C1869 Joint Fleet Launch (2/2)
All of the Chinese in the city went crazy. All the natives and foreign devils were shocked by this scene. No one dared to provoke these Chinese that day, so all of them subconsciously retreated.
Xiao Letian, who was standing at the bow of the boat, swore with swollen red eyes, ”Don't be anxious … Wait till I come back victorious in Europe! At that time, we will be at the doorstep of the strong! When that time comes, I will definitely get ashore! ”
The united fleet covered the entire strait, starting from the star slope's entrance and moving westwards. The entire main waterway was occupied by the fleet, and the merchant ships all avoided them.
Some of the local scholars who saw such a large-scale fleet suddenly thought of the Three Treasures Eunuch descending into the Southern Ocean. They all wrote in their diaries, ”History has repeated itself. Perhaps a dynasty even more glorious than the Great Ming Dynasty will appear again!” ”The heavens are blessing China …”
The night in the Malacca Strait was beautiful, especially after the lights of the countless battleships connected into a bright river of lanterns, the starlight in the sky resonated and resonated. This scene was truly beautiful beyond compare.
All of the soldiers who were not on duty were resting on the deck to admire the beautiful scenery, but they could not find Xiao Letian's figure in the crowd. At this moment, he had locked himself in the Head of State's cabin, and the one kneeling opposite him was Hairy Twenty.
Hairy # 2 was smacked on the left side of his face. It was Xiao Letian who hit him until now and scolded him, ”Are you crazy? It was just a handful of purple clay pot. No matter how expensive they were, they wouldn't be so distressed, right? Have you forgotten diplomatic etiquette? ”
”Do you know how important our big strategy is? What's wrong with being able to spend money on a little people's hearts at a time like this? We will fight for even the slightest bit of help! Yet, you are causing trouble for me... ”I, I, I …”
Xiao Letian was so angry that he raised his hand to slap Hairy # 2 again.
”Sigh …” Xiao Letian let out a long sigh and asked: ”Tell me your inner thoughts. It's not as if you're a child who doesn't understand the big picture. There's definitely something on your mind …”
Hairy # 2 kowtowed and said with tears in his eyes, ”It's nothing, it's really nothing …” I just can't bear to part with that pot. We Chinese have carefully raised pots for 400 years, yet we haven't changed the type that makes tea. Why should we give it to foreign devils? What if they make coffee? ”
”I'll go...” You brat, why aren't you telling me the truth? Governor Philip was a noble and not a parvenu, how could he waste such a heavenly treasure? Furthermore, you have already told him the way inside, so how could he possibly waste this opportunity? ”
”Your godfather, I will tell you the truth …” You... Do you not want to work with Zai Chun anymore? ”
Hot tears rolled down his face as he kowtowed and fell to the ground, unable to say a single word. However, Xiao Letian only sighed and said, ”Your performance during the day was obviously to compete with the Governor Philip, but it was actually just to embarrass His Majesty, right? You made him embarrassed, was it because he doesn't want to return to the Forbidden City? ”
”You want to use the ruckus between you and Zai Chun to force me to keep you here? You want to take the initiative to cut off that little favor you have with the Qing Dynasty's royal family and thereby end the road to return to the Forbidden City? ”
”Of course you would think that... ”Because you know that I will never stand aside and watch without doing anything. Since you've cut off your path to enter the Forbidden City, it's natural for you to stay behind …”
”Isn't it?”
