulip, "You are all cowards, a disgrace to the Empire!
”Sir Rhodes said coldly: "You can do it, then you can go!"
”Sir Reilly opened his mouth and did not speak.Sir Rhodes said: "The British East India Company is a valuable asset of the Empire, and the cost of the Black Tulip is 40,000 pounds.Can you afford it?
”"Gentlemen, let's not quarrel, quarrel will not solve anything!"
Sir Hono said, "What are we going to do now?"
”"We should talk to His Excellency the Marquis of the East!"
Sir Hono smiled bitterly: "Either cooperate to make a fortune, or resolutely crack down!"
”At this time, the Portuguese representative said: "Or, let's spend money with Daming to buy it, right?"
”The Portuguese invasion of Macao was not defeated, but took advantage of the fact that the Ming government did not pay enough attention to the island and leased it in the form of lease."
Who's going to negotiate?"
Sir Hono said, "Shall I go?"
People in our civilized world will never be unruly, and the Ming Empire will definitely not be as barbaric as those barbarians!
”That is, in less than an hour, the fifteenth combined fleet reached an agreement, and Sir Hono took the ship Victoria, raised the white flag, and signaled to the whole army that there was a need for negotiations.On the fifteenth day of the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Quan Xu met with Sir Huo Nuo on the Zheng He in the Xisha Sea.Jeon Wook doesn't know Spanish, but Helena.With Spain dominating the seas, Spanish was not a small language at this time, but a lingua franca in Europe, like English.The influence of the English language was confined to the British Isles."
Your Excellency the Marquis, I am the Minister of Affairs of the Spanish Far East Colony, Lord Hono Cortés, we are all nobles, and we come with the sincerity of peace!"
After the translation of the translator, Quan Xu smiled faintly: "I am the most peace-loving person!"
”Helena, who was the translator, felt a toothache when she heard this.If Quan Xu wants to think that he is a peace-loving person, then there will be no tyrannical people in the world, he is as gentle as a spring breeze to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and to his enemies, he is ten thousand times more terrifying than Satan."
You Spaniards have invaded our Ming Dynasty's Taiwan, Macao, Penghu, and Luzon, and we need you to make up for our losses!"
Huo Nuo asked with a serious face: "Loss, what do you have to lose?"
”"How many people have you killed in Taiwan?
Not to mention hundreds of thousands, right?
Also, in Luzon, you slaughtered our Ming people, I calculated, 200,000 people is only a lot more, let's count 200,000. ”"Okay, even if there are 200,000 people, but you got Taiwan, you got Luzon, and you still want compensation?"
Quan Xu said solemnly: "Taiwan, Penghu, Macau, Luzon, Sumatra, and Malacca have all been the territory of our Ming Dynasty since ancient times!"
